Too many bikes, not enough racks Cvclists forced to find alternate lock-up arrangements

Susan Bubak IMPRINT STAFF

Take a look around campus, and you'll see dozens of bikes chained to trees, street signs and other inanimate objects. Is it a matter of laziness or a shortage of bike racks on campus?

"1 think it's a combination of both factors," said Mihe r<errigan, bederation of Stu- dents vice president internal Some students choose not to lock thcir bikes to a bike rack because it's too far a\vay from their intended destination, while others lock their bikes to trees because there is no alternative. "I have noticed that thcrc will be some bikes lockcd up to other objects around a bike rack that is full," said I<errigan.

According to Jcrry IIutten of Plant Operations, there are ap- proximately 350 bike racks on campus with 1-arious capacities and plans are underway to add more bike racks in problem areas. "There is a continual process of replacing old and damaged racks, trying different styles and plac ing additional racks in busy areas

ices." He explained that a bike may be removed if it is locked in an area where the groundskeepers need to mow the lawn. All bikes that are seized will be put in stor- age for up to 90 days. If thc owner does not claim thc bike within 9 0 days, the bike will bc sold at the Bike Centre auction.

Andrew Cameron, a volunteer a t the Blkc Centre, said the number of bikc racks on campus is "not even close to cilough." TIC added that there is a chronic shortage of bike racks outside Carl Pollock f-Tall (CPII), \\here he attends class. Another bike enthusiast described the hilie rack area outside CPII as "horrible."

Other problem areas include the ox-ercron dcd bikc racks outside the Math and Computers building and the Student Life Ccntrc, where numcrous bikes wcre chaincd to trees, lampposts and handrails.

Construction out of: thin alr Tushar Singh SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

When somebody mentions construction you immediately thmk of the new buildings that arc being built on campus or the research park on north campus, but there's a different sort of construction afoot The new construction corers a larger regton, is almost inlisible and cheap compared to the million dollars of concrete that dominate the landscape

Latc last week, the Grad house pined the list of locations from which students can access the Internet through the university's wireless network Those fortunate enough to have wireless cards in their laptops can surf the net from avariety of locations including Carl Pollock Hall lobby, CPI1 second floor, E2, Rod Coutts Hall, the Davis Lentre and limited sections of the math building Thcre are also several undocumented wireless access points in the residences that willgive you access to the university

networks Even with this expansion and

service available, a small number of users have been scen malung active use of the system In fact, many

students in math and engineering recognize that the system exists but do not use it. The primary reason given was this: "I'll use it as soon as I can afford it."

The wireless network on campus is a wireless fidelity GVIFI) network using the 802.11b protocol.

Usage ofwireless facilities typically requires a36150 card to connect to an access point An access point is a radio receiver and transmitter, which typically cost $300 for me dium range connectiviq. Thismeans that wireless nctworks are useful where alaree number of users exist - and the cost and inconvernienceof cable merits a conversion towireless fidehty

Another reason that studcnts do not use the networkwas cited by Ed Gorham. "I have to sit in a hallway or stairwell to get reception in k2,except for Poets,and it's hard to do actual work m Poets unless bar services are offered "

Reception problems are caused by the thick walls that are present - throughout campus Better recep tion can often be obtained by going up or down one floor rather than on the same floor as the access Doint There is another reasonwhy recep-

tion is bad - the access points used by the university are some of the lowest power models on the market That, in combination with the thick walls, leads to limited coverage which can sometimes be hard to find The best way to findwireless access in the engineering buildings is to look for the "Wireless Willie" signs The wireless areas in math and computing are not labelled but the area around the C&D and class rooms on thefourth floor are well coxcrcd as are the offices on the fifth

Althoughnot mentioned by stu dents, security issues a rmf primary conccrn among 1VIFI users Cap turmg the data that flows through the air is quite easy for those with the approprtate equipment To pro tect users when they are signing on for access, thc untversity has provided a security certificate which encrypts data Users should take their own precautions but keep in mind that reception problems mean that anybody eavesdropping on your connectionis sittingwithin 10 meters A good qign to watch out for is somebody witha Pringles can with a wire coming out of it

Resurrecting homecoming There's no place like home, no place like Waterloo

People oftenlament the indifference of LJW students to their school as people ironically and s d r l y do at other schools.

The connection and feeling students have with their school benefits the school through contributions to the community and a positive vibe on campus. Thts m turn can strengthen the connection by attractmg more and better students.

The students of yesterday are today's alumni and an alumn- school connection also benefits the school

The connection that UW alumni have with their school benefits us m many ways

First, the alumni connectioncan translate mto future donations. If they feel good about UW they wdl want it to succeed and will be more hkely to contribute funds. Last year alunuu donations constituted more than 47 per cent of the $22 d o n of contirbutions to UW in 2000 and 2001. For the same reasons, but, m other ways, alumni can help the university by hiring co-op students, helping recruit students and telling others that they, as fine people, are from the University of Waterloo.

