"l'm b~tterly d~sappo~nted"and " . bad news budget" were just two of the comments Dr Dou- glas Wr~ght, Pres~dent of the Untvers~ty of Wa- terloo, gave when asked about the new L~beral Ontarlo budget and ~ t s effects on the Unwerslty

Last Thursday, Robert N~xon, Ontarlo's pro- vlnc~al treasurer, announced that Ontarlo w~l l Increase ~ t s operatlng grants to unlversltles by a mere 4% -mere In the hght ofthe fact that t h ~ s 1s less than the estimated Increase In the consumer prlce Index As a result of t h ~ s and past financliil circumstances, ~t 1s est~mated that Waterloo w~l l have to cut ~ t s base budget for the 1986-87 aca- d e m ~ c year by two-and-a-half per cent

"Th~s does nothmg to rel~eve our budget cn- ss," commented Wr~ght "The Ontarlo budget doesn't do us any good and 1 don't see how ~t ' s golng to save us from somethmg hke the compu- ter fees because there's no rehef In t h ~ s budget "

Mmor encouragement came from the fact that reference was made to the W~lltam G Davls Computer Research Centre and to ~ t s eontlnual fundlng The project was funded under BlLD (Board of lndustnal Leadersh~p Development) at a cost of $31 m ~ l l ~ o n Accordmg to J a m ~ e McKay, an offlc~al In the Mmstry of Colleges and Un~vers~t~es . "The new government had the optlon of saylng we don't have the funds to do that 1 thmk all the budget statement 1s really domg 1s saylng that the new government 1s pre- pared to follow through w ~ t h the orgmal com- mltment made by the prevlous government "

"They're merely honourmg a commmnent al- ready made ( ~ t IS) unmag~nable that that (the Centre fundlng) wouldn't have been there," s a ~ d Wr~ght

A few weeks ago, Gregory Sorbara, Mmster of Colleges and Un~vers~t~es , announced that $50 m~lhon In a d d ~ t ~ o n a l fundmg was to be prov~ded to the unlversltles, but there are a number of crltlasms of thrs decls~on F m t of all. the orob-

other words, t h ~ s money can't be d~rected toward the operating budget that needs the most help.

"Accord~ng to the Bovey Comm~ssron on Edu- catton, we are about $105 m111dn behmd any reasonable quahty on bas~c operatlng grants," s a ~ d Wr~ght "And the research unlversltles need addlt~onal assltance a t least another $75 m ~ l l ~ o n Agalnst that we have a $50 m ~ l l ~ o n one- shot thlng."

"Again, by way of compans~on, the specla1 $50 m ~ l l ~ o n for excellence In Ontarlo can be com- pared to a s~ rn~ la r excellence grant In Saskatche- wan," Wr~ght added. "For t h e ~ r two unlversltles versus our 15, and with only an elghth of Ontano's populat~on, they are recelvmg $25 m ~ l l ~ o n a year for five years, or a guaranteed $125 m~lhon The comparatlve number for Ontarlo would be $200 m~lhon a year But beyond that, Saskatchewan recetves already 20 per cent more In the~r base budget and that alone 1s worth $200 m~lhon Therefore, for our $50 m ~ l l ~ o n , Saskatchewan gets $400 m ~ l l ~ o n , and the~r's 1s for five years as compared to our one T h ~ s IS a measure of how far we are beh~nd other provinces suc!! as Quebec and Alberta bes~des Saskatchewan

At a meetlng of the U W Senate Fmance Com- mlttee last Monday, lssues related to t h ~ s budget, such as the computer feeand the Academ~c De- velopment Fund, were tabled and discussed The feellngs of Wright, Bob Truman (Operat~ons Analys~s), Tom Brzustowsk~ (V~ce-Pres~dent, Academ~c) and Indeed a vast majorlty of the committee was that the Ontarlo budget IS golng to lead to more cuts andl or a rlse In student fees The financ~al plan for the 1986-87 year has yet to be determmed, but ~t doesn't look hke the com- puter fee approved last year w~l l be removed A number of optlons stdl have to be studled, but the bottom h e 1s st111 that the base budget has to be cut by around two-and-a-half per cent

McKay said that there are three main reasons for this sudden change. “This year we’re buying (our ice cream) from a new supplier and. we have more product variety. Also, we’ve employed a dual cash control system. Last year just a cash box was used and it was up to the Scoops manager to count the money at the end of the day and report the income.

4 COMMENT* . Imprint,’ Friday, October 25, 1985-

Students -,should’ not cover. underfunding

Early in the summer of this year it looked as if the under- funding crisis experienced by Ontario universities would finally be resolved. The new Liberal government seemed prepared to reverse the trend of declining quality of post- secondary education in this province - a trend established by years of Tory neglect. But last week’s budget, tabled by Treasurer Robert Nixon, showed that the Liberals, although . more generous than previous governments, are not serious about tackling the problems faced by Ontario’s universities and colleges.

The budget is even more disappointing in light of the expectations raised by the previous week’s announcement of a $50 million “excellence fund” for post-secondaryedu- cation. On top of this $50 million, the budget only added another $30 million. To bring Ontario’s per-student operat- ing grants up to the national average (we are currently ranked ninth in Canada) this province’s universities would need an extra $185 million.

What the budget means, in real terms, is that operating grantsfor colleges and universities will only increase by four per cent next year - less than the expected rise in the consumer price index.

Considering how far short the budget comes from meet- ing the needs of universities and colleges - in terms of staffing, capital expenditures, and basic operating costs - it is not surprising that university administrators are cool to

it. UW President Douglas Wright put it succinctly when he said, “This [budget] does nothing to relieve [UW’s] budget crisis.”

Although Nixon’s budget did have two bright spots for students - there is an eight per cent increase’in student aid through OSAP and a four per cent cap on tuition in- creases - students may still end up paying for the shortfall in funding. Wright gave notice of this the other day when he said, “The Ontario budget doesn’t do us any good and I don’t see how it’s going to save us from something‘like computer fees . . .” Unfortunately, it looks like Wright is planning, once again, on raiding students’ pockets directly to compensate for government underfunding.

With this new budget and Douglas Wright’s unimagina- tive response to the funding crisis, it is clear that UW students have their work cut out for them. They must con- tinue to oppose the computer fees, which are no more than a ruse to circumvent tuition ceilings, are unfair, indiscrimi- nate and represent an extremely dangerous precedent.

As well, they should make their voices heard beyond the university’s borders - namely in Toronto and Ottawa - if they wish to ensure that a quality education can be had in this province without having to mortgage the farm to pay for it. Rick Nigel

Why are people who oppose SD1 called idealists? *

So the continuing arms race is the only way to ensure peace. So the U.S. Strategic Defence Initiative is the most effective deterrent against nuclear war. You people who actually,believe this are insane.

But you’re not alone. Recently a spokesman for the Pen- tagon admitted that even a limited nuclear war would ne- cessarily result in a nuclear winter caused by countless tons of debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun, and that this would snuff out all life on earth. But, he said, that is all the more reason for the arms buildup, to ensure that we never entered a nuclear war.

Isn’t the fact that a nuclear war would wipe out.all life on earth enough of a deterrent? Why would anyone in their right mind want to push the button even if they had the upper hand in terms of a better nuclear arsenal if they knew that they would only be committing geno-suicide?

And don’t try to talk about the plausibility of a “limited” nuclear war which some, notably US. vice-president George Bush, have argued would be winnable and would “only kill about a quarter of the world’s population. It is not only unspeakably immoral to speak in such terms, but also completely inaccurate. When scientists and statesmen speak of limited nuclear wars, they are referring to some-

where between 100 ,and 150 warheads, more than enough to kill hundreds of millions of fortunate people instantly and the rest of the world slowly and excruciatingly through radiation burns and nuclear winter.

And those who think that SDI is the answer are even more deluded. At its best, even its proponents admit that it could only block something like 90% of the weapons di- rected at the U.S. How can anyone justify spending billions of dollars on this scheme when the 10% that would hit would be more than enough to wipe out North America while millions are starving to death? Unless you think being blown up five times over is better than being blown up fifty times over, SDI is .useless.

