Scott Forrest, Federation of Stu-

Other Ont. schools to join week of protest

by Sam Hiyate Imprint Staff

The Council of Ontario Universi- ties (COU) wants more out of the provincial budget next year than the four per cent increase it expects from Ontario treasurer Bob Nixon’s No- vember funding announcement.

The COU last week vetoed a prop- osal to boost academic entry require- ments for university admission as a means of fighting low provincial funding. Rather, the council decided to continue rallying against under- funding through planned action days’.

Dr. William Sayers, president of the council, said “A number of insti- tutions are planning action days on, or very close to, the 16th (of this month). These include U of T, York, Ryerson, McMaster, Ciuelph and Windsor.”

During these “action days”, ad- ministrators, students, faculty and staff will share their conviction of the pressing need to improve the base funding of the universities with elect- ed representatives.

“We’re in the middle (of lobbying strategy),” said Sayers, “we’ve ap- proached a few civil servants, and we’ve had discussions with officers in the ministry.”

UW president Douglas Wright, who represents UW at the COU, said, “These universities are now doing the sort of things we’ve already done. Everyone here is aware (of the under- funding problem).”

UW organized a march last winter in protest of underfunding, and last summer hosted an underfunding conference with delegates from many Ontario universities and repre- sentatives from provincial and feder- al ministries.

UW will be holding an open forum for students October 15 to explain the affects of underfunding. The three main speakers will be Jim Brox, president of UWs faculty associa- tion, Fed President Scott Forrest, and Wright himself.,Wright said that each will talk about the “need to maintain quality”.

According to Wright, universities have been faced with less money and more students over the last 12 to 14 years.

“The things we consider are: 1) quality of university experience, 2) accessibility (the number of stu- dents) and 3) cost (the amount the student pays). Other countries, like England, have taken drastic mea- sures: they’ve (had to) cut back on enrollment so that those who get in will have a quality experience.”

A Federation of Student’s news re- lease says discussions will focus on why a predicted four per cent in- crease in base operating funds for 1987/88 will “even further exacerbate the problems faced by universities”. The release states the Ontario go- vernment is only promising such an inflationary increase.

In an interview this tieek, Forrest called on students to show some concern for this important issue. “Not (many) people are voicing their opinions and the apathetic will pay the consequences”.

Forrest said the cancelled compu- ter fee, which the administration will no longer be able to lega_lly collect after May 1, will be replaced by some new type of incidental fee. Forrest also cautioned that unsuspecting students,might be hit with co-op fees

The UW Faculty Association, while not directly involved in the students’ efforts for increased funding, is sup- portive of the cause, said the group’s president. \

We are “supportive of the initia- tives (taken) by students to raise the pulbic’s conscience” but the group should “not have a leading role” in the student ‘s struggle, said Jim Brox.

Faculty will offer moral support to the students but the association is primarily a self-interest group, he said. ,ne ass’ociation carries on its own lobbying efforts to make “great- er resources available to the universi- ty community”.

The forum is scheduled to begin at 12:30 and will last until 2 p.m.

Personalized underwear by To-p Buns can really impress a date, says manufacturer

by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff

.

Have you ever wondered how to really impress a date? According to two University of Waterloo students, Underloo’s just might be your answer.

Underloo’s are UWs new, person- alized underwear marketed by Top Buns, a company started by students Glenn Rubinoff and Mike Liebmann.

Top Buns was organized last May

after the two had noticed the success of an engineering faculty long under- wear venture. According to Rubinoff, one day Liebmann said, “Gienn, let’s sell underwear.” So they decided to exploit buns.

At present, the company sells briefs for men and women. The un- derwear is 100 per cent cotton, made by Jockey, and comes in various co- lours (black, blue and burgundy for men, and blue, aqua, and peach for

women). De goal of the company is to

create university briefs for vafious Ontario campuses. While Waterloo has Underloo’s, there are Laurier Golden Buns for Laurier, MacBuns for MacMaster, and Western Fun Buns for the University of Western Ontario. Top Buns also supplies groups and organizations with per- sonalized underwear.

The company is looking at ex- panding to out of province universi- ties. In ahdition, they hope to diversify their stock to include boxer shorts. Says Rubinoff, “They’re hot stuff.” (sort of like the buns)

To Rubinoff, the money is just a bonus: “Even if we didn’t make any money, it’s been worth it so far.” He says he and his partner have had fun meeting people through this venture.

Rubinoff and Liebmann noticed students like crazy things, and the two say Underloo’s are perfect as gifts or jokes.

you’re not ashamed of your school and is good for morale. Promoting “fun and good feeling about the uni- versity” is one of the aims of Top

‘Buns. “Everyone is going to know the word ‘Top Buns’ by the end of the year,” says Rubinoff.

“Wearing Underloo’s makes you feel important, and it’s classy,” says Rubinoff, and agrees that people’s self-esteem comes from their under- wear - or what’s in them.

Wearing Underloo’s also shows

Perhaps most important are Rubi- noff s final words: “With Underloo’s you’ll never be caught with your pants down.”

Demand drops for computer education

OTTAWA (CUP) - Demand for computer science courses has dropped at universities across the country, to the relief of professors and administrators.

Fewer students are applying for computer science, once the hottest discipline on many campuses. Ac- cording to administrators, the drop in demand has eased problems such as crowding, overworked staff, and limited equipment resources.

“We have been on an exponential growth wagon for a long time,” said Lee White, chair of the computing science department of the University of Alberta in Edmonton. With enrol- lment down about eight per cent, the department can now adequately ac- commodate its students, he said.

“Finally, there isn’t a frantic feel- ing,” said White, adding he and other administrators can now plan more effectively. “Because it is more pre- dictable, we are able to conduct our- selves as a respectable department.”

At the University of Waterloo, un- dergraduate advisor Rosemary Walker said, “there’s more of a sense that supply and.demand are coming to tune with one another.”

Walker said interest in computer science is still high. “Before they were beating our doors down, but it’s more reasonable now,” she said.

At both Waterloo and Alberta, there are more spots available than students. U of A instituted a tougher grade for qualifying students, al- though Waterloo lowered its stand- ard and is still incurring an enrollment drop.

Walker said some students who might have enrolled, in computer science entered related programs, including computer engineering.

Mike Shepherd, computing science director at Dalhousie Univer- sity in Halifax, said about 15 per cent fewer students enrolled this year. He said computer science does not offer the allure it had five years ago.

“A degree in computer science is no longer a meal ticket,” he said. “There are still positions available, but not as many as there were before.

“As well, the previous crowding of courses may have turned some stu- dents away.” he said.

James Varah, chair of the compu- ter science department at the Univer- sity of British Columbia in Vancouver, said more students are enrolling for senior and graduate lev- el courses.

“A good example on the graduate level is an artificial intelligence course,” Varah said. “Normally, it has 10 to 15 students. It has over 30 this year, and about 10 of those 30 are from outside computer science.”

Among those who study compu- ter science as a secondary program are majors in applied science, com- merce and the liberal arts, who use computing as a tool in their primary work.

Administrators say the decline in enrollment is allowing educational quality to improve. And interest in qualified graduates has not dimin- ished, says Pat Brand, manager of UBC’s Canada Employment Centre.

‘2f you look at applied science and science, computer science did better than any of the other options,.” said Brand.

Companies most interested in computer science graduates are pet- roleum and communications firms, Brand said. \

As a result of a recent move, the provincial The fact of the matter is that nobody in government’s regard for access has also been government wants to deal with underfunding and pinpointed. answers to this question are becoming more and

Nonetheless, the government has once again bypassed the underfunding problem as these fees are paid for in total by students.

provincial government is turning it’s back to the problems and universities will continue to suffer from limited funds for facility costs, maintenance, staffing etc.

Essentially, our provincial government does not believe in blatantly discrediting itself with incidental fees but views the method of hiding such costs within tuition a much better idea. This is a move students should consider a slap in the face of their financial problems.

Almost even more alarming however, is our presidents response to the government move. Rather than applauding the government’s shift of financing to students, he suggested at the board of

The question “is it the responsibility of students already in university to ensure equal access?” is being raised more and more and I would say “yes”. Students must be vocal, and this includes writing our MPPs and participating in funding drives.

The financing question is not restricted to those outside the university, but also concerns those within university and if such measures are not questioned and fought, it will be impossible to prevent the development of financially-based access to university education.

the editor, I decided that a greater good may be served if I highlighted some defects in her diatribes (Imprint, Sept 19 and Ott 3).

To digress for a moment, I thought I’d provoke her by pointing out that my family has been in Canada

* for but two generations and not the requisite 17 or so. That such an individual would have the audacity to disagree with her must truly “offend to the core”, to repeat those immortal words.

In claiming that the original immigrants raised the nation through “grueling labour and self-sacri- fice” while their present-daycounterparts”take the easy route of mounting parasitic invasion at- tempts”, she implies that the original immigrants came here for the sake of building a nation while the newcomers come in anticipation of a “free ride”. The truth is that most immigrants, starting with the very first settlers, were motivated by the chance to improve their circumstances. Immigrants now have the same aspirations as immigrants then, and are consequently equally willing to work hard.

The first letter used the claim that “the Fathers of Confederation . . were unambiguous in their desire to preserve that heritage for future generations”, that heritage being white and Christian. This cer- tainly is not general knowledge, so the onus is upon her to show us that this was indeed the case. Even if we’re generous and allow that she can produce the supporting quotations, we must remember that an attitude isn’t necessarily acceptable just by’virtue of

It may be so that virtually every nation in today’s world has stringent immigration laws. It does not ,automatically follow that Canada must do the same. Canada has a special place in the world. Very few countries can offer the entire combination of bless- ings found here: abundant resources, political sta- bility, affluence and above all, physical space. We are compelled, in fact we have a responsibility, to serve as a world stabilizer to whatever extent we can.

Debunking: where there’s smoke, ‘there’s smoke by Robert Day Imprint staff An open letter to Brian Ventry, firewalker extraordinaire . . . Dear Brian,

How’s it goin’, eh? Just thought I’d drop you a line and see how things are hang- ing. -You remember me, I hope. I’m the loud-mouthed, obnoxious individual who gave you such a hard time when you gave a demonstration of firewalking before your little psychic fair. Ah, you remember now. Good, good. Why yes, I did call your little exhibition a “cheap parlor trick”, says so right here in the Record article, mighty unpleasant of me, but then life’s tough all over, eh, Brian?

Anyway, the purpose of this little dis- sertation is just to remind you that we still have some unfinished business, or had you forgotten? See, we never did settle this to my satisfaction. My original state- ment, which is down in black and white for all the world to read, is that there is nothing particularly difficult about fire- walking. Yes, Brian, I know I declined

your spur-of-the-moment challenge to walk across the coals myself, mostly be- cause there were only about 20 people present, and half of them seemed to be groupies of yours anyway. Why bother?

