Thurs..Nov. 9, 4: 00, CC 135 All students welcome Birth control Centre de-

: fended As co-ordinator of the Birth

Control Centre, I would like to comment on the Imprint editor- ial of Thursday, November 2, which concerned volunteerism within the Federation. This editorial stated that, “The Fed- eration is being fiscally irres- ponsible by paying more peo- ple more money for what used to be done by volunteers.“, stat- ing as an example that, “Coun- cil extended the full-time posi- tion of Birth Control Centre co-ordinator for an extra two months.” (i.e. the position was established for three months in all.)

I feel that it is unfair to call this temporary co-ordinator’s position a “fiscal irresponsibil- ity” - the Birth Control Centre is certainly one of the best ex- amples of volunteeri‘Sm within the Federation. It has remained open continuously for the past eleven years without pa&l staff, offering free and confidential help to students as well as the community. (Besides birth con- trol, we also deal with unp.lan- ned pregnancy, VD, or any other sexual issue.)

The hiring of a co-ordinator was made necessary by the un- expected loss, last spring, of most of our trained volunteers, through graduation, new jobs, etc. These dedicated people had shared the task of co- ordination, giving from 6 to 30 hours per week of their free

time, in addition to being full- time students. These people also shared the job of training new volunteers each fall term, to ensure our continued exis- tence as a Federation service.

However, in July '78 it be- came clear that I would be the only trained volunteer remain- ing in September. Therefore I approached council, asking for the establishment of a full-time paid position, so that I could set up and run the fall '78 training program for new volunteers. An integral part of this training program is on-the-job experi- ence with an “old volunteer”. Since I was the only such vol- unteer iemaining, this required me to be in the office on a full- time basis.

Only after completing- our s-month training program are volunteers qualified to work in the office alone. We presently have twelve very committed and enthusiastic trainees. If their training program had been cut short by the discon- tinuation of the co-ordinator’s position, they would in all probability have been deprived of a very unique and important chance to do volunteer work.

Surely three month’s salary is not an exorbitant amount for the Federation to spend, when balanced against 11 years of solid volunteerism and a heal- thy outlook for its continuing in years to come.

Fed buses unreIiable I thought that it was about

time someone warned the poor students who are foolish enough to rely on the Fed buses. I have beep using the service every week this term except one, and I can see just how regularly they are screwed up. Last Sunday night, at least 20 people were left waiting in Toronto when the school bus did not show up. This is a rather regular occurence. On the 2 oc- casions I did buy the school bus ticket it did not show. Once I got a ride on the coach, once I stood on the trip to Waterloo. I guess even that’s better than waiting in Toronto as they had to Sunday. Also, on at least 2 occasions the Friday 11:30 coach was late. A 20 minute wait in the rain was the result of one. The buses are frequently late in arriving at their destina- tion so don’t count on any pre- cise meeting time if you’re going to be picked up (in the transportation sense, of course).

Let me offer some hints to the less aware students. Gray Coach leaves Islington at 8:46 and gets to UW at 9:45 which is somewhat faster than the Fed buses. lo:05 and lo:46 buses get here at 12:2O if you decide to try to get here anyway. The

lo:05 is a milk route, you might as well wait for the other one. Check G.C. schedules if you want to get on at Bay, there are better seats if you can do this. Take note that-many Kitchener buses stop running where you want this late.

School buses ar,e screwed up far more often so it is probably worth your while to spend the extra money for the coach. This is no guarantee, thsugh, as some people with school bus tickets rode home on the coach last week while people with coach tickets had to find another way home.

If the difference in cost, 2 or 3 dollars, makes it worth taking the Fed buses then by all means do so. I do. Be warned that you sometimes have to stand on Gray coach too. But at least they will send for another bus for a large crowd and their tickets are good later if you want to wait. The Feds dare put on theirs that there are no refunds although I have not tried to get my money back after these foulups.

Where is the trouble? Last year the service ran reasonably well. Are the Feds screwing up the bookings ? I’m sure that there are some disgruntled “standees” who would like to see this person removedi Is it

United Trails? There are other charters available and I’m sure students wouldn’t mind paying an extra quarter for a guaran- teed, quick ride home. I for one hate paying the robber barons at Gray Coach 75 cents more than last year (4.95 now) so please straighten out a valuable stu- dent service.

Stew! Peters Editorialist Pompous

The Federation’s budget is in pretty good shape. In fact the only item that is experiencing an overrun is entertainment. It is a perennial problem and I be- lieve the reason is because everybody and their brother had their finger in the prover- bial entertainment pie.

and Andrij Molodecky as Bent chairmen. These three are put- ting a lot of their own energies into the Federation which makes me perform more re- sponsibly. This administration is stronger than it ever has been, so two things.

Ciaran O’Donnell, editorialist for the Imprint, is a pompous, arrogant reporter who tends to sensationalize figures and occurrences for the sake of being controversial. Your negative attitudes have no , ’ constructive value and you only Succeed in further alienat- ing the already apathetic stu- dents from the Federation. As far as the chevron goes, re- member, mud thrown is ground lost.

I am proud to be involved with the Federation and sad that more of you aren’t.

Rick Smit

I have avoided engaging in a written debate with either paper. I felt that it was counter productive, but so much mud has been thrown in my direc- tion lately that a response is in order. During the summer I felt quite alone lacking a cohesive and working executive and council. When no one is up here working I tend to slack it, but if there is energy and work being generated I become quite vigorous myself. That situation has changed particularly with the election of Mark McGuire as vice-president and Asad Mohammed as External affairs

The Imprint encourages let- ters to- the paper. Letters should be typed, double- spaced, on a 64 character line, addressed to “The Journalism Club, c/o The Federation of Students.” Please include your tele- phone number, name and faculty.

