She urged senators to allocate nancial difficulty in the next 10 months .” She said that the funding is only temporary as a “concretiza- tion of immigration policy, and recognition of international stu- dents as belonging to a special category distinct from ‘visitors’, will likely take place by next May, thus relieving the current crisis.”

-Food co-op.- needs tie/p ’

The Waterloo Food Store Co- operative was established earlier this year to serve the needs of the members of the Waterloo Food Co-operative who wished to main- tain the casual store atmosphere for both themselves and the commun- ity.

While not opposed to the idea of totally self-sufficient member co- operation as in the pre-split co- operative it was obvious many people did not maintain their work allotments, or in some cases de- cided their particular expertise could be used more advantage- ously in other volunteer enter- prises .

For this reason and in order to facilitate a perceived lack of effi- ciency in the labour distribution of the old system, we chose to finan- cially support an individual to co- ordinate member work allotments and to increase store hours to allow community participation.

However, at this point in time the store has failed to be open for Saturday sales for a number of weeks. I have been unable to con- tact anyone who knows precisely what the situation is but there is little doubt the present -arrange- ment is not working.

I suspect problems of labour dis- tribution are the result of a mis- perception of the role of the co- ordinator. The role was created to expedite ordering procedures, simplify bookkeeping and give someone financial independence so we could increase store hours but the person was not intended to run the whole show. Member co- operation is still needed to maintain low operating costs .

I appeal to co-operative store members still interested in the con- tinuation of the store or any other persons interested in getting qual- ity whole foods, (flours, rice, herbs, honey, etc .) at as low prices as possible to contact me: Ralph Kofler, 885-1368 and let’s get the show running permanently.

I will open the store all day this Saturday to get some of the food out of the store and into people’s kitchens but it won’t open again if there is not more support.

I urge everyone interested to come to the co-op, located on the

*3rd floor of the Laurel industries building across from the Waterloo Post Office at Bridgeport and Re- gina, to come Saturday, it may be the last time you see the place.

“At first the rapidly increasing number of students coming into the office baffled us, but after consulta- tion with advisors from other uni- versities, we felt that International Student Offices are currently fac& ing a crisis and emergency situa- tion.”

Rempel said the reason for this situation is “duelargely to the vag- aries and confusion in interpreta- tion of current immigration pol- icy. ” “The proposed new policies- (Green Paper) have brought immig- ration problems into glaring light, and until future policies are con- cretized, the. confusion can only mount,” she added.

Furthermore, this confusion sub- jects foreign students to “much criticism and fairly heated discus- sion,” Rempel said. This, in turn, will hamper foreign students in ad- justing to Canadian universities since already they have “encoun- tered hostility and discrimination in very unexpected places even here at the university.”

funds for-foreign students who are cut off remittances they expected from home since “a student here on a student visa, who finds himself suddenly without support has al- most no recourse but to return home.” An outcome which would probably endanger- the student’s chances of ever attaining a post- secondary degree.

In addition to personal reasons, a foreign student might be cut off funds due to “political situations, such as those existing presently in Rhodesia, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Chile” which makes it impossible for a student to receive the support he had anticipated, Rempel said.

“Current interpretation of im- migration laws makes it virtually impossible for a student caught in these circumstances to obtain-even temporary or part-time employ- ment, and often they are forced to return home only months away from completing their education. ”

Rempel said that because of these difficulties faced by foreign students, senate should provide grants up to $1,000 per student to those who are in “emergency fi-

John Shortall, Federation of Students president, told senate that due to the current crisis there should be a full-time international student advisor instead of a part- time one to handle the complaints and requests of students.

He asked senate to recommend that the International Student Of- fice be a separate entity rather than a part of the Counselling Services Group, a position whch leaves it “susceptible to budget cuts- with- out regard for its role beyond just the area of Counselling.”

Senate referred the student-aid request to its committee on student assistance, and promised to look into the federation demand for a full-time international student ad- visor and a separate International Student office.

