Coundl rejects Bishops by Rob Dobrucki Chargesof “Marxism” and indifference to the unemployed

filled the Kitchener City Council chambers during a discussion of a tiotion to endorse the principles outlined by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the economy.

At its meeting of May 9th, Kitchener Council engaged in a debate over adopting the principles outlined in the Bishop’s Statement as the cornerstone of plans for the municipality’s priorities in the near future.

Father Norman Choate, president of St. Jerome’s College, outlined the two basic principles of the Bishop’s Statement. “First, that the rights of people are prior to the rights of maximization of profits,” said Choate. “The second principle of this document is the principle of the preferential option for the poor,” which the Statement describes as “ . . . analyzing the dominant attitudes and structures that cause human suffering, and . . . actively supporting the poor and oppressed in their struggles to reform society.” .

Choate soon came under attack, which typified the nature of the Council’s discussion of the motion.

Centre Ward Alderman Richard ChristyaskedChoate,“How do you define the economic philosophy described in this statement if you don’t agree that it is Marxist?” Choate responded that the philosophy of the document is neither “socialist” or “capitalist”, but “Christian philosophy” that was based in a long tradition of teachings in the Catholic Church, to which Christy claimed Choate was “avoiding the issue”.

Choate rejected the idea of the Roman Catholic Church or its leaders being “Marxist”, citing past statements of the Church which “rejected Marxism as a philosophy”. “If you knew any Roman Catholic Bishops personally, you would know that they’re not Marxists,” declared Choate.

Nevertheless, Forest Ward Ald. Don Travers, who was the first alderman to use the term “Marxist” in connection with the Statement, at a Kitchener committee of Council meeting a week before, maintained that many commentators in the media have referred to the Statement in the same vein. He cited a Maclean’s magazine issue (including a column by Barbara Amiel) in particular as using the term “Marxist”.

not Marxist because the newspapers said they are,” he claimed. Fairview Ward Ald. Jim Ziegler asked what the Statement

means by “encouraging local groups to discuss worker participation, co-operatives,” etc.

Choate responded that this was an encouragement “to use the institutions of business and government to function on the principles outlined.” He expanded on the concept by using the example of a Canadian company that moved its phone manufacturing operations to Indonesia. He said that the company was making a profit here, but that it thought that it could make a higher profit in Indonesia with its cheaper labour. Choate claimed that this, decision was mad.e with only the interests of “capital” in mind, ignoring the social consequences of the move (i.e. workers losing theirjobsand thespin-offeffectson the community).

Christy, however, rejected Choate’s argument, claiming that our economic problems are caused by a lack of investor confidence. “Investors are no longer willing to invest their money in this environment. . . because they are being discouraged from locating here,” said Christy.

It requires investment capital to move the economy,“claimed Christy. “That’s a historical fact.“Traversadded that“wealmost drive people away, saying we don’t want their money.”

Bridgeport-North Ward Ald. Bob Hopf objected to the statements by Travers and Christy: “What Ald. Travers was saying was that the City of Kitchener should encourage companies to come into Kitchener, and then when they are financially sound, move into countries using slave labour. . .”

Choate claimed that the Bishops’ Statement was not anattack on capitalism itself, but on “the abuses of capitalism”.

Yet, Ziegler refused to accept this argument as well. “Just because we have an 18.5 per cent unemployment rate, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there has been an abuse of capitalism,” claimed Ziegler.

Chicopee Ward Ald. Wayne Samuelson however, criticized some aldermen for their lack of compassion for those suffering economically today. In an obviously sarcastic tone of voice, Samuelson commented: “I’m sure Alderman Christy has visited the Unemployed Workers’ Centres in his ward several times.”

directly address the issue of whether the statement was“Marxist” or not, claimed that it wasn’t.

For example, he cited numerous grounds upon which the Bishop’s Statement differed from Marxist doctrine. The Statement supports the maintenance and expansion ofthesocial welfare system; Marx claimed that the social welfare system was an attempt to appease the masses and prevent economic reform. Marx advocated violent revolution; the Statement doesn’t. Marx claimed religion was the “opiate of the masses”; obviously, the Bishops’ Statement doesn’t.

When the vote was taken, Aldermen Ferguson, Hopf, Samuelson, Strickland, and Yantzi supported the motion to endorse the Bishop’s Statement, while aldermen Christy, Treavor, Ziegler, Leadstone, and Hiscott voted against it. Mayor Dom Cardillo (who has never made a secret of his Catholic faith) broke the tie by voting against the reso!ution.

Immediately after the vote was taken, Ald. Samuelson introduced a second motion along similar lines (but endorsing a narrower set of principles), which was deferred to a later meeting.

Watfund --

Multi-millic by Leo McNeil Watfund, created to maintain present

programs at a high level, is an attempt to get the community more involved at U W.

Launched March 17th, 1982, organizers expect to raise $21 million over five years through cash pledges and gifts-in-kind from various segments of the community. So far, more than $16 million has been pledged. Of that, $5.4 million has already been rebeived from supporters.

When Canada’s universities were growing rapidly during the 1970’s, much capital was raised through government funding. Most of these funds were cut off, and for U W, that occured in 1972, according to Jon Dellandrea, U W’s Director of Development and University Relations.

A commitment to receive 20 per cent of funds from alumni members orgrad uateq is being challenged. The corporate community will provide the balance of funds.

Dellandrea feels this is reasonable since some United States universities receive between 50 and 60 per cent of funds from their alumni.

The money will be used in new building construction, research equipment purchases, and academic development and enrichment. For example, the over $1.5 million student contribution is being used to build a new arena. Construction of the facility is quite visible on

._

m $ effort Columbia Street and is progressing rapidly.

In recognition of the superiority of UW computer programs, 1 B M donated/ pledged over $5.5 million in cash and equipment over the five-year period. This includes several 343- mainframe computers as well as numerous smaller units for individual use.

People donating $1,000 or more are placed on a president’s committee in recognition of their support. Ninety of the present 150 committee members are University staff and faculty members. For those companies who say they cannot donate, a change of heart usually occurs when they see what some individuals have donated.

Graduate students are also being asked to participate in Watftind. Most are only too happy to help because they want their school to remain one of the best in North America.

UW has done remarkably well despite the poor economic conditions, according to several U W officials. The most recent Watfund campaign status report revealed that the total amount received has climbed to $5,436,933.79, while $16,190,545.86 has been pledged so far in the campaign. These totals include cash and equipment donations and pledges.

Although too early in the five year plan to tell, it looks like Watfund is a success. Dellandrea’s co-ordination of U W’s efforts seems to have given UW supporters the opportunity to show just how much they care.

The man behind the funds: Jon Dellandrea by Leo McNeil The realization of a need for community

support for the University of Waterloo - UW’s specialized programs - helped spawn the idea of Watfund, according to Ion Dellandrea, the 33 year old director of development and university relations.

Dellandrea came to UW from the University of Toronto in 1980 to head the newly created fundraising office. The pos- ition was later changed to Office of De- velopment and Alumni Affairs.

A commitment to develop greater cor- porate and community relations led to the creation of a new office in 1982, that of University and Alumni Affairs, and Dellandrea is its first and only director. He

is also member ex officio of the advisory committee on university development.

Originally from North Bay, Dellandrea attended the University of Toronto where he received a masters degree in English Literature and Philosophy.

But books did not dominate his life; a middle-linebacker position with the Varsity Blues also took up some of his time. He was ultimately drafted by Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL, where he served a -- brief apprenticeship. Dellandrea said that books offered a much less violent form of lifestyle, so he pursued a safer way to earn a living.

He returned to his alma mater where he worked in various capacities for seven

years. He was assistant to the principal at the University’s Scarborough campus prior to accepting his position at U W.

Dellandrea said the “creative maverick approach” to new chalienges at U W helped attract him from the bigcityschool. This, he feels, is especially true in the co-op courses and computer sciences. Ideas were being tried at UW for the first time anywhere, he said; “A: a result, our school is among the top five in all North America in computer science courses . . . Some would even argue that U W is number one in these areas,” he added.

“The boldness with which UW officials meet challenges is a good example for other

young universities in Canada to follow,” he explained. To Dellandrea, “two or three McGills or Torontos are all Canada needs at this time. The younger universities can specialize.”

Dellandrea lives in’ Waterloo with his wife Lyne and their two sons. Lyne is an antique dealer. The Dellandreas feel that Waterloo’is an ideal place to raise a family.

Specialization, co-op programs, and correspondence courses are proving to be UW’s forte. With Dellandrea leading the University’s efforts in university and alumni affairs, it would be hard to imagine anything but more growth for UW. And Dellandrea is bound to stay for awhile; he likes being with a winner, he says.

Plutonium: a low-level presence at UW Since last September, the University of Waterloo has played

host to a few milligrams of radioactive plutonium - the highly , toxic and long-lived element formed in nuclear power reactors

during the generation of energy. (’ I The plutonium was delivered by Atomic Energy of Canada

Limited (AECL) to Dr. Hari Sharma of the chemistry department, and Dr. Robert Gillham of the earth sciences department. The professors are working on a research project in conjuction with AECL.

