L ast Wednesday, The Anti-Cuts Ac tion Committee (ACAC) held a rally to protest the $2.6 billion in cash the

federal government wants to cut from post secondary education funding.

Held outside the Dana Porter library, a crowd of over 300 students gathered in the cold to hear the seven speakers tell them why the cuts must be resisted, and how the Liberal government had lied to them in the last federal election.

Many of those attending were concerned about the potential tuition increase and how it would affect the Canadian post-secondary education system in Canada.

One student,Valerie Damsma, described herself as “in debt to my eyebrows.” A single mother, Damsma said, “if they’re going to up tuition, I might as well just quit.” Damsma is currently working on a degree in Psychol- %Y-

“I admonish the Fedt:ration of Students br not being here today... they are probably Jer there having a beer,“jeered Larry Batista,

President of the Waterloo Region Labour Council, which represents 20,000 union- ized workers in the region.

Although the Feds were very clear in there opposition to ACAC, denying them financial support when they were asked in early December, several members were at the rally, including President Steve Codrington and some of the candidates of the upcoming election.

Raquel David and Kara Richardson from the Womyn’s Centre were at the protest. The Womyn’s Centre officially opposes the cutbacks, and is “‘against all social spending cuts,” says R.ichardson.

Michael Went, a fourth year Environ- mental Studies major, was not only at the protest, but carrying a isign, as were about I5 others. ‘<I don’t feel that students should

have to pay higher fees,” he says, adding that any tuition raises will only make a university education more inaccessible to those from lower income families.

0 n Wednesday, the federation of Stu- dents held a forum to discuss the proposed cuts to post-secondary edu-

cation by the federal government. Following just hours after the protest

held by the Anti-Cuts Action Committee (ACAC), the Federa’tion held their forum in an attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of sitting down with the powers-that-be and rationally discussing the issues. The Feds had shied away from the protest, fearing a food throwing fiasco like the one in Ottawa a few months ago, where thousands of students ended up tossing macaroni and other edibles at Lloyd Axworthy, the Minister of Human Resources.

About a hundred people showed up to the Theatre of the Arts in the Modem Lan- guages building to hear speakers including an MP from Don Valley West, a representa- tive from the provincial Ministry of Educa- tion and Training, and Dr. James Downcy, President of the University of Waterloo.

Brian Smyth, who organized the ACAC rally attended the forum. Commenting on the turnout at the ACAC rally, Smyth said “ac- tive opposition from the Federation of Stu- dents didn’t help Or; turnout, but there wcrc

more there that there probably will be here tonight.”

The first speaker, John Godfrey, the MP from Don Valley West in Toronto, toed the official government line, saying “through the

combination oftax points and the loan scheme, there will be more money available.”

Later, responding to a question from the audience, he explained that social programs cost the federal government $40 billion an- nually, and that they are “part of the reason

we arc in debt.” He also mentioned that the government has to come up with the same sum each year just to pay the interest on the debt.

James Downey took an unexpected approach that was sympathetic with the gov-

ernment. “I think it is unrealistic to think that the federal government, faced with the kind of debt it has to tackle at the moment, is going to protect areas of spending that it is not responsible for,” he said, explaining that according to the constitution, education is a provincial responsibility.

He also sympathized with Axworthy, saying “spare a thought for Mr. Axworthy,” and “consider his position.”

Afterwards, Adam Lee, a Federation of Students researcher, told Imprint that he thought the forum had gone well. “I certainly think it was more beneficial than the Anti- Cuts protest.”

Not surprisingly, Brian Smyth disagreed. Comparing the protest and the forum, he said of the protest “people know that’s the more effective way.”

Lee however, was convinced that the calm, sit-down method was superior. “No matter how many people picket or whine and scream...it’s just mass hysteria. It’s accom- plishing absolutely nothing.”

Christine Dewhurst, Vice-president Op- erations and Finance, agreed. “Running around campus with h:ysteria is going to make me feel better, because I’m gonna be able to get out there and scream and yell and holler, but is it going to do anything?”

President Cladrington was happy with both events, saying that “‘it’s all about media coverage. ” As long as the school and the students looked good in the media, said Codrington, “ I think today was a total success.”

Rough justice is served

by Jeff Warner Imprint staff

T he Federation of Students has written a letter in response to recent allegations that it imA

properly allowed students to pay a $25 per term fee.

Imprint has charged that the Federation of Students and the UW administration arc jointly responsible for charging students the fee in direct violation of a January, 1992, student referendum.

The referendum approved a $10 fee to create a student-directed endowment fund and a $25 fee to finance the construction oftwo new buildings, aphysical activities complex on the north campus and the Student Centre addition to the Cam- pus Centre. However, the referendum stated that the second fee would not be collected until both structures were completed. The Student Centrc is cxpcctcd to open in March.

Last summer, Stephen Codrington, President of the Fed- eration of Students, met with Dorothy Battae, the UW Treasurer. They decided to honour the agreement Coleman had signed and col-

A previous agreement was made between then-President ofthe Federation Catherine Coleman and the University to start cotlecting the fee in September, 1994. This dcci- sion was made on the assumption that the Student Centre would be open by then, and on the need to start bank payments in November, 1994, regardless of opening date. The North Campus Complex had already opened, eight months early, in January, 1994.

Codrington defended his decision, al though he acknowledged that it broke the terms of the referendum. “I think that we have kept the spirit of the referendum, if not the letter,” he stated, adding that the Federation is not planning any further action on the matter.

The Federation’s legal counsel had agreed that details of the referendum had been breached, although it agreed that the spirit was kept. “I think the spirit of [the 1992 referendum] was. . . students would pay for improvements on campus,” and that is what has occurred.

“Rough justice has been served . . . I think that’s the point I’m trying to make,“said Codri ngton ,stating that the North Campus Facility had already been opened for eight months, and the fee was also paying for that. He pointed out that the fee was not benefitting the Fcderat ion, but only paying off the debt on the building, and that “it is only a $15 increase” over the original $10 fee for the endowment fund.

He also noted that “student re- sponsc to this . . . [is] pretty weak,” and that no one has approached him about it. “So what am I supposed to do?” he asked, adding that he would welcome any student with concerns

The only people benefitting from the early implementation of the fee, he noted, are “the people 18 to 25 years from now.” Students who paid the fee in the fall term still had use ofthc North Campus Facil- ity, and students who paid the fee this term will get to use the Student Centre when it opens in the next two months.

Called “Geschichte des Zcltbaus (History of Tents),” the exhibit in the Environmental Stud- ies 2 building is produced by the Institute for Lightweight Structures in Germany. Along with the history of tents, it gives an overview of recent technological applications.

The presentation is first-class, with colour reproductions of an- tique prints, designs, and a superb photographic archive arranged by Else Schmall. The development of tents in various indigenous and east- em societies are out1 ined, as well as huge tents in the European circus tradition. Included are many army tent encampments and designs of the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Per- sian, Roman, and Ottoman empires, as well as the most technologically advanced designs of architects Frei Otto and Peter Stromeyer.

disappointed that these particular endeavours have been overlooked in the exhibit; for instance, it might’ve been interesting to see the advances made in mountaineering tents over the past 40 years, from the Everest conquering canvas pup- tent styles to the new cutting edge tents based on Buckminster Full- er’s geodesic designs. Nonetheless, most neophytes will doubtless find the history, design aspects and pho- tographs of the presented tents fascinating.

The Student Life Projects En- dowment Fund provides money for student groups and organizations to pursue projects, such as improv- ing safety on campus and enhanc- ing study space and lounges.

“The exciting part of this whole thing is that it is forever,” said Peter Hopkins, UW’s associate provost for student affairs. Hopkins cx- plaincd the fund contains $900,000, but only $60,000 in yearly intcrcst will be used for student projects. The principal was dcrivcd from contributions of student fees gathered during the last scvcn terms and a $250,000 donation from the university. This term will bc the first time that the interest is used.

In 1985 the National Eating Disorder Information Centre was established. The centre provides information and resources concerning eating disorders, primarily Ano- rexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, and weight preoccupation. It also organizes Eat- ing Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW).

On campus a body image group called HOPE (Helping Open People’s Eyes) was formed in 1993. Last year HOPE set up an information booth during EDAW and will do the same again this year on February 7. The booth will be set up in the Davis Centre.

This year, the Feds will join groups across Canada and the United States to participate in EDAW from February 6 through 12. Their goal is to raise awareness of the high in- stances of anorexia and bulimia through education. Eating Disorders affect women and men of all backgrounds, ages and abilities.

The group is comprised of students from both UW and Laurier. They hold speaking engagements, write to the media, and are putting together an infonmation booklet about eating disorders to be included in Frosh kits.

Firing Line @ S ome students may have already seen the

CBC’s attempt to cash in the Generali- zation-X phenomenon with their new

show entitled Liberty Street (CBC, Wednes- days at 8:30.) As might be expected, the show is a rather vile piece of rubbish that could easily be re-titled The Unemployed Twenty- sumethings of Lkgrassi Street.

The characters are flaccid, one-dimen- sional and preachy; the plots are lame and predictable and the situations the kids find themselves in are simply conduits for some higher moral message.

So far, the show hasn’t distinguished itself from a lot of CBC’s television line-up, and I wouldn’t be mentioning it except for a column by Terence Corcoran in last Friday’s Gkobe.

Corcoran reveals that among the usual credits to organizations such as Telefilm Canada and the Ontario Film Investment Cor- poration, one of the funding credits for the show goes to Health Canada.

Health Canada not only provides $250,000 to the show, but has also had it’s hand in the development of the characters and the plot. (?t wasn’t clear whether or not the money was given as a lump sum or is a weekly contribution to the show’s $500,000 budget.) In a press release from Health Canada, they explain that “Experts at Health Canada worked with script co-ordinators and writers at Epitome Pictures Inc. from the earliest development phases of the series.”

This money was pumped into the show in order to support Health Canada’s fight against tobacco and alcohol consumption, as well as to “realistically” address important health issues relevant to mental health.

Now, wait a minute. The first question that should be raised here is why isn’t Health Canada using this money for some other, perhaps more usefU1 purpose such as, oh T don’t know. * .TREATING SICK PEOPLE?

I understand that the Canadian dollar is taking a beating and inflation is still a problem in Canada, but surely a quarter of a million dollars must still be a lot of money, even for a government agency.

The second question is one of artistic freedom. Usually an attempt to express a viewpoint or to make some kind of social commentary through artistic means is a product of an individual, or a group of individuals’, vision. Resources used to further that vision should be seen as a means to that artistic end, not as the end itself. To compromise your vision for someone who is providing you with money makes you a whore.