However, Sinclair hedged when asked how safe the tritium (a sub- stance used to produce fusion) was when left over from the fusion reac- tion. He admitted the substance was “one of the most miserable chemicals we have to deal with”.

The nuclear fusion process has been patented in the United States by KMS Industries. At present Sinclair is seeking the Canadian pa-

Experts were sure at one time that the process wo_uld not be de- veloped for commercial use until the year 2000. Sinclair is now sure he will be able to reap profits from the process within the next five years.

His fusion research project will go ahead with the help of $50 mill- ion that Sinclair is confident he can raise. “Just the other day the fed- eral minister of trade and com- merce, Alister Gillespie called me up and asked if there was some- thing he could do for me,” Sinclair said.

His fusion process is not aimed at producing electricity ; Instead, Sinclair wants to produce the more profitable methane to be shipped to

the process are limestone and ox- ygen, and both substances will be profitably sold to the steel mills.

Sinclair noted there were many other uses of the fusion process. Other than the possibilities for pro- ducing electricity, researchers have successfully grown yeast from a methane base. Sinclair grandly talked of the engineer re- placing the agriculturalist as the producer of the world’s food.

In Sinclair’s eyes the engineer may in the future be savior of the j world. According to Sinclair The Limits to Growth was “a pile of garbage” because it was written by scientists, not engineers. The Limits to Growth modeled popula- tion growth against the remaining undiscovered natural resources and found there would be chronic shortages of many materials before the twenty-first century.

Sinclair insisted that with the engineer’s help there are almost un- limited supplies of matural, re- sources in the earth’s crust. L

SinClair closed on a more serious note by warning of the importance of the fusion process being adapted for the production of electricity. Power could be produced on a much more decentmlized basis than it is today. The expansive power grids we have today ‘ ‘are inviting trouble- from radicals who want to destroy our society.” They could raise “considerable havoc” by blowing up a few strategic power lines and throw much ,of the continent into darkness as happened during the great blackout in November 1965. Sinclair felt “Fusion is an answer for many of Canada’s problems and all I need is $50 million”.

Lou Reed Live RCA records

Lou Reed’s latest release is his second live album; the first being Rock W Roll Animal. It was recorded at Howard Stein’s Academy of Music in New York City. “Live” is also Lou’s sixth album since the Velvet Underground disbanded. Over those six albums Lou has moved from the heavy metal sound of the Velvet Underground to the role-of rocker on his first solo album, Lou Reed; to the glitter queen with Transformer; into the total story of an event in his life on Berlin; then back to heavy metal rock for Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal; and finishing as the leather dressed stud of Sally can’t Dirnce. With new band members Lou Reed now presents his latest musical consciousness.

“Live” shows us basically two sides of Lou; those being his rock side, and his glitter side. The front cover pictures him in leather and posed exactly the same as the painting on the cover of “Sally Can’t Dance’ ’ . Naturally the style of music represented here is straight driving rock, with few frills. The other musical side is from Lou’s Transformer days, and the back cover pictures him as some kind of omni-sexual being, hair cut scalp short, with sunglasses of silver and black, and wearing a glitter like sweater. Half of the songs on Live come from Transformer; those being ‘ ‘Walk On The Wild Side, Vicious, and Satellite Of Love.”

Two other songs are from Berlin; Lou Reeds best work in my opinion; and these songs are “Oh Jim, and Sad Song.” The only remaining song is “I’m Waiting For The Man,” a piece that I couldn’t find the source for.

I think that the style of Live is accurate of what Lou and his band are doing right now. The music is good straight rock’n’ roll, which is great for a party but I was disappointed to hear some of these songs done with less-sophistication than the original studio ver- sions. This presents a certain conflict forpeople who enjoy good music and who are also big fans of Lou Reed. The musicians are good. Their playing is pow- erful, clean and flawlessly executed. The band is re- ally together, and playing it that way. Lou changes

personnel practicallly every album and he always makes sure that they take his music, and his musical moods seriously. I enjoy the music on this album; the guitars, the percussion, and the keyboards; because it moves, it rocks.