The project’s ultimate goal is to develop a safe way to store high-level (radioactive) waste until it is sufficiently decayed and no longer poses a threat to the environment.

AECL is currently exploring a new concept in the disposal of high-level waste. This concept involves storing the spent fuel bundles in specially designed metal containers. The containers would then be buried deepin theearth, instablerockformations, surrounded by compressed clay.

Because clay absorbs radioactive materials, it is an ideal substance to use as a barrier for retarding the movement of any of the dangerous radioactive particles. The UW scientists are

evaluating different clay samples to determine the best type to be used.

Working in the university’s radiochemistry laboratory, Gillham and Sharma are conducting various tests, using clay samples and plutonium solutions.

The researchers are testing a model simulating the conditions which might be found if radioactive waste were to leak out of its storage container.

To do this they put a small amount of plutonium in a clayplug. A second identical plug accompanies the first, and they are both kept moist with water. The experiment is monitored for months to determine how long it takes for the plutonium to work its way out of the first clay plug and into the second.

The second stage of the testing also involves a plutonium solution which is added to a clay sample and spun inacentrifuge. The researchers then determine how much plutonium has been absorbed by the clay by measuring the plutonium left in the solution.

Sharma and Gillham hope the results obtained in the simulated experiment will correspond to those obtained in the

UWfilm wins A new feature film promoting the University of

Waterloo has won professional acclaim at two major film festivals in the United States.

The eight-minute, 16 mm film, “The University of Waterloo”, was produced by Fred Gorman Films Ltd., Smith Falls. It has been awarded a silver medal at the Houston International Film Festival where it beat out more than 75 other entries. It also received a certificate of creative excellence at the U.S. Industrial Film Festival, Chicago, competing against 1 100 other entries.

The film was produced for Waterloo’s office of development and university relations. Included in the footage are scenes depicting majorareas of research on the UW campus, including the university’s extensive industrial contract research.

Fred Gorman has been filming documentaries for the past 15 years. He has worked primarily with the CBC; he has also produced films for industrial customers as well as ABC and CBS. In addition, he worked on the BBC’s 13- hour program, “The British Empire.”

centrifuge experiment. If this proves to be the case, researchers will have a quick and easy method of determining the effectiveness of a given clay sample as a barrier against the diffusion of various radioactive elements formed during nuclear reactions.

Access to the lab is limited, and strict safety precautions are in effect. The researchers never come into contact with the plutonium. Instead, they use what is called a “glove box” to perform their experiments.

A glove box is a glass-fronted metal cabinet which resembles a display case at a delicatessen. The researchers conduct all oftheir experiments inside the box, and they reach the equipment by means of long, rubber gloves which allow them to place their hands inside the box. The air pressure in the box is negative, which means air flows in, rather than out. All exhausted air is passed through three types of filters, to prevent any dangerous particles from escaping.

At the same time, the lab’s ventilation system is monitored at all times. A failure activates an alarm which brings Dr. Sharma to the lab, at any time, day or night.

Computer Camps This summer, the Univer-

sity of Waterloo’s Faculty of Arts will be running “Arts Computer Experience ‘83”, a day camp for children ages six to 13.

The aim of the camp is to help children develop an awareness of the arts and computers.

UW nmst nzake CFS decision by 1985 At some time within the next two years, it will become

necessary for students of Waterloo to make a decision regarding prospective membership in the Canadian Federation of Students. By 1985, that decision will affect the nature of Waterloo’s political and social welfare.

In 1980. three groups decided, with other provmcial organizations across the country, to join together into one unified student movement. This single unit would have three components; the Canadian Federation of Students; the Canadian Federation of Students -Services; and in the Ontario region, the Canadian Federation of Students - Ontario (CFS-0).

The movement to unify students on a national level has begun, and the phasing-out period at the provincial level is underway. The time allocation for the establishment of CFS-0 is the same as for CFS and is contingent upon two-thirds of the membership of OFS agreeing to join CFS by the year 1985.

Currentlv. the Universitv of Waterloo is a member of NUS,

The reasons for joining a national student movement may not be immediately apparent, yet there are substantial ones. Politically, a national organization has more lobbying power than would a solely provincial organization. Moreover, CFS boasts four full-time staff, working out of the Ottawa office as well as seven fieldworkers, and a new chairperson, Graham Delldall.

Critics of the Canadian Federation of Students question the new organization’s ability to fill the need for a national student movement. CFS was founded on a principle of congruency, meaning that all universities and colleges wishing to join would be required to join all three components: the political wing (CFS), the services wing (CFS-S) and the provincial wing (CFS-0). The schools who are currently members of CFS are badly divided on the question of whether or not the principle of congruency should be maintained. At the present time CFS is over $80,000 in debt and because of nine lost referenda in the last year, including the University of Toronto, the organization’s

Many member schools are also unhappy that each member is given one vote at CFS conferences. This means, for example, that Waterloo, with over 2 1 ,OOOstudents, would have the same voting strength as Nipissing University which hasless than 250full-time students.

In terms of services, CFS-S, by virtue of its student volume, can offer more reductions in, for example, charter flights.

In addition, the national body allows information sharing among regions who share common concerns.

The cost of membership in CFS amounts to seven dollars per yearperstudent-threedollarsmorethanthecurrentrate.Three dollars of the proposed fee will go to the provincial component which is, in this province, OFS/CFS-0.

If CFS should achieve its required membership, it will become the governing organization on the national level and OFS will subsequently be replaced by CFS-0 here in Ontario. And if at that time Waterloo have not yet made the move toward joining CFS-0, they will be members of nothing.

UW ombudsman Nadon to attend conference

by Karina Kraenzle Imprint staff -

In June, Waterloo Ombudsman, ‘Dean Nadon, will be attending a conference in Montreal which he helped to plan. The con- ference is entitled, Second Canadian Confer- ence qf’ College and University Ombudsmen. The conference was designed to deal with various difficulties that university ombudsmen encounter regularly. Among the guest speak- ers are university ombudsmen, legislative ombudsmen, lawyers, and newspaper editors.

Nadon is aware that few people actually know what an ombudsmandoes. Heexplained that he is essentially a liaison between the students and the University administration. Nadon’s office is next to the Fed president’s office and his is available to deal with student enquiries during regular University office hours.

appropriate departments according to their individual concerns. He assists also in informal problem-solving matters.

Nadon deals with as many as 60 individual cases a month, and for each case, he must keep an accurate record. He was hired last May with the creation of the office. As a result, he has had to organize and maintain a difficult workload. His structure is designed, according to Nadon, to “complement and supplement” the existing appeal structure.

The last ombudsman’s conference took place in 1979, and was hosted by Concordia University. The upcoming ombudsman’s conference will be held June 12th to 15th, and will also be hosted by Concordia University.

At present, Nadon is the only representative from Waterloo to attend the conference; however, anyone is welcome. The registration fee is $100 per person. Further information can be obtained from Dean Nadon, CC 235, Ext.

It is Nadon’s job to direct people to the 2402.

6 Editorial Imprint. Friday, May 20,1983

Before you go to sleep tonight, you better check under your bed. When you get dressed in the morning, you better check the back of your closet, You never know where the Marxists might be hiding.

An attack of paranoia has apparently befallen several members of the Kitchener City Council. In their haste to condemn a motion endorsing a statement of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Ethical Reflections on the Economic Crisis, they have used tactics which Senator Joseph hlccarthy would have been proud of. Some Council members claimed that the statement had “Marxist inclinations”, and that those who supported it were “Marxist” as well. The level of debate that went on at the Kitchener City Council meeting was very superficial; how can you debate a proposal that opponents label “Marxist” and then refuse to accept it as a legitimate proposal?

Anyone who could believe that this statement is “Marxist”, as both Father Norman Choate and Alderman Brian Strickland noted, either doesn’t know the first thing about the Roman Cathohc Church or the first thing about Marxism. The basic proposition - that the Church would ,endorse a philosophy that denounces religion - is certainly beyond my grasp.

The opponents of the Bishop’s Statement have generally one of two prongs of attack: (a) as spiritual leaders, Church leaders have no place in clearly “political” matters, or (b) the Bishops are proposing reforms that are simply “Marxist”.

Shortly after this statement was issued in January, the . Quebec caucus of Liberal Members of Parliament

chastized the Bishops for interfering in “political” questions. But, one has to ask, where can one draw the line between “political” and “moral” questions? For years the Roman Catholic Church has had positions on abortion, divorce, euthanasia, etc. - all of which have very real consequences in “political” terms. Yet, these positions have been accepted as legitimate areas of concern for the Church by the vast majority of citizens (whether the majority agrees or not with these positions is a separate

’ question). However, when the Bishop’s Statement on the economy (and other statements, such as the one on nuclear proliferation) was made, the Church was suddenly attacked for being “political”. How can any spiritual leader claim to be concerned~about the spiritual well-being of his/ her parishoners if he/ she ignores their economic well-being?

