The music continues, beckoning, until the buzz of a power tool breaks the spell. Welcome to Cornwall School. Cornwall is the new home to some 125 students enrolled in the Departments of Music and Visual Arts. School renovations ·began in the second week in August and will continue for at least another week. The new location was made available by the same ministry access fund which supplied the education portables. According to Dr. Glen Car• ruthers, Chairman of the Music Department, · the inadequate space availal>le to the fine arts disciplines at the university caused the departments involved to "jump at the pssibility of ~e move". The school is currently on a two.year lease from the Lakehead Board of Education. Carruthers said that he felt the response to the move to be very positive. 'We are amazed at ow- good fortune", he said. James DeVuono, President of the Lakehead University Music Association echoed Carruthers' feelings but also mentioned some of the "teething problems" involved-in the move. return to Cornwall after a full" day of classes is not a pleasant thought either. Said Mel Henderson, a third· year music student, "We feel it's too much to come back and forth for practice." However, practice time will no doubt be improved wit~ the installation of six new Wanger sound-proof cubicles on the main floor of the school. The problem of transportation affects students of both disciplines. Although the school is only a ten minute drive from the university, it becomes a pain for ,students who have to go back and forth for practice time and for elec•tives. For those students who have to rely on city transit, it =:!~,!,__ _ __;_!,__ __:,_ _ _ _ __.!;==::::.:::=::, becomes more of an inconvenience as the buses only come around every forty minutes jn .the morning. De Vuono also pointed to the off-campus status as having disadvantages "1 don't know if they. wanted to put us away from the mainstream",he joked. Efforts to promote awareness of the fine arts departments in the university community are surely weakened by the move. However, students may also interpret the move as an expression of the special status of their courses which require special needs. TOP: Renovator rises to the occasion.

Even the Argus manages to make newspapei copies available. What Cornwall lacks in terms of location, it more thar, makes up for in terms of spacE and equipment. The school itself provides two floors and e basement that have been adapted· to meet the needs oJ the fine arts students. The main floor houses the administrative offices, the student lounge,· the recital hall and the practice room. Upstairs are the classrooms which provide more than adequate space for the music and visual arts departments . Downstairs is the pottery room and the saw- room to construct stretchers and for sizing boards. Coinci_ding with the move was a $150,000 Northern Fund grant that has been split between the two departments. As a result, any new equipment installed has been top of the line. This includes the compact disk player· and visual arts viewers in the library. The library itself is currently in the process of being set up, complete with a terminal that will have access to the one on campus. Despite the growing pains, students seem generally pleased with the new location. M·a ckenzie's Crew to .be Fed by Nancy Adderley It is an irony that Alexander Mackenzie himself would appreciate. Northern Stores Incorporated, formerly of the Hudson's Bay Company, wiU provide $1/4 million in food to the voyageurs involved in the Alexander Mackenzie Bicentennial Expedition. The expedition is set to take place over the next five years and will trace the route, by canoe, taken by Mackenzie in his explorations to the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Coast. Mackenzie was in the employ of the North West Company when he mad·e these voyages. Its rivalry with the Hudson's Bay Comp any coloured much of Canada's fur trade past. Northern Stores, having made the break with the Hudson's . Bay Company intends to Teassume the name of the North West Company, Mackenzie's employer. The $1/4 million pledge resulted from the National Sponsor's ·conference held September 25 at Old Fort William. Professor Jim Smithers, Expedition Leader, called the donation by Northern Stores a "substantial commitment" as it will furnish the necessary food items for all five years of the expedition. This summer, expedition participants planned a food menu that would supply them with the 5,000 calorie diet necessary to see them through the rigorous exercise of paddling the canoes. The food bas to be available on-the -run to 45 participants over 124 days. The historic diet of pemmican, partridge and berries has been replaced with GORP(Good Old Raisins and Peanuts), canned meat, and peanut butter. Aside from food sponsorship, the conference attracted a wide variety of other interests which Smithers said he hoped "will stimulate the interest that will translate into support." Not only did it showcase the student participants to possible supporters, it also gave the students a chance to see the "largeness of the project and the various interests involved." "It is sort of like eating an elephant, it is so big",he said. by the expedition will aid in establishing a historical commemorative trail on the route to the Pacific Coast. This would be the concrete legacy of the expedition. Government has been supportive. The Albertan Minis try of Culture and Multiculturalism bas committed $10,000 towards the first leg of the journey, 19881989, up the Mackenzie River. • Among the interests is that of the Alexander Mackenzie Trail Association. It hopes that the publicity generated Smithers also cites the Ontario government as being willing to show its generosity. .Lynn McLeod, our own mini- ster of Colleges and Universities has agreed to host an inter-departmental meeting of government officials to promote the project. Already the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications has put forward a $10,000 grant to assist in the making of the period costumes. Tourism and Recreation will aid in the costs of the modem materials required for the expedition. Th.e Superintendent of Curriculum from the city of London was also in attendance. He wishes to get his staff involved in the educational aspect of the project_in developing a national voyageur- curriculum to be taught in ~Canadian schools, as based on the information provided by the expedition. His staff will buy one of three canoes to be used in the expedition. Afterwards it will become a part of the educational program. Smithers hopes that even more interests will be represented as the expedition progresses. �Editorial President's Report An open letter to Lynn McLeod (Minister of Colleges & Universities) and the Right Honourable Premier David Peterson. Re: The Business of Education (or let's keep the student poor and stupid) Dear Sir/Madam: I've just received my OSAP assessment and.quite frankly, I'M LMD. You see, I just don't know where to start spending that $649 your government was so gracious to LEND ME! Perhaps it's the fact that I don't fit in to your government's neat little 3 or 4 year plan. This must be what you have in mind because after 4 years (whether I apply for assistance or not) I'm not eligible for grants. . Or maybe it's not the "grant eligibility" thing at all. You see, that doesn't really matter because the Student Awards Branch will tell me just what I need to borrow. I own a car? ... or a stereo system? ... or a camera? Or maybe my parents (if I'm "dependant") have a little nest egg they've been banking for retirement? Either I don't tell you about it or else they or I'll be forced to sell it to provide me with the necessary funds to educate myself. / The Need For Reciprocity The proposal by LUSU to share athletic facilities with Gonfederation College is a good plan 1Vhich should be followed with a lot of attentio'1. However, this plan should not be used as an excuse to avoid fixing the facilities already in existence. The:re have been a lot of complaints about the condition of the equipment in the weight room at the field house the past couple of years. It is the opinion of many students that the equipment is, in fact, quite unsafe. Coming from the portion of the population which leads one of the most haphazard of lives, this statement should not be taken lightly. The problem seems to be in the funding. The recently acquired hydraulic equipment is for the most part considered useless, even though quite a bit of LUSU money was used in this purchase. In other words, maybe this money could be directed at improving the materials which already exist. The answer to this for LUSU is reciprocity. This would mean that LU students could use the equipment at the coJlege at no charge and the college students could use ours. (Refer to story on page six.) Theref9re, we would have use of their indoor track and weight room etc. while they will use our swimming facilities. There is a problem, according to the manager of the college fitness centre, Larry Vezina, that there would not be enough room for the influx of LU students. Norm LaVoie, the director of Phys Ed and Athletics at LU states similar problems with booking space, etc. However, this shpuld not be too much of a problem. Theoretically, if reciprocity does happan, the number of people who use the facilities will not go up. Therefore, the same number of people should be using the facilities at the same time; the difference would be that in each location there will be a mixture of LU and Con College students. . Reciprocity is an issue which will take a while until it is resolved. Each institution will have to go through 1 a lengthy review and decision process and have to work out an agreement satisfactory to both sides. All this will take time. In the meantime, the Physical Education and Athletic department should take a look at the facilities and ,spend some money on improving the equipment. Maybe . LUSU can give some help both time-wise and financially to this end. As I mentioned before, reciprocity should not replace improvement. With a little time and effort, reciprocity will work. The important thing for LUSU and LU to keep in mind is that reciprocity should be an end in itself, not as a means of avoiding repairs on our own equipment.

Tell me something, which of these "openings" will be the "official" one? And maybe, Mr. Peterson, it's the fact that you and your cabinet were also gracious in "granting" Northern Ontario with your Northern Relocation Program.

They do not occur in isolated pockets somewhere far away. Even here in Thunder Bay, we are part of the global problems (and some would say we are also part of the solution). The gases released from our cars contribute to the Greenhouse Effect and deplete the ozone layer as much as the cars in Toronto, but it's easier to ignore the problem here because we rarely find ourselves stuck in a cloud of exhaust during a traffic jam. Not only is it difficult to relate our private lives to global environmental issues, but it is even more dificult for us to relate our lives here, in the land of never ending autumn rains, to Third World problems and issues, such as poverty, flooding, rain forest deforestation, ad infinitum. And yet, our lives are intricately connected with Third World development and the global environment. Our demand for exotic woods, coffee and cheap hamburgers is proportionate share of the world's natural resources. In fact, we use such a large proportion of the resources that the earth is already too small to sustain its human population, if everyone were to live a lifestyle equivalent to ours in Thunder Bay. These resources that we consume form a direct link between us and the developing countries. es_ contributing, in part, to the deforestation of tropical rain forests (you'll hear more about this in a later article). Hard as it may be for us to realize, the choices we make in our daily lives are reflected in the development of the Third World. In the fall of 1983,The United Nations established the World Commission on Environment and Development to examine and define the links between economics, development and the environment. After four intensive years of world-wide hearings, with input from thousands of people (scientists, research institute staff, experts, senior government officials and the average guy off the street or out of the jungle), the findings of this remarkable commission were published in the book "Our Common Future". The commission (also referred to as the Brundtland Commission after chairman, Gro Brundtland, Norway's female Prime Minister) stated in an incredibly straight-forward m~nner that we must find a way to live and to develop our global resources in a fashion which "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ·generations to meet their own needs." Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? This concept of living without jeopaTdizing future generations. was termed "sustainable development" by the Brundtland Commission. The concept of sustainable development is also a global concept. We must meet the basic needs of life for all people now and in the future (if that isn't global, then I don't know what is). The second point that the commission emphasizes is that the earth has finite resources, something else which we tend to ignore. We no longer live in an age where we can jump in a ship a~d sail off the edge of the known world and find ourselves in a pristine, resource wealthy environment, with which to replenish our flagging resources back home. The commission says that we must continue to develop and grow, but there must be a more equitable distribution of resources. We, in the in• dustrialized world, use a dis- Positive Action: The Brundtland Report states that "sustainable global development requires that those who are the most affluent adopt lifestyles within the planet's ecological means." This implies that we must become intelligent, discriminating consumers. We must consider the impact a purchase will have, not only on our own pocketbook, but more importantly on our global environment. Establishing this connection is rather complicated because it means that we must look beyond the product on the shelf to its origin, but it is worth the effort.

At the present time, the recycling program only accepts newsprint (and the univert1ity disposes mainly of fine paper), but I'm sure that a considerable proportion of newsprint is also disposed of.

Saradhi Puttagunta's critique on the LUSU fall movie line-up, I feel I must let the student body know that this reporter has failed badly in his duties. First of all, "Good Morning Vietnam" was shown as part of LUSU's Orientation schedule. Because this schedule was filling up quite quickly, we had to show it on a week night. "As darkness descended on the UC Theatre last Wednesday, "Good Morning Vietnam" started playing to a huge crowd of ... oh, about thirty people." Not quite. Seventythree students and three nonstudents attended the first showing. I'll admit that's not a huge crowd, but I just wanted to get the facts straight. By the way, the second night's showing was to 124 students and 6 non-students. -Still not terrific, but we tried. Second: ''Why the change to weekday nights?" Who said we did!

Randy said that he has talked to students about the idea and that "a lot of people are interested." At present, reduced rates are available for LU or ConCollege students using each other's facilities. However, there is a concern that LU should offer a wider choice and better quality of fitness facilities, so that students do not have to buy memberships elsewhere. be lacking at LU is art adequate weight room. Yozipovic, who is also a member of the Athletic Advisory Board, called weight room conditions "terrible'', citing a lack of space, old and sometimes broken equipment and unsafe conditions. Yozipovic said that money spent on hydraulic machines in 1987 (contributed by LUSU) should have been used to upgrade the old equipment. Yozipovic knows of many students who prefer to go to other gyms in the city, but students who cannot afford memberships elsewhere have no place else to go. ''Where would you go? They pay for it," he added. , The complaints against the .weight room are numerous: bench posts that are too close, lack of bars and plates, improper layout of plate holders, insufficient greasing of equipment, cluttered conditions, broken machines, thin and frayed benches. These conditions are not very conducive to weight training, as student Craig Hachey explained, "The atmosphere really helps you work out and affects your intensity - .(at LU) it's a tough environment to work out in." Hachey is prepared to buy a membership elsewhere. Roy Christensen, a fulltime student, is also looking to join a different gym. As Christensen pointed out, "It's n·o t a commercial type of equipment. You won't see in any commercial gym the kind of stuff they have here - this stuff isn't safe. The amount of use this gym gets, I think it warrants a lot more room." As for reciprocity, he felt it would be a "compromise" to getting better in-house facilities. Melissa Coates, a first year student, echoed the same concerns and said that LU's weight room is "one of the worst gyms there is." Sh~ also criticized the hydraulic gym as being "useless", saying that the money should have been spent on the major bodybuilding equipment rather than let its condition worsen. With reciprocity, Coates believes the college "would get all the business." David Newman and Dwight Winters were not impressed by the quality of LU's weight room either. They were unhappy with the "shoddy condition" of equipment and the new hydraulic machines that sit unused. Both agreed that reciprocity would be beneficial, giving LU students access to the college bubble, while college students can use LU's pool and basketball court. As Winters commented, it would be a "trade-off." Roxanne Kyle, a first year phys ed student, said that she was under the impression that LU and ConCollege already shared their facilities. Now she has chosen to buy a college membership, in order to use the greater variety of weights, the Nautilus room and the bubble. She supports the idea of reciprocity. Bill Keeler agreed that some of the weight room's equipment is outdated. The universal machine was broken for over four months this past summer and, due to its age, it was difficult to repair. Concerning the complaints about cramped quarters, Keeler said that LU's weight room is bigger than those at other universities he has seen. Keeler stated that the fieldhouse is looking to expand, but there is only so much money to go around. They are planning to add more free weights and there is a "possibility" of some new equipment. "An expansion is definitely something that's going to have to be looked at sooner or later," commented Keeler. The ideal solution, according to Norm LaVoie, would be a whole new building complete with an indoor track and arena, but as LaVoie said, "We're doing everything we can right now." Reciprocity would allow students to use the combined resources of LU and ConCollege: Olympic-size pool, gymnasium, indoor track and tennis courts, squash courts, Nautilus machines and weight rooms. Any plan to implement reciprocity would first have to deal with several problems. Larry Vezina, manager of the college fitness centre, said that the biggest problem would be the availability of space. His facilities, aside from student and faculty use, must accommodate another 2000 members in the community. Also, any agreement to share resources with LU would have to be "mutually beneficial" but Vezina added that reciprocity may become a reality in different areas. Norm LaVoie, director of phys ed and athletics at LU, stated that reciprocity would seem to be a "natural thing" between the two schools, noting that the fieldhouse is already "stretched to capacity." Seeing as how LaVoie and other personnel are new to their positions, there has not been any opportunity to consider the idea. Bill Keeler, supervisor of athletic facilities at LU, said that LU's needs would first have to be determined and program scheduling considered before accommodating other students. Presently, the fieldhouse is booked solid with varsity sports, clubs, phys ed classes intramurals, local groups .and highschools, ......:... as well as public members. Keeler also pointed out that a special committee would have to be set-up to budget for both facilities. ::.... ~Does he support --.. -=-~-~ reciprocity? "I think anything like that would be beneficial if it's feasible," he responded. Right now, the idea is sitting at the lower levels of dis• cussion between student councillors of LU and ConCollege.

Attention Foresters: "A Job From Hell" by Tim Stanl.ey (ISIS:The Gazette) If the terms "skreef', "duff' and ''highbalJ" ring a bell with you then are probably one of the growingnumber·· ofstudents who call treeplanting their summer job. Tree planting, though, is far more than just a summer job, as those who have experienced it will surely attest. The tree-planting industry in Canada relies extensively on university students to fill its planter and foreman positions. At a glance, the job seems well sui~d for students considering the start of the planting season coincides with the end of spring exams. The season usually lasts about 10 weeks, giving the planter a long summer break before classes resume. And these is a real potential for huge financial earnings. But planting is a risky venture in an unpredictable industry that sees as many horror stories as success stories. Most tree planting in Canada occurs in British Columbia and Northern Ontario. Under provincial reforestation laws, forestry-product companies must replant the areas of wood~ land that they cut within a certain time period. These companies generally contract to reforestation outfits to do the planting from them. Paying a specified price per tree planted. The contracts often run over a $100,000 and reforestation companies bid competitively to get them. Most planters in Ontario end up receiving from seven to 11 cents per tree depending on a variety of factors, including the species of tree and the type of land being planted. Planters in B.C. are usually paid more per tree because of the more rugged, mountainous terrain. The actual act of planting a tree into soil is a fairly simple task. The difficulty lies in the hundreds of job-related hazards that can confront the planter, making the process a slow and even brutal affair. On any given day the planter might be forced to cope with pleas3lltries like knee-deep swamp mud, ravenous blackflies or mosquitoes, extreme heat or cold, rain or snow, excruciating boredom, defective tools and, worst of all, a wet sleeping bag. The obvious question that confronts all planters at one time or another is "why am I doing this job from hell?" The general response from most planters centers around the truly unique and invaluable rewards and lessons that can be reaped from the ordeal. The main reason planting continues to attract students is definitely the money, but the intangible benefits should not be discounted. If trees planting is nothing else, it is an excellent exercise in self-actualization.

Health care conditions in the north were labelled as ''Third World" by a recent NDP task force studying the subject. In a move to play a greater role as a centre for training health care workers, Lakehead University has embarked on a joint venture with McMaster University of Hamilton to develop postgraduate degrees in occupational therapy and physical therapy., A number of students enrolled in occupational therapy or physical therapy at McM aster would come to Lakehead for one term of instruction in theory, as well as complete a clinical placement in a health care institution in Northwestern Ontario. Implementation of the programs is expected to be in 1990/91. The degree programs are the result of a -merger between Mohawk College's diploma courses in occupational therapy and physical therapy and McMaster's Bachelor of Health Sciences degree and would be based in McMaster's Faculty of Health Sciences. At first, Lakehead expects to accommodate thirty students per term and that number would increase as the programs grow in demand. Geoffrey Weller, V.P. Academics, hopes that when the programs are fully running, a new building might be built to house the necessary facilities. Lakehead Pre,s ident Bob Rosehart said that these programs are being "heralded as an example of models that might be used to other healthrelated fields." He added that medicine might be one.' • The fields of occupational and physical therapy have been singled out by the medical community as in need of expansion. A 1985 report by the Ontario Ministry of Health showed a manpower shortage in the two professions, especially in the north where the vacancy rate was cited as 42.2% and growing. Employment opportunities in both fields are increasing in Canada and the United States. Funding for the degree programs has yet to be resolved, but the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities has already pledged its support. Regarding a future postgraduate medical program for LU, both Rosehart and Weller agreed that the possibilities are worth looking into., but such a McMASTER UNIVERSITY ' IN COOPERATION WITH ~ • /_887-t9S~. . program would be a "long way down the road."

The new course is the result of a Ministry of Colleges and Universities directive that all university programs must lead to a degree. Hence, an internal review of all undergraduate programs at LU was conducted and the diploma in Library Technology was singled out for changes. It was decided to create a three year degree program as part o( LU's "Five Year Plan". This program is the first of its kind in Ontario and one of two in Canada. Concordia University in Montreal offers a similar course. When the seven core library and information studies courses are combined with a Bachelor of Arts background, graduates are qualified to work in many types of libraries. For example, electives in History would qualify a graduate to work in the Old Fort William archives.

Saradhi Puttagunta, a contributing writer to the Argus, visited the Mandapam refugee camp • in southern India to interview Tamil refugees. The following is Saradhi's report on the war in Sri Lanka. P. Saradhi Puttagunta Subramanian Saraswathi is staying in a refugee camp at Mandapam, a small town which is about one hour by train out of Rameswaram, India. With tears in her eyes, she describes how the Sinhalese air force bombed her native city ofJaffna, capital of the Sri Lankan Northern province. Her story is repeated by Shiva Kumar, a worker in a Jaffna shop, who talks of property being destroyed by the bombings. Saraswathi also talks of tanks coming and firing into the villages. "The Sinhalese soldiers have no courage to face the people," she said. It was incidents like these that forced her and some 150,000 other Tamils to flee from the war in Sri Lanka. The Mandapam Transit Camp was set up in 1983 when •the escalation of the war caused an exodus of Tamils from the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka, where they make up the majority of the popula. tion. They came across the Pamban Channel in private boats and were placed at Mandapam and other branch camps. To understand why they are here, one must look at the history of the war. Historical Background The Sinhalese-speaking Bud• dhists, who dominate Sri Lanka, have been 'in conflict with the minority Tamilspeaking Hindus long before the war began. The Tamil kings founded the ancient capital of Anuradhapura in the third century B.C. In 1621, the Portuguese captured tlte Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna and hung the Tamil -King Sankili. Eventually the island passed into the hands of the Dutch and then the_ British. After independence in February of 1948, the first Prime Minister, D.S. Senanayake, appealed to the Tamils to accept the new Soulbury Constitution and declared on behalf of the Sinhalese: "I give the minority communities the sincere assurance that no harm need you fear at our hand in Sri Lanka."* The Tamils accepted this promise only to have the tables turned on them. Tamils who worked on plantations· were stripped of their citizenship in 1948 and then disenfranchised in 1949 by the new Sinhala government. This was foJlowed by enforced regulations r'equiring proof of citizenship in 9rder to obtain employment in the public and private sectors, travel documents, licences and for participating in business OJ other .·Page·8-A'Fgus--'13' October;-1988 activities.