Through these mechanisms homecoming contributes to W s success as a university. So we can therefore further our school's success by, among other things, contributing to the success of homeconmg.

Attendance at homecomin9;

declined since a high of 734 regs tered alunuu m attendance m 1994 to a lower number in 1998.

One issue that people suggest could increase participation in

homecoming is changmg the mam event to a football game

Football is a common home- conung sports event Every one out of the m e other OUA schools that compete m football combines a football game with their homecom- mgactivities.

Carleton University,whtch does not compete in football, is the only other Ontario university that has a basketball tournament as part of its homecoming, the House-Laughton Hoops Classic tournament.

UW changed the homecommg major sports event m 1985 from a football game to the Nasmith Classic. a basketball tournament.

The tournament is superior m

terms of planning smce UW schedules the tournament instead of the OUA for football games As well it is easier to control the environment m the PAC than the weather m the outdoors.

The Office of A l m Affairs is trymg to make homecoming more successful through cross campus partnerships, promotion and events.

A l w affairs is workmg with different parts of campus to put on

events Athletics runs the Nusmth, student groups help with promo- tions and other organizations plan events as well.

To spread the word they sent e- mad newsletters to 4,800 alUINlj, printed 3,600 pamphlets and set up a new Web site with 67 separate

pages. Alumn~ can also ask ahmm

affairs to set up reunions during the year or cross-promoted with h o m e c m g . ' h s year during homecoming they are running six

They want to make sure that undergraduates know homecommg is for them too, not just for

students. Students can come out, have fun, network and p perspective on theu school careers.

Alyson Woloshyn from alumni affairs said "As far as registrations to date for homecoming 2002 the total numbers stand at 127 - that is counting each event md~vidually. It's climbing every day and I am hoping that it will spke up very soon but we shall see."

She said that preregistration numbers are less than expected but higher than they were last year. We have yet to see what impact the changes wdl have.

Homecoming is not vital to our success as auniversity, but it can help.

Feds bylaw resolution is flawed Joe Netbery COMMUNITY EDITORIAL

What happens when a student union tackles the mystery of municipal zoning? A whole lot of muckity-muck that will sink into the ground quicker than the Sugar Cube; that's what. J for one am growingincreasinglydisenchanted

with how this whole bus pass/ lodgmg house debacle is playing out. This political gambit, mark my words, will netarwork out in our favour until the Feds change their lobbying strategy.

Being an aspiring urban planner, I noticed the same "mix-up" the mayor did in the Feds resolution of September 15. The Feds executive says it knew of this. Alright, so our student representatives did their homework and figured out that the best way to get the ci) of \K1aterloo to bend to our iron will is to break off bus pass talks with the r&onalmuni~i;pali~ of Waterloo. Or, stop tallung with one level of gowrnment to change the ways of another. Smart. Well, there is one link between the city and the regional municipality: Mayor \XToolstencroft. So, the intended force of the Feds resolution is to get the regon to put pressure on the mayor to bend to "our" iron will. Smart. It could spook city councillors into getting the mayor to change or possibly spook the mayor herself. Even smarter.

Here's the flaw in "our" iron will - where is the incentive for Mayor \Yoolstencroft (or the city or region, fur that matter) to give an!, more timc to this issue than she heady has?

Newspapers, students share problems

Every week, we put together a newspaper in relative isolation in the basement of the Student Idfe Centre. It is easy in such a capacity to cut ourselves off from the rest of the world and to imagine we are the only ones facing our pamcular challenges.

Thts weekend, I had the opportumty to meet other people involved in university newspapers and bcnefit from the experience of some professional journalists at the CanadianUniversity Press conference in Toronto. I found out that not only do other student newspapers face the same issues, professional journalists do as well. Tomnlo S t d s Catherine Dunphy discussed the sorry state of features writing, not just in university papers but also in the professional media. Shc presented samples of features stories from that day's major Toronto papers that, when pointed out, were obviouslypoorly-written. Bruce

Arthur from the Notional l h ? chamcterized fmdingsports writcrs at university newspapers as one of the great mysteries of our time. It was good to hear that this problem, which has plagued Impin/ for ycars, is not one uniquely our own.

'l'his lead me to wonder what other situations in our hves might benefit from insight from otherswho face similar challenges.

One thing that has been foremost in discussion on this campus lately is housing. The BrockPress,Brock Unwersity's student newspaper, recently ran an editorial explaining that, even the last school year began with conhct between Hrockstudents and locals ieguding housing, and the year ended in the same way. In St. Catharines, the housing situation has overflowed to affect low-income rentcrs. Competition for housing space resulting partly from the three-student-limit on houses surroundmg the university and partly from less funding for universities, implying less on- campus residence, has been impacting non-student renters.

l'he Queen's Journal reported their student government president urgmgcity council October 2 to make housing a priority. The report highl~ghts the

quality of housing, stating that quantity is also a problem.

