An altogether surprising funding announcement by the provincial go. vemment has left UWs administra- tion in doubt as to how to proceed in solving some pressing under-fund- ing problems.

On October 30 Waterloo’s Senate ’ Finance Committee outlined its op- tions, paying special attention to the $1.8 million void created by the pro- vince’s cancellation of the computer fee.

During last weeks finance meeting the Senate committee made the fol- lowing proposals prior to this weeks government funding announce- ment: a) cut 1.5 per cent from the general operating budget, across the board. b) cut $1.8 million in central

, computer services. c) invite the stu- dents to approve an offsetting fee.

The last proposal of inviting the students to approve an offsetting fee would be arrived at by a campus. wide referendum. All of the commit- tees options, however, are in doubt as a result of the funding announce- ment.

UW president Doug Wright said this week the announcement ob- viously affects the finance commit- tee proposal, but he refused to dismiss the concept of a referen- dum. Until the university knows for sure how much money it will receive it would be “stupid” to press ahead with the idea, but the option has to remain, said Wright.

“We’re not sure it [the increase] is going to meet the needs . . . we don’t know how much is coming to UW,” said Wright. “Let’s just wait and see.”

On Monday the government an- nounced a 7.3 per cent increase in funding to universities. The Universi- ty of Waterloo’s administration is in a

query over exactly how much the funding increase translates into dol- lars and cents for this particular insti- tution. The amount allocated to each institution varies through-out the pro- vince.

What all this means to Waterloo’s students is that they might still be asked to volunteer an extra fee to offset a projected. deficit for the 1987188 academic year.

More- gov’t money -for industiial research ’ _ I

by Sam Hiyate Imprint Staff

The deal may sound promising, but according to UWs Dean of Re- search Ernie Holmes, URIF, “al- though well-meaning, is ill-timed (unless base funding is increased) and ill-conceived. It presents the usual challenge for us to devise in- novative ways of making the best use of another government R&D pro- gram.”

tracts entail. UW already does a higher percentage of contract work in terms of its total R&D budget than other Canadian and most U.S univer- sities - including M.I.T. (We spend 12 percent of our budget on indus- trial contracts while M.1.T spends 10 percent.)”

more effectively.” Holmes said- this sort of scheme

was proposed in the U.K. and was recommended in the “Wright Task Force on R&D report to the federal government.”

titularly beneficial to the university, I

The Ontario government has re- vised the University Research Incen- tive Fund (URIF) so it will match each dollar invested by industry or busi- ness in an approved research project at an Ontario university. This repla- ces the old formula, where Ontario gave $1 for every $2 othetise in- vested.

Colleges and Universities Minister Gregory Sorbara announced last month the government will provide up to $25 million over the next three years under the URIF fund.

Why is it ill-timed? Holmes said “the real problem of the university is a base-budget one. The high student- /faculty ratio and lack of official sup- port staff means that there aren’t faculty researchers waiting around for the extra work that industrial con-

57 -hour relay run to start this weekend

The 1, lth annual charity run, organized on campus by St. Jerome’s and Notre Dame, comes to a close this weekend.

The event was started 11 years ago by two students who wanted to thank the community for letting students become involved in the community activities. As a result, each year the students choose a local charity to support. Funds are raised through various on-campus activities that students can participate in, as well as the local campaign drive involving a can drive and a raffle draw.

This year’s goal is to raise $7,000 for St. Monica House, a centre for young pregnant girls. St. Monica House offers counselling services and programs to help the girls deal with their situation and to answer any questions they may have. The girls are offered constant support, a place to stay, supplies of needed personal items and friendship.

The money raised by the run will help St. Monica House maintain and improve existing programs.

The charity run opening ceremonies start at 3:30 today and runners will be participating in a 51-hour relay around Ring Road.

Why is it ill-conceived? Holmes said “the program addresses only one side of the equation - an incen- tive for industry to make use of uni- versity facilities and talent - but given the difficulties facing universi- ties, where is the incentive for the university?’

Holmes compared the linking of government to an existing relation- ship between a university and a com- pany as “a menage a trois” where government becomes an “intruder.”

“it is unnecessary and acts as a deterrent for both the companies and university researchers,” said Holmes. “It adds an element of un- certainty and delay. The review by a provincial committee is not alto- gether welcomed by industry either.”

“I gather there is good news out today (citing the 7.3 per cent in- crease in university financing for the next fiscal year) which may relieve the base budget situation,” said Holmes. “This will help in terms of URlFs success. Despite my feeling _ this approach is not altogether the

Holmes proposed a better plan. “If the government wishes to promote more research interaction ~4th in- dustry, it should put the onus on the university researcher to initiate con- tracts. It should also provide, suffi- cient incentive: for example; an annual bonus based on the amount of contract research done for indus- try that year. The bonus should be given as a free research grant to the researchers concerned. Not only would this be a stimulus, it would enable the researchers to keep a re- search team together with the neces- sary support staff and thus enable the researcher to use his/her time

institutions money to go co-op.”

“At UW we already devote a signifi- cant amount to support the indus- try/university interaction via our co-op programs. And incidentally, our co-op program has never been~ recognized financially by govem- ment, which gives other educational

possible ramifications.

The divestment policies and stu- dent boycotts organized by some Canadian universities in response to apartheid may eventually be adopted at the University of Waterloo.

McGill was the first university in the country to act against apartheid, with a proposed complete divestment of its holdings in South Africa, amount- ing to a total withdrawal of about $40 million. A number of universities have followed suit with similar, or less extreme measures. These include partial or voluntajl boycotts, studies, reports, awareness days, petitions and fund raising activities.

under discussion is the possibility of divestment and boycotting. No deci- sion has as yet been finalized, as ar- guments both for and against these issues are matters upon which the Federation, as representatives of the students, must agree.

Those advocating the use of boy- cotts maintain that, while any action taken by the UW would have virtually no-impact whatsoever on either the finances of companies with South African interests, or on South Afri- ca’s economy itself, a boycott of pro- ducts would serve as a political statement and as a symbol of opposi- tion to apartheid. Other universities might follow UW’s example, and with a combined effort, some impqct would in fact be achieved.

Earlier this year, a report on the findings and recommendations made bjl an anti-apartheid commit- tee prompted the student union of the University of Ottawa to boycott all products of Rothmans and Carling O’Keefe, two Canadian companies controlled by South African interests. In response to this move, and at the request of former UW Federation of

-Students president Sonny Flanagan, a similar anti-apartheid committee has been formed here at the Univer- sity of Waterloo.

Apart from lectures, news articles and information booths in the Cam- pus Centre, little has been done until

The University of ‘Waterloo will re- ceive ;$822,000 over the next three years from the federal government, through the Canadian lntemational

. Development Agency (CIDA) to con- tinue a $2 million Freshwater Fisher- ies Development project in Ethiopia.

The duration of the first phase was three years, from 1983 to 1986. The second phase will allow research and training to continue until 1989. The project will be carried out in partner- ship with Addis Ababa University, lo- cated in Ethiopia’s capital.

Addis Ababa University will pro- vide $569,000 in goods and services; UW will contribute $340,000 in servi- ces.

Ethiopia, ravaged by famine, ranks as the second poorest country in the world, with an-average per capita in- come of $140 a year. In-this light, the UW-Addis Ababa fisheries program will increase food supply, specifically in the form of cheap protein. It will also provide constant employment to approximately 3,000 fishermen,

.

and indirectly to workers in the trans- port, handling and processing of fish.

The immediate objective of the projeti is to set up a graduate train- ing and research centre at Addis 1 Ababa, using Waterloo faculty as re- source people. Eight to 10 students at the masters level are being trained at Addis Ababa University, while four PhD candidates have been studying at Waterloo and conducting super- vised research in Ethiopia. The pro- ject, when launched in 1983, was expected to be self-sustaining in six years.

Dr. Herbert Fernando of the Biol- ogy department said the research fo- cuses on the country’s freshwater resources and the use of the natural fish supplies to help feed the hungry.

primarily, the hope is to increase the fish yield from 3,000 or 4,000 tons per year to 40,000 or 50,000, he said. The hopes rest on the abun- dance of the native tilipia fish, which is available close to where it is most available and is cheap enough for

most people to afford.

UW s Delta Omega Chi fraternity is no longer alone in its fight for official recognition.

November 4 saw the organiza- tional meeting of the newly-proposed Kappa Gamma Phi sorority in CC 113. Organizer Donna-Lee Irwin, a third-year dance major, said the in- tention of the meeting was to see if anyone is interested in the idea. Suffi- cient interest was shown as seven girls attended the, meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, each person introduced herself and presented her personal reasons for wanting to join a sorority. The rea- sons were varied and interesting. .One was the opportunity to be part of a pioneering group, since this would be UWs first sorority. Another sug- gested that helpful career connec- tions may be formed. Two others complained that none of the other campus organizations match their interests. Another said that the in- crease in school spirit generated by the sorori-ty would improve the pdliti- cal mobilization of students.. All agreed that involvement in such a group would foster deep and lasting friendships and give rise to organiza- tional skills; leadership qu&ies, self- confidence and professionalism. Academic success is also encour- aged.

Immediate requirements consist of the election of officers, recruit- ment of an advisor, a first initiation, prepaiation of chapter documents and, most importantly, a charter from a national sordrity.

Anyone interested in getting in- volved should attend the next meet- ing, which will take place November

Big black hole sucks UW dry

by Steve Kannon Imprint staff

Monday’s provincial funding-announcement is certainly a welcome change in the wtiy government has been handing out money for post- secondary education. In the past decade or so, the best this university could hope for was inflationary increases in its operating budget, even though expenses were skyrocketing.

With this move, the Liberal government has made a move to correct the neglect in the system - it’s on track, but there’s a long way to go yet.

Now that-the government seems to be getting off its collective butt, the administration here should follow suit. The ivjection of new money into the UW system should provide benefits for student - all students. The increase is for basic operations, not for computerization, and cer- tainly not for the new computer research building.

So much of UW’s energy and money has been poured into thaIt black hole named after a former premier. The university over-expanded itself, sacrificing more pressing educational needs, for the sake of this build- ing. Now that the financial pressures have been somewhat eased, the administratioo should think first of other campus needs -such as new books for the Arts Library - before sinking any more funds into Doug Wright’s pet projects.

‘Of course, there’s always the option of a voluntary student fee to help finance computer costs. This option, which would see a student refer- endum on the issue, is seriously being considered as a replacement for the totally involuntary computer fee. If such an idea passed, each student would fork out an additional $60 a term for computer services.

Any student who thought the concept acceptable, which the admin- istration obviously thinks is feasible, w’ould soon change his or her mind when tuition takes a four per cent jump for inflation and a further five per cent hike next year\ when the government’s incidental fee ruling comes into play.

In this light, the voluntary fee idea is reprehensible. And until the administration proves it’s putting the needs of all student ahead of its own gains, the whole idea is laughable.

The economics of mystici-sm: is this proper in class? by Doug Thompson Imprint staff

- ?onsc/ousness transformation” grew rich on the now dying fad, and in conjunction with several est alumni, established The Hunger Project in 1977. The theology of the group is that mind controls the world, and if people’s minds can be converted to taking the.problem of hunger very seriously, the problem is solved.

The Hunger Project is an unusual charity. Unusu- al in that it attracts intense opposition wherever it goes. It’s UW champion, economics professor John Hotson, says this is because the idea is new. He compared the wisespread media criticism of his group to that experienced by The Church of Scien- tology, the Jehova’s Witnesses and other new reli- gious ideas. Yet he also maintained that hisgroup is ’ neither a religion nor a ‘cult. “It’s &philosophy” he says.