The government provided clothing, food, sanitation, shelter, water, and _electricity. To keep them from getting bored and possibly causing trouble, some refugees were given training in tailoring, cycle mechanics, and radio/ TV mechanics. This is not without cost to the Indian government. Maintaining the camp costs approximately 3 lakhs (about $30,000 Canadian) every fortnight. . Going Back Home As of August 18, the Indian government sent the few r~maining refugees back to Sri Lanka. The refugees at Mandapam said they were convinced that normalcy had returned to their country and they have accepted going back. But is it reaUy 'business as usual'in Sri Lanka? According to Indian news sources, Jaffna seems peaceful but the Tigers are still a powerful influence there. LTTE leaders still collect funds from local shopkeepers and businessmen and also decide prices for food articles. They also force young people to join their ranks. Just last August in J affna, four youths who refused to join the L'ITE were kidnapped and slain. A military barrack in Sri Lanka The LTTE create chaos through terror. In August, they assassinated over a dozen local Tamils suspected of being IPKF informers. Citizens have been warned that they will be killed if they even wave at the IPKF columns. In the Kalawanchchikudi area, a labourer was abducted beca use he refused to give refuge to one of the Tiger extremists. His bullet-riddled body was found the next day.** • At this rate, people .will be too terrified to go to the polls come election day at the end of the year. 1 As for the Tamils of Sri Lanka, they face an uncertain future. They face the wrath and discrimination of the Sinhalese in the south. Yet the militant groups who claim to represent them are terrorizing them with racketeering and extortion. With the inevitable. withdraw of the IPKF, there is no certainty as to which way events will tum. The Tamils have faced centuries of oppression; they will probably face even more in the years to come. *"The Hindu", Sept. 2, 1988. ** Prabhu Chalwa and S.H. Venkatramani.

Their music has spanned an entire generation. They were first heard 21 years ago when 'Days of Future Passed' was released. Songs such as 'Tuesday Afternoon' and 'Nights in White Satin' have become classics. By 1974, they were firmly established as a major musical power and so far, fifty million of their albums have been sold worldwide. It was with these premises in mind that I listened to their most recent offering - 'Sur La Mer'. It is by no means a poor album, at _times one can hear flashes of their former glory. However, one has to ask if the success of this album is just due to the momentum or the high quality of the work. The first song, 'I Know You're Out There Somewhere' is a fine song - it has a good ·sound and the lyrics are will though out, Justin Hayword's voice sounds as clear as it was in 1967 and the group's usage of synthesizers is super. · The entire album continues on in this manner without ever really straying off on a tangent. The album is extremely safe in that no one should really hate it but no one should really love it.

It's the hardest work I've ever done and it showed me what I'm capable of, mentally and physically," said Fraser Hore, who planted in. B.C. • Tree planting becomes a competition · among the planters. Sometimes putting in more trees than the rest of your crew becomes as important to you as the money you're earning. As a result, comparisons of good and bad planters will surface. This is a complicated issue. Due to the planter's reliance on quality planting land, efficient tree supply, adequate tools and a host of other factors beyond his or her control, it is often inappropriate to compare one planter to another in terms of volume of trees planted per day. The more useful question would be "what are the key qualities that good planters must possess?" Invariably, planters cite mental attitude and ability to concentrate above any other qualities that separate the good planters (highballers) from the rest. "It's easy to get distracted and let your mind wander in~ stead of focusing on the job at hand. You body can handle the physical strain but you have to push yourself mentally if you really want to make it worth your while," said Iain MacKinnon, a veteran tree planter. Hore simply puts it, "you must be tolerant of the bugs and adverse conditions and concentrate on planting trees." After a while most planters will tell you that planting is about 90 per cent mental. The problem many planters encounter is they've never has any experience that can adequately prepare them for that type of work. It's not unusual for companies to lose more than half of their planters before the contractis completed. "If you let the bugs bother you then you are defeating yourself. Accept the job for what it is, which is hell," laughs Swales. Tree planting companies will never be accused of discrimination. Some companies will take anyone crazy enough to spend two months in the bush. Women have taken to planting at increasing rates and are beginningto appear in executive and supervisory roles. Martha Turner, a second• year planter in Ontario, com• mented on particular disadvantages the female planter might face. ''Men and women are definitely equally competent in getting high numbers and good quality.

Ironically, in a discipline coined "the gentle way," it is Sandra Greaves' aggressiveness and strength that prevail. The Japanese art of judo combines throws, holddowns, locks, and chokes to score points in competition. This twenty-five year old athlete made her debut at the Thunder Bay Budokan Judo Club, which at the time met at the Confederation College Fitness Centre. Her sister Susan Oksanen introduced her to the sport at the age of thirteen. "I prefer judo because it's the actual application of the martial arts," Greaves stated to explain her fascination with judo. "In other styles, if techniques are actually applied, they can be fatal. The lack of fatality allows someone to throw. The philosophy of mutual welfare and benefit is appealing," she concluded. by Janet Fuchek ''.A single false move loses l l f Greaves continued her training under Coach Bill Doherty for several years. After graduating from grade 12 at Hammorskjold High School, she moved to B.C. to work with the navy. Following a one-year layoff frdm the sport,·her judo fever struck again. She made a comeback and fought forB.C. , winning the nationals. Greaves left the West Coast for Toronto, where she had a contract with the government. She has been a member of the Ontario team ever since. To facilitate her program, she relocated in Montreal for a two-year stint at the Training Centre. Last season this talented fighter moved to Ottawa, a more suitable location for a female Olympic judoka. . "Ottawa has the largest nucleus ·o f women in , the sport," she reported. "The women's national coach, Tina Takahashi, also lives there." "It's hard to find a coach with a genuine interest in women that's not secondary," she continued. "It's good to work for someone with that commitment." In 1980 Greaves earned her black belt rank before a grading board in Toronto. She received her third dan in January 1988 on the basis of her tournament results and ability. Winning the Pan-Am's in Indianapolis last year and a Bronze at an Austrian meet this summer were highlights awares for armlocks, which have been her downfall in the last three competitions.

There's "A Single False Move Loses the Game" �( . Lady Nor'Westers Crowned Voll_ e yball Cham by Ron Murphy The Lakehead University Lady Nor'Westers flattened the Vermillion College Ironwomen to chip away, in a real nailbiter, at the Northland College Lumberjills. . On Saturday, October 8th, the Sanders Fieldhouse was electric with the prospect of atournament win for LU. That was something that had never been done before the hosting of the Nor'Wester Thanksgiving Invitational. The previous evening's action had seen the LU Nor'Westers defeat the Vermillion Ironwomen three games straight, only suffer a loss toNorth land. This occurred after they went the full five games of the match. Vermillion was unsu,ccessful in their second crack at Lakehead the following day in the semi-final, losing three straight again. It was the last. game of the final match and the score was tied at 10 each for the Nor'Westers and Lumberjills of Minnesota. The game had looked like an easy win for LU when Deanne Geisler, a veteran of last year's -squad, stepped to the line to lead off for seven quick points. Northland had used up both time outs but were able to come from behind to take the lead. After four rotations, the visiting team made it ten over nine. Coach Claude Lapre used up his two time outs in giving final advice to the LU squad. As a result, they were able to settle down for some head-tohead combat. To tie it at 10 all, Corinne Kollman was to be stopped at one point when hers and Geisler's serves were turned over by two in a row over-the-centre infractions by LU. Sian Williams, a two-year veteran of Carleton's varsity team, was able to trade points with the Lumberjills, bu Kelly Williams was stopped to make it 11 each. Robyn Plett, later to be announced as the tourney's "Most Valuable Player," stepped to the line to deliver the serves that the Nor'Westers would convert to a two-point lead. Northland retaliated with a point of their own to push their score to within one for a score of 13 over 12. Leslie Ballan, on the firing line, enabled Lakehead to make the final two points for the kill. After an outstanding performance, it was appropriate that Sian Williams rifled that last spike. The final score was 15 over 12 in favour of the Nor'- e Westers for match and tour- cl u::~~.._.,.,....._..,.. nament championship - § history in the making. ,::::i [Stay tuned.

Fourteen countries will be represented at this event, hosted by the Fort William and Thunder Bay Figure Skating Clubs, acting on behalf of the Canadian Figure Skating Association. Those countries include: the United States, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, France, East and West Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, and Poland. In total, there will be 66 competitors in four fields: men's, women's, pair, and darice categories. Volunteers from the two local clubs, plus strong community involvement and regional support, ensure that this event will be enjoyable and extremely successful. The Clubs also draw on active participation from some 20 organizations throughout Northwestern Ontario. Amongst these, the Thunder Bay Multicultural Associal tion and the March of Dimes have expressed interest in helping. To date, 260 volunteers have signed up; however, .more are needed. A competition of this size and complexity must rely heavily on their invaluable volunteers. "People enjoy being involved in the community, especially in an event like this. The rewards from the involvement include gaining insight, experience and friendship. These people are our largest resource," says Sophie Kirk, Volunteers Chairman. .. .. .. ,. ., • .,..p, .... -- ... - -- · -- There are a variety of areas that might interest volunteers, such as: carpentry, electrical, mall promotions, transportation, catering, boutique, decorating, communications, office work, and the registration desk. According to·committee officials, the competition will not only be a pleasant experience for athletes but for the spectators as well. Richard Hill, Chairperson of Security, said that his team of 30 security personnel will be "quietly" in force. ' This volunteer staff is mostly comprised of students from the Law and Security courses at Confederation College who already have a keen sense of Jaw enforcement. To keep the atmosphere relaxed, security personnel will wear a coded I.D. tag rather than a uniform. Sun Life Skate Canada International representatives held their final preparation meeting at the Valhalla Inn recently. Thirty-five were in attendance, including CFSA members, Steering Commit'tee representatives, co-ordinators, and chairpersons of the event. • But what will the lucky ticket holders view? They will see an exciting, breth-taking international figure skating competition. They will see the well-planned and organized aspects of this prestiguous event implemented. They will be truly impressed claim organizers of this competition. The Sun Life Skate Canada International is just around the corner. With the 1988 Olympic and World Champions retired, the way is paved for a new dynasty to emerge. Those future champions will compete on this stage October 25-30 .

Did you attend the LUBA Halloween Bash? If you did, I'm certain you had a great time. Everyone who attended put in a huge effort on all of their costumes. There were Drag Queens, Mice, Cats, Ghosts and Goblins. Also attending were MacTonites, Clowns and Vampires. To ward off some of these Vampires was Dr. Strange, the legendary comic strip character oflong ago who did battle with the evil blood.suckers. One of the outstanding clowns had a bit of trouble sitting down and often falling down and not being able to get back up . These falls were made somewhat soft by the amount of balloons that provided a vast amount of padding. The costume winners that evening included Robo-Cop in first place, the Tin Man in REGISTER FOR THESE SESSIONS BY CONTACTING THE COUNSELLING & DAREER CENTRE ROOM:UC1002 second and in a noble third place was the Mouse Trap. The prizes for these excellent costumes were provided by Labatt's Brewery and I'm certain everyone appreciated their generosity. . I was happy to see that a lot of people were resonsible enough to order a cab after they had been consuming alcohol. Others left the responsibility of driving up to their designated drivers. Great tunes provided by Thunder Bay's own HEB 160 added to the rowdy atmosphere. The crowd was enthusiastic and showed their appreciation by packing the dance floor. In between sets, party sound was provided. A few of these songs slowed things down for those who just wanted to get close. A big thanks goes out to all of those people who volunteered their time to make this event extra special.

Puttagunta Over 300 students braved rain and slush-filled streets to march from Victoriaville to Mini-Queen's Park last Monday. As part of a province-wide demonstration, students from Lakehead University, Confederation College, and local high schools were protesting underfunding and deregulation of tuition fees. Lorri Santa, Lakehead University Student Union VP External, explained that deregulation means colleges and universities can set tuition fees at their own rates. Currently, such institutions have to stay within 13% of what the government requires. Should deregulation occur, students may end up paying up to 3,000 a year in order to go to university. That would mean a 100% increase. The students want to suppress the idea of deregulation before it becomes policy. Santa said the students were also demonstrating in protest of underfunding, which has led to depletion of library resources, insuffici~nt university research and development funding, shortage of professors and a lack of required classroom space. the students that deregulation would be the end of a publicly funded system in Ontario in copying the American system. Such measures would hurt northern universities' attempts to balance the equality of opportunity. Six percent of the northern Ontario population has a university degree as compared to 9% in the rest of the province. In his concluding statements, Dr. Rosehart said: ".. .look at other countries we photo by Duncan try to compete with- Finland, Students march through city streets proclaiming the evils of Sweden, Japan and Germanyunderfunding. they h~ve almost zero tuition Escorted by police, the fees ..." Later, the students students marched down Arthur in education, asked: "When is Street wearing white LUSU this going to happen -in the marched part-way around the caps, carrying signs bearing year 3000?" office-and tried to get in but Dr. the messages ;Ne're the fuDr. E.R.

When interviewed later, Work student who, referring believe in !" to Premier David Peterson's Lakehead' University some of the students said they campaign promise for quality President Bob Rosehart told were not sure if they could " return to university if deregulation became policy. They said that they didn't think OSAP would cover the losses. Hendrik Lavertu claimed that , on a committee rep9rting to the Ontario Education Minister, 16outof19universi• ties voted for deregulation. When he contacted the Ontario Minister of Colleges and Universities, Lyn McLeod, it took him six months to get an appointment. He claims that even when he did get -to talk with her, she didn't accept responsibility for these issues. She also did not state what she intended to do about deregulation. Although deregulation is only in the proposal stage, the students want to act before it becomes policy in which case it coµld seriously hurt secondary education and the student body. As Lavertu stated," Lyn McLeod is listening to the universities down South and not to the people in her constituency. n The students are afraid of the devastating results that deregulation threatens. Harassment Abounds by George Krebs Educating the university community in dealing with sexual harassment does not contribute to the problem of harassment, but rather will bring forward the victims and help them to deal with the situation, according to Marilyn MacKenzie. MacKenzie, conducting a workshop on personal harassment at Lakehead University, said that administrators should not be "ashamed or humiliated" by the presence of a campus policy to deal with complaints of harassment. "It's not going to cause people to sexually harass, but it's simply going to give them (administration) a way of handling the situations that are out there," said MacKenzie, an Investigation Officer for Sexual Harassment Policy at the University of Manitoba. Her position, created in July of 1985, was the first of its kind. She had previously worked in Child Welfare and taught social work. MacKenzie indicat:ed that sexual harassment is quite prevalent, citing statistics showing that 50-90% of women in the workplace have been victims. In universities, a figure of 20-30% has been traditionally cited, but this only represents female students. MacKenzie conducted a survey of her own at U of Manitoba revealing a higher percentage of harassment victims that included complaints from faculty and support staff workers. MacKenzie's survey mailed out 1783 questionnaires and received 1208 replies, or a 68% response rate. Follow-ups were done to stress the importance ofthe survey and receive maximum input. MacKenzie said there is a theory behin~ the harassment of females on campus, explaining that female students in particular are a vulnerable group. Sexual harassment is usually committed by a person of authority and has forced students to change courses and alter their programs and futures to avoid the harasser. ''We're finding that more and more people are altering their life due to this kind of behaviour," said MacKenzie. "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." When asked about the number of sexual harassment complaints on the LU campus, Mackenzie could not give a specific figure but commented, "I know they're getting inquiries as we speak." Myrna Holman, Human Resources Officer at LU, said Sexual harassment complaints are occurring-"as we speak," said Marilyn MacKenzie (seated far right). 1 photo by Kristen DelZot "Power is the key component in sexual harassment cases." into rape," said MacKenzie. She also dismissed as . "garbage" the old excuses used to explain sexual harassment• 'boys will be boys' or 'men can't control their sexual urges.' "It's not women who are overreacting... we're not frigid, rigid women who don't have any sense of humour. We are people." LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PERSONAL HARASSMENT POLICY The Ontario Human Rights Code of 1981 defines harassment as a "course of comments or conduct consistthat no statistics are available ing of wol"ds or actions that concerning the prevalence of disparage or humiliate a persexual harassment on the LU son" and prohibits harassment campus because no records are on the basis of race, ancestry, kept.

Lakehead had the highest parficipation rate ofany University in On ario, an encouraging sign. Special thanks to Dr. Rosehart and Dr. Zimmermann ho support was most appreciated. And a round of applause for Lorri Santa an er hard working External Committee, without who the march would not hav en the success that is was. Congratulations. Many people said previous to the march, "What's the point?" "What will mar hing accomplish?" The point is that _without media attention we are ignored. The Ontario Federation of Students hammers away constantly at the govern ent on student issues and on behalf of individuals. Two weeks ago there was obby Session at Queen's Park. OFS representatives met with about 70 MPP's, o n individual basis from all three political parties. Yet during the three days o eetings not one question was asked in question period about student concerns. t took the spotlight of the media, focused on us becuase of the march, to have ou oncerns voiced in the legislature. COMPUTERS: INSTRUMENtS OF SATAN Many moons ago, in the age of iron swords and men, evil was prevelent. But then came the Reformation (not to mention Oral Roberts) and the evil was supressed. But we have now passed into a new and darker age: the age of the computer. For more than a decade now, computers have slowly and quietly found their way into our homes and our workplaces. Bit by bit (pardon the pun) they have infiltrated, passi_n g themselves as "friendly" and "fruitful". They have found a niche in society, fooling us with their passive nature. But let me tell you, they are passive no more! The computer revolution has started! Even in the Argus, files haved fouled up, disk drives have been degenerating and many a temper has flared. This is common all across the university. It seems that many people within ten feet of a computer hates them with a passion. A 'virus' in the system is not helping things much. Something is wrong with the computer population. How is Satan connected, you may ask? Well, the connotations·of "Apple" computers are obvious. And is it a coincidence that "IBM" also stands for InterBallis~ic Missile, another instrument of Satan? What about the new computers in the library. Could this be a sign of the growing evil? Another interesting phenomenon is people's irrational fear of computers (these are the people who have never yet used a computer and therefore cannot have any idea of the horror ahead of them). Com- ' puters don't bite; they may give you a shot of electricity through your body, bi:t they don't bite (again, pardon the pun). It must be some instinctive sense the person has that tells them to stay away from it. It is the evil within! What we accomplished was a firm statement from the government that we wil ot have a deregulation of tuition. Nevertheless, we still son't have a committ ent that tuition will not be raised. We must not let up the pressure. So how is LUSU doing these days? If you want to find out get off your *** an ome to a meeting.

The writer has the opinion that daycare and a double income are new concepts. He talks about the years before WWII and how no daycare was needed then, and how people were able to get by on one income. I don't know if the writer knows anyone who lived through those years, but I, being born, raised and educated in Europe, have a family who even served in WWI and who lived with a family •and children through the years before WWII. Those glorious_ years of soupkitchens, begging for some potatoes and having to trade your only winter coat for some cabbage to feed your children! I agree with the writer that we didn't need daycare then, simply because everybody was out of work, and money wasn't worth anything. He mentions that there were no daycare centres over 20 years ago and that families lasted a long time on one salary. Those years of the late fifties and early sixties have gone sown in history as the most prosperous of the 20th century. He ·moves on to ask the readers if" all of a sudden two incomes are needed. I wonder if this writer ever does grocery shopping? Prices in the stores are rising much faster than our salaries, and did he ever check out how much, for instance, children's clothing costs? On top of that, most people pay between $400 to $600 rent/mortgage a month. Does he not know how many men are laid off in the winter time, when heat, gas and hydrobills are 3 or 4 times as high as during other months? Does he know how many women are working to 'put their husbands through school' by working full-time while they also have children? Daycare is not a new concept. It is at least 25 to 30 years old and many studies have been done. Children are looked after by peo~le who are trained to do so. Children like to be with children, and learn from each other. Of course, there are goo.d and bad daycare centres, good and bad baby sitters and I agree that the best and most effective way of passing on your own values to your cliildren is to be with them all the time. I am sure that most parents would like it to be that way, but unfortunately that is not possible in many cases. The government could look into lengthening maternity leaves from 17 weeks to 1 or 2 years, for instance, which is done in other countries, that way a child would be with her/his parents for at least the first few years of her/his life, or by controlling the prices of the "first needs" and taxes, so that a second income would be a luxury, which it isn't in most cases. And then last night, at 3:30am while I was comforting my 8 month year old, I tried to remember how many hours during the night I have spent with her in the last few months. I am sure that 10 hours of sleep for a child is an unfulfilled wish for many parents. Finally, the writer wonders what the answer is, and "if we should move into the brave new world of daycare". I propose he, instead of using old cliches of 10 years ago, move into the brave new world of reality because it is my strong opinion that children are much, much better off than during the years before WWII. Unfortunately, it will never be ideal, but nowadays most families have not more than 2 or 3 children, and pare!}ts are able to give a lot more attention, than when families consisted of 6 or more children, which was normal some 30 to 50 years ago. Now, they are well cared for, well fed, well dressed and much loved. How about giving us some credit for trying so hard to give the best to our little ones, which every good parent wants for her/his child!

