Empty beds in res U\Yhousingdid not expect to ham roughly 100 empty residence beds this term, butthey do. This comes after upper year students were turned away from residence.Although the cause of the error is currently unclear, it seems that the large number of empty rooms resulted from students whose conditional offers were revoked and those who rcceivedlate offers fromotheruniversities. Housing is looking into the issue; in the mcantime, the rooms are available for students. liead more on cover and page 4 Canada's first plastic beer bottle On October 2, \Yaterloo's own Brick Brewery launched Canada's first plastic beer bottle.

tions, the university has yet to determine the main causes for the inordinate amount of empty residence beds this term. \\;'it11 regard to empty beds, Leanne O'lhnnell, director of residence life said, "I would say normally we hare, if you wailted to gil-e a ballpark, anywhere bet\\een 15 and 30 in a normal !-car for ir-shows. Some of those are first year sh~dents whv decide iwt to come, who may haregot alate offer somewhere else, upper yearswho, for some reason or another, don't show.

And so \Yaterloo's offer was rescinded or not valid because the conditions weren't met. So those people, frommyuildcrstanding,u7crc fed into the computer system earl!. mtth CT-cn-one elsc."\T'hcn askcdwhy those students were not removed from the housing computer system when L:\T rescinded the offers of admission, O'Donnell replied, "I'm not sure of the timiilg of that, but I h o w housing's timing on getting those people \\as very late in the summer." O'Doilncll's information couflicts with \Talker's, who statcd that normally, m the fall the "only empt! beds are n o shows," implying that vacancies aren't always filled. He stated that the housing budget accounts for this. Accordingto\Yhlker, "Housing overbooks residence to accommodate for n o shows.': Thc immbcr of upper Tear students refused residence is unclear. According to O'Donnell 800 and

1,000 students applied for residence "320 upper !ear beds" in Jmuary 2003. "\T.e didn't rcalixcuntil later in the summerwhat the froshnumbers were," she said, "They [housing] didn't adhere to the strict deadline which they told frosh." O'Donncll mas unable to confirm the ilumber of upper year studcilts or first year students in residence, citingit as a "Gail question." .l'he financial impact ofracancies in residence are multifold. Accorchng to Bud \Talker, Housing has experienced a loss vf "approximately $180,000," which accounts for "1 per cent of the housing budget," which, althoughunfax-ourable,he calls "man ageable " "\\ ith that [loss] you also have an issue with food services," said O'Donnell, "Hecausc they also depend o n those residence beds, especially in Village 1 and Ron hydt Village to be full.

Often student organizations encounter problems when student directors also hold officer positions like president and treasurer. This means that in addition to having a govern ance role, they also play an operational role Students, by their nature, have a higher priority for their work hours school While they have to be boss and supervisor to their employees they are often less experienced. This can cause conflict in the organization. It is difficult for the students because they have limited time and usually limited experience For employees it is difficult when your supevisor is not around, may change more often than every year, and doesn't have a strong basis to evaluate performance Thc outgoing board of Radio Waterloo Inc ,which runs CKMS, was criticized by a few volunteers for its relationship with staff Winsor Ryan was elected to the Waterloo Radio Inc board last week Before voting he said, "I am deeply concerned with the relations between the board and staff and if elected that would be my chief concern " At Impnnt Publications, tasks often fall to the editor-in-chief or other employees, who don't have sufficient authority to perform In the past, boards vary in the extent thej w ~ s hto be involved in minor decisions Because of the board's nature as volunteers, there has essentially not been an effective executive. Over the years editor-inchiefs, being in charge of editorial operations, have difficulty bearing the extra burden of organwational tasks This then hurts the product that the organizations produces: the newspaper

The solution to this general problem i s for boards to hire an employee to act as an evecutive or a manager, or for at least one elected officer to work full time The student governments at ' both UW and W1,U have shown they know the importance of having full time executive officers. Although the formal organization of Pederation of Students, incorporated in 1967 it existed as Students' Council since 1960 and as such is a very old group Early in its history, council decided to start paying the president a salary instead of having him work part-time as a volunteer The Feds have four paid and elected officers as the executive, who all sit on the board of directors with five elected volunteer councillors The Wilfrid Laurier Students' Union has three full time paid officers

CKMS has moved to overcome the challenges that volunteer officers face While they may not have done it in the best way -by proposing a 10 per cent pay cut for other employees the Watcrloo Radio Inc board moved to hire someone to implement changes for them They hired a full-time station manager It is difficult for a volunteer director to loin a board wanting to make a difference on the part-

