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.

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?

This will enable the students 'to stay on campus and see these events fre~. instead of having to pay a cover charge at a bar in town. LUSU ls always striving to bring quality bands and events on campus. and I will continue this sound tradition. Security on Campus ls a big issue; how will you address this issue?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

M5V 2S!I ·_£, • , r " ,,, .·· STNA0-23 PRESIDENT'S REPORT September 27, 1990 .The Great Administr a U ve Director Debate.Last year as a result of a report issued by a LUSU AD HOC committee on how to restructure the Student Union, LUSU created a new staff position called the Administrative Director (A.O.), with a salary range of between $37,500 and $42,000. 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.

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.

Meanwhile, Hany Brtckhead can gain admission by "I want to see a lot more non-alcoholic events." LUSU Pres.

Granted, the Street Dance was for-.all ages, but based on last year's precedent of restricted entrance to 5440, the Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, etc., extending to the game showTestPattern, the problem had to be addressed. 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. In Ian's words it is "more expensive, but necessary to serve this section [under 19) of the student population." There you have it young ones, a quotation to nail Mr. President to the wall with should the need artse sometime this year.

SOLLY& KAINULAINEN 1st in X-Country Opener in Duluth the rest of the pack and finished almost a minute and a half ahead of 2nd place finisher Dianna Loson of UMD. Kainulainen's time of 18:51.2 was .a course record for the 5km distance.

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.

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.

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?

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". The reviewboardwasthusableto rnind th ~ ~ : . e public's True movie connoisseurs greatly fear glvf:ng anyone such powers. It was stated in "Nova" '-June, 1967), "It's not so much How far can you/we/anybody go? that is not the question. The question is: what kind of society would we have if nobody was prepared to make the trip?" 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? You may feel I am blowing.. this out of proportion, however, past incidents that are laughed at now were very serious a few years back.

"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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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

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

Did you ever wonder what and AK-4 7 is for? Some might argue that this Russian assault rifle is a nice little collection, while others say that it's something to use while hunting. Some even say that tqey use it just for the fun of target practice. But why hunt with something capable of unloading 50 bullets in I 5 seconds? There will be nothing left anyways. It's not that there should be a ban on hunting rifles, especially in this neck of the woods. where many families survive on the meat that they hunt every fall. The issue is, do we need a gun collection in every home? Do we need people walking around with a weapon that was created only to spray bullets at multiple targets? Do we need semiautomatic hand guns that hold extended clips of I 7 or more bullets? No. we don't. It isn't a question of basic human rights, after all, it's illegal to own a bazooka or a flamethrower. You might say that these weapons are in separate categories, but they aren't. Both are weapons developed and used by the militruy. It makes one sick ~o see how some guy in Texas gets mad at the world and. in one incident, along with two clips of ammo. kills over 20 people, none of whom he's ever met. You might take the stance that it's a free country and we are allowed to bear arms. Well, folks, it seems that the Russians aren't coming anymore, so who do we need protection from? The only reason we might consider buying such a gtin is to' protect ourselves from our neighbors! · Television heroes. such as -rerminator" and "Rambo" glmnorize large guns that blow away hundreds of soldiers. To those that prescribe to the idea that guns are cool. ..just pull your head out ofyour ass. It's time to realize that stricter legislation has to be brought in, to protect us and our children. We teach them that such weapons are okay, and we encourage their use through toy models. Imagine you ·ve just come home from college and your so called "gun collection" has been broken into by a local. desperate burglar. who you have also caught be surprise. If you had a .22 you're probably going to be shot. wounded, or even killed. If you had an automatic pistol or Iifle, not only are you dead, but this freak could easily°'kill you family and even your neighbors for that matter. All with one clip! If you have youngsters around. with the preconceived notion that blowing away anything in sight is fun, you could find out how harmless it is to have those guns lying around. If you don't use them for hunting every fall, get rid of that · gun collection. Pressure your local MP to propose stricter gun control. It only takes one incident close to home to turn peoples· heads and git their attention. Why not plan a little ahead and do away with such weapons of war? With so many loose cannons running around, history is bound to repeat itself. We don't all have to learn things the hard way. Think about what happened in Texas - maybe next time it could be you. . .. ........ ...... Until next time - peace. · RossBeli �The Argus Page 6 November 21. 1991 • SPORTS Poise Saves Season For Volleyball Squad by Ian T. 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.

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'.

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.

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.

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

January 22nd. A solidarity day was supported by Lakehead Univers1ty•s Environmental CHOice (ECHO). After completing phase 1 of the James Bay project. Hydro Quebec is now ready to commence construction ofphase2oftheproject. Toe project is a series of dams and diversions intended to createvastreservoirsforthe production of hydroelectric power: most of which would be for sale to the northern United States. Toe project affects an area in northern Quebec the size of France. It would dam and divert 20 major rivers and cost approxunately 25 billion dollars. Toe James Bay project would be the largest hydroelectric project in the world. Toe government of Quebec maintains that the project would give Quebec economic independence and THE JAMES BAY PROJECT: ANATIVE PERSPEQIVE by Susan Kemp If the second phase ofthe James Bay Project goes ahead it could have dramatic implications for Quebec•s Cree. There is the possibility of mercwy poisoning damaging their fishing and hunting grounds.and this means that their traditional life and culture will be greatly affected. Vice-President of LU-s Native Students· Association.Linda Herny.recognizes the problem that the Cree are facing. She said that in Phase One of the Project.the Quebec government gave some of the reserves large amounts of money to compensate them for their loss.and this has made the reserves quite prosperous. Herny sees this move as "the governmenfs way of trying to do away with the native culture"· because.although the Cree have money to live. they will not be able to retain an important part of'their heritage. She feels the Quebec government is attempting to "assimilate the natives into the white culture" .in order to go ahead with the James Bay Project. stability. Environmentalists. backed by scientific study. argue that the project would effectively destroy the ecology of a large part of the northern heartland of Canada. Toe project would alter whole biological regimes through diversion of rivers and flooding of forest lands. Toe Cree and Inuit in the area maintain that the project threatens their cultural. social and economic well-being. Floodingo-of forest lands creates several biological problems including disruption of wildlife and their migration patterns (notably caribou). mercury poisoning of fish and humans, the potential extermination of the freshwater seal and the production of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of plant material in the reservoirs.

