The Imprint The Imprint is an editorially independent student newspaper pub- lished by the Journalism Club, a club within the Federation of Students, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. Our office is located in the Science Society office in Biology 1, room 253. We are typeset by Dumont Press Graphix; paste-up is done on campus.

This is the inaugural issue of the imprint. Who knows? This date might go down in history. Working on the Imprint is creative fun. Why not join and end summer boredom. Converted Imprinters this week were Randy Barkman, Ciaran O’Donnell, John McKay, Steve Coates, Steve Risto, Richard Kular, Frank Morison, Cindy, Nicole Delplace, Steve Hull, Oscar Nierstrasz, Mark Mcguire, Dave Anjo, Harry Wan, Tom Greenwood, John Kocemba, .Leslie Koch, Ray Clement, John Fauquier, John Vardon, John Jackson, Derek Olson.

Editorial i Late in the winter term, two engineering

students, John Chaychuk and Hugh Alley, decided that there was a need for a new student newspaper on campus. This de- sire coincided with many chevron staff members’ abandonment of the chevron as a lost cause. The result was a meeting on ‘March 31 attended by 21 people and the birth of what is now titled “The Im- print”. Oddly enough, helping us at the

* meeting was past chevron editor Jim Nagel who had originated the name “the chevron” in 1966.

How are we organized? The Imprint is published by the Jour-

nalism Club, a club recently recognised by the Federation of Students. The paper is currently self-financed through adver- tising. With $658 ad-revenue,- of which< $458 is off-campus money - this issue showed a surplus of about $100. At the ,present we depend entirely on voluntary labour.

The policy of the paper is determined by its staff; hopefully we will begin regular staff meetings in the fall. We are editorially independent from the federation and campus societies.

Policies of the paper ‘Student journalists should strive con-

tinually to be fair and accurate in their reports. . . .” Deliberate bias should be re- served for comments and editorials. If we err it should be pointed out, and we will listen.

Only students can vote on The Imprint. This policy is made to ensure that the paper remains student oriented. To vote, one must make four contributions to the paper. Members of the university’ community are welcome to participate in the paper; as much can be gained from a greater source of input.

Editorial responses to letters are too great a privilege for a paper to abuse. The Imprint will respect the viewpoints of its readers, responding to letters only for in- formational purposes.

Pseudonyms for atletter will be printed only on rare occasions. Idealistically, we believe that the letters section should not be written by the staff of the paper, should not be dominated by any one section of the campus, and should not consist of “hate letters”.

We will print our fuil policies and pro- cedures at a later date.

The more students contributing to the paper, the more it becomes a student news- paper. We want you to get involved and we will try in various ways to achieve this. The student press should take editorial stands, even those contrary to the accepted view on campus, but it must constantly be reaching out to the student body for input and should never impede this process in any way.

The student press should be open to a wide variety of viewpoints. It should also be open to criticism. This paper shall deter- mine whether it is doing its job by student standards, not those of any political organi- zation. Without student support we have no reason to publish. ’ ,

Contact Though we would very much like our

own offices, for the time being we are utiliz- ing the Science Society office (Biologyl, room253)asspaceistighton thecampus. 4 The office, however, isn’t staffed to any great extent at present. Work on it and you, can get us, there are many of us around. Mail should be addressed to: The Jour- nalism Club c/o The Federation of Students.

We will publish at least once more this summer (July 6) and hope to begin full production in the fall term. We would like to thank all of those who wished us luck in getting the paper started.

Letters - I . The Imprint encourages students to write letters to the paper. The following is our policy:

Letters should be addressed to The Journalism Club c/o The Federation of Students; typed on a 64-character line, double spaced; should include the phone number, ad- dress, faculty and year of the writer; and should be no longer than 700 words. Letters may be edited by the paper if a note to this effect is printed accompanying the letter. Letters may not be printed if the paper cannot identify the author.

Pseudonyms and names of organizations will be printed only for a good reason and at the discretion of staff. Pseudonyms should be easily identified as such. Staff should be supplied with the real name of the author before it prints a pseudonym or na,me of an organization. The name of the author(s) will normally be printed with that of their organizational name.

Letters are a service provided to the students of the University of Waterloo and may‘ be rejected by staff for good reason. Dominance of the letter section by person(s), and ‘dumping’ in the letter section should be avoided.

Letters will be printed on a first-come-first-serve basis except when accommodating letters for ‘fair reply’ and timeliness.

The agreement with en- trepeneur Wayne Connors guarantees Board of Enter- tainment $2000 per concert for 10 concerts at the PAC and three concerts at Seag- ram Stadium.

Before the agreement is finalized the agreement of the lJW administration is necessary.

The federation has looked into Connors’ background and has de- cided that he is financially sound. Federation presi- dent- Rick Sniit told The Im- print that Connors has suc- cessfully promoted con- certs in Hamilton and Montreal.

He has a number of in-

Course evaluations

Programs vary Course evaluations at

UW are carried out in dif- ferent ways in the different faculties involved, and have therefore encoun- tered a range of problems and met with varying de- gre&s of success.

The engineering course evaluations are carried out by EngSoc and adminis- tered by Jeff Stern, a stu- dent who is Assistant to the Associate Dean, using funds provided by the Fa- culty of Engineering and the Federation of Students.

The form used consists of 19 questions, the first two asking for the student’s standing in the last term and projected mark in the course being evaluated, and the remainder dealing with the student’s opinions on course content and the competence of the T.A.‘s and professor.

