The Waterloo Education Consultation will be open to students, faculty, staff, O.A.C. students, their parents, alumni and members of business -&d industry, The consultation will take place September 20, 21, and 22, from 1O:OO a.m, to 500 p.m. each day, in the Multi-Purpose Room in the Student Life Centre. The forum is running for three days, and those who wish to participate should visit the Federation of Students of&e in the Student Life Centre. The Advisory Panel was set up in July bv the Minister of Education and Training,

John Snob&n, to obtain input from the public towards formulating a plan to restructure the post-secondary education system in this province. The Panel’s mandate is to recommend the best cost sharing structure, opportunities for co-operation among various institutions in the province, and a plan to deal with titure expected 1eveIsof demand for post-secondary education. As well as accepting written submissions from any concerned party, the panel will also be seeking input through a series of hearings with a

small number of college and university representatives, running from September 25 through to October 31 at schools in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Ottawa, Hamiiton, Toronto, and London. The panel has asked the executive heads of the local colleges and universities to recommend the individuals who will attend the hearings. Discussions at the Waterloo Education Consultation will be centred around the issues of accessibility, accountability and the economic impact of universities. The Feds will consider the issues raised at the consultation in preparing their written submission to the Advisory Panel. Speakers at the forum will include representatives from the Council of Ontario Universities, the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, the Association of Universities and Colleges ofcanada, former Deputy Minister for the Ministry of Education and Training, Charles Pascal and MPP for Waterloo North, Elizabeth Witmer.

Bve bye, binaries by Greg Kraf’chick Imprint sti he University of Water100’s access to newsgroups providing software, pictures, sounds, and video will be eliminated by October 1, as recommended by a university working group. This recommendation was made by an ad-hoc working group of the University Cummittee on Information Systems and Technology (UCIST), chaired by Dr. Richard Wells of the kinesiology department. This report on “newsgroup management” was made available to the public last week and may be found on the web at www.dcs.uwaterloo.ca/directives. The change is mainly targeted at “alt. binaries” newsgroups, whose purpose is to download everything from music to porno g ra p h y with screens and screens of text code. These files constitute only two to three percent of the total number of newsgioups accessed by UW server users, but translate to a staggering 50 to 80 percent of the space in the newsgroups. Simple text-based groups, such as the myriad of alt.fan sites, are to remain unaffected. However, a brief check through Netscape news shows that such groups as alt.binar’ies.misc (148 entries), alt.binaries.mac.games (254 entries), and alt.binaries.games (an enormous 555 entries) are severely hindering the speed of such services as Telnet on campus. When traffic was at its most severe, a professor in the Computer Science faculty reported that urgent messages posted to classnewsgroups sometimes took two or even three days to appear. Exceptions will be made, however, for those sites deemed “essential for research, teaching, and administration or to enrich

the general intellectual l&e of the University.” To this end, a five-person committee will be struck from various segments of the University population, including the students, that wiil be in charge of deciding which sites to include. Those requesting the addition of newsgroups will be required to submit a short submission, in writing, as to why a particular site is necessary. According to Wells, the diction of news should be the exchange of information and ideas, and this is to be the priority given the current budgetary situation for Post-Secondary Education in Ontario. To quote the working group report “Selection is the process by which librarians deal with acquisition under the realitv of a finite budget. Selection is not ceniorship. The goal-of selection is to ensure that the intel-

lectual resources selected represent a wide variety of disciplines and points of view, and support the intellectual life of the University community.” Other options considered by the working group included updating the existing technology, removing entire hierarchies of newsgroups (such as a blanket ban on all alt. sites) and encouraging other means of accessing newsgroups based off-campus. For one reason or another (budgetary concerns, censorship concerns) these ideas were dropped in favour of the current amon Wells plans to have a meeting with all interested members of the University community later this month, to address any concerns about this action, or to get more information on receiving special permission to accessessential sites.

Downey on Subpanel by Peter Lenardon Imprint staff

niversity of Waterloo President, Dr. James Downey has been added to an education subpanel for the Ontario government’s “who does what” investigation of government services. Downey and four other members of the subpanel have three weeks come up with advice on restructuring elementary and secondary education in Ontario. Due to the time constraints, the subpanel will not be able to do a comprehensive study themselves. Instead, the five members will make recommendations based on previously conducted studies and

other material. Dr. Downey’s work will deal with the elementary and secondary school systems only, and will require about a day and one half of his time for the next three weeks. The work will cover tiding issues like taxation as well as school system govemante. Dr. Downey co-chaired a more comprehensive review of the New Brunswick school system in 1992 before taking over as the President of UW. The “who does what” review encompasses all government departments and services, including education. It’s objective is to decide which ievel of government should be responsible for which services, and where funding should come from.

Newwebpageaidsplagiarism, claimprofessors by Sandy Ati Imprint stasl new web page that compiles hundreds of student ssays is designed only to A help students research their work says its creator, but some professors see his venture as nothing more than an aid to plagiarism. Ken Sahr, 25, is the mind behind School Sucks, a web page that assembles essays on topics from Oscar Wilde’s l%e Picmre of Dotian Gray to hypogravitational osteoporosis. Sahr insists that the page is strictly a resource where students can examine the works of other students. Sahr operates School Sucks out ufMiarni, where he works for Systems Integration Group, a small organization specializing in computer networks and creating web pages. Sahr had the idea for the page last November, but waited until June to catch students returning to school. So far the page has been extremely popular, rece,iving nearly 58,000 hits since it started. Sahr stated to Imprint that the majority of those hits have occurred in the last two weeks. Since then, School Sucks has received “anywhere from 50 to 300 essays a week,” stated Sahr. “My background is in journalism, and the way I look at this page is that it’s providing content. If you want to cheat, you’re not going to go to my site. All the professors know ahout my site,” stated Sahr, adding “Mediocrity in the academic world is nothing new. This is a way of keeping them on their toes.” Not everyone shares Sahr’s enthusiasm. Dr. Michelle Mood, Assistant Professor of Political. Science at Providence College in Rhode Island is just one professor who has written to Sahr, expressing serious concerns about his

page. Many other professors have written in, claiming his page is a threat to academic achievement. In a letter to Sahr posted on his page, Mood writes “Thank you so much for getting on the web. It

I look forward to failing and expelling students who use their time in school to, replicate research sources or actual papers found on the web.” However, Sahr insists that plagiarizers will not be aided by his web page. A disclaimer on his pages states that “School Sucks is NOT here for you to plagiarize, If you can not write a paper youshouldn’t be in school. Furthermore, almost every professor in the world now knows about School Sucks. Any student who turns in a paper from this site should be thrown out of school not only for plagiarism, but for sheer foolishness!” Besides issues of plagiarism, Sahr has already received criticism regarding the level of academic achievement evident in the essays.Sahr readily admits that he doesn’t rate the papers, and doesn’t see this as a criticism of his page. He claims that the essaysare simply a cross section of the various levels of scholastic accomplishment attained by students around the globe. He seesprofessors who complain about the essaysas simply “passing the buck.” Sa.hr sees School Sucks as a

Every time they check the site, it’s another hit; which brings me closer to advertising.” Sahr, however doesn’t see School Suck5 to stay as a collection of essays.“My vision of this is that the essays will just be one aspect of the page, that eventually this will be the number one resource for university students ,” Already, the pige includes 3 classifieds section, personals, a calendar, exam questions, reac tions from professors and studerrrs and this week, School Sucks added a space for students to post their resumes for potential employers the word.

The faculty frosh registration centres were equally busy. Many faculties distributed more frosh kits on the first day than they had expected. After picking up their orientation kits, frosh were led in various icebreaker activities to start the friend-making process. When the early registration was over for the day, groups headed to their first event of the week. Tuesday was also an exciting day as the frosh became better acquainted with each other and their leaders during the all-facultv pep rally and Dean’s address (‘i need a standing ovation!“). The Village residences had their Quad Hop Tuesday night, while Science took their frosh to a Blue JaysGame against the Kansas City Roy& at the Skydome, The Jays lost, but fresh had a great time cheering with, and sometimes against, a Queens frosh leader group across from them in the nosebleed section.

Wednesday was faculty day where all ne& students had a chance to attend sessions about the program of their choice, with emphasis on what is to be expetted from their experiences here

at UW. Most faculties scheduled big parties for the evening, including a Karaoke night for Renison, an “ELPE Recovery” party for ATts, and an “Elixir Analysis” party for Science. Most seemed to run smoothly, with very few incidences of underage or excessive drinking. The few problems experienced that evening were handled effectively by Orientation organizers. The infamous Scavenger Hunt took place Thursday, and what a day it was. This is the only time during the year that you can see a cow, two tractor trailers, a IX Car, and a boar on campus within the same evening, if at all. Spirit and unity were at an all time high as frosh scoured the city looking for the most unusual items they could find.

Exhausted first year students combatted against one another in events such as dodgeball, tug-owar, and body soccer. Kudos to Village Two who put in a valiant effort in the iegendary Chariot Race but were tSetrayed by their equipment.

UW True Crime’ Water-Zoo Regional )Fg!pH l-800-265-22222

ah Frosh Week came a surge of UW True Crime. Here’s a list of happenings of the past two weeks

TheftofUnivedty -pew

On September 5 there was an attempted theft of the much-coveted Math tie on MC. The attempt was totally discouraged, with one person caught and two others getting away. The situation was handled &rough the faculty. Also on September 5 the sign from the Right Angle Cafe in MC was stolen by students from another faculty. No one has been caught, and the sign has yet to reappear. One person was interviewed in connection with the incident, and two faculties are involved in an attempt to sort the situation out successMy. On September 6 drywall knives and trowels were stolen from a construction area in the General Services complex. On August 30 some tools and equipment were stolen from a locked tool box near El 1532. Crimes of Opportunity A car was broken into and rollerblades stolen from inside at Parking Lot C. UW Police would like to remind people that valuables left visible inside of cars are targets for break-ins. The best lines of defence, other than taking them with you, would include putting valuables in the trunk or putting them out of view in the CX.

A Sony Discman was stolen at St. Paul% College. Some personal photography equipment was stolen near ES2 Rm.

272.

A 21 speed men’s Tequesta bike, blue-yellow in coiour with a lock and headlight, was taken from tht: Bl and 2 entrances facing Needles Hall. A Canadian passport was lost near the MSA, owned by Sriharan Thambirajah.

