“Day’ of Protest” There were no posters; there were no

armbands. In an interview yesterday morning Tom

Allison, the new Chairman, of the Board of External Relations told the Imprint that “the black armband idea was cpnsidered and rejected in the same way that the class boycott (which was part of OFS’ strategy) was considered and rejected . . . I don’t always get my way.” ‘

When asked why Federation of Students President Wim Simonis didn’t plan anything Allison responded, “I won’t criticize or defend Wim on this particular issue.”

Last we-ek, Allison told Imprint that he was upset over the article headlined, “Feds drop OFS Day of Protest”.

According to Allison, the Federation did have concrete plans for U W’s participation in the OFS(0ntari.o Federation of Students) Da!, of Protest. He refused to disclose what those plans were, preferring to keep the media and everyone else in suspense. He did way,

however, that “by fO:OO a.m. Thursday morning (yesterday) everyone on campus is going to know what we’re doing.”

Allison said that students would be informed in sufficient time as to what to do as a form of protest. He added that it would take little effort for students to become involved.

Jmprint found out that Allison was planning to have students, faculty and staff wear black- armbands during the day of protest. Posters were to go up Wednesday afternoon telling students where togo to pick up theirarmbands.

Last week Allison told Imprint that part of the reason Waterloo would be maintaining a low profile for the day of protest was that he had been an executive for only a couple of weeks. Hesaid that the outgoingcouncil hadn’t planned anything and there was not enough time for the new people to do anything about it.”

Allison also said that he is “hoping to work with Imprint to raise student consciousness.”

CS cutbacks * anger students: me&big held -

General Math students banded together when they were hit where it hurts: right in the Computer Science courses.

i>ver 200 of them met Wednesday with the Chairman of the Computer Science Department, Janusz Brzozowski, and several Computer Science (CS) professors, including V. (Arnie) Dyck, Undergraduate Officer, to discuss recent restrictions placed on student enrolment in CS coures.

“The problem, basically, is very simple,” Brzozowski said, “there are too many of you (students) and too few of us (faculty).”

Brzozowski said that the problem of not having enough qualified CS teachers is evident v not only at Waterloo but all across North America and perhaps the world.

These restrictions apply to all faculties: * All computer science courses labelled 340 or higher are restricted to third- and fourth-year students. * \ All computer science courses labelled 440 or higher are restricted to fourth-year students. * All first- and second-year students are restricted to at most one computer science course each term. * All third- and fourth-year general (and pass) students are restricted to at most two computer science coureses each term. * All third- and four-year honours students are restricted to at most three computer science courses each term. * All third- and fourth-year honoursstudents are restricted to at most three computer science courses each term. . * Registration in computer science 448 and ‘482 is restricted to fourth- year honours computer science students. Equivalent courses, computer science 338 and 432, are available for other students. * Spring enrolment in computer science courses other than computer science 140 will be limited to students enrolled in co-operative programmes. The rule particularly affects foreign students -who are ineligible for co-op - wanting to take spring computer science courses. * Co-op students on work term during spring won’t be able to take spring computer science courses. A

* Co-op students on work term dur.ing spring won’t be able to enrol in computer science courses. * Spring enrolment in computer science courses by part timestudents, . as well as full-time non-degree students, as well as full-time non-degree students, will be restricted to computer science 1 12, 1 15 and 1 16 on campus and computer science 116/ 117 by correspondence.

Brzozowski said that the normal,,source of new CS faculty is recently graduated PhD students. He said that there are only about 200 such graduates in all of North America each year; Canada produces about 19; 6 of these were from U W. This creates severe problems,

because there are 36 CS departments in Canada and many of the graduates are not Canadian citizens - the federal government discourages the hiring of non-Canadian

professors. “Academic Computer Science has ceased to be an attractive career” Brzozowski said,

citing that overcrowded classes, obsolete equipment, a lack of research funding, and non- competitive salaries, are deterrents to prospective faculty. /

Many of the students in attendance were-upset that they had been cut off from taking coureses that they had wanted without receiving any advance notice. Brzozowski replied, “You people didn’t give us any notice-that you’d be taking all the same courses.” A number of students disagreed, saying that the department should be able to predict the number of people enroling in upper year CS courses based on first year statistics.

‘Brzozowski concluded the meeting by commenting that there were no short term answers and that the students should “bear with us”. Peter Saracino

Attitude im Dortaizt: survey d

A survey of UW ~0-0~ employers has shown that “attitude” and “work experience” were t

a e most impor-t

tant criteria us d when ranking students for their company’s co-op jobs.

The survey .was conducted last summer by the Student Advisory Council to the De- partment of Co-ordination and Placement. The questionnaire asked recruiters to list, in order of importance, the tcriteria used when ranking students for’ co-op jobs. The questionnaire Listed eight possible factors and allowed for others to be added. There were 528 responses out of a possible 900.

/ Overall the student’s “atti-

tude” and “work experience” were judged to be of prime importance to the majority of recruiters with attitude slightly ahead. “Personality” l+‘as‘ judged to be the third most important criterion. Ranked closely together in fourth, fifth and sixth place were “grades”, “relevant courses taken” and “work term evaluations”. Of least importance, in seven<h and eighth place were“appear- ante’” and “extra curricular activities”.

The results were reasonably consistent across all faculties with a few exceptions. In H.K.L.S “personality” was ranked slightly ahead of“work experience”, and in‘ science’ “grades” were in third place.