Unfortunately Loulacks the clean backing vocals and the conscientious production that people like David Bowie put into Transformer, and Bob Ezrin put . into Berlin. Naturally a live rock sound will take away some of the polish that these studio albums were given, however I think that Lou might use a couple of background singers on his tour. GThe backgrounds on pieces like “Walk On The Wild Side”, (Lou Reed’s most famous piece, and the one that really established him as an artist), and “Satellite Of Love”, are terri- ble. Even Lou seems to push himself somewhat, so that his voice becomes pressured more, and shakier , than usual. .

The best piece is “Sad Song”, from Berlin; because Lou’s voice comes out strongest here, and the band really work themselves. The least well done piece, for me, is “Oh Jim”, again from Berlin, because it is stretched out to almost eleven minutes and repeats itself over and over again within this time. The musi- cians prove themselves well enough without having to go through this.

Lou Reed, Live, is a short album, (38 minutes and 39 seconds), and one gets the impression that its pur- . pose is mostly one of filler until Lou can get together another album of new material. Generally I would recommend it only for avid Lou Reed fans, and within that group those people who really enjoy his hard rock. , !

PostScript: Not wanting to seem chauvinistic, but the June 1975 issue of Oui magazine carries an excel- lent article on Lou Reed. It traces from his roots in New York right up to his present rock theme. It gives a good perspective on this man who was weened on dope, quiet revolution, heavy metal music, and Andy Warhol. It’s recommended reading if you are looking for an interesting character study.

Out in ’ the cosmos- . Mahavishnu Orchestra Visions of the Emerald Beyond Columbia Records

This album is the second release by the second Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are headed by Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, who writes all but one of the pieces for the album. This has been the usual format for both “Or- ches tras ’ ’ , so that the new band does not sound radically_ different from the first one.

The differences come in the fact that this second band is composed of 11 people, compared to 5 in the original Orchestra. The eleven, a few of them followers of McLaughlin’s guru Sri C himony , allow the band to include a fairly extensive string section and a brass section. There are also more vocalists in this band. These additions all complement the traditional guitars, percussion, and keyboards. ’

Because of such a large and varied line-up the sound is, at times, truly orchestral. The vocalists also fill out the sound with both a soloist and choir-like sound. It is in these points that we find the difference between the present band and the first Mahavishnu Orchestra. Of course at other times the “stars”’ emerge with their musical solos, and the music is more electric jazz, and closer to the sound of the first band.

The performance on “Visions” is excellent, all musi- cians being very competent, and quite together as a band. I suppose that it would be necessary to see them live in order to conf3-m this. John McLaughlin plays less than he usu- ally has in the past, but his pieces are generally-as clean and precise as always. McLaughlin usually overkills with speed guitar and distortion, however on this album he blends more with the band members and seems to put his mind more on just playing good music.

Of special note is the addition to the band of Jean-Luc Ponty, the master of violin, who has played with a wide variety of people and bands in the past. His accomplish- ments range from classical work to work of Frank Zappa’s “Overnight Sensation “~album. Ponty’s usual style is to appear as a guest soloist for different groups, however his position with the Mahavishnu Orchestra appears to be somewhat more permanent. We shall have to wait to see what Ponty does in the future, but he is touring with the band at present. Ponty’s role in the Orchestra is quite large, second to McLaughlin it seems. His solos are fre-

quent and dynamic, providing an important asset to this band.