Another issue many of us have In common is rlsing tuition. The Varsity, U of T's student newspapt rcports their administration urgtng more "flexibility" with tuition, a stance similar to that taken by our own president David Johnston, who asked for "more freedom" om tuition fees. A Queen's Park rally in response to a proposal for further- mg deregulation at Queen's university last December prompted apres release from the Ontario Under- graduate Students Alliance arguing that dercgulation at Queen's would result in "domino-l~ke effect" deregulationacross the promnce. The release stated that this would result in a two-tier education systcn

It's interesting to note that we seldom compare our issues to similar ones experienced by others. As we struggle through issues with housing, tuition and others, we should remember that these problems have likely already been solved m other instances. Clearly, such a comparison would be beneficial not only because it would help us dlscover how other people have dealt with thcir issues, but also because it feels better to know you'n not the only one.

Can selfishness save the environment?

MAPS AND LEGENDS I am going to take a position that will likely make me very unpopular in the environmental studies coffee shop, namely are more government regulations and command and control policies necesqarily the best way to prbtect the environment, And can the free market help encourage environmentally sustam- able behaviour?

The knee-jerk response to the latter is usually no But consider that when people reflexively call for more government action to protect the environment, they ignore the reality that the worst environmental offenders over the past century have been countries where the government controlled everything -the former Soviet Union and communist China Every year, more oil enters the world's oceans by way of Soviet rivers than by every oil tanker disaster or other spill in the rest of the world combined

The reason the ecological record of the free market is not much better is that the enmron ment and the ecological \enrice\ ~t provides have been wddly undercalued For example, the

world's plant life removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produces oxygen. Despite the fact that this process keeps us all alive, it is assigned no economic value zero. It is treated as a free good and consequently gets abused

Secondly, connder the way we measure the economy, the Gross Domestic Product. Let's say a forest in British Columbia is clear cut and the l o p g com pany pockets a billion dollars. Unfortunately, the clear cut increases run-off dramatically, the town down the river is wiped out by the resulting flood and needs to be rebuilt (a bLUlon dollar boom for the construction mdustry) GDP-wise, all this economic activity is great. Every town in Canada should be lucky enough to get flooded Some- thmg is clearly not nght with this logic

Since the market economy is something humanity invented and not subject to set in stone laws (like physics), it follows that we can change the rules to better suit our purposes If the natural environment is not sufficiently valucd by the market, we can change the rules to make it so

The trees in the previous emmple have a value beyond the amount of toothpicks one can produce from them They keep the \oil in place and reduce run off, which keeps the town down the mer from being flooded,

clearly this service has some economic value If the trees were properly priced to reflect this value or if the l o p g company was responsible for duplicatmg all of the services that the trees previously provided, it simply would not be economically smart to cut them all down The company would instead follow a more environmentally sustainable approach and find a balance between harvesting trees and maintamg the serwces that the forest provides The company profits off the trees it does harvest and the people downstream don't have to start sleeping on their roofs

Are there problems with this approach) Most certainly; here's a few: what's the value of a aver? An endangered species? Can you put a pnce on the Earth? (More on this next week) However, it is an approach to environmentalism that has not been p n an adequate try, and which shows great potential to protect nature within the current context of our world

Since global capitahsm does not appear to be going away in

the foreseeable future, perhaps it's time that we started to use it to help protect nature instead of waiting it out I doubt nature would last long enough if we hesitate

What study or case has ever been quoted showing that having a student housing distnct makes thmgs better) Have any of the Feds councillors evcr been to Kingston?

a conference room

I've got to hand it to the Womyn's Centre - they've done agreat job of convincing themselves and others that they're still somehow serving UW students

Nikki Chmmck's response to Gloria Tchun (Fenunism not Black/ W'hite, October 4,2002) was a very flowery defense of a service that has rendered itselfuseless

To the Womyn's Centre ladies why should Glouaattend any of your weekly meetmgs or try to learn from you what feminism is about? I sus- pect that she could actually teach the Wromyn's Centre a thing or two about fcminism, since their representatme, N&, wrote that, "feminism is about beingawoman" and that, "a feminist m not defined by what she does or does not believe " Accordingtothese statements, every woman is a feminist, regardless of her beliefs Would N& thengrant the label of feminist to awoman whopreferred to be sub- servient to men?

Nikki went on to accuse Gloria of placing the Womyn's Centre ladies "all on one notch" and rightfdly so The Womyn's Centre does make it preqclearthroUghthei~display board, Web site and the numerous but narrow scope of resources and activities that they have certain beliefs and that thore isn't room for every ideology at the Womyn's Centre It doesn't take a gemus to realize that Nikki and her posse of womyn have chosen to pi- geon hole themselves as hairy-legged, pussy chanting,pottery making,pro choicegrrls

Several Irrpintreaders have sent e- mails decrying the decision to run the

Insert. The final decision was made by the editor-in-chief and the advertising/production manager. Although the insert passes the Imprint Code of Ethics, there has still been much debate over the merits ofImprintchoos- ing to include the insert, which was not marked as an advertisement.