This takes the idea of mind-over-matter to an absurd extreme, and leads to some “transforma- tions” of the English’la.nguage that are as absurd as the group% ideas. What the *groaj> wants, to quote sdme of its own literature’; “is .peo@ev “who have 1 absolutely gotten that hunger can end, and that their lives are about ending it. ” (sic) If that sentence mikes little sense to you, don’t worry, it is an exam- ple of the odd manipulation of English which typi- fies est-like mind transformation, or as it is less flatteringly known, “mind control” techniques. When you “own” the Hunger Project as yours, you -will “have gotten that hunger can end”. Money raised by the group is used to encourage more,peo- ple to “own” and- “get” the group’s idea.

As a philosophy, it competes in-a marketplace of ideas alongside many others. But it is also a regis- tered charity in Canada which raises money and conducts “Ending Hunger Briefings”. The com- plaint with the group centres mostly on the fact that these briefings do nothing to end hunger, and of the money it earns in donations, very little ever goes to hungry people.

California’s Cult Awareness Group describes The Hunger Project as an organization whose major objective is the perpetuation and,expansion of itself.

Its spokesmen admit that its objectives are “edu- cational and inspirational”. In itself, this is not a cause for complaint. What should lead to a reflec- tive second thought is the idea that merely thinking about, talking about, and developing positive atti- tudes about hunger is enough. Sure, it probably doesn’t hurt, except insofar as thisgroup maintains

‘that its activities will, in fact, end hunger, not by feeding the hungry, but by transforming the con- sciousness of thdworld as some supernatural level. The card you are asked to sign says you “own” the Hunger Project. The objective of the group is “trans- form consciousness” and the way to transform con- sciousness is to adopt this group’s ideas as your own. At least this is what they say.

It is all a terribly cruel hoax. Money which might have been donated to groups that actually are in- vesting in development projiects, when delivered to the hands of The Hunger Project, goes to mind transformation and endless publications instead.

The briefings consist of hours of horrifying statis- tics about hunger. Then those who show up are asked to sign a card and give money to the group and are told that this will help the world’s hungry. And if-you want to help even more, you can get more involved in the group and hold briefings yourself.

It is a product of the naivete of our times that so many-people can think that talking about the prob- lem is enough, that changing public opinion will feed the starving, that action isn’t needed. It is com- forting to.think that, and The Hunger Project is very much into cqmforting people. But it’s not the world’s starving millions who can take comfort in The Hunger Project. Most-comfortable is the organi- zation’s millionaire founder, Jack Rosenberg, alias Werner Erhard.

A one time used car salesman from Philadelphia, Rosenberg/Erhard moved to California and estab- lished est (Erhard Seminars Training). The guru of

I have heard the English word “got” used to des- cribe a disease’, “he got the flu”, or even religion, “he got religion” or “he got saved”, but never in regard to a charity. Do you know anyone who “got” the Red Cross or Oxfam? No, this is not a charity of that sort.

It-then came to Imprint’s attention that professor Hotson is conducting “Ending Hunger Briefings” in a first year economics cla.ss, complete with the so- licitation of signatures on little cards. Indeed, even his exams contain questions about The Hunger Pro- ject.

This activity, even more than The Hunger Project itself, raises questions and causes concern. Stu- dents in class are a captive -audience, there is no chance to walk out and avoid the effort to have one’s consciousness transformed. Further, we have seen professor Hotson in action and noted a most unusu- al resistance to even considering critical reflection on The Hunger Project. “It’s an idea whose time has come” he says, with the fervour of an Evangelist, and when it is pointed out that many respectable news media, including the CBC, Forbes, and The New Internationalist, to name a few, have pub- lished damning exposes on his organization, ‘he characterizes these as false smear campaigns by the uninformed. This refusal to even consider the possibility that an idea different than his own might have some validity surely is much more typical of a religious true-believer than a respectable academic inculcating knowledge sod a capacity for critical thought. That he should be allowed to use a lecturn for s.uch purposes, and a captive audience of stu- dents as his congregation is a disgrace to academia.

The fact that complaints from students about this activity go back at least five years, and that the problem continues, is another example of the cru- cial need for campus-wide published course eva- luations whereby students have access to the judgments on the courSe of the previous year’s stu- dents. Problems like this would never arise with good course evaluations, and if they did, an gxpedi- tious solution would be assured.

Hunger Project To the editor, world.”

The piece you published in the October 17th Imprint headlined “Group ain’t no charity” is a new low in accurate reporting on The Hunger project. For starters, The Hunger Project is a charity, an ed- ucational charity, so recognized by the UN, the development com- munity and the governments of every country in which it does work around the world.

At last count, The Hunger Pro- ject (THP) has offices and organ- ized activities in 23 countries and more than five million individuali in 152 countries have expressed their commitment to ending hunger by enrolling in THP. As Nigel Martin, executive director of the Canadian cbuncil for interna- tional co-operation (a coalition of more than 130 Canadian volun- tary organizations involved in glo- bal development) puts it, “That such a large number of people . . . have made such a commitment is a very visible, tangible demon- stration . . . more and more people are realizing that we don’t have to leave the problems of the world to others to solve. Small as each per- son’s contribution might appear to be, when you add it up you have an amazing impact in the whole

It is particularly inappropriate for Jane Reble to criticize THP for focusing its efforts on education rather than “hunger relief” since the Global Community Centre, where she works, is itself and ed- ucational charity. And, of course we have to increase our internal growth if we’re to educate more people. THP in Canada now has a paid staff of eight and much of the work is done by unpaid volunteers like myself. But even h&-e her facts just aren’t right. Yes, educa- tion for action is the main thrust of THP and we have raised well over a million dollars for others to spend on hunger relief and devel- opment.

About the only fact she has straight is that THP has a “tie” to est, which she considers a “cult”, because Werner Erhard founded both and is on the Global board of THP. Serving with him on that board are some of the foremost experts on the planet.

I am proud of my participation in The Hunger Project on this cam- pus, community, throughout North America and in Europe. I hiive personally enrolled several thousand people in THP over the past eight years, perhaps, two

Everybody wants hunger ended, but most didn’t know there was anythirig they could do about it. _ I’m glad to know that in all these years’in which I and many others have had folks fill out cards here that UW’s Security department had “not received any complaints about The Hunger Project solici-

Lighten up Chuck!! a To the editor,

This is in reply to Charles Mak’s comment on rock ‘n’ roll (Imprint, Oct. 31). The main thrust of your article seems to be that progres- sive music is exploring and repre- sentative of exploring and progressive people. Also that since the university is composed of exp‘toring and progressive peo- ple that this is the music we all should listen to at Fed Hall, since it is representative of the explor- ing and progressive nature of the university.

However progressiveness is more than listening to music. If firid it hard to believe someone is in touch with what’is representa- tive of humanity at its most ex- ploratory when they must rev&-t

to insulting anyone who dis- agrees with their tastes by calling them banal and backward. I also see nothing progressive or explor- atory in dictating that people must listen to your musical tastes.

University is much more than progressiveness. It is the mixing of many different cultures, ideals, and interests. Learning to have an open mind is probably the most important aspect of a university education. In fact people who have progressive (imaginative) at- titudes know the difference be- tween what is concrete and can not be changed and what limits are placed on them by their own bias.

Often the exploration of new

Don’t #quote me To the editor, .

I would like to respond to the article on the Hunger Project which appeared in the Imprint October 17. In speaking with the Imprint I stated I was not an au- thority on The Hunger Project and could only share concerns ex- pressed by other individuals and organizations. I indicated that I viewed the expressed concerns as serious ones but I assumed that the Imprint would investigate these with other sources. I did not expect to be q.uoted as an author- itative voice on The Hunger Pro- ject.

In addition it should be clarified that Global Community Ceptre does not publicly criticize other organizations although weI will share any information we may have about other organizations.

I do have personal difficulties with the approach of The Hunger Project which come from the co’hments of former members or supporters of the group or other organizations with more direct experience with The Hunger Pro- ject. Many of the concerns were reinforced by a-recent story on the CBC’s Fifth Estate which investi- gated The Hunger Project.,Profes- sgr Hotson and I have discussed these and our differences are clear.

It is certainly in the interest of -every person to look critically at

the organizations of which she/he is a member-or supporter. It is then up to each individual to decide for herself/himself what her or his involvement will be. Sincerely, Jane Reble

Napkins, not priority To the editor. your child to save him from dying

I was shocked to learn about the campaign of the Women’s Centre for sending sanitary napkins to women in Nicaragua.

The remark “For women, the lack of sanitary napkins is an added indignity” could easily be included in a’ P & G television commercial.

But no, Third World women to do not tieed this item as a priority. The first priority needs are more in the areas of food, medicine, con’traceptives, vitamins, educa- tion, etc. Once these needs have been satisfied, then we.can send some “luxuries”. I know that many first world ladies would think that sanitary napkins are not a luxury, but yes, they are when you do not have antibiotics for

bf i stomach infection or when one has to accept either being pregnant,or breast-feeding a baby for 15 or 20 years as a normal situation.

The UW Women’s Centre has not thought deeply enough about the consequences of the prop.- osal. By sending napkins, a new need is being created. However, this need cannot be satisfied in the future because either there are no such items for sale in Nica- ragua or, if there are, the average woman cannot affdrd to “buy them.

The. Politics of Food . by Roger Musselman WPIRG volunteer

-.

For the majority of people on campus, the events of October revolving around food issues, passed with only a moment’s notice. Personally, I attended only one of these events but in retrospect, wish that

,I had taken the time to benefit from the excellent resources and resource people which were availa- ble to the university community. It is, after all, these types of events offering a forum for the exchange of ideas that keep Universities on the cutting edge of thought and research.

indigenous to developed countries such as the Uni- ted States and Canada but have their genetic herit- age in the Third World. Although agribusiness in North America relies on genetic input from coun- tries such as Ethiopia and India, agribusiness in those countries has been chiefly responsible for the increasing extinction of biogenetic materials which are essential to North American food production. The fact that both of these agribusiness structures belong to the same corporate network, underlies the absurdity which propels our food industry.

Pat Mooney’s lecture, on October 23, was poten- tially of interest to all students, regardless of univer- sity faculty. “The Politics of Food” touched on bases which are of importance to all of us; technological advancement, biotechnology, corporate concentra- tion, development and underdevelopment, nutri- tion, conservation and resource exploitation. Mr Mooney managed to tie all of these issues together coherently from a political-economic perspective. He noted that we must be more than passively inter- ested in the events and processes which are taking place around us.

More than anything, Mr. Mooney drove home the absurdities of what we have come to call “pro- gress”. In the name of agricultural advancement we have effectively destroyed plant gene pools not only for those plants which are no longer part of our diet, but also for plants which we consider to be-staples of our nutritional input.

In turn, the export monocultures which Third World agribusinesses feed on and which have been the preferred policy of international agencies such as the World Bank, help to create the conditions for socio-political unrest. During the media heyday of the African famine, there was extreme attention given to the political orientation of governments in the famine region Oddly enough, at the suggestion of “experts” in the developed world, there is a heavy concentration of meat production for the pet-food market in these countries. What was done in the name of economic expediency fed the dogs and cats of Europe while thousands of people starved to death. ’

attention they are receiving, I should point out that the’ “scientific” creationists -are also going to be blessed with the same kind of attention. But-l di- gress. Onward.)

Now, I’m sure we could all have some fun dis- cussing just how my life could be more fulfilling but, seeing as how this paper is PG-rated, perhaps we should just move right along to more pressing mat- ters. More specifically, the Church of Scientology and its charismatic founder, the late L. Ron Hub- L bard.