The music is a typical product of John McLaughlin; that being generally complex themes set by mixtures of electric and acoustic instruments. The breaks are often quite radi- cal shifts in mood and tempo, both between songs and within songs. His favourite style is that of taking a basic ground theme, and then laying on top of this the different solo themes. These additions both complement the piece and also take it in another slightly different direction than the piece had previously been moving along. The solo performances on “Visions” are mostly quite good, and include bath acoustic and electric instruments.- These solos are mainly by McLaughlin and Ponty , and provide a pleasant break to the complexity that typifies the album

There are a few pieces that deserve special attention. ‘ ‘Eternity’s Breath Part 1” features a dominant Jean-Luc Ponty on violin, which switches to McLaughlin’s guitar work for “Part 2”‘of the same song. On the whole though this is an orchestral piece, a powerful song which introduceswork by everyone in the band, including some

excellent choir work by the vocalists. .

“Pastoral” is a piece by McLaughlin on acoustic guitar which also offers some beautiful violin and backing string work. It is a very soft and melodic tune. The song is representative of many of McLaughlin’s works in that it

‘has no real beginning and no real end. That is, the cut sounds as if it is only the middle taken out of a much larger, and complete piece. There are a couple of other songs on this album which follow a similar style, one of those being “Faith”, a song that follows right after Pastoral..

The second side begins with “Cosmic Strut”, the only piece on the album which is not written by McLaughlin. It is a bouncy, quick, “strutting” song written by the band’s drummer, Michael Walden. This man is a good solid vex= satile drummer, and he appears to be the third most out- standing member of the band.

A short song which cuts in right after Cosmic Strut is, “If I Could See,.” It’s a nice vocal piece which also features the brass section of the group. I think that this type of music could be used a bit more on future Mahavishnu . Orchestra albums, to their benefit.

,

“Earth Ship” is a slow going song, almost giving the impression of our Earth travelling through space; con- stantly, securely, eternally. It is a very beautiful piece which conveys very nicely McLaughlin’s intended theme.

The last theme songs have both their good and bad points. They combine so that all three make one long , piece. The titles are, “Pegasus, Opus 1, and On The Way . Home To Earth.” It begins with a “spacey” electronic sound of echoing signals and tones phasing back and forth. This leads into some speedy guitar work by John McLaughlin, however the sound, for me, is not enjoyable as he distorts it horribly, and with little taste. The Opus 1 piece is only 21 seconds of violins playing up a scale. Finally we have On The Way Home To Earth, a piece which McLaughlin dominates. It gradually builds toward a very powerful climax but then stops just short of reaching the top. I was left feeling quite empty and incomplete by this ending.

The music of each separate piece is generally quite good, however this album lacks total composition, a musi- cal theme to tie it together. It jumps from song to song with very little taste or smoothness. The radical changes are often quite unpleasant, and to me this has always been the major flaw in Mahavishnu John McLaughlin’s writing and producing.

The music however is sincere, progressive, and well executed so that “Visions Of The Emerald Beyond” is a good album for those of you who have been into the elec- tric hybrids of jazz that have emerged over the past few years. The Mahavishnu Orchestra still remains one of the most important of these bands, even though the competi- tion is getting harder.

What’s Up Dot? The Longest Yard

It’s unfortunate that Barbara Streisand doesn’t sing more songs in the movie, What’s Up Dot?, which played at the Majestic Theatre. With a piano accompaniment by Ryan O’Neil, who plays a naive Doctor of Musicology, Barbara Streisand, the trouble-making girl who is after the

Doctor, euphoniously accomplishes the Cole Porter tune, “If you’re the Top, I’m the Bottom.”

The film is a zany comedy, written and directed by Peter Bogdonovich. It’s assets lay in the actors and the acting, because the story is not really strong enough to support itself. Streisand makes her audience laugh again with her subtle humour andinnocent chicanery as she did in her last comedy, For Pete’s Sake, in which she starred with Michael Sarrazin. Ryan O’Neil, who made his break-through in Love Story and proved his dexterity ,in the award-winning Paper Moqn, contributes with his delectable personality. Madeline Kahn, who plays O’Neil’s finance, induces comical-acting energy’ that is also notable in Paper Moon.