The Student Advisory Council emphasizes however that different criteria would be used when employers pre- screen applicants for co-op interviews. At this stage the employer only has your resume, grades and work term evaluation *to base his selection.

for preiscreening applicants. Keith Konzuk of Federal Pioneer Ltd. stated that his criteria for PI-e-screening would be (in order of importance): “work experience”, “work term evaluatio’ns” and “grades”.

Gary Thomas and Roly Stork of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources said that

their criteria for pre-screening students would be “work experience”, “ relevant courses taken” and thirdly “work term evaluations”. Both employers tended to downplay grades pointing out that at UW you are dealing with intelligent students anyway, and grades do not necessarily indicate a persons potential to become a good engineer. The comment was made, however, that recruiters for research positions may have slightly different criteria for selectjng - students. John Spews

I P m rint leaves I- national

Many things happenin student organizations that students never find out about. Usually, Imprintattempts todetect these things, and should they have some significance to the student body at large, expose them.

Imprint itself is such an organization and our dealings outside the campus may ble of interest. Students should perhaps know of Imprint’s recent withdraw1 from Canadian University Press.

What is Canadian University Press .(CUP)?

CUP is an organization of approximately fift.y student newspapers across the country, who exchange news, feature material, and expertise with one another. CUP is a $lOO,OOOa yearenterprise, which employs three workers at the national office in Ottawa, and a fieldworker (and in some cases a bureau chief in addition to the fieldworker) to serve each region of CUP - Ontario, the West, Quebec, and the Atlantic.

Imprint receives weekly a news package (a synthesis of the news of these papers), approximately monthly a features package, and fieldworking (helpful seminars and advice from an ex-student newspaper type hired by the region). This service costs Imprint’ approximately $8,500 per year, approximately one tenth of our operating budget.

By belonging to CUP, Imprint also belongs to CUP-Media Services, a

-national advertising-procuring organization that supplies Imprint with $15,000 - $20,000 per year in national adver- tisements.

CUP provides a conference each yearat Christmas at which approximately 200 student journalists gather to make the decisions which affect CUP for the foI!lowing year. In essence, the student newspapers control the organization.

The member papers from each region gather four times during the publishing year for weekend conferences. Plenary sessions are held’ where the business of each region is decided and seminars (newswriting, entertainment writing, sportswriting, layout and production, autonomy, staff structure, ad design, etc.) are conducted. The Ontario Region held ( conferences this year in Waterloo, Toronto ,and Sudbury. The last conference of the year will be in Ottawa.

Two weeks ago, Imprint staff voted 12 for, 4 against, organization.

1 spoiled, leaving this

There was a great deal of discussion on staff about this move; at one staff meeting the Ontario Region fieldworker was present; at another, the CUP president.

The Ontario Region president has been an Imprint staffer for three years.

Voting took place over a one-week period, by secret ballot, to encourage as many staff as possible to participate.

The question of CUP fees was not the main issue of the discussion - discussion centred around whether or not it was worthwhile for Imprint to belong to the national organization: whether it was of any intrinsic use to us, and if it was worthwhile for us to continue1 in the organization (considering our partici-

‘pation rate in it has been very low this year). If anything, money was a question of principle rather than amount: “Is it worth paying anything to belong to an organization we don’t use effectively?”

(Imprint’s financial future seems secure. We can afford to stay in CUP - or not. It is believed that our advertising . manager can secure almost as many national advertisers next year for Imprint as CUP-Media Services does this year.)

.. There are good arguments for both sides of the CUP .membership issue. Staff members who support CUP feel that it’ provides essential services. The services CUP provides - Media Services, the news, and feature and graphics exchange, fieldworkers, style guide - can only help Imprint; certainly their presence does no harm. CUP provides a necessary link between student papers across Canada, : keeping the communication lines open. A national organization of student papers is in the best interests of all its members. Students at UW benefit from reading what is goin’g on at other campuses.

Iqzprint staff who don’t 4upport CUP argue the other way. CUP services are not essential to the survival of Imprint. We can get our own national ads. The news and feature exchanges are easily replaced * if Imprint has enough volunteers on staff. Imprint already receives papers from across the country, even from non-CUP members. If we want to run a story from any other paper, it only takes a phone call to get that paper’s permission. There is also a small plus in not having the news exchange around. If we have to search for outside copy ourselves, we’ll be less

‘inclined to use it as “filler” and more inclined to. write our own stories.

Imprint doesn’t deny that the fieldworkers are a great aid. But we have alrea,dy proven to ourselves that we have our own experts on staff whoare willing to I share theirknowledge. One of last year’s news “editors (and this year’s ORCUP President) has already held excellent news writing seminars - a job the fieldworker and CUP normally do. Imprint staff . members are capable of doing the fieldworker’s job if we ask them to.

CUP has its own problems, some. Imprint staff believe. At times it seems that it isn’t doing its job. Some papers (mostly in Ontario) don’t communicate with each other when they are members any more than when they are not. Instead of coming around at the beginning of the year to offer advice, the CUP people , stayed away until Imprint had started its membership review.

CUP needs restructuring. As it stands, it doesn’t work. And to perpetuate a system ‘that doesn’t work is even worse than pulling out., Cathy McBride

Fed board to assure student representatiqn It appears that student seats

on the university Senate are not a popular item, or just that students missed the small announcement in the Gazette advertising the openings.