Mischief to ~~P-tY On August 24 a concrete biock was thrown through the second floor stairwell window in Conrad Grebel On September 4 at 1:30 a.m. some signs were taken off their mountings north of the Cul de Sac at V2. Qn September 3 at 11:45 p.m. one student and two unidentified individuals damaged a picnic table outside of SLC. The student was identified but re&ed responsibility in the incident. Nevertheless they have been banned from the SLC, the Bomber, and Fed Hall. The incident was apparently alcohol-related. Over five hundred dollars of damage was caused by a driver that backed into another car in the ECH gravel lot. There were no injuries. On March 3,1996 two in&viduals, one a student and both under the influence of alcohol, caused some damage at Renison college. Both pled guilty to mischief charges on July 25. Paul Geoffrey Boreham was sentenced to twelve months probation with a conditional disiharge guaranteeing his good behavior. He has also been banned from UW propcrty,andfined$1018.74,thecost to repair the damages to Conrad Grebel. The co-accused was also assaulted by Boreham, who was convicted of this crime as well. Harrassment A female student in Vl reported receiving annoying phone calls. A male individual phoned her and the woman mistook him for a friend of hers. The unknown man duly played along, and they agreed to meet off-campus. When her friend did not show she began to become suspicious, and when the unidentified man phoned her again she became apprehensive and phoned the Uvv Police, The UW Police advise people

in this situation to take certain measures to stop situations such as these. Call display can be a usew tool to screen out undesirable conversations, and anyone who is annoying should simply be hung up on. If the problem persists it’s a good idea to first find out who is phoning you. Mer that keep a pad and pen by the phone and record carefUlly the dates and times of calls you receive, and report this information to UVV Police. Simple documentation is very usell towards proving harrassment.

Medical Emergencies There were two ambulance calls last week. On September 3 an individual in the SLC fainted with chest pains. He eventually regained consciousness and was fine. A second call was placed on September 6 in E3 when a staff member with high blood pressure fainted and hit his head on the way down. He was transported by ambulence to the hospital and has since recovered.

Meet

Fire Ahms A total of eight alarms were set offon campus since August 30 - two in MSA, two in SLC, one in MC, one at SJC, one in V 1 North Quad. There were calls all over campus through Frosh Week, a product of the less than orderly behavior on campus at the time. UW Police would like to remind people that false alarms are answered just like the real thing, unnecessarily risking fire truck drivers’ safety. Unnecessary evacuation of buildings (like the Bombshelter on a busy Tuesday) are another adverse effect. Students are advised that civil lawsuits have been started over false fire alarms, and as well the actiun is an indictable criminal offense, under section 437 of the Criminal Code, that carries a maximum two year jail sentence.

of Students

Flanders,

I don’t know where to begin. I just began school here and I didn’t get into residence with my friends. Now I feel left out, because they are doing all of these cool things with their Dons and floor mates while I sit at home twiddling my thumbs. I also just went to my first day of classesand am feelini overwhelmed. I have to write a paper about Women’s Issues but have never been in the library (it is awfully big andscary.) Can you give me some advice... Feeling

Lost

well Lost, you have come to the right place! I happen to know of a great place called the FED Office that can put you back on the road to being “found.” First off the FEDS provide many services for students who are feeling a little left “out of the loop” and just need someone to talk to. You could call the PALS Phoneline and speak to a peer anonymously about how you’re feeling. The Phoneline operates every night and its number is 8884866. The FEDS also have a Service called PODS which stands for PALS Off-Campus Dons. This service pairs you up with an upper

year

student, so you can start doing the same types of activities that your on-campus friends are doing, and also meet a bunch of people just like yourself. it souids like your professor has you doing some heavyduty topics for a first assignment, but fear not because the FEDS now have a Student Issues Resource Centre. The Coordinator is very cool and can get you information on most non-academic, non-administrative issues. Also, since your topic deals with Wom-

is perfectly all right to want to socialize with your friends and meet new people, butgettingcompletely bombed every night is a bit extreme to say the least. There are plenty_ of _things _. to _do _on this campus that don’t involve being a plaster-head. I think that you should check out RACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students). This is a service provided through the FEDS that is intended to provide students with alternative to drinking, especially when they drink as-heavily as you are planning to. You also may want to give the PALS Phoneline a call, just in casesomething else is bothering you and

Sincerely, Fran

you

Dear Fran Flanders, Hi, ah...X’m new here and Ijust really want to party it up and get completely bombed every night. Are there any places on campus where I can kick it until all hours ofthe morning. Also, is it ok if I bring beer to class as long as it isn’t in a glass container? Party

On,

Plastered Hello Plastered, Sounds to me like you have a problem, and it isn’t whether or not you can drink during class. It

need to talk to someone.

Finally the FEDS provide two fantastic on campus bars for the students (The Bomber and Fed Hall). We want to see the students kick back and have a good time while they are here at UW, but the key is bala.nce...nobody wants to see you taking a permanent vacation beginning at Christmas . Take Care, Fran Fran is a figment of the VP Internal’s imagination. The FEDS however are very real, and are located in the Student Life Centrc. If you would like more infor mation on the many serviceswhich the FEDS provide, contact us at 888-4042.

Where’s Gonzo when you need it? t’s a torture I put myselfthrough nearly everyday, but for some reason I can’t shake this habit. I watch the news, II watch CNN, Headline News and CBC Newsworld, but all I think of when I’m watching it is “why is this so goddamn shitty?” If I see Larry King suck up to one more degenerate politician/actor/O. J. Simpson laywer again, I’m going to have to hunt him down and punch him until he forgets how to kiss ass. You too Barbara Walters. Last year, King had a congenial interview with Mike Tyson for christsake! The rapist who’s changed because he found Allah. Yeah, whatever. But it’s certainly not Edir to pick on King alone. He is simply the most shameless of the many talking heads paid to look good and read information they probably don’t understand. Any headline I see today simply smacks of regurgitated birdcage liner. A setback to peace in the Middle East? Canadian unity crisis? US. troubles with Islamic tindamentalists? CBC cutbacks? Rising tuition? The rise ofa right-wing faction in France? Say it isn’t so. . . again. These are dire times, dire times indeed. These are the times when we need Hunter Stockton Thompson. I’m a rclarivelp new Thompson acolyte and fully prepared to admit that nothing in his work or his biographies suggest he was a likeable man, but he created a fierql, roaring body of work that not only didn’t pull any punches, but threw them like a drunken biker. 1 Thompson essentially founded what is known as c‘gonzoy’ journtism - an attempt to get at the heart of a story by eschewing any notions of objectivity and throwing himself directly into close contact with whatever he was writing about, In doing so, HST managed to write more accurately and more informatively about subjects that the rest of the media could onlv discuss from afar. ’ He could be irresponsible to the point of incompetency. He ftiled to cover events because he was drunk or on drugs and his later writings lack the prowess of his earlier work, but it WASthe drugs and alcohol which, paradoxically, gave Hunter the edge over other reporters. While other news media treated the Hell’s Angles as true devilspawn, feeding themselves hearsay and rumour, Hunter all but joined them for a year and provided an insiders perspective on a realm where all others t&red to tread. At the s;lme time, he covered events such as the 1972 Presidential Campaign with a ciari ty unequalled irl the journalistic world. He considered Richard Nir;on a brain damaged degenerate and had no reservatiorls about saying as much. What makes Thompson so appealing is the sim/ plicitvw of his writing. 1-G wrote in the first person and while cmbeIlishmcnts were common, here was writing by someorx you could beLieve because he clearly had nothing to lose and nothing to gain. There was no need to second guess who “owned” Hunter S. Thompson ;u1c1what strings were being pulled by which n~cdia magnate for which political end. Sadly, this no-bullshit attitude is nowhere to be found - even in the fringe media. The various kicks in the teeth which need to be delivered are watered down for Emily consumption nearly everywhere. I?,J. O’Rourke is good, but he’s no Hunter S. Thompson. Hunter is still alive, living near Aspen Colorado with a distended liver and probably brain damage from his lifes&e of excess,but in his time, Thompson managed to Lund a school of writing that could be depended upon to deliver the goods straight up (and sometimes on the rocks) for a public who wanted to know what the hell was realiy going on. How sad that so few have followed his Iead.

Professor Jamieson’s cry for help goes unnoticed due to student inattention.

I don’t watch

want to you die

To th Ed&w, Ler me start by acknowledging that Hendrik van der Breggen is partly correct. The life expectancy of gay men (on average) is lower than the life expectancy of other Canadians, primarily due to a higher rate of HIV infection. This fact is so ohvious that even Mr. van dcr Breggen, who seems to get all his information about gay health issues by reading anti-gay diatribes, was unable to miss it. Like me, Mr. van der Breggen is unhappy about this situation, Or maybe he’s just unhappy that we die in a wav that costs him money. (He’s definitely unhippy about something!) What should gay men do about our reduced life expectancy? We could ail become ex-gays (and then, given the notoriously high relapse rate, become ex-ex-gays) . Or we could learn how to be both gay and healthy. Contrary to what Mr. van der Breggen seems to tlkk, gay sexuality does not consist soicly of sticking things up your bum. Men can give each other sexual pleasure in many ways, limited only by the laws

of physics and human imagination. These range from completely safe (telephone sex) to very dangerous (anal intercourse without a condom). Because ofeducation efforts within the gay community (often opposed by the likes of Mr. van der Breggen on “moral” grounds), unsafe sex has become much less common. Unfortunately, young men who sometimes have sex with other men (whether or not they think of themselves as gay) continue to have unsafe sex and get infected at an appalling rate. Men the same age as the average Imprint reader, It’s really to these men that this letter is addressed. You don’t want to die, I don’t want to watch you die, and Mr. van der Breggen doesn’t want to pay for it. Da us all a favour and learn how to protect yourself. If you want anonymous information or just someone to talk to, call one of the phone lines. Or come out to the next Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo meeting. There you’ll find a diverse group of people (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual) who are going through a loe of the same things you are. You might even get a date. It’s been known to happen.

Moreover, we invent and create solutions and products that can still not be used to their fLll potential. Perhaps the problem lies in deciding if we would rather move in fast forward, than take the time to do a good job of finishing what we have already started, never mind considering the consequences. Okay, tangent time: examine humanity as a whole. There are approximately five billion people on this planet. Do you really have an understanding of that number? Five billion. Most of us can’t visualize more than five to seven people at a time, Anyway, try to visualize these five billion individuals, with their own desires and emotions. Their minds are all active. The amount of work they do cumulatively is absolutely phenomenal-off the scale.But that’s part of the problem. These five billion people (4/5 which are in poverty) are

all actively pursuing pretty much the same thing. Survival, freedom, wealth, power, and a beautifL1 red sports car (usually in that order). These things are human needs and desires. Examine two single individuals. VVhat makes one person different from the next? You might compare his education, wealth, status, power, luxuries, and other material things (okay, and maybe sex). But maybe a comparison is a bad idea. Someone may be better OK (more likely worse ofi] than yourself. But are you really different? Mentally, the difference between yourself and someone else is very minute (physically there is almost none). It has been said that environment dictates to a great extent the personality of a person. Agreed - long term exposure to the same environment will create very different types of people, but they all have the basic human architecture. Place two completely different people? (with the power of reproduction) on an island, and they’ll start producing people much more alike. So what would happen if we exchanged you with someone at birth? Not much. You could claim that each person is an individual and that they would never think alike. It probably is more likely that it’s a matter of environment. Take into account that there are only a few environments in which humans live. For example, the “western world, the old world, and the third world.” (Okay, let’s get out of this territory now.) What is it these people lack? Here’s that word we all get defensive and touchy around: individuality. Now humanity has always been a communal sort of animal.

