Lakehead University first signed a contract with the Canadian Council Art Bank 4 years ago. Prior to this arrangement Lakehead was filled with "lots of blank, dreary walls" says Joy Lawson, director of Student Services. During this first contract, one piece of artwork was stolen. but eventually retrteved and only a few were accidentally damaged . lawson stated that she was pleased with Lakehead students for appreciating and respecting the artwork. The works were replaced for the first time this past August with 80 new acquisitions, gtving Lakehead one of the largest collections of any Canadian university. The Art Banlc realizes that there is not often opportunity to show Canadian works in NorthWestern Ontario. Therefore the Bank was gen- erous enough to donate some pieces and offer discounts on others. Lawson is frustrated by thiS latesl theft at Lakehead. 'ibere is a lot of work involved for the consultant to come here." The consultant must review all the space. and co-ordinate the works in certain areas to provide an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. All of the art outlined in the previous contract had to be taken down. catalogued. crated and shipped back to the Art Bank.

November 14lh Ken Hancock held 2 seminars on the topic of "Men Agatnsl Male Violence·. Hancock, an ex-NHL player for the Chicago ~lackhawks. does not physically look like a "typical" advocate for women's rights. It was, however, during his time as a hockey player that Hancock began to feel ashamed of the Violence he and his fellow team -mates were causing. He came to the realization that no person has the rtghl to touch another in a violent manner. Hancock opened the discussion by describing the work of Men Against Male Violence. Groups of men Will partktpate in 6 walks across On lario begi.nntng in the Spring of 1992.-They are hoping to raise pubUc awareness as well as encourage men across the province to speak out agatnst violence. Mr. Hancock then shifled the foeus of lhe seminar. He stated that male culture worships war. and feels that the maiming and killing of Iraqi women and children was seen ~ a Victory. . . Hancock failed , however, to stale his group's views -on 'tema.le .• parUd paUon tn the Gulf War, a step which some women' teel l.s a forward move in the issue of women's rights. When 'questioned about this la ter, Hancock slated that war is still a male-dominated phenomenon and that women were merely exercjsingthei,r rights, nol sensationalizing the aclual war itself. On lhe homefront the violen(,'e is more personal. After T.V. football games, the phones at rape/assault crisis centres across the nation light up as men vent their anger not on the losing team. but on their wives/girlfriends/chUdren. Hancock also said a male walking away from a sexist comment/ Joke or a women In physical or sexual distress.is no dUTerent from the man that turned and left the room as 14 women were murdered in Montreal. Apathy, of course. was not an tssue ln this case. One male student who was forced out by gunpoint by the murderer romm.ltted suicide one year after the massacre. Hancock feels that some men don't find it worth It lo fight for women's equality with respect to Mminor" incidents such as sexist Jokes and harassing behavtour. He also noted that men tend to "talk away life". A NATO base in the north was oompletely shut down by Inuit women protesting on the runway against missile testing: they were tired ofwattlng for men to slop talking and begin laking actlon. Hancock finished th~ seminar by gtvlng some alarming facts. Women are the poorest people in society. Some men consider Violence against women, children and minorities as profound power. Canada led the world in arms supplies to the United States during Vietnam, including the making of napalm in Toronto. Some crisis shelters are bullt like fortresses to protect the women and children Inside. Crtsls centre workers are constantly confronted With shotguns by men looking for their Wives or gtrlfrtends. Hancock has been JaUed 60 times due lo his support of causes ranging from endJng the Vietnam war to Native rights. It was during these stays in Jail where Hancock found most of his courage from women. Hancock dosed his speech by saying that this Violence is not a women's issue: men are the cause of this Violence. it's their i.s sue. The crowd was left With lhls last thought: "'The final role call Is the role call of justice." Applications for September 1992 should be received by March 1,1992.

LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY BREAKING THE SILENCE Name Withheld by Request "Childhood sexual abuse is such an overwhelming. damaging, and humiliating assault on a child"s mind. soul, and body that he or she cannot escape emotional damage". • The Badgley report of 1984 "estimated that one in two females and one in three·males have been victims of unwanted sexual acts. and that 80% of those assaults occurred during childhood". A survey conducted by ~ An~les Times approximated nearly 30 million adults were sexually abused as children. Statistics from a 1991 article indicate 2. 5 million or one quarter of all Canadian wbmen have been sexually abused as children. the numbers are astounding and they are real. as real as your memories ifyou happen to be one of those so unfortunate. itis time to break the silence. You had your innocence stripped away when you were too young to understand what was happening. You may say: "I am an adult now it does not matter anymore··. denial Will not erase the impact of what occurred. The damage resulting -from childhood sexual abuse will escalate with time invading every facet of your existence. The abuse Will continue to affect: "self-esteem, relationships with others. sexuality. one's ability to be in relationships with others, sexuality. one·s ability to be successful. one·s ability to trust others. and physical health". until you remember and release both pain and anger. A vicious cycle has emerged through generations obscuring the truth about childhood sexual abuse. The ~rpetrators lie and deceive, silent partners an·d family members ignore it, and Victims repress it. keeping the victims imprisoned by their symptoms. The fact is that children are completely dependent upon adults, and a majority will vocalize what they sense the adults want to hear in order to remain under their dubious and faulty protection. The irony is those abused will grow into adults waiting for the next generation ·to project their insecurities and fears upon, thus continuing the cycle of abuse. The victimization must stop. do you not agree? The abuse was in no way your fault and you do not deserve to silffer the burden of silence. Each of you have been coping with the affects of your abuse far too long. it is ·ume t'o find a path lo recovery. The key to initiating the recovery process is to disclose what happened, this will deplete the abuse of its potency. Some of you may appreciate or desire the support of group therapy. others of you may prefer the privacy of individual therapy. After living in silence for so many years simply thinking about vocalizing what happened may petrify you, highly understandable. You have lo be strong. you have survived the most devastating part . now it is time to heal. You may not be ready to seek external aid. that is most understandable and acceptable. Do. however. read The Right to Innocence: Hea1Jng the Trauma of Childhood Sexual Abuse, by Beverly Engel. M.F.C.C .. a therapist and victim of childhood sexual abuse. Over the past decade the seven step programme outlined ih Engel's book has helped hundreqs of people recover from the damage of childhood sexual abuse. This book has been a significant asset for myself as I progress on a path of recovery. "THE DRAGON WITHIN" Looking back it is like a bad dream maybe if you tum over you will forget and sleep will return. Too much is happening however no longer can I sleep the memories of my past haunt me day and night draining my energy and depleting my will to struggle on. This morning I arose to a new day crispy as it was I skirted along the shoreline with a brisk west wind at my back drawn to seek the rays of sun on the east facing shore . The sun just cresting the tree tops provided little wannth yet I felt a shimmer of hope. Gazing out across the lakes' smface sparkling in the morning light I dipped my cloth into the icy water. . If only this simple task -of washing could also wipe away some of the pain and plaguing memories. I realize now admitting that it truly happened and facing the dragon within can be the only way to recovery. No longer must I permit it to subside , as a never ending nightmare. �The Argus Page 4 November 21, 1991 LEITERS RESPONSE TO A STUDENT PERSPECTIVE Tots letter Is a response to the editorial enutled "Student PerspecUvc- Why I'm not a Fcmtntst", unfortunalcly published In the Argus on October I0thofthlsyear. Inllght of recent accomplishments of the female students and faculty of this university within the past several years, such as the eslablishment of courses In Womens Studies. the Gender Issues Centre and the many contrtbutlnns of the National Womens Committee. It both astounds and appals us that a supposedly educated female associate even considered submitting such an unlearned edlt.orial for publication at this university or any other unlven,lty. We are In agreement with Ms. Doherty that feminism as a discipline Is Indeed diverse, and that It encompasses many variations In opinion and perspective. however, it should be noted that It I!'> In this diversity that feminism drnws Its strength. Ms. Doherty claims her editorial Is not lnh•ndc-cl to be "preachy", however, whether or not deliberate, her lettt--r Implies that women who art' active ambassadors of the "Womens Movement" are radical, 1mdestrabledevlants. Whydoesshe think women who try to create equality for themselves, therefore equality for men, are ·menhaters"? The "radicals" as she refers to them, as a group aredtvcrse In their areas ofstudy as well as perspective and do not solely focus on the topic of motherhood. as Ms. Doherty Implies. She focuses on the perspective of a select group of feminist theorists and generallzes these ideas to all feminists. We would suggest that she and all those who share with her this sad misconception take the time to browse the shelves of our new "Gender Issues Centre· and take the opportunl ty to become enlightened. If the purpose of Ms. Doherty's edllorlal was to express a concern or perhaps her opinion In rc:gard to the Issue ofdehumanizing motherhood, she should have clearly expressed such Intentions. It Is not the Intention of feminists, radical or otherwise to suggest In any sense that women who choose to stay at horn!" are less human, but rather to raise our consciousness as people ~to make us all, females and males aware of the pt"rvaslve sexist, classlst, racist attitudes- apparent and hidden In our society. Women are active members of their own destiny-feminists would like them to be aware of their options as Individuals so they can be controllers of their own fate. Ms. Doherty suggests that these "radicals" scare people away, perhaps It Is not these groups that scare people, but rather centuries of soctalization to accept oppressive conditions wtthoutquestiontngwhy. Toe October I 0th article Is filled with assumptions and assertatlons that are blatantly dangerous and false. Ms. Doherty and others like her arc deluding themselves If they think they are where they are because of their own efforts. Ms. Doherty do you really think you got where you are all by yourself?Thlnk again. The past weighs heavily In every step you take. Tolerance Indeed of other views whether radical or others should be exercised. One should not take one book, one point of view and generalize about all women, this Is not fair. One does not hide behind smug opinions and distorted assumptions, the real lssue Is equality for all, females and males, to live lives of dignity and not as slaves of a system which Increasingly dehumanp:es all our lives. Feminists as a group would not deny any human being, male or female, the pursuit of happiness, but rather would like to see women expand their horizons and to make the best choices regarding their Individual self. In conclusion, we believe that Ms. Doherty's editorial is not representative of the attitudes of the female students at Lakehead University. Fortunately there are views that are similar to our own which would like to learn a little more, to understand and become awareof the tnequalittes which surround us and a9dress these tssues, but rather thanJust talkabout It or try to hide away do something about It, and this begins with the individual. Suzanne Sutherland Ellaabeth Servello OUTPOST?? The Gage Canadian Dictionary defines OUTPOST as ·a settlement or village In an outlying place: an outpost In the North, a distant oulpostofclvlllzatlon. • Su basically, an outpost ls the last place one sees before stt-pptng off the end of the world. When we set' the tern ·outpost", we expect a wooden shack decorated with furs and snowshoes, dimly lit with oil lanterns and carrying the fragrance of cedar boughs which are sea ttercd across the floor. We do not expect to see a huge, high tech, steel and concrete structure. It seems high time we lay to rest the idea of Thunder Oay being so Isolated and remote. True enough, we are the centre of Northwestern Ontario, but the constant overuse of the ·outpost" theme ls.becoming tedious. It seems that by building a bar that would not be out of place In downtown Toronto we are trying to get away from this mindset. Unfortunately, there are enough students at LU to klll this revolution. Now. seriously, Is this a Joke? Are we going to wake up from this nightmare with a real name? Who voted for "Outpost" and why? The many students that we have talked to feel the same way. If It wasn't too late, we would make a pica for a re-vote. The original vote was apparently a secret to all those who don't spend all their time In the bar, and now that we have seen the consequences of poor voting wtth a re-vote sure there would be a more sensible outcome.

Students, staff and faculty are Invited to participate In a variety of ways. Anyone on campus can forgo lunch and donate the equivalent to Oxfam. A table will be set up outside the Main Cafeteria door. Information on the world food situation and some Bridgehead products will also be on display. For those who arc unable to skip lunch but still want to contribute, donations will also be taken at the table. Contributions can also be mailed In for those off-campus. Students living ln residence also have the choice of skipping the supper meal on November 15th, donating their meal plan equivalent to Oxfam through Versa Food Services. Those In residence wishing to participate should contact their House President for more Information. The focus of this fast Is both to promote solidarity with those across our planet who do not have adequate food and to raise funds for projects that help-address the situation. We recognize that giving up one meal Is In no way equivalent to what many people face on an ongoing basis without choice. However, fasting as an act of protest and solidarity has been a powerful tool for Mahatma Ghandl, anti-war activists and students In China. Native students used fasting to protest education cutbacks. In a world of plenty, It Is Important that we stop to understand why the numbers of hungry and malnourished arc growing. Issues ofland ownership, export crops, the Third World debt, and for distrlbu. tlon need to be addressed. We In Canada have an Important role to play both as a wealthy country anq a country that has a commitment to protection of human rights. Individually and collectively we can make a difference.

November 4th the new Gender Issues Centre presented a Seminar For Women On Date Rape. Last night (November 20th), The Outpost was "proud to present The Ottawa Grey Cup Jazz Train '91 featuring The Ottawa Sun Sunshine Girls". Looking ahead, on Sunday, December 1st a memorial for the fourteen women killed in the Montreal Massacre last year will be held at 7:30 PM in RB1042. One of these things is not like the others/ One of these things Just doesn't belong/ One of these things is not like the others/ Can you tell which one? Like it or not, a campus event featuring women who are pin up girls used by tabloids to sell extra copies of their papers sounds odd in context with the other two events. What we're talking about here are women portrayed as sex objects being welcomed in the student owned Outpost. You could argue that it is their choice to prance around in spandex tank tops and spandex tights and that it is your light to look, but considering that the Outpost is owned by the students of Lakehead -past, present, and future- of which many are disapproving women (and men incidentally) we should show more discretion in this matter. A lot of students plan their social lives around the Outpost and would feel excluded by an event of this nature. As one female student pointed out, 'What if the Chippendales were invited to perform on campus? How many males would feel comfortable in 'their' Student Centre?" The university as an institution and the students as a collective are responsible for changing the negative aspects of society, not condoning and welcoming them.

This use of women as attractions to an 'event', which many people believe is a reflection of women's second class standing in society, undermines and counteracts the purpose of Date Rape Seminars and examinations into the repercussions following Lepine's misogynistic motivated slaughter. Promoting the treatment of women as impersonal objects of lust leads to male perpetuated violence against women. On t he surface, the Grey Cup Jazz Train has just brought along a few -pretty faces to lead the cheers in Winnipeg. Underneath are currents that not only involve men looking down on women, but women looking down on themselves. This takes the form of-punishing diets. plastic surgery. and money spent in pursuit of some supposed ideal physical specimen that she reaches for in vain. Ex hockey player and feminist Ken Hancock mentioned that the switchboards at Rape Crisis Centres light up following professional sporting events. This startling correlation casts an even darker shadow on an event featuring pi:r:i up girls linked to a sporting event. Nothing against the CFL, they put a pretty good product on the field, but if your team loses a stressful game. don't take your frustration out on women. or anybody for that matter. It wasjust a game and there will always be next year. For a battered wife, or a slapped child, there will be a lifetime of emotional scars that cannot be undone. • If I seem off topic, it's only because I was trying to show how this 'innocent' event fits into a larger picture. I am positive that a sociologist could do a better job of this, but I hope my effort at raising awareness does not fall on deaf, indifferent, or trivializing ears.

Did you ever wonder what and AK-4 7 is for? Some might argue that this Russian assault rifle is a nice little collection, while others say that it's something to use while hunting. Some even say that tqey use it just for the fun of target practice. But why hunt with something capable of unloading 50 bullets in I 5 seconds? There will be nothing left anyways. It's not that there should be a ban on hunting rifles, especially in this neck of the woods. where many families survive on the meat that they hunt every fall. The issue is, do we need a gun collection in every home? Do we need people walking around with a weapon that was created only to spray bullets at multiple targets? Do we need semiautomatic hand guns that hold extended clips of I 7 or more bullets? No. we don't. It isn't a question of basic human rights, after all, it's illegal to own a bazooka or a flamethrower. You might say that these weapons are in separate categories, but they aren't. Both are weapons developed and used by the militruy. It makes one sick ~o see how some guy in Texas gets mad at the world and. in one incident, along with two clips of ammo. kills over 20 people, none of whom he's ever met. You might take the stance that it's a free country and we are allowed to bear arms. Well, folks, it seems that the Russians aren't coming anymore, so who do we need protection from? The only reason we might consider buying such a gtin is to' protect ourselves from our neighbors! · Television heroes. such as -rerminator" and "Rambo" glmnorize large guns that blow away hundreds of soldiers.

If you have youngsters around. with the preconceived notion that blowing away anything in sight is fun, you could find out how harmless it is to have those guns lying around. If you don't use them for hunting every fall, get rid of that · gun collection. Pressure your local MP to propose stricter gun control. It only takes one incident close to home to turn peoples· heads and git their attention. Why not plan a little ahead and do away with such weapons of war? With so many loose cannons running around, history is bound to repeat itself. We don't all have to learn things the hard way.

Fero The ladies volleyball team travelled to Guelph this past weekend and began the road trip with a less lhan expected effort. The lady Gryphons shocked the NorWesters on Frtday taking the match 3-0. The women came out flat dropping the first set 15-5. The team looked to be rallying in the second set, but lost 14-16. The third set was a washout 154. 'The ladies hit a wall." says coach Claude Lapre, commending the strong play of the opponents. It was a rough night as the Guelph defence blocked their way to victory over an out of control LU squad. Lapre went on to say the ladies didn't seem to be focused or pumped on Friday.

Badminton Derek Hatfield (corwenerJ Last week of badminton for this semester is on November 28th. All members are invited to come because this will be U1e last chance to place on the Singles Ladder and receive prizes. But playing on the road showed it's advantage to our team. It is because we have to play two matches in a row on weekends (other southern Ontario teams play one during the week and bus home for the evening) that we rebounded the following night. "On the road there is no place to hide ... the girls are all together, they can not avoid the loss." said Lapre of this unlikely advantage. The team had a series of meetings Saturday and had the opportunity lo change the game plan for the later match. The changes seemed lo reao the benefits. On Saturday the ladies regained their trademark steady poise and took the Guelph squad 3 sets to 1. The scores were 15-12, 8 -15. 17-15 and 15-11. The third set was by far the most crucial of the weekend. After dropping the second set the ladies regained their focus and held on lo the victory. The difference between the matches is clearly evident in the statistics. On Friday the team did not register a block in the three sets of play. On Saturday middle blocker Geraldine Bergmans had eight of her own. Power hilter KeJly Breuttgam, who paces the offence night after night had a sub-par evening on Friday with 13 kills, an effort which Lapre called "a night off'. Breuttgam shined on Saturday posting a magnificent -34 kills and 19 digs, a record this year for the team. The bench play of Kim Rubbra, Jenny Spence and Alyson Nichol was a key to the Saturday victory. as all the players showed character and poise for a young squad. This sudden shake-up came like a slap-in-the-face to the squad, and it came at a good time, and may possibly have salvaged their season. Coach Lapre wanted to remain unbeaten before the team had to play McMaster (Nov. 29-30). The Mac squad is strong and Lapre,views them as the team to beat. With a pair of losses versus Guelph it would have but immense pressure on the team to beat Mac twice. With the victory on Saturday it gives the team a little leaning space as far as Mac is concerned, but they still have to win most their matches lo gain top spot. Lapre and his coaching staff, as well as the team, and captain -Andie Aitken must be commended for their fine regrouping shall we say. this weekend. It will certainly be an exciting season for the ladies. Premarital Six Takes The Tit.le Again! by Cathy Boyle A successful season of Intramural co-eel volleyball came to a close last week, with the top four teams from each pool making the playoffs. The A pool finalists included 911 (9A). Up and Over(5A). Second Ed: (12A). and Balls In the Air (3A). The much stronger B pool had Premarital Six (7B). Over the Hill Club (3B). Educators (13H) and Individuals (148) as the top four teams. The playoffs ran three days and involved a doubleelimination tournament. Although 911 was ranked flrstJn their pool. they lost to the fourth ranked -indMdual team from Pool B in the 0rst round. l\ony Lavoie's good sportsmanship, after the first week. helped his team get to the finals. They were up against the tough Premarital Six learn who was headed by Mike Krassey. This team had enjoyed each night they came out and brought the fun into intramurals. until the FINALS!

What I am referring to here is the playing records from N.H.L.hockey, both old and new teams over the last. ten or fifteen years. Take for example, a perennially lousy team (hmm ... off the top of my head) the Toronto Maple Leafs. The days of Danyl Sutler, Bolje Sahning, the Happy Wanderer. and the great Moustached One (Mike Palmateer and Lanny MacDonald respectively) are distant memones. Let's face 1t. the team wasn't that hot then either. but at least fans had guys to cheer for. Season after season goes by, each beginning with promise, subsequently ending in heartache and headache. After sitting in the Norris Division basement, with a 5- 14-3 record, visions of a Stanley Ctip for Wendel and the Boys has vanished. Perhaps management does not realize that the 1992 entry draft does not include Elie Lindros. On the other hand, a perennially good team. (this one's easy). the Montreal Canadians. have had only one sub .500 season in 22 years. On the archway going into the dressing room there reads a sign 'To you with flailing hand we throw the torch: be yours to hold it high." And this magical torch of success has definitely been passed to capable hands. From Richard to Beliveau to Lafleur to Robinson to Roy, the Canadiens have masterfully executed a change from powerful offense to rock-solid defense without missing a beat. In the late l 970's they consistently had the best offence in the league, and spelled defense D-R-Y-D-E-N. In the 1980's they have not finished worse than third in goals allowed. and are backstopped now by the world's best all-around goaltender. Patrick Roy. The Habs possess the best goals-against and are overall point leader in the league so far, playing more games than most teams. while allowing 13 less goals. So what am I t.Iying lo say here? Well. lhese things will always be the same. The Leafs traded MacDonald and SitUer and continue to trade their future away. with guys like Vince Damphousse and Peter Ing playing elsewhere, and its not Harold Ballard's fault anymore. So what can be done to fix it? Who knows. Start by keeping key young players. Paying them a UtUe better would hurt either. And the Canadiens will remain the same also. By maintaining a tradition of excellence, and passing the Lorch to future stars John LeClair, Eric Desjardins and Mathieu Schneider, Les Habitants have many of Lord Stanley's cups in the near future. Nor , ·westers Run and Gun With a Pair of Canada's Finest by Ian T. Fero The LU men's basketball squad travelled to Winnipeg this past weekend and received a pair of losses, but a boatload of confidence. Facing off against both the University of Manitoba and Winnipeg University saw our squad playing a pair of teams which may have a legitimate shot at a national uttle. Coach Lou Pero claims that Manitoba will be ranked amongst the Lop four. nationally. and Winnipeg in the top eight when lhe polls are' released. _ On Friday the NorWeslers took to the floor against the Manitoba Bisons. The game was rather close with the team within 5 and six points at on time. The game slipped away as Pero utilized his bench. and the final saw the LU squad lose 88-66. Les Rag,guette had his finest performance of the year shutting down the Bison's all-Canadian player to 21 points. eight at the free-throw line ..Offensively Ragguelle hit for 31 points. Mike Lalonde also added 13 points to the Nor'wester cause. On Saturday the game with the University of Winnipeg was a lot closer. The team was within 5 points with under a minute left but unfortunately could not capitalise on their late bombs, while Winnipeg hit on all of their late foul • shots. Coach Pero says that the second half of this game was the team's finest of the young season. Pero also adds that the team has Jelled together very well. five players reached double digit scoring on Saturday. the frrst time since Pero began coaching that the feat has been done. The Winnipeg squad featured a seven-footer and a 6'8" player who starred for the Canadian junior team. The NorWesters shut down the big men on the Winnipeg . squad and fought their way to a stingy 94-83 defeat. Top scorers Saturday were Ragguette with 16 points. Lalonde with 21. David Pineau with 15, Chris Grace with 16, and Ray Foster had 11. FOURTH WRESTLERS AT BROCK The Lakehead Universitywrestling team won two and lost two dual meets the past weekend at the Brock University Invitational wrestling tournament and placed fourth as a team. The matmen started the tournament with a win over McMaster winning seven matches and losing only three. The semifinal match saw LU take on Western. Unfortunatelyour squad wasn't up to task. losing to the Mustangs 8 matches lo 2. With the loss the NorWesters were relegated to the consolation semi-final versus Queen's. The Golden Gaels provided little competition for our squad as they avenged their drubbing by Western taking 9 of 10 matches. The NorWesters thus advanced to theconsolatlonflnalagatnst McMaster. In a close match the LU squad lost by a final of 6 matches to 4. As a result the NorWesters claimed fourth spot overall. The Western Mustangs defeated the University of Guelph in the final to take top honours. Guelph was second. Mac third. LU fourth. Brock fifth. Queen's sixth. and RMC 7th. Pacing the LU attack throughout the tournament was rookie Kevin Wallen who '¥OD all four matches and sophrnore Mike "The Heat" Kitchen who won three of four.

This bittersweet comedy by the writing team of Leah Cherniak,Robert Morgan, and Martha Ross centres around a naive newlywed couple. As the play progresses we see the problems they encounter resulting from their lack of communication.and their differem;e in daily habits. The first act is very light and comic in tone and I was convinced this was going to be a rather silly, although enjoyable play. Ernest and Ernestine are blissfully happy, almost sickeningly happy, as they begin their new life together. After they move in together we see them try to deal with each other's differences in lifestyle. Ernest is a fastidious neat-freak who is always incredibly organized, while Ernestine is a sloppy.spontaneous person who is always late for work in the morning. They begin to irritate each other terribly but don't discuss their problems or communicate their feelings, so by the end of the act both are ready to explode as·a result of their bottled-up emotions. The second act becomes very dramatic and gripping as we are shown the darker side of the human psyche. In their monologues, Ernest and Ernestine tell how they have begun to hate each other, and we can see how their lack of communication has hurt them both. Ernest is disgusted by Ernestine's sloppy habits, and Ernestine complains that he looks down on her and is always judging her. This results in an intense scene in which the couple yell at each other and throw things around the apartment. I could really feel the hurt and confusion behind their words. This outburst seems to do them both good, and by the end of the play they have reached a reconciliation. Siobahn McCormick is perfectly cast in the role of the flamboyant Ernestine, although Michael Simpson, in the role of Ernest, tends to stand out more because he has the more humorous lines. His dance to Bruce Sprin~steen's song "No Surrender" is absolutely hilarious!! Glenn Davidson's set is very interesting and ef- fective. The main stage is Ernest and Ernestine's basement apartment, and there are places on either side of the stage where they deliver the monologues that present their feelings. I would say that "The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine" is one of the best plays I have seen at Magnus. It appeals on both a light humorous level, and also on a deeper philosophical level. It presents us with the difficulties and hard truths facing women and men in romantic relationships, and ..also points out that communication and trust are essential if a relationship is to succeed. I think "The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine" -is a play that everyone can identify with, and will find extremely entertaining. It runs at Magnus until November 30, so make sure you go and see it!!!! LAXDAL ON PROCRASTINATION by Brian Laxdal Well it is getting close to exam .time again and what does every hard working student do best at exam time? Procrastinate. Students prqcrastinate so well that any distraction proves more imp·o rtant than studying. So here are a few absolutly terrible movies that no one would normally waste their time with, but gain remarkable value as a time wasting tool while procrastinating'. Consider yourself a good procrastinator if you find yourself watching the whole two hours of the diaster known as "Bonfire of the Vanities" without once wondering why you feel noxious. Then you can move up to master procrastiqator status by skipping studying and watching "Dark Star" guaranteed to almost drive you to study, but hold your ground. Next move to procrastlnatorextraordinaire by sitting through "Henry and . 5 Top June" the first movie to receive an NC-1 7 rating for dull, dumb and dreary. If you can pass all these levels and still are procrastinating you are 011 your way to the final plateau. Grab some pop com out of your roommates hand and prepare to become the king of procrastination. This can be done by avoiding your responsibilities and sitting through "Jaws III : the Revenge" which has a angry shark following his prey to the Bahamas and ending up eating a helicopter. Now that' the ultimate in procrastination! Having achieved this level of procrastination their is one final recommendation to all the kings of procrastination at L. U. Should you wish to con- Unue to hone your craft, but are feeling the pull of studying to avoid failure, leave the house. You can waste more of your lime by heading to the theatres to see any of the drivel that has engulfed the city and feel satisfied that even though the movies suck you have fulfilled your destiny as the king of procrastination ... ·;=! &, - • wr--~•~ . . . .- i , RFASONS TO RENf GAMFB AT COMPUVIBION 5.

Nirvana's release "Nevermind" is a phenomenal album but don't be fooled by the Cultesque, native desert Buddhist heaven hype type imagery supported by their name, the reference is only passing and they certainly stand apart and alone from any Cult association. Nirvana's punk influences are self evident throughout _the .album. Three players pounding out somewhat surprisingly melodious pseudo thrash. The lyrics fit implicitly within the music, following and flowing like a brashly harmonious river of noise. The music maintains it's edge while at the same time being studio clean cut. Listen for the first track on the album "Smells Like Teen Spirit" I've heard it somewhere before and it ages well with the rest of the album. Dark and ambiguous, the lyrics pound the brain searching for explanation. For instance 'with the lights out it's less dangerous, here we are now entertain us, I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now entertain us, a mulatto, a albino, a mosquito, my libido, yay. yay, a denial, I'm worse at what I do best andfor this gift I feel blessed, I found it hard, it was hard tofmd, oh well, whatever, n.evermind'. (make of it what you will, this was but a taste). Look for speed on tracks like "Territorial Pissings", and "Stay away" bass innovation on "Breed", and some expression of musical ability on "Polly", "Drain You" and "Lithium".

CORNWALLCONCERTNUMBER36 . by Paul Acree Featuring Victor Schultz on violin and Erica Schultz on piano. I must admit two bias of mine immediately: first, violin is, Without question my favourite instrument; second, anyone who includes Beethoven in the program automatically goes into my good book. Having thus qualified this report, I shall attempt to remain as objective as possible. Well! Beethoven, right off the bat! Oh Joy (Ahem) seriously though, Victor Schultz reading of the Maestro's Sonata for Piano and Violin No. 5 Op. 24 ("Spring"), was both beautiful-and astounding: his mastery of the violin is phenomenal. I especially liked the second movem en t, "Adagio molto expressivo", but then I am a sucker for the slow sad bits anyway. I was Quite impressed by Victor's bowing, which was both efficient and dashing. L.U. Radio is now accepting volunteer applications for Radio Disc Jockeys No experience is required we provide full training! All we ask is a sincere desire to work hard to help your school radio station prosper! The violin has a histocy of colourful virtuosos and Victor is in that tradition, as much fun to watch as to hear. His Legate is charming, as well. One thing I did notice, and was not overly fond of was his tone. Victor has an especially bright colour in his sound while I'm 'partial to a darker. more "salt of the earth" tone. His violin is probably french or, more likely Italian in origin, though I personally prefer Hungarian violins for producing the type of sounds I'm talking about. Still, victor plays so wonderfully that his tone is entirely forgivable as a matter of personal taste in any case. Canadian composer Bruce Shaver's Exposition Folksong and Finale is a piece which demands the highest calibre of violinist and Schultz measures up admirably. The Exposition in particular is a wonderful platform for a violinist to display his technique and Schultz did just that: left hand plucking, harmonics, and double stops are only some of the skills which Victor displayed with such fiersome accomplishment that I feared the violin might burst into flame! Truly breath taking. Erica Schultz rejoined Victor for the last three pieces of the program: Legande Op. 17 by Wieniawaski; Suite Populaire Espagimole by Falla; and lastly the Carmen Fantasy Op. 25 by Sarasata. The Suite is a collection of Spanish Folk Songs, originally scored for the voice with piano accomplishment, arranged by Anyone interested can fill out an application available in the L.u.s.u. office The Lakehead University Radio Station is now in the process of setting up the L.U.

As one might expect, the violin lines were for the most part quite vocalesque. Due to the subject matter of these songs, which dealt with love lost, Schultz sang a bittersweet air, heartfelt and tender. One hates to abuse the word "beautiful" yet I can think of no word more appropriate. • Closing-the set with the Carmen Fantasy was perfect: as the opera Carmen is familiar to many. the themes Schultz played are like old friends, welcome and well met. Choosing such material for a finale is standard practice for good reason. it works. Next week a review of The Gents concert. Don's forget Vaughan William's Riders To The Sea and Puccini's Gianni Schich, two one act operas which are being performed in the University Centre Theatre on November 29th and 30th. tickets are only $8. 00 for students and are available at the Community Auditorium Box Office and • also at the secretaries .office at the Cornwall School.

Started in London, the company provided Brock students with excursions lo Florida during Rending Weck. The third ycnr Communications student has begun a petition complaining of services received from Front Row Tours cand has contacted the media on whal she considers to be a serious ~~ - - Complaints sh_e has compiled concerning Front Row trips to Oaytona and Fort Lauderdale include: excessively long_ bus trips; late release of discount cards to be used al local businesses in Flori,la; inconsistent prices; and travellers nol being notified of change of hotel accommodations until travellers were on the buses. Representatives of Frunt Row Tours say they have rccciv<..-J no complaints from Brock students about their trips. Fnmt Row admits some problems did exist, but argue this is only natural. IJc,pilc problem,, Sales Manager Jeff Johnson stated. "Our people were accommodated." Johnson and company owner Scoll Smith describe Melvin ·s complaints against Front Row Tours as a 'personal vengeance• against themselves. The three went lo high school together, but neither Smith or Johnson q,uld.cxplain why Miss Melvin would be personally allacking them. Mr. Jolinsnn is concerned Melvin is contacting the media about her complaints concerning Front Row without discussing her concerns with the Company itself. Mr. Smith stated Front Row were given the hotel room number of company representatives in Florida. If travellers. did not know where to find their representatives, he argues, they could have gone tu the front lobhy of their hotel and asked li.,r the master list to sec where their company reprcsentativ~ was. Mr. Smith daimed it was an 'outright lie " that he gave special deals lo certain individuals. He did, however, charge reduced fare for his friends . Eric Halls, for example, a student at Western University and a personal fricnJ of Mr. Smith received a twenty dollar discount on his room. He explained he had no qualms about this. Sales Manager, Jeff Johnson argues such 'deals arc commonplace in business operations. "It only makes sense lo me", he explained. Smith believed it was 1101 proper for Melvin to complain about reduced prices for some people, when she herself contacted Johnson asking for a price break. Miss Melvin's claim that Western f,x,thall players paid only $11XI for their trip is 'false·. slates Johnson. He docs nut sec Melvin's approach to the situation as being of bcnclit lo those who travelled with Front Row. As far as he is concerned. the company ha.< been left in the dark concerning her displeasure. They have as yet. he explained. received a copy of the petition Melvin is circulating among Western and Brock students. He is 'not sure what her intentions arc'. ReceipL< issued by the company have their toll free number which students can use if they have any problem with the com11any's service. He told the Press, you know more than I do about the situation.