Nuclear war is not only insane, but utterly pointless. No one could ever win one and all life on earth must die if there is one. And yet the only effective deterrent against it is to produce more of the weapons that will ultimately destroy U S . Those among us with any sense who give a damn about our lives and want this madness stopped are disparagingly called idealists, impractical, and pupp.ets of those evil, im- perialistic Soviets.

The lunatics really have taken over the asylum. . Chris Wodskou

To the editor: I find :it difficult to understand the complaining of stu-

dents and the Ontario Federation of Students regarding incidental. fees. Incidental fees are charged to students to help cover the costs of services provided to us. So why shouldn’t we be responsible for these fees? They are a small price to pay for the services we get. Are the P.A.C. facilities not worth $20.00 per year? How much would it cost you to buy and operate an equivalent range of compu- ter hardware no* available to you for a maximum of $100.00 per term?- Is the expertise of our doctoks and are the high standards of quality of our. hospitals not worth the health premium of $26.00 p&r year? I would like to .

~ suggest to those who are complaining to take a good look at what you arti getting for your money. ’

As an Arts student, I pay $1,353.36 per session for tuition and incidental fees. At that rate my four year degree will cost me $5,413.44. Compare that to the $7,115.00 in, fees charged per session to foreign students

or the $IO,OOO U.S. currently charged for a session by numerous universities in the U.S. It seems to me that we

Con#iteP feet5 are afl injus-tice To the editor:

I am writing in response to Neal Bonnor’s article “Student *Reps say comphter fee is a rip off”, Imprint, October 25..In my opinion, the computer fee is not only a rip off but a great injustice to the students. _ While at this. university I have only used a terminal twice which, when added together, did not add up to even three hours of computer time. That is three hours out of four years. Why should I and others like me have to pay huge sums of money ($70/term in my case) for a service that is not used.

I believe a fairer’ system .would be to charge only those students who use the computer terminals on a “pay a$ you use” basis. If all the students who agree with this opin’ioti withold

payment of their computer fee in January, perhaps the Universi- ty’s financial administrators and “pro-computer pebple” would stand up and take notice. . l

Whether we like it or not, computer fees are being shoved down our throats and it’s time we fought back. As Fed President Flanagan said, “everyone has an opportunity to go to the movies

.(or the computer terminal) tonight but until you go, you don’t pay your five bucks” (or $140 either). I do not want to go on record as being anti-computer, but let *those tiho use them pay for them. Its only fair. M. Bowes

Grandma lives bv the lutiar calendzk

: by Mike Loh I *The moon was full again, risi_hajustas the sun was shedding its

last few rays after the first day-of adjusting back to Eastern Standard Time. I was at the library when I rlbtired it, huge and bright, and for some reason I thought of my Grandma. She stilt lives by the lunar calendar that never. fails to I follow the exact phases of the moon. The first day of the tionth is when the night is moonless and fullmoon coties along on the fifttienth. She will go to-the temples on both days, the,highlight of every foitnight, a&l offer incense and fruits at the alters of the dozen or so gods of varibus ranks and origin. She will pray for continuous good health and fortune for the entire far&y, following a ritual that was set vp centuries ago. 8 /

There was this particular temple that she frequented when I was little, ‘about 20 minutes walk from our home. lt was, and I guess still .is, designated as the temple for Kuan-Yin, a certain female deity who was popularised through the ancient ties with the old religions in India, as are so many other Chinese figures of divinity.‘(Grandma still insists Kuan-Yin is’as Chinese as she and I could ever be, even though I tried to enlighten her on the offend-

ing fact.) She often brought me al&g on those visits, and on host dw I agreed. I say most days, because a Chinese temple on ’

’ a Chinese festivity is not a picnic for amateurs such as myself. People come in throngs, all to seek blessings from the numer-

ous gods who choose to reside in temples that certain day. So, on . those quiet days, I agreed. She would perform the usual ritual of placing lighted sticks of incense ori the brass pots in front of e$ery’ figure, murmurring prayers that only she heard (well, I’m only considering earthly beings present). I would quietly walk in and around the temple, admiring the, intricate carvings and holy ancient words that I cbuld ‘not read, all giving me a,vew ‘old feeling, as if these objects and characters have always existed, casually regarded yet revered for their perceived relation with the heaknly beings.

I am quite sure Grandma still goes to that temple every first and fifteenth day of the month in the lunar calendar, as faithful and unchanging ,as the temple and, its occupants. ‘I can imagine her finishing her prayers and staying for an hour or so for small talk with the care-taker and slowly walking b&k tq our home for I

1 lunch. She will b& back in two we&s, or soon, if the need arises. Grandma will probably be the last of us to make those trips, none of the younger members of the family &es the temple as a solution to any ot Me’s true pr@lems. As tor me, I:m Still admiring intricate ‘carvings and not knowing how to read @se ancient words.

Imprint, Friday, November 1, 1985 . \ Tools For Peace sends aid to Nicaragua

by Mary Joy Aitken ‘the campaign are Dr. Douglas Wright, U W president, Walter Mac- A group of K-W citizens are participating in a campaign to send Lean, Secretary of State for Immigration, Mennonite Central goods to Nicaragua. Tools For Peace is a material aid campaign Committee Director Ray Schlegal, artist Peter Etril Snyder and whose aim is to gather goods from across Canada which will be others. crated and shipped to Nicaragua in January 1986.

Also needed are agricultural equipment, such as tractors, and garden handtools, medicines, band-ages and needles, construction and carpentry tools, radios, cassette and video recorders, toys, games, sports equipment (baseball is Nicaragua’s national sport), and musjcal instruments.

value of goods shipped was close to $2 million. Harris says-that it is “amazing how resourceful the Nicaraguan

people are with items that we feel have lost their usefulness.” , However, she emphasizes that goods that are sent to Nicaragua “must be in good working condition.” For example, the group is only sending workable manual typewriters this year. And the only bicycles that will be sent “are one and three speeds as 10 speed bikes are just not sturdy enough to stand up to Nicaraguan roads.”

r The local K-W campaign is affiliated with the national Coalition for Aid to Nicaragua (CAN), which is sponsored by church groups, trade unions, teachers* federations, health professionals, business people, artists and development workers. Some local endorsers of

Locally, the campaign began in 1983. According to Laurie Snyder, active in last year’s campaign, close to 20 people were involved in the project last year and $20,000 worth of goods were sent from the K-W area. One of the biggest donations last year came from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Guelph. They donated stretchers, lab equipment and hospital furniture. Donations were also received from K-W Hbspital. Novapharm, a pharmaceutical company in Mississauga, gave antibiotics, malaria medication and vitamins. Other donations from local businesses and individuals’ included office equipment such as typewriters, pens and pencils, sewing machines, bicycles, as well as many other items.

According to Lucy Harrison, member of this year’s campaign, the need for donations “is greater than ever this year. This is partly because of the U.S. embargo of Nicaragua.” However, she does not anticipate that this year’s campaign will be as s_uccessful as last year. She attributes this to “increased requests for aid from many other organizations, especially those involved in famine rdief in Africa and, closer to home, tornado relief in the Barrie area.”

as “the point at which interest and tendencies meet”. At Gandalf, the’ focus is on you and your work... where your interests are respected and your tendencies are given a channel to gro-w and develop. It’s always been a part of our philosophy to let people focus their careers in areas most likely to benefit their skills and personal strengths. It’s how we grew and prospered.

Harris also adds that if one would like to help with the campaign but hasn’t the money or goods to donate, there is still an urgent need for volunteers to help with the crating and packing of goods. To date, goods received include used clothing, medicines, bicycles and blankets. All of these items need to be crated and prepared for shipping.

The campaign will be wound up by November 14 and goods sent off to Toronto for eventual delivery to Vancouver. From there they are shipped to Nicaragua. Anyone interested in donating goods or time should contact the Global Community Centre at 746-4090.

