The Terry Fox Run celebrates the 25 th Anniversary of Hope "If you've given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon ofHope." -Terry Fox Diana Co/etto/ Argus This past Sunday, Canada saw hundreds of thousands of supporters come out to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. Over twelve thousand people ran the 13 kilometre stretch over the Confederation Bridge that connects New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The event is non competitive and aims to raise money and awareness for cancer. Over $360 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name since 1980. The money that has been raised has prompted many scientific discoveries: treatment's to save a child's eye, research on oncolytic viruses (now a main focus for the Terry Fox Foundation), and many other area~ that may have not had the opportunity for research. When Terry Fox, at the young age of 22, began his . Marathon of Hope in 1980, he ran 42 kilometres daily for 143 days until his cancer consl.nned him and he was unable to go beyond Thunder Bay. This year, Thunder Bay held the activities at local high school, St. Ignatius. The run was a successful event and participants enjoyed running, walking, rollerblading or bicycling along the 5km or 10km course. Lakehead University's own Residence Life supported the event by having a shuttle bus to and from campus in hope of encouraging students to come out. James Pilkington, a 3rd year outdoor rec/natural science student, believes the event is worth while: "It's an amazing cause and compared to what Terry did, it is the least we can do." Tracy Allie, a 2nd year con ed/ sociology student ran the 10km course stating, "It's a good way to get in shape and support cancer research." The event was ran by the Lakehead Rotary Club, and Don Morrison (organizer), felt the event was successful in all aspects. Even within the first hours of the morning, 747 participants had raised over $2300 for cancer research. Morrison already states the numbers are "double then last year." A great thank you goes to all who came out to participate and donate. As well, if you would like to make a donation to the Terry Fox foundation, please go to www.terryfoxrun.org more for information. What a To-Do! NOSM declared officially open by Premier McGuinty Amy Hadley/Argus significance of the event Vice Dean Dr. Dan Hunt referenced a comment made by Bartleman: "[Bartleman] captured what this was about - [in his speech] he acknowledged the tensions resulting from the majority of people being in the South and setting policies They had balloons, they had big names and they had over 30 speakers, including Premier McGuinty. At the Grand Opening of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine they pulled out all the stops, and ran overtime for what is being called a historic event for Northern Ontario, L..,;;;.;:.~,~''·"-· and Lakehead University. Making extensive use of technology to integrate Northern communities, last Tuesday's big event was all about connections and community.

The third floor of the West (Lakehead) Campus is not completed yet, but it is not behind schedule. That floor is for offices and was not scheduled for completion until the end of the calendar year. The East campus is not completed either, but at Laurentian they are a bit behind schedule. Dr. Hunt explained that while the Lakehead building was built from the bottom up, at Laurentian they did the opposite, so while the offices are completed, the classrooms are not. There are still some technology problems that need to be worked out. Faculty are also learning to teach medical students, and in a new environment. After the Grand Opening, which a committee for major events had been planning for a year, Dr. Hunt says that he is looking forward to a breathing spell during which they can settle in. The charter class began on September 6. There are 24 students in Thunder Bay and 32 in Sudbury. The NOSM is intended to aid the doctor shortage in Northern Ontario, based on the idea that doctors who are trained here will be likely to practice here. McGuinty touched on this in his speech: "the north needs you," he told the students, "I am urging you to consider a career right here in the North." �2 September 19, 2005 Argus News LUSU's Community Garden Ash/iegh Gehl I LUSU Community Garden Coordinator For most students, the end of April means two things: tying the ends of loose strings in Thunder Bay and stepping out of the University bubble only to enjoy the comforts of a fruitful summer job. Consequently, very few students enjoy what Lakehead has to offer in the spring and summer months. One of the wonderful programs that the Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) offers is an organic community garden. This garden has been around for two years and has a number of accomplishments under its belt. As anyone knows, accomplishments are usuall~ accompanied by set backs. One of the many accomplishments this year was the creation of a three bin composting system. This project was started in the garden's first year and was finally completed this year. The idea behind this system is to generate enough compost to maintain soil quality but also give students a place to four legged mammal- the deer. there all day long, so feel free to compost.

Drastic drops in support for President Bush show where much of the blame is being placed. This is largely due to the fact that he did not leave the vacation he was taking on his Texas ranch for several days, and did not visit the affected area for nearly a 'Yeek, causiI1,g critics to ponder the reasons why a more decisive and effective approach was not taken with the relief effort. To combat this negative image, President Bush has taken action. The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was first moved out of the region, and then resigned. This after . it was discovered that his only prior experience was overseeing horse shows, and that he had no actual experience or training with disaster relief. President Bush has assigned Dick Cheney to remove bureaucratic barriers to the relief effort, as well as to be a compassionate and human face for the people of New Orleans to identify with. Finally, the president stated that he accepts some of the responsibility; however most of the blame "rests on state and local authorities." One criticism that has been strengthened, rather than addressed in the past days is that of President Bush's disconnect with the underprivileged and people of ethnic minorities. According to a survey conducted by CNN, 60 percent of ethnic minorities in tne United States believe that the slow and ineffective response to the disaster was racially motivated compared to only 10 percent of Caucasians. This gap has been exacerbated by both critics and supporters of the President. Michael Moore stated that the reason for the loss of human life was not due to nature at all, but human error caused by "cultural and social pre·udice." Barbara Bush, the President's mother, has been quoted as stating: "What I'm hearing which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. And so many of the people in the area here, you know, were underprivileged." These comments have served to create a sense of unease and discontent among the US populous, which is being expressed through poll numbers as low as 45 percent, an all time low for the President. No matter what rhetorical orators ·· are exchanging, with over 160 000 homes damaged beyond repair, and thousands dead, the polls indicate that voters are unhappy, and that could be reflected at the ballot box. those who donated the vegetables (Cattails, the Dilley's and JoAnne Henderson), the seeds and the organic gardening magazines. I would like to applaud the team that helped deliver the new shed . . . in one piece. A big thank you to Jeff Moore for his teachings and patience, Dr. Dilley and his family for lending us supplies when we needed them, Dr. Zaniewski for testing our soils and last but not least, Robert Martins and Ms. Jodi for their continuous support, hard labour and passion for gardening. I would also like to thank LUSU for having such a wonderful program that allows students to appreciate the finer things life provides. There is so much beauty in turning soil, sowing the smallest of seeds, watching with amazement all that blooms, and leaving th.e land with dirt stained hands. Thank you.

One participant suggested that programs at Universities which are specifically relevant to their surrounding areas should receive special attention. For instance, the new Medical School at Lakehead will play a vital role in the stability of communities Meet the Administration: Staff .ii ':\ · Argus News September 19, 2005 should he be visiting Lakehead. Bentley met with Krupper and VP Finance Chad O'Halloran. Krupper was disappointed in the minister's response to concerns that reduced funding for tuition fees will hurt Northern Ontario students more than Southern students because of lower wages in the North. The government is. reluctant to continue its current funding of tuition fees. After, as Krupper put it, they, "beat that one to death." The meeting took a tum for the student unions are incorporated bodies that can be pushed around by administrations. He points to incidents at Ryerson and York where student space is being co-opted and he adds that here at LU the Outpost is constantly under threat of being shut down. Krupper argues that administration does not fully respect student union leaders as elected representatives. The minister called rights for student unions one of their top three priorities. LUSU also raised concerns about northern funding and the Orillia campus with the minister. The discussion was cut short because of the minister's tight schedule. Krupper says that he will write a follow up report for the minister. It was a series of lightning fast visits, but the honourable Chris Bentley managed to cover quite a few bases while visiting the University last Monday. Included in his busy schedule were Dr. Fred Gilbert, Chairs and Presidents of Northern Colleges, LUSU executive, student leaders at Confederation College, the Aboriginal Support Center, and the Young~~~ Liberals of Lakehead University.