YOU BASTARDS, YOU GREEDY SELFISH, MONEY GRUBBING BAS- TARDS! HOW DARE YOU PORTRAY YOURSELVES AS ARTISTIC IN ANY WAY!

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. I believe what bothers me the most is not

so much the fact that the show is (despite Epitome Pictures’ objections to the contrary) a front for a government agency, but that ultimately Liberty Street is a bad show.

In times of government cutbacks to tuition, and a general economic recession, tax- payers are still being forced to give money to an organization that, under the guise of public service and artistic expression, is a propaganda machine for the puritanical views of some narrow-minded bureaucrats.

The CBC was envisioned as a public service, and has become a public nuisance. While refusing money from agencies such as Health Canada may result in lower budget programming, the end result would be a truer vision of Canadian artists.

The CBC is irreverently referred to as The Corpse by Frank Magazine, and this title is obviousfy justified by such haIf-assed attempts at drama such as Liberp Street.

And most importantly, why did we have to see the second tape to feel so ‘outraged about our military’s behaviour? Wasn’t the murder of the Somali man enough?

Maybe if we watch TV long enough we will find out.

Qur’an Speaks speaks

Tu the Editor,

In his letter to the Editor titled *Qur’an Silent’ and published in the January 20th issue of the Im- print, John Szucs calls the Qur’an Speaks column ‘Religious Propaganda!’ Well that is one way to look at it! I call it an invitation to goodness and peace. Apparently he thinks that the one thing (Islam) that affects the ideals, conduct, morals. way of thinking, emotions, and personality of I billion+ people is not interesting enough to stir one’s curiousity! He then goes on to make unsupported claims about Islam and muslims. Very briefly, I would like to make the following points clear:

I ) The Qur’an is not only superior in a literary sense to any written text in the history of humanity and perfectly preserved for 1400 years but also free from any mistakes or contradictions (between its verses or with scientific facts),

2) The myth that Islam ‘spread by the sword’ is just that, a myth and theonly evidence John presented was at1 example from the history ofchristianity (very ‘scientilic‘ indeed!). 1 call the sword tale a myth because ofthe following: the largest muslim population elcist in south-east Asia (over 250 million), a part of the world that was NEVER under the ruling ofthe muslim state, nor did a muslim soldier set a foot there!

- lslnm is the fastest growing faith on the face of the earth. especially in the West! Actually most Western converts are wrjmen! (that answers his claim about the oppression of women in Islam). Islam is spreading (as it always did) by the sword ofthe truth.

- Itecently, 1,000’s of the allies’ soldiers who participated in the Desert Storm converted to Islam, and it was not under Sword Point!

3)The 2nd myth: Islam’s intolerance. Again the existence of millions of non-muslirns in muslirn countries after 1400 years ofmuslim ruling is entbugh evidence to the contrary of this intolerance myth.

4) John blamed me for not citing any shortcom- ings of Islam. Well, there are none to cite! It is as simple as that. And if he, or anyone else believes otherwise they can come and discuss it with us at our weekly forum in MC’1056 on Wednesdays at 12:30.

5) Finally, tolerant John ‘advised’ me to show and not tell. Well 1’11 show AND tell and tell and tell . . . God willing.

Muharmzad Elrabaa, E&CE Dept., UW

The Qur’an speaks again

Mr. Szucs, in his letter to the Editor last issue (Jan 20), considered Muslims being 1 biLlion is not a sufficient ground to become interested in learning how these Muslims think and why they believe in Islam. Well, I agree, it is his right to state this opinion.

However, it seems that he is assuming that all religions are the same, which is not true. He also is confusing the two different issues: 1) what Islam teaches, and 2) how some Muslims behave.

He also seems to get all his information about Islam from the news! Doesn’t he know that the media usually presents only the bad news ( No news , . . Good news). He is restricting his knowledge about Islam to the standard stereotypes against Islam as portrayed in the media.

ThisisexactlywhywearepresentingtheQur’an speaks column. It is for those who are interested in learning about Islam from its sources, not only from its foes,

As a human being, I understand why many people reject all religions because of their bad experiences with only one religion. They selected theeasy way out. As a Muslim, I respect their right of taking this position because 1 believe in the basic Islamic

* concept “There is no compulsion in religion” [Q&an 2:256].

The Qur’an Speaks tries to encourage the community at UW to read and know more about this great religion, Islam. It is a small window for us to learn about the real Islam. This knowledge will surely enhance our relations with each other.

The Qur’an Speaks had already dealt with some ofthe issues raised by Mr. Szucs in previous columns. However, Mr. Szucs: wait for more replies to these issues in articles to come.

FinaIly, a 32-page newspaper shouldhave more room for religious columns. Where are the Christian

and Atheist columns? Arts and sports are important, I agree. However, I believe religion is as important, if not more.

Muslims not superior

Tu the Ed&r,

This letter is directed to Mr. Elrabaa, author of the Qu’ran Speaks.

I am sure that you are a pious and devoted Muslim, and you seem fairly well versed in the Qu’ran and the ways of Islam. I’m sure your god appreciates your efforts at spreading his word, but I do not. 1 am not Muslim and don’t plan on ever becoming one. Yet, I do endeavor to keep up on other religious viewpoints and their thoughts on our world, Many of my friends arc Muslim and I do not have any problems with them, however I do have great diffi- culties with your opinionated column.

I find your tone condescending and belittling to other faiths. Every week you speak of the tolerance and greatness of your religion. Fine. But this past week you really took the biscuit. Saying “that Mus- lims establishod the greatest civilization that ever existed is a testament to the sU,!>erioritY of Islam.” Who do you think you arc preaching to the people of this institution about the “superiority” of your religion? And exactly which great civilization are you talking about?

Wake up! Everyone in the world doesn’t sub- scribe to the zealous viewpoint you are setting forth. You are a poor representation of the Muslim community and demonstrate only one-sided arguments based largely, if not solely on beliefs and rarely on facts. Take some history courses and inject some relevance to your statetnemts. And maybe try some respect and tolerance of other beliefs and maybe I’ll read your bigoted column again.

Sunil Solarzki 2N Hum Science

Not satisfied To the Ed&w,

This is in response to the letters of Kevin Miller in thelmprintofJan. 6 and Jan. 20,199s. Saying that 75% of women are not raped in their lifetimes and 90% of women are not assaulted by their husbands doesn’t make, as Kevin suggests, those numbers look more positive. As long as not 100% women are safe from male violence in their lifetimes, I’m not satisfied.

“First mourn. Then work for change.” That is exactly the motto for Dec. 6 memorials and that’s what women’s groups are doing. If Kevin thinks that living a “victim mentality” is their main interest, he shows that he knows nothing about the women’s movement.

One of the very many reasons for the existence of women’s groups is that women want to plan and do things looking at their own interests and feelings, without regarding men’s notions. So thanks, Kevin, for telling us what we are supposed to do. The suggestions that we celebrated the right to vote that women in Canada got 77 years ago instead of facing actual problems, was especially wonderful.

Gyhulie sucks. - l

Tu the Editur,

I would like to express my disgust for the poorly chosen title “Longfellows Short on Talent” published in the Friday, January 6, 1995 Tmprint. My concern is for the mislGalting implications ofthis “in- your-face” title that appeared on page 27.

Any readers who took the time to read the article would have seen the shallow standards the author, Mike Gyhulie, used to equate the broad topic of ‘talent’ with the narrow topic of ‘stage presence’. The key word here is MUSIC. The closest Mike’s

review came to discussing the heart of the matter was acomment that “The show wasn’t poortechnically...“.

Unfortunately, browsers of the Imprint who didn’t take the time to realize there was no substance to Mike Gyhulie’s article may be left with a Iasting negative impression of the Longfellows.

Finally, I would like to point out that the Longfellows are doing more than just ‘bracticing in front of a mirror”; The Longfellows are making MUSIC and dreams happen. By the way, what’s wrong with practicing in front of the mirror? I’m sure it’s taken many nights for “Our Lady Peace” to perfect it’s “Pearl Jam”r Tragically Hip” IMAGE in the mirror.

And what about the author, Mike Gyhulie? I see a “SPIN columnist wannabe.”

virtues ofartists such as Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, and (those Gods of music) 54-40, this comment illustrates that Mr. Aldworth has no appreciation for some of the most innovative music on the planet.

Not everyone can be Offspring or Green Day, Chris. Maybe one day you will appreciate an album that isn’t a huge commercial success and doesn’t sell millions of copies. I doubt it, though. For some reason, I see you wallowing along in the mud and slop of the mainstream, just following behind everyone else like a blind sheep.

One is too’many Tu the Editur,

0 m * Aldworth One woman out of four is 25% too many.

To tl2e Editor, - Heather Culder 3B En@. Lit.

Just when the Arts section was getting respect- able, along comes Chris “Mr. Pop Culture” Aldworth again. Time after time, Mr. Aldworth shows his ignorance as far as music is concerned, and is constantly writing as ifhe were employed at YTV. 1 don’t think that this member of your staff understands that a music review is based on more than comparisons.

Take a moment and read any of Mr. Aldworth’s reviews, and you will find countless comparisons, but that is all. In the January 13th issue alone, he used eight comparisons in only two reviews, and his review of The Spoons (admittedly a bad album) should be a review, not a social critique of eighties new wave rock.

The biggest problem with Mr. Aldworth’s ‘reviews’ is that they are actually commentaries on the band or artist, and not reviews of the music on the album. In his Treble Charger review, for instance, he only mentions a couple of song titles with no elabo- ration, except for a small comparison (Surprise! Sur- prise!) with R.E.M.

I am writing concerning your coverage of the recent shooting at Dalhousie University of Nuysa Campbell, apparently by her roommate Lisa Corra (Shooting Shocks Dalhousie -Jan. 20195). 1 was glad to see a prominent article on this event, since it touched me very deeply, and I was sure that it would do the same for many stude:nts. Rut then my emotions turned to shock and disgust when I saw your “Cam- pus Question” for the week: “What’ ivould your roommate have to do for you to shoot them?” Was this a cheap attempt at bumour at the expense of someoneelse’s tragedy, or were you suggesting there are valid reasons for shooting someone? Either way you trivialized a very serious issue.