Nominations for the four student seats were opened recently, and only one bf the senate attracted any takers. Two matL students are vying for the ‘student-at-large’ seat, .while seats in Arts, Science and Environmental Studies/ Integrated Studies failed to attract any interested students.

These four seats are for two year terms beginning this April and ending March 30; 1984. There are also four student seats elected on alter- nating twoyearcyclesand thus will come up for nominations in the winter of 1983.

There was some concern on the part of students that there was no biographical information sent ou,t with the ballots, thus reducing the voting to a matter of random choice.

W,hen contacted by the /mprint, the office of the university Secretariat stated that there was nc biographical information sent out simply because the twostudents had not submitted anything. It was indicated that had they sent in some information that it would have been sent out with the ballots.

However, one of the candi- dates for the student-at-large seat, Bruce Glasford, told Imprint that he was given no indication that biographical informatioii could be submitted and that the nomination form simply asked for the signatures of ten under&-a- duate students.

When asked whether these seats must stay vacant for the full two year term, Elaine Cadell of the Secretariat offic’e stated that a by-election could be held if a petition were presented to their office. A petition consists of the signa- ture of ten students from the constituency that is being contested.

This situation may be reme- died, however, if Federation of Students president’ Wim Simonis is able to implement a policy which he is working on

Sasani ta A record number of stu-

dents, staff, and faculty participated in the Carhpus Centre Games Room Pinball Tourna- ment last week but the margin of victory was the smallest ever.

Farshid Sasani plabed first in the tournament with Gary Beal and Paul Fong finishing second and third respectively.

Prtiliminaries were held March 1st and 2nd on three

lires pinball trophy machines: Black Hole, Time Line aild Flight 2000. Parti- cipants played two games on each with their best efforts counting as their tournament scdres.

Fifteen players reached the finals which were held March 4th. The finals consisted of three games each of Black Hole and Time Line with the individual’s best score on each machine being used.

The difference between first - and second was a mere 1,020

points (300,000 points wins a free game on Black Hole; 800,000 on Time Line), which can be attained by hitting only one extra target.

All three winners will receive trophies. As well, Sasani will have his name engraved on the Pinball Tournament Win- ner’s Plaque hanging in the Games R,oom.

Davis asks for closures . \ TORONTO (CUP) - Ontario premier William Davis has asked the province’s universities to consider closing one of their seven law schools and one of their eight education faculties.

The request was presented recently at a closed meeting of university presidents and board of directors , chair- persons.

Davis mad: the suggestion as an Fxample of how the universities might deal with financial problems. Hedid not specify any particular faculty that should be closed.

Council of Ontario Univer- ‘sities communications officer William Sayers said. closing a faculty would not really alle- viate financial problems, “Say you did close one to save money. If there was still student demand and the students were accepted, it would put a different strain on the system. If they were denied, they would be frustrated.”

A%cqrding to Johns McGiveny, University of Windsor’s board chairperson, Davis urged university offi- cials to eliminate duplication of services and said there is one law school to many.

Peter Atherton, dean of edvcation at Brock Univer- sity, and chairperson of the Ontario Association of Deans of Education, said closing a

faculty of education would not save money. Government grants are related to the number of students and if closing one faculty re&lted in an increase in enrolment at another institution, the government would be paying out

. the same amount, he said. Frank Iaccobucci, dean of

the University of Toronto’s

law faculty, made the same point, “There’s nothing to prevent a school from closing down and the faculty picking up enrolment in .other areas.”

According to assistant deputy m,inister Dan Wilson, the ministry of colleges and universities has no plan to implement the premier’s su& gestion.

Schools to militarize? i (RNR/.CUP) - The head of California’s school system has come up with a novel way to protect schools from government budget cuts: turn education programs over to the, Pentagon.

Wilson . Riles, of the California Department of -Education, says the Defense Department had a hand in one of the first federal education programs -established after the Russians launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957 - and says involving the Pentagon would assure that school programs are a top priority item.

Still, Riles says he’s hopeful it won’t come to that. “Reagan tends to be reasonable if you get to him.” said Riles. “Unfortunately, I don’t see many people getting to him.” .

The negative letter elicited doubt about the candidate’s successes and lent credence to his failures. The neutral letter, as much as the commendatory one, had the opposite effect. ,

Criticism, unfortunately, has more impact than praise on hiring decision -so be sure that your references have at least neutral opinions of you.

NDP gov’t freezes Manitoba~ students tuition fees

WINNIPEG (CUP) - Manitoba students were hand- ed an unexpected reprieve when the new NDP government’s throne speech was read February 25 - their tuition - fees will be froien in 1982-83.

University administrators, however, warn that days of painful cutbacks may not be over yet. They say t he universities will be able to freeze tuition fees only if they are granted enough funding to maintain existing services.

Each university has the final say in setting tuition fees. but the decisions are heavily influenced by how much the government funds t,hem’ through the provincial Uni- versity Grants Commission (UGC).

1 he UGC will make a special grant of $1.6 million to compensate the University of Manitoba for revenue it will lose from, the fee freeze. Smaller grants will be given to the other two universities. These compensatory payments would not come as deductions from normal block funding.

Naimark said he had ‘“information” that the UGC grant will fall “substantially short of the 18.4 per cent in the asking budget.” If the UGC gives less than 18.4 per cent in funding increases, the U of M wili again face the dilemma of raising fees or cutting services.

