ANTICHRIST Mad n Manson x arehouse Tuesday, October 22 by James

ut Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson together, what do you get? “Shock-rock”? The Alice Cooper of P the ‘9Os? The voice of yet another generation of disenfranchised youth? Pseudo-industrial hype bullshit, comprised of fa more style than substance? Not an easy question. I’ve got aLl their &urm and seen them twice, and all I can say is, uh, all of the above? Touring to promote their latest release,Antichist Superstar, Marilyn and the boys from Ft. Lauderdale screeched their way into the Warehouse for a show that soId out in less than half an hour. If there is one band that ever proved the rule there is no such thing as bad press, this is it. As if having a lead singer ordained in the church of Satan wasn’t enough, the Reverend has gotten just a I little press for such stage antics as cutting his stomach with a broken beer bottle, pull- q ing miscellaneous items from his anus, and performing oral sex. But he’s much better now. If you saw Marilyn on Mu&Music Monday (and if you could sit through the intensely boring social commentary from the panel of retards), you’d have seen him explain that self-mutilation is something he grew out of. With the move into the mainstream (or perhaps because of it) the band has matured. Gone is the paedophilic between-songs banter. Gone is the stage violence (Manson once almost killed a band member on stage by hitting him over the head with a keyboard). Now Marilyn Manson impresses the crowd with anexcellent light show (very reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails, which isn’t that surprising, considering Marilyn Manson was the first band signed to Reznor’s Nothing Records and Trent had a ftirly big hand in the productiun of Antichrist Supmtiu~ ), props (a pulpit with the devil’s tail logo on it), a high intensity show, and solid music. The lights went out and the silence was broken only by the hissing of the smoke machines. As the red backlighting came up, the black silhouette of Marilyn Manson greeted the screaming crowd. Say what you will about overblown rock posturing; the kids love it. Marilyn (clad in what appeared to be lingerie equipped with straps and buckles)

and the band immediately proceeded with an intense barrage of, well, whatever you want to call their music. Industrial-pop? Shock-rock? I don’t know. But it was serious. They bashed out the first six or seven songs almost as one continuous wall of fmgernails-on-chalkboard sound. With a painted stained glass window backdrop, Marilyn doused himself in water, whipped his jet-black hair around, and stripped off his white gloves before throwing them to the crowd. Working through Ant&& Szrperstar as well as some older stufE, some of the highlights were “Cryptorchid,” “The Refleeting God,” and naturally, “Antichrist Superstar.” It goes without saying that the crowd loved ‘<Sweet Dreams,” the Eurythmics cover from Smells Like Children, and the first single from Antichrist, ‘The Beautiful People .” Marilyn Manson ti a lot of stage show, but I don’t think that this F lessens their appeal. I don’t want to go to a show and see P a bunch of people ptaying exactly what I can hear on my stereo. I want it spiced v up, and if that means thrashing, strobe lights, -. throwing a bible into the crowd and pounding the microphone on your chest (all of br) _ which happened), so be** it. Reli_ w gious zealots, count your blessings; when Marilyn Manson played Salt Lake City, Manson tore up a copy of the Book of Mormon on stage. SaidMarilyn afterwards, “you gotta do what you gotta do.” It was a really good show. Both a solid musical performance, and a cool stage act that, love it or hate it, is undisputably rivet&g. I’m not sure what else to say about the band. What can you say about a guy that lists Alice Cooper, Anton LaVeyfi& Willie Wonka as being among his childhood heroes? About a guy that responds to a question about a body cavity search at Pearson International by saying “I told them not to wear gloves .“? Despite the Manson credo ‘We love hate,” there was a little goodwill at the show. One lady I spoke to had driven her 15 year-old daughter to the show and had been hanging around outside until the bouncers invited her in to see the show, for free. Was she worried about what she might see? No. She was more concerned about the fact that it was a schooi night. I coukln’t agree mure. To alI the critics blathering on about how Manson is promoting self-mutilation and Satanism, shut the helI up. It’s just a rock band, guys. Chill out, shave your eyebrows and enjoy the show.

and

here was no previous finding against him that was relevant to the adjudication.” That was UW President James Downey’s statement concerning a former ERS student who came forward toImprintwith information that she had testified to a 1987 committee with allegations ofsexual harassment against former UW professor Sehdev Kumar. Her claims came seven years before last year’s incident which resulted in disciplinary action against Kumar. In the fall of 1987, after participating in the IFSI? (India Field Study Program) sponsored by the ERS Department and led by professor Kumar, a number of the participants approached members of the ERS faculty with complaints about Kumar’s behaviour during the trip. Weeks asker the students returned in 1987, a committee was formed of ERS faculty members Greg Michaienko, Mieke Kesik-Delfgaauw, Sally Lerner and chaired by George Francis. The cornmi&ee’s role was to look into logistical and academic concerns and grievances brought forth by the students. Many of the 1987 IFSP participants volunteered to testif;, before this committee and voice their compbints. A final report was issued to the Dean that contained the committee’s findings and recommendations. The report was unavailable toImprint. One of the IFSP participants who testified before the 1987 committee later submitted a letter to Dr. Jeanne Kay, Dean of Environmental Studies, datedNovember 24,1995 as a follow-up to the 1987 inquiry. In the letter, Stephanie

(not her real name) described her experiences on the trip. She alleged that Kumar assaulted her in a restaurant in Rajasthan, striking her with an open hand on the right arm and breast, and shouting “why aren’t you wearing a bra?” There were frequent Ccc~nfWsn benveen Kumar and the other students, some dealing with the funds that they had collectively entrusted to him. Kumar is also alleged to have had a consensual, extra-marital afftir with one of the female students on the trip.

notes “Dr. Kumar’s demeanour towards you and several of the other students was, in my opinion, excessively angry, emotional, and personal and thus unprofessional” and “Dr. Kumar’s open sexual relationship with a female student enrolled in the course was unprofessional, in showing a lack of judgement and sensitivity towards the other students, and by involving him in a potential conflict of interest. The Department attempted to mitigate the latter [in 19881, however, by having another professor grade the young woman’s final project.” In 1995, Imprint ran a series of stories following a number ofallegations ofprofessional misconduct by ’ former UW Environment and Resource Studies professor Sehdev Kumar. The allegations were brought forward by students who had participated in a trip to India through C-CHEC (Canada-Commonwealth Human Ecology Council). Among the students’ grievances at the time were questions surrounding academic credit for the trip, and Kumar’s financial accounting of expenses. The most serious allegations against Kumar were two claims of sexual harassment made by a female member of the group. The incidents are s&d to have occurred during a hike through the Himalayas. Last year Jeanne Kay, Dean of ERS, decided that the 1995 allegations were serious enough to warrant dismissal, and petitioned the Board of Governors to begin dismissal proceedings against Professor Kumar. President Downey was subsequently elected by the Board of Governors as a “committee of one” to look into the allegations, establish their validity, and decide on an

In her reply to Stephanie’s statement, Kay wrote in a letter dated September 17,1996 ccIhave concluded, consistent with material reported by the committee in 1988, that Professor Kumar did strike you on February 3,198 7 which was completely improper. His intrusive comment at the time about your clothing seemsto have been an inappropriate attetipt to enforce modest dress, in order to protect female students from harassment in public.” In regards to other complaints about Dr. Kumar, Kay

Feds visit Advisory Panel l

byStepha.GaBunka special to Imprint

seven person delegation from UW participated last Thursday in Hamilton in the fourth of seven public onsultations hosted by the Advisory Panel on Future Directions for Post-Secondary Education in Ontario. The Advisory Panel organized the hearings to obtain public input before formulating recommendations to the Minister of Education and training John Snobelen, who plans to restructure the policy framework that regulates Ontario’s post-secondary institutions. Also involved in the one and one half hour roundtable discussions was a six person contingent from Sheridan College in Oakville, and the appointed Advisory Panel members. The acting president of Sheridan College laid out a number of specific proposals ranging from the development of academically enforceable standards starting in elementary school, to greater autonomy for at least their college, particularly with respect to their capacity to customize programs in return for royalties &om interested

corporations. Offering their school to be the “creative guinea pig” for the province, the administration of Sheridan Mieve that they could succeed with less governmental funding if they were to organize themselves more like a private enterprise. WV president Dr. James Downey, not having yet prepared his written brief listing UWs recommendations for the Panel, used the opportunity to lament the deterioration of post-secondary institutions in the recent past. He then proceeded to implore that stable and reasonable funding be provided, this being the “only hope” for Ontario’s schools, Insisting that continued accessibility to education is dependent on economic bounds set by the government,eDowney also suggested that more flexibility in grant and fee regulations is crucial ifthe quality of education is to improve and schools are to remain competitive with the private sector in atracting stafX He then suggested that student demand for programs would be a rational mechanism for setting tuition fees. UW faculty association president Ian Macdonald augmented Downey’s discourse regarding the need for govemmental involvement in higher education, cautioning that it

is unreasonable to ever expect students’ fees to replace public funding. Furthermore, justifying tuition increases by concurrent implementation of an income contingent loan repayment program is superficial, Macdonald suggested, as the intended objective is already carried out by the tax system. Thestudentrepresentatives from both UWand Sheridan were also given a short opportunity to speak. Feds V.P. Education Kelly Foley drew attention to the fact that, despite all of the momentum to restructure post-secondary educational funding, still nobody has yet adequately addressed the more fundamental auestionofwhether students shozcldbe paying for their edu&ion, or if they are going to be asked to pay more because they can. - The discussions ended promptly after the designated oneandahalfhours, havingcentredlargelyondarifjringthe details of Sheridan’s proposaIs. The panel’s decision to pair up a college and a University at the r&.ndtable discussions proved to be inconvenient, asthe different go* of the two institutions left them with little to collaborate on, The final hearing will be on October 31, and the Panel is scheduled to report by December 15 to the Minister of Education.

lth university financial raml~becoming an urgent reality, innovative ways of meeting such challenges are emerging. One hotable option which the Federation of Students wili be voting on at the Cktober27students’councilmeeting is a proposal to advocate charging different fees for different programsp The Feds’ recommendations will be submitted at the end ofthe month to the Ontario government’s Advisory Panel on the Future ofPost-Secondary Education. This option would diverge from current practices, where policy has regulated thar students from all faculties are charged similar tuition. The two commonly cited reasons for such a proposal are that the costs of de&&g programs varies widely, as does the earning potential of graduates from different programs. The primary inherent diffrculty in such a scheme centers around the diff~ulty of determining the true cost of a program. In the first place, present accounting methods are not in place to comparatively compile program costs.