Coop Program...; Engineering is undoubtedly the focal point of our industry, yet we also have a high regard for other related disciplines because there is always a place for special skills at Gandalf. In fact, they are vital to our progress. We are involved in - high-level hardware and softw’are, and with us you would be contributing to the d-evelopment of our product lines and making enhancements to existing.ones.

Ministers “on the sauce”

$6 billion education cut WINNIPEG (CUP) - The federal government willuse college and university students to balance the budget, Manitoba’s finance minister says.

By 1990, provinces will have $6 billion less in federal money to spend on health, universities and colleges, according to reports from a secret session of a meeting between federal and provincial finance ministers several weeks ago.

In an after-dinner session of the Sept. 26-27 Halifax meeting, that only finance ministers and not their aides attended, Michael Wilson, Federal Minister of Finance said the government will be cutting back transfer payments to the provinces starting in 1986. This new schedule for cuts is a change from information published in the May budget.

Because aides didn’t attend the meeting and “half the ministers were probably on the sauce” by the time Wilson made the announcement, according to an MP who asked his name not be used, the new plan for cuts got no national press.

But federal opposition critics found out through the Ontario and Manitoba finance ministries, and Liberal secretary of state critic

, Roland de Corneille (Eglington-Lawrence) asked Wilson about the $6 billion in cuts during Question Period in the House of Commons last week.

Wilson said the next meeting with finance ministers would be to decide how the cuts would be implemented. He did not deny the $6 billion figure.

Since 1977, Established Programs Financing transfers from Ottawa to the provinces have risen 7.5 per cent a year, to keep pace with inflation and gross national product (apart from the six and five years.)

Now Wilson wants to cut increases to five per cent per year, cumulative. Based on Manitoba and Ontario calculations, the Liberals and New Democrats say the cuts will be $800 million in 1987, $1.2 billion in 1988, 1.6 billion in 1989, and $2 billion in 1990.

Currently, according to the terms of reference of the federal study team on education, the government estimates $4.4 billion of’its annual transfer payments go to education and training.

In the,past provinces have always cut education before cutting health care, de Corneille said. “This is the death knell ringing (for education) if this goes through,” he said.

According to Manitoba Finance Minister Vic Schoeder, Wilson’s proposal means Medicare and accessible post-secondary

education will become things of the past.

“Right now, in Manitoba, the federal government gives us 43 cents of every dollar we spend on health services and education,” Schoreder said. “Mr. Wilson’s objective is to reduce this to 36 cents on the dollar by 1990.” Manitoba alone could lose $92 million annually by 1990, Shroeder said.

Shroeder rejected Wilson’s claim that the $6 billion decrease was needed to reduce the federal deficit. The same national budget that proposes the decrease is offering $2.3 billion in tax breaks over the same five years. He says the government is trying to balance the budget on the backs of students.

“There’s a clear connection here,” Shroeder said. “The Federal government is not taxing retirement savings program investments of up to $15,000 a year and is also not taxing capital gains of up to $500,000.”

Shroeder. said the province will do what it can to make up any possible shortfall, but he doesn’t want to be forced to choose between decreasing funding for health services or for decreasing funding to universities.

Shroeder said he was confident the provinces could prevent the federal government from further reducing transfer payments. Manitoba, Quebec and the four Maritime provinces oppose the idea. Only Saskatchewan’s Conservative finance minister, Bob Andrew, was in favour. I “Once people understand that this is about whether they’ll be able

to go to the doctor, get a college education for their kids or retraining for themselves if they’re unemployed, the federal government will be forced to back down,” Shroeder said. “1 think the same thing will happen that happened over the attempt to de- index pensions.”

John Casola, Canadian Federation of Students executive director, said CFS has been lobbying against Wilson’s proposal but the organization doesn’t have much information on the subject.

Sandra Wolfe, an aid to de Corneille, said the MP’s office wants to get students protesting and signing petitions to oppose the cuts, like pensioners did after indexing pensions was cut in the May budget.

“Let’s face it, umversitites are not the sexiest thing on Parliament Hill, but if we can get the students aroused, then we can get the

caucus aroused,” she said.

Are there too many lawyers in Canada? Not according to Brian Eby, a former University of Waterloo student and now a practicing lawyer at a local Kit- chener law firm. Eby was the guest speaker at a Brown Bag Seminar at St. Jerome’s College Wednesday, October 23.

Eby discussed how much the job market for lawyers has changed over the past decade. “Gone are the days when you graduated and were handed the keys to a Rolls Royce,” he said. Law is like any other business and law graduates have to get out into the work force and fill whatever positions are availa- ble.

He admitted that not all graduates of law go into prac- tice. At least 30% never work in a private law practice but use their skills elsewhere in indus- try. Eby said that it gets tough- ter each year for law students to get a job in an existing law firm and it is even more difficult for them to set up their own practi-

more skeptical. i Other Eby recongized that there are I

Please drop completed questionnaires at the lmprint Office, Turnkey Desk or Housing Office by Friday, November 8, 1985. Results will be made available in a few weeks time.

Instead, he suggested a change in the law school curriculum to include courses in business ad- ministration and finance. He also feels that law schools should assume a greater respon- sibility to advise students on the pressures they will face-and help guide them towards all areas where their iaw degrees may be applicable.

“Lawyers are born, then re- fined,” said Eby. If you have what it takes, with planning , a

McGill students occupy building ‘DiviSstm&t of- fun@ i.n South Africa Wanted

&TAWA (CUP) -- Twenty students occupied the , McGill University adniinstration build- ing Friday Oct. 11, leaving only when they were assured that McGill’s divestment from South Africa-tied firms would be on agenda of the next board of governors meeting. .

The same day, police arrested. hundreds of American students protesting apartheid, and three U.S. universities announced full divestment.

Carrying placards and a large banner reading “Fight Racism in South Africa”, the students

. sat down in the office of Nathan. Moss, secretary to McGill’s board of governors.

“After 15-20 minutes he (Moss) came out,” said Bren-’ ’ dan Weston, a third-ye& eco- noniics student and one of, the demonstra’tors. “With badger- ing -we managed to get him to agree to have a (divestment) motion put on the agenda for the Oct. 21 meeting.”

Moss also agreed that the meeting would be open. Most board meetings are closed to students. and media.

McGill has investments total- ling $8.5 million in 26 compa- nines which are “directly .or indifectly” linked . to South Africa, according to report the school released Sept. 4, 1985. These include $1.54 million in

the B&k of Montreal, $700,000 in CIL Incorporated, $1.74 mil- lion in the Canadian imperial Bank df Commerce, $2 million in General Motors, $1.12 mil- lion in the Royal Bank of Can- ada, and $1.02 million in Seagram’s Inc. The chairper- sons of Aican and the Royal Bank of Canada sit on McGill’s board.

IQ the United States, students at about 100 campuses in 30 cit- ies protested apartheid Oct. ,! i. Apartheid is the offical pc$cy which guarantees supremacy to . five million South African whites, denies rights to 24 mil- lion blacks, and restricts the rights of almost four million

Asians and p&ople”of mixed race.

they graduate. “If anyone wants to know if

the university means business on this, the answer is absolutely yes,” said ‘U of A Registrar Brian Silzer.

“It is not designed as an ad- mission or exclusion test, but many universities use it -as one,” Steinsaid. ’ . ._

U of A Students’s Union vice president academic Caroline Nevin said a passing grade in a junior English course should be sufficient proof that a student can write competently in Eng- lish. the- UnvierSity of“i=algary accepts a C grade in first-year English as proof-a student can write properly.

Lorna McCallum, chair of testing and remediation at the U of A, said stu’dents were given two years to pass the test. A half-year extension was added later, but the November 28 final deadline is approaching.

“The writing competency test is,a result of inadequate secon- dary education;” Nevin said. “High schools have, failed to prepare student? for the de- mands of a university education and students, are being unfairly penalized for, being unable to write properly.”

Almost every term, a certain club on campus organizes an event which draws up to two hundred people from all across southern Ontario over a two- day period, yet goes unnoticed by the vast majority of students on campus. This event is the WATSFIC Advanced Dun- geons & Dragons games tour- nament. *

Ray MacEwan of the G’niver- sity bf Lethbridge Student Ser- vices said the test applies to all students at the U of L but inter- national--students can apply for a one-semester extension.