FedNor provides funding for community projects with the aim of improving the social and economic conditions . in the North. The funding that was announced by MP Joe Comuzzi last week will be divided between four projects. $150, 000 will fuel the planning and design of a new research building. $141, 000 will support research into ' development of electrodes used in the production of metals. Equipment to improve LU's toxicology testing services will be acquired using $ II 1, 155 of the total. The remaining $27, 500 will fund the employment of a youth intern for a new Materials Science and Biotechnology research center. President of Lakehead University Dr. Fred Gilbert stated that these initiatives hold potential not only to develop research capabilities, but to be "both useful to regional industry and likely to create new, commercially valuable products and processes as well as longterm employment." Hopes are that the new building will help to attract faculty.

"We are looking for people ", s • ", Lakehead September 19, 2005 5 Don't book that ad Publishers attempts to place ads in university textbooks are squashed by parent company s corporate policy Amanda-Marie Quintino The Eyeopener (Ryerson University) TORONTO (CUP) McGraw-Hill Ryerson quietly called off plans to place advertisements in university textbooks because of a "minor oversight" in its company policy. According to Tom Stanton, director of communications for McGraw-Hill Education, the Ryerson team in charge of the ad initiative was unaware of the policy conflict. "We don't permit advertising in textbooks," said Stanton. "When it was discovered that [Ryerson] was initiating this project, we immediately retracted it because it was in opposition to McGraw-Hill's corporate policy to include ads in our textbooks." McGraw - Hi 11 Ryerson is the Canadian subsidiary of McGraw-Hill Ltd. and is not related to Ryerson University. Although the companies publish separate material, they share administrative policies. Not all employees were aware of this when proposing the textbook ad initiative. When the initiative was launched, the company released a brochure in an attempt to receive support from potential advertisers. "Reach a hard-to-get target group where they spend all their parents' money," the brochure read. "Do you really think 18 to 24-year-olds see those on-campus magazine ads? Do you really think they coulq miss an ad that is placed in a well-respected textbook?" read the pamphlet. But before advertisers had the opportunity to show interest, McGraw-Hill Ryerson pulled out the rule book and cancelled the plans. Patrick Ferrier, president of higher educatio1_1 for McGraw-Hill Ryerson, said the initiative retraction was made some time in midJune, shortly after it had been made public. He was unable to provide an exact date. "The reality is that the Ryerson team just didn't know they were doing anything wrong," said Ferrier. "It still wasn't a fully developed plan at that point, so there was no harm done." But according to Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert, the fact that McGraw- Hill Ryerson was • even making considerations to impose advertisements in the classroom is shameful. "Some places should be offlimits," said Ruskin, wh,o works to rid the nation's schools ofcorporate markJters. "Some things are too important to be for sale-that includes the classroom." Lana Petros, a third-year business marketing student insists that there are specific places for advertising and the classroom is not one of them. "I don't need to be exposed to commercialism in a J?lace of learning," she said. Business management professor Tarun Dewan is pleased with the initiative's cancellation. "Puttin& ads in textbooks would cause a dilution ofacademic integrity," he said. "It's very important to keep commercial interests out of universities as much as possible. Textbooks should not contain propaganda." According to Stanton, students and professors should not be concerned. McGraw-Hill Ryerson has no plans to change policy in order to accommodate textbook advertisements. The MEH Report Jake Satten and Tom Peotto And the award for Least Favourite Canadian ... Wait, this may give him one more thing to brag about. Brian Mulroney has long been suspected of being the greatest asshole to ever become Prime Minister, and now a new book by former friend, Peter C. Newman is adding weight to this argument. The Secret Mulroney Tapes is a 400-page word-for-word account of Brian Mulroney's rants, raves, and political musings that Newman has held for decades. Newman taped Mulroney in over 100 interviews over the span of many years. Some of these interviews took place while Mulroney was in office. To hear a P.M. speak like this is nothing less than astonishing - case in point, his advice to Kim Cambell, his successor as Prime Minister: "Keep Your Pecker up, Kim." In the book, Mulroney also rags on Canadian political heavyweights, such as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, calling him a "coward and a weakling"; on Jean Chretien, who, according to Mulroney is a "mean, dirty, and stupid bastard;" and ironically (and unwittingly), on himself, noting that "you'd fail as a leader if you allowed vindictiveness to enter your judgement." (JS) How about that award going to Karla instead? Karla Homolka, who by all accounts should be serving multiple life sentences, yet just finished an overly-merciful hot-tub and fling-filled 12 year sentence, is now seeking to reduce the restrictions placed on her parole. The restrictions, which Holmolka argues violate her constitutional rights, include reporting to police regularly, giving them notice if she is to leave Quebec, and avoiding contact with violent offenders. Family members of Homolka's victims are expected to argue against the 'schoolgirl killer' in her upcoming court appearance. Likely,-their argument will prevail. (JS) I/she can't be roaming the savannah, apparently the next best thing is the latest in exercise equipment Oh Maggie, how you've let your figure go! Treadmill shmeadmill, just eat Subway! Idaho-based Conveyor Engineering has gone where no company has gone before ... and created the first treadmill for elephants. Commissioned by the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, AK for 4-tonne African elephant Maggie, whose last weigh-in showed her at over 400 kilograms overweight. The treadmill weighs 7,260 kg and is 6 metres long by 2.5 m wide. Zoo director Tex Edwards is optimistic, stating that Maggie "seems to enjoy new challenges." Assistant director'"l>at Lampi points out that treadmills have been built for race horses and racing camels, "but never for an elephant." At her August 2004 weigh-in, Maggie was about 455 kilograms overweight. Keepers have made changes to her diet and made her feeding more strenuous; to simulate the browsing and foraging which African elephants would do on the savannah, food is now hung from special structures in her paddock, which require her to reach and strain. Maggie has already lost about 410 kg thanks to these changes. Says Mr. Edwards; "We think it is possible that a lot of elephants around the world will find more regular exercise a beneficial addition to their lives." (TP) If I die, you can have my face Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic are planning to cross a medical frontier and perform the world's first face-transplant surgery. Dr. Maria Siemienow, a 55-year-old surgeon trained at Polish medical schools and with thousands of surgeries under her belt over the past 30 years, has acquired the clinic's approval to attempt the procedure after successful experiments with animals. The procedure involves routine microsurgery: the donor tissue (ie. the face of a cadaver) would be connected to the transplantee with one or two pairs of veins and arteries on each side of the face, 20 nerve endings being stitched together to restore movement and feeling, and tiny sutures to the scalp, neck, eyes, nose, and mouth. Critics point out that infections could turn the transplanted flesh charcoal-black and require replacement by skin grafts, or a second transplant. Drugs to prevent tissuerejection by the transplantee would be necessary for the rest of their life, and raise the risk of kidney cancer. Yet the procedure would only be performed in cases of extreme disfigurement and to prevent painful and disfiguring skin grafts, says Dr. Siemienow. "I hope nobody will be frivolous or do things just for fame. We are almost over-cautious."

While most people don't realize it, the CBC, Canada's public broadcaster, is in the middle of a labour dispute, and by 'labour dispute' I mean that the management has locked the CBC workers out of their work environment, effectively making it look like they are on strike while also taking the power to end the labour dispute away from the workers. As I said, most people probably don't realize that the CBC is on strilce. I, however, do, as I am a geek and like listening to the CBC for all my information about the world. Most people probably don't realize what the labour dispute is about, or see how it connects to numerous other disputes that have occurred recently. Basically, the CBC workers had been working without a contract for at least a year before they were locked out. While there were negotiations going on to try and establish a new contract, the sticking point was the management's attempts to threaten the survival of the union. Basically, the CBC management wanted to eliminate full-time positions and replace them with contractual workers. workers to be drastically reduced. This would reduce the strength of And in the end, the university the union and save money for the won and any new worker can corporation. Sounds great from be hired on a contractual basis.

