The Ontario government is also highly in favour of the ICLRS. However, the modeltheMinistryofEducationa.ndTraining has been using to evaluate the province’s potential for such a system has not been made available for public review. The feature that makes the ICLRS attractive to the Ontario government is &at such a system w&d be self-sustaining, and hence cheaper to administer. Foley counters that this is an economic impossibility, asabnormally high interest rates would have to be charged to high end income earners, and people expecting to f3.Uinto this category would avoid the loans. The future role of high technology in education will also be discussed in the FEDS’ submission to the government’s Advisory Panel, In particular, it will be recommended that technology be used to amalgamate or share services and resources between faculties and between universities. Foley expects to see an expansion of what is available to students through such an endeavour. In response to being asked how much weight she expects the FEDS written submission to the governments Advisory Panel to hold, Foley responded, “the weight of 15 000 students.”

tudents, faculty and stafFat McGill University demonstrated at McGill’s 175th opening celebrations last Friday, September 20. The demonstration was held to show their anger towards the administration’s plan for a new McGill. This plan, outlined in Principal Bernard Shapiro’s document, Toward a New McGill,” has already begun to be implemented since its unveiling last November. The plan focuses on downsizing andgeneratingrevenue by increasing tuition fees, implementing early retirement plans for fatuity and staff, and cutting courses, programs and Teaching Assistants. These measures are all part of a move to privatize McGill, a goal which was pursued in lobby sessions with Education Minister PaulineMarois last weekend. Erin Runions, VP-External Af&rs of the Post-Graduate Students Society (PGSS) commented that *Principal Shapiro has been very up front about the fact that he is

using the 175th celebration as an opportunity to ask Marois to deregulate tuition fees .” In an open letter to Pauline Marois from the McGill community, Runions calls attention to the fact of %eing ignored on our own campus.” She admonishes the administration for ignoring the demand for continued commitment to accessible education, lobbying Marois for deregulated tuition fees, ignoring McGill’s mandate for quality education, for cutting programs and services and for ignoring the plea for consultation, and rebing to hold an etuts&eweuux on the direction of McGill. Runions, along with the members of the McGill community, presented a list of suggestions to the Ministry of Education. The first recommendation would be to rearm traditional PQ commitments to high quality accessible education, This would be accomplished by initiating a study on the impact of tuition and other administrative fkes on accessibility, continuing tuition and firndine; ieve freezesand irnple-

meriting legislation maintaining current tuition fee levels. The second suggestion is to insist that the PQ seek ways to increase revenues, rather than cut social programs. This could be done by repealing Bill C-76 (the Canada Health and Social Transfer - responsible for cuts to social programs) restoring funding levels of transfer payments to the provinces, ending government grants and subsidies to profitable corporations as well as ensuring that Quebec’s tax system is progressive, collecting substantially higher amount from upper income brackets and profitable corporations. Students from around the city joined with the McGill students to show their support and to voice their concerns about tuition fees to Patie Marois. “Coalition partners all over the city are angry at the kind of educational system being pursued by the McGill administration; it wouidn’t take long for other university administrations to follow suite,” said Lauren Small, Chair of the Quebe&omponent of the Canadian Federation of Students.

Reform MP visits campus

The blackboard

jungle of the Reform Party. photo

by James Russell Imprint staff ast Tuesday, Reform M.P. Werner Schmidt (Okanagan Centre) visited campus. Invited to speak about how Andy why young people should become involved in politics, Schmidt addressed these topics and many others, taking questions on his presentation and party policy throughout Schmidt addressed the question of why people should become involved by telling the small audience to ask themselves one question. “Do I want to preserve the status QUO?” The c&rent state of Canadian government is, according to Schmidt, “power by an elire....a group of people who owe each other a lot.. .a group that is tied by tradition.” He illustrated the current government’s inability to act on the wishes of the people by pointing to Bill 216, a bill that was recently passed outlawing ‘<negative option billing,” despite efforts by the Liberal government and Sheila Copps in particular to have it defeated. (negative option billing is the practice of billing customers for a service unless they specifically refuse the service.) If you want change, there are three options, said Schmidt. You can look to one of the traditional parties, but “they’re going to guarantees that nothing is going to change,” stated Schmidt. You can attempt to effect change yourself, as an independent, or you can look at a new party. Schmidt offered the Reform Party as that new party, claiming that with a Reform government, “the voice of the people will be heard.” A kev part of the Reform platiorm Is holding national referenda on serious issues. In response to a question as to whether that was shirking the responsibilities of an elected official to make important decisions, Schmidt replied “one side of me says you’re absolutely right.” However, he assured the audience that this method (to be done in conjunction with federal elections) would only be used for

a very few issues, “in some areas which are highly personal,” such as abortion, euthanasia or the death penalty. Schmidt gave brief outlines of some areas of Reform policy that are not yet tilly developed, such as ME recall (giving the electorate the chance to essentially fire an M.P. in mid-term), and the method by which constitutional changes might be made, which Schmidt called “a very special issue,” and one where a minimum,, of political interference might be best. Schmidt also spoke about the debt and the deficit. Soon, said Schmidt, the interest payments on the debt will surpass the expenditures on social programs. This cannot be allowed to happen, and the difference cannot be made up with an additional tax revenue, he said, explaining that the average Canadian taxpayer already pays 5065% of their gross income in taxes. He also explained how taxation &ects the job market from the corporate point of view. “As you pay more and more money in tax&you have less money to hire people.” Like the Republican Party in the U.S.A., the Reform party believes the family is ?he building block of society.” When asked if a homosexual couple fit into this paradigm, Schmidt simply replied, “that’s not a family.” He emphasized that the Reform Party was simply following the definition asit currently stands in Canadian iaw, despite his earlier claims that Reformers are not content with the status quo. Answering questions from the audience afier his speech, Schmidt endorsed private medical clinics such asthose in Alberta, while pointing out that the Reform Party believes that every Canadian should have access to adequate health care. “we are not totally Capitalist,” he said. He also dealt with questions regarding the decriminalization of marijuana (‘We really haven’t dealt with it.“) and the Reform party’s image. ‘The media is_’not our friend.”

Quantity and quality job postings - what to look for v

by Chris Law special to Imprint By now, everyone in co-op has been looking at job postings for about a week. In some cases, you may be impressed with the quantityofjobs available. Inother cases, you may be quite disappointed with the quantity of jobs avaiiable to you. However, an even more critical issue to you is likely to be the quality of those jobs. That is, the question of whether you’re going to gain valuable experience from the jobs to which you’re applying. Fortunately, there are ways to find out about the quality of the work you are going to end up doing. The first way is obviously to talk to people who have had the job before. I have already been asked by several people about the company I worked for during my most recent workterm. But what do you do if you don’t know anyone who has worked for that company before, or indeed anyone who has ever had a co-op job before? There is a way to do this research.

There is a service, provided by SAC and the Career Resource Centre where you can find summaries of workterms, written by people who have worked for that employer. In the Career Kesource Centre, there’s a filing cabinet filled with Workterm Summaries. They are filed alphabetically by employer, so fading the employer you want should be easy. These sheets give feedbackon

issues such

as working hours, salary levels, personal development as well as a free-form section for comments. It’s like you’re talking to someone who worked there, but you aren’t able to ask them questions. Of course, &is resource is only as gmd as the people who have filled out the sheets. That is why it is important that students fill out the Workterm Summary sheets given to them by their coordinators during their Returnto-Campus Interviews. Now that vou know Frou’ve applied for the hlost amazi& job on the planet, it’s important to impress the interviewer to ensure that you get the job. The Career Resource Centre can help in this

regard again. The workterm summaries are still a valuable resource in this matter, but even more important are the publications that the employers have lefi at the Career Resource Centre. These are glossy publications, such as annual reports and corporate summaries, that will tell you about the business they are in, how much money they make, what their products are, and other information you can use to impress the interviewer. For exampie, you could somehow work the company’s troubles with a new product launch into your answer to a question posed by the interviewer, or talk about the growth in a particular sector and how the company seems well placed to benefit from this growth. If you are interested in finding out more about the job you applied for or have an interview for, the Career Resource Centre is located in Needles Hall and is opnMondaytoFrida)rfromY:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you’re interested in finding out more, SAC meets every Tuesday at 5: 30pm in Needles Hall rm 1030.

A Time to Vote by Julie Primeau VP Internal Federation of Students

Polish up your babies and practice your handshakes, because election fever is striking the campus early -and it is your right and privilege to be involved in the process. I have recently been in the ~habit of raking a lighter approach to this column in an effort to educate FEDS

the campus about the and all of the awesome

services which we provide while having a bit of fun! This week, however I have no choice but to take a more serious approach as an event is about to take place that every student should know about - the FEDS byelection. Those of you who are aware of the upcoming election on October 16 may be asking yourseks if the timing is a bit premature,

and you

would

be correct

so. The current FEDS executive has the unique experience of holding a by-election in order to fill the- recently vacated VicePresident Administration and Finance position. This is not only a unique posaying

sition but a rather di&ult one as well. During the regular elections in February only 15 per cent of the potential voting population turned out to cast their ballot on average. These discouraging nurnbers can be a result of either an apathetic student body or a Federation that is not visible. The current Federation of Students executive has been working quite diligently since May 1st of this year to let you know who we are and what

we are all about.