Inaninterview'ruesday afternoon, A1 Buttnor, director of public affairs for the Toronto branchmd amember of the Church of Scientology for 22 years, explained that the controversy surrounding the insert "doesn't sur- prise @m] at all. The bottom line is that I thLnk discussion is good at university. Students should be ex- posed to new ideas; that's what LUI- versity's really all about. There should be a healthy discussion." Later in the

about the possibility of expanding the campaign, Buttnor says that the Church of Scientology "would like toget [the inserts] into most universities." He went on to say that in matters of spirituality and religion,opendlscussions of the sort are usually "frowned upon."

Buttnor dismissed The various markings used by the Church of the objections of stu-

However, public affairs director Buttnor stressed that the insert "is put in there to Interest people" and that "people look at it and find out if tt's true for them."

He believes that the insert is an excellent way to reach out to unlver- sity students and emphasized that the church's intent is not to "bludg- eon" Imprint with Scientology, but rather to open their minds to a new p055lbility.

A meatless alternative for the holidavs Vegetarian feast for Thanksgving Monika Smetana of CS at UW, said that her f a d y is

more accommodatingto her diet now than they used to be. "It took them a while to understand. Ifwe're going to have a tng family dinner, I'll cook for myself. It's more tricky with extended family because often people feel un- comfortable about bringing your own food. And since meat eaters don't often know exactlywhat tocook for a wgan,it canbc difficult. Sometimes I find I can't eat anythingif I go to other people's places for dinner."

For some vegetarians, finding a common ground of rcspcct between themselves andmeat caters is a tough battle. Peter,whois m his second year ofCS, spoke ofhis troublesin first year residence: "If you're vegan and in resi-

dence, it's not good. For about 45 days all I could cat was white rice. After a whde I just couldn't sand rice anymore so I stopped eating altogether for a few days. I contacted the food services hierarchy to request something - a microwave at least so that I could cook my own food - but to no avail. Pcople don't realize that vegans just wanttoeat. It's not that difficultwe just want food. It wasn't until I got too sick to continue my studies that anyone paid any attention."

So what are some of the altcrna- tives for vegetarians whose friends and families just don'tget it? Sylvia,in her second year of arts, sad she just simply eats all thc sidc dishes and ignores the meat. "My mom wasn't veqaccommodatingwhen I first be-

Thanksgiving such as Thanksgiving casserole, tofupumpkmpie and tofu turkey with stuffing to name a few. Tofu turkey is a good alternative to pcople who cannot eat meat for reasons not related to ethical or political values but still like the taste and tes- ture. Caroline added, "a lot ofpeople have been raised arouild family tradi- tions. \When we think of a traditional holiday dinner, especially for those

who come from an anglophone family - it all centers around meat. For some people,Thanksgivingis just not the same without the turkey. Tofu turkey, especially when store bought, looks amazmgly close to the real thing. It doesn't tastc cxactly the same, but it gives vegetarians something to share with their family and you save the life of a turkey, which for some is very important."

Sick of home life A. Sex is a funny thing to define. If youuse the Merriam-Webster Online definition,"intercourseinvolvingpen-

etration of the vagina by the penis," then you're right, it would be pretty hard to do this without both a vagina and a penis. However, just to prove that dictionary guys aren't stuffy prudes, they've expanded the definition and offer as analternative, "intercourse involving contact between individuals other thanpenetra- tion of the by the penis,"which doesn't tell us much more.

Clicking to intercourse, we get as the third definition, "physical sexual contact between individuals that involves the genitaha of at least one person." This is something we can work with. Some optional accesso- ries fur the pcrson whose genitalia is not involved could be mouth (fellatio), tongue (cunnilingus), fingers (hand job), hands (fisting), anus (sodomy), toys, vegetables, etc.

Fetishists get into a whole other territory and require consideration of sexual acts that don't involve genitals at all. But let's leave that for another day.

In your wisdom you've decided to write me rather then Merriam or that rat bastard Webster. This entitles you to some of my musings along with your answer. These days straight, gay and lesbian couples arc all performing pretty much the same sexual acts. For example, most participants on the dating circuit accept oral sex as par for the course.

Q. AU last year I went home for every holiday. I'm getting sick of spending so much time there and this year I want to stay at school more. Am I an ungrateful daugh- ter? My parents pay for my education so I should probably feel indebted and want to make thcm

A. What you're feeling is natural and doesn't make you ungrateful. Parents' funding of your education does place pressure on you to do what they want. Any time you rely on the benevolence of others it puts you in a difficult position to manage both their desires and pour own. In this situation, follow your own.

Hamburgers, gourmet style

SHORT ORDER

Stanley's Burgers 210 King North 885-1850

Marbles Restaurant 8 \T7illiam East 885-4390

In these days of fast and frozen foods, real hamburgers are becom- ing a thtng of the past. \Xhile Stanley's Burgers and Marbles Restaurant have dramatically different facades, inside they share the secrets to a great burger: pure beef, freshly cooked, servcdon homestyle buns. White, of course - this isn't health food.