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

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

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

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

"Don't woriy Bob, we here at Cheat Stoppers have heard it all before. Just go on With your story.• "Okay.

Keep going Bob.• "Well during each of his exams, when no one was looking. he would expose the appropriate tattoos and copy the answers into his exam booklet.

In most cases it was Johnson's ill-fated love affairs that caused him his greatest anguish. The women in his life eventually cost him his life. he was poisoned. It is believed that the poison was slipped into his drink by either a Jealous gtrlfrtend or jilted husband. His death left many unanswered questions. one of which was his exact age. Don Law. his recording producer for all his tracks placed his age at roughly 18 years while he recorded. Yet Muddy Waters. another Delta Blues singer, Maintainshisagewascloser to thirty years old. Most agree that since Law was closer to Johnson h1s guess is closer to the truth, but the controversy just adds to the legend. During a trip to San Antonio, Law was out to dinner when he received a phone call from the police, Johnson had been picked up on a vagrancy charge, and Law further d1scovered that the police had beat him up and smashed his guitar. continued •.ver page... �1beArgus Page 8 Janumy23. 1992 ENTERTAINMENT PC PICKS by 'Pat" Compatible Sid Meier's Civilization has finally been released.

The team played great defence making only 16 mistakes 1n the whole match. Kim Rubbra played a great match subbing in for Williams who didn't have much success Saturday. Jenny Spence started for the first time this weekend and did a great job slowing Beaugrand who had only 20 kills Saturday. Geraldine Bergmans provtde a solid wall, and while she didn't score stat1stlcally, the best blocks were the ones she didn't make. forcing the Windsor hitters to make weak shots. Jo-Amle Hood also showed some quality play in place ofWflJtaros and showed signs ofbetnga natural at the setter position. The wins leave LU alone on top of the OWIAA West with McMaster as the other teams seem to be beating themselves Into sub .500 records. The team ts off to Waterloothisweekend, ifthey sweep playoff action will be assured. LI.Fans Banked Only Second In The l'nnrlnca It has been officially announced that LU only has the second best fans In Ontario University play ranking behind Guelph In a recent poll by CHCH 1V of Hamilton who televises the weekly OUM game of the week. ·The announcement come at a time when the LU fans seem to be joining the wave of apathy around campus. The fans Just don't seem to be with tt this season. It began during the exhtbltton games and has now spread In to conference play. No longer do we find the once common chants such as •sn down coach•, and at tlmeswe are lucky 1f fans raise a finger when our team ts shooting our foul shots. I don't know what ls happening this }":ar, I was so happy to go to a game to get In to the action, we used to have an sixth person advantage. It must be told that the banishment ofthe fabled Thunderstorm has done a lot to diminish splrtt amongst fans. The ClAU and the OUAA referees have recently vowed to enfon::e the rule which gives ourteam a technical foul after theThunderstonn. However measures to sneak around this ruling are already In the planning stages and may be In place for this weekends match versus McMaster. So the bottom line Is, are we number two or number one. I believe we -have the potential to become number one but we have to turn things around soon. If there are some crazy fans left let's see you out this weekend. Pots and pans, horns, and any noisemakers are optional but they can only help. This ts a true article, the following are a reminder of LU Thunderdome courtesy calls and actions: 1) at the beginning ofeach match every fan should tum away when the visiting team Is being Introduced. 2) when the opposing coach stands up the chant ·su down coach• should follow Immediately. 3) when our team Is shooting foul shots each fans shall raise their hand and wave It and yell •swoosh" when It goes In. Remember, It used to be commonplace, well It may come back this weekend. Lets get out and gain pack our sixth person advantage.

The ladies dominated winning by the scores of 77-62 Friday and 83-48 on Saturday. The victories come via a hot shooting performance by the entire team, hitting a whopping 53% from the field on Saturday. The ladies were paced by Pam Leitch who seemed to have shaken her shooting bug by putting down 44 points in the two contests. Leitch wasJoined by teammate Kathy Harrison who scored 23 on Saturday. Barb Hill also had 15 on Saturday. The team played very well as all team members saw action and made a soUd contribution. The score on Saturday. as lopsided as it may seem, only had LU up by 10 at the half and head coach Stu Julius insisted he wasn't trying to run up the score. The next three weeks will bring the toughest competition to the front. LU will play McMasterthisweekend and can't afford to drop a game. It likely won't happen though as LU brings a three year conference home undefeated steak in to the games. (I hope I didn't jinx). Currently the LU ladies are ranked #7 in the country with a 14-6 overall record with their only losses coming to the teams ranked in preceding 6. The team is tied for first place in the OWIAA Westat4-0, here's a look at the standing as of Jan.22.

The men dominated their Windsor foes to bring their conference record to 3-1 and put them into a tie position with Guelph and McMaster. Leading the charge was second year point guard Peter Brown. Brown has asserted himself in the NorWester Uneup getting more and more confidence with each game. Brown has been pushing the ball up the court fast and distributing the ball well. The quick Brown gives the team a new look. Also Mike Lalonde had a great weekend scoring 33 pts. and 26 rebounds over the two games, earning h1m an athlete of the week nomination. Brian Norland put in some quaUty time and so did Chris Grace. It finally seems as though the teamiS beginning to show the depth it promised at the beginning of the year. Perhaps the most important aspect of the mens game is their defence. The NorWesters rank# 1 in the conference in defence, only allowing an average of 69.5/ppg. Ray Foster has been brilliant defensively and has teamed well with Lalonde to wipe off the boarai, The temn hM five players averaging over 10/ ppg not including shooting ace Dave Pineau who has run into early foul trouble this season.