A guest lecture sponsored by the Canadian Institute of International Affairs 1n1tiated intense dialogue last Thursday night in the lower lecture theatre. Dr. Sarah Klein from the Untversity of Toronto spoke on "Yugoslavia: Propaganda and the Civil War", concentrating on some of the "truths" which the popular media has been unable to adequately cover. Dr. Klein also commented on the political situations involved with the claims of independence coming from the states of Croatia and Slovenia. Dr. Klein specializes in Russian history and has accrued a wealth of informatton over her 20 years of study, recently completing a book on the subject. Close to one hundred people attended the lecture, very few of those being students. Some had direct interest in the conflicts of the civil war, either being direct 1mm1· grants from Yugoslavia or having family and friends in the count:Iy. Several outspo. ken University professors attended to take part in the discussion subsequent to the lecture. One of the ftrst significant actions by the government follOWing the takeover was the silencing of the press. Any condemnation of the conflict was seen as a traitorous enterprise. Antigovernment voices were crushed. As a result much of the war's coverage received in Canada ranged from untruths to outrfght lies. Information was often falsified in order to spread propaganda by the government. and as a result opinions and aWtudes on the conflict were oftenmalfgned. According to Dr, Klein, they still are. ·1 don't envy our diplomats involved with the responsibility of dealing with Yugoslavia", Klein stated, adding that the premature recognition of Croatia and Slovenia while conflict has still not settled was -not a wise, well considered foreign policy." Dr. Klein referred to the reported heavy bombing of Croatia, saying, "the truth about this kind of thing ts not going to come out for a while ,but you don't accept the version that ts given to youjust because it was there and convenient". She also expressed some measure of support for the Croatians. The confitct is based not only on the differences of culture and religion of the states, but also the ideological confitcts between communism and democracy. She said ..if the army was doing to Venice what it is doing to Dubrovnik the whole world would be up in arms and would come to its rescue". Ian Cro,kcll , CGA, Scnklc Vicc-Pruidcn1.

Toe government of Quebec maintains that the project would give Quebec economic independence and THE JAMES BAY PROJECT: ANATIVE PERSPEQIVE by Susan Kemp If the second phase ofthe James Bay Project goes ahead it could have dramatic implications for Quebec•s Cree. There is the possibility of mercwy poisoning damaging their fishing and hunting grounds.and this means that their traditional life and culture will be greatly affected. Vice-President of LU-s Native Students· Association.Linda Herny.recognizes the problem that the Cree are facing. She said that in Phase One of the Project.the Quebec government gave some of the reserves large amounts of money to compensate them for their loss.and this has made the reserves quite prosperous. Herny sees this move as "the governmenfs way of trying to do away with the native culture"· because.although the Cree have money to live. they will not be able to retain an important part of'their heritage. She feels the Quebec government is attempting to "assimilate the natives into the white culture" .in order to go ahead with the James Bay Project. stability. Environmentalists. backed by scientific study. argue that the project would effectively destroy the ecology of a large part of the northern heartland of Canada. Toe project would alter whole biological regimes through diversion of rivers and flooding of forest lands. Toe Cree and Inuit in the area maintain that the project threatens their cultural. social and economic well-being. Floodingo-of forest lands creates several biological problems including disruption of wildlife and their migration patterns (notably caribou). mercury poisoning of fish and humans, the potential extermination of the freshwater seal and the production of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of plant material in the reservoirs.

The meeting lasted sfx and a half hours, ending at 12.30am. Starting with l;J. report on the elections an all candidates meeting will take place on January 29 at noon. Due to a population change in the university, the number ofscience reps will go down by one, and the number of arts reps will go up one. COLLE8E STUDENTS MAY BE RESTRICTED FROM PUB Greg Beckford, LUSU rep for Arts, proposed Confederation College students not "enter our bar with their ... cards" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. All nonLU students would be signed in as the guest of an LU student. An LU student could only sign in one guest. Each guestwouldpaya$2.00cover charge which would go towards a Student Centre Contingency Fund. This would be in effect on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Debate lasted until the end of the marathon meeting, at 12.30am. Beckford argued that Confederation College students and residents oflhunder Bay have not paid for the Outpost, yet currently Con College students can walk in just by flashing their student cards. and an LU studentcansignin two guests. Beckford felt that Con College students occupy too much space on Thursday nights, and that because of this, many LU students who have paid for the bar are waiting in line. Beckford also felt DOHERTY APPEALS TO BOARD On January 9, Tom Doherty, a LUSU rep for Arts, had his privileges from the Outpostsuspended.Thatdiscussion took place in-camera. so the reason is not known. Last Thursday, Doherty appealed to the Board. asking them to over- • tum that decision. He apologized for what he had done. and admitted that he was in the wrong. JeffDockeray, the pub manager, accepted the apology. Doherty informed the Board that he had complied with LUSU's decision. A vote by secretballot was taken that would have rescinded that decision, yettt failed with sfxvotes for, thirteen against. 1?<?1:1~ ~!>~~~4-. ' that this would reduce vandalism, as each LU student would only be responsible for one guest as opposed to two. And ifthis is in place, then the line-ups to enter the pub will decrease. On occasion, lineups have become rowdy resulting in damage. Tim Fleguel and Robin Squires felt.tlus motion was financially irresponsible and would result in a loss ofbusiness ~eek. Tanya Tougas feared that this move may deter business from non-LU students all week and into the summer. when the Outpost ts/dependant on -their business. Beckford stated he was in touch with students and this proposal would be popular. He also said this would decrease tension that the current situation creates and thus "promote healthy alcoholism." When the motion came toa vote, there were fifteen Board members present. Fifteen is quorum, or the minimum number of reps needed legally. Squires, who opposed the motion, left, and Fleguel called quorum. Since quarum had been lost, the meeting was dissolved. REFUGEES PUB $70,000 IN DEBT This motion was followed by debate concerning the Mini-Budget. FMC has proposed an increase into many of the existing and some new items, including the phone budget for Cass Koenen, the radio station, the Gender Issues Centre. and a proposed climbing wall. The total increase for all items totalled $93,500. Debate went in circles. Some questioned the wisdom of spending money on these items when the Outpost was $70,000 in debt. Many felt the money should go to paying off debts now, whileLUSU is still able to. Tilis proposed Mini-Budget was referr¢ back to-FMC to be discusf(ed with auditors. In the executive reports. Ian Middleton stated that the Space Committee will re-examine the decision to close off theAgora from student sponsored events. The ECHO and Native Student events, that were previously scheduled, have been given the go-ahead. Then LUSU proceeded to debate a series of housecleaning motions, most of which passed. Karen Molly, a representative ofWorld University Services of Canada (WUSC), asked the Board to consider donating $6,000 to WUSC, which would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. The $6,000 would be paid over a two year period. Molly indicatedshehadapproachedDr. Robert Rosehart and the Alumni to donate a' total of $7,000. Pete George said he would like to see such a program to support Canadian students instead. Some members of the Board agreed. Financial Management Committee (FMC) indicated they could not support such a program if it was a "charity." Molly described WUSC as a "nonprofit" agency. Robin Sq~ said the program would be valuable in terms of experience. These students would meet our Canadian students and teach us about conditions (Continued on Page 14. See "REFUGEES") 1!;11 N.

A real assault rifle ts one that ts capable of firing at a rate that exceeds one cartridge per trigger pull or fully-automatic ftre. It can be a burst of three or so bullets. It has a high capacity magazine of highly reliable design and enviable construction. It has a ftn1sh that ts durable and matte, emphasizfng endurance over cosmetic appeal. It is constructed of top quality, supertor metals, alloys and composites. The sights are those of a rugged, easy to use vartetywtth quick pickup and easy of use 1n any light situation. These rifles are nonnally standardized into one or two of the main military cartridges those being 5.5mm, 7.62mm, 7.62x39mm, and the 9mm. Most of the NATO countries use either the 5.56mm, the 9mm or the 7.62mm whJle the Communist countries rely on the 7.62x9mm. The barrel ts about two feet long gtve or take. with total length at about four feet. They are designed to function in any climate with ease, they allow total confidence 1n their ability to function bang on. 1 To further your knowledge, I offer a short essay on the semiautomatic rifle. Ditto with the exception on the rate of fire. Toe so•called assault rifles that many people now buy are designed the exact same as the above with the exception ofvarious sears and millings in the-receivers of the guns. The versions of the military weapons that one can buy in the gun.shops can't, won't and cannot be made to fire at a rate greater than one shot per trigger pull. One can't buy them, legally. Obviously one can buy them illegally. like any other barmed or restricted substance. There lsnothingwrongwithhavinga durable, accurate ftreann 1n one's possession as long as one uses it 1n a responsible manner. All guns started as military assault rifles. The bolt action, being the most basic of all fl.rearms, was designed as a more effective alternative to the black powder rifles of days of yore. The same ts true of the assault rifle. It is streamlined, updated, efficient variation of the baste design. As everything escalates, so must technology. This new technology will be what the bolt action ts to the assault rifle in a matter of few years. AU guns aretncorporatedintotheshootingworldiftheydeliverwhatthe consumer wants, Just as in the market places for any other goods on the face of the earth. If 1t doesn't serve a useful purpose, that gun or other goodJs quickly replaced by something that does. Most of the legal porchasers of these guns buy theqi like the automobile lover buys a four wheer<irtve vehicle. Most 4x4's never see the dirt but when needed they perform their function without hesitation. Just as one would take a 4x.4 into rough conditions, many feel that a semi-automatic rifle or so-called assault rifle is the best bet for swamps, heavy brush, and other such obstacles. By getting the job done in all conditions, the semi-automatic rifle Wins kudos from the legal shooting pubUc. The look of It puts distrust into people who judge by appearance without considering what may be on the inside, sort of like how people treat one another. With a little education in the unknown, one can fonnuJate a logical. factual opinion of the derided rifle. The pleasure of these guns come from the sheer excitement of flrtng one of these pieces of craftsmanship. not in the idea that one can go and extenntnate a group of people. While once designed for that very purpose, they have evolved into a multi-faceted flreann that allows for multicondition shooting Without having to let the weather affect your hunt or target shooting. With safe, . supervised shooting these rifles will allow greatJoy and a feeling of delight. Shooting ts not the evil action that 1t ts portrayed to be, with shooters coming from all walks of life. It ts not a question of controlling guns, but of controlling people who abuse their prtvileges of using the guns. Society as a whole needs more stringent laws in the prosecution of those that have no respect for the humanity of others. Don't ban the gun, ban the crlmtaaJ who uses the gun with long mandatory jail time, hard labour, and other sorts of punishment that flt the crtme. Common sense is the best way of avoiding the loss of shooting privileges. Don't point guns at people. Don't touch guns if they are not yours. Use your mtnd and words to settle disputes, not your gun{s). They are not toys, therefore keep them away from children. Remember these few rules and no one will a:et hurt. W.

In this matter, LUSU ts the only organization on campus that can claim to represent the students. Therefore 1t ls the only organtzat:fon that is directly accountable to the student body at Lakehead. For the most part, LUSU ls accountable and accessible. Board meetings are open to everyone (though only 2 or 3 non_!.,USU people take advantage of this opportunity, including one Argus reporter). : But strangely, the occasion arrives that someone on the board moves to go "in camera" to discuss a certain issue. What does "ln camera" mean? Basically, LUSU shuts It's doors to the public, 1.e. the student body, and discusses 'sensitive issues! 1n privacy. Only LUSU executive, board members, and usually employees are prtvy to what ts said during the "in camera". Once they come "out ofthe camera", no one who participated in the meeting ls allowed to reveal to any other person or member of the media what occurred while "in camera·. Where la the acco1D1tablllty to the students who own the corporation of LUSO? What has happened to the people's "right to know"? Although we're not calling for the complete end to the practise of "in camera" meetings, we think that they should be limtted. We11 start wtth the circumstances in which LUSU usually goes "in camera": 1) staff salaries 2) An investigation of a staff member, a member of the board of directors, or a student that could potentially hann the integrity of the person. 3) Anything deemed as a corporate decision, 1.e. decisions regarding which business to deal wtth etc. Regarding this list 1t is obvious that "in camera" meetings sho~d not be banned completely. Staff members, i.e. the·pub programmer etc. have a right to privacy considering their income. Staffand student investigations probably shouldn't be disclosed either. But that ts where the line should be drawn. What about members of the Board of Directors? Hypothetical Case# 1: Let's say that a board member insults a staff member, and an inquiry ts deemed necessary. As an elected official, that board member's actions should be revealed 1n the public. forum. It ·ts true that the member ls innocent until provengutlty. Thus if the member ls exonerated, the member's integrity has not been threatened since they have been c~eared of all charges. But if the person ls found guilty, all of the details should be available to the public: in the meetings, and (hopefully) subsequentlytn the.Argus. It bolls down to the public's right to know. Hypothetical Case #2. Let's say a corporate decision ts being •made regarding which travel company LUSU should select. Of the three companies, two offer a free trip to one tour guide. while the third offers free trips for two tour gutdes...,lbe third also offers a higher price per student. Shou!_d nottbf!S~detatls that influence the board's final dectston ~-a'vailao!efo students? ln•camera meetings may prevent students from being aware of these types of decisions. In other words, how do we know tfLUSU is truly acting in the best interests of students unless we know what factors were considered tn reaching a conclusion. Students.who elect Board members will never know if the LUSU Board abuses the privilege of in-camera meetings because we never know what has been discussed. WSU uses •Robert's Rules of Order" to maintain a systematic and Democratic way to run meetings. Closing off these debates to the public by our elected officials is like closing off Parliament. Does this seem fair? Even past Board members have questioned the use of in•camera meetings, wtth one former Board rep describing discussion durtngtn-camera meetings as "frivolous." I Invite LOSU memben who diaagree with th.I■ statement to write a letter defending the use of "In camera" meetings In regard to Board Member Discipline and Corporate matters. I also invite students from the general population to write and tell us whether or not you feel that matters of this nature should be kept in the public forum. Before I close, I would also like to suggest that a nonmembers of the Board such as Judicial Committee reps or some other person act as an arbitrator who can sit in on "in camera" meetings and decide if all things being discussed are really relevant to the reason the board went "in camera" in the first place. It would be the arbitrator's responsibility to reveal the subject matter of all unrelated digressions made followtng the meeting. Of course, then 1t would be necessary to have a written policy available for the circumstances in which a meeting ts to be made "in camera" and the speclftc topics which may be withheld from the public. 'lbis would guarantee that LUSU only went "in camera" for legitimate reasons. Basically tt would be a self poUdng mechanism that would prevent potentially arbitrary use of the "in camera· device that no Board :bc,,:.,.•~~~!f E?~F:~5i:::~:;,. �'' FROZEN STIFF" J\L 92 WINTER SEE LUSU THE OUTPOST FOR MORE INFO I Help Build The World's -LARGEST SNOW ANGEL 1, THURS.

It should set up a programsfmilartothe Crime Stoppers"'program in Thunder Bay. and call it Cheat Stoppen. Here's an example of how it would work. An anonymous letter recently recieved at the Argus suggested that some students in Engineering were cheating on tests and exams. Assuming that the author of this letter was truthful. it's probably safe to assume that cheating on tests is occurring in other disciplines besides Engineering. "Yeah. so what?" you're probably thinking. I can't believe you thought that! Cheating is a blight. a d1sease that, if left untreated spreads uncontrollably into the veiy fabric of this nation. "I find that hard to believe." you're saying to yourself. Well, it's true. Cheating on tests is not so bad, but it progresses to other teITible atrocities. Pretty soon a test cheater cheats on his income taxes, brings goods across the Border without declaring them, fabricates. stories about Sudbury doctors and calls Liberal MPs 'fornicating fatherless children' (alooseauotaUon) and then denies it.

Most agree that since Law was closer to Johnson h1s guess is closer to the truth, but the controversy just adds to the legend.

I had almost fifteen readers come up to me over the course of the week - the most response I've ever recieved - and all of them said that the last column was Just great. My answer - they're all great, it's Just that some appeal to more people sometimes. I'm sorry - I Just can't resist honking my own horn! Anyhow, on the Outpost tip - a few new DJs have gone to work there, so check it out...tunes go out from Monday to Saturday... a good mght to check things out might be a tuesday or wednesday, because I've heard that the new guys have some hype old stuff that isn't played too much any more ... as in rock and roll. (Gosh, I can't believe I said that!) As forThursday and Friday...well, I'll leave those interpretations to you. I got my fingers burned but good the last time I decided to voice my opinion! So much for freedom of expression... Well, Ijust plain don't got anything interesting to talk about this week, so I guess I'll Just leave some open space for someone else to write in!

Law returned to his hotel, and later that evening received another phone call, this time from Johnson. Law asked him what was the matter, Johnson replied ''fm lonesome." Confused, Law pressed -You're lonesome? What do you mean your lonesomer Johnson explained "I'm lonesome and there is a lady here. She wants fifty cents and I lacks a nickel. Stories like that have made Johnson the legend that he is today. Artists like Cream and Led Zeppelin have covered songs like "Crossroads" and "Travelling Riverside Blues". After all it was Johnson who had his lemon "squeezed.before Roben: Plant! His songs are veritable classics, "Crossroads Blues", "Me and the Devil Blues", and "Hellbound on my trail". and he received a few hundred dollars for the recordings. Goodmoneyfortheday, but promptly blown on women, leaving him even more depressed, as told in the song "Walking Blues•. Johnson's popularity has neverbeenbfgher, fora two disc collection released in 1990 dipped into the top 100 in the billboard charts, and voted the ninth biggest surprise of 1990 in the music business. If Blues is considered the father of Rock and Roll, and Johnson is the kmg of the Mississippi Delta blues, among such artists as Maddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Charlie Patton, then Johnson should be hailed as a pioneer of rock and roll, however indirect the connection may seem. �The Aigus Page 9 Januacy 23. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~~~~~~~~iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.iii-"~ HOMOSEXUAL OUTING SHOCKS COMIC WORLD Over the past decade the comic book industry has under gone profound change. a revolution of sorts in both quality of product and content.

Fero Veteran Kelly Williams bas quit the volleyball squadasofWednesday. It is presumed that Williams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year playerJo-Anne Hood. WOUams follows the progressing new lead among varsity volleyball players. after the team lost two players. Covie Chaluptak and Sandra Bactc in the second term last year and Elisa Peterson at the begttmtng of this term. Peterson however has left the team to concentrate on academtc endeavour. Head coach Claude Lapre moved W11Jtams from setter to the off-side posiUon saying that he wanted to institute a more offensive attack. "We wanted to focus on having a quicker, more aggressive offence ... Kelly is very conservative and not vi;.~ ~.Qµft,Qt~Jt \\!t,Ut this new~. offence." said Lapre who also went on to state the Williams bad some immediate success at the off-side at the Carelton Invitational and in Friday's match versus Windsor.

Joining Breutigam in the power exhibtuon were Windsor's Jodi Beaugrand, who had 24 kills, and Kenee M1ch1els who added 23, a career best. LU I played very well, having to rally and beat the Windsor squad with defence. Team captain-Andie Aitken had 17 tough dJgs_. ev.en going tnto the stands for a couple balls. The following night the lady NorWesters took the match. by again wtnn1ng by the same 3-1 set score. Breutlgam led the way with 24 kills, 17 digs and 4 aces. Aitken added 6 kills and 16 digs. The team played great defence making only 16 mistakes 1n the whole match. Kim Rubbra played a great match subbing in for Williams who didn't have much success Saturday. Jenny Spence started for the first time this weekend and did a great job slowing Beaugrand who had only 20 kills Saturday. Geraldine Bergmans provtde a solid wall, and while she didn't score stat1stlcally, the best blocks were the ones she didn't make. forcing the Windsor hitters to make weak shots. Jo-Amle Hood also showed some quality play in place ofWflJtaros and showed signs ofbetnga natural at the setter position. The wins leave LU alone on top of the OWIAA West with McMaster as the other teams seem to be beating themselves Into sub .500 records. The team ts off to Waterloothisweekend, ifthey sweep playoff action will be assured. LI.Fans Banked Only Second In The l'nnrlnca It has been officially announced that LU only has the second best fans In Ontario University play ranking behind Guelph In a recent poll by CHCH 1V of Hamilton who televises the weekly OUM game of the week. ·The announcement come at a time when the LU fans seem to be joining the wave of apathy around campus. The fans Just don't seem to be with tt this season. It began during the exhtbltton games and has now spread In to conference play. No longer do we find the once common chants such as •sn down coach•, and at tlmeswe are lucky 1f fans raise a finger when our team ts shooting our foul shots. I don't know what ls happening this }":ar, I was so happy to go to a game to get In to the action, we used to have an sixth person advantage. It must be told that the banishment ofthe fabled Thunderstorm has done a lot to diminish splrtt amongst fans. The ClAU and the OUAA referees have recently vowed to enfon::e the rule which gives ourteam a technical foul after theThunderstonn. However measures to sneak around this ruling are already In the planning stages and may be In place for this weekends match versus McMaster. So the bottom line Is, are we number two or number one. I believe we -have the potential to become number one but we have to turn things around soon. If there are some crazy fans left let's see you out this weekend. Pots and pans, horns, and any noisemakers are optional but they can only help. This ts a true article, the following are a reminder of LU Thunderdome courtesy calls and actions: 1) at the beginning ofeach match every fan should tum away when the visiting team Is being Introduced. 2) when the opposing coach stands up the chant ·su down coach• should follow Immediately. 3) when our team Is shooting foul shots each fans shall raise their hand and wave It and yell •swoosh" when It goes In. Remember, It used to be commonplace, well It may come back this weekend. Lets get out and gain pack our sixth person advantage. CP'S SPORTS EATING Havtng heard of the Canadiens' supertor record at the all•star break. i've come to realise that cheese curds - so prevalent in Montreal - should be a united Cattada't national food symbol. No more cheesy distinct society: let's all grab a hold of the curd. �SPORTS Baskethall Teanas S-weep Windsor Wemen The LU womens basketball team walked all over their host Windsor squad last weekend. The ladies dominated winning by the scores of 77-62 Friday and 83-48 on Saturday. The victories come via a hot shooting performance by the entire team, hitting a whopping 53% from the field on Saturday. The ladies were paced by Pam Leitch who seemed to have shaken her shooting bug by putting down 44 points in the two contests. Leitch wasJoined by teammate Kathy Harrison who scored 23 on Saturday. Barb Hill also had 15 on Saturday. The team played very well as all team members saw action and made a soUd contribution. The score on Saturday. as lopsided as it may seem, only had LU up by 10 at the half and head coach Stu Julius insisted he wasn't trying to run up the score. The next three weeks will bring the toughest competition to the front. LU will play McMasterthisweekend and can't afford to drop a game. It likely won't happen though as LU brings a three year conference home undefeated steak in to the games. (I hope I didn't jinx). Currently the LU ladies are ranked #7 in the country with a 14-6 overall record with their only losses coming to the teams ranked in preceding 6. The team is tied for first place in the OWIAA Westat4-0, here's a look at the standing as of Jan.22. Womens Standings Westem(S-0) Lakehead(4-0) McMaster(2-2) Brock(l-3) Waterloo( 1-2) Guelph( 1-2) Laurier( 1-3) Windsor(0-4) Men The LU mens basketball team followed the lead of the womens team and took a pair of games in Windsor this past weekend. The men dominated their Windsor foes to bring their conference record to 3-1 and put them into a tie position with Guelph and McMaster. Leading the charge was second year point guard Peter Brown. Brown has asserted himself in the NorWester Uneup getting more and more confidence with each game. Brown has been pushing the ball up the court fast and distributing the ball well. The quick Brown gives the team a new look. Also Mike Lalonde had a great weekend scoring 33 pts. and 26 rebounds over the two games, earning h1m an athlete of the week nomination. Brian Norland put in some quaUty time and so did Chris Grace. It finally seems as though the teamiS beginning to show the depth it promised at the beginning of the year. Perhaps the most important aspect of the mens game is their defence. The NorWesters rank# 1 in the conference in defence, only allowing an average of 69.5/ppg. Ray Foster has been brilliant defensively and has teamed well with Lalonde to wipe off the boarai, The temn hM five players averaging over 10/ ppg not including shooting ace Dave Pineau who has run into early foul trouble this season. The team has played all the toughest competitors and as coach Lou Pero adds "are not afraid of anyone." Odds are this team will have their run before the season is over.

Osburn-Seyffert Senate committee on Teaching and Learning c/o School of Education Cheap Seats by Simon Cox You know it, I know it, and I thought that it was obvious to eveiyone. Hockey fs the greatest game in the world. Evidently, something fs very wrong with a sports popularity poll conducted in the United States a short while ago that ranked hockey 40th in popularity. Granted, this is just American opinion, but I didn't realize that more than thirty or so sporting actMties existed. Following will be reasonswhyhockeyfs better than three popular sports. Time and space limits keep me from comparing sports such as Roller Derby and Rhythmic Gymnastics, which also ranked higher in participation than hockey. Hockeyfs betterthanbaseball because... -Only four out of twentysix teams make the playoffs. Players do not seem to care though, although I wouldn't either for $5 million a season. -Baseball has no time lfmit. Pitchers and management control the speed of a game which fsaveraglngthree hours in length, and sometimes much longer in extra innings. Baseball fs much too boring to 1tay 1.wak@ that long, -Managers wear uniforms. Take a look around the majars. Some of those old farts shoe-horned into those tight _ polyester suits looks. rtdiculous. They make Robbie Ftorek's sweaters look good. Hockey ts better than football beca~~,,, -Football teams only play one game a week. What fans and players do the other six days is beyond me. How long does it take to hype yourself uptothrowon20lbs. ofequtpment and hurl your body toward someone wearing the same? -You must weigh at least 250lbs. to play football. This could only mean that players spend six days a week eating. -There are too many timeouts. Having 8 or 10 timeouts per game gives the quarterback power to make that big play and move the ball l 00 yards down the field in 5 or 6 seconds. -Watching football can be like watching paint dry. Hockey fs better than basketball because... -You have to be seven feet tall to play basketball. You're completely screwed if under six feet anyway. The only exceptions are Spud Webb, and local sports hero Peter Brown. -The last basket always wins the game. Why not just have a jump ball, and let the first team that scores win? -Basketball is monotonous. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. There fs little doubt in my mind that hockey fs the fastest and most exciting of all sports. Hopefully, expansion into San Jose and Tampa (both HUGE American T.V. markets), can greatly increase the popularity of hockey. It should then be more popular than thrilling Syncronized Swimming or the capUvattng Dresage. �• -~ j i. The Argus Page 13 January 23, 199~ Ig SPORTS . . ' Super Bowl 1992 Official Predictions ~~~ :@ *:::~ ~-~ till f:.':1 ::t: ,,:;!;;.. ! ft I I mt ~~ II I :&¥. RC dS ki flS Last year this sports sage predicted that the Buffalo Bills would end a seven year drought and beat the 49ers to win Super Bowl XXV. Two things went wrong. 1) The Giants beat the 49ers. Fine I thought, then the Bills will Just have to beat the Giants instead. They did look unstoppable against the Raiders. Also I couldn't see Thurman Thomas coughing up the ball in the dying minutes of the game like Roger "Call Me Sammie Smith" Craig did. 2) The Giants played flawless football. They had to. They had no choice. But still they won the game by a single point and that's all that counted. The Bills were the team of 1990, but the Giants deserved to win the title game. It'sanewyear. I'malittle older, hopefully wiser, so I'm going to take inevitable choice and pick the Redskins to win Super Bowl XXVI. How can I go against the emotions, the revenge factor, the odds of eight straight NFC victories that should inspire the Bills? The Bogs... They allowed ninesacksallyear.Theyhandled the awesome Eagles. They handled the Giants, the Oilers, the Bears. Jeny Ball. They give Rypien the time he needsandtheygivethebacks the blocks they want. They can neutralize Bennent, Smith, and Wright, the only defensive weapons that the , Bills really have. Defence wins. The Hogs won't let the Billsmakethedtfferencethat they did against the Broncos. Joe Gibbs ... Two or three new plays per week, the best playoff record among active coaches, Super Bowl expertence. This man is a factor. The Posse ... Tin-ee receivers that make Reed, Lofton, and Beebe look weak. Blair Kiel could quarterback this team to a Super Bowl. The Running Attack... 1bree runningbacks that give the Redskins the most versatilerunningattackin the NFL. Teamed with the Hogs, the undersized Bill line will suffer. TheDanelGreen... Hecan cover Andre Reed one on one all day. Allowing the Skins to tal favourite because they're the underdog, and they've never~won the Super Bowl. They've got a chance, especially in the climate controlled speed turf conditions of theMetrodome,butlstillcan't see it as anything more than a close game ... at best. It will beamoreexcitingSuperBowl thanlastyearminusthethrilling ending. Redskins by 10. P.S. Scott Norwood won't miss anything from 45 yards or less on Sunday. But if he does, he's gone (unless the Bills win). TG Belrose B1•11S Da Bills! yes that's right folks this NFL guru is taking the now 7 1/2 point underdogs to sip the champagne in '92. Contraiy to the popular belief of the bandwagoners the Bills can compete with the Redskins and win. Here's why: 1) The Bills have Jim Kelly, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas to lead the offence. The hottest offence 1s ready to strike and the 'Skins defencewUl be double cover Beebe, Lofton, the \fleUm. Th@ Blll8 ne@d to or even Thurman Thomas. At thirty, still one of the finest cornerbacks in the NFL. He did hurt himself against the IJons,butheisalikelystarter. TheBillsarethesentimen- get Thomas out of the blocks on the ground. If he can get some quality gain on the ground Kelly may not even have to air it out. WhJle the Redskin defence 18 good vs. the run Thomas is a big game performer (see Super Bowl25).IfThomasisshowtng little gain on the ground then look for Kelly to give him a few screens, Thomas' speed on the outside is unparalleled in the NFL with the exception of a certain #20inDetroit.ButlikeSanders. Thomas has the explosiveness to swing wide. If therunandthescreensdon't work look for Reed, and James Lofton to figure. While the 'Skins boast one of the best DB's in Darell Green, he alone can not stop the muchbiggerReed.Adouble team on Reed will leave Lofton alone and-he can beat a smaller man one on one, butnotformorethan 10-15 yds. Kellyhas the poise and talenttooutsmarthiscounterpart Rypien, and his abilltytoscramblegtveshiman important advantage. 2) Buffalohasarguablythequtckest front seven in the NFL. Led by superstar-in-themaking Cornelius Bennett the B~ defence can shut down the Redskins offence. Whenfanslookatlastweeks l 0-6 victory over Denver all they see is the 10 the scored, not the 6 they allowed. They shut down the Broncos, and their 1,000 yd. rusher GastonGreen.Theywereon Elway all day, and Bennett cut down any rushing play even on his opposite side. The Redskins don't even have c 1,000 yd. back, need I sa) more. As far as the air attad goes for the 'Skins, l~t me tel you something... there ain'1 going to be one if the 'Skim don't establish a runntni game. Look for the Posse o. Sanders. Monk and Clark tc gain some short yardage quickouts. The middle is toe solid, and the three will pay i they come inside, with the likes of Conlan and Talle) covering the middle. Buffalc will have their DB's play close, bump-and-run style, while the safetys will play deep tc prevent the bomb. The key tc stopping the pass is to onl) allow the short one, if the coverage ·is good downfteld the 'Skins will have to take the quickie. Oh yes, one fellow I forgot to mention is Bruce Smith. Look for Snµth to provide his presence on the pasi: rush. Unlike the Lions, the Bills will get to Rypien, or at least rush him, one or tw~ team sacks maybe. 3) Tht Bills have Norwood. Suffer~ Ing for a whole year, Norwooc has made it back for anothea shot, and as much as I have bashed the 'Skins this will be a close one. Look for Norwood to boot the winner. 28-27 Bills in a thriller! ,, i Ian T. Fero ~ I! I I 'I l:f! -i· LUSU ELECTIONS llJfilJ fXfCUIM RfCOON~ ff~ 4AND ~ . ·URI 'Eff ".-.

"We tell them what is available but we cannot offer anonymous testing right now," said Gail Grier, a nurse at the health service. Grier said the health service could not do anonymous tests - -where a patient 1s· not required to give their name or healthmsurancecard - through the lab they currently use. Toe health service is afflliated with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital of Montreal and they use its bacteriology lab's services. R. Murthy, the assistant chief teclmologlst at the bacteriology lab at the Queen Elizabeth, said they do not do anonymous tests. 1be test must go through a doctor and the doctor is responsible and must lmow the name of the patient although we can be given a number or another name," Murthy said. Toe test is paid for through Quebec health insurance, and so any doctor ordering an HIV test for a patient requires his or her health insurance number. 1hebesttheservicecan do is offer a confidential HIV test, which means information must be recorded in the trt;udent's medical file. • "We try not to be too explicit," said Grier. "We will write that a student received sex education or STD and HIV counselling in their file." However, if that student decided to go ahead with an HIV test after counselling, it would be in his or her file. And the existence of written information showing either positive or negative results could mean problems REFUGEES (cont'd from pg. 3) in their countries. Many agreed. Middleton told the Board thatflnancfallyitwas no problem. With the number of students at LU, the program would cost $0.50 a student. He :also indicated that LUSU generates more than $6,000 on vending machines and video games. And since LUSU already offers bursaries, then this proposal ts quite reasonable. , Greg Beckford was concerned with finance. He said it wo~d be naive to assume many. students would meet these refugees and downplayed the experience value. He said there was no profit in such a program. He then questioned how he could justify to his constituents that their$75 student fee went to charity. The motion to donate the moneywas tabled until January 30. for that student. Ron de Burger, director of the AIDS Education and Awareness Program of the Canadian Public Health Association in Ottawa, said that when it comes to HIV testing, people are concerned about confidential information getting out. 1bere have been a couple of cases in Canada where somebody's name inadvertently got out of the system," said de Burger, citing the Nova Scotia school teacher whose positive HIV test results were discovered by his employer. "He's out of a Job and he can•t get back into the classroom." Toe results of a breach of conftdent1altty can be grim but Concordia students and others in the Montreal area who want an anonymous HIV test can get it done at two centres in Montreal - the CLSC Metro or the CLSC Centrevtlle. (Local community service clinics are called CLSC's in Quebec.) Marlene Yuen-Boyer, the co-ordinator of the AIDS Intervention Centre at the CLSC Metro, said the idea for anonymous testing originated in the United States where they Just wanted to "get the people out to be tested. "In Canada, Quebec was the first province to bring in anonymous testing," she said. There are five anonymous HIV testing centres in Quebec, including the two in Montreal and one each in Sherbrooke, Quebec City, and the Outaouais region. And although the Ontario government announced plans two weeks ago to spend $600,000 on several new test centres in the Ottawa area, Ontario has only one anonymous testing centre in Toronto.

