‘We deserved to win” by Peter Brown special to Imprint

t was just a matter of time before Mano Watsa took a game by the throat. The all-star point guard certainly has enjoyed moments of brilliance during the first six games of the Warriors’ regular seasoncampaign. But not until the seventh game, last Saturday’s 62-61 win over the Windsor Lancers, did Watsa simply will his team to victov

Lxurcd A bit too much drama at its end. With Waterloo Acad by 4 with 9 seconds left, Wxsa snared a rebound and Windsor’s Geoff Stead committed his 5th foul to stop the F&t brink. Stead left the ganxz withL 15 points and a herculean 17 rebounds. Watsa hit one of his two free throw attempts to put Waterloo up 62-57, but Lancer Chet W@qznski nailed a trey with 0.9 ticks on the clock to cut the margin to 2,62-60.

Before Waterloo could inbound, Warrior guard Pat German committed an offersive foul, sending Geoff Rekstis to the line to tie the game. He hit the first, but missed the second and Derek LMaatsecured the rebound and the victorv. “In the second half, we played well enough to win,” said head coach Tom K&wetter. “We deserved to win that game. It doesn’t matter how we win it. We’ll take it.” For the second consecutive game, the Warriors trailed their opponent by 13 points before mounting a comeback. With his team trailing by 9 at the half, 38-29, Watsa, along with German, forced one turnover titer another to he1 a 14-5 run that culminated in a VVatsa steal and la\wp d that tied it at43-43 with 12:30 left to play. ’ A couple of minutes later, Watsa gathered another turnover and scored to put Waterloo ahead (47-45) for the first time since midway through the first haK “Our game plan was to deny the wings and put a lot of pressure on their guards,” Watsa saici.“Pat German played some great defence and set up a lot of the steals that I had. 0ur posts did a great job with inside

pressure, forcing their wings to throw the ball into my hands sometimes.” The Warriors extended their lead to 7, S962, with a DerekMaat basket with 3:45 remaining, but the Lancers responded with 5 straight points to pull within 2. Stead and Wvdryznski, who out-rebounded the en& Warrior team in a 7353 Lancer win in Windsor on Jan. 22, held sway on the boards for much of this game as weli, collecting 17 and 9 rebounds respectively. “The difference today was that our big men responded,” Watsa’said. “Instead of backing down, they stepped up.” Maat ftished with 13 points and 9 boards and Mark Eys had 13 points and 8 rebounds, For Windsor, Matt McMillan led the tray with 17 points, while Wydryznski scored 11.

SC * Nz z s s The fate of your Fed fee Everything you need to know about where your money goes by Natalie Gillis, Karsten W. Gitter, Peter L,ena.rdon, Tasmina Pate1 and Katie Ricks Imprint staff

heFederation of Students budgeted to lose $163,553 this year and, as of December 31,1994, has lost $81,869. Although people are aware of the presence of the Fed executive and the services, commissions and businesses they provide, the question of where that money is lost is a mystery to most UW students. To inform the student body of where the compulsory Federation of Students fee of $23.60 is going,Imprint has summarized all commissions, services and other recipients of the Fed fee. The Federation of Students businesses do not receive any part of the fee (see page 5).

The Feds Executive Each executive receives a yearly salary of $26,400. The Presidefit, who is the Chief Executive Nicer of the Federation of Students corporation acts as a representative and supervisor for the Federation of Students-The President’s budget of$37,050 is currently overspent on general o&e/cornputer supplies, honoraria, telephone, fax, and charitable donations. The VP Education works with organizations of the University to keep education financially accessible, evaluate, formulate and implement academic policies and procedures and serve asStudents’Council advisor and administrative officer for all academic issues, Co-operative Education and external matters in which the Federation is active. The VP Education’s budget of $35,000 is currently overspent on telephone, fax, photocopying and general office/computer supplies. The VI? Internal maintains permanent records of Students’ Council and its of&es, acts as a liaison between the Feds and its clubs and services and reviews bylaws, policies, and procedures of Students’ Council and recommends areas of improvement.TheVP Intenal budget of$33,050 is currently overspent on general office/computer supplies and entertainment/promo/ meetings, The VI? Administration & Finance

supervises the finances of Students’ Council services and revenue generating businesses and determines the allocation of funds to Fed clubs and the preparation of the annual budget of the Council. The VP Internal also presents a financial report to Students’ Council at least once a term and promotes the Feds to the University and community. The VP Administration & Finance budget of $34,000 is overspent on photocopying and general ofIice/computer supplies. The Student Government is composed of the President, VI%, SIRC coordinator, President of the Faculty Societies, Federated or AfUiated College Councils or their representatives, the President of UW, and Chairs of Committees of CounciLThe Student Government budget of $19,850 is currently overspent on photocopying, entertainment/promo/meetings, special projects for executives and student council meetings. Feds Services As Tori Harris, the Feds VPAF, indicates, the Feds services should not be expected to make a profit, but are solely designed as a servici to the students. R& cently, service budgets have undergone considerable change in an attempt to make the services more accountable for their expenditures. In previous years, services received variable budgets based on their

graphic anticipated operating costs and projects for the year. Under the.current system, most services are allocated a $1,500 operating budget; money that they would have received under the old allocation system is pooled into a Special Project Fund, which can only be tapped by Federation of Students services. In order to accessthis pool, services must put forth a proposal requesting funding for a specific project. A five member board, consisting of the VPAF, VPI, SIRC coordinator, one Students’ Council member and one service coordinator, make all final funding decisions. Services have the opportunity to request hding mice per term. The following service budget figures are based on income statements for eight months ending December 31,1996. Most of the services that have a set budgetof$l$OOhaveactua.llymanagedto remain below that figure, such astheWornen’s Centre, GLLOW, PODS, PALS and the Landlordflenant Information Service. SAC was $126 over its $1,200 budget, while the Volunteer and Parttime Employment Centre andFeds Food Bank were considerably below their anticipated $1,000 budgets.

Stephen Johnston

The offke of the Ombudsperson, tided extensively by Student AflFairs and graduate students, is one of few Fed services that has not incurred a loss. It was expected to bring in $18,7SO, but managed to chalk up $19,422. This money, however, is utilised to pay the Ombudsperson’s M-time salary, an expense not ingluded on the budget statement. Orientation Week segregates into five categories: operation, retreat, pep rally, coupon book and spirit day. Following drastic losses in previous years, the Feds actually managed to remain just under budget this year. Although the total budgetedlossforOrientationWeekwas$16,775, the Feds actually lost a mere $2,641. Homecoming fared well this year, with operating expenses well below the anticipated cost of $9,150. The $3,713 profit they turned prevented an anticipated $5,050 loss, resulting in a $3,359 loss on this event. The Student Handbook is meant to run on a cost recovery basis by selling advertising space and having student volunteers design and edit the book. In 1996 l

The verdict was reached after 17 hours of deliberation - nearly five times as long as the criminal jury deliberated. The jury ordered him to pay $8.5 million in compensatory damages.

No compensatory damages were sought by Ms. Simpson’s fmily. The verdict removes some of the vindication claimed by Mr. Simpson after he was acquitted of murder in 1995.

Following his dismissal of the results, opposition supports ,took the streets and began to demdnstrate against Milosevic.

Fed businesses yield mixed results by Peter Lenardon Imprint staff

hough the Federation of Students did lose money over the past year, its businesses have fared well. The big wirrners of the Fed businesses include the Used Book Store, the Rombshelter and finally Federation Hall. According to budget figures up to November 30,1996, however, some businesses have room for improvement. The Used Book Store is the biggest revenue generator of the Fed businesses. Its profits as of the eight months ending December 3 1,1996 were $74,349. Vice President Administration and Finance Tori Harris attributed this strong performance to an espycially lucrative start to the fall 1996 term and an efficient new computer inventory system. However, a minor revenue setback could be experienced in the near future if the U.S.- Canadian trade war on printed materials ends the sale of used books to the U.S. company Nebraska. Afker

a few years

of revenue

shortfalls, Federation Hail is making a profit again. In the last eight months of 1996, Fed Hall made $8,835. That figure represents a great turnaround compared to previous losses of over $100,000 in a year, but is stiIl low when

compared to its heyday in the late eighties and early nineties. A chaqe in focus from being a regular dance bar to that of a concert and special events venue is one reaso; for Fed’s comeback. Another reason is better staff management which cuts down on redundant part-time staK VPAF Harris remarked, however, that profits could be increased if the business’s inventory system was tightened up. Fed Hall continues to make its mortgage payments, funded by the $7.50 per term student fee. However, Fed Hall still faces a potentially fatal referendum next week. Students will actually vote on two questions: should Fed Hall stay open and should students pay an extra $5.00 fee to make renovations. A “no” vote on the first question would close Fed Hall and turn it over to the University, but it would still leave students with the remaining mortgage payments on the building. Ten per cent of students are required to participate if the referendum is to be binding. Can the Feds get that sort of turnout in this current non-election year, given the 3.6 per cent voter turnout for the by-election which elected the current VPAF? Harris herself’ was hopeful that “people probably care more about a thing than a Person.”

The Bombshelter made .money again because, well, everybody goes there. Look for the Bomber expansion, including a new kitchen and seating area, by the end of April 1997. Scoopsmade$1,890lastyear. That is a lot of ice creanr. One ofthe weakest businesses of 1996 was the Campus Shop and it was closed during the Fall term of that year. Currently, a satellite of the UVV Computer Store occupies the Campus Shop’s old space in the Student Life Centre. The lease in this space expires at the end of this term, at which point the Feds and the SLC Management Board will decide what will go in there next. Variety and Post posted a $5,061 loss in the final eight months of 1946. The Feds are currently working on better promotions for the store and possible changes to its inventory. Market research could be employed to determine who shops there and the sorts of things they buy. Fed Copy Plus experienced a 50 per cent increase in sales during the same period last year, but still ended 1996 with a loss of $32,837. Harris attributed this contradictory performance to incorrect budget forecasts.The business expected to enjoy a 120 per cent increase in revenue. Its spending reflected this expectation.