Of the other‘prairie universi- ties; only the University of Reg- ina and Brandon Unvjersity have mandatory proficiency tests as entrance and degree re- quirements.

Visa students at BU must write a test to prove compet- ency in English bef,ore they are. allowed to register and all un- dergraduates re-registered after January 1985 will be required to pass a competency exam within two yearS of registering or they will be suspended, said BU Ad- missions Committee chair Tom MacNeil.

1 by Cindy Lbng I Now that you’ve quit the macaroni habit, ,what do you

buy? Try fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, cheese . . . try the Farmer’s Market for a wide selection of cheese, and high- quality produce at modest prices.

Watch for sales. Shop between Wednesday and Saturday when they’re on and check out Central Meat Market on Tuesdays for savings on anything from vegetables to house- hold cleanser to (of course) meat. Plan to buy what’s on sale and usecoupons. The Waterloo Chronicle carries ad sections for Dutch Boy, Mr. Grocer and Zehr’sl 1 have a preference for Mr. Grocer because of the friendly service, non-existent line-ups and the free chequing card for university students. However, Zehr’s often has a better selection ‘of produce and

_ meat. If you go to Dutch,Boy be prepared to suffer through squashed check-out lines.

Buy big. If you’re going to make, spaghetti sauce, for instance, buy a huge jar of sauce. Buy two jars if they’re on sale for a good price. Read the price per gram. A huge pot of sauce can last one person for four meals!’

Buy flour andeother baking needs in bulk from natural food outlets. You’ll save. Same goes for raisins, nuts, peanut butter (even cheaper if you bring your own container at The Natural Food-Market), beans, and things like coconut, dried fruit, and honey. , Eggs come fresher at the health food stores.

Don’t throw away good food. Beet leaves can be cooked like spinach. Peel your potatoes and you’re losing iron - vitamin C and protein.

Hpve.you noticed the push to buy milk in plastic bags? As far as saving money goes, that’s fine, but if you care about your planet, splurge on the cartoons. Boycott “thow away” plastic as much as you can. Use shopping bags for garbage bags later. *Buy frozen juices and keep waste down by re-us- ing the same container for them.

As university students we have responsibilities that go beyond saving pennies. Your children and grandchildren will have to use this earth after you. .

Here’s this week’s recipe: The Worlds- Greatest Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients: 1 litre jar of sauce (1 use Ragu) ’ 1’ pound of fresh mushrooms (sliced and washed)

/ ’ 1 pound medium ground beef (optional for vegetarians) 2 large cloves of garlic (one chopped fine, one sliced) l small green pepper 1 ’ 1 large.-ornon (any kind, sliced) 1 tablespoon (tblsp.) basil / I tsp. oregano l/4 tsp. thyme ’

b 1 bay leaf (remove before serving) ._

I

1 / 2 cup dry, red wine (preferably Italian), This is optional. How to do it: I

Start cooking the sauce on very low heat. Add spices and stir. While it heats, chop all the veggies. Fry the beef until brown and add it. Fry the mushrooms until soft (not brown). Add ‘em. Fry all the other veggies, including the chopped clove of garlic, until soft and add. Add the sliced clove raw. Add the wine. Simmer (don’t boil) for at least l/2 hour, longer if you’ have the time. Boil the spaghetti until “al dente.” Serve immediately.

for CnnrrAInn University Press If you’re-lilm me you were probably taught a few basic

“facts” about nuclear weapons while you were growing up. Somebody probably taught you that the atom bombs the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortened WW II. In History CUSS somebody probably said that nuclear weapons have only been used twice. Later somebody probably said that the main reason for the US. to have nuclear weapons is to deter the Soviet Union.

Everything they told you was a lie.

Myth #l - H*shima & lvagasaki The American atom-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

did not shorten WW II, it lengthened it; it didn’t save Allied lives, it cost Japanese and Allied lives.

Dr. Martin J. Sherwin is the only American historian to have read through all of the top-secret documents relating to the Manhattan Project and the A-bombing of Japan. His research took eight years and from it he published a book,A World Destroyedz The Atomic Bomb and the airand Al- liance.

Dr. Sherwin presented in a recent phone interview with Canadian University Press, the following chronology of the last few months of WW II: May 1948:

The U.S. demands the unconditional surrender of Japan The former ambassador to Japan (“A man who knew more about Japan than any other American in government,” says Sherwin) and the acting Secretary of State, Joseph Grew, urged President Truman to modify the unconditional sur- render demand

The U.S. had cracked Japanese codes years before, and from the intercepted messages Grew and Trumanknewthat the Japanese would never surrender without assurances that the institution of their Emperor would survive. Truman refuses. June 81:

U.S. wins battle for Okinawa, begins daily aerial bombing of Japan.

In his memoirs, Joseph Grew predicts that Japan may have surrendered on this day if the U.S. had modified their demands for an “unconditional surrender”. July 13:

Japanese foreign Minister Togo (in a cable intercepted by American Intelligence and delivered to President Truman) says, “Unconditional surrender is the only obstacle to peace. . . ” Truman ignores it. A- 6:

Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. 80,000 die. August ‘7:

The second bomb is supposed to be dropped on Aug. 11, giving the Japanese time to consider surrendering (note below: Japan’s offer to surrender came on Aug. 10)

The timing decision, however, is left in the hands of Co- lonel Paul Tibbets at bomber command

Tibbets says it is “too bad” that the date tin’t two days earlier, because the weather will be nicer.

The date is moved up. August 9:

Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki. 74,000 die. August-lo:

Japanese government offers to surrender on the condi- tion that the U.S. guarantees the continuation of the Em- peror and his dynasty. August 14:

The U.S. agrees to this conditional Japanese surrender - a surrender it could have accepted months before. (And Em- peror Hirohito is still alive and ruling today). -

Given that the Americans could have ended the Pacific War in July, if not May, of 1945, every Australian, New Zealander, British, &nadian and American soldier who died during that period (not to mention the Japanese) is the responsibility of T ruman’s government and its blind deter- mination not to end the war until it had tested atom bombs (one uranium and one plutonium) on civilian populations.

The atom bombs “also held out the possibility of a divi- dend,” says Sherwin, “and that was the chance to give Mos- cow a little shock and shake them up a bit.”

But WW II wasn’t over yet. In what American scholar Noam Chomsw has described as a “final gratuitous act of barbarism,” the U.S. launched a thousand plane raidagainst Japan onAugust 14, four days after Japan had offered to give up, but, technically, beforethe U.S. had accepted Seven cities were bombed

I

One victim, M&oto Oda, described what happened in Osaka: “In the afternoon of August 14,1945, thousands of people died during a protracted and intensive aerial bom- bardment of an arsenal in Osaka. I was witness to the tragedy . . . After what seemed an eternity of terror and . anguish, we who were fortunate enough to survive emerged from our shelters. We found the corpses - and the leaflets which American bombersdropped over the destruction The leaflets proclaimed in Japanese, “Your Government has sur- renedered. The war is over!” ( from: Journal of Social and Political Ideas in Japan, August, 1966)

Even American Secretary of War Stimson said he was “apalled that there had been no protest over the air strikes we were conducting against Japan which led to such ex- traordinary heavy losses of life.” He felt that “there was . something wrong with a country where no one questioned that.” Myth #8 - Muclear Weapons have only been used twice.

The U.S. has used nuclear weapons 22 times since Hiro- shima and Nagasaki. Most of us have never heard of this, but the facts are in the accompanying chart, drawn primarily from a U.S. Defence Department study. ’

If a killer puts a gun to your head andasks for your wallet, has he used the gun? Yes. Even if he doesn’t pull the trigger, he has still used the gun

In this way the U.S. has used nuclear weapons over and over again since 1945. And, as the chart shows, usually this loaded gun has been pointed at Third World, non-nuclear, not even conventionally strong nations.

