Senate to discuss Microsoft partnership Confidential agreement yet to be signed Chris Edey

"Based on the fact I sheet, Feds believed an agreement had been signed."

IMPRINTSTAFF

A month after itwas first announced, UW's controversial $2.3d o n partnershipwith Microsoft C a n a d a d be &scusscd on the senate floor on September 16. This is partly in response to a request by the faculty association of the Univcrsity of Waterloo to have a "full airing of the issues." Wlule all members of the senate d be given their chance to express their views on theissue, novote has been schcdulcd. Howevcr, evenin thq event of a hypotheucal vote a w n s t the partnershp, the senate has no jurisdiction over UW's ability to enter into or sign agreements. Whcre the senate does have jurisdictionis over changes in the content of courscs taught at UW. The agreement includes the addition of Microsoft's C# (pronouncedc-sharp) prograrnminglanguageto ECE 150's curriculum as well as the creation ofa "high school outreach initiativecalled PCE] 050." Senatebylaw 9 stipulates that the undergraduate council must "consider and approve allnewundergraduate courses, the deletion of undergraduatecourses and proposed minor changes to existing undergradu-

Ryan 0 ' ~ o n n o r ate coursesand programs." However, universitya h s t r a t i o n and the electrical and computcr cngmccring department insist that the adhtion of C# is not a curriculum change and thcrcfore does not have togo through undergraduate council, since no changes are beingmade to the course description which appears in UW's course catalogue. Unlcss thcrc is a change to the course description, undergraduate council does not have to be involved. According to the statementissued by Sujeet Chaudhuri, dean of the faculty of engineering,"the use of C# is under discussion in the cumculum committee in the department ofelectrical and computer engineering for theredesignofacourse for September 2003." He also added that the academicintegbtyofthe facultywas"never compromised and wdl not be compromised" by the partnership. Vic DiCiccio, h e c t o r ofthe UW Institute for Computer Rcsearch,in&catcdthat the issue will be further discussed by scvcral other committees withn the faculty of engineering, to involve as many "eyes, people and brains" as possible. Wayne Loucks, associatedean for undergraduate studlesin electticaland computer enginccring, said that under normal circumstancesa change in aprogrammhglangmgeis notamajor changc, "unlcss it affccts thc course."

"I will be bringing it up, although I am not sure if it [undergraduate councilj is thc right forum," he said. O'Connor also noted that "the languages [taught in ECE 1501have been changed four times over the past 10 years. Is it a major change? That's open to interpretation." It may come as a surprise to many students that the agreement has not yet been signed.O'Connor confirmed this fact to Imprint saying "Dr. [Anthony] Vanclli [the chair of the department ofelecuicaland computer engincering] stated, in a meeting on September 6withmyself and senator Douglas Stebila, that no agreement has been signed." O'Coiino; added that the Ijedswere caught offguard by the r'cvelation,@venthat they believed that the deal had been iinahzed at the time oftheiniaalannouncement "The Feds, based on the Microsoft press release and the fact sheet [released by UW on August 161, we as an organizationbelieved that an agreementhad been signed," he said. I t is almost assured that the upcoming senatemcctingwill feature a blunt exchange of opinions regarding thc Microsoft issue as both supporters and opponents of the agreement endeavour to make their cases. The fact that thc agrecmcnt is still unsigneddperhaps draw evenmorc attention to the senate debate.

UW holds kev to Feds liauor J

There are four orgamzauons on campus that hold liquor licences,yet there are five that serve alcohol Thc four are Umversity of Waterloo, Unlverslty Club, St Jerome's Umverslq and Graduate Student Assouanon. The odd one out and the business mth, by far, thc largest bar operaaons is the Federauon of Students On Wednesday mght, Bombshelter patrons were crowded into one half of the pano becausc there were problems m t h the apphcanon for the newly expanded part of the paao

ment is one patron for every 1.11 square metres, or 12 square feet. The indoor section of the Bomber is licenced for 373 patrons, and the capacity of the old patio was 165.The old patio is 240 square metres and the extension of 242 square metres roughly doubles it. The whole new patio has a capacity of 434. This is more than doublc thecurrentlicensedcapacity due to another restriction or a patio expansion in the past that was not accompaniedby alicence extension. Ground Zero, which was uscd as an in-bar line or waiting area, won't bc uscd this year according to DiLdo. Director of business operations Bud Walker holds the licence for the university and hence for the Feds. Speaking on the university as licenceholder, Walker said, "It gives the university more control over the

service ofalcohol on campus. Alcohol is important because when you look at instances of assault or violence,alcoholis ofteninvolved and we want to make sure we minimize that." Agreements between the Feds and UW require the university to be the licence holder and allalcohol provision and distributions must go through the university. The Feds avoid some liability by allowing their the Licence to be held by a third party. Thcrc would be no particular problem if Feds bar operations were as responsible with their own liccncc as they are now. The BarSafe staff training program onc thing that would ensure that. A section of theliquor licence regulations requires agrccments on relationships like the one between Feds and the university to be filed with AGCO.