MO’ money Fed budget summary continued Satisfying those eager frosh l

by Julie Primeau VP Internal For the past few weeks you have been bombarded with various Fed issues and news makers. First, there was the news about the acclamations, which seem to upset many of you as you will not have an oppormnity to vote on an executive this year. The second biggest news maker is the Fed Hall referendum, which will give the students an opportuniv to decide what they feel the future of Fed Hall should be. This week, I want to talk about some ofthe other things that are going on around the Fed Office. Clubs, clubs and more clubs! Well, the clubs are set to go for the winter term. It seems that we have about 50 in total, which is great. The clubs recognized by the Feds are non-athletic and nonacademic in nature. What this means is that we have a wide variety of clubs each term, ranging from Christian groups to clubs that are interested in different types of music, and everything else in between, This term is big for some of the clubs as it is time to plan the Multi-Cultural Festival. Together, the groups will be planning the

event for mid-March which will allow everyone to learn about different clothing, dancing, music and food from around t&e world. This is a day that you don’t want to miss, and if you are interested in helping out, please contact Julie at ext. 3780. The FEDS get artsy! Some people have no idea that the Feds have an Arts Commission. This commission is intended to support all forms of art on campus. Some of you have seen the concerts in the Student Life Centre, which arc brought to you by the Arts Commission. Currently, the Art Commission is focusing on the yearly publication known as the Phoenix. This publication contains poetry, short stories, photography and drawings, all done by students. If you are interested in helping out with this publication, please contact the Fed Qfflce for more details. A new service that is making a difference Let me start by saying that the Feds have many services and each one has volunteers that do tremcndom work. I want to let you know about a new service, which just received its status late last term. The High School Send-

off Program is a service designed to target first year students who have accepted Waterloo as their choice and are just waiting for the momentous first dav. These students will receive a mail-out in the middle of the summer which invites them to a presentation about what to expect in their first year. Last year, almost 300 students and parents attended the fust ever presentation, which took place at Fed Hall. The presentation opened with a panel of experts from across the campus who gave a brief presentation about their department. After the panel had finished speaking, the group was divided (parents in one area and students in another) for a question and answer period. All of the volunteers felt very positive about the first presentation and know that it will only get better. Bight now, the group is back at the drawing board, ready to plan the event for this summer. If you attended the event, or are interested in providing input for this year, please contact the Fed Office As I said before, there are many terrific things going on in the Fed Office. These things are made possible by the hard working volunteers, whose enthusiasm never ceasesto amaze me. I want to thank all of these volunteers for their help, without you the Feds would not exist! l

97, advertising sales came in under budget (only $14,569 of an expected $17,000 wasgenerated), and the book was printed with a $1,338 deficit, Plans are underway to hire - a full-time advertising manager to try and prevent future losses in this area, This leaves one to question the logic of paying someone in order to save money. The Student Issues Resource Centre, in its first year of operation, was granted a budget of $1,950. With operating expenses totalling $16,450, the Feds expect to see a $14,500 loss withthis service. However, this includes the cost of paying the parttime SIRC coordinator, The Safety Van carries one of the largest service budgets, with operating expenses totaling $3 1,400. The Safew Van Coordinator is currently carrying out a student review of the Safety Van. Results will be compiled in a report for the Federation of Students. While the cost of admission to Summerfest I 8c II and drink specials at the bar are expected to help recover the costs of the special activities taking place during Summerfest, there is no way of being sure if this happens. Although Summerfest I staved well within the $2,500 allocited for special activities, netting a $6,984 profit, the laser tag &tivity at Summerfest II cost the Feds $6,83 I, restricting their net profit to $867. The Federation of Students eliminated the position ofSpecial Events Programmer in midJanuary and redesigned it to work under the Vice President Administration and Finance (the position has not yet been filled). The portfolio includes working with community representatives to plan community-wide events (like Canada Day) and obtaining corporate sponsorship and funding for events on campus. So far, spending in this area is slightly under its $11,187 budget. Board of Entertainment (BEnt) is the body that brings concerts to Fed Hall and the Bombshelter, selling tickets at subsidized prices for s&dents. One of the current challenges facing BEnt is the all-ages show debate. Because many bands request that their performances be open to all ages, tickets for high school students are essentially subsidized by UW students. The Feds may look into the feasibility of a two-tiered ticket pricing system, whereby non-UW students would pay full price

for REnt

concerts.

Akhough

BEnt makes a nominal profit from ticket sales, the cost of bringing bands to campusgenerally consumes any p&t generated from the con&&. The Feds maintain that BEnt is run as a service for

students, and that generating a profit is not one of its objectives. As such, it has grossed $101,625 so far, with operating expenses ringing in at $144,838, for a net loss of $43,213. The cost of UW’s afjiliations with the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA j and with the Ontario Undergraduate Student Association (OUSA) were just below budget. Although alliance with CASA rcsulted in a loss of $ I4,5 12 and OUSA set us back $24,250, both losses can be traced to membership fees. Feds Commissions The Academic Commission researches and handles on campus issuesconcerning equality and rights. At the moment, they have plans for research of course evaluations.Their budget is $600. The Academic Rights Advisors is a new service being provided by the Academic Commission to guide students who ma) have conflicts to the correct resources and to inform students of their rights.Their budget is $200. The Arts Commission supports various art events on campus, including the bands that perform in the campus centre. As well, the commission ensures the yearly publication of the Phoenix, a collection of poems and art by students. Its budget is $2,200. The External Commission liaises with the OUSA (Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance) and CASA (Canada Alliance of Student Association) in formulating policies concerning several issuessuch astuition. Its budget is $100. The Gender Commission works with the Women’s Centre to provide a forum for women and men to discuss issues relating to their respective gender. It! budget is $700. The Human Rights Commission increases awareness of disability, racial or ethnic discrirnination or harassment of any kind through public seminars, demonstrations and campaigns. Its budget is $875. The Internal Commission acts a liaison between various campus clubs and advertises their combined events. Its budget is $15,800. The Public Issues Commission promotes public awareness of issues that &tain to students such asthe env:ronment and AIDS through campaigns and events. Its budget is $1,550. The Publicity Commission ensures

ou’re watching the X-Files. Special agent Foxhilulder is on the verge of discovering key evidence that proves the government’s knowledge of the existence of extra-terrestrial life. . . but first, a word on yeast infections. It’s really depressing to know that no matter how long 1 watch television, almost one quarter of the time is taken up by the most unoriginal, frustrating and insulting television commercials ever conceived. When I’m all geared up to learn about secret governmental conspiracies, the very last thing on my mind is a yeast infection (actually it isn’t on my mind at all!). By the same token, I really have no interest in hearing about the itch and pain of some guy’s hemorrhoids, or that girl who just udoesn’t feel fresh.” It really isn’t appealing, nor does it need to be broadcast during primetime. 1 I watch television to be entertained, not to be enlightened about bodily functions. In addition to all of &ese disgusting ads, v there are thepurely moronic ones. You know the ones I’m talking about. Like that stupid Midas guy: 7.. Oh, these aren’t walking shoes, they’re talking shoes-let me demonstrate.. .” What the hell do your shoes have to do with car tuneups, buddy? And what about those Harvey’s commercials-the inane one sided dialogue between a moronic scientist and a mute hamburger (surprising)-at which I have never heard a human being laughI wish I knew where marketing teams find these writers. I would avoid that place like the plague. Then there are what I call the “Doctor Mom” commercials. In families on television, it seems that when someone has &cough due to cold,” only the mother can get up to administer the remedy. We are shown the husband, who is coughing, but doesn’t have the common sense to

get off his butt and get some medicine. This guy would cough up his kidneys and still wait for his wife to get the remedy. I say let the idiot die! Commercials that insult your intelligence are among my most hated. How about those Coast soap commerciais? Do these (presumably) highly educated marketing executives think that we, the viewers, are chimps? I think that they do...ot.herwise they’re the chimps. The Coast commercial shows a guy who gets up in the morning and he looks all tired. When he goes into the shower, he picks up a bar of this miracle soap and takes a sniff (normal 7: 15 a.m. procedure when you feel like hell), It seems that this soap has some sort of super invigorating chemical, because this guy suddenly becomes Guy Smiley from%~ume Stwet. He has more energy than Tony Little, that scary late night fitness guy, and is having the shower of the century. He’s having more fun in thatshower than anybody ever should be allowed to have in a shower. Hell, in the morning I’m desperate. ‘Tb avoid my usual experience, I’d jump in there and have that guy lather me up ! If Coast soap had effects remotely close to those shown in the commercial, I would have a never ending supply of the product. I would inject myself with “Coast insulin,” I would use the stuff as chewing tobaccd and might even eat it as a lightsnack. But we all know that Coast does not have effects Iike this and it doesn’t “refresh most.” Maybe the solution is the new V-chip that has been developed. The chip is used by parents to block out certain programming they don’t want their children to see. I’d simply use it to block out every damn commercial. Then I could watch T.V. in peace.

Yeast infections aren’t on my I mind at all.. l

are we debating? Did the Holomlst occur? While it is important that an accurate history of the Holocaust be compiled, keep in mind that the event did occur and to deny this is a dishonour to the 12 million who can no longer defend this memory. I urge all reading this letter to plcasc find out as much as you can about the tragedy and keep the memory alive (and please, visit the Nizkor site first). What

No debate about the Holocaust #2 The Holocaust is historical fact. The death of six million Jews as a result ofNazi hatred, fear and sense of superiority is historical fact. The use of gas chambers to accomplish hundreds of thousands ofthese murders is historical fact. Plain and simple. Regardless, there are people who spend a substantial amount of their time trying to den\r its occurrence. In spite of these people,‘I do not live in fear of another Holocaust as a result of their efTorts. I do not believe that those who deny the Holocaust will be successful in their endeavour, whatever their endcavour may be. Ernest Zundel denies the Holocaust. He lives in Toronto and continually prints and distributes anti-Holocaust literature. With a cleverly designed web site to his credit, he presents a list of 66 frequently asked questions about the Holocaust and then answers them in ways that are counter-factual. He wonders why Jews supposedly on their way to the gas chamber, knowing that they were to be murdered, did not resist. He concludes that they must have been confident that their lives were safe. He suggests that the internment of Jews in Germany was because they posed a security threat-in 1935, Jews in the diaspora (Jews living outside of toda)% Israel) boycotted Nazi products. The Nazis had a legitimate reason to fear an internal Jewish uprising. This is I00 per cent garbage. A Letter to the Editor in last week’s Imprint suggested that Zundel is a perse-

ofthe

is nut a dissident

opinion. It &a lie, it is a disgusting, degrading iie. Zundel’s very opinions persecute others. Not oniy does he actively persecute the memory of six million dead, who at the very least should be allowed to rest in peace, he persecutes those who loved and lost them. I do not feel bad for this man. I hate him-with every ounce of passion that I can muster up in my heart. His rights are not being trampled on in Canada. We let him live here. He does not deserve any more than that. Maybe he doesn’t even deserve that.