Daniel Ellsberg is a former Marine Captain and military consultant to the BAND Corporation In the early 1960s he was the highest ranking civilian in the U.S. Pentagon to read and revise America’s overall nuclear war plan. Ellsberg was interviewed about this secret history of nuclear threats by Current Magazti in June, 1981. Current: Would a president seriously consider using nu- clear weapons against a country that didn’t possess them? Ellsberg: First, that’s how Harry Truman used them, in August 1945. Second, it’s safer than using them against the Soviets. Third, every president from Truman on (with the exception of Ford) has had an occasionin on ongoing, ur- gent crisis to direct serious preparations for imminent U.S. initiation of tactical nuclear warfare, preparations in every case “leaked” to the enemy, and in several cases accompan- ied by secret, explicit, official threats . . .

Presidents buy these weapons because they expect to use them, based on their knowledge of a largely secret history - which both they and their adversaries know better than the American public does - of how past presidents threatened their use, and often with some significant success.

Their charisma reached everyone in the theatre, and coaxed even the most serious personalities to clap along with th.e beat. In between songs, their fast paced one- liners and kidding among themselves was good natured and relaxed, from inside racial jokes about the one black member, Arnold.

The Nylons understand the meaning of , working as. a group, because just as their voices blended and became one, so also did they. None were competing for the spo- tlight; rather, they are one harmonious entity that turn out a timeless type of sound which will never become trendy and fade away.

Automatic Pilot captures life in 80s ’

” A retro spectrve IOOK at Graham Greene dealt with Greene’s inconoc- lasm in religion and politics.

The latest fiction of Grah- am Greene was the title and subject of a conference held October 25 and 26 at St. Je- rome’s College. Papers deal- ing with Greene’s latest fiction were presented Friday and Saturday. Two of Greene’s works on film, Travels With My Aunt and The Human Factor were shown Friday evening.

Do you face life as in individual, thumbing your nose at society’s conventions and ex- pectations, or do you put yourself on auto- matic pilot, letting yourself be pushed along by acquaintances and social mores? That is one of the many disquieting questions put forward by the UW Drama Department’s pro- duction of Erika Ritter’s wickedly funny’play, Automatic Pilot. It sends the audience on a deliciously satirical flight of fun but not with- out a good deal of uncomfortable emotional and moral turbulence.

With an’ impressionistic Toronto skyline as the backdrop throughout, the play opens with Charlie (Rebecca Maynard-Tomasevic), a thirty-year-old -woman without any real dire- citon in life, giving a stand-up routine at the Canada Goose Club. She sarcastically tries to justify her full-time job as a soap opera writer and ridicules the trivialities and petti- ness of a society which values things like beanbag frogs and dimmer switches.

The next morning she finds herself in Nick’s bed, rudely awakened by his younger brother Gene, almost his brother’s polar op- posite. Nick, played with admirable sliminess by Christopher Wilson, personifies the shal- low society of the 80’s perfectly. Nick’s idea of committment is remembering his latest con- quest’s name; he’s only in it for fun. When Charlie starts cleaning out his fridge, the very thought of domesticity terrorizes him. Nick has no scruples about callous)y using people to get what he wants and pretty well sums up the theme of the play when he says, “You people with pure mdtives - you make me ner- vous.”

Gene is the alternative Charlie turns to after getting the roses-and-wine kiss-off from Nick. Portrayed with an engagingly cheeky yet sincere charm by Bruce Beaton, Gene is an aspiring novelist who sees through the facades and pretensions of those around him and has a wisecrack for every situation. After finding Charlie in Nick’s bed and hearing her insist that she’s not as sleazy as she looks, he tells her, “You’re not the type who puts ‘sleep around’ on your things to do list.”

To make matter? even more confusing for Charlie is her ex-husband (or, as she p&s it, her late husband), Alan, who left her for another man. Michael Provost capably han-

dles this character making the best of the impossible task of coming to terms with what he is in light of what is socially acceptable. He is also a pathological sponger, sucking up to people he doesn’t like such as Nick if there’s any hope of getting a valuable connection for his dismal acting career.

~ Ritter squanders no opportunity for jokes and barbs which set the audience howling, but a distinct unpleasantness undercuts much of the comedy. The audience laughs at the characters’ weaknesses and moral dou- ble-standards but is then unsettled to realize that the- play is realistic and that there are I many people out there like Alan and Nick. We are forced not only to ridicule the cqrruptions of the characters, but also to examine our own motives and how we interact with others professionally and sexually.

The central figure is the hard-drinking, ter- minally confused Charlie. Maynard-Toma- sevic is disturbingly convincing as her character becomes unhinged. Desperately wanting something solid to hang on to, to give her life some stability, Charlie unsuccessfully attempts reconciliation with Alan after Nick dumps her, not knowing exactly what she wants.

When she embarks on an affair with Gene, she thinks she has finally found what she wants - a sensitive, witty (albeit younger) man who truly loves her. But the most disquieting part of Automatic Pilot is that is turns out that she can’t cope with happiness. Charlie has so long been cruising along with the rdle of the perpetual underdog that she can only be happy when she’s the loser. She no longer has any need for her shield of bitter, self-de- preciating sarcasm and, without it, she feels naked.,

It is a pathetic irony ,-that, through their breakup, both Charlie and Gene get what they want - Charlie gets the material for her comedy routine and Gene finds inspiration for his novel. The viewer must ask at this point what he or she really wants out of life and whether assigned roles can ever be broken.

The play never becomes weepy or melo- dramatic, but even Ritter’s insightful gags cut with chilling accuracy.

The final performances of Automatic , Pilot are tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts - $3 for students, $5 for others.

are enjoyczble

These feelings are one of the reasons behind the confer- ence. Organized by Prof. Ted McGee of St. Jerome’s Col- lege, the conference came about as a result of a discus- sion on the fact that much of’ Greene’s later work, from Travels With My Aunt onw- ard, were taught in high- school and university English courses. Apart from this, is Greene’s tremendous popu- larity with the general public. People who have lead him comment on the powerful in-

The CLIOs were quite en- joyable but were marred by Bill Evans’ bad excuse for a commentary. His mumbling and bad jokes distracted from the high quality entertain- ment.

fluence he has had on them. Almost all of Greene’s novels have been made into films.

There has beeti little criti- cism of the latest Greene and what does exist tries to stere- otype him as a “Catholic”

novelist. This leads to a further purpose of holding the conference, a gathering of teachers of Greene and wri- ters on Greene to examine both him and his life. Graham Greene is his fiction. The key- note address, Getting to know the writer, was given by Philip Stratford (Universite de Montreal).

The profound effect Greene has on people and his ability to “tell a story” would seem to stem from his lifelong and outrageous attempts to eliminate his self-professed boredom. This is exemplified by childhood games of Rus sian Roulette, and through psycho-analysis ,and ex- tended periods of drunkeness once reaching college. As an adult, Greene continued with the flow, from becoming a card-carrying communist in an attempt to become a spy, to being sued by Shirley Tem- ple for his critique on her per- formance as being “sexually enticing.” The experience of the extreme and intense has added to Greene’s writing in depth of *statevent, under- standing and adventure which makes his work classic.

Two papers included con- tinuing themes within his work, The Fantastic Ele- ments in the Work of Gra- ham Greene (Albert0

The Lucy Show Undone

A & \M Records

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff

The Lucy Show’s debut album, Undone, is quite a frustrating affair. It is filled with good intentions, good tunes and fine playing but there is always an indefinable something that keeps the re- cord from attaining the excel- lence it so often comes close to.

Founded by Calgarians Mark Bandola on guitar, keys and vocals, and bassist/vocal- ist Rob Vandeven, who tra- velled to England to get the band together, The Lucy Show has an enjoyable, if somewhat nondescript sound. Their influences are salient throughout the record but they wear them well, shades of The Teardrop Ex- plodes coming through here, and The Cure there.

The Lucy Show’s greatest strength, however, lies in guit- arist Pete Barclough whose Robert Smith/Echo’s Will Sargent style has keen me- lodic sense, the riffs weaving their way into the forefront and then fading back into an ethereal sireri in the distance. Barclough dominates Ephe- meral with one his many irresistably catchy guitar lines, making it one of the best cuts on the album and a good candidate for gi single.