The Ontario government has in the past provided fkndinggrants on a per student basis, for up to a set number of students, only ifthe student is charged tuition at a level that falls within a narrow, predetermined range. As a result of this tiding structure, there have until now been few attempts to evaluate the costs of delivering each program. While the expenses of each faculty are documented, the expense of a program differs from the cost in that clearly aH fLnds allocated for a program will be spent, but the quantity ofallocated funds do not necessarily reflect what is required to provide comparable quality of program. Furthermore, attempts to quantifjrthe cost of delivering each program would be wrought with value judgments that may elude consensus. Federation of Students VP Education Kelly Foley has draked three versions of the paper that will soon be submitted to the Advisory Panel, two in favor ofcharging differential fees, and one opposed. Both of the pro-daerentiation proposals come with an unequivocal condition that their implementation be permitted only when an income contingent loan program is in place and working. In light of the many difflcul-

ties associated with fkshing out a scheme for determining tuition rates for different facultks, Foley is proposing one option that broadly advocates tuition fees differentiation between disciplines, leaving the details either to the eoverkent or to the individual Eniversity. The second proposal supports such differentiation exclusively for certain professional programs, which for W would include optometry and accounting. In no instance are the Feds advocating that tuition be tied to graduates’ expected income, citing that this would be both unfair anvdimpractical. Assuming that the enlightened administration of UW have adequately resolved the value questions associated with the cost of deliveringprograms here, and have allocated funds accordingly, current expenditures on each program tiay be of interest. Taken from the UWFinancial Statements and enrollment statistics supplied by the registrar’s office for 94-95, the following figures provide some insight ineo current-estimates of pro&-am costs at the school. Keeping in mind thar the expense allocations within each faculty are not identical, these figures allow for only a rough appraisal.

Answer the employers questions in a clear and concise manner. That is, don’t ramble on about a topic that has no relevance to the question. You’ll only be wasting your time and the employer%. As well, try not to use filler phrases such as ‘W and %h.” These will detract from the impression you make. It is important to learn to be comfortable with the natural pauses and silences and not feel the need to fill every moment with sound. Employers are also impressed when you show an interest in the position. By this, I mean that you have done more than just show up at thi: interview. There are resources available to vou in the Career Resource Centre such as annual reports. Using this information, you can probably come up with some intelligent questions about the company, the people and their products. Even showing a personal interest in what the interviewer does and what they think of the work they do will be of benefit to you. A point that many students overlook is the group interview. Its easy to think that you’ve got a lot of other committments and that you won’t miss much by skipping out on the group interview.

Many employers, however, use this time to give out general information about the position and talk about the job that you’ll be doing. It’s an opportunity for you to ask general questions about the work environment and what vou’ll be doing, how you’ll enjoy working there and so on. By skipping the group interview, you’ll miss this valuable information and may have to ask questions about it in the general interview. As well, even ifthey don’t take attendance per se, many employers will certainly notice if you haven’t attended their group session. By not showing enough interest to make it to the group interview, this can be taken as a general lack of interest in the job and will have a negative effect. By keeping these points in mind, you can have more effective interview skills and be more assured that you’ll be invited to work for the company that you want to work for. Feedback and comments can be sent to sac@undergrad. math.uwaterloo.ca, or posted to uw.coop.sac. If you’re interested in helping with Students Advising C-o-op, SAC meets every Tuesday at 5: 30pm in Needles Hall 1030.

appropriate penalty, if one was warranted. On October 30, 1995, Downey issued a letter to the UW community explaining his investigation tit0 the allegations and his decision on the matter, In his letter, Downey stated: 7 too found [the complainant] to be credible and accepted her recollection of the events? Rather than dismissal, Downey decided to “impose upon Professor Kumar a penalty of six months’ salary effective July 1, 1995.” Downey said that following ccconsultation with a number ofpeople, including Professor Sally Lemer, Chair ofEnvironment and Resource Studies, I was satisfied that Professor Kumar posed no threat of further behaviour of this sort towards students .” Downey toldImprintthat he was aware of the 1988 report and its recommendations, but found that the complaints were not’relevant to his adjudication. Downey added, “He had not been judged guilty of sexual harassment before 1994.” Furthermore,

“Professor

Kumar was also put on notice for the duration of his employment at the University that any fitrther substantiated allegation of sexual harassment would result in his dismissal. [Kumar] was also prohibited from conduction of any

icrosoffs blitzkrieg continues next month with plans to relaunch last year’s Ynternet . ec,” the Microsoft Network (MSN). This isn’t really news itself, but the format that Microsofr. has chosen is an interesting one: Microsoffs version of the Internet looks a lot like TV. MSN wasn’t exactly a flop last year; 1.6 million people still thought it wasworth subscribing to, but that’s a far cry &om the 4 million subscribersto Compuserve or the 6 million people on AOL. This time, Microsoft hopes to attractmore userswith a format that computer neophytes wiil understand. Six merent channelswill, Microsoft believes,help computer users make senseof the plethora of choices offered to internauts who apparently don’t know how to use AltaVista, Channel I offers MSN subscribers access to Microsoffs unholy union with NBC (MSNBC), channel 2 offers arts and cultural commentary including the pretentious cyberzine3&e. (For a good laugh, checkout www.stale.com. Z’Zatiscomedy) The other channels wiIl cover everything from health and lifestyle issuesto comedy to further web education. Although the idea has some merit, it: won’t work. The Internet isn’t T.V. and not even Bill Gatescan force ~esquarepegoff.V.intotheroundholeofthenet.New technology shaped to look like old technology will ease the transition for luddites and, unlike the original MSN, the new version allows accessto the web rather than just Microsoff s universe. But lets be real: you just know that Microsoffs got some hard number in mind, and assoon as they%egot that number ofsubscribers they’ll yank the plug on anyth$ they don’t have 100% control over. HowlongwillusersremainblissfUyunawareofthe world not under Microsoffs thumb? Not long, according to Anchordesk, a web page devoted to news about the so&are industry.

The question arises,is this a short term trend? It’s diEcult to say, but even the most obtuse student must realize that computer technology is becon@ cheaper as it gets better. We may not yet be in rhe era of Cray supercomputers that fit in your pOdret that only cost $2935, but it is becoming increasingly cheaper (not to mention easier) to allow individuals to possesstheir own servers,A massivecable of fibre optics spanning the globe may still be the holy grail to cure the bandwith problem, but who cao predict what the effect of satellite communication or applications which allow for high speedzipping and tipping over conventiod lines? Add to this the fact that conventional media have shown a tendenq towards prol.&ration, not mofiopoly.

Need

it all

To the Editor, During our years at the Unversity of Waterloo we were among the many who grumbled about the university’s “poor” administration at “Needless Hell? We never thought that we’d ever say this but now that we attend another major Ontario university, which shall remain nameless, we have a new and profound respect for UW% administration. It is true that you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. To all those at Needles Hall: We salute you!

Herr Steden mistaken To the E&m,

Mr. Klaus Steden really seems to have missed the point about what occurred during the German Revolution of the 1920s and 1930s. Adolf Hitler, along with the Ml support of the German people, worked proudly and happily together with them to do precisely what Stedcn wishes the crippled Western democracies could do - but are completely impotent to do: give the government back to tlwpeqfk The brownshirts he mentions were there to help the German people regain control of their country and take it out of the hands of powerful non-Germans, who were stealing the German birthright and corrupting the nation, virtually controlling the media, the professions and the arts. The brownshirts were there so that German men and women could once again have freedom of expression, and be free to assemble and speak their views without their meetings being interrupted by foreign booligans and thugs. As per usual, he propagates the same shop-worn lies about that period of history that the rest of the professional propagandists love to dish out, and remains conveniently silent about the real reasons and the root causes of why the German people rose up, banded together, and freely elected Adolf Hitler their Chancellor. If Mr. Steden were familiar with the me history, he’d know that Hitler was disgusted by precisely the type of “professional” politician that Steden also abhors the type who collects a fat paycheque while doing notig for his people or his nation. In his book “Mein Kampf,” Hitler specifically describes the farce of observing the Austrian Lcparliamentary politicians” of hiserascurrying about, accompIishi.ng nothing except listening to the sound of their own pompous voices, much like those uselessMI?s Steden ridicules. He always realized that being a “politician” was not a mere “job” but a holy calling, and thatonly those who were of the highest calibre were fit for such a ‘&job.” Indeed, blood tiU run in the streets again, because our nations have once again

(as in the time of Germany) been taken over by internationalist scum, foreign invaders, and those whose agendas have nothing to do with the people, but with a One World Government, led by disgusting creatures such as Bill Clinton and his ilk. Let’s hope Steden finds a handy place to hide during the upcoming revolution. He’ll need it.

What with

do we do Fed Hall?

To tie Editor, Last week’s letter (“Fed Hall Sucks”, Imprint October 18 ) drove home a point that’s been bandied about the Fed office for the past few months ‘YVhat are we going to do with Fed Hall?” Ten years ago, students voted “Yes” in a referendum to add $7,50 per term to their fees in order to pay for a new building that would be a nightclub and special events/concert venue. Back then, there was little or no competition for such a facility either as a bar (there was no Twist/Revolution, Lyric, Metropolis, etc.. .) orasaconcerthall(noVolcano,noStages...) The reality we now face is that it’s no longer financially viable to keep Fed Hall open just as a bar, This has been tried over the last few years, and the result has been hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses. As a result, the Federation of Students has been forced to respond to what the majority of students seem to want. Students don’t want a big nightclub on campus, and they will only go there ifthere is some kind of an event or concert going on. On those days when Fed isn’t booked for an on-campus event, it is booked out for weddings, banquets, etc..+ in order to help it break even. We have reached a point where student business alone cannot defray the $6000+/ month minimum (just for utilities, maintenance and janitorial) that Fed costs to opexate. Ifstudents suddenly start coming back to Fed Hall in droves, the Federation will change its tack and open the place the way they used to back when I got here (i.e. four days a week - and you had to get there early!). In the meantime, the Feds will respond to what students want now, and do our best to keep the place afloat so that it will always be there to serve students in whatever way they see fit in the future.

SACked

update on the Co-op Fee Review Cor-nmittee’s progress. I in&cated an interim report was mrthcoming and that we were in the process of reviewing a draft. Three days prior to publication, Chris Law forwarded me this information-depraved article. The article attacks a com.tr&tee the author apparently knows nothing about, a rep&t that has not even been publicly released, and SAC’s own student representatives, two of which are previous S&Z chairs and the major lobbiers who got the committee created in the first place. In his article, Mr. Goykhman ccnnplains that the Co-op Fee Committee took over six months before they produced a report. Since it took four years at the University of Waterloo before Mr. Goykhman joined SAC, became aware of the widely publicized SAC initiative or managed to form an incoherent public argument on the subject, it is no wonder that he has such little faith in the committee. Natalie Proctor and I, both previous SAC Chairs, lobbied hard for the past two years to make co-op fee review a top priority of the department. The lobbying resulted in committee membership that includes the (now retired) Associate Provost of Academic Affairs, an Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies for the Faculty of Mathematics, the Director of Co-op, the Director ofInstitutional Analysis and Planning, a Co-op Coordinator an$ three stu-

dent representatives. In his article, Mr. Goykhman naively promises “a guaranteed Co-op job, or your money back.” Let me play the devil’s advocate. Why should Co-op accept any individual whose resume can only attract Yvaiting tables at O’Tooles” jobs? If Coop guaranteed quality student employment then the students must guarantee quality student candidates, The Co-op department has little to no control on who gets into Coop. Consider the repercussions on screening if such a change took place. He implies that the Co-op Department should be a job placement agency and not a student employment marketplace. Contrary to his charmingly simplistic understanding, the distinction between these two concepts is not merely c(semantic.~ It is a fundamental conceptual Werence. To even pretend to take part in this debate, he needs to understand the difference. The first option implies that the Co-op Depament has a number of positions waiting to be filled. That the concept ofjob is static. The second recognizes that the marketplace is fluid and ever-changing. That jobs can change based on the individual. That opportunities come and go based on budgets, market needs and management whims. The first option gives the Co-op Department comDlete control over l

who works where. The second option recognizes and legitimizes the students’ right to choose. I do not believe that the vast majority of the student population is so ntive as to waive this right. I’m not sure Mr. Goykhman advocates this position. He apparently cannot distinguish the difference. For now, 1 am done playing the role of devil’s advocate. Mr. Goylchman, what you need to understand if you ever wish to achieve Coop-fee reform is that there are at least three distinct paradigms in operation: the students’, the administrations’, and the faculties’. Natalie Proctor, Jay Sung and I, as SAC student representatives have worked hard to understand this sophistication and yet still passionately forward the student perspective. SAC’s public flogging of its own representatives before even seeing the fma.I draft of the report displays a rabid ignorance. I truly hope that SAC’s public self-embarrassment does not reflect current SAC leadership. Natalie and I, aspast SAC Chairs, have worked too hard to build SAC up to see its reputation go down the toilet, Sincerely,