CKMS: UW'S radio station turns 25 Radio Waterloo Inc. wdl have been on FM for a quarter century Christine Louriero SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

C I W will be celebrating it's 25th anniversaryinFM format at 9:00a.m. on October 15. student members of U\L1's campus radio station has recently electedanew boardof directors, and has some big changes plarincd for the coming years. The CI(MS board of directors is comprised of seven members, four of whtchmustbe students. Elections are held once a year, with all members of Radio \L'aterloo Inc., the corporation that runs CI(n/IS,are eligible to x-otethat means all L T undergrad students who support CI(MS through

ancillary fees,andan\-grad studentsor community members who pay a $10 yearlyineinbership fee (undergrad students get a bargain at $4.50). 'l'he board of directors meets oncc a month or more, and oversccs gencral operations of the station, mcluding developingC I M ' s new advertisingpolicy. As anot-for-profit communitystation, CICMS doesn't carry commercials. Any ads you hear are personal endorsements of the DJ.That might be changmgprcttys~on.Bill\Y%arrie, one of CI(MS's four employees,who

handles tech and administrative duties at the station, cites a few reasons for potentially changing the CKMS advertising policy. As CICMS has postcda financiallossforthe pasttwo fiscal years and tentatij ely projects a loss ofnearlg$1 0,000 forthe nest, thc estra income advertising provides mould be helpful. Broadcasting and production equipment at CKMS could always use upgrading, said \%'harrie. , 1he stationis also consideringpursuing community fundraising drires. Ninety-eight percent of CI(MS's income comes from student fees,and \r(%arrie says CI(MS,whose mandate is to serve both the community and UK', has no plans LOchange thts main

funding formula, as it enjoys a good relationship with U\Y' students who take an interest in the station. U\T' students, according to \Y?larrie, provide a good volunteer base. Eighty percent of CKMS's expenses are the salaries and benefits of it's four employees. A station manager is to be added to the list on No\-ember I, increasing their expenses significantly. Radio Waterloo has becn around since the mid-l96Os, andaccord~ngto \Y'harrie, their listeners, are "people with adventurous musical tastes", their target audience being "no one and

everyone." Why support CKMS and Radio \Vaterloo? Bill'X'harrie likens CICMS to services provided by government, but not necessarilyusedby all. His tax dollars,he said, are used tocreatc many programs he doesn't use, but he still believes them to be valuable to his community. Suchis the role he sees for CI(P\fS. \r('hat matters most to K%arrieis that students and the community at large ha7.e the choice to tune into ClfilS, just like they have the choice whether or not to pick up Tmprmt every week. He says thatCI<rvISdoesn'twant to be a station everyone can listen to at all times, but attempts to provide diver-

sigincontent toits students.Aglancc at the CI(MS programguide reaffirms this; they cover many genres, from spoken word, to cultural prograinming, tolive rockperformances. The CKMS website has a lot of intercstingdctails about the station's, including a history of Radio \YTaterloo's founding@mce Steele,ofCBC's "As it I Iappens" fame was once station manager). C I M plans to mark its 25thanniversarywitha special day ofprogramming. Consult the CICMS Web Site (watsen~l.uwaterloo.ca/ -ckmsinfo) for more details.

WLU student Next week: bounteous bicycles union is holding its own Neal Moogk-Soulis

IMPRINT STAFF

l h z Ia~t-1cr strike has entered mtoits :bird \beck and the student union is responding to the ongoing crisis in i n ~ the d ~ same way that it always has. ".it t h ~ point s we're listening to student's problems and trying to calm ;hem down," said Andy Pushalik, president of the \Glfrid Laurier U n Lessit! student union. The student union has taken a neutral stance and xcognizesthc. situation as a legal labour dispute between the univer,ity and its employees. The student &on has been in regular contact vith both sides of the dispute. Through talking to students and !reading their e-mails, he student lnion has received a clear message: 'I'eople are concernedabout the strike m d want it to end." Pushalik is -ealistic with regard t o the situation md ~vouldrather see an acceptable deed than one that is rushed and mpcrlciL.Tn aletter drafted to stulents Pus halik said, 'T'e continue to rsh both negotiat~ngteams to re,\-amine their contractual proposals ,nd wrxl-. to find a compromise that '~enefttsthe sh~dentsand the rest of ihe Laurier community." In the meantime, the student union has been doing its best to :neet the needs ofthe students. R%cn