Thanks for your time, Rob Rombouts The LUSU President's Report The Shrinking Sphere Adam Krupperl LUSV President Where are we going? Good Lord! What a question. Really though, where are we going as an institution? This is a fundamental question that needs to be asked. If you were to look at our campus development plan you'd see that as an institution, we are moving towards a lot more roads, privatized research, more and more parking lots, leasing part of our campus for a golf course, and a really big hockey rink. This plan does not inspire me. It does not speak of a comprehensive plan to make this a better university. It does not speak to a vision of Lakehead as a learning institution; it does not build upon our past strengths as a student-centered institution; it does not create a better learning environment. The focus of the university's development plan is utilitarian. It means giving up our campus to private forprofit interests. It means forever destroying our green spaces, those things (trees and alive stuff) that make this campus so remarkable and beautiful. It means moving the spotlight from northern community-based post-secondary educational programs to commercially-based directed-study programs and being a subsidized sports-centre. It must be asked; what do we want in a campus and in a university? Most people I talk to really realize that a campus is more than a collection of buildings; they realize that those buildings must address the question of living the campus experience. Buildings must serve the greater need of education, and its facilitation. That means making the buildings liveable, flexible, a place of experience and communication on many levels. They must foster warm interaction and a communication with what is beyond the walls. Green space is more than a few artificially planted trees and pesticide sprayed grass. Green space is open space; open is to be filled with possibility. Lake Tamblyn and everything that surrounds it is green space. Its uses are incredibly varied. It is a space of excitement, of chilin', congregation, studying, and canoeing! It is also a safe place. Our campus is remarkable because it has enclaves of green space. The interaction of buildings and green space, how they are put together, their design, their relation to each other, and everything in-betw.een is what creates the physical atmosphere of the campus. A clear, thoughtful, and insightful vision of a campus creates a place that helps its students feel nurtured and empowered. • I wish I could say that the current campus plan has a healthy vision, but I can't. It is a vision of expansion, of opportunistic growth that is more founded in personal ambition than in academic merit. It is a vision that destroys our green space, sells our campus to the highest bidder, and desperately latches onto the newest trends. It does not offer a vision of Lakehead as a place that fosters new possibility for new students to create new boundaries in the world; it is a vision ()fa university that compartmentalizes 'recreational' activity, learning, and down-time. It makes Lakehead a place of specific business and sells off anything that does not fit into that boxed mentality. Why have you never seen the campus development plan? Why don't you know how this place is being changed? Why has student input been limited to one vote at a time, in meetings that refuse to ask a fundament question; is this really what you want? Will these changes make this campus the best learning environment for the future generations of students? Are we creating an environment of possibility, or decided activity? Is this institution looking to the future, following trends, or worse, following personal ambitions? .,:·.· ~ti- .tar~·Coming U~.

King Hubbert presented a paper in which he predicted that continental U.S. oil production would peak sometime between 1965 and 1970, with world production peaking in 1995. U.S. oil production peaked in l 971, and it has been calculated that global production of 'conventional oil' peaked in early 2004. As every schoolchild knows, fossil fuels are finite resources .which take millions of years to develop. Are the Peak Freaks right? Are we facing the end of oil? Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to the Peak Oil theory, one thing is certaingasoline has suddenly become damned expensive. Let me rephrase that: insanely expensive. While millions of drivers offer up their wallets in a manner similar to Jacob's trussing up of Isaac, let us examine the possible alternatives to gasoline-powered automobiles. Natural gas Not really willing to give up fossil fuels? Consider a natural-gaspowered-vehicle (orNGV). Throughout North America, the vast network of natural gas pipes in urban areas make this fuel readily abundant, and its cost is already cheaper than gasoline in the United States. The cleaner burning of natural gas and the thickness of the storage tanks in NGVs result in less wear and tear on the engine (which means less tune-ups) and reduced chance of fuel tank rupture. But to accommodate those thick, sturdy fuel tanks, cargo and trunk space is sacrificed. And their driving range is approximately half that of a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle. So imagine this: you're driving home from the Superstore, groceries stacked up to your eyeballs, when your car splutters and dies. Unless you want to pull it to a natural-gas pump which may or may not exist in that neighbourhood, the NGV driver is SOL. Not to mention that natural gas, as well, is predicted ·to run out within the next century. Hybrid cars Calvin of Calvin and I Hobl;,es once stated, "A good compromise leaves everybody mad." Does this pertain to the hybrid car? I don't know, and frankly I don't intend to do the research to find out. Seriously though, a hybrid car uses both electricity (often with batteries) and a conventional, gas-burning internal combustion engine. Several other machines use hybrid fuel, including trains, giant Argus Feature Septe:mher 19, 2005 g • U I d e t 0 Car - t e r a It erna purely-electric car? mining trucks, and These are currently buses with overhead wires (all diesel-electric more popular in Europe than in North America, vehicles).

The Smart Car Is the name merely a British-Englishism for looking sharp and stylish ("My, what a smart-looking handkerchief') or a blatant appeal to the urban sophisticate who wants to appear And you thought hydrogen was a pipe dream. Well ... you were right as a member of an intellectual elite? Either way, the Smart Car is rapidly gaining in popularity. The Smart Car is, yes, a conventional diesel-powered vehicle-but an incredibly efficient one. Weighing in at a mere 730 kilograms (as opposed to the 1,280 kg Toyota Echo) it also takes up a mere 2.5 metres of parking space, and has an advertised fuel rate of 4.2 litres per 100 km which owners confirm is fairly accurate. Currently, city councilors in Vancouver are considering parking-fee breaks to drivers of the Smart Car. However, the Smart Car is not the be-all that ends all. With a mere 41 horsepower and two doors, it can't match the studly off-road power of a hulking pickup truck or the cargo space of a minivan. Furthermore, remember the guys who made fun of you in high school? Those guys all drive pickup trucks, and they'll all probably try to run you over. Bio-fuel Brilliant German inventor Rudolf Diesel (no relation to Vin), had predicted that his engine would run on vegetable oil, and at his demonstration at Paris' 1900 World Exhibition he used peanut oil. Henry Ford expected his Model-T to run on comderived ethanol. Nonetheless, supply, price and efficiency meant that diesel engines were eventually run on petroleum. But within the past few decades bio-diesel has made a startling comeback. South of the border, events like the 1973 OPEC crisis and the Iranian revolution meant that serious research into bio-diesel began in the 1970s. Around the world, the environmentalism movement spurred the search for a clean, renewable resource. And what better source than agriculture? Plant oils (such as rapeseed, canola, com, soybeans, sunflower seeds, cotton seeds, palm, and peanuts) and animal fats can be transformed by chemical reactions into fuel. They can either be used directly, with slight modifications, or as an additive to petroleum-derived diesel. But it isn't all fun and games-bio-diesel can clog older diesel engines, produces more smog-forming nitrogen oxides, may decrease fuel economy and power, and has a hefty price tag. Hydrogen power Leading the way in hydrogen power, considered by many to be the 20th century's greatest pipe dream after "peace in our time," is none other than auto giant BMW. Their experimental racer H2R (Hydrogen Record Car) has already set nine speed records in its class. Instead of hydrogen fuel cells, the H2R is powered by liquid hydrogen fuel in an internal combustion engine. BMW also plans to produce the H7, a vehicle offering ''world-class luxury �__ , ----- - - Argus n at • IV e Feature Septemher 19, 2005 • I Ve S modes 0 f t r a n s p o·r t a t i o n Fields of rapeseed, much like this one, create biodiesel Fossil fuels don't really come from dinosaurs, but this But was a nice picture Laugh now, but you'll be investing in horseshoes soon enough and performance along with the clean-air benefits of hydrogen technology." how applicable is this to you;the driver? While liquid hydrogen is already used in rockets and spacecraft, and eyed (thanks to its lightness) for use in airplanes, the "hydrogen economy" has yet to prove it-self practicable. Since hydrogen does not occur naturally in its pure state, an initial input of energy is required to separate it from its surroundings. For further detail ( since this stuff makes my eyes glaze over-which is why I never took chemistry in high school) check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ economy. Public Transportation So why bother with cars? ou could always consider taking • the bus, the subway, the monorail, the bullet train, or whatever other form of public transportation your city has to offer. Not only are they priced affordably, but (like carpools) they drastically reduce emissions of fossil fuels. Of course, this hinges on the phrase "whatever your city has to offer." Not every city has a monorail or a subway. Indeed, many smallish cities' bus systems are infrequent to the point where walking saves more time (see Walking, below). In addition, public transportation has a stigma which, like most stereotypes, is based in truth. In the anonymous atmosphere of public transit, pickpocketing, robbery, and assault are facilitated. In 1984, New Yorker Berhard "Bernie" Goetz, aka "the Subway Sentinel," made headlines around the world when he shot four youths attempting to rob him with sharpened screwdrivers. And carrying groceries on the bus? Fuggedaboutit! Bicycling What about cycling? It's much faster than walking, you don't have to worry about getting shanked, and it's good exercise. However, you run the risk of being clothes-lined by pedestrians if you bike on the sidewalk and being hit by cars if you bike on the road. Furthermore, a tethered bike, even one secured with a bike lock, is an invitation for theft, or merely the theft of your front wheel. New Guinea Highlanders, like many, enjoy a good walk. Walking The walker gets to set his or her own pace, obtains the benefit of exercise (and a suntan), and ... that's about it. If you really enjoy being outdoors and not having to wait for the bus, like I do, walking is a treat. Of course, not everybody enjoys being at the mercy of the elements or having to set aside hours of travel time a day. www.canada.com auto.howstuffworks.com en. wikipedia.org Horses Unless you live in the country, not a good idea.