A small warning first - to deal properly with the Scientology cult and their fascinating view of the, universe is going to take some time, so I’m reserving the next three columns for this, and even that will just scratch the surface. I realize the reference to Scientology as a “cult” is bound to raise the hackles of its loyal followers but the attitude here is, if it walks like a duckand it talks like a duck. . . well, you get the idea. (And lest anyone think that the Scien-

As with any cult, there are actually two ways of looking at Scientology. Firstly, there is the official basis (or total lack thereof) for the religious and/or scientific beliefs held- by the devoted followers. Se- condly, and quite independently, there are the per- sonalities involved. The reason this distinction is made is that, very simply, it is possible for any sys- tem of beliefs, no matter how outrageous or un- founded, to be considered a good thing if the end result is happier, better-adjusted and more produc- tive members of society. (One example of this type of belief system leaps to mind, but we’ll avoid dis- cussion here since it falls outside the scope of this column; use your imagination.)Therefore, to set the tone for the remainder of this topic, we’re going to take care of the personalities first.

One measure of how well any organization deals with people is evident in how it deals with its own followers. And to see just how Scientology fares in this respect, who better to ask than an ex-follower?

continued from page 6 Cyril Vosper was a member of Scientology from 1954 until 1968, when he was expelled for discipli- nary reasons. In retaliation for what he considered unfair treatment, Vosper struck back at the cult with his book The Mind Benders (Granada Publishing, 1971). The prologue alone is worth the price of the book, as this is where Vosper describes the circum- stances leading up to his being branded a “suppres- sive person” within the church and his subsequent expulsion.

In the opening scene, we find Vosper practically dead on his feet, having been awake almost non- stop for 11 days with perhaps two hours of sleep per night, and not having been allowed to bathe the entire time since he was declared to be in a “Condi- tion of Liability”. After finally being allowed to go, home to sleep, Vosper is awakened less than two , hours later by a Scientology Ethics Officer and forced to return to the main office to face a Commit- tee of Evidence. The result of this meeting (which seems to compare only marginally favorably with the Spanish Inquisition) is that Vosper is declared a Suppressive Person and is expelled from the manor grounds that house the Scientologists ~ without being allowed to see his family. Charming folks, no?

In defense; the Scientologists are quick to point out that this kind of abuse of their own members was officially abolished back around 1970. It may indeed be that the church treats its followers a bit more humanely these days, but they can still kick the. . . uh, daylights out of their critics, given half a chance.

One particularly chilling example of this involves author Paulette Cooper, whose scathing attack on the cult in the form of the book The Scandal of Scientology made her the target of a systematic program of harassment by the church. James Randi, in his classic book ~/&I-I-F/am, reports that Cooper was’immediatelysued bythechurchfor $15 million, “robbed, threatened with a gun, and vilified in letters sent to her neighbors saying that she was a sexual deviant with venereal dise’ase”. Cooper also claims that she was framed on the charge of making bomb threats against the church, and al- most landed in jail as a result. This entire incident took a bizarre twist inoctober of 1979, however, when several. Scientologists were convicted of con- spiracy after they were found rifling the files of government officials who were involved in an in- vestigation of the cult, and information about the program to discredit Cooper (codenamed “Opera- tion PC Freakout”) was uncovered, allowing Cooper to launch her own $40 million countersuit.

Another target of the church has been the Com- mittee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), a Buffalo-based debunk- ing ,organization, along with its official journal, The Skeptical inquirer. And much as I would like to get into how the Scientologists tried to discredit CSICOP in the eyes of major religious leaders (an incident involving letters with bogus CIA letter- heads), I figure it’s about time to wrap this up. After all, we still have a couple of columns to go, and it only gets more bizarre.

Stay tuned, campers.

‘Mass arrests at Queen’s I Homecoming celebrations

KINGSTON (CUP) .- Police over- reacted in the arrest of more than 100 Queen’s University students dur- ing recent Homecoming celebra- tions, say the organizers of the university’s annual weekend-long festivities.

Police made 36 alcohol-related ar- rests Oct. 24 and 33 the next day at

and near the annual street party, which for the first time was approved and legalized by city council.

Councillor Helen Cooper said council would probably “not give then another chance” if students asked to have the event sanctioned again. , ,

A convenience store was vandal-

ized, and the owner reportedly stood in front of the store’s ~entrance with a metal pipe trying to reclaim sho- plifted merchandise. Students were allegedly clearing shelves and urinat- ing on the floor. Queen’s students also vandalized a downtown pub.

A member of the university march- ing band sustained a serious leg in- jury in a collision with a police officer who was tackling a fan at the annual Homecomrng football match with a Carleton iniversih/ team .

Despite these charges, Queen’s University student union president Jim Hughes said, that this year’s Homecoming was “low-key” and that the legal street party, organized by the student union, succeeded in keeping other, illegal parties under control.

“It was pretty casual,” said Hughes, adding he had “reserva- tions” about how arrests were made at the street party.

“I guess they [police] got pumped up for this event too,” said Hughes. “They had a very confrontational atti- tude. They were telling [students and alumni] constables what to do, and were very tough and aggressive in their ticketing.“But Queen’s repre- sentative Dick Bowman said the uni- versity has no intention of cancelling Homecoming. “Queen’s has been proud of this event for 10 years. . . the rnost spirited universities have the most spirited Homecomings,” he said.

Hackett said-the most common ticketed offence was display and con- sumption of alcohol, while the most common arrest charges were for public. intoxication. Many assault charges were also laid.

H~=unemplovment youth to school

University enrollment ihcreasbs nation,ally by John Gushue Canadian University Press OTTAWA (CUP) - The 1980s would be the decade during which post-secondary enrollment bot- tomed out, the demographers pre- dicted.

But the demographers were wrong. While the age group that tra- ditionally has the heaviest post-se- condary participation rate - 17-2 1 -year-olds - has narrowed considerably in the last decade, col- leges and universities across the

country are reporting another year of

An informal telephone survey con- ducted by the Association of Univer-

steady enrollment increases.

sities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) confirms that predictions made 20 years ago are completely wrong.

“We originally saw the group of 17-21 year olds declining, and we expected the participation rate to be about the same,” said AUCC re- searcher Marino Kristjanson. “per- haps we were relying too much on

connecting these two.” According to the AUCC, enrol-

lment across Canada has increased for the seventh consecutive year. Ful- l-time undergraduate enrollment is up by 1.3 per cent, with the largest increases - 6.3 and 4.4 per cent, respectively - reported in New- foundland and Saskatchewan.

“We would have predicted differ- ently,” said Krisjanson. “I think we would have expected *an overall de- crease of at least that much.”

With federal and provincial go vemments restricting post-secon- dary funding, education lobby groups say the quality of education in Canada is declining. Increased enrol- lment means heavier workloads for faculty, whose numbers have not grown to match the swell in student numbers.

“There are no resources to cover the increased enrollments,” said Vie Sim of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. “Students have been affected by a lower quality edu- cation, but it is the faculty who have been bearing the day-to-day effects of underfunding,” he said.

say high unemployment rates are keeping many young people in school. “What we have now is the unwilling student,” said Lynn McDo-- nald, federal New Democrat post-se- condary critic. ‘Enrollment is up because jobs are scarce.”

Jean Wright, an accessibility re- searcher for the Canadian Federa- tion of Students, said groups that traditionally have avoided universi- ties are now unexpectedly enrolling. “For example, women who are older and who are going back to school is the trend that no one really pre- dieted,” she said.

The, disciples of ‘est’ continued from page1 hard has become a millionaire on the proceeds of his “consciousness transforming” est centre in Califor- nia. Although the fad has waned, his efforts are now directed into appar- ently philanthropic activities, such as THP on whose Board of Directors he selves along with many est ‘gradu- ates’ .

It is not only the reputation of Werner Erhard which is leading some people and organizations to seriously question The Hunger Pro- ject. “its critics argue that The Hunger Project is capitalizing on peo- ple’s concern about world poverty and using it to insinuate the ideas of a mind-manipulating cult.” according to the New Internationalist.

THP claims to have three million members worldwide. To be a member, one signs a card saying “The Hunger Project is mine com- pletely.” The signer is expected to check off one or more of six boxes outlining what he/she will do to “ex- press commitment”. One of these choices is to contribute monthly to THP, another is to enroll others in THP, a third is. to participate with THP.

Prof. Hotson occasionally gives “Ending Hunger Briefings” on cam- pus and teaches material from the group’s book in his classes.

The approach THP uses in rec’ruit- ing new members and in their litera- ture is very similar to est briefings. Accordin to The New Intemational- ist (June 3 85), “. . . many of the Pro. ject’s key organizers are est ‘graduates’ and many of the tech-

niques it applies to thought (or non- thought) about hunger issues are strikingly similar.” Hotson himself is a ‘graduate’ of est.

According to the CBC’s “Fifth Est- ate” program of October 28, THP raised $7 million last year, but only spent $235,000 of it on direct aid to the hungry. However, THP does not claim to use their money or time on directly aiding hungry people. In- stead, members concentrate on promoting awareness of the prob- lem of world hunger and on “educa- tion and inspiration”. Most of their energy is used to promote THP itself through seminars, “briefings”, news- papers and newsletters published by THP.

THP runs ads asking for donations so they can, among other things, run’ more ads. Their ads have appeared in major newspapers, but usually run

i in their own publications, including 1 one they describe as the “largest cir-

culation newspaper. on the planet.” They ask for money, sometimes for

t other organizations such as Save 1 The Children, but many ads simply 1 ask for contributions to THP.

What exactly the money is used for is not clear. THP is very vague about where it goes citing “education and awareness” over and over. Some of it may be going to pay legal fees judg- ing by the number of organizations the Project is suing or threatening to sue including the CBC and COMA (Council On ‘Mind Abuse). The Hunger Project office in Toronto re-

I, fused to tell Imprint what its eight , employees actually do.

1 UNIQUE,., ANY- WAY.YOU SERVE ITI

COMA readily responds to enquir- ies regarding THP and wag at the University of Guelph warning stu- dents about the group. Other wam- ings come from Cult Awareness in California who describe THP as an organization “whose major objective is the perpetuation and expansion of itself ‘.

Although THP has drawn harsh criticism, it has also received endor- sements from prominent members of UN committees, and from the Globe and Mail in a March 24 editor. ial. In November, 1983, former Kit- chener MP Peter Lang endorsed the group only to retract ‘his endorse-. ment in February of 1984 after being given more information on the or- ganization. This year, the Metro To- ronto Separate School Board, which had allowed THP briefings in its schools, banned the group because of its techniques.

The uncertainty surrounding THP stems partly from its own literature in which vague catch phrases are used repeatedly such as “an idea whose time has come”, “a context includes all positions” and “political will”.

Uncertainty on other fronts comes from projects like the $1 million de- velopment effort in Costa Rica, funded jointly with Save The Child- ren. Costa Rica is the only Latin American country in which hunger is not considered a major problem. Why Costa Rica? Forbes magazine (Nov. 18/85) may have found the answer. “One reason may be the man who put the deal together, a prominent ‘Costa Rican government official and friend of Erhard’s named Fernando Flares-Banuet. He just happens to be the same individual whose San Jose Charity served as a conduit for the $15 million Zurich loan to Erhard in 1981.”

Erhard persuaded prominent banker Wolfgang Somary to loan the money to “Werner Erhard & Asso- ciates’ (a sole proprietorship) which would be transformed into a charity and the funds used to “benefit the world”. The money was loaned, at a two per cent interest rate, through the Intercultural Cooperation foun- dation in Zurich. The money went first to a bank in Panama Cii, then through “what appears to be a spur. ious Costa Rican foundation” in San Jose called the Fundacion Soberana Orden de San Juan de Jerusalen. This group “had in fact been set up by an Erhard friend (Flares-Banuet) several days before the transfer oc- curred, and also stood to benefit.”