students come to them with coilcerns, said Pushalik, the student un ions trics to point them in the right directioil. Students h a w had cluestions rangng from course selections, tuition payments and health concerns. ICristi Edwards, VP of unirersit! affairs for the studcntunion, posted alist of sen-ices affectedby the strike on the K e b site\iw.clublaurier.ca. The list puts a positire spill on the labour disruption and in most case5 students are warned to expect delays o n a variety of service ranging from atldetic sen-ices,registrar's sen-icesm d parking. In addition, the student union has been available to address student concerns. A ribbon campaign started at 1,aurier last mcck. The purple and gold ribbons are worn by students, faculty, staffand the administration, Pushalik said. The goal of the ribbons want, -.mind b ~ sides h ofthe strike of the students ~ h are o affected by the strike. In the end, there is no winner in a labour dispute according to Pushalik "In a strike, no one wins; the staff because the! are onthepicket line, thc administratton becauqe of the bad press; a i d the students becausc they get stuck in the middle." %

Piles of pedalled personaltransport devices are locked up outside of the math and computers building. Next week,lmprint takes a look at the problem of overcrowding and what has been done in the past to address the issue.

SPECULATIONS Stress 1 ' he crowds of smiling faces that descended upon campus in early Septemberare disappearing Those happy, relaxed students talking to their fricnds in the SLC are quickly becoming bookworms Camp5 con\ ersations have turned from parties and drinkmg to mtdterms, labs and assignments \Yhat you'll quicklv (if you're lucl~y)find out (if you're unlucky, like mc, vou won't figure it out until you graduate) ic that the key to wccess is balance Just as you can't partv all the time, you also can't study all the time So relax, look around, do what you enjoy Make sure you're euercising,partmpaWg in campus life and in your own life Don't get down now, midterms are just around the bend The price of education

The price 'deducation Thc release of a report by the CanadianMtllennium Scholarship foundation entitlcd the Price of Knowledge suggests that funding might not be a barrier to post secondary education \While I'm definitely in favour ofan accessible post-secondary system, it seems that many of us mlght be confusec! about this whole accessibilitything Gomg through co op allowed me not only to make enough monev for school and living eqenscs, but also to save enough to support myself through postgraduate work This mcanc that a lot of the taxTaper money that fundcd my education 1s now in my pocket Although T realizc this makes me lucky, I'm certatnlvnot the only student in this position

Unjustified urban planning

I suggest we all need to think about this differently.The summer before I went to high school, I was making $6.40 an hour working at the localgrocerystorej'Afterfour years of school, my classmates are likely making three times that. Obviously,some financialsacnftce should be made in order to justify this benefit. I suggest that perhaps accessibilitycould be maintainedby catering tuition to need, so that people like myself could help f b d an education for those less able to do so. Education is among the most important resources of society and we need to be creative about ways to fund it. Consistently cutting funding to educatton is clearly not a stable situatiyn. \We need to seriously think about new funding methods.

The state of housing The bederation of Students' resolution to stop negotiatmg the universal bus pass with the region until the lodgmg house restriction, which h i t s the number of students that can live in a p e n area, is removed has been met with harsh words from the city. In an interview withFeds vice-presidenteducation Ryan O'Connor Wednesday morning, Mayor Woolstencroft said See GRAB BAG, page 12

Mike Kerrigan COMMUNITYEDITORIAL

The response that City of Waterloo Mayor Lynne Woolstencroft has given to students' challenge of the 75 metre lodging house restnction has left me utterly flabbergasted and appalled I completely respect differencesof opinion and if there are legitimate rcasons to impose a restriction on the freedom of people to live where they choose, I may accept them However, in the past few weeks the justificauon of the restrictionhas been entirely based on specious arguments and utter contempt for students The position that the bederation of Student7 has taken is very clear 7he motton passed by council at its last meeting statcq explicitly that it "opposes unequi>ocally"the 75 metre lodgmg house restnction, which limits the supply of housing avalable for students and other renters Despite the mayor'\ assurancesthat there were "in excess of 100 [emptylbeds last term," the summer term, Students' Council believes that this restriction must be removed to provide enough quality, affordable housing near the wvcrsity for the growing student population In last week's Imprint, the mayor described us as being "self ab sorbed" for our opposition to the

that is statistically homogeneous throughout the city Rather than attemptmg to restructure the population of the city to match a blanket service plan, the city should allow communities to form among groups that wish to h e together, be they the elderly, students or suburbanites, and allocateservicesaccordingly Ifa large pocket of elderlypeople forms,thenambulance services should be expanded to that area In a student domnated neighbour hood, the bylaws that already exist to ensure housing quality should be more regularly enforced Further, by attempting to legislate socio-economc dix ersq, thc city has evacerbated some of the poor relations that exist between student? and other communiq member5 Students ha\ e ddferent lifestyles than homeowners Activities that would rarely upset an) one in a student area l a t e night conversations on the porch, couches on the lawn,pre Bomber gatherings on a \Iednesday night 4 a n be cutrcmely upsetting in an cstablished neighbourhood It is reasonable for a community member to be upsct at the disrup tion, but it is also understandable that students accustomed to living a particular lifestyle would get See BYLAW, page 12