In reality, what is be significant, be positive, be around you and me are people like creative and above all, be you. you and I. Inside every person there When I was reading Jake Satten's article I had to remember if I was reading The Argus or an NDP newsletter. Judging by the content in that article, I really thought the latter. After acting like a bunch of whiney children and thugs, do you think these strikers deserve to have jobs at Lakehead? I sure don't. In fact each and every one of them should be fired just for their actions on the picket line. One time when I was coming for a review class, I simply reminded one of the strikers that it was my right to go to school, and they decided to make me wait longer. I ended up being twenty minutes late for that review class. Did the strikers care? Not really. One thing about contracting out was not simply about saving money. I have heard stories where it took these workers five weeks to simply change a light bulb. They finally acted after the professor threatened to change it himself. Rooms in the ATAC building that have no working air conditioning. The men's washroom on the third floor of the library has a burned out bulb. I wonder how long it will be before they get that bulb changed. And the quality of work will decrease if contract workers are brought in? It actually looks like the opposite. When the replacement workers came in, the bathrooms looked better than they ever have. Unions are a big reason that Thunder Bay has trouble attracting business, and the socialists in this city have no real problem with keeping business out. In a twist of irony, Canada's richest province (Alberta), is also the least unionized. If the strikers wanted support from the students all they had to do was simply stand at the side with their signs as oppose to blocking traffic. I probably would have had sympathy for the workers that way. But when I was coming to the university for exams, I almost thought I was dealing with the same thugs that are present on Simpson Street. And if you just drove through the picket line, the cops were waiting there to protect their union buddies. Correct me i~ I am wrong, but that is a conflict of interest. Let's not forget that one worker who yelled 'shame on you' to one person with children in the car. He was going to his granddaughters dance recital at the Bora Laskin building, and just stopped to say that he was supportive of the workers. After that action he quickly changed his mind. I guess the last time the university was on strike one of the strikers got hit by a car and is now paralyzed. If that person was stupid enough to stand in front of a car like that, they got what they deserved. Let's not forget that this is the same union that was behind the Yellowknife mine blast in 1992.

Kendra Ezack This is the day we thought would never happen. Some of us prayed for it, while a large majority did not even realize we had two national languages. No matter though, because Canada is no longer a bilingual country. Well, this is the only logical (maybe not) conclusion I can make given that Lakehead is not offering Introductory French.

Global warming or global ice age? Many believe that global warming is inevitable and that climate change promises severe repercussions. However, some historians may reveal that we should not fear global warming as much as global cooling. As they know, history tends to repeat itself and words of wisdom predict an ice age is long overdue. So how is this possible? Well to begin, let's consider the environmental fallout of global warming. Extensive land conversions have altered the earth to be more receptive to infrared radiation (heat from the sun), while greenhouse gases have created an insular layer to contain the heat and temperatures. This environmental phenomenon caused the global climate to change, parching soil and melting continental ice sheets (among other things). These extreme weather processes continue to erode the earth and raise water levels at an unprecedented rate, eventually transforming the earth to marginal islands of land engulfed by a worldwide ocean. This 'waterworld' will be the catalyst for global cooling, changing our once incandescent earth into an iridescent water body. Nevertheless, some may state the global oceans will moderate the earth's temperature. However, this statement is false on two pretences: the changes will be too drastic and rapid for the ocean lag to accommodate; and the insular blanket of greenhouse gases will long remain, sealing our fate in this cold casket. Fact or fiction, I dread the power of nature more than any weapon of mass destruction.

Rod Stewart has three albums "The Rolling Stones lasting twenty, thirty years -- what a stupid idea that would be." - Lester Bangs, Creem, 1973 If the Pearl Jam show at The Gardens showed me anything, it showed me that Pearl Jam are well on their way to becoming the next Rolling Stones. Can you imagine Pearl Jam twenty, thirty years from now? What a stupid idea that would be. The last proper Pearl Jam album, Riot Act, was offensively bad. Since that time, they've released a double-live acoustic album, a double greatest hits album, and launched tours of Australia, Japan, the US, and recently Canada. Through three tour stints since Riot Act, they've played 119 tour dates and counting. Pearl Jam fans have always been the most loyal fans around, and the band has tried to return the favour in whatever way they can. Touring places like Thunder Bay and Kitchener is proof that their primary concern is to please fans. But ask yourself, would you rather Pearl Jam play a show in Thunder Bay, in a hockey arena with brutal acoustics, playing a set that's clearly driven by a 'greatest hits' mentality; or would you rather hear the first good Pearl Jam album released in 5 years? Judging from the crowd response, the answer scares me. To give a bit of back- ground, Pearl Jam was my favourite band from the age of 10 to 15. Including singles, bootlegs, and live sets, I still own about 20 Pearl Jam CD's. So this criticism isn't a blind attack. It's simply meant as a critical review of my childhood heroes, and to find out why I seem to be the only one that feels this way. It almost hurts more that Pearl Jam came to Thunder Bay and played the set that they did. It's like an ex-girlfriend that you're still sort of seeing, telling you that she's met someone else. Pearl Jam used me like an ashtray heart. They crushed me while I was burning out. I've come to the conclusion that the best thing to do when you're spurned by your idols, isn't to find new idols. It's to give up the idea of idols altogether. Why put so much effort into a band or artist that you don't even know?!! How can you trust this group of musicians to evolve with you through your own musical and spiritual evolution as a fan? Pointing out the obvious, you can't. For those that were at the Gardens, it was too late for them. They were already wrapped around Eddie's little finger. But it's not too late for you. Get out while you still can. Burn the bandwagon. Cover up your ashtray heart. But whatever you do, when that ex-girlfriend/ex-hero tells you they want you back, think fondly of the good tim~s, but put them down all the same.

Fever Pitch Starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon Directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly Based on the novel by Nick Homby This movie was a pleasant surprise. It was based on the book by Nick Homby (High Fidelity, About a Boy), and fans of his earlier work will not be disappointed. Though the storyline is the typical romantic comedy; Homby, along with screenwriter partners Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Where the Heart Is, City Slickers) manage to infuse the boymeets-girl formula with humour and insight about relationships and how far someone will go for the person they love. The dialogue is funny and Jimmy Fallon manages to pull off a fairly good performance for once as the Red Sox obsessed fan, Ben. Drew Barrymore stays true to form as the girl of his dreams. The two are funny together and play off one another well. For the Farrelly brothers, this is a departure from their usual comedies such as Stuck on You, Shallow Hal and Theres Something About Mary.

