University quarantines returning co-ops, will not credit work terms in risk areas Mike Kerrigan IMPRINT STAFF '

In response to rising concerns about SARS in Canada, the university has taken a number of steps to try to insulate students at U\'17 from the potential threat that SAKS poses. Health services has been sending out a number of advisories to make faculty, staff and students aware of the symptoms and now has a nurse e~amingallstudents before they enter the Health Services building to ensure they have n o signs of SARS Although no cases of SARS have been observed at UKT, the large number of students travelling back and forth from Toronto increases the chances of an outbreakoccurring here A large concern is the students who are returning to campus from work terms in affected areas In a move to preempt any outbreak, stu-

dents who are deemed to be in a risk group will not be able to move into their on-campus accommodations immediately. A secpon of the Columbia Lake Townhouses has been set aside as a quarantine area where students with potential SARS exposure will live for ten days and be observed for symptoms. During this time the students will still be able to attend their regular classes. The most controversial reaction to the SARS threatgame fromCECS. O n April 15,2003, co-op students were informed via einail that they would not receive work term credit for positions accepted in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan or Viet Nam. Students who had accepted jobs in Asia were informed in late March that thep could withdraw from their work terms without penalty, an option four students chose. This left approximately 17 students with two weeks to find alternative

employment in another area. One student, Michelle Huang, wrote a scathing email to the co-op department that was copied to the Imprint office. In it she charges that CECS' decision was culturally insensitive by not recognizing that most students going on co-op work terms in Asia are working there so they can spend the summer with their families. She states that those students' only opportunity to spend time at home is during their work terms, and that they are willing to take the calculated risk to d o so. She also

questions why foreign countries are blacklisted, while Toronto co-op placements are allowed to go ahead despite Toronto being ~ l e w e das a SARS hot spot. According to Olaf Naese, the communications &public relations administrator for CECS, Toronto was not one of the areas where the co-op terms were cancelled because SARS is not "in the community" there while it is in the other areas. This seems to be a slightly more nuanced approach than is being applied elsewhere: in Vietnam only the

city of Hanoi has a travel advisor) yet n o co-op term credits will bc given for students working an) where in the country Some students chose to continut with their placement despite the fact that CECS cancelled the credit for it K'hen asked if this could leopardiz~ a student's ability to graduate, Naesi replied, "If a student has alread~ accepted employment in one of thL above affected areas, the universitl will take that into consideratior should a loss of credit leopardin their graduation Thts will be donc on a case by case basis " Students who have decided tha they will fulfillthe comrnitmentmadt to an employer inan afflictedcountrl will thus have to wait until thep gtl back from their work term to learn I * the university's response to the SARC outbreak has prevented them fron receiwngtheir degrees mkerrigan@~mpr~nt.uwaterloo c-

Me and mv megaphone

BIG EARS BURNING This rocks This totally rocks, having a column. I first began volunteering for Imprint just under a year ago and I'll tell pa, I've had my sights set on a column from day one And now here I am, taking issues that occur on campus and/or affect us as students and applying them to a unnrersal perspective. Okay, so it doesn't sound like much on paper, but I assure you it will be interesting in practice. (And I've got big-ass ears, if you're curious about the title.) I should hope I can be interesting. I mean, each week thousands of students open Imprint's editorial pages. Each person reacts to the same piece of writing in an exclusive way (outrage? apathy? bowel movement?). And, if the letters in our feedback section are any indication, it's definitely the columnists whom readers have the most words to share with. So why do I want this column so much? For her swan song column last March, former editor-in-chiefMagda "Speculations" Konieczna tried to answer that question exactly, pondering the purpose of columns and employing a term I had not yet heard a n y w h e r e the "500-word megaphone." Essentially, she compared those who go through the ritual of making their foremost thoughts, suggestions and convictions public among their peers to the image of some gomer in fuzzy slippers and a hat he made out of the Sunday comics bellowing about how the world should be to a bunch of better-adjusted onlookers. I was shocked. Her statements were insulting and unrealized, not to mention a little contradictory since she rode the soapbox subway once a week herself. T o give her credit, writing her column wasn't a