UW business operations is the branch ofthe university that manages the liquor licence. In June, DiLullo initiated the reapplication proccss by contactingDonnaSchellof UW Business Operations. As far as Di1,ullo knew, the request would take 60 days to process, p i n g a buffer of 90 days before his goal of a fall term opening. Unfortunately, thcprocess experienced a series of setbacks that delayed the application submission unul the end of this wcck when Gary Kosar d finahse the bluepnnt5 needed in the re-apphcaaonpackagc The delay began mth Di1,ullo's

first summer phone call to Schell, at which point he dscovered that she was on vacation. Upon her return in early July, DiLullo learned that the licence hadnot been touched, butwas reassured that it would soon be processed alongwith otherrcapplications. Since more than one establishmcnt on campuswas altercd, the individual rc-application packages were grouped into onc rc-application to save time. In early August, D i L d o dscoveredthat thcpackage had yetto be sent. DiLullo contactedBud Walker, director of UW Business Operations, to get the package separated from the group package for fast-tracked approval. Since DiLullo was under thc impressionthat thc packagewas being processed, he felt that there was no nced to unplement a backup plan to use temporary ltcences allotted to the universitv After dlscovenng- that the backup plan had expired, the process for a temporary licence would take 30 days for approval, DiLullo lost h s goal of a fall opemng.

With other construction on campus, the library is regaining those floors. Accordtng to Michael Skelton,thc libraq renovaaons man ager, the goal of the renovanons is to spread the collecuonout andlncrease the study space avdable for students.

Finding a piece of myself in drag

UNDEFEATED Last weekend I went to a drag show in Hamilton. While it was not thc first timc that I had ever attended such an event, it was the first time that I derived such pleasure from it. And I t h d what was most interesting for me was how my conceptions of these "women" changed so drastically from the time I sat down to the time that I left the bar to go home. First and foremost, I must say that I did not go to the Embassy Club that night to watch drag quccns lip sync. My real intent was to dance up a storm; however, those expectations werc not fulf~Ued due to a friend of mine who despises dance floors and a perhaps self-conscious rcfusal on my own part to dance alone. It's sort of funny to go to a gay bar and care so much about what everybody thinks about you. Oh well, that's just me I

I I

guess! Well anyway, I was not content to sit at a table in the bar for the night, drinhng and yelling over blasting music, so we ventured outside. Here to my wandering eyes appeared four drag queens, ever so queer. So we sat down at a table in thc front row and 1 havc to admit, I was extremelyembarrassed. Here was a 40-something year-old man, dressed in somc sort of grccn frock, who goes by the name "Beverly", swooning me in my seat. I couldn't run away fast enough. Then, for some comedic relief, on came "Sadie," decked out in black leather and a perm. Oh, how I laughcd and laughed and laughed at how ridiculous they were. I prided mysclf in that momcnt on how down-to-earth I knew I really was. "I am such a good gay person," I said to myself. But then something started to happen. I began to really enjoy the show and aftcr a whilc I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of the queens. Additionally, I began to really feel for them. I began to see "Beverly" and "Sadie" for what they wcrc -mcn that wcrcn't shamcful, thcy wcrcn't embarrassed, thcywcrc proud. And 1 began to r e d m that

any of them would have gone onto that dance floor that mght and danced alone I couldn't do that. I was too ashamed of what people mght t h k As thcy moved and grooved on that picmc-table-stage,I reahzed how ~mpressedI was with them. They had more guts and pnde m themselves then I had ever had m myself By the end of the evemng I was clapping, singmg along, even dancing in my seat. Yes, I suil laughcd and laughed and laughed,

but now because I enjoyed their performance so much, and because they were laughing too. Nearing the end of the show 1approached "Bevcrly" to share with hcr my sincere appreciation for herperfomance. "Beverly, I thought you did a really great job tonight," I said. Thankful for the c o m p h e n t , her eyes glimmered as she put a hand on my shoulder. That night I grew a bit as a person, not because 1sat and watchcd a drag quccn show and

really enjoyedit, but because I was able to realize something lacking in mysclf. I rcalized that night that I lack a certain amount of courage and pride in myself -pride to go out and bc who I am, cven if it means s o m e h g small like dancing all alone. 1 only wish that "Beverly" and "Sadie" and the othcr girls might read h s article and know how they reallyreached me. Great job ladics, and kccp on truckm'!