The hilarious comedy centres around Streisand’s beguil- ing tactics to get the Doctor’s attention and his love. This develops into an escapade after some stolen jewels and top-secret papers. Fast-moving chase scenes are featured as four cars dive through the streets of San Francisco and finally end up in the Bay. The ending, of course, is a happy I one: Streisand and O’Neil fall in love and live happily ever after. .

Recently playing at the Majestic was The Longest Yard. I would recommend this movie as very worthwhile and entertaining; it’s a movie that cracks a lot of jokes while simultaneously being fierce and honest.

Burt Reynolds stars as his individual self-tough, sassy, charming and ‘so virile’ self. Eddie Albert depicts a heinous, corrupt prison-master that gets what’s coming to him in the end.

b- W’ho-is better educated? One of the main questions raised

in last week’s article bn plagiarism was : “Is it possible to institute a broad education within a university program?’ ’

Mr. Ron Connort, owner of- Termpapers Service, an essay agency which advertises in the chevron, said that most of his clients are technical students who have no interest in their arts elec- tives and so they buy a paper.

Does this mean that the en- gineers are not getting a broad edu- cation? Does the much cherished stereotype hold true of blinkered engineers who seldom make a move without advice from their calculators, and ‘ ‘artsies” who

view the world with panoramic vis- ion? Apparently not, at least ac- cording to associate Dean of En- gineering , George Soulis, and Dean of Arts, Jay Minas. -

In a recent interview with the chevron Minas said “I’m not wor- - ried about the engineers; I’m wor- ried about our students who have less and less facility with mathema- tics and the English language”.

In the’ Engineering department Soulis told the chevron that an at- tempt is being made to-improve students’ literacy.

Displaying a hefty report, Soulis explained that the engineering stu- dent writes about 450 pages before graduating. He said that a report

will not pass unless it,is well writ- ten, irrespective of content. “We are interested in literary ability and I wish I could get it across to the high school students .”

The emphasis in engineering education is moving away from the tedious writing of laboratory re- ports to much livelier project work such as-a feasibility study of under- ground warehouses which would. allow for goods to be stored be- neath the land while the surface is farmed.

In a study like that, a student must consider many factors -geographic, economic, social, political and more.

Thus Soulis, who is concerned

system-should it be broad? should it be narrow? should it be a bit of both? He settled on a specific course with sufficient flexibility as to allow for general electives, though if students, wish only to specialise he could see no reason why they shouldn’t.

But Minas was very clear in his view that Arts students can’t cope with mathematics and can’t handle the English language. He said that at a recent meeting of the Ontario Deans of Arts there was broad ag- reement that this was a problem.

Minas feels “a student needs both (a facility with math and En- glish) to be a really effective intel- ligent person in this world.” He de- scribed the distinction between the humanities and the sciences as a “phoney dichotomy”, and said that if he had his way he would require Arts students to take an ex- perimental science course. “We

run the risk of producing much nar- rower students than the en- gineers,” he said.

He gave an indication that the Arts department is moving in this direction, pointing out that at the last Arts Faculty Council meeting a motion was passed recommending that students take at least one course in mathematics or natural sciences.

The dean agreed that co-op courses, as run in the engineering department, can be a good means of broadening a student’s educa- tion, but said that not all Arts ’ courses can be applied to a co-op program, although an Economics co-op course has been introduced.

Both Minas and Soulis felt that plagiarism of any kind was not in the student’s interest, but neither considered it to be a major prob-

C .A.U. T. guidelines stipulate that unless

slanderous both parties agree to open hearings then the hearings would be closed. Since one party (Towler) to date has neither said ‘yes’ or ‘no’ it is assumed that the hearings-are closed.

It is often necessary to see something first hand before one believes the truth. That happened to me last week as I went to a number of meetings of the Parliamentary Committee hearings on the Green Paper in Toronto, Stratford, and Hamilton. --

I saw for myself the power of the state backed up with the armed might of the police. I saw elected representatives openly protecting the avowed fascist Western Guard and‘ I read newspaper reports that bore no resemblance to the actual happen- ings at the meetings.