Twister is a showcase for Rob Vandeven who sounds remarkably like The Tear- drop’s Julian Cope, the dense whirling of the keyboards per- fectly reflecting the theme of the song (I’m caught in a twis- ter). But unfortunately, most of the vocal duties are. handled by Bandola whose asthmatic whine wouldn’t sound out of place in Platinum Band. The Lucy Show’s’opus, Better On The Hard Side, should positively soar through its cadence after ca-. dence of rushing ,violins and guitars but Bandola’s sub-par vocals somehow manage to keep it thoroughly grounded.

Maybe it’s the lack of lyrical depth, or the overly-res-

Guadalcanal Diary Walking In The Shadow Of The Big Man

WEA

by Tim Perlich -Contrary to popular belief, Guadalcanal Diary hails from the

Ailanta suburb of Marietta, Georgia and nbt from American music’s new mecca: Athens, Ga. - home of REM, Love Trac- tor, Pylon, B-52’s etc. It may seem like a minor point but it’s a big deal to a group who constantly find themselves lumped in with all the ‘other’ Georgia bands. Vocalist Murray Attaway explains: “It’s a more settled place than Athens, which is a university town. My dad still calls ‘people from the North ‘damn Yankees’ “.

The group’s music is true to their small town roots, develop- ing with the maturation of the members who have grown together as friends since high school in the 70’s.

Guadalcanal Diary as it now exists, debuted in 1981 at a friend’s wedding reception where they played mostly covers such as Thunderball and Gloomy Sunday. About these days, drummer Rhett Crowe recalls:

“A lot of our early songs wouldhave four tempo changes. It was difficult for the audience to figure out what the hell we were doing.”

Two years later, the band recorded a four song EP called Watusi Rodeo (without the title song) in a very low budget run of 1,000 copies. Gaining widespread local recognition for the EP and their intense rock ‘n’ roll hoe-downs, Guadalcanal Diary decided it was time to expand their audience and thus recorded the single and video Watusi Rodeo. The release quickly landed them a “high-rotation” slot on the MTV playlist and instantaneous nation-wide exposure.

The units started moving and suddenly they had enough working capital to record an LP with Jangle guru Don Dixon (REM, Let’s Active, Bongos, Beat Rodeo, etc.) as producer. Regarding the collaboration, guitarist Jeff Walls says:

“He was more accustomed to clean-cut pop, while we were a hard-rocking garage band. The record is where those two things meet.”

That pretty well sums it up. Walking In The Shadow Of The Big Man cduld be des-

cribed as a raucous, countrified rave-up that takes a breather now and again. The songs are played by youths who seem to be genuinely inspired by their traditional American music herit- age, not simply a few stiug, ‘hipper than thou’ juveniles who’ve jumped on the haywagon because “the clothes are soooo kitsch”.

This is not to say that the band is humourless. Watusi Rodeo, for example, is a tongue-in-cheek stab at the Reagan adminis- _ tration that tells a story of a cowboy invasion of Africa. Ghost on the Road continues the narrative style begun with Trail of Tears, chugging along to a crashing freight train shuffle that owes much to Roy Acuff’s Wreck on the Highway.

Intrumentals are handled just as deftly. Gilbert Takes the Wheel features rebel rousing guitars pounded into background ._. . submission by an earth-moving drum/bass sound that would make Steve Lillywhite shrivel with envv.

Spice. The 4-man band from the Barbados lived up to its name and created a lively, energetic mood at Fed Hall on Wednesday, October 23. Their music, a combination of reggae and calypso, enticed

*the crowd from their seats to help fill the dance floor for most of the, evening. They describe their music as happy, jamming music de- signed to get everyone up and happy. And it seemed to work. \,

They played both some of their own original music and cover songs such as Frankie’s Two Tribes, the Beatle’s Let It Be and Waltzing Matilda, with their own unique twist of reggae and soul.

Their own song You’re Al- ways On My Mind, co-written by Dean Straker and Alan Shepherd, won the top re- cord of the year in the Carri- bean and Barbados. They have also been awarded the title “Band of the Year” and “Most Outstanding Group” by members of the music in- dustry where they are from.

The band members are all 23 years of age. They grew up together in Barbados and

have been playing together for eight years. None of them have received formal music training and none of them can read music. They play it all by ear.

The concert was spon- sored by the Federation of Students and the admission price was unbeatable; it was f,ree. The free tickets unfortu- nately .did not entice nearly enough students away from their books on a typical Wed- nesday study night for a band of this quality.

The group has been touring in southern Ontario since Oc- tober 1. They have played at the El Mocambo and the Bamboo Club in Toronto and have also been to other uni- veisities - McMaster and Western.

Unfortunately, their latest album, Form of Fashion is not available in Canada. The group is trying to break into new markets and their tour in Ontario is a step toward fulfil- ling that goal.

As Straker said, “I hope our Music makes people happy. If they enjoy it then that’s good enough for us.” Judging from the reaction of the crowd at Fed Hall that night, Spice’s music did just that.

Munich Philharmonic: . ,

.Once in a lifetime experience by Peter Lawson Imprint staff

Viewing the performance of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra as a “once in a life- time experience” may be a realistic assessment, but if hope springs eternal, another oppor‘tunity to hear this or- chestra would be more than appreciated. Their perfor- mance at The Centre in the Square on October 28 was a pre-Halowe’en treat.

The orchestra, fouhded in 1893, has embarked on a their first North American tour with conductor Lorin Maazel. Viewed as one of the world’s best, the Munich Philhar- monic Orchestra have hadan illustrious history - being led by musicians and conductors such as Gustav Mahler, Ri- chard Strauss, George Szell and George Solti. The pres- ent conductor also shares world acclaim. Maazel spent his ‘youth in America and his professional career has achieved wide recognition, especially for his work in

opera. A diverse program of

Weber (1786-1826), Hinde- mith (1895-1963), and Tchai- kovsky ( 1840- 1893) greeted the full house at the Centre. The opening work, the over- ture to Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber, belongs to the opera Oberon, written in 1825.

The 20th century German composer, Paul Hindemith, was an artist who wrestled with the concepts of artistic inspiration and purpose. He found inspiration in a painting by German religious painter Matthias Grunewald and wrote an opera entitled Ma- this der Maler. From this opera, Hindemith extracted a symphony titled Mathis” der Maler, containing three movements, Concert of the Angels, The entombment of Christ, and The Temptation of St. Anthony. The music is of the 20th century but pos- sesses elements of old struc- tures such as counter-point and the choral, suggesting the

religious overtones. The final work was the pop-

ular Tchikovsky Symphony No 5 in E minor, Opus 64 which, written in his later years, is filled with tuneful motifs. This standard four movement symphony proved to be the highlight for the au- dience.

Beyond the music, the 130 member Orchestra was the highlight of the evening. They were equal to a finely woven fabric <with Lorin Maazel as the master weaver, usually stretching long lines but in- jecting a short stitch here, or there. An effective symbol helps explain the experience.

Maazel signalled for a violin section entry with a hand which started closed and blossomed open. The violin section responded with a pia- nissimo beginning and then flowered into a crescendo. The overall effect was smooth and. together and showed the strong hand of a discipline which reigns.

The story of Sybilla Mel- and large, it’s a pretty average v yn’s struggle to choose effort.

Sybilla, who has grown up on a farm in the Australian outback, is shuttled off to her grandmother’s _ estate in her adolescence, to learn of the finer things in life. This pleases her, since she is plan- ning to be big in the arts (writ- ing, singing, etc.) and has no desire to be stuck down on the farm for the rest of her days.

Sadly, she finds things at her granny’s to be claustro- phobic; Sybilla is a willful young lass who refuses to be married off, as her granny would have it. Despite this, Sybilla gets herself. involved with the flamboyant, slick- haired Harry Beecham, a strapping young buck from a neighbouring castle. Of course, Harry proposes, but Sybilla declines; she has to find out what’s wrong with the world, and with herself, first. . Sounds like a real ding-a-

ling, right? Actually, she’s not. She’s just a very ambitious girl with a romantic streak who is slightly ahead of her time (the movie is set at the turn of the century), and this may be what ,makes the movie so run- of-the-mill. My Brilliant Ca- reer was made in 1979, which means the public has had six years of up-and-coming, tough-lady stories to look at, both on T.V. and at the mo- vies. No wonder Sybilla’s story seems such a cliche.