Abhortion wrong To the Editor,

Abortion has recently hit the pages of the Imprint, and I find that I can’t resist sharing an interesting bit of reasoning concerning this hotly debated issue. * The reasoning comes from Peter Kreeft’s bookE% Unabtied Socrates (Intervarsity Press 1983). (Peter Kreeft is professor of philosophy at Boston College.) Kreeft challenges the oftheard defense of abortion which could be dubbed the I-have-theright-to-control-every-part-ofmy-body argument (I will call it the body-part-controi argument, for short). The body-part-control argument runs as follows: woman has a right to abortion because (1) the fetus is part of a pregnant woman’s body and (2) every woman has the right to control her own body. Here is Kreeft’s reasoning against the body-part-control argument. First, assume (for the sake of observing logical consequences) that the first premise is To the Editor, true. That is,a.ssumethat the fetus is a part of the pregnant woman’s I regret that my last letter on body. the subject of abortion was brief Second, consider the logical and not as clear as I had hoped it relation of transitivity: If A is a to he. I most definitely do not partofB,andBisapartofC,then view women as “baby-making, A is a part of C, In other words, if frail, compliant females” (Rebecca a brick is a part of a wall, and the Hudson, “Men Impregnate,“Imwall is part of a house, then the print, October 18). brick is a part of that house. On the contrary, I have great Third,keepinmindtwofacts: respect for women, especially since most of my closest friends are (1) A woman has two feet; and (2) a fetus has two feet. female. Now, caremy consider the However, I do think it is a following: If a fetus’s two feet are tragedy that women today often feel pressure, from men and espe- a part of the fetus, and if the fetus is a part of a pregnant woman, cially from other women, to fmd a job and be a working woman.

Abortional rights

Friday, October 25, 1996 fetus is a part of the pregnant woman, then &E W.WW& has a penis (Think also about the possibility of male triplets) Since these absurdities follow logically from the assumed truth of the first premise (i.e. the fetus is part of a pregnant woman’s body), Kreeft concludes : ( 1) that the first premise is seriously problematic; and (2) that the body-part-control argument fails as a sound defense of the conciusion that women have the right to abortion. I am aware of the fact that there are utberarguments offered as a defense of abortion; nevertheless, I find it interesting that the body-part-control argument is so ofien used in spite of its strange implications.

Reality check Tu the Editor, The authors of the article, “Searchi.ng for Value” pose a question that their article seems to inadvertently answer. The article is a lament on the fact that certain businesses (and they are businesses regardless of the terminology used) are charging what they feel is disproportionate to the service provided. The UW Bookstore is first on the soap box. The author got a better deal at Coles for a course text. Buily for him! What a good consumer he is. However, did he buy all his texts at Coles? I’d wager no. Whether a single book is a better value at another store is of concern, but not terribly impor-

tant. The next business attacked is Brubaker’s. They ask, ‘<Does [their] profit lower the cost of their food?” My question is does it need to. The swarms of students at the register at noon are testament to their success1If a business is Making a steady profit why would they lower their prices? The frnai and most ludicrous example is the Apple II Hair Salon. Their argument rests on the fact that by virtue of their location they must necessarily respect the assumed student poverty (and ignorance) the authors purport. Their location has no hearing on l continued to page 11

their accountability. They rent a space like any other business. The fact that students pay $40 for a haircut is a function of their acceptance of the price as reasonable. The authors demand that these services show their value to students. Wrong. The onus is on the consumer to determine if a business is providing a service at a reasonable price and thus make a decision about spending their money.

there safely. This is my reality. Sometimes when I don’t do this and instead choose the Ubrave,n solitary path, I am yelled at, catcalled, and insulted. Luckily, unlike many of my friends, I have not been raped, punched, had my hair pulled out, or discovered someone masturbating in the bushes beside me. However, one night in September every year (for the past six years) I unite with hundreds (or thousands) of other women who have similar experiences, and we march and yell and scream against this life of fear that we are forced to lead. Being a man, you have no idea how empowering this is. Being a man, you cannot understand the kind offear that women feel when they are without the protection of other men. There are so many ways that a man can speak out against violence against women. Why does it offend you so much to be excluded from two or three hours of protest? Your reaction of disgust is totally unwarranted If you feel the need to speak out, Mr. Atwal, why don’t you hold your own co-ed or, better yet, “men only rally in support of

ending violence against women. I could thinlc of nothing better. As for your stereotypical rapist as “brain damaged cretins prowling the back alleyways of our street9, think again* Rape happens in the street and in the home, anytime. Rapists are somebody’s brother, father, son, spuse, or friend. They are lawyers, accountanti, doctors, and hippies. They are not always the freakish bogeyman. Further, no form of public protest is ever Leawaste of time,n asyou so kindly put it. Here, I am titid that you have missed the point. Yes, there are, they, men and women working together to stop violence. And no, maybe marching will never stop rape completely. However, marches are about being heard, about co* together with others who feel the same way and petinfl out. You, as an editor of a student newspaper, should understand this.

No,YouCan’tWatch!

Bisexuality is greatly misunderstood by both straights and gays alike. While I cannot presume to speak for all bisexual people, I can share my experience. Let’s begin with some definitions. Bisexuals arerzotheterosexuals out for some adventure. This is called bi-curiosity. While some homosexuals go through a wishy-washy stage where they claim to be bisexual before they’re ready to deaI with the implications of being completely gay, it does not necessarily follow that all bisexual people are therefore half in the closet. Bisexuality is about the irrelevance, and at the same time, the celebration of the human body. We do not fd in love with a person’s anatomy but rather with a person’s personality, mind, even soul. It’s about seeing beyond gender, sex, and cultural conditioning. It is ‘in outlaw sexuality because it kks with the comfort of labels. While many heterosexuals (especially men) claim to tolerate bisexuality, in reality a woman who truly loves, connects with, and lusts after women is extremely threatening. This column is probably the result of one too many guys saying: “GKA,

can I watch

sOmetie?”

after I come out to them. What is that? Could it possibly be made more degrading? I do not enjoy having the things I hold most precious reduced to the level of a circus-freak side-s how. The gay community can be just as bad.

There’s a mistrust of bisexuals and perhaps some resentment that we could live (almost) happily as heterosexuals. This insecurity is understandable in a community which is constantly being menaced and forced to justifjr itself, but it is nonetheless huti. Human sexuality is a specmum. Some people are extremely straight and some people are extremely gay. The vast majority of us however, fall somewhere in the middle. Human sexuality is not

static either. In my experience it fluctuates especially with emotional needs. Bisexuality actively overthrows the sexual dictatorship. Every day you assert the absurdity of culture assigning which bodies you can and cannot be with. Love knows no anatomical bounds. Love is about giving, exploring and creating together, which is not limited by body parts. I don’t know about you but I don’t fall in love with a person’s genitalia.

IThough I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The&Days of Protest” are a stuiid, goddam waste of time. Today, (Oct. 25) Pearson Airport may be shut down, inconveniencing theonemillion people who come through there daily. The TIC may be shut down, inconvemencing thel.2 mt’llian people who use it every day. To what end? Is Harris going to change anything because of these days of protest? I’ll tell you what I’d change. I,d change the stupid law that saysyou can’t fire people for striking. 2. I can’t believe the Globe and Mail considers i t news that Quebec’s sovereigntists agenda, repressive language laws (actually condemned by the UN), tid threats of yet another referendum are hurting the province’s economy. No shit, Sherlock. What company in their right mind would move &to such an environment? Not many evidently, to judge by Quebec’s high unempioyment rate. knd as for the ones that are still there? A lot of them are just calling it quits. Why try to do business in such an anti-English environment?

Shell is the dominant economic player in Nigeria, the backbone of the country5 most important commodity, and provides over 40% of the federal governments revenue. Oil, at the centre of the Nigerian economy, stands behind the succession of military regimes that have ruled the country. Critics charge that Shell is providing substantial capital to a repressive regime bent on suppressing internal dissent, particularly dissent directed against Shell, by whatever means necessary.

Jusdfy to me why people who eat their bran and jog should have to pay when some disgusting pig who’s only exercise is driving to the store to buy potatochips needs bypass surgery. I’m serious. Come on down and let me know why. Even if you don’t believe in full privatization, the current system is seriously flawed. Doctors get paid based on how many people they see. This may sound like a good method, but it leaves the door open for doctors to do a less-than-perf&t job in order to get more business. I do not mean to disparage the medical field here, I do believe that many doctors honestly and truly have their patients’ best interests at heart. But I’ve also seen doctors do quick, makeshift jobs and move along, content in the knowledge that the bill to the government will be in the mail in the morning. A proposal from Murray Enkin, a member of the Ontario Medical Reform Group, offers little hope. He wants to see a practice called “capitation” put into place. This would result in doctors getting paid based on the numbers of patients they are responsible for, not how many they see, Theoretically this will provide incentives for doctors to really make sure their patients are healthy, leaving them to do nothing and get paid. However, I’m just not sure how this will stop doctors from taking on huge numbers of patients and rushing them through like some of them do now.

They [the military] are going to arrest us all and execute us. All for Shell.,, Ironically, on the very same day, a leaked Security Task Force memo read, “Shell operations still impossible unless ruthless military operations are undertaken for smooth economic activities to commence.“The memo also recommends pressure on oil companies for kprompt, regular”

Her story inspired people at UW to form an Ogoni Support Working Group to help in an international campaign to pressure Shell to divest from Nigeria. Every litre of Shell gasoline sold in Canada generates profits for its Royal Dutch/Shell parent company - profits which fund Shell’s attempts to lobby against a Nigerian oil embargo and to continue its appalling practkes in Nigeria. Shell Canada is 78 percent owned by its parent company, Information pickets of Shell gas stations are being organized from now until the anniversary of the execution of Ken and the other Ogoni.