Of course, this is not to say that there should be a direct role for theChurch (of any denomination) in our political

proud process. It would be wrong for the Church to state that “Good Catholics should vote for Party X”, or that “The policies of Party Y are unacceptable to the Presbyterian Church”. As spiritual leaders, the Church has to remain above the day-to-day affairs of partisan politics; however, denying the Church has the right to make statements with political overtones, in effect, would restrict the Church to making statements on the Trinity, the Rosary, and what colour a church should paint its walls. The Church not only has a right, but an obligation to make moral statements on matters of concern to their followers.

The second objection to the Bishop’s Statement is equally groundless. When one peels away the charges of “Marxism”, one can see the intent of the critics.

In a letter to the Kitchener-Waterloo Record on May I5th, Jim Ziegler, a Kitchener alderman, cited one paragraph of the Bishop’s Statement, and then proceeded to quote parts of Marx’s writings that parallel this parag,raph. While initially effective, this technique has to be seen as shallow; if one wanted to, one could find passages of Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto that sound alike. The flaw in Ziegler’s logic (and of those who make similar arguments) is that he fails to take into account the entire set of principles outlined in the two documents; instead, he takes selected passages from each document and then claims that “Marx would applaud the

t Bishop’s guidelines”. Taking the argument to its extreme, one would have to conclude that, if Marx had been in favour of saving our forests, Ziegler would oppose it:, since he does not believe in “Marxism”. This argument fails to acknowledge that philosophies can overlap without being identical.

One can only conclude that, in a zeal to defend their economic philosophy, Ziegler, and several others on Kitchener City Council who made similar arguments, could not acknowledge that there is more than one philosophy that opposes their own.

Perhaps they should recognize that anyone who dares to disagree with their philosophy doesn’t necessarily have to be a Marxist.

Perhaps they live in a “black and white” world of “Marxists” and “capitalists”.

Perhaps they should wake up, and see the world is full of greys.

Waterloo awaJEe at CFS conference by Mike Ferrabee

Vice-President, University Affairs, Federation of Students

After the unanimously acclaimed fiasco in Victoria, the last time the Canadian Federation of Students/National Union of Students (CFS/NUS) held a general meeting, the recent conference of the two bodies in Saskatoon was a welcome surprise.

In Victoria more than half the business on the agenda was never dealt with, and the .National Union of Students Plenary (the decision making meeting of NUS) was never even convened.’

Since the National Union of Students is the only vehicle through which Waterloo has a voice at the national level (even though we are the eighth largest contributor to the national student movement) last year’s Feds council was naturally upset.

In Saskatoon they held both the NUS and CFS plenaries together, so we had some direct input.

President Tom Allison chaired the CFS Budget Committee at the conference and, after fifty-two hours without sleep, came up with a proposal to retire the sixty-thousand dollar debt CFS had acquired. The plan was accepted by the general membership and, provided the budget is adhered to, CFS should be in reasonable financial shape by this time next year.

A new treasurer was elected at this meeting - Waterloo grad

Brian Chadwick, now studying at Queen’s. Other contentious issues at the conference were: * Whether the Chair of CFS should be a full time position. The

decision was to have him on full time come November. * Whether National-Provincial Meetings should be held

regularly to sort out regional concerns, or not at all. It was de- cided that National-Provincial meetings can be held if two provinces agree one is necessary,

* Congruency, and whether it should be necessary for Post- Secondary Institutions to join all three components of CFS? Congruency in the end was re-affirmed but the opportunity for future discussion on the issue was not ruled out.

Fed News This summer the Federation will be hosting the Ontario

Federation of Students (OFS) Annual Geaeral Meeti~ng here on campus. The meeting will begin on June 13th, with two days of service oriented worksho.ps followed by four days of discussion of issues affecting students on the agenda. The week wiil end with a day-long plenary of OFS members on Sunday the 19th.

Bent is in the process of planning its traditional summer open air concert. It is due to take place in late June on the Village Green. More than two thousand people attended last year’s event and Bent Chair, Chuck Williams, says he is “hoping to double that figure this year.” The group has not yet been finalized but the event is certain to be an afternoon students won’t want to miss.

-Defence *better than disarmament. * To the editor: .

“The Soviet Union is not our enemy bbcause they are pointing missiles at us,- they are pointing missiles at. us because they are our enemy. ” (The Intellectual Activist,

November 15, 1982). This statement identifies the major flaw in the reasoning of the

people supporting today’s peace movement, several of whom wrote to Imprint during the Winter term. By wishing away nuclear weapons, these people are hoping that the United States and the Soviet Union can peacefully co-exist. Although a desire for peace is rational and healthy, this belief that the US and the USSR can co-exist peacefully is dangerously wrong.

The conflict between the United Statesand the-Soviet Unionis based-on ideas. The United States is the only country founded on a base of individual rights and freedom. The Soviet Union is totally opposed to such freedom, and we can easily see from the information that does trickle out from behind the Iron Curtain, and from Soviet invasions and interventions in other countries (e.g. Czechoslovakia an Afghanistan).

The stated policy of the Soviet rulers is to eradicate capitalism

from the globe. “It is inconceivable,” said Lenin, “that Communism and democracy can exist simultaneously in the world.” Thus, people who wish to be free to live their own livesare threatened by the very existence of the Soviet Union.

It is the responsibility of our armed forces to protect us from any foreign threat. As guardians of our freedom, they deserve a mandate to protect us the best way they can. As civi%ia,ns, we do not have the technical knowledge to debate the merits of particular weapons or strategies. It is our responsibility to elect representatives who will choose the best men to entrust with the protection of our country, and then allow them to use their knowledge to provide us with a strong defense.

Those of us who value our freedom are not part of a “war movement.” We wish to be free to live in peace, but we know that we can have neither peace nor freedom, if we do not have the strength or desire to defend these ideals. I appeal to those in the peace movement who honestly desire peace to take the time to see the source of the threat to our freedom and to then give your support to those who defend us. Donald Heath

Scheider saves dav in action flick by John W. Bast

Imprint staff If you’re a movie-goer at all, you won’t want to miss Blue

Thunder. This flick seems to be one of the top three of the latest harvest of the summer crop of movies. It’s got everything (and to this extent it’s a formula feature): sex, violence, ultra-soph- isticated technology, wit and humour, evil, and heroism. And not only that, the good guys win. If you need more, it even has a moral.

The plot centres around a helicopter nicknamed Blue Thunder. The Thunder, a two man para-military helicopter, is the most powerful instrument the U.S. military could develop to control terrorist activities. Ostensibly for use at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles as a defense against terrorist activities, there are hints throughout the film that this would be the machine to take back to Viet Nam. But there is a more immediate, dark purpose to the machine.

The Thunder is almost invincible. Her blue skin is inch thick armour plate. She mounts a cannon which blasts out 4,000 rounds of 20 mm shells per minute. That struck me as practically a lead “beam” or “ray” - and is used as such in the movie to slice a police car neatly in half.

Not only that, but the gun shoots where the pilot looks - the pilot’s helmet is electronically linked to the gun. She mounts other sensors which can monitor a whisper through a building’s wall; thermographic sensors which can “see” through those walls; a silencer on the motor which can allow the machine to creep as close as necessary to observe nearly any action. Not only that, but her computer is linked to every nationaldata bank accessible to her highly-placed builders - i.e., all of them. And it is that factor which leads to the darker aspects of the plot.

Police ‘copter pilot Murphy (played by Roy Scheider, perhaps best knownfor his roles in the Jaws movies, and more recently in All That Jazz), detailed from the Astro Division of the LAPD to test out Blue Thunder under city conditions, is a typical hero. Supremely competent in his job, he is still haunted by his war experiences in Viet Nam. Though something of a maverick in his department, he is still the best man there. Even though on the

J side of law and order, he (like every good Westerner nowadays) suspects his government superiors of evil intent. He remarks that he thought police helicopters were supposed to be unarmed; he is told, “That would depend on the circumstances.”

It would take a hero to resist the temptations that Blue Thunder offers. In testing the machine’out, he discovers he can satisfy practically any curiosity he has; and the power of the gun represents a great temptation. It is this power that is the crux of the movie, and it is a power that the previous pilot (and confident of the upper-echelon government forces behind Blue Thunder), Cochrane (played by Malcolm McDowell), cannot resist. He cannot let it fall into the wrong hands, i.e. the public.

Not only that, Cochrane and Murphy are old enemies from ‘Nam. There is no love lost between them, and Murphy’s eventual triumph is a triumph not only over higher forces, but also a personal victory.

Murphy finds (admittedly through a series of coincidences that are hard to credit) that there is a plot to stir up trouble in the city’s ghetto areas. That trouble would be quelled by the Thunder, thus providing the government boys with an excuse to build a fleet of such ‘copters.; (This movie has a streak of anti- government paranoia a mile wide. Whether or not that hasany validity is another question - but it is definitely a point of the movie.)