In my time in Waterloo, I have walked past Stanley's Burgers numerous times without giving it a second thought. Upon entering, however, I realized how foolish I had been. The gruff, older man at the counter was not-so-patiently explaining that he takes no respon-

sibility for the spicy fries since they are made by McCain. By contrast, the plain fries are anythtng but - they are hand-cut,perfectly cooked and crispy despite their pale appearance (a sure sign of clean fryer oil). Initially, they accidentally gave me spicy fries whtch, although mass- produced, certainly benefitted from the competence of the cook.

The burgers are huge, so I ordered the pmor burger combo whtch includes an order of fries and a small pop for $3 99 '1 he 10 per cent student dtscount kept the total under $4 after tax.

I had plenty of time to observe my surroundtngs while I wattcd for my burger. A sign by the door proudly proclaims that the burgers are 100 per cent beef and served on bakery buns. It isn't exactly fast food, but it's worth the time. With lettuce, tomato, pickles and dijon mustard, the burger was juicy perfection.

For a few dollars more, Marbles offers an interesting twist on the traditional burger. On the day I visited, the restaurant was full. I had a glimpse of a quirky design touch, a

A cast iron pan is ideal for cooking steak and duck because it distributes the heat evenly and stays hotwhen the meat is added to the pan. If you don't have one, consider a s h g your rela- tives if they have one you can borrow. Since the advent of non-stick, many good cast iron pans have languished m basements.

Steak with port sauce

Despite its fancy name, prime rib steak is actually quite affordable - I bought mine for $5 per pound at CentralFrcshMarket. It is quite a rich (read: fatty) cut of meat, but resist the urge to trimit before coolung. The fat adds a lot of flavour to both the meat and the sauce.

1 prime rib steak salt and pepper 1 tbsp. oil 1 /4 onion or 1 shallot 1 clove garlic 1 /4 cup port

Mince the garlic and onion. Heat acast iron pan overmedium-

htgh or high heat for five minutes. Season the steak on both sides

with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan. Place the steakin the pan and leave it for three minutes. Turn it over

and leave it for three minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium-low,place a plece of foil over the pan and cook until the meat reaches your desired taste. For medium-rare, thts will take about four minutes.

Remove the steak to a plate and cover it with the foil.

Add the garlic and onion to the pan. Cook for three minutes, or until both are softened. Add the port and bring to a boil. Boil for two to three minutes or until the sauce is thick- ened. Serve a small amount of sauce on each serving of steak.

Optional presentation: Remove the bone. (This is the cook's treat.) Thmly slice the meat and arrange it on the plates. Drizzle with the sauce.

Servestwo.

Duck breast

Cookedmedim-rare,duck breasts have a rich meattness reminiscent of steak.

You could instead marinate the duck in red wine or grape juice and make a port sauce as above, except pouring off all but one tablespoon of the fat before startingthe sauce.

2 duck breasts salt and pepper zest and juice of one orange zest and julce of one h e

Marinate the duck breasts in the juice mixture for at least four hours or up to one day. Discard the mixture and pat the breasts dry.

Heat a cast iron pan over m e b - high heat for five minutes.

Score the sktnand fat on diagonals one cm apart, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Score the breast on diagonals perpendicular to the first

ones, creating a diamond pattern. Liberally season the breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the breasts fat side down in the hot pan. Leave them for four minutes. Turn the breasts and cook for three more minutes. Remove to aplate and allow the breasts to rest for five minutes before serving.

The duck fat remainingin the pan canbe usedto fry potatoes or instead of butter in mashed potatoes.

Buildings

Building demolitions are another common example of implosion. In ths case, the collapseis actuallyattrib- uted to gravity and not atmospheric pressure; however; the term implosion is often used in the industry.

Thc basic idea of building implosion is that if you remove a building's support structure at a certain point, the section of the building above that point will fall down on the part of the building below that point. Provided thatthisupper section is hcavyenough, it will collide with the lower part with sufficient force to cause significant damage. A true building implosion is only imtmted whenother structures or

Cool runnings Tips lor cold weather running Erin L. Gilmer IMPRINTSTAFF

As runners and joggers who enloy the outdoors, you prob ably have been too busy enjoy- ingthe warmweatherwe've been expenencmglately to evenbegin worryingabout how to keep up your sport or hobby through out the upcoming cooler months It is important to prc pare for the falland winter if you mtend to continue running outside safely andcomfortably

One of the most important things to remember for cold weather running is the impor tance of staymg warm Slightly cooler weather canmake healmp - easier and improve run times, but if you intend to run m the intense cold, fading to matntain body tern- peratureandprotect skincould be dan gerous Keeping warm and comfort able will also cnhancc your enjoyment and keep you going longer

Anvonewho has spent apenodof time outside on a cold winter day has surcly felt the pain dfreezmg fingers Wearing mittens and not gloves nil1 keep your hands warmer, avoiding frostbite

Sometune5 wmd is ani\we to the winter athlete Besides wearing a windbreaker, you can also take meas- ures to protect your skin Try putting petroleum jelly on yourlips,nose and cars Pctrolcum jelly on the hands can also help to keep them from drying OU t

To keep the wmd from tlmg you, - try facing thewindat the beguuung of your run and on the way backlet the wind push you home.