News Shorts Babysitters FIII Short Supply

Students with children are having a hard time get- ting away from them due to an apparent shortage of sitters who work for reasonable rates.

Maryanne Bowden, the Grad Club’s administrative assistant, told Imprint that she receives numerous requests for babysitters but is unable to help for lack of them.

The Grad Club maintains lists of people who offer services at reasonable rates, such as typists.

Bowden explained that commercial sitting services charge about $20 per day, which is beyond most stu- dents’ finances. A reasonable rate for students would be between $1.50 and $2.50 per hour.

Bowden said she would like to see the range of service referrals by the Grad Club expanded to in- clude other tasks such as looking after homes when the occupants are away.

Anyone interested in supplying such services (especially babysitting) should contact the Grad Club during office hours. 1

Mohammed is running a booth in the Campus Centre, starting today, with a dis- play of material relevant to cutbacks. The booth, which was to be set up Tuesday, was delayed by the Campus Centre because the co- ordinator wanted to see the material that is to be dis- played before it goes up.

, Chevron referendum- coming t

The Engineering Society is circulating a petition this week calling for a referen- dum on the future of the Chevron, UW’s official stu- dent newspaper.

The petition has already obtained the signatures necessary and the referen- dum will probably be held at the end of the month.

Under federation bylaws, the signatures of five per- cent (approximately 800 students) of UW students are required before a re- ferendum is called.

By 4 pm on Tuesday, the first day of the petition, over one thousand signatures had been collected.

The petition reads “Should the Chevron, as constituted November 30, 1978 (be it incorporated or not incorporated), continue to be the official student newspaper of the University of Waterloo retaining its current office space in the campus centre, and current student levy.”

“The results of this re- ferendum are to become ef- fective on January 1, 1979.

According to EngSoc president Paul Johnson, the decision to call for a re- ferendum was made by the EngSoc -executive on Mon-

day. However, EngSoc had He said that he differed been considerin,g the action with the Chevron over the and investigating its legal- ity for some time.

’ ,/ AFS snuffs it _a Asked about the wording

of the petition, -Chevron editor Dave Carter said “the wording is fine, for what you’re doing. ”

The Atlantic Federation of Students (AFS) dissol- ved November 4, the same day that a meeting of 11 Nova Scotia universities and colleges met to form a provincial organization.

Carter expressed concern over the fairness of the re- ferendum, since the federa- tion will be running it. Johnson proposed that the Chevron have a representa- tive on the judicial commit- tee overseeing the vote.

The fate of AFS was sealed recently when referen- dums at Maritime universities resulted in many in- stitutions dropping out.

AFS had been ailing for two years, with student councils feeling that the organization was not repres- enting their interests.

Chevron news editor/production manager Larry Hannant felt that the referendum was unneces- sary. “What’s the issue,” he said.

Dick Matthews, a Dalhousie University student councillor, told Imprint that “AFS had problems in that the executive was not responsive.” He added “with Nova Scotia I think the concerns could be more localized and it will be easier for the institutions to get together on matters of mutual concern.”

Dalhousie, which hosted the November 4 confer- ence, will hold a referendum next February to con- sider a student levy for the organization, which has yet to be named.

Johnson said that EngSoc wanted a referendum be- cause they felt that refunda- ble fees are a “one-sided question.”

A provincial organization of universities may also be formed in Newfoundland. Memorial University was the only remaining member of AFS outside of Nova Scotia at the time of dissolution.

Plan is “very largely used” according to Ruth Stap- leford, medical secretary with Health Services.

Although UW has always had supplementary insur- ance, this is the first year a number of extensive be- nefits have been included.

Major benefits include 100 per cent reimbursement on prescription drugs after one dollar deductible, and vision care benefits which include up to $40 per year on lenses, frames and glas- ses.

The insufance plan also gives foreign students coverage during the OHIP “waiting period”.

Stapleford said claims for the past two months totalled $5000. Local pharmacies confirm that the service is used, with claims under the plan ranging from three per week to.over 2,5 per day.

To use the plan, students present their ID card and benefit card at a participat- ing pharmacy, and pay only the one dollar deductible part of their drug bill.

growing tropical plants? Well, they’re going tropical plants to sell to you. There’s a market there for it, ther’s a desperate need for foreign exchange so they can buy some of the manufactured goods that we sell to them.

In some-cases it means giving up something. Strathy: It’s not necessarily a matter of giving up a lot, but perhaps of being happy with the standards we have and not constantly trying to increase it.

Typically, they’re using : land to grow things that don’t do much for them as a people, except to give them foreign exchange. So they have to sell you the plants to get the money to buy some- thing from you, whatever it might be.

Federation’s Charter Busses to Toronto. -

, On behalf of the Federation of Students, I wish to apologize to all those students who found themselves inconvenienced by the non-appearance of a scheduled bus, on two recent occasions.

On Friday, October 27, the fault was our_s,as the person expected to show up in loading the bus absented himself and the seven persons waiting to board the coach were therefore not informed that they had to take the school bus, and were left stranded.

On Suliday, November 3, the fault was the bus company’s, as their bus had mechanical difficulty and could

, not be in Toronto to pick up the waiting passengers.

Again, let me apologize and assure everyone that we will do our utmost to make sure that there will be no recurrence of the-above problems.

Rick Smit, President.