To LUBA Executive: Since when has the Bora Laskin building not been part of Lakehead University? Who have the education students been paying their tuition to? (Answer; Lakehead University). Don't you think its about time Lakehead University started including all students in social activities. Take for example the Hallowe'en Howl. No tickets were available to the Education Building and they were sold out on the first day of distribution. How does ·something like this happen? Where were the posters advertising the event? Education students are being blatantly ignored with regards to this matter. How are the education students supposed to attend such functions without knowledge of them? Please do something to rectify this situation before the Terminator Bash. Stop discriminating against educa- tion students NOW! Sincerely, Unable to Attend. STAiRGLIDES OF CONCERN To the Editor: In recent years Lakehead University has begun to take more notice of students who have a disability·on the campus. Last year saw the installment of four new stairglides. One is located in the Education Building, one in the Nursing Building, one in the Braun Building and the last and most important, in the Agora connecting the tunnel, the bookstore, the Agora, the pub and finally the Aesthstics Lounge. The latter stairglide is the one which this article is about. When the stairgJide is in use a flashing light and an al(Um accompanies its movement up or down the stairweJJ to provide for the safety of other ambulatory students. When the_stairglide is in motion, students are requested to use the other stairwells for their 'own safety. At present, there are very many studentys who do not heed this warning. Again I would lide to ask students to PLEASE MOVE!

You feel fatigue clouding up your concentration and so you reach out for ... COFFEE! Java. Cafe. Whatever you call it, it is simply irresistible and you can't get enough. You can divorce your spouse, total your car, say "no" to drugs, but you cannot stay away from that boiling brown beauty that French diplomat Tallyrand described as "black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love." Yes, the nutritionists t.ell you • thatamugofthestuffcangiv~ you 290 mg of caffeine. 'I'he doctors tell you that it takes years from your life. But your brain tells you that if you don't get you daily dose, you are going to feel like someone just buried an axe in your head. Coffee is so cosmopolitan. You can make it out of milk or water. You can get it in all sorts of different flavours espresso, cappuccino, cafe au lait, Bavarian chocolate, and Dutch almond. Heck, add different alcohols to it and you have yourself-a new breed Irish coffee, Bailey's, B-52, Hawaiian, and Amaretto. Is this a choice or what! The origins of coffee can be traced back to Yemen circa 1000 AD. It spread with Islam to other regions. The Turks developed such a craze for it that they made a law in which a wife could divorce her husband for failing to keep the family pot full! Today, coffee provides a livelihood for over 25 million people. All fifty nations that export it rely on it as a major source of exchange. The largest exporters happen to be Brazil, Indonesia, and the Ivory Coast of Africa. Coffee has become a major, though unstable, source of exchange on the commodity markets. You can always tell that there has been a frost in Brazil, when you see brokers jumping out of windows at the Commodity Exchange in London. The phenomena of coffee has people dying over it- literally. In Uganda during the reign of Idi Amin, coffee smugglers who were caught were put to death. In El Salvador, the rich families who own the coffee fields are subject to terrorist threats, kidnapping, and sometimes murder. Do not worry; you are not alone in your infatuation with coffee. Voltaire was said to have drank 50 (count them - fifty) cups of coffee a day. Napoleon i:elied on it to stay awake at nights while he was laying down French civil law. Bach wrote the "Coffee Cantata" in dedication to the beverage. Frederick the Great had his coffee made with champagne rather than water. Now you can see the phenomena behind each cup of coffee that you hold in your hand. When you are reminded that coffee is a slow killer, remember the immortal words ofVoltaire: "I think it must be, for I've been drinking it for 65 years and am not dead yet!" Coming soon - CHOCOLATE! Campaign Launched Against Greenhouse Effect ,WASHINGTON (IPS via ISIS) -- Asserting that the greenhouse effect poses an unprecedented threat to humanity's survival, a massive, worldwide coalition of environmentalists, scientists, political parties, consumer groups and others announced October 12 the formation of the Global Greenhouse Network. At the conclusion of a three-day conference held here to discuss the economic, political, and social implications of the greenhouse crisis, 90 delegates from 35 nations issued a manifesto calling for radical changes in energy use, agricultural practices, food policy, and resource conservation. "The greenhouse crisis may be the most profound environmental threat humankind has faced," said Jeremy Rifkin, president of the U.S.based Foundation on Economic Trends, which sponsored the conference. "The Global Greenhouse · Network is the first step in creating a global political response to this unprecedented· crisis," he told a news conference. Delegates to the conference included officials of the Zimbabwe-based Environment and Development Agei:icy, the Brazil-based Rural Advancement Fund International, and the Geneva-based World Council of Churches. In addition, representatives ofthe Kenya-based Environmental Liaison Centre, the Sudan-based African Network of Non-Governmental Organisations, and the Malaysiabased Asia-Pacific People's Environmental Network were in attendance. According to some scientific predictions, if current industrial growth and fossil fuel use are not reduced over the next 50 years, the Earth could experience a temperature increase of four to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be the largest jump in 18,000 years, said Rifkin. Such an eventuality could lead to a huge rise in the level of threat. the oceans, severely . . ening all coastal communities, as well as causing massive droughts in some areas, he said A significant increase in planetary temperature would also threaten the survivability of animal and plant life at the bottom of the food chain, thus endangering all species, added Rifkin. The new coalition issued a nine-point list of recommendations, including the "rapid transformation away from fossil fuel-based technologies and toward solar, wind, and other environment;ally-sound, renewable energy source." The network also called for a 20 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2000, and a 50 per cent reduction by 2030. Third World debt should be retired "as an incentive to conserve and replenish tropical forests," it said, noting that these forests play an important role in consuming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The group call for "carbon taxes and other environmental penalties targeting industrialised nations," since it is those countries that produce the vast..majority of the greenhouse gasses. • Proceeds from these taxes would b~ placed in an intergovernmental fund to assist in the necessary retooling of industrial infrastructures around the world, said the network. Governments should reject nuclear and genetic engineering and other ''high technology" responses to the greenhouse problem, it said. The network also called for the widespread use of energy efficiency and conservation in industrial and private sectors, as well as a change from "green revolution" agriculture -- based on petrochemical fertilizers that emit nitrous oxide -- into organicbased, ecologically-sound agriculture. The world's governments must also seek alternatives to chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) -used in aerosols, refrigerants and in some foam products -- as part of an effort to work toward an eventual ban on CFC production and use, said the coalition. In September 1987, 38 governments signed the Montreal Protocol which, if fully implemented, could reduce global CFC emissions by as much as 40 per cent by 2009. The network suggested the use of tax incentives and legislative initiatives to achieve several of the goals on its list. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon whereby certain gasses in the atmosphere retain heat reflected off the Earth, providing the warmth needed to sustain life on the planet. But since the onset of the industrial revolution roughly a hundred years ago, humanity has intensified the greenhouse effect by introducing huge amounts of greenhouse gasses -- carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, CFCs, and methane -- into the atmosphere. ~ l:~ Build equity fu your future.

As years pass so do clothing styles and at present, the trend seems to be 9eading towards the more conservative and traditional tastes and in many cases very stylish also. Last Wednesday, your intrepid Argus reporter stepped into the STUDY in a very cautious manner not knowing what to expect. Was I going to see the return of the heel high skirt with bustle, or was it the year of the bell-bottom pants topped off with a stylish "Nehru" jacket with a yellow paisley print! Ack! Was there going to be a horde of diseased, anorexic, and under-nourished 16 year old models showing off the wares of major clothing designers? Little did I know that this would be a fashion preview ofthe upcoming Academy Awards show! Only time would tell! What I had assumed to be another fashion show for the preppy and trendy student, turned out to be a black tie type ev_ent. At one point that evening, rd swear to God, that I saw Frank Sinatra having a drink in the STUDY! At last, the age of glamour and elegance has returned. In keeping with the tradition at Lakehead, the show sterted fashionably late. There were problems with the lighting, the stage, and the sound, of course! But once the show started some of the problems were forgotten. The firat thing I noticed when the first of the fashions were displayed were the models w ~ the clothing. 'Ibey were not the regular run of the mill Too Hot for the Hothouse by Mike Moore When you read about an unknown band that bas made it in a huge way elsewher.e and has all the critics lining up to praise their talents, one tends to expect a great deal from them. At least I do. The band in question is HOTHOUSE FLOWERS. In the United Kingdom, tliis is one big band. Critics have said of the Dublin-based band:"...destined for success on a grand scale...•, "Dripping with sweat, enthusiasm and a certain Gaelic charm ...", "... instantly addictive ...", and "Absolutely magnificent". How can a band live up to such claims? HOTHOUSE FLOWERS can live up to this and much, much more. The first time I listened to their album, "People", I was hooked. Each song gripped me in a way that only a certain other Irish band can grip me. "Don't Go'', "If You Go", "Yes, I Was" and "Hallelujah Jordan'' are only some of the tremendous songs on this tape. Every song bursts with the enormous vocal energy created by the lead singer, Liam O'Maonlai. His voice is very much like Bruce Springsteen's, with a slight Gaelic lilt, making him sound a little bit like Bono as well "People" is a tremendous album and I can not say enough about the band. The have emerged from the thousands of bands in the music business to be known as a winnei:. They were even able to climb out of the shadow ofthe Joshua Tree to be an individual band and not simply '\he other band from Ireland". Buy this album as soon as possible!!! Stood up -by t~e Pikes by Rhonda McKay Can you believe it? The Northern Pikes cancelled their Thursday night concert here at L.U.. In fact, I think the engineers have already obliterated the t.ape. But then again, wouldn't you if you were only given a few days notice of the cancelation? Who would be bothered to hire the Northem Pikes after what after what they did to Lakehead University? .... There have been some rumours'' flying around that they c~ncelled because n_ot enough -tickets had been -sold. Another one was that the Northern Pikes cancelled just because we're "Thunder Bay". Neither of these theories are correct. Thunder Bay was not the only spot where the Northern 6 foot, 100 pound models that you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle. The models were women of all shapes and sizes, a true representation of the female fashion market. Most of the clothing on display had one certain theme which• was glamour and excitement associated with the night life in a 1arge urban environment (just like a Mich~ lob commercial .~.). Black was the colour of choice for the designer. Black velvet, black. spandex, black leather, black ... whatever! The point being that the designer wanted something more adventurous and mysterious for the modern woman. What impressed me·the most were the strapless evening dresses. Black, • of course, was the fabric colour of choice. Eye appealing and intriguing are only a few: words that can be used to describe that type of apparel. Gold and silver materials highlighted these dresses giving them a definite elegant flair and it seemed to bring out the confident side ofthe wearer, almost a form of cockiness! The appeal was lost for a moment when the mini-skirts were displaye~. I have no qualms about the mini's but they just didn't seem to fit into the type of atmosphere pres~ ent that night. The mini's did however have a profound effect on the crowd in the centre of the room! The clothing that was displayed was made locally at "Thredz Insted".

Our city shook with shrieks and howls as creatures stalked the night in search of the ultimate party. Halloween enables a person to live out his or her ultimate fantasy or personality with the aid of a creative costume. For those of you who attended the Halloween bash at the Inntowner, you'll agree that the human imagination is quite extraordinary. About 400 people attended the costume party Saturd~y, October 29, and by 10:30 pm the place was crawling with all kinds of inventive attire. Latecomers had to settle with standing room unless a sharp eye caught the luxu,rious sight - of an unoccupied chair. The rock band, Wild Child, kept the "ghouls and goblins" alive with a powerful, unified sound and three stage sets of favourite hits - Guns N Roses, The Cars, Stevie Nicks, The Cult, AC/DC, and more. Throughout their sets, the dance floor trembled under festive feet. The party atmosphere continqed between shows as the Inntowner's regular "rock DJ" blasted tunes accompanied by a large video screen suspended 'in front of the stage. The· newly-constructed, extended bar consis- tently accommodated hoards of "Party Animals" who joined in to celebrate the event. . Each costume was unique in its own way: There were traditional devils, punk rockers, ghouls and ghosts, and menin-drag, but in addition, Elviras, clergy and political characters delighted •the crowd. Even Frankenstein and his bride awoke form the depths to attend. This year the most popular garbs were inspired by the smash Broadway production of "Cats" which recently graced our Auditorium. Evidently, many "cats" spent careful hours applying makeup and creating outfits to resemble some of the play's characters. Some of the results were "purrrfect"! Of course, there was a contest to reward those for their imaginative outfits. Wild Child judged the contestants with the help of the audience. The "Sexi~st Costume" was warded to a punk rocker in drag, although the Elvira clone was also a favourite. For the "Funniest Costume" one nerd out of a group of four others was chosen. Some felt that the "Mad Hadder" should have been selected. He bad constructed a HUGE black top hat, complete with eye boles which encompassed most of his body. It seemed to be awkward to dance in and to fight through the Your Argus Gulde to What' Happening. On Campus, . Around Town, and in the BLUE ZONE this Weekend! Jeff Bradley Comedian-Juggler Main Cafe.

"Freddie Cruger" took the "Scariest Costume" prize, complete with gooey face and bladed fingers. Unfortunately, the crowd was not informed about what was enclosed in the winners' envelopes. It would have been nice to know what the winners received for their efforts. I was also disappointed that the staff of the Inn towner did not share in the spirit of the occasion. I realize that they had better things to do than to dress in some form of outrageous attire, but surely the Halloween Party events could have been arranged to enhance the night. Sometimes that "little something extra" leaves a more favourable impression. Overall, the friendly atmosphere i},t the Inntowner upheld the spirit of Halloween. Another costume party was held Monday night as both Prism and Wild Child took the stage. The crowd was e~pected to be smaller than Saturday night's perhaps due to door-to door trick-or treaters or other commitments. Now •as the excitement dies down and the snow begins to blanket the earth, we can look forward to rejoicing once more as the Christmas holidays are creeping towards us quickly. by Terrance Corry Direct from Lhasa via the Drepung Loseling Monastery, centuries of religion is coming to · Lakehead University on November 15. The Potala Tibetan Buddp.ist Meditation Centre is presenting a group of eight monks who will be performing The Longevity Dance of the Sky People and '!be Dance of the Skeleton Lords along with other musical arrangements. The famous tibetologist, Glen Mullin will act as narrator and explain the various chants and rituals. Gungbar Rinpoche will be leading the seven other monks through out the performance in an attempt to spread peace and harmony though out the world. With their brightly coloured· traditional costumes that reflect meditative peace or the destruction of violence, they will try to help the audience transcend the bonds of hate and bring a new level of enlightenment. The original monastery was located outside of Lhasa, Tibet until 1959 when the chinese invaded and destroyed all. The Dalai Lama escaped to India and a new monastery was set up in the United States.

The strangeness �Canadian Skaters Capture Gold by Janet Fuchek Last week the Thunder Bay community was treated to a • display of talent from the international figure skating circuit. The Sun Life Skate Canada International competition, held October 25-30, attracted sixtyfive athletes from thirteen countries. The Fort Wiliam and Thunder Bay Skating Clubs hosted this event, with activities transpiring at the Port Arthur Arena and Fort William Gardens. An opening ceremony conducted by the local skating clubs signified the formal start of the rivalries Thursday, October 27th. An exhibition held Sunday included a precision skating routine, with the closing ceremony afterwards. This event commended particular attention, since many of the skaters who have dominated the world scene have recently retired. It also marked the first opportunity in Canada to see the new original short program for singles skating, focusing on the artistic nature of the sport.· For each breathtaking challenge, spectators greeted the performers with loud applause and cheers. In front of such an appreciative crowd, Canadian athletes were motivated to achieve their best - winning two gold medals and a bronze. Kurt Browning thrilled onlookers with his dynamic routines to capture the men's singles' title over Victor Petrenko of the Soviet Union. He conquered ten others with his outstanding showmanship and skating abilities. Browning's original program consisted of a combination jump (triple ax.el; double loop), a flying spin and "death drop", and serpentine footwork. He finished his display with a double ax.el and combination spin, executed with finesse. Browning included elements of triple flips, axels, toes, and loops; triple salchow; and circular footwork to make his long program entertaining. He concluded this exhibition of merits with the Russian splits and a camel Browning was celebrated as the first person in history to successfully land a quadruple jump in international competition (World Championships, Budapest - 1988).

Crowley-sees the upcoming considered the team's 'quarterback', a leader on offensive play as well as in overall defense. In men's basketball, John Laplante was named player of the month but he was unable to attend the ceremonies. Laplante was a key player in the Alumni match, leading the team with 36 points including seven 3 point field goals. Coach Bruno Colavecchia describes Laplante as one of the Nor'Westers' consecutive scorers, but a dislocated finger temporarily placed him on the sidelines. Colaveccbia adds that Laplante is a team leader both on and oft' the court. The Nor'Westers will see basketball action against Gogebic College this weekend in the fieldhouse.

The Alumni team; featuring such names from the past as John Zanatta, Ken Ross, Dave Barkwell, Dave Kirychuk, Gord Bruyere, and Rene Pawluk, to name a few, were able to stay close in the first half, going into the locker room trailing 48-44. The second half saw the Nor'Westers come out and take control of the game, winning by a score of 107-87. The Nor'Westers were led by John Laplante, who sparkled with 36 points and Doug Fenwick, who added 18 points and eight rebounds. The Alumni were led by John Zanatta, who netted 22. The Nor'Westers embarked on their exhibition season , _ travelling to Sudbury to play the Laurentian Voyaguers in the annual battle for the Northem Ontario Championship and the Carliµg O'Keefe Trophy. This was a good test for the Nor'Westers, since the Voyaguers always field aggressive, competitive teams. Hampered by the loss of three key starters (Ed Collins, John Laplante, and Leslie Ragguette) to injury, theNor'Westersdropped two decisions 114-81 and 11476. In spite of the losses, the games gave Coach Colavecchia a very good opportunity to see his bench and rookie athletes perform in a game situation. These early season experiences and lessons learned will certainly pay dividends when the OUAA season commences in January. High scorers for Lakehead the first night were Doug Fenwick with 17 points, Jeff'Byerley with 14, and Brian Konu with 12. The second game high scorers were Brian Konu with 18, Jeff Byerley with 15, and Ray Foster with 10. - - �TurmoiI ,,- Pt,,,c"" (ttl,;,a) J1 Jl fi ,Jl <---: ~ CJ HUNOE.R 0AY:S BtAUTIFUL 0 GUN SHOP SANG S/H'f6, tau..

Some people, usually those who are very active remain thin in spite of the amount that they eat, while others put on weight even while they are watching what they eat and trying to cut down on caloric intake. There are many causes of obesity. In some cases heredity does play a part and there is and inherited tendency to obesity. In most cases, however, overeating and lack of exercise are the main causes. HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT You can usually lose weight by eating less and by increasing your physical activity. You should aim at losing about one pound per week. Too rapid a weight loss can make you feel tired, light headed and nauseated. Consider why you_want to lose weight. Keep a record of your eating habits -- the times you eat, what you eat, where and under what circumstances, what your This will give you some insight into what is influencing your eating behaviour. When you know and understand the circumstances surrounding your eating habits, then you can control your eating behaviour. Keep in mind, however, that changing behaviour is not easy and there is no quick solutions. Fad diets . are always popular because they usually promise quick and easy weight loss. However, they do NOT offer sound dietary advice and if weight loss occurs at all it is usually temporary. These food diets may indeed be harmful as your body tends to put on weight very fast when you stop using the diet. Remember that when it comes to .losing weighty in a healthy way, there are no short cuts or miracle methods. Your goal should be to control your eating behaviour and by doing so to lose weight. Exercise should become part of your daij.y routine._One of the best ways of getting regular exercise is walking - instead of taking the elevator, try climbing stairs. • Join. the weight wise clinic (WWC) at the student health services. Weigh in on Monday and Fridays and have your weight recorded. Keep your own personal record. You can pick up lots of resource material on losing weight. TIPS ., 1. Cut down on your food in- take. Eat low calorie foods instead of high calorie ones. 2. Increase your physical activity - do more walking. 3. Do NOT skip meals. 4. Change your eating habits and then you will be ab~e to maintain your weight loss. CORNER POCKET .p~'&ffi~~~ •REPOR'!!z_!lF.SUMES PHOTOCO~ •RATF.S i,l!A>OTIABLE 434 E.

Restless, and The Board By Robert McKenzie At last Thursday's LUSU meeting, the first major item of discussion was the precedJng weekend's street dance. Dominant topics ranged from Mother Nature's spitefulness to alternate ram locations for future events of this type. Most discusskm time on the subject dealt with the irate students who paid a rather large sum of • money to be turned away from a promoted beer gardens which closed for business at 10:30.

Mr. Marsh was the person in charge of the licensed running of the facility which was located tn the main cafeteria. When later asked about LUSU's reaction to this, Mr. LeBlanc stated that "There was some resistance by LUSU organ17..ers". He went on to explain, however. that with the amount of staff hired for the event and the low numbers of students actually using the facility, " we would have continued to run at a loss anyway." ·.t· .When asked about ~the absence of a beer tent at this year's event, LeBlanc responded that adnun.fstratlon would not permit one as part oftheir endorsement of alcohol-free ~events.