Some

of you may have heard us speak in your classesduring the first week back, while others have been so kind as to invite us into their floors in residence and still others are turning out in droves to get involved by volunteering. In the first month of the fall term I have witnessed nothing close to apathy from the student bodv, in many regards. It is with this in mind that I urge

“Off” to a great start by MaU Iley special to Imprint What is Needles Hall? Where do I go when I get sick? What if1 don’t get along with my roommate? What should I bring with me? These are some of the many questions which enter the minds of new UW students throughout the summer before entering first year, Now, with the help of the Federation of Students, a program has been initiated to answer these questions, along with the many concerns of the parents too. The High School Send-Off Program, developed last year by the program’s coordintator, Matt Iley, past VPUA Rose Bilicic, and current VI?1 Julie Primeau, is a new program that has, tier only one presentation, proved itself a success. It is a program designed to easethe transition between high school and university for those incoming first year students here at Waterloo. This is reflected in the. Mission Statement of the H.S.S.P.: “to ease and facilitate the transition into first year of university through presenting important information and discussing the concerns of both students and parents ,” And discuss, we sure did. The first ever presentation at Fed Hall this past August 12 saw over 350 incoming first year students, along with their parents, arrive ready to be informed, and to ask their questions. Our “experts” from across the campus formed a panel of speakers who provided a presentation lasting approximately an hour and a half. Representatives from the Registrar’s Office, Financial Services, Campus Ret, Health Services, Student Villages, Campus Police, FEDS, SAC, and of course, ‘95-‘96 frosh were all present. After the presentation, the audience was divided up into two groups, the parents and the students, so both could have a chance to ask questions without the other present. These discussion groups proved to be extremely valuable to both groups, as many of their concerns and questions were answered personally at that time.

With its first ever presentation now under its belt, the Highschool Send-Off Program is well on its way to becoming the newest of the FEDS services. Program coordinator Matt Ilev will be presenting to Student’s douncil at the end of October a request that the H.S.S.P. be declared a FEDS service. The response to this year’s presentation was overwhelming. Evaluation forms passed out at

Fed Hall on the date of the program clearly showed that both students and parents thought the presentation was a great idea, and that the material covered was of definite pertinence to our incoming frosh. Presenters who formed the panel also gave lots ofpmitive feedback to the idea of the program.

Future directions for the program include the possibiliw . of sending program volunteers out to communities across the province. This would provide the same information, but in a local setting to the incoming UW frosh. As well, another presentation at Fed Hall is in the planning too. This is only the start for the High School Send-OfY program. It has come leaps and bounds since its creation last year, and is still on the upward SW-&g. On the same note, we also need volunteers to help get this program on its way. If the H.S.S.P. interests you, please drop into the FED Ofice in the Student Life Centre, or send an e-mail to either Matt Xley,Programa-ordinator at mdi ley@science2.watstar. uwaterloo. Julie Primeau at ca, or primeau@feds.watstar. uwaterloo.ca or call 88&4042 for more information.

The opinions expressed in columns, comment pieces, letters an$other articles are strictly those of the authors, not of Imprint.

arlicr this year the academic publication Social Teti (a cultural-studies journal) published an article by NYU physicist Alan Sokal entitled “Transgressing the Boundaries - Towards a Transformative Herrneneutics of Quantum Cravity.” The article was a hoax, perpetrated by Sokal to prove that publication in academic journals relies less on real research than on the faddish references of any given field. Yet “publish or @GN’ remains the battle-cry of professors everywhere. Research and publication comes first and teaching a distant second. Stories of professors who have not Vet mastcrcd the English language but are hired bi the university to teach students arc common in Math and Engineering. They are hired based on their reputation for research and suffer the little students that come unto them. This attitude can be traced back to Wilhelm von Humboldt, who founded the University of Berlin in 1809. He spread the idea that universities should be places of research, where professors should be actively engaged in an investigation of their areas of specialty. His ideas spread across America first and then throughout the rest of Europe. As a result, universities became centres of scientific investigation. Eventually, research became the top priority. To be sure, this university has some of the most engaging, thought-provoking professors in Canada. The numerous Distinguished Teacher Awards won by Economics professor Larry Smith are well-earned and certainly to be respected. I would fmd it surprising, however, if Professor Smith were to receive the L same rewards - monetary or otherwise - for excellence in teaching as he does from publication in economic journals. In an era when universities are trying to deal with cutbacks, a committment to teaching needs to be made to attract private and public tids. There are several ways universities can demonstrate that they have made such a commitment. The university can put in place the same system of rewards for teaching excellence that they do for publication. This assumes, of course, that the university actually believes that such a commitment should be made. This has yet to be proven. Likewise, universities could attempt to convince private corporations to place their priorities with teaching excellence in fields that coincide with the corporation’s interest. It’s old news when some corporation donates f to some capital project on campus, but for a corporation to demonstrate an interest in seeing that knowledge in their field is not only constantly developing but also being passed on in an effective way would provide a badly-needed shock to the academic system. Students are hardly helpless whn it comes to a reform of teaching. If enough students felt free to complain about lazy, largely-unavailable, tenured professors handing out hand-written course notes for a little extra cashas they stumble through lectures, the university would be forced to admit that a problem exists and possibly raise their standards for teaching requirements. Were students to be iti&-med ofwhich universities take a serious attitude towards teaching, this would undoubtedly affect their decisions regarding which institutions to attend. Or, how about forcing some professors to rake the English asa Second Lar$aage Proficieky Exam? All of these suggestions are irrelevant unless universities come to the realization that a drive towards discovering new facts in a given field are no more important than the abiLity to iass that information to a new generation who can build on that knowledge. Until that point is conceded, it is students who will continue to bear the brunt of a system with misguided priorities.

Living despite ,Death -D

eath. Just saying the word in my mind causes me to become tense. To many people the word is almost unspeakable much more profound than profanity. It usually comes accompanied with pain, sympathy, or a variety of other emotions. AU negative. Almost everyone has seen death from a distance, either through the media, or through an acquaintance. Then there are some people who know death on a closer leGe1a close relative, friend, maybe even a parent, The effects of death on the living have been well studied and ana+xd. The results are pyedictable enough for bereavement groups to form to offer support, tid psychologists to deliver answers. People take death in varying ways, but almost everyone feels remorse. Some feel much more, like guilt, again for Varying reasons. To these people, death is something completely different. It becomes a personal struggle, and in most cases changes them drastically. My father died in early 1992, I was still young, having entered university just a few months months earlier. Innocent in many ways. Naive in more. I never expected him to die. It’s now four years later, and through my stubbornness and perhaps fear of confronting the problem, I still don’t have any real answers and probably never will. The answer is like the devil in a blue dress. So absurd that it will always mean nothing. That’s the feeling I have. I can’t feel my pain, it’s so deep into me, that even when I cry, I can never bi-ing it out completely. Instead, it returns when I am too weak to defend myself, always destined to haurit me and make my life miserable. I can recall it clearly now. The hospital corridor, the two

my mother and sister crying. I was the last to hear. I had been staying at a coworker’s house as a temporary guest until I was going back to school. It was a kind ofshameful thing for me to do, not being able to afford to live at a motel for the remaining three weeks until classes started, So when the car pulled into the driveway, 1 closed-my door I didn’t want to

interrupt the get-together. I guess I should have realized something was wrong right away. No one knew where I was staying. When the visitors knocked and then entered through my door, I was more surprised to see them than anything. At least I was smiling. Then they told me they had some bad news. When they told me, it was too unreal. I couldn’t believe it. I broke my glasses out of shock, and threw my walkman across the room out of anger. I just would not believe it. ’ The ride to the hospital something like 20 minutes, incredibly, I can’t remember. Fully awake, but the memory is blocked out, perhaps permanently. My father’s struggle had ended. Mine was just going to begin. I remember the hospital. My mom came out, her face distraught. She kept saying sor* to me. I was still in shock, disbelief. My sister was just quiet - no tears of anguish. I went in to see my father. Life has never been a snapshot of a single moment that’s where photos aIways fail. He still looked alive though I knew then as I know now that he would never wake up. A while later a therapist had me sit down and was talking to me. She said she could see I was a nice person and had lots of potential. I simply told her to stop kissing ass (actually in harsher words). I’ve never liked nor believed in therapy for any situation. Strength is something I believe every person has to fmd themselves. . You see, the struggle, although it wasjust starting and I didn’t know it has already progressed so far, that the incident changed me and how I think and feel about evewing.