Street racing nightmare

favourite part of her job. Still, Magda's potentially bittersweet departure ended with several Imprint staffers pissed, particularly since Magda's piece also gave the impression that our columns are awarded at random to those with the biggest mouths, which poorly reflects our paper. - Now that the megaphone is mine, I feel a need to defend it. \X'hrle I won't speak on behalf of the other columnists, I personally view my column as a belief I hold, stretched out and mulled over until it's appropriate, both in size and content, to go in my studcnt newspaper. It's no more than that. I don't think speaking one's piece is "self-indulgent", nor do I think you must defend your point to the death just to be interesting, both suggestions of Magda's. Hey, we get letters, so somebody's interested. And while I think the megaphone metaphor is apt, I also think it is incomplete. Yeah, it's a megaphone, and yeah, I could bitch and moan and generally prove my ignorance by denouncing everyone else's if that was all I gave a shit about. But it's not. I want to identi@ with people, I want to enrage, I want to provoke an hourlong discussion -hell, I'd settle for a five second afterthought. I don't el-en care about sayinganything new or revolutionaq -like Tori Amos sings, "what's so amazing about really deep thoughts?" Saying it differently is good enough for me. One more thing: I resent that it's only a 500-12,ordmegaphone.You incan I'm supposed to expel bile on a different subject every issue with only 500 words to do it? Piss off.

In the March 28 edition of Imprint the community editorial was attributed to Rob Schmidt. It should have been credited to Ali Ahmed.

It's rhe rush; the adrenaline rush that takes orer when one gets behind the wheel of a powerful car and accelerates into a hlgh-speed fantasy of danger. It is intoxicating in its powerful combination of testosterone-induced achievement. It is power over another fed by a seemingly insatiable competitive drive, an impromptu attraction for those seeking thrills on public streets. Tt is death. This last fact became evident in vivid fashion last week and continues to play out with tragic consequences. A UX7student lost his life, and all indications currently suggest that his racing partner, unable to deal with the aftermath of the tragedy, regrettably was found dead days later behind the wheel of his parked car. The incident has devastated families, horrifscally injured others, scarred scores of friends, and cost society collective traumawhile leaving lingering safety concerns and a huge bill. It is so sad to think that these young men were once beautiful babies in their mothers' arms. It has to stop. \X7aterlooRegionalPolice Staff Sergeant Brent Thomlison said it best: "He had his whole life ahead of him and one moment of poor judgement set in motion a series of events that has devastated countless communities." Many will miss Anis Mirzaagha. And no doubt many will miss his race partner. These men died because of the catastrophic consequences of a dangerous social phenomenon. There is an almost tacit like acceptance among some that value this kind of expression

Shades of gray

UNDEFEATED Undoubtedly, sexualit) can be a rather confusing topic Since xx e 111 e in a society that prefers to sharply distinguish between "yes" and "no7', black and n hite, or stop and go, we often forget that there is also often a vast gray area. In this way, sexuality is no different. Picture sexualityas metric ruler stick on which pure heterosexuality is signified on the lcm indicator, and pure homosexuality is represented by the 30cm indicator. Anywhere in between (Zcm, 18cm, 27cm, ect.)would therefore represent all of the other degrees of sezwalorientation. Arguably then, anyone who does not feel that they are 100 per cent hetero- or homosexual could call themselves a "bisexual", meaning that they are attracted to both men and women, or are "sexually ambiguous". Depending on whom you are speaking to, bisexuality can be defined in a variety of ways. I know people who identify themsel\~esas full-blown bisexuals, and always have. I also know people who once identified themsell-es as bisexuals, but now feel that they are either gap or a lesbian. For these people, bise-walitywas merely a step in the "outing" process, as there mas a time when thep were not quite comfortable enough with their homose~ualityAt this time m their life, thej felt that they n ere doing both themsell-es and everyone else a fax-our by sitting on both "sides of

the fence". There are also those people who regard themselres as "bi-curious". Vsually witha definite preference for either the same or opposite sex, bicurious folks are open to the possibility that they could be sexually satisfied by either men or women. Additionally, "questioning" folks are those who are still unsure as to where they might situate themselms on the "~e~wality ruler stick". Upon being introduced to someone who is a bisexual, sometimes people will make incorrect assumptions about them. They map assume that the bisexual is merely tying to be "trendy" or "fashionable" or "modern" by claiming their sexual ambiguity in the way that they may also assume that people chose to become vegetarians. Additionally, they may assume that the bisexual is just confused, or is afraid to make up their mind. Such wrongful assumptions have often made social integration difficult for bisexual individuals, as they may not be taken as seriously as a true heteroor homosezwal would. Simply put, bisexuality is just another colour on the flag of sexual diversity. Slowly progressingas society is, we are lucktly living in an age in which people of all sexual oricrttations are being accepted utquestionably. Surely, it is a terrible travesty that sometimes bisexuals do not receive the amount of respect that thep desen-e, as they are no different than anyone else. Let us all work towards a community of understanding and acceptance for all of sexuality's shades of gay.