Many of us don’t want to believe our off- cials lie, our newspapers lie, etc., but I be-

. lieve it now! In Hamilton one speaker who three times said he was not representing his union was quoted in the KW Record, Global News as representing his union.

A group of Italian Senior Citizens in To- ronto refused to speak in solidarity with the

-anti-fascist sentiment of the audience. These courageous old men were warmly embraced by the protesters. The news reported how- ever tell how these senior citizens were “in- timidated’ ’ . Since when is intimidation a warm embrace and handshakes.

The bourgeois press will do anything to discredit people who are actively fighting against theGreen Paper and actively fighting fascism here in Canada.

But the people at these meetings were in clear sympathy with the protestors. Resolu- tions were passed in Toronto and Hamilton condemning the committee for allowing the Western Guard to speak and in support of withdrawing the Green Paper.

For 8 days the Parliamentary Committee meetings have been disrupted. At the last night in Hamilton the parliamentary meeting was adjourned and a mass democratic meet-

This secrecy deprives the UW community of hearing the truth about a matter that has caused so much activity on the campus over the past year.

Towler and the Renison BOG have once again blatantly shown their disregard for the students at Renison and at UW. Parliamen- tary hearings are open, court cases are open but at Renison the case is closed to the pub- lit .

Thousands of dollars (approximately $15,000 thus far) are being spent by Renison on legal fees. The purpose-to save the “career” of John Towler and the reputation of the BOG. The students however are lost in the shuffle. Money that could go to im- proved classrooms, more teachers, etc. is

‘being spent on private lawyers fees. Forest’s academic advisor is Prof. Leo Johnson from the history department at UW. Johnson is giving his service and time for free because he believes in the right of Forest to teach the content of his courses to students going into applied social science. work. This content (the political economics of Canadian Soci- e ty , U . S . dominance of Canadian economics and how it affects Canadian society, im- perialism, etc.) is the crux of the matter along with Forest’s political activism on the UW campus and in the K.W; community.

The outcome of this case will undoubtedly effect the education of many UW students. Other faculty and students at Renison are anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the case.

The recommendation will have implica- tions for all politically active left wing faculty and students at Canadian universities. It will be weeks before the grueling:process of ex- amination and cross examination will end.

Donna Halley

r$DP full of them

In your June 6 edition, Mike Gordon, Bobs Wilson and Catherine Murray implied that students are not academics and that there is no academic dominance on the executive of the Waterloo North NDP, Riding Associa- tion. The trio stated “of the fifteen members of the riding executive only three are ‘ academics ’ , as opposed to four working members of the community and eight stu- dents here at the university”. According to the American College Dictionary an academic is “a member of a college or a university”. Does this refer to faculty mem- bers only or are students not members of a university? Do we pay a fee of close to $600 a year and not belong to the club? In addition,

I would contend that the majority of the eight students are registered in the Political Sci- ence Department.

’ If the nomination meeting of May 27th reflects the attitudes of the Waterloo North NDP Riding Association, then they deserve to lose this riding. Jo Surich wrote a letter supporting Jack Kersell. The fact that he used provincial party stationary implied that Kersell was the candidate the provincial ex- ecutive supported. When this matter was mentioned by Mr. Paul Beam it was quickly dismissed by Mr. Vinchert and the riding executive. This was bad enough but when children ages six or seven years old were permitted to vote because their parents had a ‘ ‘family membership”, I was appalled. Why not lower the offcial voting age to six if you permit childrerto have a voice in choosing your candidate? I would have paid the extra $5.00 to have my six month old son vote for the candidate of his choice! All things consi- dered, I remain a disenchanted member.