Hockey fs the greatest game in the world. Evidently, something fs very wrong with a sports popularity poll conducted in the United States a short while ago that ranked hockey 40th in popularity. Granted, this is just American opinion, but I didn't realize that more than thirty or so sporting actMties existed. Following will be reasonswhyhockeyfs better than three popular sports. Time and space limits keep me from comparing sports such as Roller Derby and Rhythmic Gymnastics, which also ranked higher in participation than hockey. Hockeyfs betterthanbaseball because... -Only four out of twentysix teams make the playoffs. Players do not seem to care though, although I wouldn't either for $5 million a season. -Baseball has no time lfmit. Pitchers and management control the speed of a game which fsaveraglngthree hours in length, and sometimes much longer in extra innings. Baseball fs much too boring to 1tay 1.wak@ that long, -Managers wear uniforms. Take a look around the majars. Some of those old farts shoe-horned into those tight _ polyester suits looks. rtdiculous. They make Robbie Ftorek's sweaters look good. Hockey ts better than football beca~~,,, -Football teams only play one game a week. What fans and players do the other six days is beyond me. How long does it take to hype yourself uptothrowon20lbs. ofequtpment and hurl your body toward someone wearing the same? -You must weigh at least 250lbs. to play football. This could only mean that players spend six days a week eating. -There are too many timeouts. Having 8 or 10 timeouts per game gives the quarterback power to make that big play and move the ball l 00 yards down the field in 5 or 6 seconds. -Watching football can be like watching paint dry. Hockey fs better than basketball because... -You have to be seven feet tall to play basketball. You're completely screwed if under six feet anyway. The only exceptions are Spud Webb, and local sports hero Peter Brown. -The last basket always wins the game. Why not just have a jump ball, and let the first team that scores win? -Basketball is monotonous. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. Inbound the ball. Pass the ball. Pass the ball. Sink the ball. There fs little doubt in my mind that hockey fs the fastest and most exciting of all sports. Hopefully, expansion into San Jose and Tampa (both HUGE American T.V. markets), can greatly increase the popularity of hockey. It should then be more popular than thrilling Syncronized Swimming or the capUvattng Dresage. �• -~ j i. The Argus Page 13 January 23, 199~ Ig SPORTS . .

RC dS ki flS Last year this sports sage predicted that the Buffalo Bills would end a seven year drought and beat the 49ers to win Super Bowl XXV. Two things went wrong. 1) The Giants beat the 49ers. Fine I thought, then the Bills will Just have to beat the Giants instead. They did look unstoppable against the Raiders. Also I couldn't see Thurman Thomas coughing up the ball in the dying minutes of the game like Roger "Call Me Sammie Smith" Craig did. 2) The Giants played flawless football. They had to. They had no choice. But still they won the game by a single point and that's all that counted. The Bills were the team of 1990, but the Giants deserved to win the title game. It'sanewyear. I'malittle older, hopefully wiser, so I'm going to take inevitable choice and pick the Redskins to win Super Bowl XXVI. How can I go against the emotions, the revenge factor, the odds of eight straight NFC victories that should inspire the Bills? The Bogs... They allowed ninesacksallyear.Theyhandled the awesome Eagles. They handled the Giants, the Oilers, the Bears. Jeny Ball. They give Rypien the time he needsandtheygivethebacks the blocks they want.

Contraiy to the popular belief of the bandwagoners the Bills can compete with the Redskins and win. Here's why: 1) The Bills have Jim Kelly, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas to lead the offence.

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

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

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

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

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

Wlllla111s Beg,oads In theJan.23. 1992 issue of The Argus I ran a stoiyentitled "WUUams and Peterson Leave Volleyball Squad". In that article I took it upon myself to speculate to why Kelly Williams had decided to leave the team as I wrote; "Veteran Kelly Williams has quit the volleyballsquadasofWednesday. It is presumed that WHltams was upset after losing her starting setter position to second year player Jo-Anne Hood." In response Williams pas written a formal letter to myself cx:platntngher situation. As this article originally appeared in the Sports section I feel it is necessary to reprint part of Kelly's letter and I do so at her discretion. Hopefully this letter will clear up the situation.- Sports ed. "'lb.e fact that! am not playing volleyball any longer has absolutely nothing to do with losing my position as setter. As disappointed and upset as I was about the change, I thought that for whatever reasons. Claude naa 111c1ue ct change that was r. best for the team. I accepted this and practised for two weeks, playing over 5 matches ion offside. • OnSaturday. January 18 while playing at home against Windsor I played one set and then found myself sitting on the bench. This is what I was upset about. after putting three and a half years into the volleyball program at LU I felt the last place I deserved to be was on the bench. When I spoke to Claude [Lapre. head coach] on Monday, January 20th concerning my departure from the team, I explained to him that I was unhappy sitting on the bench, however. there were other factors which brought me to my decision." - Kelly Wllllains... -... - - V-Ball Squad Sweeps Waterloo The LU Womens volleyball squad once again asserted itself this past weekend with yet another sweep, this time versus the home Waterloo team. The first match saw the NorWesters play without head coach Claude Lapre, on account of suspension. Lapre, who later wathced the tapes of the games, said the girls "lacked concentration" and took a long time to really get Into the match, although the team was delayed about four hours at the Thunder Bay airport after their plane was struck by the wing of another. The team pulled out a 3-0 set win by scores of 15-13, 15-9 and 15-13. Leading the strike were Kelly Breutigam who had 29 kllls. On Saturday the ladies took the match by an Identical 3-0 set score, w1nn1ng by the scores of 15-12, 15-11 and 157. The LU squad was able to empty the bench and all the ~ ; KERRI-ANNE B~A<?.!fA players made a solid contribution with Kem-Anne Ewa.cha recording a stuff, dig, k1ll and seIVicewtnnerto seal the match 1n only her third time on the court. This weekend the team will be playing at home versus Brock who is 1n tight contentio for a playoff berth. The Brock squad fetures a quality 5th year starter, Leanne Gotto.