While vou were gone

OUR HOUSE And so, another term is undenvay at UK7.Many of 1-oumight be returning from co-op terms, while others some valuable time off. But whatever you did last term, if it mas off campus, chances are that you have no clue as to what happened at UX'last term (yes, we do live under a rock when we're off campus, at least when it comes to campus news). A lot of headlines circled around campus last term, some of whichare certainly important and could directlyaffect your future at

u\x

But in reality, there was only one story that any hot-blooded student really seemed to care about this term, and that was the closing of the Bomber and Fed Hall in late January. The facts are simple: UK' administration holds the liquor licences to both the Bomber and Fed Hall, while Feds manage the bars. Administration felt that the bars were "unsafe" for students to frequent, and points the at a few incidents, most notably a beating that occurred outside Fed Hall on New Year's Eve (that involved some non-UW students), and Fed Hall's troubles with finding a steady manager. Feds claims administration is breaching a contract that states Feds are allowed to use these licensees, feels severe damage has been done and is suing administration for $11 million. Howerer a hearing on April 28 in

Toronto moved the issue into a mediation process and both sides h a ~ been e instructed to attempt a negotiated settlement. 1,et me tell you, when news broke out that our bars were closing, there was turmoil students mere cn-ing around Ring Road, people were putting up banners and posters around the SLC and wearing pins that said "Staj- out of our bars." It seemed like the student-side of UKstopped everything and mourned for one day. The rallies thatwere staged attracted an incredible crowd of students to support this battle against administration, even more so than the celebration of U W s 1lth year in a row as first place in reputation rankings in Maclean's magazine (and that party even had free cake!) This might have been an unplanned side effect of this whole mess, but me students at UW really

seemed lively through this whole thing. Since I set foot on campus three years ago I have never seen such uproar of responding voices from our student collectix-e.And even if students didn't care to rally, they cared enough to form a point of view and show support in other ways. \Ye all know that C\KThas an ugly reputation of being dispirited, but this display made me belie\-e we have more spirit than we think. It's funny that shortly after the news of our campus bar problems circulated, other universities (such as Brock, Carletoil and Mohawk College) started ha+g bar problems of their own. Maybe closing down the bars is a tacit may of injecting spirit into students, much like how some people believe starting a war stimulates economy. Well, whatever it was, it worked.. but open up the bars already.

May you spring into some

TOUCHED It is now May, when spring is at its peak and hormones seem to have risen to a new level. The snow has finally melted from all of our extremities and our libidos hare started to blossom once again. This is when some creatures awake from hibernation quite randy. Although, as humans, we do not cram1 into a care and sleep for the winter months (wouldn't that be nice!) our sexual appetites do tend to grow as the weather becomes warmer. This occurrence can be located in many books and movies. Last term, as I sat fighting Mr. Sandman and wishing we hibernated in my '

Chaucer class, I was revitalized by my professor's voice; "May is the season of sexuality". (I admit my ears do tend to perk up each time sex is mentioned -but are you really surprised?) In this instance it was in reference toThe Merchant's Tale in which two men fall in lore with a beautiful woman, May, picking flowers outside of their jail cell at the height of spring. The prof then went off on various tangents displaying the month's sexual usage in other texts but I drifted off daydreaming about having sex in a lush meadow. Disney depicts this spring phenomenon very blatantly in Bambi. As the happy male trio I3ambi, Thumper and Flower - trek through the forest enjoying the day, each takes a turn realizing their sexual instincts. Eventually all three have paired up mith a female, even the skunk! They disappear into the forest for some springtime nookie. As in Bambi, the obvious reason for such behaviour is

procreation. Animals awake in the spring programmed to reproduce; as what might be ingrained in our own brains. This necessity of creation has lessened over time and sex has taken on a different role; pleasure. After asking some guys if they are hornier in the spring another purpose was erected. Less clothing is necessaryas the temperature rises and they enjoy this change. Seeing more skin brings guys to attention. Pinning down one purpose is useless. All that is required is to embrace spring copulation and take advantage of this sexual instinct. To prevent unnecessary frustration let us unite during this season. At the moment, I encourage 'friends mith benefits' arrangements to limit the suffering and always the procural of toys. Enjoy May to its fullest and let's get it on! (Keeping in mind that even the skunk gets some!) mtltue@lmprlnt.uwsterloo.ca

The Matrix Reloaded: set senses on stunned Even for students, Toronto's Mike Kerrigan the artificial and the promotion is a bargain real by combining IMPRINTSTAFF

A highly secretive project has been undenx-aysince February 2000 to redefine the \-ery concept of the action film. After the phenomenal success of the original "Matrix," Larry and Andy K'achowsh, the writers and directors of the film, set their sights on anevengreater achievement.They began amassive undertaking thatwill define 2003 as the year of the Matrix. For the Matrix, the brothers conceived of a type of action now known as 'Bullet Time', where the camera slows to an crawl whde the camera rotatesaroundthe scene.After seeing the techmque emulatedinmovies like "Charlie's Angels" and in the game Max Payne, they decided to create visual effects that would be too time consuming and costly for anyone else to take. An entirelynew video effects studio named 'Esc' was built in an old navy base to begin developing visual effects ne\7erbefore attempted. An example of the lengths they'll go to to produce the perfect visual effect is needed to get a sense of the magnitude of the project. In order to create a chase scene on an ominous lookinghighway,they commissioned a company to build a two-mile loop ofhighwayinciudmgalIthe exit signs, dividers and on-ramp and ox-erpass that cost $300,00Oper quarter mile.