When it comes to actually run- mg,it's agood idea topace yourself somewhat differently in very cold weather. It's wise to decide how long you are going to run mstead of how far. Runmore slowly and for a shorter time than you usually would. Run- m g at too fast a pace without ad-

There is a lot to remember about winter runnmg, but most ofit is common sense The important things are to have fun and stay safe And if you read through these suggestions and stdl think you won't be able to hold your own m the cold, you could always try a treadmill or the mdoor track at Waterloorec center

Raptors rock Waterloo Keith Loo SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

The 'Toronto Raptors training camp was held in \X'aterloo from Monday, September 30 to Sunday, October 6. The camp marked the beginning of what looks to be an escitlng seasonin which wc expect great things from Vmsanity andthe rest ofthe Raptors.

It was great to have the team in town and it was even better to watch them play - although it wasn't all fun and games. The Raptors were here on a mission: to practice and to work with a squad that has not been 100 per cent healthy for most of last season.

WhenMorris Peterson was asked whether he had a chance to tour Wa- terloo, he replie d, "Unfortunately, no. We've been w o r k g hard the whole week."

And when Alvin "Boogie" \Villiams was asked the same question, he replied,'@%s is trainingcamp. We're not here to play, we're here to practise." Although his injuries did not allowhun toplay in the intrasquad game on Saturday, that won't keep Alvin away from the game. During the shooting sessions on their Satur- daypractice,anotherRaptor teammate challenged himtoa three-point shooting contest. The bet was that Alvin Williams could not make 11 out of 15 three-point shots.

Always a showman, Alvin made 10 out of 12 baskets easily and after taunting his opponent with two er- rant shots he calmly drained the last basketandwonthebet. Believeme- Alvin can shoot.

Saturday was an eventful day for the Raptors. After amornifigpracticc from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., they were to play an intrasquad game in front of a sold-out crowd at the PAC at 5 p.m. The game was such a popular ticket that it sold out 40 minutes after the ticketswent on sale. There was also a pep rally for the Raptors from2:30 to 3:30 inwhichRaptors analyst Chuck Swirsky and general manager Clcll Grunwald were present to meet and greet the fans. h basketball clinic followed from 330 to 5 in which the assistant coaches taught fans some of the fundamentals of basketball. At 5:30pm, the intrasquad game began.

It was amazing to see the amount of support theRaptors hadm\Vater- loo. Che fan told me he hadlined up four hours before the game began just so that he could get a bctter seat. And luckily for him, he did so. By the time the game started, the PACwas so crammed that pcople were standmg and loohng over the shoulders of other fans w,ay above in the conces- sion stands.

As expected, the Raptors delivered an exciting game. KrithVince's team down by as much as 30 points, Team Purple came backandhat Team\Y"hite by one point thanks to the clutch shooting of Mo Pctcs, who scored five three-pointers,andthegame winning three-pointer by rookie Chris Jeffr~es. Here are some highlights

Before and after thegame, I had the opportunity to ask Alvin, Morris, Vince, the Junk Yard Dog and Chuck Swirsky about the importance ofplay- ing in front of a student population and the significance education played on their carccrs a n d the reply was

important to me " Mo Pete5 added, "My cducationm school, mmy f a d y andinlife haveallplayeda~eryimpor tantpart in my career" and JYD said, "bducation is the key "

Chuck Swirsky, the Voice of the Raptors, had this to say about education andwhy itwas important to play in front of a student body, "Educa- tion should be a top pnoriq - edu cation is key Basketball should be second to education "

Vmce added "Education is veq importantmmyhfe "Aswe canrecall, he left the Raptors in game sexen of the Conference Championship two s~asons ago to attend his graduation in North Carolina

Men's basketball looking sharp With the new season starting today, there is plenty Warrior basketball fans can look forward to

Ian Spitzig SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

After last year's somewhat disappoint- Lfig season, the K'aterloo Warriors basketballteam,lcd by 1 I -yearveteran coach Tom IGeswetter, is looktng to improve this year. The new team will be throwing its weight around in the paint, crashingthe boards and forcing turnovers with iron-tight dcfensc. After finishing eighth in their division last ycar, coach Kieswetter has set his goals for the team a little higher. He sounded optimistic, saying that he was hoping to make the top four this

Ym, This will be a challenge for the

team, especially since a few skdledvet- erans wdl not bc returning. These include Paul Larsen, last year's MVP; Milidrag Mhdrag, the defensive spe- cialist; a top scorer on the team last year,Shane Cooney;JoshVanWeeran and a few other notables.

Their absence docsn'tworry coach I(ieswetter.