CAMPUS RAPE TRIAL SPARKS ANGER (Source: The Varsity) by Krishna Rau TORONTO (CUP) - In the wake of a December acquittal in one of Canada's first campus date rape trials, women's groups say univers1Ues must take far stronger action. · Robert Van Oostrom, a graduate of Queen's University, was charged last fall with fo1,1r counts of sexual assault against three women between 1987 and 1989. Van Oostrom was a Queen's engineering student at the time, and all the complainants were Queen's students. The women testified that Van Oostrom ignored their refusal to have sex. Van Oostrom testtfted each of the women consented to sex with him. Women in Kingston staged protests after the decision, which the crown ts appealing. Toe crown attorney has since been criticized for saying the judge in the case refused to recognize the seriousness of date rape. Women's groups said the decision could make it even harder for women who had been raped by an acquaintance to go to the police. "Women aren't going to come forward if they think their trials are Just going to be thrown out, anyway," said a member of the Queen's Women's Centre. But other groups felt the extensive coverage of the trial and the actions of the crown might prompt more women to come forward. ' "In a situation like this, we would. encourage women to report date rape or assault," said Susan Bazilli, the legal director of the Toronto-based Metro Action Committee on Public Violence Against Women and Children. '1he crown attorney and the prosecution were very supportive." 1be publicity around the trial might make university administrations recognize that they have a lot of work to do. "They can't tum a blind eye to it. They have to take responsibility for what goes on in their own community." Susan Addario, the University ofToronto's safety officer, said universities have to take notice of the attitudes of Jud~ and others within the legal system, and work to change them. "I'm not saying they Oudges) are neanderthals, misogynists or dinosaurs. They Just haven't heard about the experiences of women. 1be university should be wondering whether we should be taking an active role in Judicial tratntng." She said universities have to decide whether they want to entrust assault cases to the legal system or deal with them internally. . But she said universities sttll have a lot of thinking to do about how to handle such cases. "Do we want to take people who are engaging in sexually abusive behaviour and exclude them from the community? "Do we want to ask them to do some kind of community work which would heal in a more psychic way?" Bazill1 said the recent media spotlight on rape trials might force universtttes to make those decisions. She said the Van Oostrom trial, as well as the Will1am Kennedy Smith date rape trial in Florida, and the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision to strike down the "rape shield" law illustrated the need for more action around sexual assault. "Sexual harassment policies are now part of the policy structure of most universities. Let's take that one step further with sexual assault cases." NEW CUP MEMBER RUFFLES REFORM PARTY FEATHERS (Source: The Muse) ST. JOHN'S (CUP) - A Reform Part of Canada member is pushing the student newspaper at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College to apologize for an article about the party entitled "7 Up. Good Head, and Neo-Fascism". The article appeared in the December issue of Queue as a report on an RPC organiZing meeting. Agnes Fitzpatrick's lawyer has sent a letter to the college's board of directors, demanding an apology from the author, Queue and the college. Lynn Cole said her client "found (the article] to be inaccurate in its description of the party, and offensive in its vulgarity ... Cole said the use of the term "neo-fascism" in the headline was "inaccurate and its connotations offensive." The article also made a number of factual errors about statements by _ Fitzpatrick, and it accused the party of being anti-Newfoundland and anti-French, Cole said. The staff has refused to apologtze and has offered the party an opportunity to respond in the paper. • .. . . . • •• ◄ - · · • ·- - • �1be Argus Page 15 January 23. 1992 CLUB NEWS ORSS -· Lu --ACT Hey!

Peter George 11 BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS l88UES The two Issues that stand out in my mind are: a) Provincial cut back in education transfer payments. b) Tuition hikes and the freeze on hiring any new faculty. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the two is essential. I cannot stress enough of how Important communication is. We need to work together to make the change required. We are a team and without team effort nothing is accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible! Since Lakehead ts geographically unique, with transportation being by air and car only, posting of exam notices during registration, th1s way you can book the seat sales from the airline. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best qualtties are that I have excellent communication skills and delegate effectively. My downfall is that I get to involved and like to see all projects completed personally. Therefore, time-management ts crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE 11 Cass Koenen 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS I88UES 11 The vandaltsm that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that ts occurring is costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It ts Important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universtties we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other issue that ts facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only Increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two pereent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This wUl put the University In a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead ts a cut back in services and freeze In the hlrlng of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions, the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It is very important that the President is aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often ts the sole representative on Admintstrative committees and 1t is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition Increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibility of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who LUSU ts and what the Student Union does for them. •. Through thevartous conferences, both the Canadian Federation of Students and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these lines of communication and that this experience would be Invaluable In the upco~year. GOALS In the co~ year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalttion building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of patrlng first year off-campus students with upper year students. In the coming year I would like to work towards Improving this program and to generally· make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. BEST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality ts being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to learn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best qualtty is the ability to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby administration 1n· a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me serve the students better. 11 Adam Matthews 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES 11 IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 Eveiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition prices and housing costs are increasing eveiy year and numerous people feel there ts nothing they can do about it. well they·re wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! - . PERCEPTION OJI' THE RELATIONSHIP """ I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students.

I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone like myself who ts wtlling to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. Toe first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments• to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted like Student Security, the Fieldhouse swtmmlng pool, lntramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not eliminated. This is why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent your needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students• and I am completely devoted of brtngtng this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it w1ll be properly administered and quickly Implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she ts (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton• problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors· level and, if necessary, take the tnttiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief liaison between the students and LU Administration, it is crucial that Information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year is to see a "Travel Cuts• office OD campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need tt and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaining a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best qualtty is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern ts brought to my attention, I wt11 see to tt that its resolved Do matter how long lt takes. Of my worst qualtty, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I Invite everyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry 'IWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially In the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest Issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it w1ll be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it ts important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride In LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandislng/promotioncampatgn to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence -Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST Q.UALITY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �TheArgus Page 3 January30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE Tim Dowdy 11 SPACE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ON CAMPUS.

Tanya Tougas 11 RUNNING FOR VP OUTPOST DEll'ICIT The intent of the OU'IFOST is not that it be supported by additional funds, the OlJTI>OST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly ls the source of the problem and talce corrective measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, prtmartly caused by start-up costs of the OlJTI>OST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUfPOST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OlJTI>OST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU'IFOST will make. This fund ls a very important financial move for the OUTPOST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It is important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUfPOST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It would be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OurPOST anci LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this opera~ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new seIVices or events from the OUTPOST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magntfted. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example. we may. be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This ls why I intend to organize a con;unlttee of club - Fil reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives 1 will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUTPOST. short and long term planning for the OUTPOST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidl7.ed ticket prices for events held by the OlJTI>OST. In addition, 1 will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OU1POST. I feel it is important that we choose an alternative that is flnanctally stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmartly due to the OUTPOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrlnkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative Conn of recreation! BEST/WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality can be seen as similar, that ls I am l1v1ng off campus. This is my best quality because I can best represent the concerns of students from Thunder Bay (like myself) as well as students living off-campus. However, I am aware of the needs and interests of on-campus students, and will be available to see all students. VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE �The Argus Page 4 January 30. 1992 -y p - STUDENT ISSUES VANDALISM ON CAMPUS IS A BIG ISSUE, WILL YOU ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? WHICH SOCIAL PROBLEMS ON CAMPUS WOULD YOU LID TO DEAL WITH? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR? WHAT IS YOUR BEST AND WORST QUALITY? Chris Klimushko "COHESIVE HAIR" VANDALISM -Keep students aware of the effects of vandalism (cost) -Education via various avenues ofcommunication (Argus. Radio Station, Poster Campaign) -Implementation of campus. crime stoppers program -More co-operation with Thunder Bay Police-more care patrols,_foot patrol for events SO.C IAL PROBLEMS 1. Women's Issues-make sure that women feel safe on campus at all times. -participation of women to assist in implementing programs and services that will create a new ideal abnosphere. 2. Health Care-getting on health care plan that will cover off campus health services. i.e. dental, prescriptions etc. 3. Alcohol Awareness-continuing the campaign to encourage responsible drinking-encouraging designated drivers program. GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU-pride in LU -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all deparbnents (voluntary) -Merchandising campaign to raise awareness and make others aware of LU in T.Bay and across Canada. -Upgrading of Residence facilities-allowing married couples to cohabitate in Residence BEST/WORST QUALITY VANDALISM "THE FISHER QUEEN" Vandalism is of major concern especially this past year, the foremost example is the childish action which took place in EarFalls Residence. It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of six students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justified and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of "passing the buck" as it were, it can't even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out offurther and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose prtvileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! • SOCIAL PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campus...,What i mean is that, I am particularity concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full of good food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a ·shelter" here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems. I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS Hair cp Walsh 11 THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO YOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensuring that they are persecuted to the full extent of the la~. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prime nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level, ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rise of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to eJfect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must·attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS -As with past years, i'd still enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions: in the end, for light, you must .b urn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial minn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and criticism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Studentlssues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even close the Outpost. However, the Outpost is notjust a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased security and lighting~ould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a •crime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope, it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food. waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency wttl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities. and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year, I would like to see a health plan implemented, and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. We. must work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difllcult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward every single issue I acquire.

Wlllla111s Beg,oads In theJan.23. 1992 issue of The Argus I ran a stoiyentitled "WUUams and Peterson Leave Volleyball Squad". In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly Williams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyballsquadasofWednesday. It is presumed that WHltams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Williams pas written a formal letter to myself cx:platntngher situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. "'lb.e fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter. As disappointed and upset as I was about the change, I thought that for whatever reasons. Claude naa 111c1ue ct change that was r. best for the team. I accepted this and practised for two weeks, playing over 5 matches ion offside. • OnSaturday. January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sitting on the bench. This is what I was upset about. after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre. head coach] on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however. there were other factors which brought me to my decision." - Kelly Wllllains... -... - - V-Ball Squad Sweeps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend with yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team. The first match saw the NorWesters play without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later wathced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get Into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wing of another. The team pulled out a 3-0 set win by scores of 15-13, 15-9 and 15-13. Leading the strike were Kelly Breutigam who had 29 kllls. On Saturday the ladies took the match by an Identical 3-0 set score, w1nn1ng by the scores of 15-12, 15-11 and 157.

While acting. directing, producing. raising a family and travelling abroad, BW Cosby still finds the time to write books. Why does he do it? (you might ask) after reading his latest book entitled Childhood, the answer in his own words ls quite simply •to entertain.• stocy after another - he compares childhood back then with childhood of today. He humorously points out how children have changed from when he was a kid. By g1v1ng insight into tales from his own children, he mocks the difference between then and now. One can only conclude that there ls as confusing a lack of understanding between adult and child back then as there ls today. Cosby's writing ls a lot like his acting. and his stand up. If you are looking for a book rich in plot and literary device perhaps this ls not the novel for you. If however you are in for some light, entertaln1ng reading, look for Bill Cosby, that ls what he does best. Childhood does not have a distinguishable plot, climax, hero or even a lady in distress for that matter, it ls not a romance, a mystery-, or a drama. It ls a very interesting collection of stories from the childhood of Bill Cosby. Cosby relives his boyhood and ls kind enough to share it with the reader in the style he ls famous for. Regardless of how the experience effected him at the time Cosby finds in each situation a abundance of humour and forces the reader to laugh alongwith him. He shares some of his most embarrassing moments, (like bedwetting) and some of his most glorious (such as being a school cross guard): Cosby does not Just tell one BOOGIE CHILLUN' Music: WITH THE HOOK from his style, indeed, sometimes his own songs, incorporating it into their own style, and subsequently releasing records with theiruniquequality to them.

Although humour ls their presenting technique the importance of the rainforest issue ls very clear. Ruckus in the Rainforest is based out of Guelph and ls associated out of Guelph University. They have gained the reputation of a vecy entertaining yet informative group. Any of the many people who saw them last year, during Lakehead's first annual Environmental Awareness Week, knows the comic quality oftheir performance. This year's performance promises to be even better. The cast contains more people and there are a variety Doors released arrangements of Hooker's composltlons. In fact, Hooker's ortginal "CrawlingKlng Snake", a perfect vehicle for his powerful bark, was the Doors' selection for the bluesy •L.A.

STBANGIATO: ti tDoiee fiom ~e smljettb Uubleri~ by B. Ziggy .Emmanuel Overdrive, J 992. The stranger took me by surprise as I tottered out of the Argus office. He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse oontainers that so enthusiastically dominate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commercial at my expense? Hts gun went off, the bullet struck me square in the belt buckle and !mocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I cringed as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brian B.. • he sakl. "You·re no Jack Ruby your-self,• I replied. The bullet had ricocheted Into a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students In engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. BrushJng off any of hJs halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore, where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then it was off to the Agora. where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here in the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organtzaUon presumably In charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for~fl.clal trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder if the space committee Is aware of a more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mailbox, to be exacl AA ls getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton ctted the Nattve Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvlronmentalAwarenessdJsplay as events that may suffer from the empty space clestructton. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating opinions among the socially conscious Joumallsts of Thunder Bay. When I sat down In the space-dominated Agora today, the first thing I noticed was a trampled bit of newsprint covered in mud and graffiti at my feel Ithadseemed unimportant at the time, but now, as I examine it, what should It be but a copy of the January 10th Chronicle Journal? The word 'pub' was featured on the oplnlon page. I scanned the underlying edltortal. The uncredited author of the piece was under the delusion that the 'Post was built from taxpayer's dollars. Yes, this ls circuitously true, as a great number of students are now mournfully taxed on their OSAP loans, and no student can escape the almlghty GST. Student Union electlons are next week: even though I have little faith in democracy as practised by the U.S., C~ada, and LUSU, I will vote and I encourage you to do so as well. Which ls worse, voting a few loose cannons Into posltlons of au- thority or not havtng the opportunity to dump those same cannons the next year? As Steve Earle says, "If you don't vote, don't bitch.• From the Agora I can look up and see that I'm in the shadows of the Exam office. Perhaps someone up there will tell me why I'm not allowed to write my supplemental (whoops, special) examination untll July when I've had an ample chance to forget everything I didn't know the first time. Maybe It's because I'll be working full time and I'll be able to afford my textbook. Maybe on another day I'll go up there. This orgy of opinion has left me famished.

The two most popular TEDs currently advertised are Thigh Master (plugged by Suzanne Somers) and Thigh Ton~r. From these commercials, 1t would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are in. However, a big problem with TEDs ts they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devices their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Just Imagine TED users' friends saying, •Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.• So Individuals seeking the perfect body must watt for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TED users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition ls named In honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months, she almost disappeared, and became lmown as Uttle Opie to thousands of adortng fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled In size and earned the nickname, The Grand 01' Oprah. Ollat terrible pun ls for all the Counuy and Western fans out there). This boomer• ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect. and it applies to anyone who stops using some trendy diet food or exercise device. For TED users, it means that once they, stop using their TEDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using thelr1EDs shortly after purch.a stng them, dlehard users who over-In-. dulge 1n the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs.

Previous to this year applicaUons were received from students who were supposed to be in charge and monitor the trip on behalf of LUSU. -We had some complaints last year•.

Koenen replied that it was important to LUSU that "somebody who organized the trip and was involved with it from the very beginning and understands everything that will be happening will be down there to cover any problems that may occur." Gratis trips are given by the travel company when a certain number of students are signed up. Koenen's passage to Daytona is provided by one of the gratis trips.

February third is the final day for spring break stgn-ups. $1551.00. support. funding and collaboration betweenLUSU and the Gender Issues CoOrdinator are to blame for problems surrounding LUSU's new Gender Issues Centre. Students are frustrated by the centre not being open when they need to use it during regular school hours. Blame can be mostly laid on LUSU. Due to financial restraints. the Board of Directors and the Financial Management Committee decided to only hire a part time Co-ordinator for the centre. Valerie Lelleva. the person hired, has been working for the required 15 hours per week since the summer and more. As a result Lelleva was given vacation time during the week before and the two weeks after the Christmas Break. At the January 16. 1992 Board of Directors meeting. a motion was put forth by Cass Koenen. V.P. Student Issues. to increase Lelleva's status to full time. The motion was put on hold until a full evaluation ofthe centre is completed. Currently. Lelleva is in the centre for ftve hours per day for three days a week. On the other two days it was hoped that volunteers would keep the centre open. nus has not been the case to date. According to Koenen. U):SUhoped that the "centre would be able to be open fullUme with volunteer support. but unfortunately we haven't had that base support around." Lelleva agrees adding that the volunteers who did work in the centre were unsupervised and not really clear on what they had to do. Another major problem cited by Lelleva was a lack of "collaboration between Cass and myself." According to Koenen. the major problem is confusion caused by a lack of advertising. she stated "I think that ... we haven't advertised it enough. I'm not sure everybody knows why its there and what out there for." Note: Ms.Lelleva has resigned her position! ----------------------------------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· ·---------------------------------------------------:---------=--:.-=-------=--=---=-----=----=------ __.. -J I "'-:.•--==-----=-----------=-----=--=----:.-----= -------------------~--~~-~-----~--------------------· ·----------------------·-· ----------------------------------------· --· _, ------------------· ·----------------------~ -------------------· --------------------------------------· --· ·-------------------------------------------------------------- -·-· ----· ----------------------· ·--------------------~ ---------------------·---------------------------------------------------------------~-----------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· ·-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· •-■-------------------------------------------------•-----•• --·-· --·----~1--• -----· __--, ~"i:ir -·• --·• -•■ 11---·------·i ----A ---• --· -_... &.Ji!' --~-.

Confederation College students can no longer enter the Outpost just by showing the pub staff their student cards. The motion passed at the last LUSU Board meeting states that any non-Lakehead student must pay a $2.00 cover charge to enter the pub. Unfortunately, non-LU students include staffand alumni. The motion passed 18/2. Opposed to the motion were Ian Middleton, who voted by proxy, and Sara Friar. Ttm Fleguel and Robin Squires also opposed the motion, yet neither were present for the vote. Greg Beckford and cass Koenen put forth the motion. Beckford supported the motion I with a 500 name petition signed by students living In residence. Jeft'Dockerty, pub manager, commented that this was a good motion in some respects. Dockerty argued It would be in the Outpost's interest if Sharky's (Con College's pub) were to stay open, as the two barssplitthecostsofimporttng various groups or comedians. Dockerty also felt that people would come to The Outpost, even ff they have to pay the $2 cover charge, as the pub is a popular novelty in Thunder Bay. However, as a long term arrangement. this policy could be damaging. Dockerty pointed out this would be one of the vecy few pubs in Ontario that have a cover charge, and that could hurt business during the spring break and especially during the summer. He commented thatasLU students go home for the break, and students from Thunder Bay, attendingotheruniversitles, come home, there will be a drop in business, as no one is here to sign in the non-LU students. Board member Friar said, "The repercussions of this motion should be thoroughly investigated before any Irrevocable diun1gc ts done to the important relationship between LU and Con College (students). I wouldn't tell my best friend off over a drink.• ... , PUB ,RESTRICTIONS CONDEMNED BY LUSU PRESIDENT byR. Murphy Ian Middleton, Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU)presldent, condemned the LUSU Board of Directors (BOD) motion to raise barriers to admission to The Outpost, the LUSU operated pub in the new Students Centre. He was unable to attend the meeting, Januacy 23, 1992, because of his attendance at an Ontario Federation of Students conference at the University of Guelph, but did cast one of two dissenting votes by proxy. In an interview after reading the minutes, Middleton remarked that, as the motion currently reads, • ... this means that at any time, faculty and staffhave to pay $2 to come in here (The Outpost) ... the Chairman of The Board of Governors, who technically owns this building, can'tcometnherewithout paying $2. Bob Rosehart (Lakehead University President) can't come in here for a coffee unless he pays $2. There is no time limit.• Middleton was referring to the fact that there is no mention of hours of enforcement in the new LUSU Outpostpolicy'Technically it (the policy) came into force as soon as it passed the board• "I have lived here 1n Thunder Bay all my life. Some high school friends went to work, some went to other universities, some went to Con (Confederation) College. LUSU ts telling me that I can't bring my best friend in here (The Outpost) without them paying the $2. This motion is a slap in the face of evecy student from Thunder Bay.• Middleton made a reference to Alumni by saying that •:.some of whom have paid much more tbward'ti 'tlie 'Sttlctc!rttii . :.C!ntft! • than any first year student, cannot come in here without paying $2 and being signed in?I• Middleton also attacked the motion because of the lack of consultation with the students and other interested groups, when this policy was being considered •.. administration, who holds the liquor license, was not consulted. There was no consultation with Confederation College Students Union. What happens in the summerttmer Middleton also questioned the residence angle--• ...where will all the residence students bethenr Mtddletonalsoreferred to The Study, which was the notoriously crowded pub operated by LUSU before The Outpost opened. 'There was no outccy then ... • said Middleton. ·1 don'tknowaboutMcMaster orTrent (universities), because I have not been there, but I have not been to any other (postsecondaiy) institution in Ontario that does this. Only grad student associations tend to do this.• He explained that for many years LUSU has tried to foster closer relations with the Confederation College student's union and that this motion does nothing to help. Middleton said, "We have visited their Board of Directors and, with their president, made joint presentations toThunder Bay City Council. We made one about student fares for dty transit, and one to form a committee to develop affordable student housing. The housing proposal was rejected so we formed our own committee that includes representatives from the administrations of both institutions. For years we have tried to work out a reciprocity agreement over athletic f'acilities. It is currently 1n place for faculty and staff.• Middleton has decided not to seek office again next year, but will be working toward the reevaluation of this policy.

And so, on Friday the 24th, over fifty angxy Con College students were turned away at the door. And those fifty students took with them when they left a new image of the Outpost. No more is it, to them, a great place to go and drink and dance and spend their money. It is now a place reserved for the privileged few who hold L.U. student cards. And you can bet that the new image of the Outpost was passed on to their friends and to theirfriendsandsoonandsoon. Andratherthanspendtheirmoncy in the Outpost they will now spend their money at the lnntowner or at Gilley••· •5o wha~ you ask. ·u·s not their bar, it's ours.• You're right. Itis. But when you go away for spring break, or when the Outpost has a bad week, or when summer comes, we may well depend on the business of the college students. And we will probably change our policy again to allow them. But they may not come back Just because we're whining that we need them. They may never come back. And that ■ An open message to all LU.Students: Have you ever signed a stranger into tlie Outpost? It's really no big deal. After all, what are the chances that the individual you sign in is going to beat someone up, break something, or piss on the dance 0oon' I don't pretend to lmow. • But I do lmow this. L.U. studentshad better start signing Confederation College students in. Because until now, the College students have been let in at par with L. U. students. And in one fateful vote at the LUSU Board of Directors meeting on Thursday the 23rd, that privilege was taken away. Not because it was being misused. But because the lineups on the weekends were too long after eight o'clock; and L.U. students couldn't get into their own bar. So now, on all Thursday nights, and on all weekend nights when the varsity basketball team is playing at home, Con College students must be signed in in order to gain entrance. No one talked to the College lemforLUSU. And.neediremfnd you, LUSU is you. • So, the next time you see a ConfederaUon College student being turned away at the door of the Outpost, take them UD4er your wing and a1gn them In for the night. Show the College students that L.U. students aren't really so bad, and do a good deed for the Outpost and for LUSU. Lord lmows the Board of Directors didn't. Robin A.

Mills Syr, Arts NO Wester sUpport In the last issue of the Argus, someone.made a comment about the lack of fan support at NorWesters basketball games. I totally agree. La.st year fan support was awesome, and even though I wasn't a student I attended, and had a great time. The first couple of games this year did lack fan support, but this past weekend's games were super! I have only one small problem with the fans, thatl've noticed through two years of attending the games. IfLU is losing near the end, eveiyone gets up and leaves. Heck, what do these people think they are going to do with theirextraflve seconds? I say, a BE& fan should stick with the team until the endl I lmow that I do! Darren Foulds SUPPORT CAN SORT Letter to the Editor: No, thisfsn'tanothercomplafnt about the Outpost. and it's not really directed to the Argus itself. Quite sfmp)y tt•s a letter directed to the maaaes. In Southern Ontario recycling is now commonplace, most of the population is aware and is able to recycle aluminum, steel, glaaa, plastic, and paper. However, this is not ao ro.- Thunder Bay; because the dty is so ISOiated this has proven quite ari obstacle in getting a full recycling program underway. Pfty... andIJustheard that the city council is looking into not having full curb-side recycling. Craziness! Here at L. U. eveiyone Is pretty aware of the presence of the blue bins around for depositing pop cans, and a lot of people are taking advantage of the blue bins, yet some people still don't care and almply ton their can in the garbage. I won't bother getting into to tl;ie rationale behind why one should recycle aluminum and the energy saved, if anyone wants information on that contact ECHO)) via the LUSU mailbox. On another note, whether it's just apathy (but rd rather believe it's Just plafn1gnorance) students here at LU. have no concept of what happens to the cans after they're placed into the appropriate bins. VIDEO -? Regarding my concerns regarding the monies generated by video games. The reply by Cass Koenen, Vice-President Student Issues confirms my concerns over theapparentlackofcontrolsLUSU has over the entire video game operation. I am nm. concerned and may I repeat. I am nm concerned whose machines and pool tables at LU. I am only concerned over the lack of controls which should be present in any business operation whtch deals in cash in the thousands of dollars. Presently, as indicated, these are no controls in effect except for a 'superficial' check of materials. How does LU "check" the return on pool tables? Tony LeBlanc mentioned the difference in monies generated by thepresentvendorversus the previous vendor. l believe this figure is an error and not taken from the books. Regardless, Tony does not indicate that the previous vendor was only allowed 10 machines versus today's 30 or 40 plus the enrolment is approximately 50% higher today than previously. If this is prorated, is LU receiving maximum return per machine as previously? As indicated earlier, let's be sure maximum dollars are being generated for the students. Any well_run professional business does not run on trust, They run on controls. As a suggestion, LUSU should keep their own records, sheetswith meter numbers recorded weekly in the presence ofvending people during pick-up of monies. Monies from pool tables should be picked up in labelled bags and rolled in the presence of L-U,Su reps immediately after plck-up. Surely, the hour necessaiy to put these controls in operations are worth the time and effort to assure proper collection and asse8Sment for now and in the future. In God we trust, maybeworks for Americans but good business sense is to limit or elfmfnate trust and temptation. C'mon WSUI We are future leaders of Canada.

It•s really easy too, folks, you just take a magnet and separate the cans into steel {which sticks to the magnet), and aluminum (which doesn't stick).

ROCK THE VOTE! -MTV Student Perspective T!!J~!J!'!l.~<?n~'!!!~~ a system of social organization based on the ideals of domination and competition rather than co-operation have produced an ecological crisis that threatens our very existence. Humanity is now faced with a crisis that transcends theboundariesofanyonefteldofstudy. Thesolutiontothis many faceted problem lies not only in rectifying the abuses in the ecological domain but more importantly, in assessing the ideological faults of the social, political and economic domains. The class structure of society is a competitive hierarchy: each level of the hierarchy continually strives to outcompete each other to maintain or increase its influence and power on each successive layer. Our political system is a reflection of this competitiveness; It is a system we call capitalism, orfree enterprise. In North.America this system - of political organization tends to be dangerously headIng towards a plutocracy rather than evolving into an egalitarian d~mocracy. Competitive free enterprise is retarding the process of social and political evolution. In our society the values of mutual co-operation, spiritual satisfaction and intellectual development have been stifled and even replaced by economic competition. material satisfaction as a means to happiness and the repression of the intellect, denying its development to be an integral part of the development of the whole self. The void of intellectual development has been filled with what can be referred to as )unk ideas•, intellectually comparable to the.nutiitive emptiness ofJunk food. This junk ideas are the mindless media productions on our television and radio, which are meant only to reinforce our sense of security in what the capitalist state considers socially and morally right. The people who hold positions of power and wealth in today's society are completely dependent on the preservation of the system of domination and of social and economic inequality to maintain their positions of power and wealth. In doing so, they advance the complexly intertwined ecological and social crisis to appalling and dangerous proportions. The greatest threat to this system of social, political and economic inequality is the development of the individual's ability to reason, to critically assess every aspect of society which the bulk of humanity has formerly accepted unquestioned as being the unalterable laws governing our existence. Our political system allows for a very small proportion of society to control a very large portion of its wealth; there is social inequality and injustice. human beings have become commodl8ed, reduced to an equation and absorbed into the colossal machinery of the capitalist system. Reason and critical thought shows us that this system of intellectual and social repression should not and will not indefinitely exist. It ls therefore in the best interest of the ruling class to stifle intellectual development, because it threatens the existence of that very class. Our schools do not teach us critical thought or reason. rather, we are taught to function within the system. how to think like the status quo and at the same time it offers humanitywith the-greatest opportunity for ecological and social salvation. Our own freedom rests in our ability to free ourselves from the confines and constraints. both physical and intellectu.al. of the existing intellectually repressive system. We stand on the threshold of the greatest social revolution of all time, rectifying our ecological abuses is a healing process that transcends the boundaries of any one field.. The healing of the Earth involves eliminating poverty. social inequality, economic abuse and above all replacing ignorance with enlightenment, exchanging blind acceptance with questioning and substituting intuition with reasoning. This next social revolution offers humanity with the opportunity for true equality and happiness. British conservationist Norman Moore said it best when he said that the universal acceptance of conservation ls one of the most potent political forces since Mamsm. but one that wlll ultimately unite rather than divide humanity. OlqfJensen I I ELECTION -PREDICTIONS 3:25 A.M. Less than half an hour ago I saved a new file in place. of my800word editorial. Irresponsibleyes. Correctable No. 11:·s probably unprofessional to even be discussing this in print, but Ijust thought I'd let you lmow I had tried. Here's a quick summary. The LUSU elections for the Executive will be held Febmary 4 & 5 next week. 13 people are running for three positions. Show you care, educate yourself, read the Argus, phone the candidate etc. Don't forget to vote. Turnout last year was approximately 18%. Let's get off this apathy train. Here's a list of suspected results going in to the candidate's forum yester.day (projected by committee). President: VP Finance: VP Stud~t Issues: Koenen, Cass Tougas, Tanya Fisher, Christine Moniz, Paul Tilbury, Mark Grice, Craig George, Peter Dawdy, Tim Walsh, Colin Torry, Brian Hergott, Mike Klimushko, Chris Matthews. Adam Aft~r the forum, the deck was shuffled a bit based on performance. President: Koenen is still the candidate to beat. Moniz and Tony are the main challengers. George has slipped. and Matthews may not be able to climb out of last place after alienating certain clubs. VP - F: Tilbury staged a strong charge and has made this essentially a two way race between himself and Tougas. Dawdy and Hergottmade a good showingforthemselves but a win seems unlikely at this point. VP - SI: Fisher's strong base in rez could carry her. but an unspectacular forum performance has opened the door for a dark horse candidate such as Walsh orKlimushkotomake a surprising breakthrough. Grice was inconsistent. In this race fourth is as hard to call as first. This could be the most interesting race. The vote is less than a week away. and political fortunes can rise and fall many times in just a few days. Early indications point towards an all female executive, but we won't lmow for sure until Wednesday night. The results will be available in the Argus next Thursday. TGB VOTE! 3:42AM (327words) POTENTIAL ELECTION PROBLEM Argus News Staff Editorial/News Item Questions have been raised regarding the "Tougas Two Buck" coupon being used by VP Finance Candidate Tanya Tougas on the flipside of her election handbills. Each handbill contains a $2.00 coupon on it that can be redeemedatalocalrecordstoiefromFebruary 10-22, 1992. The questions raised in regards to this questioned whether this campaign was akin to "pork barrel politics" or "vote buying". If this is in fact the case, evidence indicates that Tougas, . an aclmowledged frontrunner, is not at fault. ln a conversation with an Argus reporter Tougas pointed out that her campaign idea was cleared by the LUSU Elections Committee. a fact confirmed by Chief Returning Officer Rick Cox. When Cox was asked about the "vote buying" allegation. he said that the coupon did not contravene specific LUSU policy regarding elections. He also aclmowledged that the Election Committee did not confirm the legality of this practice with the Ontario Elections Act. Tougas printed approximately 600 coupons. but she says that she has not distributed them in wide quantities yet. She also mentioned that if one of her fellow candidates had a problem with them she would not distribute them on campus. Tougas defended the coupons saying that they reflected her "innovation" and "originality" which she would bring to her job if elected. If she distributes a large portion of her coupons and goes on to win the election, the possibility exists that the election could be contested if the Ontario Elections.A'ct does prohibit ···carnpatgntngpractices of~ ~U!. -------·---·· ... - - . . rni.:.m,:.m.. ,. ,,.. ,.,._., ,,.,.... • • ·• ••• ·--- --··- · ·- · ···· ·· -· • - • �Toe Argus Page 6 January 30. 1992 SPORTS Redskins Do111inate Bills to Win Super Bowl XDI Mens Baskethall Squad Drops a Pair atH01ne by Anthony Hewitt Toe mens basketball team dropped their record to 3-3 with two home losses to McMaster University this past weekend.