And we are animals.Don’t let all the em-

dom for the people of Europe and to maintain our own freedom here. Today we supposedly have freedom at much lower COG.Hmm? Sounds like todav’s ti-ecdom is for the most part an inactive; sit back way of we, not proactive, and certainly not revolutionary. All freedom has a cost. It isn’t cheap. That’s why so few people actually use it. Without cost, there is no heedom. Shocking isn’t it - learning rhat you have access to freedom, but rarely make the cRort to use it? You are free only when you exercise your rights of freedom. To chase after a single dream means sacrificing other dreams. Not many of us seem to be aware that our entire lives are a choice. We do it predictably. Most of us choose to live easily and take what comes without extraneous eEort because our people have done so generation after generation. Apparently that’s the secret of having a fulfilling life. To exercise true freedom means giving up a lot of the “easy life.” It means thinking about what you really want, ignoring societal pressures telling you what you want, and what to do. It means taking chances you would not normally take; thinking in ways that you would not normally think; opening yourself up to possibilities and ideas that you do not even consider. But it will always be easier to just go matns tream Consider your life special. Use your freedom of speech, of thought, and of act. Don’t do it to be cool. Do it to give your life some value. That’s a much better reason to be proud. l

powerment that you may have convince you otherwise. We breathe, hurt, and sleep as does every animal. We live and die like animals, we are not immortal. Some will argue that our intellect is what separates humanity from the rest of the species on the planet. And I would agree. But you can’t use that same argument applied within humanity. The majority of us in the western world (I would hypothesize 85%) think alike and have pretty much the same desires as almost every other human in a similar environment. Among ourselves, individuality as it stands today is disgraceful. So, how much can we achieve if we aren’t truly individuals? Not much. Most of us (unfortunately) have just settled for the dream of having things, ie., owning material possessions, being happy, having lots of money, having ‘clove.” It’s easy to do this, having society constantly suggesting that this is how you will get value from your life. This is unfortunate beciuse our potential to do much more gets pushed aside for our immediate luxury. A lot of people on this planet claim freedom. They have freedom from persecution, from hunger, from all the negative things that may limit their lifestyles elsewhere. They also (apparently) have freedom of thought, of speech, of act. However, most of these “free” people aren’t free. We can demonstrate few of us think differently without societal pressures forcing us into a narrow waveband of thought. How many humans really are free? To look at the problem, maybe an explanation of the expense of freedom is required. The western worid suffered high casualties in the World Wars to gain free-

Recently, an animal rights group became inf&iated when it was not allowed to present its message (delivered by a guy in a seven foot tall carrot suit) to children in an elementary school in Calgary. The message? That feeding children meat is a form of child abuse and that meat is nutritiondly unhealthy. This raises a few questions. Should our schools be the site of politically charged messages?Who decides whether or not a message is appropriate, or for that matter, even factually correct? Obviously, there are benefits to be had by children and society by influencing a kid’s behaviour at a young age. You want to get them to resolve their di.&rences through communication, not violence, you want them to brush their teeth, etc., etc. But attempting to make them vegetarians? Would it be appropriate to have a representative from a political party talk to chikken? Or a religious representative, telling children that Catholicism or Islam (to pick two of my favourites) is the only way to heaven? Or how about the N.R.A. or the KKK? Is there any difference between these

groups’ agendas and the animal rights group in question, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) ? I don’t think there is, and I don’t think that political (or religious, if you want to separate the two) agendas have any place in primary schools, where the children lack the information and the ability to view such biased presentations with critical eyes. One potentially redeeming factor ofsuch a presentation would be possible health or social benefits. For this reason, presentations that advocate things like hygiene or not littering would be ok. However, I dispute PETA’s claims that giving children meat is abusive and unhealthy. If giving a child meat is not harming the child, I don’t seehow it can be considered abusive. And whether meat is harmful can be answered quite simply. It isn’t. Of course anything in excess or to the exclusion of all else is unhealthy, including carrots or any other vegetable, but meat, in itsell; is not unhealthy. Humans are designed to eat meat+ well its vegetables. We are omnivores, and have the teeth to

r FORUM

proire it. But who decides whether children should be subjected to these things? Unfortunately, it is the decision of the Calgary public school board. Why do I say unfortunatelv Because I think that there is’ a problem when one committee or Chairperson can make decisions regarding the education of thousands of children. Each school should be allowed to decide whether or not it wants its students to be subjected to such messages, and parents can take such decisions into account when deciding where to send their children. The alternative is having one board-wide standard, giving parents absolutely no choice whatsoever. If they don’t like the education their children are receiving, they have to move to another city, a worse option than just moving their child. The decision as to whether something is factually correct would be made the same way, though in this caseI believe PETA is attempting to deliberately rnislead people with its sensationalist and incorrect claims.

What’s happening at WPIRG? Temagami update Earthroots, a Toronto-based environmental organization, has established a Forest Defence Camp (FIX) in the Owain Lake area of Temagami to prevent logging in the area. Owain Lake is the first oldgrowth stand to be opened for logging under the new Ministry of Natural Resources guidelines for Temagami. The Ontario MNR has opened seventy-three per cent of the Temagami region to logging, mining and gravel extraction. Last Wednesday, September 5, the OPP took an unusual step by arresting Earthroots FIX Coordinator Lea Ann Mallet right in the base camp. The next day at the actual blockade, twenty-one people were arrested, including support people who were not actually blockading. The Owain Lake area has been described by forest scientist Dr. Peter Quinby as the third largest sire of remaining old growth red and white pine in the world, Aaron Muirhead, who was arrested on the blockade, will be visiting UW to talk about the Earthroots campaign on Tuesday, September 17th, at 12 Noon, in the Student Life Centre multipurpose room.

About WPIRG Little Known Fact #482: The 1996 Paralympic Games were held in Atlanta from August 15 to August 25. Don’t worry, I didn’t know about it either until the CBC announced their coverage to be shown this Saturday, three weeks after the event itself. The event has received negligible media coverage. I could go on about the injustice of it all and how the Paralympians work just as hard as the other Olympians, but that wouldn’t be terribly interesting, and the link between media coverage and justice is tenuous at best-.The real question is, where was the spomorship money for the media coverage? The Paralympics saw 3,200 disabled athletes from 120 countries appear in 19 sports. Just like the Olympics, athletes complained about the transportation facilities during the Paralympics, but for different reasons. There was also plenty of controversy: Some wheelchair athletes put nails in their chairs to increase performance. Apparently, the body responds to the stimulus of the nail, while the athlete does not actually feel it. This stimulus can increase

pertbrmance by up to 15%. Memwhile, there were drugs, but some were allowed in certain circumstances, a rule which was abused surprisingly little. Where’s Ni@tline when you need it? On the positive side, Tony Volpentest, a double arm and double leg amputee ran the 100 metres in 11.36 seconds this year, a mere second and a half slower than Donovan Bailey’s record. Volpentest used prosthetic limbs made of carbon fibre, the same stuff used in Formula One cars. The Paralympics have gone high tech, and with excellent results. One would expect that with all the sporting and human interest elements, sponsors and networks would be clamouring to get their names involved in television coverage. Companies like 3M should be all over this event. For that matter, McDonald’s and other corporations could have run their standard inspirational ads. The reality is much different from the expectation. Few such ads were run with Paralympians in them. You might say that few Paralympians are known to the public, but corporations can eas-

ily, to pur it crudely, manufacture celebrities. Did anyone know who Joanne Malar was before the Olympics? No, but people knew her name tier those shampoo ads. A bigger barrier to media attention is that many Fople are still uncomfortable with disabled role models, and wherever there is ambivalence, corporations are rarely found. Even in Canada, a society far more accommodating to the disabled than, for instance, most European countries, we have had only a sporadic history of disabled heroes. Terry Fox led the way for Steve Fonyo and Rick Hansen, but the disabled hardly register in the national consciousness the rest of the time. It is unfortunate that the Paralympics did not get more attention. Media coverage could have helped to elevate awareness of challenges posed to and overcome by the disabled. A show of their abilities could only help; they are probably more easily accommodated than many think. A little more courage on the part of the population, corporations and the media could have done this with little trouble.

Twenty-two years ago, students organized the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) to provide them with a vehicle to inform, challenge, and take action on issues adversely affecting people and the environment. Today, students and community members are still drawn together through WPIRG in the belief that, together, we need to continue to work towards a just, ecologically-sustainable, and democratic society. Lack of previous organizational experience is no barrier. Through WPIRG, you can share ideas with others, develop important and useful skills, and gain the practical experience you need to be effective in working in the interest of your community. Attend our WPIRG Volunteer Meeting, Tuesday, September 17th, at 12 noon, in the SLC mu&purpose room.

The meeting will begin with the update on Temagami.

John Todd builds LivingMachines. As the name suggests, Living Machines are structures comprised largely of living organisms brought together to perform a particular type of work. They are engineered with the same design principals that nature uses to build and regulate its great ecologies in forests, lakes, prairies and estuaries. Living Machines can be used to produce food and fuels, treat wastes, purifSI air, and regulate climates within buildings. Cuntinentul Cmference ma Sod Ecology, September 20, 21, & 22, G-uelpb.

Social ecology integrates the study of human and natural ecosystems through understanding the inter-relationships of culture and nature. It advances a critical, holistic world view that creative human enterprise can construct an alternative future, rcharmonizing people’s relationships to the natural world by reharmonizing their relationship to each other.

What is revolutionary about fighting incinerators, toxic waste dumps, or deforestation? Within each particular ecological injustice lies the seed for revolutionary vision and action. In this presentation, Chaia Heller explores how protesting particular ecological injustices can provide a forum to educate ourselves and each other about the need for wider social and political change. Heller’s presentation promises to provide much inspiration and use&l information about how we can effectively move from a current situation of political pow erlessnessto a movement in which we become politically empowered to create social as well as ecological justice. Chaia Heller is a writer and educator who has been active in ecological and feminist movements for over fllfteen years. She has been a core member of the faculty at: the Institute for Social Ecology in Plainsfield, Vermont since 1985.