I saw the movie Baraka for the first time the other day, a movie that can only be described as a portrait of humanity. For those of you who haven’t seen it, it essentially takes images from around the world and setsthem to music. The images include native rituals in South America, bustling Asian metropolises, the ovens at Auschwitz, the oil fires from the Gulf War, and a miscellany of others. The images are juxtaposed in odd ways, and the film is often sped up for effect, with the effect achieved dependent on the individual viewer. It’s powerful stufE What’s best about it is that it offers no clear opinion, no clear interpretation. The viewer is left to interpret the images ashe or she sees fit, with very little interference from the filmmakers. It let’s you think for a moment unhindered and unbothered by someone else’s opinion. This is a refreshing change. While it may sound hypocritical Corning from a columnist, opinions get tiresome when they creep into everything and ref&e to leave an issue, idea, or image uritouched for even the shortest instant. But these days, having an opinion on something is frequently perceived as knowing something about it. Similarly, it is often interpreted as a sign of intelligence. Strong opinions may make a person more interesting (or frightening, depending on the situation) to talk to, but they do not necessarily indicate knowledge or intelligence. Rick Glutin,; columnis~for The G&e Maii, wrote recently that people no

This time it’s personal! Today I got my notice to repay my Ontario Student Loan. There is a tiny section on the upper right hand corner with all the particulars. I owe $13,480. They want me to pay $158.80 a month for ten years. Now, I’m 26. So when I’m thirtysix I will have paid for my B.E.S. Oh wait I forgot to mention, this was just my Ontario Student Loan. I also have Canada Student Loans but thankfully they don’t want that money for another year. I’m staring at the computer screen, trying to imagine why my B.E.S. is worth ten years ofdebt, I suppose if I get a decent job, I can increase my payments or I will be able to have investments sufficient to offset the interest on my ioan. Maybe. Reality, however, is that I made a choice not based on money, I chose to work for you, a choice I will never regret. Currently, although you do pay me a generous wage, my loan payment comprises 10% of my take home salary. That’s the 10% I am supposed to be saving to develop a decent retirement nesteggm Am I disclosing this personal information to solicit sympathy? Partially, I suppose, but I do have a higher purpose here. It’s a question of crucial importance. How far are we going to allow student debt to increase before we irreparably damage accessto post secondary education? Accessibility is crucial in two key ways. First, the government has a responsibility to ensure that post-secondary educal

telligence as I described above. I know I’ve done it a few times (at most, hopefully) in this space, and I’ll probably do it again. Obviously, ideas have to be built upon. However, it is often easier to make an intitial claim that is diffhlt to support and then move on from there, hoping your audience takes your word for it. It is tempting and sometimes valid to think that people will give you the benefit of the doubt because you’re already getting published. But it’s not a terribly honest way to write; you’re fooling yourself if you can’t support or aren’t willing to examine your own positions, and you’re doing your audience a disservice by preventing them from examining your arguments - especially when your arguments or ides are based on what you perceive to be fact. Returning toBaraka, the images were the facts, or where they weren’t, how they were distorted was readily apparent. Like any set of facts though, they were selected, which involves bias from the start. Again though, identifjling what is a fact and separating it from fiction and opinion is a refreshing change. At least, that’s my opinion. therant@~~~rint.~~at~~~o.ca

tion is accessible to all based solely on academic merit. The government assumed that responsibility voluntarily when it signed the Universal Declaratidn of Human Rights. Both at the federal and provincial levels, the commitment to this statement has been unilaterally mediocre. Beyond a few petfunctory tokens of lip service, government has done nothing to change a system they admit doesn’t work. To borrow Alex Usher’s joke, in effect, the governinent spends millions of dollars to reinforce inequities: “Karl Marx would have a field day.” Perhaps you find notions of providing accessibility unnecessarily altruistic. I would argue that we are reaching a threshold. On the other side of the threshold, it is not wmthpivg to univtmdy. This is extremely dangerous because in order to sustain an industrial&d nation its citizens must be educated. If you don’t believe me then you can come and borrow my Economics and Political Science text books.

Loose Cannons Exploring the individuals who have made crime famous in the 20th Century by Tim Bondarenko Imprint staff 0 far the twentieth century has been bombarded with technological developments and riddled with internal and international warfare. We’ve sent men to the moon, produced mass amounts of nuclear weapons, introduced the world to television, computers, and almost every other electronic gizmo you can think of. This century has seen two World Wars, a series of ideological wars, and ofcourse, civil war. This seems to be the what most historians will write about when the century comes to a close four years from now. But with the advance of the twentieth century, crime has flourished, and society has seen an increase of individuals who have opted to take the law into their own hands and resolve personal issues violently, making their own hisrory. At the brink of the twentieth century, the region of White Chapel in London, England, was plagued by the murderous deeds of an unknown assailant, who through letters to the police, named himself Jack the Ripper. His victims were prostitutes, and like most serial killers, Jack the Ripper was ruthless towards his victims, sometimes disfiguring themtothepointwheretheycould barely be identified by police oficials. In all, tlq Ripper murdered six prostitutes,‘and was never apprehended for the crimes. The London police had no description of the man, nor did they have any plausible suspects. Jack the Ripper proved to the world that the individual was capable of killing out of twisted desires. The motives the Ripper had for the killings were unknown, and thus they seemed to be universal. In other words, the potential for any member of society to go crazy and begin to kill was becoming evident. The Ripper, it seems, was the seed for individual evil. Planted in

The “dirty thirties,” as they were nicked-named, were not only %rty%ecause of&e mass unemployment that hit North American nations, but also because they gave birth to the most notorious bank robbers in history. Names like Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, andMa Barker, all made headlines as they terrorized citizens of the United States with their notorious acts against society. But as time went on, these master criminals were hunted and eventually caught for the crimes they had committed. In most cases, the final showdown between the law and the offenders erupted in violence, like in the case of Ma Barker and her Boys, who entertained police with a 45 minute shoot-out at their ranch in Florida. With either the apprehension or deathofthae individuals, crime came to a blistering halt during thelatethirti~,a.ndwouldn’tserge into the headlines again until the late 1960s. But before then, the United States was periodically doused with individual crime that would not only make headlines, but make history. ‘In 1948, a convicted rapist named Caryl Chessman was sentenced to death for the two sexual acts he made young women perform for him. ThoughChessman’s acts can not be forgiven, the sentence ofdeath seemed a little harsh at the time. Chessman decided to fight for his right to live, and appealed the sentence on numerous occasions. The Chessman case was followed by thousands ofpeopie who supported the rapist, and in 1949 over two million people signed an international petitiondemanding Chessman’s clemency. Among them, scientist Albert Schweitzer, Roman Catholic Pope, Pius XXI, actor Marlon Brando, and ex-first

Chessman appealed the sentence for 12 years, and was given eight: stays of execution. But his efforts eventually fell short; he was executed on April 30,196O. During his I2-year stay on death row however, Chessman with an I.Q. of 136, wrote a book entitled Cell

2455, which almost overnight became a best-seller on the nonfiction charts. In 1957, the first reported case ofcannibalism and murder hit the headlines, which shocked millions of people throughout the world. It happened in Madisori, Wisconsin, where a 51 year old recluse named Ed Gein began grave robbing certain parts of selected cemeteries, The twisted Eein started collecting the bodies of dead women, and turned one part of his house into a human taxidermy centre. But astime grew on, Gein’s obsession with dead bodies grew to the point where he started to kill to get them. It was in these hellish deeds that Gein carved out pieces of his victims to be eaten on his dinner table. mer being apprehended in 1957, Gein spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital before he passed away of natural causes in 1984 at the age of seventy-eight. When the KhXk came around, they were not only times of bizarre &mind activity, but also times of internal political turmoil, caused by a series of assassinations that began with the death of JFK in 1963. During this decade aswell, the political assassinations of Robert Kennedy, Martin

Luther King Jr., and Malcom X, convinced the citizens of the United States that their country was heading toward civil war. To make matters worse, the decade was littered with criminals who brought murder into the communities in which they lived in. The first to do so was a man named Albert DeSalvo, DeSalvo was dubbed the uB~~ton Strangler” by the media, which seemed to give popularity to the murderer. During his life, DeSalvo claimed to have raped over 2000 women, and was reported to have sex with his wife at least five times a day. But doubt circulated throughout society whether or not DeSlavo was indeed the Boston Strangler. Though he never admitted to it, D&.lvo was nonetheless deemed dangerous to society and sent to jail in 1964, where he died, nine years later, after being stabbed over a drug deal. During the five years between DeSalvo’s madness and the Manson murders, a student at the University of Texas, named Charles Whitman gladly donated his name to the criminal hall of fame. Whitman, who as an architecture student, climbed the 300 foot bell tower at the University,

shortly tier noon on August the first, 1966, with evil intentions. Armed with three rifles and a shotgun, Whitman blasted his way to the observation level of the tower, stepped out onto the balcony, and began a killing spree which ended the lives of fifie& people, including one unborn child. The former alter boy, Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster was eventually gunned down by three daring Texas police officers, who climbed the tower and confronted Whitman on the balcony. The entire incident of United States criminal history lasted just 90 minutes, And then there’s Charles Manson, who in the late 1960% used his charismatic charm to convinced members of his cult-like family to commit murders within the Los Angeles community. One of their victims was the actress Sharon Tate, whom they killed while pregnant, killing the unborn child as well. Manson’s ultimate goal was to create a race war between the whites and blacks of America, and he claimed to be both Sacan and Christ, as well as Hitler’s incarnation. Manson, along with his family members were put to jail in 1972, or$

Evolution byMikeChwen ImprintStafF

volution is an essential part of the natural sciences,especially when you consider that it goes a long way towards explaining why we are who we are today, and why our race seems to be flourishing. As a result, it never ceasesto annoy me when I hear someone misrepresenting evolution, on either the pro or con side of the argument. Thus, I would like to clear the air on this subject, with an explanation, and two examples of natural selection. One of these examples took place 40 years ago, but the-other is taking place now,.. Shall we start with a definition? The simplest definition of evolution is that evolution is change, Change on a genetic level, mind you. This may sound like a simple definition, but it is surprisingly effective. Notice that the wording does not specify that the change has to be positive or negative. While this defmition is accurate, what people are often implying when they say (LEvolutionn is evolution by natural seiection. Evolution through natural selection can be summed up by the often overused phrase %rvival of the fittest.“Changes and variations arise in a population over time, and if a change arises that is a major benefit, then the organisms with this new characteristic will likely be able to out-compete other organisms. I do hope you’ll note that this is an extremely simplified deftition which ignores some situations, like the opportunity to take advantage of new territory or areas where there are no other animals. In spite of its simplicity it will suffice for now. Now, not all of these changes that arise prove to be immediately advantageous or disadvantageous. Some changes may give the species a new leg on life in hundreds of years, or may weaken the population the same way. Generally, it is impossible to tell for certain until the conditions arise, unless the change clearly weakens the organisms. My favorite example of natural selection can be seen in, of all things, the mosquito population. Back about twenty to thirty years ago, chemical insecticides were all the rage, and municipal governments were eagerly dumping monstrous levels of toxic substances into the Earth to deal with the scourge of mankind - the mosquito. Early sprayings were quite effective, and the populations of mosquitoes (not to mention birds) began to drop drastically. This was trumpeted asa triumph: Man over Nature, rah-rah. Funny how no one is cheering anymore. Why? It’s a simple caseof natural selection, or in this case, unnatural selection. In a population the size of the mosquitoes’, it was a guarantee that there would be a great deal of genetic variety. The thing is, nq one thought of the fact that this variety might include things such asimmunity to a chernical or two, such as DDT. In fact, these mutations - this genetic variety - had likely been around for hundreds of years. Once the spraying started the mosqui-