King not a fraud #l In her letter, “King was a Fraud,” Lisa Hendrikson attempts to present another side of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to those she feels have a misconception of the man. Hendrikson’s transparent attempt to smear Dr. King by accusing him of being a communist, a Marxist and of consorting with “known communists” would be hilarious were it not so pathetic. Lisa: Since when is it a crime to be a communist? Or a Marxist? Or to consort with people who are “known communists?” Or to be known by a pseudonym? (Tony Bennet’s real name is Anthony benedetto. Let’s take him out back and beat the shit out of him. Whaddaya say?) Lisa: Since when is it a crime to consume alcohol? Or to assemble with other citizen? Or, as an 18-year-old idealist, to base a public speech on the writings of someone you admire? If that last is a crime, we’d better arrest two-thirds of the members of every Young Objectivists clubthey do love to paraphrase their Ayn Rand. In fact, the more I read Hendriksen’s letter, the more I realize that it consists exclusively of the kind of salacious innuendo, unsubstantiated allegations, and remorseless character assassination that typified Senator Joseph McCarthy’s attacks on so manvd innocent citizens. Dr. King did nothing to you, Lisa. Nothing. All he did was rally a vast, poor, subjugated people and help them achieve’s collective sense of purpose and dignity in a time of great madness. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion of Dr. King, malignant and petty though it may be. You are also entitled to express that opinion, Allow me to inform you on what the general reaction to that opinion will be: Attempting to poison Dr, King’s image by portraying hirn as a communist is ludicrous. Making vicious, unsubstantiated allegations regarding his academic performance and sexual habits is merelv crass. But to allege that he was indifferent to nonvio-

lence is to spit on the grave of a much respected, much revered and much loved man who made an important and undeniable contribution to the cause of civil rights for all people. I quote one of Joe McCarthy’s targets, Joseph N. Welch: “Have you no decency? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

King not a fraud #2 To the Editor,

I will begin by stating that I was irnpressed to find, two weeks ago, a full-page article dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. in Imprint. Although he may be a part of American history, I don’t think his passion or what he fought against should be ignored by any nation which is multicultural. This week, however, I discovered a Letter to the Editor which disappointed me, namely; “King was a Fraud.” I recognize that people are of’ten duped into following something without merit by being caught up in the fire of it all, but in this instance I will not let that *accusation go unchallenged.

Pete

Nesbitt

First OF, the point is made to implicate King as a communist. Am I supposed to care? Keep in mind that with our government controlled health care and government radio and television media, many Americans thought that Canadians were communist, and many still do. Also, has Hendrikson used the glaring fact that the bum-the-communist time ofAmerican history is now recognized b) most of the thinking world as the atrocity of justice that it was? By addressing this point, I am not accepting the claim put forth by Hendrikson that King was a communist. Hcndrikson also seems highly interested in “saintly” life. Consider the philosopher/theologian Augustine’s early life for a peek into the %aintlv” life. You would& classify his early ife as saintly either, yet he is Saint Augustine, so sa)s the Roman Catholic Church. A man’s moral life being opposed to your own does not necessitate that his passionate vision is somehow false. Equality has very little to do with vice. Again, by attacking this notion, I am nut accepting the unsubstantiated claims made by Hcndrikson. Finally, vou’d have a hard time ever convincing he that negative evidence or testimony given by anyone about King wasn’t anything other than forged evidence and false testimony.

is a

prime example of what reward attention to civil rights gets one. You can’t tell me that King didn’t have enemies, enemies that would lie to tarnish his reputation and seek to bury his aims. Regardless, presume that what has been said does bear some truth, when Hendrikson attacks King, she doesn’t attack some faceless man; she attacks the legend he has become, the message he put forth. I’m afraid I see no merit in attacking the dream that one day, our children will “...live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” And I truly hope that Hendrikson doesn’t either. I suppose however, that I live in ignorance; for I cannot recall Lisa Hendrikson’s life serving as inspiration to millions, or her works benefiting those whose lives are hampered not as a result of their own f‘ailings, but because of the colour of their skin, If you must criticize his life, first consider how well your life might fare under your own careful scrutiny.

King not a fraud #3

If King’s speeches were written by others, this in no way diminishes the power of their vision. If King was a promiscuous and abusive plagiarist, this in no way invalidates his power as a symbol for the civil rights movement and the struggle for equality in an oppressive environment. In fact, the personal lives of historical figures should not influence our relation to what they taught. The fact that we do not always live up to our ideals doesn’t mean we are insincere in expressing them. If Gandhi were a drug pusher, Jesus a child molester, and the Buddha a serial killer, these facts would quite simply have no bearing on the validity of their ideas. Martin Luther King Day is a celebration of the ideals of equality and justice, of openmindedness and tolerance, which King preached, whoever wrote the words he spoke. It is a holiday which commemorates the dignity of human beings, and the values of the movement of which he was only the most prominent of many millions of members. Though it may be uncharitable of me to say so, I can’t help but feel, in reading Ms. Hendrikson’s letter, that it is this spirit, and these ideals, which are fher real enemy. If so, I have nothing but pity for her impoverished spirit. --JeffMUrto?2 3B M&b

Apparently I was more naive than I imagined. I’d thought that the kind of thinking behind Lisa Hendrikson’s letter on AMartin Luther King had gone out of fashion with the 1950s and Joseph McCarthy. She labels him a Communist, as if that wefe synonymous with poor moral character. She cites witnesses who claim that he had sex with and abused women, asif all witnesses were unimpeachable. She informs us that his legal name was not IUartin Luther King, as if the name the man used were somehow relevant to the ideas he preached. We could argue against her facts, as I suspect she would

Referendum Fed Hall #3 I-b the Editor, As a fourth year student at UW, I look back at the times I have spent hcrc and my favourite memories are at the Bomber and Fed Hall. Yes FED HALL-a lot of people in their senior years can relate to the good old days of Fed Hall when there were line ups on Thursday nights. Fed was the place to be and there were no ifs ands or buts about it. Now my fourth year friends will definitely try to get tickets to the sold out events of New Years Eve, Homecoming ctc ., because they know it is a time when the crowd will be like it was about two years ago. The thought of not reuniting at Summerfest makes me sad, but it could soon be a reality if there is a lack of support for the Federation of Students to keep Fed Hall open. Therefore, I strongly encourage students to vote yes on February 11 and 12 to save Federation Hall. Read on and see what you are missing or will be missing at Fed Hall. I know a lot of graduating students may say “who cares I won’t be here next year,” but think about what you are leaving behind-

No longer uriil pu be at this school to relive those memories

Friday, February 7, 1997 but it would be nice to give the younger students the oppotity to make those same wondefil memories, Sure they could make those same sort of memories at our other student bar, but Fed Hall is Canada’s largest on camput night club so it obviously c+an cater to more people. Fed also caters to young frosh that are underaged, and it treats all UVV students as VIP because they get to go in first before other non-UW guests. And guess what, flash those Alumi cards and you get even more respect. The fact of the matter remains that Fed Hall is here to serve YOU

the students.

The staff at Fed are students too, they arc very friendly and polite, and they ALWAYS say good-bye when you leave. Current management at Fed has done a great job in th e past year: they have lowered prices to under eight bucks a pitcher on Thursdays, they are always giving away great prizes and having one sold out concert tier another. Speaking of concerts, you don’t even need a backstage pass, (there is no backstage) so it is fairly easy to meet band members at Fed. I was fortunate enough to touch and talk to the gorgeous lead singer ofMoist right outside the boys washroom at Fed. Speaking of the boys washroom, right next door you can grab a slice ofFed’s fabulous pizza. If Fed Hail were to close, look at all the things you would be missing out on. 1 have not even mcntioned the Federation of Student’s Christmas party, Oktoberfest, Energy 108, Baby Blue, the Church College Air Band Night, Engineering Talent Show night and the list goes on. I also even avoided cutting up other local bars, because no bar is perfect, everyone has had their bad experiences at one place or another. (Lost coats, waiting on one side to get to the other, no place to sit or dance, no pitchers of beer or lack of variety). Bars have come and gone-but here is your chance to save one of the better student hangouts. For the rehimiIlg students who wiil remain at Fed, what is an extra $5 for three terms when you pay more in a taxi ride to and from the bars off campus. (Assuming you live close to campus ofcourse). But the Safety Van and Walk Safe do exist to help vou out, to ensure that you reach home safely. Back to the $5 issue, mark it on the ballot. If you don’t think renovations are the answer, state your opinion. But at least try to vote and consider answering yes that the Federation of Students should continue to operate Federation Hall. Perhaps then that support will give us hope in continuing to have the largest Canadian on campus student night club. Well you obviously took the time to read this article, so I hope you take the time to vote yes. I hope to see you all at Summerfest One and Two 1997!! ! And pcrhaps a Fed Hall victory celebration if the results would like them

Tutt #3

ing

To the Editor,

It’s never easy for someone who has just lost their job, and for that reason I sympathize with Calvin Devries and SamMcIntyre, the two projectionists whose contracts were not renewed by the owners of the Princess Cinema. I’d also like to say I’m very impressed by the actions of the patrons who are standing outside in cold weather to, peaceably and understandingly, show their support and describe to other patrons their views on the matter. My understanding of the whole situation there is based on reading the two notices handed out by the Devries camp, as well as the one notice given out in the theatre, apparently expressing the views of the owner, John Tutt. Based on those sources, I would like to take issue with the terminology and rhetoric used by the Devries camp, and appearing in Imprint in Paul York’s letter (“Tutt, Tutt, II”, Jan 24/97). Mr. York writes in one place that Tutt locked Devries out, and in another place that Devries was fired-but neither is true, since the contract under which Devries was working for Tutt had already ended. He was not fired, and he was no more locked out of the projection room than I am locked out, asa non-employee, from handling the projector. Further, York continues, Tutt will not talk to Devries but is paving a current employee a lower rate for the same work, an employee who has admitted to “scabbing out” (a term allegedly used bv the employee) Devries. But, n&body’s “scabbing out” anybody - scabbing refers to replacing an employee on strike. Devries is not an emplo\ree and therefore is not on strike:His contract has ended. As an employer and a small business owner, why shouldn’t Tutt hire whomever he likes to do this job, provided there is a certified projectionist (such as Tutt) to supervise?