New Applications

hat is needed is a fbndamental technological revolution that will integrate advanced societies with the natural world to the mutual benefit qf both. Pollution, atmospheric alteration, and the loss of soils and biotic diversity are artifacts of technological cultures estranged from the great natural systems of the planet. Modern cultures exploit the natural world and in so doing threaten their own long-term viability. It is essential that we create a truly symbiotic relationship with nature. This relationship will be predicated on new, highly evolved technologies I call LivingMachines.” - John Todd: Ecological Engineering Bokskogen, Sweden 1991

In 1481, John Todd and Nancy Jack Todd founded Ocean Arks International @AI), a non-profit global center for water awareness and action. OAT’s work revolves around the use of ecological knowledge to solve water pollution problems. TheTodds believe that&&e emerging field of ecological engineering will become the predominant technological design approach that will give society the necessaw sustainabilitv to meet its neids in the coming century,‘and that non-polluting, innovative Living Machine technologies are the sustainable alternative to conventional technologies. John Todd will be visiting the University of Waterloo on Thursday, September 19,7: 30 pm, Davis Centre room 135 1, to talk about this technological revolution.

To date, the majority of the Todd? work has been with Living IMachines for purifying a variety of wastestreams including industrial and domestic sewage and septage, food process wastes, and the chemicaliy- laden sewage front boat holding tanks. In all cases,the Living &chines have been able not only to degrade nutrients, but also

to sequester heavy metAs and breakdown various organic compounds. Through continual monitoring and water chemistry, OAI has accrued performance data demonstrating that the technology can consistently achieve high qualiT effluent; higher, in fact, than the secondary level of treatment required by law and produced by most conventional wastewater treatment facilities, This has been accomplished without using hazardous chemicals and without producing significant volumes OS sludge. Research has focused on removing toxins from the waste stream, the fate of heavy metals, nitrogen compounds (including ammonium), and nitrates. Among &II’s many accomplishments: A Living Machine was constructed at the The Body Shop’s Toronto factory in for treat&g cosmetic wastes while actually “closing the cycle” by employing the plants used for making cosmetics in the actual treatment process. In Frederick, Maryland, a Living Machine project funded by the US. EPA is purifying domestic sewage. A LivingMachine project in Marion,

Along with these working demonstrations, research continues with new experiments, applications, and designs. Judging from the results of two 90-day bench tests OAI conducted last year, it appears that Living Machines can degrade even such highly toxic compounds as poly aromatic hydrocarbons, Among several other designs slated for implementation, OAI has developed a fowcost, material-light, portable waste purification Living Machine for use in developing countries. There are also plans to build a prototype system for the degradation ofsuperfund site wastes, and to run a Living Machine project to document the system’s ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. OAI has developed a proposal to build a large Living Maehine for urban food production in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is hoped that this urban farm, designed to cover an entire city block (5.5 acres), will have a revitalizing effect on the inner city. Floating

Restorer 1 houses a variety of biological materials and many distinct groups of organisms from bacteria to fish. Its photosynthetically-based design is dependent on wind power, foodchains, and ( living populations. Its tasks are to reduce nutrient loading, sediment depth, macrophyte growth and toxins in the water, while increasing over-all biological diversity.

OAI has also launched i new Classroom Living Machines Project with tk installation of five in-class systems in Chattanooga, Tennessee schools. Students learn by w&king with a living ecosystem that mirrors the complex interrelationships in the larger, global ecosystem of the world outside. Students are responsible for estabiishing and maintaining the system. They grow fish, animals, and plants, while exploring their feeding and breeding. Through experimentati&, they are ible to see the effects ofvarious pollutants and additions to the system. In the elementary grades, a lesson may involve taking simple measurements of the system, including water volumes, fish weights and populations. Senior level studies are much more complex, involving water chemistry, plant and animal tissue analysis, soil biology, and species identification.

A long-term goal of ON’s has been to establish a national Centre for the ecological design arts to train individuals to heal damaged eco-systems; rebuild local ecologies; find ways to reduce the human “footprint on the Planet”: and weave ecological intelligence into educational programs at all levels. After over eighteen years of preparation, experimentation, and planning, the centre will actually take the form of a new class of ship (as in boat). This first vessel will be used to support environmenta! restoration and economic development projects around the world. On board will be a highly evolved tool box holding technical resoura for the invention, design, fabrication and repair of technologies- adapted to placespecific solutions. The vessel will carry an international faculty of world-class teachers who will work directly with students and professionals. Ecological design and engineering experk will be applied to problems of food culture, energy generation, waste treatment, agro-forestry, fiber production, aquaculture, ocean farming, transportation, shelter, and whole-svstems integration.

e stood up tall, he won them all, and he did it his way. Warrior football head coach Dave “TufYQ” Knight rewrote the CLAU record book on Saturday, winning his 138th career gaxne to become the all time winningest football coach in CIAU history. The record was previously held by Bruce Coulter, who coached at Bishop’s and McGill. On a rainy, windy day that was perfect for Tuf$ Knight’s ground-attack football, the Warriors destroyed the Windsor Lanc. ers 33 - 1 in front of a few hundred soggy, but hardcore, football fans. Waterloo dominated from beginning to end, amassing 422 total yards on the day, 350 of which came on the ground. Quarterback Ryan Wilkinson led the attack completing 3 of 8 passes for 36 yards while running for 111 yards on 12 carries. Running back Jarrett Smith ran roughshod over Windsor for 180 vards on 24 carries with two touchdowns. Kicker Arek Bigos kicked three field goals and one rouge. While Waterloo’s offence was basically running at will, the defence was an impenetrable wall of black and gold steel. The Warrior defence held the Lancers to a paltry 104 total yards. Windsor’s only point came on a missed field goal for a rouge and only with the help of two silly Warrior penalties on a Lancer punt that extended the drive. The Lancers were held to eight first downs for the day, three of which came on penalties, compared to Waterloo’s 23. With the score 4- I for Waterloo on a Bigos field goal and traded rouges afier one quarter, Wilkinson hit Rick Shea with a 36yard strike at 3:48 of the second quarter. That set up a Smith three-yard touchdown run to put Waterloo up 1 l- 1. Later, with 2:35 to go in the

With I:34 Iefi to go in the third, Smith found a hole and turned on the jets for a 50-yard run to Windsor’s two yardpline.

officially classified as varsity and thus are providing their own tiding to operate this season. There is optimism that if the team can prove itself viable, they could receive varsity status within a few years. In the first game on Tuesday, pitcher Mat-t Lindsay was dominating Guelph until he was hit by a pitch and eventually had to come out of the game afier three innings with a 3-O lead. In that time he allowed no runs on two hits with six strikeouts. Waterloo and Guelph traded runs in the fourth to make it 4-1 Warriors. Waterloo shortstop DanMurraycrushed a home run down the right field line for Waterloo’s fourth run. Warrior football punter Matt Armstrong took over the pitching duties and was solid until experiencing control problems, aliowing f&e walks,-in the sixth when&elph tied things up at 44. Armstrong allowed only three earned runs on four hits with four strikeouts in two and two thirds innings of work. The Warrior bats that were out in full force early couldn’t

muster up any more runs as Guelph scored three runs in the top of the seventh off of losing pitcher Dan Hope to complete the scoring. Hope went one inning, allowing three runs on three hits with one strikeout. Matt Picoli was the winning pitcher for Guelph, working two innings while allowing no runs on one hit. Matt Vrooman pitched a l-2-3 seventh for the save. Warrior coach J.l? Soucie was looking for the team to learn a lot from the first game and apply it in the nightcap. The game siarted out well, but turned ugly Iate. Steve Penner started on the hill for the Warriors and pitched effectively for five innings. Howcvcr, errors didn’t help his cause as he .allowed four runs, none of them earned, on three hits with four strikeouts. The Warrior bats, however, were back and Penner left the game with an 8-4 lead after five, thanks to a wild starting Guelph pitcher and a four-run fifih inning sparked by back-toback triples from JeE Sommer and Armstrong. Things started to unravel in

Guelph scored three runs in the top of the inning off of reliever Troy Brady to close the gap to 8-7, Brady pitched twothirds of an inning, allowing three runs, two of which were earned, ofioftwo hits with two strikeouts.

CIAU’s Shula “I’m never satisfied.”

by Kimberly Moser Imprint staff 11Saturday, Warrior f’ootball head coach Dave “Tufv’ Knight set a new standard for coaches as he collected his 138th career victory, becoming the All-Time winningest coach in CIAU histoy.I And, on a day in which he could have basked in his own glory, Knight chose instead to talk about the Warriors’ first victory. Saturday’s 33-1 romp over the Windsor Lancers was the first Opening day win for Waterloo in almost a de&de. “For the first game of the season,” said Knight, “that’s probably the best game we’ve pla!xzd since I’ve been here at Waterloo. I was reall\r proud and pleased at how \ve p&ed .” As f-or tl& record, Knight prcf&s to leave it to the history books. “One hundred-thirtv eight, it’s a nice thing, but I ne&r reall)

gave it a whole lot of thought. I think it’s something you lcwk back on once you’re out of the business and out ofcoaching, but it’s a goal you’re glad you accomplished.” With his 138th victory under his belt, Knight is already working hard to secure his 134th. “I always want more,” said Knight as his team prepared for its match-up in Guelph tomorrow. “If you say, well, you won 138 games, what else can you reach, I’ll say let’s reach 148, let’s win the national championship and the Yates Cup. And if you say you won the national championship, I’ll say, let’s win it twice, I’m never satisfied. I want to keep working and developing new kids. As soon as \rou become satisfied, you becorn; complacent and there is no f& then. “I’m the type of person who thi&s rhat the football program is important and I want to do the job vev professionally. I want to do it right. My belief is that if you’re not going to do something

right, then you shouldn’t do it at all. I think there are times where people do things hap-hazardly and thatrs not the way I operate. That’s not the way I run a program. You do it first-class and treat your kids fairly and with respect and try to give them the very best that you can possibly give them. I want the kids to think they have not been cheated and they have been given the bcst we can possibly give them. If they’re getting the best, then they give you their best and that’s how you have a succcss~ program .” Knight should know. Before joining Waterloo, he helped bring Laurier’s football progr,am from the depths of despair to the Yates Cup championship. Prior to his work in Canada, the native West Virginian won two high schoc>l championships and was named Coach of the Year. Aside from holding the CIAU’s All-Time Career wins record, Knight is the onl\l three-time winner of the CIAU’s Coach ofthe Year ,ward.