of a killer

toes began dying of6 but not completely. There were some mosquitoes that couid essentially bathe in these chemicals and come out smiling like Ed McMahon had just shown up at their doors with a ten million dollar cheque. Essentially, he had. You see, there is a huge amount of opportunity out there for mosquitoes when the population is, say, four million. Now if the population drops to 100,000 then those mosquitoes have free reign over a big area, and all of a sudden that nest in that old tire in the dump is in their price range, since the MacPhersons died out in the last spraying. Compare it to traffic - *ould you rather drive on the 401 with everyone at rush hour, or at three in the morning? Xfyou can ignore the time difference,. . I think you get the idea. Needless to say, the mosquito population rebounded with avengeme and, after a few year!, the birds were still dying from ex~uretoDM’butthemosquitoesseemed to be just fine. That was natural selection at work: the mosquito population had evolved

of-these changes, be they good or bad, played a major supportihg role in the spread of HIV, and AIDS as a consequence. This first reason may cause some cringing. If any one cficht is over-used, it is the reference to “Our modern fast-paced, jet-set lifestyle.” However, overused as it is, this plays a large part in disease transmission. After all, if you have members of various nations traveling halfivay around the globe every day then a disease that arises in one country is bound to travel rather quickly to another, then another;. This can be seen reasonably well in the movement of AIDS, or rather the lack of movement. Something that many people don’t know is that AIDS made its original appearance in two places at once. The area which many peopIe know about is that of the south-eastern U.S., more specifically San Francisco. The other area in which it spread rapidiy was in certain regions of Africa, ‘Why these two areas,” you ask. Well, they both had high riskgroups in their populations,andbothareaswereexposedto

to be resistant to a large number of chemicals that would have originally wiped out most of their population. This is speciation at work., and somewhat accelerated. Next time someone argues against evolution with you, feel free to bring up this example. Now, to move onto the second exatnple of natural selection, In recent years, amidst the various triumphs of science, some rather odd things have been coming up that pose some problems for us. More specifically, there have been some diseases appearing that seem to confound us and take advantage of the social structures of today3 societies. Imagine that, with our fmtastic technology, natural selection is still influencing us! One of these diseases of which I speak is, of course, AIDS. VVhile this may sound a tad morbid, the rise of AIDS is an interesting reflection of our society. Had AIDS arisen in, say the Middle Ages, what do you suppose would have happened? Very little, I suspect. Our society has changed quite a bit from then, and several

migratory types, be they field workers or businessmen, It’s better to look at the two groups individually, as there were some definite differences between them. San Francisco in the late seventies. This means very little to a generation that was all of about four or five at the time, but for the citizens of the era, late seventies San Francisco was the sexual revolution. Xt was seen asliberating in the homosexual community at the time to freely have sexwith other men. This somewhat free-wheeling attitude towards sex lead to multiple partner relationships and one night stands, at least for some of those swept up in the %volution? Sadly, while this liberation had positive psychological effects, safe sexpractices were hardly ever used at the time, and the physi-

Around the same time, AIDS was beginning to become a problem in Africa. Africa had a significant sex trade in the late seventies, and condoms were essentially unheard of, especially in remote villages. This was far before the large scale condom distributions that we can see all over the world today, and they simply wouldn’t have been considered as an option in many communities, including much of Africa. But in addition to the increase of multiple partner relationships in Mica, there was another factor which came in the guise ofhealing medicine from the industrialized nations. Needles - they seem so common to us, but they were only beginning to be widely distributed in many third world countries. Once they were given out, people ofien didn’t understand that they had to be vigorously cleaned before each use, A perfectly well meaning doctor or nurse would likely clean the needles at the end of each day, but not have any time in between patients. One HJV-infected child at the front of a line-up for vaccination could spell disaster, with no signs appearing until ten or more years later. So how did AIDS appear in these two places at once? The likely culprit is travel, and sexualencounters duringthevisit. Some members of the San Francisco communitv con&med that they had vacationed in Hai& where sexwas apparently a cheap commodity. The fact is that asmuch asyou may grate your teeth at the sound of this stale phrase, the world has become a “global village,” and diseases respect no border guards. Now there is one more factor that should be mentioned in AIDS transmission. I’ll be brief, as I’m sure everyone who ever listens to the news will have heard this before. Tainted blood products, and the global blood market. The blood product industry was in its infancy in the late seventies and early eighties, but it spread quickly. Who would have thought that an entirely new disease would be carried in these products, devastating the lives of hemophiliacs, and surgery patient-s) Certainly not the Red Cross and the Lke, who, in the early 19803, saw no reason to even heat-treat all of their products. This all leads to a rather obvious, but harsh conclusion. I m&e no judgments on any of the groups or phenomena that I just mentioned, but they all added up to a very promising scenario, at least as far as HIV was concerned. As a sexually transmitted disease, AIDS needs a sexually active population, which it found in Africa and South Eastern U.S., and which it has apparently also found in Tibet’s prostitution trade. AIDS can also be transmitted intravenously, and it found that opportunity in blood products, needle distribution in Africa, and i.v. drug use in the U.S. And AIDS still had m ace or two up its sleeve.

Thanks to a human tendency towards in-fighting on a grand scale, AIDS research was held back during the critical period of the disease’s emergence. So here we are, the newest potential victims of natural selection, Funny how we can study something like this, and afrer arguing about it for a few centuries, it can grab 0ur civilization by the neck and attempt to throttle it.

Viruses:

midst the tremendous flurry of “Horrible isease that can wipe out the worldll news stories that came out last year, you may have found yourselfwondering what exactly is a virus? And here it is - an article to answer all of your questions. According to Microbio&qgy, 2nd Edition, Prescott et al., a virus is “an infectious agent having a simple acellular organ&ation with a protein coat and a single type of nucleic acid, lacking independent metabolism, and reproducing only within living host cells.” Well how wildly helpful. Thanks for showing up, Prescott e&. - maybe next year, eh? But seriously, the definition makes sense... afier some explanation. Brace yourself; here comes the explanation : The critical parts to note in this defulition are the infection part, and that bit at the end about metabolism. What they are trying to say is that reaLly, a virus is a tiny bit ofgenetic material in a shell. To do anything other than sit around, a virus has to latch onto another normal cell, and spit its genetic stuffinto the cell. In short, a virus really isn’t even a living creature. This intriguing lifestyle lends itself to questions such as, where did viruses

come from, should they be eligible for welfare benefits and, well, why do they exist? To be honest, no one really knows where viruses came from. As was previously mentioned, they are simply genetic material in a wrapper and their main goal is to fmd a cell to stick this genetic material into. Now say this is one of your cells. What happens next is complex, but to simplify it, what essentially happens is that the genetic material that belongs in your cell is dissolved and replaced by the genetic material in the virus. This new viral genetic material hijacks your cell, and makes use of your cell’s natural structures to make loads of viruses. It only stops when the cell is so m that it bursts open, unleashing the little critters. Still with me? So the phrase “viruses are infectious agents” is simply a fancy way of saying that they aren’t technically alive, but they are still more complex than, say, a chemical. Tt’sa realiy interesting idea when you think about it: a non-living construction that can take control of your body’s cells and use them towards its ownevilends. Soundslikesomcthing you might see on an XF&J episode, really. Stay tuned, and next time we’ll talk about vaccines, and why there doesn’t seem to be one for AIDS at the present time...

being spared their life due to the fact that California had abolished the death penalty only years before. The prosecutor for the Mansoncase was Vincent Bugliosi, who in 1974 published the book Helter Skelter, which outlines the case perfectly. The first page on the inside cover reads: ‘The story you are about to read will scare the hell out of you?’ In the F?7O’s, more and more bizarre and violent crime hit the streets ofthe United States and the rest of the world, highlighted first by the “Son of Sam.” David Berkowitz turned his hatred towards women into murder in the summer of 1977 bv shooting people in parked cars. 1; all, Berkowitz killed six people and wounded five, before he was arrested. The LcSonofSam” blamed his murderous actions on his neighbour’s dog, Sam, who he claimed was reallykis father, telling him to kill. A year later, a sick and twisted member of society named John Wayne Gacy began murdering young boys in the greater Chicago area. Gacy would drive his car around Chicago looking for boys to abduct. Once the abduction had occurred, Gacy would drug the boys, perform sexactson them, then bAtally murder their assaulted bodies. After they wcrc dead, Gacy would bury the boys in the basement of his home. When Gacy was finally apprehended by the law, his house was searched &d excavated by police, where they found the bodies of 28

teenage boys. In all, Gacy admitted to killing 33 people, which earned him a spot on death row, where he remained until just recently. During the 1480s, headline crime in North America decreased somewhat fiomother decades.John Lennon was assassinated, Wayne Williams was arrested for the Atlanta child murders, John Delorean was tried for cocaine trafficking, and Dian Fossey was murdered in Africa, all within the ten year period. As well, President Ronald Regean had an assassnation attempt on his life, and a man by the name of James Oliver Huberty went berserk in Texas. Huberty had lost his job at the age of41 and decided to move to Texas where he thought he would find economic prosperity. He failed at a series of jobs in the small community of San Ysidro, which made Huberty angry with himself, and with socie-&. He decided to take revenge. On July l&1984, Huberty lefi his house with an array of weapons, and told his wife he was going “hunting for humans.“Not taking him seriously, Huberty’s wife watched him leave their house, never to return. Huberty travelled to the local McDonald’s, where he shot 40 people, killing 2 1. His life came to an end when members of the town’s SWAT team stormed the McDonald’s and shot Hubertv to death. So far this decade has had its ftir share of headline crime as well. We all remember the Waco

The

For our benefit, let’s hope the mass murder and violent crime ends with these isolated cases. For all the historians who will try and put this century together in the books they write, it only seems necessary to mention something about the extreme individual crime that has plagued these last one hundred years. The fdure to include crime in their documentation would distort the picture of this century, and consequently fail to demostrate when and where the individual went mad. But perhaps historians should choose not to record these horrific events, allowing humanity to forget the murderers that walked among us. Perhaps this increase in violent individual crime is telling us something. Perhaps it’s telling us we are evoiving too fast as a technological society, and that we need to slow down in order to presen’e the human mind. Maybe this was what Jack the Ripperwastryingtotellusthrough his actions in the final years of the nineteenth century. Obviously his message was not received.

ey’ve given Tuffy the most career coaching victories in CIAU history, beaten the WesternMustangs for the first time in 27 years, and coLlected the most wins in team history af& thrashing the University of Toronto Varsity Blues 30-5 last Saturday. For an encore? How about first place in the OUAA? The 6-l Waterloo Warriors can make a bit more history tomorrow in Toronto. Ifthcy d&at the 4-3 York University Yeomen, or ifthe Blues upset the also 6-l Western Mustangs, the Wzarriors will finish in first place for the fu-sCtime ever. By beating Western three weeks ,tgo, UW holds the tie-breaking edge. And that could mean homcfrcld advantage all the way to the Vanier Cup. With a first-place finish, the Warriors would be assured of home field up to and including the Yates Cup CKJAA title game on November 9. But University Stadium hosts a national semitinal game on Nov. 16 as well, pitting the OUAA champ against the winner of the Canada West conference, meaning that SkyDome would be the only outof-town stadium thev’il have to set eyes on. The Warriors saw their national ranking edge up to another

Tailback Jarrett Smith powered his way for 141 yards and hvo touchdowns on 22 carries, placekicker Arek Bigos became the team’s all-time leading scorer with three field goals and three converts, and the defence held the Blues to 152 net yards and interceptcd three passes. And for the first time in years, the Warriors have a special teams unit that is worthy of the poundingoffence andpunishingdefence characteristic of head coach Dave (Tufi~) Knight’s teams. fhat was one of our goals betixe the season started,” Knight Said. “For the first time in spring camp this year, we spent lots of time on special teams. Out ofour two-hour practice schcdulc, we spend 30 minutes on special teams *” More than three years after winning a place on the team as a training camp walk-on, Bigos booted 12 points to give him 166, surpassing Peter Tchir’s 164. Was he expecting such notorietv? “Certainlv not,” Rigo; said. “That was th; last thing on my mind. Qbviously, my hopes were to get a starting job and be able to play.”