Few things that the Federa tion of Students does can have as direct and lastingapositwe impact on students as a successful campaign to remove the restnction would Gwen that fact, we are working hard to put pressure on the city in a variety ofways and through such bodies as the Feds' Go~ernmentAffam Commission One of the fa\ rationales provided by the mayor for the restriction,besides that keeping students ~eparatcd"controlc agressweness," is onc predicated upon certain social theorists'bclicfs that, in ordcr to form a sense of commumtj, we need to have of people of all ages, income levels, occupations and lifestylesmtxmg together Further eutending that argument to its lullits, Mayor W'oolstencroft stated in defence of city planning policies that "if you have a neighbourhood full of old people, then you have too many ambulance calls [to that area] " It is alarmmg that the goal of the city's planning policies is to produce a perfectly heterogeneouspopulation

In\ frtend dnd ne\vl\~-ap , pointed columnist Chris Edey weighed in with a condensed list of America's Wddle Eastern missteps It's qulte the rap sheet (FIe even notes that America screwed up by not knocking off Saddam last time -so of course it shouldn't try to correct that mistake n o d ) Anyway, just one question for Chns what's the connection to September 11> Sure, lots of people hate America, but only a sliver of them turn into mass murderers. Many others Edey for example -can offer criticism and stimulate debate without resorting to terrorism, so why apologize for extremtsts who channel their anger - into murder? Here's a funny quote from last week, courtesgofEdey "America, responsible for the terrorist attacks?No Responsible for the rismg tide of anti-American sentunent around the globe?Yes " Clearly, Chris is not in math He takes great pains to demonstrate that A (America) causes B (anti-Americanism) which, he implies, causes C (terronsm) Yet he insists that A doesn't cause C Huh? T h ~ is s exactly what I wrote about two weeks ago -ascribing blame, without actually saying so If you thmk September 11 is a consequenceofAmerica's actions,it means America is to blame So lust say a1 Alternatively, if you do not thmk so and wish to assess ~menca'kforeignpolicy, whateverits successes and failures, it should not be cited as an excuse for terrorism, nor discussed in the September 11context That has been my point from the Legm ning I am not gomg to apolope for American foreignpolicy mstakes I amgomg to msist that whatever as faults, America did not m any way, shape or form deserve to be attacked Period.

It's that tune again -time for one of those respond-to-your cntics columns This time the topic is September 11- and at least I seem to be dealqg with people who aren't venturing to "blame" America Hold on I'm not so sure In a letter last week, Nadeen Kamal was careful to assure us all that terrorism mn't "justified," but promptly stated that "injustice \will inevitably result innegative feedback "Negative feedback> A letter to the editor -that's "negative feedback " Apparently,mass murder is just further down the continuum of "negative feedback " It's all just proportionate to the initial offence,of course Allow me an analogy A scantily-clad woman heads out to the bar She struts around, flaunting the goods Libidos rise That ntght, walking home, she is raped by one of the men she teased earlier on Now, using the America-is to-blame orthodoxy, we get the following she didn't deserr~eto get raped, but she is, ultimatclp,responstbh for it Sure, dressing up like a whore is viewed by many people as tastele\s And it may mdeed 'provoke' certain behaviour in men But regardless, it never, etsrmeans that rape is lustified No one would dare suggest it And it also doesn't mean womcn should be restricted to only wearing certain dungs smply because of the provocativeeffect risquC clothes have Just because they get all hot and bothered doesn't releve men of the responsi bdlty to control themselves This is an exact parallel to the argument that American foreignpolicy is the root cause of terrorism No doubt, America has had