A strongcore ofplayers stdlremam from last par, with top scorer and rookie of thc year Graham Jarmen returning, and with some fresh faces ready to fill in as replacements, Kieswetter seemed confident in h s outlook for the team

And why shouldn't he be? Last ycar's recordwas misleadmg. Overthe course of the season, after an encouraging start (winning the McGill prcscason tournament), the team lost several close games whdc having to

start two roohrs. Another reason for his optimism

is that, durmgthelast f i v e p e s of the season, the team was ona quasi-streak, winning three oftheir last five games.

Furthermore, with the return of co-captains Mike Sovran and Bryan Nichol andwiththc addedexpenence of thc youngerplayers, ths year's team should be more competitive and more successful.

The team's strengthsare undoubt- edlyits skdlleve1,itsleadersh~p through the co-captains and returningplayers andits tcamplay. Ifthe teamcan focus on these key characteristics, it should be able to evolve and strengthen throughout the year.

One of the caveats, though, after ~pealung~iththe coach,istheulackof experience. Ths wdl bewhere thevet- erans come in. Theywillhave to teach and season the team's newer players and he$ to make them comfortable so that they can learntoplay effectively and competitively at the varsity level.

The early seasonunfolds this Fri- day. Your Warnors will be facing UW Alumni here at the PAC. One week later, the team ventures over to the Wilfrid Laurier Goldcn Hawks tournament. A week after that they travel to Ottawa for a tournament and then on November 1 the team will be at home hosting the Nusmith Classic, which should be a treat toany basketball fan.

G: Talk about your musical jour- ney, from starting out to where you are right now.

' K: Iguess youcouldcallitanatural progression. One thing T was always aware of was I neverwanted to force anything. I wanted things to feel for me and also to appear to the people who were listcningandwatchingme, that everything was happening naturally. 1 didn'twant it to seem contrived or prefabricated, and I thtnk that was accomplishedbecause I wasveryp- noid about the choices Tmade throughout the songs I put out, of how it sounded and I was a bit paranoid too about people seeing me develop, but I thtnk that ended up being a good thmg, ofpeople watchmgmego from whatever I was doing with Musical Essence towhere Iamnow. They feel they're a part of your life. Something about that first video, I feel people saw me go from like a boy to more of a man hnda thing, saw me grow up, grow a beard ctcetem I thinkthat has an effect on people. They feel they h o w you and they can relate to you and ~ou've justbeenmundand ~ou're something in their consciousness, so f thinkitwasgreat theway ithappened and I wouldn't wish it any other way.

G: How about your spiritual jour- Bey, from where you were when you stmedinmusic towhere youare now.

K: My parents were very,very religious, so a lot of that was set for me &om probably 0 to 16. It wasn't till I was around 17 or 18 that I s m e d to make choices ofmy ownandinvesti- gate miles and mounds of paper and religions. Spirituality is about how

K-OS is getting personal.

you feel, how you relate to the God w i t h you, how you relate to the infinity and the greatness within you that's already there. I think that the prime battle everyone'sgoingthrough is happening w~thin.

G: In your lyrics, you talk about getting people to realize they aren't who they think they are.. .

K: 'l'he images we try to put out to people, the images that are pushed uponus, might not always be whowe are. We might just be those things because we think it's cool to be it, or something in our soul feels that we'll be fulfilledifwe're this type ofperson, but maybe that's notwhowe really are, Maybe we're something deeper that. maybe we need to look in a different type of mirror and not just compare ourselves all the time to what society says. Maybe we really need to see who we really are. It's just a metaphor for self-awareness and seeingwhat's beyond the surface. '

G: So how do yougo about doing this hip hop?

K: It's kind of like riding a surf- board, you know. Hip hop would be

the wave and pour job is to figure out how to.. .you can't try to attack the wave, you can't try to conquer it, basically you have to just ride it. It's the same thingwithhip hop. Youpstgot to get a feel forthe naturalmovements of how it goes and know when the wave is moving this way, you move thatway. Yougetvery sensitive tothis giant, this natural phenomena of hip hop.

G: Something I wanted to talk about here was hip hop and issues around raceandstereotypes andpreju- dices and misunderstandings.

K: Hip hop is amusic that has been evolved out of the ghettoes of inner cities, whether it's in Jamaica or the United States. Inner cities are composed of all races, from Portugese to black to white. However, this music has ended up being primarily black and Latino and now with the arrival of Eminem etcetera it's now being branched out. Other cultures are starting to grab onto hip hop.

McCormack: the art of balancing teachmg and writing

Continued from cover

When asked whether he would rather write full time in- steadof teaching, he said that he enjoyed the teaching element and besides sometimes you need to "get away from the blasted writing." His reasoning behmd this is that too much time set aside for any one par- ticular activity can become quite a scary thing.

The students here should be gladthat McCoi-mackcontinues to teach. Those who have been in one of his classes will agree that his passion for the written word shines through in his lec- turcs. Thislovc ofbooks bcgan asachild. Living inaxdent and poor area of Scotland, he en- ioved the escape that the ficti- , ,

tious worldprovided. When he began writing in university, he wrote poetry to try to impress the young ladies. ltwas thereatuniversitythathc met Edwin Morgan, an accomplished Scottish-I'nglish poet. Morgan was the first writer that McCormack met and he provided the necessay encour- agement. "Really all a writer needs is someone there to support you." As McCormack said, "if someone was there telling you what to write, you wouldn't want to do it anyway."