What was actually done with the money? $1.6 million was used to pay off Erhard’s personal debt. $1.5 mil- lion went to purchase “a body of knowledge” from a firm in the Ne- therlands called Welbehagen (plea- sure) which turned out to be owned by something called the Werner Er- hard Foundation for est in Zurich. $8.5 million was used to “buy” assets for Werner Erhard & Associates from a charitable trust he had estab- lished in Jersey (ownership of said trust consigned to a California com- pany called est). Another $900,000 was used to purchase artwork direct- ly from the trust. What this boils down to is $12.5 million went to eith- er Erhard directly or to trusts owned

^ by est. As late as the end of 1985, the original $15 million loan had not been repaid.

The time spent on hunger “varies from semester to semester”, said Hotson.

Associate dean of -undergraduate affairs, Gary Griffin, said he is “aware that there have been complaints” but the numbers of complaints are very small. World hunger is potentially a macroeconomic problem, he said. If that’s the way it’s being presented in

the classroom, then it is not clear that it is a problem, said Griffin.

Griffin said that handing out cards in class for students to sign and sub- mit is “something that should not happen.” It is “detrimental to the classroom environment”, he said.

Dean of Arts Robin Banks said he is aware there is a concern on the part of students and he has dis-

cussed it with professor Hotson. No matter how well meaning, a profes- sor should not use his position, said Banks. No student should feel any kind of coercion, he said.

Midterms from as long ago as 1984-85 include mandatory ques- tions on world hunger and the End- ing Hunger Briefing. A student of Hotson’s in the fall of 1983 said that one-third of the course dealt- with world hunger and Economics 102 students who took the course in the 1984 winter term said two to three weeks were spent on the topic of - hunger.

Professor Hotson is a volunteer for The Hunger Project. He has been conducting Ending Hunger Brief- ings for the past eight years on cam- pus. The Hunger Project, an organization which aims to solve world hunger through educational seminars and raising public con- sciousness, has been widely critic- ized for its activities.

by Scott Gardner Imprint Staff

The British band Shriekback was 1 in Toronto Sunday night supporting their most recent release, Big Night Music, with a live show at the Con- cert Hall. Taking the stage about 8:30, the Shriekback Big Live Band treated the audience to an ons- laught of their brand of syntho-pop- funk for close to two full hours. Spending less time with his synthes- izers and keyboards, an area left solely in the nimble hands of Steve Halliwell, head-man Barry Andrews, looking like an insane Bhuddist monk, leapt about the stage with apparent glee all the while flashing his slick reptilian grin. -

Although most of the material was taken from Big Night Music which relies less on banks of Fair- lights and sequencers than earlier Shriekback offerings, songs from their previous album, Oil and

Gold, such as Everything That Rises Must Converge and Hammer- heads were included along with a cover of the Defunkt tune Razor’s Edge and classic Shriekbackian ol- dies, Lined Up, My Spine and Feel- ers.

The eight-piece band was ex- tremely tight due, greatly in part, to the super-chunky backbeat pro- vided by bassist Dave Allen and drummer Martyn Barker who lived up to Andrews’ claims that they are “the best fucking rhythm section” in music.

The lack of any opening act and the $17 dollar ticket price made the evening seem too short despite the enthusiasm of the band. Still, for a brief time, Shriekback could not help but entrance the Concert Hall by revealing to the audience the strange mystical world that exists in the head of Barry Andrews.

‘Images In Vogue

Call It . by Charles Mak Imprint staff

Alternative popsters Images in Vogue pulled into .Fed Hall once again, last Friday night, playing a sold out show in front of a most ‘conspicuous looking crowd. It may have been Hallowe’en time, but I’m sure- that Dale Martindale, lead sin- ger for the band, took the frivously dressed crowd as being rather flip- pant. His casual mutterings and ap- parent indifference to the audience must have been a reflection of his disdain at the eclectic colours and styles of costumes in front of him.

Absent from the band were Ed Shaw and Glenn Watson, both of whom left the band due to musical differences. Martindale told me they wanted to turn the band into an ‘Idle Eyes’, something the other band

their new album Big Night Music, stopped off in Toronto to play to a sold-out Concert Hall. In

l l Dull members obviously couldn’t accept. As Joe Vizvary, keyboarist for the band, said: “We’re an alternative that does not subscibe to the cliches of business and music.”

Images in Vogue replaced the de- parted duo with only one person, Tim Welch, a guitarist with a rather sleazy looking aura and an incredi- bly raunchy playing style

The band brought with them a lot of new material that has yet to be released on vinyl. The new stuff de- parted from the bands particular synth approach by relying on new man Tim “the tart” Welch’s grinding guitar rifts. His style drowned out the synth washes to the detriment of the band’s synthesized integrity.

continued on page 16

Welch doesn’t subscribe to the cliches of Suzy Shier.

their five years of existence, they have moved from the amoebic thump of Tenth to the dinosaur bump of Lined Up and My Spine to the reptile whun@ of Oil and Gold, their last album. This time around, Shriekback are without Carl Marsh who left before the Big Night Music was made. He along with Barry Andrews, wrote most of Shriekbacks’ songs.

Imprint got the chance to talk to David Allen, bass player and one of Shriekback’s founding members.

Imprint: So, why did Carl Marsh leave the band? I.

David Allen: I think that he just wanted to do something on his own. Simple as that. He wasn’t too happy working with us at the time. He felt that he could do something different, though no- thing seems to have happened. Maybe he’s decided that he doesn’t want to do anything - I don’t know.

Imprint: Has his departure changed the sound of the band, or is Shriekback still pretty much the same entity?

D.A.: Have you heard the new album?

Imprint: Yeah. D.A.: Well, think overall what

you hear on the album is the new sound, without Carl. The sound is more complete - more of a one sound than we had before. When we had Barry and Carl both writing songs, there were two slightly different styles and it was awkward mixing them together when it came time to put an album together. Now, with Barry as the principal writer, there’s a very unified sound to it.

Imprint: Do you think having a more unified sound will help you out in the long run?

D.A.: I think Shriekback does require a limited area to work in, and, as you say, this way people can say “right, that’s what they do.” We still want to be exciting and different, but you need a certain cohesion to allow people to get through the door, as it were.

Imprint: Now for a bit of ancient history. What hap-

pened with Y Records (Shriek- back’s first record company). How did it come to break up and how did Shriekback come to leave it?

D.A.: It was pretty simple really. Y Records weretrying to break Shriekback in Britain and get Lined Up into the Top 40. And, to do that, you have to invest a lot of money. They just over-stretched their resources. They had to bail themselves out with a licensing deal with Arista Records. Under that deal, if anything ever hap- pened between us ahd Y, we had to go to Arista. So Y just ran out of money and we were stuck with Arista. But we’ve actually man- aged to escape that deal and we’re signed to Island worldwide now.

Imprint: You used the word “stuck”, were there some bad things about being signed to Arista?-

D.A.! Well, they just didn’t ’ know how to deal with, the band at all. What we were used to with Y was a one-to-one relationship with the president, Dick O’Dell - he did everything at the record company and knew what we were about. Whereas with Arista, it was a big company that wanted Top- 40 hits and.nothing else.

Imprint: Do you think that being with Island, who have lot of experience dealing with non- chart music like Reggae and Go-Go, is good for Shriek- back?

D.A.: Oh yeah, Island are the perfect company for Shriekback.

What things do and don’t you like about the British music scene at the moment?

D.A.: At the moment, I com- plain bitterly. I live in London so you’d think that this is the place to be for music, but there’s literally nothing happening, so it’s really disappointing.

Imprint: Did you encounter _ much of a music scene in Australia and New Zealand when you played there. It seems like there’s a lot of stuff going on but it’s hard to find out because it’s so far away.

D.A.: Again, I had a problem

there. In Sydney, I was expecting to hear a lot of good, music. I’ve got a friend there, Lyndon Barber, who used to write for Melody Maker. I went to his house, had dinner and said “right Lyndon, let’s go and see these bands”. He was just as disheartened as I am - there’s nothing going on there either. There is a lot of revitalizing of old stuff like the psychedelic scene - everyone’s taking acid - but there’s something not quite right.

There was one band however, who played with us in Auckland, New Zealand called. the Car Crash Set and they were good. They’ve been doing some recording in London so there should be some- thing out by them. I’d check them out.

Imprint: What kinds of things can you see happening to Shriekback in the future. Do you have a direction in mind or are you just going to let the changes happen as they may?

D.A.: I think that the next album will probably be another depar- ture. Most likely, it will emphasize the harder sound of the band. There’ll probably be some really hard, upbeat, over-the-top dance songs. Yeah, I think we want to do something loud and noisy now. So, look for that early next year.

Have you gotten into Go-Go much because it seems like everyone I talk to from Eng- land is into it now. I

D.A.: Hey! This is my chance to drop names now . ‘. .

Imprint: Come on, who are you hanging around with?

D.A.: This is years ago actu- (ally. About five years ago, when Y records just started, we ‘were sent the tapes of . Trouble funk’s original Drop

The Bomb 12”. We weren’t able to buy it, but we were trying to license it. This was years ago and now it’s the big thing, so we’re all smug saying “I told you so” and all that.

Imprint: That’s neat! Anyway, thanks for talking to us and good luck on the tour.

D.A.: Yeah, thanks a lot. See I w.

Baseball Banter W.P. Kinsella speaks

I Chris Wodskou rprint Staff Canadian literature is somewhat torious for its unfunniness and edgy propriety in the wake of our .O. Mitchells and Frederick Phil- Groves. And when it does try to humourous, it often seems over-

relmed by the ghost of Steven bacock or, like so much of today’s zrature, it draws on sheer ribaldry td sexual misadventures for its lghs. Things have changed drastically, bwever, in recent years and W.P. nsella has been at the forefront of is new direction. Dipping into the :h pool of magic realism, Kinsella, 10 read at St. Jerome’s last week, pites some of today’s most side- blitting fiction with an imagination at can unerringly find hilarious ab- lrdity in the most mundane of ev- yday situations. Kinsella read first from The Alli-

rtor Report, due to be released I Collins this January. If the story lout an unsuspecting man who ob- ins employment just driving an un- ned and de-mufflered motorcycle ound a four-block area all night. )on’t you have a motorcycle drive *ound your neighbourhood all ght without a muffler?” the prop- ztor asks. “Well, you don’t think iat’s just accidental, do you?’ Reading also from a brilliant ex-

!rpt of The Thrill of the Grass, le of a series of books about base- 311 that has established his reputa- 3r-i as a first-rate humourist and 3seball folklorist, in which a shy lidwestern farm boy earns a spot 7 The New York Giants and con- zrses with such idols as Alvin Dark I Latin, Kinsella finished with part F his just-released The Fence- ost Chronicles. The story deals ith two of Kinsella’s other favorite objects, Canadian Indians and reli- on. A great satire on French-Can- dian culture and its two religions Catholicism and hockey), the story evolves’ his recurring characters, rank and Silas, two prairie Indians, iking a patched-together hockey :am to a French’community where bishop blesses a box of pucks and prinkles holy water in the goal

crease before the game. Throughout the reading, Kinsella

brought the stories a vitality and added humour by playing all the characters with different voices and even adding implied vocal inflec- tions in the narration. His deadpan recounting of thoroughly bizarre events and people only served to make the stories funnier yet. It’s un-

usual that a literary reading will leave an audience wiping tears of mirth from their faces afterward.