He made it clear that LUSU should threaten CFS with a petition at our institution to withdraw from the organization into which LUSU injects over $20,000.00 each year. . He stated that LUSU cannot afford to sit aside and watch its representation dwindle further into obscurity. This point and all others were considered thoroughly and, after lengthy debate. the position of the board was clear - the threat of withdrawal would be issued to the CFS. Finally, during question period, the topic of LUSU's promotion of American Express was raised by sev• eral concerned councillors. They matnly wanted to 1mow why V.P. Finance, Tony LeBlanc chose to promote that particular card when it requires a full balance payoff every month. Aside from the $5 commission LUSU receives for each card registered for. Mr. LeBlanc stated three other reaso~. The card provides great travel deals for all students ln conjunction with Canadian AJrlines. It provides discounts for its hold· ers at select businesses. And. finally. the company will provide a large programmable electronic sign-board for student use. This will be used for promQtlons in the pub. • When later discussing the Am-Ex promotions, LeBlane stated that he had run into resistance by the Alumni Association for promoting the card as they are promoting another card on campus. Alumni feels that they make more meaningful use of the revenue gained by commissions on their card and LUSU shouldn't compete with that. LeBlanc stated that it was LUSU's intention to provide a service to the students with the advantages that the card can provide for them. The main thrustbehtndthecampaJgn was not the intention of providing competition. LeBlanc feels little doubt that the Alumni position bad influence on administration's choice to forbid LUSU a stand on university property to promote their carcl. He also stated that LUSU should be able to make money as Alumni can since "WSU semces are available to all of our students rather than a select few." Direct from .

Openly defying men like Fidel Castro, Noriega, or Daniel Ortega (as a few examples), was easy for the .Amencan media and Presidential speech writers to do. However it tends to get consistently more dtftlcult for us to befriend world leaders when they walk that fine line between dictatorship and democracy. The removal of Ferdinand Marcos from the Ph1111pines is only one example where a strong message was sent by the U.S. State Department-run your countcy your way, but don't forget where the gravy comes from. A friendly reminder from your neighbourhood CIA. For years, the American and Western governments kept Saddam Hussein 1n what nught appropriately be called the 'good boy' closet. We never wanted to actually call him a close friend, but nine years ago when he boldy stepped across the border in Iran to claim a small piece of land, the West breathed a sigh of relief that som~one was teaching those wicked hostage-takers a lesson. Supplying Iraq with weapons and satellite intelligence wasn't enough-they also let Iraq grow into a formidable power in the Middle East. Now, when Iraq makes peace with Iran (sort of) and steps into Kuwait to claim another disputed chunk ofland (to pay off accumulated war debts), the U.S. and other Western allies are left with mud on their face. There is no doubt that what Saddam Hussein did epitomizes the ruthlessness of a war•monger dictator. but now we sort of look like hypocrites also. It just proves the old adage "superpowers have interests have-not friends." After eight years of fighting With Iran. using Soviet and American Weaponry, spending all of the countcy's oil money, and causing countless deaths, Hussein basically gave the land back to Iran in a hastily negotiated peace settlement. He had bigger fish to fry. Saddam Hussein is now the biggest single threat to American oil 1n , the region. Defending the Saudi Royal family ts not only defending individual lives. but defending a steady stream of reliable energy to the West If you're looking for a prediction as to whether war will break out, then ·yes, it will .. Iraq has one million people_ready and poised for war. Toe United States is the backbone of one of , the largest peace-time troop buildups. With increased tension in the Middle East already, growing pan-Arab support, and the cooling days of winter approaching. it will cease to be a standoff, and Iraq will come out the loser. The United States will go home breathing a little easier: and maybe they will be more choosy about how they treat their 'friends' in the rest of the world. As for the Middle East? Well maybe Democracy might get there yet, but that's another story. Painting The Politics Green - Paipttng the Pgyµcs green It is. beyond doubt that the environment needs to be carefully assessed and it's use strictly monitored. The depletion of the natural resources worldwide at a scale never witnessed before in human histocy is a fact: leaving behind the task of determining the extent of damage done, and what remedies can be offered for a more sympathetic and caring exploitation of the environment. However, before we Jump blindly onto the "protect our envtronmenr campaign and in order to control the use and abuse of the environment, we need to first understand the reasons and the dypamtcs which have so far governed this exploitation, otherwise, the radical policies that are formulated to tackle the environment issue, mostly in the industrtalized countries- but presumed suitable worldwide, threaten to stagnate (if not reverse) economic growth and development in areas most in need of growth and development- the weak and poor nations who constitute the developing world. Toe environmentalists have proven that the "greenhouse effect" will make the earth warmer in decades to come. For example, the Northern European cllinate will resemble that of the Mediterranean and there will be an increase in deserttllcation in many parts of the world: areas which include the Sahel and the American Mid-West. The main culprit of global warming is carbon dioxide. A vigorous campaign agatnst this compound has been launched 1n Western Europe, from discouraging the construction of thermal power stations and banning timber trade (large forests will consume, among other things, the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, or so it is believe~i). Policies are churn~ out :µitck and fast. Some of the methods of limiting the emissions of carbon dioxlde are improvement in the production method, reduction in harmful wastes, making better quality products, using the raw materials more effiCiently and substituting . natural inputs with synthetic materials iu.ve all been part of the evolutionary process in the West's industrial development. Further, the use of nuclear power to generate electricity because it ts atmospherically clean (no carbon dioxide emission) ts another alternative. This step will benefit the industrial1zed nations as it will improve the quality of life, and matntain/preseive to a better degree, • than has been the case in the past, the natural environment 1n the rest of the world. On the other hand, Green Politics neglects the right of the third world, people who depend on the enytronment to generate much-needed wealth for their economies. Further. these poorer nations depend on the aids and grants from industrialized nations, who in the bargain tap poorer nation's natural resources•for their own benefit. There are issues such as the rate at which the rainforest is cleared, or the amount of toxic material that is used in agriculture and that which pollutes the rivers and lakes at an alarming rate. These poorer nations do not realize that in the long run it will damage their natural environment. Recent examples of the damages are: Bhopal (poor industrial safety). Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (nuclear accidents). Western Europe (acid rain), Alaska and Morocco (oil spills) and Bombay, Cairo and Mexico City (smog). In conclusion, the technology and expertise used by the third world to generate hydro power, and in the manufactµrtng sector. ts vecy prtm1tive and emit ample carbon dioxide and CFCs into the atmosphere. To replace these primitive tools 1s very expansive and too costly. Further, these nations look up to industrialized nations for aids and grants to develop their industrial sectors, and-these rich nations take advantage of this opportunity. Hence, all in all, the environment needs to be looked after. But if it is done so on terms and conditions set out by the industrial· 1zed world, then it ts the poor nations that look after these policies.

This May, the summer executive reassessed the position to see if it was worth the expense and was necessary since there are now three full_time executives. It was our coilclusion that the needs identified as not being met by the Student Union's current organizational structure _could be addressed without hiring another full time staff member. This was done by hiring on a part time basis, consultants to oversee certain aspects of LUSU operations. These include a construction expert to ensure the students interests in the construction of the Student Centre, a team of consultants to review the proposed management agreement between LUSU and the Board of Governors of the University. We also have people looking at the long term fiscal picture - of the Student Union and will be developing a ftve year business plan for LUSU. Experts in the hospitality field are looking at the restaurant operation of the new events hall and wmdevelop operating manuals. Cun:ently, the Student Union has a business manager, pay clerk, events programmer /bar manager, assistant bar · manager as well as five supervisory personnel in the Study. Even though the new events hall will be a much larger operation than we currently run, we have the operating procedures in place to accommodate the increase in staffing and revenue. New computer equipment was installed in the Study this year with the express purpose that staff would be fully trained on it by the time the Student Centre was ready to open. There will also be a Kitchen Manager to run the restaurant.What then is the administrative director to do? This was the problem that we had this summer when it came time to actually go out and hire someone for a job we felt was redundant and a waste of money. The total bill for all the consulting work to be done this year is in the neighbourhood of $10,000. Some people on campus and on the -Board of Directors would have us spend $42,000 a year, IN PERPETIJITY, for jobs already accomplished. The AD. was thought to be able to develop the long range financing of the Student Union. The business plan and our current Business Manager are already doing . this. Furthermore, how is one person to address all the aspects of LUSU? We need a Construction Engineer to oversee the building, we need kitchen experts to help in the purchasing of equipment for the main events hall, we need business people to develop a long range -business plan. We did actually go out and advertize the A.O. position, none of the applicants were able to offer the qualities that were needed. Some peo le wanted the A.O. to make policy decisions. Policy decisions are made by elected representatives of the Board of Directors and the executive. In my opinion, all policy decisions must remain in the hands of demoeratically elected individuals if LUSU is to be accountable to its membership. The money that would have been spent on the AD. can go towards offering better services to the student body. We need more photocopiers, we could use student accessible word processors so essays and reports could be typed, replace the old typewriters under the Ubrary, offer legal advise to students, make the Ombudspersons office full time, more speakers on campus, more alternative programming etc.In the I next two weeks the Board of Directors_will be again looking at the A.O. I stand by the decision of the executive this summer to not hire and A.O. We must remember that LUSU is here to offer services and this cannot be done if too high a percentage of our revenue is use to pay staff.In conclusion the decision not to hire an Administrative Director is supported by our auditors, L.U. Administration and our present staff. �No Nukes At U. of Sask. SASKATOON (CUP) The University of Saskatchewan should quash plans to buy a controversial ten-megawatt nuclear reactor, according to a local citizen's coalition. Using a recent report critical of a two-megawatt nuclear reactor in Piniwa, Manitoba, the Pokebusters Citizen's Coalition has intenslfied its campaign to stop U of S from buying the reactor. The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has said Piniwa's two-megawatt reactor is unsafe because of improper waste manage-ment, inadequate testing procedures, and a general lack of quality assurance in the design. Pokebusters ofilcfal Tom Ermondi said if the twomegawatt reactor can't be operated safely neither can Bye Bye Tuition By Helen Wuortnen the larger one being considered by U of S. "The U of S board of governors should reject th~ Slowpoke outright," Ermondi said. "The Atomic Energy Control Board's document is enough proof. "Hidden dangers within the Slowpoke reactor would pose wmecessary risks to thousands of'" university students and the surrounding community," he said. But Metro Dmytrtw of AECB said those who are afraid of the reactor "don't understand the technology." . When asked about :=the safety concerns, Dmytrtw Said an environmental impact assessment would be conducted under provincial and federal government guidelines. The university's board of governors is expected to make a decision on the issue by November. The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) which represents Ontario's 12,000, professors, passed a statenient calling for a decrease in the level of tuition fees. This decrease would involve a policy, which over a period of time would see the complete eJJmination of fees altogether. Such an elimination would also affect international students. As well as leading to improvements in the Ontario Student Assistance Program. In the policy statement, one of the main goals is to attract students who are currently unable to afford the present cost of tuition. 'The statement was issued tn response to a rise tn publJc attention to the higher cost of university, spec1fically a proposed plap by one Canadian University to steadily • increase their fees. An ofilclal at Queen's University proposed yearly Canada's ·N ative Obligations <YITAWA (CUP) - I f the problems facing Canada's native people are to be resolved, Canadians must first recognize and address their moral obUgations to the First Nations. 1bat was the message about 350 students heard at a Sept. 12 open fprum on aboriginal self-government at Carleton University. In a speech repeatedly interrupted by applause. Ovide Mercredi. the deputy regional chief for the Manitoba Assembly of.First Nations, argued that the problem of aboriginal sovereignty is not a legal or constitutional Issue, but rather a moral and political one. "When did the indigenous peoples surrender the I1ght to govern themselves?_ Where in our history is the paper that tells us so?" he demanded. Native collective and individual rights to freedom rights enjoyed by other Canadians are being suppressed, Mercredi said. And Canadians have no right to tell natlves how to conduct Indian affairs, he maintained. Appealing to governments and the Canadian public to abolish their double social standards and share political and eco- nomic power, the Manitoba chief called for a just and more equitable allocation of resources. "There can be no law and order without justice," he said. In a spirit of cooperation and friendship, Mercredi appealed for a greater understanding and tolerance for native people. He also called for the opportunity for natives to address issues in accordance with their traditional values and institutions. American native leader Russel Means told students about current relations between natives and the U.S. government. In that country. there is a structure of tribal police and courts that 'work in conjunction with local. state and increases of 125 dollars in tuition costs in early 1989. 111.is directly led to the striking up of a committee to study the issue of fees at the June 1989 meeting of the OCUFA Board of Directors. As a result of this committee a policy statement to slowly do away with tuition fees was passed on September 14, 1990. The following are a list of what the policy expects from the Government: Differentlal fees for international students were to be cut out and tuition fees were to be reduced, at the same time as fees for Ontacto students were. Financial aid to international students from nations less prosperous than Canada was another proposal made by the directors. The implementation of a review of the Ontario Student Assistance Program, allowing for more flexibility in parental contributions, reviewing the definitions of the dependent/independent student categories and to g).ve more assistance to post graduate students. Dr. Bob Rosehart, President of Lakehead University said that "... tfthe :new government decided on a long term strategy that would like to see tuition fe<ts ellmmated, I don·t have any trouble supporting it ... Any long term plan would have to involve an increase in funding from elsewhere -more than likely, further govenm1ent subsid1es. Currently, the provincial government picks up around eighty percent of the average student's education, .while the international student pays the entire cost. Whether or not OCUFA's recommendations are put into place by the newly elected government, sun remains to be seen. Unfortunately, the Lakehead representative of OCUFA could not be reached for comment at this time. FIRE DOOR FEAR federal authorities, he said. The Canadian government's refusal to negotiate towards this type of sovereign structure is a disgrace, Means said. "Canada has been embarrassed before the world. Its treatment of Native people Is being internationally compared to oppression in Israel and South Africa," he said. Natlve political and legal stability is a prerequisite for economic development. Means said. The present situation between natives and the- U.S. government was carved by acts of violence. he said, adding that he hoped native and nonnative violence can be avoided in Canada. TORONTO (CUP) - A newly-installed security system in a University of Toronto building has raised concerns among students about fire safety. Electronic locks on the building's doors are supposed to automatically unlock in the event of a fire, but students fear the system may break down and people could be locked inside the buil,ding in an emergency. Alan Rosenthal a graduate computer science student, said he is concerned about the new locks."Anytime ther~ are electronic systems there are usually complications or electrQnic failure," he said. After inspecting the building recently, Ron Lewis, the U of Ts chief fire prevention officer, said the fears are we11-founded. "There is a remote possibility that during a fire ,a larm when people try to leave, the button (to unlock the door) could fail," he Said. "You could in some circumstances be trapped." But, he- said, U of T is dealing with the issue. "The university has gone to the project architect to try and find some solution to this problem, because we can't live with it."

It is the fictional account of a small group of friends in New York City in the 80's and how their lives are changed by the appearance of a mysterious and devastating new disease, Aids. To handle such a heavy subject at an entertaining as well as an informative level, demands a delicate balance in its treatment. This film, written by Craig Lucas and directed by Norman Rene, meets the challenge. The film first and foremost is a celebration of life and this is where its strength lies. Although it portrays the horrendous consequences of the disease. it isn't mired in the problems surrounding Afds. It fs an honest account, exploring what it must be like to live day by day wondering if you, your friends or your loved ones will be marked by this incurable disease. It deals with the paranoia surroundingAids: the constant self examination for symptoms and the fears·surroundingtouching the Aids sufferer; and it deals with the strength required in facing such adversity day by day. It is a story of relationships and the loyalty and dignity surrounding those relationships. I was impressed by the level of caring and courage which the characters demonstrated to each other. In the finest senses of the word, the ftlm is a love story. Which brings me to another point.

GET ROOTED.! .. . ................ .... . �ByDfaneMUls Wild At Heart All references to this movie include David Lynch's name. The characters are merely the means through which the director Lynch tries to shock the viewers. Nicolas Cage plays a guy named Sailor Ripley, believe It or not, but looks, talks and even sings like Elvis. Sailor's girl Lula, played by Laura Demand her mother played by Diane Ladd, are walldng lipstick and nail polish ads. The other stars are there to partake in bizzare sub-plots which attempt to distract the viewers into thinking that things are , actually suppose to make sense. / Incidental actors appear from nowhere, blurt out statements laced with philosophical theories, ask questions contaftllng 7 digit numbers and sometimes only gesture. Lynch uses Lula's memories and eclectic thoughts to draw current issues such as rape, abortion, alcholism and the environment into the picture. In one of the many bedroom scenes Lula expresses her concern for the depleting 07.0ne layer, fearing that one day we'll wake up and it will be gone. Sailor dismisses her wony by stating that •they'll be sending Buicks to the moon by then.· Yes, this movie is violent. Within the first five minutes, an occipi~ lobe oous onto a carpet. The gore along the yellow brick road happens only in flashes and ts easy to digest. Sex scenes repeat. Actors smoke too much. Perhaps the constant smoking, besides being the excuse to demonstrate a 'match trick' visual effect, ts a way to taunt smokers in the smoke-free theatre. (Viewers may notice that Lula's puffs often produce clear exhales.) Wh,t some have referred to as ·b1zzare references to the Wtmrd of 0z• are really not so strange. We have all seen that classic. we know its plot. By interjecting this familiarity, Lynch can create all the aberrations his wild little heart desires, and the audience will follow. • .A View On Aids By Vince Ponka What thoughts run through your mind when you think of someone living with AIDS?Whatdo you feel? Anger? Resentment?_Fear? A short time ago I met a fellow by the name of Jim. Now Jim's the sort of person everyone would like to know. He's friendly, talkative, and an awfully nice guy. The thing is, Jim has AIDS. He was diagnosed sfx months ago. Unfortunately, that ls enough to scare most people away from Jim, and others like him who have tested IDV+. (Human Immunodeficiency Virus- the virus believed to cause AIDS) If a friend, or anyone in our society were to be diagnosed as having leukaemia, no one would say that the person deseived the cancer, or that they must have been leading unnatural lives and that this is their punishment. Then why ts it that these things are said about AIDS? Why ts there such a mortal fear of this~? One must remember that people living with AIDS are doing just that. They are trying to cope and accept the fact that they are l1v1ng with a disease that will probably kill them. •1 do have an illness to which there is no cure and thus far ts fatal, • Jim said. "'lbere is a certain amount of fear here. The question, although challenging, is of benefit to my mental well-being. I continue to accept.• AIDS is a disease that, through education and the practising of safe sex, can be prevented. People should not fear coming into contact with those who are living with AIDS. Society must learn to overcome Its fears and come to the real1mtlon that AIDS Is not a divine act of retaliation, some great super-natural act of vengeance, or something that ts deseived in anyway, shape or form. It ts a disease, apd those trying to live with it should not have to remain behind closed doors for fear of some sort of retaliation. It's Important to become educated about this disease. Learn about it, talk about It, but do not do nothing. •1 believe my life has a purpose: I'm not sure what It ts. I possess fear but I'm not controlled by it. I swvtve, that's what I do best.

So I stopped by the LUSU •office to test Ian Middleton's open door policy. As soon as we sat down in the Study, Middleton proclaimed "I want to see a lot more nonalcohol events." This was before I even asked him the question. Can this man read minds or do I really look that young? According to our LUSU connection (who does not wish to remain anonymous), we can expect more events held under a two Caf-system. Alcohol in one room, and the band in the other.

Post Script: Afterjust one day of recovery L. U. runners continued to shine in Sunday's Heart of Thunder Bay Races. Johnathon Solly captured 1st in the 5 K. event while Sue Katnulainen earned top spot in the women's half marathon. Although Mike Hay couldn't keep pace with his brother Darrell in the men's half marathon, he did finish a respectable 4th. Lakehead's Robyn Agar ran to victory in the women's 5 K event. by Ellen Longboat by Anthony Hewitt _ Scholarships solely for athletic •achievement are not available in Ontario. The CIAU has set down in its guidelines a provision to allow first party athletic awards provided after one year of residency to a value of $1500.00. In, Q.gtario the OUAA reject the CIAU policy on purely athletic awards. On the other hand GPAC, Canada West, and Atlantic and Q~ebec Universities allow the CIAU policy to be used. • The OUAA policy reflects the ideal that,JVe are an academic facility first, and foremost. The few awards that are related to sport aspects are Judged first on academic achievement then the athletic component. The guidelines for awards in the OUAA set out the following criteria: 1) (The student) be open to any sport 2) The athletic dept. 1s excluded from the selection process 3) Recipient beyond their first year 4) Outstanding academic achievement 6) Award not to exceed $1000 6) Administered and selected by the University awards office 7) University senate approved 8) Awards updated with OUAA executive officer and distributed OUAA members 9) Judicial committee can suspend or place on probation sports or university violating this guideline 10) Awards reviewed and ratified by OUM awards committee and legislative council What does this mean for a small school like Lakehead when recruiting some big . name athletes? Clyde Tuyl, Lakehead's athletic coordinator doesn't see the absence of sports scholarships as degenerative to our sports programs. "Our coaches do a significant amount of recruiting to keep us competitive ...but dollars and cents are not a big issue." Tuyl says that they sell the things that are unique to Lakehead, -rhe fact that it 1s a small school, with very unique academic programs, that 1s forestry, business, education and so on." The small school population is a 9ig selling point stressed Tuyl, "The chance for quality education that may not be available in other schools, and the chance to play a sport in a school with such tremendous student support 1s very appealing." The OUM policy reflects more the fact that the larger schools have no use for monetary incentives to attract players. Schools with large student populations have a lot of interschpol competition for their teams, and bringing in outside talent is seldom needed whereas the smaller schools just have to work harder to attract the student athletes. "I wouldn't call the process unfair (no athletic incentives) but it does make it more difficult. It would be nice to have an athletic scholarship concept but at the same time we have to recognize that first and foremost we are an academic institution and athletics c·a n play an important role in the education process. Even if an athletic scholarship were available it is still incumbent upon any institution to recruit people with enough academic ability to complete their degree." "A one or two year wonder will not do a lot to develop a program... we want the students to stay from three to five· years and finish their degree." The problem of Canad.tan "athlete drain" to the U.S. is something that Antlwnyfelt he did not have the resources to cover in this article. How many of our top athletes are lost to the lures of glittering sclwlarshtps, signing bonuses and attractive perks offered by the relatively wuestricted recru.ittng policies of universities and colleges sou.th of the border is dYJicult to even imagine. This is where the real problem with CIAU and OUAA policy lies. - Sp.