If patrons don’t think they’re getting the quality they paid for, they will go elsewhere. Does the fact that Devries and Mdntyre are former employees mean he has no choice

what unfair to me. It’s very impressive to be liv-

of Tutt

but to hire them back after their contract ends? This would seem some-

in a community

that

takes

such an active role in its goingson, and I’m grateful to the members of the Devries camp who took the time to discuss the issues with me. At the same time, however, I feel no qualms of conscience for passing between them and into the Princess to watch a movie earlier this week. I do not agree with their stand and do not see anything unfair or wrong with Tutt’s actions, asdescribed in their own notices and in his.

WPIRG invaluable

As a UW alumnus and WPIRGer, I’m extremely concerned that in the Forurn section of the Imprint Readers Survey, only 39.6 per cent of students reported that they read the WPIRG columns regularly (Imprint, 17 Jan. 1997). For a long time, VVPIRG has been an invaluable student resource putting students and faculty in touch with human rights workers, environmentalists and other optimists who are struggling for a world free of racism, sexism, human and worker rights abuses, etc. The present group of volunteers is involved in campaigns as varied as student housing issues, the concern for human rights and environmental violations in Ogoniland and Canada’s corporate participation in this horror, and the destruction of nature’s carefully developed ecosystem in the Temagami region of northern Ontario. Recent VVPIRG events such asOgoniland protests at Shell Oil stations, and a factual tour of young people from Northern Ireland has attracted solid student involvement. I can only hope and trust

huge holding company. Thus, it is impossible to invest in Burma without directly or indirectly benefitting the military regime. They use any revenues obtained from foreign sources like PepsiCo for military spending to wage war against their own people and ethnic minorities along border states. UN off%&ls have been quoted as saying that “none of the money is being spent to improve life for the average Burmese citizen.“Foreign currency reserves (from companies like PepsiCo), along with profits from the illicit opium and prostitution trade, are used to expand the army+ The SLORC has already purchased $1.4 billion in Chinese arms. OPIRG-Carleton has been leading a campaign to get PepsiCo out ofBurma for the past six years, Their efforts brought the situation in Burma to international attention. In a related development, Consumers Gas, a major supplier of Natural Gas in Ontario has announced that they will not renew their contract with Unocal, the California-based oil and gas conglomerate under fire for human rights and environmental abuse in Canada and Burma. In Canada, Unocal built a sour gas processing plant on Lubicon Cree territory which was never ceded to any government. The Lubicon Lake Cree Nation of northern Alberta is opposed to the

plant which is a few kilometers up-wind from the future Lubicon reserve. The plant is aviolation of aboriginal land rights and threat to the health of the Lubicon community - already reporting skin rashes, respiratory problems and birth defects. In Burma, Unocal has invested $ I billion in a pipeline that runs through ethnic Mon and Karen territory. Annual sales of $400 million are expected to aid the military regime which has already forcibly relocated tens of thousands of people who occupied the pipeline area. Others are being forced to “donate” their lahour to build roads and railways to support the pipeline. Canadian Friends of Burma feel that sanctions against Burma on the part of the Canadian government can have the most effect. Boycotts won’t work against the eight Canadian mining and gas companies that have flocked to plunder Burma of its resources. As we& Canadian textile imports f?om Burma have tripled. These sales benefit the military government and indirectly sudport the sweat-shop labour conditions of the Burmese workers who make the textiles. Thus, while PepsiCo’s withdrawal from Burma andconsumers Gas’contractnonrenewal with Unocal are significant victories, the job isn’t finished.

After a six-year battle with the PepsiCo Coiporation, Canadian activists have seen the flits oftheir labour. PepsiCo’s Edward V. Lahey( Senior Vice President) released the following statement : “Based on our assessment of the spirit of current U.S. government foreign policy, we arecompleting our total disengagement from the Burmese market. Accordingly, we have severed all relationships with our former franchise bottler, effective January 15, 1997. The bottler in Burma is taking appropriate steps to ensure that all production and distribution of our products are ceased by May 31,1997.” The press statement was directed at Father Joe Le Mar, a shareholder who has expressed concern about PepsiCo’s operations in Burma. PepsiCo had licensed a bottler in Burma to the rights of franchise. Currently, Burma is under the control of & illegal military dictatorship. The government, the State Law and Order Restoration coundl (SLORC), refused to acknowledge democratic elections in the country.

If someone wanted to sponsor a cultural, artistic or sporting event, that would be good, right? It is, essentially, free money for any given community. These events add jobs (albeit temporarily) and, in some way, they enrich the lives of those that choose to attend. There reaUv doesn’t seem to be a down side t& this scenario. The government wants to put an end to it. Not in all cases, mind you, but in any casewhere the sponsor is a tobacco company. This makes absolutely no sense. Let’s assume for a moment that tobacco companies are trulv evil, They reap rich rewards frok the stupid, self-destructive behaviour of people who insist on ignoring simple warnings like “Smoking will kill you” and continue to inhale the 4000 + chemicals (according to the Canadian Cancer Society) that are found in tobacco smoke. Smokers are victims, with no conscious minds of their own, easy prey for the wily tobacco giants. Let us also assume that, in the 90’s, the victim era if there ever was one, society needs protection lest there be

The plurality of the tuition debate is aptly described by Hearn andAnderson, who ident+ three tuition policy goals; access,quality and financial manageability. “Balancing the three policy goals is like trying to find a place inside a triangle that is close to all three corners at the same time. Achieving one at the expense of the other two would be easy, and achieving any two reasonably well is quite possible. However, achieving three at once seems virtually-impossible.” While the impossibility ma) seem overwhelming, the debate on tuition should always be geared towards achieving these three ends. The relationship between quality and financial manageability and tuition is fairly clear Adding the issue of accessto the equation, complicates the connection. Increasing tuition, such that it impedes accessibility to the point where enrollment falls, would decrease revenue and therefore quality. The impact of tuition fees on accessibility is of great consequence. The debate on tuition would be significantly dif5xent if we had a concrete answer to the question: How does tuition af&t accessibility? Our knowledge of l

more and more victims of this sort. I still don’t see why we wouldn’t want tobacco money. Isn’t the fact that tobacco companies are so evil all the more reason to take their ill-gotten gains? Do you want to force the bad guys to just take home those millions of dollars instead of putting them back into the community? Tobacco sponsorship of cultural and sporting events (which include the Montreal Jazz Festival as well as golf, tennis and formula one racing events) amounts to approximately $60 million a year, and if you add up the spin-off revenues (hotels, restaurants, merchandise, etc.), we’re taLking about amounts in the hundreds of millions of dollars a year. This is bad? Well, money talks and bullshit walks, and Federal Health Minster David Dingwall is walking back to the bargaining table to reconsider the proposed lkgislation, Bill C7 1. Though he insists that he won’t be “b1ackmai1ed” into any changes, he’s considering delaying the implementation of C-71 for up to three vears . B;t this is purely a political move. About half of the $60 mil-

lion a year is spent in Quebec, and the Liberal government doesn’t want to do unytbin~ to piss off Quebeckbrs at this point, especially with an election call predicted within the next three or four months. So, Dingwall’s intent is to leave the Bill as is and pass it ASAP, with the political repercussions stiely delayed. But Quebec IMP’s won’t go for it (perhaps the first smart thing they’ve ever done). Unfortunately, there is really only one change to make to the Bill that might appease some of its critics; excluding the major events (like the Indy races). But, that screws the cultural events over pretty hard, and that might result in even more opposition than there is now. If Bill C-71 passes, it will probably be in its original form, and that’s crap. Companies should be allowed to sponsor any damn event they want, regardless ofhow they get their money. It’s only good for the communitv. And if c-71 passesin an amended form, it will-be grossly unfair to the Arts community. Hopefully, it just won’t pass at all.

the factors that impact students’ decisions is so lacking that the tuition debate is critically uninformed. The assumption that student aid can help low income students is highly d;bious. It is doub&l that, even at current or lower tuition, accessis secured for low income students. According to Finnie and Garneau, “the currentsystem does not seem to be very efficient in getting more money to the College and Bachelor’s students who likely need it most.” A student’schoice to continue their education beyond secondary school is made well before the point of matriculation. Tuition provides only a secondary barrier in the choice to attend universitv. It is as erroneous to assume that low tuition will encourage more students to attend PSE as to assume the opposite will deter srudents. The paradigm of rational choice isseriously flawed. A myriad CE socio-economic, cultural and individualistic factors have a bearing on the PSE decision. If a tuition policy is to find broad support within the university community, it must understand this concept. While evidence that price affects accessibilit-\;M and enrollment

exists, the magnitude and significance of that impact is still hotly debated. While a study in the United States revealed that a midyear surcharge appreciably lowered enrollment, the Canadian statistics appear to demonstrate the opposite relationship. Simple regression analysis reveals that enrollment and participation rates rose. along side tuition in the last fifteen years. This relationship is, however, too simplistic to be useful. Because there arc always more applic,znts than places available, enrollment is deterministic of institutional capacity rather than accessibility . Participation rates similarly are likely to be significantly affected by the number of places available. Although, participation rates and enrollment are more likely attributable to externalities than tuition levels, concerns arise as we reach unprecedented levels of tuition. Given the nebulous nature of the relationship, members of the PSE community must be aware of a possible th reshold point. That is a point where tuition increases such that applications fall significantly thereby lowering both enrollments and the general quality of the student.