A detailed breakdown of the results ior the winter term survey, which in- cludes ratings out of 10 on both course content and quality of teaching for each course, is now available for perusal in the EngSoc of- fice.

The engineering course evaluations are generally viewed as a success by all concerned. EngSoc presi- dent Fraser Cutten cited large sample sizes as a guarantee that the results are reasonably accurate.

Far from being critical of the evaluations, he said that “The engineering fa- culty looks on them as,-a pretty valid technique for evaluating their own per- formance”.

He suggested that, all other things being equal, the administration might consult their copies of past and current evaluations to decide between potential candidates for promotion.

The situation in mathematics is very differ- ent indeed. The Faculty of Mathematics, which -pro- vides the funds for course evaluations, prohibited the publication of Math Sot’s “Anti-Cal” during the regu- lar academic year, claiming that some of the comments were in bad taste and not constructive.

MathSoc president Andy Meuller told The Imprint that although the Federa- tion had previously of’fered to provide funds for the publication of the usual course-by-course written critique, in future “Anti- cal” will consist of a course

- statistical survey.

Because of the con- troversy no course evalua- tion was undertaken in the winter term, and results for the one done in the fall term will not tje available until October. MathSoc does ndt conduct a course evalua- tion during the summer term.

It is the faculty itself, and not SciSoc, that evaluates science courses. The ques- tionnaire used for the last few terms has has been abandoned, and the Sci- ence Faculty Council’s ex- ecutive committee is cur- rently at work preparing two new forms to take its place.

ArtsSoc made its first at- tempts at course evalua- tion during the fall and winter terms. The form used began with questions on the quality of course content, an@ then asked if any problems had been created by the profe_ssor.

Students who felt that this was so could then answer a series of ques- tions designed to clarify the nature of the professor’s short-comings. As with the E’ngSoc evaluations, com- ments addressed directly to the professor could be written on a separate sheet.

Whereas the actual tes- ting in the evaluations un- dertaken by other student societies is done by unpaid volunteers, ArtsSoc de- cided to hire students to carry out this task. It was largely as a result of this that the evaluations, which were funded by the Faculty of Arts, the Federation, and ArtsSoc, ended up costing several thousand dollars.

Critics pointed out that course evaluations in other faculties, and even those carried out independently by some of the depart- ments within the Arts Fa- culty, are not nearly as ex- pensive.

Some complaints were also made by professors about the performance of the hired students, and there were also made by professors about the per- formance of the hi’red students, and there has been general displeasure with the length of time being tak,en to process the data, none of which will be available for many months.

Treasurer Doreen Danis said that evaluations, pos- sibly carried out in a dif- ferent way, will probably continue to be made by ArtsSoc in coming terms.

terests in the Hamilton-St. Catharines area, including an interest in the Town Casino in Hamilton.

Smit also told The Im- print that the federation has a say in the type of tal- ent *which is brought here by Connors, who will have an exclusive right to pro- duce the federation’s con- certs in the PAC.

The negotiations k at the moment, however, seem to suggest that the Federation would only have the right to veto the first performer that Connors would offer the Federation.

After this Connors would have the final say for that

particular concert date. pus over the next two years. Connors seems to oper-

ate by a philosophy which iS rare among promoters in

this area, said Smit: “He realizes he should work closely with students, not against them.”

Smit feels that, “we can provide high quality enter- tainment at a cheaper price and both we and Connors can benefit.”

The federation of students has recently come to an agreement with a concert promoter which should bring the Bee Gees to the P.A.C. in September with another dozen con- certs to take place on cam-

Connors first ap- proached the federation about five weeks ago and negotiations have been continuing since then. Re- ports on the progress of the negotiations were reported to B. Ent and federation council at their regular meetings. The agreement will be presented to council at its next meeting.

The‘ Federation has sponsored a number of concerts which have lost money in the past year. Al- though Harry Chapin at- tracted more than 2000 students in the Fall term,

the concert lost over $4,000.

Another concert with Jesse Winchester held at Bingeman Park drew few students and lost about $2,000.

The most recent concert - David Bradstreet - saw the Theatre of the Arts less than half full for his per- formance.

Connors is attempting to organize a concert tour of Ontario universities for the Bee Gees for next Fall with a UW date of Sept 29. If that

‘falls through the Beach BOYS or Gordon Lightfoot are possibilities.

Police watching campus Centres Detectives from the

Waterloo Regional Police dept have been surveilling the campus this week, The Imprint has learned.

A yellow Plymouth 4-doorwith licence number KEW 045 was parked be- side the campus centre at about 4:45 pm Wednesday, with two muscled gentle- men reading the chevron inside. They later entered the north entrance to the campus centre, where they stayed, intently reading the CKMS FM guide, for half and hour. /

Approached by The Im- print, they indicated that they would prefer not to have their pictures taken and said that they weren’t police. About five minutes later, they returned to their car, one saying as he left that he was going to meet his “sister-in-law”. They then drove around behind the Faculty Club.

However, before they left, The lm!print obtained’ photographs of their car, as well as seeing a letter, in a Waterloo emblem en-

CKMS to build antenna tower CKMS-FM will be spen-

ding $4500 this August to build a 100 foot tower be- side the Bauer warehouse to replace their antenna on the Arts library.

The move results from pressure by the UW administration’s planning department, who felt that the library antenna detrac- ted from the library’s ap-

pearance, and that it might weaken the roof.

planning director Ernie Lappin told The Imprint

only agreed to the present, lattice-type antenna as a stopgap measure, and that they had always insisted on a single-pole antenna light enough to attach to the wall without drilling into the roof.