I first heard of this incident on an on-line newspaper from my home town of Halifax. The article described in detail where each woman had been when

Letters to the Editor continued from page 13 Corra pulled a rifle out of her guitar case, the route along which she chased Campbell across campus - in and out of buildings, and where the shooting and arrest took place. Having studied at Dal for four years I could picture it ail too clearly, I know those streets, have been through those buildings, and could picture the doors and hallways,

My first thoughts weredisbelief. Ijustcouldnot imagine this happening in the middle of a busy campus. I wondered how I would have reacted if I had been there. Then I started to think of ail the friends I have known who have had seemingly ridiculous, but actually quite serious, conflicts with their roommates. I realized that this could have happened to one of them, if their roommate had reacted in this way. Or could one of my friends have been the one to snap, and try to shoot someone?

Ifyouwantedtodealwiththissituation,whynot ask “What would you do if you had a conff ict with your roommate, to avoid it escalating outofcontrol’?” Then you could have generated some useful discussion, perhaps on the value of Campus Mediation or the PALS phone line here at UW. It would have been better not to have mentioned the events at all, than to treat them as you did.

Bryson vs. Miller To the Editor;

Kevin Miller says I made myself look bad when I took him to task for calling Marc Lepine “a feminist hero.”

Hardly, I would point out to him that feminists thern-

selves have expressed concern about what he calls their”victim-ideoIogy.” WitnessNaomi Wolf smost recent book. Witness Camille Paglia. It is a legiti- mate concern. His comments are welcome. They may even be valuable. The manner he chose to express them (Imprint, January 6), however, was brutal and ugly.

1 am surprised that he chose not to acknowledge in his second letter (January 20) the poor taste of comments like “in gratitude to Marc Lepine, it seems only fitting that women’s groups across the country take time on December A [to] remember this man and his contribution to the feminist cause.”

His understanding of feminism is narrow and stereotypical at best, He says education is the answer. He could use some.

I wonder what he imagines to have been Lepine’s goal, when he writes that the rituals on December 6 help Lepine to accotnplish “all he set out to do, and more.” Lepine is dead, so are more than a dozen women.

On November 11 we remember the veterans who died in the wars of this century. This ritual does not ensure that Hitler “accomplished all he set out to do, and more.” Neither do the rituals that take place on December 6 celebrate Lepine’s actions. To sug- gest that they should is revolting.

Miller would prefer us to celebrate the achieve- ment of women rather then reflect on those who are victimized. “Remember, yes. But then move on.” But this solution is no solution. It will only push us to return to the days when domestic violence wasn’t a “proper” topic for discussion. (Why? Because it creates a victim culture!)

A solution, if there is one, must include the stories of the victims and an examination of the structures that helped to put them there. The solution does not lie in an appeal to the “light.”

Celebrate, yes. But remember. Work forchange. Miller feels that he has been shouted down by

“doctrine.” This is a cowardly defence, when he has yet to explain what he meant when he wrote that feminists are using the Montreal Massacre “to further

some of these activities around December 6. If they are not, let him identify them.

Hooray for Mr. Neon

To the Editor,

Today (January 25) at the tuition protest, something occurred that ever)! student on this campus should be aware of.

Among the hundreds of anti-Axworthy protesters, one student stood out. He was holding a neon yellow sign that rlead: “RAISE TUITION/ LOWER DEFICIT/SAVE CANADA/Fiscal Respon- sibility&r Only Hope.” Smce I don’t know his name, let’s call him Mr. Neon. As you can imagine, Mr. Neon was the sore thumb sticking out of the crowd of pro-socialist, pro-labour, anti-cuts protesters. Pho- tographers were quick to snap a few shots and a reporter began asking ques’tions, anxious to hear why he chose to protest the protest. He was defnintely stealing the spotlight.

Of course, the anti-cuts people couldn’t allow this to happen. Soon several1 people holding sings and WPIRG clipboards began whispering and pointing. Within 30 seconds, one of these people walked over and began waving her own sign in front of Mr. Neon’s, trying to block a photographer from getting a picture. I yelled “Nice way to limit his freedom of speech!” Several other people stood by Mr. Neon and offered their support. Shortly after this, a rather obnoxious person approached.Mr. Neon and started shouting at him, swearing, and threatening him. De- spite violent threats, Mr. Neon stood his ground, explaining that he had the right to stand where he was and wave his sign. (Of course he was right, although it looked like he might lose his head because of it.)

Isn’t it freedom of speech that made this protest possible in the first place? Why would people dedicated to social justice act in this manner? Hats off to Mr. Neon, the brave student who stood up for his rights. He had as much right to speak his mind as anyone else, and that is sornething that should not be forgotten.

I sit here amazed days later, that these two men chose not to ignore the act they witnessed; they did not drive past the hurt, naive woman who felt no fear before in walking alone.

You hear constantly on the news ofsimilar acts which ended brutally. Passive observance and pleas of ignorance have seemingly become commonplace. 1 write this now in gratitude to my two strangers. They showed me a truer face of humankind.

Bevond basic reading d

by Heather Cakier special to Imprint

I f you can read this you arc not one of sixteen percent of functionally illiterate Canadians.

Reading is a skill most of us who attend university take for granted, even though we would not, and could not, be here without it. How- ever, almost three million Canadi- ans lack the basic skills to deal with written material they encounter every day.

Imagine that you arc going to the local grocery store. You are busy shopping and picking out the products you usually buy. You can’t find your favorite kind of soup, though, bccausc the manufacturers have changed the label and you no longer recognize the colours and shapes of the words on the can. Or worst - you can’t tell which bottle

of cleaning fluid you need to put on the top shelf, away from your children. or which bottle holds your penicillin, and how often you are supposed to take it.

Difficulty with basic literacy skills means much more than being unable to read the paper - the safety and security of your family may be at stake. You have trouble applying for a job, you riced help finding an address, and you can’t even find

r someone in the phone book. You may feel stupid and uneducated. You may feel ashamed. You may be secretive.

Anyone who has worked in retail or tourism has probably en- countered someone who has “messy writing” or who “forgot” his or her glasses. “Can you make this cheque out for me, dear?” they ask. And you do it, shaking your head at this elderly person, or this scatterbrained father, or this poor shortsightedper- son.

These people are not scatterbrained or shortsighted -- they are fUnctionally literate. This is different from being illiterate, because functionally literate people can complete familiar everyday tasks without difficulty. It is the unfamil- iar that causes a functionally literate person to stop and ask for help - or worse, to say nothing at all.

It’s more common than any of us think. In Canada, one in five people are considered functionally literate. Twenty-fiveperCentofOn- tario’s population has basic literacy skills. That translates into 45,000 people in Waterloo Region - more than the 35, 743 full-time students

READ network’s members, such as CORE Literacy and the K-W Lit- eracy Coalition, by taking part in several types of programs. Some students are matched with a tutor, working through a program one on one for about three hours a week. Others take part in group sessions andreading circles that enable leam- ers to build their confidence while they improve their reading skills.

Classroom sessions can help those who have better initial reading skills. The most important aspect of these type of programs is that they provide practice. “Read- ing and-writing is like a muscle,” Ramsay says. “If you don’t exer- cise those muscles you don’t keep them.” Reading and writing skills require practice in order to be effective. Ramsay compares it to learning to speak French. We all have the capacity to learn languages -but it is critical to use that capacity.

An international body called Canadian Organization fof Devel- opment through Education (CODE) attempts to address the issue of literacy worldwide. Marc than 95% of the world’s illiterate population is concentrated in developing countries. Gambia has a literacy rate of 12%, for example, compared with Canada’s literacy rate of 86%. CODE recognizes that this is largely due to lack of reading materials,

Espe- cially crucial is the inclusion of information about AIDS in the papers and in books that reach school children. By teaching people to read, CODE addresses wider issues. Women tend to be among the least literate in developing countries, making up as much as 79% of the illiterate population. This is largely because education is expensive compared to food, and is not a

priority for families who need to make a choice between the two, Families tend to believe that men will be better wage earners than women, and that education is “wasted’* on women. According to the CODE newsletter, Ngoma (“talking drum” in Swahili), when women learn to read, they apply their knowledge to food produc- tion, and as a result the hygiene and

nutrition of their families improve tremendously.

It is easy for students and other community members to get involved in thle Waterloo Region in order to mak.e that difference. Stu- dents are popular as tutors at the University Heights adult education program, and as one on one tutors. The time commitment is minimal at three hours a week. Students can get involved in reading circles like those at Laurier, as well. For more information about how to get involved, call Anne Ramsayat Project READ.

It is also possible to support literacy campaigns by giving money to organizations like Local Perform- ers for Literacy. Students can buy local publishing efforts like The Write Stuff, a chapter book of learner writing produced by CORE Literacy. Frontier College in To-

Gambia only has a

literacy rate of 12%

ronto produces similar efforts. It is satisfying to see your name in print, as many of us know, and students have the added satisfaction of helping the orgzlnizations that placed them in a life-changing program. Frontier College also helps reach potential learners by sending students to worlk with and tutor workers’in the fruit and vegetable picking industries.

There are other ways to get involved. Ramsay advises students to, first and foremost, be more aware of literacy issues. Think about all of the things that you read and write every day, outside of school. “If you go to a bank, they just shove papers in your face!” exclaimed Ramsay. Many people can’t read these forms or fill them out, and being aware of this fact means we can be sensitive to their so-called “short-sightedness.” Reducing the shame involved in literacy issues means that we can be more effective in solving them.

$ SPORTS Q Hello! Anvbodv home??

CIAU, where are you??? by Patti Lenard Imprint sports

T he Warrior Volleyball team incrcascd their league record to 8-O last Friday witha seem-

ingly effortless 3-O win over 5th placed McMaster. They continue to hold first place in the volleyball league standings, OUAA West Di- vision.

Naturally then, this team is guaranteed one of the four play-off spots. Currently, the contenders for the remaining three spots are Windsor, Brock, Western, and McMaster.

The play-offs are quickly ap- proaching, and begin on February 14th, with the 1 st place team hosting the 4th place team.

With set scores of 15-5, 15-7, and 15- 10, the Warriors looked relaxed and confident against McMaster, and made their cheer- ing fans proud.

Matt Reed, out of for a few weeks because of an ankle injury, led the effort with 17 krlls throughout the match (kills occur when a team mcmbcr spikes the ball down to the floor directly and extremely hard, with no one able to success- fully return it. The result must then

be either a point or the return of serve).

Matt is also second in leading scorers in the West Division, with an average of 5.9 points per game. He trails McMaster’s Geoff White, who averages 7.5 points per game.

Nevertheless, one could still hear head coach Ed Price in the background, yelling for more defence (dcfcncc constitutes the part of the game where a team must receive the serve).

The Waterloo Warriors are therefdre concentrating on return- ing the scrvc strongly and rapidly, with the result being the regaining of the serve.