The problem, here, Brian, is that I care- fully explained the physics of firewalking to the reporter from the Record, but the explanation s,eems to have lost you totally (not surprising, since you spent all your time trying-to disrupt a perfectly civilized interview, and I do so hate being inter- rupted). So I’m going to try again, and this time I’m going to use real short words so even you can catch it. Pay attention now, Brian, this is credible material.

We’ll start with a simple experiment. (Children, have your parents do this for you.) Place an aluminum cake pan in the oven. Turn the oven to 500F. Wait. Open the oven and place your hand in the mid- dle of the oven. No problem, right? Good. Now grab the cake pan.

Uh, dear. The problem here is that even though

both the air in the oven and the cake pan

have the same temperature, the cake pan contains more heat, and does not cool appreciably when you touch it. The very same principle applies to those coals you hoofed it across, Brian. If you watch care- fully you might notice that, after you lift your foot from a patch of coals, the coals are noticeably darker since they have lost a great deal of heat. No muss, no fuss, no pain.

As a matter of fact, it wasn’t even a particularly impressive display of fire- walking since many people-have done it with much hotter coals. Some of them don’t even claim to be psychics. And I’m still waiting for your comments on the demonstration of firewalking put on in California by a group of skeptics attended by 1,000 spectators, 125 of whom de- cided to take a chance and walk. So much for your “developmental seminars” on mental powers. Feeling embarrassed yet, Brian?

But the best is yet to come. You origi- nally said you would be happy to do the walk again after I covered the coals with

Our drinking Water

aluminum sheeting (says so right here in the article, Brian, unless you were just joshing me. You really shouldn’t kid co- lumnists with no sense of humor, ya know. And the next day, you refused. What’s the problem, Brian? Cold feet?

Then you had the outrageous gall to tell me that, since I had not accepted the challenge of the previous night, I had no right to harass you while in the same breath you said that, if I had walked, it would have proved nothing except that I had a “positive” attitude, whatever that is. Lemme see, if I don’t walk, I’m a co- ward; if I do walk, it doesn’t prove any- thing . . . This is going to require a bit of thought; I’ll get back to you.

The bottom line here, Brian, is that I couldn’t get a straight answer out of you, so I’m going to make it really simple. You bring your travelling road show back to town, bring your friends and bring some wood, and we’ll walk. Both of us. Then I’ll get the aluminum and we can have some fun. It’s time for you to put up or shut up.

Well, Brian? I’m waiting.

The ministry of environment does not test the quality of bottled water in Ontario. Some distribu-

1980 ministry of environment study showed Toron- to water contained more than a dozen industrial pollutants. This was not lake water but actual To- ronto tap water. Water treatment systems cannot filter chlorinated compounds such as trihalome- thanes which are created when chlorine is used to kill bacteria and viruses in water. Some chlorinated compounds such as chloroform are carcinogens.

Some people have sought out spring water or well water hoping it will not be contaminated with the usual industrial pollutants which enter munici- pal water systems only to find the water contains chemicals such as fertilizer. Also, well or spring water is not usually chlorinated. If chlorine-free water is not handled properly or left to stand, bacte- ria and viruses can grow which can cause serious health problems. Boiling tap water kills bacteria and viruses, but does not rid water of most industrial pollutants. Boiling also eliminates chlorine so the water must be handled properly and not left to stand.

Distillation of water eliminates bacteria and vir-

no legislation exists which requires them to do so. Carbon treatment systems are the most effective

methods to rid water of industrial pollutants and chlorine compounds. Carbon systems absorb w v chemicals such as trichlorethylene which have raised local attention. Fortunately, carbon systems do not absorb essential minerals.

The selection of various water treatment tech- niques is complicated and should be made with care. All methods can be hazardous if used improp- erly. People with chronic health problems or people who must drink large quantities of water should consult a physician.

A Different Light by Chris Gerrard Imprint staff

AIDS! Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Both of these labels conjure up visions of horror to most of us. The instinct is to run. The person who is infected is seen as some sort of hideous monster by the public at large. Yet this is a real person. Regard- less of what society, religions, and government have to say about the personal practices of this individual, another human being is dying. It could be your friend. It could be your brother. It could be your lover.

This is not my story. I have been fortunate enough-that none of my friends have died of AIDS. However, I do have people close to me that have gone through the experience of seeing someone they love die. What do you do? How do you handle it? Yourself? The other person?

“I have something to tell you, dear. I went to the doctqr today. . . the test results are back. I tested positive. I have AIDS.”

“No! They’re wrong. They have to be! You’re fine. You feel O.K., don’t you?”

When someone you love has AIDS, your first reaction is to deny it. And then you cry..It is never easy to see someone you love in pain. But when you know that person will die, and there is no hope of survival, the situation becomes ghastly.

One of my close friends had to say good-bye to an ex-lover of his forever nine months ago. He still cries. His ex was admitted to hospital in Ottawa in January of 1986, suffering from pneumo- nia. He was aware of his condition at the time. He was never discharged from that hospital and died from the pneumonia three weeks later. His memory still lives dearly in the hearts of those who knew him. To his friends, family, loved ones, and associates, he was a real person.

The most important thing for a close one to the victim is not to se&k blame - not for yourself, or for the sufferer. There is fear, fear that those who were intimately involved with the loved one may themselves become victims. Take time to cry. Not for the tragedy of the disease, not out of fear, not out of anger, but cry for the loss of someone dear. Take time to remember all the good. Support the victim, show him he is not a cast-away from society. The most’ important element of the treatment is love. With love, we can- persevere. Continue with your own life when they are gone - do not get dragged down.

Most importantly, fight. Fight for rights. Fight for understand- ing. Fight for research. Fight for life.

comedy nights. All other Board of Entertainment events are priced on a breakeven basis. Mr. Done’s case in point: Love and Rockets performance last year was spon- sored by the Arts Student Union and made approximately $200. Hardly a bucketful o’money.

If the Federation was con- cerned solely in making a profit, there would be no live entertain- ment at Fed Hall because sales drop off drastically on nights when there is a band. That is why a compromise was struck in the form of the Fed Hall booking poli- CY.

It is this policy that prevents the Board of Entertainment from booking Love and Rockets. It was revised by myself and the commit- tee of presidents last year to nor- mally allow only one booking (with a cover charge) per weekend (each Thursday, Friday and Satur- day period). The-reason for this is to allow students to have the op- portunity to go to Fed Hall on the weekend and dance without pay- ing a cover charge.

The one date Love and Rockets could have been booked is on the same weekend as Images in Vogue has been booked. To book Love and Rockets would have been a direct violation of the pres- ent policy, a policy which student council voted overwhelmingly in favour of because students do not want to pay a cover charge every night of the weekend.

Another point where Mr. Done does not have his facts correct concerns the Fed Hall fee. The fee pays solely for the mortgage on the building. Not a,benny of it was ever intended to be used on enter- tainment.

I do not believe the Federation of Students are sacrificing the students’ entertainment on the “altar of money”. I believe that- the entertainment on campus has been very good this term. Let them know that you are happy. Let Scott Forrest know you are happy. Better yet, let Paul Done know he should research his facts

S. African uranium block&l MONTREAL (CUP) - Public protest has forced the British multin&ional RiosTint Zinc Ltd., which min,es ura- nium in South African-occupied. Na- mibia, to find another shipping line to transport uranium to Canada.

This could mean uranium will no longer come through the Port of Montreal, or any other Canadian port.

Most shipments are on route to Eldorado Nuclear Ltd., a Canadian crown corporation which processes and refines the metal for export in Port Hope, Ont.

Rio Tinto has used the Norway- bases Canadian Christensen African Lines (CCAL) to ship uranium into Canada for several years, and is cur- rently under contract with Eldorado.

But now, according to David Bau- man, CCAL’s Canadian representa- tive, public outcry about the illegally-obtained Namibian uranium has prompted Rio Tinto to dropr CCAL.

“We are very close to making that decision, but it was made for us by our suppliers (Rio Tinto) because of the problem it was causing us,” said Bauman.

John Kinloch, a member of Direct Action Network Against Military Nu- clear Racism, has been engaged in the protest campaign against the shipments since last April.

“Eldorado Nuclear is not going to allow this to interrupt their contract,” he said. “Both Eldorado and the Can- adian government have stated that breaking their contract would be det- rimehtal to their reputation in the in- ternational business world.

“The big word for Eldorado is to find another shipper - Canadian, European or otherwise - to bring the iranium into the plant at Port Hope,” he said.

Trade sanctions against South Af- i-ican imports announced recently by the federal government include a ban on uranium as well as other pro- ducts such as coal, iron, steel and agricultural goods.

But according to the external af- fairs department, the only uranium coming. into Canada is i‘lamibian, not South African, and therefore is not subject to sanctions. As a result, the Canadian government intends to honour the contract between Eldora- do and Rio Tinto until its termination in 1988.

Peter Senton, an official of CCAL’s North American broker, March Ship- ping Ltd., said the shipping line has been unjustly caught in the controv- ersy surrounding Canada’s trade with South Africa.

“It is rather unfair for a protest to take place against a company that is transporting material,” he said. “This

carrier, regardless of politics or social upheaval in South Africa, has a main objective to carry products from A to B.”

Both Senton and Bauman said the loss of Rio Tinto’s business, com- bined with government sanctions, could seriously threaten the future operations of their companies..

“It means we are going to concen- trate more on the U.S. market,” said Bauman, “which is disappointing since we’ve operated a stable service from South Africa to Canada since 1948 and this is the first time there has been government intervention.”

Asked if he knew about the new sanctions and CCAL’s rejection, an official at Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. said, “No, but even if I did, I wouldn’t say anything. That is a commercial ar- rangement.”

As a crown corporation, Eldorado is not legally required to divulge any information to the public under the Access to Information Act.

* Cowboy Junkies put on an excellent show in Toronto

by Jeff Preyra inal called Take Me, a soulful mei: Imprint staff ody taken from their new album.

‘The Cowboy Junkies packed the Rivoli in Toronto October 4 to cele- brate the release of their first album, Whites Off Earth Now.

Their sound has been described as “Valium Blues” and this may be partly right, but it doesn’t properly describe the jagged edge that lurks just below the surface of their music. Consider-the pulsing bass line and slashing guitar riff on their excellent cover of Bruce Springsteen’s State Trooper, a red-eyed journey through a narcotic American night.

This band has been a part of the local music scene for some time and have managed to attract a small, but loyal following. Despite this, they look very self-conscious. Their lead guitarist, Michael Timmins, plays with his back to the audience; the siren keeps her hair in front of her face and both arms folded in front of her; bassist, Alan Anton, who’s not bad for a guy who plays with one finger, spent a good deal of his time facing drummer Peter Timmins, who was largely anonymous behind the drum kit.

Something dangerous is pulling you back from the edge of sleep but rolling above this-calling with a voice as soothing as a back-rub is siren Margo Timmins.