YOU! OFF MY PLANET! The first Bomber Wednesday is the stuff legends are made of. 1never miss it and 1 think it's a shame so many people get stuck in line waiting because the placeis already jammed to overflowing.

h a m g assured the beds that evcmh~nn would be taken carc of in , time, didn't apply for the expanded licencewithin the requiredtimeframe. Not to scare all the newly-arrived frosh, but act used to this sort of

thing. It's the one t h g 1 can't stand about this school. The administration, off in its own bureaucratic bubble, loves to shaft students in the most flippant ways, for no other apparent reason than to just piss us all off. I'm not talking about dcrcgulation, or cost cutting, or inflated salaries or anything Mie that. I mean insulting things - things that aren't really necessary at all and that thc administration has nothing to gain from by doing, other than cause student grief. I .as year, students were promised an expanded Great Hall in the SLC. Guess what? It's not happening. Instcad, wc're getting an extra floor. This, aftcr having held a referendum on the issue. I'm sure thcy'rc laughing themselves sick, thinking what suckers the students are. They tell us one thing, we vote on it and thcn they pull a classic bait and switch. Here -you guys might have voted on this, but now we're going to do this instead, ok? I don't know what you might want to call that, but I call it outright lying. The Bomber patio fiasco is even more pointless. The Feds were prepared to apply for a temporary

licence for the new patio months ago to ensure that it would be open for the first Bomber Wednesday. Having got a promise of a timely permanent permit from a h s u a don, the Feds naturally chdn't pursue the temporary licence. When news broke during frosh week than the application wasn't going to be submitted untd Novcmbcr, it was too latc for the Feds to secure a temporary licence. This is utter stupidity. If the administration wasn't going to process the application in time not surprising, given the speed at which they work -why didn't they just tell the Feds in the first place? It malics you wonder if our administration not only carcs little about students, but rather, enjoys causingus grief. The Feds executive, our elected representatives, seem to be ignored or dismissed as token figureheads. Things as simple as just telling the truth seem to be beyond the ability of the university administration. Oftcn, administration isn't going to do what students want. Fine. I just wish they'd stop lying to us about what theyare going to do.

Introduction to adulthood Nick Walsh COMMUNITY EDITORIAL

My fellow frosh can safely say now, after onentauon week, that the atmosphere here at Waterloo is a tremendous contrast from the hfestyle m h g h school. I, an environmental studles student, feel that my frosh week was most ltkely subconsc~ouslyorgamzed to introduce the f~st-yearstudents to three different aspects of adulthood. The first -alcohol, and lots of lt. L i m g away from homc for the first time allows a great number of students the o p p o m t y to escape the days when dad would permit you to down only a sip of h s Molson Canadian if it meant that you would grow up to become a "healthy" beer dnnker. Alcoholis everywhcrc. Whether

you were steppmg out for a late mght stroll back to residence or franacally searchmgout your parked car so youcould return back to your off-campus home, you witnessed students floppmg over themselves and each other due to a httle ovcrintoxlcanon. Although I personally did not pamcipate in the acuvlues sunoundmgalcohol, 1can safely say that my good timc was not hished. The second aspect of adulthood mtroduced to frosh last week was the ever-popular gamblmg. I don't know about you, but I thought Monte Carlo Nlght, on the whole, felt surreahsac (ths is the part where you all nod your head and agree). It was very successful in the fact that an enormous number of students dccldcd to show up and parncipate in the events, however,

I feel that my frosh week was subconsciously organized to introduce the firstyear students to different aspects of adulthood.