And still, the team is striving for more; national recognition as a talented and top team. Last week at this time, the Black Plague was ranked 9th nationally and was hoping for an increase in this rank. This week, according to the CIAU coaches volleyball poll, they are not even ranked in the top 10. So, where are they?

After all, this team is first in the West Division. Within Ontario, they’ve never lost a match. Shouldn’t that make them nationally ranked?

Even more surprising is the

comparison between the Waterloo Warriors and the Toronto Blues. Both teams are ranked first in their rcspectivc divisions, Waterloo in the West Division, with a match record of 8-O and Toronto in the East Division, with a match record Q#- 8-2.

As well, both teams have two members ranked in their respective divisions list of leading scorers. For Waterloo, Matt Reed is in 2nd and Rene Holt is in 7th. Both athletes were named to the Rycrson Tour- nament All-Star team early in the second half of the season.

However, Waterloo has been ranked 9th for several weeks, while last week was the first time Toronto was ranked, with an entrance at 10th place. And now, this week

Waterloo has been removed from the rankings, and Toronto is in 8th place.

What can be made of this? No one can be sure. Possibly, one should just wait to see the changes thaf may be made to the rankings during the following weeks.

The Warriors are a talented team, and will once again show their finesse in front of a home crowd, in a match against Brock this Wednesday. Warriors kill again - find the double meaning in that!

Warriors stung

“It’s always dangerous to play a team on a losing streak.”

by Peter Brown Imprint sports

T he Western Mustangs don’t take kindly to five-game losing streaks, and showed it

on Wednesday night, edging the Waterloo Warriors 76-7 1 at PAC.

With Waterloo’s 95-91 win in Windsor last Sunday, the War- riors are 4- 1, good enough for second place in the OUAA West, while the ‘Stangs improve to 2-5.

In other action Wednesday night, the surging Guelph Gryph- ons stayed perfect (5-O) with a 75- 67 win over the Brock Badgers (4- 2) in St. Catharines.

“It’s a loss -- we weren’t going to be undefeated,” said War- rior head coach Tom Kieswetter.

Western’s defence led the way, limiting Warrior phenom Sean Van Koughnett to 9 points on 4-of-14 shooting and Nick Poulimenos to 4-of- 17. Waterloo shot only 35 per cent from the field as a team.

“Western did a great job in denying Sean the ball,” Kieswetter said. “They had a great plan defensively.”

With starting centre Jefti-ey Wettlaufer in foul trouble by halftime, Mustang coach Art Sharpe used the shorter but speedier Michael Milne in the post, taking advantage of Warrior centre Mark Hopkins. Milne led UWO with 20 points.

“We wanted our post man to give some help on the baseline

cuts, but with Milne, we couldn’t do that,” Kieswetter said. “We’re not going to ponder this one very much, until the next time we play Western -- we had better stop MiIne .”

Forward Tom Balfe showed his usual intensity and led the team with 14 points and 12 boards. Point guard Mano Watsa was a bright spot for Waterloo, coming off the bench to score 12 points, including 4-of-4 shooting from the charity stripe.

“Offensively, [ Watsa] showed some leadership; he was in control as the quarterback,” Kieswetter said. “Defensively he was scrambling, creating turnovers.”

Watsa and fellow tumover- baker Nick Poulimenos set the de- fensive tone as the Warriors stormed from a nine-point half-time deficit to within three. The Warriors shot only IO-of-1 8 on free throws, but even that doesn’t tell the story of the crucial misses. With the ‘Stangs leading 57-50, UW missed the front end of three one-shot bonuses, two by Van Koughnett and the third by Mark Eys.

At Windsor last Sunday, Van Koughnett poured in 33 points, including four three-pointers and 9- of-9 shooting from the free throw line, to lead the Warriors past the Lancers. The game was tied at 40 at half, and UW led by 12 with eight minutes to play before the Lancers pulled within two in the closing minutes. Waterloo’s pair of front- court veterans, Hopkins and Balfe,

continued to shine, The two fourth- year players scored 17 and 15 respectively, with Balfe also recording 9 rebounds. Windsor’s offensive powerhouse Patrick Osborne scored 26.

The Warriors take on the winless, if not hapless, Golden Hawks at aurier tomorrow at 2 p.m. Despite their O-5 record, the Hawks have had a couple of close games, losing by only five points last Sat- urday to Guelph.

Next Wednesday night, Wa- terloo travels to St. Catharines to battle the Ba.dgers.

The Warriors won’t have to win a quarter-final playoff game in February to isee the bright lights of Hamilton’s Copps Coliseum, a site that’s eluded them since the OUAA moved the West division final there two years ago. They’ll just have to make the playoffs. That’s because the first-round quarter-finals will be held at Capps for the first time as part of a three-day divisional championship tournament.

As usual, the top two seeds will get a first-round bye and the quarterfinals will pit no. 3 against no. 6 and no. 4 against no. 5.

But instead of giving the third and fourth-place teams homecourt on the traditional Tuesday night preceding the championship weekend, those two games will go on Friday, March 3. As has been the custom for the past two postseasons, the semifinals will be played on Saturday afternoon, with the championship final on Sunday.

Track by Kregg Fordyce special to Imprint

T he past two weeks have been very busy for both our Ath- ena and Warrior Track and

Field teams. January 14th found the team at York University for York’s annual invitational, attended by quite a few American schools , as well as all the regular Ontario competition.

Hoping to increase their ranking in the CTAU, the teams were anxious to compete. The overall performance was excellent, with some pretty impressive individual performances as we1 1.

In the hurdles, the deadly duo of ve tcran Alicia Steele and rookie Jill Bennett both ran great raCes, placing 4th and 7th respedtively. Both ran well in the 60m sprint as well, accompanied by well sea- soned veteran Val Lingard.

The men’s sprints found the Warriors showing offa lot of brawn that seems to be turning into a whole iot of speed. Our men’s Varsity Track/Football boys were out to wreak havoc, too. The performances ranged from two personal bests for Tulu Makonen in both the 6Om and 300m, to respect- able races from Rick Shea, Mike Mallet and Tory Locker. Only in second year, Makonen has the time to be one of UW’s finest athletes.

Other notable performances came in the middle to long distance races. Woss Runstedtler ran an amazing 6OOm against the Cana- dian Olympic finalist Freddy Williams placing a close second only to Freddy in a time of 1.22.30, just off the CIAU standard.

In the 1 OOOm, T.J McKenzie, presently ranked number 1 in the country, dominated the field, leading the race from start to finish. This performance ensured McKenzie not only a gold medal, but a personal best performance of 2.28.70 and ClAU standard. In the women’s 1 OOOm Judith LeRoycap- tured the bronze in a very competi- tive field.

In the field events, the most notable performance of the day was our very own pole vaulter Jeff Miller. Going head to head with

6th in Canada the number one ranked pole vaulter in Canada, Miller placed a close 2nd, attaining both a personal best and ClAU standard. Miller is an athlete to watch in the near future. He placed 9th at the Commonwealth Games this summer in Vancouver and has aspirations to make the Canadian Olympic team.

With the exception of a little rough play in the relay ranks and an unfortunate spill (Mike Mallot) in the men’s 4x200m relay, the day was a good one for the Athenas and Warriors.

The weekend of the 20th found the team competing at the Can- American Classic in Windsor, On- tario. In the 60m qualifiers and 1500m races, Waterloo was well represented. Mike Mallet and Paul Walker both ran personal bests in the 60m while lightning fast Sarah Dillabaugh and Judith LeRoy finished 2nd and 4th respectively in the 1500m.

Both ran personal bests, Dillabaugh crushing the CIAU standard by more than four seconds. Also in the men’s 1500, T.J. McKenzie ran to a fourth place finish in a time of 3.58.73.

Athena hurdlers Jill Bennett and Alicia Steele were not to be outdone. Although not running quite at their potential, both raced tough, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively in this demanding event.

In the lOOm, we again found Sarah Dillabaugh running for her life, taking gold in the event with a 2%.64run,goodenoughforCIAU standard.

On the field, Jeff Miller was once again on top of the competition, vaulting a personal best of 5.00 m, enough for a gold medal for the day.

The 6OOm races found both our Athena and Warrior athletes pushing themselves to the max. Rookies Alison Campbell-Rogers and Brian Horgan both put in strong petiormances, each attaining a personal best in the event.

The Athenas 4x800metre relay team blew away the CIAU standard and most of the competition, placing third with three personal bests on the team from Cheryl Turner, Sarah Dillabaugh, rookie

Lise Gueivremont and an excellent first leg by experienced veteran Judith LeRoy.

The story of the day came near the end when Jason Gregoire ran his 30OOm race, Meeting stiff competition in Windsor rival Jason Boyle, Gregoire led the majority of the race with the blood-sucking Boyle hanging on his heels like a leech. Pulling away from the pack, Gregoire led Boyle around like a lost puppy. Finally, within the last half kilometre of the race, Boyle made his move, engaging Gregoire in a game of “cat and mouse.” In the end it came down to who had it left in him to out-kick the other. It must have been Boyle’s lucky day since he took first leaving the Jagoire with a silver medal.

The most impressive feat, however, had not yet taken place, as Gregoirc again took to the track to anchor the men’s 4x800 metre relay. The team was on CIAU standard pace when the baton was passed to Gregoire, thanks to some hard work from Brett Kilty who ran a personal best, Hoss Runstedtler and veteran McKenzie. Gregoire ran a 1.55.9 leg after his blazing 3000m race, not only maintaining the CIAU standard pace, but beating it by two full seconds.

The UW Track Team is now ranked 6th in Canada, which is a very impressive feat considering our lack of adequate facilities. This is accomplished by the dedication of the athletes and the awesome program created by Coach McFarlane and his extensive staff of coaches and trainers. The team appreciates you all, thanks.

The Athenas and Warriors return to Toronto on Saturday Febru- ary 4th for their meet at U of T , to show their stuff on the track and in the field. Everyone is welcome to cheer on some of UW’s finest athletes. Spectators are also invited to the Waterloo Ret Complex Satur- day morning to see the Warrior and Athena 4x800metre challenge. This race should be a lot of fun for both competitors and spectators; you could even win a prize if you think you know who will win. So put on your sneakers and support UW Track! !

Field hockev team takes silver

by Judy Sahr special to Imprint

T he Athenas made their first appearance of the indoor field hockey season this

weekend at the York Invitational Tournament. The team proved to be a strong force, placing first in their pool, and finishing second overall, out of the twelve teams entered. The first game against the Tot-onto Ladies Club showed the powerful scoring ability of the Athenas with a 9-3 win. Rachelle Brohman had four goals, Bemice Willemse had two, and Linda Mowat, Caorlyn Stark, and Judy Sahr all added one apiece.