A question-and-answer. session followed the reading: Imprint: What led to your obses- sion with baseball? Kinsella: It all sort of happened after the fact. I guess i\t’s the “implied au- thor syndrome” - I wrote a couple of baseball stories and suddenly I became an expert. I urn a baseball fan, but I’m not quite as fanatical as my characters. It was kind of like poetry writing the beginning of Shoeless Joe (Kinsella’s multi- award-winning novel); it was a sort of homage to baseball. Does it have something to do with baseball being such an im- portant part of North American culture? Definitely. It’s part of the ritual of growing up. I think that’s what at- tracted me to Sallinger - Catcher in the Rye is the quintessential book of growing up male in North America. But baseball is also more conducive to fiction than other sports. Baseball has no time limit ’ and no limit to the field theoretically. All you have are two-foul lines that go on forever and I think this makes for a mythology and larger than life characters within baseball. Some- one like Wayne Gretzky may be a great athlete, but he’s still limited by the smallness of a hockey rink. Did this lead to the more magical qualities of The Iowa Baseball Confederacy (his last novel, about a ball game that lasted 40, days and nights)? . Yeah, it’s the same genre as Shoe- less Joe except that it has more magE and a darker magic than Shoeless Joe which was all sweet- ness and light. I guess I should learn from that. The’ Iowa Baseball

Confederacy sold comparably well, but the reaction has been near- ly the same. Does it bother you at all that so much of your-reputation has been based on your baseball sto- ries? Not at all. I have definite fans of both genres, baseball and Indian, al- though I find that those who read the baseball stories tend to be more literate and discover my Indian sto- ries and like them whereas people who read my Indian stories seem to be more interested just in them. Strangely enough,. I am the most stolen author in the country from libraries. I guess they just do what they figure Frank and Silas would do. I’ve even had books stolen from classrooms. Why are you so interested about Canadian Indians? I write about a generically op- pressed minority -which just happens to be the Indian and the way the oppressed minority sur- vives which is by making fun of the oppressors. My humour comes from targeting people who have no sense of humour: politicians, reli- gion, and academics. The only prob- lem is that they’re such easy targets that you have to be careful not to go overboard. What do Indians think of your stories? They haven’t caught as much flak as I thought they might. Some Indian schools study the books and the stu- dents say they get a kick out of char- acters like Frank and Silas putting one over on the white man. One last question - this past World Series was a real comedy of errors. Do you think you could write a book about that? Well, you know truth is always stranger than fiction. If I were to write the managers, for example, just as they were in the World Ser- ies, everyone would say, “Nobody’s that dumb.” If I were the players, I wouldn’t give the managers any share of the money. It was the worst managed World Series ever; the way they handled the pitchers was just ridiculous. Definitely stranger than fiction.

Moving Photos / by lngrid Mattson question the essentially voyeuristic

nature of photography, especially fi- gurative photography. In using her- self as subject, Lake may be seen as rejecting the traditional role of the artist as manipulator of others by appropriating their image.

Suzy Lake, a Toronto artist, will be visiting the University of Water- loo on November 21 as part of the Fine Art Department’s Canada Council sponsored “Visiting Artist” series.

Lake, who works in mixed-media photography is well known for pie,- ces in which she uses herself - her blurred, obscured, and bound self - as subject. Her 1977 show at the Art Gallery of Ontario entitled “im- POSITIONS” included a series of blurred images of the artist, bound and struggling at the end of a corri- dor of storage lockers. The photo- graphs were placed on either side of the gallery so that the viewer had the uneasy feeling of being a helpless observer to a violent situation. This work, and other similar series in the AGO show forced- the viewer to

In a more recent show at the Gal- erie John A. Schweitzer in Mont- real, Lake’s images had grown to life-size. Starkly aggressive black and white photographs of the artist attacking her shadow with a sledge- hammer were repeated on one wall. Lake makes, the viewer question the ability of the static medium of photo- graphy to relay the real violence of a situation.

All are invited to listen to Suzy Lake speak about her work on No- vember 21 at 2 p.m. in Room 175 of the Environmental Studies II build- ing.

“To have a hangman who is also a friend . . . is a consolation.”

A Pole is told this when he agrees to hang another Pole who has had an illicit affair with a German woman during WWII. The Pole must die be- cause the Nazis have prohibited fraternizing between Germans and prisoners of, war, warning of the dangers of “mixed breeding.” This is a theme pursued by Polish director Andrzej Wajda in the 1983 film A Love In Germany, fourth of the In- ternational Films series being screened on campus this year.

Paulina Kropp (Hanna Schygulla) is a single, oversexed mother who runs a small shop in a German vil- lage while her husband fights at the front in 1941. She meets Stanislaw

L3d da, a Polish forced-labourer, and instantly an erotic rapport de- velops between them. They can’t keep away from each other. Her friend tells her that the affair is ille- gal, contradicting a Nazi order, and

letter she’s written to him. His pe- nalty is death.

These are the events discovered by her son 42 years later. The story is told through an interwoven series of flashbacks from the past with scenes of the grown up son trying to find out what happened to his mother.

The most striking thing about the film is the lust between Kropp and Zasada. Schygulla uses subtle idio- syncratic nuances to convey her need for physical contact. She opens her mouth and lets her tongue make open invitations. She grits her teeth in restraint. When the two make love, it is often while they are partially clothed, showing the ur- gency of their need.

NO matter how systematized the controls placed upon the human machine become, there will always be moments of rebellion. Or rather, Love, as does Art, thrives under op- pression.

Images In Vogue This new style in sound has also come about because the band has not found a replacement keyboard- ist. Working with two instead of three keyboardists certainly changes things. As a result Images in Vogue have had to compromise their synthesized approach.

Fortunately, “the tart” didn’t butcher the bld stuff like Lust for Love, In the House, and Call it Love. However great or not so great the new stuff may have been at the show, it was the old stuff that really got the dance crowd going.

KlTcHENER5 NEWEST

by Tim Walker Imprint staff

I travelled to Toronto October 30 *to take in a show headlined by The Pursuit of Happiness (TPOH) at Larry’s. Also on the bill were Redline and the Dancing Counts. After find- ing out that the guest list was not in order my two companions and I forked out the three bucks neces- sary to get in - the money was well spent.

The first band out was the Danc- ing Counts. The band’s hard driving style was much appreciated by the small partisan crowd. To appreciate the band’s appearance you have to imagine a sixties psychedelic band fronted by Adam Ant. The band played through a set of loud but un- recognizable songs except for a very modernized version oflncense and Peppermint.

The next band, Redlife, continued the assault on our ears. Their music was a complete switch from the pre- vious band. The band reminded me most of a speeded up version of The Smiths. The lead vocalist, who often assumed the prayer. position on stage, had the same sort of flat sound and limited range as Morri- sey. This singer, however, obviously distressed at sounding like the aforementioned “singer” continu- ally yelled at the soundman to reset his equipment., Maybe The Smiths should change their soundcrew as well.

Although I liked the Dancing Counts better than Redlife, I was voted down 2-l by my photographer and my alu_mni input. It was agreed, however, that both bands were worth the price of admission on their own.

After a much appreciated quiet break, TPOH took the stage. Imme- diately we were taken by the an- drogynous appearance of the lead singer. His thrashing about on stage soon brought our doubts to a con- clusive end. By now the bar was full of appreciative fans and a lot of mid- aged fat men trying to impress their much younger dates with their “cur- rentness”. The set immediately caught the audience’s attention with a song whose chorus exhorted an unspecified person to do something to a certain bit of a specified male’s body if person one continued to show a bad attitude. The show got even better. It climaxed with the band’s big song I’m an Adult Now. Unfortunately, the band finished up with two @#$#@$ songs sung by their two back up singers/go-go girls.

TPOH’s stage show needs some polishing. For instance, they have to get rid of their back up singers. The girls are g6od singers but they are

holding their lead singer back. Also the bassist should start to move about on stage a bit. If he hadn’t stumbled a couple of times the cor- oner would have been called. Only their lead singer magnetic stage presence is not in need of any work.

TPOH is a new band out of To- ronto headed up by Moe Berg, the vocalist and guitarist. Johnny Sin- clair and Dave Gilby are on bass and percussion respectfully. The go-go twins are Tam and Tasha Amabile, which according to my Italian au- thority means loveable. They’ may indeed be loveable but we felt they were cramping the band’? style.

@#!$#@$ songs which were encore covers). The lyrical content is su- perb and sarcastically relevant. It is hard to compare the band to anyone else as they are pretty much their own band and have yet to sell out. They are worth seeing if only to ex- pose yourself to something new.

Musically the band is not very pol- ished but they retain a very ener- getic sound and Moe Berg’s guitar playing is inspired to say the least. A big plus for the band is that they play all their own material for the com- plete show (except for the two

The Pursuit of Happiness’s first . effort on vinyl should be out soon as Imprint has received a promotional copy. The two song 12” single is a respectable effort. The A side is I’m an Adult Now and the B side is She’s So Young. The A side is by far the better of the two. It has much to recommend it. The beat is dancea- ble and the guitar is intriguing. The second song is okay but has no characteristics to lift it above the ordinary. The single is entitled The Pursuit Of Happiness and is on an independent label.

‘Tops of pop by Paul Done and Tim Perlich Imprint staff

There were only about 50 tickets sold for The Woodentops show last Saturday in Toronto. However the fact that all the pre-show advertising - including the marquee at The El Mocambo - listed them as “Wooden Top’: might have adver- sely affected the ticket sales. Con- sidering the measly ticket sales, the El MO seemed remarkably full - could it have been the nutty-show- biz-sized guest list? When asked if he was aware of this.fact,,gnomish* :r; .lead singer Rolo McGinty smiled /wryly: yes I’ve’ heard. We don’t mind really, we were expecting to play for about 10 people, We prefer to play for people who have no’idea who we are, winning them over is all the more satisfying. Judging from the number of hipsters mou- thing the words to the songs, very few of these crazy, free-admittance, showbiz types had any idea who ‘The Woodentops were.,

The newfound mellowness which showed up on Giant, their recent debut album, was abandoned for the mutant rockabilly of their first singles: Plenty, Moue Me and Well, Well, Well. Since the departurer of their first drummer, Paul Hookham, and the addition of New Zealand madman Benny Staples, a harder rhythmic edge has emerged in the music giving it a whole new dimen- sion of drive. Reflecting on Paul’s departure, Rolo says I think he left

because he was looking for some- thing a little more definite, more se- cure because, at the time, we really had no idea what we were going to do. Z think that he was surprised when he found out that The Reds- kins were the same way.

Some credit for the tougher bot- tom end must also .go to bassist Frank DeFreitas who, despite the blow to his credibility caused by using a pick, helps keep the groove jumping. Benny claimed that the groove would have been even tigh- ter had they not sucked back large .quantities of &oh@ .hefore the show . . . Yeah, we can really iden- tifv with the Pogues’ approach to performing.

The Woodentops melodic uniqu- eness hasn’t been sacrificed at the altar of beat, either - Rolo’s wond- erfully catchy melodies are still there - when he’s not crouched on the floor shouting. Though - Rolo’s manic, grinning self doesn’t really need any help in keeping the front part of the stage lively, sometimes, when he’s dancing with the crowd or sharing a bottle of wine with them, it might be nice to have someone there to help with the melody - that’s where Simon Mawby (feed- back guitar) and Alice Thompson (Ice Queen and Casio 201 player) help out. Simon has the strength of body to maintain warp-speed rhythm guitar for the whole show while Alice (bless her ’60s Go-Go boots) is more than adornment . . . No. Really.