Selected as a placekicker to the OUAA all-star team last season, Bigos’ surprising contribution this year has been as till-time punter. He leads the league with a 40.2 yards-per-punt average. “I wouldn’t say that we are a better team this year,” Bigos said. “I think we had a strong team for the past two years. Especially two years ago when we did not have a good punting game and it really hurt us. I’m not saying that punting is the cause of why we’re doing well this year, but it certainly helps. It’s one of those things that helps us put a complete package together ,” Special teams improvement has come on the other side aswell, with Andy McGregor, currently second in the OUAA, returning six punts for 65 yards. Toronto’s deepest penetration into Waterloo territory before the fourth quarter came when they could not convert a third down at UW’s 30-yard line late in the first half.

IMPRINT,

ast year at this time, the hockey Warriors limped out of the gate, lost their first two games, and their own captain admitted he didn’t like the outlook for the team. Chalking one up to hard work and positive thinking, Waterloo went on to win the Queen’s Cup and come within a jockstrap of a national championship. Well, lace ‘em up, ‘cos it’s that time again, and this season, the Warriors proved a little more Cigar-like, busting out of the gate with a 2-l overtime win over the Ryerson Rams and an 8-2 spanking of Brock last weekend at the Ice Field. fier last season, there are increased expectations for ‘969% Warrior coach Don McKee acknowledges that although the Warriors lose little in terms of number ofplayers graduated, they did lose quality. CcJohnwvnneysin Sweden this year after sighing a big contract,” observes McKee proudly of last year’s top Canadian University performer. “We’re looking for (fourth-year defenceman) Mark Cardiff to have a big year for us to help of&et the loss of Wynne.” Wynne is not the only player gone. Defenceman Brian He&y and high-sniping forward Sheldon Gilchrist have also bid their farewell to the ice at North Campus. “Brian Henry was the heart

and soul of this team last year,” insists LMcKee. “Henry punished people. This year, we think we may have that quality in (rearguard) Matt Pomeroy.” Also counted on heavily to shore up the hlueline will be the tandem of Sean Oliver. and the steady Chad Palmer. Marc Vaughan, a fourth-year, roadrunning forward who has never played defcnce in his life, has been converted to the D-side. Big things are expected from him by Coach McKee. Up front, the Legion of Doom line of Peter Brearley, team captain Steve Smith, and Jeff Goldie returns intact, ready to resume their world- beating ways. Veteran Chris Kraemer replaces Gilchrist on the Mike Chambers-Greg Esdale line, and another line to watch is the Speedy Gonzalez trioka of Dan McKinnon, Aaron Kenney, and Dan Mundell. Matt St. Germain will return to the lineup in January. Between the pipes, some healthy competition has arrived for veteran Warrior rubberblocker Joe Harris. Former OHLer Andy Adams, fresh from the Buffalo Sabres training camp in Rochester, adds a potent one-two punch to the goal-guarding duties. Addressing the situation, Coach McKee points out, “Against Rverson, Harris was voted playerlof-thegame by the team. Against Guelph, it was Adams. I think you’ll see, at least early on, we’ll

play the two on a rotationary basis.;, This weekend, the Warriors encounter a tough section of the schedule. I t’s character- building time. Western and Windsor. On the road, In the Far West, Coach McKee sees Windsor as the chaIlenge for Best of the West. “The Lancers are better than last season. Western dresses fourteen rookies in their line-up and will become better as the year goes on. Laurier has a good, hardworking team who’s going to surprise a few teams,” analyzes McKee. In last weekend’s action against the Rams, Peter Brearley scored both goals for the Good Guys, including the winner in o&time. In the win over Brock, Jeff Coidie carned a hat trick while Brearley complemented his linemate, earning four assists. Last season, the Warriors started slow and, after Christmas, transformed into a national powerhouse. After this season’s start, one can only hope they remember the formula from last year. With the Queen’s Cup trophy being presented to Athletic Director Judy McCrae this week, it will be locked away. M&x knows the key to the lock comes from within his players. “If we respect our competition, focus on our goals, and work hard to achieve them,” prophesizes McKee, “we have the potential to go a long way.”

opefLlly, no one caught pneumonia. In miserable, rainy weather at University Stadium hit weekend, the Waterloo Athenas’ field hockey squad closed out the regular portion of their season with a 3-O blanking of Guelph and a 5-O blitz over Queens. The Athenas finished impressiveiy again this year, accumulating an 1 l-4- 1 overall record, losing twice to each of the Metrobased league powerhouses, York and Toronto, and tying Queen’s early in the season. In the win over Guelph, Amy Adair played like the All-Canadian she is, scoring two goals and controlling the ball with expert skill and effective speed from her mid-field post. Bernice Wiliemse, who will be counted on to provide timely goal-scoring this weekend, also replied for the Athenas.

Against Queen’s, Willemse buried two goals, while Adair, Dawn Culverson, and lightning quick rookie Joanne Fernandes all whacked the round rubber past the frail Gaels keeper. Had the Athenas, three goal favourites over Guelph on the early line (I don’t think Pro Line will carry this matchup, however), banished the Gryphons to offseason oblivion in the quarterfinals on Thursday (results unavailable at press time), the Black and Gold will face the York Yeowomen this weekend in Toronto

York and Toronto represent formidable opponents indeed. With a head-to-head matchup to go (yep, results unavailable at press time), Toronto leads the world at 15-O and York is second at 14-1. Toronto has scored 99 goals this season, York 68. Toronto allowed two goals ALL season. So has York. In order for the Athenas to be successtil, the secret is, well, not

very secretive. “We have to beat both York and Toronto this weekend,” observesA’s coach Sharon Creelman. “That’s all there is to it.” Mer last season’ssuccess, this young Athena team still has nothing to lose. They are not favoured to win. All the pressure lies on the Mighty Two. If there is an upset in the making, it will be because the A’s become the sum of their parts. They are individualljl loaded in talent and arc prcsently*playing their best hockey at the best possible time. Just like last year. The fear of playing a “stacked house” hockey club like York or Toronto can provoke fear in any young club. However, there is one greater fear in every field hockey

player.

That

fear is of get-

ting sick. Not physically sick like pneumonia, but catching a bad case of the off-season blues afier being eliminated from the post season. The A’s don’t plan on catching anything this weekend. Except fire.

Still Kickin’ GeeHGeesnext for OttawaHboundAthenas, by Raelene Driscoll special to Imprint

ow does one summarize a team whose regular season onened with a 70 loss and closed Gy earning 78% of all possible points in the final quarter? The general consensus of the McMaster squad was ccthat’s not the same team we played before”. According to the Guelph coach, Waterloo were unlucky not to have come out on top,” referring to the game in which Waterloo were”outscored but not outplayed.” The Windsor coach exacted that there was no reason that the Athenas could not beat the Laurier Golden Hawks. But perhaps the Western coach put it best: Waterloo has certainly improved; I don’t want to meet up with them again!” Ofcourse, the Western coach was referring to a potential matchup at the OWXAA playoffs being held in Ottawa this weekend, at which the Athenas earned the right to play by upending Guelph in the race for the fourth and final playoffspot. What a race it was - the Athenas needed to win at least two of their three remaininggames tosurpass Guelph, who had 16 points. The trials the Athenas faced in those games went beyond simply playing so many impoftant games so close together. The first of the trials was facing the until-then-undefeated Laurier Golden Hawks. Laurier has quite a soccer legacy, including winning four national championships this decade, being the current defending champions, leading the OW West Division and being ranked fifih in the nation. Ofcourse, how could we forget the obvious - they’re our dearest riv&! It was a calmly co&dent Athena squad that presented itself on Oct. 16, to usurp the Hawks of the latter of their

two credits - and their undefeated status. In an evenly matched game, it was Waterloo who had the composure on the two brilliant breakaways to put the ball in the net. On one play, the adaptable Donya Daynard, this time playing the right wing-half, used her speed to take on Laurier’s left defence and goalkeeper, coolly netting the ball in the lower right corner. On a later play up the left wing, rookie striker Ingrid Green picked her way to the edge of the H-yard box. From there she released a through-ball to Heather “Gladiator” Moyse, who anticipated the actions of the keeper and pushed the ball past her into the awaiting net, The fmal score proved a 2-O victory for Waterlo& Riding on a high from defeating the numberlone seed in the Western Division, Waterloo were careful not to overestimate themselves in the game against Brock on Saturday. “Co&dent but not cocky” was their motto. It was not to be an evenly matched game, however, as the referee handed Waterloo 80 minutes of adversity. It began when the ref denied stopper Melissa Man&i, newly returned since her ACL reconstruction, the right to play with her knee brace. Waterloo made a very’ satisfactory lastminute substitution. However, they were still stunned by the ref’s judgement. This distrust of another of the refs calls resurfaced on ten minutes, when a colouti comment by a Waterlm defender, refuting the call, earned her a red card and instant ejection from the game, Waterloo were to play one man short for 80 minutes! Down one goal at the half, the Athenas had to reorganize their defensive strategy, as well as to try and put away two goals to come out ahead, And so, that’s exactly what they did. Although Brock had extra space afforded them by one more

player, Waterloo netminder Nicole Wight was all reflexes to keep the ball out of her goal. The scoring came in the middle of the second ha.K, as Moyse displayed incredible poise to beat several defenders and curve the bail into the net. The tiebreaker came shortly after, when Kim Rau got rowdy on a cocky Brock keeper jagging

her

net;

Rau

chipped the ball from deep and to the left in the 18-yard box just out of the keeper’s reach. When the final whistle blew, the shorthanded and exhausted Athena squad knew that they had overcome both Brock and adversity with this 2-1 victory. Circumstances had unfolded on Saturday in such a way that Waterloo had definitely earned a playoff spot, regardless of the outcome of the Western game the following day. That was no reason not to give it everything they had lefi - there were fans to please at Columbia Lake! The game became all the more exciting when Western opened scoring in the first half. As one Athena put it, ‘There is no position I would rather be in than down one goal at the half? This player must have fed on the nervous energy generated by the goal deficit, as she buried the equalizer in the Mustang net, once the ball came out of the mosh pit on a Mancini throwin. At the final whistle, this come-

back team looked at each other, acquiescing their l- 1 draw with Western and quietly registering their arrival among the strongholds of the conference. A few noteworthy facts: the Waterloo Athenas haven’t lost twice to any team, and were undefeated at home. The Athenas will challenge the top-ranked team in the East, the Ottawa Gee Gees on Friday, October 25, in their first OWIAA playoff appearance since 1992.