on three hits and six walks over one-third of an inning. Leading hitters for the Warriors in the doubleheader were : Murray with a home run, a single, and three stolen bases; Sommer with a triple and a single; Vinh Lam with two singles and two stolen bases; Mike Lane with two singles; Armstrong with

a triple; Hope with a double; and Chris “Gibby” Gibbons, Aaron Chu, Fred Hazelton, Kaidanek, and Eddie Langevin with a single each. While the final results were disappointing, Waterloo showed true grit in their comeback effort in game n;yo. The Warriors have some solid pitching and good hitting and have a lot of potential to be a serious contender. This is

definitely not your typical cxpmsion team. The Warriors are in action again tonight with a doubleheader against Laurier at 6 p.m. at Bechtel Park. Bcchtel Park is located on Bridge Street. Take University Avenue past Highway 86 (the expressway) to the first set of lights, turn right and look for the sien about 100 metres down the r;d on the right.

his past week your Warrior Soccer Team returned to the Columbia Ice Fields to begin another season and did so in fine form. The team opened their pre-season with two games in Toronto against Glen Shields soccer. club and George Brown College. The Warriors were very satisfied with two ties and with the play of the rookies. The big test however wouid be a game against Humber Cotlege, the number one college in the nation. The Warriors showed everyone that what goes up, must come down with a decisive 1-O

However, the Warriors kept their composure and within five minutes the rookie connection of Dave Nutt and Phil Bosco saw Bosco tie the game at one. At the end of45 minutes, the Warriors were in great shape with a l-l tie. In the second half the armour of the Warriors started to crumble. fier missing many great scoring chances and with the presence of a hometown referee, the Warriors received two red cards (as opposed to Mac’s zero), a player in the hospital and a disappointing 4-l loss.

know the playoffs are just around the corner, but I only have one thing to sav about that; Go Expos! Meanwhile, I’ll give Jays fans one more thing to think about before this lousy excuse me, rebuilding - year draws to a close. Blue Jaymanager Cito C&ton takes a lot of abuse these days. He manages a losing toam and I guess that’s to be expected. And I would sure hate to be jumping on a bandwagon by second guessing him, but T can hold my” tongue no longer. What would vou do if you have a big strong kid who tore up the minor leagures and then went CMto hit in the 240s in the bigs in his rookie season? I know what I would do. I’d play him. A lot. I’d plan around him. I’d have his picture framed on my bedside tablo. I’d watchwhile 1~;wins rookie of the year. That’s Mlhat Cite has in Kobert Perez. But that’s not what he’s doing with him. Instead, he’s giving Perez a start here and there, and the occasional pinch-hit at bat. Hut he has not tiadc him a regular. And by signing Joe Carter ro another year, the Jays have made it clear that they do not see Perez as being ready for full-time duty. The usual reason they give is that Perez does not hit for enough power. What does it matter, they say, if he hits the ball all over the place, if he doesn’t hit it over the fence? But what if Perez hit .400? How good would hc have to get be&e he could bc forgiven for not hitting the long ball? Put another way, how do you balance the various aspects of hitting? The answer is this way: add On-Base Percentage to Slugging Percentage. Simple as that. That way you take into account power, average, and the ability to get on base via walks and so on. Compare Carter and Perez, though, and the results are surprising:

he recent CRTC specialty television license approvals were seen by sports fans as a Godsend. Among the new services are a 24-hour highlights and scores channel, a pay-per-view events channel and S3, a regional sports service from CIV. While the quantity of new sports channels is promising, the quality leaves something to be desired. Specifically of concern is S3, which beat out TSN Plus for the coveted regional service license. All things seemed to indicate that TSN had the better proposal. TSN has most of the resources in place already for a re-

Carter gets to play every day and Perez sees only limited action, I’m not suggesting that Perez will someday be a better hitter than Carter; I’m suggesting that he’s a better hitter right now, The argument may be made that regardless of the numbers, an outfielder has to hit home runs. But why should this be the case? The Jays have plenty of home run hitters even if we leave Carter out of the equation: Sprague, Delgado, Green, Olerud. What they don’t have, at least in the regular order, are guys who get a ton of hits, guys who get on base. Guys like Robert Perez. Hespeler

gional service with separate units in strategic locations across the country.-TSN also provides far better coverage of events than CTV and I’d take any TSN host over Rod 3lack any day. QuaLitywise, this was a bad decision. Also ofconcern is the number of regions proposed by the two. TSN proposed an eastern and a western service while S3 has four separate regions planned: B.C., the Prairies, Ontario, and Quebec/Maritimes. While S3 has the better idea & themy,I’m skeptical about how well a relatively small country like Canada in terms of population can support four sepaNt MJ6

rate regions. While there is plenty of programming to go around, the same cannot be said for viewers and dollars. Ontario and possibly Quebec/Maritimes could support their own region, but it remains to be seen whether B.C. and the Prairies can do the same. Did the CRTC make the right choice? I don’t believe so, but I hope 53 proves me wrong. I just pray that the decision came down to a better proposal by CTV, and not the fact that TSN has more foreign ownership (Labatt/ Interbrew and ESPN), which would be a typically over-protectionist CRTC way of reasoning.

30,000 worlds Neil Youn & Cr+zy Horse, 8 asis, Gm Blossoms, Jewel S iritualized and creamin Trees s!? Molson Pm-$, Burrie August 31,1996 by Greg Picken Imprint stafF

ometimes, when I hear a rcaliy good song, I start nod ding my head, like I’m saying “Yes, yes, this rocks!” And sometimes I shake it up, like I’m saying “No, no, don’t stop a’rockin!” On September 1, I had a very sore neck. This was a concert I was both looking forward to and dreading. Looking forward because it was my opportunity to see Oasis live with more than thirty thousand other fans, dreading because it marked the end of summer. This show marked the end of a record season for festival-type shows with Lollapalooza, EDENfest, Edgefest, Alanis and Oasis/Neil Young all making their best grab for my money. Though I didn’t pay for this show, I’d have to say I got somebody’s money’s worth, though there was certainly room for improvement. Screaming Trees were not at all interesting. They have a big song on The Edge, they were on Lollapalooza, but after seeing them live, I can’t figure out why. They’re just another cookie-cuttt’r post-grunge alternative

riff n’pose waste of time. And nothing more. Af& that, things got a whole lot better. The next two acts to take the stage were Spiritualized and Jewel. I knew very little about either going into this show, but was pleasantly surprised by both. Spiritualized seemed very out of place on the huge stage. My first instinct, almost right after their first chords, were that they shouldn? have been up there, This is no comment on their music, which was beautifUy hypnotic, but they seemed a better fit for a much smaller venue such as Lee’s Palace or the Opera House. Hell, the Bombshelter would have been a better venue. Adding to that, their sound lulled the crowd into something of a trance, a let-down considering Screaming Trees at least got people up on their feet and moving, and they made no attempt to communicate with the audience. Then again, in Spiritualized’s favour, you can’t make too much of an argument for passing up a performance before a crowd of thirty thousand people. As I mentioned, I knew very little about Jewel before this show, but I was impressed with her the most out of all the acts. She was absolutely dwarfed by the huge Molson Park stage and as could be expected, showed more than a touch of nervousness. As her set wore on, she became more at ease, working with the crowd and really finding her niche. Above all, she took the

irtdividual

got

time to talk between every song, a trait that was lacking in the preceding bands. So between her banter and songs like “Race Car Driver” and ‘Who Will Save Your Soul?” it was hard not to fall in love with the ladv from Alaska. Next up, thi Gin Blossoms+ If you like the Gin Blossoms, then I would assume they were fairly good. If you don’t like the Gii Blossoms, you probably wouldn’t really have liked their live act. Most of the audience seemed to like them, because the gravel really started flying in the pit. They played their hit song, you know, the one they seem to repackage every few months as a new song? Reminds me ofAerosmith’s Alicia Silverstone phase, Anyway, I’m not a big Gin Blossoms fan (though I must admit, their songs are fa too catchy), but if you were a fan, it sounds as though you would have enjoyed yourself. Next on the bill was the band that I think almost everyone was there to see, the cheeky lads from Manchester, Oasis. Walking out on stage to deafening applause, Noel’s first words to the adoring crowd were “Show some appreciation for the best fUckin9: band in the world.” That pret&much says it ali right there. Leading into the weekend show, no one was sure if Liarn wouldactually be joiningthe band, as he had not boarded the band’s flight earlier in the week, claiming to have to house hunt. However, he missed only one show, and was every bit the Liarn we expected. He swaggered around the stage, he encouraged the audience to pelt him with plastic bottles, he mumbled incoherently quite ofien, stared at a bra someone in the audience threw at him and even sang a song or two. Nothing out of the ordinary. Their set was fairly standard, starting off with a selection of hits covering both Def?nitely Maybe and (IV&at3 the Stay) Morning Glmy, including “Cigarettes and Alcohol,” ” What’s the Story Morning Glory” and 2upersonic.”

solo on ‘Whatever,” “Octopus’ Garden” (A Beatles’ cover? Imagine that!) and “Wonderwall.” The other four band members reappeared for an encore of sorts, and they closed out the show with “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and the traditional closing song “1 am The Walrus.” As soon asOasis left the stage andthe lights came backup, many

didn’t disappoint. Although, there is one small complaint I would register. Neil and the Crazy Horse boys managed to incorporate at least ten minutes worth of solos (rising up into fifteen minutes or more it seemed at some points) into every song, such that by the time three songs elapsed and the photographers pit emptied, more than 45 minutes had elapsed! 45

about chanting in groups and pairing up for later. Treated properly, it’s the cathartic experience of the week, and, while the neophyte concert goers will dance to just about anything, bands like Spirit of the West have their September schedules booked solid year after year. They’re Canadian, but everyone’s heard of them. They have the approval of everyone from the frats to the celts. You can dance to them, and more importantly, you can drink to them. The Hell Billies open. HaKway through, I overhear someone ask, ‘Didn’t they play this song already?“Thus far, I’ve been lucky enough to have only seen the Hell Billies twice. The next time I see them, I’m going to get onstage and beat the lead singer over the head with his accordion. Too much accordion is a bad thing. A really bad thing. A really, really, bad thing. MercifUy, Spirit of the West came on quickly and played for over an hour. And, as always, they put on a show worthy of their

he first week of September, Spirit of the West played Federation Hall to a near-capaciry crowd of mainly first-year students. I was up front. I was frosh. That was 1995. Last week, they did it again. I’m second year. I have nearly eighty concerts under my byline, and I’m slightly deaf in the right ear (don’t forget the earplugs, kids - soundguys insist on believing that louder is better). I stood in the back, watching the fresh froth. As it was for me twelve months ago, so will it be for many of those that night: their first bar show. For many it will be their last; the fresh week concert isn’t about music appreciation - it’s about being pumped up on testosterone and substances more ethylated,

reputation, flailing and highstepping and headbanging on stage and genuinely manin8 it, not just plugging into the rock star schtick. Lead singer John Mann sips red wine, holding the stem iike he’s entertaining the Queen and not a group of drunken young adults trying to tear the clothes off anybody too close to the front of the stage. Drummer Vince, on the other hand, provides the grand finale ofchugging a brew in under six seconds. “‘This is a song about drinking!” Mann shouts, and everyone leaps up and down in place (Spirit of the West, in a brilliant move that other bands would be well advised to follow, have banned moshing). “This is a song about euthanasia !” Mann shouts, and everyone leaps up and down. Maybe later they’ll buy the album and read the lyrics, but for now drums, guitar, and flute are all they can absorb. The set list is remarkably like last year’s, with nothing from their latest Open Heati Symphony release; Fed Hall may claim to be the biggest student bar in the universe, but it still can’t accomodate a symphoq orchestra. Yave this House” and “Home for a Rest” come as a double shot right at the end, and even the less energetic fringes of the crowd (indeed, even the more concert-weary Imprint reviewer hacks) leave their seats and leap up and down for a final salute to the evening. Two slower numbers for an encore, and sweatsoaked students stagger in line to pick up their Watcards. It’s only fair to warn them that things will never again be quite as good. But sometimes, you can go back.