The material was covered largely without guitar or vocal heroics but it would have been intriguing to see what these performers could do if pushed closer to the limits of their ability. Still, an excellent show well worth checking out. In a similar style, Cowboy Junkies

went through a list of Blues stand- ards including I’ll Never Get Out of These Blues Alive, and Baby Please Don’t Go and then tossed in an orig-

Opening for Cowboy Junkies were Scott B. and Chris Houston. Scott B. is a fine balladeer and quite entertaining on acoustic guitar, but

he insisted on maximum distortion for parts of some songs. The effect was both cacophonous and distract- ing but still may be used to good effect if toned down somewhat.

Chris Houston came on in dark glasses and shiny gold suit and pro- ceeded to distort his face and bom- bard us with discordant chord changes. The consensus at our ta- ble seemed to be that this guy was crap and out to make a quick buck. I disagreed. Houston has a perverse sort of appeal that at least some of the audience appreciated. He rambled on about drugs, the NRA, America, television and various oth- er subjects of some interest. Some- one called for a reading from the Book of Elvis and Houston replied “It’s not time yet”.

Maybe so. The message was wil- ling but the medium was weak. Maybe if Houston had a video screen behind him and some TVs up on stage he could pass himself off as a performance artist and attract the art crowd. Who knows.

Hip Oshawa surprises! Dave Downer Special To Imprint

One of the hipper places to go for music in Ontario is, surprisingly, a town known mostly for assembly lines and lunch buckets. The source of this entertainment is the infre- quently held Star Clubs held by Star Records of Oshawa. Incidentally, Star Records is also an independent label with names such as The For- gotten Rebels, The Ben Vaughn Combo and Direct Action on its ros- ter.

The Star Clubs compare very closely with the Southern Ontario Blues Association gigs put on here in Kitchener-Waterloo. Like SOBA, the Star Clubs are held in a small hall with portraits of royalty smiling complacently down. Like Glenn Smith of SOBA, Mike of Star Re- cords puts these gigs on mainly as a labour of love, bringing in largely un-

heard-of-bands who deserve to be heard.

However, the primary way that Star Clubs compare to the blues nights at the Legion is that they are packed with music junkies looking for a fix of pure entertainment. In the Star Club’s case, that could mean anything across the musical spectrum from blues, rockabilly, country, garage/trash to bare bones ‘rock ‘n’ roll.

Heating up the chill and damp night were Rosco’s Gang from New York and Walk The West, from Nashville. At 10 p.m., Walk The West stepped onstage, accompan- ied by Johnny Cash’s I Walk The Line - pumped in at tooth-rattling volume. They then proceeded to storm through an 80-minute set of kick-ass rock ‘n’ roll.

The band, comprised of Paul Kirby, Richard Ice and brothers Will and John Golemon, played unapo-

K. W.S.O. ‘Concert series

Symphony in full stride by Pete Lawson Imprint staff

‘With the first performance of the Masterpiece Concert series at Cen- tre in the Square, the Kitchener- Waterloo Symphony Orchestra is in full stride for their 1986-1987 concert series.

The evening performance on Oc- tober 4 (also on October 3), jumped a century from Gluck and Mozart to Mahler.

The brief opera overture to Orfeo ed Euridice .by Christoph Gluck (1714-1787) provided a serene intro- duction to a night of music.

The charm of Mozart completed the first half of the program with the Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat, K595. Wolfgang Amadeus Mo- zart (1750-1791) wrote the concerto (No. 27) in his final year, and the music is vivacious with the theme in the third movement,, Allegro, echo- ing his longing for spring expressed in his lieder from the same year.

The concerto waswell presented with soloist Michel Block. Because the. cadenzas are short and lack ex- travagance, the work is-subtle and Mr. Block, though possessing tech-

nical agility, lacked animation beyond the charm that this music embraces.

If Mozart is viewed as the charm of music then Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) must be viewed as mus- ic’s fatalist. His symphonic song-cy- cle, Das Lied uon der Erde (The Song of the Earth), is a six-part work based on 8th century Chinese poe- try translated into German by Hans Bethge. With song titles, Drinking Song of Earth’s Misery, Autumn Loneliness, or Farwell, the words and music convey a doomed view that even beauty and happiness will fade.

This poignant expression was masterfully delivered by the arches tra and conductor Raffi Armenian, and the soloists, William Johns (te- nor) and Victor Braun (baritone). The songs, Das Trinklied uom Jammer der L-de, Von der Jugend, and Der Trunkene im Fruhling, were charged with the energy of dra- matic tenor William Johns, and Vic- tor Braun’s broody depth impassioned Der Einsame in Herbst, Von der$chqheit, and Der Abschied.

logetic Nashville thrash, reminis- cent of the style of the Georgia Sattelites (“the South’s Rolling Stones”, agrees the drummer Ri- chard).

They played, almost exclusively, originals with only two spirited cov- ers, The Blue Moon of Kentucky and The Wabash Cannonball. It was impossible not to move to this music. They play with an intensity that Jason and The Scorchers, the band they will inevitably be com- pared to, can only hope to obtain. Walk The West’s killer debut album is out now - check it out.

After a 30-minute intermission, New York’s Rosco’s Gang took the stage. Differing from Walk The West in that they have no records out, Rosco’s Gang instead perform only for fun and a change of pace. All the members have other projects which occupy most of their time. Female vocalist Syd Straw is from- The Golden Palominos, while guita- rist Eric Ambel plays with the Del- Lords. The band is rounded out by Larry Willey, Jack-Box Smead and Mr. Thing. Their bond is that they are all close friends from New York who share a love for folk, country and “roots rock”.

Eric Ambel began the evening alone doing a Billy Bragg-ish rendi- tion of Neil,Young’s Southern Pacif- ic. Syd then joined him for a few foot-stomping, hand-clapping acoustic numbers. Gradually, the entire band moved onstage for more than two hours of rousing and en- thusiastic movers, ranging from covers of Hank Williams Window Shoppin’ and Dylan’s If You Gotta Go to their own cookin’ originals. The crowd and the band, fortified by the suds du jour and other, more illicit, goods kept the fever high throughout the entire set. Walk The West guitarist, Paul and drummer, Richard returned and added their talents for two final paint-blistering blues numbers before wrapping up the night at 2:30.

Amid the cracker-chomping I was able to make out that she’d been doing the Louisiana R&B thing for a large part of her 37 years. With a third album just released on the cool Rounder label, it seemed that the

rigourous tour schedule, including this-stop at the Legion (October 3), was working well to expand her au- dience.

Although now based in Austin, Marcia learned her craft in New Or- leans picking up things along the way from Irma Thomas, Allen Tous- saint and needless to say, Professor Longhair. Said Marcia: “I learned a lot from listening to Jeff Honish’s records. I believe there are six songs on Hot Tamale Baby that we found in Jeff’s collection.

Bob Stevens, a Legion regular for the past 25 years said, “Y’know, Jer- ry Lee is great but she’s gotta be second best . . . She takes a back seat to nobody!”

Though the three sets consisted mainly of southern standards like It Hurts To Be In Cove, Neuer Like This Before, Gonna Forget About You, and Tear It Up, they were stewed in a down-home gritty pas- sion and given a distinct gumbo fla- vouring which made everything they did sound like there own.

Down-home gritty passion

Bob shook his head sadly, “I’m havin’ a helluva time sittin’ still. Y’know I’ve got arthritis in my right leg. I had them take a look at it at the hospital this morning, that’s why I can’t dance.” But Route 66 had Bob singing along and when they launched into The Push and Pull and Tough Lover, only bullets could have stopped him from joining the crowd on the floor.

Musings of a Maniac .Roots-. by Chris Wodskou Imprint Staff

Nathalie Merchant retires from the inevitable between-set tape of Wild Thing, Magic Carpet Ride, and Purple Haze and coolly sinks into a lumpy, comfortable couch in the re- ceiving area of RPM in Toronto. “The guys are all out eating things I don’t eat,” she says, explaining the absence of her fellow band members, “chicken legs or some- thing.” Is this sweet-voiced, ,win- some, 21 year-old vegetarian dressed in prairie Depression chic really the singer for a band called 10,000 Maniacs?

Well, yeah, but they’re not exact- ly the zany bunch of hellbent de- mentoids their name suggests. Jamestown, New York’s favorite sons and daughter have been he- ralded by some as the heirs appar- ent to the legendary Fairport Convention and the comparisons stand up well, especially in today’s overly glitzy and less socially and intellectually conscious times. Lyr- ics don’t come much sharper or more poignantly evocative than Merchant’s and the band, which de- rives its name from one of those classic trash/horror flicks from the ‘5Os, plays some of the most literary, toe-tappingest, folky pop you’re ever likely to hear.

Yet in spite ‘of a contract with WEA Records which released their

’ third and best album, The Wishing Chair, last fall, 10,000 Maniacs have yet to really transcend their cult sta- tus. Their tour this summer, which brought a few hundred enthralled fans to RPM and saw them upstage

Wishing Chair third record

a rather listless incarnation of The Cure at their concert at Kingswood with an infectiously energetic but all too short set, should shift some un- its for them. But even though she admits it was a “shock” to be signed to a major label, Nathalie thinks it’s more surprising to be considered a cult band when the only strange thing about their music is that it’s good.

“I really think a large portion of the world is ready for what we’re doing, but just don’t know it exists. I mean, if Bob Dylan was someone new and just released Highway 61 Revisited that it would sell millions of copies? No way!

“It’s largely the fault of the corpo- rate nature of radio. Corporations rule radio and if something doesn’t fit into their tight, little format, they just ignore it and no one gets to hear about it. That’s why bands on the independent level are the only ones with any freedom . . . or bands on major labels that don’t sell any re- cords,” she says with a knowing grin.

Still, they’re grateful for their con- tract which means they don’t have to go through the manufacturing and distribution hassles that plagued them through their first two releases, Human Conflict No. 5 and Secrets of the I Ching: “The first two records were self-pressed. We recorded them by ourselves in Buffalo and sold what we could and gave the rest away to friends. Then they got picked up by this label in Atlanta that ripped us off blind. We didn’t see a cent from either of those releases.”

The first two releases were also marked by a lilting, buoyant reggae influence that was abandoned in fa- vour of a rootsier American sound filled out with everything from man- dolins to accordions on The Wish- ing Chair. Is it still an influence?

“Well, it’s still a strong influence, but to me, reggae is about being oppressed and yearning for free- dom. It just seemed bogus to be singing about that when I’m not op- pressed myself. We started playing reggae in the first place because we love and respect the form so much so we stopped when we felt we,were just adulterating it.

“If I’m going to write meaningful lyrics lyrics, I have to write out of experience, from something I know about. That’s why our lyrics are so personal.”

abandoned earlier reggae influence

And a major part of their expe- rience is that of being American. But in spite of their sound and an ob- vious fascination with the American myth, Nathalie rejects the way 10,000 Maniacs have been lumped in with The Long Ryders, Green On Red, et al as part of last year’s much- vaunted American roots rock revi- val.

“We happened to be in London at the time that all that hype was going on and we were shocked at the press we were getting,” Nathalie ex- plains. “I think the British music press was just bored and wanted to manufacture a movement. We don’t really think of ourselves as Ameri- can - our lyrics deal with America just because that’s what we know.”