My husband died almost a year ago and since his death my daughter has become very religious. Our family ls not at all religtous, .but we did have a. church funeral. She has become very quiet and wishes to be alone most times. She gets angry at me when I try to discourage her religious Interests but I don't think this ls healthy. What can I do to get my daughter back? A worried mother. Dear Worried, The death of a loved one is considered a major life stress. Your daughter may be feeling a sense of powerlessness in that she can't do anything to bring him back. She may even think her father has in some way abandoned her and left her all alone. Your daughter's interest in religious concepts could be.of comfort for her because it allows the idea oflife after death. Discouraging i:eligion may be more harmful than beneficial at this time. She may be holding on to her father through religion. You need to help your daughter work through the reality of the loss. Explore her feelings and share yours with her. Your focus should be on discouraging her isolation and quietness. Don't be afraid of reaching out to her. Annie , DearADnle, I am aflrst year off-campus student and I am having problems meeting people. I am from a small town where everyone knows each other. Believe it or not. Thunder Bay ls a , big city.

I would have asked for her but she won't even tell me what her problem is. I just put this ID the Argus mailbox:, but ls there another way so that nobody (even the Argus staff) will see her handing in a question. A friend. Dear "Frtend" and her friend, One simple way is to drop off your question in the Argus mailbox, or slide it under the Argus door. Hey, submit it after hours if you want. ~perchance the Argus staff does see you, remember that these individuals are journalists, and journalists never reveal their sources. P.S. Make sure you address your question/envelope to Annie Analyst to ensure safe delivery. Annie DearLSA. It is difficult moving to a new city, especially if all the faces are new to you. The important thing is to just be yourself. Attending social functions in which you are interested or joining LU clubs will place you i:h the perfect spot to meet people with similar interests.

Barb(not my real name) Dear Barb, DO NOTHING! It's not unusual for a student to have a crush on a professor(notice I said "crush"). You probably see your professor as very knowledgeable, and as a hJgh authority figure, making him all the more attractive (assuming he's attractive in the first place). Whether he's attractive or not, forget it. He's out of the question-off limitsforeign territory. A professor/ student relationship will only cause problems for both of you. There are loads of single male students all over campus, good looking ones too (or haven't you noticed yet). Annie. Page 13 Argus September 27, 1990 �HEALTH AVISION OF FITNESS Goal-Setting for Hea/th Achievement The most important part of developing a personal plan for physical fitness is knowing why you want to become more fit. As simple as that may sound, it is actually a critical aspect of a successful fitness plan. If your goal is weight loss, you'll approach fitness somewhat differently than if your goal is building strength and endurance. And, once you know why you want to become more fit, you can more easily determine what you can do to reach that goal. Set Long-Range Goals Be specific. Sit down with a paper and pencil and jot down exactly what you hope to accomplish by becoming more physically fit. Do you want to lose weight? If so, how much? Do you want to improve your endurance? If so, why? If you wish to improve specific skills (your bicycling, swimming, or golf game, for instance) state them. Knowing what you want in the long-run will help you tailor your program· to achieve your ends as well as motivate you to follow through with your "working" goals. Set Working Goals ff your long-range goal is to lose 15 pounds, start by setting short-range "working" goals-small steps that will help you reach your long-range wish. "Working" goals say what, how much, when, and how often you will do an activity to help you move toward your final goal. For instance, a working goal might be to attend a one-hour exercise class after work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Each time you attend a class, you've met one working goal. If your ultimate goal is to increase the weight you can bench-press, your working goals wi!I center around progressively "overloading" your muscles to help build strength. A Glossary ofFitness Terms If you don't know your triceps from your biceps (and are afraid to ask), don't despair. The following explanation of fitness terms can have you talking like a pro in no time flat. Abdominals: The stomach muscles; those that run from the lower ribs to the hips.

THE IN THIS ISSUE: 1ANATI'A'S JERSEY RETIRED co m m ~ -00 - �The Argus Page 2 October 25, 1990 Studen"t Ath- letics Definitely Needs Overhaul Dear Edltor: In response to Ian Cull's letter to the Argus (Vol. 27. Issue #6). It is~ opinion that under the present Canadtan Interuntversity Athletic Union (CIAU) and Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) systems that it is virtually impossible to consistently produce athletes at a world class level. ()f .se]f esteem. Because of this I feel that our system needs to be ttnproved upon. I think you wUl agree that student athletes are characteristically goal orientated, se1f disciplined, self motivated, and hold high levels I feel you will also agree that these are some of the qualities that our group leaders, managers, bosses, and teachers Oust to name a few) have as well. The CIAU should come up with a program that would better able student athletes to work at both athletics and academics on, a year round basis. Having a student athlete doing an 8 month x 4 year academic program in 12 months x 5 years, would help them by freeing up the much needed tttne for studies and training. For the student athlete the problem is $. That is where the scholarships come in - tuition and residence. Let's give our student athletes a chance to be what they can be. With good planning this program cou1d help enhance the universities' mage within the community. In the summer months the athletic programs could also use these athletes for community and school programs. This will also act as a way in linking the university with the community as well as help the student mature. This is a win, win situation. The student gets an education, and is allowed to train to achieve his/her athletic goals. The university gets more involved with the community via the athletlc department and a strong athletic program enhances tradition and school spirit. The Booster Clubs, and Alumni group get strong supporters and the community gets leaders, ·the movers and the shakers" of the world.

Fµstly, I would point out that the piece "Can You Pass This ·Test?" was not intended as strictly an article, but as an editorial which gave my pofnt of view. Secondly. it is sad that I couldnot shed any new l1ght on the issue of ignorance and racism, for apparently there is none. • I wish to congratulate Miss Davidson on being an enlightened individu'al who obviously feels that the issue need no longer be discussed. The purpose of the editonal was not to solve the world's or, on a smaller scale, Canada's racial problems. I did not state that Canada was not a multicultural country, but that I wished for it to be sensitive to its diverse population (not just blacks). The purpose of the article was to raise awareness and hopefully touch a nerve or two. It must have had some success, for it warnµited some of the precious time of Miss Davidson's to be sparred, in order to reply to the editorial. Unfortunately, the problem still exists, and that is reason eno~gh for continued discussion. for ff the issue falls out of the lttneUght, it will be extinguished and forgotten. should Nelson and Winnie Mandela stop giving lecture tours because you are tired of hearing about it? Should the holocaust no longer be talked about because it is an old issue and all one does is flap at the lips?Thinkabout it.

Increased Enrollment La.kehead University deftI)itely has a shortage of student accommodation. This shortage ts the result of several factors, but the fiiiii~~-~•••iiiiiiiii.iiiii~i.i.iiiiiiii~~~~~iiiiiiiiiiii~ - problem is mainly linked to the increase in the student population. Tilis academic year there are 10% to 11 % more students that last year, and approximately 800/4 of that increase comes from outside Thunder Bay. This increase is a provincial prob- =t~==~~~; versity expands it's programs. A second factor is that despite these projected increases in enrolment there is no present plan to expand the amount of rest- Spina did offer a few suggestions as well as a practical look at them. One was to turn all the first floor lounges in Bartley Residence into two double rooms. This has already been done on all the third floors. Despite the obvious advantage of forty more beds, this idea would cause more problems than it would solve-Pnmarily the loss of leisure and/ or study space. A second sofution ts to build a couple new houses onto Bartley Residence. There is plenty of land for it and the design of the pres- applications within a ten ·c1ay period. This seems fair to everybody already in residence, but is very unfair to all first years, because I of the 783 avaJlable spaces. 500 of them are taken up by returning students (as was the case this year). Tois means that only 283 first year students can get in. The only solution Mr. Spina can see is guaranteeing residence to all first years if they want it and putting the upper year students on a waiting list. This system is already implemented at the lI '. i' . •. I j .. ,I I • : l~ .~, ' ': 11 ,; ::\.

At the present time there are a total of 783 beds tn the residences. According to Mr. Ron Spina Direetor of Residence. up to 200 more beds could have easily been filled this year. This brings up the veryvalid question of why there are no present plans to build more spaces. Toe answers are Simple: a lack of foresight and a lack of money. Several years ago the Ontario government implemented a program . that would increase the amount of space available-in university residences. At the time Lakehead applied for only 142 more beds. and the townhouses were built. Now, It appears that the committee did not look ahead far enough. Possible Solutions However, when asked about some solutions, Mr. ent building easily lends itself to expansion. However the money ts not available, and there are no stgna1s from the government that universities will be receiving more funding. A tlurd solution is to build an entirely new complex. Again the land is avatlable. Mr. Spina liked this idea especially since it lends itself to apartment style units for married as well as single students. However, this would be the most expensive solution as not only would it have to be built, but services such as sewers, hydro, phone etc. would have to be installed. Change in Acceptance Polley For now the only-solution open appears to be a complete overhaul of the residence acceptance procedures. At the present time, returning students get flrSt' priority if they submit their University of Guelph. which has more housing problems. than most other universities. For now however. all students requlrtng housing have found it; be it in residence (the waiting list moved quickly in the first two weeks), or off campus, where despite the hfgher rents there is space available. Toe university administration ts well aware of the problem and are working toward a solving the problem, but construction of new residences seems the only lo_n g term alternative. Shortly before press time theArguslearnedthatthere will be several new townhouses ready for occupancy in the fall of 199 I.

Applications for the 1991 WUSC International Seminar to Botswana are now available here at Lakehead as we are a WUSC member. WUSC. which stands for the World University Service of Canada has chapters on many university and college campuses across Canada. Thirty students will be selected to participate in the summer programme which will begin in JW1e 1991 with an orientation in Ottawa and will continue to Botswana for approximately five weeks of travel and study that will provide a firsthand introduction to various aspects of international development. WUSC seminars have been providing opportunities for cross-cultural exchanges since the first WUSC seminar to Germany in 1948. Individual research topics that relate to econom.1cs, education. agriculture, geograpQy and the social and health sciences have- enabled students to combine special interests with an overall country focus. Participation in rural development activities and cu-;Itural events have been an integral part of these experiences. Toe working language of the seminar to Botswana will be English and selected students must prepare ' written reports on their study area in English. Students will be required to raiSe a portion of programme costs, with the remainder provided by CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) and WUSC to cover travel, lodging, meals and all seminar activities including_ a pre-departure briefing in Ottawa and an orientation 1D Botswana upon arrtval.

Many Canadians don't realize that movies are still censored in many countries including the United Stares and Canada. 1n Ontario a spec~ group lmown as the "Ontario Fllm Review Board" is given the r : ; : s : ~ ~ ! = ~ ~ !· board is evasive about giving out the exact numbers but in the 87-88 year some thirty films were cut in one way or another. • 1n past years the censor board in Ontarto cut out parts of films it felt were offensive; however, in recent years in order to avoid the bad publictty that goes along with censorship the board now OnlY stops movies from being released in Ontario until distributors have made the cuts themselves. These films are then re-submitted to the board for approval. Is having a censor board a good or bad thing? Is one needed? Should a few people over-step these areas, they become immensely powerful critics. For example, rather than warning people of the pphic violence in 1he Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the movie was released with the caption "an extremely gruesome, disgusting picture".

Is the board that is representing our moral int erests going too far, and a result blocking the creativity of anyone they do not agree with?

"a young girl found asleep one of the most progressive and democratic areas in Canada. We as Canadians continue to allow a repressive undemocratic system as the "Film Review Board" to exist. Also, I feel that some films get undue attention due to an unfavomable rating from the review board. The most recent example•ls David 4'nch's "Wlld at Heart", which had attracted much public1ty when it was edited by the review board in the U.S. and Ontario. 1n my opinion, it was alot of attention given undeservingly to a dumb film with no real purpose.

Wheelchair basketball requires more skill than you might fmagf.ne -- tes.t this out for yourself, as you join in the warm-ups.

If you want to be included on the team, call Dr. Jane Taylor at 343-8762. These events are organized to heighten awareness of the abilities of people with special needs - and also to lighten the approaching winter days with a little laughter and a little comradeship. Most people in town have not heard of "Degarmo and Key" despite ten or more successful albums, because they do all of their recording under a Christian recording label - Benson, but they proved themselves, Friday, to a packed audience in the C.L.E. auditortum. About 500 people came out to see the concert, which was part o f ~ and Key's "Ihe Pledge" tour. rnie theme for the tour is the pledge "He died for me, 111 live for Him." The concert was a full-scale productlon. with a large stage, banners, an impressive IJghting system, and an excellent, (and powerful), sound system. Ve-cy few bands put as much effort into local con- certs. Generally, we are treated as a stop-off, with bare-bones stage setups, ahd short sets. Toe opening act, E.T.W., (a Christian rap group), performed for about 40 minutes, and then Degarmo and Key played for more Ulan 2 hours. They played some stuff from older Degarmo and Key albums, some material from each of Eddie Degarmo and Dana Key's solo albums, and then the new material from 'The Pledge". Dana Key took a bit of time to explain what 'The Pledge" was all about, and then challenged the audience to take the pledge "He (ChrJst] ; died for me, 111 live for Him." Degarmo and Key gave a very powerful concert, both musically and- in message. Hopefully the success of this concert will open the doors to get more 'big name' Christian bands into town.

'Hank' Makes Hall Of Fame in Michigan 1 Dr. H~ruy (Hank) Akervall, professor of Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism at Lakehead University will· be inducted into the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame. Induction ceremonies will take place October 20 m Houghton, Michigan. • Born and raised in Thunder Bay, Hank has been an active force in the athletic community for over 30 years, and was inducted into the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of F~me in 1988. He attended Michigan Tech on a hockey scholarship where he was a member of the U.S. national all-star team for four years and was voted AllAmerican in 1962. He also lettered as a varsity athlete in track and field. Hank received his undergraduate degree •from Michigan Tech in 1962. Dr. HankAkervalljoins a prestigious group of top athletes, coaches and administrators honoured over the past 100 years in Michigan Tech's Sports Hall of Fame. Matmen Drop 8 of 10 to National • Champs ~ L.U.'s 'NorWrestlers' only managed to steal two matches out of 10 this past weekend at the University ofWesternOntario. Craig Har~y beat John Marku decisively in a 7-0 win, and Kevin Middleton squeaked by Mike Ray for a 7-6 victozy. Coach Francis Clayton said that the numbers don't really tell the story. "'We could have won atleast three moreI matches if the ref had of made the calls because the pins were there." We~tern finished in a tie last year with Concordia at the Canadian nationals and only replaced one player on last years roster. Clayton noted that even that one replacement was better than the guy he replaced. V-Ballers Get Opportunity For Revenge at York After coming off a big loss in Winnipeg, the Lady NorWesters are on the road again looking for improved performance to start putting some numbers in the win column. This time out will be no easier as the V-Ballers will come up against the likes of# 1 ranked Manitoba ·and #3 ranked York whose spiking arms are probably stlll sore from the damage they did here two weeks ago when they walked away with the gold medal in the Thanksgiving Invitational. Coach Lapre figures that the team can do well ifthey can sustain the kind of performance that they had in their. scrimmage matches with.Winnipeg. Heather Douglas, a freshman member of the team agrees. . "In a practice situation we're awesome, but when we get out there with fans and hype and keeping score-it's like we lose it." The team will be looking to break the spell this weekend. Family, friends and admirers gathered in the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse this past weekend for a very emotional first inaugural John Zanatta Memorial Night. Zanatta, LU. Nor'Westers third all-time leading scorer died in a car accident near Wawa last Au- gust. The evening, which saw the Lady NorWesters outscore the Alumni squad in a bit of a route ended up a respectable 8659. Julia Scott, a four year L.U. and conference All-star led the scoring for the alumni squad with 15. Leanne Yarrish, last years captain, and CherylKiyluk, a former OUM coach of the year with Western accounted for 13pts each. The home squad was led by popular veteran Kathy Harrison who had 14 and Jen Burgess and Barb Hill who had 15 apiece. The men's game was a bamburner led by Jolm Zanatta~s brother Dave 'Enzo' Zanatta and our own assistant basketbalf coach Jolm Grace. .zanatta did his brother's memory proud with an intense perform- ance that led him to a game leading 30 pts. The L.U. squad saw Foster and Lalonde sink 16pts worth each to seal an exciting 95-90 victory. The night was highlighted by an ~motional centre-court presentation where President Bob Rosehart, Director of Physical Education, Norm Lavoie, and Team Captain Jeff Byerley presented the Zanatta family with John's framed jersey. Z.annata's #30 is the first L. U. jersey to be retired. It will stand proud in the C.J. Sanders Field House and serve as an inspiration to all those who lmew Jolm, and all those who have yet to . hear of him. Stu Julius, coach ofthe Lady NorWesters was one of the people who lmew John the best. •He was an inspiration to everyb<>w" ... "The Jersey hanging up there is a ren:iinder to me that he was here, and that he had a constant positive impact and I think that's important for people to remember." Sports Editorial John zanatta died in a car crash near Wawa this past August. Be was 33. It's clifflcult to wrtte about death. It's much easier to ignore it. From the writer's perspective, fears of insulting family and friends of the deceased often override attempts to do sufficient justice to his/her memory and consequently nothing gets said. Well, something is . telling me I can't let that happen here. I never lmew John Zanatta. But from all that I have heard about him, I can say that I knew a man very much like him. My father died in Toronto two years ago when I was up here goJng to school. Listening to Mrs. Zanatta ·pour her heart out on the fleldhouse floortheothernightbroughtback many memories of him. It also brought back a feeling of pride. You see, my father, like John Zanatta, was a sports personality. Like Zanatta he had distinguished himself in his sport, and had made many life long friends and ·admirers of teammates and opponents alike. Like John Zanatta, my Dad had a charisma that made him very special and a tireless energy for any worthy cause he could help with, especially if_it combined his two favourite things: kids and sports. I never had the opportunity to get tolmowJohnZa.natta, buthislife touched me anyway. I hope that in these few words I have come close to capturing some of his greatness. Ch«!ers John, you will be missed by many.

Six teams and some individuals were well represented at the event in all three of the categories of the race: the 4man relay, the obseived trials, and the go-slow race. The event got started at 1:00 pm and was rushed due to impending problem of 400 - 500 elementary school children running along a similar course as that of the mountain classic. With the great skill of the riders no small children had to be removed from the course. The winning team in the relay was the Ferrel Swamp Rats, composed of Kevin Clark, Brent Sereres, Don Newman, and Bill Lockwood in a time of 30 minutes and 50 seconds. The second place team was team Harold, composed of Craig Mount, Colin P. Walsh, Reed Russel, and Mark Thibault, the third place team was Team Petris. The second event, the goslow race was won by Liz Schober of team Oogy ·Oogy, followed by Kevin Clark and Colin P. Walsh.

You may experience splittlng head aches. as though someone buried an axe deep into your "squab"; neck and shoulder muscles so tight that you walk with a permanent shrug; periods of fatJgue coupled with crankiness or perhaps, the odd tantrum or two; a decrease in your sexual performance which has led your partner to hold a mirror under your nose or scramble for your vital signs. Yes! These are the horrors of stress as brought on by the rigors of graduate study. "My god!" you shriek. "how can I combat these perilous pitfalls of prodigious pressure?" Well. one way would be to convince your professors· to reduce your workload and relax the criteria · necessary- for graduating. Perhaps a note from your partner might help in this endeavour but it isn't likely to happen. A second and more constructive method is through physical exercise and participation in sports. for this letter. I have recently been appointed the sports representative of the Graduate Students Association and asked to organu.e sports events. tournaments and leagues for graduate students. Now, we only have about 100 graduate students so there is not much to •organize but it is more than'! can do alone. Ifwe want to enjoy a good year of sports then I would like to ask grad students for their suggestions as to what.they would like to do this year and for their participation in organizing activities. If you have an idea for an event. tournament or league. contact me and we'll chat. Currently there has been considerable interest shown in the formation of a squash league. If anyone has any idea of how they would like to see it run. or would like to help in its organization it would be appreciated. l can usually be contacted at the foiiowmg numbers: 622-6667 (home) or 343-8095 (office).