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

Both the afternoon and evening shows w1ll be FREE of charge. The group focuses on the causes, the problems and the results of deforestation of the rainforests around the world. Although humour ls their presenting technique the importance of the rainforest issue ls very clear. Ruckus in the Rainforest is based out of Guelph and ls associated out of Guelph University. They have gained the reputation of a vecy entertaining yet informative group. Any of the many people who saw them last year, during Lakehead's first annual Environmental Awareness Week, knows the comic quality oftheir performance. This year's performance promises to be even better. The cast contains more people and there are a variety Doors released arrangements of Hooker's composltlons. In fact, Hooker's ortginal "CrawlingKlng Snake", a perfect vehicle for his powerful bark, was the Doors' selection for the bluesy •L.A. Woman· album, yet Hooker reclaims his song with a tremendous performance on •Mr. Lucky•, with help from Keith Richards of the Stones. Hooker has released over 100 albums and has been per-· forming for roughly 50 years. In recent times, he ls not dimlnlshing his production. His 1989 release, the critically acclaimed -Tue Healer·, peaked at 62 on billboard and won him a Grammy for the duet with Bonnie Raitt of his classic, •rm in the Mood•, which, amazingly, was done 1n only one take. Other performers came out in support. like Carlos Santana, Robert Cray and Canned Heat, yet the album's most powerful tracks occur in his solo tracks, like the brilliant piece of reminiscence (orls it pinlng?) oflost of new skits. Ruckus in the Rainforest has a dynamic flare that encourages interaction with the environment and·provokes the mind. They are musical and have a vecy lively seventy minute act. Their show ls an entertainment mustlll The afternoon show, starting at 2:00 pm, takes place in the Agora. The evening show, starting after 7:00, in The Study, other programs w1ll be in process. •• The bar w1ll be open in The Study so you can sit back and enjoy the show and hang around after their performance.

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

The two most popular TEDs currently advertised are Thigh Master (plugged by Suzanne Somers) and Thigh Ton~r. From these commercials, 1t would seem that thighs are the trendy part of the anatomy right now. Fat, flabby thighs are out and well-toned thighs are in. However, a big problem with TEDs ts they only concentrate on flabby thighs. After people use these devices their thighs become toned, but what about their double chins, their droopy butts and most Importantly, their beer bellies? I can Just Imagine TED users' friends saying, •Gee, she's got a nice pair of thighs, but get a load of that beer belly.• So Individuals seeking the perfect body must watt for as yet uninvented devices such as the Chin Chiseler, Butt Buster and Belly Beater. Another problem for TED users ts the Oprah Effect. This condition ls named In honour of the talk show host, Oprah Winfrey. You will remember that Oprah went on a liquid diet and after a couple months, she almost disappeared, and became lmown as Uttle Opie to thousands of adortng fans. However, when she went off that diet, she practically doubled In size and earned the nickname, The Grand 01' Oprah. Ollat terrible pun ls for all the Counuy and Western fans out there). This boomer• ' ang process became known as the Oprah Effect. and it applies to anyone who stops using some trendy diet food or exercise device. For TED users, it means that once they, stop using their TEDs, their thighs will became twice as flabby as they were originally. Although most women will probably quit using thelr1EDs shortly after purch.a stng them, dlehard users who over-In-. dulge 1n the thigh-enhancing process will develop more than toned thighs. After a while their •• 1egs will look like those of female Bulgarian shotputters. You lmow the kind of legs I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- all lmotted With veins sticking oul And women purchaslng1EDs probably don't want legs like that. That's why I think 1EDs should be promoted to people Interested 1n body building. Arnold Schwaneneggerwould be an excellent spokesman for such devices. He could hold up a 1ED and say something like. "Look at my thighs. Are zey not bulging and taut? If you vantmanly thighs Ukemlne you must buy zls or you vlll have liWe gtrly-man thighs for the rest of your pathetic Ufe and ze girls will loff atyou on ze beach.

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

Gratis trips are given by the travel company when a certain number of students are signed up. Koenen's passage to Daytona is provided by one of the gratis trips.

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

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

And so, on Friday the 24th, over fifty angxy Con College students were turned away at the door. And those fifty students took with them when they left a new image of the Outpost. No more is it, to them, a great place to go and drink and dance and spend their money. It is now a place reserved for the privileged few who hold L.U. student cards. And you can bet that the new image of the Outpost was passed on to their friends and to theirfriendsandsoonandsoon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She also claimed that she had numerous contacts in theadmfnistrationand in the business community. Tougas realised that there ex:ists a delicate relationship between LUSU and the administration, and she promised that she would avoid going in conflict with the administration on commercial ventures. H.B. All the candidates at the Forum agreed they would work closely with the auditors, as they consider their recommendation invaluable. All of the candidates also agreed on the issue of clubs. They would like to see the clubs get involved more on their own fund-raising, yet they promised flnancial or moral support for all LU clubs. W STUDENT ISSUES: Christine Fisher. Flsherbeganbyexplaintngthe experience that she has accumulated as a leading figure in residence. She was the Residence Programmer and was heavily involved in Orientation. She also has experience on various committees and she stt.s as a student senator. Immediately, Ftsherrewgnised the problem with the professor evaluation forms, whichare being abused and misused by the staff. Fisher would like to see these forms becoming important in the evaluation of profs by the deans. yet she admitted this would be hard work, but she was committed to it. Fisher was also embarrassed at the lack of wheelchair accessabillty in the university. She commented that she would like to see something done, spectflcally, an elevator made available so that disabled students can go from the Agora to the cafeteria without any problem. Craig Grice. Grice commented on the problem of vandalism and the image thatiscreatinginthemindsofthe citizens of Thunder Bay. He also felt the pub policywas disgraceful and a slap in the face not to Just Confederation College students, but of university students evecywhere. Grice also complained about he poor advertising of the Winter :::arruval, and commented on how >f all the classes that he had lisited, only a handful ofstudents Nere aware of the events of that :fay, and only one knew how to register for specific events. GricecomplainedaboutVersa Foods, accusing them of wasting food that could be donated to shelters in Thunder Bay. Grlce's final comments were on orientation. Grice felt that orientation was good for those living in restdence, yet those living offcampus were left out. and have no idea of what ts going on. Here, Grice felt that the faculty could announce what ts going on over the orientation period. Chris Klimusbko. Klimushkowas thethirdmemher of the •HatrSlate.•Asa memberofthis slate he promisedcohesion if all three members were elected to executive.