The history of telecom- munications in North America has been one of continuous innoyation and invention as telephone companies kept pace with ever-growing demand. The importance of R & D to the communications industry is such that for many years, Bell Telephone Labs in New Jersey has been a leader in electronics research (the transistor, the laser, etc).

Curiously enough how- ever, a recent discovery which must be ranked among the most significant in the field of communica- tions since Alexander Graham Bell first got a busy signal was made not at BTL, but at Corning Glass Works.

There, in 1970, workers succeeded in making thin fibers of glass of such high purity*that light could travel through 1 kilometre of fiber with only a 20 decibel loss in intensity. With this dis- covery, long distance com- munication by transmission

of light over optical fibers became feasible, touc?ling off redoubled interest in the new technology worldwide.

But how does a fiber op- tics communication system work? Very simply, a mod- ulated light beam is pro- duced by varying the power supplied to a light emitting diode, or, in more sophisti- cated systems, a solid state laser.

The light beam, carrying the desired information, is conducted along an optical fiber to a photodiode. At the photodiode, the light signal is reconverted to an electri- cal signal which can then be passed to the user by con- ventional display or speaker technology.

Light is conducted along the optical fiber by a series of internal reflections. The fiber is conStructed with a glass core which has an index of refraction slightly greater than that of the cladding. Total internal re- flection occurs at the inter- face between the core and

the cladding, provided the angle of incidence of the light is greater than some hinimal value. In this way, optical fibers can conduct light around sharp bends and over long distances.

Since there is a sharp dis- continuity in the index pro- file of the fiber (between the two layers) it is referred to as a “step index” fiber. More advanced fibers are con- structed with a graded index profile. That is, the re- fractive index of the core glass decreases in a roughly parabolic manner with dis- tance from the center of the core.

Light rays may be en- vi.sioned as curving back towards the center of the fiber, rather than reflecting in a specular manner from the core-cladding interface. Graded index fibers were first developed in Japan by the Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Their “self-focussing” fea- ture gives them a higher transmission capacity than step’ index fibers. ’

Although this basic tech- nology has been around for a while, two major draw- backs - coupling and con- nections - have withheld its implementation. Foupl- ings are units which pro- duce two output signals from one input. These have been realized recently by fusing the fibers, so that the inner cores are in contact.

Connectors have not re- quired any breakthrough, but have been made pq,ssi- ble by precision fabrication. To permit proper transmis- sion, both a flawless surface and a near-perfect align- ment are needed.

Some readers may be wondering what advantage there could be in converting an electrical signal to an op- tical one for transmission, when the same signal could be transmitttid by conven- tional means over copper cables.

The advantages are numerous.

The most important one is that optical transmission systems have a much higher

(Everything you’% heard about BRADOR is true.) _ 1 . .

The Imprint invites students who are working in scientific and technical fields of interest to write sci- ence features. However, please discuss the topic with the science editor first. Please leave outlines in ahe Imprint mail box in the Federation office.

bandwidth that the most advanced copper cables. They can carry more infor- mation over a given dis- tance, or thesame arnount of information over a longer distance.

This means a cost saving in situations where large amounts of information must be transmitted over long distances.

The best example is a telephone trunkline bet- ween two switching centers in a large dity. The trunkline carries all calls from one district of the city to another. Typically, a trunk- line must be able to transmit thousands of telephone calls at the same time.

Fiber optics is so well suited to this application that an optical trunkline has already been installed by Bell Canada in Montreal. The more publicized fiber optic installation in Chicago (you may have seen a television commercial) was also a trunkline.

Closer to home, another type of trunkline is now being installed in London, Ont. The line will be used by a cable TV company to bring twelve TV channels and several FM signals from a microwave receiving tower to the cable TV dis- tribution center. (A televi- sion channel occupies 1000 times the bandwidth of a telephone call.) j\

The London trunk system is being installed by a new Canadian firm, Canstar Communications, in part- nership with Harris ,Tele- communications of Florida.

A second advantage of optical transmission sys- tems over copper cables stems from the fact that glass fibers do not conduct electricity. High external electromagnetic flux will not induce currents iti an optical transmission line which would result in noise at the receiving end.

Such electrically noisy environments are found at electric power stations, where fiber optics have al- ready been put to work in monitoring and control functions. Copper cables {previously used in these environments had to be ex- tensively shielded, at high cost.

The insulating quality of optical fibers is also impor- tant in cases where it is de- sirable to isolate electronic equipment from damaging high voltages.

For this reason, as well as for their high bandwidth, optical fibers will’*see wide use in computer main- frames and in mainframe- to-peripheral links. A number of fiber optic man- ufacturers have developed fiber optic cable aimed di- rectly at the computer mar- ket.- A leader is 3M, who supplies flat optical cable with factory mounted opti- cal trpnsmitters and receiv- ers $hich can be plugged directly into a printed cir- cuit board (PCB).

Hewlett-Packard and Honeywell have also de- veloped optical transmitter and receiver modules (made up of a photodiode or an LED and the requisite cir-

cuitry) on a single chip which can also be mounted onaPCB.

In the more distant future, it may be possible to man- ipulate the optical signals themselves in order to per- form logic and storage func- tions without conversion to electrical signals.

A third advantage of fiber optics is that the thin glass fibers are three to five times lighter than copper wires. While this makes most in- stallations much easier, it is of special importance to the aircraft industry.

A United States Air Force study recently showed that each pound (.454 Kg) saved in the design of an aircraft was worth $1000 in fuel sav- ings over the life of the air- craft. This saving was more than enough to justify use of fiber optics in all control and monitoring functions in airplanes.