Gaydar: the homo-homing device

UNDEFEATED Aside from "How long have you known?" I w d d say that the question people most often ask when they find out that I am gay is "How do gay people meet," It is a question that I think boggles the minds of all heterosexuals,includmgmy parents for that &atter In the countless times that I have been asked this question, I have never responded with an adequate answer This week's article then is for all of you who have ever questtoned, wondered, inquired and pondered the way in which men and women meet and attract others of the same sex, the way m which a gay man or a lesbian mght go about attractmg another whom he suspects to be gay m a w e d setting, without getting a slap m the face! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this week's article is about gaydar A few years back, I was perusing the asles of Future Shop loolung for a portable CD

player with a friend of mine Everyone knows that Future Shop is notorious for a staff that latches onto potential customers m hopes of making a good commission, so when a young male employee approached me, I was fully to be harassed into a sale. Strangely -prepared enough though, thls particular employee was more personable (and touchable) than I had been accustomed to and so it did not take very long for me to realize that I was In fact being picked up. I ended up leaving - the store with a phone number instead of a CD player The employee had used his 'gay locatingdevice' to track me down He cunningly observed my clothmg, my hair, my shoes and my mannerisms all m an effort to stereotypicallydetermine my sexualorient& tton He then communicated m a very subtle way his interest m dating me, slowly testing the waters to first determine ifhe was correct m his assumption and then to judge if the feeling was mutual In return, I used my own gaydar to determme if he was gay himself And it had worked I left the store with a date for that same evemng V'hile effective,the problemwithgaydar is that it is based purely on homosexual stereotypes This means that in order for gaydar to be successfu1,gay people need to adopt stereotypicalbehaviours and habits to make locatingand being located easier. I have heard countless stones of young men and

women that have come out of the closet, only to quickly adopt the typical "look" and "hfestyle" of a homosexualperson The abmpt nature of these changes seems to alienate frieods who are unable to understand why "Joe" now goes by "Joey" and wears far more Banana Republic than ever before. What they don't realize is that 'yoey" has changed his habits for a reason Subconsciously, "Joey" knows that by dressing and actmg this way he will easily attract the attention of other

homosexual men He will stand out in a largelyheterosexualcrowd In essence,gaydarisa crucialandnecessary part of living as a gay person. It makes random run ins and pick-ups possible for even the queer community and lessens the mportance of gay bars and o&e chat rooms And that, my readers, is how gay people 1 meet. Thank you (insert curtsey).

Previously it seemed to me that this issue was but a misunderstanding on the part of the city This no longer seems to be the casc. The whole issue has brought up all lunds of ugliness in our elected representatives. I'mnot sure what unfortunate experiencehas caused the mayor to feel this way about students. Whatever the casc may be, it seems that dealing with this housing resolution will involve convincing the mayor that,students haw rights, too.

The hidden paradise of Borneo Island Dan Reiter SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

Many students consider teaching as one of their career options and a number ofthemlook fonvard to teaching overseas Inkeepingclose rehtionshpswith its alumni,the University of\Vaterloo can offer English co-op students the opportunity to teach at Inti College Sarawak in Kuchmg, located in the state of Sarawak in Malaysia on Borneo Island. The managmg director at Inti College, \V&am Tan, is a 1982 UW math graduate. Through UW's contact with Inti's human resources department,itwas decided that every four months, one or two UW English majors wouldmake the trip toMalaysia to teach as part of Inti's English improvement program. The gumea pigcandidates forthe fall termof2002 are Shaun Smithand myself, both 3A WK' majors. Travellingto a new place and startinganewco-op jobis always exciting, but having the opportmity to go to another countryto startanewjobmay be a once in a lifetime experience. hlalaysia is rich with culture and traditionandmuchlike Canada, it has great culturalcLversity.Apart from the odd tourist, there aremany non-Malay people who reside in Sarawak yearround. They hail from all parts of Borneo Island, Southern Asia, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Borneo Island is located just north of the equator, making Malaysia's cltmate much different from that of

Students pose in the communal shower. Canada. Adapting to clmate change can be a problem for some people. Smith said, "I was expecting the weather to be very hot all the time and that I would be there during the rainy season, so I was expecting some stormy weather, too. \Tlen I arrived I found that there was a haze inthe sky

Children wonder why a foreigner is taking their photo.

which was affecting my breathing a little bit and that the thunderstorms sounded like explosions." The haze is a result of intentionally set forest fires m Indonesia, which arc seen as the cheapest way to clear the land for agriculture, but the haze only lasts from August to October. Smith has also had a lot of time to meet many of the locals and has been thoroughly cxq-~osedto the Malaysian culture. 'The locals are very nice and very friendly, but it can be alittleunsettling to have them stare at you all the time." Few European and North American tourists pass through ICuching,as the majorityof them travel to I<ualaLumpur,which is Malaysia's cavital citvand home of the Petronas Twin Towers and many other tourist attractions. Outside of the tourist areas, life in Malaysia 1s different from that in Canada. The manv tribes of Malamia are very prominent and their tradi tions hare not been lost to globalization. Many tribal people live outstde ofmam populated areas in Kampungs (villages) with their tribes. Some of the tribes that reside in Sara~vak,Malaycia are the Iban, Orang Ulu, and Bidajuh. The Iban tribe 1s the most famous ofthe tribes. Tts members are known as the legendary headhunting warriors of Borneo. They have now abandoned their headhunting ways and are known for their benevolence. The Orang Ulu, or literally translated "upriver people," are the largest of Sarawak'stribcs. OrangUluisaphrase used to group together many local tribes. They number about 100,000 andare responsible for 5.5percentof