WHAT 18 YOUR BEST AND WORST QUALITY? ·Peter George 11 BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT 11 TWO MAJOR CAMPUS ISSUES The two issues that stand out in my mind are: a) Provincial cut back in education transfer payments. b) Tuition hikes and the freeze on hiring any new faculty. PERCEPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP The relationship between the two is essential. I cannot stress enough of how important communication is. We need to work together to make the change required. We are a team and without team effort nothing ts accomplished. • GOALS My goals are to represent the needs and wants of the students and to be accessible!

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

If the Outpost develops a profit the monies will stay in the Outpost for upgrading and repairs to help better service the students.

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

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

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

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

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

At the beglnnfng of the school year, students heard that soon they would get their own radio station. Today, the L. U. radio station is functional and broadcasts within theuniversity. Due to the stations limited equipment and continuing ftght for permission, the facilitation of cityWide broadcasting can not accuratelybeforcasted. 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. Serianni assures "We won't be there strtctlytobeajukebox."The station would provide campus news, ads, as well as talk shows.

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. Bob Rae, in his State of Ontario address, informed the Provincethatincreasestothe Municipalities, Universities, Schools and Hospitals (MUSH) will be 1\2\2% over the next three years respectively. ARTHUR'S USED FURNITURE 191 N. Cumberland St. (Basement of Cumberland • Wash and Dry) Buy and Sell 345-9592 Tues.-Sat. 11 am - 5 nm Dr. Allen outlined the difficulties that Ontario is facing - decreased revenues and the need not to allow the deficit to become unmanageable. 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. Working group chairs of Academic Planning. Teaching and Leaming. Research and Scholarship, lnterruµ Environment and Resources, External Environment and Community Relations, and Governance presented a report oftheir mandate and Issues. Each worktnggroup consists of faculty members or staff. Ian Middleton. President of LUSU. sits on the Teaching and Learning working group. Comments and questions were taken from a forum of faculty and staff. including Lakehead's President Bob Rosehart. The interaction between the faculty was mediated by Vice President Dr. John Whitfield, who also provided from the forum consisted of •1ntemal reviews are fodder for the planning process", •academic decisions are made for non-academic reasons". and "internal confidence 1s important for enforctngthe image ofthe university". Also discussed was the question of children of faculty who attend universities other than Lakehead and the implications associated with it. There also was interest to formulate a consistent university mission statement. Some concern for students was the predictions of financial turmoil which may come as a result from govenunent influence on universities. The present government was said to have had the most negative influence, or promises to have, to affect out educational system. We can expect changes due to these financial difficulties. "Some things may have to go" was a prediction. Another was that study toward PhDs would have to be eliminated. Questions of research versus teaching abilities were raised. An Issue not raised was t;he _quesfjo:g _QfJ~_w.:e__and the evaluation of teaching ability. The report 1s due by the end of-February.

Right in the middle of the poster is a sentence ONFOULRQD LANGUAGE SP: POOR TACTICS SP:LET'S JOIN CIS Yeltsin is going to be visiting Canada in the near future to try once again to convince us to invest in the new Russia. 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.

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

The show runs at Magnus until Febnwy 8,and you can get tickets by call1ng the Box Office at 6231321.

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.

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. He came back with the sombre album "Big Daddy" where he sang •never wanted to be a pop singer, neverwanted to write a pop song". It seemed that after "Big Daddy•. 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.

John Mellencamp has delivered a diverse and wonderfully pleasing album that will not disappoint! Consider this: The ex-editor-in-chiefwas seen around the ARGUS office the night of January 29, the night issue #16 was produced. His activities remain a mystery. Consider this: LUSU President Ian Middleton was in the ARGUS office that same night. apparently helping out with the Election Issue. Who is to say what actions he engaged in while at the ARGUS office? And please note that there have been complaints of misquoting and mtsinfonnationorlgtnatlngfroman-unreliable• source. 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. .

To top it all off "Brigitte" is taking lessons on playing pool so she can defeat and amaze her prey daily in The Study.

Annle Dear Analyst Annle I have this friend "Rob" who always beats me in pool (he won 4 of 7 games). Because I am new to the game I feel he should be more supportive, rather than cons..tantly gloating about winning. Ifhe was a true friend he would not cause me such mental anguish.

The annual LUSU Executive ElecUons l8 earned out under a format designed to facilitate maximum voter turn out.

For that matter, neither does the better than 25% tum out we had last week. but the confidence level Is much ~er that the results reflect the maJortty of students· opinions. The system cummtly In place to regulate against people voting more than once depends to an extent on the honesty of the lndMdualstudentStudentcards ~ marked by the polling clerks, and names are crossed off of the alpha list at the booth where the tndtvldual votes, but for those of us who have more than one LU student card tt would not be difflcult to push the syatem. That ts why the Deputy Retum1ng ,Offlcercross-checks thealphabsts to see If anyone hae wted more than once. This past election, one Individual voted three separate times at three separate polllng stations. Multiple voting Is a crlminaloffence under the Ontario El.ecttonsAct. the leglslat.ton which regulatea any clecUon held by LUSU. The Elections Act stipulates a fine of up to $1000.00 or a 6-month jail term or both as penalties for an ellglble voter who votes more than once. WSU Elections, however are not Provincial Government elections, which is what the Elections Act was designed for, so tt Is Inappropriate for further actlon to be taken against the individual who voted three times In our relattvely inslgnlflcant elecUon.