CP'S SPORTS EATING TIP The recent candidates forum reminded me of a vigorous hockey game in the Montreal Forum. Although i've never witnessed a game in the Forum. i felt invigorated during the forum. Canada Dry ginger ale: Good forum-in and forum-out. by Ian T. Fero As a little side bet between Travis and myself concerning our official predictions on Super Bowl XXVI. in last weeks issue, we decided that the loser would write a review of the game, hence the burden has fallen upon my shoulders. First of all I would like to apologize for a brutal prediction on my part, an NFL guru it seems I am not. From the outset the game was a lock for the 'Skins. The way I see it was a combination of ,the Redskins doing everything they needed to do. and the Bills doing everything they shouldn't have. The hoITid performance of the Bills seems to stem from three factors: 1) Jim Kelly-I knew when I saw him running out on to the field that he Just wasn't primed. he never was. He threw a Super Bowl record four INT s to an opportunistic 'Skins defence and was 0 • never able to hit his receiversfor any real gains, as well Kelly could assemble no prolonged drives. 2) Thurman Thomas-was he in the bloody game? I didn•t even notice him. The self proclaimed "MichaelJordan of the Bills" did absolutely nothingtoliveuptohisown billing. I feel bad for picking him as a decisive factor. 3) The inability ·of the defence to shut down the Mark Rypien passing attack. I totally underestimated Rypien and the Posse, you•d think the Bills would have figured out the 'Skins pass orientated offence but they didn't. The Bills may have the best front seven in the NFL, but the other four were brutal although the line managed to put some quality pressure on Rypien. It seems Travis had the correct formula for success in predictlngWashington's decisive factors. unlike myself who seemed to devise an idealistic game plan. if the Bills could have done half of what I thought they were going to it would have been a lot closer. Oh well! I hope none ofyou readers lost money on my account. Hats off to Rypien and the 'Skins. as well as my colleague Mr. Belrose. All I have to say is watch out for the Lions in '93.

They feel that If they are elected, then they could work together and get things doril : _ Tony opposed the pub policy ofchargtnga $2 cover charge to all non-LU students. Tony felt that this was insulting towards the Confederation College students and all those living in Thunder Bay. He also said that it was bad bustness, as we need the Con College student dollars in the Pub, especiallyin the summermonths, when there are few LU students to gtve the place business. Tony felt that because of this and other problems on campus, LU's reputation in Thunder Bay is not as good as it could be. Peter George. George. who was appointed to the BOD on February 14 of last school year. George said that he sits on the Flnancial Management Committee (FMC) and Policy Development and Review (PD&R). and various Senate committees. George supported such things as Study renovation, and said he suggested to Tony LeBlanc that a student work program be initiated to do the work on the Study. The collective agreement with the unions on campus state that this work is to be done by union people. George said that he opposed the WUSC program that would sponsor two refugee students to attend LU. He said that he could not agree with a program that wastes$11,000ofstudentmoney. The WUSC proposal asks for $6,000 over a two year period, meantngLUSU would have to pay $3,000 next year. Steary, Noel Ward, n-<Wis Belrose. VP J'Df.Al'fCE: 11mDawdy. He ts a second year rep for LU Business Association, and a BOD member this year. After a brief explanation of his qualitlcations, Dawdy proceeded to explain his goals for LUSU as an executive. Dawdy supported the $15,000 plan for. a proposed climbingwall, which was put forth to the BOD by the Alpine Club on Januaiy 16. No vote was taken on the proposal. Dawdy argued that at the beginning of the year we paid a (sic) $75 student fee. For this reason, he felt that prices in the pub should be lowered, and more entertainment should be offered in the pub, and some of that should be free. Dawdy supported the Travel Cuts office at Lakehead University. Mike Hergott. "Vote for Hair," was repeated by the second candidate of the "Hair Slate." Hergott, a second year Outdoor Recreation student, promised his support for clubs. He felt this support should not necessarily mean the funding of these clubs. Each club on campus should be able to fund-raise, yet Hergott stated that he would continue to fund LU clubs. Cue Koenen. Pete George Prez Cass Koenen Prez Koenen opened with a list of qualiftcations for the Job as LUSU president. Koenen has been on the BOD for two years, and this year she sezved as VP Student Issues. She also sits on PD&R, and is an active member on many other committees and organizations, like SUDS and COCA. Koenen announced that her main priority would be to fight high tuition for the student body as a lobbyist. Koenen also said she would like to work with city council to improve the situation for students in Thunder Bay. When listing her accomplishments, Koenen cited the Mentor , Program, whichshesaidshewould like to see continued. Adam Matthews. Matthews admitted that he had no experience with LUSU and student politics, but he said that this would give him a fresh unbiased perspective as President. Matthews supported LUSU's new pub policy, which limlts non-LU students, saying thattt can create a yearly income of $15,000 to supplement the Pub's million dollar budget. Matthews said that he applled foraJobattheOutpost.yethewas turned down. Matthews, who manages a similar operation at home, felt that he was turned down because his knowledge of pub operations may conflict with that of the pub manager. Matthews also supported the climbing wall which was proposed to LUSU recently, yet not voted on. Matthews felt that this would increase enrolment in Outdoor Recreation. Administration has placed a cap on enrolment in this school, as it ts already full. Throughout his sp~ech, Matthews campaigned against vandalism. Paul Moniz. Moniz, who has sat on the BOD for two years, was a CFS and OFS delegate, and sits on several committees, including FMC. Moniz wishes to see a Travel Cuts office created on campus. This office deals with various companies to offer student travel discounts. Many Thunder Bay business have previously stated that , they would not give Travel Cuts any special consideration. Also, in order for Travel Cuts to consider an office, they must be guaranteed $2 million in sales, which LU cannot provide. Moniz also promised he would campatgnforcheaperstudentbus passes.

On the spacing issue, Tilbwy felt that the .Aesthetics Lounge could be turned into good club space. This area has been noted for its poor ventilation. and it has been suggested asa possible sight fortheproposedPeerCouncilcentre. Tilbwy also felt that the office of Summer Manager should be created for clubs. He commented that AIESEC benefited from such a post. The hiring of 30 Summer Managers for each club on campus could prove to be an expensive venture. Tilbury comqiented on the problem with the Student Handbooks being so late. He felt that LUSU using a firm that was farther away from Thunder Bay was irresponsible. Ifa nearby firm wold have been used then the books would have been available sooner. The main reason provided by the LUSU executive was that this year's firm was used because they printed the books on recyclable paper. Tanya Tougas.

H.B. All the candidates at the Forum agreed they would work closely with the auditors, as they consider their recommendation invaluable. All of the candidates also agreed on the issue of clubs. They would like to see the clubs get involved more on their own fund-raising, yet they promised flnancial or moral support for all LU clubs. W STUDENT ISSUES: Christine Fisher.

She also has experience on various committees and she stt.s as a student senator.

Fisher would like to see these forms becoming important in the evaluation of profs by the deans. yet she admitted this would be hard work, but she was committed to it. Fisher was also embarrassed at the lack of wheelchair accessabillty in the university. She commented that she would like to see something done, spectflcally, an elevator made available so that disabled students can go from the Agora to the cafeteria without any problem. Craig Grice. Grice commented on the problem of vandalism and the image thatiscreatinginthemindsofthe citizens of Thunder Bay. He also felt the pub policywas disgraceful and a slap in the face not to Just Confederation College students, but of university students evecywhere. Grice also complained about he poor advertising of the Winter :::arruval, and commented on how >f all the classes that he had lisited, only a handful ofstudents Nere aware of the events of that :fay, and only one knew how to register for specific events. GricecomplainedaboutVersa Foods, accusing them of wasting food that could be donated to shelters in Thunder Bay. Grlce's final comments were on orientation. Grice felt that orientation was good for those living in restdence, yet those living offcampus were left out. and have no idea of what ts going on. Here, Grice felt that the faculty could announce what ts going on over the orientation period. Chris Klimusbko.

PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the two is essential. I cannot stress enough of how important communication is. We need to work together to make the change required. We are a team and without team effort nothing ts accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible! Since Lakehead ts geographically unique, with transportation being by air and car only, posting of exam notices durlng registration, this way you can book the seat sales from the airline. BEST/WORST QUALITY My best qualities are that I have excellent communication skills and delegate effectively. My downfall ts that I get to involved and llke to see all projects completed personally. Therefore, time-management is crucial. A WORDY CANDIDATE" 11 Cass Koenen TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES The vandalism that ts occurring on campus this year has to be one of the largest issues we have had to deal with. The violence and destruction that is occurring ts costing the University and the students of this University more and more money every month. In the past there has always been a history of what has been thought to be act of drunken stupidity. This year however we have seen an increasing number ofdeliberate acts, such as the destruction of the entrance signs. It is important that we as students take pride in our University and all :work together to help stop this wave of vandalism. In a time where the government has cut back it's funding towards Universities we can •not afford to be spending our money on senseless vandalism. The other Issue that is facing the University ts the cutbacks in transfer payments from the government and the seven percent increase in tuition. This past fall, the government "clawed back" money that had already been promised to the University. Last Tuesday the Rae Government announced that they were only increasing the transfer payments to one percent this year and two perrent for the next two years, tuition was also raised another seven percent. This Will put the University in a very tight financial situation. What it will mean to the students of Lakehead is a cut back in services and freeze in the hiring of staff and faculty. The tuition increase was only announced for one year, however the transfer payments were announced over a three year period. This will cause the Ontario Council of Universities, the Unions.the faculty associations etc. to put pressure on the government to increase tuition again next year and the year after that to make up for the shortfall. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the students and the President of the Student Union ts one where the President acts as a spokesperson and negotiator on behalf of the Students with administration and the Community. It ts very important that the President ts aware of what the students on campus are feeling and what their needs are. The President often is the sole representative on Administrative committees and it is important the s \he represents the views of the students accurately. As well the president acts on behalf of the students in the community at large, the city council and both the Federal and Provincial governments. It is the responsibility of the President to fight council for Student Bus passes, and affordable student housing, to lobby the government against tuition increases and to make administration aware of what the students of this campus need. I feel that it is the responsibillty of the President to make the students on campus aware ofwhat and who WSU is ~d what the Student Union does for them. . Through the various conferences, both the Canadian Federation ofStudents and the Ontario Federation of Students, and by sitting on Senate Executive and the Decanal Search Committee that ts looking into the restructuring of the department of Professional Studies, I feel.that I have already established these llnes of communication and that this experience would be invaluable in the upcoming year. GOALS In the coming year I would continue to work on several projects that have already been started, those being the student bus pass and affordable student housing. I feel that coalition building between the faculty association and the other Unions on campus is going to become increasingly important as we need their support to keep tuition increases to zero over the next three years and .I would work towards building those relationships. With the OUTPOST doing as much business as it has over the last four months I feel that it ts important that LUSU looks at future of our business and begin to make some long distance financial planning for our operations. Last year during orientation I started the ground work for a program of pairing first year off-campus students with upper year ~tudents. In the coming year I would like to work towards improvtng this program and to generally make off-campus students feel more apart of the University community in general. Finally, I also will continue to lobby the University for a safer, more secure environment. ,B EST/WORST QUALITY I feel that my worst quality is being impatient. I tend to want to do too much myself and have to ,earn to delegate tasks to others. Over the last year I have gotten better, but could still improve some. My best quality is the abillty to communicate with administration what the students on this campus need. I have been able to develop the skills necessary to lobby admintstratlon in•a professional and effective manner. The networking that I have done over the past year has been able to help me seive the students better. 11 11 '' Adam Matthews TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES IT S THAT SIMPLE? 11 JMreiyone knows that there are numerous issues to be looked at and dealt with in order to help our students. My major concerns have to deal with the cost of tuition and also affordable housing. Tuition pri_c es and housing costs are increasing every year and numerous people feel there is nothing they can do about it, well they're wrong! If I'm elected 111 show you how to do it! -=PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP I feel that the president ofLUSU should be there at all times for the students. The LUSU president ts a voice for the students and in o~~r for the president to voice the students opinions there has to be a constant flow of communlcatiori. I am prepared to listen and treat each student concern on an PRESl'DENTIAL GOALS Every candidate proposes numerous goals which they promise to achieve in the upcoming year, knowing that there is only a few capable of achieving! Myself on the other hand would like to see an end to the increasing amount ofvandalism, because let's face it it's a waste of our money! Ifl have to go as far as to patrol the campus myself to catch the vandals I will! Also let's work toward a Varsity team that the spectators and players of LU have been waiting for for years ... HOCKEY! BEST WORST QUALITY My best and worst quality fall into the same bracket. being that I don't quit. When I see something capable of achieving I go after it until I achieve it even if it gets myself in trouble. I feel it's about time LUSU gets someone llke myself who is willing to stick their hand in the fan and accomplish something to LAKEHEADI Paul Moniz 11 2ND TRV 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES There are 2 major issues facing LU students today. The first and most important. will be the reduction of "transfer payments· to universities, recently announced by the Ontario Government. The ramifications from these cuts will drastically effect us considering LU will most likely compensate for the lost revenue by reducing services, not faculty salaries. Services taken for granted llke Student Security, the Fieldhouse swimming pool, intramurals, Varsity sports ect... could be reduced if not ellminated. This ts why electing someone who keeps up with current issues and, with the experience to effectively represent :,our needs, is of essence. Another major issue that cannot be overlooked is the need for an affordable student health plan. Subsidised health care is available through the "Canadian Federation of Students" and I am completely devoted of bringing this to a referendum. IfLU students are in favour, then I ensure you that it will be properly administered and quickly implemented. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The LUSU President should when possible, be in his/her office to hear student concerns. They should also know exactly who he/she is (not like the "who ts Ian Middleton" problem) and that the office has an open door policy. It is also imperative that the President voice these concerns at the "Board of Governors" level and, if necessary, take the initiative to organize protest rallies. Because the LUSU President is the chief llaison between the students and LU Administration, it ts crucial that information be related back in the form of Argus reports, class visits ect. .. GOALS A number of my goals for the upcoming year ls to see a wi'ravel Cuts• office on campus so the students may receive discounted air fares. I am also committed to implementing a student health plan for those who need it and, meeting with the new Thunder Bay mayor to ensure he does not neglect his promises towards affordable student housing and student-rate bus passes. Ensuring that the Outpost does not run a deficit and, obtaintng a transmitting licence for our radio station, ts also among my priorities BEST/WORST QUALITY I believe that my best quality is that I am focused and persistent. If a concern is brought to my attention, I will see to it that its resolved no matter how Jong It takes. Of my worst quality, I am unable to pin point anything major which might effect my role as President, yet, I invite eveiyone to come and get to know me so you may discover for yourselves. 11 Brian Torry TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES HAIR FORCE 11 The issue of improved Student Services, especially in the area of Health Care and also in off campus housing and improved services. Probably the greatest issue of present times, is one of exceptional importance, is the disastrous financial situation presented to us through higher tuition and reduced gov't spending and it will be necessary to deal with these problems to ensure continued success for students. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP ' In recent years LUSU has become more of a giant corporation than a Student Union. Though it is important to run the organization as a business the LUSU president should be a representative of the students not their CEO. • GOALS -Get students involved in LUSU - pride in LU. -Better off-campus housing services for students -Big brother/sister programs for all departments (voluntary) -Merchandising/promotion campaign to raise awareness within Thunder Bay and other Universities -Upgrading of Residence facilities - allowing married couples to cohabitate in residence ·Declare LU bilingual BEST/WORST QUALl'IY Best-hair Worst-hair PROFILE �The Argus Page 3 January 30, 1992 VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE CAMPUS.

SPACE PROBLEM Every year more and more clubs and organizations approach LUSU for office space.

I think LUSU and the V.P. Finance should work more closely with University Administration to help alleviate the lack of office space. One concrete proposal that I have, Best-hair Worst-hair Tanya Tougas "RUNNING FOR VP - F .. OUTPOST DEFICIT The intent of the OU1POST ls not that it be supported by additional funds, the OUTPOST should be operating at break-even or at a profit And if it is not, it is essential to determine what exactly is the source of the problem and talce correctlve measures to alleviate the financial burden. In light of the recent financial deficit, primarily caused by start-up costs of the OUTPOST, an Operating Fund has been established for the OUI'POST. The $2 cover-charge collected from non-LU students to the OUTPOST will go directly to this fund as well as any surplus (or profits) the OU1POST will make. This fund is a ve-cy important financial move for the OUI'POST. This fund will grow to a predetermined level (dollar amount). It Is Important to have this fund available in the case of an unforseen event so money will be available to cover the daily overhead expenses that must be paid. For example, a situation may arise such as a faculty strike. This may mean many students leave campus, forcing the OUI'POST to be closed for a couple of weeks. It wotJ:1d be a situation like this, not forseeable, that the management of the OUTPOST and LUSU can draw from this fund in order to remain above water until the normal revenues (profits) can be realized from regular operation. When this operaf:1ng fund reaches the pre-determined level, the money's over and above will go back to the students in the way of new services or events from the OUI'POST. SPACE PROBLEM This year LUSU has had a plethora of new clubs developing on campus. This is great! However, the problem of limited space has magnUled. I have ideas of my own to accommodate this problem. For example, we may be able to set up a common club headquarters for clubs that don't require as much office space. These clubs can share office equipment, and hold club meetings in the LUSU club room. I feel however, the people involved in clubs are most aware of their requirements and have many ideas of their own. This Is why I intend to organize a committee of club reps to address such issues as space, key and funding allocation. GOALS As V.P. Finance, there are many initiatives I will address. Among which include: Fall and Summer operations of the OUI'POST, short and long term planning for the OUI'POST and LUSU, Phase II of the Radio Station, and the implementation of a Climbing Wall. As V.P. Finance, I will continue to emphasize funding toward FREE and/or subsidized ticket prices for events held by the OU1POST. In addition, I will support funding of a variety of entertainment. As V.P. Finance This spring I will explore many alternatives for the summer operation of the OUTPOST. I feel it is Important that we choose an alternative that is financially stable, as well as in the best interest of our shareholders (YOU)! LUSU has undergone substantial growth in infa-structure, prtmarily due to the OU1FOST. At this point, I feel it is essential that as V.P. Finance, I initiate the development of short and long-term planning. In doing so, we can identify any potential opportunities or problems we may face in our operations. Uke you, I don't want any surprises! This coming year, the LU Radio Station will be advancing into Phase II & III. We will be applying for a transmitting license. I feel this is an excellent venture, and will support your views and interests when considering fund allocation. Finally, indMduals on campus are pursuing the implementation of a Climbing Wall. Providing a few wrinkles are ironed out, I feel this is a good investment for Lakehead Students to talce on. It's a healthy alternative form of recreation! BEST/WORST QUALITY' My best and worst quality can be seen as similar, thatls I am living off campus.

It was from the vandalism here which saw the expulsion of sfx students from all parts of residence . I believe their ban is justffted and that this action was a step in the right direction. Vandalism is not going to stop and we shouldn't kid ourselves or anyone else. The question arises thus, how far do we go to punish the masses for acts of few, if they can not be found out? I personally do not like the idea of •passing the buck.. as it were, it can•t even be said that the vandalism taken place on campus is done by our student body. Thus it becomes hard to Justify any action against our student community. My best solution is show students right at the beginning of the year the costs of vandalism, the money comes from ie: cutting out of further and better education and higher student fees. Hey were all adults. Lets act that way! Before we lose privileges such as a licensed bar, lets not kid ourselves it could happen! SOCW, PROBLEMS I believe that Lakehead has to worry more than just social problems on campu~What i mean is that, I am particulartty concerned about the fact every two days one garbage bin full ofgood food coming from Versa is thrown away quite hastily. Do we not have a "shelter.. here in ThunderBay? Yes, I believe so! This is a major social problem especially when this campus can come out and provide some very much needed food, it probably wouldn't even cost us anything as they would gladly come to pick it up every day for free. Here we do the community a great service and we as students lend a hand in waste management and we gain in the appreciation of the citizens ofThunderBay, who may now open their doors and homes to future students. As for on campus social problems, I believe that people in different faculties don't know anything or little about another faculty, thus we arrive at the constantly put down of Outdoor recreation students who's course load is two times that of any Arts students. There course sounds easy by name but thats all. Thus basically we have to learn about each other. GOALS My goals for the upcoming year are to give students the best responsible secure time that cp Walsh THAT S CORRELATIVE POLYPHILOPROGENITIVE TO VOU VANDALISM 11 Christine Fisher 11 11 11 We should be using the Argus as a medium for exposing the perpetrator and ensurtng that they are persecuted to the full extent of the law. i would also suggest an increase in student security on the prtme nights (thursdays). Vandalism seems to stem from drunken folks' propensity for a primordial response to personal frustration. Perhaps these folks would find other means of venting their frustration (self-manipulation) if they knew that they may be exposed to their peers via the Argus. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Environmental concerns continue to be the most pressing issues on the planet for obvious reasons. At a local level. ECHO)) continues to lead the way with activities such as the upcoming Environmental Awareness Week. The environmental problem is one facet in a greater social problem that can only be resolved through a change in people's thinking. With the rtse of grassroots clubs such as B.G.L.L.U., heterosexist and homophobic attitudes may eventually -change. If people had a little more humility about themselves and their place in the universe, many would not be as frustrated or insensitive to changing times. Student apathy is obviously a problem which stifles any attempt to effect change. An innovative and creative way of approaching the aforementioned social problems will have to be sought. We must"attempt to remove the rigid bind of massproduced solutions. GOALS ·,As with past years, i'd stlll enjoy attempting to subvert the dominant paradigm. In the words of NOMEANSNO: Question the answers, stir the solutions; in the end, for light, you must burn your conclusions. BEST/WORST QUALITY Best Quality: A humorously creative yet strident belief in reform. Worst Quality: i'm a procrastinator. they can achieve in one year and hopefully years to come. Another goal is to ensure that the courses offered in the calender are actually offered in the up coming year for students now find that because of courses not offered the year , disallows them to take a desired course in the next academic year, thus a crucial m1nn could be lost and future employment as well. BEST/WORST QUALITY · • My best quality would have to be that i'm very approachable and open to ideas and critlcism while maintaining a sense of humour to keep the edge off. My worst quality pushing my point too far, which could be a good thing in the position of V.P. Student Issues. 11 Craig Grice DOES BO KNOW LUSU? 11 VANDALISM As everyone knows vandalism has become quite a hot topic around campus. Rumours have it, they may even closel he Outpost. However, the Outpost is not just a service to the small handful of people vandalizing but a service to the entire student body. Idealistically, increased securtty and lightlng:yvould best solve the problem. Realistically, because of budget constraints, it depends upon the students to take action against vandalism. We must police ourselves. Many concerned students have brought forth the idea of a "clime stopper" program. The university would give a small financial reward for any tips leading to the arrest of a vandal. On a larger scope. it would be most effective for not only the students safety but to the protection of our university community. SOCIAL PROBLEMS Although vandalism is a social issue, there are other social . problems which are frequently mentioned. As Residence Programmer, I see a large gap between residance and off-campus student. Both share the university facilities, yet one goes way and one goes the other. As a student senator and residance programmer I have learned concepts that could bridge the two groups. Another social problem is the Outpost. Many people have complained about service items that include food, waitstaff and doorstaff. There are also many complaints I have heard. What I would like to see is more consistency witl1 service and regulations. Some other socila grievances I would like to deal with are better accessibility for thhe physically challenged, better communication between facilities, and more organized registration week. GOALS As for goals for next year. I would like to see a health plan implemented. and a men's volleyball team. By working with administration I want birthdates on student cards, an increased budget for off campus housing and to increase security regardless of budget constraints. W«unust work around the situation to make our campus look and feel safe. BEST/WORST QUALITY As for myself, I would say my worst quality would be the constant work I take on. I have a difficult time delegating authority. Mt best ·quality would be my dedicated, personable attitude toward.every single issue I acquire.

In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly W1ll1ams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyball squad asofWednesday. It is presumed that Wt1Jtams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Wt1Jtams has written a formal letter to myself explaining her situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. -nie fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter.

OnSaturday, January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sittlngon the bench. This is what I was upset about, after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre, head coach) ·on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however, there were other factors which brought me to my decision.· - Kelly V-Ball Squ.ad. ~w•ps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend wtth yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team. The first match saw the NorWesters play Without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later w.tthced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wtng of another.

Whileactlng. directing, producing. raising a family and travelling abroad, BW Cosby stlll ftnds the tlme to write books. Why does he do it? (you might ask) after reading his latest book entitled Childhood, the answer in his own words is quite simply "to entertain.• Childhood does not have a distinguishable plot, cllmax, hero or even a lady in distress for that matter, it is not a romance, a mystecy, or a drama. It is a very interesting collection of stories from the childhood of Bill Cosby. Cosby relives his boyhood and is kind enough to share it with the reader in the style he is famous for. Regardless of how the experience effected him at the tlme Cosby ftnds in each situation a abundance of humour and forces the reader to laugh alongwithhim. He shares some of his most embarrassing moments. (Uke bedwetting) and some of his most glorious {such as being a school cross guard); Cosby does not Just tell one BIJO(IJS IN TUt~. stocy atkr- another - he compares childhood back then with childhood of today. He humorously points out how children have changed from when he ~ a kid. By giving insight into tales from his own children, he mocks the difference , between then and now. One can only conclude that there is as confusing a lack of understanding between adult and child back then as there is today. Cosby's writing is a lot like his acting. and his stand up. If you are looking for a book rich in plot and literary device perhaps this is not the novel for you. If however you are in for some light. enterta1n1ng reading, look for Bill Cosby. that is what he does best. BOOGIE CHILLUN' Music: WITH THE HOOK 1960's.

Zfotn, llmmanuel Ouenfrfve, 1992. The stranger took me by surprtse as I tottered out of the Argus office. He was concealed behind one of the mammoth orange refuse containers that so enthusiastically domJnate the Vending Room. Out he sprang, clutching a cheap handgun. Was some gun control coalition shooting a commerctal at my expense? His gun went off, the bullet struck me square In the belt buckle and knocked me flat onto the Vending Room Floor. I crtnged as he loomed over me, preparing the coup de grace. "You're not Brtan B.,· he said. -You're no Jack Ruby your-· seJ.f, • I replied. The bullet had ricocheted tnto a coffee machine and now fresh versa-brewed mud was pouring out onto the floor. A couple of bearded students 1n engtneertngjackets were helpIng themselves. My assaulter offered a hand which I graciously refused. Brushing otf any of his halfwitted apologies, I hastened to the bookstore. where I fantasized about the textbooks I couldn't afford. Then It was off to the Agora, where now I sit composing. Apparently there's a little too much empty space here In the Agora. The space committee, an agoraphobic organization presumably tn charge of such things, has decreed that a lot of this empty space be destroyed to make way for artificial trees, plants, furniture, and Looking Up magazine stands. I wonder If the space committee Is aware ofa more sert- ous empty-space excess on campus. On Analyst Annie's mallbox, to be exact AA Is getting awfully lonely here. When questioned about the situation, WSU president Ian Middleton cited the Native Student's proposed Pow-wow and ECHO's EnvtronmentalAwarenessdtspJayas events that may suffer from the empty space destruction. Presumably, all such events could be moved to other high-traffic areas such as the tunnel Just outside the LUSU office or the dance floor of the Outpost. The Outpost has also been generating optnlons among the socially conscious Journallsts of Thunder Bay. When I sat down In the space-dominated Agora today, the first thing I noticed was a trampled bit of newsprint covered tn mud and graffltlatmyfeet lthadseemed unimportant at the time, but now, as I examine It. what should It be but a copy of the Januaiy 10th Chronicle Journal? The word 'pub' was featured on the opinion page. I scanned the underlying editorial. The uncredited author of the piece was under the delusion that the 'Post was built from taxpayer's dollars. Yes, th1s Js circuitously true, as a great number of students are now mournfully taxed on their OSAP loans, and no student can escape the almighty GST. Student Union elections are next week; even though I have little faith in democracy as practised by the U.S., Cap.ada. and LUSU, I will vote and I encourage you to do so as well. Which Is worse, voting a few loose cannons Into positions of au- thortty or not havtng the opportunity to dump those same cannons the next year? As Steve Earle says. "If you don't vote, don't bttch.• From the Agora I can look up and see that I'm tn the shadows of the Exam office.

Maybe It's because 111 be working full time and I'll be able to afford my textbook. Maybe on another day I'll go up there. This orgy of opinion has left me famished.

Television c-ommercials promoting TEDs or thigh-enhancing devices have been broadcasted tnto our living rooms for thepastcoupleofmonths. The two most popular TEDs currently adverUsed are Thigh Master (plugged by SU2.arule Somers) and Thigh Toner. From these commercials, it would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are In. However, a big problem With 1EDs Js they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devtces their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Justtmagtne 1ED users' friends saying, "Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.· So Individuals seeking the perfect body must wait for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TE,D users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition Is named Jn honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months. she almost disappeared. and became known as Little Opie to thousands of adoring fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled tn stze and earned the nickname, The Grand oi· Oprah. (That terrible pun is for all the Country and Western fans out there). Tots boomer- . ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect, and It applies to anyone who stops usIng some trendy diet food or exercise device, For 'JED users, il means that once they,· stop using their 1EDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using the1r1EDs shortly after purchasing them, dlehard users who over-tn-dulge tn the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. Aftera while their ·-legs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You know the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all knotted with veins sticking out. And women purchaslng'IEDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think lEDs should be promoted to people Interested In body building. Arnold Schwarzenegger would be an excellent spokesman for such devices. He could hold up a 1ED and say something like, "Look at my thighs. Are ~ not bulgtng and taut?

For the first tlme in LUSU history- an all femaleexecuttvehas been voted into office. Cass Koenen narrowly defeated Paul Moniz by a 122 vote margin. Christine Fisher and Tanya Tougas defeated their opponents in landslide victories. Current WSU president Ian Middleton said that he had •the utmost oonfldence in the people (who won the election). They have a lot of experience and understanding of how the university system works and they will be effective... • The new executive takes over on April 1. Tots election also saw a record number of voters. Approximately 1636 students voted In this election, putting the per- centage of voter turn out above 3 ~ s Koenen, this year's Vice-President for Student Issues, polled a total of679votes, defeating Paul Moniz by 122 votes. Cass Koenen is the fourth female LUSU president. Koenen said that it was a •dtrty fight, but I overcame it all. And I'm very- glad it's over.• Koenen, who takes over on April Fool's day, said thatsheoouldn't watt for April to come, and that she 1s •extremely excited to be part of an all female executive.• Moniz, who is graduattngthis year and will not be back next year, thanked eveiyone "that voted for me and believed in me.• Moniz was working at the Outpost last night as the election results were tallied. He wished the new executive the best of luck, yet commented •1et's hope they keep this place (the Outpost) afloat.• Koenen's victoiy may not be without incident. Peter George, who came 1n third with a total of 145 votes, indicated that he may oontest the election on the grounds that some ofKoenen's friends worked as poll clerks, with the insinuation that they may have told voters to support - Koenen. When asked fora oommentabouthis placing, George said "'lhe truth will come out. I'm very disappointed with the selection of the polling clerks.• WSU election policy states that polling clerk selection ls made at random, and LUSU employees are not permitted to endorse any candidate at any tlme. Tanya Tougas won the seat of Vice-president Finance by a landslide victory-. Tougas polled a total of 808votes,whileheropponents polled a total of 771 votes. Tougas did not arrive at the university until about 11 :30pm. She went out to see a movie to relieve herself of the stress of the election night.

However, program director Derek Serianni is hoping to expand the station soon. eventually including The Study, the cafeterias and the Outpost. Another scenart9 would be the operation of LU radio through the Maclean-Hunter network. Serianni also outlined a three year plan for establishing a station operating outside of L. U. The ftrst step is to build up the selection of music, set up formal training for radio personnel, and improve on the equipment. Phase two would be the installment of a Maclean Hunter feed. Ultimately, the station's goal is to broadcast on the FM frequency. The FM frequency is less expensive, and also has a betterftdelity, making it is easier to transmit. The problem is, the only tower in Thunder Bay is privately owned. The Canadian Radio Television Commission (CRrC), is currentlyrevisingits policies With a revision due in Februaey. Under present guidelines, a campus station should be a non-profit organization, and should provide for an alternative music format to the to Bu FC DeGGQne existing stations.

He admitted the University System has been underfunded for 12 to 15 years and it will be 'a number of years' before funding returns to reasonable levels. As part of the funding announcement, MCU is going to be looking for Universities to discuss 'restructuring, reshaping and reconstruction' as well as internal ftnancing, professor education and the manner of teaching. Allen emphasised the need for increased co-operation between Colleges and Universities and that innovative programmes like distance education would be looked upon favourably by MCU'.

In the question period that followed, the Minister was asked to elaborate on a numberofthetssuesheraised inhisopentngremarks. While artfully dancing around questions, some important facets of government poltcy did emerge. MCU is not going to play a leading role in the 'restructuring' debate. Instead, universities are going to have to reach some sort of consensus on their own. Given that universities are autonomous corporations, it seems unlikely that any kind of system wide restructuring Will emanate from these discussions. When asked about the reinstatement of programmes or faculties that might have to be terminated because of the cuts, Allen refused to say that MCU would ensure that they would be reinstated. When questioned on the OSAP review process and when the task will be completed, Allen stated that OSAP is now intertwtned With the system Wide re-evaluation taking place and that mid year was the earliest possible date for the release of the report. Therefore, any changes to OSAPwjJJ not be ready until 93/94 academic year. Some minor changes will be announced With the release of the report, but the Minister refused to elaborate on the nature of these changes. Working groups for Lakehead's Academic Planning met on Tuesday January 29 to discuss their respective goals and Issues.