I am writing this letter after returning from Kinko’s. This visit was just another irl a series with disappointing service. Just once I would like to walk into Kinko’s and not have to stand at rhe counter for at Ieast IO minutes before being served. Today I watched two employees stand talking to each other while I waited while another employee waited on three people (much older than I) who had arrived after me. I reallv feel that Kinko’s does not look at us un&rsity students as customers and that we do not receive the respect my parents would if they went in to request something. Todav for example, a Kink&s emplovee went’to serve an older woman who had arrived after me. When I asked whv I didn’t get waited on first since I had a&ed first, I was asked if I exFcted preferential treatment. I found this very rude. I think the university should be having their course notes printed on campus, putting money bxk into the university. Kinko’s does not deserve to profit off people they do not respect. Rarely are the

Abstinence Zachariah

Re: VVho’s right? (Dan Zachariah). I think that Mr. Zachariah makes some good points in his article. In particular, that the abortion debate revolves around the rights of the woman and the rights of the fetus. But what choices does a fetus have? Not much. A woman, however, dms, and should have a choice. But what is too often forgotten is that women have a choice that comes before the need for an abortion exists - the choice to have sex. I believe that that is the choice which a woman needs to make. And if a woman isn’t ready to have a baby, then she isn’t ready to have sex.

Although, I act as your main external representative, the purpose of this column is to incite you to anger or perhaps fervent agreement. I will put forward a positioned viewpoint. Then the deal is you call me or e-mail me (or a letter to the editor) and tell me what you think. I represent you, which essentially means, I speak to John Snobelen and say, Anisha in 4A Ret thinks.. . .etc. It’s in your best interest to put your words in my mouth. In summary, I write these columns, the calls and letters pour in and then I have this overwhelming sense of purpose. So here we go. Number one issue: Fee Differentiation, one of my favourite “ations”, cousin of the ?sm”. Today, I will take the Pro position, risking life and limb, having recently secured life insurance three times my salary. Fee differentiation typically means that universities charge more for some programs than others. Two key rationales for this strategy exist, Firstly, the cost of delivering some programs is drastically divergent from others. For example, in 1495-96, at the University of Western Ontario (I apologise for the example) the cost per student to mount first entry programs, such as arts and science, is $7989 compared to $15,963 for secondentry programs, such as dentistry and medicine. Although many professional programs are significantly more expensive, tuition levels are comparable to the less expensive programs. The result is that students in arts would pay a smaller percentage of their education than those in medicine. Additionally, students in the cheaper

or ext. 2340

programs would be subsidizing the education of those in costly programs. In the interest of equity the government should allow universities to recover a greater share of the costs from these highend disciplines. At the University of Waterloo that would mean engineering and optometry, The second chief pretense of differential fees is based on the concept of %ates of return.” More simply, this refers to exactly what you get out of your university degree, which is more money. With this argument, we must put aside the non-tangible benefits, such as being a better person. There is a great deal of evidence indicating that graduates of engineering will on average make more than graduates of sociology. Since the engineering student can expect higher value from her degree, why shouldn’t she pay more than the sociology student. In all other aspects of life we pay for what we get. The more you get the more you pay. In this case we would be asking for more money from engineers, optometrists (nailed again), accountants and computer scientists. Fans of Milton Freedman should jive to this rationale. It’s simple market economics. Charge more because you can. Engineers, are you willing to pay more? Arts students, are you incensed about subsidizing the education of your friends in hardhats? What’s the verdict? Does Waterloo have anything to sav about this? I hope so. Play a little “spot the Waldo” and find thi flaws in this argument then give me a calLor buy me a coffee and tell me about it.

The CAW (Canadian Auto Workers) union seems about to make a huge mistake. They are prepared to strike in a time of poor sales and a slow economy. A likely result? The loss of 3,500 union jobs, permanently. It really doesn’t take a lot of brains to realize that when you work for a company that is hurting, chances are they can’t afford to offer you much at the bargaining table, and when you ask for a lot, it will be in their best interests to lay off a pile of people instead of giving in. Just one of the things the union is demanding from GM is that outsourcing stop immediately. This is the practice of contracting out work instead of having union workers do it internally. Not surprisingly, GM insists that this is one demand it cannot meet. It is typical of unions to make demands of this kind, demands &at if conceded to, would mean that the union cannot legally have any competition. Competition is what unions fear more than anything. If outsourcing was more expensive than having unions do the work, it wouldn’t be an issue. But the fact is, private companies have a great incentive to work eficiently, where union workers do not. The result? Contracting work out gets the jobs done for less money, and usually in less time. The problem both with and for union workers is that they are hard to fire except for gross incompetence, and I

subsequently usually operate under the premise “do as much as is necessary, but not a bit more.” There was actually a case in England where the union asked the company to fire a worker because he completed his quota of work for the week and askedjiw mow. When wiU unions realize that there are no more free rides? And that ifthey suck too much out of the company, they’ll all go down in flames? GM has already reduced operations at many of its plants due to poor sales. Any further drain on the company (like a strike) will probably result in the closing of some plants permanently. The union, in its greed, is going to hurt its members a lot more than help them.

his weekend, the rejuvenated soccer Athenas established themselves as true contenders in the Ontario West Division, and not just another team of pretty faces. After a disappointing two-nil loss to defending CIAU champion Laurier Lady Hawks, the Athenas regained their composure to upend the Brock Badgers by the same two-nil count. Not only did Waterloo update their record to an even 2-2-1, but they kept themselves on target for the playoffberth that has eluded them for several years. Saturday at Bechtel Park, the Athenas faced their street-sharing rivals, who have been the team to beat for over a season. Victory here would prove sweeter than a piece of che;secake from Village One. The Athenas came into the game on a high note, having welcomed the return of former wrestler- turned- midfielder Melissa Mancini, who, after a year-long hiatus from knee injury and surgery, battled her way back to the pitch to strike fear into her opponents. The Hawks, at their strategic best Saturday, spread the field wide, and relied on quick switches to launch offensive attacks. This formation played out contrary to the Athena midfield set-up of pinching the weak side midfielder, which, in effect, turned a 4-4-3 formation to mimic a 4-4-2. Because of the adaptability ofAthena defender Michelle Sandilands, the Laurier strategists scrapped their project and reorganized the

snappy offense for more standard soccer. The Laurier tactic caught the Athenas ofTguard, and a Laurier striker belted the ball low into the far corner, beating Waterloo keeper Nicole Wight’s outstretched hand by mere inches, As demonstrated in previous contests, the Athenas reacted to the Hawks’goal as a personal kick in the pants. At halftime, A’s coach Bruce Rodrigues urged the team to regain their passion, but the Comeback Kids could not perform another minor miracle. A Waterloo tackle inside the 1% yard box presented the Purple and Gold a chance to pad their one-nil lead and they capitalized, blowing the penalty shot past Wight . Wight regained her composure late in the halfwith a brilliant save, followed by another lightning-like, self-propelled denial on the immediate rebound to keep the.. score at its final count, twoml. Qn Sunday, the downtrodden Waterloo squad returned to the friendly Columbia pitch to face a vengeful bunch of Badgers. This story relates to last year, when Brock, vying for the final playoff spot, saw their hopes and dreams spoiled by the Athenas, who played the St. Kitty squad to a scoreless draw. This year, the corn bination of rainy weather and home field advantage produced a winning combination for Waterloo. From the opening whistle, the previous weekend’s desire to win returned to the KS. The offensive onslaught forced the Brock defenders into

sacrificing three consecutive corners. The third time proved the charm asa defensive rebound came out to midfielder Raelene Driscoll, who touch-passed to stopper Donya Daynard. Daynard confidently struck the ball into the right top she&f the Badger goal. For the first time all season, the Athena had drawn first blood. Spurred on by the first mark, Waterloo declared open season on Badgers. The epitome of this attack came from centre Margaret Corey’s leng&y twenty-five yard blast, which kissed three poles of the net before being deemed outof-bounds. In the second half, after numerous attacks on the back line, the Athenas’ effort again came to fruition. At the 70-minute mark, rookie midfielder Caroline Zwad sent the ball inside from the right wing and found lefi midfielder Raelene Driscoll on the &yard box. Driscoll made no mistake, volleying past the keeper and catching the inside of the far post. Two-nil. Misfortune felled Athena forward Larissa Sproul, when a Badger tackle brought her down, incurring a knee injury with suspect ligament damage. The final two-nil count represented A’s keeper Nicole Wight’s first shut-out, but when reached for comment, Wight replied that “. . .it got really boring back there.” Next action for the Athenas is tomorrow at Columbia against a strong Mac squad. Game time is 1 pm. The current forecast for rain should encourage fms to come out since the Athenas seem to be particularly inspiring in inclement weather.