TORONTO (CUP) - Toronto abortion clinics are still under attack. fouryears after the Supreme Court of Canadastruckdownthefederal law on abortion. An entranceway to the Morgentaler clinic was set onftre by a gasoline bomb at 2 a.m. Jan. 24. causing $5.000 worth of damage. Three days later. a woman posing as a patient set off a stink bomb in a clinic bath-. room. Neither incident shut the clinic down. And earlier th:ls month. Campaign Life - an antiabortion group - estab1:lshed a storefront office next door to the Cabbagetown Women's clinic. which performs abortions. Workers at the clinic say members of Campaign Life have been harassing women as they enter the clinic. Henry Morgentaler said he believes the violence :Is commgfrom a group of people who are frustrated. "They are acts of people whose cause :Is lost.,. he said. -rhey are crazy. This is speculation. but perhaps they want to commemorate 'the Jan. 28 (1988) Supreme Court decision on abortion.,. The court struck down the federal law on abortion. saying it violated a woman's right to privacy. Carolyn Egan. spokesperson for the Ontario Coalition for .t\.bortion .GIµµc~ . .. agreed with Morgentaler. ·1t shows the frustration of anti-choice individuals because they are losing their battle. They are now trying to intimidate staff and patients through violent means.'" The Morgentaler clinic has a court injunction prohibiting anti-abortion protestorsfrom demonstrating within 500 metres of the clinic. The clinic. open since 1983. had been the focus of many protests in which demonstrators attempted to block access to the clinfc. - Jim Hughes. national president of Campaign Life. said although he was aware • of the attacks on the Morgentaler clinic. the everyday business of the clinic Is far worse. "Whatever happened :Is nowhere near the violence employed in the abortuaries,,. he said. Hughes said h:ls organization was not responsible for the incidents.

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

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

Riding a wave of recent success (after beating national #4 Brock the previous weekend) the NorWester men came fn to the game knowingthat they could playwtth the Mustangs, and as Friday's outcome showed they did indeed. -We played very well Friday.• exclaimed head coach Lou Pero on the team's 80-77 victory Friday. The game was exciting from the get go. With the womens team squeaking out a narrow and excitingvtctoryjust minutes before, the capacity crowd was treated to another thriller. It was a quick game, lots of transition, lots of shots and powerful rebounding. It was a game dominated by the fast break finishers and LU ran With UWO for •the whole game.

Brown ended the nfght with a magruflcent 23 pofnts and 5 assiSts, while managtngto haul down 4 rebounds, reasserting his February athlete-of-the-monthacknowledgement. Les Ragguette found his grove and was fnstrumental on both ends of the court, hitting clutch baskets down the stretch. Ray Foster was the hottrfggermanforthe home team dropping 16keypofnts and hauling down 8 rebounds. Foster held his own devenstvely (as usual) and showed presence, both on the boards and from trt-fecta land. Guard Glen Eastland had 23 points for Western. Their offence was limited to the outside with LU's four big men Grace, Lalonde, Randall and· Law outplayfng their Mustang counterparts. UWO tree John Verneeren was held to only 8 pofnts on Friday and 4 on Saturday and provided no real help to the Western post game. With all the success on Saturday night, and the excitement and anticipation . building for the •rematch, any fan may have been thinking "sweep" as the teams hit the court on Saturday. However LU ran into a fast rut courtesy of a hot rookie guard, Brad Campbell. Western raced out to build a 16 pofnt bulge and the NorWestersfound themselves playing catch-up for the rest of the game. "He just had one of those games." said Pero on Campbell, who achieved 36 points on 69% field goal shooting and 90% from the ' lfne. "He showed signs of a hot hand late on Friday so we focused fn on him a bit in the pre-game speech" added Pero. With Campbell playing well, Eastland found himself open for a few easy buckets en route to another 23 pofnt performance. Once again the NorWester big men did theirpart, but again the pertmeter,.gaine paced the Mustangs. The Mustangs staked a 90-79 victory fn a gamewhfchneversaw Lakehead get withfn 5 points, a mark they achieved at the haJf. "We were a little late defensively• added Pero, it showed at times, but there isn't much you can do when you run fnto a hot shooter. The split left the NorWesters with a 5-5 conference record and the Mustangs with a 6-4 mark. The next test for LU will be the 19 Launer Golden Hawks. "If we play well we should win two.· remarked Pero modestly. "Les [Ragguette] is starting to play well, (Ray] Foster is getting steady, and (Dave] Pineau is playfngvery well... we're getting better with every game• he added. Right now the NorWesters are in 6th place in the confernce and have not lost hope of gaining a home playoffgame, a dream which may become reality if the team sweeps Laurter this weekend and hopefully gains a split with 1st place, and national runner-up, Guelph at home Feb 21-22. "Right now• exc~ Pero "we're just taking one game at a ttme: If the team accepts this philosophy there can only be better things to come. · Rankings Basketball OUAAWEST (Men) l)Guelph (8-2) 2)Brock (7-3) 3)McMaster (7-3) 4)Waterloo (6-4) 5)Westem (6-4) 6)Lakehead (5-5) 7)Laurier (1-9) 8)Windsor (0-10) OWIAAWEST (Women) !)Western (9-1) 2)Lakehead (8-2) 3)Brock (6-4) 4)Guelph (6-4) 5)McMaster (5-5) 6)Waterloo (5-5) 7)Laurier (2-6) 8)Windsor ( 1-7) �1be Aigus Page 7 February 13. 1992 SPORTS CAMPUS RECREATION REPORT By Derek BatJield Pool Tournament Results Th.is past weekend in the Study a brilliant display of pool skills were demonstrated by all of the participants in the tournament.