Using the powers of the Thunder, Murphy investigates this plot and (almost absurdly easily) gets a tape of a meeting where All Is Revealed. His partner hides the tape (and is later caught and tortured by the government for its location) which is later recovered by Murphy’s girlfriend and rushed to a television station where the cat is let out of the bag.

All is not as simple as that, of course - all possible force is mobilized to prevent her from getting there; but, hovering above her speeding car (yes, we get a ground chase scene as well as an aerial one) is the guardian angel, Blue Thunder, with Murphy at the controls.

Can a helicopter beat a jet armed with heat-seeking missiles? It seems unlikely. But the climax of this movie concerns that eventuality. It must be admitted that, technology aside, circumstances were on the Thunder’s side. Jets must be at a

disadvantage when trying to pin a helicopter that can hide behind skyscrapers (that the jets would prefer not to destroy). Given an open environment, the ‘copter would have little or no chance, no matter how much technology was packed into it. Nevertheless, beat the jets Murphy does - but he still has to face his personal enemy, Cochrane, who attacks him with a war- copter.

At this unfortunate moment, the conflict becomes very personal as the high-tech gun Thunder mounts jams up and it becomes a flying contest between two superb pilots (guess who wins).

If the main point of the movie is that the government is not to be trusted, the point immediately following that is that+ the - government is armed with weapons that make them very untrustworthy. The movie makes a point of saying, at the very start, that all technologies portrayed here are not only in existence, but in use.

The gun is not science fiction. The Bell Cobra can do 4,000 rounds per minute; the surveillance systems come from Target Acquisition and Designation Sight (TADS) combined with Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVR). This, according to Hughes Aerospace, provides the crew, through integrated helmet and display sight systems, with a real-time thermal imagery of terrain which permits combat operations in total darkness. The computerized data bank system on the Thunder can not only be installed on ‘copters, but on any form of air or ground equipment.

While a lot of the Thunder’s equipment was “dress-up” - apparently the film makers thought the public wouldn’t believe SO much high-tech stuff without some outward appearance of it - it seems all too likely that the film’s claim is’true: this ship is possible.

But when all is said and done, it is human heroism that saves the day. All the high technology in the world can’t make men good or evil: it only provides weapons for either side. This movie is a cautionary tale with a quite simple moral: “all that evil needs to flourish is that good men do nothing.”

Blue Peter Don’t Walk Past (EP)

Ready Records

It’s a sad state of affairs, but blatant commercialism iscreeping into’the music world again. Punk rock and new wave gave us a brief respite from the money-hungry musicians who had no formula to follow, but now the new music has been tried and tested and they know how to produce songs that sell again.

Remember the disco era? It’s death was due in a large part to the purely commercial songs flooding the market. Small groups with little or no musical talent had great success with songs that followed the formula, but not the spirit, of past successes by other groups. As a result, groups abounding with talent and creativity that needed time to find themselves and channel and harness that talent got lost.

The new music industry seems bent on self destruction, too. GroupslikeBerlin(USA)arestartingtoemergewithmusic that is nothing more than formula music. New music fans are encouraged to beware. Supporting such groups can only result in the death of new music, and the loss of talented groups on their way up. Groups like Blue Peter.

With their fifth album, Falling, coming out the first week of June, Blue Peter have already proven themselves as a talented, and popular, new music group. The Toronto-based band has developed a reputation as a major draw in Ontario nightclubs,

andIf their EP, Don’t Walk Past, is any indication of the quality of Falling, that reputation will only grow.

The key to the band’s success to date has been the vocals of Paul Humphrey. A ‘pure’ singer, Humphrey brought Blue Peter notoriety and gave them their start. But vocals aren’t enough; Blue Peter needs artistry as well. After years of shifting personnel, they may just have found the right combination.

Don’t Walk Past is as clear an indication of what the band is capable of as anything. Owen Tennyson provides a rich, dynamic backbeat that is more than the traditional set beat pattern many bands have fallen to. His drumming is imaginative and creative, yet doesn’t try to take over the music. Rick Joudrey compliments Tennyson with his bass guitar work, and furthers the music’s depth and solidness.

Jason Sniderman on keyboards and Simmons, and Chris Wardman on lead guitar and tapes, work around, and with, the vocals, bass, and drums, and the resulting sound is not only energized, but fluid. It is not easy to mix the sound from four dynamic musicians with a vocalist (with Leslie Howitt providing backing vocals) to arrive at music as exciting and tight as Walk on Past.

Which is where Steve Nye comes in. Nye, of course,is known for his work with XTC, Japan, Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Peter Townshend, and Rupert Hine. As a music producer, he ranks in the top five in the world, and some people place him right at the top of that theoretical list. With Nye as the producer of Falling and Walk,on Past, Blue Peter could hardly go wrong,

but a lot of the credit for their improvement goes to themselves. They worked very hard on the band, and took a long hard look at themselves before making changes.

Sniderman and’ Tennyson were not added to Blue Peter haphazardly. They have brought to the band more than just a new keyboardist and a new drummer. Walk on Past and Falling are more mature, more personal, and more full- sounding than previous Blue Peter works.

Solid musicianship, the addition of two members, and the already proven vocals of Humphrey gave Nye something to work with. And he was equal to the task.

Nye said that he was “impressed by the band’s overall sound and Paul Humphrey’s distinctive vocals” when he first heard their demo tape in London less thana yearago. After working on Falling and Walk on Past, Nye was, “Happy with the album. They’ve come on a lot since their last album, and they’ve got a much fuller sound. It (Falling) sounds really good.”

Blue Peter has always been an energetic new wave pop band with a distinctive vocalist, but now they are more than that. Walk on Past is an excellent EP, and effortslike that leave hope and anticipation for the release of Falling.

Blue Peter will be performing at the Waterloo Motor Inn on May 26th. Included in the show will be old favorites, such as Up to You, and cuts from their widely-acclaimed Radio Silence LP, but the highlights of the night will undoubtedly be samplings of Falling.

Ticket information is available in the Fed office, Campus Centre room 235.

Bruce Cockburn discusses C by Nathan Rudyk

Imprint staff ” We asked, what did you flee from? And we heard what they fled from. We heard stories that made me not know whether to cry, or puke, or both . . . The indignity of it makes menot want togo into too much detail, but Iwant to give one examplejust so you know what Iin talkingabout.

It’s the case of a man who was in afarm co-op (his crime), and was arrested along with his family, which included a couple of little kids and his pregnant wife. He was beheaded in front of his wif4. She was cut open and the

fetus removed and his head wasput in itsplace. Of course she died, but not right away. I heard worse.”

It was an evening of severalembarrassing, even horrifying silences. It was also an evening of song, and of hope. Bruce Cockburn’s visit to our campus on the evening of May 5th with OXFAM Canada gave the 400 people who packed Seigfried Hall at St. Jerome’s College the unexpected reality of the problems, passion, and plunder of Central America.

OXFAM, as part of its goal of publicizing the social injustice of the region and protecting the people from these injustices, recently sponsored Cockburn on a 17 day tour of the grim Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico, and the blossoming revolutionary society of Nicaragua. Cockburn came back with nightmare truths and halfhatched hope. He also came back with a cynicism for the counterproductive U.S. involvement, and the Canadian non- involvement in Central America. In the three hour lecture-film-song- slide presentation, and later in a personal interview with Imprint and CK MS, the ignorant learned the “bald facts” and the learned had their worst fears confirmed.

In 1950, 13 per cent of the democracies in Central America had military regimes. In 1980, 56 per cent of those same democracies were ruled by oppressive leaderships; leaderships often backed by US arms

and military intelligence. For instance, Guatemala, where 80 per cent of the people suffer from malnutrition and whole villages are routinely slaughtered, is receiving the moral a’nd material blessing of the US, while Nicaragua (whose revolutionary Sandi-nistaent is tryingto install positive social reforms) is subject to US economic sanctions.

Cockburn described the Nicaraguan society that the Reagan administration is trying to undermine. “There’s something very precious going on there. There’s an experiment at a kind of social order that maybe wouldn’t work for us here, but it looks very workable in that context, and maybe a kind of future model for a lot of third world situations if it’s not stopped. And if it’s not driven too far into the Soviet camp by the actions of our big brother to the South, and by our own complicity.”

“It was not a case - which I had expected - of them being a government of intellectuals. The majority of people were very aware of government policies and very aware of their own voice in things.”

Cockburn told about a television program, broadcast each week in Nicaragua, in which members of the government go into small communities around the country and discuss problems with the locals. “So if anyone’s got complaints to air, that’s when they come but. It’s like the real version of Question Period.”

“There’s no doubt in my mind, or in the minds ofanybody I’ve talked to who’ve been in that country, that the government is ruling with the best intentions for the people, and certainly for the majority of the people. What more can you ask of a government than that?”