Hunking who was VP Student Issues was removed from office after an impeachment vote held at an emer_gency meeting February 3rd. JeanJ. Begin, Chairman of the LUSU Board of Directors released a statement concerning the impeachment. On January 24, 1991, a motion was brought to the board of directors (B.O.D.) informing them that there might be sufficient information to hold an impeachment hearing concerning Hunking. At the time allegations were brought to the board with the end result being that the •board voted in favour of holding a special meeting to hear evidence on these allegations. The date set February 3rd was ten days after the first motion was_putforth, satisfyingthe requirement as per the L.U .S. U. constitution. After that first meeting, Hunking was informed by B.O.D. Chairman Begin that he had the opportunity to retain counsel during the February 3rd meeting. At the February 3rd meeting, L.U.S.U. was represented by Mr. Bob Edwards while Hunking was represented by roomate Micheal Overy. At the start of the meeting Hunking was asked by Edwards if he wished more time to prepare his 'defense.· Hunking said no. The hearing was not conducted as a courtroom hearing is, each member of the B.O.D. was allowed to ask as many questions as were necessary to make an informed decision. UNEXPLAINED ABS·ENCES The following is a list of the allegations discussed at the meeting: 1.

HistOfy: Celebration ~hrough' Education I I I• I L I' by Dana Davidson In general when one thinks of Black names 11ke Afro-American, African and West Indian readily come to mind. Rarely does one ever think of Canadian Blacks and their history. In keep~ with .AFCASA's theme of education as well as celebration during Black History Month, the following is a list of dates and facts dealing with sfgnificant events within the Black experience in Canada, and specifically in Ontario. 1628--"OliverLeJeune" a young boy ts the first Black to be transported dJrectly from Africa to New France as a slave. 1793--Parliament of Upper Canada passed an act to "prevent the further in· troduction of slaves." while Negro settlement in Toronto beg1Iis with the early Slaves of Officials in the town of York in 1793. 1812-1850-·Blacks settle at Welland, St. Catbertnes, Colchester, Windsor, Amherstburg(where tobacco as a crop was introduced by Kentucky and Virginia Blacks. as well as a White Virginia settler), near London, Chateau. Dresden. Toronto, Oro and Queen's Bush. Black owned farms were situated as far north and east as Penetanguishene, Collingwood, Owen Sound and Barrie. 1840--The British-Ameri- can Institute. known as Devon, established .near Chatham as a schpol for-Blacks. Blacks settled around the school raised crops and built mills. 1850--Fugitive Slave Act passed in the United States causing a great influx of Black refugees into British North America. The Black population in Toronto rose to 1,000 in the 1850's. , Separate School Act passed in Upper Canada which permitted any five black families to ask for the establishment of a school for themselves. In Upper Canada numerous examples existed of tax-paying Black families being denied the right to equal education. 1851--Voice of the Fugt~ . a newsheet edited by Henry Bibb, for exiled Blacks begins publication in Windsor. It lasted until 1853. Harriet Tubman, the celebrated conductor of the Underground Railroad. moves to St. Cathertnes to begin 7 years of guiding fugitive slaves into the Provin_ce. An estimated 30000 Blacks resided in Upper Canada by 1851. 1863-•The Emancipation Proclamation is proclaimed in the United States. As a result many escaped slaves returned to the U.S. Fearful white Canadians worried that there would be a large wave of Blacks entering Canada. To prevent this they made lt more difficult f~r Blacks to enter community schools and refused them work. There was a steady decline in the Black population of Ontario until after 1900when West Indian and American Blacks were brought in to help bµild the railroads and other· industries. 1894--William B. fJubbard was the first Black elected to Toronto's City Council and served until 1903. 1920--the Ku IQux IQan entered Canada. 1930--In Colchester, police patrolled parks and beaches to prevent Blacks from using them, On February, 28th, the Ku Klux Klan paraded openly through Oakville and btlpled a cross on the main street to protest inter-racial mamage. 1940--Initiallythe Canadian army rejected Black volunteers to serve in Worfd War II. but as th~ •.v as progressed they were accepted into both the regular army and the Officer Corps. 1944--Ontario passed the Racial Discrim.fnation Act. 1955--The Union won for sleeping car porters the light of promotion to condu~tor and in 1957 to other positions. Late in the year the federal government agreed to admit 100 domestics _each year from Barbados and Jamaica. 1958--Ontario established the Anti-Discrimination Commission which in 1961 became the Human . Rights Commission. 1967--The new Immigration Act. with greater em· phasis on-manpower needs and family relationships was passed. The result has been a great influx of West Indian tmmigrants. 1967-70--43777 West Indian immigrants entered Canada 68% settled .in Ontario.

Spectftcally, many universities have dealt with the problem of student run organizations and the image they leave the school with. Last year, Lakehead witnessed this first-hand when the Engineering Student Society was forced to chang~ •its logo because it left the school with a lot of bad press. Conversely, campus papers have been heavily scrutinized over the past decade. tn an effort.to make them "cleaner" and more responsible. In fact, all campus groups_have to be held accountable to the students (this applies to Student governments especially). Philosophically speaking this is an easy principle to follow, but practically speaking 1t iS veiy dJfllcult to define degrees of accountability. Earlier this year, LUSU was left 1n the awkward position of defining a separate policy for the Argus. Naturally, drawtng up an Argus policy was necess_a ry because the paper ls subsidized by the students, and requires at least some scrutiny. Two weeks ago, LUSU presented a policy to the Argus which they thought would make the paper more accountable to the students. This policy was dropped by LUSU because of the aggressive response of the Editors of the paper--they wanted to empha~tze that editorial control has to be given to the members of the newspaper, and not the Student Union Board of Directors. ThiS ts fundamental because the Rrimaiy mandate of the student newspaper iS to report on issues and events that deserve publictztng; this applies to good news and bad. If (as the proposed policy would do), the Editor-in-Chief can be impeached by the Board of Directors, then this boils down to intimidation. The Argus Editor is elected democratically by the members of the paper and subsequently iS respon- • sible for upholding the mandate of the paper for the members. If the threat of Impeachment by an outside orgaruza- ~~ • '11 ••• - tion (like LUSU) hangs over the head of an editor, then it becomes its own form of unconscious censorship. The Argus already has strict guidelines for editorial jobs, which includes an internal impeachment process. Toe Argus is open to the idea of having an advtsoiy committee made up of students to assist the development of the paper and provide non-bias input. But this committee should not (as some members ofLUSU are proposing), have the power to fire anyone elected to a position on the paper because they may have done something wrong. The power to investigate any wrong-doing on the paper must rest solely with the members of the paper~ One LUSU Board member asked "what if eveiyone on the paper are assholes?" ThiS logic ts as ludicrous as suggesting that everyone on the LUSU Board are assholes (since the LUSU Board have the power to impeach on of their own}. The Argus ts simply asking for the same right. Following the libel laws of Canada, and maintatning a statement of principles is still an important part of the way this paper ts run. Any form of outside_censorship will not have an effect on those principles. In solidarity... Faisal Ali HOMOPHOBIA - L.U. 'S ATTITUDES;: "IN THE CLOSET"? gender.

No! Homophobia ts the problem. It's a sickness, a deep-brooding fear. a sort of social UNconsciousness. Labelling homosexuality as the pro9Iem iS not unlik.~ saying ~ t the only problem with ractsm ts that there are black people in the • world. Homophobia is an irrational fear of homosexuality. It tncludes the fear of heterosexuals have .of any homosexual feeltngs within themselves. any mannerisms that would suggest homosexuality in themselves, and the resulting desire to suppress or stamp out homosexuality all together. It also includes the self-hatred and self-denial of homosexuals who know what they are, but have been taught all their lives by a heterosexual society that people like themselves are sick, stnful and crimtnal. The key problem with homophobia is that in general people's fears suppress and (abel •"wrong" the real emotions and states-of-mind of lesbians and homosexuals, some ofwhom may not yet have "come out". The matter of sexuality is a tender one for everyone to grow up and adapt tcr. Those who grow up with the feeling that something ts "different" about themselves (Le. they're attracted to their own sex). are even more fragµe in the destructive hands/voices of our societies. Homophobia ts not historically new. and it is definitely not just a local social ailment: it is not a domtnantly feminist tssue, it is a people's i ~ . but a great deal of the problem stems from that forbidden word, PATRIARCHY Male supremacy, sexism, and homophobia are society's reactions to those women and men whose lifestyles challenge its confining aggressive male/passive female sex roles. Gay women challenge male supremacy in society: by choosing to love and devote most of their energy to other women, lesbians are refusing to feed into a system where power and prestige are based on gender, and where a woman takes her status from the man she is attached to. Similarly gay men, through their open show of warmth and emotionality (characteristics which have traditionally been considered feminine). they deny the importance of the "masculine identity" others struggle so hard to achieve. Another element of a homophobe's view is rooted in an inner fear. of experiencing sexual relations with their own tends to condemn any sexual relations which are not attned at multiplying this IN-humane species of ours ... Let's face facts: Pleasure IS pleasure: where we each might get it and feel emotionally, spiritually and physically content varies amazingly: And where can the Justice be found in society's condemning and oppressing us so intensely that we are unable to come to an honest and op.e n self-understanding? There are no true spiritual freedoms to be experienced by perlectly healthy and lovtng human beings if they allow society to muzzle them! The vocal platform of our times is generally held by the majortty ...True? Fair? Heterosexuals are statistically the majority, but homosexuals are real Why, otherwise, would they cast themselves tnto such a sore spot tn society? It 1s a fact that one in ten people are of gay-orientatlon...Yes, we have numbers, tool How does this all relate to our precious Lakehead University, other than by its pop~atlon's universality in attitude? Let me list a few items of interest around campus: There are no avenues of gay-information networks advertised (Other than the walls of the walls of the bathroom stalls, in the "Ladies", above the pub!}. There is, nonetheless. a gay comm.unity in Thunder Bay! There are no avenues, on campus, acknowledged for people to "come out" as gay: no literature can be found (i.e. visible pamphlets, etc.) even in the Student Services/Health Centre shelves. and there are no support groups formed. Gays are really not acknowledged on campus ... One good route to turn to is the GLTB office on Bay St .. tn Port Arthur (1.e. Gays and Lesbians of Thunder Bay) - Reach out to them if you need help, support or information! During AIDS Awareness Week. the GLTB had a table set up tn the Agora, at which information about Lesbianism and Homosexuality were openly available. Another beautiful ray of light to be seen on our campus! I am fully aware that there am a lot of open-minded and supportive heterosexuals out there, but the scales of happiness are not quite balanced enough at this point. .. Homophobic minds are minds in the dark: they're minds in the closet .. .It's due time that some keys are found, some anciently closed doors opened up, and some statesof-mind enlightened. If the general outlook of people opens up, there will be a lot less emotionally plagued, suppressed and condemned homosexuals around, and a lot more happy faces and a brighter tomorrow to be seen. Help promote peace of mind.

MATMEN LOOK FOR STRONG PERFORMANCE AT·OUAA'S L.U.'s Grapplers travel to Brock this weekend for the Ontario University Athletic Association Wrestledowns and coaches Francis Clayton and Jim Gowanlock are hoping for a strong team effort. In what has largely been a rebuilding year for L.U.'s wrestling squad, Clayton says that a fourth place finish out of the ten Ontario teams that will attend would be a positive showing. L. U. will fill nine out of the ten weight classes at the event and Clayton is confident that the majority of the team will finish high enough to qualify for the Canadian Nationals which are slated-for March 2nd and 3rd in Regina. Only the top three wrestlers in each weight cla~s get CIAU invitations, so wrestlers are understandably pumped at the Ontario's. Jim Gowanlock describes the competition like this: "The problem with wr~stling 1/> that its such an indMdual sport. Its not like basketball where one guy's down and evecyone else can carcy him. You go into a match and you're not up, you lose.'' The Argus Sports desk wishes the team good luck at Brock and knows the team will do us proud.

Good luck in the playoffs Ladies. MEN CAGERS DROP TWO IN WESTERN by Ian Fero Considering the fact that our men's varsity basketball team lost both games against Western the past Friday and Saturday on their court, the weekend was not a total failure. Going into the weekend affair the Westers were confidant that they could steal at least one game from the #2 nationally ranked Mustangs. Friday night it looked as if it may have come true. The men came out strong and cleaned the glass with authority. The effort was not meant to be though as they could not close • the gap within four points before finally bowing out 78-65. Coach Lou Pero was pleased with the game as they held the Mustangs (who averaged 95 points on 53% field goal · shooting this year) to 78 points on 37% field goal percentage. • Saturday proved to be an offensive affair where our men realized the scoring prowess of their foes losing 97-73. Individually, Leslie Ragguette continued his offensive explosion netting 22 points in both games while swiping 19 rebounds. Jeff Byerley returned to action after missing a pair of games with a nagging finger injucy. He went on to score 14 points Friday and 19 points Saturday despite being hampered by a minor back problem.

Over the past ten years a resurgence into the health importance of the seasons has prompted scientific investigation. These scientlflc findings have shown that there are individuals who experience some alteration in mood or behaviour as a result of seasonal changes. These seasonal changes have been classified ai:l seasonai affective disorder (SAD). Individuals with SAD experience lower energy levels, difficulty concentrating and getting one's work done, as well ~ a decrease in physical activity 'a nd sociability. These people also experience a change in eating habits in the form of increased carbohydrate craving. Foods such as potatoes, bread, pasta an4 especially sweets appear to energize the individual when e,sperlenctng lower energy levels. A substantial number of patients with SAD ex.. perlence a seasonal cycle of highs and lows. In addition to suffering from recurring episodes of seasonal affective disorder, these people also experience a significant increase in energy and mood change during the summer months: there seems to be a reversal of the winter pattern. These individuals generally report weight loss, increased activity, and the decreased need for sleep at this time. It is possible that these opposite moods and behaviours occurring in different seasons are the body's attempt to maintain an overall affective balance. Soon after tnvestlgatlon into SAD it became evident that there were many people with a milder form of SAD. This $ilder form has been • classified as the "winter blues". These individuals experience moderate forms of SAD symptoms which are troublesome but not serious enough to take to a physician.

This pattern of seasonal change tends to have an oc~urrence of at least 2 years in continuum. Many therapeutic treatments for SAD and the milder form of the condition known as the "winter blues" have been investigated. These treatments have consisted of the administration of indoor exposure to artificial sources of full spectrum florescent lights. This therapeutic intervention is unique in that it is non-pharmacological, Inexpensive, and safe. The effectiveness of light therapy, also called phototherapy, was investigated for the possibility of extending the photoperiod of an individual; thus simulating the amount of light exposure experienced in the summer. Many other experiments with light therapy have shown success in treating the symptoms associated with SAD and the "winter blues". 0 Dear Hard Up, lfhe says he's nervous, he's nervous.

Approximately 42 people, francophones and anglophones alike, showed their opposition to the resolution that COLT spokesman and History qepartment head Ernie Epp called "... a gratuitous slap at the Provincial Liberal government and an unnecessary statement." • Participants sang the National Anthem.in both English and French. as well as a number of traditional French folksongs. Many participants discussed the place of French in a multicultural C~ada, especially at this time of constitutional crisis.After the city council meeting, Mayor Jack Masters spoke out in favour of the vigil. The Mayor stated that although city coun~illors had passed the resolution in order to save money, it had actually cost Thunder Bay economically. Many groups have boycotted conferences originally b_ooked in the city, and other organizations are hesitant at bringing outsiders in. A particular example is the Le~~d Society's Convention, which was originally supposed to he held at Lakehead University.

A.A. Vanderv~en aax .30 -- the Bmgo. With this in mind, Todays recipe comes from Marsha Brady. It is called ·DEAD-MAN PIE". I asked Marsha how this meat pie got its unusual name and I was told the following stoiy. About 15 years ago. Mrs. Johnson (Marsha's 2nd cousin twice removed) became a widow. ('lbe details of Mr. Johnson's demise are quite comical if not absolutely incredible, however, there is no correlation between the late Mr. Johnson and "DEAD-MAN PIE" apart from the fact that Mr. Johnson is a dead m~). After Mr. Johnson's cessation of life. the Widow Johnson took her large inheritance and moved to a small retirement community in Winter Haven. Florida. Upon her arrival, the Widow Johnson was greeted by six handsome widowers who promptly_invited her to a potluck dinner and Bingo. At the dinner, the veiy attractive and sexy Widow Johnson was constantly sur- . rounded by the six widowers, much to the disgust of the other widows at the dinner. Wanting desperately to impress the Widow Johnson, each of the widowers ate a large portion of her meat pie, (then known as Johnson pie), and left nothing of it for anyone else to sample. During the arousing and hJghly competitive bingo game all six of the widowers developed severe cramps, diarrhea, and nausea. They were rushed to the hospital and five of the six expired. During the investigation into the deaths, one of the disgusted widows at the dinner was noted as saying "It was that Johnson whore that poisoned the boys, her and her DEAD-MAN PIE." Hence the name "DeadMan Pie". As it turned out, the pie was not responsible for the five deaths. It seems that the six widowers had fancied the Widow Johnson and figured at least one of them might get lucky after they were not going to take any chances and the six of them spent the afternoon before the dinner eating oysters. The oysters were improperly cooked causing food poisoning and, of course, death. The Widow Johnson (now the Widow Rodgers) married the survivor and eveiy Sunday afternoon for ~e years Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers ate "Dead-Man Pie". Here's the recipe. I hope you like it, I certainly did. There lias been much attention paid to this group in the music press, so I was looking forward to listening to this debut. After a few listens. I had a hard time trying to pin a label on this band's music. The best I could come up with was that Mother Love Bone's music was comprised of the singing style of a laid-backAxl Rose or Ian Astbury of the Cult. the guitaring of Led Zepplin. and an overall feel of a mainstream Jane's Addiction. Not exactly a clear picture. If I had to pick one artist that they do resemble I would have to say the Cult in some ways. What is really amazing about this record is how all the songs seem to form one continuous musical flow. Each song blends in with the next. The amazing part is that some songs are rock-oriented while others are much slower paced. Therefore, it is more enjoyable to listen to the record as a whole DEAD-MAN PIE Combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup dty bread crumbs, 1/ 4 cup grated onion, 1/ 4 cup chopped green pepper, 1 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. oregano, 1/8 tsp. pepper and 1/ 2 of a 7 1/2 oz. can of tomato sauce. Mix well. Pat meat mixture into bottom and sides of greased deep 9-inch pie plate. Combine 1 1/2 cans (7 1/2 oz. each) tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 1 1/3 cups Minute Rice, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Spoon into meat shell. Cover with alwninum foil. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover and top with 4 to 6 tomato slices and sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer. To serve, cut into wedges. Serves 5 or 6. rather than only one Qr two songs. The only really negative thing about the record is that it lacks any "killer" songs. Sure, some songs I prefer over others and my favourites are "Man of Gold~n Words", "This is ·,shangrila". and "Stardog Champion", but there aren't any songs that become embedded in your head. I would recommend this album to those people who like, let's say, psychedelic rock? The only dn!wback is that if you really enjoy the music you may have to be content in listening only. to this album. Toe reason for this is that the lead singer and lyricist of Mother Love Bone, AndrewWood, died last year ll February 14. 1991 BONE and whether or not the group will continue is,up in the air. It's a shapie that a tragedy such as this had to happen to a band that had a fair amount of talent ana deserved the recognition they had received.

This attitude is slowly changing and greatly aiding this change is Harry Connick Jr. Connick, a young (born 1968) and extremely talented gentleman. Playing the piano, singing old standards as well as composing his own pieces in the old style certainly proves that the big band.Jazz and swing era ls alive and kicking. And so ts the romance that went along with it. Connick's fourth album we are in love (released 1990), is perfect for setting that Valentine's Day mood. The songs mainly written and/or arranged by Connick himself are all about love: be it the perfect love, lost lQVe or a temporary love. What makes this album so romantic is not so much the lyrics, which are often cliche, as the presentation. Underlying most .of the pieces is either a swing qr jazz beat that is always perfect for dancing cheek to cheek, just as Rogers and Astaire did in ~e thirties and forties. Harry ts helped out on this album by a full orchestra as well as some very talented musicians, including the up and coming Branford Marsalis who does two very touching tenor sax solos on the old standard "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and Conntck's "I'll Dream of You Again." Conntck's own lyrics range from the very powerful sentimentality of ..Drtfting", ..Just a Boy", and the sombre "Buried in Blue" to the delightful silliness of "Heavenly", "Recipe for Love", and "I've Got a Great Idea." All in all, when it comes to setting that romantic mood this Valentine's Day, we are in love is an excellent choice.