The second game was played late in the afternoon, and the long wait between games seemed to have an effect on the Athenas. This was obvious by their slow start against the Phoenix. However, Waterloo

was able to regain their momen- tum, and dominate the remainder of the game. A goal by Sara Creighton, and another two by Bernice Willemse confirmed the 3- 1 win.

The Athenas’ third win of the tournament, over Western, placed them first in their pool. Linda Mowat put in an early goal, and the Athenas leading goal scorer, Rachelle Brohman, got a hat trick.

The final game of the touma- ment was to be played by the first place finishers of each pool. This matched the Athcnas with the under-21 provincial team (the girls from this team will be representing Ontario in Vancouver this weekend). There is no doubt that this game was the most exciting of the tournament. An early lead was taken by Waterloo with goals from Bernice Willemse, Rachel1 Brohman, and Linda Mowat. How- ever, the Ontario team caught up

and was leading the game 4-3 by the beginning of the second half. Unfortunately for their opponents, the Athenas came back and played a strong seclond half with control, speed, and quick thinking. With twenty-three seconds left in the game, Waterloo pulled through and scored with a goal by Rachelle Brohman. The game finished in a tie, and was to be decided with penalty strokes. The first round of strokes confirmed that these teams were evenly matched. Sudden death penalty strokes were the next de- ciding factor, and the Ontario team squeezed by with the win,

The first tournament for the OWIAA provincial championship will be held on February 4th and 5th at U of T, and the second tournament Marc:h 4th and 5th at West- em. After ,a strong performance this weekend, there can be nothing but success for this team.

Now that’s dedication!

Don’t move that limbo bar, you’Il be a limbo star!

by Kimberly Moser Imprint sports

A lthough their season lasts only three months, the football Warriors do not get off

easy. They spend the remaining nine

months of the year getting ready for the next season.

Various camps and practices are held throughout the year to keep the guys in shape and help them get ready for the up-coming season.

Such happenings are going on right now, as the team is holding its

annual winter workouts. These practices run three nights

a week for half an hour at a time in Red North at the PAC.

The players are expected to attend 80% of these workouts and are pushed to the extreme every night.

Aside from the practices, most of the players work-out for a couple of hours before or after on weights.

You might think that these half hour sessions three times a week are easy and just a breeze for the players, but think again.

These players work their butts

off for the entire thirty minutes, running stair;s, running sprints, skip- ping, doing, bench work and a number of other activities that are intended to improve their overall footwork and speed.

The workouts over the winter keep the guys in game shape and allow them time to improve onthe speed of theiir already quick feet.

Aside from the official team practises and workouts are the various groups of guys who work out together throughout the off-season.

Remember, the football season is only s,even months away!

HockevWarriors dress to kill by Kimberly Moser Imprint Sports

T hey needed to find a spark this wcek- end, but instead, the ice Warriors started a fire. It began Friday night as

Waterloo upset Western in an amazing come- from -behind victory.

They then continued to melt the opposition Sunday, destroying Windsor 7-t.

The four points improve the Warriors’ record to 8-6-2, good for second place in the OUAA West, two points behind first place Lauricr and Westcm.

“The win (against Western) was probably fhc most emotional for us since Laurier in the playoffs,” said assistant coach Dave Cressman after Friday’s win.

Waterloo was trailing 2-O after the first three minutes and looked to bc easy pickings for the strong Western team. However, the impending loss to this much hated team from London scemcd to inspire the Warriors. They came out of the dressing room in the second period a different team. With fire in their eyes, the Warriors began their comeback.

Geoff Rawson and Greg Allen tied it up for Waterloo with two quick goals in the first five minutes of the second period.

Western scored once again, but the War- riors would not be denied. John Wynnc tied it up, and Jason Mcvyn scored the go ahead. Adding to the excitement was Jeff Goldie’s empty netter in the last few seconds of the game. An unlikely shot, the puck cleared the rink, and is rumourcd to be the longest goal ever scored in hockey.

Assists on the night went to Brian Henry, John Wynne, Mark Cardiff, Greg Allen and Mike Chambers.

Although the Western team outsized them, Waterloo was able to overpower the Mustangs, getting in some hard checks of their own, and skating circles around the slower team.

Assistant captain John Wynne, who was

tory, was very proud of the Warriors’ efforts against Western.

“It was a huge game for us,” said Wynne. “We really came together for this one. Wcstcm is a very big team , and that’s the way they play; very physical. Maybe after tonight’s game, they won’t think we’21 bc pushovers in the playoffs.”

Wynne and the War- riors will definitely be able to prove that in a month’s time if they continue to play with the same discipline and jntensity that they did this past weekend.

On Sunday, Water- loo continued to show its

Tempers flared all over the ice, but Wa- terloo was very disciplined, and in the end cooler heads prcvailcd.

JcffGoldie, Sheldon Gilchrist, andMark Vaughn each scored twice while Geoff Rawson had the other Waterloo goal. Assists went to Geoff Rawson, Chad Palmer, Jason Mcrvyn, Greg Allen, Dean Mac Donald, Matt St. Germain, Neil Ethicr, Drew Rees and Geoff Schneider.

“I am very proud of the guys,” said head coach Don MC Kee. “They fought the entire game. This is a great hockey club, The guys seem to be very focused and the execution has gone way up.”

weight around and basically playing his heart out during both games.

Goalie Joe Harris had two great games, making some amazing saves. He looked extremely confident in net.

Steve Smith, who had been out earlier due to knee surgery in December, also saw some action this weekend.

“1 feel half decent,” said Smith after the emotional win over Western. “I would have been a lot more sore if we had lost, but I feel pretty good.”

It wasn’t all good news for the Warriors this weekend though, as some key players were hurt.

“W&c made a transition to an attitude that we have the potential to win every game if we arc well prepared.”

Defenceman Brian Henry had to leave Friday night’s game with a concussion. The severe headaches kept him out of the Wind- sor game.

Geoff Rawson was extremely prepared Another defcnceman Mark Cardiffbroke for both games. The 5’9, 175 pound right- a bone in his foot in an accident unrelated to wingcriccntrc played as if he were 6’2 and hockey. He’ll be out of the line-up for at least 250 pounds. He was all over the ice three weeks.

sore shoulder but still played in the Windsor game. Many other players are suffering from a variety of nagging injuries after these two very physical games.

Waterloo hopes to keep its three game winning streak alive as it takes on Brock tonight at 7:30 and York Sunday at 2:O0.

Coach Cressman knows that it is going to be a tough road fbr the Warriors if they want to challenge the first place teams.

“In the road to finish first,” said Cressman. “There is no finish Line. Meaning that we just have to keep going. We are just starting to peak now. We can’t play as loose with the puck as we clid against Windsor and expect a team Iike Brock or York not to capitalize on their ch.ances.”

Expect to see two great fast-paced and intense hockey games this weekend from the Warriors as they make their way to the playoffs.

Lastly, to those great Joe Harris fans, keep up the good work; you guys are awe-

SPORTS IMPRINT, Friday, January 27,1995 19

by Kimberly Moser Imprint Sports

I f you had to describe John Wynne’s time with the Water- loo Warriors, you could only

describe it as a roller coaster ride. However, throughout all the ups and downs, Wynne has remained the same simple guy he has always been.

Wynne, a native of Calgary, made his way up through the minor ranks, where hc was then drafted by the Stratford Cullitons of the Junior B league.

After playing with Stratford, Wynne went to Detroit to play Jun- ior A. The good news was that he got a lot of playing time because Detroit was an expansion team. The bad news was that the team won only 11 of 66 games.

After his time with Detroit, Wynne decided that playing for Waterloo and attending university would bc a good opportunjty for him.

“I knew Jamie Hardnett, and Cory Kecnan and I came up and I met Donnie (Don McKee}” says Wynne, who is now the assistant captain of the Warriors and one of the most intense players of every game.

“They had a great team. Donnie was a great guy, so 1 decided that this would be a great chance to play here, and I did.”

In his first year, Wynne experienced the first of his ups and downs with Waterloo.

The first “down” came during the semi-finals ofthe hockey cham-

L n Wynne: True Grit pionships.

“1 brought three sticks to the game,” says Wynne, the memory of this game still haunting him a bit today.

“Two brand new ones (sticks) and one that I had just for the heck of it. The two new ones I had were about four or five inches taller than the third stick. I broke both of the new sticks during the game. About halfway through the second period, I’m down to my third stick that is so much shorter than the other ones. Due to that, I had about four or five chances to get good shots away, and I fanned every single one of them.”

“1 got back to my dorm in rcsi- dence and thcrc were fans sitting in my room and going at me. I took a lot of abuse.” says Wynne, who laughs about it now.

Wynne had such a great year in his second season that some might consider the exclusionof his name from the All-Canadian team a down. Wynne prefers to look at it in a different light.

-“It didn’t bother me a whole lot. I think they said the last guy was Dan Brown from Queen’s, and I think he was in his fourth year. I was only in my second year and I really think to have an All-Cana- dian year you have to be an absolute standout.

“It was a good year but for a fourth-year guy who has been in the league for that long, I think they deserve it. They (fourth-year guys) have proven themselves over the years.

“The other thing was that the

coaches that made the decisions were in Ottawa, and we never play in Ottawa. So they had not seen me play. It didn’t bother me. I knew that I’d be back. Sure, you’d like to have it all the time but things don’t always go your way. I was happy for him.”

These memories were quickly forgotten this year, when Wynne was given the opportunity to play with the Canadian Olympic team.

“It was a great experience.” says Wynne, a huge smite spreading across his face. He describes it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“I already knew a couple of the guys who played in Calgary that I’d played against. One of them was the captain. I got out there and they made me feel right at home. They knew they weren’t young kids anymore, they were very mature and they handled everything so pro- fessionally. They are just a great, great bunch of guys.”

However, the biggest up will come this year if the Warriors make it to the finals. Wynne believes that this is a better Warrior team than in those of years past.

“This year’s team is a lot different than last year’s team. I think we let in a lot more goals last year. We don’t have any superstars on this team. We have four pretty bal- anced lines. On different nights different lines come up and play well. It’s just a completely different team and I’ve never been a part of a team like this.”

Just like Wynne, this year’s team has experienced its share of ups and downs, winning a couple of

the pre-season tournaments and experiencing a couple of long losing streaks in the regular season.

However, just like Wynne, the team is on an up again and is challenging for flrst place in the division.