However, according to CKMS coordinator Dave Assman, a single-pole an- tenna would have to be custom built, and would require special approval from the Canad ian Stan- dards Association. He es- timated that a single-pole antenna would cost $2000.

Assman, who described the affair as “unfortunate”, said that there is a silver lining in the costly move. He said that CKMS has had “no end of problems” with the Bell Canada leased line between the station and the antenna, and that it has made the station go off the air twice in the past.

With the antenna beside the station these problems will disappear, as will a $50 per month leasing charge from Ma Bell.

OFS conference at GuelDh The Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) held its annual general meeting last weekend at the University of Guelph. Below are reports of some of the interesting things that came up. /

Students must act Students should “take

, matters into their own hands” in the fight against cutbacks, according to some visitors from the As- sociation National des Et&ants du Quebec (ANEQ) at the OFS confer- ence last weekend.

ANEQ representatives described how Montreal students protested an in- crease in the student sub- way fare by refusing to pay at all. Large numbers of students gathered in the stations and “jumped the railings” as an a.lternative to the more traditional, paying route via the turnsti- les.

The students, /who- be- came known as the “metro

guerillas”, also assisted hard-pressed houswives in gaining free admission to the stations.

ANEQ also cited the ex- ample of a CEGEP which raised the prices in its cafeteria, only to find that the students preferred a lower price determined by themselves.

The students were sup- ported by the cafeteria staff, who had been made scapegoats for the price increases by the administ- ration.

Although such measures can only last for a few weeks, ANEQ noted that it is important for students to actively demonstrate against cutbacks and esca- lation of education costs.

Red “faces ali ‘round Reports of alleged embez- zlement and deep financial indebtedness wittin Com- munity Colleges student unions inadvertently found their way into the minutes of an OFS workshop last weekend, apparently causing acute embarass- ment to the parties concer- ned.

Delegates at the final session of the OFS confer- ence were asked to return the offending minutes al- most immediately after re- ceiving them. Officials would only say that there

An OFS representative conceded that apart from the embezzlement, the de- leted items were accurate representations of the truth.

Students at the University of Ottawa voted last March to join the Ontario Federa- tion of Students, but due to the low turnout in the re- ferendum the decision was declared null by their students’ council.

recognizing the majority decision of their students.

OFS members felt that the Ottawa council was guilty of interpreting the results of th.e referendum, although they conceded that the situation is not well understood.

Ottawa attended the conference as non-voting delegates, which is a privilege of any Ontario university or college which is not a member of OFS.

OFS also includes non- member institutions in some of its working com- mittees, part of the rea-son being that such institutions

may be persuaded to join as full members.

OFS has struck a deficit budget for the year 1978-79, with an income of $202,000 and expenditures ’ of $215,000.

Had Ottawa joined, the revenue expectat ions would have eliminated the deficit in the budget, and left a slight surplus.

OFS chairperson Miriam ‘Edelson is the ninth full- time employee, with the same salary as the staff.

Edelson could not pro- I vide any details on how OFS salaries compare with the ’ salaries of student union workers at univer- sities in Ontario, but she ventured that “they are pretty much the same”.

Despite Fed snub

Kundalini on Campus For the first time since Joseph Drppong, foun-

der and president of PSI, a prominent figure in the Kundalini Institute, and the director of the film, then discusses in a press con- ference how he came to be- lieve in Gopi Krishna. Only this man, Dippong asserts, was able to explain to him the meaning of a “mystical experience” he had during a brief period of clinical death in 1970, the same ex- perience that led him to terminate his business career and begin his spiritual career.

ness, and claims that he has already done so. being denied recognition

as a Federation club by students’ council in early March, the Kundalini Re- search Institute of Canada made an appearance on campus on May 31. The Kundalini Institute, a spiritual organization af- filiated with the PSI Mind Development Institute, re- nted Arts Lecture Hall room 115 for the K-W premiere of their new documentary film, “Journey of Light”.

For one accustomed to the relaxed atmosphere and low price of the Fed Flicks, which are held in the same room, the formality and expensiveness of the event came as something of a surprise. Well-dressed volunteers met the equally well-dressed film-goers at the door, collected the

. $5.00 per person fee, and staffed a table where Iitera- ture was sold.

In addition, the music played before the film star- ted (performed by

. Kundalini’s own Rainbow Singers) was available on a 45 rpm record. Besides the expected pamphlets on the film and the Kundalini Insti- tute, only bumpe.r stickers reading “The Source is

Within You” were dis- tri buted free of charge.

It should be noted, how- ever, that all 135 people at- tending were invited to a wine and cheese party at a private residence after the film, at no additional charge.

After a brief introduction by Suzanne Capreol, a doc- toral candidate in

’ biochemistry here at UW who has recently been de- voting herself full-time to PSI and Kundalini, the hour-long film started at 8:30. “Journey of Light”

documents a trip under- taken by 234 Canadians, including some uw students, to India to meet the leader of the Kundalini movement, Pandit Gopi

. Krishna. In the opening sequence,

the confusing and con- tradictory multiplicity of re- ligious beliefs is criticized, and an underlying force called Kundalini or “the serpent power” is offered as an explanation of all re- ligious phenomena.

It is claimed that know- ledge of Kundalini, the power that motivated all the great spiritual leaders of the past whether they were aware of it or not, was lost with the passage of time and has been re- discovered in our day by Gopi Krishna.