Perhaps the greatest difference between 10,000 Maniacs and the re- cent crop of Yankee revivalists is their aloofness from American sen- sibilities. There are no celebrations of Americanism in their music; they are trying to destroy the myths that Americans believe about them- selves and stop those who propa- gate false versions of American almightiness and righteousness.

“There’s a lot I love and a lot I disdain about America,” Nat halie says adamantly. “For instance, all through school, we were taught that the atomic bomb was good because it ended the war. But then you move on in school and you begin to realize that some people consider it the greatest crime in the history of man- kind. What I really want to do is

attack the American educational system. All it does is perpetuate these myths by not making kids face their history and reality.”

On the other hand, songs like Can’t Ignore The Train, Cotton Al- ley, and Back 0’ the Moon recall the wistful haze of growing up in rural or, smalltown America. Packed with memories we all share, they ‘are songs that skip with irrepressible vi- gor and melodies that defy you not to hum along, but which also have a rare, unhurried gentleness. Not sur- prisingly, they have decided to re- main in their native Jamestown, hardly the throbbing metropolis that New York or even Albany is.

“We’ve stayed in Jamestown ‘cos we don’t like big cities. I don’t want to feel threatened when I go walking or shopping. I want to be able to breathe clean air and drink clean water.”

Smalltown flavour essential- to appeal

But Nathalie admits that being based in a small city that isn’t Athens, Georgia has its drawbacks when you’re a musician. Most im- portantly, there’s not much of a scene in Upstate New York - 10,000 Maniacs have played all of two gigs in Jamestown over the past three years. But there are other problems as well: “Jamestown has a very provincial sort of attitude and you don’t have to do very much to put people off. I mean, I’ve had things thrown at me for wearing stuff like this,” she says, pointing to her long, unpermed hair and long, floral-patterned skirt.

Redneckism notwithstanding, their essential smalltown flavour is central to 10,000 Maniacs’ appeal. They have that front-porch sort of hospitality not generally associated with limo-driven rock stars that will have them walking through a con- cert hall unnoticed and striking up a conversation with someone who has absolutely nothing to do with the music industry except that they like 10,000 Maniacs’ music and their idea of a light show is having a red one, a green one, and a blue one. A more genuine and likable band would be tough to find.

Some Have called him a legend, others say he’s a genius and a true pioneer of savage rock ‘n’ roll. One thing everyone can agree on is that nothing remotely com- pares to the bizarre sound that seeps out of Hasil Adkins.

After almost 30 years in obscur- ity, living in a $40 a month tarpaper shack in Boone county West Virginia, Hasil Adkins is at last in the public eye.

The Hasil Adkins resurgence was set in motion first by the Cramps cover of the Adkins late- fifties original She Said, a song Hasil recorded in his home on a two-bit recorder. From there, Ha- silmania has snowballed to obs- cene proportions: In France recently, a reported 40,000 people had bought advance tickets on the threat of a local Hasil Adkins performance. Collectors in Europe are said to be paying up to $5,000 for an original Air label pressing of Hasil’s Chicken Walk single and record companies in Sweden (Dee Jay Jamboree) and England (Big Beat) have been peeling through their wallets for the rights to re-issue Adkins’ recordings.

The newest and best of these re-issue collections has been re- leased by the hip KICKSters Billy Miller and Miram Linna on their NYC-based Norton Records. One is the 16 track Out To Hunch that finds ‘Haze’ at his/meanest and rawest from the years 1955-65 screamin’ and bangin’ out every sound in his very own one-man band style. “I can’t have no band,” says Haze, “I like to change to different chords and different keys, can’t expect no one to follow me.”

Besides the classic She Said (about some gal who “looked like a dyin’ can of commodity meat”) and Chicken Walk, the album also contains the frightening No More Hot Dogs: “I’m gonna cut your head off/ Hang it on my wall/ The you can’t eat/ No mo’ hot dogs” and a number of previously unreleased chestnuts.

The other recent Norton re-

lease is the Haze’s House Party E.P. which contains recordings from the 1978-83 period. No less grungy, the four songs sound as if they were assisted by five or six lightnin’ fueled pals and recorded from the inside of a pickle barrel.

It seems that after years of record company rejections, Hasil’s time has finally come. The rest of the story comes from the horse’s mouth: Imprint: Can you tell me about how you first started playing music in West Virginia? Hasil: I started when I was about six years old. Back then times was bad, you couldn’t get a guitar . . . I’d only seen a guitar. I’d take milk cans and play on the ends of ‘em. Then I tried lard buckets, four-pound lard buckets ‘bout so big around (hands one foot apart). When I got to be bigger, I sold what they called Lan- caster gardening seeds and used the money to buy a paper, cardboard

Soul Asylum: Mil by Chris Wodskou and Tim Perlich Imprint staff

“Hey dudes, whatcha drink?” hollered Soul Asylum lead guitarist/vocalist Dan Murphy by way of a greeting when we sauntered into their room in Toronto’s, er, scaled-down ver- sion of The Waldorf-Astoria. Stepping over the collection of rags, bedsheets, and clothes strewn on the floor to soak up a recent toilet overflow, Dan introduced us to the fridge, then to the rest of the band: Dave Pirner, the stringy-haired songwriter-singer-guitarist; drummer Grant Young, and bassist Karl Mueller.

Although they are by no means newcomers to the Minneapolis scene, it wasn’t until Twin- Tone’s (The Replacements’ and Jonathan Richman’s American label) release of Made To Be Broken this year that put them just behind Husker Du and The Replacements in the hierarchy of non-Prince-affiliated Minnea- polis bands.

Produced by Husker Du’s Bob Mould, Made To Be Broken is one of the strongest, most powerful records to emerge Stateside this year. The breakneck buzz of Pirner’s rhythm guitars and his scabrous, yet sensitive

paper guitar. I ney aian I nave pias- tic guitars then. I played that til I got a bike and traded that for a Gibson guitar. Who were you listening to in those days? Hmm, Jimmy Rodgers and a lot of black music. Back then they had a lot of blues singers. I really loved that. I also listened to Hank Williams and the Carter Family later on. Jer- ry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins too. Do you remember recording your first single? Yeah. I done my songs at home y’know. I cut those songs that are on this Out To Hunch in the year of ‘55. I can remember them good. The place didn’t have any drums in it so I had to use my feet on the floor for the drums so you can hear ‘em good. My first record came out in ‘61 on the Air record label from Miami, Florida. It was the Chicken Walk and She’s Mine. I recorded them on my home tape in ‘58 or ‘59. After

that, I just had one record after another. A couple bf years ago the Cramps recorded She Said and that’s when they started movin’ like a maniac. They heard them sing it and then they wanted to get a hold of me and put mine out. When they did, everybody bought it and then they wanted more songs. The al- bums are doin’ real good now all around the world! What do you think about the Cramps? Have you ever seen them play? _ Naw, but they wrote me letters. They said they really liked that She Said. At the end of every show they play that song and they say the kids and everyone just go wild. They had it on an album and they’re thinkin’ of doin’ more of my songs but I don’t know if they’re gonna do ‘em. I liked the music part of the way they done it, but they ain’t got the lyric sheet so they ain’t got the words right in it. They missed a lot of ‘em too. I think it’s alright. I especially like that mid- dle part where they take off. I get tickled the way they do that part in the middle where they go (cooing): “Who0 hoo hoo Whoo hoo hoo . . . “ that’s just like a bird from back home. Yeah, it sounds just like that! Do you have a lot of songs just lying around someplace? Yeah, I’ve got some real good ones lyin’ around. I’ve done so many about cuttin’ women’s heads off and stuff that now I’m gonna start ieavin’ there heads alone and cuttin’ there scalps off instead. Chicken Plop and a song about my girlfriend Ellen Marie Bowes should be comin’ out soon. I call her Punchy so I wrote this song for her Punchy Wunchy Wicky Wacky Woo. We cut about 10 or 12 songs in March in New York and we’ll probably cut a few more before I head back home. Do You still live in West Virgi- nia? Yeah, I live around Madison, not in the city but like Boris Karloff y’know, by myself, way off from eve- rybody. Anybody who’s seen my place says they loved it. West Virgi- nia’s a pretty place. There ain’t no- body around to bother me. If I want to play music in the middle of the night, I just go ahead and make all the noise I want to.

Jeffrey Hatcher Canadian Rocker on -the rise by Tim Perlich Imprint staff

There’s something about Jeff Hatcher and The Big Beat that when you see them at a place like the Hor- seshoe or at Grossmans, you can immediately sense that this group will soon outgrow the local Toronto scene. Jeff Hatcher has a knack of writing a song that is at once gruffly emotive, melodic and stark in its bare simplicity. Like the best pop, each of his songs sound as if they’ve been around forever. Their music snaps together so easily and ob- viously, it makes you wonder why everyone isn’t writing classic pop songs.

Four of those songs of which I speak are found on the recently re- leased Jeffery Hatcher and The Big Beat E.P. A voice that comes across as being an equal mix of John Hiatt and John Fogerty pushes its way above- the crystal clear mix with a disarming conviction and self-as- suredness rarely found in even vete- ran performers. Choosing the four songs for the E.P. must have been no easy task considering the (at least) 30 originals that they’ve been playing live at different venues in To- ronto this past summer. Of the four, Deliver Me with its mournful, haunt- ing quality is probably the most complete composition, yet the vocal performance and harmony of Mid- night Train leaves the deepest im- pression.

Imprint: Let’s start with some background information. I know you’re from Winnipeg, what about the rest of the band?

Jeff Hatcher: Well Steve Vickery our bass player is from Toronto but my brothers Paul and Don as with myself are all from Winnipeg. We

‘started playing for the first time last fall. I mean all three of us playing together for the first time since about ‘79. Don used to play bass with us years ago and Dave Briggs who was my songwriting partner, left live performing about two years ago. We called ourselves The Fuse for awhile then we were The Six.

We also put out an independent album under, that name which served basically as a promotional tool. Now that I’m the songwriter and front-person or whatever, it’s Jeffery Hatcher and The Big Beat.

Jeffrey Hatcher

from everywhere: white country guys and black R&B guys. There is not a lot of blues in our sound but quite a bit of country and blues strung together like the mid-fifties, the very beginning of rock ‘n’ roil. It’s more a white sound than a black sound because the writing of the songs is driven by the guitar I play and that, I think, is a very white me- thod of songwriting. I have a really obvious way of playing guitar. It’s not very subtle and that strikes me as being a very white approach.

I don’t know, as far as the elec- tronic stuff goes, it seems to be pret- ty limiting. Listening to that is a lot like watching videos or watching strippers, which I don’t do, or watching porn movies, which I don’t do either. Once or twice is about it for something disposable like that. It doesn’t do a lot for the soul.

The Big Beat sound is quite simple using just the basic gui- tar, bass and drum arrangement without any special effects.

What about influences? You seem to sound a bit like John Hiatt but I’ve also heard compar- isons to Joe Ely.

Your style of music is not un- like a lot of the stuff coming out of the States now. Have -you been listening to any of the American “Roots Rock”?