University of Winnipeg president Robin Farquhar con- curs with Naimark. Farquhar said the freeze, announcement is good news, but only if the UGCapproves the university’s 18.3 per cent funding increase.

courses had been slashed. Those severe cutbacks are

considered a major factor in the dramatic swing in the student vote to “the NDP in I98 1. The most evident swing was in Brandon West, where the shift to the NDP among Brandon University, students was so pronounced it swung

the riding to the NDP for the first time.

The Manitoba announcement was also in startling contrast to actions at the University of British Colum- bia, where the university board of governors responded ‘ to a mounting deficit by raising tuition fees 32 per cent.

No other provincial government has made such an unequivocal statement on how it would respond to planned reductions in federal transfers to the provinces used to fund post-secondary education.

The provincial and federal governments are now locked in a series of negotiations over revenues, guarantee payments and equalization transfers. Other provincial governments are playing it safe, refusing to reveal what they will do if the federal government goes ahead with the plans,, it announced in the November 12 budget.

N,o one is sure what the net effect on provincial revenues of the complex tax changes outlined in the budget would

be. Estimates of the net revenue loss over the next five years have *varied from $1.9 billion to $9.2 billion. The most widely-accepted esti- mate is that of the Globe and Mail, that provincial revenues would be a ‘minimum of $3.5 bilhon less than if present arrangements were. continued for the next five years.

The federal cuts are not absolute cuts, but relative to what they would be under present .arrangements.

The provinces oppose these cuts.- They have tried to maintain a unified front in the confusing maze of negotiations since N0vembe.r. They have said that <he federal cuts would greatly reduce the amount of money they have available for advanced education.

uniyersiti s The federal government

answers that the provinces have not bee’n pulling their weight in funding advanced ed’ucation, even though it is their jurisdiction under the British North America Act. They say‘the provinces must assume a higher share of the costs.

Recently, the , federal government unilateraily threatened to go ahead with its proposed budget changes effective March 3 1. The provinces want to continue negotiations in hope of a breakthrough.

The federal government says it is pessimistic about the chances for a quick deal. But, except for Saskatchewan, the provinces still refuse to reveal their contingency plans, if indeed they have any.

I

The announcement by Pre- mier Howard Pawley’s NDP government is in sharp contrast to Manitoba policy under Progressive Conservative Sterling ‘Lyon, whose re- election bid was defeated November 17. Under Lyon, Manitoba universities record- ed slumps in funding with spiralling tuition fees each year.

The Univeristy of Winnipeg requested a 14.8 per cent grant increase to keep pace with inflation in 1978, but the UGC approved ‘a 1.2 percent allot- ment; in i979it again asked for 14.8 per cent, and received 7.1 percent;in 1980therequestfor 14.3 percent resulted inagrant of 8.3 per cent.

A demonstration by 800 students in front of the provincial legislature in 198 I, a> election year, may have influenced the government’s decision to grant’the U of W the full 14.6 per cent funding increase it requested.

By then, though, U of W tuition fees had climbed from $425 in 1977 to $670, the university had been forced to run down its operating surplus, class sizes had been increased and equipment, services, library acquisitions and

The term micro is actually just a prefix which ‘designates equipment that takes advantage of a process called large scale integration (LS!), more commonly referred to as chip technology. That is, the process bywhich thousands of circuits and transistors are layered and junctioned on top of a silicon chip that can vary in size from the head of a pin to the size used in micros, about one and half square inches. It is the reduction in size that characterizes the microcomputers.

It is these units that dictate how powerful (i.e. the languages a computer can handle) a particular computer will be. Thus the microprocessor is the vital /piece of hardware in the micro computer, but is the least visible.

The most visible hardware of the computer is, of course, the keyboard and the cathode-ray tube (CRT) display screen. These can be integrated into one unit which. resembles a simple computer terminal or they can be separate in a modular system.

Video games are relatively cheap, averaging around fifty dollars each.

The main memory of a computer consists of

The ROM memory contains any permanent data suchas program instructions, tables, utility

a Read Only Memory (ROM) and the Random

routines, error alarms, etc. and this data can be read and used by the computer but the data

Access Memory (RAM). The maximum storage

cannot be manipulated in this memory.

capabilities of the main memory is 64K for an eight bit microprocessor. Full sixteen bit processors are only being tested at this time, but this is the next step to power-up micro\ processors.

Both the keyboard and the CRT display are referred to as input/output devices.

Since the microprocessor only deals with information in binary form; that is, all information is represented by either a one or a zero, the keyboard must translate written characters into an ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). This code is standard for all microprocessors except the IBM’s which used an EBCDIC code (Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Information Code).

RAM memory on the other hand can contain data that can be transferred in and out of memory or can be manipulated while in memory. The amount of memory that the user has access to is located in the RAM, but any data put into RAM is volatile, that is, it will disappear when the computer is shut off.

If the keyboard is regarded as the first step in information processing then the CRT screen would be considered the last processAfter the incoming data has been processed in machine code, the outcoming code is sent through a character generator which sends real characters and numerals ontothe display screen.

To’ overcome the limitations of a small amount of RAM storage and the problem of volatility, external memory storage can be

. provided. The cheapest way to do this is to store data, programs, or files on magnetic tape of the common cassette variety. While cheap this method is very slow and inefficient. The more preferred device is a diskette system. This system utilizes a small floppy or flexible plastic disk which has a magnetized surface on which information is stored. To operate this system a disk drive is needed. Some of the more expensive microcomputers have built-in disk

solbare . The term software generally refers to the

programs or sequence of instructions which have been written by a user in order to execute certain functions or operations. Programs are commonly written in high level languages such as FORTRAN, COBOL, etc. then translated by an interpreter into many binary instructions. More specifically a compiler takes the high level language and translates that into algorithms which specify a series of binary operations that will solve a problem. In some instances an assembly language,*which is a direct symbolic represention of the binary instructions, can be used to [mplement an assembler program. An assembler program then converts the assembly language instructions into the suitable binary instructions.