There are also many spe- cial applications of fiber optic technology. Some fas- cinating pictures have been taken Secently with endos- copes - small bundles of optical fibers which are small enough to be inserted into the body without harm.

Endoscopes have also been a boon to doctors at- tempting to diagnose disor- ders of the* digestive tract, etc.

ITT, not to be outdone by AT&T, have released a TV commercial of their own. It describes a fiber optic communication which can monitor 16 L life signs in a diver many feet lYelow the surface. Since the optical fiber cable is so small, it does not inconvenience the diver while adding greatly to his safety.

The application of fiber \ optics which is probably of most interest to readers has been recently demonstrated in Japan. Exploring the “wired city” concept, the Japanese have used the high bandwidth of optical fibers to bring interactive cable TV into the home. Housewives can actually shop by TV, and office workers need not commute to the city core.

Admittedly, the wired city is a thing of the distant future. But fiber optics will ultimately make them pos- sible.

Since 1970, when the 20 dB/km barrier was first broken, fiber optics have come a long way. Attenua- tion losses have been pushed lower and lower untilfthey now approach the fundamental limit set by Rayleigh scattering.

Today, production fibers are available with attenua- tion less than 4dB/km. Al- though R&D will continue, fiber optics are now well into the process of moving from the lab to the field.

The went which best marks the end of the research-only era in fiber optics is the recent recogni- tion of K. C. Kao.

Dr. Kao, who is credited with predicting in 1968 that 20 dB/km or better fibers could be made, was awarded a Nobel prize this year for his work in fiber op- tics.

“Midnight ExpreW” A Racist Movie

Billy Hayes is an opium smuggler caught in Turkey in 1970. He was first sentenced to five years imprisonment for possession of stuff. Later higher court changed the sentence to 30 years for trading of hash. Billy Hayes escaped from prison in a mysterious ,way. Hayes published his memories.

Swedish ones.. . What is shown in the film as reality is untrue . . .” (Expressen, Stock- holm, Sept. 19,1978)

Then, Alazl Parker made the film Midnight Express (M.E.) based on ‘true story’. Alan Parker has never been to Turkey and never came in contact with the Turkish people. (Sev- eral interviews in Europe).

What kind of ‘true story’ is this? Everything is so distorted and tilted. What is the purpose? It would be too naive to think that all the& are done for tech- nical and/or commercial re- sons. If we’look caretilly to the film we can not find any human among Turks. In addition, in several places Parker delivers his message: Turks are sub- human. They ar& ‘cruel’, ‘thieves’, ‘murderers’, etc. They are ‘nation of pigs’.

When you see a movie of true story, you would expect not only events but also details and general view shot truly. This is not so in M.E. Film has nothing to do with Turkey and her pris- ons. No one can find those scenes anywhere in Turkey and her prisons. Shots in prison SO tilted that it is impossible to recognize that it is about Tur- key. First of all, there is no single prison like the one shown on the film. In particu- lar, Sagmalcilar, where Billy Hayes was imprisoned is a modern one built in sixties. Life in prison very distorted. Mud, chance games, clothing, ani- mals in prison has nothing to do with Turkey. ‘Turkish Re- venge ’ is one of the untrue storied added by Alan Parker. It is just a lie. Blanket event is another such story. It is untrue, simply, in Turkey prison ad- ministration does not supply any blanket and bed. They just supply only the mattress or bunk.

‘ . . . film is unbearable and dangerous . . . this representa- tion cannot be accepted.’ (Jac- ques Siclier, Le Monde, Sep- tember 19, 1978). ‘Midnight Express . . . or how to make a racist movie with talent . . . Fi- nally the scenario is to be con- demned and the film is nauseating. . .’ (F.F. L’Express Magazine, Sept. 18, 1978) “ ‘true’ story twisted to titillate viewers . . . Hayes, a layabout living on his old man’s money and attempting to make a motherlode drug score, por- trayed as innocent Bs a babe fresh from the baptismal font” (J. Ki,ely, K-W Record, Nov. 3, 1978).

In the name of humarrdig- nity, I urge every democrat per- son and institution to protest

. this abominabIe display, this mockery.

Must& Akgiil

Beating is another distorted fact. Beating of three young prisoners before school chil- dren is another Alan Parker contribution to ‘truth’. Another one is the machine used in beat- ing to hang up feet. Any-body with some acquaintance with Turkey knows that Turkish police and prison guards use ‘falaka’, a traditional way of beating by tieing feet with a stick and holding it up. No one can ever such a machine in Turkey.

Hemispheres’ sup- plemented

This letter is a reaction to Jason Mitchell’s review of Rush’s “Hemispheres”, which appeared in Imprint No. 11 (Nov. 2).

Daily life is another distor- tion. Like most of the prisons in the world, in Turkey prisoners are locked in their rooms at night. They can’t bath in their rooms. They are offered to have bath in grouos in a Turkish bath, usually once in two weeks. And they can have shower in washrooms. Scene in the film is just a Parker con- tribution.

Mitchell’s ‘review’, although adequately perceptive, requires some supplement.

For instance, Mitchell seems

Turnkey story is unture. First, those people are chosen among the very poor. They do cleaning, cooking, shopping within the pTison and paid by fellow prisoners. Obviously they can spy the prisoners like any other prisoner. But one thing is certain: they don’t have money to hide, if they had some than they don’t work as turn- key.

bent with the view *that “Hemispheres” must be closely compared with “A Farewell to Kings” (Rush’s previous studio album). W is obvious that some connection must be made, since “Cygnus X-l” is con- tinued and completed on “Hemispheres”, yet that is where the comparison of the al- bums, as albums, must end.