In marked contrast to his positive views of Nicaragua were Cockburn’s stark reflections about the conditions of life in the two refugee camps he visited on the border between Guatamala and Mexico. He described a terrorised people whose only ambitions are to survive until the next day.

Said Cockburn, “Nothing that I’d read, and nothing I’d seen on TV, or had ever been able to think about prepared me for the sensation of staying in a refugee camp among people who have suffered as these people have, and are continuing to.”

“I was embarrassed because - here 1 was - 1 and they didn’t. I knew, sooner or later, we’d gel shared in common with them was the fear of th which periodically comes across the border and r

After recounting how the inhabitants of the refl airstrips, storage buildings and hospitals “b,ith machetes”, Cockburn explained that there is r buildings. “They had nothing to put into the sb’str up. No food, no medicine. We brought a couple c medicine in suitcases. That was all the medicine t h

Despite the deprivation, the people had prese “They prepared to give us food from the little bit t hi camp. That supply consisted of enough cornflour day per person. If you don’t know Mexican food, of three pieces of toast per day. They had a tremen that deprivation.”

On the subject of Canada’s foreign policy stance Cockburn recited the story of his debriefing wit after his trip.

It’s nice to have -just on a personal level - it’s nice to have this other chance to talk with people about something other than myself, or about the music. You can only talk about that so much in interviews. So it’s beeh nice to talk about Central America for instance, just from that point ofview alone - let alone the need to get the word out to people. It does kind of add to the work load though. Imprint: What does your record company think about what you’re doing? Have they any comment? Cockburn: Urn, they’re hoping it will sell records, and it’s too early to tell with the album whether it has any effect one way or another on that.

I have a very fortunate and special arrangement with the whole music business through my manager, who also owns the record company I record for. Because we’ve worked together for a long time and because we have a very, kind of, informal relationship, I don’t get encroached on by the business the way a lot of other people do. So, as an issue, this kind of thing isn’t really a problem. Imprint: What about the climate for your sort of involveme& - your political involvement? You were talking about Central America where there is almost a marriage between culture and politics, and that it’s avery natural thing, and my sense is that here it’s not, and that th#erefore what you’re doing is very special, and also very unusual, and that it’s a pity . . . Cockburn: That it’s unusual, yes. It’s not without its precedents. I don’t see myself as tihe only guy doing this. Peter Gabriel and the Clash are two very obviouscases in point - $0, know, people who have an obvious social constiience that shows in their music. And of course there’s a lot of other too, those are just two names that come to mind.

It’s true that’s not the prevailing attitude. Imprint: You are fairly established though. I’m thinking of a young artist - because in Central America it really is

a ground level sort of thing - wanting to go out and write political songs right now. Could he or she make a living at it? Cockburn: Probably not, not only doing that. I think it’s as much a mistake - although perhaps a more useful mistake - it’s as much of a mistake to think you have to only write political songs as it is to think that you can’t write political songs. Imprint: Right, it’s not the marriage. Cockburn: Yes, the point is, art is supposed to be about life in all its aspects - in my mind anyway -and I think one of the problems that led to peoplestanding back from the political thing was the tendency for some of the less creative writers in the protest music scene in the 60’s - well, you know, they kind of drove everybody nuts ranting about things. It became such a trendy thing that people got fed up with it. And of course, it was fairly skin deep anyway, because most people in this culture would rather - well, in any,culture . . .

The Central American people are not into politics because they like being in politics. It’s because there are terrible things beingdone to themand they know why and know what they have to do about it.

It never really struck me before I was in the refugee camps what politics is, because for me growing up it was sort of these guys in suits that make stupid speeches and, you know, they all say more or less the same thing, or different shades of the same thing. And you go and vote, or not, and whether you do nor not doesn’t make much difference to anything.

But, there, seeing the situation with the refugees, you see people who have no politics. I mean, they have no political venue or avenue of expression, and they’ve been terribly exploited and treated the worst way people can be treated, and you see a,t that point, it becomes very clear what the political process is all about and what a monstrosity it is for us to take it for granted the way we do. And I’m certainly as guilty of it as anybody else.

The current situation in Poland maybe is a good case in point as to how close any of us in the developed world are to that same kind of difficulty, and the only thing that keeps us from that is our own involvement in government to whatever degree we can. CKMS: Do you think the answers lie in the political approach? What I mean is that, thediseaseoftheplanet is a symptom and perhaps the cause is a spiritual one. Cockburn: I think that’s a very important point. I think we have to, temper our expectations - both our expectations and our doubts in terms of political action, or any kind of action in the material world with an awareness that there is something fallen about peopleand about nature, and the rest of it.

In the case of Nicaragua for instance, it would be a terrible mistake to think that because there is a Christian element in government, and because there is that sort of blend of Christianity and Marxism, that we’re going to see anything perfect. You know, we’re not. But it doesn’t take away the need to try to get things going. Again, for me it comes back down to love all the time. If you love people you have to want the best for them, whatever that is.

I think one of the things that happened here, in North America in the sixties, is that towards the end of the sixties people got disillusioned because they’d expected too much from themselves, and from the kind of ideals that they had adopted during that period. When nothing panned out that they could see-people got disillusioned and they went back to their former kind of conservative approach to things.

And yet, when we were going conservative, or at least, taking a big step backward from it all, that tremendous energy and current that was so prevalent during the sixties spread out through the world. I don’t think the MIDEAN conference would have taken place without the ethos of the sixties, without the public stance of so many people. And I don’t think a lot of the revolutionary movements in Latin America would be where they are without the MIDEAN conference. So, it all comes back around, and the only thing wrong with us in the sixties was the naivety of it all - the sort of shallow belief in ourselves without ieally taking a look at what it was we were believing in.

So you’ve got to keep that edge of realism on things, but at the same time, because we know there is that spiritual side to things and we know there’s a God who loves us and who also wants the best for us, we have that source of hope, as well. Imprint: You expressed a lot of disfavour, or disgust -- I don’t know if it was you or the whole prese,?tation - about the U.S. involvement in Central America. And then you focussed in on Canada. Do you think it’s realistic to expect the US and toexpect Canadato takean active interest for the people? I’ve spent the last couple of days researching Central America and everything I’ve read is very clinical, and very academic, and didn’t deal with the immediacy of the situation as you did tonight.

The Cockburn lecture at St. Jeromes took local OXFAM people one month to organize. It was only one of the ways OXFAM is trying to socially liberate Central Americans.

In Nicaragua and the Mexican refugee camps, OXFAM is involved in promoting literacy, cottage industries, and general life skills, as well as documenting the atrocities committed against the peoples ofcentral America. OXFAM needs support. If you want to help them, contact Professor Michael Ballin, Chairman of the local OXFAM committee. He can be reached at WLU at 884-1970 or at home at 886-0036.

say downstairs - because it’s just a no-win situation, and the United States is outnumbered. It can never dominate the world the way Reagan wants it td, and it can never be - you know, you just can’t keep that kind of situation going indefinitely. So all it does is prolong the agony. What people should be working on is some way to ease the situation - to spread things around moreevenly, but it doesn’t happen of course. Imprint: Do the people of Guatemala that you met, for instance the refugees, have a sense of what they want‘? Because it seems, with what we learned about Nicaragua tonight, that things are happening there, and going quite well when people are left to their own devices, and when people are in control of their own destiny. Do they (the refugees) have a sense of destiny, or has that sense been shattered by constant terrorism? Cockburn: I think that the sense of destiny, is not so much a case of having it anymore as it is that it’s never been able to develop really, unless you have a situation like in Nicaragua where you have something very militant and concrete to focus it around.

For most of the people that I talked to, the refugees for instance, their desire was to go back to their land and be able to farm in peace. But they were also very aware of the fact that their plots of land were too small for them to grow enough food for themselves, and they wereaware of why that was the case - becausevarious powerful people own all the rest of the lan<. They were very politically inclined, and not for no reason.

They had radios. Now, as of the last couple of decades, they have access to information that they never had before. Which is one of the reasons why the clock will ne;er be turned back. Unless the government in those countries somehow manage to ban radios, or whateyer - which isn’t too likely.

For those who missed Cockburn’s visit, or who would like more information about Nicaragua, the film Target Nicar- agua is being shown by WPIRG on June 27, at npon in CC I 13. This newly-released film focuses on recent develop- ments in Nicaragua, and especially on the role of the United States in the area.

I mean, we sat there in the refugee camp, or at least in the Mexican village that was beside one of the refugee camps, listening to Radio Cuba playing protest music, and, you know, playing great music. At five o’clock in the morning they’re pumping it out all over the Gulf of Mexico, and whether you like what they’re saying or not, and they’re not saying anything terrible - they’re not saying anything that the Canadian government would shut down anyone here for. But, it’s got a whole different significance there beause they’re talking to, the people that are deprived. Not to give the Cubans more than their dueeither-they’venotdoneaterriblygoodjobofthings there.