Love: The Keeper Of The Love Shackl Rock 'n roll in general suffered from a severe case of the ZZZ's in the early 70's with the exceptions of some great folkies like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the funky soul bands (The Temptations, Gladys Knight and The Pips, etc.) and the bluesy, heavy metal sound of Led Zeppelin. Oops, and we can't forget David Bowie! Unfortunately, mediocrity triumphed onAM radio, and, as a result, we are blessed with this collection, a mixed bag of the groovy, the blah and the outright snoozers of early 70's Canadian rock. • I played this tape with an open mind, hoping to discover that my prepubescent tastebuds were somehow prejudiced and my matured musical judgment would dissolve those old perceptions. This is what I discovered: 1) If one runs out of words in the middle of a song. just interject in between verses with a few "La La Las" or "Doo Doo Doos" or repetitions of a phrase ad nauseam ("Ljke you do, like you, like you do ... "). 2) Can't think of a new, imaginative word that rhymes with "long hair"? Just stick a 'yeah" at the end of each line and, hopefully, no one will notice. 3) The general public must have loved long, dragged-out, pretentious, useless guitar solos in those days. 4) Men with long hair and beards were usually trying to hide their buck teeth. O.K., so I'm nit-picking. This collection isn't 1ba1 disgusting. In fact, you may discover a few sunny spots in an otherwise murky period in rock'n roll. For example, Crowbar released the definitive Canadian party tune in 1971. (Never mind Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell") "Oh What a Feeling" mixes shout-along lyrics and borrows generously from James Brown to create a fabulous dance tune. Unfortunately, it's burdened with the worst beginning ever· recorded in modem music. But, "don't ever be a do-do":just sµffer through tt and I promise you won't be disappointed. Play loud. ' Another gem is R Dean Taylor's "Indiana Wants Me", brought to you by the same guy who helped write ..Love Child" for the Supremes. He has a lmack for creating great "sociological" dramas and has groovy Bobby Goldsboro hair, too. Other genuinely listenable songs include Keith Hampshire's version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest" (which beats out Rod Stewart's weenie version any day), Lighthouse's "One Fine Morning". and Ian Thomas' "Painted Ladies", although the last two tunes suffer from the aforementioned "I've-run-out-of-things-to-say" syndrome. Some of the selections appear to be compromises, understandably because of a problem obtaining the rights. Probably, as a result. Edward Bear's "You, Me and Mexico" is included instead of "Last Song" (who would ever name a band after Winnie-the-Pooh?) and the Guess Who is conspicuously absent. We are also inflicted with a few ZZZ-inducing tunes like the Stampeder's "Sweet City Woman", Copperpenny's ..Sitting on a Poor Man's Throne" and some really dumb-dumb-dumb selections like ..Could You Ever Love Me Again" by Gary and Dave and "Su,n Goes By" by Dr. Music (but, if you're into songs that' sound like car commercials. who am I to dispute your taste?). So. if nostalgia makes you feel all warm and sloppy inside, then sit back, kick off your Pepsi-Cola platform sneakers and enjoy. It just might tum your mood rtng blue. ,., � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"The situation is no different for female students. On average female students earn less than men and have less secure jobs." Statistics Canada reports that out of 192,016 parttime students in 1983, 97,000 were women. By 1989, the number of women studying part-time had jumped to 170,500 - representing 65 per cent of the total part-time student population. More women have to study part-time because they face more financial difficulties than men, Duncan said. The federation is conducting a study to find out exactly how much less women students earn in summer jobs than men. ..Prellminary results show by Heidi Modro MONIREAL (CUP) -With the Canadian economy plunging into a recession, more and more women will be forced to study part-time, the Canadian Federation of Students says. Already 60 per cent of part-time Canadian students are women and that percentage will probably rise as female students lose their Jobs and find it harder to find work, said Caryn Duncan, a CFS researcher. "More women study parttime because they can't afford the costs of a full-time education," Duncan said. "The recession is coming along and is already worsening women's poor financial situation." Duncan said women have so far been harder hit by the recession than men. "Women in general tend that women generally earn less money during the summer and have to necessarily make up for any shortfall by working more parttime hours in the fall," she said. , In summer jobs created through the federally-funded Summer Employment/Experience Development program, women don't fare as well as men. In 1989, women earned 50 cents less per hour than men in SEED Jobs, according to a CFS report. There are more women studying part-time because many have children and are saddled with child care responsibilities, said Denise Louvain, a part-time social work professor at the Universite de Montreal. "Most universities have very bad child-care facilities." Louvain said. "If you have a child and want to study full-time it is very difficult to find someone to take care of that child. Usually the woman will just choose to stay home with the child and try to work out something with her husband relative, or friend so she can attend classes at least some of the time." , Toe problem is even more acute for single mothers who not only have to find child care but also have to hold down a part-time job because Quebec's loans and grants program is not adequate. "Over the past decade, we've noticed that more single women with chil'ilren are going back to school, .. Louvain said. "But the province's loans and bursaries system barely lifts a woman and her child above the poverty line. I know a case of one single-mother for whom it took eight years to·get her Bachelor's because she had to hold down a fulltime Job as a secretary in order to live comfortably with her child."

A total of 65 short-term labour intensive projects in 27 municipalities have been approved totalling $94 million. According to Colleges and Universities Minister Richard Allen, the projects are expected to create a total of 42515 person-weeks of employment which includes $54 million for specific major projects and$ 40 million for maintenance and renovation projects. "Colleges and universities play a significant role in the economic well-being of their communities. Tilis funding will make a big difference in the lives of many .workers and the communities they live in, while providing longterm benefits to our postsecondary system" the Minister said. I Lakehead had two proj- I ects approved including a $1.6 million renovation to I Cornwall School and de- I ferred maintenance projects totalling $550000. In the I case of Cornwall, a "Condi- I tion Study" finalized last fall identified a long list of necessary renovations for the 87 year old structure: upgrading to meet code deficiencies, handicap accessibility and reconditlontng'the outside of the building and some grounds work. The approved deferred maintenance grant will help, but falls short of the University's orJginal proposal which tnciuded. a 5-year maintenance plan totalling $4 million.

Why? Because of the number of fights and the amount of vandalism associated with the Study. the university holds of the liquor licence for the Study and they have the authority to· close it if they feel it is necessary. LUSU operates the pub and it is our. Job to make sure that we never give the university the reason to close it. So from now on, ~yone caught fighting of inciting a fight in the Study will not only be banned from the, pub but will also be chaiged under the Code of Student Behaviour and Disciplinary Procedures. Under the Code, a studentcan be assessed a fine as wen as given community service. If the fine is not paid or the hours assessed are not worked, the indMdual involved will not graduate or receive a transcript. The pun1shment is assessed ancr meted out by the university, not the Student Union. Furthermore, ff you sign a guestrin who starts a fight or commits an act of vandalism on campus, you are responsible and can also be charged under the act; the person who w~ ~ed-in will be dealt with by the police.

This ends up costing each student on campus one way or another. Either LUSU covers the cost, in which case it means fewer services or higher prices, or the university pays, then the campus as a whole suffers. There is so much damage done to glass • each year that the institution tenders the contract to replace windows and doors. It will cost close to $40,000 this year. The estimated cost of an elevator in the Saunders building, to make it accessible to handicap students, is $80,000 or two years of shattered glass. We at LUSU do not believe in the concept of collective guilt, but if the type of battles that have occurred in the bar in the last few weeks continue, we may shut the doors ourselves. People are being injured and the cost of replacing damaged property is becoming too htgli. We cannot afford this kind of behaviour in tbe new Student Centre, • 111.1 .& V'lClOBlA AV&. . . , .....

On an equally sombre note, it ts now official that the Canada Employment Centre on Campus (CECOC) will be closing sometime in the next t.l)ree years. As of yet we have not been told any dates or what level of service is to be maintained during the closure. Michline Rachette, the ofilcJal spokesperson for the Minister of State for Youth used the Nielson Report of 1986 as the ex-. cuse for the shutdown. I will not call her a liar. since that would be slanderous. The information that I have received from various sources indicates that the decision was made at the b\.fI'eaucratic level in December ·= of last year. Under the , Nielson Report, 30% of the budgets for CECoc•s have already been cut sometime ago. There ts no document that I lmow of with a Minister of the Crown's signature on tt -· 1• which states government policy as being .that of a .,,, closure. Ms. Rachette . had a yelling contest with her over the phone on • Feb. 22, 1991) prefers the euphemism of 'consolidation' to closure. So when the locks on the doors of the Employment centre are changed and all the staff have been dispersed to the four corners of the: Earth, the Centre is not closed but consolidated. The Feds, even when confronted with justtft- • able arguments on why the CECOC should be kept open, would not budge. The regional· manager in Thunder Bay for the Mtnistry of Employment did not Wish to close the Centre, but he was vetoed by Ottawa. When pointed out that our employment centre co-ordinates all the Canada Employment Centres for the region, Rachette satd the main ofilce will take on this task. When questioned on the governments commitment to students and Post Secondary Education. Michline replied that the same level of service would be maintained at the other offices in Thunder Bay. Again, I will not call her a liar. How does the government expect employers, like IBM, who are looking for a variety of grads in differing fields. to establish contact and set up interviews with students on campus ff there is no Employment Centre? I quizzed the irrepressible M. Rachette on how the communtty would be expected to assist the government in its much flaunted Stay in School Programme ff the message it is sending ts ·once you get to university, go t9 hell, we couldn't gtve a damn about you'.

Instead of taking a preventative approach to unemployment, the government is now going to shift resources to processing UI claims for students who could not find work because they shut down the employment Centre, which the university lets them have rent free. It will end up costing them more money to move the Centre than t o leave it where it is right now.

He said lt could take up to-three years to put out the fires. Now for the bad news. During the next stx months "It wUl be hard to get them out of their bunkers." This was the reaction of the president of the Canadian Consumers Association 1n Ottawa, to The 1991 Budget read in the House of Commons. He was not referring to Iraqi soldiers but to Canadian consumer's reaction to the barrage of the Goods and Services Tax and the aforementioned budget. It may not be so ironic how military metaphors lend themselves to the issue of the country's economy. On the Post-secondary Education Front, the Premier of Ontario, Bob Rae (NOP), defended Ontario's recent 8% tuition Increase by saying "There 1s no free lunch. There ~ever was a free lunch and there certainly isn't a free lunch now." ~e NDP government has tgnored"party pollcy, broken its election promise, and insulted Ontario's students by suggesting they wanted a "free ride". The Ontario Federation of Students Chairperson, nm Jackson, calls the comment "offensive and should be retracted." The Federal Budget brought down in the Ottawa House of Commons this week was charactertzed by the Canadian Federation of Students' (CFS) Chairperson, Jane Arnold, as "just one indication of how shortsighted this government really is" . Canada's Finance Minister, Michael Wilson (PC). continued the federal government's "attack on post-secondary education by extending the present two year freeze on federal transfer payments for untversittes and colleges to five years", states the CFS. The Canadian Government of Brian Mulroney will cut $775 million from post-secondary education 1n 1992-93 alone. Students-will pay 8% more in Ontario for $775 million less of education (nationally). Over five years they expect to recapture $3.8 billion. The CFS's Jane Arnold's pleads that "students represent canada's single most Important investment in the future: our ability to compete and prosper." Compete and prosper. It would appear these two levels of government have formed a "Coalition" to ,"prosecute to the fullest their resolutions to knock out the ability of any (student) to Command and Control" their future. Students can anticipate a greater percentage will only be able to attend part-tlme. It will take longer to complete their education, thereby r~uctng their earnings over the long tenn. Facilities will 1¥tve to be replaced or upgraded at a lower rate. ·• All this ls because of ·the deficit" and the need to reduce it, or so we are told.

Well, Premier Bob, if there "has never been a free lunch" for students in the past, why should students have to pay for your free lgnches now? Growing up, I was always told that if I wanted to have those extra-special things that I wanted, I would have to babysit. mow a lawn, deliver papers, rake leaves or earn extra money somehow because there were rio free lunches. 1bat was a lie. There were. It's Just that now the free lunches are all gone and now 1.btx want 111 to pay the bill. Remember these years well.

Oh Canada, Our Home and Native Land? I By Noel Ward On Februazy 21, former Minister of Northern Native Affairs for the Province of Manitoba. Elijah Harper spoke to a small crowd in the Ryan Building. Harper, himself a Native, came into the limelight last summer when he blocked the Meech Lake Accord from passing in the Manitoba Legislature. • Last week, Harper was here at Lakehead to discuss Native Self-Government and the importance of education. ,Having Self-Government would mean that the Natives would manage their own affairs, develop their institutions and control their own destiny. It 1s a matter that ......-. should begin at the community level, through education. as Governments cannot legtslate respect and dignity. Harper was very optimistic about the concept of Native self- government. pointing out that Natives are simply striving for that which has already been fought for and achieved by non-native Canadians -- the right for all to be treated equally and fairly. However, despite this common desire, the relationship between Native and nonnatives bas "not been that great." Rather, it has lead to resentments and misunderstandings. As it now stands, only the federal and provincial governments have the jurisdic- tio1,1 to make laws that affect the people of Canada. These laws are often made without regard for the aboriginal peoples, nor do they have any room to make laws to effectively govern themselves. Education, the Key Education. something which Harper stressed greatly throughout his speech. ts vital to Native self-government. Yet. the lack of education, Harper stated, ts the greatest problem facing Native peoples today. He also stressed that contnuy to public opinion, Native people do not get a free education at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. The money for Native education, as well as other government sponsored Native programs was to come from revenue generated from the resources on land acquired by the Canadian government through treaties with the aboriginal peoples. This revenue was guaranteed in those treaties. Harper also pointed out that often the allotted money does not make it to the Native people. It is tied up 1n administration costs of Native programs. In addition he stated that the natives ar.e not receiving all the benefits from those resources that they should be, that the Canadian Govemment has not fulfilled their duties as laid out in the 1!eaties .signed.

The group, organized by hire Natives. Oftenthisisnot the case. Citing Hydro development as an example, Harper explained how Natives do not get choice jobs in these project~ even when they are qualified. For example, many companies demand that their engineers have at least five years experience. As a resuit, newly trained Native engineers are not hired. Tactics such as this consistently block Natives from getting the proper Jobs they are qualified for. Thus, they are forced to continually accept labour intensive Jobs. Unfair practices like these have been repressing Natives, and' government injustices have been preventing the Natives from getting all that they deserve and are entitled to. For these reasons.

Before beginning the march the protestors were challenged by a World War II veteran who condemned their actions. He shouted that if ·the Ger.mans had had knowledge of the Allies plans, the outcome of WWII might have been much dtfferent. Protest organizer • David Ramsay expressed understanding for the veteran's opinions. but suggested that much of the milttary censorship in the Gulf was unnecessazy. Ramsay pointed to cases of suppressed information that had no direct bearing on militazy operations, such as reports of student protests and after the fact reporting of cM11an casualties that have not reached the public. Marching through downtown Port Arthur towards the Courthouse, the group handed out fliers on censorship and received both positive and negative feedback. In front of the Courthouse the group shared their concerns through song and speech.

Checking your speaking notes for an address to the closing banquet of the 1-987 Ontario Federation of Students g_eneral meeting. you stated: "The quality of education you are fi_ghting for will only come when governments are prepared to recognize education as the crucial investmenttn the future that it is. Governments which fail to invest in education • as has been so clearly_the case 1n the past decade - are not snnply short changing a generation of students. They are literally short changing the country." You also noted With respect to "access and accesstbility" that: "I can th1rik of no issue more fundamental to a democratic society. Yet, if you look at the continuing over-reliance on fees by ow public institutions, the extraordtnary debt burden which we are asking each Individual student to carry and the ipcredible barriers to conUnuing education which exist for so many workers as they get older, it 1S clear that the battle for accessibility has yet, to be won." . In your government's recent funding announcement you continued the woefully inadequate fundtngofthepastdecadewhich has led university and college presidents to call for tuition fee increases as a desperate way of raising revenues. Through your eight percent tuttlon fee increase you increased the already enormous barriers to which you reterred above, Jn· October 1988, I attended a rally organized by the Ontario Federation of Students.

I'm only going to warn you once, if a CJ.RI. (Canadian Internal Record Investigator) comes to your home with a fully authorized search and ,p rocure warrant and fails to discover The Tragically Hip's latest album Road.Apples in your possession you will immediately be deported from Canada with out the normally required due process oflawtrltl ..... Soyouhave never heard of the CJ.RI., you thinkl'mjustadeluded irrational Hip junkie eh .... go ahead take the chance you may even get away with it, but wouldn't you rather just be safe and purchase the album? One of the most striking qualities pertaining to the Tragically Hip ts the depth of their lyrics. The album is steeped in Canadiana, without the obvious nationalistic slap in the face delivered by the Stompin' Tom Connors of the world. No other Canadian band has managed to so subtly work Canadian tmage:ry into their music. The perfect example of this is "Born in The Water", a song that comments on the English only law passed in Sault Ste. Marie, or Soo St. Mary which ever appeals most to your linguistic bias~ When the Hip were last Interviewed by the Argus they stated that they hoped to polarize their musical styles. ln other words make the hard stuff harder and the soft stuff softer. They have definitely succeeded in fully exploring the softer, ballad (though they hate the word ballad) oriented side of their talent. Songs Uke "Fiddler's Green" and ''The Last of The Unplucked Gems" are true expressions of the b~ds desire to explore the often cliched ballad format with Integrity and ingenuity. For those fans of that hard.rock southern electric blues sound have no fear there are a number of pounding rhythmic rock sounds included in the package. "Little Bones" and "On The Verge" are absolutely debilitating songs, the respective Intros have a hypnotic effect on the listener sending him immediately down the road of rock ecstasy. For all you English majors out there, who are probably being driven nuts while reading my syntax, there is something for you on this album as well. 1iy if you might to pick out the allusions to Shakespeare through the album. If you're really bored you can stay up all night and write a three page interpretive Critique, I would love to read it (no really I wouldn't but don't let that stop you from enjoying the album). If you recall seeJng any of the recent Hip co11certs you might remember a song Uiat was titled "Crack My Spine Like A Whip". This deliriously energized track was for some godforsaken reason not included on the album. After contacting my lawyer and discovering that a law suit was inappropriate action in response to this short sighted err.or qn the part of the band and their producer I have decided to chastise them publicly in my review. Realizing full well that the future success of the Tragically Hip rests it full weight on .~whether or not they receive a favourable review from the Argus (This is sarcasm for all you people out there who are convinced I am a egomaniac), I will not criticize them to severely. Aside from a few relatively minor disappointments let me assure you that this is one sensational album. A definitive statement from a band that ts quickly becoming representative of the cutting edge in Canadiana influenced Rock and Roll. P.S. Those familiar with their last album, up to here, should watch for more of Gordon Downie's clever word play as was found on ''I'll Believe In You (Or I'll Be ~aving You Tonight)'". Tilis can be found on "Little Bones", a hard rocking song that subliminally makes its point with a sly play on words. RUN - DMC BACK FROM HELL Review by Brian B. I can't really say that I was in the mood to listen to some rap tunes, since I am on an alternative binge these days. But after I sat clown and forced myself to listen to Run-D.M.C.'s new album Back From Hell. I suppose I could give it somewhat of an approval: It's probably better that I elected to do this review, because havtng an open mind definitely helped . Dick Dyck would probably have a discharge if he found this album playing in his cassette deck, and heaven forbid if Travis's deck were to receive such a vile compilation of acoustic assaults on the ears. Toe album didn't really turn my crank, although tt'had a couple of catchy tunes . on it. '"What's It All About", the first single, is likely my favourite from the lot. because it samples the beats and bassllne from The Stone Roses' hit single "Fool's Gold". All through the album, though, it is ~dent that the band is trying to cash in on the "obscene lyrics" craze that most rap artists seem to be on these days. I even saved the little sticker from the plastic wrapping as a memento. The scratches and edits were almost non-extste.n t. save for the odd slip on behalf of the crew's DJ, Jam Master Jay. Said JMJ in the release that accompanied the album "It's good to be back with our people: I want to hear them say "Hey I heard your-ney.r album, and it was defl" or even "I heard your new record and I hated it!" 'That's good for .me." Ya, well. I'll go in between and say I heard Run-D.M.C. 's new record, and some of you will love it, but the majority might find it a little too "'def'. Caveat emptor, folks. I would say this one's only for the serious rap school, like Public Enemy and NWA fans. B B B (three out of five B's.) • A note from Co - News Ed. MC Kenzie. "I Thought The Ave.' was bitchin', it was probably the coolest track on there. They're back, they're bitchin', I would agree with the triple B rating. �ENTERTAJNMENieArgus ' BOOTSAUCE MADNESS!!! lowed me to continue on.

THE Page 13 Februaiy2S. 1991 CONCERT REVIEW by DGrCJI Diem The crowd was eager for Bootsauce-to make their appearance. Three hundred or more fans crowded Into the confines of Crocks n Rolls with the expectancy of having a great time and indeed they did. The setting was strange, with a diversity of peop!e ranging from hard core peadbangers to preppies and everything in between. The ages of the fans varied also from high school seniors to middle aged white collar workers. i The opening band had just finished wanning up Ute crowd and the crowd was yearning for more. The extended area of the stage i;ncorporated most of the dance floor so that little room was left ·for the crowd. Slowly people began to stake out their area in front of the stage. By the time that Bootsauce came out, the dance floor was literally packed with people. • Then the noise began. First it was the crowd with shouting and hollering. Then the moment came when the band started. The music was even niore incredible live. It is very hard to define the Bootsauce sound because of their diversity. In some of the songs seem to have some Red Hot Ch111 Peppers influence, ·like the song "Masterstroke" that has a strong lead bass. The song that introduced them was a slower song, "Come Play With Me" and some faster songs that are all their own, The band consists of two guitar players, a bass player, a drummer, Marc Mywards, and the lead singer-, Drew. One of the guitar players, Sonny, sports dreadlocks ancl a large thick Jacket with white furry shoulders. I-le also had what looked like small skirts attached jus~ below each of his knees in a vibrant purple that matched his guitar. The rest of the bands clothing was made to attract attention, with tight yellow pants and other things that could have been found in a second hand store for the deranged. The music starts and so did the battle to retain your place in the crowd. I was right at the front with the lead mike directly in front ·o fme. Then came a black wave of head bangers that crashed like a tidal wave into the unsuspecting crowd. Waves of push~g and shoving surged throughout the mass. The stage started with a space of ten feet and slowly closed to with a few feet because 6f the pushing. I was told later that many people .could not see, but I was pushed so close that I could even smell the band. The intense heat from the large number of people in the room immediately created a coating of sweat on everyone dancing. The exertion of staying vertical and alive also added to the moisture. As the wave of people crash.eel back and forth, suddenly a single body was thrust above everyone's heads and remained there, floating on the sea of arms and heads to eventually find a home at the back of the crowd. Tilis happened many times as the night progressed. The total abandon of the crowd matched the intensity of the band and their music. The flailing heads and gyrating bodies unified all the different types in the crowd. The surging mass of people gave me bruises that 1 won't soon forget. My only salvation for a time was the mike stand that I used for support to keep myself upright. This did not help as the crowd surged and Drew was dancing and swinging his anns and I was caught on the side of the head with his fist. Another time, I fell flat on the stage and when I rose up from the ground, I felt the bass guitar crack the back of my head. As usual, no permanent injuries were sustained. I hope that none of this scares people away form a Bootsauce concert because I'm sure that the music was very enjoyable in the back of the bar and was probably a lot safer. To sum up, the Bootsauce concert was a total expertence which leaves you exhausted but still wanting more. ·(By the way, Darcy wants the world to know that he is in Engineering n.