Five-band bash for Beattie b; Paul Reichart

-For the uninformed, last Wednesday was the occasion of a political benefit concert upstairs at the Kent Hotel. Five very different bands came in support of. UW grad- uate Steve Beattie’s cam- paign for Waterloo City Council. Beattie is running on a platform of alternative issues and articulating the concerns of minority members of the communitw.

nation of enchanting and note-perfect harmonies and guitars, and they were ushered from the stage with generous applause.

i.e. senior citizens and stu- dents.

First up was Pinwheel, an all-female vocal group from Sarnia. They performed a var- iety of both common and obs- cure tunes in their set, among them being Hay Una A Mujer, a Holly Near song cOncerning the status of women who have disappeared amidst civil chaos in South America, and traditionals such as Blackjack and Dark As The Dungeon, in additon to popular hits like You’re No Good and irhe Weight. Conversation ceased instantaneously at the combi-

2 cactii and three nines

The Beirdo Brothers ap- peared next, running the gamut from baroque to coun- try blues with tunes including Eric Satie’s Gymnopedi, Duke Elfingtoh’s Sophisti- cated Lady, and, particularly well-done,’ Walking Stick by Leon Redbone, all on flute and guitar. the singing Beirdo, being afflict,ed with a catarrh only vocalized on a few songs, but when he did so it showed few signs of weak- ness. They in turn were also very well received.

This set the stage for Beyond the Pale, featuring the. dark horse candidate Steve Beattie on vocals, gui- tar and penny-whistle and Greg Schantz on violin. They regaled the crowd with numbers ranging from pop standards Iike Ain’t Misbe- having and Sunny Side of the Street to melodies trans-

by kec kcrs and Stec h

Rumours are being mon- gered to the effect that a se- cond surprise benefit for Steve Beattie, is in the offing. Look out for news of a show which may well surpass the high standards set at last wee k’s

cribed from Celtic harp corn- L positions. Rating special mention was Beattie’s original setting for Lewis Carol’s The Walrus and the Carpenter. Beattie has a distinctive voice

.and it is hoped that he will not hurt it with all the speeches he will have to make as an alder- man.

Following up were Too Few Men, elements of Future In- sects up from Sarnia, doing Leo Kottke’s Frank Forget and several folk-influenced originals done on steel and acoustic guitar and bass, with great verve and vigour.

The evening closed with Elmsghost, a jazz fusion band which was a treat for those who hung on expressly to hear them. _/

The game featured the debut of Guelph Gry- phon coach Dave Arsenault as a referee. One of the two scheduled officials hadn’t shown up by game time, so Arsenault was recruited out of the crowd and fit in well. Was he unbiase’d? “Defi- nitely not. But 1 won’t say which way”, said Arsenault seconds before game time.

So who is Estonia? They’re one of the best basketball teams in the country, a senior team composed mainly of former OUAA all-stars. It’s j a club with amazing depth and one whose every ‘member is familiar to anyone who has followed OUAA basketball for a while.

The Waterloo Varsity Men’s hockey team split two games on the weekend against the Laurentian University Voyagers. On Saturday night, Waterloo, with one league win behind them, took on the Voyageurs. The game was both chippy and dirty. The Warriors displayed sluggish hockey, and looked to be a little bit under the weather. The Warriors didn’t seem to be anticipating. the Voyageur offensive drives and. as a result, lost, 7 - 5 .

Jamie McKee,’ lead the Warriors with two goals, one a shorthanded goal at 1:39 of the first. Other Warrior scorers were John Goodman, Scott Dick and Dan Magwood.

The Warriors did some regrouping, -and managed to come back on Sunday afternoon to display the kind of exciting hockey that fans were getting quite used to seeing. Waterloo looked sharper and quicker. The Voyageurs, on the other hand, were playing their chippy style of hockey.

Waterloo led after the first with a goal by Todd Coulter. In the second, Waterloo accumulated four goals, all within six minutes, Brian Ross scored at 3:52 after being set up by centreman Steve Linesmen and right-winger Dan Magwood. The three players skated down the ice and connected for a goal so fast and effectively that the Voyageurs just watched in amazement. Other scorers in the second were Kent Wagner, Steve Linesmen -and Jamie McKee.

The Koyageurs responded late in the second with a goal by Gord Davey. ~ However by the end of the second with a 5 to 1 lead. it seemed that the home team would win easily.

UW rookie centreman Jeff Morgan put the icing on the cake by placing the puck high in the left hand top corner with 5:Jl left in the game.

Waterloo is now 2-l in league splay and are on the road this week with games against the University of Guelph and the Ryerson Rams.

Doug Paul - RugPy Doug is one of the veteran members of the

Waterloo rugby team. he is a 4th-year Systems Design students. from Streetsville, Ontario and was a member of the 1983 OUAA Championship team from Waterloo.

Doug is a member of the Ontario Provincial Rugby Team and the Stoney Creek Rugby Foot- ball, as well as playing for the Warriors.

In the final league game last weekend versus McMaster, Doug had an outstanding day. He scored a try as the teams battled to a 13- 13 draw.

Coach Mark Harper explained that Doug played a “super game.” He was the top man on line-outs and was always there to support loose play. From his lock position, Doug continually emerged as the force man on all plays.

On top of all this, the Warriors were without several starting players for the game and Doug took over the team leadership role very effec- tively and played the entire game despite a pain- ful injury.

what’s wrong with football -program? ” by Steve Hayman Imprint staff

’ October 1978, Seagram Stadium. Some of us remember it as a perfect day for playoff football, and, of all teams, the Waterloo Warriors are \in the league semi-final. Waterloo is leading the Laurier Hawks by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter and pressing for an insurance TD. But quarterback Greg Sommerville throws an incterception that WLU runs back for a major. Laurier wins 30-23 in a game most observers felt should have gone to the Warriors.

.

The next season the Toronto Sun picks the Warriors to finish second in the league. They win two, lose five and the slide begins.

We come to 1985 and the team is on the verge of its first winless season ever, with virtually every game ending in a blowout score. Two key players, quarterback Tony lantorno and receiver Rob Kent have quit. Fan attendace is dismal. .The Warriors band is playing the “Mission: Impossible” theme with increasing frequency. Even long time die-hard Warrior, fans are starting to have their patience stretched to the limit.

What is going on? Why can’t U W’produce a winner in football? For the answer to this, or at least a list of the problems, UW’s

athletic director Carl Totzke and football coach Bob McKillop

Campus Ret Schedule

have some answers. Both were eager to dispel one rumour that has been spreading across campus. L

. McKillop: “At no time have I been approached by anyone in the administration of the university or the athleh department with regard to folding the football program. lt,.has never been a seriously discussed alternative.”

Still, some Warriors are already mumbling about moving to other schools. Others who claim to be in the know insist that there is some sort of three year plan for football that’s about to run out. And a few people are calling for a new coach.

Totzke observes that “Everyone can point to. the problems but not too many can point to the solutions.” As a public service to those who can’t yet point to the problems, let’s go over some of the- major ones pointed out by McKillop:

We Don’t Get No Respect “Because of our record, people think we’re not serious about

football,” McKillop said. “people think that UW is somehow the Alcatraz of Academics, that- nobody has any fun here and that you need a 94Y0 average to survive.” McKillop points out that he has a lot more success recruiting from outside of the K-W area, where Warrior football gets less publicity. “Of 15 or 20 top kids that we

$and all the other schools recruited, only 3 came here. And in those cases it was because of academics.”

co-op “We do our best and get lots of cooperation from coordination

with respect to finding local jobs for our players,” McKillop observed. “ But they’re no different from any other students.’ They want to take the best possible job too.”