He’s Where It’s At! Beck w/Cibo Matto Conceti HUD Wednesday August IO by Scott Preston special to Imprint

n town for a sold out show at my new personal favourite concert venue, the Concert Hall, Beck rapped, rocked and danced through a solid hour and a half set. Opening the night were the New York city’duo Cibo Matto. They had a really big name in Sean Lennon on bass,yet nobody seemed to notice. He really didn’t contribute that much, since all of

the beats were synthesized way. The fL.nkier hip-hop

anybeats

provided some intcrcsting songs, but any one of the slower songs could have been mistaken for a Whitnay Houston ballad. By the end of their hour set,

most had become bored, and were more htercsted in blowing smoke rings than in the band. I really wish I had learned how to smoke in high school. From the opening number, “Devil’s Haircut,” Beck grabbed the audience’s attention and never let go. Sampling heavily from his latest release, O&&y, Beck included two distinct parts to his show, a solo acoustic and harmonica part, and backed by a four piece band consisting of a guitarist, bassist, drummer, and ke yboardist . I’ve got one word to describe Beck’s instrumental offerings: percussion. I saw at least 10 different percussion instruments, accompanied by sampled snippets as well. This allowed him to recreate his distinct sowIds perfectly, without having to relyr heavily on sampling. Beck’s hold over the crowd was most apparent during his

acoustic set when he took out his harmonica and belted out the title track from his previous album, Onefoot in the G&UK Not one pair of hands in the crowd were still as they clapped along, providing a .steady backbeat . . to the sear;lg harmomca sounds. A big surprise came after the fourth song, as the familiar slide guitar intro to his smash-hit “Loser” was heard, and the crowd

so on this niiht we were lucky to hear it. Other standouts included ‘cBeercan,” with an extended organ part at the end, and the set closer “High 5.” I really didn’t even like this song before

the con-

cert, but afier the concert, my home stereo just can’t do it justice. A great show from a great performer who k’t af!raid to do the robot in public.

New, Improved & Heroin-free Keky

Deal 6000 w/Locd

Rabbits

Volcano Saturday, September 7 by Greg Krafizhick Imprint staff

alk about change! Think about it - 0nIy five or so years ago Kelley Deal was a computer programmer in Dayton, Ohio, whiIe taking lots of drugs in her spare time. Through ‘93 and ’94she became a rock star in a hot band (the Breeders) toured with Lollapalooza.. .and of course took e\len more drugs in her spare time, culminating in her 1995 arrest for heroin possession and the subsequent intervention of her family to get her into rehab. The S”ti interview with her twin Kim said it all: “Kelley doesn’t have a life anymore. She has heroin .” But look at her now! Her eyes were bright, she was jovial, joking with the medium-sized crowd. More importantly though, the music was the biggest revelation of the night. The perenial criticism of Kelley’s work in the Breeders was her lack of playing ability, primarily her lack of guitar playing experience (less than two years, I believe, when the group did Lolla). Somewhere in the interim, however, not only has Kelley learned to play, but

she’s also turned into quite an impressive songwriter in her own right. She has a new album out on her own label Nice Records, called Gu tu the Sqpw Ahar, and one assumes that most of the material at the show was from this release - all of it was new to this reviewer. It retrospect I wish I had bought the album at the show. Completeiy unexpectecily, she has taken the already wide range of tempos m Lmt Sprash and made them even more diverse and interesting. Various songs included- trumpet blasts, some smooth 70% organ with warm brimming vocals to match, and even a kid’s xylophone on a song apparently called “I Want to Be a Stripper” (though Kelley pointedly [. said she was kidding afterward) s There was even a dark, brooding blues song that would be comfortabie on the TN& P&Y soundtrack. To be sure, there were large chunks of guitar rock, but even these were varied in style and approach, 1 from the sm&th and ho&-laden (one recalling Last Splash’s “Hag”) to the powerful and unsettling, paticularly one

track that featured chaotic drumming and primal screams from Kelley. That’s a pretty dizzying array of music, and admittedly Kelley and her band are not masters at any, of the stvles ,

they tried (chords went astray at more than one point). But it’s the sense of adventure and simple ioie &

tiwe that made this performance a purely entertaining one from start to finish. With their final song, a fun and spontaneous version of Abba’s bcSOS” pefiormed with the Local Rabbits. KeUev Deal lefi no doubt that she has deft&stepped out of her sister’s shadow,’ kd established herselfas a musician to be respected, if not admired. And you can’t help but be happy for her. Look out for more Nice Records releases (like the Frogs new album, delayid until FebGary while their keyboardist finishes off the Smashing Pumpkins tour).

Montreal’s Local Rabbits opened, and though the teenage throng for the band were more than enthusiastic for this murderecords act, this reviewer fdund them occasionally passable but mostly cringe-inducing. That rock star posing! The crappy rifEs! The lame betweensong banter! The worst white boy version ever of ‘&Hey Bo Diddlev”. The band act&v took it&G+! And ofcours; that rhythm guitarist’s FUCm-G ANN6YING f% setto!! ! Someone should form a band called the Local Beagles and hunt those bovs down.

irst things first, Truinsputtin. is a marvellous movie, but it’s doubti it will hcip to boost the Scottish tourism industry. Then again that’s okay, for the Scats aren’t worth seeing according to the movie’s anti-hero, Mark Renton, played by Ewan McGregor who mid-movie passionately proclaims that to be Scottish is to be “the lowest of the low.. . fit only to be colonized by English wankcrs.” Based on the bestselling underground novel of the same name by author Irvine Welsh, this tone of defeat and anger revealed in Renton’s speech runs through the mderbclly of 73-&m-potting, fuelling the actions of the movies main characters, four of whom lose themselves in the putridly stagnant world of the Edinburgh heroin scene. Many critics have condemned the movie for glamorizing the USCof the drug yet nothing could be further from the truth. Though heroin remains the main pastime of the four Scottish friends, its prime tiction is to lead us through both the movie’s funniest and most horrific scenes, two elements that are in abundance in Tfzimpo

ttin..

Unlike such movies

side of...Heroin

Diati~s, Tminsphyis not a pseudo-documentary consumed with detailing the downward spiral of drug abuse; instead, it concentrates on the adventures and interactions between six very different characters. Though almost all the character’s actions and reactions revolve around the drug, it is the comedic and dramatic moments which eclipse the heroin theme, leaving us remembering the movie not for its social commentary but instead for its rendering of the characters. In the movie’s darkest moments when drug related casualties begin to rise, the scenesavoid melodrama and social messages choosing instead to view the carnage through the calloused and remorseless eyes of the characters. Heroin abuse itself is dealt with maturely as all facets of the addiction are shown. From the super high one receives (According to Renton, its better than any orgasm times a thousand, and then you’re still nowhere near it) to the emotional and physical repercussions of abuse which is portaryed with chilling realism. Still, what remains a poweti drawing card for this movie are the superbly acted interactions between Trhzsph@.c band of thick accented misfits. The majority of the movie is narrated by Mark Renton, who was last seen in Shallow Crave, which was both produced and written for the screen by the same film makers. Renton is the smartest of the six friends and the one who you know is either destined for more or will go the extra len@ to tick over his

friends. McGregor inhabits the body and soul of his main character superbly, leaving a solid character that serves as a pecfect balance for the remaining characters to play off. The rest consist of Sick Boy, played by Jenny Lee Miller, a ladies man With a knowledge of Sean &nnery equally as long as his habit. Spud is the character you feel sorry for the most, for he’s the kindest, yet receives the worst abuse from a short prison term, to mistakenly spraying his girlfriend and her parents with his own shit (shit is a source of much humour in this movie and has to be seen to be understood) . The most controversial character is Begbie, the psychopath of the group who routinely “does people,” instead of heroin. This character is perhaps the most comic in that his temper and ego are unmatched by any of the other characters; he is also the least likable for he is the perpetrator of the worst crimes and remains the least remorseful of the bunch. The last two characters are Tommy, the naive victim and Diane, Renton’s somewhat love interest. There is not one weak character in Trainspotting, either main or supporting. It seems that every character, regardless of screen time, turns in a memorable performance, enhancing whichever scene he or she occupies. What perhaps will increase the appeal for this movie is the combination of authentic accent and slang. Unfortunately

while watching the movie it became painmy obvious that various jokes went unheard due to the cinema not providing interpreters. But ifyou concentrate enough not only can the subtlety of the Scottish hurnour be understood, but also you may become aware that the movie shifts from just entertainment to a cuIture lesson. The cultural authenticity of the writing allows us a glimpse into not only a tiny segment of the Scottish culture and psyche but also into the unfamiliar (for most of us) world of heroin abuse. The characters remain individuals failing to play on bullshit Scottish stereotypes, they &Ow us to be privy to a sense of humour that single handedly beats the juice out of most Hollywood comedies. I for one can’t wait for their next movie,which II hear is about a Scot emigrating to New York. Sounds hilarious already, I only wonder if he’ll get hooked on crack.