Rolo is a benevolent Elf King to his band members: he writes the music, the lyrics, recommended that Alice move up from the “gritty” (so sayeth Alice) Casio 101 to the modern Casio 201- he even offered to lend Benny the hubcaps from his dad’s car to bash on (well, he would if his dad let him). He does all this with a kiss on the hand and an impish grin making it all seem ordained ,by Santa.

Rolo wasn’t always Elf King how- ever, once upon a time he too slaved away making presents while moon- lighting as bass player for Liverpool recording legends The Wild Swans. Reflecting from his throne on past glories, thus spake Rolo: I wasn’t with The Wild Swans for too long really, just for some demos, The Re- volutionary Spirit record and a tour. Songwriting wasn’t really part of my involvement - Z had a bit to do with the B-Side of the record, but not the singing. Z didn’t really like the idea of just playing bass. So he left to begin his new adventure - enchanted sword on his hip and potion of forget in his sack.

Ikons in your livingroom by Neil Swanson and Kerry Brock

The only thing better than listen- ing to the Ikons in my livingroom is listening to the Ikons in the Cabana Room. The Cabana Room is ‘a homey, not unlike my livingroom (same paneling) atop the Spadina hotel in Toronto and the Ikons are one of the best bands in the world of Toronto’s hip, eclectic, totally cool music scene.

They take the stage as their calm, cool, reserved selves (John Critch- ley singer/guitarist, Mike Robbins guitar, Jim Hughes bass, Grant Ether drums) and belt out two full sets of solid originals with the minor exception of two qld, unrecogniza- ble country‘ditties thrown in at the

Good use of dynamics makes them a bit hard to dance to but great to listen to. I’m convinced that, if they could find themselves an inde- pendent label to provide ssmedistri- bution, they would really catch ‘on.

But until then, for your living

With these two tapes under their belts it is only a matter of time before these Ikons create some groovy Ico- noclastic plastic. Let’s hope it happens soon.(They would be the perfect band to open for Billy Bragg on the 29th.)

continued from page 16 r More Woodentops

The show itself was a raucous af- fair complete with flailing bodies on the dancefloor and calculated mad- ness on stage. Even the beret-ed hepcats (. . . they looked like they should have been wearing berets) got excited enough to clap (loudly) and shout (not too loudly) -

‘enough ribaldry to encourage The Woodentops to play two encores. The second encore contained two unexpected gifts from Rolo’s sack Steady, Steady and Do It Anyway, the two B-Sides from Moue Me. Both are played live very rarely and were performed on this occasion at the bequest ,of a Nerve reporter who wishes to remain anonymous

(Rick McGinnis).

The Woodentops have gained a certain infamy in England due to a bomb threat they made in jest to The Smiths, who are also on Rough Trade Records. Poor Morrissey, ve- nomous in the realization that his fear and fainting had been for nought, took to call&g The Woo- dentops “The Sudden Flops”. King Rolo described his current relations with the Smiths: Z’m really good friends with Andy Rourke, the bas- sist, and Ilike Johnny Marr because he seems to be CJ nice bloke, but Isn not too sure about the singer.

The Woodentops are magnifi-

cently mad, joyous experience. With the except’ion of the Grinchily swirling Steady, Steady, their songs were a distillation of the happiness of opening presents. When we left Rolo was jumping about nervously on the tips of his toes, Benny and Frank were shouting the virtues of Trouble Funk and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice was sitting down demurely next to the bored- looking shopping mall chick grou- pies and Simon, little Simon was nowhere to be seen - off making presents I suppose.

And they all lived.‘.happily ever after.

David Byrne’s Talking film by Jeffery Preyra imprint staff

The world is a strange place. It produces people so odd that they could only have sprung from the pages of a supermarket tabloid. Well look out! Here they come land- ing fully grown onto the treeless plain of Virgil, Texas.

David Byrne, writer and singer of the band Talking Heads, and now’ co-writer, and narrator of the movie True Stories has assembled the od- dest compendium of characters that ever populated a movie screen.

These characters include Louis cyne (John Goodman) who is look- ing for a wife. His search methods include flashing signs and television ads. We have the Lazy Woman (Swoosie Kurtz) who.has so much money, she can afford to stay in bed. all day long. We have Civic Leader brl Culver (Spalding Gray) who uses lobster and vegetables to dem-

onstrate a point about economics and mobility. There are others in- cluding a voodoo priest, a chronic liar and a security,guard who spon- taneously breaks out in song on a lonely stage in the middle of the dar- kening Texas plain.

Among the odd characters is the narrator himself. Wild-eyed and just out of phase with his environment, he shifts in to talk to the characters and, turning around to address the audience, suddenly. joins the ob- server and the observed. Surround- ing all this is the landscape. Coming on like a CanLit experience, it is huge and the tiny characters are pulled into sharp focus by the hazy sun and the big blue sky.

The focus of the town is the local mall; clean, bright and-with ample parking, it is where the characters go to meet. One of the incidents in the mall brought the movie into sharp focus. It wasn’t the fashion

show featuring grass and masonry clothing. It was the two boys, them- selves part of the movie, laughing uproariously at the tabloid they were reading. Here again it seems that Byrne makes the viewers, laughing at the movie a direct part of the action. You can laugh at this movie just like laughing at a video of the National Enquirer. Still, you can’t laugh out loud at everything. There are undertones here, &out small town life, about attitude and about morality and religion (The Vir- gilians make it up as they go.)

This is an odd movie in the same way that Talking Heads are an odd band. If you like their music, if you have an interest in architecture, fa- shion or the social impact of shop- ping malls then go see this movie. Personally I liked it, especially the lip-synch competition with no less than two people doing spastic imita- tions qf Byrne himself.

The primary strength of Billy Bragg’s songwriting is his ability to, consistently transcend the limita- tions of language in conveying pa- thos and emotion. The combination of his masterful prose and the sim- ple, sympathetic .music in which he presents them gives his songs of romance directness and poignancy unequalled in popular music. He never stobps to callous, cruel mod- ern romantic myth or cliche - myth and cliche which causes so much heartbreak among those duped into believing it by modern culture.

The other side of Billy Bragg’s writing is the vitriolic social com- ment. With pointed question and even sharper observation, he uses his guitar as a shield and his words as a broadsword, slashing through

. falsehood and hypocrisy. Yet some- how, preaching from his soapbox, Billy Bragg never gives the impres- sion of talking down to the listeners, he seems as warm as when he’s writ- ing about teenage romance.’

On Talking With The Taxman About Poetry, the two sides come together in musical setting which, while more com&ex than his habit- ual guitar and voice assault, doesn’t betray the essential simplicity which lies at the core of his songs. Using various combinations of guitar, bass, violin, trumpet, organ, back-

Billy Bragg takes time out from a busy tour schedule to cash in on some door-to-door snow shovel sales.

ing vocals and even mandolin, Billy Bragg has found a near-perfect bal- ance between acceptability for mainstream pop audiences and for the people who are already his fans.

In this album-sized bag of dia- monds, some shine brighter than others, like Greetings To the New Brunette, on which The Smiths’ Johnny Mat-r chips in some deft gui- tar work. Singing to Shirley, the new brunette, Billy captures the irony and confusion his new-found love for the girl who’s his reason to get out of bed before noon”.

In Marriage, which is by now about one and a half years old, a

young man’s dissatisfaction with the Despite it all, she is hurts, more to notion of marrying his girl is cap- see him walking out the door. As the tured in a classic Braggish couplet: song finishes, Billy slings his guitar Love is just a moment of giving over his shoulder and walks into-the and marriage is when we admit our night to a swirl of muted trumpet parents were right. and conga drum . . . ahhhh.

There are female heroes, too - like the girl in Levi Stubbs’ Tears who was married before she was even entitled to vote to a the kind of man that only laughs at his own

jokes. At the climax, voice choked with pathos, Billy describes how this bastard came home from the sea and put a hole in her body, where no hole should be.

Like thegreat soul vocalists, Billy Bragg’s vocal power comes from not only what he does, but just as importantly, what he doesn’t do. He never goes over the top into melo- drama or cliche. His feel for under- statement and his right-on timing more than make up for -what he lacks in raw vocal ability. Some- times words spoken softly cut deep- est of \all.

Talking With The Taxman closes out with its masterpiece, The Home Front. A simple arrangement of trumpet and guitar envelops what is possibly Bragg’s finest lyric to date. In this Holy of Holies, the Home not all is happy - violence, loneliness, futility and psychic numbness tear at the facade which begins to fade like posters peeling form a wall. We are paralysed by that cruelest of all psychological dis- eases, Nostalgia - which has re- placed religion as the opium of the age. We are clock watchers, all of us - counting down to what? Death? War? - that’ s up to the listener to guess. As the song segues into a hymn at its conclusion Billy Bragg begins the first verse again, hinting at a sense of futility not seen before in his writing.

Talking With The Taxman About Poetry is a masterful display of prosaic poignancy and direct- ness. Billy Bragg creates vignettes of immense force and sincerity which cannot even be hinted at in the ram- blings of a second-rate reviewer. Talking With The Taxman pos- sesses a life-affirming power which only a fraction of a percent of music ever achieves.

by Pete Lawson Imprint staff

Oh wow! To be subdued to sit and listen to a record is a strong compli- ment for any record. The irony that the music on GPR Live in Session is not the overwhelming force, be- cause the technical sound of this digital pressing overshadows the music, leaves tepid feelings for the music but a thirst for future releases of equal technical quality from GRP Records.

Rarely is the technical informa- tion on an album sleeve noteworthy, but when an album delivers such brilliant sound reproduction a men- tion is in order. Recorded on a Sony PCM3324 Digital Recorder and mixed’ to the JVC DAS900 Digital Audio Mastering System, the sound is riveting and provides the example why JVC (through their JVC Jazz Festival 85) and GRP Records con-l netted to highlight their technical expertise.

The group hailed as the GPR All- Stars consisted of Lee Ritenour (gui- tar), Dave Grusin (keyboards), Dave Valentin (flute), Diane Schuur (vocal), Carlos Vega (drums), Abra- ham Laboriel (bass), and Larry Willi- ams (keyborads and sax) during the JVC Jazz- Festival 85. The main players in this musical unit are Lee R&our, a popular pop-jazz guita- rist and session man, and Dave

Imagine The Cramps if Poison Ivy could play more than three chords. Or imagine a gonzo Eddie Cochran with a bad case of hormones. Failing that, imagine The Raunch Hands, a ragged rockabilly band from New York with incredibly bad taste who come from the old school - where men are men and the women (or any other biped for that matter) are ner-

Ray Condo on the independent Pipeline Records label.

The music has a solid base of hop- \ ping country, rockabilly, surf, and boogie-blues with a squeeze of hum- our yhich at times is reminiscent of the early Cramps. The approach of lots of howlin’ and a little croonin’ is supported by slap bass fiddle, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, fiddle, and drums.

The craziness jumps in with Greenback Dollar and then swings with a rockabilly legend Carl Per- kins with his Your True Love. Yeah hooo is the reaction for the honky- tonkin’ Freight Train which sings of riding the train home after breaking jail.

Grusin, a celebrated composer of movie and TV music.

This Hollywood focus is the prob- lem for this record; the inclusion of the theme from St. Elsewhere (a Dave Grusin composition) is inap- propriate outside prime time. The opening cut,‘Mountain Dance com- posed by Dave Grusin, was used as the theme music for Falling in Lowe staring Meryl Streep and Robert De- Niro, and despite a pretty main theme, the music feels like back- ground music.