Most of the remainder of the film is taken up by selections from several days of lectures by Gopi Krishna on the subject of Kundalini that were atten- ded by the visitors. In one interesting sequence Dr. Karan Singh, former Minis- ter of Health and Family Planning in India, speaks of “Project Consciousness”, a research program being undertaken at the Indian National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-sciences to provide the scientific jus- tification for the theories of Gopi Krishna that it is said throughout the film will in- evitably be found.

While there was no at- tempt to sell anything ex- cept ideas during the cam- pus screening; “Journey of Light” was incorporated into the weekly lecture at the local PSI headquarters the following Tuesday, at which time it was used to encourage the 40 people attending to sign up for PSI’s “Inward Bound IV” course.

At a cost of $175.00 for full-time students over 18 years of age, it is claimed that taking this intensive four-day course leads to “a deeper understanding of the true meaning of medita- tion” and teat hes “spiritual laws” that will “inevitably improve your life” if properly applied.

According to Art Ram, a UW staff member, as many as 200 UW students may have taken the course al- ready, although exact statistics were not availa- ble.

Ms. Capreol, who be- lieves implicitly in the sci- entific authenticity of Gopi Krishna’s theories, sugges- ted his book The Biological Basis of Religion and Genius as a source of in- formation and clarification.

In it, Gopi Krishna asserts that human mental capacities have evolved to the point where it is possi- ble for all men to achieve a higher state of conscious-

By observing spiritual laws and meditating, ‘-the force of Kundalini, which lies like a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, will enter the brain and expand its capabilities.

Kundalini is closely re- lated to sex, and he says that among the enligh- tened “The semen in men is now produced in such abundance that a tiny stream rises day and night through the spine into the cranium to provide the richest and purest food for the now ‘heavily o&-r: worked brain cells. In women, the sexual energy and secretions involved in erotics are used as the fuel.”

Two graduate science students, Norman Reed and Joan Davidson will show “Journey of Light” after a brief talk on Mon- day, June 19, at 7:30 pm in room 113 of the Campus Centre. This time admis- sion is free.

In addition, numerous campus organizations have been approached with the suggestion that they show the film to their members, but information on their replies was not av- ailable at press time.

for a Canadian University Press investigation on this, and other alleged chevron improprieties.

The chevron acquired a Compugraphic Jr. Typeset- ter on loan from Larry Han- nant 2 i/2 weeks ago. The council motion requested them to remove it from the office by Friday, June 9th.

On June 8th, Smit re- ceived a letter from the chevron stating that the chevron would not remove the typesetter since its ac- quisition was within the “editorial prerogative” of the staff, and hence council’s motion was “ultra vires” or beyond their pow- ers.

Smit’s letter, to be dis- cussed at the Board of Di- rectors meeting Thursday requests an investigation commission to investigate chevron actions con- travening the CUP code of ethics and statements of principles.

C&ted are t’the alleged political ousting of staff member Chris Dufault”, “Alleged intimidation of chevron staff members”, and “violation of a council motion with student’s council allegedly acting within the student interest and within its power.” It re- quests CUP president John Wilson to act on these, and “other related matters.”

Chevron editor Dave Car- ter told The Imprint that the typesetter would save the

Science Councillor Richard Kular also expres- sed a fear that the typeset- ter would be used for pub- lishing by the AIA and CPDC.

However, when -asked if these groups would be using the typesetter Carter said “I’m sure they won’t”.

A chevron staff motion claimsthat. production ar- rangements are within the editorial prerogative of the staff, “both by historic pre- cedent and within the meaning of the bylaws of the Federation.”

The Federation bylaws state that the editorial pol- icy of the chevron shall be the prerogative of the editor. Since this bylaw came into force, the pre- rogative has passed from the editor to the staff. The CUP statement of princip- les also requires editorial policy to be independent of the federation.

When The Imprint con- tacted CUP president John Wilson, for his interpreta- tion of “editorial preroga- tive”, he said that as he un- derstood it, it applied to the content and direction of the.paper.

Asked how historical precedent applied to pro- duction arrangements, Carter said that the chev- ron had decided, in consul- tation with Dumont, the size of the paper, and which chevron staffers were sent to Dumont.

He agreed that these were minor details, and said that the federation hadn’t objected when the chevron notified them about their plans to do paste-up on campus.

The original contract with Dumont was discus- sed at an Executive Board meeting of the Federation, on April 2 1971. It was brought up for considera- . .- -.... tlon, and after a full discus- sion the board decided to leave the contract to then chevron editor Alex Smith.

Hannant purchased the typesetter from the Com- munity Reflection for $6500.

Carter said that Hannant had financial support in buying the typesetter, but said he didn’t know who else had put up money for it.

The chevron has the typesetter for a three- month trial period. Carter said that the paper intends to start typesetting feed- back in-house by the June 23rd issue.

Writing skillsconference describes requirements At the recent “Writing Skills in Ontario”

conference (June 1st - 3rd) over 150 teachers, principals and administrators from all levels of education in the province met at the University of Waterloo to dis- cuss highly significant recommendations concerning the teaching of writing.

These recommendations were the re- sults of 4 reports produced by committees set up after last year’s “Writing Skills and the University Student Conference” and if adopted by the Ministries of Education and of Colleges and Universities, they could profoundly affect the entire system of education in the province.

All sessions of the conference, held at Conrad Grebel College, were chaired by Ken Ledbetter, Associate Dean of Arts and main director of this university’s English Language Proficiency Programme.

After a stirring and buoyantly optimistic address by Chairman Led better on Thursday evening, delegates attended the first of several informal receptions desig- ned to allow people to discuss the previ- ous session and to discover as much as possible about the methods and pro- cedures used to teach writing at other in- stitutions.