The Of&e of the Ombudsperson provides a free, cotidentiai service to all individuals in the university community. The Ombudsperson, although not an advocate, is able to investigate, mediate and advise individuals on a number of concerns such as academic appeals, housing concerns, legal questions, ethical behaviour issues, OSAP questions and persoml problems. Dealing with conflict is difficult and stressful. However, if you remain calm and rational vou will fmd, in most cases, that &hcr parties involved also want to resolve the issue as quickly and peacefully as yourself.

4. Failure of steps two and three. If an informal meeting proves to be ineffective and neither party can agree to a fair and equitable resolution, you will need to proceed to the next step. This usually entails contacting other individuals either by phone or in writing. Since every caseis unique, you must first know whom to contact.

Defending against the Date Rape Drug Raising awareness is the best way to stop Rohypnol L.2

bough

the drug

has been

available since the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, only recently have North America&realized the dangerous potential ofRohvpno1. Known as the Date Rape I%-ug, or the Forget Pill, the past few years have seen an increase in the number of sexual assault cases in which the victim was given Rohypnol without her knowing. Rohypnol is the brand name registered by Hoffman-LaRoche Inc. for the drug flunitrazepam. It is a member of the same family of chemicals as Valium, which are known asBenzodiazcpines, drugs recognised for their alcohol-like eEects on patients. It is important to note however, that Rohypnol is considered to be ten times more powerful than Valium. It was origindly designed as a sedative and prescribed for people with slceping disorders, though its use has been legally halted in North America. When the drug is taken, it produces a relaxed feeling, soothing the nerves and inducing deep. However, this relaxed state leads to lowered inhibitions, and it is during this time that women are very susceptible and prone to memory loss. In the majority ofthe reported cases, Rohypnol has been administered to a woman in a beverage, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The pill dissolves instantly and takes effect within five to ten minutes of digestion, which is close to instant in a party setting. It is tasteless, odorless and colourless, so there is no way to determine if it has been added to a drink. And there are no real warning signs before the drug takes efTect. The reported effects of Rohypnol include dizziness, impaired judgement and amnesia, leading to a reduced capability to resist suggestion and a lack of memories afier the incident. A woman in this vulnerable state is easy prey for a rapist. A women can go to a bar, and wake up in her bed eight hours later without being able to remember anything in between. Rohypnol is commonly available

the

streets

for

between

three to ten dollars per pill and comes in a bubble pack, allowing it to be easily mixed in with other, legal medications. Its appearance is per-f?ctly disarming and would not cause any commotion if discovered in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets, coat, or dresser.

The most common problem with reporting Rohypnol-related rape cases is that in most situations, the woman has no recollections of the incident. This causes a great diic mma for prosecutors, who are without their best witness. Rape casescan be difficult to prove even with the victim able to testify to the events, so you can imagine the difficulty in presenting a case where the victim has nothing to say. At the moment, Rohypnolrelated sexual assault is more noticeably a problem in the United States. Texas and Florida are the current hot spots for RohypnoI use. Cases in Canada are certainly much lesscommon, although they have been reported. According to the Kitchener-Waterloo Sexual Assault Support Centre, cases matching the Rohypnol dcscription have been reported in the KW area and the police are currently investigating. One major impediment to these investigations is that if Rohypnol is not identified immediately, the evidence will be flushed from the body within a matter of days. It is illegal to prescribe or sell Rohypnol in either Canada or the United States, but that has hardly prevented its use, as well as its apparent spread. The most common method for Rohypnol to enter North America is through smugghg. However, current laws allow certain drugs to be brought acrOss the border for personal medical use, and large amounts of this drug cross the border in that way. Flunitrazeparn was originally classified as a Schedule IV substance, which meant that it was permitted for sale on the open market. In 1995, in response to reports of wide-spread abuse the drug was updated to Schedule IIT, which limited its sale. However, as abuse of the drug continued, some countries are seeking to ban it altogether. The United States, now redizing the dramatic rise in sexual assaults and drug abuse related to Rohypnoi, is currentlv looking at upgrading it to Schedule I, which would place it in the same category as cocaine and heroin, effectively banning its sale or use. As it stands, possession of Rohypnol is not an offcnce, but the administration ofit to others without their knowledge is iUegal.

Opera:mt just for In any event, the early years of Centre

by Patrick Imprint

Wilkins staff

ontrary to popular belief, not all opera ladies are fZ With our century’s increasing stress upon the physic31 aspects of performance, 3 singer must have a more-or-less average appearance to accompany a greater-than-average musical talent. That thought crossed my mind as I was watching Popem, the latest operatic offering from Opera Ontario (see review on right). The fact that I was skipping hanging out in some smoke-filled bar in favour of watching people singing in a foreign languagc is a tribute to the marketing departments of the Centre in the Square and Opera Ontario. Opera Ontario is a partnership that combines the operatic societies of Hamilton-Wentworth and Kitchener-VVaterioo into one organization. Opera Ontario can cut overhead, bring high-quality performances to hvo separate communities, and provide more and butter performances. The K-W Symphony has a solid reputation when it comes to classical music. Ccjnductor KafE &menian has flouncl critical acclaim worldwide, and the concert hall which bears his name is famed for its acoustics, General Manager Daniel Donaldson boasts that the Ccntre is “arguably the best opera house in the country.” Donaldson tells me that the Centre in the Square was designed with opera in mind. Not mcrc1)’ the occasional pcrf?jrmante of Vivaldi or LMozart, but the heavyweight of all opera - the Wagnerian Ring Qcle, a Herculean quatrology of Norse m\rthology requiring over thirty hours of performance time. It was a flight offalcy, but Donaldson Sil\‘S, “we have the remarkable facility here th& we \vouldn’t have if someone hadn’t had that vision.” The facilinr is so advanced rhat it wasn’t until years a&- it was built that an enormous Luring production of Tjlc 13hntu~~~ uf tllc Opem came close to pushing the Cwtre’s limitations.

in the Square didn’t see much full-scale opera. Oktoberfest did, however, help with a few operettas. Then in 1985, the New York City Opera National Company (NYCONC) made Kitchener-Waterloo the only Canadian stop in their North American tour. Next week (Thursday, Februaq 13) thep bring La Boheme to the Centre. It will be the sixteenth production for the NYCONC and their tenth presentation at the Centre-and also their last. The recent success of Opera Ontario has spurred the company to add a fourth production to their yearly schedule. Donaldson says that the full season means the Centre *in the Square will no longer need to buy the New York performances and he would prefer to fi~us on helping to develop the local talent. Everyone in the business of selling opera to the public emphasizes one thing: Surti tles TM. A simple concept-projecting words above the stage - yet when it was first applied in a 1983 Canadian Opera Company (COC) production of Richard Strauss’ Elekpo, the invention was hailed by everyone from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal. They’re now used around the world, and their use is stressed in all advertising to remove the public notion that operas are fill1 of people merely singing unintelligibly. The COC is Toronto’s largest opera producer, and one of the biggest forces behind selling opera to the generlll public. The Company made a splash earlier this year when they again presented Elektm, one of operas’ darkest offerings featuring nudity, incest, excessive bloodshed, and everything else you’d expect not to see on the classical stage. The less aggressive aspects of the repertoire are hyped to appeal to the same demographic that keep Sylvester Stallone in Lear jets. The descriptions in the COC pamphlet exaggerate the melodramatic aspects ofPuccini, Verdi, Berliozand Poulenc until each one reads iike a precis from w &i&. The COC’s advertising package boasts postmodern lavout straight out of the design handbook o’&yJsdn, with blurry alien-esque photographs, lines everywhere for no apparent reason, and lines of text superimposed, virtually unreadable. Instead of the too-trendy “Generation X,” the COC prefers the term “18 to 29,” and offers a package geared towards the age group. An “18to29”membershipcosts $40, and comes with a package of hip free stuff, for example, a copy of FLARE magazine. Most importantly, members can buy any ticket for $20-a significant reduction from the standard $30-$100 regular price. COC Public Relations Assistant Barbora Krsek explains the program: ‘VVe wLZnt to make sure young people know that opera is an accessible art form -)rou don’t have to be fifty, wealthy and dying to enjo) it.” And more importantly, the Canadian Opera Company wants the GenXers to keep’ buying those tickets even when the!?, m-e fjfty, wealthy rind d+g.

f you stop by the PAC four weeks from today, you’ll find Ontario’s top eight women’s university basketball teams bat&ng it out for a pair of berths to the national championship tournament. For the host Athenas to be one of the OWIAA West division’s four representatives, they’ll have to piay a few more games like last Saturday’s dominant 60” 54 win over the Windsor Lancers. The win boosts the Athenas’ record to 2-7 and elevates them out of the cellar of the West division, which seems to be shaping up into two distinct tiers. First, there are the three top teams, the 7-OWestern Mustangs (currently ranked number one in

Canada), the 4-O Lakehead NorWesters, and the 5-2 Guelph Gryphons. Then, the remaining five teams are separated by just four points in the standings. The Lancers and the W&d Laurier Golden Hawks are tied for the fourth and final playoff spot with six points, but the Athenas and the McMaster Marauders, Waterloo’s opponent tomorrow at noon at the PAC, sit just two points back. Working against Waterloo is the fact that they have played two more games than both Windsor andMcMaster, and one more than Laurier. “We won with defence today,” said first-year head coach Tom O’Brien of his team’s win over Windsor. “When we’ve been success&l this season, it’s been with defence .”