0 weeks ago, the veteran Guelph Gryphon baseball team, acting as professor, taught the expansion Waterloo Warriors a thing or two about life in the Canadian Intercollegiate Baseball Association. The lesson culminated in a two-game sweep in Waterloo’s own Bechtel Park, Last weekend on Guelph’s own diamond, the student outplaved , the teacher.

The Warriors put the game to bed in the top o’ the sixth, painting a four-spot on the scoreboard, with Eddie Langevin cashing two on a crucial two-bagger to tuck in the Gryphs. All game long, Warrior Aaron Chu chewed up the basepaths with three piKered sacks. AIso, Matt Armstrong pitched the final two innings and gave up three runs, In the second game of the doubleheader, Guelph jumped out to a 4-l lead and maintained that count until the dreaded sixth inning, when once again, the War-

three consecutive Warrior at-bats. In the seventh, up 6-4, the Warriors added two more runs, which proved important when the Gryphs mirrored that output in the bottom of the inning.

Steve Penner grabbed the victory, and Steve Conner slammed the door in the seventh to gain the save. The Warrior performance last weekend opened a lot of eyes in the Ontario West division.

LeRoy and Dillabaugh hot in the heat at Western by Kirk IMlabaxygh special to Imprint

hick fog slowed the crosscountry teams’ triplast Saturday, asthe Warriors and Athenas travelled to London for the 22nd Annual Western Invitational at the Thames Valley Golf and Country Club. However, by the time the Athenas toed the line against top teams in the CIAU and several NCAAschools, the sun had burned through the fog and Sarah Dillabaugh and Judith LeRoy began to shine. Defending CIAU champion Missy McCleary of Windsor showed no respect for the tough, hilly course asshe quickly assumed the lead. Only Dillabaugh was brave enough to keep pace with McCleary, as they opened an early lead on the rest of the field. Following the lead duo, LeRoy sat in fourth, amongst a large pack, battling with the top American runners fi-om Eastern Michigan and Yale. By the halfway point, McCleary

had opened

some

day-

light between herself and Diilabaugh, while the chasing group had been whittled down to

three with LeRoy pushing the pace. Dillabaugh finished strongly, placing second in an amazing time of 17:46 for the 5K course. That placed her sixth among the all-time fastest times on the Thames Valley Course. The final kilometre proved fatal for those struggling to keep up with LeRoy, as she shifted into high gear and sailed away fro& her compebrs, runningtoahuge personal best time of 18:06 and a solid third place finish. The twothree finish was the best ever for the Athenas at the Western Invitational, Diilabaugh having placed ninth in ‘94 and LeRoy 10th in ‘95. Rookie Kim Ross had another outstanding performance in only her second intercouegiate competition, finishing 48th in a field of over 120 runners. Amy Jarvis andLynn Coon battled heat exhaustion, which claimed several runners, but still fmished respectably in the large, competitive field. Leanne Wortley and Wendy Stretch rounded out a fine performance by the Athenas, who look to be one of the strongest teams in the OWIAA this year.

rom early indications of the 1996 OWIAAfield hockey season, it seems the running theme has been taken from an oldie-but-goldie Motley Crue lyric:. “It’s the same old, same old sit-ua-a-tion!” For the defen+ng Ontario champion Waterloo Athenas, no song could be sweeter to the ears. fier the first week and a half of play, once-again perennial penthouse residents York andToronto lead the pack. Once again, dose behind are the Athenas and, once again, much improved Guelph, Queen’s, and Western figure to give the top three outits, well, the fits. The question on campus these days is “What do the Athenas have to do to repeat?” It’s never an easy task in Ontario field hockey, especially since the Athena? title was the first ever by a team not named York or Toronto. For starters, Waterloo’s new recruits have to step in to fti the holes lefi by graduation. Yolanda Lewczuk, the great Athena b&topper; Rachelle Brohman, perennial all-star; Carolyn Stark, leadinggoalscorer last season; and Shannon Morris have all moved along the line to bigger and better things. At first glance, it looks bleak. Even Black and Gold braintrust and head coach Sharon Creelman admits the A’s lost “lots this year in terms of work output.” Fortunately for Waterloo, Creelman has established herselfas arguably the world’s greatest recruiter. Last

D D

season, rookies Amy Adair and Michelle Lo both played like veterans, keying the Athenas to their title. Both players returned, and if the same type of situation occurs, things will be looking good. Creelman finds her team in the enviable position as underdogs once again, due to the strength of the Metro clubs. She me& asks that the A’s “show a lot ofirowth in a short period of time. It’s important for these kids to get better.” Field hockey is unlike other sports in that the season is relatively short, and there is little time for mistakes. So, if you’re going to bond, you’d better do it soon. As for the rest of the league, the team to beat is Torontu. The Blues are the loaded gun in terms of goal scoring, and their output this year should reach towards the historical league records. Creelman states, ‘The Ieague, asa whole, is better. Everybody’s going to be stronger. No one’s unbeatable since some of the better kids are going to other schools now? Creelman does respect the scoreability of some schools, and that may af5ect the style of play the Athenas employ in their matches. ‘We’re not going to go toe-to-toe right away with some teams, but we’re confident that defensively, we can hold some of these teams.” However, it’s not Like the A’s don’t expect to score, though. Especially with Amy Adair, Michelle Lo, and Bernice Willemse, the quiet, hard-working leader of the team, in the lineup. Creelman acknowledges

Frederick

Lai

this point: “It’ll be a good mix. It’ll be an interesting season. We’ve got a lot of confidence because these kids know they had a good season last year, and they feel good about what was accotiplished.” So far, the Athenas have started out at a 2-l-l pace going into Wednesday night’s crucial clash with the Guelph side. The A’s blasted Trent 3-O (Trent has scored only four goals in their last 36gamesspanningthreeseasons), beat Western 2- 1, lost to Toronto 3-1, and tied Queen’s 1-l. The only real surprise was the latter tie to Queen’s, which only proves how much tighter this year’s league standings are going to end up being. Coach Creelman emphasizes the fact that this season is going to be approached one game at a time. She points out, ‘The regular season gives you a chance to seewhat you want or need to do when the time comes. Ultimately, you want to build a good foundation, so next year and the year aber, we’ll get something better out of this team. I think, sometimes, we tend to rush the players.” Well, rushed or not, the Athena hockey club is back in defense of their Ontario title. And whether they repeat or not, to Coach Creelman, the formula from last year’s success is prevalent in this year’s hockey club: ‘They’re a good bunch of kids and they work hard.” With that prevailing anitude around town, perhaps we should invoke the lyrics from other genuine oldie-but-goldie for this team: ‘The firture’s so bright, we’vegotta wear shades.”

nnis season is now underway at U W, and this year’s mens team is not just looking to improve on last year’s fifth place finish, >thev are looking to Lake the nlayo& for the first &ne in the pait f;>ur years. 40 players tried out for nine spots, with only five days to make cuts, which makes choosing the team extremely difficult. However, coaches Dave Canstant and Marten Johnson feel that they have put together a delinite plavoff contender that could bring hbme a ChampionshipThe team is composed of only three returning players, captain Stephen

A&erg, David (Heart) Markin and Albert (Serve and Volley) Tseng-and six first year players-Chad (The Rookie) Fraser, Andrew (Tabernac) Roszko, Anthony (Chips and Pop) Bellomo, Ralph (Stringer) Rank, Mahai Tudor and Andrei Tudor (Romanian Imports). . This past week&d the Warriors were-up against the OUAA champions, the Western Mustangs and the Brock Badgers. Five single matches bring on a three out of five victory, all against Western. Tseng was able to pull an outstanding tie breaker in the final set. Five for five against Brock, all singles matches by the Warriors which were led by Markin, Tudor, Tseng, Ahlberg and Fraser

whom were all victorious asusual. Markin played Rich Cooper in what was the most exciting match of the day. He dropped the first set to the hard serving Cooper, who was hitting serves more than 120 miles per hour. His groundstrokes are what kept him alive as the balls became heavier and slower. Markin broke Coopers serve three timesto take the second set 6-1. In the final set Martin continued to frustrate Cooper, breaking his serve twice in first three games in lead at 3-O. Overwhelmed by his own temper Cooper destroyed his racquet by smashing it in two, and from then on Brock’s number one player went downhill while Ma&in continued doing what he was doing

and won the final set 6-2. In the doubles matches, the Warriors were lesssuccessful winning only one of four matches. Al&erg and Markin had the only win against Brock 6-3,6-O; what a victory! This coming weekend the team travels to York University to face the host YeomenandQueen’s.

This should be a challenge for the Warriors because they are going up against mo teams who fmished ahead of them in the standings last year. A defeat is imperative, while taking three of seven would be very positive. If this weekend is strong at York, playoffs may not be far away.