The Purple Haze Daze A Hendrix bio of sorts by Colin Mckinnon He seemed larger than life. Hts command of the electric guitar, his onstage antics, and the instant recognition of any of his songs made Jame• Manball Benclrlz a legend, and his stature as the premiere guitartst of the rock era remains unchallenged. While starttng to play guitar when he was 12, Hendrtx tmttated other guitartsts and tried to pick up their pieces and licks, usually playing lefthanded, butoccasionallyplaytngrtght-handed as well. Years later, after his early discharge from the army 1n 1962 for a reputedfakedtnJuryonaparachuteJump, hebecamea •guitar for hire,• tourtng on the R&B Circuit With the likes of Uttle Richard, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Wtlson Pickett, B. B. King, the Isley Brothers, and many others. Eventually 1n 1965, formed his own band called the Blue Flames, callIng himself by the new name of Jimmy James. After a failed career as a televangelist, Hendrix reunited the group 1n 1966, playingtn Greenwtch Village, pop msuic's headquarters for artists tn that day. He made a bigger name for himself than the other respected guttartsts of the day, ltke Mike Bloomfield and John Hammand. His big break occurred during a visit by the former bass player of the Brtttsh band the Antmals, Chas Chandler, who put Hendrtx on a plane to England With a promise of meeting the rtstng Ertc Clapton. Chandler also reverted Hendrix's name to its ortgtnal state from Jimmy James yet altered the spelling of the first to read ·J1m1.· The stage has now set for Hendrtx to explode upon the unsuspecting Brttish music scene, which was more and more demanding a heavier sound.

In Medicine Man Sean Connery plays a divorced scientist that has discovered a cure for Cancer in the Brazilian rain forests. When a new assistant (Lorraine Bracco) arrives the two must stop the government from destroying the forest before they can redevelop the cure. Connery gtves a good performance as a reclusive scientist while Bracco seems to whine her way through in a non-Oatterlng female role. Wh1le the scenery Is incredible the novelty of shooting in a rain forest wears off before the movie ends. We then are left to discover an overused plot and dull dialogue.

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.

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.

Most of us better know it as the attempt to rid campuses of discrimination on the basis of sex. race. and sexual orientation in terms of hiring pollcies, course curriculum. It exists tn society too, but universities are where the most progressive (and militant) elements are. But for all the awareness this movement ls producing, political correctness ts also having some scary effects on the freedom of expression and the learning process. Maclean'& magazine calls tt "a wave of repression .. .sweeping through the universities." Take the following examples cited in the May 27 issue of Maclean's: *Last year, a University of Toronto anthropologist was labelled by blacks as a racist for an exhibit she curated for the Royal Ontario Museum.

Although for a long time there was no policy, Muldoon says, the Municipal Industrial Strategy for Abatement (MISA) was expected to affect the practice of pouring dangerous chemicals into university sinks: chemicals which ultimately enter the city's water supply. The city of Thunder Bay's Public Works Department says that a Sewer Use Bylaw which was updated in 1990 to control what goes into the city's sewer system. "The Sewer Use Control Program is in place to enforce this bylaw", they said, but as of yet there are no practices to monitor sewage coming from the University. The Primary Sewage Treatment Plant operates on the sedimentation of waste and removes only phosphorus and solids from the incoming material. With over 80 Million litres per day of treated waste being handled, additional chemicals are said to be "diluted". When contacted about their policy on industrial waste from Universities, the organization Greenpeace claimed to have no standing policy in this instance as there wasn't yet enough information on the quantity by FC DeGagne Flags were raised early this semester as the Argus was informed about improper chemical handling procedures on campus. Both the Chemistry and Biology departments in the Centennial Building , of Lakehead University are involved. Students concerned about negative environmental and individual health effects explained that draining acid into the university sewer system was common practice following lab classes. Lax supeIVision, student carelessness and a lack of effective laboratory procedure have all been blamed in the reported draining of acetic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and acetone cleaner down lab drains. Two students who desire anonymity tell of students who at the end of lab drain these commonly used and dangerous chemicals into sinks. Besides being used to wash hands. the sinks also drain by a roundabout route to the city's sewer system. Presently there is policy for the storage and disposal of waste chemicals, noted Mrs. Marton Muldoon of the university's Occupational Health and Safety office. Mrs. Muldoon also explained the strict Mlnistry of Environment regulations to control disposal.

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. Walsh many different people and so many different levels," said Middleton. 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. The following are depots where other goods can be dropped off: - 410 Mountdale Ave. off Arthur St. (paper only) - New Vickers St. (paper only) - Eagan St. Public Works Yard [Front St. past Hydro blue metalbox] (paper only) - RR#5 Arthur St. [Al 011 Services] (waste oil and petroleumbased waste) - 399 Moony St. by Greyhound(brushandwoodwaste to be used inlandscaping) - 182 Algoma St. [Ftreweed) (cardboard. packingmatertalbubblewrap and styrofoam chips, egg cartons) • on the last Saturday of every month (except December), Environment North has a depot at the Petro Canada on Memorial (across from Intercity Mall) for food and beverage cans from 10:00am 4:00pm • The Canadian National Institute for the Blind accepts used eye glasses to be sent to developing countrtP.s By Noel Ward Tony LeBlanc ts returning for a second term in office as VP Finance.

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.

Koenen, when dealing with the social issues that herjob faces, said that when an awareness campaign takes place she will do more than just hand out pamphlets.