PROUD HOST OF LAST YEAR'S XXX-TOXICATOR &AROUND 1HE WORLD PARTIES . . . �Sports 14 September 19, 2005 Argus Classic arena in need of replacement Fort William Gardens becoming outdated Alan Wickware/ Argus There are not many Canadian university hockey arenas like the Fort William Gardens. It is reminiscent of the old Boston Garden, Montreal Forum or Chicago Stadium (albeit not as large), in terms that the fans are so ..--:11 close to the ice surface, they can almost touch the players. It has that vintage feeling. Over the past 60 years the Gardens has played host to games from every level of hockey, seen championships won and lost, and has also hosted a countless array of concerts, most recently being Pearl Jam. But The Gardens is beginning to show its ag_e, and the issue of a new 'large capacity seating' arena is going to have to be addressed in the near future. If one were to observe the outside of the structure, they would notice a decaying exterior, underlined by the chipping cement of the outside The Fort William Gardens, sitting at the corners ofMiles and Vickers St. in Fort William, beams, and the need for much is home of the Thunderwolves men's hockey team, but for how much longer? more than just cleaning and paint job.

Lack of space on a lack of a press box and luxury upgrades, making the whole complicated to even bother to Lakehead Basketball welcomes new transfers Morrison confident his team has improved Alan Wickware/ Argus When Coach Scott Morrison opened training camp for the Lakehead Thunderwolves men's basketball team earlier this month, he was·reassured that his team had not tak_en a step backward. He knows this because of the new faces that will dot the lineup. Most notable among these is the arriva.J of three top-rate transfers arriving from various schools around the continent. After spending the better portion of his university career playing at NCAA junior colleges, the latest being Vincennes University in Indiana, Vaughn Daley is coming home to Canada to finish off his post secondary career. The '6 '4 combo' guard is expected to crack the starting lineup for the Thunderwolves, adding to an already impressive back court that will see him team up with the other speedy guard, Scott Seeley. Vaughn's main attribute is his exceptional work ethic, something that fits in well with this Lakehead squad. Daley is also excited to get a chance to play with Kiraan Posey, an elite CIS basketball player who won , the OUA scoring title last season, something that Vaughn has been looking forward to since arriving at Lakehead. "Watching him practice, I can see that he's (Posey) naturally a great scorer, so hopefully we can bring the best out of each other this season." Along with Daley, the Thunderwolves received a boost up front, welcoming 5th year forward Ryan Marrast, a 6'5' native of Toronto, and, Warren Gilchrist, a 6'6' transfer from Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland. Marrast spent four years playing for a strong basketball program at Acadia University m Wolfville, NS, and his offensive skills will be well used. Gilchrist's sheer size will most definitely intimidate opposing players, not to mention his uncanny ability to knock down mid-range jump shots; something that is often rare in bigger forwards. Coach Morrison is excited about the new prospects he has on his roster, hopefully ensuring that last seasons' playoff run was no fluke. "From a basketball perspective, we have added size, athleticism, and depth to compete with the best in the country on paper. It will now be up to our team to put forth the required effort and dedication to do so each week starting in October." The Thunderwolves pre-season schedule begins October 1st with the annual John Zanatta Alumni game, and finishes November 3-5 with an East Coast swing to ,. the US to play NCAA Division 1 Loyola in Baltimore, Division II Virginia State University, begin to renovate. Thus, a new arena must be built. But where? Lakehead Athletic Director, Tom Warden, says he wants the arena to come here, but not if the school is going to bear the brunt of the construction: "The university has always been interested in discussing plans to build a rink on campus, but in the sense of owning or operating it, that would have to be done by the city of Thunder Bay. We think of it as a good idea, but it couldn't require the universities (financial) resources." Although there has been no official complaint from the school or team, the reality is becoming clear that the arena situation needs to be addressed. There would be no better location in the city than the university campus. It would represent a happy medium to those living in both Fort William and Port Arthur. It is now up to both university officials and city Qffici;ils to work out the details. �Ar~us -esHav Student The VIP Specials Ill Argus ALWAYS FIRST WITH THE NEWS 2 --1 2" S TOPPING PIZZAS - $1 6.99 Piua Tax 1 -1 2" 2 TOPPING, CHEESY BREAD AND 2 POP - $16.99 Plua Tax Nobod'f i°V1 tl,,•5 f-owV"\ °'ff~Cjo..f€S ,,...'I (>O\iV) ti"1':J.> ·•· / 1 - 1 4" 2 TOPPING PIZZA - $11 .99 Plue Tax FOR FAST DELIVERY CALL: THUNDER BAY 8 00 i475•4222 ---- - ~ 772 Ja...

With that in mind, he adds that a $500 reward will be offered for information leading to the recovery and/or arrest/conviction of the culprits. To the question of whether there are any case leads apart from the video, Mr. Murray replied, "No. Nothing has been provided to me by the police. It's their investigation because of the amount of the theft." The television was valued at around $5,000 and if caught, the suspects could be charged with grand theft. As to whether security would be making any changes, particularly regarding security in the ATAC building, he responded, "There are no changes we plan to make to security. That's up to someone higher than me." Good news for amateur actors, though: Mr. Murray said the possibility existed of the case being put on Crimestoppers, a local news .segment where crimes are re-enacted through dramatization. Anybody with information regarding the theft can contact Crimestoppers at 623-8477, the Thunder Bay Police Department at 6841200, or LU Security at 3438569.

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

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

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

Layton disc_ussed many issues that were of interest to Canadians at large, and students Federal NIDP leader Jack,Layt<>n address a crowd of students in The Stud leader Jack Layton to The Study on Friday, December 3rd , 2004. Layton was in Thunder Bay, and had just come from delivering an address at the Victoria Inn. As per the party's in particular. The predominant themes of Layton's short presentation and the subsequent question and answer period were the relations between Canada and the United States, the state of the environment and the challenges facing Canadian students. "If enough of us make a little bit of a difference, a big change can happen." _ Layton touched on student debts; and the 'brain drain' phenomenon, citing both as proof that the Canadian government should invest more money into post-secondary education. Layton ended his address with a message of strength for students trying to make their communities, their nation and their world a better place. "The solutions are there. They're exciting. You're the ones that are going to make them happen." On January 7'\ the Lakehead Young Liberals held their_first fundraising dinner, with such guests as MP Ken Boschoff and MPP Michael Gravelle. While the event was not as well attended as Young Liberal President James Bowie had hoped, those present were enlightened with a number of speeches. Nathan Hewitson, of the Lakehead Young Liberals, spoke of the importance of youth being involved in politics. Fadi Dawood, Vice President Finance of the Lakehead Young Liberals spoke of the glory of democracy, reflecting on his time growing up in Iraq, stating that one can really understand the ·'importance of democracy when you live m a country without freedom. MPP Gravelle stressed the importance of youth involvement in politics. Gravelle stated that through the youth • 55-Year-Old puts wolf in headlock Tom Peotto/ Argus A uranium-mill worker owes his survival of a New Year's Eve wolf attack to knowledge of proper winter dress and application of wrestling techniques. Fred Desjarlais, 55, had completed his shift at Cameco Corporation's Key Lake uranium mill, 640 km north of Saskatoon, and was eager to prepare for New Year's. At7pm,hehadtwooptions: either wait for the shuttle bus, or travel on foot to the camp three kilometers away. He chose to jog. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him and saw a wolf "limping" towards him from a ditch. Describing the wolf as having "a big mouth and a big head," he later said the wolf "was taunting me, (walking) in a circle around me. I looked around real quick and thought, 'I hope he's alone."' His attempts to scare the beast away proved fruitless when it lunged at his head. He dodged that attack ("That's when I knew he meant business,"), and another one, but then the wolf bit his shoulder. As he was wearing several layers of clothing, he only suffered severe bruises. The wolf then bit him, as the Canadian Press put it, "twice in the pelvis." Man and wolf both fell to the ground and got back up. Luckily, Desjarlais seized an opportunity, leaped on the wolf's back, and put it in a headlock. "I pulled him down the way you would take down cattle --------------, Fred Desjarlais shows off his wounds after wrestling a wolf on New Years' Eve (for roping) and I dropped onto his head, pinning him there." Fortunately it didn't tum into a test of endurance- 30 or 40 seconds later, the shuttle bus passed by, and several of his co-workers chased the wolf into the bush. Cameco's Key Lake Security Officer, Kimm Barker, called Mr. Desjarlais "a remarkable man," and said the wolf"wasn't a very smart wolf because of all the people it could have picked, it chose one of the strongest." Speaking to the press while recuperating at home in Saskatoon, Mr. Desjarlais summarized his dramatic ordeal: "I don't know what came over me or how I did it. All I know is I had his head and I wasn't letting go until someone came to help me." He felt no bitterness towards the wolf: "He wasn't a young, healthy one. If he was, he wouldn't have been there. He wouldn't have done what he did. It was just an older wolf that was doing what he had to do to _survive and I just reacted, thank God, the way I did and survived it." Unprovoked wolf attacks are extremely rare in North America, with only a handful of documented instances. In those cases, the assailant is usually rabid, starving, or a wolf-dog hybrid possessing the dog's blase attitude towards humans.