The term’s almost over, at least almost half over.. . and then mess. Things are? much better in Ottawa-, PET feels no twinge of conscience that third world we’ll beable to leave the pleasured hallsof academe to make some more bucks. Word is out that the countries are turning our nuclear technology around to producing bombs. Ah well-it helps the administration may be building Village four (Village three is Lakeshore Village). Members of the country grow economically and who cares if it means the end of the world. On the lighter side -, Gaus Lives Society tell us it will be 68 stories high and a much more humane environment than any construction has halted on the sculpture outside the chevron offices. I wonder if Burt reads the of the other villages. Anyways the Gaus Lives Society has given us the lowdown on Village four and chevron. Probably not. . . most likely they sold the piece of art for petty cash. Anyways this week, the Chevy hopes to have it published by the end of the summer. We’d have printed it long ago, live from the chevron officesin the Uniwat C.C. this chevron was brought to you by.. . ralph kofler however its about three full pages long (Chevy pages that is) and we’ll need a large paper to run it (speedy eh, gotta get something done and good luck with the coop), Shirley tillotson, thanks for without squeezing out the sports, entertainment and news. Sorry about the amount of ads we’ve the ‘divine book review, helen witruk, henry hess, randy hannigan, Sylvia hauck, john morris-the had to print as compared to the copy. Advertising pays our bills l n - and our-bills are inflating. So it darling of rio, neil docherty, diane ritza, laurie gourlay, flora conroy, if peter kade is reading this means less stories, more ads and smaller papers. .-. john shortall was telling us that last week come-back.. .we need you . . .and more thanks to bill mccrea, carol pierce, andy scherman, denis when the federation presented its brief to the ontario cabinet, billy davis and the boys spent more time andre, carol hincks, loris gervasio (our man on the mospott track) and a gudaftemoon to you, see you commenting on john’s jeans than they did on the brief. No wonder everything’s in such a next week and take it easy l l .mg. . .

The Labatt’s Formula 5000 weekend at Mosport belonged to Mario Andretti and his Lola T-332 racer. Andretti, from Nazareth; Pennsylvania, put on a brilliant dis- play of driving skill to win the feature race of the weekend before a hys- terical crowd of 60,000. His victory on Sunday ended an almost 7 year absence from the winner’s platform at the Mosport Park race circuit. Finishing only 0.6 seconds behind was Englishman Briah Redman in a si’milar Lola T-332 while Australian Warwick Brown came in a distant third.

The other major race of the weekend was the Camel IMSA GT race run on Saturday. What this race lacked in status it more than made up for in pure excitement. The40 lap feature event saw a total of 5 different leaders before the checkered flag fell. When all the dust had settled a rather surprised Porsche Carrera driver Hurley Haywood was wearing the victory wreath while Carl Shafer, driving a Camaro came in second with

Canadian Ludwig Heimrath follow- ing in third place at the wheel of another Porsche.

All in all .it was a great weekend for racing fans. The weather wasn’t bad, the mosquitos stayed away, the music and beer flowed freely and the racing was great! The many people from UW who attended the races were quite pleased no doubt and will probably be looking forward to the super Grand Prix of Canada weekend coming up in September.

Intramurak Despite the rumours to the con-

trary, the intramural summer foot- ball league schedule is unfolding as it should.

After the first 3 games, the invin- cible B’s have again emerged as the class of the league. They have scored 135 points while giving up only 19 in 3 games.

Observers have been quick to note that this year the B’s are even more polished and professional than the previous champion team. All players are interchangeable at each position.

The team is basically set at all positions although several players from the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers have arrived in town for 3 game try-outs.

League czar, Peter Hopkins commented that the B’s are the bastions of the league that without such talent as their’s, the league would collapse.

The team notes this comment by the commissioner and accepts it as

’ self-evident truth.

Basketball Wednesday night’s action left

five teams tied for first place in B-League and three-tied for second in A-League.

The only undefeated team is the Dons and in A-League, but they were hard pressed Wednesday. Playing without Phil Schlote, they were only leading by two points at half-time before pulling away.