Each worktnggroup consists of faculty members or staff. Ian Middleton. President of LUSU. sits on the Teaching and Learning working group. Comments and questions were taken from a forum of faculty and staff. including Lakehead's President Bob Rosehart. The interaction between the faculty was mediated by Vice President Dr. John Whitfield, who also provided from the forum consisted of •1ntemal reviews are fodder for the planning process", •academic decisions are made for non-academic reasons". and "internal confidence 1s important for enforctngthe image ofthe university". Also discussed was the question of children of faculty who attend universities other than Lakehead and the implications associated with it. There also was interest to formulate a consistent university mission statement. Some concern for students was the predictions of financial turmoil which may come as a result from govenunent influence on universities. The present government was said to have had the most negative influence, or promises to have, to affect out educational system. We can expect changes due to these financial difficulties. "Some things may have to go" was a prediction. Another was that study toward PhDs would have to be eliminated. Questions of research versus teaching abilities were raised.

But considering the circumstances, I find tt hard to believe that he'll receive much more than our best wishes and a few dozen complimentaiy shipments offood. It's clear that Canada is having its own share of problems, economically and constitutionally, and any investment in the Common wealth of Independent States is like tossing pennies into a black hole. But ft is my prediction that if we continue along the rather unimaginative and lackadaisical path that we've been on so long, we'll slowly emerge from our recession only to be cut short when Quebec loses interest in us and files for divorce, leaving Canada fragmented and weak. And meanwhile, the reforms in the Commonwealth will fail dramaticallywith massive food riots, and political and economic chaos, resulting inevitably in a new repressive militaiy regime, the CIS having already been primed for rampant nationalism, isolationism and fascism. My predictions are all rather morbid, so rather than dwelling on the negative I've gotten to dreaming in my own naive and simplistic manner for ways around our problems. I have been struck that all of the difficulties and barriers to be overcome around the world, looked at in a positive light. transform into wonderful and fantastic opportunities for us all. Wouldn't it be something. I thought. for Canada to abandon it's role as the most boring nation on earth, to take a leap into the uncertain, and begin a spedal relationship with Russia and the other Commonwealth states. And what better way might there be to get acquainted than by becoming a leading member in the Commonwealth of Independent States. With our economy as it is, I can't imagine a better "make-work project" with which to energize and unite our nation. Though our workforce is minuscule compared to our would-be partners, we have a great number of experienced business executive/management types,(many of whom are presently unemployed) to offer the Commonwealth. I imagine the complete restructuring of industry and agriculture in the CIS might be led by Canadian experts. And though the CIS would have little money or incentive for thousands of Canadians, if the Soviet bureaucracy were completely stripped to it's bares skeletal structure, our people might be offered the benefits once granted to the upper echelon nf the communist party. This is not a dream of an outsider wanting to build thousands of McDonalds' across the Commonwealth (sucking the blood from the corpse), but rather one of revttaltzationandcooperation within a union. So one might ask, where is the big pay-back? Besides preparing a partnership in the largest potential market in the world. our action might stave-off the bad dreams that I fear most. - Starvation and Civil War in the-CIS - the emergence of fascism and a new Cold War - as well as the disintegration of an aimless Canada, too bored with ttselfto care.

Paula Vanveen LELLAVA RESPONDS to Argus article Jan 30, 1992 As former Coordinator of the Gender Issues Centre, I would like to offer some comments andclariftcaUonwith respect to Sharon Docherty's article entitled, •Gender Centre an Issue•, published tn theJanuaiy 30, 1992 edition of The Argus. Let me acquaint you with the facts, which were either misleadingly presented and/or totally omitted in the aforementioned article. I am leaving my position at the Gender Issues Centre because I have been offered a wonderful job opportunity elsewhere. Although, as I informed Ms. Docherty, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Centre, I have received an offer that I cannot refuse. My decision to accept the new opportunity has not been based on the "problems• around which Ms. Docherty'& article focussed With respect to student frustration regarding the inaccessibility of the Centre during student hours, I would like to say that we were unable to get the voluntaiy coverage we needed to keep the Centre open for five full days per week. Perhaps concerned students who wish to see the Centre open on a full-time basis would consider donating some of their lunch hours to this worthy cause. Concerning the article's coverage ofthe present volunteer situation, I did tell Ms. Docherty that we have realized the need for closer supervision, however, I did not say that the volunteers were ·not really clear on what they had to do", which was not the case. With respect to the three weeks of"vacatfon• time which I took Just before and after Christmas, I would like to point out that these weeks were, in fact, "lieu• time for the extra hours I had worked in the fall. There is a world of difference between the two terms. F1nally, I do not recall stating that one of the major problems at the Centre was •a lack of" collaboration between Cass and myself. I do, however, remember saying that Cass and I had discussed the need for more of a partnership between the two of us with respect to the success of the Centre. In any case, ft was never my intent to cast a shadow on Cass' effectiveness as a student executive. NO'IE: Sharon Docherty dropped by to Inform me that positive statements regarding the Centre and my departure were cut from the article without her knowledge.

In trying to appeal to as many people as possible I have trled to usegenerally acceptable terms and phrases to get my point across effectively. so that there could be no grey area in my position.

Dear Editor, I am not wrlUng to ask for advice but I need to get some important problems concerning the campus off my chest. last year LUSU started channelling part ofmy tuition·towards a new student centre. The new stu~ent centre tumedout to be a few class rooms.a few offices.but for the most part. a very profitable bar. I attend bars regularly but I do not think part of my tuition should have been used to support a place that will be in the black soon. I feel the extra tuition could have been spent more appropriately elsewhere. An example ofbetteruse of funds is to upgrade the library and \or sports facllfties. Everyone knows the library needs a facelift and expansion. The equipment in the weight room fs in sad need of upgrading. As the exercise room stands, there is now only one operational exercise bike. Lookatwhat the•outpost" does for our campus. It does generate a lot of money for LUSU. We all know about the huge line-ups thatoccureveryweekend. We also know about the vandalism generated after a good drunk in the bar. Oh yes, there is nothing more fun than demolishing your campus after a good night in the pub. One thing I do not know is what is happening with all the money being made by the new pub ? Before X-mas some intellectual mfdget(s) smashed our school sign. I had to look at the results every day for a month. Eveiy time l drove by the remains l felt as ifl was attending a junior high school for juvenile delinquents.I have respect for the institution that l am attending for my post secondary education. It really bums my ass that the jerk off losers that broke the school sign might actually graduate from Lakehead Unfversity. Think ofwhat will happen totheschool'scredibilftyfiveyears from now when these people are representing our university in the real world. last weekend a buddy living on campus had his red sports car vandalized in the residents parking lot. The damage to the car was of his (:al" a product of jealousy ? or was it because of his oriental ancestry ? I don't know the answer to these questions, but I do know that the vandalism was a direct attack on my friend , on myself and on many others on campus. Getting hammered at the school bar does not constitute destruction of private or campus property. last week I read that Greg Beckford proposed an idea to attempt to curb the Outpost line ups and destruction of school property. This plan was opposed by some in the students Union executive because it might lower profits. I think Greg is on the right track. Visiting drunks are probably causing some of the damage on campus. I also think that the people who opposed the proposed plan on the Students Union should care more about the quality of life for the students than losing some customers that don·t belong in the campus bar anyway. I am fed up with the way LUSU operates and how 1t has adversely affected the image of this campus. Thenewbarhasgeneratedb!gbucks and bfg trouble on campus.Where arc the profits going ? No money seems to get channelled where ft is needed. I cannot blame LUSU for the vandalism but I really think they should look at putting somethlngback tnto the qualftyofeducatton on the campus. For the people who have been messing with the quality oflffe on campus I offer some advice:• What comes around goes around". sincerely, Callam. Buchan, LIKES THE CLIMBING WALL CIJMBING WALLS - DO PROMO'IE nm ·guAIJ1Y OF LIFE" In the opinion of many new andretumfngstudents, Lakehead University, is becoming an excellent place to pursue more diverse and stimulating forms of higher education: The addition of the new facilities to Lakehead is concurrent to the physical growth ofthe student population. Quite simply, with morestudentsenrollingeachyear, more space is needed to accomodate them. This is a simple unquestionable fact. In the LUSU survival guide, Dr. BobRosehartstates that•eoncurrent to the physical growth, students and staff of the University are always working together to improve the quality of life at Lakehead. • nie •quality of life• at Lakehead is a questionable fact. How does a student at Lakehead improve his/her quality of life'? What ls the University doing to enhance this proposed •quality of life• expected by new and returning students? The construction of a new student centre was a good start. This long overdue facility has already proven to be a popular meeting place for students and staff alike. However, it is stfll questionable as to whether this alone is enough to enhance the quality ofstudent life oncampus. Onecanconsiderwhat is actually being promoted at a campus bar. Undoubtedly, this is a form of leisure, but let's consider the outcome- - excessive drinking, with excessive drinking comes vandalism, as has sometimes been proven. So the question is, what has Lak.ehead done in recent years to upgrade and construct newfadlities (other than the new campus pubandmoreclassrooms)toseivice this proposed improvement in sfgnfftcant. The damage to him was greater. Was the destruction the •quality of life" for its diverse population of students? The recreation opportunities available on this campus are by current Unfversity standards, bordering on obsolete. The simple .fact is, there has been no addition to the existing infrastructure of the recreation community. The traditional •old boys club• sports are not as popular as they were in the past. Students interests change and evolve, and with this there is a need for more diverse forms of recreational pursuits. As with academic material, recreation opportunities must be continuously updated if the university ls to remain competitive amongst it's southern counterparts. To date, Lakeheadhas not kept up with the current facilities in the field of recreation. one of the more popularnewwsports sweeping the nation ls tha~ of indoor rock climbing on artifldal surfaces. This sport has gained so much popularity in such a short time that, it will be a demonstration sport in the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria B.C.. Western canadian universittesare already implementing climbing walls, fortunately they have the foresight to plan for the future. There are a number of key reasons why a climbing wall at Lakehead would be a lucritive and worthwhile addition to the infrastructure of the University; 1) Active & diverse recreational pursuits have a positive effect on the personality and the physical well being of the individual. 2) •Recreatfonexperiences provide an excellent opportunity for the handicapped to associate informally with society as a whote•(Margalfs, 1979) In 1991, a climber with i:io legs scaled the face of El Capitan. His training consisted mainly of indoor rock Civil Engineering, Year 5. wall workouts. 3) Lakehead's location in one ofthemostdiverseclfmbingareas in the country. Eventually the area willharbourameccaofclimbing enthusiasts. The rock wall would provide off season training - a much needed facflfty considering our winters. 4) Enhance the attractiveness of Lakehead University to prospective students, as being one of the only universities in Ontario to boast an indoor climbing facility. Basically, the better the wall the more prestige for the University. 5) Provide economic benefits to the student union by renting or contractingoutthefacilftytovarious organizations in and around Thunder Bay. Hosting climbing competitions is also a very profitable venture these days. In summary, leisure actMties such as a rock climbing, offer individuals the opportunity to learn to control negative felfngs ·and emotions and to express a positiveoutlook. (With the rash of disturbances on campus lately this facility would be overused!) The four hundred students who signed the petition, supporting the climbing wall, deftnftely feel a facllfty of this nature would truly enhance the NQualfty of life" on campus. It would add a new dimension to the university as a whole and would provide the Physical Education department and the Outdoor Recreation department with a state of the art teaching/instructional facility. So, when LUSU candidates are on the podium, ask them about the climbing wall, and why your 75 dollars ls going into bailing out that •oh so" appropriately named bar the ·outhouse· -- I mean the Outpost(sony).

Brendan Waye 2ndyrHBOR - �The Argus Page 5 Februaiy 6. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT Theater SINCERELY, A REVIEW by Sue Kemp The powerful poetry of Leonard Cohen was brought to life before my eyes on Friday night In Magnus Theatre's latest production •stncerely A Friend•. The show features a fantastic band called The Jazz Police and five talented singers.who perform twentyfour of Cohen's works. There Is no dialogue and the show has no plot but through the music and the lyrics, the singers set a distinct mood and tone. Cohen has sometimes been criticized for being·too morbid and pesslmlstlc,but to me his poetly Is representative of real human emotion. We cannot ignore those darker emotions that stir within us,and I think •stncerely A Friend• accurately conveys this. The singers are dressed up to look like street- people.and through the songs they reveal their troubled pasts. They sing of thwarted loves, lonellnes s, and despair.and I was impressed by their emotional and moving Interpretations of Cohen's lyrics. Mostoftheshowis characterized by a certain melancholy.but there are some moments of black humour In songs like •rm Your Man· and •0on'tGoHomeWith YourHan:l 0n·. The singers all gave extremely strong performances, and I was particularly impressed by Cliff Le Jeune, the Artistic Director of Newfoundland's Stephenville Festival where the show originated. His sensual playfulness and emotional Intensity were very powerful. The band was excellent also. Their combination ofelec- tronlc sounds, and acoustic instruments like the guitar and the cello made for unique music. My only criticism Is that I found some of the numbers were a little too •Jazzed up• .compared to Cohen's orlgl- A visually stimulating stage photo nals. ·stncerely A Friend· probably,lsn't everyone's taste.but if you enjoy a show with deep meaning and powerful emotion I would detlnitely recommend It. Even if you are not famtllar with Cohen's work.I think you wtll still be able to relate to his lyrics. The show runs at Magnus until Febnwy 8,and you can get tickets by call1ng the Box Office at 6231321.

He's all yours.• •But Marlin, I don't have any tranquilizer darts.• •gu1t your whining you weenie! All you have to do ts wrestle hJm to the ground and after you get hJm pinned, we'll come down and help you collar and taghJm.• ·okay Marlin. Sounds good.· Like most kids, I had a number of heroes when I was growing up. There was Batman and Robin, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, and M11ll and Vanilll. But. my favourtte heroes were, without a doubt, Marlin and. Jim. You remember Marlin and Jim, don't you? They were the stars of that perennial megabit 1V show, Mutual of Omaha's, lYils1 + Kln4dom. During each show, this dynamic duo would capture such horrendous beasts as elephants, rhinos, and wooly pandas. The key to the show's success was the excellent working relationship between Marlin and Jim. Marlin was the brains of the operation and coordinated things from the air In his helicopter, mllesawayfromany real danger.Jim was the brawn. always poised for action In his Jeep which he shared with the timid, yet cannibalistic native guides. Marlin and Jim communicated by walkie-talkie. Marlin Although Marlin and Jim only captured wild animals on their show, I feel that a 'Marlin and Jim' team could work wonders here on campus. One of the problems they could solve Is vandallam. They could stake out trouble spots and when something Is vandali7.ed, Jim could Ore a dart Into the vandal's butt After the criminal staggered away and collapsed, Marlin and Jim could place a radtotransmittlng collar around the culprit's neck. tag his ear, weigh hJm and examine his teeth to determine his age. They could put this lnfor- matlon Into a vandalism data bank and then release the scoundrel. After letting hJm go, his mtgratoiy vandallzlng patterns could be tracked by radar. Another problem a Marlin andJimteam could solve Is the overcrowd.Ing that occurs outside The Outpost. As stated In last week's Argus, huge lineups often occuroutslde the pub on certain nights. Marlin and Jim could rectify this situation by shooting tranquilizer darts at certain peopl~ standing in ltne. The tranquilized patrons could be · loaded into vans, driven across town t would rather be darted than have to wait In line for hours and hours. Without a Marlin and Jim team, the vandalism and overcrowding problems here at LU wtll not go away. So if you are a CEREBELLA 'Marlin' or 'Jim' type, please contact LU Securtty to volunteer your services. If you are lucky enough to qualify, you might Just get your own rifle and tranquilizer darts.

This Is the guiding principal Hollywood banks on. In the two pictures I look at this week this rule applies. In "The Rand That Rocka the Cradle" the formula works in "Shlnn1ng Through·, nothing seems to work. In both these pictures the television ads are deceiving. "Tiie Hand that Rocks the Cradle· is advertised as a hack-and, slash type movie but what we are really given isa predictable phycological thriller, that comes through. It can briefly be described as a nice American family that meets the babysitter from hell, who believes in the adage -What comes around goes around·. The performances were solid with the exception of the wimpy father (Matt McCoy) who does nothing in this film excepted fall down the stairs. Ernie Hudson gives a first rate performance as a mentally disabled handyman. He can see through the babysitter's plan when no one else can. The plot Is standard but this film Is a tjlaracterdrivenstorythatstands up well. You believe that the babysitter is dangerous and are kept tense throughout the show. An enjoyable movie that asks theageoldquestlon-Who'swatching my baby? "SbintngThroag'b" Is a poorly written, falsely advertised movie. It would seem that this picture was a world war II drama or action flick. Instead it is a prolonged love story that never gets going. Add to this the fact that the major star Michael Douglas is only in about a half an hour, while the studio would have you believe he plays a staring role. Everything in this film is predictable, the are no saving graces. This movie was scheduled for release in September but was held back for 8ve months by the studio and I can see why. The movie begins with a now tired devise, Melanie Grlfflth is an old lady looking back at her past This device is destroyed by the fact that Grlfflth uses the sameyoungvoice in her old state as in her flashbacks. You know that irritating squeaky voice that just grated on your mind all though the movie. Add to her irritating voice her wooden acting and you get a bad movie. Even the villain in this film is dull so that you never feel the Germans are dangerous. Nor do you ever experience any sense of adventure. The key nazi Is played by Liam Neeson (better known as Darkman) who worked with what he was given in the script which is nothing and comes off lookinglike a stereotypical dunce nazi. This villain is so bad that when he goes for his gun in his bed room drawer he is so slow that the heroine can get back to her room get the secret micro film and escape the house before he gets down the stairs. The love story is cliche and the spy thriller so unthrilling that I can see why Micheal Douglas was in so little of the movie. When Douglas Is in the film his presents Is so over powering you forget Grlfflth is in the scene with him.

The absurdity is continued as equally heroic and Swiss boarder guards shoot germen guards on the German side of the boarder, a historical fallacy which ignores the fact that the Swiss would not have provoked German reprisals. Throw in a plot to destroy the german VI missiles which despite this picture's history were used by the germane in World War II and you have a story that changes history without even mentioning it. Sure this ls a movie that can skip reality but how can you Justify using a historical setting and then changing history.

It is explosive and bombastic, not mentioning a powerful trumpet solo that Jumps at you with incredible force. John Mellencamp has stripped all the "folk" instrumentation of previous albums and has gone for the throat with the basic guitar, bass, drums approach. The music is simple and direct, but at the same time com~ding. The lyrics have been stripped down also. Heis no longer writing about political issues (although it seems a little slips into a few songs), rather more personal and sometimes just fun lyrics.

Also scoring high was Les Ragguette with 18 points and 14 rebounds, Ray Foster getting 14 points and Anthony Randall adding 6.

Volleyhall Stplad S"1eeps: Looking For Best Flnlsll Ever by Ian T. Fero : The LU womens varsity volleyball squad swept the visiting Brock Badgers at the fteldhouse this past weekend. The Lady Badgers came to the Thunderdome needing at least a win to have a realistic shot at playoff action, but the Lady NorWesters squashed their. chances winning both nights by the identical 3-1 set score. The Badgers came out flying taking the first set 17-15. In that set the Nor"wesfers were actually down by a score of 11-3 before coming back only to J drop the opener. The team came back strong taking the next three sets 15-9, 15-10 and 17-15. There were some excellent rallies ·a nd defensive work with the home team recording 94 • digs in the four sets. Kelly Breutigam led the way with 35 k1lls, 4 aces and 21 digs for LU. Teamates Andie Aitken (23 digs). Kim Rubbra (22 digs), Geraldine Bergmans (8 blocks) and Jo-Anne Hood (10 digs 46 assists) also made hefty contributions. Saturday started out much the same with the NorWestersdropptngthefirst set again, this time by the score of 15-8. "'We just came out flat." remar~ed LU head coach Claude Lapre. "'WeJust weren't as intense as they were, they thought coming in that they could win twice and after losing Friday they knew they had to win Saturday to have a chance at the playoffs." coach Lapre added. Lakehead displayed excellent composure in the following set. Trailing 13-6 • theNorWesterschtppedaway at the lead and continued to side-out well before drawing close, only to win the set 1613. The third set saw much of the same, another comeback this time by Brock. With LU leading 9-1 the Lady Badgers stormed back to bring the score to 13-12beforethel..ady NorWesters put them away. The fourth set saw the home team jump out to a 4-0 lead and kept a four point lead for most of the match until Brock made ,it 14-13 only to have the LU pull out the set 15-13. Breuttgam had 39 k111s, 4 aces and 19 digs to pacethewinnerswithRubbra • adding 9 kills and 15 digs, Hood·51 assists, 3 aces and: 13 digs and Aitken with 14 big digs. Panda Edwards and Alyson Nicol also made some quality digs to pump the team when down in the second set. Coach Lapre commended the Brock effort by admitting that the visitors were the only team yet capable of matching the conditioning ofhis team. Lapre went on to say that the slow and relaxed style of Brock was different to the normally fastpaced LU squad; "they suck the energy right out of you" remarked coach Ian Cull. As of Nov.3 LU has the lead in the conference with a 10-2 record. McMaster is second with a 9-1. It will take a lot ofhelp for Lakehead to claim first with Mac needing to lose 2 of their last four matches and LU needing to win Its last two. Lakehead will play at Western (1-9) . this weekend. Apafr Qfwtnswould gtve theNorWesters their best everconferencerecord. Coach Lapre is very positive about a sweep and hopes to give all his players some action as a playoff tune-up. With this playoffberth r.u become=s the only team in the conference to make the playoffs the last three years in a row. .

The annual LUSU Executive ElecUons l8 earned out under a format designed to facilitate maximum voter turn out. Maximlztng tum out Is Important to the candidates for obvious reasons, but It Is also Important that the elected lndtvlduals have as clear a mandate as possible: a 5% voter tum out does not guarantee that the winners of the election actually are the clear cholceofmostofthe student body. For that matter, neither does the better than 25% tum out we had last week. but the confidence level Is much ~er that the results reflect the maJortty of students· opinions. The system cummtly In place to regulate against people voting more than once depends to an extent on the honesty of the lndMdualstudentStudentcards ~ marked by the polling clerks, and names are crossed off of the alpha list at the booth where the tndtvldual votes, but for those of us who have more than one LU student card tt would not be difflcult to push the syatem. That ts why the Deputy Retum1ng ,Offlcercross-checks thealphabsts to see If anyone hae wted more than once. This past election, one Individual voted three separate times at three separate polllng stations. Multiple voting Is a crlminaloffence under the Ontario El.ecttonsAct. the leglslat.ton which regulatea any clecUon held by LUSU. The Elections Act stipulates a fine of up to $1000.00 or a 6-month jail term or both as penalties for an ellglble voter who votes more than once. WSU Elections, however are not Provincial Government elections, which is what the Elections Act was designed for, so tt Is Inappropriate for further actlon to be taken against the individual who voted three times In our relattvely inslgnlflcant elecUon. Because the election results were not close, the 2 extra votes had no effect on the outcome of the voting, so Jt Is difflcult to see , what the lndtvldual concerned hoped to accompbsh. SlmJlarly, because the elecUon results were not close, the fact that someo.ne voted more than once does not put the outcome Into question. It does however, put the reputation of the indtvldual concerned Into question. As this ls betng written, the cross-checldng of the alpha IJsts continues.

TORONTO (CUP) - Toronto abortion clinics are still under attack. fouryears after the Supreme Court of Canadastruckdownthefederal law on abortion. An entranceway to the Morgentaler clinic was set onftre by a gasoline bomb at 2 a.m. Jan. 24. causing $5.000 worth of damage. Three days later. a woman posing as a patient set off a stink bomb in a clinic bath-. room. Neither incident shut the clinic down. And earlier th:ls month. Campaign Life - an antiabortion group - estab1:lshed a storefront office next door to the Cabbagetown Women's clinic. which performs abortions. Workers at the clinic say members of Campaign Life have been harassing women as they enter the clinic. Henry Morgentaler said he believes the violence :Is commgfrom a group of people who are frustrated. "They are acts of people whose cause :Is lost.,. he said. -rhey are crazy. This is speculation. but perhaps they want to commemorate 'the Jan. 28 (1988) Supreme Court decision on abortion.,. The court struck down the federal law on abortion. saying it violated a woman's right to privacy. Carolyn Egan. spokesperson for the Ontario Coalition for .t\.bortion .GIµµc~ . .. agreed with Morgentaler. ·1t shows the frustration of anti-choice individuals because they are losing their battle. They are now trying to intimidate staff and patients through violent means.'" The Morgentaler clinic has a court injunction prohibiting anti-abortion protestorsfrom demonstrating within 500 metres of the clinic. The clinic. open since 1983. had been the focus of many protests in which demonstrators attempted to block access to the clinfc. - Jim Hughes. national president of Campaign Life. said although he was aware • of the attacks on the Morgentaler clinic. the everyday business of the clinic Is far worse. "Whatever happened :Is nowhere near the violence employed in the abortuaries,,. he said. Hughes said h:ls organization was not responsible for the incidents. "No pro-lifer person a~sociated with Campaign Life would have done that,,. he said. "At Campaign Life we are non-violent." • Barbara MacFarlane. a nurse at the Cabbagetown Women's Clinic. said having a Campaign Life office next door makes clients and staff nervous.

Language" (The Argus, page three, Februaiy 6. 1992). As a regular Argus reader, I am aware that the entire story did not appear in just this particular issue. The previous issue had an article about the longest B.O.D. meetJng in L. U. 's history. As I recall, the main reason for the duration of the meetlng was that Mr. Fleguel and Mr. Squires were opposed to a motion brought forth by Mr. Beckford. Could this possibly be the reason that .Mr. Beckford called Mr. Fleguel an "asshole" during the next meeting? If so, then I can certainly understand why Mr. Beckford was so upset. Mr. Fleguel must certainly be an asshole of the highest calibre if he had the gall to disagree with one of Mr. Beckford's motions. Isn't it understood that the Board of Directors exists only for the purpose of passing those motions which Mr. Beckford agrees with? Unfortunately Greg (may I call you Greg?), this university is populated by people who have opinions and ideas of their own which may or may not agree with yours. Your motion was passed ina democratic and orderly fashion and you can be proud of the fact that other opinions were considered by the BOARD of Directors before the vote was taken. However. I think that your actions during the next meetJngwere petty and childish and that you have smeared the honour and integrity of our llttle comer of democracy. At the very least. you owe an apology to~. Fleguel and the B.O.D. Should you consider yourselftoo proud (stubborn?) to apologize then I think that you should seriously reconsider your position on the B.O.D. until'you learn to play by the rules of an adult rather than as a spoiled child.

Grant wanted to know what was meant by the term "healthy alcoholism." That particular LUSU meeting was the longest on record, lasting six and a half hours. Many Important issues were debated at that meeting. The "Pub Policy" debate, the one where Beckford made the comment, was the last one. Beckford used the term at about midrught, as the argument was coming to an end. He was defending the motion from much cliticism, and a combination of this and six hours of previous business had made hfm, and indeed the entire board, a little tired. Beckford was repeating his argument concerning the unrest that sometimes occurs in the long lines for the Pub He said that by decreasing the size and wait ofthe lines, then -one could decrease the tension and "try and promote healthy alcoholism.• To1S last line was an amusing slip of the tongue which broke the tension ofthe debate for a moment.

Les Ragguette found his grove and was fnstrumental on both ends of the court, hitting clutch baskets down the stretch. Ray Foster was the hottrfggermanforthe home team dropping 16keypofnts and hauling down 8 rebounds. Foster held his own devenstvely (as usual) and showed presence, both on the boards and from trt-fecta land. Guard Glen Eastland had 23 points for Western. Their offence was limited to the outside with LU's four big men Grace, Lalonde, Randall and· Law outplayfng their Mustang counterparts. UWO tree John Verneeren was held to only 8 pofnts on Friday and 4 on Saturday and provided no real help to the Western post game. With all the success on Saturday night, and the excitement and anticipation . building for the •rematch, any fan may have been thinking "sweep" as the teams hit the court on Saturday. However LU ran into a fast rut courtesy of a hot rookie guard, Brad Campbell. Western raced out to build a 16 pofnt bulge and the NorWestersfound themselves playing catch-up for the rest of the game. "He just had one of those games." said Pero on Campbell, who achieved 36 points on 69% field goal shooting and 90% from the ' lfne. "He showed signs of a hot hand late on Friday so we focused fn on him a bit in the pre-game speech" added Pero. With Campbell playing well, Eastland found himself open for a few easy buckets en route to another 23 pofnt performance. Once again the NorWester big men did theirpart, but again the pertmeter,.gaine paced the Mustangs. The Mustangs staked a 90-79 victory fn a gamewhfchneversaw Lakehead get withfn 5 points, a mark they achieved at the haJf. "We were a little late defensively• added Pero, it showed at times, but there isn't much you can do when you run fnto a hot shooter.

"If we play well we should win two.· remarked Pero modestly. "Les [Ragguette] is starting to play well, (Ray] Foster is getting steady, and (Dave] Pineau is playfngvery well... we're getting better with every game• he added. Right now the NorWesters are in 6th place in the confernce and have not lost hope of gaining a home playoffgame, a dream which may become reality if the team sweeps Laurter this weekend and hopefully gains a split with 1st place, and national runner-up, Guelph at home Feb 21-22.

But in spite of this renewed earth consciousness, the number of people interested in greening the earth are outnumbered by those who Just don't gtve a damn .. WhilepollsindlcatethatahugemajorityofNorthAmericans are "concerned with the environment" a quick look around proves that somebody's lying to Dectma. I'll grant that things like blue box recycling programs are springing up tn cities across the country except Thunder Bay of course (Mayor Jack Masters can be reached at 625-2213 N.B. It's an election year.) But take the simplest environmental problem there ls -- Utter. Based on the amount of garbage that never makes 1t to the trash can in our country, I'd say that the environmental movement is not the monolithic power that it is portrayed as. Tilis past summer I worked at a local grocery store. One of the morning responsiblllties we had was to pick up as much garbage as we could on our parking lots. Unfortunately for me, I was stuck with this Job on more than one occasion. The first day I went out I filled an entire garbage bag With various scraps of paper, plastic, foil, and glass. I didn't bother With cigarette butts, but if I had a nickel for every one ... The point ls, there was a lot of Utter. At first. I blamed this on the fact that whoever did the job yesterday didn't try to do a very good job. But the next day I was assigned the Job again. My first thought was, "What did I do wrong?" My second thought was, "This should be easy. I had this parking lot spotless yesterday, well at least rmtfl that lady in the red Trans Am threw a bag out her Window". Much to my surprise and chagrin! I filled yet another bag of garbage. One day. One bag. One store. 365 days in a year. Before this summer I believed that the environment was the number one thing on people's minds. What a Jokel What a Uel We haven't even been able to stop ourselves from littering. Does anyone remember the pollution solution in the 70s? Remember that stupid owl on 1V singing "Give a hoot, don't pollute"? This is 1991 ! Litter is supposed to be a solved problem. How can we blue box, blue bag, reduce. reuse, recycle, if we can't even walk an extra fifty metres with our McWaste to the trash can? . . On another front. bleached paper towel, bathroom and facial tissue outsell their unbleached counterparts (equivalently priced or cheaper) by approximately a 10: 1 ratio! What's the problem here? Does brown tollet paper not flt your bathroom decor? Should you care if it doesn't? I'm sure that our collective asses can really tell the difference between designer and unbleached paper. It's discouraging, but don't let it get to you. Be apart of a visible minority by; *Recycling your plastic bags (there are depots at local grocezy stores) or better yet, reuse them. •~ycle your pop cans. There are blue barrels on campus. *Blue bag your newspapers.

The more you buy, the lower the price will eventually be. *Don't litter. You'll feel better. *Remind your friends when they forget. We're all human and they'll have a chance later to return the favour. Nobody loses and the environment wins. What are our chances? I honestly don't know.

TGB STUDENT PERSPECTIVE : HELP CAP Nl 11 1 11 In these troubled times of ours, wouldn't 1t be great to have someone at the helm whom we could count on to get us out of • thJs messJ The only person that I could really_ trust with any of Canada's problems ls James T. Kirk, captain of the starship, Enterprise. Whenever something happened durtngTuose Star Trek episodes, you just knew that Kirk would be able to save the day. • Now let's teleport our minds to a time and place far away ... and see how Captain Kirk deals with one of Thunder Bay's biggest problems, outshopping to Duluth. As we begin this Star Trek episode, the starship Enterprise ts hovering over the city of Thunder Bay. Kirk: "Chekov." Chekov: "Ches, Captain Kirk?" Kirk: "Where are we? What is this place?" Chekov: "Wunder Bay." Kirk: "Wunder Bay? I've never heard of it." Spock: "No, Captain. It's Thunder Bay, a city with approximately 114,691 humanoid inhabitants. It's the home town .of the F1yers, the Thunderhawks and Paul Schaeffer, David Letterman's sidekick." Kirk: "Oh yeah, I've heard of this place. But, what are we doing h ere? What ts our mission?' Spock: "It seems that the Thunder Bayttes are travelling halfway across the galaxy to do their shopping in an alien land with steep hills. 1bis land ts called Duluth, and its major shopping centre, the Miller H1ll Mall acts like a magnet, dra~g Thunder Bay shoppers." Kirk: "Big.deal Spock. I stlll don't see what the problem ls." Spock: "It is really quite logical Captain. This situation ts hurting businesses in Thunder Bay that sezve local cttlzens since the Thunder Bayttes are spending thousands of dollars tn Duluth instead of In Thunder Bay." Kirk: "All right Spock. I've heard enough. Red Alert! I repeat. Red Alert! Man the photon torpedoes. Chekov. when I give the signal. wipe the Mtller Hill Mall and the city of Duluth off the planet." Chekov: "Ches, Captain." Spock: "Captain, I feel that you are acting quite tllogtcally. You are attacking the symptoms of the problem, not the source." Kirk: "Jeez Spock. This is the first time that we've had a chance to use the photon torpedoes 1n a long time." Stay tuned untlll next week's episode to find out whether Kirk listens to Spock or annihilates Duluth and the Mtller Hill Mall. (See page 8 for the concluding episode)Todd LaHaye THE NATIONAL SAMPLE handling of Africans. •Also last year. the dean of Yale was reproached for publicly encouraging students to leaxn about the histozy of western civilization. Critics charged he was supporting the perpetuation of a society oppressive to women and people of colour. His speech. however. argued that western democracy helped foster a culturally diverse society foreign to other nations. As a result of these and sfmilar incidents on Canadian and U.S. campuses, many people no longer feel completely free to voice their academic optntons on touchy issues without the fear of being branded a misogynist. racist or homophobe. So, they've been taking precautions. Accordtngto Maclean's, some male professors at the University of Waterloo. will now only meet with female students and professors if accompanied by another person. Other professors have expressed concern that they may be condemned as racists if they were to gtve a visible minortty student a low grade. Of course, an important dlstlnctton must be made between remarks that deliberately propagate hatred and those that don't. Statements that are meant to vilify gender or cultural groups have no place 1n our classrooms. But a sexist or racist comment need not necessarily be motivated by hatred. And the anthropologist's exhibition and the Yale dean's speech were n ot. Similarly. Shakespeare's literary treatment of women increasingly under fire for being oppressive - doesn't mean he disliked women. His plays just.ceflected the social conditions of his time. CORRECTING POLITICS. The Charlatan. May 30, 1991. by Sandra L. Sperounres, Carleton University Politlcal correctness. You may not know about it, but you're exposed to it almost every time you set foot on campus. It sounds like some kind of afllictlon. and tn a way it ts. More and more people are getting caught up 1n tts web -- and it shows no sign of breaking. • What exactly is political correctness? Most of us better know it as the attempt to rid campuses of discrimination on the basis of sex. race. and sexual orientation in terms of hiring pollcies, course curriculum. It exists tn society too, but universities are where the most progressive (and militant) elements are. But for all the awareness this movement ls producing, political correctness ts also having some scary effects on the freedom of expression and the learning process. Maclean'& magazine calls tt "a wave of repression .. .sweeping through the universities." Take the following examples cited in the May 27 issue of Maclean's: *Last year, a University of Toronto anthropologist was labelled by blacks as a racist for an exhibit she curated for the Royal Ontario Museum.