It’s just that capitalism doesn’t have a future in Latin America. At least, it doesn’t have a future apart from the current kind of viciousness that’s associated with it. As soon as you take the repression away, it’s going to be replaced with something else. It’s only that kind of repression that keeps capitalism in place. In a way, I suppose, that means Reagan is right. The American way of life is threatened. But the American way of life as lived by Latin Americans is not the same. So, the change will come. Imprint: Are you planning any other trips similar to this one? Cockburn: Well, I’m not planning anything directly right now, but I’d sure be interested - especially inter- ested - in getting to know more about Latin America.

I guess because I’d been looking at the same sort of press the rest of you have been reading. You sort of look at it and say, “well, I don’t want to go there.” It’s like, you just imagine this horrible situation with streets full of heavies and a lot of people suffering.

But, I was completely charmed with the people in Mexico City, fqr instance, and a lot of people I met, and completely charmed with Nicaragua. So, I’d really like to - now it has a human face on it yo-u can see it apart from the - as I now know - distorted reporting of their political scene. Imprint: It sounds as though we should send our politicians down on a bus. It sounds like that’s the way it should be. Cockburn: Well, it’s interesting, because Lloyd Ax- worthy was in the refugee camps in January, and he, in marked contrast to MacEachen, seemed to have a real personal commitment to try to do something for the people in Central America. He had a bit of a’- sort of a Polyanna attitude toward it. I think he had ideas which wer’e not in themselves bad, but were morelike the kind of thing that should come later.

For ihstance, negotiating w-ith the government of El Salvador to release their political prisoners to Canada so that they could be repatriated, or resettled here. It’sanice idea, insofar as it goes, but at least he’s looking for something, and he had people going down into the Mexican camps so they could see for themselves. And he was very receptive about the information we had to give him about the Mexican government’s political stance with regard to the camps, which is very complicated.

There’s sort of a lot of national pride tied up in that whole scene that has to be handled very delicately. Imprint: As far as taking care of their own? Cockburn: As far as other people coming in and telling them what to do, and also there’s a sort of traditional rivalry between the church and the Mexican government since their own revolution. And of course, the character of the church has changed.‘$ery drastically in the last few years. But that sort of tension between the two institutions is still there, so, that causes some problems.

The Mexican government set up an agency called COMAR, which exists to deal with the refugees. But, there’s such a distance in every way between bureaucrauts in Mexico City and workers in the field.

The actual guys that were in - although they were replaced while we were in Mexico - but the peple COMAR had working for them in the camps were doing things like hoarding all the food themselves. And there’d be like a warehouse full of edible matter and none of it was being given to the refugees. And we heard terrible stories of abuses, and it’s just that theri: they were sitting on this food while people were literally dying in front of them of starvation. But this was just a few individuals who were playing their.own power games with the situation, and they were dumped, to the credit of the COMAR organization. But what is now the situation, I don’t know . . . what replaced them?

One of the ways government can help is to, kind of - not to put pressure on Mexico but somehow, to explore avenues by which aid can get through and Mexico doesn’t have to lose face. I guess most Latin American peopleare pretty sensitive about that sort of thing. And one of the obvious ways - it seemed to me anyway- was to go through the non-governmental organizations, like OXFAM, and others who work through the church, or indigenous agencies in Mexico so there’s no sense of people coming in from outside of Mexico and ordering people around. And the government doesn’t have to take the responsibility for whatever untoward things may occur. But it remains to be seen what will happen there.

What Monty Python’s Meaning of Life lacks in coherence, it more than makes up for in content. And in that content, one finds the best sampling of “a bit of everything” that I have seen. Social commentary, sex, slapstick, and a blatant attempt to gross out the world are all included in the movie. Andthe songs are wonderful - possibly the best I have heard from the Python

c gang. There is what appears to be a totally new use of the theatre “short”. And of course, there are the fish . . .

The movie is a series of almost totally unconnected episodes. The overriding theme, “the meaning of life”, does not obtrude into most sketches, though there are obvious exceptions. Sometimes it is worked in at a seemingly random point in the sketch; one of the most effective songs in the show appears this way.

High Points: Two marvellously cutting social commentary scenes - one about the Catholic Church’s stand on contraception; another about modern hospital practice at births.

Hurnourous Dr.

A workingman enters his home. There are children everywhere. Big ones, little ones, thin ones, fat ones, ugly ones, pretty ones. Kids, kids, kids. The man calls his family together

by John W. Bast Imprint staff

“I’m going to rip off your head and shit down your neck!” This line, shouted by Dan Aykroyd as Dr. Detroit -an upbeat

and streamlined Dr. Strangelove - pretty much defines the film, Dr. Detroit. If you enjoyed The Blues Brothers, or for that matter, the Saturday Night Live routines that Aykroyd and the late John Belushi were famous for, you’ll like Detroit which is, perhaps, even funnier.

As Aykroyd’s first effort to stand without Belushi, it succeeds very well. However, one could see he missed the other comedian to play off-every now and then Aykroyd’s character went just a little schizophrenic, trading. lines back and forth with himself. This is especially apparent in the way the film is structured - there are no particularly funny characters in the film besides Aykroyd. All the big laughs centre on him.

and announces, “I’m sorry, I can’t afford to keep you any longer. You’re all going to have to be sold for scientific experimentation . . . all because the Pope says I can’t wear a little bit of plastic over my cock.” The children break into a song and dance, Every Sperm is Sacred, reminiscent of production numbers from An& or Oliver - a fine satire.

Or: .a woman about to give%irth is wheeled towards the operating room. She is in obvious painand distress. Bang! Bang! Bang! as the end of the table, where her head is, slams open the hospital doors.

Into the operating room is wheeled every conceivable form of medical equipment, including, as John Cleese so eloquently puts it, “The machine that goes BEEP” - after all, the hospital director is coming in to observe. Use the equipment or he may decide it isn’t necessary and cut the budget. . .

Low Points: a scene included for its obvious ability to gross people out. The Mister CreosoteScene. (Icapitalize it becauseit is going to be remembered as the most tasteless, nausea- inspiring thing the Python people have produced so far.)

I hope they don’t try and outdo themselves. Mr. Creosote is big. Very big. He’s about as round as he is tall.

His pants could be a tent in the low rent districts of Puerto Rico. His first words ? “Get me a pail . . . I’m going to throw up.”

This is the greatest understatement in the world. He does. All over.

It was horrible. The squeamish are advised to cover their eyes. I nearly did. For a day or two afterwards, I found myself avoiding thinking of it.

Most creative point: use of the short. The short, of course, is that creative bit of garbage (usually made by the NFB) that goes on before the movie so you have time to buy some popcorn at exploitive prices. The short for Meaning of Life was a moderately funny piece by the Python people. I thought it was merely something they’d done up for some other occasion, and the theatre had tacked it on out of some Pavlovian instinct: Python Movie - Python Short. And it was neat and entertaining.

I didn’t expect it to show up in the movie . . . in fact, of course, the movie had begun ten minutes before we thought it had. Too bad for people who buy popcorn at exploitive prices.

This movie is probably not going to be fodder for the people who like to recite Python lines at parties because much of it depends upon visual humour; and you’ll never remember the songs. So if you want to remember it, watch for the inevitable Python album; or pick up the book that they’vealreadyreleased.

I think the social commentary sections of the movieare worth remembering, and even if you find the movie worth not recalling, you will probably find it funny. However, if you don’t like Python now, don’t bother going. The Python people have developed their own distinct style, Meaning of Life is very much in this style, and if you don’t like that you won’t like the picture.

Especially the fish.

.l‘here is not a lot to tell, plotwise. A poor college professor has

Detroit is fun a series of misadventures, to cope with which, he has to turn himself into somethingelse. If there is any meaning to be found in this film, it is Aykroyd’s character finding that there is more to life than just the ultra-conservative and there is a place for the wild and hairy.

Aykroyd is seduced into taking care of a bevy of call-girls. His enemy is “Mom”, a hefty rival entrepreneur. Unable to deal with her as a college tye, he becomes “The Doctor”.

So much of this movie is visual humour and witty response that it almost can’t be talked about - it should be experienced. Coarse language is used in the film (not that that should worry University studentsband if you’re after skin, there’s abit of that, too. But the main attraction is Aykroyd.

While this movie may not be the biggest comedy hit this summer, it will certainly be in the running. Have fun with it.

Music for the Hard of Thinking Doug and the Slugs

RCA

Music writers have been having problems writing about Doug and the Slugs since they first burst on to the scene with their Cognac and Bologna album three years ago. Their latest release, Music for the Hard of Thinking, is no easier.

A Vancouver-based band, Doug and the Slugs have a sound all their own - a sound that simply won’t fit into traditional classifications. Basically, Doug and the Slugs are a rock band with a heavy R&B influence. Light reggae licks find their way into Slug tunes, and now, on Music for the Hard of Thinking, soft new wave beats give an added dimension to their sound.