The Athenas scored the first 9 points of the game and sprinted out to a 16-3 lead with Jodi Hawiey scoring 9 of her teamhigh 17 points in this span. A pair of Kelly Burroughs free throws stretched the lead to 21-7 with seven minutes lefi in the first. Waterloo led 32-l 8 at the half. With ,15: 30 remaining, Athena _centre Jacalyn White scored 2 of her 10 points to put UW up by 19,41-22, but over the next seven minutes, the Lancers fought their way back into the game with a 23-7 run to pull within three, 48-45. From then on, the Athenas pulled away to a 60-5 1 lead. Windsor’s Michelle DeHaan hit a trey in the final moments to close the gap to 60-54. White ripped down 14 boards

for Waterloo, while Burroughs and Mary-Frances Lapthorne had 14 and 11 points respectively. “With DeHaan inside, Windsor was able to deny some of the things we like to do with Jacalyn [White] down low,“O’Brien said. “But Jodi [Hawley] and the rest of the team stepped up.” DeHaan led the Lancers with 20 points and six rebounds, while Georgia Risnita finished 15 points and 13 boards. Waterloo won despite shooting just 30 per cent from the field to Windsor’s 34 per cent. Instead, the Athenas did it from the foul line (22-of-29) and three-point range (4-of-@. The Athenas host the M&laster Marauders tomorrow at noon and Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks next Wednesday, February 12 at 6 p.m.

After spending three years running the fall cross country and winter track season here at UW, Dillabaugh took last year off from competition to give birth to a beautifkl baby daughter. ’ “I’ve aliays wanted to run and I have a lot of support,” remarks Sarah. iMy husband, Kirk, brings my daughter to every meet. In fact, I met Kirk through running, while he competed for the University of Toronto.” In the months during and after her pregnancy, Dillabaugh continued training even though she obviously couldn’t compete.

What’s the secret of her success?Sarah doesn’t really do anything unique other than run faster than everybody else. “I go to bed early the night before a competition and eat pasta, but more out of tradition than anything else,” observes Dillabaugh. “My running style is basically a combination of speed and endurance rather than one over the other.” Recently, Mlabaugh attended an International competition in Japan for the 5 km race. lf things work out positively in the future, Sarah hopes to attend the World University Track meet in September, as well as keep an eye out for the Olympic trials in the year 2000. “That’s a long way away,” Imprint file photo smiles the runner.

In addition to out-hitting the Badgers, the Athenas out-passed and out-dug a Brock team, who failed to capitalize on the mistakes Waterloo made. Kasumovic, Dance, Cathy Herzog, Carrie -lierzog and Alyson Woloshyn went flat out for nearly all of the

Athenas truly dominate, blowing the score up to a 12-2 lead after another key block, this time by AnaKasumovic. A mini-rally fro& Brock brought the Badgers closer, but it was too little too late. A few Brock serves that went into the net and a miraculous Athena save that saw the ball dribble over the net on the Badger side sealed the victory. The Athenas won 15-8. The Warriors did not have it so easy with the male Badgers, but still outplayed the Brock team in nearly every department, Jason

Hubbard led the Warriors with 14 kills. Ivan Luke, Mike Shantz and Phil McKee also had strong offensive perfYormances. A hard fought first game saw the Warriors finally open it up to a 10-7 lead. Waterloo then capitalized on some Brock mistakes, and after a thunderous kill up the centre by Ivan Luke, the Warriors went on to take the game 15-9. In the second game, the Badgers jumped out to a 4-O lead, and it got as bad as 9-3 for Brock before Hubbard and Jeff Lingard revved up the Warrior offense with a series of kills. Waterloo eventually fought back to tie the game at 10. The two teams traded the serve again and again until the score stood tied at 13 with the Warriors serving. The ensuing Brock attack met with the solid part of Hubbard’s outstretched hands and it was game point. The next Brock offensive try hit the antenna and the Warriors won it 15-13. In the final game, the Warriors continued to have better success at digging the Brock attack and switching to offense. The Badgers gave up a lot of free balls in the final game, and it was ail over but the crying when a Badger passer shanked the serve reception, making it game point Waterloo. The game andmatch ended with a whimper when a Warrior middle block tapped back a weak kill attempt and the game ended 15-7. The Athenas and Warriors play again today against the University of Western Ontario Mustangs; with the Athenas fighting for the final playoff spot in the west division-at-6 p.m. and the Warriors playing at 8 p.m.

Warrior by Ryan Fayette Imprint staff

ast season, the Waterloo Warriors lost a mere two games after the Christmas break. One of those games was the heartbreaking national championship. Last weekend, the Warriors dropped two games in three days, falling to the hated Western Mustangs 6-2 and the upstart Windsor Lancers 3-2 in a contest that was decided in extra time. The Western game should be treated as a write-off bad result, run through the paper shredder and forgotten. The Windsor game, however, raises serious questions. Windsor is a team &at will be

the Warriors’ chief competition come March. In order to return to the OUAA Final Four at the Waterloo Ret Complex, the Warriors will have to defeat the Lancer squad in a best-of-three series. That is, of course, if Western doesn’t knock off Windsor in the one-game semi-final. Will UW be able to knock offU of W? So far this season, Windsor knocked up the Warriors twice, and the other games have been too close for comfort. Windsor has inexorably displaved Waterloo’s mortality, Man; teams believed the War-clan was too powerful, too overwhelming to be bested for real. Apparently, that is not so. The third question is, “Aren’t

we going back to the big show, the national title? We have unfinished business there to resolve.” Well, it looks as though some hurdles need to be leapt first. Windsor is in the way. WARRIOR NOTES: Jeff Goldie returned to the line-up over the weekend. . Greg Esdale and Peter Brearley scored in the loss to the Lancers. Sheldon Gilchrist earned two helpskies. . In the national poll, Waterloo (15 5) dropped to seventh and Guelph, at 18-2, jumped up to number five. . .It may seem paranoid to worn’ about the Warriors afier dropping three of their previous five matches. However, we’re not used to that sort of treatment. Hey, we’re not the Leafs here!

pon receiving the results of the track team from the McGill Invitational Meet, a fan might think the Warriors and the Athenas would have to reach a plateau in the way of performances. You can’t just keep getting faster every meet! Qr can you? That’s what the track team proved f;llse this past weekend at the U of T athletic comtAex. Thev pushed on to faster Ad bette; 6mes showing the country that this university, despite the setback of not having a track, is one of the nation’s leaders on the indoor oval. Inspiring the team to race hard have been the Dynamic Duo of Judith Leroy and Sarah Dillabaugh. In the 1OOOmthe two ran away from the competition and took the top two spots. Their times place them in front of all the other women in the country and even some of the men! Dillabaugh’s effort of 2148.87 is now the new mark for those going after the varsity record. Following in the these fast footsteps are the rookies, Kim Ross and Megan Hamilton, who are showing that Waterloo has a bright future once the Dynamic Duo graduate. Ross’s time won her heat and Hamilton’s time was good for a PB. On the straight trackHeather Moyse and Jill Bennett showed how the sprints were meant to be run. Moyse rook second in the 60m with a time of 7.84 and she stiil doesn’t know how quicWy she can actually go. Moyse then took that.60 speed and transferred it to the triple jump runway popping off a leap of 10.86 which was good enough for a second place

and a new varsity record. Bennett hurtled her way to number one this weekend with her best time of the season, 9.01, just narrowly missing the CIAU standard. The Athena’s 60Um team of Rachel Nickie, Blanka Sharma, and Lvnn Coon showed its tremendous depth taking second, fifth, and sixth respectively with N&e’s time placing her in the top ten in the country. Not bad for her first 600m of the season. To cap off the women’s day the 4x40Om relay of Dillabaugh, Leroy, Ross and Coon took second just on the heels of U of T. Coon’s PB run kept the ladies in contention till the bitter end. The Warriors, not wanting to be left out of the spotlight, geared up for a great meet at U of T and their results shone through. John Smith, the rookie sprinter, showing more pizzazz than his name in the 60m, translated his quick starts into speedy times and a spot in the B final. Kwame Smart, Tabias ,Cocker, and Rob Giesen were just a few other Warriors on Smith’s heels. The 600m proved to be a demonstration sport as fast man Tulu Makonnen attempted this distance for the first time. Used to the blistering pace of the 200 and 300 Tulu screamed through 4OOm with the pack well in the rear. The last lap came down to perseverance and raw strength as Tulu pressed to finish in a respectable time. When asked how he felt after the race he reported “My ass is on fire”! Sometimes that’s what

Chris McPherson gave a workshop on how to run the 300m taking second place over all. Good performances were also given by: recovering hamstring patient Jeremy Brown, Tory Locker, John Smith, Rob Giesen and Cohn Alie. Chris Bastie was also there. In the field the Warriors are incredibly strong this year. A welcome surprise came from Jimmy Petrie, a DL patient who has come back in fine form. His triple jump of 13.5m clinched second spot in the event and puts him on the road to CIAU standard. Fred Hazelton grabbed third and went to join teammate Drew Guckenburger (yes that’s his real name) in the long jump. Both have been consistently jumping in the 6m range all season despite an injured ankle on Gukenbuger’s part. Soaring high at his meet was Bill Miller in the pole vault. Miller has already made CI standard and is honing his skills for a big performance at 0’s at York and CIAU’s in Windsor. The men’s relay teams put in a strong showing with the 4x400m relay team narrowly missing the win in a PB time of 3:28.19. The last event of the day saw the men’s 4x80&n relay of Greg Burns, Chris Payton, Mike Tripp, and John Lofranco running a solid race with PI3 splits by Tripe and Lofranco.