Sarawak's population. Originally, Orang Ulu was a name given to the Kayanand Kenyah tribes and smaller neighbouringtribes whlch include the Kajang, I<cjaman, Punan, Ukit and I'enan. It also now includes many groups that retain a s~milarculture. The Bidawhorlgmated from thewest of Indonesia and have the biggest population in the hills of Bau and Sertan. They also have a headhunting past but are mostly known for being averygentle and peace-lovingpeople. Surrounding lcuching are several national parks and cultural areas untouched by\Testern civilization, a refreshing change from the barrage of computerized information that can be found in the city. The countryside is mostly dense rain forest, sparsely separatedby rivers andaccentuated by beautiful isolatedwaterfalls. Deadly predators such as poisonous snakes, spiders and jungle cats keep their distance from populated areas, but can be found in the surroundii~gilationalparksand rain forest. "I haven't seenanygiant spidersor huge snakes yet, just little ones. 'l'he mountains and the rain forest arc unl~keanything I've ever seen. 'l'he colour and beauty of the rain forest is incredible," Smith said. \Wile thcrc are many guided tours and tourist arcas tovisit, Smith believesthat,"goingplaces that most tourists wouldn't go might be a little more dangerous, but we get a chance to see things that tourists wouldn't get to see." It is important to do pour homework bcfore leavingfor the wilderness on your own. Malaysia is the land of the head-

hunters and although the tradttion of beheading haw faded away, mod ernday terrorists have takenoverwhehen the headhunters left off. America tourists have beenvictims of a terror 1st group known as "Abu Sajyaf." Smith is also very focused on hi co-op job as alecturer. "Thegreates challcngc T'XT found so far is figwin! outwhat to do for the classes.I wasn' really told what to do or anythinp Another challenge I find is trying tc figure out the relationship I shoulc haw with my students. I mean, mos of them arc my age, some are eve1 older, and I'd like to be friends w~tl them" Smith's solutions to thesj problems came rather quickly.Remem bermg how he was taught and draw ing from techniqueshis teachers hav used, he has managed to develop hi own unique teaching style. As far a relationshipsgo, Smithis friendswitl many of his students and has main tained respect in the classroom "In the classroom the students ar~ there to learnand they know that I an there to teach. After classwecango tl the beach or hang out." Communicattng was also a con cern of Smith's, but although Bahas Malaysiais the country's natlonallan page, all of the classes at Intt arl taught in English and Englishis\videl spoken throughout the country. Smith said, "this trip to Malapsi, has definitely been something that will remember for the rest of my lift Not only have I gotten good worl experience, but I've had a chance t( experience a new culture and mak, friends with people from around th, world."

Q. I've dated a Canadianwoman for over a year now. I really like her and we've talked about getting married.My familywants me to marry someone who speaks our language and knows our culture. She's trying to leam Mandarin, but is far from fluent. Should I keep my family happy or follow my heart? Tom A.

A. Avaluable exercise for anyone is to define his or her "deal breakers." These are traits that make a longterm relationship with a person impossible. Bad habits, infidelity, political leaning,hygiene orprofession could all be reasonable deal breakers (for myself, 1absolutely refuse to date super-models).

Q. I'm in health science and will be going on to med school to be a doctor. I love the idea of being a doctor, of helping people, and ok, sure, I'd like the money and prestige too. I'm definitely not dumb, but I really don't enjoy any ofmy courses and because of this I'm doing quite poorly. I paint as a hobby and considered taking fine art at another university, but being a "starvingartist)' has no interest for me. Should I keep working through my program and try to somehow bring up my marks? Pre-MedJitters

A. The glib response would be to just follow your dreams, do the art and forget about the cash. I won't give you that, because your desire to find work after graduating is a fair one. I would like to challenge some of your assumptions however. There are many ways to make money and have prestige in our

society and beinga m e d d doctor w one of the harder paths in my opinion. Even after you're practising you get woken in the middle of the night and called in on holidays when your patients have attempted suicide. According to the MDs I've spoken with, they have a pretty poor quality oflife. Artistic careers that can keep you fed are out there. Graphic artists are flourishingand the barner to entry is a modest computer and some pirated software.Alternativelyyou could look at other things you don't mind doing and keep painting as a hobby.