Basically, Doug and Slugs’ latest album is a fun album. Synthesizer accompaniment and light new wave beats included on the album are only the warmer, more friendly aspects of the music form, and are never overbearing. They simply add another dimension to the innovative, yet traditionally-based music that

The Slugs (the music part) are technically excellent musicians with a creative flair that doesn’t surpass the listeners’abilities to under- stand what has been created. Doug Bennett (the Doug part) is a very intelligent man who also happens to be very witty. This is a poten- tially dangerous combination, and the listener is advised to keep on his/her toes. Music for the Hard of Thinking has its lighter moments, but it also has its serious tracks. Bennett has left it up to the listener to decide which are which. (Note: You’ll have tolisten to the ‘words carefully, since he doesn’t sing differently when his tongue is in his cheek.)

the Slugs are known for. The rock aspect keeps the album exciting, the R&B gives it substance and listenability, the light reggae keeps it moving, and the new wave gives it added liveliness.

The first listen to Music for the Hard of Thinking gets your toes tapping, but by the end of it your whole body is trying to get into the act. By the second listening, the album is a friend and you can start having some fun with it.

Songs like Operator and She’s Looking at fie lyrically take a light-hearted poke at the ‘in’ crowd, and ballads like St. Laurent Summer are beautiful creations that develop an atmosphere that takes you out of your living- room and into a past, similar situation.

When the Doorbell Rings and Making It Work are also fun songs, but there are philosophical messages contained. In typical Doug Bennett style, they are songs first and messages second. A listener not into philosophical relation can sit back and listen to the music without losing much. But if you want more, its definitely there for the having.

Bennett’s apparent flippant and cavalier approach to music is entertaining, and gives Doug and the Slugs an aura of fun in an industry that seems to have forgotten that fun (not clothes, noise, or drugs) is what it is all about. Bennett does not take the band as lightly as he would have you believe, however.

Bennett refers to himself as a ‘low-centre of gravity type’, and doesn’t fit any stereotypes of the rock star - either in attitude, physique,or voice. 1 find this a welcome and challenging change from those who have found it so necessary to fit the mold that they lose them- selves in it to the extent that they become their imitation. Bennett has a different outlook, and as he sings in Take it or Leaue it (easily the album’s best cut) “. . . that’s my attitude, take it or leave it”.

He knows they are fast becoming a growing concern in Canada and parts of the U.S., and he is cleverly using both his assets and his negative components to the band’s advantage.

Their mixture of fun, listenability, and artistic creativity should soon make Doug and the Slugs the biggest and most successful1 Canadian band. Already in demand nation- wide, they are determinedly sticking to playing their own music, their way. And people like it.

Music for the Hard of Thinking has them right on schedule. They have now had three successful albums - each a little more

successful and each recruiting new fans-and no two have been the same. What is in store next, sound-wise, is anybody’s guess, but within the next year I’m sure we’ll be listening to another Doug and the Slugs creation.

The way I see it, you can either go out and buy Music for the Hard of Thinking, or wait for the next one. Problem is, once you get a Doug and the Slugs album and decide you like it, you’ll have a lot of catching up to do.

There are now three excellent Doug and the Slugs albums to choose from. Go out and buy one. Trust me.

Bet you can’t buy just one!

Available only as a British import on the Y record label, the 12 in. EP version features six minutes of ‘let yourself get loose’ music. ’

Do you need a great dance tune that doesn’t have any degrading, immoral, religious, sexist or backward messages on it - in fact, no words at all? Then get Papa’s Got a Brand New Pigbag. This song has very fast drumming for a steady beat, powerful bass and infectious use of horns.

The B side is 7:30 Dub Mix version of Orangutango from their Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive LP. This song is another foot mover with no vocals.

If you find that Pigbag is not for you, I would recommend the top ten on AM radio.

Peoplealwavsask,whodotheysoundlike(a 1 question I dislike), b’ut if I must think in those terms, the only group that comes to mind is UB-40 (good solid backbeat with dynamic use ot horns).

Home Game Paul Quarrington

Doubleday

Home Game is not a book for English majors. It will probably not be remembered as a classic, nor will it receive rave reviews for its social importance. And yet, 1 enjoyed every page of Home Game and could easily read it again and get the same enjoyment out of it.

Paul Quarrington, the book’s author, is more than a writer. He lives in Toronto, where he writes and plays music. His bass guitar prowess gave him first claim to fame when he played with Joe Hall and the Continental Drift - a slightly off-beat rock band. The son of two psychologists, Quarrington has written one previous novel, The Service, and one play, The Second.

The 30 year old author has a rare gift for mixing humour with compassion, making his characters both human and humourous. And making the characters in Home Game human is no small feat.

In a nutshell, Home Game is about a baseball game; the events leading up to it, the game itself, and the aftermath. It is not, however, a baseball game as we are used to seeing it played. Gone are the flashy, tight uniforms. Nowhere to be seen are the jocks, the tobacco-chewing managers and the litters of pin-striped officials.

This baseball game, the home game if you will, features two teams as opposite asany two could be. Tekel Ambrose, “arguably the best baseball player in the world”, leads the highly favoured House of Jonah (an extreme offshoot of the Hutterites who do nothing but work; do not eat meat, and do not shave - which explains the waist length beards) against the underdog Exhibition of Eccentricities (a travelling ‘freak’ show who had become trapped in Burton’s Harbour, Michigan - the home of the House of Jonah) led by Nathanael ‘Crybaby’ Isbister. Isbister is also “arguably the best baseball player in the world”.

The story is narrated by Quarrington’s grandfather, although the grandfather, affectionately referred to by Quarrington as “the old geezer”, is also a character in the story. Parenthal asides and presumed dialogue between the narrator and the writer often interrupt the book, but the dialogue is light and amusing and thus not an offending

interruption. The grandfather could be anybody’s (though I hope not) and Quarrington’s parenthal asides bring much lightness to the telling of the tale, as most of them warn the reader about his dubious writing abilities.

On the contrary, Quarrington’s writing abilities are significant, although untraditional. The characters that he has created are fantasy, and yet he brings to them reality and human qualities and compassion like few can. He has created a funny, moving novel that convinces the reader that the book is absurd, while at the same time convincing the same reader that it is a book of compassion and humanity.

The dilemma develops quite easily. The notion of the various members of the ‘freak’ show playing baseball when some of them can’t even walk is absurd. So too, is the notion that men with beards to their waists can play baseball against professional teams, and win, while wearing full-length frocks.

At the same. time, the human qualities he attributes to the ‘freaks’, and the way he manipulates the reader’s view of their development through the course of the book indicates that there is more to Home Game than asimple baseballgame. In fact, thisis not a book for sports fans. This is a book for people fans.

Through the course of. training for and playing the baseball game, each ‘freak’ learns some things about himself, and all the ‘freaks’ learn some things about being people. Through the telling of the tale, the reader is encouraged to look through the eyes of the ‘freaks’ - at least those of them that have two eyes. The view is not a nasty one; neither is it pretty, but at least it is there. Not many people have the opportunity to look through another’s eyes, and for making the reader do that (among other I things), Quarrington’s book is a success.

I

Horn&Game is not a book for sports fans, English majors, literary scholars, or construction workers. In fact, it is not a book that any group should like. But they will. It is primarily a book about people and human compassion, but above ali it is a funny and light story. Not a side-splitting comedy, mind; but light and humourous. For people who like people, Home Game is a must. Just remember, however, it’s not a formula book. Paul Quarrington breaks a few literary rules, but after you’ve read it, you won’t care. Trust me.

UW hosts gymnastic meet

Columbia Ice almost .done

Great saves, like this one by Peter Crouse against McMaster, will now be happeningastone’s throwawayfromthe Villagesat the Co!umbia Icefield. I ~-

by Donald Duench Imprint staff ,

Only four months now remain before the completion and opening of U W’s second athletic facility, the Columbia Icefield.

The $1.5 million arena, situatqd on the North Campus, con- tains a regulation (200 feet by 85 feet) ice surface, and a jogger’s track. Pull-out stands, such as those in the PAC, will beavailable for about 400 spectators’. If the need arises, the structure can be expanded into a multi-sport facility.

Financial support for the project was assured inFebruary of 1982 when students voted almost two to one to play a “Recreational Facilities” fee. The compulsory fee is five dollars per term, to be doubled when construction is completed.

A “Name the Arena” contest was held in October. Over a hundred entries were received, and narrowed down to two: the Don Hayes Arena, and Columbia Icefield. Either name would have been appropriate, making the decision a tough one for the Arena Committee. According to Director of Athletics, Carl Totzke, “it’s a catchy name that appeals to a lot of people.”

Companies with names they hope will be catchy may be connected with the new arena’s scoreboard. Although thedetails are not yet finalized, the Athletic Department is negotiating to obtain a corporate sponsor, in the interests of saving on con- struction costs.