I I

the crowded spaces, the lack of recychng bms and the absurdity of gamblmg without the actual possiblhty of w m m g sums of money made for a frustratmg evening for a number of students. "I beheve it p o n t e Carlo Night] would have been a lot less irntaang if it was actually posslble to get

from one end of the SLC to the other in less than a half hour," said a first-year arts student. The only thng that made the night worthwhile for me, othet than spending tune ulth my close fnends, were the delicious and nutritious dnnks offered. Last, but defimtely not least, would have to be, of course, sex. A couple thousand half-naked students, who are dancmg around at or near the top of their hormonal spectrum, has got to lead to somedung. (And those gggling at the preceedmg statement know exactly what I mean.) Unfortunately, and I do stress "unfortu-

nately," I was not able to attend the toga party due to pnor engage ments, however, those I dld speak to, mcludmg Rupa Bhatt, another first-year arts student, had nothmg but prase for Saturday mghts' cvcnts. "Toga party/night turned out even better than I had thought." Frosh week, for me, ltke the malonty of first-year students, comes down to one quesuon, and the answer to h s quesuon is the decidmgfactor m whether or not last week was enjoyable. "Dld I meet new people?" My slmple answer for that 1s 'yes,' and I hope that's your smple answer too.

A11 Aoeigk FINDIN6 BALANCE I first met Lucien m the Student Life Centre. He came by to thc weekly meetmg of the Koran Reading Clrcle that a fnend and 1 ran every Tuesdaylast term. The circlc was set up as a venue for people to read and dlscuss inspmaonal quotes from the Koran as an mtroducaon to the teachmgs of Islam. There, juxtaposed aganst the faces of the regulw young attendees, was the small, wnnkled, soft face of a man who was easdy three tunes older than me. T o me then, his vlsage persomfied, as Imagine, the words Buddlusts use to describe the face of their great teacher: "he had the face of a gentle sage." He was qulet, but when he dld speak, his hushed words came out with a tluck yet plcasmgFrenchaccent As he read, the sound of h s voice gave new importance and m e m g to the poeuc verses ofthe Koran. I was

Lucien was no b e p n e r u l t h the I<own When we were reading a secuon about the events before the blrth of Jesus, I mcnnoncd that the Arablc name for Tohn the Bapast 1s Ydyawhch comes from the Arablc root word for "hfe." He responded by sapng, "Oh, you mean hke the words al-Hayy and al-Mulyz,whch mean 'The Lfe' and T h e Glver of L~fe,'whchare names of God." Clearly, t h s mystenous man knew sometlung of both thc language of Arab~cas well as the theology of Islam. The msdom bchmd the umverse doesn't arrange for us to meetlnterestmgpeople ltke Lucien for no reason. I wanted to know more about him, so the following week, I purposely arnved early for the readmg circle m the hopes that I mght get a chance to find out more about hun. And, just as I had hoped, there he was, simng m the Great Hall reading the newspaper. I sat beside hun and asked who he was. how he knew Arabic, and where he was from. And this is how I came to know Lucien. If you haven't met h m before, let me tell you a httle about him. Lucienls ltkely the oldest student in the Umversity of Waterloo. He 1s

Never stop learning to take courses out of pure inter est-cour5es Eemedlevalhstory and anuent phdosophy. Though he looks ltke a f r d old man, hs walks to school for h s classes. T o those of you who comphn about your fifteen minute walks from Columbia and Albert, you should know that Lucien walks all the way from his homc m St. Jacobs -it takes hun 45 minutes to get to campus. How does Luaen know Arabic? A couple years ago, a book he fourtd on the foreign language Interested hun and so he dccided to learn. So he packed lus bags and traveled to Yemen! There, he took courses on basic Arabic, which he later strengthened in lessons he took ln a senes of other tnps to Fez m Morocco. What an interesung man. As I sat with Luaen that day, I looked bnefly at lus gesturing hands as he spoke. The flesh on lus fingers was thm and heady wnnkled.

Get into wine making Imbint examines the history of an age-old process Natalie Carruthers SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