What You Need for the BESTPRICES

ey, here’s a shocker: another whining sports athlete! This time, it’s the mighty Rocket Roger Clemens. You may remember him from the Boston Red Sox teams of the late ‘8Os, when he was !Pd. With a handful of games left in the season, including one more start for Roger, and with the Red Sox all but eliminated from the play-off race, Roger has publicly considered (roughly translated : said something stupid in the press) sitting out his last start. Why? It’s really simple. He is a free agent after this season, and he doesn’t want to jeopardize his career, or the financial stability of his entire family, for one meaningless start. Now please, correct this humble member of the working classif you will, but when you sign a contract, you’re under contract for the duration of that deal. Of course, when you’re an over-thehill player having the chance to sign a multi-year deal for lots of money (Hi Erik Hanson!), the rules go right out the window. Looking at Roger’s stats as I write this, he’s a tepid 10-l 2 with a 3.60 ERA. And if he pitches one more start, it won’t make much of a difference to his stats, but he risks the possibility of an injury if he pitches. So, boys and girls, the lesson to be learned from the Rocket is that ifit doesn’t matter, don’t try. What a role model. Now let’s just take a look at those numbers. As of Wednesday night’s action, the Boston Red Sox sit four games out of the playoffs, where Clemens wants to be. He’s gone lo-12 this year, Now, if he was really the pitcher

he thinks he is, he should have been at least 12-10, maybe 14-8. However, he blew the first halfof the season and had a decent second half. If you look at that four game turnaround, my goodness, the Bosox would be tied for a playoff spot. Maybe Roger should evaluate his contribution to the

Hey Bosox fans, don’t eqect to see much of thkmymore. team and shut his big ol’ Texas yapper. Likely, by the time you read these words, the Bosox will not be in the playoffs, and Roger will not be a fan favourite in Boston anymore. And next season he’ll be in Houston. I really hope that in the next week, Roger “the Dodger” gets hit in the head by a foul ball offthe bat ofMo Vaughn. It would serve him right.

ow, what kind ofa rant about stuck-up, over-paid whining athletes would be complete

without at least examining the Jeff George situation with the Atlanta Falcons. And surprisingly enough, I’m actually thinking of speaking in George’s defence. After having a half-decent start to the game, and throwing ten straight completions, he threw an interception, and was benched by coach June Jones. This resulted in a heated exchange ofdirty words between coach and player, and now, George is on the trading block. Huh? This dates back to training cmp, when George held out for three weeks before settling on a one year deal. But, the chemistry between this under- achieving rocket launcher and coach has never been good. But to even think of trading a franchise quarterback, especially when your Atlanta (the one-time team of Brett ‘Tylenol” Favre), is ludicrous. And with today’s salary cap problems, who can you trade him for? Most teams can’t afford to clear three and a half million under the cap without losing a really good player, and George will be a free agent tier the season anyway. To complicate matters more, George is now talking about how he’s the consumate team Dlaver and SuDer Bowl iua’nerback. Ok, he% never been there, but he thinks he is of that calibre. He may have the talent, but he’s not Stan Humphries. Any way you try to look at this situation, it doesn’t make sense. Granted, George shouldn’t have mouthed off to the coach on the field (and, importantly, on TV), but for the team to toss him on the trading block so quickly really runs close to being stupid.

the easiest way to earn respect is to hit your opponents hard.” This weekend against Laurier, that’s exactly what he did. He may not look like much when he steps up to the line, but just ask those Laurier receivers, Jason Tibbits knows how to hit. Responsible for covering Cory Grant for most of the game, Jason held the rising star to just three catches and a meagre 66 yards. “I remember my old high school coach, he used to say hit-

ting was 90% mentality and 10% technique. I may only weigh MOI70 pounds - there’s not much to me - but I jwt use my head. I just go in there and don’t think about it.” This seems to be one of the reasons why Jason has played so well in 1996. He hasn’t let the pressure of playing with one of the strongest defensive units get to him. He knows he belongs out on the field but at the same time feels he can improve with every down. “It’s been a good week for me!” says a very shy and reserved Jason who seems unaware of the

impact he made on people this weekend. Y’rn just trying to improve every game. I know I had two interceptions this week but, I don’t think they were great interCeptiOIlS, they were just overthrown balls I just happened to

catch.” However,

agrees with his modest approach. “Jason’s is doing great,” says defensive coordinator Chris Triantifilou of his starcornerback. “He’s

got

great

feet,

he’s got

knack for the ball, just a super athlete, and he learns very quick. He doesn’t complicate tke game any more than it should be. And, he always does what I ask him to do, God love him!” Originally planning on following in the footsteps of his sister who is on a tennis scholarship at Berklcy in the States, Jason fell in love with the game of football in high school md hasn’t stopped plaving since. r “Corning here, my goal was just to dress. I knew I played well in spring camp and had a chance this year, but I didn’t think I would be starting. Now, just to be out on the field, T’m liapp\? s

ampus Recreation Advi sory Council, that is. In case you haven’t heard about this all powe&.l organization working to bring recreation advice and direction to all those who seek it, let me fill you in. CRAC is a group of students interested in all facets of Campus Recreation who work to make the programs and facilities at UW as great as they can possibly be. Anyone who is interested can join the CRAC. Every faculty and residence has at least one spot for a representative on the council. Even if you just want to attend a meeting, that’s cool and chances are you’ll come back. CRAC hasfour main purposes: to act as an advisory body to the firll time Campus Recreation staff, to help establish the policies that govern the CR program, to make program rec-

’

ommendations and to act as a sounding board with respect to recreational activity offered on campus, and to ensure MO-way communication between the participants and the administration, Amazingly enough, all this and more is accomplished in only three or four meetings per term. At these meetings, everyone has the opportunity to provide input on a current issue facing the Campus Recreation program. (Word has it mass amounts of rCza”are often consumed as well!). It’s a great way to meet new friends, develop leadership skills, and learn about and contribute to Campus Rec. CRAC also has two sub-committees which both have interesting and important jobs to do. We’d eliminate the first one if we could but unfortunately it’s a very necessary part of CR. The Protest and Conduct Board is in charge of settling conflicts and discipline problems which usually arise

out of play in CR competitive sports leagues. Suspensions from one game to lifetime banishment could be the result of anything from fighting to using ineligible players. The second group is the Student Conference Committee, which organizes UWs student presentation for the annual post secondary Campus Recreation Conference. Any member of CRAC is eligible to be on either of these committees, aswell asothers that come up through the term. After reading this informative, enthusiastic article you’re undoubtedly psyched to get on CRAC right? Unfortunately, ifthis is the first you’ve heard of CRAC you likely missed the first meeting (&Wednesday) already. Don’t worry though, there will be many more throughout the year and you can find out when and where by calling extension 6340. Hope to see you out! And, oh yeah, Jane, no anchovies this year please!

Boxing’s Eternal Champions The men who constructedthe art that we haveseendestroyedby capitalistdesires by Tim Bondarenk~ Imprint staff

s a child I was fascinated with this sport I saw on the television. I used to watch rown men hit each other with their fists, A then hug each other after they were fmished. I watched them fight for intervals of three minutes, then they would rest for thirty seconds before the next three minutes would begin. During those thirty secondsI was exposed to women in bathing suits -displaying numbers on huge placards that they held above their head. The crowd cheered louder sometimes for the women than they did for the men in the ring with the gloves on. In time, I was told that I was watching Boxing. Apparently this sport I was watching was not a contemporary one. In fact, I was surprised to learn that Boxing has been on this planet ever since ancient Greece- fti century B.C. to be exact. The Boxers of ancient Greece fought naked, and instead of using gloves the Boxers bound leather to their knuckles, and fought until one of the opponents was unconscious. Hardlv what you see today. These early soldiers of the modern sport not only put their lives on the line when they fought but they put their reputations on the line as well. A defeat in the ancient ring almost certainly meant a defeat in the eyes of society. Most commonly, boxers of ancient times gained many privileges if they won. The ruling class would hire them to fight for entertainment, which resulted in many early fighters gatig substantial amounts of fme and fortune. Though this fame was very limited, they usually only experienced local popularity, rather than .international popularity. Then something strange happened to Boxing. The sportdisappeared along with the fall of the Roman Empire in the early fifth century AD. But in the year 1704, a man by the name of John Broughton was born, ;md over time he felt compelled to put up his dukes and scrap with other British gentle’ men. Fighting in parks and local taverns, the citizens became fiuious with the fact that their towns were being turned into brawling centres. So Broughton decided to open a Boxing school near the

Haymarket in London, England, and along with it introduced a set of rules for the sport that would come into play centuries later, Thus, Broughton was deemed the “Father of Boxing”. To gain the title of champion, Broughton defeated a crafty Boxer named George Taylor. Taylor had gained his title from a man by the name of James Figg, who, tier years of fighting in the streets, announced himself Champion of the World. The revival of Boxing in the early eighteenth century not only paved the way for modern Boxing to emerge, it also brought money into the towns where Boxing amphitheatres were established. On fight days, thousands of people would emigrate to selected towns and watch their favourite local fighters get in the ring and fight. Fans would spend their money at local shops and Inns before and after the fight. The fights also attracted thieves and criminalsintotheparticulartowns, which resulted in an increase of pick pockets and other small time criminal operations. Not only were boxers glorified by younger fans, much of the adult male population had their LLfavourite” boxer. The boxers themselves often had their pictures painted by local artists, and sold the prints to Boxing connoisseurs. Wise they were, the original prints today arc worth thousands, and are in great demand by modern Boxing collectors. Though there was only a very basic set of rules to follow, many boxers of the day often lost their eyes to finger pokes and scratches.