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

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

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

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

I hope everyQDe had a relaxing break. I'm sure that for many people, upon seeing their friends for the first time after Christmas, one of the first questions asked was "What did you get?" A natural question I suppose. Now, I personally asked for nothing for Christmas. I did this as a protest against the consumerism that Christmas has become entwined with. Failing people not spending money on my behalf at Christmas I asked that the money be donated to a worthy charity so that others could enjoy Christmas and so that the money could be used to make the world a better place. Sadly, both of these requests were ignored. Why? Because the people buying presents for me felt it would be unfair ifpeople around me received gifts and I didn't ... despite the fact that I requested no gifts. Now, I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I appreciate the sentiment with which the gifts were given but for me, the . same sentiment could have been achieved with no money spent, or money spent on people that really need it. Now, I want you to think back and recall how many people may have complained about a gift they received over the holidays. Just think about that poor to begin with. They lacked for a second. How many people infrastructure so there is nothing forgot that they were with family to rebuild upon. UNICEF is or friends and that someone cared facing difficulties in its efforts enough to go get something for to provide adequate nutrition to them?

Twenty percent of the world's population consumes eight percent of the world's resources. We are part of that twenty percent. We are not doing enough to help the victims of catastrophes around the world. Sure, we are sending money and supplies to Asia now, but what about in a few months when the vast majority of the population forgets about tsunamis? I encourage people to give their support to the relief efforts now but I also encourage people to continue supporting change in the world. Do your research and find out where people are suffering in the world. Then discover how you can help make a difference.

The fall was kicked off with a bang, as it usually is, with lots of rock action. We saw homegrown heroes The Golden Dogs come back for a visit at the Apollo, The Illuminati with C'mon made waves, Billy and the Lost Boys showed us that girls know how to rock, and Dayglow Abortions proved they're still punks at heart.

Last but certainly not least, Gob played a free show at Warp 9 on November 26th • The show was part of an anti-smoking campaign put on by the Ministry of Health. We all got to hear the Gob songs we're familiar with and the kiddies loved it. I can't even remember the last tim~ a known band played a free show.

Again. .• Conrad KoczorowskV Argus It was a night of opera and soccer at the 2004 World Player Galas in Italy. As the VIP crowd was overcome by the emphatic orchestra, some of the most inspirational players of the World Game walked across the stage, either as presenters of the awards, or as recipients. So all in all, there was a lot of 'samba' in the air that night. There are a few problems I have with the Gala. Perhaps my biggest problem is with the nomination of Ronaldihno to the top-prize, over Thierry Henry. Without going into an excessive The still a young player and could be recognized in future seasons. I think the biggest issue here is what tak"es . more precedence, club or international playing? Henry did not get to show off l}is skills for a lengthy period of time, since France got eliminated from Euro 2002, whereas Brazil won the Copa de l 'America. Ailother issue I have Ferreira should have been in the Top 3: he won the Champions' League and Portuguese first League with Porto FC and as a member of Chelsea FC, has one of the top defensive records in Europe.

Kiraan Posey posted a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing IO rebounds. In what proved to be a close game, E.L.

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

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.

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.

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.

It seems that the onlywayyoucangetyourmoney's worth Is to see movies on the dreaded •cheapydays. •This sums up my feelings about two of the three movies I saw this weekend. 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.

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

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

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

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

A $500 deductible fee ts placed on each piece. meaning $1000 must be paid to the Art Bank if the paintings are not recovered. This money could be used instead, as Lawson pointed out, for new furniture around the school, or art that the university could keep. The pieces were attached to the wall with locking devices, indicating that the thefts were deliberate and planned. The hallways where the two paintings were hung have no camera suiveillance as ofyet, which raises the question of safety for students .fil!.d university property. '"(We're) trying to put artwork somewhere the students could appreciate and view them", she said. Lawso11 is hoping that students having information about these thefts will report it, as was the case in the last incident.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As one might expect, the violin lines were for the most part quite vocalesque. Due to the subject matter of these songs, which dealt with love lost, Schultz sang a bittersweet air, heartfelt and tender. One hates to abuse the word "beautiful" yet I can think of no word more appropriate. • Closing-the set with the Carmen Fantasy was perfect: as the opera Carmen is familiar to many. the themes Schultz played are like old friends, welcome and well met. Choosing such material for a finale is standard practice for good reason. it works. Next week a review of The Gents concert.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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. Meech Lake, free trade, the Gsr, cross-border shopping and the greenhouse effect are all Instruments that this man has usect to hurt Canada." Kirk: "But .. . it doesn't make sense that a Canadian would want to destroy his own country."_ Spock: But Captain. he is not a Canadian. He is a Klingon with and Irish name." Chekov: "Wilthy Klingon! Captain, let us wuse our wasers to destwoy him." Kirk: "Settle down Chekov. My God Spock, how did this happen?" Spock: "Well Captain. you know those Klingons.

Spock: "No Captatn. He has an accomplice -- the former Minister of Finance. Michae1Wtlson.1broughhls government's monetary policy, Mr. Wilson managed to plunge Canada into a terrible recession. You know what that means, don't you?" Kirk: "Yes Spock. Mr. Wilson must be a Romulan since recessions are Romulans' favourite weapons.• Chekov: "Wilthy Womulanl" Spock: "Now that you know the major sources of Canada's problems, what are you going to do to save this nation?" Kirk: 'Tm not sure Spock. How about mtxing some matter and anti-matter? That worked in last month's episode." Spock: "No Captatn. You must do something with Mulroney and Wilson." Kirk: "Of course. Scotty." Scotty: "Aye Captatn." Kirk: "Okay Scotty. Now." Now that the two aliens' molecules are scattered throughout the galaxy. Canada is safe.

The agreement was finalized on Monday, September 16. 1991 between Morrow and Michael A Smith. Vice President and General Manager of.the Jets. Details of the agreement include Winnipeg sending future pro prospects from their system to playtn Thunder Bay which would enable them to gain experience at the minor-pro level.

N.H.L. 1991: The Smythe Division by John Aegard CALGARY FLAMES: Strengths... The Flames are loaded with talent. Snipers such as Joe Niewendyk. Doug Gilmour. and Theron Flemy complement tough guys Ron Stern, Tim Hunter, and checking ace Joel Otto. Better yet, there is a wealth of y.oung talent with immense potential just begtnnning to mature in Robert Reichel, Paul Ranheim, and Stephane Matteau. Toe offensive thrust from the point is unmatched in the NHL, with Al Macinnis and Gary Suter giver opposition goaltenders fits. Weaknesses .... There has been an intangible lack ofcharacter on th1s club sinceJimPeplinski and Lanny Macdonald retired, making for fine regular seasons and disappointing playoffs. Aside from ~ and a need for a little more toughness on the blueline. Players to Watch.... Theo Flemy and Paul Ranheim. Flemy will most likely slip from his stellar 51-goal campaign. Ranheim is an exciting player whose due for a breakthrough year. The Flames are cooked if.... Mike Vernon lets the crowd get under his skin. Projection.... The Flames are deeper in all areas than the Kings, except for possibly goaltending. That should cany them to a Smythe Division title. The L.A. KINGS: Strengths.... . L.A will have the most feared line in the league with the reunited duo of Wayne Gretzky and Jart Kurrt. Swede Tomas Sandstrom will move to the left side to accomodate Kurrt. In addition tyo that fearsome threesome, the Kings have top-scoring LW Luc Robitaille to anchor the second line. In goal, Kelly Hrudey is a proven talent and Daniel Berthiaume is a solid counterpart. Weaknesses.... The Kings don't have much scoring depth beyond the abovementioned players. They expect Bob Kudelski, a converted LW with 23 goals last year, to centre Robitaille. Unless Rob Blake regains last season's early form, the Kings will be without a power-play quarterback. Players to Watch.... Berthiaume and Sandstrom. Will the reappearance of Kurrt cost Sandstrom? And will Berthiaume continue his strong perlotmance or was his late-season slump the sign of things to come? The Kings are cooked if.... Gretzky gets hurt. Unlike the Penguins, the Kings aren't deep enough to weather a loss of this magnitude. Projection.... That Kurrt and Gretzky will be overwhelming is a certainty. If coach Tom Webster can co~tinue to keep the Kings playing top-notch defensively, they will challenge for top spot in the Smythe. 0 GROUP OF SEVEN TO VISIT L. U. by W Campus Rec. rate and masters.