Athletic Department Rdsources Totzke said that UW has the most poorly financed athletic

program in the province with the lowest ratio of staff persons and the lowest amount of facilities. This situation was not helped by the administration’s donation of Seagram Stadium to the city, which now’can’t be bothered to fix the lights.

Most other *universities have more than one full-time person responsible for football during the season. WI-U, for instance, has four. UW has only head coach McKillop. His assistants are scattered around the city and can only meet with him during or after practice. often having. to stay until 10 p.m, or later. “When (assistant athletic director) Wally Delahey was coaching and 1 was

It was deja vu for’ the women’s competitive soccer team from Conrad Grebel. For the second year in a row the combined team of players from Conrad Grebel and St. Pauls advanced to the cham- pionship game; and for the second year in a row they came out on the losing end.

The loss, however, was not due to a lack of effort. Both teams, the Rejects who are now the Fall, 1985 Campus Rec. champs, and Conrad Grebel, are to be commended for their fine play. The spirits of both teams remained high as they battled in the cold, drizzling rain.

The first half of the game ended in a l-l tie, and the score remained tied throughout the second half. In the first overtime period the score was yet unchanged. It was not until late in the second overtime period that Grebel scored on a penalty kick. At this point it looked as though the game was over, but only minutes later, the Rejects scored on their own penalty kick, forcing the game to be decided on penalty shots.

Congratulations to the Rejects on their victory and thanks to all the players and referees of a terrific season.

Tough deci@ons all over. Teams were matched,weekly with net differences on the average of 2. In A legue, it was a tough decision between Engiholics and Wicked Foulers as both teams tied in records. Wicked Foulers narrowly took Old Boys 1-O and Engihol- its pressed for a 2-O win over Kasha. Wicked Foulers and Engihol- its also met, both knowing thatthe,y had to win to come out on top. Well, no decision could be made, a 2-2 draw resulted.

In the three B leages, Axemen, Elect Few and Conrad Grebel narrowly came out on top in their respective divisions. In league action, Arthur’s Knights were up against Civil Serpents and dropped a 1-O decision to nestle into the second place (playoff divisicn.

Thanks to Mechrophilliacs, Mathe Rec. ltalia, Eurythemechs and Yelowbellys. It was a close decision.

O-LD ACCOUNTANTS NEVER DIE! ’ THEY JUST LOSE THEIR BALANCE

by Barry Cross Men’s Hockey

With bnly one week left in the regular season, several teams are dominating in, both A and B divisions.

In the A league, The Casual Assasins and Suspended Animation both look tough. Last year’s champs, St. Jerome’s A are striving for mediocrity, and Ken Hetherington’s Morticians are sleeping in the basement. -

In Bl, The Outsiders are cleaning up, while The Real Mechoy and Generics battle for second. Twisted Systems are still winless (weekend games excluded).

In B2, the closest division, Renison leads, while The Desparates, -The O-Team and the Blades follow closely on their tails. Karl Heinz, net minder for the O-Team (who have the lowest goals against in the B league) commented: “several of our players, includ: ing Shawn O’Toole, Kev Shanks, Barry Cross, and John Rogers, make up what 1 refer to as an unstoppable European unit.”

In B3, The Timanou Tribe has finally won a few games to put some pressure on the division leading Majic Rats. This year’s disappointment, the Icecomers, are on the bottom.

B4 is led by Guppies Gumbys and thier score-at-will player, Kevin Elop. All Elop had to say was, “You should have seen me play before 1 shaved off my beard.” In the cellar of B4 are Miami Ice and the WCF Martyrs.

once more in gear and while some teams came out at full speed, others sputtered and stalled.

In A league, the Bombers continued to put the’ball in the net with an 1 l-5 win over SJC Blue Demons with Bryce Crouse notching a hat trick. Elsewhere Team Cannibos bounced back from a 3 goal deficit to beat Ray’s Essor 4-3 with T.C.‘s John Gimpel scoring 2 goals to lead the way while Who Cares and Civil Disobedience played to a 4-4 tie with W.C.‘s Dave Toomathand Joel Palmer and C.D.‘s Vine Bonnici each entering 2 goals apiece:

In B league, offence was the name ofthe game and for some teams, defence a forgotten word. In the shootout of the week 4 Wops & 2 White Guys downed West 5 20-0, with Lucia Fortunato scoring 5 for the winners. In other action B leagues two leading scorers were both in gear as C. Vosquo scored 6 times to lead Flat Earth Society to a 17-3 triumph over SJC Gumbys. Paul Fraser also helped the Rats cause tallying 6 goals as well.

Elsewhere, ChemCourage, paced by Doug Worthy’s four goal performance, downed the Matocists 9-1, and Celluoici Heroes outscored South E Rotics 8-2, with Mark Elliot scoring what proved to be the Heroes winning goal. Lastly, but not least, Ti- namoy Tribe beat St. Paul’s 6-l.

continued from page 25 his assistant, he just had to stick his head around the corner to confer with me. Now, 1 have to phone Manulife, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Forest Heights Collegiate, the Innovation Centre, or Schneider’s Meats to get hold of my assistants,” said McKillop.

Some Positive Aspects Western’s coach Larry Haylor observed after last week’s game

that “Waterloo is a much better team than their record indicates.” McKillop is very impressed with the determination ,and continued enthusiasm of his troops in the face of constant blowouts.

“One thing we have is an exceptional nucleus of players, as good, or-‘-better than any other team. Mike. Wright, Dave Shaw, Enzo DiMichelle, Dave Boston, Al Rothwell, Mike Martineau and many many more. No, make that ‘many more’. About five or six. But when these guys get hurt our secondary people aren’t the calibre that’s required. Yet they’re working their tails off and have improved immensely. They wouldn’t have that opportunity elsewhere,” McKillop boasted. “And I have the best group of assistant coaches that I’ve ever worked with.”

The team does have a good core of young players. Rookie quarterback Mike Wright in particular has tremendous potential. McKillop notes that “If we can actively recruit guys of this year’s calibre, we will improve.

But first we have to hang onto the players that we have. lantorno and Kent both quit the team after finding that, due to sub-par performances one week, they weren’t going to be starting next week. While this. “prima-donna” attitude can’t be tolerated, particularly from players, who had been counted on to play prime roles, it is symptomatic of some player dissent.

One Warrior football veteran remarked that “Well, if you’re the boss of a company and one of your managers isn’t performing, what

do you do?’ But that isn’t really an appropriate action here. The U W Warriors aren’t a pro franchise. Winning isn’t everything - it’s certainly the most visible measure of a team’s success, but Totzke points out that “If there are ten goals to a football program - including physical fitness, leadership and so on - then winning is only one of them. And we’re probably suceeding in seven out of those ten areas.” Furthermore, you don’t just dump long-time hard- working UW employees because the team isn’t winning.

Solutions, anybody? Solutions to these problems aren’t easy, but here’s a few

suggestions. - Get the CIAU to institute Academic All-Canadian awards.

this would provide some recognition to players at tough schools like Waterloo.

- Somehow arrange to have at least one full-time assistant coach during football season. Having only one full-time person trying to run a football program is ridiculous.

- Quit feuding with the rugby team. A series of Imprint columns written by a rugby coach last year which attacked the football team did nothing for morale. It’s bad enough that rugby games, which are reasonably successful in attracting fans, are scheduled simultaneously with football games, but when players on both teams scuffle with each other at Fed Hall, everybody loses.

- Promotion. Only one game this year was promoted at all, and it actually drew 1200 enthusiastic fans. Have contests. Give stuff away. At least make posters to let people‘know when the games are.

U W has most of the ingredients needed to be a football power, or at least a team that wins two or three games a year and occasionally makes the playoffs. A not bad core of players. A not bad coaching staff. A large student body. A reasonably good stadium, almost on campus. A band that, believe. it or not, is the envy of most other

-. Cjntario. Big Blue. Five hundred.miftilitres of the clean, true tas$e of Canada’s favourite beer.

schools. An athletic program that’s solid all around. It’s beed called a “sleeping giant”.

But the final key remains to be found. Anybody out there got any ideas?