Although for a long time there was no policy, Muldoon says, the Municipal Industrial Strategy for Abatement (MISA) was expected to affect the practice of pouring dangerous chemicals into university sinks: chemicals which ultimately enter the city's water supply. The city of Thunder Bay's Public Works Department says that a Sewer Use Bylaw which was updated in 1990 to control what goes into the city's sewer system. "The Sewer Use Control Program is in place to enforce this bylaw", they said, but as of yet there are no practices to monitor sewage coming from the University. The Primary Sewage Treatment Plant operates on the sedimentation of waste and removes only phosphorus and solids from the incoming material. With over 80 Million litres per day of treated waste being handled, additional chemicals are said to be "diluted". When contacted about their policy on industrial waste from Universities, the organization Greenpeace claimed to have no standing policy in this instance as there wasn't yet enough information on the quantity by FC DeGagne Flags were raised early this semester as the Argus was informed about improper chemical handling procedures on campus. Both the Chemistry and Biology departments in the Centennial Building , of Lakehead University are involved. Students concerned about negative environmental and individual health effects explained that draining acid into the university sewer system was common practice following lab classes. Lax supeIVision, student carelessness and a lack of effective laboratory procedure have all been blamed in the reported draining of acetic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and acetone cleaner down lab drains. Two students who desire anonymity tell of students who at the end of lab drain these commonly used and dangerous chemicals into sinks. Besides being used to wash hands. the sinks also drain by a roundabout route to the city's sewer system. Presently there is policy for the storage and disposal of waste chemicals, noted Mrs. Marton Muldoon of the university's Occupational Health and Safety office. Mrs. Muldoon also explained the strict Mlnistry of Environment regulations to control disposal. When informed of the lax VITAL STUDENT ISSUES By Noel W,ard As you walk into Cassandra Koenen's office you are greeted by a cheerful woman who seems eager to listen and talk to you. But when you begin to talk business, the new VP Student Issues becomes a serious professional person. "This is the type of office where you can do a lot of work or you can do a little ... I hope that I can do a good job _for everybody." In apparent contradiction, Koenen's first proposed policy during her term on the Board of Directors, which would have wrested editorial control away from the Argus staff and left a precedent for the possible inter(erence of the autonomy of all LU clubs, was defeated: What exactly does a VP Student Issues do?

The president of the campus environmental group ECHO stated that he was "appalled" when he heard the news. As to the MOE's responsibility to water quality monitoring, the Public Works Office replied that it has "yet to see anything revised by the ministry" since the incorporation of the Sewer Use Bylaw. Monitoring could harm the city 1ri some respects if the results were poor. Economically. a monitoring process in itself may discourage industrial development if the waste from such a plant would not measure up to constant scrutiny. One of the city's water filter retailers reported that Thunder Bay's water ts one of the worst for its concentrations of byproduct from the treatment of chlorine it receives to remove bacteria. Industry, along with laundromats and photo labs, also introduce chemi- cals into the sewage treatment plant which must then dilute it into the city's water. "I would not take a bath in it", indicated the concerned businessman, referring to unfiltered city water. The University's maintenance department gave details of safety measures in place to exacerbate the presence ofchemicals in the Centennial Building's plumbing. Special drain pipes which resist corrosion from acids connect all the labs. and a dilution tank containing water collects all fluid and mixes it before it is released to the city sewer system. "I believe that th!s tank promotes the abuse ofproper disposal policy". commented one of the concerned students when informed of its presence, "and besides, whether it gets diluted or not, chemicals still get into the water." The Ministry of the Environment could not be reached for details. PRESIDENT MIDDLETON SOUNDS OFF By Noel Ward For his second'and last time, Ian Middleton is the President of LUSU. And for his second and last time, he is looking forward to battles with both the Provincial governments and University administration. This time last year, LUSU was in conflict }Vith the Canadian Federation of Student-Services, or CFSS, as well as most of the other universities in Canada over two proposed policies that left the students of Canada without a voice in its operattons. This year, these problems are solved, yet Middleton can still foresee problems. "There's always problems... there's always structural things," he said, yet there are attempted improvements in the system that are beginning this year which have yet to pass or fail a practical test. Being in his second term, Middleton has the benefit of being able to look back into the past and see what mistakes were made and hopefully avoid or correct those mistakes. Middleton was not pleased with the way Orientatton or the Spring Break ran last year, and there was a crisis with the impeachment of Dwayne Hunking. Yet these events lie in the past and Middleton can now move on. Both this year and last year there was an anomaly in the administration of the Student Union becauseofalltheworkgoingintotheStudentCentre. This year, the opening of the Student Centre and the new Radio Station are taking up time. Yet lookingbacktherew~_reafewthingsthatMiddleton would like to change with the timing and the operation of the Student Centre. Part of the problem lies in the University however.

Well, sort of. ThroughoutthehallsofL.U. and some streets in The Giant Heart, the words "blue bag" have been uttered excitedly from the mouths of the envtronmentally friendly. However, many recent arrivals to Thunder Bay have no idea what exactly a "blue bag" was, and in probably have yet to see one. That ts until an interview was conducted with DougMuncaster, theSupervtsor for Waste Management for Thunder Bay. The blue bag program works thusly: For homes with up to four separate untts, kits have been (or should have been) deltvered to doorsteps by a private distributor hired by the city contatntngtwocomplimentaxy blue bags, a schedule for both garbage and blue bag collection days, and a coupon for $0.35 off your next purchase of Glad blue bags. Curbside pick-up for blue bag.s should operate evecy second,,week, and those that blue bag should consult their schedules to ensure that they have the bags out by 7:00am the morning of pick-up. Also, it ts important to remember to put only newspapers, magazines and flyers in their bag, as other materials will contaminate any the recycled product. Unfortunately, blue bag recycling ts not yet available to apartments with more than four separate units, although Mr. Muncaster is hoping to service apartments within the next month. This program, however, ts at the discretion of the superintendents of each individual building. The federal government has enforced a law that demands all towns of over 5,000 people to have a recycling program in effect by June of 1992. The frustrating dilemma at hand ts that the federal government gives only ltm1ted funding to support its demands. With the blue bag program now partially in effect, Thunder Bay has begun to take the first step towards total recycling. Muncaster stated that once an economical and efficient system can be found, it will be implemented as soon as possible. Factors to consider are the price ofvehicles, a storage site, buildings and where the funding will come from. Because companies are now required by law to use a mtntmum percentage of recycled goods in approprtateproducts, theposstble sale of recyclable material may generate funding for programs.

We plan to lose money on the grand opening because we figure this building to last." There are various reasons for the delay in the opening of the Student Centre. First, the kitchen wanted more time to train their staff. Sound problems also contributed to the opening. "It would have been redundant to open a large bar like that without sound," said LeBlanc. Yet this delay has given the staffmore time so that now, things should run quite smoothly. "Reguardless of sound though, we are opening Wedensday... at least during the day," said LeBlanc. He continued saying that even ifthere are sound problems, the bar will be open and food will be seived. If the sound is not working by night, then there will be no amplified music.

Editorial Continued from Page 3 As such, we shouldn't discredit or persecute authors, philosophers, historians who are long dead. We can't change their views - but we can change our own. The only way we can do this is through rational and open discussion of AIL ideas. That means sitting down and debating questions of race, sexism and homophobia in an intelligent manner- not through intimidation or insults. Universities are supposed to be institutions where ideas are fostered - no matter how popular or unpopular they may be. While it's wonderful we're flnally beginning to recognize the importance of women's and racial studies, we can't start ignoring traditional thought Just because it no longer meshes with our mind frames. No matter how disagreeable it may be, it is a fundamental part of our history. And what happened in the past can't be rewritten. We can count ourselves lucky at Carleton - we may have felt the vibrations of political correctness, but we have yet to feel truly restricted.

Street Dance A Tarnished Success by Sharon Docherty This years Street Dance with headliners Aldo Nova and Jeff Healey was for the most part a success. The three thousand plus crowd was surprised and pleased at the two headliners. Both bands reacted positively to the crowd giving good performances. Aldo Nova (though I am not personally a fan) gave the impression they were happy to be here, performtng a wide selection of songs which span the bands long career. See Brian B. for interview. The Jeff Healey Band, coming on a half hour later than scheduled did give a good quality performance. Healey seemed pleased with the turnout, speaking directly to the audience throughout the show. The band performed a wide selection of their music from the past couple ofyears, coming back out for a two song encore. However, the event was not without its share of problems. There were promotional problems, a lack of advance ticket sales and some security problems at the actual event. Despite an excellent fan response at the actual event. The Street Dance had been plagued with promotional problems right from the get go. Usually when a band goes on tour, they will promote their own show in conjunction with the promoter. In this case, the Jeff Healey Band, there was very little communication or cooperation with the promoter (LUSU Events Programmer Jeff Dockery). Apparently the band had refused press to the Cronicle Journal and several other papers during the last few weeks. Dockery, in his position photo by; Mark Achtenberg as promoter, pulled some strings in order to get a promise of a telephone interview with Healey for the Cronicle Journal. The interview never took place. In addition the Argus was not granted and interview and a scheduled meet and greet session between the band and the radio station was scrapped. The band left LU ten minutes after leaving the stage. Dockery expressed his frustraion at the whole incident stating that "it presents for a very difficult circumstance for me because I'm trying to promote the show as best I can and if I don't have support well ... that sucks." Dockery cited lack of communication between the band and its management as an explanation. All these problems may lead one to wonder why get the Jeff Healey band in the first place. Well the organizers of the Street Dance were stuck for a good headliner. The Jeff Healey Band hadn't been here for a year and a half: in addition Dockery had had no previous problems in dealing with Jeff Healey and the Band. This time, though the problems were not all directly experienced by Dockery, but by the people he worked with. Dockery's feelings on this issue are "when you create problems for my people the you create problems for me." B's HOUSE byBrfanB. Can you believe it! I mean, can you really believe it? I got an interview with Aldo Nova! By now you are probably wondering why the hell some shmuck who's totally into dance and house would bother asking a rock n' roll star anything. Well, Aldo had some pretty interesting things to say: B: How are you feeling about the demise of vinyl? AN: Well, I think it's a shame. Vinyl's a great medium ... B: Do you think that by not using vinyl that your sales were diminished? AN: No, because CD and tapes are popular formats, and just about everyone has a CD or a cassette deck. It's too bad, though, because vinyl is great for cover art. B: Did you use digital technology while recording, as in DAT or MIDI? (Digital Audio Tape: Musical Instrument Digital Interface) AN: Yes, we mastered to DAT, but everything we recorded I played myself. (In other words, they put the master recording on Digital Audio Tape, but none of the music was digital in origin.) B:Howdoyoufeelaboutsamplinginrap and other music? AN: Sampling's great. Ithinkit'sa unique way of expression. To a certain extent, though. It gets to be a problem when a sampler doesn't get permission to do what he does. B: Okay. One far-out, off-track question. Would you ever consider, or have you thought about, some sort of collaboration with a rap artist like Anthrax and Public Enemy did? AN: Yeah, I'd love to do something with Ice-Tor LL Cool J. That's basically what Blood on The Bricks is about: drugs, gangs, street violence. It's the same message, just put to rock music. It's all the same stuff, whether rap or rock or something else. Music is music, no matter what it sounds like. And that's B's throwdown for this week. Stay tuned in for more hype news about the Student Centre and some neat info about your favourite dance artists. Till thenPeace Out! PS: Vinyl's not dead! photo by; Mark Achtenberg According to Dockery what all these problems display is that the "record company obviously does not give two shits" and he concluded by stating "I refuse to do business that band again." Another problem with the Street Dance this year was the student apathy regarding advance ticket sales. To be blunt they were not great. The maj ortty of the three thousand plus tickets were sold in the last twenty four hours: after the weather report for Friday night was released. Dockery expressed his displeasure at this by stating that the increase in doorprtce($5. 50) is put there to encourage advance ticket purchases. The Street Dance is an expensive event to put on with performer. groundskeeping and security costs to con- sider. The students of LU are going to have to make a definate commitment to this event in order to have it continue. Finally there were some fights both in the Cafe, where the Beer Garden was, and outside. And there were some minor incidents when it was decided to close down the pub two hours early. The decision to close the pub was made by the Pub Management after consulting the Thunder Bay Police. JeffDockerv stated that "we felt it would be better if we lost the last two hours of operation, which is no big deal." Dockery further commented that "alcohol really does not belong at a show like this, simply because the masses create too many problems." �The Argus Page 8 September 19. 1991 ENTERTAINMENT LAXDAL AT THE MOVIES by Brian ~dal This summer Hollywood released few memorable pictures.

The agreement was finalized on Monday, September 16. 1991 between Morrow and Michael A Smith. Vice President and General Manager of.the Jets. Details of the agreement include Winnipeg sending future pro prospects from their system to playtn Thunder Bay which would enable them to gain experience at the minor-pro level. "After several meetings in Winnipeg, we are extremely pleased to have the agreement with a class organiza- tion lik,e the Jets. The relationship will benefit both organizations", said President Morrow Monday. Thunder Bay•s 60 game schedule begins here on October 15whentheTounder Hawks host the Brantford Smoke at the Gardens. Other teams include one from St. Thomas as well as Flint and Fraser Michi.. gan. Season tickets are now on sale at the Gardens. • • • . N.H.L. 1991: The Smythe Division by John Aegard CALGARY FLAMES: Strengths... The Flames are loaded with talent. Snipers such as Joe Niewendyk. Doug Gilmour. and Theron Flemy complement tough guys Ron Stern, Tim Hunter, and checking ace Joel Otto. Better yet, there is a wealth of y.oung talent with immense potential just begtnnning to mature in Robert Reichel, Paul Ranheim, and Stephane Matteau. Toe offensive thrust from the point is unmatched in the NHL, with Al Macinnis and Gary Suter giver opposition goaltenders fits. Weaknesses .... There has been an intangible lack ofcharacter on th1s club sinceJimPeplinski and Lanny Macdonald retired, making for fine regular seasons and disappointing playoffs. Aside from ~ and a need for a little more toughness on the blueline. Players to Watch.... Theo Flemy and Paul Ranheim. Flemy will most likely slip from his stellar 51-goal campaign. Ranheim is an exciting player whose due for a breakthrough year. The Flames are cooked if.... Mike Vernon lets the crowd get under his skin. Projection.... The Flames are deeper in all areas than the Kings, except for possibly goaltending. That should cany them to a Smythe Division title. The L.A. KINGS: Strengths.... . L.A will have the most feared line in the league with the reunited duo of Wayne Gretzky and Jart Kurrt. Swede Tomas Sandstrom will move to the left side to accomodate Kurrt. In addition tyo that fearsome threesome, the Kings have top-scoring LW Luc Robitaille to anchor the second line. In goal, Kelly Hrudey is a proven talent and Daniel Berthiaume is a solid counterpart. Weaknesses.... The Kings don't have much scoring depth beyond the abovementioned players. They expect Bob Kudelski, a converted LW with 23 goals last year, to centre Robitaille. Unless Rob Blake regains last season's early form, the Kings will be without a power-play quarterback. Players to Watch.... Berthiaume and Sandstrom. Will the reappearance of Kurrt cost Sandstrom? And will Berthiaume continue his strong perlotmance or was his late-season slump the sign of things to come? The Kings are cooked if.... Gretzky gets hurt. Unlike the Penguins, the Kings aren't deep enough to weather a loss of this magnitude. Projection.... That Kurrt and Gretzky will be overwhelming is a certainty. If coach Tom Webster can co~tinue to keep the Kings playing top-notch defensively, they will challenge for top spot in the Smythe. 0 GROUP OF SEVEN TO VISIT L. U. by W Campus Rec. rate and masters.

Troy Gamble and Kirk McLean bring immense potential between the Canucks' pipes. Trevor Linden has overcome his sophomore woes to become a dominant player at light wing. Geoff Courtnall and Greg Adams bring good scoring talents to a loaded left wing that also includes hot and cold Sergio Momesso. Continued on Page 12. See "NHL" .. .. Miles Holden Lakehead University Rugby Football Club has appointed Miles Holden their· coach for the 91/92 season. Miles, who comes from England, has played Representative Rugby for his County Chesire, and the North of England . . Since coming to Canada Miles has played representative for Saskatchewan, and was a Canadian International player with the under 21 ~~ad .. �Th.eArgus Page 12 September 19, 1991 1 SPORTS \ ·NHL , THE EDMONTON ·ceont:JnuedFromPage 11) Weaknesses .... The defense has a decent mtx of skill and toughness, but ts unproven as a unit. There ts a sorry lack of talent on right wing after Linden. Igor Lartonov 1S at the end of the llne, leaving no decent second-line centre to take the pressure off ClifI Ronning. Players to watch.... Ronning showed considerable offensive ability after last year's trade brought hJm out ofAdam Oates' shadow. However, tt will be interesting to see if he can stand up to a full 80 games as a number one centre. The Canucks are cooked :If.... The goaltending doesn't hold up to its promise. Projection.... This, like many others -before. ts a promising season for the Canucks. They could impress this year, led by Linden, but will not challenge Calgaiy or L.A. Third place. THE WINNIPEG JETS: Strengths .. .. The Jets are strong between the pipes with thirdyear man Bob Essensa. Essensa had good numbers (3. 15 GM) for one of the worst clubs in the league last year. The defense has an offensive gem in Phil Housley, and leadership from RandyCarlyle. Number one centre Thomas Steen ts a fine two-way talentand.he and Pat Elynuik form a decent top line. Weaknesses .... Both wings are notoriously weak. Only RW Pat Elynuik with 31 goals surpassed the 20-goal mark from the flank. Pre-season plans call for -Ed Olczyk to be shifted to the left with newcomer and former Chicago teammate Troy Murray centring, in order to balance the scoring somewhat. The Jets desperately hope that rookies Russ Romaniuk,Stu Barnes and second-year RW Danton Cole are ready to supply some offense. Players to Watch. ... Essensa should continue to shine in goal. Finish rookie Selanne has been compared to Jart Kurrt and could go a long way to solving the Jets' scoring woes if he arrives in time. The Jets are cooked if.... Any one of thetrfew scoring threats ts injured for awhile. Pro_1ectlon.... The Jets' pattern is to impress for their first year coach and get him fired in his second. This 1s supposed to be an "on" year if that holds true. NewcomerJohn Paddock could inspire the Jets past Vancouver into third but th1s seems unlikely. Fourth place. C~F . THUNDER pn, ERS: \ Strengths.... The Oilers have the best pair of goaltenders 1n the NHL. Grant Fuhr and Bill Ranford are tremendous. There ts some skill up front with agitatlngEsa Tikkanen and streaky Petr Klima. The defense is dependable and unspectacular though. Weaknesses.... Neithei:FubrnorRanford will settle for splitting the workload evenly. Mark Messier ts clearly unhappy and wants out. It was even rumoured thatMessterwent ' into the tank during the playoffs after a heated contract dJspute with GM Glen Sather. Without Messier at his best to set him up, Craig Simpson will flounder. Players to Watch.... Petr Klima had a career 40-goal season last year and will be under the gun all year to repeat on an offensestarved club. The Oilers are cooked if.... They fail to resolve their contract differences wtll Tikkanen. The wily Finn ts the closest thing to a franchaise player the Oilers have left. Projection.... Only a stellar deal can save the Oilers now. Messier anEl most likely Fuhr are trade bait. Even so, the Edmonton club is in a state of disarray that will lead to a Continued on Page 13.

Checking for Calories U.S. government regulations require that all enriched or fortified foods or foods that make a nutnaonal claim, include nutrition information on the back of the product. Generally, these are divided into two catgeories: "Nutritional Information per Serving'' and "Percentage of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances". If nutrition information is given, the amounts of seven vitamins and minerals must be included, as well as the percentage of protein of the U.S. RDA, and the weight in grams. As many as twelve additional vitamins and minerals may be listed if the manufacturer chooses to. The U.S. RDA are the amounts of protein, vitamins and -minerals used as standards in nutrition (food) labeling. Special U.S. RDP:s for infants and young children are used for babv food and junior-type foods. Calories per serving must be listed on food labels. These depend on the amount of fat, protein and carbohydrates in the food. Fat, which has the most calories, supplies nine ' Keep an-Eye on Cholesterol Different Kinds of Fat If you're on a fat-controlled diet, the amount of cholesterol per food serving can be an important factor in food choices. While it is not mandatory for cholesterol to be listed, manufacturers may chose to do so. It is customarily shown as "milligrams (mg.) of cholesterol per serving" and as "milligrams per 100 grams of food". Only two kinds of fat, polyw1saturated and saturated fats, are required in nutritional labeling. Look at the total fat content on a food label. Remembering that all kinds of fats have nine calories per gram, a food product that has 10 grams of fat per serving offers 90 calories in that serving.

W.A. Williams fn his essay "American IntetvenUon in Russia" writes that when a communist government was first established fn Soviet Russia in 1917 the wealthy of the world were alarmed because the idea of a society where the .resources and labour nught be used for the benefit of all was repugnant to them. Fourteen capitalist nations, including Canada, sent their armies into Russia to crush the government. When this failed the U.S.S.R. was surrounded by military might aimed at it and a trade embargo was imposed by the LETfERS ✓ DEFENCE OF West. Melvin Leffler states fn the February 1985 issue of American Historical Review that documents dating back to 1945 show that W:esterngovemments lmew that the Soviet Union had no intention ofattacking the West arid' that NATO was formed to deceive the public into thinktng that the Soviets were bent on world conquest. The intent was to discredit any form of soctaltsm and to enrich the arms manufacturers.

For Sean Caljouw, however, getting around LU seated in an electrtc wheelchair is more difficult than one might expect. "The University ts fairly accessible.and has become better gradually. but is still not up there", he said as we talked in the hallway by the Agora. I had suggested meeting in the cafeteria where we could .. do lunch", but Caljouw explained it wasn't such a great idea. "It's degrading, havingto be waited on to use the elevators, then travel through the kitchen to get to the caf." He stressed that he didn't want sympathy for hJmself. but accessibility for the Disabled Student's Action Committee (DSAC) as a whole throughout the University. DSAC is meant to serve all disabilities on campus. including the visually and hear.Ing Impaired..Sean cites a sense of helplessness as the reason why disabled students are reluctant to attend meetings. "We need a voice and some power to get our point across," Caljouw expressed. concerned for the lack of interest presently among the student body. Caljouw pointed to the excellent transit semce for the disabled as a draw for disabled students at LU. He also joked about previous committees at LU which were almost fervently activistin their demands. "Yeah. alot of people stopped coming to meetings when they thought speaking out would get them in ·trouble." Caljouw explained that a cMl relationship with LUSU is the key to gettmg anything done With respect to student semces. Accessibility is also important in the event of fire. Caljouw suggests some kind of contingency plan for the safety of disabled persons, especially on the second floor of the University.

''GIMME SHELTER'' (AND A FLEA BATH) by Susan E. Kemp AtouroftheThunderBay Animal Shelter can be both a heartwarming and depressing experience. The cages are filled to capacity with pets in need of homes. The Shelter's manager. Bob Katajamaki. says it ts often hard for his staff not to get attached to the animals, but they have to keep a perspective on thing$ and realize they are doing a job. AcommonmiSconceptlon about the Animal Shelter is that it is just a place where stray animals are taken to be put down. However, it offers many valuable services, both for the animals and pet owners. The staff attempts to find the owners of the stray animals that are brought in, but if they are not successful the animals are either put up for adoption or put down. The Shelter also nms a pet visitation program in which some animals are taken out to visit places in the community such as homes for the elderly and the L.P.H .. where pets are generally not permitted. If the staff are not initially successful i_n finding the owners ofthe stray, the Shelter is required to keep the animals for "3 working days, less Sundays and holidays." At this time the animal 1s put up for adoption or euthanized. There is a screening process for people who want to adopt a pet so that the staff can ensure the animal will go to a good home. A cat can be adopted for $32.00 and will be given its first set of shots and deworming by the Shelter. A dog costs $46.00, with the same services included. Katajamaki said the Shelter gets approxtmately 1500 cats and 1500 dogs each year. as well as rabbits and other small animals. Out oft he cats that are brought in, two-thirds are put down and one-third find homes. The opposite iS true for dogs. One-third are put to sleep and two-thirds are adopted out. In addition, The Animal Shelter is a wealth of information on anything from house-training rabbits lo dog grooming and nutrition. This information is free and can be very valuable to pet owners as well as those interested in adopting a pet. Each year Canadians trash one old tire for eveiyman, woman and child. That's 26 million doughnutshaped lumps of rubber. North Americans tossed away 60 billton pounds of scrap plasttc last year. Stockpiling ofold tires has led to such disasters as the fire in February 1990 at a Hagersv1lle. Ontarto, dump in which an estlmated 14 million used tires burned for 17 days. ! C.V.L. Products, located about 30 miles from Hagersville, spent almost $1 million researching its recycling process. Photo by C.P, Walsh: disabled students' needs. but it can't lobby Campus Development or LUSU to make the fire doors easter to open. Caljouw suggests one door at the main entrance be specially equipped to open automatically. This . would be especially helpful in the winter. He pointed out that Confederation College and some government buildings in town have as- ststed openers. With the increase of student population, Caljouw feels that now is the time for corrections to the accessibility here at Lakehead. Not only will it serve the students as well as any disabled faculty or visitors, but will more than likely attract favourable attention for prospective students who are also in need of the service. @ 14 PRESERVED ANATOMICAL PARTS~ · .

Feminism is a very touchy subject mainly because it is so difficult for 'femtntsts· to agree on one definition. This editortal ts not meantto be preachy or even to sway anyone on what they should or should not agree with. It ts simply an explanation of why I am among a growing number of women who refuse to call themselves a feminist. TheLtberalFem.1nistsplacetheemphas1softheirmovement on the premise that "women's oppression results from women's lack of equal civil rights and equal educational opportunities" (Feminist Frameworks, 1984}. Therefore the liberal's main focus is on the changing of current laws and-practices in our society, so as fo gtve women the same opportunities that have for centuries been freely given to men. Tilis does not mean that the llberal feminist is intent on destroying our current social structure and political hierarchy system. In addition, this viewpoint leaves little room (though more than the radical one) for religious, and cultural beliefs. The Radical (and unfortunately the most vocal) Femln1sts believe that women have been suppressed and subordinated because of their biological differences and that In order to be rid of this suppression a biological revolution must take place. This biological revolution would not only encourage and propagatetheideaofbottlefeedingbabies(asopposedtobreastfeeding) but also lead to extrauterine reproduction (the gestation < babies 1n an incubator rather that the womb). The end resu wanted by radicals is the total desexing of women an men.(Feminist Frameworks, 1984) It is the radical viewpoint that is the major reason that man women (including mysel0 refuse to be associated with fem nism. We see nothing wrong with having bables the ol fashioned way. True, in the past many men in many cultures have use childbirth and childrearing as an excuse to 'keep women t their place,· but there is a growing (admittedly at a slow pact number of men in our society who no longer subscribe to thl View. In addi Uon the radical feminists are .taking away th freedom to choose between family and a career by making clear that any woman who chooses to raise her children ins tea of taking employment outside the home is somehow less of human bein~ than them. . True. it is these radicals who are the driving force beh1n many anti-Violence and anti-porn campaigns.

And rollicking it certainly wast This two-and-a-half hour playbyOliverGoldsmithkept the audience laughing with its witty dialogue and mtricate plot. I thoroughly eqjoyed it, and try as I might. I can't really find anything to criticize about the production. Although Goldsmith wrote .. She Stoops to Conquer" back In 1733, the play's appeal seems to be timeless. The plot reminded me a great deal of that of a Shakespeare comedy in which there are disguises. and innocent nusconceptions. The plot was mtricate and is ratherdifflcult to explain. but you will understand what I mean if you go to see it. Basically, it centres around Marlow, a young man too shy to speak to Miss Kate Hardcastle, the girl he has come to court. The confusion begins when Marlow is deceived by Kate's roguish brother into believing the house he fs vtslting fs really and inn. and Kate and her father a barmaid and an innkeeper. There is also a subplot interwoven with the main one, in which Kate's mother attempts to stop another pair of lovers from eloping. The result is a hilarious farce built on mistaken identities and outright confusion. Toe cast was made up of 12 people, probably the biggest production I have seen done at Magnus. One would think with such a large cast there would be some weaker actors. but I felt they were all equally strong in their respective roles. Particularlystrong were Vickie Papavs as the hJgh-spirited Kate. and David Marr as the awkward but loveable Marlow. Heather Edson was also hilarious as the vain and over-dramatic Mrs Hardcastle. Toe set was simple yet effective. consisting of a simple backdrop and several props which were changed to. suit each scene. The costumes were beautiful and added greatly In creating the eighteenth century atmosphere. All in all. it was a thoroughly entertaining evening, and I would recommend "She Stoops to Conquer.. to everyone. One might think that a period piece such as thfswouldhave lost its appeal in our day and age, but I think eve:ryone can enjoy a comedy about love and deception. Toe themes of Goldsmith's play are timeless, so make sure you get out and see it! "She Stoops to Conquer.. runs until October 19th at Magnus Theatre. Toe Box Office can be reached at 6231321.

One of them is Cuir Plus, a shop in Montreal. Bob, a Cuir Plus worker says he pierces the "whole spectrum" on males: nipples, foreskin, testicles-you name it. Some places won't do piercing on female nipples because of the .. risk of cancer." but health professionals say it's impoSSible to get cancer from piercing--an infection iS the worst thing that can happen. There ar:e- other myths - ab out body piercing-piercing your nose in the wrong spot, for instance. doesn't cause blindness. But most pierctnµ, in North America is not inspired b culture or religion. Bob at Cuir Plus th inks its largely a cosmetic choice. ..A chest with a good tan looks nice with something sparkling. It's as simple as that." Or maybe not. Breakfast is the legal name of a 21year old Torontonian who wears a small ring through his peniS. For him, it ·was a sado-masochistic experience. "I did it for discipline. It's the idea of cancelling out pain." Breakfast froze the inside of his pents by inserting a Q-tip dipped in novocaine, a chemical dentists use when they pluck teeth. "The piercing itselfdid not hurt." he says." But for a few months afterward, urinating was immensely painful. There was defulitely blood miX.ed in with the urine." Breakfast never removes the small ring because 1t hurts too much to take out. Men can choose from more vaneties of genital piercin~ than women. Breakfast .knows at least nine ways for men to do it, but understandably-only J:wo or ~omen. Male options range from foreskin piercing using a ring or hoop, to ampallang (bars that go horizontally through the head of the penis). to dydoe piercing, studs that sit on the r:iIIl of the head of the penis. Women can choose between piercin,g the labia. or piercing the clitoris. Marc, a 26 year old student at the University of Quebec finds body-piercing appealing. He had his left nipple pierced this spring. A friend used a knitting needle to slowly poke a hole through the ntpple. • "It was really fleshy," he says, "So it took about half an hour to push the needle through." Unlike earlobes and nostrils. which_aremade of cartilage, nipples are made of pigmented skin tissue. Marc says he didn't bleed much. "But for a few days, it felt Uke someone had punched me in the chest. " Why the knitting needle? "Twanted to see how much pain I could endure. ~ Bob marks the area with a pencil so the hole will be straight. Then he a pplies ice t o desensitize the nipple. and uses a clamp to hold it in place. The rest is easy. He matches up the marks With a needle, and puts the ring through. Breakfast. believes that body-piercing will only get really popular if S and M ever does. �I 'lbeArgus Page 9 October 10. 1991 SPORTS l Women's Rugby Team Captures First Ever ':"7in byK.