As individual ’ songs,

Alan Parker pays so little at- tention to facts and events. He mixes police with ‘bekci’ (sec- ondary police), and prison guards. In the film, guards are seen as police. When Hayes fi- nally escaped from jail we learn from the sign at the door he is in fact a bekqi. In one shot we see a policeman with beard, which is nonsense.

‘Hemispheres’ and ‘the Voyage’ may be compared, and were compared quite admirably by Mr. Mitchell, yet nothing is mentioned of Rush’s “2112” (the song), which is very simi- lar to ‘Hemispheres’ in several ways.

‘Turkish’ people in the film speak a language which can hardly be called Turkish. j These are some of the minor contributions grid distortions of Alan Parker. Nearly second half of the film is just untrue. He did not bite out tongue of turnkey. He did not kill anybody. He had sex relations with Swedish fel- low prisoner. He did not shout in courthouse.

Both songs: a) have a type of introduction. (‘Prelude’ in “Hemispheres”; ‘Overture’ in “2112") b) ‘have an explanation of the situation involved. (“Prelude” and ‘Apollo’ in “Hemis- pheres”; ‘The Temples of Syrinx’ and ‘Discovery’ in “2112") c) have their conflict emerge in the same order. (‘Dionysus’ and ‘Armageddon’ in “Hemis- pheres”; ‘Presentation’ and ‘Oracle-the Dream’ in “2112”) d) have a solution.

Film is so distorted that even Hayes accepts that most of the factual events are not correct, His Swedish fellow prisoner Bengt Bjarklund (named Eric in the film) says: “There was beating. . . but generally Tur- kish prisons are better than

It must be noted that the most surprising of these points is that they occur in the same order, which shows the struc- tural similarities of the two songs. Also, “2112” and “Hemispheres” have curiously less amount of acoustic guitar, relative to “A Farewell to Kings”.

Now, I search for a reason why you, Mr. Mitchell, left these similarities out of your

review. Was it because you ac- tually don’t know Rush’s music, and you aren’t aware of ‘2112’s existance? I concludti no, because y_ou, from the re- view, obvio&ly know about “Fly by Night” (Rush’s second album), and therefore you must be aware of “2112” (the fourth album).

Getting back to the review it- self, you state, “I haven’t the foggiest idea what the hell ‘Hemispheres’, the title track, has to do with ‘Cygnus X-l ‘, from the last album, which it was supposed to be a continua- tion of.” It is obvious ,that “Cygnus X-l,” book 1 took place in the middle of ‘Hemis- pheres’ (Armageddon), where the character states “My ‘Rocinante’ sailed by night on her final flight, to the heart of Cygnus’ fearsone force.” It is here that Part 1 takes place. The black hole is simply the medium that the character uses to get to the “City-of Immor- tals.” This was confirmed by Neal Peart himself, who stated something to that effect on CHUM-FM, on October 5, when ‘Hemispheres’ was being pre- miered on that station.

So Mr. Mitchell, where’s my beer? ‘i

Boatswain Flouted Law -Why is the I.S.A. kicking up a

big stink about Boatswain? Granted, the fellow has a tough time of it in his own country and has no future there without education, however, I find it very disconcerting that this supposedly well educated per- son should flout our immigra- tion laws. These laws have a reason and should be obeyed. Boatswain obviously knows the law, since he’s been deported before for breaking it. He knew the Penalty when he chose to break the law this time, and now that he has been caught must pay that penalty. These laws must be obeyed by all per- sons or our legal system will break down. Apparently, he was in the process of aquiring another student visa; so why was it necessary to stay here il- legally: My personal opinion is that he hasn’t got a leg to stand on. We students who are here legally, and pay our fees, should not have to support, with legal assistance, such irresponsible flagrant disregard for our coun- tries laws. Logic dictates then, that I side with Rick Smit when he suggests that Boatswain should not be eligible for any U of W legal assistance. As for the I.S.A. recall of Smit; give it up. Smit is protecting the interests of the majority of students from the minority who wish to take unfair advantage of valuable services which we provide for those in real and honest need? Boatswain blatantly and know- ingly broke our laws. He earned the punishment, he should get it. ft’s time that we made an ex- ample of one of these people to ensure that others will abide by our laws or be certain that they will face the consequences.

I am a member of NORML. I have-c6ntacted the head office in Ottawa concerning the founding of a NORML chapter here in Kitchener-Waterloo

--Region. Although I have much information on practicalities of establishing a chapter, bodies are needed. At least ten mem- bers. This is one basic require- ment for a new chapter. As the postal strike has slowed the mails considerably, I have not received a national list of mem- bers from Ottawa.

I am eager to begin acting on

When I questioned Mr. Leakey during an informal discussion in the Math and Computer Building, how he determines the ages of the fos- sils, he answered-that he relies on the experts. Unfortunately, experts are only as good as their methods.

The carbon-14 dating method for ‘example depends on decay of carbon-14 and the carbbn-14 content of the atmosphere. Both are assumed to be con- stant over periods to be dated.

The carbon-14 dating method for ‘example depends on radioactive radioactive decay of carbon-14 and the carbon-14 content of the atmosphere. Both are assumed to be con- stant over periods to be dated. As the radioactivity of carbon-14 is very weak, the method is limited to samples less than 20,000 years old. A newer method is the potassium-argon method. But, whatever these these dating methods are, they depend on a behaviour of matter in a cer- tain environment only re- cently discovered by modern science and on basic assump- science and on basic assump- tions made by scientists for tions made by scientists for the dating period.

geological age of geological formations can be correlated with the age of fossils found ,in them. The problem is of course again that the true age of the fossils is not known. From the theoretical point of view fossil indexing stands and falls with the concept of simpli! biogenesis. In practice, fossil dating breaks down, when simple and complex fos- sils are found side by side in a geological formation and if species of fossils considereato be very old are still found to be’ alive today as it was the case with coelgcanthus.