“1 think that the team we saw this past weekend was very similar to the team that we saw earlier in the season, where everybody is fulfilling their roles and working hard.”

Up next for Wynne and the Warriors are Brock and York. I

“Weowe Brock big time,” The Duke on ice? says Wynne, wanting revenge for the third period loss they took “York, we just don’t like. Af- earficr in the season. “Brock has ter that 8-l thrashing, last time we always had a hard working team. were there !” he laughs. “They are They’re a team that, if you don’t two very big games!” work hard, they’ll beat you.

UW curlers corn&around

by Natalie Gillis Imprint sports

U W’s curling team packed up and hit the road I a s t weekend, taking on West-

ern, W.L.U., and hosts Brock in a tournament that saw excellent play by both the Athenas and the Warri- ors.

Opening competition against Laurier,the Warriors matched the Golden Hawks shot-for-shot and forced the Laurier skip to make his last shot of the game to win.

The Athenas struggled early in their match with Laurier, but pulled the score to within one point, pushing the game into an extra end. Playing flawlessly, Karyn Issler and Dawn Patterson set up ideally placed guards as vice-skip Jodi Kerr provided the cover that allowed skip Margaret Corey to perfectly execute two draws to the four foot circle, eventually turning the 9-5 score around 10-9 in their favour.

nent in game two, both Western teams boasted fine players. De- spite being equal to the task throughout the game, fighting back a 4-7 deficit to tie up the game in the tenth end, the opposing skip executed a hit on the potential winning War- rior counter, taking the win.

The Athenas played well against the Mustang women, and as with the men, only a delicate shot by the defending world champion placed the game into the “lost” column for the Athenas.

The last game for each team was against the host university, Brock. Playing convincingly, the Athenas won 1 O-l in only six ends, finishing second over-all with a 2- 1 record. The men overcame their

O-2 record to put Brock away in eight ends, with a final score of 9-3. This brought their record to l-2, allowing them to beat Brock out of the fast place spot and finish third.

Athenas take a beating by Natalie Gillis Imprint sports

I n a basketball blow-out last Wednesday, the Athenas took a beating at the hands of West-

em’s Lady Mustangs. With a final score of 85-49, the

Athenas’ win-loss record was reduced to 3-4 as the first place West- em team took advantage of their

every mistake. “There were a lot of things we

could’ve done better; we could’ve played harder.. .” said Kathy Keats after the game.

Despite their loss to Western, the Athena’s can take consolation in the fact that every other team in the league will probably be subjected to the same sort of ordeal when they tooplay against West-

em. High scorers for the Athcnas

were Lori Kraemer, at 14 points, and Sue E&is, at 12. These numbers pale in comparison, however, to the scoring of Mustangs forward Michele Vesprini, whose 29 points led the way for Western.

One can only hope that the team will shape up before their game at Laurier on, Saturday.

Atheletes of the week Sean Van Koughnett - Warrior Basketball

Sean, completing his Masters of Applied Environ- mental Studies, was instrumental in the Warriors’ wins last week; the first over Laurier, the second, Windsor. He scored 29 points, hauled down six rebounds; and had four assists in the Warriors 102-79 defeat over Laurier. Sean continued his excellent play on Sunday with 33 points, six rebounds, and three assists in a 95- 91 win.

Crooning and Spooning The Spoons with Anyhowtown

StugtJs, Kitchciler Thursday, January 19

by Greg Krafchick Imprint staff

I f there was ever a band who were quintessentially of the 80’s, it was the Spoons. They

had it all; the hair, the pastel clothes, the sensitive-man synth music, and a career that had faded away before Akmi Vkc was cancel Icd.

But now they’re back! Barely a dccadc after the glory (?) days of “Romantic Traffic” and “Tell No Lius,” they’re back on tour, pro- moting their C~llc)c~/>lc~ ~/Io~I~I.s grcatcst hits package. Now if the band took themsclvcs cvcn remotely seriously, they would have come off :ls truly pthctic, but instead they had the best attitude they could have about the whole affair. They know they’re washed-up has-beens, and arc laughing at the whole thing right along with the rest of us.

First up, however, was the To- ronto band Anyhowtown, who con- trasted with the headliners in amost striking fashion. Thcy’rc a band that has steadily grown in popular- ity since their first indie cassette (with the single “Myraga”) through to being finalists in thcCFNY search this year. And all with good reason, since they’re indeed one ofthe most

dismal new song called “Monday Morning,” but even the band ad- mi tted that “you guys don’t really want to hear that stuff, do you? You want the old hits!”

This caused the leather and hairspray-adorned late twenty to thirty-somethingcrowd(I’m22 and I felt like a little kid) to cheer in appreciation, before the band, with more than a little irony, launched into “Old Emotions.”

In fact, the tongue-in-cheek feeling ofthe whole affair was what saved the show from total disaster. As 1 said before, the band knew the score, and1 played the crowd for the suckers they were.

They got ridiculous audience sing-alongs going for “Romantic TrafW’and “Old Emotions.“They went on about the nostalgia of the whole affztir, “Man, I haven’t played that in years!” and so forth. And after all, they did do “Nova Heart” well, the one song they did that is really worth remembering.

The verdict on the whole show? Well it did indeed suck..,but then again, looking back they always did suck in the first place, so what’s the point of criticizing your musical tastes when you were twelve‘? You didn’t know any better, and you were merely listening to what was hip at the time.

Women MusZc Camilla

directed b-y Deqm Mehtu playing at the Princess Theatre

till February 2

by Johanna Neufeld Imprint staff

A love of music brings two women together in the song filled American South. Sti-

fled by others, their true feelings and emotions are too often hidden. On an impulse, they leave Georgia for a concert at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. As they encounter many new experiences along the way, they learn from each other, and the need to control their own lives.

The late Jessica Tandy plays the exuberant Camilla Cara, a former concert violinist with a pen- chant for stretching the truth. Her uninhibited character has a strong, and often vocal nature that Tandy portrays to perfection. Not once

does her ailing state appearor hinder her in one of her last roles.

Bridget Fonda is also good as Freda Lopez, a young and uncer- tain musician from Toronto. While outwardly strugglmg with her ca- rccr, her artist husband’s persistent lack of understanding takes its toll. Strained and impassive in contrast to Camilla’s breezy nature, she too does battle with herself. For both women, their freedom lies in con- fronting the reality of their exist- cnccs.

Marry Chaykin is hilarious as Camilla’s son, Harold. An obscure film director, he is highly excitable and suffers from an overactive im- agination. Elias Koteas plays Freda’s insensitive husband Vince, and the two men make a good Stan and Ollie. Together they unsuc- cessfully bumble along, trying to find their presumedly drowned and then kidnapped women. Ranjit Chowdhry adds to their humorous antics, as the laissez faire cop

The screenplay is written by novelist Paul Quarrington, and is based on the personal experiences of Ali Jennings. Quarrington has also worked on the recently released Whale Music, which is an adapta- tion of the same book.

Most of the film’s soundtrack

is by Daniel Lanois. With tremu- lous and childlike vocals, in addition to soft piano sections, the hidden doubts of Fonda’s character are well revealed. Camilla’s spirited outlook is also expressed in her lively violin pieces, but only once does the director let them perform together.

Visually Mehta concentrates

on the earth tones of rural Georgia, giving the film a crisp clarity, which is refreshing.

Filmed against this background, these two women find that music and life have a place in their worlds. For personal expression to emerge, they must search within themselves. Camilla is a delight to watch.

by Candace Bar- special to Imprint

H ad you wandered up the stairs of the Huether Hotel last Saturday night, you

would’ve foundan ocean of friendly faces gathered for a rare musical feast. The members of Habitat for Humanity invited a diverse group of musicians to Waterloo with the hope that people would come to listen to tunes, donate 5 dollars towards a good cause, and stroll home at the end of the night with a sense of both musical and chari- table satisfaction.

Here’s where the mellow at- mosphere halts and a livelier fever kicks in. Joie de Vivre jazzed the stage with energetic tunes ranging from covers by the Indigo Girls to the Leslie Spit Treeo. This colour- ful group, consisting of Matthew Bowes, Stacey Collins, Gareth Farfan, Kelly Lemon and James Rupnow, had a style similar to the

The evening began with a few excited words from the evening’s hosts, Heather Calder and Gary Pluim, filling the crowd in on the purpose of the benefit -- a fundraising project to build in Pennsylvania during reading week. Mark Stutman, an ERS student from UW, warmed the crowd as he strummed at his guitar from a quiet perch on stage. A comfortable and relaxed per- former, he sang songs he’d written himself, as well as Rolling Stones and Buffalo Springfield Just for the humanity of it.

Sweet William wafted up to the Huether’s roof beams. Band members Sarah Lichti and Lisa Sawatsky, delighted the crowd with bashful dialogue and beautiful verses about life and experience- Guest singer Rachel Schmidtjoined the group for a tune called “Close your Eyes.” The poetic lyrics, the soothing voices, the un-cut rapport with the audience... these gals oozed into the excited chatter of the bar

Bourbon Tabernacle Choir or a church revival group. At one point, lead singer Stacey Collins jumped into the crowd and started parading about like a chicken, in an attempt to get the crowd dancing.

Soul Hammer sent the crowd into a roaring, floor-board-shaking, dancing frenzy. By this time, people were piled high on the dance floor and in the loft overhead. The lights and the speakers looked like they would topple over at any moment into the smiling, sweating

crowd. Lead singer Aubrey Friesner belted out songs written by the band, as well as tunes from The Commitm’ents soundtrack, with soulful intensity.

Using bass, guitar, drums, keyboards, saxophone, blues harp, trombone and trumpets, this band of Engineers wound the crowd into a unified state of euphoric bliss. What makes this feat even more inspiring is the fact that the band members -- Frank Babic, Ben

Coulson, Alex Fessier, Aubrcy Friesner, Waren Gross, Steve Houlahan, Elrent Ruboli and Jim Waller -- haven’t had much time to practice. Co-op placements pull the group apart every four months, making practice sessions difficult to arrange. Watch for a release from Soul Hammer in the future as they recorded a demo in Fur- nace Face’s studio several months ago.

The final group to cross the stage was a Celtic band from Ham- ilton calledThe Immigrants. Band members Fred Geus, Paul Hogeterp, Rob Van Hardingsvelt and Pete Zantingh maintained the level of intensity that Soul Ham- mer ignited. Everyone and their proverbial diog danced a jig and hollered wit:h delight. Sweat glis- tened the window panes of the

Huether Hotel and people continued to dance with vigor. When last call came and the last encore was sung, the aud-ience began to trickle out of the Huether onto the snow- covered streets of Waterloo. Back to reality.