He’s a Patriot. No, wait! He’s a Jet. He’s a head coach. No, wait! He’s a “consultant.” He’s a big tuna. This all smells pretty fishy. He’s all things to all men, and maybe one lucky football team. He’s Bill Parcells, and I don’t realla care what he is. ’ As the soap opera story involving Bill Parcells continues to unfold, one thing has become painfully apparent: all sides involved should be drawn and quartered for their respective roles. The whole situation has gotten completely out of hand with this weeks announcement that Parcells has accepted a position as a %onsultant” with the New York Jets for the upcoming season. At the completion of the season he will become head coach, taking over for long- time Parcells assistant Bill Belichick, who has become the interim head coach for the Jets. Obviously, this was done to circumvent NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabuc’s ruling that upheld Patriot owner Bob &-aft’s exclusive rights to Parcells as a head coach for next season. Parcells is allowed to hold a position with mother team, supposedly, so lmg asit is not in a coaching or equiva-

After the most lucrative and frantic off-season in the history of professional sports, the NBA comes chugging into the midway point of the season with the usual blend of surprises, disappointments and expected results. Here’s a look at the players who deserve to be recognized as a&stars in each conference.

Power Forward: Vin Baker, Milwatikee Buch 22.0 PPG 10.6 RPG 2.6 APG - The most underrated player in the league, he has put up great numbers the last two seasons. Small Forward: Grant Hill, Detroit P&ons 21.4 PPG 8.7 RI’G 68 APG - The most complete player in the game, he never fails to post great numbers. Centre: Patrick Ewing, Nm 2%-k KizicS 21.4 PPG 10.7 RPG 1.8 APG - He doesn’t usually travel more than two or three steps, but he’lI take the trip to the all-star game. Also, Alonzo Mourning is a tick. Shooting

lent capacity, So, who’s right? Nobodv. Parcells” is wrong for leaving the Patriots and causing the uproar in the first place. First, he made absolutely no attempt to squash rumours that he was quitting after the Super Bowl. How is a team supposed to concentrate on the big game when they know that the coach thar got them there will probably be gone next season? Hell, Parcells didn’t even take the same plane as the team after their loss to Green Bay. Parcells is a control freak who wanted more say in personnel decisions. Bill, your job is to coach, that’s vour title. You can ask for plavers, but don’t cry when you carA get what you want. If your team is losing, you can then blame it on management for not giving you the proper tools to do the job. But your team wasn’t losing, they got to the Super Bowl. Management seems to be doing their part of the job, perhaps you should have thought more about doing yours. , The Jets are wrong for not denying the rumcurs about Parcells while he was still coaching the Patriots. Why didn’t they

Jayson WiUiams, New Jemy Nets 14.8 PPG 14.9 RPG I.2 APG Best young rebounder in the league and always willing to provide a great quote. Damon Stoudamire, Toronto Raptim 20.0 PPG 4.0 RPG 8.4 APG - A good on-court leader, a good passer, but really needs to work on shooting. Would be a 25 point lock every night with better percentage shots. Western A12-Star Team Power Forward: Karl Malone, UtahJazz 26.5 PPG 11.0 RIG 4.6 APG - Benefits from playing with the best pure point guard in the game, but always comes through in the clutch. Small Forward: Tom Gugliotta, Milznesota Timbenvolve~ 22.5 PPG 9.0 RPG 3.7 APG - Think anyone in Minnesota remembers Donyell Marshali? Centre: Hakeem Olajuwon, Homtma Rockets 24.4 PPG 9.3 RPG 3.0 APG - Class and performance, day in, day out. And 1 hate Shaq. With a passion. Shooting Guard: Mitch Richmond, Sacmpnento Kinds 25.4 PPG 4.3 RPG 4.1 APG - If he only had support he woddn’t be toiling in obscurity* Point Guard: Gary Payton,

Friday, February 7, 1997 just come out and say that they wanted him next season? That’s what they basically implied with their silence on the matter. They’re also wrong for setting a dangerous precedent that opens the door for many an unhappy coach around the league by attempting to use this loophole in Tagliabue’s ruling. Finally, Bob &-aft and the Patriots are wrong for expecting outlandish compensation from the Jets for Parcells. The number one . pick in the draft given to a SuFr Bowl team as compensation for a coach? Other good, young Jets players for a coach? You’ve got to be kidding me. Sure, Kraft should be miffed and expect something for what the Jets are trying to do, but he’s just being greedy. Wait, that’s it. Greed. That’s what it’s all about. Parcells is greedy for money and power. The Jets are greedy for wins and season ticket money. The Patriots are greedy for an easv number one draft pick for a coach who wasn’t going to be with them anyway. They’re probably greedy for money too. No matter what happens, these characters have created a story involving a web of intrigue and deceit that can rival any cheesy Shannon Tweed B-movie, except that there’s no nudity involved. Unless, of course, someone gets the pants sued off of them or has to give the shirt off their back. How pathetic.

Sea& Stipmm’cs 22.2 PPG 4,3 IX.PG 7.3 APG - When he’s happy, he’s an offensive and defensive force. It’s keeping him happy that’s the hard part.

Mark Jackson, Denver Nzggea 10.3 PPG 5.3 RPG 12.5 APG Making the best ofbeing in Denver by leading the league in assists. LatreII Sprewell, Golden State W~mims 25.7 PPG 4.8 RPG 6.2 APG - He’s an asshole most of the time, but when he’s not, he’s one ofthe best talents in the league. And now, for a little fun, and to gratuitously extend the dimensions of this writing exercise, I present to you a couple of amusingly different all-star teams:

C Priest Lauderdale, Hawks F Othella Harrington, Rockets F Joe Smith, Wanion G Moo&e Norris, Grizzlier G Pooh Richardson, Clippers

en-Xers, being the perpetually cynical group that we are, can agree on. nothing, Are we victims of a shrinking job market or pathetic whiners? Is Liberalism or the “New Right” the way to go? Is “alternative” music where it’s at or a crap marketing term for generic grunge? The debates rage on. There is one thing though, that unites the twenty and early thirty something consciousness, a universal truth held by all, with dissenters mocked endlessly. That truth? Star Wars kicks ass. On a quiet winter weekend, when movie revenues are traditionally low, George Lucas’ epic managed to haul in $36 million, the biggest January opening weekend for a movie ever. Ail that money for a flick twenty years old, widely available for years on video, containing nothing more than a couple of new scenes and enhanced graphics. Not bad for what was an expected bomb. The continued successof the

Star Wars saga hinges on its ability to take those age-old archetypes of quest and good vs. evil, and make them brand new all over again. And, like any good story steeped in those qualities, it takes on a certain timelessness evil will always battle good, quests will always be taken, and so forth. Juxtaposed against this is the fact that nothing dates itselfworse than science fiction. Not only does technology constantly surpass the imagination of authors, but on film stuff like those dials and switches on the original StarTreli bridge are laughable today. Similarly, Star W4rs is starting to look dated, with bluescreening techniques primitive by today’s standards. This new print eliminates these glitches, and that’s ultimately the biggest selling point of this new version. Those swooping Xwings, the Millenium Falcon, and the explosion ofAlderaan, to name only three, look just stunning, slick enough to have been made yesterday. Tn fact, 70 per cent of the frames in the fitm were touched up in some way shape or form, even if it was just digitally enhancing the colours on laser beams. So now we have a film that not only has a timeless story to it, but the look and feel of the film, 70s haircuts not withstanding, are

totally up to date. The only major aspect ILM missed was the Atari 2600~style graphics on any computer in the movie. To me this would be a logical place to start any updating of Star Wars, and one would assume that if they can create a digitized Jabba the Hutt a more up-to-date display on the Millenium Falcon’s targeting computer should be no problem. This is a small point, but if you’re in for a dime you might aswell be in for a dollar. Amidst all the hoopla there is a nagging thought that this sort of doctoring shouldn’t be done. Star Wars circa 1977 represented a quantum leap forward in special effects technology at the time,

and that memory should be preserved in people’s minds as much as the story itself. To put it another way, could you picture taking the original%z@&zfl, a f&n whose efl?ectsmarveled audiences in 1933, and putting it under the same treatment? Or how about Wur of the Wort’ds? Or 2001: A Space Odysqr? This question is but one part of the continuing debate over digital effects in film, and would require an essaybigger than I want to write to ponder effectively. But that’s all just talk, and if you cut out all this pretention and just watch the movie, it damn well blows you away, just like it alwavs did. The new little bits (which I won’t detail and spoil the surprise

- let’s just say the assault on the Death Star is vastly improved) sent gasps of awe through the theatre. It’s like finding two pages stuck together in a favourite bwk you’ve read, and that little bit of new info gives the whole thing the thrill that you felt the first time you experienced it. Take a young kid to see it for the first time. See it if you’re in first year and weren’t alive when it was first came out. See it even if you saw it before, but don’t remember it. See it ifyou remember it in the theatre, loved it, and want that wide-eyed feeling back again. See it because it’s still, and always will be, a f&king great piece of cinema. To quote Obi-Wan, 5t binds the galaxy together.”

A sorrv mess

FASS presents 1001 Arthurian Knights directed by Anita lG&w playing at the Humanities Theatre Feb. 7-8

happening here if you know the way the FASS script, an entirely original work every year, is composed. A committee of tiiters is headed by a chief scriptwriter. Each year a theme is picked by FASS members at an AGM, and the writers (numbering 29 in all this year) spend the better part of a year hammering out a finished product around the idea, And there’s the problem. The story runs exactly as if 29 people are writing it - wildly inconsistent, and N of useless scenes that are there because some writer stumbled upon a brilliant idea and chucked it into the brew. As such we get a “plot” like this: some students are transported off to King Arthur’s court in different universes. They each play out vaguely Arthurian scenes with different Lancelots, Merlins etc. (it’s dserent universes, see) alJ of which have nothing to do with one another. Then, in the most shameless and pathetic use of a D3.u lik Macbina I’ve ever seen,

shells, friendships are born, the odd relationship might- pop up. Who could fault that? There’s just one problem though, and that becomes apparent in the very first scene. Whatever its intentions, the bottom line is that FASS is performing to people who expect to be entertained. And that just isn’t happening here. In fact, the script to 1001 Artbtikn Kjzz~hts is not very good. Or rather, it’s kinda bad. Actually, in parts, if’s dreadful. Though it’s riddled with characteristically FASSesque juvenile puns and grade seven-level humour, this is in fact not its greatest shortcoming.

the characters are all brought back to good 01’ Uvv - and that’s it. Now granted the scriptwriters do annually face the daunting task of trying to find places for 70+ cast members, who ofien get two parts. However, by-not carrying over characters scene to scene, and by not keeping the same people playing the cast of Camelot, it not only confiws people, but the lack of recognition of characters means the audience simply doesn’t care about any of them. We barely get to know one Arthur, and we’re onto the next universe! And all because someone on the script writing committee wanted gangsters or Bomber scenes shoved into the whole sorry mess. So FASS should take this as a challenge. Their script writing method desperately needs o\rerhaul. Elect a small staff of five or six crackerjack writers at the AGM, and have them work togpdwr to weave characters people latch onto, instead of a endless deluge of one- timers.