As well, boxers then could hold onto each other as they fought. The most common place to grab one’s opponent was by their hair, They also fought without gloves and were allowed to strangle their opponents when necessary. Boxers also fought until they were in their fifties, something non-existent today. The escalation of extreme violence in the ring prompted many members of society to start to protest against the sport itself. They thought the sport was detrimental to society because they saw it giving distorted views of humanity. Humanity, they thought, was supposed to be civilized, not barbaric, so a fi.~I reconstruction of boxing had to take place in order for the sport to continue as a public event. So the boxers of the time had to use their battered brains to figure out how to keep the sport alive. Their solution was to put on gloves and fight in organized leagues; something John Broughten had suggested more than a century earlier. The first offrciai heavyweight Champion of the World was John L Sulhvan, a Yank from Massachusetts. During his career he only lost one fight, and made himself a million dollars by the time he retired in 1915. Obviously, early boxers knew there was money to

be made in the sport, so many entered the ring for financial gain as well as world popularity. But unlike todays boxers, the boxers ofthe early twentieth century acmdY fought for their money, somk times battling for fifty rounds. The first black heavyweight Champion of the World was Jack Johnson, who shattered the belief that white men were superior to blacks in boxing. % He w& notorious for punching his opponents so hard that their teeth would stick into the front of his gloves. After Jackson retired, he continued to engage in exhibition fights well into his sixties. Coming from a poor family in Lexington, Alabama, Joe Luuis gained the championship title in 1937. Nick-named the “Brown Bomber”, Louis would defend his title 26 times, but lost his 27th defence onpoints. Undetermined to end his-boxing career, Louis continued to fight until he was knockedoutoftheringbyayoung and rising star, Rocky A&&cia.& Perhaps the best boxer in history, Rocky Marciano entered the ring professionally 49 times, and never once lost a shgle fight. Born in Massachusetts, Marciano served in the United States Army during the Second World War, and returned home with the intentions of becoming a professional boxer.

He went to New York to fight for a group of boxing matchmakers, but was denied to fight professionally because he was considered too small to have any potential as a victorious heavyweight fighter. Depressed, Marciano returned home to work in a small factory, but continued to box as an amateur. After turning professional in 1947, Marciano fought his way to the top of boxing’s elite, and earned himselffour million dollars in the process. And then there’sthis guy from Louisville who everybody talks about. Born Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali revolutionized the concept of boxing by introducing character to the sport. Flamboyant and expressive, Ali would taunt his opponents in and out of the ring, and on a regular basis would write poetry to say at press conferences. His most famous, CLFloatlike a butterfly, sting Like a bee”, earned him the reputation of being vainglorious. In one statement to the press he declared himself as the “Greatest”. Though Ali had successful bouts in the ring, his fight against the American Government wasn’t as successll. In 1967 he was stripped of his title because he rehed to enter the United States Army on grounds of religious and l

moral reservations. During his “lost” years between 1967 and 1970, Ah became an activist against the war in Vietnam and drew close to his new found religion, Islam. But after a three year lull, Ali entered the ring again and staged some of the most spectacular fights the world has ever seen. Three of these fights were against a boxer from Seaufort, South Carolina, named Joe Frazier. The first of the three AL-Frazier fights took place in New York City, and unlike most of today’s championship fights, it went the distance of fmeen rounds, In the end it was Frazier who defeated Ali, but both fighters had to be hospitalized due to swollen faces and dehydration. The second fight between the two heavyweights took place in January of 1974. Once again, the fight was fought in New York City. This time Ali prevailed, but it still went the distance, and set up the tie breaker that took place two years later, which the boxing world dubbed the Thriller in Manila.” Perhaps the most famous fight of this century, and perhaps of all time, Ali

quits, or box the rest of the fight with the vision of only one eye. Ali hit Cooper so many times in the f’ifih that judges lost track of how many punches he had actually landed. The fight was officially called offwhen the left side of Cooper’s face was completely covered in blood. But Cooper would get his chance to face the champ again, three years later in 1966. With all of England watching, Coopper’s chance at the world title diminished as Ali once again took advantage of his weak left eye and split it open in the sixth. The fight was then called off due to the fact that Cooper could barely seewhat he was doing. After watching these two fights, on the television, I was instantly compelled to feel empathy for the ill-fated fighter. Having bad luck with a bad eye made me wonder if in fact Cooper’s eye was destined to be a part of his boxing career. Though this seems highly doubtfd, ifs interesting to note that most of his loses resulted from the excessive bleeding of his left eye. Consequently enough, Cooper fought most of his fights guarding his left eye from blows that

would rip his flesh apart and cause his eye to bleed. Opponents of Cooper were told by their managers and trainers to focus their punches towards Cooper3 left eye. Having all of this to think and worry about, it seems plausible that Cooper was indeed ill-fated. Mer his boxing career, Cooper became a wealthy businessman and was used for many corporate endorsements, but it was the bouts with Ali that made him famous. My boxing fascination is limited, -however. Since I became enthraled with the sport by watching the old famous fights of the fifties, sixties, and seventies, my interest in modern botig is re-

refkrbished

tors did, which was fight. I know it seems like a contradiction, but the boxers of today, or at least the heavyweight boxers of today, are only after one thing in the ring; the single punch that will end the match and collect their incomes. The boxers of today seem to be in complete physical condition. They are trained by many professionals and are groomed for the boxing world. Most of their focus is on power, whereas the boxers of the past relied more on endurance. The sport itself has today almost transformed into a scientific affair, where highlycomplex and specialized training involving modem technology has taken the place of the old school training techniques which were more basic and less involved. Boxers of the past had time to have famiiies and raise children, while boxers oftoday are constantly in a state of training for the big fight. More and more emphasis today is being put towards the marketing aspect of boxing, which allows many people to grab their share of the total income produced by tdday’s professional fights. It appears that boxing has turned into a forum for-economic increases

and Frazier slugged it out for fourteen rounds before Frazier threw in the towel. ln a press statement after the fight, Frazier told the world that he had stopped the fight because he thought “somebody was going to get killed.” One of the first boxing matches 1 ever saw was a card featuring Cassius Clay battling Henry Cooper. Cooper, a white guy from Westminster, England, floored the champion and favourite, Ali, with a massive lefi hook. Ah was saved by the bell, but ifthe punch had hit Ali twenty-seconds earlier in the fight, Cooper would have been the first professional to defeat Ali. In the ffi, however, a on

Boxing today seems to be a capitalistic enterprise, where fight-

ers are only interested in the monetary gains that go along with modern fights. It seems that fighters are no longer interested in doing what their boxing ances-

throughout society. Many private corporations today use the boxer as the tool to produce massive amounts of wealth. Sure boxers of the past made %ice” salaries, and it’s quite reasonable to think that some matches of the past were fuced or rigged, but the amount of abuse they took would make you wonder why, ifit was rigged, they just didn’t fall down after ninety seconds of boxing. My faith in boxing will remain with the older generation of boxers. The generation of boxers who slugged it out for fifieen rounds to earn themselves a title and who fought on public television and weren’t paid zniuions of dollars for the 90 seconds of sport that the boxers of today provide. Until this happens, however, fight nights in my home will result in myself going to the local video store and renting myself a video of the real sport they call boxing.