Special commendation should go to all the planners, voIunteers, and sponsors of the concert. For a couple of hours, the audience were able to enjoy a dose of musical entertainment in the name of harmony and social responsibility.

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE The Age of Electric

The Imprint Interview

by Pat Merlihan Imprint staH

I f you haven’t heard of The Age of Electric, fear not because it’s probably for good reason. Pres-

ently the Regina pop mctallers are on the road supporting Sass Jordan after only just finally getting around to releasing a 5-song EP, jr’he Ugly EP, that was recorded a solid twa years ago.. If As such, the tour is called The Ugly Tour, being coupled ct al with Jordan% successful IICW single “Ugly.” Witty stuff indeed.

After subjecting myself to the Bob Rock produced 7%~ &l-y KF’, which came with heady recommendation from none other than MEA T Magazine itself, I rcccntly had the “good” fortune to speak with Age of Electric guitarist Ryan Kerns.

The band is on the record as calling thcmsclves “ridiculously in- dcpcndcnt,” so I felt it incumbent to ask, precisely, their reasons for rc- cruiting Vancouver producer-to- the-Stars Bob Rock. Rock, after all, is rcsponsiblc for the slick produc- tion of bands such as Thc,Cult and Motley Crue -- hardly what you’d consider & I*igzdeur for a sclf-pro- claimed “ridiculously independent” rock band. Arc The Age of Electric going afltcr The Brass Ring?

“WC actually produced it ourselves. Bob Rock just paid for it. He basically gave us two months alone in a studio and he put his two cants in, but let us do whatever we wanted to do. That’s how WC work best. WC take anybody’s advice but he put up the money for it.”

As for Rock’s intentions -- what, after all, would he be doing putting up cash for a band with little measurable track record -- Ryan simply states that Rock, “just liked the band.” Simple. Or so it would seem.

Wasn’t the band perhaps a little skeptical about Rock putting up cash and letting such unknowns do “whatcvcr [they] wanted?”

“We’ve never liked the idea of owing anybody money, As far as having him involved, it only mat- ters if the guy makes us sound like his favourite band. A lot of people think ‘Bob Rock, the producer’ and automatically pigeonhole what he is going to do. What he does with your project is different from another project+ I think he is a good producer for what he does.”

I ask if the relationship was a good one. Ryan rep1 ies immediately that it was “vcr-y positive.”

Nevertheless, the band is on record as saying they’d never go the Bob Rock route again. Appar- ently, they’re disappointed with the clean, crisp, sound Rock brought to the EP, but: it sounds exactly like the sort of unctuous sound Rock brings to lzll of his recordings, the sort of slickness that is Rock’s bread-and-butter. Ryan is stupefied.

“Oh.. . I guess it did come across that way but I think it was more so in the decisions we made, and during those times we were shuffling our feet whether we were going to be compromising what we were doing. That wasn’t to do with Bob

Rock, but more to do with record and offered them a chance.” As for vincial and sickly ‘70’s? companies.. . ie.,Are wegoing to be their “jumping into bed” so quickly “Yeah, lots of times. I think it sell-outs, etceteru? Yeah, you’re with Rock... doesn’t matter though. Sometimes totally right to have picked up on “Yeah, I mean, maybe that was it sounds stupid to me, and other that. At that point we were kind of our mistake. Everything just seems times it sounds blatantly original. J bitter and not sure of ourselves.” to fall into place, We had a video don’t hear a lot of bands called

What about this “ridiculously and an independent release. That anything like that,” independent” stuff? Their bio sheet was way back in late 199 I. It was Perhaps there’s a good reason mentions that the decision to go pretty rare to have an independent for that... with Rock stemmed from a belief release out at that time. We were “Think of all those fucking and motivation that “the band hoped being distributed all over the place, bands with one word names like Rock’s reputation would help them through Sam’s and HMV, but do- Chair or StooI,” he continues. “I land a Big Deal.” Ryan doesn’t see ing it ourselves. At that point Bob hate those.,. It’s almost like names any inconsistency between the two statements.

“That’s the kind of attitude I think Nirvana had, Do exactly what you want and still try to land a deal. I’d love to be a big band. I’d love to be as big as Madonna, and I’ll never deny thai. I hate people that say that anything big sucks! I’m disgusted with that attitude.”

said not to do anymore until finishing the recording of the new album. So we decided that’s what we would do. Then a year went by, and he wasted our time. But that’s as much our fault because we should have kept going instead of waiting.” -

So is The Age of Electric, after putting their superstar career aspi-

arc becoming as trendy as music is. I just really have an extreme hatred forthat kind ofthing, Iike an “altem- ative” and college mentality, where it’s only good if it’s the newest fucking thing on the block. I have a real bitterness towards that mentality. It’s only good if it’s on the outside... disgusting alternative thing.” [???I -

conversation about Rock’s produc- tion, I ask why the feisty in- dependents agreed to record for Rock and then proceed to sit around twiddling their thumbs,,fir ufz entire year, while Rock worked on other projects. Hello!?! Did this have anything to do with Rock?

‘Yes,” Ryan responds sternly, Why didn’t: the band just tell

Rock to fuck off then, and start recording via other options?

“Well that’s why I had such bitterness towards him, which is probably what you picked up on in the articles. I’m glad not too many other people picked up on that. It turns out in the end that he helped us more than anything else. You come to the realization that somebody isn’t going to come and tell you what to do. You’re going to use whatcvcr you can to get a record deal, Automatically, you say,stdre, why not?”

Whatever... “I was young and I thought [by

having Rock produce] I was going to be big... I would sit back and just write songs.”

The interview wasn’t exactly an ambush but, truth be told, The r/g/y EP isn’t cxactIy what you’d call “Year End List” material, so I asked Ryan what might’ve im- pressed Rock towards them in the first place.

“We had a video playing on MuchMusic and his wife saw it. She saw it a couple of times and really liked it.”

Vdu.., a little spousal nudge and wink and a star is born. Ryan tells me Rock “approached them

rations on hold for a year, happy with the sound Rock produced?

“No, I’m not. I’m happy with it that there are five songs that are good enough. We couldn’t expect Bob to pay for more than he already had. That’s the reason there are only five songs. All we had was ten grand.”

Ten grand? “Actually,..[shetzpishpuuse],..

more than that.” Since he’d already compared

The Age of Electric to Nirvana, I’m prompted to mentionNirvana’s de- but album, BZea&, cost only $600 to record and produce. Ryan fails to respond. What is it about the sound that they’re so disappointed in...? It sounds so typically corporate Bob Rock that I fail to see their disap- pointment. Hadn’t they listened to his other works beforehand?

Ryan answers by droning on about their poor work ethic, then bragging about mixing the songs at Bryan Adams house, then offers more insightful stuff about how cool it was wasting valuable studio time to *‘hang out with Aerosmith.”

In there somewhere, Ryan has an epiphany : “We were fucking around. Given the chance, that’s cxactiy what guys do.” In the same breath, he starts blubbering about “his utmost respect for Bob Rock.”

Having exhausted the topic of Bob Rock, I enquire about the band’s ingenious name, The Age of Electric. After six years, might there be some regret and thoughts of changing the name to something that sounds, erm, slightly less pro-

i

so-called “alternative” music, Surprisingly, Ryan claims

to love “alternative” music. What’s he listening to these days?

“Urn, well, nothing alternative as you would classify it.”

Isn’t “alternative” a rather am- biguous term these days? What does Ryan consider alternative?

“I’m talking about T-Rex or Prince. That is real alternative to me. I’m aware of almost any band that comes out though. Name a few

alternative bands?” [Now Ryan’s turned interviewer.. .]

I dunno, Scbadoh, Pavement, Liz Phair... they seem to be pretty popular.

“Oh, I’ve heard of Liz Phair. I like her. AI1 I’m saying is that if it is “al t emative” or “rock” or “country,” -- if the music is original it is original -- and ifit’s not, it’s not. I find this “alternative-head” attitude is as bad as Metallica fans when fans only like Metallica. Fuck that! T hate that! I still like Michael Jackson, or even the Beatles.”

Yikes. Ryan seems miffed -- fucking college scribes-- so I divert questioning to the topic of the Sass Jordan tour. How does the reality of her measure up to the bad-ass attitude she projects on TV?

“I’ve never met her. But I met her band, they’re nice guys. They took us on her bus for a tour. Man, I want to get one of those. They’re wicked. They have, like, two VCR’s and TVs...”

An obviously star-struck Ryan suddenly seems to catch himself, then goes ballistic. “You have a lot of preconceptions about music,” he snaps angrily before turning interviewer again. Wow old are you, anyway? [ Prtw4mptuously] You’re more interested in fashion and style. There is more to music than the outside. There is a lot oforiginality in her songs, and you have to respect somebody that is liked by that many people. We like her music, so she must be O.K.”

Wrapping up the interview by thanking Ryan for his time, he surprisingly thanks me, ack- nowledging, “Those were some good questions! Some things I’ve never thought about before. You know, people make mistakes and you’re only human, I guess.”

Indeed. Ultimately, all is not lost. The

Age of Electric, as this interview might infer, could well provide the text book on how NOT to succeed through “ridiculous independence.” If anything, T’le UgZy E‘P is anything but independent and, above all else, just plain “ridiculous.”

Kill Rock Stars is an independ- cnt label based in the town that has become the capital city of punk, Olympia, Washington. This is their third compilation reiease since they began in 199 1. The earlier releases (called Kill Rock Stars, and Stars Kill Rock) featured then unknowns Nirvana, The Melvins, and 7 Year Bitch. Now the label is gaining more acclaim as the home to Bikini Kill, and their special spoken word vinyl releases.

The agenda of these albums is to feature bands who don’t want to become rock stars (I guess that makes the Nirvana song fairly ironic, huh?). They play music just for the music. Most of the bands appearing do so on super-obscure labels. However with this collection it appears as if placing a song on a Kill Rock Stars’ compilation has become en vogue.

More popular bands such as Lollapalooza openers The Boredoms, Kim Gordon’s side project Free Kitten, and indie darlings The Spinancs show up on this release. The Boredoms contribute a typical track “Pukulcc & Rikulee” which is a serious noise-fest.

I guess it’s a testament to their songwriting and pro- duction. ’

ally drew me into their music. Unlike most standard punk fair the vocals are at the front of the mix. Does that mean that the singer, Matt Wright, has a great voice? Actually, no. He does have a good growl but it’s the way he changes his timbre during the bridges and the choruses that adds a neat dra- matic effect to his vocals. This added to the fact that the lyrics are

easily heard makes singing along that much more fun.