Wine. Vino. Le vin. The earliest evidence ofculdvatcdwinesdates backto 7000-5000BCintheRepublic of Georgia, east of the Black Sea. Hugh Johnson, author of Vintage: The Story of Wine suggests that winc probably developed in a vineyard belongmg to upper-class citizens, such as royalty or priests. Many legends tcll the storyofwine. In the Old Tcsrament, Noah is credited as the fxstwinemakcr. Gilgamesh, an ancient hero in a legend which Johnson refers to as the "Babylonian vcrsion" of Noah, is the hero of the Epic of Gilgamcsh. In the legend, Noah finds avineyard Juringhis quest for immortality. One of the most popular lcgends is the Persian story about a princess' attempt to commit suiade.Disuaught,the princess wishes to take hcr life by drinking an unknown poison. Rather than kikng herself, thc princess becomes drunk from grapes that had fermented. History shows that when humans migrated, so did thegrape. Variations of grapes today can be atuibutcd to ancient trade. For example, ancient Greeks and Romans are recorded to have tradedwine for precious metals and slaves. Fermentation is the process by which yeast converts sugar into alcohol, turning grape juice into wine. Wine makers control the process of fermentation by using specific strains of yeast to reach desiredresults. Certain natural acids and nutrients can also be controlled to achieve the desired flavor and body. The taste and

bouquet (smell)of awine depends on climate,weather,soiltype,varietal(type of grape) and the skills of the wine makcr. Mutation, a process that is hastened by exposure to new chmate, promotes variety in the strains of grapes avdable. Grapes grow in a variety of climatcs. Here in Canada, grapesgrowas farnorthasCapeBreton. Stuart VC'alton, author of The Wodd En~yclopedza$Wine, writes: "No two wines arc alike; some say no two bottles are alike." As a result of growing grapes in new climates, most people now are familiar with and enjoy a vanety of wincs such as chardonnay, sauvignonblanc, cabernet merlot and Wine's popularity grew during the early '90s when a nutritionist discovered that~ne-redwineinparticular -inmodcrationmay bcgood forus. Tannin, found in the skins of red grapes, may help to minimize fatderivedcholesterolwhichcan clogarteries.Tnishelps to explain theFrench paradox, in which France has onc of thclowcst rates ofheart attacks in the world in spite of a high fat diet. Now, more than evcr, consumers haw awide selectionofwines. White, red or blush, dry or sweet, young or vintage - wine drinkers can enjoy wines from around the world. The broad selection of wines avdable at the LCBOindicatewinc's popularity. Manypeople also opt to make their own wine, which can bc done easilyin the comfort of your basement or at a wine makqstore. While the start-up costs of brewing at home may seem steep, the cost savings will emerge if you make more than one batch of

Wine making is a very lengthy but satisfying procedure. wine. Cettinga few fnends togetherto makewine will decrease costs and provide more opportunity to try different batches ofwinc.

The wine making process Along with purchasing the wine kit (many wine stores carry over 50 kinds, including Merlot, Gewiirztraminer, Riesling and Zinfandcl), you will require equipment to allow wine to ferment, be transported (siphoned), stored and bottled. A p r i m q fermentor, alargebucket that holds 23 1 (most kits make 23 litres of wine, yiclding approximately 30-750 ml bottles) is needed to combine the nutrients, water and juice concentratc.After stimngrhe mixture with a plastic spoon, the yeast that comes with the kit is addcd and the primary fcrmentor is covered with a plasticsheet.Let the fermentanonprocess begn! After 10 days, the wine is transported, using a siphon hose, into a 23 1glass carboy, or large bottlc . An air lockis placedinthe neck of the carboy that prevents oxygen from entering the wine while allowing carbon &oxidc out. When storing, it is best to keep the wine in a cool, dark place to ensure optimal flavor and colour. Tendays later, thewineis siphoned againinto another carboy (or into the clean primary fermentor and re-siphoned into the original, but cleaned, carboy), at which point the wine's specific gravity is measured using a hydrometer.Measuring specificgravity allows the wine-maker to see the -

a wine bottle.

winc's density compared to water in order to test the wine's alcohol content. If the hydrometer reads 0.995or less, kiesol and other nutrients (depending on thewine, certainnutrients are also included in the kit) is mixed into the wine and must be stirred five or six times for the next 24 hours. If the wine reads more than 0.995, the wine must sit for another couple of daysunalitsspecificpvityreachesthe appropriate number. The next day, clarifieris added and mixed usinga hand drill attached to a whisk-like object, known as a fizz-X. The process of "faz-Xing"wine for four minutes encouragcs the release of carbon dioxide;unless the wine maker

., ,,,.-.- -. .. ...- . . .wants sparkling wine, clarifying and "fizz-Xing" are important steps to develop wine's smooth mouth feel. Once again, an airlockisplacedandthe winc sits for a week before filtering. Mostwine stores carry mini-filtering jets and most rent them for z nominal fee. Not all wine makers hlta their wine. Instead they siphon thc wine againand allow the wine to sit, sc that the solids settle to the bottom before bottling. Corkingcan be don< eithcr with a hand corker or flooj corker, although floor corkers areles! labour intensive. Some wine store! loan out floor corkers for free. See WINE, page I f