A low point of this album -con- cludes the first side; The Rit Vuria- tions is a rock-jazz which is reminiscent of the worst that “pro- gressive-rock” had to offer in the mid ’70s. The guitar is dominant from Lee Ritenour who fails on this aggressive number (he is renowned for his soft pop-jazz).

The other cuts fair better. Oasis has an undercurrent of Latin swing, with bold flute by Dave Valentin, Reverend Lee receives a soulful blast from vocalist Diane Schuur who possesses a boss sound, and Rio Funk is a guitar funky number which shifts from a hip buster (needs a squeeze more bass) to a more subdued swing. The album’s best, Dolphin Dream Lee Ritenour’s tune, has a long melody line played by Larry Williams on tenor sax.

All of the music, those that offend and those that please, are oversha- dowed by the technical sound of this pressing. Future albums of equal quality would be of interest, but GRP Liue in Session will not float to the top of a record collection.

While cruising Park Ave.- (Mont- , real neon Greek strip), the middle east harmonies of Sk& Bop Baby would augment the atmosphere, and the albums title track, Crazy Date, takes a warped surf ap- proac h.

A pumped up version of Willing and Ready, a late ’50s Sun Records hopper by Ray Smith, borders on the manic. From an up tempo coun- try-tonk, Jolie Ti Catin, to Who’s Baby Are You/ Oh &Iby which pro- gresses (or digresses) from a froIic k- ing swinger to a howlin’ boogie-blues, and then to Push But- ton Boogie with a bass slap that could help throw a disc, Ray and the Goners bang out some infectious strut before finishing with the only crooning number, Pot ketful of Rainbows.

The album kicks out a good time approach to classic rock ‘n’ roll ac- companied by an undercurrent of distorted humour. For those souls who feel their love for rock ‘n’ roll is being ignored at Fed Hall, ask for Ray Condo and the Hardrock Gon- ers because these cats state the past but are vital for the present.

Based upon the number of deeeep middle-class white kids who came out to see their concerts on their last tour, Love and Rockets have guessed that there’s still proba- bly a few bucks to be milked out of that moniker. Danny, Davey and Kevvy boy have managed to put the bottle away for long enough to re- cord an album and do a tour to pro- mote it, though the second might not be true - case in point Daniel Ash’s two bottles of Tequila binge which led to the cancellation of two shows: Cambridge and Hamilton). Though judging a book by it’s cover is an extremely unreliable way of reviewing an album, the cover and included poster, in all their pristine, half-assed, ’60s ripoff pretension, re- present the contents of the album perfectly.

vous. They play poker-hot rock ‘n’ roll that makes you wanna do do- nuts in your pit kup, burn down your barn, and puke on your neighbour’s dog.

If you were privileged enough to see them on their tour this spring, you know what to expect from this album. Whacked-out, wild, and de- wanged, Learn To Whap-A-Gang With The Raunch Hands is the sordid progeny of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins at a swamp gas-snorting party with The Cramps’ Cornfed Dames. Vocalist Chandler whoops and hollers like he just sat on a bee- hive and blows his harp recklessly through songs like Chicken Scratch and Kangaroo Juice and Chicken of the Sea.

This time, on Express, the L’n’R boys have let Daniel Ash go wild with some Bahaus heavy-metal gui- tar theatrics on It Could Be Sun- shine and Kundalini Express. Over to you Kerrang: If we’re gonna talk guitar heroes, then it’s only right that we toss one Danny Ash in as a main contender. Hey a “Fucken A” review from the bible of Heavy Metal, the album can’t be all bad . . . Thinking about it though, it’s a stroke of marketing genius, more than Billy Idol was ever capable of, Love and Rockets now attract both headbangers and the dyed-black hair “alternative” dregs.

The rest of the album sees the boys mining that same golden lode of acoustic, ethereal, tepid neo-psy-

chedelic crap which populated Sev- enth Dream of A Teenage Heaven. The exception and the best song of the lot is Yin and Yang The Flowerpot Men, a Bo Diddley- /rockabilly rave-up which is interest- ing for . . . oh . . . at least a minute. Though really, it’s only good in com- parison to the rest of the garbage on this album. *-

Daniel Ash: Well after 18 straight months of work, I wish we could stop. I think it’s about time we were millionaires.

. . . and I think that you should all go out and buy this album so that poor Danny can stop working and, thus, won’t be forced to foist shit albums like this on the public!

Complete with dance instructions by one Tony “Daddy Sex” Gio- vanni, Learn To Whap-A-Dang is a super-octane, 40-minute brain- broiler of an album, insane rock, rockabilly-ska (definitely for lack of a better term), and some amazing guitar by Mariconda that would make The Stray Cats’ Brian Setzer trash his guitar in sheer frustration.

Say what you want about rock ‘n’ roll, but the party’s happening right here.

L’etranger are a band that have always seemed to hurdle through their music three steps at a time, punctuating each phrase with an ex- clamation mark. The four songs on found on their latest E.P. Sticks And Stones (and rumoured to be their final release as L’etranger) is no exception.

The first song Time and Place brings to mind the Alarm in its an- themic nature. Unfortunately it also stumbles with the Alarm’s ham- fisted melodrama letting slip nearly all of the warmth of Andrew Cash’s most personal composition he’s yet written.

Trail of Tears shows Cash still hasn’t totally shaken the Clash shadow hanging over him with a Strummerish reference to “coca- cola”, yet if we look at the stats, no one could outdo Cash’s allusion : word ratio.

Listening to the Pushtwangers LP Here We Go Again, you’d never know that these guys were from Sweden. No grisly accents or strange mispronunciations, just 40 or so minutes of skull-screamin’ rock ‘n’ roar and more. The Pushtwangers also incorporate a horn section and strings into their snarling mix for a sound as unconventional as it is groovy.

Coming from Sweden does have its advantages in that influences from other countries can be heard and absorbed yet they can remain isolated enough to avoid becoming American or English recording and mixing ’ conventions. Thus, as you might guess, this allows for some very unique productions. It becomes immediately apparent upon hearing the string arrangements for Alice, Fire In Vein, and Ticket To Paradise and the piano runs that crop up throughout Treatin’ Me So Bad. r>

Rugby elimination by Mike Brown Imprint staff

The Warrior’s rugby successes and failures have been recorded on the Imprint’s sports page w,ith a whole slew of headlines this year: Warriors Rugby defeats Queen’s in home opener; UW Rugby team grabs lead in OUAA standings; Rugby Warriors win; Rugby Warriors lose second game to Mac; Warriors rugby, keep playoff hopes alive with

- York win; and, Rugby season ends in s-way tie, team enters semi-final playoffs.

After seeing an exciting trend of success develop for the War- riors over the season, it is this final headline of the year that makes ‘a definite break from the accustomed winning trend. In a

- loss disappointing to the players and fans alike, the Warriors were eliminated from contention for the OUAA championships in semi-final action last weekend.

Waterloo went down in defeat at the hands of the Queen’s Gaels by a- score of 17-6.

Before the game, the atmos- phere in the Warrior change room was mixed. Coach Mark Harper (1985/86 OUAA coach of the year) told the team he knew they were capable of being the best in the league. Just prior to kickoff the general attitude was intense; the team was psyched for the game.

During the first few minutes of the game both teams had ex- changed blows. Waterloo and Queen’s both clearly wanted to dominate each other. Queen’s was first to gain ground with an early try. A grubbed kick down the sideline-found its way into the Warrior try zone. In a strug- gle to clear the ball from ‘Water- loo territory a Queen’s player was able to smother the ball for the try while some frustrated Warriors looked on.

Still behind Queen’s at the be- ginning of the second half, the Warriors were further frustrated after the Gaels robbed Waterloo of another try. This time a Queen’s player snatched the ball from the Warrior’s strum half who was attempting to clear the ball out of the Waterloo try zone once again.

With Queen’s converting the

half the Warriors finally found room to run the ball in for their first try. Mark Schneider broke away from the Queen’s pat and found Hayden Belgrave who ran the ball up the field until inside center Tony Stea took the passed ball in for a well earned score.

Counting Paul Toon’s conver- sion the score was Queen’s 10, Waterloo 6.

With the prospect of elimina- tion, the Warriors put forthan all out effort. The Warriors big chance was thwarted when they were-inches from the Queen’s try line advancing the ball with a ten man strum. Four points seemed inevitable but the referee’s whis- tle sounded as the Queen’s side collapsed the strum rendering the Warriors scoreless in their attempt. \

Late in the second half, Queen’s capitalized on a call against Waterloo with a three- point penalty kick.

The Warriors kept their charge going.but it was apparent that the loss of 10 veterans fromlast year’s team was one factor in Waterloo’s elimination at the se- mi-final level.

Despite the Warriors last min- ute efforts, Queen’s scored one more try by running the ball up the side making the final score of the game 17-6.

The large number of last year’s players who graduated com- bined with a team made up of mostly rookies was supposed to denote failure for the Warriors this season. Instead, the team was on top of the league for the most part of the season; this in itself is an accomplishment.

The strong play of Veterans Jim Closs, Paul Toon, Tony Stea, Malcolm Gilchrist, Harold God- win and Blair Falconer is cre- dited for the first-place finish of the team in the regular season. But the newly aquired talents of rookies Hayden Belgrave, Paul Overbaugh and Mark Schneider were factors in the teams suc- cess this year as well.

The OUAA finals are set for Saturday at McMaster. The Ma- rauders are up against Queen’s for the championship title.

younger Athena defenders. The score was 28-28 at the half, with both teams having trouble scor- ing. Unfortunately, the scoring drought continued in the second half for the Athenas and not for Lakehead. The Athenas were too late in getting back on track, eventually falling to a 60-43 de- feat. Cindy Poag had an out- standing game, scoring 16 points and clearing seven off the boards.

Carleton had a very weak team, getting blown out by Wa- terloo 83-39 in the consolation semi-final. ‘Lueg had 25 points and 10 rebounds. Every player had the chance to play in this game, helping them gain some much needed tournament expe-

rience. Ottawa U. gave the Athe- nas some trouble in the final, as they are a very pesky team with short quick guards who like to run. Again, it was Corinna Lueg and Cindy Poag who led the team to a 43-40 win, scoring 29 and rebounding 23 between them.

Coach Warren Sutton said he was pleased with the play of Lueg and. Poag, whose leader- ship and poise kept the team in the running for all three games. Lueg received a Tournament All- Star Selection, and Poag cer- tainly deserved one. Brenda Bowering also had a couple of exceptional games. Overall, the team is playing at a strong con- sistent level and now has a 6-l record this year.

The Warriors played confi- dently’> and well, dominating Laurier to win three consecutive games 15-6 15-2 15-2.

The Laurier middle attack was shut down by middlemen McKinnon and Heck. McKinnon is described by Coach Atkinson as “. , . one of the most under- rated players in the country. He has tremendous desire and con- centration. These assets coupled

with a great deal of athletic tal- ent make him, in my opinion one of the top middle players in the country.”

The Warriors were without the services of of starting setter Scott Murphy. Atkinson looked to rookie Martens to quarter- back the Warriors throughout the match. Martensa came up big f.or the Warriors, playing well all over the floor setting’s good of- fense and isolating Warrior hit- ters against only one Laurier blocker.

‘Victory eludes B-ball Warriors in Winnipeg

-by Mike McG’raw Imprint staff

An impressive string of plays by the Waterloo Warriors fell one basket shy of victory in a tournament last weekend at the University of Winnipeg. After handily defeating Laurentian and a team from Soeul, Korea, the Warriors were edged by the host team by a score of 107-106 in the championship game. _ Waterloo opened the round robin tournament with a con- vincing 83-62 victory over Laur- entian. Rob Froece.) led the Warriors with 20 points, while Paul Boyce and John Bilawey added 16 each.