. provincial election is around the corner. Its result will do a lot to help or hurt Ontario niversities, the students who attend them and the people who work there. The current T o 9 government has failed to address the crisis facing Ontario universities. Before casting your vote, find out if the candidates in your riding will commit to the following. Invest in university operating grants. Funds are needed for repair and maintenance for healthy, safe learning conditions. Funds are essential to ensure high quality programs and adequate space for all students. Halt and reverse the contracting out of post-secondary education support services. Library, custodial, maintenance, clerical and technical workers are an integral part of the post-secondary community. Adequate numbers of staff with union contracts guarantee good services versus the low wage, low competence that characterize contracting out. Replace SuperBuild with a publicly financed, accountable construction fund. Private sector partners are private sector profiteers. Sufficient public sector financing should be provided to ensure that new facilities are utilized for the broader public good instead of private interests. Halt and reverse commercialization and corporate influence over academic programs. The private-for-profit universities created under Bill 132 should be turned over to the public sector. All disciplines deserve equitable funding, whether or not connected to private interests. Ensure that there are enough fully funded spaces in our universities got qualified prospective students. The double cohort needs adequate funding if all qualified students are to have a space in the post-secondary system. Increasing enrolments demand that tuition fees are kept down, that new faculty are hired, and that workloads for other campus workers be reasonable. Reduce tuition fees and end the deregulation of tuition fees for graduate and professional programs. Access to a college and university education is a right. That should be based on ability to learn and not ability to pay. Downloading education's costs onto tuition fees must stop. Escalating student debt must be eradicated. Tuition fees require regulation and eventual elimination. Will the candidates in your riding help or hurt post-secondary education? Vote for someone who cares about your future, the future of Ontario. Vote for someone willing to take on the repair of Ontario's post-secondary education system.

In the United States, the increase in the number of cellular phone users has been consistentwith the increase in reported cases of brain cancer. In some cases, there has been a correlation found between the location of the brain tumor and which side of the head the user prefers to hold their phone. The Stewart Report, published in 2000, documents the correlation betveen the heating of biological tissue associatedn-ithmicrowar-eenergyand its effect on the eyes and male reproductive organs, as they are the most thermally-seilsitk-eareas of the body. Cataract formation and reduced sperm count har-e been well documented in man!- cases. In another study, the results of which were published in the same report, it was found that prolonged exposure to mobilc telephone frequencies caused a shortening of REM sleep,anincrease in bloodpressure and a negatix-e effect on brain memory tasks. On the other hand, the report of the Health Councilof the Netherlands in The Hague has analyzed various data from studies conducted in both

the mainstream consumer market. They simply haw not been around long enough to conduct any longterm studies associatedwith their use. hfuch of the confusion over the issues has arisen over the difference between causation and correlation, in that when two events occur simultaneously, it does not necessarily mean that one caused the other. This was ex-ident when David Kapard from the US attempted to sue the cellular phone industry in 1993 for the death of his wife from brain cancer, who happened to be a frequent cellular phone user. His lawsuitwas dismissed in 1993, as theremas alack of conclusive e.iidence proving that it was the cellular phone that caused his wife's brain tumour. All of this being said however, there are also no studies that are able toprox-ethat cellular phones are completelr safe. *rhus,for the time being we mill haw to make our o l ~ n opmions on the subject based on the oftshaky conclusions found from these studies until more conclusive ex idence can be found \K'haterer the negative health risks associated ~xiththem, whether confirmed or simply suspected, the use of cellular phones has not been negatwely influenced In fact, according to the CBC there are nine million cell phone users in Canada, a number growing bj 5,000 every day, malring Canadians some of the high?st pet, ,,pitausers of cellular phones m the \v orld \\'I& the growingnumber of services being made available for use on cellularphones mcludmgemail and mtemet capacities, these numbers will most 1Lkely not subside anytime soon.

Endothelial cells line the blood ressels. One of their roles is to help regulate the contraction and dilation of blood vessels and to help prevent the formation of artery-cloggmgblood clots. "Endothelial cells are a trip-wire warning system signaling early onset of symptoms that could lead to heart disease and stroke," says Dr. Rush. Which is where breakfast comes in. One sign of damage to endotheld cells is the production of molecules called oxygen free radicals.