Video game mania ain't slowmg down Herarnb Rarnachandran SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

The wrist starts to swell. The eyes become watery. The ulcers wake up. Yet you starc at that screen oblivious of it all. Your withdrawal from the world for those few hours reaches psychiatricproportions. Welcome to the video game craze. Here's an anccdotc that I'm sure a fcwofyoucanrelate to. After arewarding day of classes, I make my way home. I walkin and notice a bunch of my roommate's buddies sprawledon couches focused intensely on the tclevision screen. It looks as though my roommate has theX-Box out. They've got some game in there called "Hcll World 7" or something. I'm not onc to pry, so1goupstairs only to find two of my other roommates engaged in a rather intense round of "Counter Strike." Each time a badguy is killed, one dude always jumps out of his scat andproclaims, "Ycah, who da man?" Ifyou thinkthat's excessive,check outany universityresidence. I parantce that, at any hour ofthe day, there's atleastsevenpeoplehogpgthelAN, probably playing "War Craft 3." Evcrsincc 'Tong" cameinto existencein the early '80s,videogames have become a bolder, wilder billion-dollar industry. It seems that more multinational corporations have entered the scenc, soliciting their product to the salivatingmasses.Heck, everyoneremembers "The Wizard," that 1990

film stamng Fred Savage from the 'Wonder Years." Ah, Fred Savage, a bundle of youthful charisma. Anyway, "The Wizard" was a two-hour propaganda machine sponsored by Nintendo to entice people to buy videogames.The frickd plot revolved around a SupcrMario Brothers 3 tournament, withvariouscharacters determined to win the whole thing. I'll admit that was a brilliant marketing scheme that cemented Nintendo's position as the video game ktng in 1990. It is thls kind of brazen tactic that sways unsuspecting youth into massivc linc-ups at the local gaming outlet. Just last month Nintcndo madetheworld'slargestbowl ofpasta to advertise Mario's newest adventure. And wc all know pcoplc low pasta, but I chgress. With the Internet revolution here for thelong haul, thegamingindustry as a whole has experienced phenomcnalgrowth.Accordmgto thcIntcractive Digtal Software Association (of whch videogame manufacturersSega, Nintendo and Sony are members) American video game sales alone increased from 105 d o n in 1996 to 225 d o n in 2001. Online gaming sites like the Internet Gaming Network (www.ign.com) and Gamespy (www.gamespy.com), where hints, cheats and cracks can aidin agamer's conquests,routinely attract thousands ofvisitors daily. AU these numbersrevealagrowing intcrestingameplay, but the quesaon

I've always wonderedis why?Why do people show such unyiellng devotion to a video game? This kind of devotion results in unfinished homework, uneaten meals and a general ignorance ofpersonal hygienc. Like all investigativejournalists before me, I immersed myself in their world -I posed as a video game junkie in the Cove with the hopes ofmeetinggaming enthusiasts and asking thcm thc ultimate question: why do you game? My first target seemedperfect. He hadareal determinedlook, as though he'd give his left kidney to win whatever he was playing.He wore an "Atari Forcvcr" r-shirt. I did say perfect. I asked him the elusive question and this was my subject's reply: "I dunno. Video games are cool. Some people like sports. Some people like to rcad. And I guess I like to game. It doesn't require much brainpower, but the adrenaline rush you get when you're just about to finish is sweet." And thcn hc began to swearuncontrollably because I was stepping on his foot. In the words of a gamer, it's the adrenaLine rush that makes it irresistible. Psychologists, psychiatrists and other medicalprofessionalsmay have their own insights into a gamer's mind, but I propose the following: video games provide an escape from reahty. They differ from movies or television as they allow an individual to controltheir outcomc. A playcr can fad or succeed dependingon the correctcombinationofjoystickmaneuvers

or keystrokes.This form ofcompetition requireslesscerebral and physical activity than other more traditional contests. So if you don't like athletics or you don't want to tax your brain too heavily, but yearn for some competition, video games may be the answer. And please forgivemy unscientific analysis. But for all the enjoyment peoplc

get from a vldeo game, certam fears bubble to the surface. For example, does constantgame play lead to poor academc performance? O r does a game's vlolent content lead to erratic behavmur? These quesaons are all worthwhde but very much a work in progress. AU that can be safely s;ud about the video game craze is that ~t ain't slowing down.