Troy Gamble and Kirk McLean bring immense potential between the Canucks' pipes. Trevor Linden has overcome his sophomore woes to become a dominant player at light wing. Geoff Courtnall and Greg Adams bring good scoring talents to a loaded left wing that also includes hot and cold Sergio Momesso. Continued on Page 12. See "NHL" .. ..

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.

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

In addition many departments have already offered space to academic clubs. How do you plan to deal with the issues of club fundIng and the current lack of club space? I believe that the club funding situation will not be solved simply by giving more money to clubs. I plan to discuss, with each club, areas they would like. monies increased, new areas for.funding. and the 5<:JJ/o/ 50% contribution funding formula. I will.then design a new. club budget form, and mailitto club presidents over the summer.

Finding space for clubs is a Explain the financing of the Student Centre. • The Student Centre costs approximately $3. 7 million, including construction costs, professional fees (architect etc.) furniture and equipment, and assorted other costs.

The excess monies may be directed towards the loan, retiring it more quickly, may be used to overcome an· operating deficit, or may be directed towards services and programming for students. tion~ staff training will be needed in the first year.

The most important academic issue on campus right now is the proposed abolishment of supplemental exams. I feel that the best way, as students, we can ha"te liiput on this matter is to have to get together and have pro-active representation on the Senate and Senate Executive committees. We should take the first step in soMng the problem, and not wait for something to implement pro-active plans to happen.

I will strive to ourselves and then through -keep the student representainformation campaigns try and ti~ informed on how students feel on issues like supplemen- tal exams and together it is possible to make a stronger impact. Quality programming is something else that I want to improve on campus. With our new satellite dish it will now be possible to have first run movies as well as major sporting events in the new student centre. 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. The parody of Ea Suijlvan ts overdone however, a grotesque vision likely bas«r<I on some kind o,f Stone nightmare: Stone's myopic vision in this movie is tirlng. The 135 minutes spent fJt the theatre were not wasted, but they could have been spent more productively (watching Home Alo~ again fof instance).

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.

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

At the same time it might obscure some understandings smply because you're too close to it," Voorhis said. Professor Chartrand, past department head at the University of Manitoba's Native Studies program, said an ideal program would have a majority of native professors. "Aboriginal people are able to provide that perspective and more likely to reflect the aboriginal perspective." "Chartrand also said that aboriginal teachers can, through their passion and sensitivity, more accurately provide a true account of aboriginal history. �- - - - - ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TheArgus Page 3 February28.1991 . .

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

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

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

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

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, tn polluting the Persian Gulf and setting oil wells ablaze, has exceeded the environmental crimes committed by anyone 1n history. Increasing numbers of people are convtnced the planet ts at a crossroads. It appears however, that hosttlittes are coming _ to a close. The president of a Calgaiy firm, speclaliz1ng In the exttnguishtng of oil well fires, said the company wUl be one of three preparing to ship out to Kuwait. He said lt could take up to-three years to put out the fires. Now for the bad news. During the next stx months "It wUl be hard to get them out of their bunkers." This was the reaction of the president of the Canadian Consumers Association 1n Ottawa, to The 1991 Budget read in the House of Commons. He was not referring to Iraqi soldiers but to Canadian consumer's reaction to the barrage of the Goods and Services Tax and the aforementioned budget. It may not be so ironic how military metaphors lend themselves to the issue of the country's economy. On the Post-secondary Education Front, the Premier of Ontario, Bob Rae (NOP), defended Ontario's recent 8% tuition Increase by saying "There 1s no free lunch. There ~ever was a free lunch and there certainly isn't a free lunch now." ~e NDP government has tgnored"party pollcy, broken its election promise, and insulted Ontario's students by suggesting they wanted a "free ride". The Ontario Federation of Students Chairperson, nm Jackson, calls the comment "offensive and should be retracted." The Federal Budget brought down in the Ottawa House of Commons this week was charactertzed by the Canadian Federation of Students' (CFS) Chairperson, Jane Arnold, as "just one indication of how shortsighted this government really is" . Canada's Finance Minister, Michael Wilson (PC). continued the federal government's "attack on post-secondary education by extending the present two year freeze on federal transfer payments for untversittes and colleges to five years", states the CFS. The Canadian Government of Brian Mulroney will cut $775 million from post-secondary education 1n 1992-93 alone. Students-will pay 8% more in Ontario for $775 million less of education (nationally). Over five years they expect to recapture $3.8 billion. The CFS's Jane Arnold's pleads that "students represent canada's single most Important investment in the future: our ability to compete and prosper." Compete and prosper. It would appear these two levels of government have formed a "Coalition" to ,"prosecute to the fullest their resolutions to knock out the ability of any (student) to Command and Control" their future. Students can anticipate a greater percentage will only be able to attend part-tlme. It will take longer to complete their education, thereby r~uctng their earnings over the long tenn. Facilities will 1¥tve to be replaced or upgraded at a lower rate. ·• All this ls because of ·the deficit" and the need to reduce it, or so we are told. Both the Federal and the Provincial governments of the day say that their respective "deficits" were caused by the previous governments; that for the last 30 or so years, we (the country) have been lMng beyond our means: that n owe $15,000 for every citizen and child and now l!.C have to start paying tt back. Well, Premier Bob, if there "has never been a free lunch" for students in the past, why should students have to pay for your free lgnches now? Growing up, I was always told that if I wanted to have those extra-special things that I wanted, I would have to babysit. mow a lawn, deliver papers, rake leaves or earn extra money somehow because there were rio free lunches. 1bat was a lie. There were. It's Just that now the free lunches are all gone and now 1.btx want 111 to pay the bill. Remember these years well. You will recant with pride the fact that "I couldn't afford the bus fare and had to walk miles 1n -35C temperatures in the dead of winter.

I had so far to go because I couldn't afford to live anywhere but way down in Rubbytown after they kicked us 2nd year students out of rez.

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

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

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

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

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

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

By the way. I think that there are a few movies left out that deserve mention. Both Hamlet and Hunt For Red Octoberwere snubbed by the Academy and only nominated for lesser Oscars such as costume, sound and special effects. nus. however, is the way things go in the world of Hollywood politics. The Oscars will be presented on March 25th and. politics aside, it will be a star-studded night to remember. 1 a El .___P_o_w_el_l ---'I fOWJFlL EQ!lDPMFNf IJMmD B's House By MCBrianB Welcome back from the break, for those ofyou who took it.