The main business of the conference took place at four sessions devoted to discussion of each committee report : “Teacher Preparation,” “Secondary School English Credits and Class Size,” “Levels of Achievement” and “Marking Standards”.

Friday morning’s session dealt with the four recommendations of the Committee on Teacher Preparation: 1. A requirement for admission to all teacher training programs should be at least one full university-level course in writing and in English language and grammar. 2. A thorough and intensive course in the teaching of language arts (reading, writing, speaking, listening) should be mandatory in, all teacher training prog- rams. 3. Permanent teaching certificates should

require at least two years Of successful classroom teaching followed by a full- time summer program (or the equivalent) at a faculty of education IF. The Ministry of Education, faculties of education, boards of education, and uni- versities should provide for teachers al- ready in the system courses equivalent to those specified in 1 and 2 above; teachers should be required to take at least one of these courses.

On Friday afternoon the six-member Committee on Secondary School English Credits and Class Size presented its re- port to the delegates for comments and criticism. -

The report dealt with recommendations made in last year’s report, “Writing Skills and the University Student” concerning the number of English credits required for graduation at grades 12 and 13, the num- ber of students per English class and the time allowed for mandatory English clas- ses in two of the secondary school years.

The committee had decided, after con- siderable scrutiny and discussion, that the recommendations as originally out- lined would not sit well with teachers of other subjects, who often work under simlfar restraints. Consequently, a sub- stantially modified set of recommen- dations was presented: 1. Limit the size of secondary school En- glish classes to a maximum of 25 students each. 2. Devote at least 50% of the class time.in all secondary school English classes to the development of writing skills. 3. Require grade 13 English for the Sec- ondary School Honours Graduation Dip- loma and for admission to all university programs. 4. Develop and implement an effective language policy in every Ontario school.

There was a great deal of debate on each of these items, with the first re- ceiving only a measure of support and the second being changed to read, “Place an equal emphasis on language and Iitera- ture in all secondary school English clas- ses.”

The potentially controversial third re- commendation received overwhelming and enthusiastic support, a fact which could mean that grade 13 English will once again become a requirement for all students wishing to enter university.

By far the most rigorous debate was generated by the report of the Committee on Levels of Achievement. In an effort to make certain that students throughout the province are assessed uniformly and systematically, the five members of this committee presented a list of what they considered reasonable proposals con- cerning expected levels of achievement for grades 6 to 13, colleges and univer- sities.

Here, for example, is a partial list of the skills which students at the end of grade 6 “should be” able to demonstrate in their writing:

1. use a dictionary and apply such aids as pronunciation, root words, prefixes and suffixes; 2. use capital letters correctly; 3. use end punctutation, common ab- breviations, contractions, and posses- sives correctly; 4. recognize the four basic parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb).

Many delegates felt that the lists were too idealistic and advanced, while others felt they were not nearly advanced or idealistic enough.

Some questioned the authoritarianism implied in the verb “should be” and won- dered openly about the possible minis- terpretation and misuse of the many items in this list.

However, after it was stressed that the lists were not meant to constitute cur- ricula and that each was to be used to gauge what a student demonstrates in his or herwriting, the recommendations (with modifications) were generally endorsed.

The most emphatic and wholehearted’ support was reserved for the report of the

Committee on Marking Standards, but once again there was much debate and many suggestions for revision.

Recognizing that the aim of marking IS the improvement of students’ writing, the six members of this committee “broke down” writing into four constituent parts: Material, Organization, Style, and Mechanics.

The committee then proposed marking standards for grades 6 to 13, colleges and universities.

The report also emphasized the,imprac- ticality of suddenly failing large numbers of students on the basis of their writing deficiencies and therefore stressed the necessity of a three to four year transition period before these standards could seri- ously be brought to bear on students’ writing.

On Saturday afternoon the final session was held, during which delegates were invited to discuss the suggestions for each report and to add other final com- ments and criticism.

The nineteen-member ‘Advisory and Implementation Committee will now con- sider carefully the many relevant sugges- tions and comments made at the confer- ence and will attempt to discover the best ways to present and implement the re- commendations of the four reports.

Since the Government of Ontario may establish an English Subject Council “to nake recommendations that would lead :o better co-ordination between courses and between expectations of student achievement at the secondary and post- secondary levels”, the proposals of this ast committee could give this Council dery definite impetus and direction.

Ken Ledbetter hopes that the report which follows the “Writing Skills in On- tario Conference” will have an enormous 3ffect: “Through it we will have spoken as 3 concerned and responsible profession, )ur credibility will have risen, and our im- oact on the educational system in Ontario, on the curriculum, and on each other, will ‘everberate down through the years.”

I managed to catch two concerts last week; the first with Steve Goodman at the Ontario Place Forum, and the second with Canada’s own Juno Award winning, David Bradstreet.

Bradstreet’s most recent album is appropriately tit- led “Dreaming in Colour” - judging by his concert, the man is a pillar of som- nambulence.

It’s not that Bradstreet is specifically untalented; his guitar work did do justice to his D-35, and his voice does manage to hit the ma- jority of the notes and usu- ally in the same key, as well.

He’s also very good at going through the motions of a concert-he managed to face the audience,,align himself with the mikes and keep himself in time with the music without visible difficulty.

However, there is a major demarcation between a singer and an entertainer, a distinction that Bradstreet

/evidently fails to recognize. His concert seemed to

lack any personality of any

form; furthermore, Brad- Goodman at his Forum street’s presence was, at concert on June 6. best, aloof and contrived. With the able assistance

On top of this his sound- man seemed bereft of ears, with the result that the sound was predominantly midrange and overly loud.