Murphy during Sloan’s set, and the crowd went wild. “Oh, sure, nott7you applaud,” he retorted. Was it my imagination, or was that a grimace on Murphy’s face after he sang the classic line “It’s not the band I hate, it’s the fans?” To their credit, they did pick up shortly before the end of the show. Andrew Scott came out front to sing “People of the Sky” and “All 400 Meters,” and it was evident that Chris Murphy was happier as a drummer than a frontman. The crowd was invited to sing along on “Snowsuit Sound,” and some actually did, and when asked to clap along to another song the entire pit became a sea of hands and for the first time, Sloan appeared to be enjoying themselves. It did not, however, make up for their previous lacklustre performance. Sloan would be well advised to take their own advice from “Everything You’ve Done Wrong:” “In your life, you get so high, there’s nowhere left to go but down.. ,” The words could be about the band itself, but I hope not: asthe song continues, “Don’t hide yourself away-let it shine, let it shine.” Next time I see you, let it shine, Sloan.

show attendance (like the gig on Friday), due to lack of posters. Low attendance means less peopie buying the CD%. Though the celtic rock community is sizably smaller than other popular music communities, the emergence of fiddle wizard Ashley Madsaac hasincreased its exposure. According to Vallee though, half of Canada has yet to cat& up to such hot spots as Halifax, where the band has enjoyed its best gigs. “Our worst tours have been out west. There’s a shortage of venues in such places as Vancouver and the music hasn’t caught on much. The last time we went out west our engine exploded and my girl friend dumped me, We’re totally cursed on those tours.” Even the exposure to musicians such as MacIsaac has proved to be a double-edged sword. ‘? met him on one of our tours,” says Mickey. “He wanted me to fly to LA to do a gig with him, but unfortunately I had to play a gig that night and I never made a connecting flight.” Such incidents can lure band members away to bigger and better things and at the same time

make enough money for MCA to warrant much support. Because we’re on the bottom of the totem pole we don’t get support, and without support we can’t make them any money. “We

The only thing is, I ‘d be really satisfied if I was earning five times what I earn now.” Perhaps Vallee will see himselfand his band earning that type of money.

ired of the same dark clubs and gaudy artwork? Interested in seeing a show where the promoters are interested in more than selling beer? There are alternatives; recent years have seen the rise of independent promoters in Canada-fans putting on concerts in their garage, basement, attic, or wherever one can shove a PA and a couple microphones. It could be a band from around the block, or it could be a great band that couldn’t get into a club on a certain day. Like Pansy Division. They’ve toured with Green Day and opened for huge crowds at stadium shows, but most recently they were spotted playing in the tiny Korova Caf6 at 79 Joseph St., just across the street from the Transportation Centre. The show was another example of the new blossoming do-it-yourselfmovement-ioal music fms trying to bypass the corpurate pressure of alcohol-sale-helled club gigs for more inexpensive, all-ages, notfor-profit shows in more personal settings. A couple of local punk bandsHasslehoff and Cd&r--opened to a small but steadily growing crowd in the early evening (noise regulations mean the Korova’s shows end around 11 p.m.). At ten p.m., the world’s most famous gay musicians hit the floor (no stage) for an hour of fun, friendly, fag music. Pansy Division don’t pull any lyrical

punches; their goal is to bring homosexual culture into the mainstream by writing as graphically as they want to. Somewhere along the way, straight people started listening too-half to three-quarters of their audience, estimated lead singer Jon Einoli. It’s hard not to like a band with as much humour and intestinal fortitude, not to mention incredibly catchy_-pop-- punk tunes, as PD. Their set included favourites like ‘Tames Bondage,” “Denny,” and “Dick of Death,” as well as thought-provoking covers of Liz Phair’s cLFlower’y(not one word changed or omitted) and the Ramones take-oK”Rock ‘n’ Roll-Gay Bar.” In the confines of the Korova, the band was much more accessible than they would have been onstage in a smokey bar. They were brought back for a couple encores, ending with bassist Chris Freeman’s traditional spraying of the audience with Silly String. This time, people in the crowd brought their own to fightback, and the c& was strewn with green foam. I wish I’d taken pictures. The band was touring Canada for the first time in six months in promotion of their new single. The 7’ wasn’t available at the show, but Jon described it as the band’s c’heavy metal album. The cover is a parody of AC/DC’sFm ThseAbuut To Rock> called Fur l%use A&oat tz~ Sunk Cock... We do an original song called ‘Head-banger,’ about a heavy metal guy, and a few heavy met4 covers of Judas Priest and Kiss. And it comes with a sticker ofBeavis and Butthead getting it on on the sofa!” It was five dollars well spent-I’d rather support gutsy queers than WV% spineless homophobic morons any day.

Stairwayto Heaven Audio Adrenaline CuvtestcgaCullge Saturday, September 2 1 by Warren Hagey special to Imprint

early two thousand university, college, and high school students crowded the Conestoga College Recreation Centre last Saturday for a youth rally which was a prelude the upcoming. Festival ‘96 with Franklin Graham. Providing music for the event was Audio Adrenaline. Hailing from Nashville, Audio Ais a leading Christian rock band, and they put on quite a show. As they led off with “Secret,” the crowd rushed toward the stage, and were jumping enthusiastically with a few of the more daring people doing some crowd surfing. They continued with YCan’t

Take God Away” and “I’m Not The King,” but it was “If You’re Happy And You Know It” that really got the crowd going. I’m not very well acquainted with most of their newer material, but I enjoyed “Gloryland” and was excitedto hear the familiar strains of ‘%/ever Gonna Be As Big As JeSUC

Throughout the petiormance, lead singer Mark Stuart paused to explain what believing in Jesus means to him and what the songs meantohimas aChristian. ‘Walk On Water” was next, followed by 3ee Through,” a new song to me that I was very impressed by, ;ind. “Memoir.” Before taking a break, Audio A played ‘cFree Ride,” a song that’s upbeat and fun, but still has an important message. As the band left to the cheers of their fans, David Nasser, a speaker who will be coming back for Festival ‘96, took the stage. He spoke for about twenty rnin-

utes, giving an excellent address about how Christians need to be different

from

others

inthe world.

He also talked about “God’s Engagement Plan,” andseveral dozen young people made decisions to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. The night wasn’t quite fmished though, as Audio Adrenaline came back out to perform their hard rocking tune “We’re A Band” and another favourite of mine, “Big House.” Finally the music stopped and the crowd voiced their appreciation, but many didn’tleave right away, as the band stayed around to sign autographs. After seeing this show, I can’t wait for Fe&al ‘46, whichwill be taking place October 6 - 9 at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium starting at 7 p.m. each evening. There will also be a special performance by Nouveaux at 7 p.m. on October 5.

n Friday, September at the Volcano, The Shannon Lyon Pop Explosion unleashed tl&r new Video. Shannon Lyon is the frontrnan for the Kitchener-based band, and

the other members are Mike Alviano (formerly of Strange Days), Adam Buschlen from The Longfellows, and Jody Cram. The Shannon Lyon Pop-Explosion video release party was just thatone big party. This last concert before they begin to tour out west in October was really a kick-off to the big time, and a thank-you to those that have supported The Shannon Lyon Pop Explosion, and Lyon’s former label Swallow Records, which supported The Shannon Lyon Pop Explosion and The Mighty Fishermen. .

Lyon has recently worked out a joint dkal with EM1 and Nettwerk record labels. Although successhas fmally found The ShannonLyon Pop Explosion, the band plans on remaining true to their hometown-Lyon plans on recording his next album at Cedar Tree Studios in Kitchener. Shannon h&also helped local artists The Mighty Fishermen grow, and the Fishermen opened the party with style. The Fishermen appeared on stage in suits and brought along a boost ofenergy. The Mighty Fishermen have really grown musically, which one can see in their song lyrics and stage presence. Ladies be warned! These fine young men will charm the socks off of you. The video, for the title track from The Shannon Lyon Pop Explosion’s newest album lModf Rule,WaS shot totally in K-W, at~d includes chestnut fights, motorcycles, women, arid of course, Mods. The albumMu&Weis about relationships, and attitudes about a variety of subjects. The tunes will really make you dance and the quality musicianship should make KW proud.

The Kumbaya Festival has been running for 3 years now, raising money to support people dealingwithHIVandAIDS.They have raised over $600,000 to date but it should be more. This year the turnout was horrible with only about 150 people attending the show. There were still at least 100 more seatsleft and plenty of standing room. Still, the performers did their part in entertaining those willing to give their $12 to a good cause. + Perhaps in the fkture the organizers will allow the perlbrrners longer sets. I was just getting into most acts as the bands had to wrap-up. Perhaps a Saturday titernoon-night event like Lollapalooza or Roadside would sell better. I said it once and I’ll say it again.

by Justin Mathews Imprint staff Although I am well aware that the Tear Garden started out as a side project, I think I’ve come to Like them better than the other bands the members originally came from. Once upon a time, the Tear Garden was a duet, comprised of cEvin Key and Edward best I Ka-Spel. Key is perhaps known as being one of the guys from (the now defunct) Skinny Puppy, one of the biggest names in industrial music. Edward KaSpel has done solo projects, but is most recognized asthe singer from the Legendary Pink Dots. Skinny Puppy, asI mentioned before, has the definite sound of an industrial band. The Legendary Pink Dots have a very psychedelic feel to them, but are much harder to classif@ 1 think the coming together of cEvin Key and Edward Ka-Spel corn ,bines the best of both s&nds. At first, these two were the band, and the Tear Garden sounded like a blend of Skinny Puppy and Pink Dots. Since then,

these guys are or were part of. The vocals, done by Ka-Spel, have a melody that one wants to sing along to almost immediately. But then, that would interfere with hearing the music, which is difficult to describe in words. The collection of sounds is a hvDnotic and psychedelic mixture ;>f guitar, bass,drums, keyboards and an assortment of other noises. Ifyou’ve heard the Pink Dots,