IMPRINT,

T.S. Eliot would be proud impossibly easy. The lighting. What appeared to merely be a large junkyard mned into a visually stunning display of lighting as the show began. With multi-coloured lights and several strobes in the junkyard set mixed with lights in the curtain backdrop, a truly impressive scene was created. Add in the house lights and the enormous strings of Christmas lights strung up the sides of the theatrc and you’ve got a memorable spcctaclc. Dazzling is the only appropriate word. The singing. Great. These people are truly talented. I mean, I heard no mistakes, and these people don’t get to do another take if they screw it up. Doug Eskew was great as Old Deuteronomy, but the singing star ofthe show was, as is to lx expected, Grizabeila. Played by Jcri Sager, Grizabclla has the privilege ofsinging Memory, the big hit, the one evcrpnc knows (whcthor they know it or not), the one cvcryonc ieaves humming. And she does a hell of a job. Parts ofMemorv arc act-uallv sung a few times tht&ughout thk show (with diKcrent lyrics), and not always by Grizabclla. But the time that you will not forget is the final one, “big Memory” as Sager called it in an interview with Imprint recently (seeImprint, Aug. 30, 1996). Sung quietly previouslv in the show, Sager rocks the aidience back the last time she sings it. It

The Cats leapt and ddnccd across the stage and climbed on the set: a junkyard cnlargcd to make the Cats appear appropriately sized. Undoubtedly the most impressivc dancer was Kaldy Andre Davis in the role of Mr. Mistoffelees. Spinning around a dozen times & so on one leg before wowwing tlx crowd by repeatedly touching his toes as he did the splits in mid-air, Davis made the almost-impossible look

except it sounds fantastic. Truly powehl. I still can’t get the damn tune out of my head. I can’t begin to imagine the years of training that must have gone into producing such a voice. Of course, you can’t properly review a music without mentioning the music, so I will. Andrew Lloyd Webber is, quite frankly, overrated. The music was, for the most part, ok at best. “Memory” is a great song, there is no question of that, but most other songs

Limited

were simplistic and forgettable. Knowing a little about song writing, Webber used standard chord progressions and just threw in Eliot’s words as lyrics. The strength of the show lay in the other elements, not the music. Anyway, ail in all, I really enjoyed the show. It was my first musical and I sincerely hope it is not my last. Incredible performances mixed with a great set and dazzling lighting, I was truly impressed.

Waterloo Concert Band begins new season by Cameron McBain special to Imprint

f you play a wind, brass or percussion instrument, we’d like to tell you where to go (especially if you’re our roommate. Okay. Only kidding!). Seriously, even though we no long have the UW band, there is a local, community band that is looking for more players, particularly if you play a wind instrument. It is Waterloo Concert Band and, according to the band’s director, Cameron McBain, this band offers a great place to play for university students and adults of all ages and all ability levels (beyond beginner, of course). “Waterloo Concert Band has a long, proud history that goes back over 100 years,” McBain says. “We are now looking forward to the next millennium with energy and musical vitality that reflects our commitment to provide quality music for the community. Students at UW are invited to btz a part of it !” Made up of 40 volunteer musicians on brass, percussion and woodwinds (sorry, no bagpipes), the Waterloo concert Band pcrforms an average of 20 concerts each year. This includes casual Music in the Park concerts in the summer and a winter four-con-

cert series. (Check out future issues of Imprint for news of upcoming concerts). “We have a wonderfully varied repertoire,” Cam McBain says, “including everything from the soundtrack music from&w WI&T to that PeeWee Herman special, Teguila and from light classical and swing to some real interest-

riday, September 6th saw the return of The Philosopher Kings to UW, only this time they played to a Fed Hall, that was jammed wall-towall with frosh. First, Gypsy Soul opened to a crowd that was hungry for ‘Charms”. Still, they put on an impressive show - -their music, being a blend of jazz and hip-hop, fit in nicely with that of The Philosopher Kings, making them a perfect opening act for this show. Made up of seven members (including a spirited horn section that was often muted out by the other band members), they were an energetic act. Particularly outstanding was the variety of i&-umerits - including a didgeridoo - that was used. On another note, it was hard

to tell if the crowd was in attendance because of the bands, or because it happened to be an event that was occurred during Frosh Week. Take, for cxample, the large mass of people who stormed the dance floor when the “Macarena” came on. Enough said. In any case,The Philosopher Kings didn’t disappoint. Mostly playing music from their selftitled debut album, they managed to put on an engaging performance.

But rising out of the ashes (wrong bird, but nevermind) of the first film comes City ofAqp.ds, a valiant sequel. Armed with the Wternative” artists currently in vogue, Tim Pope does what he does best, giving us a rock video turned into a movie - no plot, cool tunes and lots of violence. This time, Sara is all grown up and played by Mia Kirshner of Exutica fame.

The first 20 minutes, it must be said, are a bit sillv. They are just so damn pth.

The viUains, meanwhile, are hit and miss. lggy Pop is menacing, but only because he’s Igg\l Pop, so he’s pretty scary to begin with. The leader, on the other hand, is a lesson in what not to do when casting a movie. He cannot act, period. The rest are pretty good, but there are no equals to, for inst;lIlCe,T-Bird from the first movie. Similariy, the way the villains die sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. After all, if they didn’t die in really cool ways, why would we go see the movie? And some do. I won’t spoil it for you, since these parts of the movie are generally more important than the plot.

Farewell to the Kings Philosopher Kings the Imprint

by Gillian Dowries and Derek Dupuis

We’ve been touring for about years, right now. We left Canada about six months ago. I think our last Canadian to&was - shit, I’m the worst for show dates - probably, like, eight months ago. And then we’ve been touring the States extensively up until now. That could’ve kept going, but we’re sort of in a strange predicament - our aibum came out in Canada two years ago, when we wrote it, and it came out in the States about six months ago. So we went down there to support the album and the reception was really good. At some point we have to stop and say we have to record, because that one is about two years old. hv0

Do you ever just say: “Fz& just don ‘t wanna pZay YTham’

-I to-

n@bt?” Everyone asks that. But you know? It’s funny, but you don’t really get sick of the songs in that sense. You’re past being excited about it, but it sort of gets broken down to the audience, and then the given circumstances and stuff like that. And the one thing that’s always different is the audience, right? So, if you have a different audience every night, it’s sort of ahut the audience. It’s not really that much about the song. It’s not so much about you playing songs that you’ve played for two years. Yeah, so we had to stop touring. I mean, we were actually going to go over to Europe, because the record came out all over Europe and we felt that we shouid go over there and support it. We’ll be recording for eight months, probably.

I don’t think we’ve gotten

comfortable writing on the road, yet. We’ve written a few songs that way, but we sort of need to get off the r-ad, and &en get focused and then start it. I mean, what happens is when we’re on the road everyone gets ideas and stufF like that, you know. You have a whole bunch of ideas and concepts and things, but it’s only when you get off the road. That’s kinda why we needed that period to just stop. It seemed like it was never-ending. So it3 another

pmcess?

Yeah, what we’re imagining, I mean, this is really, really preliminary, like, we’re just at the very beginning, but I think we’ll probably have a record out by Spring, or, like April. It’s possible. My guess is that we actually work pretty quickly. The recording process doesn’t take us very long. YmfltiyspN on apreg intense sbuw. Dues the venue have much to du with yourpe$iimunce?

Yeah, the venue has a lot to do with it. And the crowd... But, our live show has always been our biggest strength, been sort of our focus. And that’s what we try to capture on our album, you know? I mean, that was our first try with this firrst album. And we’re sort of anxious to try it again. I mean, we’ve been together for three years, now, so we feel like we have a hand on it. We cbecked out your Web PaBe, and there was a qzutt? that desctibed The Pbilasopher IGn~s a.rTbe saund Seal and Shp(y Red, blending into The Brand Nav Heavies’.

I’m just at my wits end with all that shit. I’ve heard everything. VVhen you hear so much, it becomes nothing at all. So, I’ve given up. I remember at the beginning we were thinking one day someone’s just gonna coin a phrase and we’ll go: Yes, that’s it ! It’s never come, you know what I mean? What I’ve always aspired to are artists like U2, or artists like Madonna or Seal. You can say (their sound is) contemporary, and it’s

popular music. But you have no idea what that is. If you’re gonna be a fm of our band, you have to be a fan of us, not the genre. But 1 sympam with these guys, because it takes me twenty minutes to explain what the hell I’m talking about, and you gotta put it in one line, right?

The stti are aiways pleasant, (which is remarkable considering how many smashed people wander in there after a night at Phil’s) and the prices are reasonable. Warning: the “Super Stan” is a monster.

The only franchised ctie I’m going to mention, Williams is brand new and really nice. Good menu, good prices, and of course, lots of coffee. The plus side is it’s 24 hours, and evidently busy even at 4 a.m. The down side is that there are usually tons of high school students smoking like fiends.

Filthy Rotten Bastards by Klaus Steden Imprint Staff Jut when you though Ween couldn’t get any weird&, along comes 12 Golden Cmnhy Greatif. Yes, that’s right kids, the weirdos behind “Push th’ L’il Daisies” and ‘Voodoo Lady” have gone and recorded a COUNTRY album. I speak truthfully.. . a country aibum... with steel guitars.. . and banjos.. . and fiddles . . . and yeehas. Now, anyone who knows mc knows that I’m just SUCH a fan ofcountrymusic (gag! hack! bat-f’!) but surprisingly enough, this is actually a great &xxn. Honestly! I mean it, this is one hell of an album. Sure, it’s country, but that’s part of the beauty of it. I suppose the thing with countrv music is not to take it scriously; Ween is one of those bands you just can’t take seriouslv. The Ween boys write stuff that is just plain goofy, if not outright psychotic. So, the idea of them writing country music isn’t that dangerous a concept. In fact, if this album is anv kind of testament, they’re actualli rather good at it. I didn’t think there was such a thing as country music that didn’t suck, but this is proof that it does in fact exist. As far as content goes, despite being limited to the country genre, the album manages to cover all the country bases rather well.

by Greg Wchick Imprint staff Years from now, among those with little else to do, there will be an argument about Canadian mu&in the nineties: Who had ‘the most impact, the Tragically Hip or Sloan? Certainly as far as sales go, Gord and his band will outsell Sloan many, many times over before they’re done. Alternately, the fans who listen to the latter band tend to be active music participants - they buy a Iot of Abums, they go see shows, and, ultimately, form bands. Whereas there are legions of Hip fms that may buy one or two new albums a year. So as far as impacting Canadian music (and of course playing a pivotal role in highlighting the East Coast guitar rock scene), Sloan is the hand. This view was confirmed by the much balcyhoocd .zinc poll naming the srtatost <:ana-

dian album of all time, and while this may be going rather overboard, it at least reflects a very he&y respect for this band. -It’s become incumbent on eve:ry review or article written about Sloan of late to mention a certain Fab Four from Liverpool. Certainly that influence popped up on Twk l&moved, but One chord to AnotLw makes the jump from inspiration to imitation. Those who would criticize Oasis for musical thievery have no right to turn around and laud this album, because in one sense this is nothing but Sloan’s (What’s the Story) Mtirg Gb, albeit with a slight bit of Sloan’s traditional Pixies feel. This adds up to a satisfying album, though Twice Remwed is still a better work. If nothing else, Sloan have crafted two ofthe best radio singles of the year with “The Good in Evcryonc”

and the bour~y

“Eve-

rything You’ve Done Wrong,” the types of joyous songs that get you out of bed in the morning and may even make part of your day. Look past those however, and there’s-a slew of other possible hits here -- the Abhy Romf -Sike

“Anyone Who’s Anyone,” the quick riffng ‘G Turns to D,” even the touching beauty of “Junior Panthers” would be a refreshing single choice. Derivative yes, but Sloan ultimately succeed at this retro sound with both some fine production work (by the band apparently) and some undeniably fantastic songwriting. There’s plenty of bands in the world right now jumping on the Lennon/ McCartney bandwagon, but it still takes good songwriting to rise to the top of the heap, and Sloan are more than up to the challenge. Both of the band’s previous releases have had a substantial inpact on indie bands the nation over, and it will be quite interesting in the ensuing months to see if a crop of acts start listening to 60s bands and making music to match. This album is probably as far as the barId can go with this sound, and their next album (FF there is one) will probably require another change in sound, lest they start to parody themselves. Derivative, yes,. . but you’d have to be a hard-hearted bastard not to smile and dance along.