His material augmented these difficulties; although lyrically not as overtly puerile as Dan Hill, his melodic lines are vague and indistinct - musically analogous to hamburger helper.

The only redeeming fea- ture of- the concert the warm up act, Lisa Garber. Whereas Bradstreet was terminally cool (as Harry Chapin would state), Li.sa seemed to enjoy herself.

She has a voice that pos- sesses an excellent range and a tonal similarity to Linda Ronstadt, and al- though the absence of a second guitar left the music sounding somewhat thin, the overall effect was quite good.

of Jethro (of the old Homer and Jethro team) on man- dolin, Goodman provided the 3000 at the Forum with one of the most pleasing concerts of this or any other season.

His guitar work was flaw- less, and his mastery of lyrics is as good as anyone on the current “folk” arenas.

Goodman was having fun, and his attitude was in- fectious - I’ve not seen an audience enjoy a show to the same extent in a long time.

The only detraction was the temperature (about 45 degrees F - it necessitated constan-t retuning).

However, it didn’t ‘pre: vent him from answering two standing ovations with two encores. All in all a most satisfying perfor- ~ mance.

He’ll be at Mariposa later this summer - if BENT could get him for a concert, it would be appreciated.

All students are hereby warned to be on the lookout for a group of very funny people. They are armed (and legged), and many of them openly con- fess to being involved in FASS, the highly illegal but highly entertaining evening of madness which rolls around every Feb- ruary.

It seems that these peo- ple, not content to remain in hiding for another seven months, have taken it upon themselves to write, pro- duce, direct, design and otherwise mismanage a three-act comedy going under the name ‘It’s Just A Stage He’s Going Through”.

This full-length play is rumoured to concern the travails and escapades of a couple which has the dubi- ous honour of dwelling un- derneath a small theatre in a big city, and the country cousin who comes to visit and perhaps ruin their mar- riage. Life is made particu- larly interesting by the fre- quent intrusions of unin- hibited actors and unin- vited guests, but rest as- sured that all of the troub-. les which result from the ensuing commo.tion are dealt with, however un- satisfactorily, before the final curtain.

The full extent of this show’s humour has not yet been determined, but students are warned to see it with great caution:. it could be fatally amusing.

The play is expected to hit the Theatre of the Arts on July 5, 6, 7, and 8 at 8:00 PM

Last Waltz, *on Target Reading a movie review insisted on using extremely

bulky 35mm equipment to film with, severely restric- ting camera movement and positioning. Not only that, but he insisted on breaking up the concert footage with interviews (mostly with Robbie Robertson, but more of that later) and - can you believe it? -three songs recorded on a sound stage. A sound stage! Wasn’t the concert good enough for him?

surprise, the film worked. Beautifully. I assume it still works beautifully, and fully intend on going back five or six times to make sure (ah, the life of a film re- viewer!). It seems that the tea is strong enough to wash every last bit of kerosene away and still leave a pleasant taste.

can really ruin a movie for you. Oh, I don’t mean by giving away the plot or what surprises the film may contain (although there is an unfortunately large number of reviewers who insist on doing that, mis- taken in the belief that 7e- view” and “synopsis” are synonyms).

The way a movie review can ruin a movie is some- thing like the way you can ruin a cup of tea by cleaning your teeth im- mediately beforehand. It’s bad enough if it’s mint tea, because the , toothpaste leaves such a strong phony-mint flavour in your mouth that you can’t tell anything about the real mint you’re drinking, but if you’re into Earl Grey, it’s hopeless. You don’t just miss the flavour, the lavender-mint combination ends up tasting like hot Lis- terine and tomato juice - not the best way to start the day, surely.

Such was the effect I feared as I walked into the Capitol No. 1 in Kitchener to see The Last Waltz, Mar- tin Scorcese’s film of The Band’s last concert at. the Winterland Ballroom. It had in fact gone beyond the mint-and-lavender stage and promised to be of the “accidentally cleaning

film had to be this combina- tion of three distinct elements, so that people who weren’t there for the music would still have a Film to entertain them. Ap- parently it never occurred to the schmuck that the only people who are going to see the movie are those who are there for the’ music.

This, then, is the burden under which I saw The Last Waltz. Come to think of it, it’s also the burden under which you’ll see it too, un- less I do something fast. Here goes.. .

Much to my pleasant

Fever - my only disap- pointment was that they left out Rag Mama Rag, but I guess I should be thankful.

The Band was in their typical impeccable form, on top of all their music and tight as tight can be. As if this weren’t enough, they gave repeated demon- strations of their excel- lenceasaback-upband- for Neil Young, ,Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins, Joni Mitchell (who was great, but whose choice of song left me cold) and the only solo artist to perform more than one song in the film, Bob Dylan-you were

expecting maybe Barry White?

The three studio songs (The Weight, Evangeline and Theme From The Last Waltz) were nicely done and, yes, actually fit well into the movie, the silence of the studio providing a marked contrast with the noisy Winterland, and un- derlining The Band’s oft- described skill/drawback: the live footage was every bit as polished musically as the staged songs. In all three areas of the film, Scorsese allows the film equipment to be seen as well as leaving in the heads and tails of the interview segments. Again this worked beautifully, remind- ing us that this wasn’t just

another fairy story, but a record of things that were really happening. Artifice was kept to a minimum, reinforcing this “You Are There” feel of the film.