Loney was here speaking in preparation for yesterday's CUS referendum. Loney outlined several benefits of CUS - life insur- ance, travel and the lobby in Ottawa which has helped bring about student loans, tax deductable tuition fees, and is currently working on housing and the employment situation. Loney discussed course unions, one of the means for educational reform which gives students some control over their environment. The ·most extreme Canadian example is one department at Simon Fraser where the students and faculty meet separately to discuss issues and each has a veto over the other's decisions. Loney also dealt with the recent situation at Sir George Williams in Montreal. He pointed out that the destruction of the computer centre must be looked at as a part of the whole situation - the unanswered racial charge, the failure of a committee, the administration backing down from an agreement reached between their lawyers and the students. During the question period Loney handled all comers with ease. He described how decisions on CUS policy are made by member universities at the annual Congress. He pointed out that no CUS policy is binding on a campus unless that campus chooses to adopt it. Of course some came to heckle. An administrative employee (herself an immigrant) challenged Loney•s right to his position because he is English. Loney replied, "Some of us are Canadian by choice, others by accident. I chose to move to this country. Do we get points for the length of time we've been here?" Another question concerned compulsory payment of student union fees by students who disagree with CUS policies. Loney pointed out thatjust because some people disagree with government policies does not mean they can stop paying income tax. The CUS fee is only .$1 per student per year. Chief Justice not forced to resign I Martin Loney, CUS President-Elect -s,hoto by Acri Diefenbaker speaks at L.U. • Former Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker spoke to an overflow crowd in the University Centre Theatre Monday. He began with an appeal to the youth of today to contribute to the building of Canada. He said, "It is everyone's right to disagree, to dissent and to argue, but not to resort to civil disobedience. If violence becomes the order of the day, then we as citizens of Canada will have participated in destroying the right of everyone else to be wrong." He added that the recent events at Sir George Williams University were against the law, and said, "92% of the students in Canada have nQ support for these lawbreakers. They have given University students across Canada a reputation that they don't deserve." On legalizing marijuana, Diefenbaker said, "I see no reason to legalize marijuana because of its attractiveness to certain people. This is a drug which can lead to the use of other narcotics." As to Canada as a bilingual nation all Diefenbaker said was "We in Canada must accept and maintain the constitutional right of each and every individual and see that no one is given a second-class citizenship." He ended by praising the present government for allowing Czechoslovakian refugees into Canada. He said, "There must always be an open door for those who stand against Communism and seek Freedom.'' Diefenbaker spent most of his time recounting anecdotes from his pastpolitical life and left many questions unanswered. Some unanswered questions were: "Do you think the U.S. should get out of Vietnam?" and "another form of civil disobedience is non-violent, passive resistance. How do you feel about this form of protest?" With these and other questions remaining, Diefenbaker left the stage amid great applause. Mike Barkwell is still Chief Justice. A. special Judicial Committee Tuesday 13 February ruled that Barkwell should remain Chief Justfre despite an AMS court sentence recommending his resignation and an AMS council motion pushing for his dismissal. Barkwell has been at the centre of a storm of controversy ever since he was convicted last month by the AMS Judicial Committee of lxeaking down a door and stealing six bottles ofliquor belonging _to the faculty. Barkwell pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a fine of $100, the cost of damages, and the court recommended that he resign his position as Chief Justice. He didn't. The AMS then passed a motion setting up a Special Judicial Committee to consider Barkwell's fitness for office then illegally ttconsidered it a few minutes later, and decided not to do it after all. Next week, after the illegality was pointed out, council voted again to set up the committee as originally decided. The motion began "'Whereas the Chief Justice has not performed his duties to the satisfaction of the AMS council. . . " and ended "'Failure to attend the meeting will be considered your concurrance with the motion". Barkwell did not turn up at the hearing at I :00 Tuesday. At 1:35 a . bench warrant was issued for him, and the commlltee decided to meet at 7:00 p.m. At 7:05, with Barkwell in attendance, the hearing resumed. After lengthy discussion and cross-examination the decision was reached not not to remove Barkwell from office. His term expires m April.

Kolasky, previously associated with the Canadian Communist Party for thirty years, spent two years studying in the USSR. His recent book documents the oppressive treatment of the various national cultures in the USSR and has been hailed as an invaluable tool to current understanding of the Soviet Union. Kolasky says "the aim of Russian Policy is to main· tain a tight control over edu• cation in Ukraine and other national republics, to restrict Ukrainians and other nation• als from progressing beyond the elementary and general secmdary level, to denation• alize them ... to increase the ... the continuous influx of Russians to occupy posts in government, education science and other fields." During his two years in Kie", Koslasky found that "everywhere there was evi• dence of pressure to impose the Russian language." In preparation for Kolasky's visit the Ukrainian Club, which is sponsoring the lecture, held a seminar to discuss three of the more recent books available Qn the 1..urrent intellectual disi,,ent within the Soviet Union. The three books, available in the university .!ih(ary,, are I. Dzyuba's Internationalism or Russification, The Chorno• vil Papers, and Kolasky's own book "Education in the Sovi.et Ukr,~ ne". - �argus, february 20, 1969, page 3 Howard Adams looks at Indians, students can no longer be a forerunner to new ideas in the areas of the social sciences." Adams said that there are a lot of faculty members who do not concern themselves with students' problems or current social issues. "The main reason for this," he said, "is that if a faculty member sees his success in the :present establishment social structure, he will harmonize as much as possible with the administration in order to achieve success within the academic society." However, he added, "there are a number of professors who are concerned and active and do feel that there are things that must be done to make the university truly a university and not just a place for grinding out cogs to fill the required slots in industry and business!' Adams then talked about the cuniculum at universities and explained how he was trying to change the curriculum at the University of Saskatchewan. He tried to discuss the course of study with his students and found it very difficult, as most students merely wanted to be told what to do and when to have term papers canpleted. He attributed this to their earlier training in the highschools which are framed around rigidity and authority. "I've done this with my classes who decide their own courses of study and are not required to _do any term papers unless they wish to do so. They decide what questions will be on the ex.am and even turned in a mark for first term that they felt was fair." He added, "we are prepared to face the administration and only decided to have exams at all so as not to jeopardize the students' academic positions." "Universities are rather dehumanizing experiences,' Dr. Adams said. "They stress rational thinking and students cannot relate to one another as human beings. People who go through our schools are living a dull life which leaves them spiritually bankrupt." He added, "I feel that in our educational system, academic work has become sterile and there is no room for the real essence of a human being." by Keith Clarke The similarity of the plight of University Students and that of the Indians and Metis in Canada was the topic of a speech last Thursday by Dr. Howard Adams, assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Adams, the son of Metis parents who grew up on a Metis Colony said "The Metis and the students are both fighting the same power structure: namely, the corporate elite, and the government." He began his speech by saying that one of the reasons for the current crisis in Canadian universities is the social structure in Canada. He used as an example John Mitchell, a Canadian Mercenary. "Mi tche 11 would not kill white people, but he had no qualms about killing people of other races, particularly the blacks. And it is his kind of personality that will allow people to kill my brothers and my sisters." He added,. "Canada is a violent society, as violent as that of the United States, and at the universities there are more sophisticated people· concerned about the direction of our Canadian Society." "The Western World is in a decadent Imperialistic stage, with institutions that belong to an earlier age which will just not work, and students have the greatest sensitivity to this." The university Adams described one of these institutions -the university. "The university", he said, "is an institution that belongs to the corporate elite. They are training schools for the power structures, namely, big business." He added that unjversities are controlled by these same people. "At the University of Saskatchewan," he added, "the Board of · Governors consitst of one half business men, and one half men appointed by the Provincial Government. These men control the University. They have the final decisions in 'all areas." He said that they tend to become oppressive and don't allow eXP!!!Ssion and expansion in the manner desired by the students and faculty. He said that universities are mainly concerned with their public images and that he had been faced with being fired by the administration because he was "too controversial." He pointed out that the Carillon (student newspaper at Regina) is presently out of existence for the same reason. They were not pleasing the established government and were attacking certain areas of politics or injustices. "For these reasons," he said, "the university The Indian and Metis Situation Dr. Adams said that Canada is a nation of white supremacy and that the Indians and Metis are treated as a colonial people. He said "if the Indians had not been useful to the white man in the fur trade they might have been wiped out, but later when they were no longer needed they were herded onto reservations and Me tis Colonies." He said that the Indians cannot integrate into such a society which is obviously racist. The Metis has olenty of ri2:hts in theory, but almost none when he tries to exercise them. As an example he sighted the reserve at Green Lake, Saskatchewan. "We had our own elected council", he said, "and we wanted to administer our own community, but were not allowed to do so by both the local and the Provincial governments." The Metis were told they would be allowed to administrate to their own community only when they b~came responsible. "But," said Dr. Adams, "who decides when we become responsible? Some government official. What criteria does he use? His own judgement. With laws like these our people are powerless." "Many of us," he said, "more actively involved in the Native movement, are seperatists and do not suscribe to the White Ideal. However, we have to relate ourselves to the technological world, perhaps in the form of some light industries, as we don;t want to be , kept on welfare as this keeps us under the control of the government. He added, "Practically all teachers and school administrators are white and the urban middle class value system is alien to our people." He suggested that the government supply more money for restoring native life and culture. He said that $200,000 was spent last year on the Department of Indian Affairs, most of which was paid out in salaries to white men. He also said that large enterprises that exploit the Metis, and Churches which split them, must be removed from the reservations. Answering questions, Adams said that he felt that the reserve system should be eliminated, but slowly, over time, as the older Indians are worried of losing what security they have. However, the young people will move off them and the reservations will slowly disappear. He added that the government would like to see a quick end to the reservations, as this would mean splitting up the Indians, thus weakening their power. "Elaborating on his idea for a Metis School System, Adams said that up to grade three Metis children should be taught on the reservation in their own language, _stressing th~ir own history and culture. From grade 4 to 8 they would be taught in English and would go to an ordinary highschool when they were ready. Dr. Adams stated that there are only 500,000 Indians in Canada and this in not enough to win the Indians' freedom. Therefore they .•are going to need the help of the white man. He things this help might come from the university students whose situation closely parallels that of the Indians in Canada. CUS co-op fieldvvorker visits A CUS Co-op fieldworker visited Lakehead along with other CUS personnellast week. Ron Davis, who left Simon Fraser University to take up the newly created position last November 1st, travels across Canada giving assistance to students interested in co-operative housing. Davis sees co-operative housing as cheaper living for students who cannot afford the high cost of residences, and an experience in self-government. Co-op housing also gives students a chance to get away from home. Davis describes his job as "speaking to people about co-ops and the idea of co-operative living; givmg technical assistance to groups which are trying to form co-ops; also helping with research into housing problems." The kinds of co-ops vary. Some are like residences while others are more informal with a group of students renting a house. Davis talked to a number of people in the cafeteria during his visit and also joined CUS fieldworker .

I argus Undis<;losed ARGUS candidate loses through technicality. �argus, february 20, 1969, page 5 letters to the editor Cambrian Players reply to L.U. Drama Club Dear Sir: I was very sorry to read in your Feb. 6th edition, a letter from a member of the Lakehead University Drama Club which complains of the precedence given to the Cambrian Players with regard to back-stage dressing rooms and facilities and their "free and constant Can We Help You Find The Book You Need? We Stock College Outline Series And Other supplementary Reading. Business Supply Co. (BOOK DEPARTMENT) Books Available BY sPecial Order Across from Royal.

Just to set the record straight, I would like to point out that we have no access to facilities which are not similarly available to the students except for two small storage cupboards in which we store a few props and costumes. We have no free access to dressing rooms or other storage facilities because there are none until the additions and renovations to the University Centre are completed. As far as any committment with regard to the University Theatre is concerned, we have none at all except that we are permitted to reserve one week, three times a year, for the actual presentation of our productions. It often seems to be forgotten that we pay a comparitively large sum for this privilege, twenty percent of our gross receipts for each production. It can amount to and did last year, with the inclusion of our musical, OKLAHOMA, which ·we presented jointly with three other groups, to nearly two thousand dollars a year. As far as rehearsal time is concerned, we are permitted to use the theatre only when it has not already been booked by · • - · ·· ~n ·· :_tbe,Senate,.a~-~ ," '.

Our rehearsal periods are only booked about six weeks before the actual production when most important occasions requiring the theatre have already been arranged. In the period between the beginning of September and the end of December we had, roughly, about twelve rehearsal nights in the theatre. Since the beginning of January, we have had to date, exactly four occasions in which we have been permitted to use the theatre. We are anticipating about eight more rehearsal periods before our production of TIIE TIIREE CUCKOLDS commences of the 25th of February. We have been able to obtain two of these rehearsal. nights only because the UniDrama Club cancelled their previous bookings for them. I am sorry to be so pedantic about times and dates but I do feel it is necessary to make our position clear. I have been deeply distressed over the years that whenever a group of students get together to form a drama club, they seem to blame any difficulties they encounter on the existence of the Cambrian Players. They never discuss their problems with us and so we never get to hear of them until there is some kind of public attack. Since, I happen to have been rather intensely involved and concerned with the Lakehead University myself for the past fifteen years, I suppose I find this kind of thing particularly disturbing. I do happen to be the Artistic Director of The Cambrian Players but I also happen to be a ·student at Lakehead University. I know that my personal concern is shared by many other members of Cambrian Players who are directly connected with Lakehead University. Our executives for the 1968-69 season consists of three graduates of Lakehead University, two faculty members, one student . and three members of the cooununity at large. There are many other students and faculty amongst our general membership. It has never been our intention to in· hi bit the formation of any student drama club. On the contrary, ·we welcome such a club and have expressed a desire to assist any such group in any way that we can. There are many reasons why it is difficult to form a student drama club, the main one being thatitoften hard to find enough students who are willing and able to give the kind of time that theatre demands. We do not cons ider ourselves in competition with a student drama organization but rather as colleagues. We feel we have a place in that we can provide training and some continuity for those students, faculty and graduates who love theatre. My best wishes to the LakeStudent Drama Club for their March production. What we need in the Lakehead is not less theatre but more and better theatre.

The wins (87-78 on Friday and 81-73 on Saturday) marked the last Varsity games to be played at home this season. Richard Earl started both games in place of the injured Phil Fury. Fury suffered a back injury while the team was in Sudbury. The Nor'Westers couldn't take the lead until the clock showed only 4:00 remaining in the half, but a strong team effort yielded a 41-30 score at half.

Wayne Humphreys couldn't seem to miss on his long shots from out past the key and Dan Carroll, playing on an injured ankle, made extra effort needed to restore the Lakehead team's confidence. With only 5:00 remaining, Pero and Humphreys were racking up the baskets to give the Nor'Westers a 14 point margin. At 3:32 the ball freeze began in earnest. The last two minutes had the second string on the floor and although the Lumberjacks came within seven points of the Nor'Westers, Larry Hebert, with only seven seconds left, put the ball through the hoop to give the Lakehead team assurance of a victory. Final score 87-78, Lakehead shot 43% from the floor. Humphreys was high scorer with 29 points, followed by Willie Jerks with 22. Carroll had 13 points and led the rebounding with IO. The Lakehead team shot 65% from the foul line. For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather was the backbone of the team with 24 points and ten rebounds. Brown followed with 14 points and their shooting average was 40% from the floor, 62% from the line. Saturday's game promised to be exciting from the beginning but no one really knew just how exciting. The Lumberjacks set up a very tight defeµse and the Nor'Westers picked up very few points on organized offense. A fast break, liowever, proved to be the answer and through consistant playing the Nor'Westers picked up a 13 point lead. They led by ten at the half. The second half revealed many wasted shots but the real difficulty proved to be in the officiating. Unheeded fouls and bad calls led to rising tempers and things finally exploded at 12:13 of the second half. A scramble under the Have we got a deal for you • • • visitor's basket saw about five players grapping for the ball. Before anyone knew what happened, fists were flying. Dick Lee of the Lumberjacks was quit'e free with the elbows and Humphreys decided to show his disapproval. Lee was caught with a solid upper-cut on the side of the head and in a blind fury hit Carroll, who was lying face down on the floor. Carroll jumped up after Lee, who backed off, and in a matter of sec.onds both teams were all on the floor pushing and shoving. When things finally had settled down, the referees ejected Carroll and Lee from the game. Hardly a minute later, Humphreys picked up his fifth foul and he too left the floor. With Carroll and Humphreys both out, it was Pero who instilled the spirit of victory in the Nor'Westers. Pero picked up 14 points and 7 rebounds. Don Holmstrom also added valuable aid as he. made nine out of his last ten foul shots. Jerks led the scoring with 17 points, followed by Richard Earl with 15, The Nor' Westers shot 46% from the field and 57% from the line. Carroll pulled in 13 rebounds and Holmstrom handled 11, For the Lumberjacks, Pennyfeather again led the scoring with 25 points, and Brown topped the rebounding with ten.

They expected victory, were told their demands would be met and then, in the midst of the victory euphoria, were let down dramatically by a moribund faculty suddenly up with a snarl. The pent-up frustration could not be contained -- though it might have been had the police not been called. And the computers, so carefully guarded from harm by the students for 14 days, were smashed beyond repair by their meticulous guardians. They would have done their case better to withdrawquietly, losers in a wearying struggle. They had the support of the student body and might have seen their demands met after a while. But they responded to power with the only power they could muster, destruction. The anatomy of response is an intriguing problem but not very relevant. Administrative waffling Not much more relevant are the eight months of administrative waffling on the charges against Perry Anderson. The weakness and hesitancy led naturally to escalation, demands and finally occupation. That is a straight-forward process. The substantive charges against Anderson --which. now may never be explicitly defined-may or may not be valid. Racism is ~ d~ff~cult attitude to expose on the subtle mdividual level. Nuances of speech, treatment of individuals deliberate color-blindness may all be indicat~rs. It is not so much individual attitudes per se as the societal institutions that create them that are important. Pragmatically, in order to satisfactorily illustrate institutional racism, an educator would take an individual and show how he had been molded by, and was implicitly involved in, a greater societal process. That is the dramatic technique. Whether it is ethically justifiable is que~tionable. A judgement would involve balancing the relative weights of the consequences to the individual model against the possible value of an increase in sensitivity to and awareness of societal racism. . It is at best doubtful whether people, m_ the final analysis, were se~sit_i~ed to racism. There is no doubt that a sigmficant number of white students were -· they joined the occupation and talked out racism for days. They, however, would have arrived at that sensitivity on their own. An enormous number of people never looked beyond militancy and destruction. Black leader!':' may have been satisfied with the outcome, at least to a certain extent. They did manage to create a solid, militant core of blacks. Though they had little feeling for property rights, they did not want the destruction that resulted. They knew the strategical implications of damage and knew their case would be washed away in the swirl of shrill outcry. They simply lost control. There is no doubt the blacks were extremely sensitive to racism. They may have reacted too quickly, sized up situations too readily. They were of cour~e influenced by the black movement in America and the emerging one in Halifax. But all of this would not have been sufficient cause for the eruption. It was more white reaction that convinced them or racism than anything else. When people are told they're different, they become different. White radicals were one of the culpable groups. Their obsequience, hesitancy to question and debate with blacks convinced the blacks of their control. Decisions in the computing centre were almost invariable made by blacks, debate on strategy involved blacks. Whites did not participatd until they proved their worth by an independent occupation of the faculty club. BJacks handled Differently Administrators were also involved. Their continual hesitancy to act because of the "unpredictability" of blacks was disastrous. They could have handled w~i!e protest_ •· dialogue, compromise, all legitimate tactics with whites. But they made it clear from the beginning that they didn't know what to expect from the blacks and acted accordingly. The stilted politeness, retreat to downtown hotels, lack_ of connnunication all hinged on their evaluation of blacks as something Different, to be handled Differently. And they made no claim to expertise. An administration that has handled students cooly in the past suddenly lost its firm hand when dealing with black students. And the implications of that were not lost on the blacks. The faculty played its hand badly too. Teachers, perhaps the best people to sense the mood of the school, failed utterly. They were more concerned with Anderson's suspension and its implicatims to teaching security than with evaluating the political situation and making the best of it. And spokesmen kept making unfortunate evaluations of black students to the media. And, of course, there were hundreds of: "I don't care whether he's black, white, green or pink, I want the facts." Given that institutional racism had become an objective reality and was transmitted to them by various groups and individuals, they were unwilling to differentiate in any relative sense. Had they acknowledged that various individuals were blind to the manifestations of their unconscious racism but nevertheless were objective-ly less repugnant and easier to deal with than the deliberately constructed racist institutions or conscious ~acists themselves. they might have been able to work the dispute out. At that point, they could have forced many people to re-evaluate themselves and understand the conflict with the blacks. They wer.e able to work with white radicals, they may have been able to work -- though of course less effectively •• with white liberals. As the Differences piled up and the division was sharpened, the blacks, though never talking about it, began to despair. Perhaps they thought at heart the racist aspect of the situation could be explained away, that it was only surface dirt. As the occupation stretched on and they read signs calling them niggers, warning them to get back into their place, they lost hope. The overt racism coupled with the not-sq-subtle covert racism convinced them they would not Win. When the confrontation came, they had little to lose -· AS HUMAN BEINGS. The destruction was a last stutter of impotent rage. The whites involved were split. Some were radical people who tried all the while to put the affair into political perspective. The· blacks insisted they weren't interested in the "isms"•· capitalism, socialism, Marxism. They ejected one Maoist who was too vociferous. Gradually they began to create that revolutionary analysis. Some of them left before the police came, knowing they could do no good in jail. Others stayed to fight imperialism on the barricades. But many were white liberals genuinely interested in attaining justice, in creating a new Hearing Committee. They were driven to destruction because they were retrayed by people they believed would finally be reasonable -- liberal administrators and faculty. In the final analysis, it was the attitude of Difference that killed Sir George. Had this revolt been treated like any others, the tragedy \\Ould not have happened. Demands mild The demands made by the occupiers were the MILDEST made to date in the history of serious student revolt. The students simply wanted a new hearing committee, AGREEABLE TO BOIB SIDES, a demand they likened to any trial where prosecution and defense select the jury. f 1 .. d. Administrative and acu ty ngi ity came not from the unreasonableness of the demands (though of course a fair number. opposed in principle to giving in to students m any way) but rather from evaluation of the people they were dealing with. And they were incapable of dealing with blacks. Perhaps the blacks in the long run did prove their case. But everybody has paid an enormous price for that lesson. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Schools Teachers' College may join Lakehead University in Fall Lakehead Teacher's College will be absorbed by L.U, and a new four year degree program in Education will be offered next September, barring unforseen obstacles. The expansio1i..was approved in principle by the Senate Tuesday 4 March in a vote 17· 3 with several abstentions. The Board of Governors and the Department of Education still have to agree ·to the change. They are expected to do so shortly. The Board of Governors will agree because it will mean considerable expansion and probably the creation of a new faculty. The Dept. of Education will accept because they have been trying for it since 1966, when the McLeod report recommended it for Ontario. The Degree Course in Education, which still has to be announced by the University, will probably mean three years of Arts and one of teacher training. Probably it will be a separate faculty, but if not it will go under University Schools. There may be some conflict overfaculty status and wages. Teachers' College faculty normally have lower academic standing, but as Provincial Civil Servants, are paid slightly higher. Salaries at L.U. start at about $8,600. At Teacher's College they b 11;in 0 $12,000. L.U. faculty are currently negotiating for higher wages. If the takeover is successful other Universities are expected to follow suit. Universities and Teachers' Colleges in St. Catherines, Ottawa and Sudbury are watching Lakehead's progress. At present plans call only for Primary School Teachers to be part of the program, but if the Secondary School Teachers are brought in - as is quite likely - Lakehead will be the al first campus in Canada to do so. There· are 13 Teachers' Colleges in Ontario and the McLeod report recommended that all become part of a UnivPrsi ty. It strongly criticize,d the r,1ebenL bi "'tem of allowing Grade 13 students with one year of Teachers' College to teach Grade School. For many years in Ontario there has been a shortage of teachers, so little has been done about improving the quality of Grade School Teachers. This year Education Minister William Davis announced the shortage was over. Both Dr. Tamblyn and Mr. West, Principal of Lakehead Teachers' College, were unavailable for comment. Two councillors were reelected and two ARGUS staffers won seats in last Friday's AMS Council elections. Winter Cami val Queen Donna Pace topped the Arts pole with 205 votes. ARGUS editor Ron Baker was second with 194 and Simon Hoad another ARGUS staffer, followed close with 193. Hoad was followed by Ken Boshcoff and Mike Gravelle, who were running for reelection, with 178 and 165 votes respectively. Val Dennison, who worked on LUST this year, gained the last Arts seat with 158 votes. John MacGregor came five votes -short with 153. Doug Smart was next with 141 while Ray Hunt polled 135. Kumar Kwatra, Mike Metherelle and Robert MacLeod drew 123, 115, and51 votes respectively. In University Schools, Albert Au topped the polls \; h 21:) rntes. Sharon Weller and Darlene Cymbalisty followed with 155 and 122. John Drew won the last University Schools seat with 115 votes. Jack Tallon lost out by ten votes, polling 105. Janet Hamer, running for re-election came next with 88, and Dave Snell drew 78 votes. A poor turnout in Science gave John Paddington the sole Science seat. Paddington beat Judy Pearson by 39-26 vote. Tom Fry won the election for SAS President, defeating a Arts Faculty opens meetings In a meeting on March 3, the Arts Faculty voted to open its meetings to student observers. At the moment the faculty has no legally defined powers. Its role within the university is limited to general inter-departmental discussions and recommendations to more authoritative bodies. It is the general hope among faculty and students that openness might lead to effective student representation at these meetings. Towards the concept of students having a say in the things that affect their lives, the next step might well be openning the Senate. Students have been offered seats on the Senate, but have declined while the Senate continues to hold dosed meetings. Ron Hiller 257 to 149.

One of the most famous and controversial contemporary American poets, Ginsberg will conduct a poetry reading at the Field House on Friday March 14 at 8 p.m. (Tickets $1 at the door). Incense, electronic music and s ubdued lighting will provide the appropriate atmosphere for the reading. Ginsberg will present his poetry from a central, raised platform covered with oriental rugs. The audience will be seated around him on the floor and in the bleachers. The gregarious, 43-year-old poet has become a public figure because of his outspoken criticism of American society. His campaigns for civil rights, his stand against the war in Vietnam and his efforts to have marijuana legalized have thrust him into public eye as a spokesman for contro_versial and unpopular causes. Ginsberg's works, an extensive body of poetry and essays, have been translated into eight languages, including Japanese and Hindu. Three complete volumes of his poetry have been released in the United States. Noted fool receives standing ovation at L.U. by Simon Hoad The Lakehead was treated to a fool's eye view of the world Friday evening by a noted fool, Malcolm Muggeridge. With ever-present wit, speaking without notes, he captivated an overflow audience with his performance and won a standing ovation. Within his mind's eye (fool's eye?) Muggerridge must have been well pleased. Four hundred people giving a standing ovation for a whipped cream presentation. Weightier matters must not be dealt witli, for the audience wouldn't understand. As a mesmerized crowd we jumped through his hoops, shared the vicarious thrill of seeing semi-sacred cows roundly thrashed, without examining the semi-sacred role of the public speaker. We did not turn a fool's eye view at Muggerridge or at ourselves as an audience. Surely, as an educated man he must have chuckled inside. For the price of sharing small insights we ·missed the bigger- ones. For a fool's eye view a sense of perspective is needed. Man must see himself measured not against the pomposities of his fellow idiots but in relation to the span of eternity. ·A short stumble as a bare-footed creature is all that is man's life. Within this perspective laughter at man's pretensions of grandeur is the salvation as well as the only human resource we possess. Between the height of our expectations and the middling range of our achievements we find ourselves. Laughter is the measure of the distance between the two. Muggerridge has seen this fact clearly. He is amused at himself. We, catching part of the vision, laughed at men, not ourselves, for we are still blind. And we gave a standing ovation to that charlatan on stage. - �argus, march 13, 1969, page 2 Regina fees fight ends This week THURSDAY,MARCH13 Spanish Dancing - Room 1006 - 9 p.m. FRIDAY, MARCH 14 AMS Judicial Committee Meeting - Board Room - 1 p.m. International Students Organization Annual Executive Election - Room 1029 - 3:30 p.m. Lakehead Chess Ass'n Banquet and Dance - Great Hall 6 p.m. Contemporary American Poet - Allan Ginsberg - Field House - 8 p.m. SATURDAY, MARCH15 Forestry Seminar - Auditorium - I p.m. Forestry Dinner - Great Hall - 5:30 p.m. MONDAY, MARCH 17 The Jewish Chautaugua Society - with Rabbi Hamburger Auditorium - 7 p.m. TUESDAY, MARCH 18 Adult Club Meeting - Room 1024 - 2:30 p.m. P.A.

John and Secord Sts. Dial 344-1743 #Pll'WAY/NG at 1:00 - s:10 REGINA (CUP) -- The fee collection conflict at the University of Saskatchewan ended Wednesday night when the board of governors finally agreed to student demands that it continue to collect student union fees at source. The agreement, reached between student council and board negotiators, was ratified by general meeting of students Thursday and was expected to be ratified quickly at a board meeting Thursday night. The conflict began Dec. 31 when the board announced it would no longer collect union fees in a fairly obvious attempt to throttle its major campus antagonist, the student newspaper, The Carillon. Ever since then, students have demanded the board recant and leave The Carillon alone and slowly built up general student support for that position. The negotiations staggered on for over six weeks as the board waited for student pressure to subside. The negotiations themselves kept stumbling over various issues -- at first the question of openness but later the major problem of The Carillon. The student negotiators were adamant throughout that The Carillon be independent of the university administration and directed solely by the students. The Carillon has repeatedlyproved a major source of embarrassment to the board and the provincial government. The agreement that the administration will collect student union fees will be in effect for one year and will continue each year unless either party gives notice of cancellation by March I. Each year a majority of students must approve the fees. In an attempt to avoid further confrontation between the board and students, the parties agreed to set up a liaison committee to deal generally with all matters of common interest. The committee will be composed of five representatives of the board and twelve student representatives. It will meet at least twice · a semester and report back to the parent bodies. And this liaison committee will handle all disputes involving The Carillon. The Carillon, it was agreed in the negotiations, will adhere to the Code of Ethics set by the Canadian University Press. Any grievance against The Carillon with respect to performance under the code will be dealt with by the liaison committee. The s(udent victory at the bargaining table was a clear vindication of the student strategy to involve the mass of students and the community in the dispute. All decisions were made in large open meetings and abided with by student leaders. The Saskatchewan community was continually informed on the situation and £re e t all d on fur su - port. The administrati~n gave up when it became apparent there would be no violent action by the students to prejudice their case and when it was obvious that the general mass of students would not snpport the administration in its bid to destroy the stusupport the administration in its bid to destroy the student union and The Carillon. Inflamatory speeches in the provincial legislature and by Premier Ross Thatcher did not help the administration either. This week's election -- in a large turnout of strongly pro-union student leaders convinced the board they couldn't win. In a similar situation last year, McGill University's principal H. Rocke Robertson stopped plans to discontinue fee collection for the student council when he also was confronted with a student show of solidarit a ainst his ro osal. ~:I l Chartered flight to Hong Kong Overseas students at Bishop's University are organizing a return chartered flight from Montreal to Hong Kong via San Francisco this summer.

If you guessed all of these, you are half-way there. Where? to allowing groups to help themselves, and not be dependent upon outside sources. You must allow and aid the building of independence, and freedom, whether of one individual, one group, one race or one nation. This was the sentiment of panels throughout the WUS International Week of Concern. It culminated in last Friday's discussion of poverty in Northwestern Ontario. About eighty people were physically there, but only half brought their minds. Ken Dawson, Department of Anthropology, status within our own country. "We need a regional government 1 to develop a policy with our people, to stop our lands being used as the private preserve of outsiders who at whim harvest the resources." The poor communication system of Northern Ontario easily reinforces our sense of isolation. Commercial broadcasting and news services continually look inward into the area, creating a static atmosphere, isolated from any real links with the outside world. This is perpetu• ated by the power structure in the Lakehead, which is similar to a family compact. There is no ownership of primary or secondary industry in the area. In fact there is no secondary industry • Why not? Because of the nature of our industry, workers must be mobile, seasonal, or subject to dislocation. Young people find it easy to leave. Those who stay become public charges, in the Buddy Sault, from the CYC applied this to the Indian people. "You cannot help us. There is no way that you can help us. "Your white brothers have brought in people from the East. That is like sending me to Finland to work with the Finns • I don't know their ways and they don't know ours." It is not for the white man to help the Indian with what the white man has labelled The Indian Problem. It is for the white man to destroy the obstacles which prevent the native people from working out their own solutions. The white man must allow the native people freedom to develop in a way which they themselves define. It is not for the middle class person to administer doles of Aspirinized social welfare cheques. It is for the middle class person to help the poverty-stricken of Northern Ontario to organize themselves into meaningful attion grows _where are the solut·1ons7 outlined historically why poverty and flourishes in Northern Ontario:stillman no longer adapts himself to nature; instead, out· side "experts" have come in, and keep coming in, to extract our natural resources, foisting an unnatural alien dependence on outsiders rather than on ourselves. Millie Fiorito, of the Company of Y rung Canadians, further explained this. The MidCanada Corridor proposes that all of them in Southern Canada shall "gird their loins and stiffen their spines and mpve up to the north." The development is a tremendous drive forextracting and denuding the land for the sake of profit. No mention is made of the attitudes of the present inhahitants of the North • us. The other latest development of the power structures that be is the Crown Corporation, set up to decide what is going to happen to us. It will "make life better first for southerners, then for us." Need Regional Government "The economics of Canada are designed for the southern Ontario industrial complex," stated Dawson. This creates in us a sense of colonial government sense, and also in the sense that their work is meaningless and becomes a strug• gle for sheer existence in the life-style imposed by the bureaucratic shirts-and-ties in those faraway megalopoli. Dale Torrie, a former social worker ~ith the Children's Aid Society, denounced the present set-up of all social welfare agencies. They perpetuate existing problems by helping the individual to cope with his 'difficulties, rather than encouraging the individual to see the underlying causes of why his problems •exist, and enabling him to alleviate these root causes. ''Too many social workers are afraid to make waves. ·They are do-gooders who have little real use." Band-aids, or a welfare state, ar.e__n_o solution to a people who are impoverished and cannot help themselves. groups which can confront the outsiders about their own problems. Define own struggles Where does this leave the average, white mi.ddle class students? It is necessary for students at this university to define their own struggles, and, working side-by-side, and handin-hand, with other oppressed groups, confront the common enemy which imposes itself on us. The canmon enemy is the foreign owners of industry and education. Suddenly it was 5:30, and because someone (?) had decided that when this time came, the session ·was over, those who had left their minds stowed in their lockers, moved en masse to the exits. The others, who were beginning to learn and to dialogue, questionned the ar• bitrary power that refused to allow a real learn• ing experience to continue. But they left too. The Cultural Revolution in China Last week fifty people listened to Ray Wylie, a Canadian who spent two years in China as an English instructor, speak on "The Cultural Revolution In China." The talk was part of the program for International Week of Concern organized by the local committee of the World University Service Committee. Wylie first pointed out three important aspects of the revolution: • -Intellectual independence from European bourgeoise and Soviet communism. •Mao Tse-tung as the only true heir to Marx, Lennin and Stalin. •China reassured to be a peasant orientated country. He went on to compare the type of communism in China under Mao Tse-tung with that in Russia. He illustrated that Mao is attempting to reconstruct the social system of China into a purer form of communism based on the original principles of Marx, Lennin and Stalin. Mao feels the most important goal in China is to build a strong social country, not necessarily an Utopia, but a country for the people themselves. This explains why the present Red Army was able to defeat the previous Kuomintang Army. The Red Army knew how and why to fight. Within the army there is no rank or privileges. The men live and work with the people. Lin Piao, Mao's possible successor, emphasizes political education along Mao's principles in the army. To bring this out, Wylie repeated the words of Marshall Lin: • "Let the whole army become a school of Mao". After the lecture the floor was opened to discussion. In answer to the question whether Mao Tse-tung had won the cultural revolution, Wylie answered in the affirmative and went on to point out many positive achievements in communist China since Mao's take over in 1949. Asked about the population and birth control situation in China, he said the present population of 750 million in China is increasing at a rate of 1.5 million per year. Birth control is on a voluntary basis. He ended the meeting by saying "China is now moving into world politics. There is no doubt that she has a lot that can be contributed to all the nations of the world. Following Wylie's discussion there was a film of Dr. Paul Lin, a Canadian born Chinese professor at McGill, speaking of China today in relation to the rest of the world. Dr. Lin pointed out that it is now necessary to recognize China as a world power. Asked about the possibility of atomic threats to the Western World by the present Chinese regime, he answered that the Chinese are peace loving and would not attack any country unless first threatened. He pointed out that the building of atomic armament in China is purely defensive. Dr. Lin feels the Chinese people are enjoying more freedom under communistic rule than ever before. They are enjoying a freedom of criticizing government officials, equality of all classes, equal distribution of labour and wages as well as freedom of speech to a certain extent. Dr. Lin also described the Chinese form of democracy in the communes. He said that in the communes, the discussion preceding a vote is most important. The people get very much involved in the issues and eventually one candidate for election becomes the obvious choice. Often his opponents drop out before the vote is taken. Dr. Lin said this often gives Westerners a picture of totalitarianism, Chairman Mao �the end This is the end for another year. This is the time the ARGUS staffers crawl out of the ·si-n bin and into the library to try to catch up on the studying the rest of you have been doing all year (theoretically). But perhaps we've learned something from working on the ARGUS. And perhaps you've learned something from reading it. If so, our tame wasn't wasted. The ARGUS is indebted to a11 the staff who gave so much of their time to put it together, the many students (and even some administrators) who turned in copy unasked and Guide Publishers, who managed to get every issue here on time and in good shape. It has been a quiet year for Lakehead, compared to some other universities in Canada. We hope we have kept you informed with major student news. We hope we will be able to dig deeper next year. To this end, we hope more students will participate in the ARGUS next year, for the ARGUS is a student paper, and we are far from being a clique. There is about an 80% turnover of staff each year, and very few staffers know one another before meeting at the office. ..