FromScotland to Canada and everywhere in between-McCormack has travelled extensively in Europe and has lived in both Mexico and Noah- ern Australia- the question remains, why would an author choose Water- loo as a place of residence? There are many places that one would think could provide much more scope for the imagination; however, for McCormack, Waterloois as nurtwing as anywhere else. In fact, of all of the places he has visited, Waterloo is his favourite. "Everywhere else has been delightful, butthey haveall hadat least

one stumbling block, whether it be a pohtlcal or health problem " It 1s un- derstandable why McCormackwould hold this view, in 19% Waterloo was voted the cleanest spot to live in the world.

McCormackis definitely mterested inhumanbehaviour. This shows even in h ~ s love for his cats (he has five), which he describes as having "great human qdties." Thegreatest advice came from his wife who said "evem- body should have a cat at some time or another just to practise loving."

It isn't the money, the publicity or anything else that makes Eric McCormackwrite. Ofthe many things that drive otherwrlters, forhunwrit- ing is fun, a way to pass the time. Besides, he said, "if I didn't write I don't know what I would do with myself."

Melissa Bunn SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

A common lament of many Waterloo students is the lack of a local music scene What many people don't reali7e is that the lack of a sccnc is mostly due to the h t cdnumber ofvenues and promoters,notdue to alackofgreatbands One band try% hard to generate some local support is Masters and Moderns Not only are we lucky enough to have them call \X1aterloo home, the majority of band mcmbers arc also students at UW

A close encounter An overlooked olav turns out better than expected The Designated Mourner Wallace Shawn October4-5

Lauren Staines SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

The Registry Theatre in downtown IGtchener was the perfect setting for The De~lgnated Mo~mzer. It is a small theatrewith an mtunate feel Itworked because m this play, the audience is truly a character, with the entire play consisting of the sohloquies of three characters telling their stones to the audimce

TheDe~gnafedMourner, directed by U7XTdrama gadTom Leslie and written by NewYorkactor/writer Wallace Shawn, is a story told in "flashbacks," recounting the violent overthrow of an unnamed country in which a new dictatorialgovernment systematically rids the land of all intellectuals, free- thinkers andartists. This results in the imprisonment of Howard (Scott Crockard), a somewhat pretentious but ultimately harmless poet, his group ofhangers-on; and his adormg daughterJudy (KathanneMiUs),who hangs around Howard's house wear mgnothmgbutapairofjeans,lipstick, andan often"forgotten"lacy bra Jack (Ted Phythtan), Judy's off-and-on- again lover, becomes inextricably in-

volved in Judy and Howard's shared life but is not targeted by the govem- ment because he is, as he himself puts it, "not very interesting." .

The success (or failure) of TheDes- ignatedMorrrnerdepends largely on the actors. Because the play is entirely &a- lope with very little interaction between characters, theactors must draw you m and make you squirm. Phythian aslackwasmost successfulatthis He is a strong actor, one fully enveloped in the character. Jackis defmtelynota likeable character ,pcrhapsduempart to his hobo-like visage and obnox ious demeanour. but Phvthian somehow manages to add a little something to make Jack tolerable, even when talking about playing with his dick and comparing it to both a large rodentanda baggedlunch (you don't want to know the details; my suffering from these mental images is enough for us all).

Mills' Judy didmanage t o p t e on my nerves at some points. She played acouple of scenes with just a touch too much melodrama, like a graduate of the "Passions" school of acting. Her devotion to her father bordered on disturbing. Why shewas so enthralled with this pompous ass I could never know, as Crockard's portrayal left something to be desired- that something being an ounce of h d t y .

Howard is yet another type of person I avoid the pseudo-intellectual poser who uses words like "socio economic" to impress us peasants and goes to see condescending bullshtt like A BeautIfuIMmd thinking it to be highly intelligent thee-yah-tuh

While the play was enjoyable over- all, there were moments that I felt I was being talked down to and the play's somewhatpretcntious concept (pop culture as a stepping stone to doom) may be m part to blame However, the uiliversalqualitics ofthe designated mourner (man against op pressive society) prettymuchmade up for any feeltng of pretension

It's not often that we get a unique play as The DeszgnatedMournerm K-K' and that's a shame However, the rcal travesty m this situation is that only two dozen people attended the play on the night that I attended Tlus regon IS alternately praised and cria- cued for being artistically vibrant and devoidof culture The latterwasdefi- nitely m full swing last Fnday night Pasty suburbanites may be a driving force m mainstream culture, but they shouldn't affect K-W's theatre scene Put down the remote control, resist the urge to see SweetHomeAbbamaat the megaplex yet a p (I know, it's tempting,) and get out to your local live theatre