In their second game,‘the War- riors trounced the inexperienced team from Soeul, 105-70. Every member of the Waterloo squad scored in the win, with Froece and John Sneider leading with 24 each while Boyce counted 19.

The championship game was a close and thrilling match. In a game which saw Winnipeg’s

~ Joey Vickery hit an astounding eight s-point field goals, the host team led by no more than seven points. The outcome was in doubt until the final buzzer with three lead changes in the final minute of play, and Waterloo missing on two last crack at- tempts with 22 and three se- conds remaining. Boyce was Waterloo’s high scorer with 31 points, while Sneider added 30 and Froece contributed 20. Sneider was particuliarly effec- tive in hitting on three of fifi s-point attempts during the game. Boyce was selected to the tournament all-star team.

Coach Don McCrae stated that

“it was a good tournament for us.” He noted that both Winnipeg and Laurentian are 4-O in CIAU play, while the, Warriors had played just one exhibition game previous to the tournament. McCrae said that thel tourna- ment was important for discov- ering if the team had a certain “fit” to it, and for finding out if the newer players could handle the action. He concluded that the tournament revealed “good news” about the Warrior squad. In commenting about the current prevalence of the newly in- stalled s-point line, McCrae said, “no-one knows how to deal with it yet”, adding that teams don’t know whether or not to add it to their game plan at this early stage.

nipeg team positioned to play each other in the semi-finals should both teams win their first round matches. Winnipeg will play Ryerson in the first round, while the Warriors play cross- town rivals, Laurier, McCrae said that although the tourna- ment draw attempts.to separate teams from the same conference, playing Laurier will be “good for the tournament”, due to the in- tense Waterloo-Laurier rivalry. In the other half of the Naismith draw, Toronto will play Windsor and Concordia will battle Laur- entian.

Hockey Warriors hang tough ,to skate to a O-O draw with Western

Warriors mix it up with Mustangs in close-checking hockey game Nov. 2.

The score was no indication of the intensity or the level of play demonstrated by the Warrior hockey team last Sunday after- noon. The Warriors put on an im- \ pressive offensive and defensive display to tie Western O-O.

short with awesome poise in and around the net. His fine perfor- mance continued throughout the game as he stopped thirty shots on net throughout the game.

Shortly after taking to the ice the Warriors dominated. the . . ‘Stangs with their tough con- trolled play.. The Waterloo de- fense played extremely well for the bulk of the first period keep- ing the puck in the Western zone thus nullifying Western’s dump and chase brand of hockey. The strong hits dished-out by the Warrior squad intimidated the Western offense forcing them into a scrappy individualistic brand of hockey.

Waterloo showed excellent support throughout the game laying on the big hits then quick- ly scooping up the unattended puck. Western’s saving grace throughout the period was some excellent saves by goalie Chris Jackson.

The first half of the second pe- riod was characterized by some excellent passing by both squads. However, once again-the Warrior intensity began to wane .around the midway point and Bi- shop was forced to demonstrate his fine net-minding ability with a spectacular glove save. McKee no doubt sensing the Western onslaught decided to stir things up with Wagner and Ellicott. The two determined to pick up the Warrior bench began mixing it up. Ellicott who provided the fans with an excellent Junior A style duel trounced his Western opponent and skated off earlier than expected to the showers. After the administrative mess had been sorted out and assorted players turfed Waterloo found themselves a man short as Wagner had to serve a major for his less than subtle crosscheck.

The Warriors dominated the majority of the first period but decided to take a nap around the 4-minute mark leaving goalie Bi- shop with the awesome task of repelling some good offensive ’ drives up the ice. Bishop made it look easy stopping the ‘Stangs

The Warriors finding them- selves a man short for the final minutes of the period rose to the occassion maintaining their con- trolled play to effectively kill the penalty.

The third period saw some good offense from Western as a seemingly timid Warrior side let

their intensity slide. However, Balas who had been playing dump the ‘Stang for the majority of the game came through with some excellent hockey to revive the Warrior bench and the crowds hopes for a victory with a strong drive to the Western goal at the 1l:Ol mark. Jackson, however in keeping with his fine goaltending throughout t,he game stopped him short. The next few minutes provided some very intense hockey as both teams played excellent passing games. The Warriors looking like the better team failed, how- ever, to capitalize on some excel- lent crosses in front of the ,Stang

‘net. At 2:15 left to play it looked as though the production line of Linseman and Glover had it won (both are top scorers on the OUAA stats page) but once again some excellent goaltend- ing by Jackson saved the day for Western and the score remained o-o.

The Warriors provided the fans with some extremely enter- taining all-out hockey proving themselves a formidable oppo- nent in this years OUAA sche- dule. The play UofT tonight and MacMaster on Saturday if your going to be in the big smoke this weekend make the effort to come out and watch a Waterloo winner.

In League A of men’s soccer, the Unreals dominated the sea- son play. As a result, they are heavy favourites to capture the playoff championship as a com- plement to their league cham- pionship. On their way to the league crown they did not con- cede a single goal in six games. The Seminoles have their work cut out for them in the A league playoffs. They finished the sea-

son without a point and are big underdogs for the playoffs des- pite showing improvement late in the season.

The B league was considerably closer race tha.n the A league. The Boombaras edged out the Le- gends and Mission Imposcivil by one point to capture the first place position. The playoffs for both leagues should be exciting with several teams competing for the prized first spot posi- tions.

The CBs got it together for their first win of the season, defeating the Notre Dame Dunkers by nine in another close game. The Par- tying Pink Flamingos won over the Reccers by a score of 40-21.

In B division action, the first- place Basket Cases had a strong second half to overcome their first half deficit, and down Con- rad Grebel. Also in B division play the Eye Sores scored their first win of the season. They had a big offensive game to beat Scramble Squad 29-9.

As regular season play winds down the players are gearing up for an interesting playoff series.

Polo team places third : by Joe Sary Imprint staff

The Warriors Waterpolo team played in the MacMaster Chal- lenge Cup last weekend coming

up with an impressive third place finish in the nine team tournament. The Warriors play- ing in the ‘B’ division finished first in round robin play losing to Toronto 6-3 but downing Ot$* ‘wa 6-3, RMC 13-3 and York 11-3. Toronto and Ottawa also fin- ished with a 3-1 record but the Warriors came out on top with the best for and against record.

In group A action Mac finished first with a perfect 3-0 record

followed by Carleton and Queens. Mac then proceeded to beat Toronto 9-3 in the semi-fi- nals while the Warriors lost to Carleton by a narrow 6-5 mar- gin. An unfortunate offensive foul made the difference ruining Waterloo’s chances to advance to the finals.

The Warriors however re- deemed themselves in> the final

iby beating Toronto 6-4 to finish third in the tournament while Mac went on to clinch the tour- nament by beating Carleton 9-3. Special thanks goes’ to coach Heinbuch who captured the top coaching award.

C-R lines up 50 teams by- Terry Knight

This term Campus Ret has 44 men’s and six women’s basket- ball teams. Without the excellent referees the basketball would not have run so successfully.

There are 21 referees, including nine rookies. When scheduling the referees we try to pair roo-

. kies with veterans whenever possible. We also try to start out the new refs in the C league games. Hopefully, our rookies

have begun to grasp the funda- mentals of officiating, and we encourage them to return in fu- ture terms. Campus Ret is fortu- nate to once again have the services of several current members of the K-W Board 210 (International ,Association of Approved Basketball Officials). We have 9 such officials this term and are grateful for their assistance. We have just com- pleted our playoff clinic for the refs so they are all ready for the playoffs (which start Nov 9).

Athletes of the Week

Athlete of the Week Corinna Lueg Basketball

Corinna is studying Mathe- matics at UW, she is a third-year Athena Basketball player from Pickering. She plays the centre position of the team. Corinna’s basketball extends beyond the UW team. she is a member of the provincial team and competed in Europe this summer on a select team. Corinna was a 1st Team All-Star in league play last sea- son.

Corinna led the team to a third place finish in a tournament this past weekend at Carelton. The team lost to Lakehead (60-43) in the opening round but went on to win bronze medals as they de- feated both Carelton (83-39) and Ottawa (43-40). Corinna played superbly in all three games.

Athlete of the Week Mike Bishop Hockey

It did not take long for Mike Bishop to make himself felt in Ontario university hockey. The first-year Science student from Elmira has played in goal for all four of the Warriors league games this season and.is one of the main reasons the team is un- defeated at this point of the sea- son. (3 wins and a tie)

This past weekend Mike had two great performances as he stopped 26 of 27 shots in an 11-l victory over RMC and then he stopped all 30 shots that West- ern peppered him with as the teams played to a scoreless draw.

Mike has a very impressive hockey background. He played Maj.Jr.A hockey in London, Kit- chener, and Bellville. In 1984 he was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers

‘X-country Warriors qualify for OUAA finals ._ . The Waterloo Warriors have depth, and race-day perfor- three,” he said, noting that one of women may have provided, Heal

At last tor of this is the performances of in Calgary and another is in the were ranked seventh in the coun- Saturdays’s OUAA Champion- the non-scoring sixth and sev- process of transferring back to try. We may have been fifth, but ships in Kingston, the men enth men. Waterloo scored 69 UW. Even without the depth this is the country’s toughest placed second to the University points, the sum of their top five which the men had and these two conference.”

I of Ottawa.Both teams, by plac- ing in the top two, earned the right to compete in the national university championships, to be run in London tomorrow.

Earlier in the day, the Athenas finished fifth in the OWIAA championship race.

For the Warriors, teamwork was the name of the game. Har- vey Mitro and Kevin Shields helped each other in finishing ninth and 12th, and Tim Rose -and Nick Cipp worked together to take 17th and 21st. The most disappointed team member was

- Andy Krucker who managed to all the way from around 18th to fourth place before fading to 16th. An outstanding race by normal standards, but a big let- down for the competitive Krucker who had hoped to chal- lenge winner John Halvorsen of Ottawa.

This being the first time that any of the Warriors have quali- fied for the cross-country cham- pionships, they were ’

individuals’ placings. The ‘jug- gernaut’ Ottawa team won hand- ily, as they swept the medals - their fifth man beat Waterloo’s first and they scored 20 points. Yet Tim Collins, 28th, and Chris Rogers in 82nd easily placed ahead of top-ranked Ottaw 3’s sixth man. Western, who went into the meet ranked one spot ahead of the No. 3 Warriors, simply could not match Water- loo’s depth and placed a distant third. Indeed, for all seven runners to pack between ninth and 82nd in a field of more than 80 runners is indicative of their overall strength. Coach Mills was reminded of the Canadian junior men’s team, a tough, hard- working lot he coached sat the 1978 World Championships. That team was also second,. missing upsetting England .by one point.

understandably excited. Per- haps even more so were assist- ant coaches Don Mills and Chris Lane. The normally sedate pair saw a training regimen they jointly planned and oversaw, emphasizing speed-endurance and late-race strength, pay-offin a CIAU berth. This is Waterloo’s first appearance at the CIAU’s since 1969.

The Athenas, meanwhile, had a mixed race at the champion- ships. Jill Francis and Ulrike Zu- gelder, running well together, were 15th and 16th, and Kelly Boulding was close behind with and excellent 22nd. Maggie Ste- wart, 84th, and Cathy Bauer, 49th, were the other scorers, and Kilmeny Beimler and Marielle Rowan were 55th and 56th. May Alizadeh of Western won the race, while Toronto took the

-team title.

The result was a vindication of Head Coach Any Heal was Waterloo’s approach to running, pleased with the women’s per- which stresses teamwork, formance: “We had a solid first