Of all the software packages offered by the manufacturers, it is the games packages thai sell the home computer. Versions of Space Invaders, sports games, chess, etc. are al available on the various micros.

sotire costs The memory capabilities of a computer is

measured in bytes, with one byte capable of holding one ASCII character’or two EBCDIC digits. This follows from the fact that-a byte can handle a unit of eight bits, or eight O’s or 1 ‘sand the ASCII code utilizes seven bits to represent each typed character. Bytes are generally referred to in terms of K which’ is 1024 bytes, therefore a 64K memory can store64 x 1024 bytes. Larger memory capabilities are des- ignated by the term megabyte which is a million bytes. .

Since programming in FORTRAN, COBOL, etc. can be complicated, and the micro manufacturers want to sell their products as home

I . computers that. anyone can use, they had to come up with a fairly simple language. So they developed BASIC, Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. The language is easy to learn, and is all-purpose, but is not very powerful in any one area. Most micros do accept. other languages such as PASCAL, which is a highly structured data oriented language; FORTRAN, or FORmula TRANp lator, a language used in scientific applications or COBOL, Common Business Oriented Language, used for business applicatrons. There is also APL, A Programming Language which has very powerful mathematics ap plications. Of course these languages are not as powerful on a micro as they are on& mainframe andare sometimes prefixed by the word micro to denote these limitations.

All micro manufacturers offer software packages for their machines that eliminate the need for the user to write any programs of their own, For instance, most of the machines have a “home budget” type of program. All the user does is plug in the cartridge or disk, press a key, perhaps the inquire key and a list of budget areas or a menu comes on the screen. The user then picks which area is appropriate, perhaps entertainment, and proceeds to press the key that corresponds to that area. Then, perhaps a series of questions comes on the screen, such as “How much would you like to spend on enter tainment this month?’ These questions require a simple numeric answer which is then put intc memory. After this process is completed for all areas of the budget, the computer will tell you how much over your income you are and suggest that you cut back in some area. Noi very sophisticated but at least you can tel people that you have a computer-managec accounting system.

computers to talk to each other. This would be a totally interactive system since both individuals could send and receive information from each other. This simple network would be beneficial if one of the micros had supporting hardware that the other one (didn’t. If one individual wanted hard copy but didn’t have a printer, but his friend did, then the programs could be run on the one micro and printed out on the other. The same- idea applies tostoring information/in another machines memory or storage facilities.

Networks can also be very large, such as the Datapac network in Canada. This network allows access to most of the large mainframe computers in Canada, and in conjunction with the two large United States networks, Telenet and Timenet many large computers in the U.S. These networks facilitate long distance communications with mainframe computers that may have programs or information retrieval systems that are useful to a user across the continent from where the main computer is. Two people could also collaborate on a single project using a mainframe computer in another country. Co-op students who want to continue their research while on work terms can have access to the Honeywell system or the IBM on campus through the Datapac network.

There can also be local networks set up where the micros are in relatively close physical proximity‘ to each other, suchlas a university campus or large office building, by simply using a coaxial cable system. This is presently being attempted at this university,although so far only the math building has been wired and that is being tested now.

One of the more publicized network concepts is the Telidon system or Videotex. This is a government project that eventuallywill lead to a complete information service available to anyone who has a terminal.

Using a Micro Although there are variations on a theme,

there are three basic ways that a person can _ 8utilize a microcomputer. -

The first is as a stand alone device, that is, the user is satisfied with the power and memory

‘- capabilities of the micro by itself. Although the, micro may have all kinds of supporting hardware such’ as disk drives, plotters and printers, all the information processing is done within that microsystem. -

A second way of utilizing a micro is to us a itas’ either a smart or dumb terminal and interface it with a mainframe computer. When used as a dumb terminal, the information that is keyed into the micro is simply sent on to the larger mainframe computer by an input/output port where the information is processed and then sent back to the screen of the micro. ’

As an .intelligent or smart terminal,; the computing power of a mainframe can supplement that of the micro. A software program would have to be written that would allow small routines or perhaps subroutines to

’ be run on the micro while the larger routines would be sent to the mainframe. Mainframes may only be needed to provide larger amounts

’ of spaceforfiles, which then can be accessed by the micro.

A third way of utilizing a micro is to interface it , with a network of some sort. To do this a micro must have an RS232 port which allows an acoustic coupler to be interface the micro with the public telephone network. A simple type of network would consist of an individual with a friend across town or across the country who has a similar micro. One person phones up the other, both parties put the telephone headsets on the acousticcouplers, thus allowing the

:Forum bk Student Writers *

This term, the English Society has presented readings by, poets Francis Spar- shott (Toronto) and Barry McKinnon (B. C.), and dis- tinguished novelists Rudy Wiebe, Margaret Atwood, Richard Wright,andon March 19 - Alice Munro. However, on March 4, the English Society hosted a very special event that was perhaps more significant than the previous ones. The’ opportunity was made available to listen to aspiring poets and short Story

/ writers of the University of Waterloo community.