A r g u s Page 14 Februaiy28. 1991 · NT IDYL TEA: BAND GOOD ••• NAME BAD by Greg Oppedisano I have yet to encounter a single tndMdual, who when confronted with the name Idyl Tea, didn't tmmecliately come to the conclusion that they were about to hear the music of the latest Canadian rapper. Let me now extend full warning that nowhere on this .self titled debut album will there be found a African Canadian exonerating his better qualities while Insulting his predecessors abilities to do Justa.bout anything. Please note th~t this comment should In no way be construed as a racist one, only a pathetic attempt at humour through the stereotyping of rap music. What you should lmow however, is that Idyl Tea is very much a representative of the growing pool of talented artists to arrive on the Canadian Music scene: Agrass roots band which employs a well rounded mixture of acoustic and electpc guitars to produce a vecy likable sound. Iri accordance with the traditional ' Canadian band, Idyl Tea h~'adopted a seriously strange name. In fact I have officially concluded that they have taken ar,t place from the Northern Pikes In the ever important categocy of: Great Bands With Dumb Names. The album itself contains music which is consistently well ,written. All ls not roses 1n music land as 't he album does contain a couple of dull tracks. "'lbe Heartbeat Song" is an excellent qcample of unimaginative, and unmotivated rock and roll. The lyrtcs drone on and on and on and ... and the guitar riffs are pretty boring to. "Mr. Air Toaffic Controller", and "Sad So Long" are songs to be filed In that tedtbus Failed Experiments Categocy. These lulls are remarkably contrasted by a number of truly great songs. The first single off the album, •oh Brother", is an by Chris Williams excellent example ofldyl Tea's ability to mix lyrtcs and music to You've seen the posters. You've prQbably subconsciously thought. "tie me to a pig and produce a emotional response from the listener. roll me in the mud. if that guy doh't look like George Michael's stunt double." He's not "Telephone Call From God Knows Where" is my personal however. (although he speaks with a thick Manchesterlan accent). His name is Michael favourite on the album. A telephone call 1n the night, full of Hanrahan and he plays Dennis Cairi in Magnus Theatre's production of Willy Russell's denials, explanation and fearful emotions.

By the way. I think that there are a few movies left out that deserve mention. Both Hamlet and Hunt For Red Octoberwere snubbed by the Academy and only nominated for lesser Oscars such as costume, sound and special effects. nus. however, is the way things go in the world of Hollywood politics.

Uphill capacity is the catchword-of the 90s in alpine skiing. Skiers today can enjoy shorter line-ups and quicker rides to the top of their favourite trails all because of the technical advances in ski-life capacity. For example, a double chair-life has been replaced by a quadruple ljfe and can carry trice as many skiers to the top every hour: The newest addition to the ski-lift industry, the detachable quadruple life, further increases the number of skiers transported per hour because it moves significantly faster than the older lifts. This service improvement, coupled with better grooming, has increased skier enjoyment but has also led to safety problems. "If there are less people ' waiting in line then there are bound to be more people on the trail," states M,:-. Robert Bee, a fifteen-year veteran of the St. John's Skil>atrol. He and other safety experts believe there is a causal rela- • tionship between uphill capaclty and collision •d ace ents. Overgrooming is another potentially lethal problem. Trails are so w~ll-groomed that • do no·t rea1·1ze sk1ers how fast they are going until they have to stop or qui~ly change direction. The advanced grooming equipment of the 90s was developed during the snow drought years of the 70s. These -improvements were required to keep what little snow was available, on the trail. Skiers became so accustomed to the c~et-like feel of the snow that it soon J:>:ecame the norm rather than the exception to see smooth, steep and wide slopes. Combine uphill capacity with overgrooming and you end up with too many skiers on the hill, going too fast, on skis that are hard to control (because of the longer length of today's skis)a dangerous situation at best, a fatal one at worst. The Canadian Ski Patrol 1989-1990 Season National Statistical Report shows that 10 828 injuries were sustained during that season. Of these, 679 were collisionrelated. Amidst all this doom and gloom, there is hope. It begins with strict adherence to the skiers' responsibility code: 1.Ski under control and in such a manner that you can stop or avoid other skiers or objects. 2.When skiing downhill or overtaking another skier, you must avoid the skier below you. 3.You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above. 4.Whel'.l entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers.

The very nature of racist education, Canadiari's form of subtle racism, and dental for the sake of not feeling guilty were: some of therationalizationsofferedto explain this resistance.

For this reason the body of knowledge which is ~hosen must be reviewed. Whose culture and experience is=reflected' here must qe analyzed.

ARGUS ET,ECTION GUIDE Tony Le Blanc: Vice President Finance ' What do you foresee the revenues from the Student Centre In it's first year to be -and what do you plan to do with any surplus or deficit? I am convinced-that we l£lll have a surplus next year. To begin with, we will not be giving "liquor Services" a percentage of sales any more--the use of Cafeterias for staging events will stop. We w1ll be draining potential food revenues from the cafeteria ~cause the quality of food w1ll be better in our building. The Centre is also capable of hosting banquets, receptions and other special functions which we, LU, or the City of Thunder Bay may use. Now that the capacity will be 700 and programming will be intensffted, together with the excellent media on the new buildingsofar, there can ONLY be a surplus. I would spend the surplus in three ways. First, I would ~et up a fund for capital improvements so we may advance with technology and make repatrs to items that could break down. Secondly, I would increase the volume of services and programming. Lastly I would put the money back into the Centre to subsidise the prices of food and alcohol-making= food and drinks inexpensive. It is not fair for LUSU to squeeze more money than we have to from the students who own the building. As VP Finance, it ls your duty to put together the Student Handbook. Considering the current recession how would you go about making tt profltabfe and use- ful? • First off, placing your priority on an economic drive to make money, may seriously risk the quality of the event or servi'ce being planned. As a "non-profit" corporation operating in a captive market without competitors, the VP Finance !llllfil consider · the Students needs first rather than focusing on a p~rsonal accompli~hment to make money and look good. Without another Hand- book on Campus to compete with, the elected person may have their objectives misgutdea as to the importance of quality verses a source of revenue. I can guarantee you that with my experience so far with producing the Handbook last year, I will prevent it from losing money and, at the same time, retain the level of excellence that you expect. As for the "Space Crunch" on campus for Clubs and organizations, how would you like to see the problem solved? By coordinating the influence and power I've had with chairing various committees, •more Club offices will be erected with the proper funding. I have already given 5 office space~ away this year and expec1 another 5 to be gtv~ out nexi year, with the privacy they hav< always asked for.

In addition many departments have already offered space to academic clubs. How do you plan to deal with the issues of club fundIng and the current lack of club space?

The concern is LUSU's proposed Argus poUcy that is going to be discussed Thursday March 7 at the :t;.USU BOD meeting. Actually, concern is too ltght of word in this situation, threat ts more applicable at this tfine. Why are we upset-with this new Argus policy (printed last issue)?. Basically. our objections are twofold; we dislike having an impeachment process that is out of the hands of Argus members, and we dislike the role of a proposed Argus Editorial Board (AEB) as tt is currently stated. The two problems are interrelated. An advisory board is actually a fair idea, but only insofar as it would be used as a mechanism for constructive criticism and advice. Attaching the weight of the power to impeach would damage this advtsoxy factor as the Editor In Chief would harbour a certain degree of suspicion concerning the motives of the Board members offering their optntons on the paper. ; The impeachment concept is quite-alarming 1n itself. The fear here Ues 1n the ability of people who are not Argus members to remove the Editor on what could amount to personal vendettas and differences of op1n1on disguised as infringements on the Statement Of Principles. In case you are not aware, we have an impeachment mechanism of our own, if the need ever surfaced. ; In t11,e March 4, 1991 Maclean·s. the stoty of the former editor of The Patriot. Joseph Reedy. ts briefly told. He wrote an anti-war editorial for the Kutzdown. Pennsylvania publication he edited·. The president of the company that owned the pap·er, did not share Reedy's opinion. ~o he was dismissed. Examples such as this one are intimidating when the basic principle of free speech can so easily be infringed on by entitles outside of the editorial staff themselves. Another ·factor is the fear of quick release based on honest mistakes. Consider the infamous "Why I Hate Men" edition ofAnalyst Annie that appeared in the November 29, Faisal Ali 1990 Argus. A case could be made for that section being sexist in nature. Fortunately, Faisal's abfilty as an editor was not questioned by a crusading AEB, so we were able to correct the problem internally, increasing our vigilance for future issues of the paper. The main reason LUSU wants this proposal discussed ls to have a safety valve to turn to if the Argus totally went out of control, espousing sexism, racism, and homophobia. It should be noted that we had a statement of principles based on U1e Canadian University Press standard before LUSU instituted a policy of their own. That ts just one good reason why our discretion in dealing with these matters should be trusted when it comes to the content of our paper. Another is the · fact that in the past three years we have not let anything severely offensive be printed on our pages, making this policy seem like an effect to a cause that has not occurred. If LUSU requires an Argus policy to protect themselves legally, something should be worked out to defend against the potential worst case scenarto. But. as the policy is now written. it is too general and open to interpretations and that has Argives around here thinking ·u p worst case scenarios of their own. Any person that thinks that we are merely paranoid need only look as far as The Lexicon situation at York University. There, the student union is tiytng to shut down the paper •-permanently. Their major reason for doing this is that they do not like what The Lexicon has to say about them all of the time. The history of this conflict is too long to go into, but it shows the risks a student newspaper can face when dealing with sensitive Student Unions. I will close with a quote from an American journalist named AJ. Liebltng that I found 1Ii Maclean's this week. "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one·. The Argus is not financially a~tonomous, therefore we do not own our press. For the most part. LUSU has realized the importance of allowing us to exercise our freedom of the press. This right should not be comprfilmised. . . . .. . .__Travjs_Belro.se_._..1 . �The Argus Page 6 March 7, 1991 ENTERTAIN • The eyes have it-- irs mad max as the mad prince Laxdal at_., the Movies Photo by'S.Balogh The ~kydiggers Jammin' in the Study by Brian Laxdal DIGGING SK·v AT THE STUDY ,,,.

If you really want to find out, this movie would be a fairly p.oor place to - start. Oliver Stone, director of such great movies as Salvador, Platoon, and Talk Radio;has sadly decided to pursue an intensely personal rendering of Jim Morrison's life. The final result of this effort is an inaccessible movie that serves as more of a psychological case study than as entertainment. much less art. A more accurate title for this movie might- have been "A One Dimensional Look At The Fall Of Jim Morrison". This movie is not about The Doors, and the misleading nature of the title should be understood. The other three Doors (John Densmore, Rob Kreiger, and Ray Manzerak) are only incidental characters that we meet only when it seives Stone's purposes. This is unfortunate because The Doors were definitely more 'than one man in real life. The only purpose this movie seems to have is to mythologize Morrison's plight as the troubled artist. A Toronto Star_crttic count-ered this myth, "It's the lie of the 60s, as seen through a smoky reatview mirror and interpolated by a con man [Stone) with an arresting, grandiose visual style." Stone spares nothing in his attempt to funnel his impressions of Mon1son into our psyche. including coqjecture. One example is the acid trip in the desert portrayed in the movie when the entire band 'comes together'. It is a pretty stirring moment -- too bad it never happened. Drummer Densmore denies it occurred, claiming that "He (Morrison) would be the last person I'd drop acid with". Aware of thi~ forgery, a healthy suspicion about the events of the niovie is fostered, dampening the impact ofreal events such as Jim and Patricia's Wiccan marriage, or Morrison's alleged indecent exposure in Magnus Theatre Presents A wickedly observant comedy by the author of • . EDUCATING RITA Pay-What-You-Can Matinee Saturday March 9, 2:00 pm 639 . . ~c~µghµn Street . , Box Office 623-1321 Miami. The character of Jim Morrison ts not done justice either. Val Kilmer portrays him adequately within the restraining limits Stone confmed him. Former Doors manager, Bill Siddons, accused Stone in PREMIERE Magazine of focussing "virtually exclusively on the more sensational side ofJim's personality and not the man I knew... ". There is no doubt that Morrison had a self destructive personality, but that is not all there was to him. In the fine tradition of Dylan Thomas, Morrison drank himself into oblivion. What Mon1son (and some of his _ fans) forgot, was that it takes much more than an early death to make a writer of lyrics a great poet. Morrison did have his darkstde, darker than most, but he was much more than a symbol of chaos and self destruction. There are a few cameos of note in, this movie, if Billy Idol's forgettable appearance is ignored. Crispin Glover is great as Andy Warhol. and the real Patricia Kennely performance as the witch who marries Jim and Patricia adds . a touch of irony to the scene. The parody of Ea Suijlvan ts overdone however, a grotesque vision likely bas«r<I on some kind o,f Stone nightmare: Stone's myopic vision in this movie is tirlng. The 135 minutes spent fJt the theatre were not wasted, but they could have been spent more productively (watching Home Alo~ again fof instance). This movie ts not worth $7 .50 to see, but for $4.00, the excellent cinematography and portrayal oflate 60s culture may vindicate your outlay in cash.

At the half the L. U. squad was tratling by 37-32, and up until then the game was a tight match. The final score was Toronto 77. Lakehead 63. Both Pam Leitch and Barb Hill were questionable starters before last. wednesday's game, both were sick with the flu. The team not at a hundred percent. the players were fighting an uphill battle from the outset. Coach Stu Julius said stmply that his .team just ran ~>Ut of gas after the half. Strong: play by Kathy Harrison ~ept the team in close con- tention. Harrison was named an all-star and sunk 24 points for the NorWesters. Jodie Radosevtch also played·~ strong game shooting for a·points. Coach Julius had a lot of good things to say abo1,1t this years teain. After -losing so many expeqenced players from last years first place west divtsion team, Julius had to add five first year players to his twelve person roster. These new players helped contrtbute to the team's third place west division finish. This years assistant coach, Cheiyl Kryluk, will not be returnmg next year as she has completed her academtc studies here at L.U. The team and its outstanding players will be honoured at the upcoming L. U. Athletic Banquet on March the 22i,.d. Tickets to the event are available at the athletic office, an.d a bus service will be provided from the C.J. Sanders F.leldhouse. It just hasn't been a very good season for the Toronto Maple Leafs. But all things the same the year hasn't been a total waste. Granted. coming into the season there were big hopes for the Leafs to Improve on their 38-38-4, 80 point season oflast. However it was a campaign where the Leafs finished above .500 for the first time in a while, and all expectations may have been premature. The reason for the succuss of the 1989-90 Leafs was due to their high powered offence, which saw.career seasons from Gaty Leeman(51 goals) and Vincent Damphousse(94 points). DefencemanAl ~ t e looked to be accelerating into the upper echelon of NHL defencemen and the goaltending was in the hands of a respectable trio of Mark La.Forest, J\l Bester and Jeff Reese. So what happened this year? The only contest for the mfghty Leafs may be for the "Llndros Bowr. which they can not even win due to the fact that they dealt their first round draft pick to New Jersey for since traded Tom "suitcase" Kmvers. But as the TorontonianS have learned from experience, things can't get any·werse. They all-star break came and saw the Leafs in second last place tn the NHL with a record of 12-31-4(28 points). They were Uurd last 1n·goal scoring, 2.87 / game, second last 1n goals against at 4.17 /game and were second last 1n goal dtfferentlal at a brutal -66. They have gone 5-9-1 since the break and their only chance to make the playoffs is. to catch Minnesota who ts 12 points up and ts 8-4-3 stnce the break, a chance which is slim at best. Both teams have 16 games rematning. All tn all the Leafs have not been the losers their record implies. It can not be denied that GM Floyd Smith has not made an over abundance of trades, dealing Mark Osbourne, Scott Pearson, John McIntyre and more importantly Ed Olczyk and Al Iafrate. However these trades have brought 1:}le Leafs a lot of talent which, in the long run, may help the team. It would be hard to pinpoint the problem of the Leafs but the .botom line leads to the lack of production. Down the list you ffnd that nobody is on the pace they by Theodore Walter were last season.

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.

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.

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.

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. "Campus Development... really dragged their feet on a lot of things," said Middleton when commenttng on the Univer~ity bureaucracy. "The University bureaucracy is absolutely unbelievable. It's incredible. You have to go through- to get anytb,ing a..c;:cornplished it b.as to go. Uu;ougµ so ....,________________. LUSU President Ian Middleton Photo by C.P.

He added that it can be frustrating at times to try to accomplish anything as the University has so many regulationstofollowtogetevensimplethings done that time is wasted. It would be faster and easier just to directly hire someone-to do something_as simple as painting a wall, yet the way the bureaucracy is set up, this task could take three weeks to begin. "Is there any rhyme or reason to it? I don't think so," he said. However. Middleton said that Dr. Bob RosehG-·rt and other heads of the University are generally understanding and wish to help. Middleton commented that Dr. Roseh art was prostudent and enjoyed taking part in student activities. Because of Dr. Roseh art's assistance, programs like Security SeIVices for the students are in place and functioning properly. Some of Middleton's problems ortginate from a lack of funding for the University. Currently, Lakehead Unist0 ry Continued on Page 6.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The hallways where the two paintings were hung have no camera suiveillance as ofyet, which raises the question of safety for students .fil!.d university property.

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. D.C.M. and J.R.E.S. HUNGRY? Oxfam Canada will be sponsorIng Its annual "Hungry for Change" Fast on campus outside the main cafeteria on November 15th. 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

As far as he is concerned. the company ha.< been left in the dark concerning her displeasure.

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. Upon hearing of the results, Tougas said she was •proud of the student population because they voted, they made a good, sound judgement.· She felt ·all the candidates had potential,• and said she was worried. In response to Tougas' vic- tory-, Tun ·Fiooo· Dawdy said ·she kicked our f---tngasses. • Tougas said there ~ be a lot of work.

Randy Yozlpovic, VP Finance for the 1988/89 term got two votes. Yozlpovic, who has since graduated, ls considered by some to be the godfather of the Student Centre.

Those involved With the radio stationhopethat this will change in the near future. The station currently airs intheAgoraandonotherT.V. monitors around campus. 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.

Bu Ian Middleton On Wednesday, Februaey 5, Dr. RlchardAllen, Minister of Colleges and Universities met with members of the Lakehead University community to discuss the ramiftcations of the recent govemmentfunding~ouncement.

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. The Issues paper states the next five years 1s critical for not only Lakehead's future but the future of universities in general. °'The challenges facing Canadian universities are extremely complicated", it reads. stressinginputfrom the entire university community to achieve the goals of the prospective working groups.

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.

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.

Fortunately, he has come backwlthanexcellentalbumthat bursts with youthful and rejuvenated energy! During the "Lonesome Jubilee• period Mellencamp became very disillusioned about the music business and was experiencing a lot of personal problems.

Mellencamp called it quits for music. Durlnghisabsence he took up painting (many appear in the albums inside cover). He has flnally come back to grace us with one hell of a great rock and roll album. The album starts off with "Love and Happiness•, a song that reflects the state of society and the reversal of values. 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. He Is more interested in people than in the government. "Get A Leg up• and "I Ain't Ever Satisfied• are straight rock and roll fun. •Last Chance• and "SoTough"arealittlemoregloomy but still hit hard.

Consider this: LUSU President Ian Middleton was in the ARGUS office that same night. apparently helping out with the Election Issue.

Consider this: Travis Belrose dismissed the "eJTOr" as being a production mistake, probable due to a power surge. In order for a simple power surge to cause so much damage it would have to jump into the computerfrom thepowersource,jump three chips, pick up the Fisher platform, tum completely around, jump a chip, plop the Fisher platform on the Grice story (while suocessfully clearing that story) move to the disk through a series of spectacular jumps and dives, pick up the Grice platform, complete a U-tum, go back to the memoryofthecomputer,andplop down the Grice platform in Fisher's place, then leave completely undetected. And while all this is going on. it would have to mysteriously edit two other completely different stories. Consider this: Fasial Alt, Colin Walsh, Ian Middleton, Travis Belrose (the cummt ARGUS editor-in-chief), and Dave O'Bome (the manager ofWeb Press, Thunder Bay) were all seen together eating dinner at William's Restaurant.

Mike Lalonde was the big shooter in the first game netting 25 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. 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. .