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

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

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

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

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

SKI TEAMS _ADVANCE The men's and women's alpine ski teams have advanced to the NCSA midwest Regional Conference Finals to be held February 23rd and 24th in Cadillac: Michigan. Once again the women's team had strong finishes from Nancy Lacer, placing 2nd in the G.S. and 4th in Slalom. Next was Jodi Powell placing 4th in G.S. and 9th in Slalom. The team was concluded with good efforts from Sue Craig and Erika Varga. Ryan O'Grady and Ryan Wheatley brought the men's team to qualifying with 11th ·and 12th place finishes respectively. Jason Lapierre and Terzy Oja helped with the men's teams efforts. Both tt;ams now have a chance to advance to the NCSA National Collegiate Finals in Mt. Bachelor, Oregon this March. MATMEN LOOK FOR STRONG PERFORMANCE AT·OUAA'S L.U.'s Grapplers travel to Brock this weekend for the Ontario University Athletic Association Wrestledowns and coaches Francis Clayton and Jim Gowanlock are hoping for a strong team effort. In what has largely been a rebuilding year for L.U.'s wrestling squad, Clayton says that a fourth place finish out of the ten Ontario teams that will attend would be a positive showing. L. U. will fill nine out of the ten weight classes at the event and Clayton is confident that the majority of the team will finish high enough to qualify for the Canadian Nationals which are slated-for March 2nd and 3rd in Regina. Only the top three wrestlers in each weight cla~s get CIAU invitations, so wrestlers are understandably pumped at the Ontario's. Jim Gowanlock describes the competition like this: "The problem with wr~stling 1/> that its such an indMdual sport. Its not like basketball where one guy's down and evecyone else can carcy him. You go into a match and you're not up, you lose.'' The Argus Sports desk wishes the team good luck at Brock and knows the team will do us proud.

Come on out and support your team as they play then: last home games before the playoffs. The Lady Nor'Westers swept the sixth place western Mustangs in the ThunderDome this past weekend to nail down one of 4 available OWIAA west division playoff spots. Led by the cool efforts of veterans Kelly Williams, whose setting skills and fake set over the net tap, were in prime form, and Kelly Breutigam, whose backcourt spiking was a delight to Witness, the team, pulled together to defeat the Mustangs by scores of 15-9, 15-9, 1416 and 15-13. The highlight of Fridays set came in the fourth game when L. U. showed their collective stuff and rallied back from a 12-2 deficit. Saturday's action saw L.U. sweep the Stangs 15-13, 15-10, and 15-13 to end regular season play on a very positive note. Strong performances from recently re-recruited Leslie Ballan ·and some fine spiking from Joanne Hood along with a Geraldine Bergmans who _is beginning to adapt to her increased role promise interesting things to come for our Lady Nor'Westers. Good luck in the playoffs Ladies. MEN CAGERS DROP TWO IN WESTERN by Ian Fero Considering the fact that our men's varsity basketball team lost both games against Western the past Friday and Saturday on their court, the weekend was not a total failure. Going into the weekend affair the Westers were confidant that they could steal at least one game from the #2 nationally ranked Mustangs. Friday night it looked as if it may have come true. The men came out strong and cleaned the glass with authority. The effort was not meant to be though as they could not close • the gap within four points before finally bowing out 78-65. Coach Lou Pero was pleased with the game as they held the Mustangs (who averaged 95 points on 53% field goal · shooting this year) to 78 points on 37% field goal percentage. • Saturday proved to be an offensive affair where our men realized the scoring prowess of their foes losing 97-73. Individually, Leslie Ragguette continued his offensive explosion netting 22 points in both games while swiping 19 rebounds. Jeff Byerley returned to action after missing a pair of games with a nagging finger injucy. He went on to score 14 points Friday and 19 points Saturday despite being hampered by a minor back problem. Ray Foster and Brian Tees also cleaned house under the boards as the flu:riddled NorWesters got some QT (quality time, baby!) from all twelve players. Currently the squad is ~ocked in a battle for fourth spot. The standings, after the weekend shape up this way: 1 OUAA 8-Ball Sta"dings as of Feb 10 1991 1. Guelph, 9-1 2. Western, 9-1 3. McMaster, 7-3 4. Brock, 4-6 5. Lakehead, 4-6 Pineau, Tees, and Buchan ...trying to bring the playoffs home. 6. Waterloo, 4-6 7. Laurter, 2-8 8. Windsor 1-9 The team, 1n:a quest to bring the playoffs to the Sanders Fieldhouse, will take on Laurter this weekend at home. A pair of wins would give them a prime chance to claim the all important fourth spot.

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

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

Have a happenin' breakf Mourning a Language by Sue Mathers Outside, during Tuesday evening's City Council meeting of the Coalition on Language Tolerance (COLT) many citizens organized a candle-light vigil to "mourn the passing ... of a res~lution declartng Thunder Bay to be a unilingual city." Approximately 42 people, francophones and anglophones alike, showed their opposition to the resolution that COLT spokesman and History qepartment head Ernie Epp called "... a gratuitous slap at the Provincial Liberal government and an unnecessary statement." • Participants sang the National Anthem.in both English and French. as well as a number of traditional French folksongs. Many participants discussed the place of French in a multicultural C~ada, especially at this time of constitutional crisis.After the city council meeting, Mayor Jack Masters spoke out in favour of the vigil. The Mayor stated that although city coun~illors had passed the resolution in order to save money, it had actually cost Thunder Bay economically. Many groups have boycotted conferences originally b_ooked in the city, and other organizations are hesitant at bringing outsiders in. A particular example is the Le~~d Society's Convention, which was originally supposed to he held at Lakehead University. Organizers cancelled their stay as a result of Thunder Bay's unilingual stance. Toe resolution also raised truces for french-speaking citlzens and ~ade it I G. ·s .-T.

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

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

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

It 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 ,; ::\. ': ' · -":f ~r.· 0 ,, : ., i . -0 .I ' I •• t ~ STUDENTACCOMODATIONINTHUNDERBAY dence space available on campus. And a third factor is the lack of cheap offcampus housing. 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. St111, this is not enough to sufficiently house all the additional students. P.S. if anybody out there ltas afew hundred. thousand dollars that they don't know what to do with and we Jeettng generous please donate it.

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.

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.

They know how to have fun wherever they go. The band seems to enjoy what they are doing, which make a big difference in the way the crowd reacts.

Then, at 4:00 p.m., action is the name of the game in the Bora Laskin Gym - wheelchair basketball with Thunder Bay's best, the Bay City Rollers. You will see active participation from the community, fr~m Confederation College, who are the co-sponsors of this event, and, of course., from our own LU enthusiasts. Wheelchair basketball requires more skill than you might fmagf.ne -- tes.t this out for yourself, as you join in the warm-ups. Rumor has it that some Nor'westers fancy themselves against the Rollers, and will be there to prove it. MC will be Brian Graha,m of FM94, and we expect some notables to attend. If you want to be included on the team, call Dr. Jane Taylor at 343-8762. These events are organized to heighten awareness of the abilities of people with special needs - and also to lighten the approaching winter days with a little laughter and a little comradeship. Most people in town have not heard of "Degarmo and Key" despite ten or more successful albums, because they do all of their recording under a Christian recording label - Benson, but they proved themselves, Friday, to a packed audience in the C.L.E. auditortum. About 500 people came out to see the concert, which was part o f ~ and Key's "Ihe Pledge" tour. rnie theme for the tour is the pledge "He died for me, 111 live for Him." The concert was a full-scale productlon. with a large stage, banners, an impressive IJghting system, and an excellent, (and powerful), sound system. Ve-cy few bands put as much effort into local con- certs. Generally, we are treated as a stop-off, with bare-bones stage setups, ahd short sets. Toe opening act, E.T.W., (a Christian rap group), performed for about 40 minutes, and then Degarmo and Key played for more Ulan 2 hours. They played some stuff from older Degarmo and Key albums, some material from each of Eddie Degarmo and Dana Key's solo albums, and then the new material from 'The Pledge". Dana Key took a bit of time to explain what 'The Pledge" was all about, and then challenged the audience to take the pledge "He (ChrJst] ; died for me, 111 live for Him." Degarmo and Key gave a very powerful concert, both musically and- in message. Hopefully the success of this concert will open the doors to get more 'big name' Christian bands into town.

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.

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" ...

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.

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.

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.

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). If you are tllUU?le to reach ine directly. leave a message for me in the Psychology department Enjoy your year.