One of the purposes of the Forum was to provide needed exposure andencouragement to student writers. As well, these seven student writers from different backgrounas had the opportunity to meet one another and gain inspiration fromeach other’s unique expressions. Indeed, we all needed to be inspired by the creative energy thtit flowed from each writer.

We’ve now established a precedent for Student For urns, and we must continue the tradition. If you would like to read your writing, whether it be poetry, short stories or parts of a novel, please contact the English Society. We’d like to plan Student Forums for the future.

I turned the knob that rang the bell on the door of the old fashioned house

Mom sent me for piano lessons . at Miss Spinster MacVee’s.

I walked over every Thursday after school, carrying my music in a leather bag and singing dh-ty words to the music I had practised all week.

s I sat squirming on the stool \ that was never right for my bum and I wanted to sing the lovely dirty words to Miss Precise MacVee as I play’ed the dull music. The words were such fun, so exciting, they made me laugh and squirm.

I What would Miss Metronome MacVee do or say if I sang the dirty words? rolling them clearly around the black notes on the page, bending the music, moving the rests to suite the mood of my lusty words.

Then her ruler would descend on my discordant fingers and I would look at her, as unbending and unrelenting as the metronome on her piano. I never sang those lovely dirty words to her, she never knew the music . written in my heart, the songs my soul sang. I was’just another - tolerate,

. squirming, talentless, $1.50 weekly.

No one ever heard the laughing music of/my soul, - the duets of rebellion and freedom

or the soaring chords of creativity. I nevet sang it; ’ . \., it’s still there aching to come out.

Now it shocks me too , when I sing it to myself. Beautiful words like fuck no longer roll glibly off my mind nor hold the thrill of the uninitiated. But the laughter and the music are s_till there undaunted bye Metronome MacVees, changing with the years and still wishing I had dared to sing.

I waited holding my bouquet looking absently at the window in the door

A movement caught my eye - fingers snapping insanely, head lolling side to side, she stood silhouetted by the kitchen window in the very back of the house

I rang again 1

and waited - watching closely now She shook herself, put a hanky in her hand - and walked firmly-to the door

We walked into the hall my hand upon the door I said “Goodbye, I’ll come again How pleasant it has been.”

She laid the bouquet on the stand reached out, and fondly touched my hand “How welcome you have been,” she said “How lovely the bouquet.” Her hand withdrew the movement grew - that strange and silent snapping

. Aboul Martin

I should write a story for Martin. I should write it because: (a) he would like it if I wrote a story for him. But it may make him nervous at first. I mean it may make him nervous until he’s finished reading it because he won’t know until then that there is nothing nasty written about him in the story. I , wouldn’t write anything nasty about Martin because there is nothing nasty that I could truthfully write and even if there was I wouldn’t write it down (although I might tell Lorna). Martin knows that I wouldn’t write a nasty thing about him, but he might worry anyway. Martin is like that. I’ll tell him that there is nothing nasty in it before I let him read it and then maybe I won’t have a problem. Maybe.

I should write it because: (b) I really should write something new. It seems all Iever do is rewrite and retype old stories. And I’m bored with typing them. My fingers want a challenge, a new arrangement of letters, different sentence lengths. If I was writing/typing for my fingers’ sakes alone, then I would write a poem because’they wander all over the page and there are no paragraphs to worry about. But., I’m supposed to be writing for Martin and he doesn’t really care about how it is typed (although he’ll appreciate the fact that it is typed because he doesn’t like to read my writing and he’ll also appreciate the effort - the physical effort of the typing), rather he cares about what it says. This is partly because he’s worried that it may say something nasty, and partly because he knows that I’ll make him read it.

Martin likes very vivid, imaginative, colourful but at the same time precise, concise, elegant descriptions. I’m not too crazy about adjectives myself, but I do know a few,. I’ll use ’ them when I write the story for Martin.

What will I write about? Good question. Martin likes nice stories, but I’m a bit too crabby to write nicey-nice things. I get all confused about what other people think‘is nice so it’s hard to find something to write about. Every now and then I’ll hit it lucky, however, and write a nice story without realizing it. If someone tells me that it’s a nice story then I’m surprised and I wonder what it is that makes it nice. Usually they can’t explain this to me. Maybe I’ll understand it someday. It would probably be easier for me if I had a maternal instinct, but I don’t. I’d rather have books than children. Books are quieter. What other kind of story would Martin like?

Maybe I’ll write about Martin. ’ Martiri

When M. P. de G. was a very little boy he looked out his window and identified cars by their make and year. When he was a little older, after his parents had moved him to Canada, he identified stamps by their place and date of issue. When he was a little older still he became so obsessed by the age of things that he only bought used clothing and most of his books were second-hand as well. This obsessionprogressed to such an extent that he finally had to change his major to history. He is still studying history so he doesn’t feel too guilty about buying new clothes or freshly printed books on occasion.

Now Martin studies history and he studies people by the lines and expressionsthat appear on their faces. Martin isn’t a leg man, he’s a face man. Martin isn’t a billboard either . . . just ask him. He’ll say, “I’m a man, not a billboard.” I’m not sure if that’s an exact quote only because I’m not sure if he says the comma. .

Martin says he likes my face. My face isn’t as worried as my hands are, but it does have quite a few lines. I got those lines from being crabby so I’m particularly fond of them even though every now and then I drown them in beauty cream threatening them all the while with imminent erasure. Poor things.