Just when I thought that things just couldn’t get tiy more stupid in the world of sports, I come across stories like the following two incidents that make me wonder just when the madness is going to stop. First, - reports out of Albuquerque have a young high school football player accused of brandishing a flesh-cutting weapon on his helmet that has cut at least five opposing players. The weapon of choice was a r-rsharp buckle on the top of the heImet, Now, what could possibly possess a person to do such an incredibly stupid thing? One of the ideas that you’re supposed to be learning in sports is to have respect for your opponents. That’s why you shouldn’t check somebody into the boards from behind in hockey. That’s why you shouldn’t intentionally throw a 90 mph pitch at the batter’s head in baseball. That’s why you shouldn’t attach sharp object, to your football helmet. You don’t do these things because they’re dangerous, and somebody

could get hurt. You don’t play sports to hurt somebody, you play sports to have, fun. If your fun involves hurting people, then you shouldn’t be playing sports at all. Very simply, the player is responsible for his equipment. The coach is responsible for the player. The father is responsible for the boy’s set of values. The schoo1 is responsible for the coach. Everyone must share the blame for this. However, someone must take the fall for what has happened, and in the end, it all boils down to the player. Sharp buckles just don’t magically appear out of nowhere. If the player can’t be trusted to play with respect for his fellow competitors, then he simply can’t be trusted to play at all. At least nobody died as a resuit ofone person’s stupidity. You would never figure that a game as civilized as golf would end up having a fatal cohontation bemeen two players. Well, picture this scenario. Man hits ball into creek. Man searches for ball in creek. Players behind the man get impatient and drive their balls,

which land very close to man and his son. Man is not impressed and confronts players coming up on him.Mantakesaswingataplayer. Player retaliates. Player then kicks man extremely hard in the chest, causing man’s death. Son watches as father dies and cowardly players run away. Think that this can’t happen? Well it did. The man was 51 and was enjoying a round of golf’with his son, one of the only things he lived for in life. The player was 26, obviously a young hothead, and eventually turned himself in to police. Why? Why does this have to happen? It was a senseless killing that resulted fern a senseless confkontation. Hopefully all those hard-core golfers out there will think twice next time before over-reacting to something as silly as slow play. This was just sheer stupidity born out of the tight-ass attitudes that seem to be all too prevalent in a supposedly “gentleman’s game? The rules of golf call for a penalty of two strokes for slow play, not the death penalty.

Though restricted to just over a hour, the guys still managed to pound out a number of older songs like “The Guitar,” “Spy,” and c4Constantinople,n plus a good bit of the Factmy Showroom repertoire including “Shoehorn with Teeth,” the f‘rrst single “S-E-X-XY,” and a cover of Cub’s “New York City.” 54-40’s entrance was easily the most pompous entrance 1have ever witnessed, and I think it endeared the group to me even more. With the audience chattering away, the sound system buz;ied briefly, then exploded into the THX YL’he Audience is Listening” crescendo before (and this was truly precious) the opening of the Star mrs theme reverberated through the ‘Dome. In darkness, 54-40 sauntered out, casually took up their instruments and launched into “Love You All.” It was simply magnificent. ’ With about three-quarters of an hour to play with, Neil, Phil, Matt and Brad slammed through ail their hits save one. Included were ‘0cea.n Pearl,” “Radio Luv Song,” “One Gun” and the closer, “She-la.” The one that wasn’t there? “1 Go Blind,” which has now become a Hootie staple.

They Might Be Giants were the openers, and also the reason I wanted to go in the first place. The Johns (Flansburgh and Linneii) are incredibly gifted musicians, and though I know the words to almost every TMBG song by heart, I’d never seen them live. Touting their newest effort, Fuctmy Sbmuoum, it was rather surprising to seethem opening for Hootie and the Blowfish. In light of their performance, I’m looking forward to seeing them next time they come to town. Musically, They Might Be Giants put on a great show.

Simply put, Hootie’s stage banter could re& use some work. Generally, I like’ it when bands chat up the crowd between songs. I’m almost insulted when they don’t. However, there’s a good way to do it, and the Hootie way. Musically, Hootie and the Blowfish played a solid two hour set, covering all of their hits and other songs that sound like their hits. For the first halfofthe show, they stayed pretty much true to form, playing almost straight-forward versions ofthe album tracks. It was just past the hour mark that they started to show signs of l&e* Hijacking the horn section from They Might Be Giants for ‘Hold My Hand,” they played a version that wavered between simple folk-rock and the theme from 2%~Price 2 &&bt. By far the most interesting selection was a cover of R.E.M.‘s ‘Green,” quite fairh11 to the original. For &e first encore, Hootie was joined by 54-40, but they didn’t play a duet on “I Go Blind.” They couldn’t, because Hootie had already played that earlier in the day. Instead they played an older 54-40 song, “Take My

Absolwtelv FABulous by

midst the slew of gay magazines, f?om racy to political, is Fd NiGhal, Canada’s newest magazine that caters to e Canadian homosexual. Fa& Null is the evolution ofF&Miguzine, a two-year-old Toronto-based publication which concentrates more on the entertainment side of the gay lifestyle. Fub Nutitmd boasts of being the frrst paid circulation magazinc targeted exclusively to the Canadian gay male. It does not focus on the more political side of homosexuality-instead its pages are dedicated to the more Qenjoyablen aspects of the gay lifestyle, like fashion and fitness. Fab M&-ma1 is published bimonthly as a colourful, glossy magazine. Its contributors and featured subjects are straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual. And yes, you guessed it-F& is short for fabulous. 1F7abNa$&mul publisher Michael Schwarz took time to talk to Imprint about where Fab came f?om and where it’s going. A lot of “gay” magazines contain a large number of 900number ads. In the premier issue of Fab, there is an obvious lack ofthese ads. Is that an issue or a mandate of Pab? You have to think about these brands: Versace clothing, Absolut Vodka and other brands. T mean,

these are brands that are very well established with excellent reputations. Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss Cologne, etc. They don’t want to be beside a phone sex ad. Fab has denounced targeting politicd issues. If something of substantiative political weight comes up, will Fab

forego this particular doctrine and cover the issue? We’re definitely not going to shy away from any of those issues. But, in terms of the focus of the magazine, no it’s not. There’s an evolution in the gay market, and that evolution is that in the mideighties to the late-eighties, everyihing was very political. The cause was AIDS, equal rights, and

a whole bunch of banners which r>eoDle uaraded under. ‘In +oronto, for example, the Pride celebrations evolved from being political demonstrations to really sort of being celebrations, and I think that’s the sort of a stage that the gay market’s in. There’s a level of maturity and young guys are growing up and saying: “I’m not really into politics, but I’m into being who I am, and enjoying life, and celebrating the group that I belong to? What do you mean by %.n evolution in the gay market”? Simply the evolution from politics or from a cause to a LifeA

idway through Tristan Pisonic’s set, Mark Milne posed a very good question. uHey, it’s great that all these people showed up,” he asked, CCbutwhy aren’t there any opening bands?” Good question, Mark-with only two bands on the bill, it would surely have been neither excessively inconvenient nor fmancially adverse for the Volcano to find a local opener. There surely is no shortage of’ bands in the KW area who would be willing to open for free, and bring a number of ticket-buying (and most importantly, beerbuying) friends along with them. It is, however, a Catch-22: the clubs don’t often book local openers because they don’t sell well, and the local scene has a hard time getting off the ground because it’s virtually unsupported. Next time, Volcano, let’s see a review of a local band in these opening paragraphs, okay? The question was natural for Tristan Psionic; few Canadian musicians have done

ARTS

as much to advance Canadian independent music asthey have. Sonic Unyon’s domination of the Ontario indie scene (bringing to life an entire subculture of teenagers) brought a lot of work with it. Tristan even delayed their own most recent album, PA ~4@280, to focus on supporting the label. Now they’re back to the business of being a band, with a new bassist, April Sabucco, serendipitously discovered via an old toque. Silently, Tristan Psionic took the stage and launched into “Air TrafEc Control.” The instrumental shows exactly what’s so great about Tristan Psionic: the band functions as a single unit, note-perfect through a complex series oflayered riffs and rhythms. It’s impossible to tell who’s doing what, or even if anyone’s doing any&ind-it all sounds too perfect to be real. A fifith band member, apparently, is April’s hair, which has a life of its own, flailing around midstage like a member of Trigger Happy. While I watch closely to see if the hair will free itself and attack the audience, Tristan are experimenting with dissonance, feedback, and extended melody. In a music world wheremqmt plays guitars, drums, and bass,it’s incredible that this band alone has discovered how to make their instruments sound like nothing you’ve ever heard.

Check out the single by The Strangulated Beat-Offs-now that’s music, man!” In an age when Imprint is already criticized for running too many reviews of "bands you’ve never heard of,” is it really necessary to start including reviews of “bands you’ve never heard of from thirty years ago? We& it’s not quite like that. If we can stretch the comparison, think about a retrospective on an athlete, or a look back at an historical event. Such examinations for a news or sports section are conducted for the purpose of emphasizing events or people in order to examine their effect on todays landscape in their respective fields. If we can accept that, we can accept that certain albums are worthy of similar emphasis. Which brings us to the Stooges’ Ftinbotise. The year is 1970, and the shockwaves of the Velvet Underground aren’t being totally ignored. John Cale has already produced the Stooges’ first album, which takes a back seat to this release only as far as the Stooges’ output is concerned. As great as that album was,the second half tended towards a similarity which, although great in a Ramones sort of way, was left behind in the musical quantum leap which is Ftinhmse. With only seven tracks, clocking in at just over half an hour, the Stooges revolutionized their own sound, and the sound of rock’n’roll. Let’s start at the begmning. This is the greatestopening riff to any album you have ever heard, bar none. That covers a lot ofground, to besure, but instrictly rock’n’roll terms, the sliding guitar that pounds relentlessly .

throughout the song is everything that “Satisfaction” is. The song also setsthe tone for the rest ofthe album: simple-as-simple-can-be guitar chords with liberal shots of feedback providing a sinister backdrop to Iggy Pop’s guttural moan/ shriek/shouts. This is hard, heavy, dirty music, as dirty as any garbagestrewn, needle-ridden alley in the Stooges’ hometown of Detroit. But it’s not heavy in that Led Zeppelin blues-through-aMarshall stack sense, because the Stooges don’t know enough blues to rip off. This is two/three chord stuff, with the wailing solos drenched in feedback to cover up the fact that none of them knew how to play their instruments in 1968. In the process&zhozlseis a revolution on par with Psych043&&-more so because the Stooges were doiq it a decade and a half before the Reid brothers, The shadow of “Sister Ray” hangs over the entire album, but only because that song effectively ended the peace and love sound of the 60s. That track not onlyestablished the VU as the great band they were, but ushered in the age of the MC& the Ramones, the Stooges and ultimately, punk. That being said, the entire album isn’t a constant barrage of

hemorrhaging guitars. “Dirt” slows things down (trust me, it has to) with a brooding bass Line accentuated with wah-washed guitars. Iggy manages to stop screaming long enough to sing through gritted teeth, threatening to explode into a primal scream at any second. The most inventive aspect of Funhouse is Steven Mackay’s tenor sax. It’s common for bands today to expand themselves outside the realm of guitar, bass and drums but imagine a saxophone m

Nmmind. There just isn’t room for a saxophone on those albums, asgreat asthey are, but the Stooges include Mackay’s free jazz shrieks as a matter of course. The album closes with “L.A. Blues,” which is as close as anarchy will ever come to being represented on an album. The closing track takes the previous halfhour of music, rips it apart, throws it back together, plays it backwards and then throws it up all over you. The impact of Ei&nhottsecan’t be underrated, Everyone who picks up a guitar and has Listened to anything recorded since feels its pull. Iggy Pop may be experiencing a renaissance thanks to a soundtrack, but his best work will always be the auditory revolution that began with Funhowe.