But dating is not the only uncertainty in anthropology. The clues to man’s past used by archeologists are chiefly fossils of skulls and skeletons, which are not the original skulls and skeletons. Fossils have survived through a still incompletely understood pro- cess, whereby minerals from the soil infiltrate and gradu- ally replace the very molecules of bone or other hard tissues of organism. The sweeping assumption of ar- cheologists usually is that fos- silization leaves forms and fea- tures preserved. This is for me impossible to accept, and even more so for an anthropologist faced with all those years that have supposedly been passed.

And then, there is the re- construction of skulls and skeletons from fragments, which is completely left to the imagination of the an- thropologist. It can never be claimed that any reconstruc- tion even resembles the origi- nal creature, as no man alive has ever seen the original.

Anthropology is generally based on the hypothesis of evolution. Skulls considered to be old, have been recon- structed in accordance with this hypothesis to look primi- tive, whereas a more open minded reconstruction could have yeilded a skull similar to those existing today. The evolution of man can of course never be proven to be true, as man existed and exists in such a variety that one can always argue that the few creatures who turned into fossils and whose fossils were found were only a few of the many living at that time.

The hypothesis of evolution becomes more and more com- plicated as more and more fos- sils are found. When I recently talked to an Old-Order Men- nonite farmer he said, he has

heard that it is more difficult to believe in evolution than in creation.

As an engineer, I have con- fidence in the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy flows basically in o>e direction and conse- quently that matter ap- proaches slowly a final state from which there is no return. I appears that matter had a be- ginning as it will definitely have a final state. Another in- terpretation of the second law of thermodynamics is that the universe moves from a state of higher order to a more random state. The hypothesis of evolu- tion requires the reverse.

I believe in God’s creation as it described in the Bible: In the beginning God created heaven and earth, then light, then the firmament, then grass, the herbs and trees, then the stars, then fish and fowl, then beast and cattle and finally man in His image. Thus, creation means abrupt introduction of new species, for which ample evidence exists. The con- tinuity aspect of an evolution is crucial for the hypothesis of evolution, but has never been proven because of the still missing links.

imprint Censorship It was printed in boldface

under Letters in the Imprint of Nov. 2, 1978 that my last re- sponse to B. Calvert’s response was not printed, as the Imprint staff felt that the debate on de- terminism had gone on long enough and that it had turned into a lengthy personal dialogue. It-was also stated that the letters by me and B. Calvert on this topic will not be printed and in particular a shortened version submitted by me will not be piinted.

This action of the Imprint represents in my opinion “a vio- lation of free expression of opinion. The Chevron has to date printed all my letters to feedback, even though some dialogues were quite long.

If the Imprint wants to restore my confidence in its proper professing of freedom of the press, it should print my last response to B. Calvert of Oct. 24 in full and give Mr. Calvert a chance to reply. I had stated in my last response, that I will not discuss determinism with Mr. Calvert any further and gave fhe reasons for it.

ox falls short Post-mortem: “The

Shadow Box” is about death, and lots of it.

Three independent stories are dovetailed in this play about people who slated to die, and wait for I the inevitable in comforta- ble, controlled cottages, while doctors and other Gell-meaning people ease their physical and psychological pain.

The three “white rats” are Joe, an old man (played by Nelson Dyck), Brian, a di- vorced hack-writer and new-found homose,xual (played by Jay Wilson), and Felecity, a senile old woman with hardly an organ left to Gal) her own (played by Sandra Hoff- man).

The action is divided on ‘the stage, where scenes at the three cottages occur, sometimes simultaneously, though without interfering with one another. Bac’kstage is a row of eight chairs, oc- cupied by the visible characters when they are not required, and upstage is the interviewing room, a closed-off cell in which the patient speaks with an un- seen interviewer. 1.

tions much beyond the level

Felicity, an invalid, is taken of a stereotype, and thus we have a fairly typical, con- temporary play: throw a bunch of stock characters

in this case - and call the whole mess a play. 1

With good direction and gifted acting, s;tou might be able to carry it off. “The Shadow Box”, however, did not gel very well, and al- though there were good moments for nearly/all the performers 2 Brian and Be- verly managed to be very convincing at times - the net result was flaccid and trite.

The interviewer, for in- stance, had too much naive emotion in her voice to let the audience make any sense of the relationships between the patfent and the interviewer.

Also, the cuts from one cottage to -another were weak, and the attempts to coordinate action in all three simultaneously were gimmicky.

The play itself relies heavily on himmickry: too much is allowed to ride on the physical situations, like the inevitable conflict bet- ween Beverly and Mark, Brian’s lover: and the know- ledge we gain that the let- ters that Felicity has been getting daily from Claire, Agnes’ younger sister, are really written by Agnes her- self - Claire is dead, but Felicity refuses to believe it.

One record, though, in- cluding an intensely mov- ing performance of the Canon in D by Pachelbel, has justly become a classical bestseller in North America. Another, more recent, re- cording of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s Te Deum seems to have also made some im- pact.

Whereas the Concentus Musicus is famous for its “authentic” performances of Baroque music, and the Academy has a reputation for amazing versatility, playing even 20th century works, the Paillard Or- chestra is renowned for its precision and sumptuous textures: their performances of Baroque music are almost

Bowie/Stage _ As a long-time David

*Bowie freak, I’ve managed, to follow him through his countless metamorphoses without too much trouble, but lately, it’s been getting more difficult.