I’ve heard so many comparisons y’know and they’re all so different and varied. I think its easier to say who you like or admire rather than who influenced you. I love Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye but it’s hard to find them in the songs I’ve written. Influences seem to come

There’s a lot of good stuff that they’re calling “American Roots” or whatever. Los Lobos, the Blasters and REM are the closest to having whole albums worth of material that I like.

Yeah, I like the natural sound you get from an amp with an electric guitar. It’s my favourite sound. Over the years we’ve tried different things, Paul even had two bass drums once when we were young brats. We’ve tried a foot pedal or . two but they never last. They’re either lost or stolen and we’ve never replaced them.

Any major label recording deals in the works?

What about the synth-music that seems to still have a stran- gle hold on the air waves in these parts?

There are a few people in New York that we’ve been in touch with for the last couple of years. The band has fallen apart and regrouped and all through that time I’ve been sending out tapes. At this point there are a few people in the States quite interested in the group. No one in Canada is interested except one independent label here in To- ronto. It seems to me that wherever you live, you have to make contact with London, New York or Los An- geles.

Toronto is not a miniature Lon- don or New York - it’s much more like Wales. As Wales is to New York, so is Toronto, really. This isn’t the recording center of anything ex- cept the local independent labels. The biggest record companies here in Canada are just branch plants of their American counterparts with extremely limited authority for sign- ing acts. When they can sign acts, they can rarely sell things outside this country which I find too heart- breaking a possibility to consider. Luckily f”or us, the people that have shown interest in us aren’t from here, they’re from New York, Lon- don and L.A. I mean if nobody liked us except people from record com- panies here (pause) . . . I wouldn’t know what to do. It’s great to have someone like you but you have to ;ell records outside your own coun- ry. I mean, I do.

Barnfest delight draws -enthusiastic crowd by Marie Sedivy and Cindy Long Imprint staff

Yuppiephobics can relax. The ’60s are alive in Waterloo. Saturday night’s Barnfest, a benefit concert- /protest put on by Ebytown Food Co-op and the residents of Shaky Acres farm on Erb Street W., at- tracted some 100 people who pulled up a hay bale, grabbed a beer and a cookie and settled down for an en- tertaining evening of folk and blues.

Fred Martin, a resident of Shaky Acres, described the event as “con- sciousness-raising”, and referred to the residents’ attempt to draw me- dia and public at tention to Canadian urban sprawl, which “annually eats up the equivalent of half of PEI’s agricultural land”.

Nothing can be done to save Shaky Acres (a farm property now being developed for condos), but a petition was available to allow those present a chance to voice their pro- test to Waterloo City Cour$il.

The stage was set in one end of the barn, a colourful quilt in the background. Two fluorescent tubes draped by a banner calling for (what else) peace provided the lighting. People, young and old, clad primari- ly in jeans, found themselves spots in which to get comfortable - some on the makeshift hay-bale benches, others half buried’ in hay in and under the two lofts.

Perhaps it was simply the setting that gave one the impression of a sixties-type communal gathering. Whatever it was, people enjoyed it. Most looked content, partly as a re- sult of a superb meal consisting of an impressive-looking roast pig, vege- tarian fare, salads and a delicious rice cake. Ebytown Food Co-op provided the food and gave a short presentation to attract much- needed members.

Although treated to some solid local talent (performers included UW’s Sue Schultz and Gord Dur- nin), the entertainment didn’t really get the crowd rolling until recording artist Mose Scarlett took the stage about 8:30. His cozy blues tunes fit in well with the down-home atmos- phere, and he managed to entice the crowd to join in on Stealin’:

‘fstealin’, stealin’, pretty mama don’t you tell on me

I’m stealin’ back to my same 01’

used‘to be . . . “ Scarlett may have got the people

moving, but he seemed somehow distant from the event. The local groups and individuals were able to communicate more effectively with their audience. This was to be ex- pected since at least half personally knew those performers.

, The highlight of the entertain- ment was Catchpenny. The im- pressive, powerful acapello group consisting of Aruna Handa, Frank Klaassen, Tom Roedding and Kiera McArthur, quickly rekindled the flames of enthusiasm that had beg- un to die down by the end of Sca- rlett’s set.

Catchpenny performsd with a sense of self-conscious certainty, a tad nervous, but completely aware of themselves and their audience. Their music rang&d from a South African freedom song to the Kink’s Lola, with a variety of folk tunes in between. The emphasis on anti-war material seemed appropriate given the circumstances, and it had a posi- tive effect -on the crowd.

A good acapello group not only requires excellent vocalists i and each member of this group had a distinctive and powerful voice - but also a stiong conscious and uncons- cious sense of one another. That sense was there; the audience felt it, and with any luck, the recording in- dustry will jump at the chance to make this group’s music portable.

The quartet Idlewood certainly had a tough act to follow,%ut follow it they did, and they managed to SUS-

tain the audience’s enthusiasm with an interesting combination of violin, stand-up bass, guitar and harmon- ica. Lead singer and songwriter, Dave Lawson, pleased the crowd with intense, imaginative lyrics that ranged from sublime to hilarious. The group certainly did one of the most interesting versions of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”.

No one is naive enough in the ’80s to believe that such a peaceful event will have an impact on urban sprawl. However, one of the nicest things about this decade is the growing awareness of the threats posed to people and their environment. It’s not innocent, not gullible, and per- haps this time around, it won’t go away as quietly as it’s arriving.

DOA:Rappor,t .with audeince by Paul Evans Imprint Staff

It would have been easy to mis- construe D.O.A.‘s show last Mon- day night, but then again, that would have been your problem. Blood, dis- tortion and violence seemed to be the order of the day. ,

The lead singer of Trash, the op- ening act, decided to pull a razor blade through his fore-arm to start things off. This, of course, was fol- lowed by a premature ‘Good night’ and a trip to the hospital.

The hard-core Vancouver band’s long awaited ‘entrance incited near riotous behaviour on the dance floor testing the structural integrity df the building. This was not exactly what the show was all about.

A pamphlet handed out at the door read:

PARTICIPATION:

NOT DECIMATION * To Whom It May Concern: In front of the stage is a free frame

of reference. It’s physical, it’s fun, it’s for everyone who wants to take a risk.

It is not for the strong to smash the weak, the big to muscle the little, or the men to mash women. It is not a combat zone for any one person or group of people to control.

Everyone should be able to partic- ipate. Together we can create and expand the bounds of freedom.

FOR THE BEST: D.O.A. true to form lead .sl”nger Joey Keigh- ley stopped in mid-distortion to re- mind everyone of this. D.O.A. kept up this accord with the audience, chatting up them up with anecdotes and anti-war sentiment and putting out maximum rock ‘n’ roll.

Small turnout to great Ellington’s Cottontail. Everyone made the stage to close the evening with Iwanna be happy and swung to a conclusion with a blues walkin’ number.

Though the best in Canadian Jazz showed at the Humanities Theatre on September 30, Kitche- ner-Waterloo displayed its lethargic (sleepy) attitude toward jazz by barely filling the theatre to 60 per cent capacity.

With jazz names Guido Basso, Ed Bickert, Jim Galloway, Rob McCon- nell, Ian Bargh, Terry Clarke, and Neil Swanson performing, this show should have been better received.

These players are the who’s who of the, traditional jazz scene: Guido Basso, trumpet and flugelhorn, a true veteran of the jazz scene; Ed Bickert, the quiet guitar legend; Jim Galloway, soprano sax, the most celebrated player in this group; Rob McConnell, valve trombonist, lead- er of the Boss Brass, definitely a vocal leader; Ian Bargh, a picnist leadirig the Toronto circuit; Terry Clarke, one of the best in the busi- ness of drumming; and Neil Swan- son, the new kid on the block, who is already a deadly bass pit ker and has more than a few years of playing left.

Not only was the music of super- star quality but the divisions of the group into smaller combos was a pleasant surprise. The full unit opened the first set with Ellington’s Blue Indigo and closed the set with

Does it bother you that so much of your press has been based on your relation- ship with Bob Mould. Grant: Yeah, it seems so silly, y’know? It’s like Sonny and Cher. Do you like the other bands on Twin- Tone? Dan: There are The Magnolias. They’re an up and coming band. They’re really good. Karl: There’s Charlie Pickett. He put out an album on TwinTone, but he doesn’t even have a band anymore. Dave: Who else is on TwinTone? Karl: Jonathan Ric hman. Grant: One time I tried to call TwinTone and they didn’t know who I was, so I told them I was Jonathan Richman and I got right through. What about The Replacements? Dave: I went to school with Tommy. Dan: We play with them more then any other band, I think. We don’t really hang out with them all the time, though.

We heard that Bob Stinson (The Replace- ments’ lead guitarist who recently has been strung out and in a bad disposition) is in some pretty rough straits. Grant: Yeah, that’s right. Dan: Hang on, how’d that shit get up here so fast? That only happened like three or four days ago. Dave: How’d you find out. Just rumours . . .

Dave: Come on, who’s your source? Dan: You can tell us, dude. Karl: That’s something nobody’s supposed to know about. Grant: Next question! . Does it bother you that you seem to have missed all the hype about the American roots-rock revival?

Dave:Nahhh . . . we don’t read that much press. Dan: We -might pick up a magazine if it has Bob Seger on the cover or something . . . Dave: That’s a perception that a lot of people have about us that I don’t. We don’t think we’re part of any movement. Do you listen to much country? Dan: When you’re driving through Oklahoma and there’s nothing else on the radio . . . Karl: We listen to a lot of country, but country radio in Minnesota, or anywhere, is a joke. Dan: I mean, it’s cool if you’re in Montana or somewhere and they have a good jukebox - like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, or Waylon Jennings - when you’re in the right atmos- phere for it. Is it much of an influence? Dave: Nahhhh . . . It’s that article in Spin, man. That was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read about us when they called us a damn country band. Karl: We can play the rock and we can play the country stuff, too, but we’re not either sort of band. The lyrics seem pretty raw and vindic- tive. How much are based on -expe- rience? Dave: Is this question for me? Grant: Well, you write all the words, man. Dave: Okay, well, I don’t know any other way I could write. What else would I be basing it on? I dunno, it’s pretty much my impressions of what I see and feel. I don’t know how some- one else looks at something, I only know how I look at something. What the whole situation is is trying to express the way I feel about something and laying it on the line and having people eithei go, “Well this guy’s completely fucked” or “I’ve had these feelings, too.” Y’know, I just want a reaction, I don’t care if they agree or disagree with it. ’

They played mostly high energy west coast punk rock as expected and ,nobody seemed to mind the spit. A great version of Reggae’s Bunny Wailer’s song, War in the West, was in order as well an Oktoberfest-inspired version of Roll out the Barrel. What show would be complete without a Randy Bauch- man endorsed version of Taking cure of Business? .It’s good to know that K-W is still alive and kicking.

Ed Bicker-t played homage to Django Reinhardt with Clarke and Swainson by picking out Nuages. A quartet of guitar, bass, drums and trombone played Horace Silver’s Backbeat, and 1 Thought About You was a delicate swinger grooved by Galloway, Bickert, and Swainson.