While the Warriors were maklng headlines dominatihg the Canahan basketballscene,Moser and Robinson were making headlines for their impressive contributions to the team. hfoser was setting records with an average of 27.9 points pcrgame. The Warnors seemed unbeatable; howcvcr, they had challenges of their own that they were about co.face. While in Florida in January on an exhibition tour, MikeMoser suddenly fell ill.

Within the &st quarter and about seven minutes into the second quarter h s mode of attack sccmed to be keeping the scoreboard clear. Thecoachesnote two key players from Saturday's game in defence, one being Paul Kowalik, a second-year player, and John Sullivan, a thirdyear player who gave ten tackles and took six assists. Itiswithin these players that the magic - of this gamc appcars. Both the coaches noted that 2002-2003 season has a team that 1s 50 per cent rookies. Accordmg to Triantafdou and Bingeman, McMaster sought out the rookies. They would particularly seek outrookicslikcdefcnsivc back Drew Haynes. "Haynes is a true freshman so they went after h m early but he had success," said Triantafilou."Thcn thcy turncd to [ ~ a m~lc n s o n Every time we would aaack or bring down an extra guy to blitz, they just took one step and threw the ball in the air, we would comc up and get a penalty."

Uingeman notes that, "This was what tookaway ourheartbeat. Itwas just youthandinexperience again. Hereis a freshmanwho, in this particular formation was supposed to block pass protectionon theoutside, andinstead he went right by it." It was difficult after this moment in the second quarter for the Warriors to gain their defensive andoffcnsivc lincs back. Itwas at this point that McMaster began to gun yards, and &

Under there~gnsofscreenwnter Ken Hixon, not much 15 left of the real LaMarca sagaexceptm most basic outline.The story follows NYPD detectivc l,aMarca,whose father was aconvicted murderer executed at Sing-Singprison whcnvincewas ahoy. Vince is investigadng the brutal stabbingdeath of a petty thief and drug dealer. All the evidencepoints to a junkie nicknamed "Joey Nova" who lives in the abandoned boardwalk carousel at rundown Long Beach, Long Island (LaMarca's hometown and the self-

prodauned"Cityby the Sea''). It turns out that Jocy Nova is actuallyJoseph LaMarca, Vince's estranged son from his prior marriage. With the NYPD and the Long Beach police nowgunning forJoey,Vince must take responsibility for his past actions while being torn between h s role as a father and h s role as apohce officer.

This 1s why Darryl Moore, mce president ofCMG Entertauunentand expenencedmuslcmanagerfor allover western Ontano, rejects the "lack of interest" theory. He does a h t , however, that the ltve scene is in "hnd of a lull right now. It's a cycle thngwith the bigger bands. They record an album and then they do shows, but then you have bggerplaceshket h e h Canada Center whch really get the bands.You've sort ofbeen overtaken by the largervenues and there's alack of those places to find hve music." . As for the financlalaspect, Moore conmues,'~eagentwantsx number of dollars and the arast gets theu

Perhaps most mportant of all is obtaming a level of publicity, elther through press or word-of-mouth, to let students know what's m town at a pamculartune.

Staymgawake can be a challenge too. Squeezing two industnal shows Into my first week of mornmg-shft factory worklcd to an unpromptu nap at a Front Line Assembly concert. I woke up just in tune for the encorc. And there are other problems, like hamng my mtarmns confiscatedby overzealous secunty guards. On top of that, I'm never sure foreign bands will make it across the border, or that theu bus won't break down. If I decide to go to a show, earplugs and platform boots keep out some of the noise and help me see a bit better, but I'd s d l rather avoid venues hke the Kool Haus aadthe Opera House. Lee's Palace, the Guvernment, and the Reverb/ Kathedral offer much better sound and view. Stadlum tours offer some of the best shows, but nose bleed seats and soaringticketprices can really spollthe effect. You mght thtnk I'd be &scouraged from gomg to any concerts at all,but that's not the case. In fact, I just went to see Nash the Slash performmg his own original scores to the silent films Nosferutu and Un Chzen A n d a h , and I thought it was great. Even though not every show can measure up to the bandaged man in the top hat, tux and sunglasses, I'm sure my next favounte band 1s out there somewhere. Besides, sometimes it's just about h a m g a good tune.