The interviews even im- proved the film’s appeal, despite the central impor- tance of the music, for two reasons. First, however great the music, one needs a rest occasionally, one that would be provided by the introductions of the guest artists at the concert, but not here where the songs are spaced practi- cally bumper-to-bumper. Second, through the course of-the film the inter- views draw us closer to the people in The Band, and thence their music. Instead of half-human musicians for two hours, we’re treated to the gentle straightfor- wardness , and Arkansas drawl of Levon Helm, the very stoned humorousness of Richard Manuel and (especially) Rick Danko and the introverted sincer- ity of Garth Hudson.

I leave out Robbie Robertson intentionally. You see, Robertson is the producer of the movie, the one who gave birth to it, along with Scorsese. Coin- cidentally, the cameras spend more time on him than anyone else in the en-

music of the whole film. And here’s the shocker: you look at Clapton, and he’s not even trying! The guy acts as if he’s just woken up. With this kind of music resulting from that little effort, one is flabber- gasted thinking of what would happen if the man would exert himself.

So there you have it., If you’re into cinema, see the film. If you’re into recent history, see the film. If

you’re into Canadian unity, see the film (Helm is the only American, but we’ll forgive him for that). If you’re into any of the above musicians or Emmylou Harris, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Lawrence Ferlinghetti (fer Chris- sakes!), etc., etc., see the film. If you’ve got the Rock 102 blues and want to hear some real music, see the film. But see the film, what- ever you do. Steve Hull

Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The story line is rather simple to map out for “Damien, Omen Ill”. Di- vide the length of the movie in minutes by ten, and one is left with the number of incredibly hor- rid death sequences the movie will be based around.,

Then sit down for an hour and figure out about ten ways a person could die incredibly and horridly at the hands of the devil. Like Christ, the devil’ can perform miracles so there are countless ways to kill. The one restriction is that the devil does not repeat a death from the movie be- fore lest he bore us.

Damien has grown older in Omen II. And yes, things are idyllic with young Da- mien, his cousin Mark and his new parents. But as sure as “Westworld” se- quels, something goes wrong. In Damien’s case it is prophesy; a fate that must be fulfilled. For he is the beast of Revelation, born of a jackal, and branded 666.

The proof comes from an archaeological find in Israel of paintings of Satan . . . . -- .

Most scenes, outside of the death scenes. are forgettable. One exception has Damien rattling off the dates of historical episodes to the snap ques- tions of an instructor at the military academy Da- mien attends. The devil has been around.

William Holden and Lee Grant as Mr and Mrs Thorn (appropriately named) have little to do in the film. Holden repeats Gregory Peck’s role as the unbelieving parent who eventually is convi riced that “the boy has got to die.” He unwisely seeks out the special daggers that his brother (Peck) tried with before, instead ofl’seekinb for his bible. You see, the beast has much to do before he dies, and= he certainly does not die from dagger wounds. He is rather, “cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone” as predic- ted in Revelation 19:20. ’

Omen II lacks the power of the earlier film and is also deprived of great character acting such as that David Warner pro-

tire film: But at the end of it you still feel removed from him. Sure he’s a fantastic guitarist, able to play the frets off the damn thing yet endowed with that rare ~ musical gift of knowing just what’s called for. But after ’ all the smoke has cleared, after all his sweating and singing to himself and, taking that guitar to the most wonderful places - after all that, the members of the group who really stick in your mind with their likeableness and musi- cianship are Danko and Helm.

There is one thing -I’ve been saving (chuckle) that is by itself worth the price of admission (bearing in mind that I did get in free), and that’s Eric Clapton. ’ You’re leaning back, en- joying the movie when out he comes, God himself, looking soberer and straighter than you thought possible, and ‘plays a fast blues. He and Robertson get to trading licks back and forth, and Robertson’s

Let’s wait to see if the planned Omen III or IV will be better. Damien will be in his twenties or thirties (his parents will be played bY7 let’s say, Laurence Olivier and Julie Christie) and the little devil might be well on his way to launching the world into Armageddon.

Al Di Meola Casino

Since he was loosened of his ties with Return to Forever, Al DiMeola has emerged as one of the most prominent of guitarists,

ja?z surpassrng

George Benson, and rival- ling John McLaughlin. But while Benson sinks into disco, and McLaughlin drifts further into Indian musical circles, DiMeola has diffused to the -fore- front of progressive jazz.

His latest album, Casino, is a well-developed exten- sion of the- styles estab- lished in his first two al-

bums; Land of the Mid- night Sun, and Elegant Gypsy. During the two and a half years he was with RTF, he was able to estab- lish himself as a guitarist, and develop his own style of music, while the over- shadowing of pianist Chick Corea, prevented his style from being exposed to pub- lic scrutiny. DiMeola is now in the fortunate position of being able to blend ex- perimental styles of refined guitar picking into his music without having to rely on them.

With independence came expansion.vWhile his playing in RTF was limited

to an occasional few bars of hard rigid polished elec- tric guitar, his solo albums include frequent mellow ballads of both acoustic and electric six string tones contrasting his 32-bar high voltage blasts. His selec- tions have contained shades of Soain. South

America, and the European past.

Casino. is no exception. The Spanish and Latin in- fluences are as strong as ever. But unlike previous albums where such songs stood alone, DiMeola has very successfully integ- rated his various styles of play in some of the album’s b.est tracks. The rifts, runs, and whole-tone scales are no less intense than on previous albums, and the composing just as brilliant. It’s just a little better. This album is one of the best progressive jazz albums of 1978, and is highly recom- mended purchasing.