There are tear-jerky ballads, like “Help Me Scrape the Mucus off My Brain,” foot-stomping numbers lie the awesome “Piss Up a Rope,” and good-ale hoedown numbers like “Mister Richard Smoker” and “Japanese Cowbuy.” If you actually didn’t take the time to listen to the lyrics, you might be fooled into thinking this is an average country album. Nothing could be further from the truth. Witness this, from “‘Mister Richard Smoker” (which is about a dance-club boy, much like Frank Zappa’s “Dancing Fool”.) And I quote: “Mister Richard Smoker, you’re a chicken choker, tonight you’re going to let it all hang out”, or the chorus from “Piss Up A Rope”: “You can piss up a rope, and you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin’; pack your bags, I don’t need the agony your knees vou big booty bitch startsucking; ~YILI ride my&s like a horse in a saddle, now you’re up shit’s creek with a turd for a paddle, and I can’t cope, I’ll piss up a rope.” Not exactly the man in black, now is it? This is, of course, closer to a novelty than a proper album; I caution the jaded GenX music fan that this CD will likely get tedious very quickly (Just ask Sandy Atwal about that). However, if you’re a country fan, you might like this; if you’re a Wecn fan, you might think this a weird(er) offering, but something that’s still kinda cool. If you’re the average music fan, and you’re looking for a laugh, you just might like 12 Gulclen cmntry GTeats.

by Greg Ku&hick Imprint staff In 1994, Orbital released their third full-length album, entitled Sni~ihation. It took their once harsh and unrelenting sound to a whole new piatxau of innovation and sheer musical brilliance, firmly establishing them as one of techno music’s leading bands. 199% l%vzs Fby continued along this trajectory, their beats and melody lines reaching frightenly close to perfection. And, with the fLrther issue of In Sides lead-off single ‘The Box,” it seemed this band could do no wrong. Each of those issueshave been progressively more subtle and low key in their approach. Now, with In && we find a very different Orbital from the one even two years ago. No longer is this the easily danceable music of yesteryear. Instead their quest for more and more out there beat syncopations hzs resulted in something simply too out there to try and move to. It’s a much more claustrophobic and insular and, at times, too self-absorbed for its own good. It does succeed in the end, but not in the same blaze of glory that Sni~ilisatti did. Take the lead off track “The Girl With The Sun In Her Head” for instance. An arresting sound that resembles a heartbeat grounds a song that moves into a wonderful keyboard and free-form synth melange. But it’s mmed by its length; at twelve minutes plus it’s not so much that the song doesn’t know where it’s going, it’s more that it takes a much too scenic route to get there. And that hardly the effect the Hartnolls (who recorded this track using solar power) intended. ‘The Box” reappears in an abbreviated 12 minute form, and surprisingly it’s the single version, at a huge 27 minutes, that’s the superior of the two. The latter had Orbital’s first foray into lyrics, and they really added to this dark, j&z noir soundtrack of a

13, 1996

song. But the former disposes of them, and it’s loses quite a bit in a transition, though the opening of low chimey keyboards is more thawssatisfactory. They do approach their usual genius in other places though. Old pal Alison Goldfrapp is brought back for some haunting vocals on Vwr Bud? (‘“dirty water” in Welsh apparently) that strongly recall her work on Snti&ion’s “Sad But True.” Yet the treatment here is entirely different; fast, tight and high percussion make this track simultaneously fst and slow, leaving the listener predictably motionless. Meanwhile the band swing from chilling vocal and keyboard movements to more sinister and grating booms and thumps and bleeps. CcAdnan’s” has a watery, um, undercurrent, and a loping beat-with more creepy backdrops, and enough variation to make us wmt more. The last track, apparently the keynote piece, is called “Out There Somewhere?” and one could call it Orbital’s UFCM - an album that attempted to put a soundtrack to alien abduction. It’s also possibly the most ambitious thing th> Hartnoll brothers have ever attempted, coming the closest they ever have to a true composition in a symphonic sense. Through two parts and 27 minutes the song moves through many parts and many moods, though all of them linked together throughout - a drum beat here, a synth bit there. It’s a remarkable achievement, and at no time does it become tiresome, unlike the other marathon tracks on this record. Orbital make their fans work a little more this time around, and although Snzidimttin is still their most powerfLl work, the intense effort poured intoln Sties pays off in different ways that can be equally satisfying. Besides which, the Hart-n& are still quantum leaps away from their competition, arranging works of art with an attention to detail that makes them almost: peerless in music today. In Sides is yet&other chapter in what is fast becoming one of the most important bodies of work in music this decade.

What exacdy, you may ask, does a man ordained in the church of Satando? Well, in the case of the Reverend Marilvn Manson, he puts out records. Unfortunately, Marilyn seems to have been a little lax in his dark prayers lately, because this album is a fairly major disappointment. To start with, there is simply not a iot of music. Brief interludes of samples and fimny noises that pass as between-tracks filler on some albums count as real tracks here,at least as fz as the liner notes go. So, though it looks like you’re getting 15 tracks, it’s more like 3 actuaI tracks, with 4 remixes, 1 cover, and the rest is shit. Not to knock people having ti splicing and mixing bits and bites into something in-

Manson’s distorted vocals. It’s hard to tell if the drums are live or

grace; the Eurythmics cover “Sweetdreams (aremadeofthis).” Here, Manson and the rest (Twiggy Ramirez, Daisy Berkowitz and Madonna Wayne Gacy; yes, all have the first names of female models and the last names of murderers) have actually done something creative. Sure it’s a cover, but it’s radically different from the original, yet still a really good song. 1 gotta admit, the next timeIheartheEurythmics do it, I’m going to think of Marilyn Manson, and t&tit is the mark of a successfid cover.

IMPRINT,

Friday, September

by James Russell Imprint staff I’m not sure exactly how to classi@this album. Ambient death metal? Is that a genre? It is now. I want you to imagine all the integral elements of death metal; the distorted guitars, the pounding drums, and do not forget the barely discernible screamed lyrics. Now, play it at about a quarter of the usual speed.

by Hashish Mkhra special to Imprint One of the apparently bigger blockbusters of the summer was Mission: Impossible. No doubt many of us sheLled out five bucks to see Tom Cruise play the lead in this adaptation from the TV series. The not so good news was many of us also agreed the movie was a flop - more worth seeing at home with some friends and tasty nachos. Still undeterred, I went and bought the soundtrack the nexr day. This was more based on nostalgia of wanting to listen to the old Mission Impossible theme song than anything else. Turns out the original theme isn’t on the CD. So how good is the soundtrack? Not bad. It’s got a good selection of alternative songs mixed in with new versions of the lMission Impossible theme that mlde it fairly acceptable background music:. It does however, have some exceptional material that stands out from the regular blah.

13, 1996

Interesting, to say the least. Slowing it down gives the musicians a chance to really play with the sounds, and Neurosis does this exceflendy, twisting their guitar sounds around and around in a mesmerising fashion. They also take the time to really mess around with the drum patterns, and the rhythms coming out of the toms are complex at worst, hypnotizing at best. Neurosis also experiment with some piano parts, and “I% rify” has a particularly haunting bagpipe part. They’ve certainly put a lot of time and effort into this production.

New Revolutions However, there are some down sides to the album. My personal complaint is the vocals. Always screamed and distorted, the songs could have benefited from some of the variety that can be seen in many other aspects of the album. The lyrics are a little tired as well. All the stock death metal words are present in abundance. Things are “bleeding” or being “consumed,” there are plenty of references to “war” and “death,” “fire” and “grim fate.” Take the first three lines of “Aeon” for example. LcIllumination bleeds fire; Karmic well of deceit; blood will nourish.” I’m sorry, but this sort of thing leads me to think that these guys listened to just a I&& too much Black Sabbath asyoung children. For better or for worse, the songs are epics. The two spoken word tracks (though the lyrics are a little d8icult to make out and they+e not in the liner notes) total slightly over 3 minutes, leaving 7 tracks to make up about 65 more minutes of music. The title track ‘Through Silver in Blood” is over 12 minutes long, as is ??urify~ and two others break the 10 minute mark. Other than that, the songs are nice. No, I mean it. You can put this album on in the background and just sort of drift away like you are supposed to be able to with ambient stufF.Ifyou’ve been bashing your head to some serious metal and need to chill out, I’d recommend Neurosis.

with strong purposell remarks suggestive of Big Brother. The other artists on the CD include Massive Attack, Bjork, Skunk Anansie, Longpigs, and Salt. A track everyone will recognize is Dreams by the Cranberries much more mainstream. The orchestral themes are composed by Mullen and Clayton of U2 f;une (yesl), and Danny Elfman (Batman). I’m sure you’ve heard the new Mission Impossible theme song with the distinct U2 sound. It’s all right, if you haven’t heard at least once in the previous week. On the most part, the remaining orchestral tracks are like they are in many movies: boring. The surprising orchestral track is “Trouble” by Elfman which reminds me of dramatic Star Wars themes (John Wiiarns) andThe Planets (Hoist). It slips into a chaotic start and neatly organizes itselfover the course of the piece, pullmine, but you’re a clever swine - * ing you in briefly to get excited with the Mission Impossible endyou never let your mask slip, you never admit to it, you never wore ing.