Most people ha\-e the ability to make a connection between a form and a colour (e.g.: 7-isualiae a green number eight). "The difference with spesthesiais that connectmnis onall the time." The word syncsthcsia means pined sensation and it shares a root with anesthesia,whichmeans no sensation. The word synesthesia comes from hvo Greek words: syn, which means together and aesthesis, which means toperceive. Although the condition is relatnely unknown to most people, it has been rccognizcd for ccilturics. The first case of synesthesia was documented by John Locke m 1690 m his essay "Concerning Human Understanding." Benvecn 1860and l!W, the study of synesthesiawas estremelypopular and many artists considered it to be a "gift." S~ticsthctcscancspcrieilceavmety of ox-erlap in the senses; st~undand sight can be tied to colour, taste can be tied to sensation. Although the combinations are endless, the most common type ofsynesthesia involves the association of colourmith letters and digits."In 70percentofall synesthetes, either showing them letters or digits in blackwill elicit some ty-peof experience ofcolour," says Mike Dimn. For these t p e s ofsynesthetes,plain black text will appear multicoloured. For example, a typical synesthete might see all number sevens as being yellow, regardless ofwhat colour they actually are. When shown a black number seven, these people bcgin to interpret it as a sevenandsee a yellowcoloured overlay on the digit even though they know the number is in black \\'hen synesthetesthat haw an al-

phanumeric condition are shown letter or digit that is the mrongcolou it makes them feel uncomfortabl The type of reaction varies by ind d u a l : somemay just feel only slight uncomfortable, but some may fe upset to the point of being sick. "Our research has shown th spnesthesiacolours [synesthetes'] ei tire experience. Not just perceptio (how thcy see the world) but also ho they remember the world. So tl memory of digits, for sow synesthetes,can be e~~raordinary," sa; Dr. Dixon. However, mcmoq-is on increased for the things they are sy thetic for (letters,numbers,etc.). The superior memory ( synesthetes can be illustrated t Ili~oii'.~ account ofanm-class exerci, by apsych101professor. lVhile tryir to illustrate the limits of short-teri human memory, the professor did a exercise with his class. 1Ie read fol sets of nine digit numbers aloud.

And yet as a true music and hiphop Fan, T still find myself mourning the loss of days when hip-hop artist sought to tell agood story ratherthan teach a bad Icsson, and I wondcr, is there hope for return of these days? Enter I<-OS's Exit- sounds like bad stage direction, looks more like a new kmd of hip-hop prophet. TCOS representsareturn for hip-hopand yet he's also completely brand new, and thankfully,brand-less. InEsit, I<-OS puts down hip-hops hopeless clichCs and pick sup, surprisingly,anacoustic guitar. But K O S is notwithout some fix for his pop-add~cted fans, because unlike his boring yet socially wellintentioned hip-hop counterparts, I<-

It looks like I<-OSlearned a somewhat backward approach to stardom, and thus Exit, his belated cntrance into themusic scene,mayalsomarLhis exit, so to speak. \Tho knows if the nunours are true?

In a cultureless world The De.@nated Mourner, a play for people who hate plays The Designated Mourner Wallace Shawn RegistryTheatre October4-5

Lauren Staines SPECIALTO IMPRINT

First staged in London, England, in 1996,\T7allaceShawn's play TheDeJisnated Mozmer has garnered rave reviews from critics taken aback by its unique style. It features three characters and no set, props, or costumes. The actors simply sit and tell their stories. Set in anunnamedcountrysometime in the future, this play tells the story of a cultureless world that has been taken over by a violent gorernment bent on destroying intelligent andcreative thought. The three characters are linked by marriage, famtly,

love and their desire to break free of their dull society. Now for onlythe second time inits history, The Desiy/lated:\/lonrnet.isbeing staged. This time it is at the RegistryTheatre. Imprinfspokc todirector Tom Leslie (a UW graduate who earned his BA in drama) about The De~&nated Mourner3 journey to I<-LV and why this play appeals to those outside the mainstream. "X7egot a good response to our presentation when we did it in St. Jacobs in the springand the comment that we most frequentlyheard was, 'I wish you'd presented it in town because I hadnoway ofgettingoutthere to St.Jacobs," said Leslie in an interview. "So after somc consideration, we decided to remount it here because we thought there'd be a fair amount of response to it." Unfortunately, ad-