His latest offering is Stage, a double live album.

Most of the material is fairly recent, (2 songs from Station to Station, 4 from Low, 5 from Heroes), with Fame and 5 songs from Ziggy Stardust thrown in.

Bowie performs the songs from Low and Heroes with much more conviction than on the studio albums; he seems to be comfortable with them now, whereas on the original albums, he seemed to be making them up as he went along.

His voice is in very good condition, especially on Ziggy Stardust material, and all the words come out very clearly, since his ac- cent has almost disap- peared.

But there’s something missing on this album. It’s forgettable, which is very unlike Bowie. The influ- ence of Eno, Kraftwerk, and others ‘has managed to rob his music of its originality. ‘There’s nothing here that even comes close to albums like The Man Who Sold the World or Diamond Dogs.

The problem lies in the material itself, not in the way it’s played, since Bowie is technically at his best here.

The songs from Low and Heroes are simple and mechanical; the lyrics seem chosen almost at random. You get a succession of quick images instead of a complete, sustained vision like Ziggy Stardust or Diamond Dogs, where even the album cover was part of

, the story. Bowie sings with the

same detachment. There’s nothing of the passion of songs like Cygnet Commit- tee or Rock’n Roll Suicide. It’s very precise, calculated, and dull.

This a’lbum crystallizes what Bowie has been doing for the past three years or so, and in that sense it’s valu- able. The songs from Ziggy Stardust show how much he’s changed.

In a live show, like his concert in Toronto last May, Bowie can carry off his music, even make you be- lieve it’s really good.

But on record, there’s no excitement; nothing ties it all together. It comes out sounding bland. It seems Bowie has given up trying to shock people, which is sad. He was so good at it. The man who -sold the

world has become the man who’s too busy selling al- bums to thinkeof anything else.

In the cover photo, Bowie looks healthy, cheerful, and even nice. I never thought the word -“nice” would apply to David Bowie. It’s a terrible disappointment.

Don’t’ kid yourself. This album smashes stereotypes all over the.place. The foreshadowing starts ap- pearing on the inner sleeve, if you can tear your eyes off the most delectable cover since the Wilson. sisters made their debut. When I checked the credits to see which unknown studio musicians backed up the young lady, I came across the names of Bob Andrews, Andrew Bodnar, Steve Goulding, Brinsley Schwarz, and if that doesn’t give it away, Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, and a backup vocal ensemble called the “Rumourettes” - yeah, now we know what Graham Parker and the Rumour did with the time they bought by releasing a live album.

I don’t know how Miss Carter got mixed up with them, but somehow some of the brightest lights in the English New Wave move- ment help out on this album.

OK, so I overcame my ini- tial reaction and decided to give the disc a spin. You’d

exnect the Nashville- saturated daughter of Wilf Carter and June Carter Cash to produce set-your-teeth- on-edge whining country music.

Wrong again. She’s made a distinct effort to keep away from that style: at least one of the songs (“I Once Knew Love”) has instrumentation that even Jackson Browne would have grafted pedal steel guitar onto. It’s not here.

This is a finely crafted pop album. Carlene’s voice is both powerful and passion- ate, deeper and richer than one would expect. She has taken material from several songwriters, including two of her own compositions, and also plays a bit of piano and acoustic guitar.

And best of all, the music is just great: now catchy, now pensive, now heartfelt. This album/deserves to break in the biggest way. Look out, Linda Ronstadt.

Prabhakar Ragde

Lougarou Garolou

From its beginnings as “Lougarou” (in English, “werewolf”) this band has combined traditional French Canadian and French folk tunes with modern rock arrangements.

Like many successful French Canadian musical groups, Garolou tours the province of Quebec widely; playing CEGEP’s, small theatres and hockey rinks, as well as major Montreal gigs. Other stops have in- cluded French parts of On- tario and New Brunswick, but as yet the group has not ventured into English- speaking centres of the country.

The first album the band produced was released in 1976 and was simply titled “Lougarou”. Band members then were Marc Lalonde bn bass, with lead vocals; Michel Lalonde on acoustic guitar, with lead vocals; Michel Deguire on drums; George Antoniak on electric guitar with vocals; and Ste- ven Naylo’r on piano and synthesizer .

The songs ranged from a California-style arrange- ment of “Ah, toi Belle Hirondelle! ” to Jethro Tull- like guitar and piano ar- rangements largely influ- enced by the group’s piano player, Steven Naylor. He contributed the only origi- nal composition, “Eclipse”, which is a solid instrumen- tal piece. Other solid ar- rangements may be found in “La Belle Francoise” and “A la Claire Fontaine” - both illustrating haunting and yet soaring guitar and

piano passages. Lighter songs in better

known French Canadian folk arrangements are “Dis j Moi, Charles” and “Un Bon Matin”. Lead vocals by brothers Marc and Michel Lalonde may be a bit dis- concerting at first, but tend to grow on the listener.

A fine performance on violin from guest fiddler Robert Lalonde can be heard on the “A la Claire Fon- taine” cut. ‘This was an im- pressive first effort for a band little known outside Quebec and border areas. _

After the first album’s re- lease and a subsequent tour, the band ran into some legal wrangles with a law> suit brought against them by the Quebec folk-dance troup, “Loup Garou”. The latter won its case and the band was forced to change its name to Garolou. This also delayed recording of the group’s second album.