Friday, February 7, 1997 Amongst all the disjointedness are some fine performances and flashes of insdired writing. Paul M&one as a randy King Arthur steals the show. He nails the sense of timing so crucial to farcical comedy, and he’s helped by a scene that’s smartly written and highlighted by a fine musical number to the tune of “Herod’s Song” fromJestis Christ Sakperstar. Hugh M. Morrison spoofing Hercule Poirot would be bangon if he just did it triple time (this is cmdy after all). Other talented actors would include Chris Goddard as Robin Hood and Andrea McPhee’s spunky Queen Guinevere. For sure, a number of performances aren’t super-professional, and the dancing and singing is a little awkward at times. But it’s not supposed to be that way, it’s supposed to be about people getting on stage and having a blast and all the great stuff1 talked about the beginning. BUT - and this is a sumo wrestler-s&d but - they need words in their mouths that can match all the other great things FASS is about. To have it any other way is criminal.

ast Friday the Volcano erupted with the fiery sounds of Big Rude Jake and the Gentleman Players. The downtown Kitchener club provided the setting for this six piece from Toronto to deliver their style of 90’s swing to the people of me tri-ci ties. A style that couples humour and anger with extraordinary music. After a tedious, two hour wait the headliners hit the stage. At first I suspected the delay was a ploy on the part of the venue’s management to manipulate its patrons to buy more booze in order to alleviate their boredom. My conspiracy theory went sour, however, when I discovered that the opening act, Taxi Chain, failed to appear for reasons that are still unknown. With or without Taxi Chain the shoti had to go on. In that spirit Big Rude Jake and the Gentleman Piayers boarded the stage decked out in the threads of mobsters circa 1949. Over the next two hours the group kept the crowd dancing like a throng of marionettes. A poster for sale at the show pigeon-holes Big Rude Jake’s genre as “swing punk,” but rhat description lacks creative insight. I woulddescribe it aslounge music for people who hate their parents. And even that analysis neglects the eclectic rhythms of the sextet. With songs such as Y’he Artist,” “Swing Baby” and “Blue Pa-

riah” the group covered a range of music that stretched from the mournful sounds of a Yiddish dirge to the fun-filled cadenza of a Cuban mambo. Using plebeian lyrical themes is how Big Rude Jake earned his reputation as “The Rudest Bastard Of Them All.” Lyrics that use wit and wrath toxover such topics as the murder of celebrities to the virtues of oral sex. To be an audience member at the show was to be a witness to six men with boundless enthusiasm for every moment on stage. When they weren’t grappling for control of the microphone, trumpet player, Michael Johnson and or-

ganist, James Stager bounced off the walls while riding the momentum of the music. Finally, at the end of the second encore the six piece were soaked and exhausted after the strain of a fantastic performance. My only reservations about the band are limited to the idea that people mav confuse showmansl-iip for noGe1t-yand art for a gimmick. Despite the frivolous nature of this band, Big Rude Jake is a musical talent that deserves serious attention, If you missed the show on Friday don’t worry. Like sweet, smelling flowers, Big Rude Jake will return in the spring.

eralded as Civihhwz on steroids, Destiny, although an ambitious and incredibly large game, fails to live up to Sid Meier’s classic. Like Civ, Destiny puts the player in the driver’s seat of an ancient civilization and manages its growth from the stone age to the spaceage. The player can watch her cities, regions, and nations develop, exploiting local resources, dealing with unemployment, and waging war on enemy peoples. Technology is developed by allocating resources and “ideas” to various fields (such as agriculture, industry, and military). The player wins if she eradicates the other civilizations from the planet, or is the first to build a space launch facility. Ddny aims high. It offers new features like animated battle sequences, and micro-management of resources. But it is very difficult to play. What these am bitious new items succeed in doing is bludgeon you over the head with apparently trivial details. The documentation is over-

loaded with imormation and it’s too difficult to find specific deta.iIs.The interface is cumbersome, and the game has a bizarre autopilot feature that will occasionally override your instructions in favour of something the computer prefers I Unquestionably, Destiny oEers more depth than Civ, but rather than adding to the game, it only manages to muddle things.

Like other recent I-magic products like Decathlonand Cil?i& War, Destiny is designed for Windows 95, and keeps the same sterile Windows 95 window interface. Blah. Don’t rule it out yet, though. With some great ideas, Imagic has remarkable potential in Dertirzy; but sadly, it fails to live up to its claims. Wait for Deniny 17.

John Williams & the London Symphony Orchestra Star Wars OST Ban&a Records by Greg Picken Imprint staff

ohn Williams is one of the most talented soundtrack composers in Hollywood. Back in 1976, he was hired to write the score for a new space adventure movie. The director was very impressed with the use of classical music by Stan@ Ku brick in scoring 2001: A Space Odyssey. He wanted the same feel for his movie that Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra” brought to 2001. The result became one of the most easily recognized themes of all time and one of the greatest Mf-ns ever: Star Wars. In conjunction with the theatrica1 x-release of the Star Wars trilogy, the original score has been repackaged, first as a special collectors edition, then a general release.The collectors edition comes in the slim book package, featuring a thirty page book detailing John Williams thoughts on each track, two CDs containing all the original pieces in their unedited form, plus some special bonuses. The first CD features four hidden tracks, containing four other takes Of the main title theme. They provide an interesting progression,

CDs Fve ever seen. The highlight of this album is something that exists in almost every J Williams composition. He follows the Wagnerian technique of “leitmotif,” which involves writing melodies that are linked to specific characters. The score then becomes a permutation of these themes, reflecting the mood and emotions of the characters. There are basic themes for Luke, which make up the bulk of the main theme, and there is the theme of the Empire. &s well, he sprinkles the soundtrack with specific touches for each character. There’s one for the Sandpeople, one for Leia, and others. Each of these tracks is rendered beautifully, digitally remastcrcd from the original recordings, providing a crystal clear listening experience that leaves your mind filling in the sounds and dialogue that you remember from the movie.

In today’s era of alternative compilations doubling as soundtracks, an orchestral soundtrack is a welcome oasis. John Williams’ talent for creating memorable cinematic themes is evidenced by his catalog of work: Jaws, the Star Wars trilogy, JuTask Park, Raiden ofthe LostArk and dozens more. All of them with very distinctive, original compositions that we remember asmuch asthe films themselves. From the first blast of the orchestra after the 20& Century Fox anthem, to the final strains as the credits roll, it is obvious why this recording ranks as one of the most popular scores of all time, and with the renewed awareness of the film, the number of people who enjoy the work of John Williams can’t help but increase.

No, this isn’t a great album by any definition ofthe word, just mediocre. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Before hearing this, I wouldn’t have considered the violin to be a jazz instrument, but Grappelli pulls it off with style and ease. Other than that, there isn’t a lot that really stands out about this recording. The players are very energetic, the solos are well

on the sheet music

(though

doing a really good job of it) but held back that something extra that gives the great jazz recordings their greatness. Of course, got all recordings can be great, and, like I said, mediocre jazz is still better than most of the crap out there.

They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but sometimes it can be a good indication. When I first saw this album, I could already hear the emotional singing and the interesting mix of instruments and rhythm. While reminiscent of a Lighter, more accessible Tori Amos, Leah adds a bit of her own style to the songs, which certainly separates the two. As a co-writer of all the songs with her producer Rick Neigher, she certainly unveils herself. On her debut album, this 23year old singer/songwriter acquits herself well and her songs run the emotional gamut from a new love to those of an abused child. Throughout the album she exhibits her amazing voice from the haunting whisper on “You Make Me Remember,” to the harsh clamors of her first single “It’s Alright, It’s OK,” to the beautim softness on “Imagining You,” perhaps the only ‘happy’ song of the

eleven. As she says: ‘The emotions that I have repressed in the past and now reveal are darker and uglier.” One of the more compellingsongs on the album, “Probiem Child,“documents a relationship she witnessed between a abused boy and his parents. Musically, there are many interesting songs on the album, and all complement her excellent voice. Having been trained in classical piano, many songs have nice, simple melodies, while others, such as the polyrhythmic “It’s Alright, It’s OK” are complex and diverse. Her story of successis just as interesting as her music. After spending her youth playing piano, alone and in pick-up bands, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. While singing in the local clubs, she was working as a waitress in a diner. One day, some record executives were discussing new talent. Seizing the opportuni~, she ran home md got back in time to give her tape to one of the men as he was leaving. The next day he returned, and a few weeks later I/Teiledwas being recorded. The result is the eleven song autobiography, which left Leah by her own admission, happy and satisfied.

a new CD, It just goes this album of the band happens to be the son of Bob Dylan, so what other career options did he have to choose from? This album is very bland, and after listening to it once, I wanted to go and study and hand in all my assignments early. This album isn’t totally devoid of its merits, but doesn’t really break any musical ground that hasn’t been touched upon by the likes of the Counting Crows, Cracker, or Bruce Springsteen, for that matter.

’ If there is one color to describe this album, it is certainly blue. Once again Darden Smith has complied ten original songs into a great album. The singer/songwriter’s gritty, comforting vocals, along with the mandatory acoustic guitar, mix into the electric guitar, bass,percussion and keyboard to form a sound obviously routed in folk but with a country edge, probably best described as folk/country pop, reminiscent of Bruce Cockburn and Gordon Lightfoot. The songs deal mainly with emotions and personal issues, with telling lyrics and beautif4 melodies, and all were written by Darden himself, with two being collaborations. -MO