who wrote the play, behex-es that standard theatre audiences are not at all interestedingoing to see his work because it really challengesaudience members to think. Leslie goes on to say that "if you hate theatre and you hate going to theatre, you should go to see t h s play if you're into alterna~ tive music, you'd be into The Ilesignated Mowmr. If you're completely dissatisfied with the sort of thing that's bemgofferedas artm the medla and just generally then [TheDesgnafed Mourne!j is worth taking a look at " The Ucllpatcd Mourner begins on Friday October 4 Its fmal show m SaturdayOctober 5at 8 OOp m at the Registry I heatre (122bredenckStreet) on the cornerofFredenckandWeber Tickets are being sold at the door General admiswm is $12 and $10 for students

vancc t~cketsales have not takenoffas Leslie has hoped, but he remains opthistic. 'We get a strong sense that there is avery growinginterest in this show and a lot of people are delightcd that we're bringing it hcrc, so we're thiilking that tlus is going to translate into sales at the door." Due to the play's nature (monologueswithout action),there has been some concern over whether or not people m I<-W would want to see a play that is just talking. Ilowever, Leslie explains that The Designated Mourner has a strong appeal to those outside the.traditiona1 theatre community. "I would say that if your experiences with theatre in the past have been that you're bored or you feel what's being talkedabout has no relahon to your ownhfe, thlsis the play to see.

A jazzy garage band Something Corporate Leaving Through the Window MCA Records

I usually hate trying to put music mt, d e f i t w e categories because there ar just somanygroups out there makm wonderfulmusic that doesn't really f entirely into one category. Somehh Corporate is one such group. Their music has been cat ego rise^ as punk emo, and even pop - ju: to show somc examples. Of coursc listening tomusic is very subjectivems that trying to describe it becomes daunting task. .TomethingChiporate consists of fiv guys with guitars, bass, a drum set, piano, occasional stringsandkeyboarc \\;'hen put together the way they arc the result is phenomenally satisfyins kind of like a jazzed up garage banc Leaving Through the IYindow 1 their third album, with 11 tracks, r which six are featured in previous a bums. Most of the songs reminde me ofhtgh schoolwoes.Themes suc as unrequited love, angst,the proces of maturing, drunken hazes and el perimentatioil are. represented. Th reminicense is probably due to th lead singer, Andrew McMahon's tr teresting voice. It brings to mind heartbroken tcenagcrwho justwant to have fun and be loved. Anothc reason might be the addictive chc ruses. 'l'hey are catchy and easy t remember, just like those songs w used to sing along to in the good ol days But no, I don't do them justic~ they arc neither sappy orpoppy.

Canadian bands create sounds unlike anvthing else Jomomma 8 Nero Bombshelter Pub, September27

Mark Stratford SPECIALTO IMPRINT

Imagine a show featurmg not one, but two bands that sound unlike anythmg else in the Canadian music market Fans wcrc treated to just that last Friday when Jomomma and Nero played at the Bomber in what was orgmally to be a five-hour, non stop set "Thatwas the plan at first but it's not gonna work out," Jomomma basnst Nick Gefucia explained over cigarettes on the ram drenched Bomber paao "They're gonna spht it up into two spots" To which Nero guitarist Dave I ,au7on added,"We have done that seamless set

guitarist John Kent and drummer Johnner Goldsmith, know a little something about reinvention. 'We've gone throughalot ofline-up changes," said Gefucia. "The old Jomomma hadalot of diversityof musicalinterest.Now it's the four people with the strongest opinions of how it should sound." And, in case it's not obvious, the two bands are very good friends. Not only do they count this as their fourth or fifth time sharing a stage, but as they gave me background information on their respective groups, both Lauzonand Gefucia threw m what is perhaps the most profound statement in all ofrockmusic: "Theykickass." TheBomberw-as damnnear packed for these two bands, bothof whom arc well known for spontaneouslyadaptingtheirlive sets for their audence. "Half o f i t s laziness," Gefucia said, mostly serious. 'Tie don't like set lists. Thmgs aren'twrittenin stone when we goout there.We have a vey wide range of songs that can fit different types ofaudiences. It kccpsitinteresting."Naturafly,Lauzonagrees. 'You can go see the same band two nights in a row andthep canplay the same songs,butit's not necessarily going to be the same." \\'hen asked if that kind of improvisation translates to the studio, I>auzonwas doubtful. "FTaving a 30minute song on your album may not be the smartest idea, but when you're in a h e situation and something goes on for 30 minutes, that's okay." Now-that sounds like apromisingshow. And sure enough, the Bomber's many patrons that night were not let down. Nero took the stage first, geared up for a monstrous and almost totally continuous set. With no vocals and few breaks between songs,