Depicting the lives of an educated middle-class couple in an American college town and their unusual assembly of casual acquaintances and beloved family members, Anotkrer Tou triumphantly highlights the disparities between our public and our private selves.

limited to the first half of the novel; chapter eighteen is as intriguing as chapter three. Peppered with personal letters, segments ofpoetty and lyrics to popular music, the technique of “round” character development in Another You is reminiscent of that in Margaret Laurence’s 7%~ Diviners. For readers familiar with the writings of Beattie, the style of Another Yotiwill be at once recognizable. She disconcertingiy rep-

In a 198s interview published in Am&can Literat24~eAfq@-zzilze,l3eatie explains that there is always something going on beneath the stiace in the lives of her characters, and those in Another 2%~ are no exception. Earlier critics have noted her ability as a social commentator, exploring the values and feelings attached to the baby boomer lifestyle. AU these elements are present in her most recent work. Those looking for a more subversive text may be disappointed with Another Yost. Nothing in its content accosts you. At no time did I feel assaulted by the characters or their actions. With lengthy sections of stream of consciousness, and frequent descriptive passages, the novel has a distinctly passive quality. However, one does feel a certain sense of unease regarding the social realism with which Ann Beattie confronts us. Not every character is nice, and as you delve beneath the surface of their public personas you will find something amiss at the core of middle class ftily values,

or those of you who fear going to local venues to check out bands you’ve never heard of before because you’ve been scared ofwasting your time and money, CKMS 100.3 FM has the perfect solution. Those of you who prefer to stay at home and have your Saturday night festivities enhanced by a live concert atmosphere should pay attention

too. For the eighth consecutive year, CKMS is delighted to present its semi-annual Live Radio Concert Series, airing Saturday nights at 1O:OO p.m. In the past, the series has proved a splendid success in inviting local and not-solocal talent into the studio to play live setsfrom CKMS’s professional Palindrome Studios. Artists and audiences alike enjoy the shows. Everyone’s a winner! Notable acts that have played in the past include Bob Wiseman of Blue Rodeo fame, Napoleon

Blownapart, Quiverleg, Claudia’s Cage, Don Kerr, the Fat Cats, Henry, and local guitar legend Paul McLeod. This year’s lineup is no less impressive. Just to note, the artists that have already performed this year include Wilt, My Neighbour Ned, and Wax Elvis. There are still three more concerts to take place over the next three weeks. Saturday, October 26 at 10 p.m., CKMS will be broadcasting a live session with Toronto area punk artists Dear Departed and guests SonsofBronto. Both bands appeared on the “Dead Man’s Tale” compilation (on Dear Departed’s RIP Records label) of Toronto punk artists. Should be an extremely interesting (andvery loud) listen! On Saturday November 2, tune into 100.3 FM to hear a double bill with F. Tyler Shaw and Scott Wicken. Many of you may recognize Shaw of Quiverleg f;une, who will be performing in the same, solo acoustic style that he has used in various local coffee

houses. Scott Wicken is a local and dynamic poet and musician, who has previously appeared on CKMS before. Look for his newly released CD “Something ‘Wicken This Way Comes. ” The final concert in the series will be on &&day, November 9 with the Scott B Sympathy. Scott B, a veteran of the Toronto Queen Street music scene and former member of Groovy Religion, will be performing with his new band The Sympathy, who have released two CDs-XTej/ rOti~~8 Stieet and Drinking With The Poet. Taking its inspiration from a folk/country/gee-tar influence, the Scott B. Sympathy should prove to be a quality Canadian act. So now you have a risk-free way to spend your Saturday night, enjoying great local live music. You don’t have to leave your house, you don’t have to pay COVers, and you don’t have to put up with cab rides and crowds. All you have to do is tune into CKMS 100.3 FM on Saturday night at 10 p.m. and enjoy!

by Sandy AtwaI Imprint staff In recent years, Neil Young seems to have ceased any sort of radical experimentation for a tried and true formula. This isn’t a criticism, because when Neil did try out something new (such as on T-nws, 7’7%~Note’s For Tbu or Arc’ lV8ld) he was only semi-succesti. Those albums had some great Neil Young songs, but they also had some shit ones. Broken Awm (as the title might suggest) is business asusual for Neil Young and Crazy Horse, and business is good. Relatively simple songs performed in a stripped-down garage-band style

certainly won’t disappoint Young fms. But this definitely isn’t a Neil-only album. Even moderate fans (such as myself) will still find this a rewarding work. It’s his guitar work that makes Brokm Arrow such a pleasure, but it’s not for any memorable riffs or blazing solos. It’s a more simple sound that chuggs along at a moderate pace, but it works. Three of the songs are over eight minutes, and are turned into extended jams, but Neil is such a proficient guitarist that he knows what type of song can last eight minutes. Brbktm Awow is Neil’s thirtyfirst album as a solo artist and he has proved himself remarkably prolific in this stage of his career. While BdwzAwuw really doesn’t provide anything new, Neil’s “formula” allows him to demonstrate that he remains an artist with solid songwriting ability and it’s hard to complain about that. ’

by Kieran Green Imprint staff It’s easy for a band like the LMahones-which has a good roster of old favourites and dedicated fans willing to hear them over and over again-to sit back on their laurels and stagnate. With Rise Quiti, though, the Mahones have again demonstrated their ability to stay fresh and deliver some of Canada’s best Celtic music. In some respects, Rise &fijti resembles the Mahones’ first album DF~I&-’ the Days. Both offer an excellent mix of fun, fast, high-energy Celticpunk and slower songs that evoke feelings of nostalgia. As always, much of the Mahones’ material revolves aroundthethemeofdrinkinguntil you fall over. “Paint the Town Red” and ‘Down in the Boozer are worthy successors to the classic Mahones drinking songs “Drinking in the USA” and “Drunken Night in Dublin.” The Streets of New York,” a slower piece and one of the many Mahones songs that so wonderfi.llly reflects the Irish irnrni-

Considering how many rules of pop that Guided By Voices break, it’s surprising anyone outside of their home town ofDayton knows who they are. The simple fact that they all but reject the notion of %ongs” is enough to set them apart from the pack.

by Ian Stevens special to Imprint I was first introduced to Ronny Jordan by means of a song called ‘The Jackal.” The tune featured a woman reminiscing about a man who “changed her life.,, Musically, the song wasn’t the greatest, but it had a funky appeal. In anticipation of something similar, I purchased Jordan’s 1993 release, T%e Q&et R~&uciopz, in hopes of more of the same. However, the album proved to contain little more than bland R&B tracks with some similarly bland hiphop/jazz hion. Jordan continues this excursion on his latest release, L&h To Dark, In the world of jazz, the guitar’s struggle for acceptance has been long and largely unrecognized, Listeners seem more ready to find interest in the superior dynamic range ofthe trumpet and saxophone. Few jazz guitarists feature prominently anywhere outside jazz circles.

Shou&r Voices was full of scary guitar noises put through a meat grinder (or something). Now Jimi has lefi the band, and a three piece outit consisting of Ken and Ger Griffin and Steve Murray has made its Warner Bras. debut with Hme&tiwn IT&es. Here’s an album that no one is going to buy. Strange guitar wails permeate each track, the vocals are buried in the mix and otherworldy, and it’s just way too scary for the vast majority of the music-buying public. Those in turn are the main reasons why the small minority out there who are still waiting for that elusive third MBV album should tide themselves over wih Horsedrawn Wiibes. That3 not to saythat listeners should expect anotherloPeless. Rollerskate Skinny use their effects ped-, als on full volume, but this is first and foremost a band that knows its way around a tune, and how to work it into the noise. That fact makes them closer cousins

of the Boo Radleys and Mercury Rev-acts that create sounds that are at once braying and melodic, unsettling and soothing. As well, all three use expanded instrumentation with windchimes I and horns that give their sound a admirable degree of humanism in the face of guitar chaos. The opener, “Swingboat Yawning,” puts together a loping beat, blasts of hard guitar and windchimes in something that can only be called “catchy.” “Speed To My Side” ends with a warbling choral workout by Ken Griffin, a melody only outdone by the wonderful “Angela Starling,” whose chorus lifts the listener to pleasant places that the Verve might go for. And of course there’s “All Morning’s Break,” a simple acoustic guitar strum that eventually fades into studio trickery with the lead vocal. That said, this album is still way too inward-looking, lyrically and otherwise, to appeal to anyone beyond a hardcore audience. If some attention was given to intelligible or identifiable lyrics, this band would really be onto sometlkg. As it is, it’s still better than the many shelves ofalbums surrounding it at the record store.

The group consists of 350 (the only lady), Devin, DMG, ShaRiza, Dat Nigga Noriega, SmitD and, of course, Mr. Scarface (aka Face)himself There .is one thing about Be OtherSideoftheLaw that might annoy some listeners, however, and that is the fact that it is almost a total remake of Mr. Sctiace’s last album, The D&y. “Intro” is a revamped version

of the %tro” from X&D&y, as is the UOutro.” In fact, the album, if you don’t listen closely, might even be confused for a typical ScarEaceCD. That shouldn’t detract from the listening pleasure, since with strong tracks like 7.n The Flesh,,, KMillions,” and “Stay True,,, the album still flows in that distinct Face style that any true Rap-ALet/5th Ward fan has grown to love.

There are a few surprises, like The Law,,, which contains rock guitar over a hip-hop beat, or “Downtime,” the token funk track. For the most part, however, the listener is faced with some bland tunes, some ofwhich would sound comfortable on an easy listening station. Ifcreativity is what you’re tier, forget this album. After all, one could accuse Jordan of delving into the elevator or the local K-Mart for some of his music. Despite this, the album succeeds at creating a cool atmosphere for certain scenarios, like under a ldrge marquis or on a cottage porch on a warm summer night.