The last Warrior home hockey game to be played at Waterloo Arena, where the Warriors had been playing, was a 12-5 loss to Windsor in February, to end the black and gold’s season at 2 wins, 21 losses, and a tie. With a new, on-campus location in which to place their 1973 CIAU banner, Waterloo coach Jack Birch predicts that his team will “take off’. * He’s got good reason to be optimistic. The Icefield is in a very

convenient and visible location for students in residence. As well, it can play host to high school tournaments, similar to the ones now conducted in men’s and women’s basketball at the PAC, to expose good players to hockey at Waterloo.

It’s been fifteen years since we’ve had a new athletic facility. Let’s hope the Columbia Icefield serves us well.

SporTrivia: Horton wore

7

number seven by Donald Duench

Imprint staff C’mon sports fans. Joe Lundregen was really saddened

that hardly anyone remembered him as the person to wear No. 2 for Toronto before Ian Turnbuli. (Tim Horton, a popular choice, wore 7 on his back.) The rest of the May 6th answers are as follows:

2. Ron Lancaster, who played professionally with the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Saskatchewan Rough- riders, spent his university days at Wittenburg University, in Springfield, Ohio.

3. Previous to moving to St. Louis, the pigskin Cardinals made their home in Chicago.

4. Other N HL franchises in Montreal were the Wanderers (1917-19) and the Maroons (1925-38).

5. Tony Esposito had been with thecanadians, sharing the net with Rogie Vachon, before playing for Chicago.

6. The first WHA scoring leader was Andre Lacroix. 7. Ex-Bruins who turned Philadelphia Blazers were

Johnny MacKenzie and Derek Sanderson. 8. With the World championships taking place a month

ago, it was hard to miss the Trail Smoke Eaters as the last Canadian champs in 196 1.

9. Sam Snead, the great golfer that he was, couldn’t win the U.S. Open.

10. The Golden Jet, Bobby Hull, was the only player on the 1976 version of Team Canada.

As mentioned two weeks ago, this column isn’t going to forget about CIAU sporting events. To that end, four questions are based on the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union in this version of SporTrivia.

1. Who scored the first USFL points? 2. In Paul Van Oorschot’s first year with the basketball

Warriors, No. 44 was being worn by another player. What number did “Van 0” wear that season?

3; Who was the last-player.to win the Art Ross trophy (most points, season) before Wayne Gretzky? -

4. What are the athletic nicknames of these CIAU member institutions: Calgary Memorial Concordia Lethbridge

5. When a person went to see the Brooklyn Americans play, what sport was he watching?

6. Who%is the president of the CIAU? 7. In which sport was the first Canadian gold medal in

Olympic competition won? 8. What sport did the first Toronto Argonauts partici-

pate in? 9. What is the “Bronze Baby’?

The Best of Imprint Sports

CIAU hockey triumph The first in the Best of Imprint Sports series is ‘Flashback to a

Championship: a look back at the hocke?, Warrior’s C/A U- ulinningseason of 1973-74. It u,as written by Bruce Beacock, and appeared in Imprint on November 7th, 1980.

It is November. The rites of winter will soon be fully upon us. Another hockey season has started in Canada.

In no other country does one thing so completely absorb the nation. Hockey is at once our passion and our national madness. Hockey is part of our national identity in a world which has cast us in another’s shadow in just about everything else.

And so, with theadvent of another winter, Canada’s legendary professionals lace up for another season. The junior leagues, the lifeblood of the N H L, gear up for anot her campaign. Children all over the country come to life again. And another university hockey season begins as well.

This season the Waterloo Warriors will be suffering the pangs of a ‘rebuilding’ process. With most veterans now departed, the season may be a long one. But this knowledge will not make a poor season any easier for Coach Bob McKillop to accept. For him, each win must be more precious, each loss must be more painful, than for most coaches. For Bob McKillop has coached the team that won it all - and to win it once is surely to want it again.

The year was 1973. The Waterloo Warriors were returning 13 veterans to a team that promised to be a real threat to win the Western Division of the OUAA.

Among the returnees were four OUAA West all-stars: forwards Mike Guimond, Russ Elliott, Cam Crosby and goaltender Jake Dupuis. Along with a few other veterans, these players would form the nucleus of a squad that would show great character during the course of the year.

McKillop could only have been guardedly optimistic. In his own division, Western was returning a strong team. And Toronto was still the Goliath yet to be slain. All through the season, as the Cinderella Warriors piled win atop win, everyone kept waiting for midnight to come. It never did.

The Warriors were undefeated at home for the entire year.

Queen’s Cup and advance to the CIAU elimination round where they would play the Western conference champions, Calgary Dinosaurs.

The series against Calgary was a best 2 of 3 affair. The Warriors ensured the Dinosaurs’ extinction with 6-3 and 3-2 victories,

setting the stage for the CIAU Championship game against the Eastern Candian Champions at Toronto’s Varsity Arena.

Sir George Williams College of Montreal was the foe. Having beat this team 7-2 early in the exhibition season, the Warriors were confident, but not cocky. That game was one of the most exciting ever to be played in CIAU Championship history.

Early on, the Warriors appeared awed to be there at all, and Sir George Williams carred a 4-2 lead into the third period. They looked for all intents to have the title within their grasp.

But Waterloo summoned from within itself whatever it is that separates a champion from an ordinary team. The Warriors scored two goals in that period to send it into overtime. They scored two more early in the fourth, and although Sir George Williams replied once, this season was to belong to Bob McKillop and the Warriors of destiny.

It was perhaps fitting - certainly not surprising - that they superb Guimond, Hawkshaw, and Elliott line scored 5 of the 6 Waterloo goals that day. And they scored them against thegreat Bernie Wolfe, a goalkeeper who would go on to play in the National Hockey League.

Thus it was that the 1973-74 Waterloo hockey team won their first ClAU crownever. For Bob McKillop the images must linger on - Mike Guimond carryingthe CIAU Championship Trophy around Varsity Arena, fierce pride on his face; injured players like Elliott and Danny Partland playing in pain; rookies like Madely, McCosh, and Peter Kallio playing with maturity beyond their years; and always his marvelous line of Guimond, Hawkshaw, and Elliott.

That was one of the proudest moments in Waterloo sports. It is moments like tho.se that make the coaches who shared in them strive to achieve new heights.

They lost only one league game - to Western, whom they also

College and Royal Military College byanaggregate total of 29-3,

beat. The only games lost in the exhibition season were to

while registering two shutouts. They clinched first place in the We.st in their final league game with a 14-O bombing ofthe Brock

Toronto, Michigan, and Cornell. They won the Oswego State Tournament in New York; outscoring Oswego State, Hamilton

Badgers. . . . Basketballers remain active

The line of Mike Guimond, Ron Hawkshaw,and RussEilliott literally terrorized the league. Among them they garnered 60 goals. Lee Barnes and Cam Crosby added 20 more. Randy Stubel and Frank Staubitz were pillars of strength on the blueline, and added 11 goals of their own. Among the rookies, Rob Madely and Dave McCosh were the most notable. In goal, the Warriors had the best: Jake Dupuis was astounding all season long, and his backup Doug Snoddy was remarkable as well.

As the playoffs opened, Waterloo met the then Waterloo Lutheran (now Laurier) Golden Hawks in the West semi-finals. Having outscored Lutheran 20-10 during the season, they were not about to let the Hawks rain on their parade at this point. They beat WLU 8-6.

An 8-4 victory over York Yeomen put them in a position to win the OUAA championship if they should beat Western (who had eliminated Toronto). They beat the Mustangs 6-4 to win the

After an incredible season in which they came one step away from a national championship, the Warriors basketball team have gone their separate ways for the summer. Considering all the time each member of the team spent in games and practices during the season, it’s not surprising that most of them alsospend their summers with the sport they love.

Head coach Don McCrae’s time is being spent leading the National Women’s basketball team. He acquired the position during 1977, when the club was ranked fifteenth in the world. This weekend, he is conducting a training camp in the PAC to help narrow the team to twelve Olympic-calibre players.

The Waterloo players, of course, can’t all play together due to the limitations of geography and age. Guards Peter Savich and Bruce Milliken, and centre Randy Norris were present at a recent tryout for the provincial under-21 team. The team, coached by Sudbury native Peter Domengoni, will be partici- pating in the national Junior championships August third through sixth in Regina.

Domengoni admitted that he will invite“about threeorfourat the most” of the21 playersat thelocaltryouttothefinalcamp. At the camp, to be held from June 16-18 at the PAC, the final team roster will be selected. The team will train together in July, and has some exhibition games scheduled before thechampionships.

The coach was impressed with the talent shown at the tryout by both Norrisand Milliken, whoseuniversityexperiencestood out among the remaining players of high-school age. Based on being on the team last year, Savich receives an automatic invitation to the final camp.

“St. Peter” Savich, who put the Warriors in the CIAU finals with a miracle shot at the buzzer, assessed the skill levels of university and under-2 1 teams as“roughly the same. The talent is pretty equal. Our coach (Domengoni) is very good. 1 enjoy it.”

The extra time spent under the hoops this summer can do nothing but help the players and coaches continue to improve theirskills for the coming season of OUAA basketball.