Editorial Continued from Page 3 As such, we shouldn't discredit or persecute authors, philosophers, historians who are long dead. We can't change their views - but we can change our own. The only way we can do this is through rational and open discussion of AIL ideas. That means sitting down and debating questions of race, sexism and homophobia in an intelligent manner- not through intimidation or insults. Universities are supposed to be institutions where ideas are fostered - no matter how popular or unpopular they may be. While it's wonderful we're flnally beginning to recognize the importance of women's and racial studies, we can't start ignoring traditional thought Just because it no longer meshes with our mind frames. No matter how disagreeable it may be, it is a fundamental part of our history. And what happened in the past can't be rewritten. We can count ourselves lucky at Carleton - we may have felt the vibrations of political correctness, but we have yet to feel truly restricted. Then again, we haven't had a Philip Rushton to test our tolerance. �TheArgus Page 7 September 19. 1991 ENTERTAINMENT JEFF HEAL_EY ROCKS LU! 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 most memory worthy feature of this summer at the movies was the constant stream of terrible "dogs" that were released in hopes of parting the masses from their hard earned cash. Among the bombs were Problem Child 2. Drop Dead Fred, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead, Body Parts. and Bill and Teds Bogus Journey {what can you say about a movie where Death steals the show). However the five worst films of the summer make those titles above look like Gems. Discussed below are the top five summer duds in order of increasing contempt. Double Impact, Jean Claude Van Damme's first big budget film~ The movie was to damme dumb and to damme boring. It was bad enough that the plot was moronic, but even the action scenes lacked any danger or energy. ThJs movie turned out to be a double dose ofdebllitatlng dullness. Return to the Blue Lagoon, 1f you saw the pathetic ortginal you may wonder why anyone would want to make a sequel. much less see it. Tilis picture can be Ideally described as a soft core romp In the wilderness with absolutely no point. Another You, Richard Prlor and Gene Wilder are reunited once again, for one main reason, to make money. Unfortunately they are given no script, and are forced to create a film on the spot. The result is an unendtng strtng ofmisftres that tarnish this once outstanding comedy team. Bingo, ls a movte about a dog that was not man's best friend. It barked it's way to the theatre, but whined it's way out. If you have never heard of this movie count yourself lucky. Delfrlous. John Candy can usually save a picture with his humorous· shtick. But there ts just no hope for Delirious, the worst picture of the summer. As I sat In the silent, slowly emptying theatre I had to keep remtndtngmys_elfthat this was a comedy. A satire on Soap Operas this is not, but rather a slow tedious exhibition In torture techniques guaranteed to give you the courage to ask for your money back. Thank God its Fall! CAPTAIN KIRK SAVES CANADA II by Argus Sindedicated Columnist Todd LaHaye In our last episode, Captatn Kirk was about to solve the outshopptngproblem by shooting photon torpedoes at Miller Hill Mall and the city of Duluth. Kirk: "Okay Spock. You have exactly one minute to explatn the source of the outshopptng problem. If I am not satisfied with your explanation. I will gtve the order to fire the photon torpedoes." Spock: "Vecy well Captain. The source of this problem is the source of all Canada's problems. namely the Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney. Mr. Mulroney is an evil dictator whose sole mission In life is to destroy Canada." Kirk: "Spock, I find this qwte hard to believe." Spock: "Well, it is true Captatn.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whether because of the alcohol. the bus ride. or the relatively small crowd, the band almost gave up their ghost. Toe songs suddenly became two minutes long and the breath taking pause between them twice that length. Toe appeal of celtic mus,tc is it's universality. Both our parents and ourselves can appreciate the traditional material that celtlc bands (especially this one play.

SHAKIN' a cover of ..Summer Time Blues" (on a freezing night), they proceeded to rip through such trademark songs as "Lets Shake". "Infected". and "Beer Drinkin' Party". There was lots of drinking. dancing, and plain fun. which are the motivational factors behind Til's music. To say their performance was classic would only act to age the band. It would not surprise me to see the band enjoy a renewed success that fslong overdue.

BODY PIERCING: Warning not for the squeamish! edited by Faisal Ali From the Link in .M ontreal obvious spots, some people - Ears, lips, tongue, nipples and now even the genitals. Everything's getting pierced. But it wasn't ,,always in North America. There was a time when only women pierced each ear-once. Today. rtngscan be found on every body part _tmae:tnable, Besides the also pierce their eyebrows, necks. backs and navels. Living colour tattoo Studio in Thunder Bay stopped domgbody-pierctng a few months ago--now it can't be done in Thunder Bay. A spokesman from Llving Colour said that "it gave me the willies--it was usually associated with S and M. and I just stopped." Customers included dancerswhowanted novelty bells on their genitals, to men who liked the bottoms of their feet pierced, backs, and buttocks, as well as their nipples. Customers would supply their own rtngs, but he would do the actual piercing. Roughly only 40 people had used the service 1n the past few years. Only a handful of places venture beyond the earlobe. One of them is Cuir Plus, a shop in Montreal. Bob, a Cuir Plus worker says he pierces the "whole spectrum" on males: nipples, foreskin, testicles-you name it. Some places won't do piercing on female nipples because of the .. risk of cancer." but health professionals say it's impoSSible to get cancer from piercing--an infection iS the worst thing that can happen. There ar:e- other myths - ab out body piercing-piercing your nose in the wrong spot, for instance. doesn't cause blindness. But most pierctnµ, in North America is not inspired b culture or religion. Bob at Cuir Plus th inks its largely a cosmetic choice. ..A chest with a good tan looks nice with something sparkling. It's as simple as that." Or maybe not. Breakfast is the legal name of a 21year old Torontonian who wears a small ring through his peniS. For him, it ·was a sado-masochistic experience. "I did it for discipline. It's the idea of cancelling out pain." Breakfast froze the inside of his pents by inserting a Q-tip dipped in novocaine, a chemical dentists use when they pluck teeth. "The piercing itselfdid not hurt." he says." But for a few months afterward, urinating was immensely painful. There was defulitely blood miX.ed in with the urine." Breakfast never removes the small ring because 1t hurts too much to take out. Men can choose from more vaneties of genital piercin~ than women. Breakfast .knows at least nine ways for men to do it, but understandably-only J:wo or ~omen. Male options range from foreskin piercing using a ring or hoop, to ampallang (bars that go horizontally through the head of the penis). to dydoe piercing, studs that sit on the r:iIIl of the head of the penis. Women can choose between piercin,g the labia. or piercing the clitoris. Marc, a 26 year old student at the University of Quebec finds body-piercing appealing. He had his left nipple pierced this spring. A friend used a knitting needle to slowly poke a hole through the ntpple. • "It was really fleshy," he says, "So it took about half an hour to push the needle through." Unlike earlobes and nostrils. which_aremade of cartilage, nipples are made of pigmented skin tissue. Marc says he didn't bleed much. "But for a few days, it felt Uke someone had punched me in the chest. " Why the knitting needle? "Twanted to see how much pain I could endure. ~ Bob marks the area with a pencil so the hole will be straight. Then he a pplies ice t o desensitize the nipple. and uses a clamp to hold it in place. The rest is easy. He matches up the marks With a needle, and puts the ring through. Breakfast. believes that body-piercing will only get really popular if S and M ever does. �I 'lbeArgus Page 9 October 10. 1991 SPORTS l Women's Rugby Team Captures First Ever ':"7in byK.