The entire evening was a display of jazz talent and the jovial stage attitude and camaraderie. This plea- sant, quiet attitude is an awaited change from the youth shows which are full of self important drivel.

Grant: It’s a lot like Billy Idol. . . or Billy Ocean (Laughter) Dave: I’m no poet or anything, but I know that there are some ways of saying things that make them stick out in your mind. Do you write the music or the words first? Dave: Always differently. Sometimes I just start a song with some idea. I’ll write a three or four page thing and then I’ll just pull all the best stuff that best describes what I feel. Or sometimes, I’ll just start with a musical idea and then think about how that music makes me feel. Some take tie ten minutes to write, and some take me three months. How do you feel about all this ’70s rock like Aerosmith becoming hip again? Dan: Hey, well Aerosmith was always pretty cool. Dave: Yeah, but you get sick of ‘em, too. Dan: Yeah, I did, nut for rock and roll, you know, it’s right in there. Dave: The thing about Aerosmith is that eve- ryone got sick of them . . . Dani And then they went away. Dave: And then there was nobody playing loud electric guitars anymore. And if they did play loud, it was always within some specific genre. Grant: Like heavy metal or something with lousy choruses. Dan: They used that backward percussion, the feedback. Like look at Sonic Youth. They owe as much to Aerosmith as to anybody else, though they’d never admit it. Dave: The problem when you’re young is that you don’t know what’s good unless you have. a hip older brother. I mean, I listened to Kiss

Dave: Radio, to me, is like baseball - it’s not my bag of oats. It’s just as confusing to me as the record industry. You know, I’m a guitar player and people ask me questions about radio or the record company and they might as well ask me about a cereal company. Dan: Like how can you be expected to brain- storm all these records and tour and keep up on the business, too? Dave: I’m trying, you know, I mean, it’s really bad that we’re on Attic Records and I don’t know anything about them. And we’re on Rough Trade in Europe and I know even less about them. Could you see yourselves on a major lab- el? Grant: Yeah, ‘cuz it wouldn’t change any- thing. It wouldn’t change our music, it wouldn’t change our lifestyles, it wouldn’t change how much fun we have. Dan: People have to realize that we are what we are and that’s it. When people start calling you a commercial success or failure, that’s just bullshit, man. Karl: Yeah, I think we were lucky to get on TwinTone to start ‘cuz a lot of bands get those international contracts six months after they start and they’re told “you’re gonna do this, you’re gonna do that, you’re gonna make a ton of money”, and then they’re dead in two years. Grant: W&l, they might make enough in those two years to last ‘em forever, which is all right. Dan: Yeah, like I was an antique dealer for two and a half years. I don’t know what I’m gonna do for food now, but.. . Ask Dave what he does. Dave: Hey, I’m a lawn-mowing specialist. Grant: No, no - a lawn-care specialist. Dave: Aww, hell, I’m a lawn stylist.

Loneliness: the fate of mariy students’ by Mario Emond reprinted from the Fulcrum

Before leaving university, every student will have lived through one form or other of loneliness. Sometimes the lack of companion ship will be only temporary, but at other times it will be overbearing, so much so that a student will end his/her studies.

In the early days at university the student’s loneliness is usually brief, lasting perhaps a month or two. If s/he has just moved to Ottawa s/he can become disor- iented and sometimes intimidated by the size of the campus and the city. Anxiety is felt by many, and the university has developed a score of programs to help them adjust.

“Our goal is to help students - integrate themselves into the uni- versity setting. If we don’t help students in September then they won’t have time once courses begin,” says Gratton, assistant di- - rector of Student Services. “Our goal is to help create, personal contacts.”

Richard managed to make some friends early on by joining a club and by telling himself that “no- thing would happen if I don’t take the initiative.”

Initiative does not come easily to students coming from a high school system that provided for all their needs and left them little freedom to set their own paths. In one summer they are expected to assume responsibility for the com- ing year. Some do and some can’t.

Lise Chislett, director of Coun- selling Services for students says, “people still have to adjust to the new surroundings . . . they really have to work to develop a new set of friends - the university has always been like that.

Chislett, who has been counsel- ling students since 1970, admits from her experience that the adjustment to a university can be

1 very difficult. “I think people have a lot of problems when they have to go into large classes with two or three hundred students . . . they often remain anonymous.

The switch from high school into a huge class can be a shock sometimes for first year students.”

According to the Council of Ontario Universities the trend to- ward higher student-professor rati- os, brought on by continued . government underfunding, serious- ly affects the quality of education. From 1974-75 to 1984-85, the provincial ratio has increased from 15.2 students for every professor to 16.9.

For foreign stuitents the adjust- ment is much more difficult. Cul- ture shock is inevitable. According to a study prepared by Philip Moorman for the U of Ottawa Foreign Students’ Office, the ex- patriate student must go through six successive stages of ups and downs before finally settling into a new culture.

“This up and down pattern is a natural one where excitement and interest are succeeded by depres- sion, disorientation or frustration .

It is important to remember,” Moorman writes, “that this pro- cess is both natural and necessary for the individual’s optimum ad- justment to the new host culture.”

Foreign students encounter ma- jor obstacles when attending the university. Methods of education are often very different and re- quire special attention. The stu- dent may also have problems with the language. Evaluation, as well, may cause problems for a student used to a teaching style which saw closer contact with the professor.

According to Andre Brossard, the Internationalstudent Advisor, the foreign student must deal with problems the minute her/his plane lands. S/he must deal with immi- gration officials, find a place to live, experience the university bu- reaucracy,‘go to large classes, and then worry about the exchange rate. Once these are more or less taken care of, s/he can try to make some Canadian friends, which may prove to be the most difficult task.

“They find in general that Cana- dians are closed. The initial con- tact is easy but friendships are harder to come by. They (Canadi-

ans) are also less politically in- volved and speak a different jargon,” explains Brossard.

Robert, an African student who has lived in Canada for several years remembers quite clearly the troubles he-went through. “You’re often very lonely, you go through depression, you want to get on the first plane back. It’s very difficult when you come from a place where everybody knows each other on the street, you don’t feel lonely in that type of society,” explains Robert.

“When I moved into an apart- ment building people I saw lived close together but they didn’t talk to each other. At the beginning we thought it was because of our colour but then we saw that it was the way. it was. At first I found it

new environment will alleviate some of the loneliness of the student there are other aspects of university life that in the long run deepens it. The high demands of the university curriculum, along with the isolation required for study, contribute greatly to the anxiety of the student population.

Shock of university 1 alienates many students

by Nancy McKellar Imprint staff

Although the fall term is well under way, some students may still be ill at ease in a relatively new envir- onment. For a great number of stu- dents, this fall represents the beginning of a series of new expe- riences. Not only is this their first year of university; this also marks the beginning of new social groups, friendships, and for many, the first real separation from home and fami- ly. General shyness and a heavy work load make it difficult to estab- lish friendships. These factors can lead to loneliness, depression, and homesickness.

For many, new friends and a con- tinuous stream of activity provide a diversion from thoughts of home. Loneliness occurs because most of these new friends are merely ac-. quaintances and cannot really sub- stitute for friends of several years. Some students cannot find anyone to talk to and turn to Counselling Services.

In the months of September and October, Counselling Services in Needles Hall see an average of 20-25 people to help them cope with the problem of homesickness. These people are virtually all first-year stu- dents. Yet these figures do not begin to accurately reflect the actual number of first-year students who are experiencing the same problem.

Close contact with home plays an important role during the first few months. “It’s a real comfort to know I can go back home on the wee- kends if I start to get lonely and ho- mesick,” commented one student.

Those who live too far to go home must find alternate ways of dealing with their homesickness. “ I try to spend-my weekends with friends or concentrating on homework,” said a student from northern Ontario. “Letters and phone calls from home are a big help.”

Of the 20-25 people Counselling sees, many are from areas a great distance from Waterloo. These stu- dents are generally from small town environments and may be intimidat- ed by UW’s size.

For students coming from larger cities, the opposite may be true. “I was used to the bustle and vitality of a big city,” says Marge. “Coming to Waterloo was almost like culture shock and I found the atmosphere dead and depressing. It was really hard to adjust the first few months.”

Another contributing factor to homesickness is inaccessibility to campus activities and to other stu- dents. Living in the Villages helps in this respect, for it thrusts people to- gether and forces a certain amount of social interaction.

However, living off campus may be a barrier to some social activity. The distance itself makes getting out and meeting new people diffi- cult. Transportation, especially late at night, may be a problem, and keeping informed about social activ- ities takes a conscious effort. “I felt like I missed out on a lot of the spon- taneous things that went on in the residences,” said Ann, a former off- campus frosh.

No matter what the circumstan- ces, a certain degree of homesick-

ness is inevitable when someone leaves home for the first time. Ideal- ly, there are friends to turn to for pep talks, and family is just a phone call away. If these outlets are un- available, Counselling Services offers alternatives. They provide counselors who are willing to listen, and they teach study skills and re- laxation therapy.

Students can learn to deal with stress, which can be a contributing factor to or a result of homesick- ness. The study skills Counselling teaches help students better organ- ize their time, so that if frequent trips home are necessary, there won’t be a pile of work waiting to be done on Sunday night. A more or- ganized lifestyle decreases stress al- lowing students to relax.

. .

Counselling recommends that each student using their services re- turn for three to four visits. This enables them to ensure that the stu- dent is learning how to cope with homesickness and not letting it de- velop into a major problem.

It may help to remember that while each person’s feelings and thoughts are individual, we have all been through or are going through that first time away from home. Talking to others and expressing personal thoughts are keys to deal- ing with homesickness. Joining clubs -or student organizations pro- vides an opportunity to meet people with similar interests, and can result in valuable friendships.

Remember, homesickness is not an incurable disease; it’s just a tern- . porary state of mind.

Circumstances Ege Bum Yasi

Survival Records

by Charles Mak Imprint Staff

This 12”inch single is packed with so much synth-pop energy that it will undoubtedly be hailed as an ’80s dance classic. Any person who loves to flaunt his or her sensuality (if you will) on the dance floors of high tech dance clubs, will have a dandy with this number.

What makes Circumstances by Ege Barn Yasi so scintillating is its great synth arrangements that races along to an infectiously fast beat. Its one of those songs that lets you go wild with creativity and you don’t have to worry about looking overly pretentious when you do your stuff out on the floor The vocalist who probably is Ege Barn Yasi herself, if that is’nt the name of the band, prances along to the beat with high-pitched funky abandon in a mellifluosly flirtatious tone.

This is quite a song with synth lines that jump out and grab your senses. So, to all you fledgling DJs with a desire to pack the floors, do yourselves a favour and pick this 12” up. It’s wicked stuff.

The Backyard Miracle Legion

Closer (French Import)

by Paul Done Imprint staff

So many times in the past, it has been European music fans who have first recognized, and made stars out of, talented American ar- tists. Miracle Legion, though_, ano- nymous at home, are rising stars in France and England thanks to their ability to write a traditional rock ‘n’ roll song without having it sound tired and boring.