Finally they started re- cording their album in Feb- ruary of this year and came up with an excellent album

‘released soon after and ti- tled simply “Garolou”. Naylor and Antoniak left and were replaced with Quebecers Gilles Beaudoin on guitar and Reginald Guay on keyboards. Again, Robert “Bobby” Lalonde guested on violin for the sessions.

Songs were again drawn from traditional French Canadian and French folk repertoir. The guitar work of Gilles Beaudoin is excellent throughout the album, where every cut but one is solid, but most notable are “Aux Illinois”, “La Com- plainte du Mar&ha1 Biron” and “Germaine”. Vocals are

stronger on this album with more harmonies and a la- ment in “La Retraite de Bonaparte”. An excellent violin solo came from Bobby Lalonde on the cut “Le Depart pour les Etats”.

Garolou’s albums will be featured on “Music of French Canada” on

CKMS-FM 94.5, Saturday November 11th. Don’t miss this exposee of a group which deserves its solid reputation in the province of Quebec as a progressive rock band. The two albums mentioned above are avail- able on London Records.

fc rst me tournament The Warriors are off to

Montreal this weekend to play in the McGill Invita- tional, their first of many pre-season tournaments. McGill, Toronto, Waterloo and the number one ranked St. Francis Xavier X-men will be present.

e Atlantic conference teams which dominated the rrational rankings and championships last year, should again dominate this year as an extension of their eligibility rules has permit- ted last year’s fourth-year players to remain and has also allowed old-timers such as Mickey Fox to re- turn for one more year.

Mickey, who played for St. Mary’s a few years ago, has returned to last year’s national champions. For the past two years Fox has been playing for the Halifax senior team which knocked off Estonia in the final mi- nute (Fox scored the winner himself) of last year’s senior championship game. His performance at that tournament was awe- inspiring, so much so that one is inclined to wonder how any one can be ranked ,ahead of SMU (which is of- ficially ranked behind York and SFX). However, time will tell.

The next opportunity for Warrior fans to see their team will be on the weekend of November 17, 18 at the

the perimeter and driving inside at will, he accounted for 27 of the Estonian points, Bob Sharpe, a teammate of Russell’s from the Olympics, chipped in 13 points for Toronto.

The Warriors were led by Seymour Hadwen who played conservatively but managed 18 points against an intimidating line of de- fenders. Pat Brill-Edwards, showing unexpected shoot- ing poise, and Doug Vance contributed 13 apiece.

‘Waterloo coach Don McCrae provided plenty of time for all 14 players (in- cluding five rookies) to get on the floor. In addition to Hadwen, Brill-Edwards and Vance, Steve Garrett, Ron

Graham, Leon Passmore and Jim Commerford played well and look to be in line for busy seasons.

Traditionally the McCrae system sees 7 or 8 players from a team of 11 or 12 get- ting most of the playing time. It is, of course, too early to tell, but it would appear that these 7 will make up most of the team nucleus. One would im- agine McCrae to be looking towards Tom Fugedi or Richard Kurtz for extra muscle and scoring power under the boards, and to- wards his rookies for an extra point guard, perhaps one with some outside scor- ing potential.

Sports Shorts Hockey down two in US tourney

The UW Hockey Team continued its pre-season play this past weekend as they journeyed to Ohio State University. The Warriors played two exhibition games, losing them both by scores of 10-2 and 10-4.

Despite the losses, Coach McKillop was happy with the performance of his team. It was a good workout for the players, and it gave the coach a chance to observe some of the rookies.

Unfortunately, it was an expensive trip, four of the team’s players sustaining injuries. However, McKil- lop is hoping that they will all see action again soon.

Soccer loses in semi-finals The UW Soccer team concluded play for the sea-

son, as they were defeated by Laurentian in the semi- finals. The game was a sudden death playoff, and the loss ended the Warriors’ hopes for an Ontario champ- ionship.

The season was a tough one for Waterloo, with many disappointments. However, the team should be congratulated for their strong effort and fine soccer throughout the season.

Rugby downs Toronto 21-3 The UW Rugby Team played their final game of the

season on Saturday, defeating the University of To- ronto 21-3. The win gave the Warriors a 5 and 3 record. However, it was not enough for a playoff spot, and Guelph and Queen’s will battle for the champ- ionship.

The seconds also won, 13-9, giving them a 6 and 3 record.

Although the Warriors regular play is finished, the University of Waterloo will be sending a team to the seven aside tournament on Saturdai. This is a differ- ent aspect of rugby play, but is attended by most universities in Ontario. Waterloo won the tourna- ment in 1975.

The Rugby team has learned that one of their players, Murray McCormick, has been chosen by the Ontario Rugby Union fo try out for a tearn that will be touring east Africa. This is a real honour and indi- cates the caliber of players at Waterloo.

Soggy South beats out Kin Killers

Wednesday, the week be- fore last, ‘was the Women’s Intramural Flag Football Finals on the Village Green.

The weather was just rot- ten, windy *and rainy, but that didn’t stop the Kin Killers and South Quad V2 Macho Broads from com- ing out in full force.

Other masochists stand- ing out in the rain in- cluded dons Terry (SB), Katina (SC), Rob (WA), Bob (Coach, SA) and various other crazy fans from South.

The game looked like the Kin Killers had it in the bag as they forged ahead in the first five minutes with a touchdown.

The South team looked fairly depressed until the fans boosted their sagging spirits and an interception was caught for a touch- down and a convert.

After the Kin Killers made another six points and held off South until five plays from the end, when South caught the ball in the endzone and sewed up the game 13-12.

The rest is history. This is the fourth year in a row South Quad has won the women’s flag football, and they are one happy bunch _^ - _-