Martin has lines on his face, too. Sometimes I would like to paint red and blue in the little creases, maybe some green as well.‘1 gave Martin some of my beauty cream to drown out his wrinkles and he uses it too.‘I like-to be there when he puts it on so that I can see the cream in the crevices befoie it soaks in. His face drinks the cream faster than mine does so he has to buy his own now, I can’t afford to support his habit. Maybe I should never have gotten him hooked.

Martin is working very hard these days so I call him up to make him laugh or I call him up and be crabby to him. This is to make him forget his work for awhile. I’m sure both of these distracting techniques work equally well, but I prefer the latter. The former is Martin’s favourite, however:

Well, that’s that.,A story for Martin. His story, Hisstory, History.

Perspective A child’s fantasy

If I squeeze my eyes shut tight, I see all kinds of neat colors. They go swirling Bround and around. Then I squeeze my eyes even tighter, and sometimes, I get to be in the colors.

I’m on a leaf in the middle of a pond. I think maybe it’s a lily pad, cause real close by there is a soft huge white thing and it smells like a flower. It’s really great to lean on cause it smells so neat. I guess I must haveshrunk to get here, but I think I like being small. A little bit further away I can see a thing in the air. I know that it is some kind of an insect, but it doesn’t look the same when you are so much smaller than it. Maybe it’s a fly - but it has some beautiful colors I’ve never seen before; they glisten in the sunlight. The fly (I’m sure now that that is what it is) is coming closer, and I can hear it throbbing, it sounds sort of like an engine running. Oh-oh, I think it’s going to land on my lily pad.

“Hey, don’t land here, you’ll squish me. Can’t you see me?” Hey, it’s‘nice to be back in my room on my bed. I don’t think I’ll play the colors

game anymore today.. It’s kind of scarey to be almost squashed by a fly.

the leaves are dropping sof on the shoulder of the pot a plant is tired, thirsty and dying.

small white hands lay limp on the spread eyes J closed J tired J lips feverish J thirsty a child is dying.

Woman

Leaves flickered amber and red spinning to the pavement; a shaft of bronze illuminated an aging woman and her two companions.

She wore autumn sweaters knotted hair a poise of contentment; shuffled steady down the road halting briefly to gaze into surrounding dreams veiled by tree-lined sidewalks large old homes.

Her friends two old dogs, one hobbled ahead ’ wincing arthritic joints : 1, content nose glancing about the cool musty leaves; the other rode on a child’s wagon pulled by the woman’s hand, happy to be along this stroll of memories.

The woman spoke in a whisper, her dogs-replied turning to look where she pointed at days gone by and remembered nodding their heads.

The three companions ambled time , to the end of the block and turning vanished from sight.

Social comments fbund in Drink. the MerczAry It was a play that didn’t have

a happy ending. In fact, although the acting ended, the play did not. It is a play that will be acted out in real life many times, and will continue to be played out until the audience becomes angry enough to stop the play.

This is a play about the families of Minima@, a Japan- ese fishing port, and in particular the life of a small girl nameayoka, from her birth until she is nine years old. It is a play about families who fished the sea for generations and trusted the sea. It is also a play about a factory, the Chinsu factory, that began producing

. plastics and dumping the leftover mercury in the water.

It is also the story of how, after the first signs of mercury poisoning were found, an unsuspecting company doctor, diagnosed the illne-ss as being caused by his own comp>ny and how after re- porting this to his company they told him to stop his investigation and say nothing. It is the story of how, for ten years this doctor kept silent while the company proclaim- ed its innocence from any wrongdoing, and even persu- aded a government committee to keep quiet when the committee came to the same conclusion as the doctor.

But most important, it is a story about how the villagers united dnd declared war on the company; and how other villages supported them and raised money in order to buy the victims of the poisoning shares in the company, and how enough villagers bought shares and went to the annual shareholders meeting with a container of mercury-poison-

ed water and ,demanded that the -chairman of the board “Drink the Mercury”.

After a cancellation of the scheduled performance, Jan. 30, the Young Peoples Theatre of Toronto performed their play Drink the Mercury last Saturday in the Humanities Theatre. Unfor- tunately, due to the resched- uling or for other reasons, the play did not attract a large audience.

This is unfortunate because the play is perhaps the most powerful play that has been presented in the childrens im- agination series. It is certainly the strongest example of a play used to present a social- political comment. The acting company obviously .felt that a pre-teen audience was fair ‘game for some fairly heavy consciousness-raising. The death of nine year old Yoka, who the day before her death told reporters that she wanted to get better And ride on a ship over the sea, was very powerful, as was the scene in which a father told of the torment his son was gc,ing through as a result of the mercury poisoning and how his son had tried three times to commit suicide; one time- he failed only because the rope broke.

The production of the play was extremely competent, due to the fact that the actors appeared to be totally committed to this type of theatre and particularly committed to the problem of mercury and other environmental pol- lutants.

One way to gauge how successful a production has been is to look at how the various parts of the play fit together or blend together. In a weak pro-

There were many new songs in Hill’s selection Tues- day night but his greatest hits category was still well represented. He started his two set, two hour performance with Don’t Giue Up On Love and ended withHold On and yes, he did sing Sometimes When We Touch.

The new material was interesting; the grown up boy was looking beyond his libido to less immediate, but still very personal., concerns. He sang for a survivor of Vietnam who had to fight a war of politics after fighting a war of blood; he sang for a ’ lady of 75 who wanted to commit suicide and he sang about the dilemma facing young musicians facing their parents with the decision that they actually want to do their “hobby” for a living.