The Backyard is a six-song mini album which is bringing them critical acclaim and a large following - though still only available as an im- port. The jangly guitars and simple song structures harken back to a more innocent age of pop music, but the great songwriting on this record is timeless. The Backyard is re- plete with uncluttered arrange- ments which mesh with an uncanny perfection, chord changes which turn the knees to water, and an sense of stillness and timelessness. Each song is fine enough to merit special mention so, ironically, space limitations mean that none will get it.

In their own way, Miracle Legion are a better band than -REM and The Backyard is the most com- plete document of their work so far. Classic rock ‘n’ roll.

team are’coming off their best Ontario Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Association (OWIAA) performance in years. The Athe- nas with a respectable g-3 OWIAA won-lost record (20-10 overall), finished in second place in the OWIAA West behind Brock University, also g-3. With a returning nucleus of seasoned veterans and a complimentary group of talented newcomers, the Athenas are looking to im- prove on last year’s record.

Although the Athenas lost three starters from last year’s team, including two time OWIAA All-Star K.im Rau, the team should still be a strong con- tender for the OWIAA West crown. Rau will be sorely missed, but the return of vete- rans Corinna Lueg, Cindy Poag and Brenda Bowering, along with the maturing of second year players Sheila Windle and Mi- chelle Campbell, should provide a formidable five to meet their challenging schedule, which in- cludes games against five of the country’s top ten teams.

In the backcourt, the Athenas will be led by newcomer Karen McCulla, a natural point guard who should spearhead the Athe- nas’ transition game, and Sheila Windle, a sometimes starter last year. Both guards are extrmely quick and their defensive pro- wess should raise havoc in the opposition’s backcourt. The

Athena field hockey

The Athena field hockey team dropped two games in weekend action to bring their record to a disappointing 0-1-2.

The Athenas lost 7-0 to both the universities of Toronto and Guelph last weekend. The U of T team dominated the Athenas from the start to cruise to an easy win.

In the Guelph game, the half- time score was only 1-O. The floodgates opened in the second half, with U of G scoring six un- answere‘d goals.

“This really was a breakdown by a number of our defenders,” said coach Judy McCrae. “We knew exactly what they were capable of showing us, but we didn’t get the job done.”

The Athenas have are facing a difficult period right now as they must fact Toronto, Guelph, and York, each of which stand a good chance of being in the national championship tournament.

“Our goal is to finish fourth in the West Section, go to the

‘OWIAA playoff tournament and then reset our goals according to our draw,” said McCrae.

There are 11 players who atie in their first or second year of eligibility and it is this lack of skill and experience that hurts them.

On the brighter side, the final three games of the Athenas’ schedule are against Western twice and McMaster - teams the Athenas fell they can beat with hard work and solid prepa- rat ion.

“In our weekend games, we had to play so much defense that our attack became non-existent, but, against Guelph, I saw shades of new improving work on attack.

The team’s next games are against York and Western.

Athenas will lack depth at the guard position.

the Athenas are most expe- rienced in the frontcourt in terms of returning players, as two star- ters and the number one and number two substitutes return to the centre and forward posi- tions.

Corinna Lueg, an OWIAA All- Star last season, is the leadin

7 scorer and rebounder from las year’s team, averaging 14 points and ssix rebounds per game. The starting centre in her three years here at Waterloo, Lueg should also see some action at the power forward spot.

A couple of local products, Cindy Poag, from Bluevale Col- legiate in Waterloo, and Michelle Campbell, from Forest Heights Collegiate in Kitchener, are the early season contenders for the starting forward positions. Poag, a starter in every game of

her three-vear career as an Athe- na, is oneY of the most versatile performers in the league. Cindy should be a strong candidate for All-Star recognition this season. Campbell, a frontcourt player with considerable talent, is ex- pected to be a big scorer for the Athenas.

Brenda Bowering, another power forward and a strong two- way performer, will bring a lot of playing experience to the At he- nas’ front line. Newcomers Jen- nifer Hinton, Helen Gilles, Kim Magee and Sheila Kipfer, a Grand River collegiate graduate, will all be vying for playing time at the forward positions.

Two other newcomers, first- year 6' Jane Willet t and fifth year 6’ 1” MO Siewertsen, will shore up the centre position.

The Athenas will make their 1986-87 debut on October 18 with a 2 pm exhibition game against the Ryerson Rams.

Rugby Warriors win! by Mike Brown Imprint Staff

Waterloo’s rugby Warriors re- turned to their winning ways last weekend with a 16-4 win over the visiting U of T Varsity Blues.

backs, a Toronto player picked off a pass which resulted in a try after running a quarter of the field.

The 12:30 start was in the midst of one of Waterloo’s nor- mal thunderstorms which caused field conditions to be- come quite sloppy. Despite the weather, an aggressive Toronto team, and a sometimes sporadic Warrior effort, Waterloo main- tained its shared hold on first place.

With the score 10-4 for Water- loo, the Varsity Blues intensity was at a high. They had their eyes on an.upset win over the first place Warriors. This was not to be though, as/Hayden Bel- grave burst through the the de- fenders line on a big run for his second try of the game.

Early in the first half, outside center Martin Robertson stole an opposition pass. After running half the field with the Toronto pack at his heels, Martin passed the ball off to Hayden Belgrave who was in excellent position to score the. try. Paul Toon then converted the try with a two- point kick.

In his usual style, Paul Toon converted the try to make the fi- nal score 16-4. Toronto was suc- cessfully kept from entering the Waterloo try zone for the re- mainder of the game.

Iti second team action, the rugby Warriors played well enough to win but were just barely defeated by the U of T Varsity Blues. The final score was 18-15.

The Varsity Blues kept the Warriors in the Waterloo end of the field for a large part of the first half. It wasn’t until later in the opening half when strum half Harold Godwin and wing forward Blair Faulkner invaded the Toronto end once more to set up Craig Hepburn for the poten- tial try. Craig downed the ball in the try zone, but unfortunately the referee nullified the try be- cause of an infraction 10 metres out from the Toronto try line.

Waterloo scored the first two trys. Rookie Bill Sarantakos plunged past the Toronto pack on a penalty play to give Water- loo a 4-O lead. Mustack ‘Khan then added the two-point con- version.

Adam Chamberlain was the next Warrior attacker to burst through the Varsity Blues’ pack for a well earned try. With another conversion by Mustack Khan the score was 12-o.

At half time, the score was 6-O for Waterloo. With a lapse in the thunderstorm, the Warriors came on with a much stronger show of aggression at the begin- ning of the second half.

The Warrior pack was within metres of the Toronto try line. Then off of a line ou-t, Captain Tony Stea barrelled his way across the try line to make it 10-O for the Warriors.

Waterloo’s lead was ham- mered away when Toronto got onto the scoreboard with a pair of quick trys. Khan then found the goal posts on a penalty kick to bring Waterloo’s score up to 15. ;

With time left for only one more offensive push, Waterloo was leading 15-14. However, there was time enough for To- ronto to spoil Waterloo’s fine ef- fort as they scored a last-second try to take the lead and win 18- 15.

Warrior Soccer rookies showing their fine mid-season form last Saturday night in Windsor.

UW-WLU Soccer: l-l by Tim Walker Imprint staff

UW’s soccer Warriors hosted the (fifth ranked) WLU Golden Hawks at the “lovely” Columbia Fields on October 1. Field condi- tions were extremely poor and this was a distinct advantage for the defensive-minded Warriors.

The Hawks came out strongly in the first half and scored early when Kevin Adams was left un- marked in the Waterloo goal- mouth and scored an easy goal.

This goal woke up the War- riors and they tightened up at the back. No Laurier player was safe from Waterloo’s aggressive tac- kling techniques.

The Warriors bontinued with their hard-nosed defensive style of play in the second half. The roughness of the Waterloo team surprised the Laurier players and they eased up in the Water- loo end of the field. ’

With 15 minutes left to play, forward Mike Houston, who was one of the roughest of the rough, darted behind the startled Lauri- er defense and scored the tying goal. The final score was l-l.

Although pressured by Lauri- er throughout the game the War- riors showed character by not folding.

On the weekend of October 5 and 6 the team travelled first to Western and then to Windsor.

In torrential rain the Warriors lost to the Western Mustangs 1-O on Saturday.

The game was very physical with both sides sustaining sev- eral minor injuries. The first half was very even and the half time score was O-O. However, as has been the Warrior habit this year, the hard-pressed defense even- tually broke down. With 15 min- utes to go, the Mustangs scored the winner during a goalmouth scramble.

On Saturday night in Windsor the soccer veterans, although to- tally outnumbered, managed to intiate the rookies. The rookies were made to walk around downtown Windsor clad in diap- ers and party hats while roped together.

On Sunday the lads lost 1-O to the Windsor Lancers and even went so far as to score the only goal of the game. After a save by keeper Tim Walker, a fullback ran the ball into his own net. This is the second time this sea- son the Warriors have lost 1-O and done all the scoring.

All season the Warriors have shown themselves to be superior to all other OUAA teams while on defense. However, the War- riors continue to have trouble making the transition to offense and subsequently they are aver- aging less than a goal a game. The forwards are doing well, but the rest of the team is not sup- porting them adequately.

The Warriors host the Guelph Gryphons on Saturday at the Co- lumbia fields at 1 p.m.

Athena soccer team loses Recent games have proven dis-

appointing for the Athena soccer team. The team went down to de- feat in its last ttio attempts.

On October 1, the University of Western Ontario team, cur- rently in first place, travelled to Waterloo to play the Athenas under blue skies but on a very wet field. The Athenas came up with a strong first half, pressing the Western defense, but couldn’t capitalize on many corner kick opportunities.

Western’s first goal came on a long shot that bounced in front of the Waterloo net and hit a rut in the field, shooting in the air over the goalkeeper.

Sylvia Soder evened the score on a high shot from the right side of the 18-yard box that easily beat the Western goalie. At this time the Athenas were prejsing hard and causing turnovers in the midfield. However, Western

took advantage of some confu- sion in the Waterloo midfield to score on another weak shot that changed direction and barely eluded Anna da Silva in the Athena net. The game ended 2-1 for Western. .

The team’s next match-up, Oc- tober 4 against WLU, saw the, Athenas wind up on the short end of a 4-1 score.

Despite the heavy rain, the Athenas came out strong again in the first half, winning tackles and coming up with the ball under very slippery conditions. Wendy Smith scored for Water- loo in the middle of the first half on a high shot over the head of the WLU goaltender.

Laurier started to press in the second half and scored quickly to even the score. Laurier con- tinued to press and scored three more goals before the game was over.

The Empire of the Sushi . Almost Japanese

ial. The novel not upholstered with Victorian chesterfields; rather, floor cushions. No wallpaper; rather shoji screens. Except when gaijin (Japa- nese for foreigners) move clumsily into view: Seth danced so close I could feel everything and they must have had liquor in the washroom how else could he have gotten so drunk. In the parking lot I had to hold his tails back so he could barf. Then he tried to French-kiss me.