The above things were made possible; despite the fac t that the ARGUS played down the week as much as possible; despite the fact that our posters which· were stuck up i n the main cafeteria, in advertently fell to the ground, (I may add here a political pos ter was placed up instead) despite the fact that the black· board which was always in front of the Un iversityTheatre mysteriously disappeared on Monday morning, only to re• appear on Thursday to be used by another club. The propaganda machine that was initiated by a hand· ful of so-called "straight people", to smear WUS as being a radical movement which is existing for the mere sake of creating trouble, culminated to the grave:;,t proportions during the Week of Concern. As a passing comment I can only say that I will rather associate with the few "hippies" or "yippies" or whatever name you wish to call those members of WUS who are very sincere in their convictions, rather than be caught up in the web of hypocrisy that exists in the circle of some of these "straight" people. If during the Week of CQn• cern, we were able to initiate dialogue, so that people could be more aware of existing con • ditions the world over, then the time that was spent to make such a week possible would not have been wasted. Sincerely, Khalid Ali ( Chairman of WU S) Editor's Note: The time was not wasted. We are sorry you feel the ARGUS •·played down" the Congrats Dear Sir: Please allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your recent elect• ion to die AMS Council. I wish you more luck in your endeavors next year than we had this past year in Council. However, all of the "bas· beens'' will be watching you. Good luck. John Hickey Business Admin III P.S. It's my turn to be the snake in the grass. week of ·international concern, but we could not write mounds of copy on something that had 1ot yet occurred. Also, the week before International Week, we did not publish a paper, due to reading week. Massive coverage two weeks 'n advance would have been wasted. Student cafeteria Dear People: Got compl aints about the quality of food in the campus cafeteria? Why not operate it your• self? According to Bob Glide, former cafeteria manager, profits in the 1967-68 season were in excess of .$17,000; all of which went to Versa-foods. Why should this profit not go to a student oriented and organized body? Student labour could be employed on a full or part time basis. Then we would have no one to com• plain to but ourselves. If the AMS is not willing to do this the SDU is. It has made sufficient studies to determine that student takeover of this cafeteria is econ· omically feasible. What do your think? What do you want? Should students be allowed to run their own cafeteria? sou. �r i...· - - Marines called to Fakehead University About 12,000 American marines were rushed to Fake• head last night to quell a violent student uprising at the university. The trouble began when several students violently rose from their seats and questioned their professor in a Sociology class. The pro· fessor complained to the administration, who set. up a committee to look into the alleged outbreak of thinking. Three students disagreed with the committee's term of reference, and after three week's failure to change the committee, occupied a broom closet. "But we'll make a clean sweep of them," commented President Tam Lynn, "F,U, administration will not stand for such violent 'disruption of the uni ver si ty." Several students occupied amen's washroomin sympathy with the closeted three, but the marines quickly flushed them out. • Before calling in the ltlar• ines, F .u. administration indicated the three students might be armed to the teeth, could have connections with inttrnational communism, and might be agents of the yellow peril. The administratim report said no one knew if the stu· dents had poison gas or other unknown communist superweapons. No on~ could prove for certain that bacterial agents could not be ·brought in, or that unknown earthquakemakers could not spill Fakehead into the lake. The report stressed that the administration had no concrete indications of violence, had tried every means of reasoning with the students but was forced into calling in the marines to avoid violence. Rumour has it that the students have- heavy cannon. But fortunately the marines are prepared with howitzers to level the area around the closet before going in. Folly Lake .Bridge ·u nder construction Administration committee studying outbreak of thinking at Fakehead University. A Report was given out to• day on the progress of the Folly Lake Bridge. President Tam Lynn announced that the -work force had reached a total of plus 2,000labourers, some of whom are only capable of working part time. The Folly Lake Bridge is designed to span the wide blue expanse of Folly Lake from side to side. Feasibility studies indicated that the most economi- cal method of spanning the distance was to have the bridge built across the lake. Construction was first de• layed until the foundations had been dug by hand, a tradition at Fakehead University. The plastic and chrome design was chosen in a con• test promoted by the AMS, Structural difficulties are anticipated in placing the centre pylons. Folly Lake is only seven inches deep. Where the news happens, the aarl'gg is Whenever the news happens, that's where the AARRGG is. Last night it was happening at the heart of the greatest maze of engineering and architectu· ral genius in the history of mankind and Fake• head University •· the new cafeteria complexity, cum companion monstrosity to the newly completed Sentorial Building. Leader of the safari into the deepest tamed wilds of the hitherto-untravelled-by-student-feet maze, Tim Timorous, said the maze was simply amazing. . "The maze was simply amazing", said Tim. He went on to comment on the overwhelming accumulation on all manner of accessories, like bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust. ''There is an overwhelming accumulation of all manner of accessories", he said, "Including bicycle chains, copper piping, and dust." Another member of the expedition, Willi otherwise known as Willi or by her friends as Spud, went to Great Lengths in describing the great qualities of grey dust. When questioned by the AARRGG on her experiences during the whirl wind tour of the thing, she went to Great Lengths (who was also on the expedition) who concurred with her judgement that the qualities of the quantities qualitatively could qualify for the classification as grey dust, although he would rather call it greyish dust, "I would rather call it greyish dust,., he said. Great Lengths, a distant relative of Grate Lakes, noted primarily for his nauseous odour, had little else to say about what transpired between the time the team trooped from the AARRGG underground office into the unknown, sort.of like a bad TV commercial, or worse, like a bad TV series. '~ARRGG", he said The fact-finding team discovered, among other things, staircases which led to other staircases, ~taircases which led to big hples which dropped the team back to the bottom of the staircases, staircases which led to upstairs and staircases which led to downstairs. "I believe that life is all about things like that, and sundry ~ther relevent and unrelated mortals that gluinp and flurb up down and around wifflewump", said Grate Lakes, when questioned about an unrelated item, but that's alright, anyway, sort of. Copper piping 1ying on the floor of what could be an underground cafeteria, but which also could be the home for FU's new collection of copper piping, was especially well-noted by the expeditionary force. "We could take that and sell it to a scrap metal dealer", said the leader, who did not actually see the goods, "And make. a profit on a minimum of expended energy, or manhours.'' But on third thought, the piping was six feet long and the doors were only three feet wide, so the crew couldn't get it out, at least not un• til morning when the workers came in, and the .force could borrow their hacksaws, but it was a F-riday night and the workers had the weekend off, so th·a t would mean staying there to make sure no one stole the loot until Monday at least, or maybe Tuesday, because maybe the workers didn't even get that far into the interior of the thing until Tuesday, because it takes them just about a whole day to get back out again, once they get in, and besides there was no food for the girl member of the expedition, and she had to make it back to the inhabited areas of the University before her next. class so she could make a point of skipping it, for she even had a bicycle on which to place the bicycle chains found in the deserted, under-construction-looking place of wonder and awe, where the toilets aren' t even hooked up, and the holes go from one floor to another, and things like that, so they came back because everyone does sooner or sooner. But as they struck another match to see where they weren't going. they suddenly and in a spark of light realized that the workmen would not be in on Monday, nor on Tuesday, at least not at the rate the strike was being settled, so they sat down on the dust which surpasses all description and proceeded to describe it. "I think such a word as 'it' should be better defined", said Great Lengths. "Yes, but I think first you should be better defined." said the leader, who no one on the the expedition, if you will allow the use of that term, had decided who it was. So they sat on the something which sure looked and smelled and felt like grey dust, and tried to define a Great Length. "Seven inches", said the leader, who thought he was leader. "Maybe even ten inches", said another echo. cont'd, over I-' �I • aarrgg news continued I Where the news happens, the aarrgg is. . . this is copper tubing.

That is the name of the AMS (Alma Mater Society or students union) gave to what is really registration time. And that is how the AMS started off for most students-· little or no significance at all. However, in retrospect orientation did make a start considering the number of people available to work on it. Out-going AMS President Peter McCormack's suggestion of starting now on orientation and the possibility of hiring an orientation chairman for part of the summer might bring more results. The next issue where stu• dents met the AMS Council was the Bus Issue--that memorialday in the auditorium with the students rejecting the council's plan--and then the confidence vote. But the bus service did improve . in the end. The, original push came from outside the council, and much of the work was done by stu· dents other than councillors, but student participation is what we want. As Peter McCormack said in his annual report, "The Bus Issue is a bad memory, although it is the issue this year which produced satisfactory results." Speaking of transportation problems there was also the parking issue. This arose when the administration suggested that students be fined for improper parking. Several sturealized that they were paying a large part of the ~ost for attendants to keep students out of the faculty and administration lots. The idea of democratization of the parking lots came to mind and a committee was formed to implement the same. Among the actions of this committee was a petition with nearly 1000 signatures. However, this issue got lost somewhere between the University Committee, the Faculty Association, the administration and winter. cus Then also the CUS (Canadian Union of Students) issue required some political thought and time from Council. How difficult political discussion was for them. They started by deciding we needed a referendum. Before this could be held, however, they launched a debate of the resolutions of the Guelph Congress. A special Sunday afternoon meeting was called for this puq>ose, during which elitism and a grandiose plan to study this was debated but no reso• lutions were dealt with. Then Council tried again, this time allotting part of each regular meeting to the task. The Declaration of the Canadian Student was accepted but the resolutions based on it received a rather inconsistent response from council. This attitude, on the part of Council in general, brought about the resignations of four of the more politically minded councillors. Out of these resignations came Town Hall, This is a . valuable concept and should be used in future to keep Council in touch with the students and to debate important issues. However, Town Hall got ~gged down in structural red tape and faded into nothing. Poverty in the West Indies by Keith Clarke Poverty in the West Indies was the topic Thursday during the World University Service Committee's Week of Concern. A panel of West Indian students discussed the poverty situation in their own countries and what could be done about it. Curtis Mc Sween outlined the poverty conditions in Trinidad as less severe than in most of the other islands, due to Trinidad's oil resources. "Actually poverty in the West Indies, explaiµed from a historical point ·of view, is one of colonialism where the greatest part of the profits are exported from the island. There fore the native people have no chance to make use of these profits." Michael Brown said of St. Vincent that slaves brought from Africa to work the plantations constitute the bulk of the peasants who remain very poor, unable to buy adequate supplies of food. ◄ 'There is no free secondary education in St. Vincent. Most parents cannot afford to educate their children past the primary level and the higher educations go to children mainly in the upper class." "There is a great deal of political exploitation of the electorate, which consists mainly of the lower class, and nothing is done to alleviate their poverty." George Goodwin said Antigua has recently suffered from severe droughts which caused much damage to the banana crops. He noted that Antigua is a very "Americanized" is• land with mostly American in· vestments and industries. "Antigua is reputed to be one of "the most beautiful islands in the West Indies. Thus the government is exploiting tourism which is cutting down the labor force, and those experienced with working the land are out of work and must emmigrate to other islands." Winston Rennie, chairman of the discussion, pointed out held around Chi;istmas or that a U.N. report described Carnival time when they want Trinidad as having one of the the people to have lots of highest economic growths in money. "The American government the world. He asked the panel to reconcile this growth with is afraid of the islands becoming Socialist states with the po"erty ·situation. Mcsween said the majority the industries owned by the of wealth is concentrated in people and worked by the (The Americans the hands of a few people. people." "Most of the money," he said would lose their huge profits.) Rennie outlined discrimi"goes to Swiss and Swedish banks where it gains higher nation in Trinidad, where a rates of interest and the people black person ca-n only reach a certain level. By the time the gain no benefits." ''In Trinidad the workers black man learns a higher job, are denied the right to strike, and is ready for advancement, thus eliminating any chance a white man is brought in fo of gaining a greater share of take the job. Often the black man must teach the white man these profits and perpetuating the job first. their poverty." Angela Winchester attacked Rennie added, "An overthe churches and the schools seas company can set up an industry in Trinidad tax-free in the West Indies for helping for five years. At the end of to maintain poverty and foreign She said the five years the company either exploitation. sets up another tax-free in- people must be more educated dustry or just pulls out." about their own problems in Mcsween said the American order to solve them. "This," added Rennie, government designs crash building programs such as "will be our job when we go roads and bridges. These are home to our countries." With the beginning of Town Hall, Council passed off the CUS resolutions to it. They remained for the rest of the year unfinished. However, the referendum was held and LU remains in CUS. The AMS Council also played what has come to be known across Canada as the Chief Justice game. The first LU match in this game featured Rene Larson who was asked to resign because his competence was questioned despite the fact that a special committee could find no in· competence on .his part. The charges followed Larson's firing of Prosecutor Art Looye and Looye's charge that it was the Judicial ·committee and not him that should go for incompetence. Then after the Christmas break, Council got to play the game again--this time with Mike Barkwell, following his exam week escapade in the lower cafeteria. Barkwell came off better than Larson, being· able to weather the storm. He remains Chief Justice until the new executive makes its appointments. As McCormack said in his annual report this committee "could justifiably be called a farce upon general reflection of the extraordinary number of persons who came and went." The second match in the Justice game also focused on some interesting procedural matters in -the Council meet• ings. The problem .was· partly that the Chairman was someone other than the AMS President, not even a councillor, Council with the assistance of this chairman had engaged in some fancy footwork that was of questionable legality, but they finally readjusted to conform somewhat more to their own rules, and the President resumed the chair. Now we turn to an issue that has been with Council all year--the Senate. Early in the fall Council presented a brief asking for representation on the Senate sub-committees and openness in the Senate. In October the Senate responded with the offer of Senate sub-committee positions and the offer of three student seats on the 30-odd member Senate, but no open ness. Council appointed the representatives to the subcommittee after asking for nominations from the student body. A footnote to Subcommittees is a comment made by McCormack in his report, "Either there have been few meetings or else we have not received notice of them." Senate Openness Council rejected the offer of student seats on Senate because of their policy of not sitting on boards with closed nie·e tings. The Senate has not made any moves since. The issue has been brought periodically for discussion in Council, once on the request of_ President Tamblyn, only to be shelved again. Dennis Wallace, the new AMS President, is preparing a new brief on Senate openness and representation. However, at present the Senate remains closed and without students. It is one of the few in Canada without student Senatas and seems reluctant to join the list with open meetings. (at least 17 across Canada.) We now have a new exe• cutive and eleven councillors, One wonders what kind of political discussions will be carried on by this Council, who will .resign, . if anyone, whether students one year from now will be more involved in academic decision making than now because of Council's actions.

To the question of whether there are any case leads apart from the video, Mr. Murray replied, "No. Nothing has been provided to me by the police. It's their investigation because of the amount of the theft." The television was valued at around $5,000 and if caught, the suspects could be charged with grand theft. As to whether security would be making any changes, particularly regarding security in the ATAC building, he responded, "There are no changes we plan to make to security. That's up to someone higher than me." Good news for amateur actors, though: Mr. Murray said the possibility existed of the case being put on Crimestoppers, a local news .segment where crimes are re-enacted through dramatization.

Argus News Volunteers needed: fundraising for Tsunami Aid Relief Ashliegh Gehl The Multicultural Centre, located in the tunnels between LUSU and the Gender Issues Centre, has set a goal of raising $5,000 for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that recently devastated thirteen countries. Lakehead has over 6,000 students; if everyone donated a dollar this goal could be reached. In order to make this a reality, the Multicultural Centre is looking for volunteers that will help fundraise; so your thoughts, your hands, and your passion are needed. If you would like to help with this project, please visit the center anytime between Monday and Thursday from 8:30am to 4pm. If you do not have time to help fundraise, there will be donation box~s all over campus. These boxes can be found at LUSU, the Outpost, the Study, Tim Horton's, and in the secretary offices of your faculty. If you do not feel comfortable donating in the boxes, please visit the international Red Cross website (http://www.redcross.org/donate/ donation-form.asp) to donate online. If you think that you cannot afford to donate at this take, take into consideration the words of Anne Frank, "No one has ever become poor from giving." However, if you cannot donate money, there are other goods that are greatly needed; such as clothing, shoes, and building materials. On Wednesday, January 12th, there will be an open mic night starting at about 8pm in the Study. At this event, donations of any kind are welcoine; every contribution, whether it is educating one another on the disaster, or donating time, money, and needed materials, makes a significant difference. Sometime during the day, perhaps during a break between classes, visit the friendly faces at the Multicultural Centre to lend a hand, share your ideas, or keep up to date on up coming events.

Tom Peotto/Argus Hours before, in western Baghdad, a bomb-laden truck drove into a police checkpoint and was detonated in the Green Zone, the location of the U.S. Embassy and the interim government's headquarters. This explosion occurred right next to the Iraqi National Guards barracks, where the interim government's paramilitary forces are trained. The explosion killed six people and wounded 40. Attacks have intensified in recent months as militants attempt to undermine the provisional government and the upcoming elections, slated for Sunday, January 30th • On Monday, January 3111, insurgents caused an explosion outside Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's party headquarters, killing three and injuring 25. Like Allawi, al-Haidari was targeted for his cooperation with American forces. Since last summer's official transfer of power to interim government by the Americans, al-Haidari was the most senior official to be assassinated. Government officials are finally admitting that the six central and northern provinces with a Sunni Muslim majority (the minority under Saddam Hussein) have near-daily outbreaks of violence. Speaking on conditions of anonymity, a senior U.S. Embassy official in Baghdad told the press, "The war's worse, the insurgency's worse... This is not going to be a short fight. Nobody should think it is." Conditions have deteriorated to the extent that Prime Minister Allawi, who told Washington three months ago that 15 of Iraq's 18 provinces were safe to visit, now refers to the situation as "our catastrophe."

Released this past September, the study entitled The Price of Knowledge: Access and Student Finance in Canada, combines existing and original research to examine key issues surrounding student access to post-secondary studies. Over the past IO years, tuition has increased by 76 percent with an average student debt of $21,000. For Canadians from low-income backgrounds, fee increases make it progressively more difficult to overcome the existing obstacles to a post-secondary education. However, according to the report, these rapidly rising tuition fees and increased needs for student loans have not had a significant impact on students' accessibility to Canadian universities. The study reveals that university enrolment has increased by more than 20 percent in the last five years alone, while average annual tuition costs and debt load have climbed. Sean Junor, one • of the study's authors, believes that barriers keeping students from pursuing post-secondary education are more than just rising tuition fees. He cited higher admission requirements, as well as social and cultural costs. Several student leaders and student groups have criticized the report for minimizing the importance of tuition on accessibility. Joel Duff, former Ontario chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students, is concerned about the accuracy of the study. "By denying the negative impact of increasing tuition fees and soaring student debt on students from middle and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, the Foundation - i~ providing an study, following up 1995 data, resulted in an increase from 23 to 36 percent of students who cited financial reasons for not attending university. The authors used two factors to determine changes in overall access to education: This study, recently released by the Millennium Scholarship Foundatio11 suggests that increased tuition costs does not affect eost-secondar_y enrollment levels alibi for a further deterioration in access to higher education." Liam Arbuckle, the national director of the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, agrees with Duff. His biggest concern is with the antiquated data, noting that many of the statistics used in the report date as far back as the 1980s, before most of the major tuition increases and the deregulation of many programs. A 2000 the number of people who are attending school and the demographics of those people. Overall, the study found that greater numbers of young people are attending university, with the largest percentage increase occurring in families from the middle-income range. Arbuckle states that there is a misunderstanding that "just because the number of students attending university is increasing does not mean there is no problem with students being able to afford university." Duff compares paying for education with paying for groceries. "People do not stop eating just because they have no money." He points out that more and more students are realizing that they must go to university, despite limited financial resources, in order to earn a middle-class • income. Recent Statistics Canada research points out that today, 85% of all families desire post-secondary education for their children; however, less than 20% of those from lower socio-economic backgrounds will attend university. According to Provost Shirley Neuman, the report underscores what univers1t1es already know. "It is important to note that while 90 percent of families • expect to qualify for government loans, in reality only half receive them." Student leaders have argued that there is a much greater need for governments to take meaningful steps to reduce tuition fees, create a system of up-front needs-based grants, an<;! restore education funding. The • study was conducted by the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation, established in I 998 by Parliament with a ten-year mandate to improve access to post-secondary education. Most of the foundation's $2.5 billion endowment is directed towards providing approximately $289 million per year in grants to undergraduate students in Canada with financial need.

While the event was not as well attended as Young Liberal President James Bowie had hoped, those present were enlightened with a number of speeches. Nathan Hewitson, of the Lakehead Young Liberals, spoke of the importance of youth being involved in politics. Fadi Dawood, Vice President Finance of the Lakehead Young Liberals spoke of the glory of democracy, reflecting on his time growing up in Iraq, stating that one can really understand the ·'importance of democracy when you live m a country without freedom. MPP Gravelle stressed the importance of youth involvement in politics. Gravelle stated that through the youth • 55-Year-Old puts wolf in headlock Tom Peotto/ Argus A uranium-mill worker owes his survival of a New Year's Eve wolf attack to knowledge of proper winter dress and application of wrestling techniques. Fred Desjarlais, 55, had completed his shift at Cameco Corporation's Key Lake uranium mill, 640 km north of Saskatoon, and was eager to prepare for New Year's. At7pm,hehadtwooptions: either wait for the shuttle bus, or travel on foot to the camp three kilometers away. He chose to jog. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him and saw a wolf "limping" towards him from a ditch. Describing the wolf as having "a big mouth and a big head," he later said the wolf "was taunting me, (walking) in a circle around me. I looked around real quick and thought, 'I hope he's alone."' His attempts to scare the beast away proved fruitless when it lunged at his head. He dodged that attack ("That's when I knew he meant business,"), and another one, but then the wolf bit his shoulder. As he was wearing several layers of clothing, he only suffered severe bruises. The wolf then bit him, as the Canadian Press put it, "twice in the pelvis." Man and wolf both fell to the ground and got back up. Luckily, Desjarlais seized an opportunity, leaped on the wolf's back, and put it in a headlock. "I pulled him down the way you would take down cattle --------------, Fred Desjarlais shows off his wounds after wrestling a wolf on New Years' Eve (for roping) and I dropped onto his head, pinning him there." Fortunately it didn't tum into a test of endurance- 30 or 40 seconds later, the shuttle bus passed by, and several of his co-workers chased the wolf into the bush. Cameco's Key Lake Security Officer, Kimm Barker, called Mr. Desjarlais "a remarkable man," and said the wolf"wasn't a very smart wolf because of all the people it could have picked, it chose one of the strongest." Speaking to the press while recuperating at home in Saskatoon, Mr. Desjarlais summarized his dramatic ordeal: "I don't know what came over me or how I did it. All I know is I had his head and I wasn't letting go until someone came to help me." He felt no bitterness towards the wolf: "He wasn't a young, healthy one. If he was, he wouldn't have been there. He wouldn't have done what he did. It was just an older wolf that was doing what he had to do to _survive and I just reacted, thank God, the way I did and survived it." Unprovoked wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America, with only a handful of documented instances. In those cases, the assailant is usually rabid, starving, or a wolf-dog hybrid possessing the dog's blase attitude towards humans.

The Bowater pulp and paper plant here in Thunder Bay is a major employer and major producer of revenue for the city and I hope Bowater continues its business here for many, many years and many generations to come In 2004 Bowater employs 1,084 positions, uses about 180 megawatts of electricity, grinds Boreal trees to make paper, newsprint, cardboard and pulp mostly for export to our brothers and sisters in the United States of America. At the moment Ontario and Canada are harvesting our forests faster than nature can re-grow them so we have an economy based on an unsustainable reality. With the Kyoto Protocol becoming effective in early 2005 the international community is signalling that our current energy systems are not working. I would agree. I would also suggest that our material systems are not working either. All material that surrounds us including paper from Bowater is designed for one use before going to the landfill.

I am a frequent user of the library and the services they have to offer and in all fairness their services have been pleasantly delivered in the past until I met the Supervisor of the Circulation Desk. This particular fellow is rude, arrogant and indifferent. I had a particular complaint and was referred to him being that he is- the supervisor. He happened to be standing right there and his response to my concern was "that's impossible, we are not going to do anything about it". I was taken aback by his rude response and let hirh know that I will go to his supervisor to report his attitude and his response was "go ahead, you won't be the first one anyway." about him, I am wondering if student complains just go unheard. Hello! Does anyone care? He gives Lakehead University a really bad name and as an employee representing the school, something needs to be done about his pathetic attitude.

To the writer of the "Bring back the death penalty" article (Nov. 22), I feel nothing but disgust for the way you think. There are an astonishing number of innocent people ' who have been killed for crimes they did not commit or have been sentenced to die only later to be discovered innocent. There is a reason why Canada abolished the death penalty, you know, it is because it's a disgrace to us. We are looked up to by other nations for our civil and humane way of living, unlike the U.S whose execution rate is higher than ever. Saying that "all COMPUT Monday 10th to Fri Pentium 3 128 Ram Windows 98 8 gig Hard Drive For more details come to LUSU murderers should • be eligible for the death penalty" and rehabilitation is "sissy" is not a good example of the values we share as a first world, civil country. Likewise, I'm not going to stop whining, you may have a right to your opinion, but I have a right to mine too, and I'm not going to shut up about it because you tell me too. The death penalty was abolished in Canada for a reason, and if you do not like it, I suggest you move to Texas. I'm sure you'll love it their. We Canadians have not built our reputation on showing our governments power over people or flexing our muscles, like the wonderful nation below us has. We help each other, not kill each other; because that is the kind of society we live in. People make mistakes; it doesn't mean they deserve to die for it. Sure, serial killers and dangerous offenders should never be released from prison, but killing them is not the answer. This is what makes us better than the United States. Re-instating the death penalty is not the answer to deter future crime ...

Sometimes it even seems like the planet itself is out to get us, a point reinforced by the deadly tsunami that struck Southeast Asia in late December. In fact, natural disasters have been greater mass-killers than any war yet waged or terrorist act committed. Consider the recent tsunami which left more than 150,000 dead so far and the number still nsmg. By comparison, that's more than eight times the number of people killed so far in the Iraq conflict, and forty-three times the number who died in 9/11. Tsunamis aren't the only natural disasters out there with the potential to cause a massive loss of lives. Here are a few of the threats that come from our very own planet (and one from beyond).

'I �1Q )/ Argus Editorial/Columns January 10, 2005 A word or two from the Editor . . Happy New Year All! So we are back to school and back irito the swing of things. I hope everyQDe had a relaxing break. I'm sure that for many people, upon seeing their friends for the first time after Christmas, one of the first questions asked was "What did you get?" A natural question I suppose. Now, I personally asked for nothing for Christmas. I did this as a protest against the consumerism that Christmas has become entwined with. Failing people not spending money on my behalf at Christmas I asked that the money be donated to a worthy charity so that others could enjoy Christmas and so that the money could be used to make the world a better place. Sadly, both of these requests were ignored. Why? Because the people buying presents for me felt it would be unfair ifpeople around me received gifts and I didn't ... despite the fact that I requested no gifts. Now, I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I appreciate the sentiment with which the gifts were given but for me, the . same sentiment could have been achieved with no money spent, or money spent on people that really need it. Now, I want you to think back and recall how many people may have complained about a gift they received over the holidays. Just think about that poor to begin with. They lacked for a second. How many people infrastructure so there is nothing forgot that they were with family to rebuild upon. UNICEF is or friends and that someone cared facing difficulties in its efforts enough to go get something for to provide adequate nutrition to them? (Okay, I know I am getting the regions children, because into hypocrisy and contradictory for the most part these children statements, but hear me out).

It doesn't matter And the tsunami is whether you want the stuff or just the most recent of terrible need the stuff. We show we care catastrophes. The AIDS epidemic by giving the people around us kills hundreds of thousands of stuff. A good chunk of the stuff people each month. Civil wars will probably never be used. and political strife lead to needless Now, think about the causalities. The economic disparity terrible event that occurred just of the vast majority of the world's days after Christmas. The tsunami population leads to staggering in Asia killed over 100,000 rates of death due to hunger people. Disease and the stress and inadequate health supplies. of rebuilding will inevitably So while we in Canada lead to more pain and death. It are complaining that we didn't has been suggested that part of get the right C.D. or we didn't the reason that so many people really like that particular model of died, and will continue to die, is digital camera, people around the because these countries were very world are struggling to survive. Twenty percent of the world's population consumes eight percent of the world's resources. We are part of that twenty percent. We are not doing enough to help the victims of catastrophes around the world. Sure, we are sending money and supplies to Asia now, but what about in a few months when the vast majority of the population forgets about tsunamis? I encourage people to give their support to the relief efforts now but I also encourage people to continue supporting change in the world. Do your research and find out where people are suffering in the world. Then discover how you can help make a difference.

There were some amazing bands that trekked far and wide, making their way here from all comers of the globe just to make us happy and play. The fall was kicked off with a bang, as it usually is, with lots of rock action. We saw homegrown heroes The Golden Dogs come back for a visit at the Apollo, The Illuminati with C'mon made waves, Billy and the Lost Boys showed us that girls know how to rock, and Dayglow Abortions proved they're still punks at heart. Warp 9 was jumping in October, with Planet Smashers and Staggered Crossing both putting on amazing shows. Stag X demonstrated that they remained true to their art form by going the indie route and starting their own music Iabel...but the biggest show Warp 9 has ever seen was yet to come. Billy Talent rocked th~ sox off of every sweaty kid in the mosh pit, and you could feel the intensity from wherever you were standing.

It's a Cinderella story really, but after paying their dues for nearly ten years in the underground Toronto scene, the breakout single 'Try Honesty' grabbed people's attention, and it hasn't let go since. Billy Talent were the winners of Best New Artist at the 2004 Juno Awards, forcing people to stand up and stare. The local show took place on Sunday, October I 0th and unlike very few concerts by Canadian rock bands, was sold out a few weeks before the show. An amazing feat in itself, two other Canadian bands by the names of Metric and Death From Above I 979 were lucky enough to be the opening acts on this tour. They played in front of massive crowds across Canada, and were the perfect 10, 2005 11 ~ interacting with the music. Quite the opposite from the R.E.M. show, the vibe was one of eleGtfis , energy and positivity. Many classic Hip songs were played, which appeased the crowd, yet new gems were also thrown in for good measure and variety. It was then I remembered why the Tragically Hip are one of Canada's best live bands.

Detroit City native Royce Da 59 kicked off Bling Blj9.g Thursdays at Armani's with his hip-hop edge. Having at one time worked with Eminem and Dr. Dre, Royce brought along MC's June Johnson and K Vishiss for a little help on the microphone. Even though it was a short set, the crowd was very supportive and interacted well with the rapper, who dropped a few free styles. And th~ crowd went wild. Last but certainly not least, Gob played a free show at Warp 9 on November 26th • The show was part of an anti-smoking campaign put on by the Ministry of Health. We all got to hear the Gob songs we're familiar with and the kiddies loved it. I can't even remember the last tim~ a known band played a free show.