The lyrics are generally throw- aways but they do provide some entertainment in themselves. “Ap- pendix Gone” is about the story of an appendectomy performed at sea and what happens to the discarded organ afterward. In “Action/Ad- venture” the singer takes on the persona of a secret-agent and man- ages to use every spy-movie cliche possible. “What’s In The Bag?” is also interesting and it has amelody- that-sticks-in-your-head-forever quality which makes it the song you hate to love. The band also delves into the world of witchcraft and voodoo in songs like “Chicken Foot” and “Hand of the Nomad”.

number (hardly a departure) called “Stupid Crazy.” Free Kitten offers something which is much more listenable than what appears on their full length release.

There are a lot of good songs on this album but there are a few dogs among the 23 featured. The screeching “We Are Not Your En- tertainers” by the Mukilteo Fairies is thankfully short and the band Tourettes is aptly named.

However this album is a pleasant listen. Rancid serves up “Brixton” which has a definite ska feel. “37 Pushups” by Smog stands out from the rest as well.

It’s also good to see some.Ca- nadian bands getting some exposure south of the border. Vancou- ver’s Grouse Mountain Skyride gives the compilation a nice hill- billy flavour while Toronto’s Fifth Column provides some spooky organ grooves.

The closer “I Wish I was Him” is an acoustic number by Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna. It’s notable only for the fact that it describes me almost perfectly. It’s not a compliment but it’s an enjoyable song anyways. It’s the perfect description ofwhat all ofthese bands aren’t.

To begin with this record isn’t exactly new, it’s been out since late last fall but I decided to review it anyway ‘cause it’s pretty good.

Each of Danzig’s previous albums has had its own distinct style, from Zeppelin rip-off, to powerhouse rock, to just plain mediocre metal. Danzig #p is just as different as any of the others; there’s alot more crooning on this record and the overall ef5ect is slower and more vocal oriented. Once again Glenn Danzig wrote all the songs, and the record was produced by Rick Rubin for his new American Recordings label.

“Brand New God,” the opening track, and “Bringer of Death” are the two songs most like Danzig’s previous work in the rock’n’roll/ metal vein; they are by far the heavi- est tracks on the album, “Bringer of Death” being the stronger df the two. Everything else on this recoid

Green’s New Wilderness, as sung by a sleazy lounge act. A less than flattering version. Both “Ice Cream” and “Mary” are remark- ably similar, with the later sounding a tad more somber that theFum- biing To ward Ecstacy version. “Elsewhere” is a completely different song in its early form. As an unrecognizable psychedelic folk number, it pales in comparison. “Good Enough” is filled with those emotionally wrought vocalsone has come to expect from Sarahbut “Ice” drags itself along to a slow death.

The final message: buy the polished album for a fine treat. While this is an interesting docu- mentation of the creative process, it offers few pleasant musical surprises and remains a must have for Sarah enthusiasts only.

is more of a departure. There are lots of slow bluesy ballads on here, songs like “Little Whip,” “Son of the Morning Star,” and “Going Down to Die.” “Cantspeak” is probably the catchiest tune on the album. This song has the singer doing strange things with his voice and singing in a very unDanziglike manner. For once he sounds alot less evilthan he usually does; I guess he’s trying to show off his vulner- able side. Aside from the bonus track, the only other song of any note would be the aptly named “Sadistikai,” aptly named because this slow industrial type dirge gets more and more painfully boring each time I hear it.

The rest of the material on this disc is pretty unexciting, not bad or anything, just not very exciting. This record makes for good background music; it’s languid and dark, almost Gothic, and Danzig’s voice accents everything perfectly. The sort of album one plays right before going to bed.

The CD skips through the fifty blank tracks at the end until it comes to rest at track 66, the bonus track, the .Track-Without-A-Name. Defi- nitely scary stuff kids.

1 shouldseriously have my head examined for not having reviewed this a long, long time ago when it first came out. My apologies to you, dear reader, for making you wait until now to hear about this fine release.

Tristan Psionic are the ener- oetic youths behind Hamilton’s t-3 Sonic Unyon label, and as such have helped revitalize that city’s musical “scene.” While there are some excellent bands on the Sonic Unyon label, Tristan Psionic remain the coolest, and Feves shows us why.

Tristan Psionic, however, aren’t just another bunch of pretty faces. Their musical flexibility al- lows them to create a record with beautiful pop morsels like “25 cents” alongside loops ofbackwards samples on “Pslop” and longer works like the six minute “Trans- mission.”

Although Tristan Psionic have recently been laying low, last year’s tour and Sonic Unyon compilations have helped them make a name for themselves, and if they realize their full potential, they may very well give the Sloan/Eric’s Trip East coast scene a run for its money.

The songs, mostly brief 3- As good as some baked beans minute pop wonders, are free from without those clumps of gooey the bass-heavy funk style that too white shit.

much of Southern Ontario finds so cool. Instead, they stick with a brighter sound that relies on simple chords and unpretentious melodies. On top of that, there are some genuinely heart-felt lyrics that have that comforting “been there, done that” feel.

Everything from the me- thodic beat, to the heavy bass lines to the rough hewn vocals sound like Alice In Cha- ins.

With Gord Prior’s familiar sounding ban- shee wail it will be difficult for London, On- tario natives, Blu Bones to escape the Alice In Chains label. Even with ti lead vocalist that does

Critics sometimes fall into the trap of using the “this band sounds just like (list band names here)” formula. Granted this can be a lazy cop out, but sometimes it can help to describe a band to the reader. How many times have you asked somebody what a band sounded like only to get a response listing two or three other bands?

Now, while I never do this (tongue planted firmly in cheek), the sound of Blu Bones and their debut albumSi& begs the obvious.

sound like Layne Staley, the melodic heavy metal tempo of Alice In Chains is a sound that Blu Bones does not try too hard to shy away from.

Wearing your influences on your sleeve is not always a good career move, but Blu Bones do it quite well. This foursome will no doubt have great appeal to all the hard rock fans out there. With classic rock stations embracing grunge fully, Blu Bones is in a very lucrative position. Blu Bones and their dirge like sound propel Sink slowly forward into some charted but, none the less, enjoyable wa- ters.

Part of human nature is to classify things. While Blu Bones will no doubt be classified under the grunge label, their music is steeped

by Tim Lemieux special to Imprint

I have to admit I had never heard of this band when I sat down to listen to them. I asked around, and neither had anybody else.

So I tried to go into it with an open mind, not really knowing what to expect. Reading the liner notes, I noticed that David Lowery (of Cracker and Camper van Beethoven) was one of the produc- ers, so I was sort of optimistic.

With song titles like “Dance of the Lollipop Faeries” and “Cartoon Train” I imagined that it would be kind of quir;ky and upbeat. Not so. They may be from down south, but their hearts are in Seattle.

Most of the songs consist of vocals which are either distorted or have that slacker\whiny quality of Dinosaur Jr. And with subjects that range from “‘being oppressed by the system” and “what a waste my life has been”, this album didn’t exactly give me a new appreciation or enthusiam for life.

I’m not saying that this is a bad album. Some of the guitar riffs are catchy.

A few songs, such as “Black 60”, sound like Sugar with a bit of Pixies in the background. But I just felt I’d heard it a million times before.

There is nothing really new here, but people who like their music a little grungy may want to give this a listen. I don’t, so subse- quently I found the music to be a little tiresome.

I still don’t know much about the The Technical Jed, but I would bet they wear a lot of plaid.

more in the sound of early heavy metal, whic!h songs like the lead off track “Big Pooh” will attest to. But about the songs, which is the real issue here. Every song is laden with heavy guitar riffs and Gord Prior’s sorrowful vocals. Even the loud vocal and guitar workouts carry a large degree of depth. This is no ordinary rock band here. “Soul Power” is an instant classic as is the intense “‘You’re lnsanc,” with it’s slow lead in. Unlike many of those big hair band hard rock bands, Blu Bones breeds a powerful brand of rock devoid of the ever present heavy metal cliches.

The rap/heavy rock cross of “Real World” is an interesting de- viation from the generally constant sound of Sr’nk. Prior spits out the words in rapid fire succession, but the presentation leaves something to be desired. The pounding beat of “Once In A While” is a true rockers delight while the acoustic sounding “Happy (For Keith)” will appease fans with an ear for heavy but mellow sounds.

The band have their feet placed firmly on the ground. A combination of a polished presentation and some fabulous songwriting, ena- bles Blue Bones to project a heavy sound that still retains its radio marketability despite the altema- tive label it will no doubt get. Gord Prior and guitarist Boris Novosel bear the brunt of the writing chores to a high degree of success. Cre- ated “the old fashioned way using analog and tube technology,” Sink is a powerful album deserving at- tention from hard rock fans.

Although the term “rock music” covers a rather wide field, with thousands of bands creating wildly varied music, the key instruments remain largely the same: vocals, drums, guitar and bass. Every once in a while you might throw in some keyboards andthat prettymuchcov- crs 99% of the bands out there right now.

There are some exceptions: the insane, such as Daniel Johnston and the genuinely eclectic, such as Mor- phine. Now we can add Smog, a four piece band which adds Cello and Violin atop the standard drums and guitars.

The minimalist packaging be- lies a richly textured sound which is best displayed on the opening track “My Shell.”

Somewhat like the last Arch- ers of Loaf E.P., “My Shell” begins with a minute of rising feedback. When the song proper begins, the sound of the guitars with the ccl10 and violin crcatcs a truly original and beautiful sound.

While both the ceIlo and violin have been a part of rock music for a long time, they are too often ad- denda to the backbone of a b;lnd’s music. With Smog, they arc given the same promincncc as the rest of the band to a very jarringly novel effxt.

At the same time, this unique: outcome isn’t ovcrplaycd. Thcccllo andviolinarcn’tcvcruxcdasstrictly novelty items to bc exploited, but do no more or less than any other more standard instruments.

“Burning Kingdom” dctnon- strates a surprisingly varied musical style for an six-song E.P. While “My Shell” is the obvious standout, “Rencc Died 1:45” is a brief but moving minimalist piece, and “Not Lonely Anymore” is slightly more mainstream in its sound, but no less fascinating in its lyrical and musical maturity.

While their sound will probably remain too eclectic for mainstream radio, Smog could very well grow into one of the darlings of the alternative circuit, and deservedly so.

Vancouver’s Slowburn were one of the best Canadian indic acts going last year. Their independent album Jjlarktxi gives you a solid taste of what to expect live. Heavy guitar pop at its finest.

The vocals range from a