I have noticed that this new sounds less like Skinny Puppy and more like the Pink Dots. This is the first Tear Garden album since the death of Dwavne R. Goetrel and the collap& of Ski~y Puppy, but the slight shift in musical direction (and it is only slight) is more likely due to a more collaborative effort amongst those responsible. The Tear Garden definitely sounds more like a band and le& like a side project than they did with TiredEyes S&w&@~ming. To Be An Ayyl Bhd, The Crijphd Soul Divide is not just for Pink Dots or Skinny Puppy fans (although I think it surpasses both bands). It’s a must for anyone who likes interesting music that lingers in vour ears. album

Imprint staff Bob Mould remains a genuinely i.ntrigCng figure primarily because of his musical malleability. He’s proved he, can destroy amps (Zen Arcade), write lilting acoustic numbers (Wwk~~h), and score religious concept albums (Beater). logue

As varied as his back is musically, Mould

catahas

managed to display a fierce dedication to maintaining the same level of quality in all of his work. Unfortunately, this ethic applies only to select tracks from E~ourriae, Mould’s first release since the death of Sugar. It’s an adventurous work. The title track is a straight ahead rock number, but with strange moments of misplaced feedback fading in and out of the song. Mould suffers from an ear malady which (he ln interviews) results in his hearing a perpetud sheet of white noise l.n the background. Apparently, Mould is trying to capture some of that in this song, and he isn’t completely unsuccessll. At first it’s unnerving

to hear these odd squeals and squawks in the song, but that’s probably the effect Mould’s going for. Sadly, the rest of the album doesn’t quite manage to live up to the title track, perhaps because every instrument on this album was played by Mould. It’s not surprising that the result is somewhat bland at ties. Lyrically Mould could have had a field day with “1 Hate Alternative Music,” but the words fall flat, and Mould doesn’t really end up saying much. As a poison pen letter to his fans, Mould should’ve worked a little harder to m&e at least this song sound slightly different than the music he’s cursing. The single contains some of his better work. “Doubleface” fades out amidst some static about halfway through, coming back towards the end for a rather original conclusion. There are interesting variations, but the songs aren’t pvut songs. They may not k musical revelations, but ifs amazing that Moul~

by San$yAtwal Imprint staE Too often, the term “prolific” is used as a complimentary adjective without qualifkation. Being prolific in and of itself is hardly impressive, but when faced with a band like The Fall that manages to push notions of quality and quantity into a realm inhabited by so few others, one can’t help but be awestruck. Their last ccproper” album was 1994’s Middle C&s kvdt. Since then, the band has released a stop: gap “welcome back” album for lead singer Mark E. Smith’s exwife &ix, a double live album, three camp-&tion/rarities albums, a Mark E. Smith side project with UK techno-noise makers D.O.S.E., and a single, “The Chiseiiers .” Considering all of these releases, it wouldn’t be out of order to excuse the Fall for releasing a half-hearted album. Fortunately, the I;aht user syndrome isn’t an album that needs excusing, Largely eschewing the heavy synthesizers and tape loops that worked so well on Co&:sel@~ and even Mid& Chw Revolt, the Zz>bt umryndmne seems to have found a happy middle ground between the dissonant, scratchy guitars of yesteryear and current technotrends.

you’re not going to like all of this the first time around-but then there are few Fall albums that don’t follow that pattern. If you’re willing to invest the time, however, the payoff is enormous. Few are willing to invest the time, of course, because so much of contemporary music relies on ftihion trends set by other bands. One Nirvana and all of a sudden the next million bands are Nirvana clones. How pleasantly rare that The Fall manages to forge a course independent of such unimaginative clones. The lg@t user yndmme retains the erstwhile conventions that make the Fall the Fall, most notably Mark E. Smith’s barely coherent lyrics and his singing style that is, well, talking. But then, that’s the whole point. Rarely including lyric sheets, the barely understandable Mancunian mumblings of Smith are a chore to interpret. Even if you were to sit down and try to write out what he’s saying, the end result is, at best, post-modern poetry that meshes a working class sensibility with socio-political commentary that would make the most die-hard situationalist balk. That might not sound like a compliment, but it is-a compliment of the highest nature because The Fall, no matter what

bYA&& special to Imprint A lot of bands have tried to combine a heavy guitar riff with a Wed up bass line. Alot ofbands have failed miserably. Orange 9mm are not one of those failure bands, and their new album ‘Tragic” is solid proof of that. At its worst, the songs become headbobbing background sound. At its best, you feel compelled to

slowly, and fickle listeners might be tempted to quickly write 09mm off as just another skate fimk band. There is a heavy dose of Chili Pepper envy in the early songs. Patience is rewarded, however, with a killer second half. There is no clich6 rock guitar humping in these later songs. From the abusive rant of CCGunto Your Head,” through the worldhates-me-but-I-don’t-fuckingcare perseverance of “Muted,”

One of the Fall’s more appealing features is the rather he@ task put to any potential listeners and fm. But it’s not all hard work. The lyrics to “‘I&s vulture ans ein flutter wein,” are simply the title of the song repeated over and over. What does it mean? I don’t know, but the bass line will blow your brains out. The obligatory covers are as puzzling as always. Johnny Paycheck (he of Take This Job and Shove It” fame) gets a turn on “Stay Away (Old White Train)” which, surprisingly, has producer Mike Bennet singing lead vocals. The return of Brix is welcome, although she only shares co-writing credits on two tracks“Spinetrack” carries with it some not inconsiderable momentum and demonstrates her proven ability to bring some pop sensibility to the band, smoothing out some of the rougher edges. The obligatory noise track that appears on virtualiy every Fall alburn (and I do mean noise) is followed by the previously released “Chisellers”-a driving, nerve-wracking track that adds yet one more title to the list of truly classic Fall songs. The Fall’s frontman Mark Smith adheres strictly to The Fall’s motto of always moving forward and never looking back. On the lig;bttisersyndrme, he proves how well that formula works. fare, you know, “My girlfriend left me and my pickup truck broke down. ..” except worse. More along the lines of Y’ve aIways been alone and 1 used to look in magazines at pictures of nice pickup trucks that I wished I codd &ord but I can’t anymore because my house burned down and I lost everything.” And while, within the genre, the music is OK (I guess), the singing is flat and toneless and the Hell Billys don’t seem to have a lot of respect for ideas like rhyme or rhythm. And, since I promised someone, I’ll tell all of you who did answer yes at the beginning, that the Hell Billys will be at Mrs. Robinson’s on Saturday, Sept. 28,. Uh, I think I have to wash my hair or something.

these are solidly written and performed songs of innovative hardcore w. The album reaches a true high pint with the late track “Failure,” combining a gut-pounding bass riff, ear-bleed guitar, and an almost sing-along chorus into a slick, hard rush of sound. Unfortunately, it’s downhill from there for the last two tracks. The final song, Xiss it Goodbye,” should never have been included on this otherwise great album. Cloying and syrupy, it’s like closing a Mad Max movie with a Brady Bunch episode. Luckily, it’s at the end of the album, making it easy to skip.

IMPRINT,

by Rob Van Kkuistum Imprint staff uJesus cured the blind man so he could see the evils of the world” is the first line you hear upon playing this, the second album by Me’Shell Ndegeocello (pronouncedN-day-gay-o-cello). Ndegeocello is a Swahili word meaning “free like a bird” and Me’Shell takes fU advantage of her artistic freedom by sending her audience on a deeply spiritual and intellectual journey through a world created from her own personal experiences with people she has encountered in her life. Anyone who has heard her first effort, PhtuthLullabies, is sure to remember the pessimism that she fek toward this world. She continues to boldly state her opinions on issues such as homophobia, racism, religious narrowmindedness, and hypocrisy over the first halfof this album in songs such as ccLeviticus: Faggot,““The Way,” and UDeuteronomy: Niggerman.” Refreshingly, however, she manages to pull you out of her dismal worldview over the second half of this release where she that

expresses a purely spiritual joy in songs such as “Stay” and ‘A Tear and a Smile.” Coming through strongly on this CD is Me’Shell’s dynamic bass playing. She fills the album with slow- to mid-tempo grooves structured from a mixture ofjazz, fur& pop, hip-hop, and rock styles; it wasn’t long until my head was gently bobbin’ to the beat. Her lyrics also contained a range of styles from spoken, throaty vocals to a soft crooning which added to the seriousness and boldness of the lyrics themselves. I will be the first to admit that I hate musicians that preach to their audience. If I wanted a sermon, I’d ask for a sermon. But being on Madonna’s Maverick label, Me’Shell was given the artistic and personal freedom she needed to express her provocative views with a brutal honesty which was neither preachy nor bludgconing. I found I could empathize with her lyrics and still enjoy the music, which has been growing on me steadily since I first listened to the album.