Stravinsky: “Pet- rouchka” (Complete Ballet - 1947). Chicago Symphony Orchesfra conducted by James Levine. RCA ARLI-2615.

can’t go far wrong with this new release.

An amazing number of astounding new classical recordings seem to have been released lately, and it looks like there are lots more on the way. That may make ‘it more difficult. for you to decide where to spend your money, but it also makes it much harder for you to be disappointed.

The ballet concerns Pet- rouchka, a traditional Rus- sian character at fairs, a puppet who falls in love with a ballerina and asks her love in return. The third character, a Moor, kills Pet- rouchka. This action in the first of the four tableaux is watched by a crowd of half-interested onlookers. The second and third tab- leaux are, respectively, Petrouchka’s room and the Moor’s room. A discussion of the action and motiva- tion of the ballet is rather pointless in a review of just the music, since it is more atmospheric than prog- rammatic in nature, so 1 won’t apologize for being unable to pass anything on.

ducting the London Sym- phony Orchestra (DGG 2530 71.1, a 1977 release) is an incredibly refined and warm version. Levine creates a far harsher, though spontaneous at- mosphere, which might seem more appropriate to the music. Warm, even loving, though the D&oit may be, however, he does not dispense with the energy a performance needs - it is every bit as exciting a performance as Levine’s. As far as the qual- ity of recording is concer- ned the Dutoit is prefera- ble, and there is a better chance of getting a good pressing from DGG than from RCA. There are, of course, many other re- spectable and temp ing versions such as the Bou- lez and Haitlink’s, but one

Levine seems to. be a bit of a wunderkind. He hasn’t ’ recorded very much, but what he has done has mostly been excellent, in- cluding performances of Mahler’s Third and Fourth Symphonies and Brahms First Symphony (all of RCA). Then again, the Chicago Symphony is - today in its prime, proving itself with a raft of conduc- tors as long as your arm (Levine, Guilini, Baren- boim, Abbado, Solti); un- like the (one and only) Ber- lin Philharmonic, which, in the past few years, has been recorded only under the baton of that lovable Fascist Herbert von Kara- jan.

Stravinsky, as one might imagine, is difficult to judge when one is unfamil- iar with the music. Corn- ’ parison of this particular disc with another very fine recording yields some in- teresting observations, however. The performance with Charles Dutoit who uses the 1911 score, con-

finely cut gem. The-album is an example of the kind of \ technological craftman- ship where every flaw is ex- quisitely planned, the re-

sult being a very subtle kind of perfection. The band is extremely tight and clean, but without the uptight sterility that plagues the bulk of the rock-pop- schmaltz being churned out on a regular basis b$ the music industry. sounds could be eaten (ah . . . the ultimate in synesthesia), Le Roux could make you under- stand the difference bet- ween fine cuisine and a McDonald’s hamburger.

The metaphor is apt, as Le Roux is a cajun term for a thick, rich gravy base used in many of the tradi- tional dishes of Louisiana. The bill of fare is ostensibly a collage of styles indigen- ous to New Orleans - a synthesis of dixieland jazz, ragtime, pop and rock. Yet - none of these categories ’ correctly describes their music. (Too bad sounds can’t be seen.) In com- parimg Le Roux to Loggins and Messina or Little Feat, I run the risk of being grossly unjust to all of them. Cuts like “Crazy in Love” and “Slow Burn” have a per- cussive punchy movement to them that will slowly overtake you. The guitar work is technically impres- sive, yet always tasteful. The raunchiest moments are carefully controlled (perhaps too much), and additional solos on brass, flute or piano are intellig- ently intertwined through- out the album.

The harmonies are rich and sonorous, although a trifle predictable. On one song, “Bridge of Silence”, a simple melody in three- four time, comes out a little like a ballad being sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The lyrical world of Le Roux will likely disap- point those lookingfor pro- found meaning or poetic * nirvana - it is full of “creole babies” and river- boat rides; of “cagey ladies” and being hard done by. Le Roux will re- mind you, in this their debut album, that music need not give you a mig- raine in order to be meaningful.

A challenged North comes up on top!

The& must be some- thing other than na- tionalism in “the true north, strong and free,” as the North Qiad of Village I, defeated the combined forces of East and South Quads, 3881 to 3706 at a Challenge Day last, Satur- day.

Seventeen twelve- person teams competed in eight evpnts. As there are far fewer women than men in the residence in the Spring Term, each team had to have at least two women.

The emphasis on Chal- lenge Day, organized by the Social Committee of Vil- iage Council, was on social activity and recreation, rather than the athletic in- tensity of Olympic trials.

The morning action saw teams competing in slow- pitch softball, volley-ball and frisbee tossing. After lunch and a spontaneous

- pep rally, the teams took to the fields and creeks for a tug-of-war, ew toss, seven-legged races, con- torted basketball tossing, and the grande finale - an obstacle course race on

Columbia Field and Col- urn bia Lake.

When the dust had set- tled over the battlefield, Team Seven from East Quad sneaked past the day-long leaders from North to capture the coveted individual team honours. A number of staff and faculty from the Uni- versity gave generously of their time to act as refer- rees and officials, and con- ‘Y, tributed immensely to the fun.

A Victory Banquet fol- lowed and the suppliant tutor from East, in serving dinner to the humble win- ning winning tutor, am- bushed him with -an enormous ’ cream pie. Natyrally, such un- sportsmanI ike conduct demanded like retribution.

The winning team was served dinner at the head table. A pub followed later in the evening, and there was almost unanimous ag- reement that, with marvel- ous weather the day had been great fun for everyone.

In due process, two of the judges were introduced to Columbia Lake.