Almost Japanese is a bildungs- roman writ Japanese. (“Let US all

say, aloud; bill-dungs-row-man, a term meaning “growth-to-maturity” novel and a staple of the<‘now I’m a university teacher and can trun,dle out technical terms” set). Meaning no histrionics.

Feelings filtered through rice paper rather than paper passion, through brownies ar- ranged like sushi on a plate rather than through carnal big feeds. “If orgasm is the pit of fruit, then iyri- cism is its flesh,” wrote John Hawkes: Sheard presents the fruit sectioned, championing art over ap- petite . . . and hides the pit from you, in her napkin.

The narrator is a late-maturing, young Toronto woman with a crush on an older man, a Japanese man. She absorbs the Japanese sensibil- ity which values austerity over abun- dance, ritual over “naturalness”. Concomitantly, the author adheres to a narrative style which is under- stated.

“Who would win if Mighty Mouse fought Superman?”

“C’mon, of course Superman would win. Everyone else is a car- toon, but Superman is real”

This is typical of the sort of con- versation-which goes on in Stand by Me, the latest film from Rob Reiner. It is typical ,because the film con- cerns an adventure shared by four 12 year-olds in Castle Rock, Oreg- on, population 1281, in 1959. In oth- er words, the characters are young, and they aren’t afraid to venture out into the-unknown and deal with fun- ny issues like that.

This is Reiner’s second feature film. After playing “Meathead” in All in the Family throughout the show’s considerable run, Reiner came out with the rock satire pseudo-docu- mentary Spinal Tap, both a critical and box-office success. If Spinal Tap pushed. Reiner into the world of directordom, Stand by Me reserves him a director’s chair, and sits him in it. The film shows that he’s no one- hit wonder.

Like To Kill a Mockingbird, Stand by Me is vintage Americana: both are films in which characters relate a story rather nostalgically about the period of his/her youth. And in both

period of violent waiting. The

With the system’s current me- thods of evaluation which reward the highest achiever with a scho- larship and a job, the fight for the top places also becomes a signifi- cant element in loneliness. “I have no doubt,” says Father Doe, “that competitiveness is a big factor in loneliness.

physiological and psychological maturation does not go hand in hand with the expectations of society which requires specializa- tion. This waiting exasperates peo- ple; at some given time it must burst. It’s not the students who are crazy, it’s the system. This for me, is the source of the student’s loneliness.”

The distancing among students reaches beyond the effects of competitiveness to the isolation created by specialization. Gradual- ly as degrees accumulate a stu- dent’s thoughts are shaped by studies and the language s/he speaks becomes more and more specialized.

Though a large part of the student population experiences loneliness there is a great reluc- tance among them to admit it. There is a widespread perception, especially among male students, that to speak of it is to admit a weakness thit would not be ac- cepted by the competitive system they live in.

/Growing specialization erects a language barrier but it also dic- tates a professional code of behav- ior.

“In other areas, says Father Hubert Lagace, a Catholic priest and the director of Campus Minis- try, “people will talk more easily. There are a lot of masks . . . when we become professionals the mask will be stronger. The faculties of law and medicine are more prone to this than the others.”

Last year the Counselling Ser- vice was visited by almost twice as many females as males. It’s not because females have more prob- lems; but it might be they are more willing to seek help . . . men might see it as a stigma more than

The loneliness experienced by students is attributable in great part to the social structure, says Father Lagace. The growing de- mand for post secondary educa- tion and for specialization stifles the natural maturation of the individual. Society is telling young people that they are not socially prepared to earn their living, though in all other ways they are prepared to do so.

cases the story is about the narra- tor’s coming of age; the quest which tests the mettle of which the narra- tor is made.

Its them against the wilder- ness. This is clear’ right away be- cause a few hours later, they realize no one brought any food along. The boys are about to begin a journey they will never forget; and along the way, as they share in the camarader- ie of the quest, anyone watching the film shares in it also.

Stand by Me surprisingly enough is based on a novella by gothic hor- ror writer Stephen King. It shows a different direction for King, because it doesn’t haunt you like Carrie or The Shining. Instead of haunting, this movie warms you all over. Rein- er follows Lawrence Kasdan’s lead (The Big Chill) in exploiting the ex- baby boomers who enjoy seeing themselves years ago. Stand by Me even has the same kind of score, though of an earlier period. The film will not go unnoticed, and, filled with popular late ’50s songs, (like Rot kin’ Robin and Lollipop) the soundtrack should attract attention.

students women.”

Father Doe has noticed similar tendencies in his counselling work. “It is much more difficult to overcome shyness for a young male. I have a hunch that young male students show more loneli- ness than young female students. I suspect there’s a much better networking of communication for women. There seems to be a quicker o.pportunity to build friendships.”

Though loneliness is difficult to deal with, most counselors agree that some forms of loneliness are beneficial to students. This kind of solitude initiates personal reflec- tion which eventually engages the process of maturation. It becomes a question of positive adjustment.

Yet there is also a loneliness that is difficult to resolve - a loneliness that society itself nur- tures. Higher education, the step- ping stone to social success, has the negative side effect of isolating people from each other and their environment .

Athletes of the Wet& Athlete of the Week Marcela Krajny Tennis

Marcela Krajny, a second-yea: General Science student from Toronto, was named Athena Athlete of the Week for her out- standing play in last weekend’s OWIAA tennis tournament. Marcela, who is playing in the number 2 singles slot and on the number 1 doubles team, won all of her matches in the weekend tournament.

Marcela, who last year occu- pied the number 1 singles posi- tion on the team, is recovering from a broken ankle which she suffered during the summer. In last weekend’s play, Marcela gained four points toward the team standings. In tournament play to date, she has captured 12 of a possible 14 points for the Athena tennis team.

Marcela, who played out of the Tournament, Fark Club in Wil- lowdale, was once Ontario champion in the under-12 cate- gory. Marcela and her doubles partner May Mathers have an excellent opportunity to qualify for the OWIAA playoffs.

Athlete of the Week Tim Walker Soccer

In spite of his team not win- ning any games, this weekend the Warriors’ outstanding goal- tender, Tim Walker, was named Warrior Athlete of the Week. Tim is a native of Waterloo and graduated from Waterloo Coll-e- giate.

Tim’s outstanding play in the Waterloo-Laurier game was a big factor in the splitting of the points between the University Avenue rivals. His brilliant saves continually thwarted the Golden Hawks (ranked fifth in Canada) as they stormed the Warrior net.

In other games last weekend, the Warriors lost to Windsor and Western by identical 1-O scores. In the Windsor game, Tim did not allow any shots to pass di- rectly by him as the only goal of the game went in off the leg of a teammate.

Tim has been the Warriors’ goalie for the past three years. He is continually improving from game to game and is an’im- portant part of the Warriors’ strong defense.

Waterloo Cross+ountry team does well at Kingston meet

Waterloo’s Cross-Country team was in Kingston last week- end for the RMC Invitational Meet.

Mud flowed over the OUAA course, but the Athena’s dug in with a ,fourth place finish. The Warriors also braved the ad- verse conditions to record a third-place team finish. Again the ladies were led by rookie Jill Francis while the men were led by Andrew Krucker. The pair finished 14th and 8th respective- lY*

The Women’s race was won by Nancy Rooks, formerly of York

University, followed by Olym- pic marathoner Anne Marie Ma- lone of Queen’s. Francis, teamed with Ulrike Zugelder before splitting with Zugelder placing 17th. Maggie Stewart placed 36th while Marielle Rowan, 62nd, and Wendy Huisman, 67th, meshed to give the Athenas their best showing this season. The finish is exceptional consid- ering the absence of veterans Kelly Boulding and Kilmeny Beimler.

The men’s 9.836 km race was dominated by Ottawa U’s John Halvorson who broke away ear-

ly, slicing through the muck to top the talented men’s field. Krucker’s 8th place finish, mean- while, was only the first of many fine showings by the Warriors. Harvey Mitro manipulated the narrow twists and turns to place 16th, and Kevin ShieIds placed a respectable 19th.

Men’s coach Don Mills was impressed by the field and by the Warriors strong effort and showing. This weekend the War- riors travel to Michigan to race against some strong American competition, while the Athena’s enjoy a well deserved rest.

HALIFAX (CUP) - Athletes at St. Mary’s and Dalhousie uni- versities will have one less test to pass this year because the cost of compulsory drug testing is too expensive.

Dalhousie athletic director Wayne MacDonald said, al- though he supports drug testing in principle, the $200 to $300 price tag on an individual test is too much for his department to face.

“We support the idea of drug testing. . . if it ever became feasi- ble, it is something we would do,” said MacDonald.

Ian MacGregor, St. Mary’s at- hletic director, said the issye

hasn’t reached his university be- cause the technology “just isn’t here yet, and the tests cost too much.”

The University of Calgary is the only Canadian university to administer compulsory drug tests on its inter-collegiate ath- letes. Calgary will be home to the 1988 Winter Olympics, and U of C wants its medicine clinic to be the second such certified facility in Canada. The only other facili- ty is in Montreal.

Other universities in Canada will be slower to implement drug testing, according to Mary Ap- pleton, co-ordinator of interna- tional programs of the Canadian

DRESSING FOR SUCCESS. Sure it’s great to be in ‘college and sit around

and eat pizza, but someday you’re going to need a job. But first you have to get the job. Which means first you have to get an interview. And once you get that, what are you gaing to wear to it? If you dress up too nicely, they’re going to think, hey, look at hisclothes, why does he need a job? And if you dress too sloppy, they’ll think, hey, why should .I hire someone who dresses like a bum?

But just in case they do hire you, what are you going to wear to the job? I mean, you won’t have money right away to buy new clothes. So maybe you can wear what you wore to the interview.. . the first day on the job. Then you’ll have to give the suit back to the friend you borrowed it from. So:. .what are you going to wear the second day? _

Maybe you should just stay in college for a while longer. At least there you can get 2 for 1 pizza at Little Caesars. (Tip: put it on your resume. In days like these, employers are look- ing for someone who knows how to get more out of a buck.)

Water Polo Warriors top Mustangs by 15 to 7 by Joe Sary Imprint staff

The Waterloo Water Polo War- riors began their 1986 season in impressive fashion, downing the Western Mustangs 15-Y.

The Warriors completely con- trolled the.game for the first half, outscoring Western 4-1 and 3-1 in the two qu-arters. Both teams displayed strong, tight defenses, but Waterloo players were much more successful in breaking away from their coverage and getting shots on net.

The Waterloo defense was backed by the strong play of goalie Scott Murray who blocked several difficult shots and also stole the ball from Western forwards on a few occa- sion.

The second half of the game was less disciplined, but Water- loo still managed to score enough goals to coast to an easy victory.

The top scoring Warriors were Russ Stanley with six goals and Dave Cash with four.

Waterloo’s next games are on Saturday, at the McMaster Tournament when they take on the two toughest teams in the OUAA - West, the McMaster Mauraders and the University of Toronto Blues.