The second half of the show was,! think, the more successful. This was almost exclusive- ly mask work+nd again, it was a show of technical expertise. They are very talented; they are very good with the masks. Masks with toilet paper rolls for eyes, ears, nose and mouth; masks with notepads so that the expressions can change (rip off a sheet of notepaper and a new eye is beneath); masks that blow bubbles. Occasionally, there was a pale blush of social commentary, like when the two people with faces made of blocks played checkers (on one’s face, of course) to gain control of the blocks.’

There was this flower-thing, with a big balloon as the bloom, and it kept shooting its head off, into the audience. The audience was co-operative; they threw it back.

and legend-of Simon Girty, the “White Indian’:.

Girty was one of the early Loyalist settlers in Upper Canada.-As an agent for the British Indian Department, he led raids against the American settlements in Kentucky. and the Ohio Valley during and after the Revolutionary War, and so becameone of the most feared and hated figures in American his&y. ,

In the play, Girty is a blind old drunkard near the end of a long and violent life. He struggles with his conscience and bloody reputation, while straddling the two worlds of fact and legend. Figures from his past voice their opinions of him, confront him, and force him to relive the most horrify- ing moments of his career.

As the title suggests, the play dramatizes not only an historical figure, but his unen- viable “fame”. The evolution of legend is as important here as is the main character himself. Perspective and con- jecture are shown as major factors in determining ulti- ma& blame for wartime atro- cities. Was Girty a war criminal, or a victim of circum- stances? .

Aspiring writers from across the University of Waterloo campus assembled last week to read. samples of their poetry and prose.

After helping myself to a chocolate doughnut and a cup of coffee, I took my seat alongside the other listeners. Steno pad balanced on my knee and pen poised, I glanced about. and noticed that the room was full. Pleased that I had chosen such an obviously popular event to cover, I turned my attention to the podium. ,

Harold Horwood, the Uni- versity’s writer in residence and probable mentor.for the writers was seated to one side. During the course of .the readings he introduced several of the writers. A respected

memeber of the English So- ciety introduced the “Forum of Student Writers”‘and some of the writers themselves. Each .of the participants has already had work published; many in New Quarterly. Several of the writers have also been attending the Creat- ive Writing Workshop that is put on by the Integrated Studies program.

The first writer to approach the lectern was Judy Butter- worth, a philosophy student with a knack for writing. Even though she was the first person to read, Judy did not portray any nervousness. She calmly provided the audience with a pleasant combination of intense poetry and a fascinat- ing&short story about a girl who had a bizarre telephone con- versation.

Next, the audience heard from George Elliott Clarke. Despite the fact that he was reading on anemptystomach, George launched energetical- ly into his selected poems and spewed forth a torrent of vivid imagery. I could hardly keep up with him! He covered a variety of topics including platonic love and incest. The manner in which he dealt with these subjects was assured, bold and extremely entertain- ing.

After George, Josee Duffues had the floor. Stating humbly that George’s act would be tough to follow, the writer, student and mother proceeded to put on her own impressive act. Her writing is deep, insightful and sensitive, and it effectively conveys a diversity of intense feelings.

Next, Harold Horwood introduced Wayne Hughes. He stated that Wayne is the most talented undergraduate that he has ever met. I must admit that I was curious to hear what kind of writing was worthy of such glowing praise, and I was not in suspense for long. After hearing poems entitled Bezerk, Yogurt Spirits and One More Time my Dear, I

concluded that the writing had to be highly imaginative. That of Wayne Hughes is also vibrant and unconventional, presenting various topics from interesting perspectives.

Frank Klassen stood behind the ‘podium next and in his singular voice confidently presented the audience with his works. His writing is powerful and vital, and at times ‘also unorthodox. Yet that is part of its distinctness. Especially the last piece that Frank read possessed this quality. He revealed that it was written at an odd hour of the morning and hence its unique- ness.

After Frank, it was Allison Knight’s turn to read. The audience had been warned that Allison wrote very short poetry, but that it wasexpand- ing. Allison did indeed read various short poems, including a Haiku (A Japanese 3-line poem). Despite their brevity, the poems contain an unmis- takable charm. They are sincere and pictorial, and the longer poems. do not lose this trait.

The last writer toshare her work was Dona Massel. A mature part-time student, Dona writes prose and poetry. Some ‘of it is perceptive, sympathetic and profound, while some is carefree, ener- getic and enlightening. No matter which type Dona read, every sample was good. Even though Dona requested no applause until the end, the audience could not resist clapping after a few especially enjoyable pieces,

I was very impressed by , these talented writers and their vital and inspiring work. That they take time beside their studies to create lasting expressions of themselves is particularly admirable. They deserve as much support as their fellow students at the University can give them. I myself am going to watch for the names of these writers in the future, and if another “Forum of Student Writers” takes place, I will be present.

Doug Bennett of Doug and the Slugs talked to me-from ‘ancouver, as the band was about to embark on a /e&thy tour jroughout Canada and the States.

It was sort of a desire to perform, I guess. . . always being at parties, always being in the corner, being the funny man .-. . and I decided to stop giving it away for free and began writing songs and started a band. Then I started charging people for it. It’s a much better business that way. I think it was just - it-was always a hobby. I picked up a guitar at the age of 18. . . as it turned out, i was getting what I thought better and betterandbetterat what 1wasdoingan.d liking-graphic arts less and less, and just one overtook the other. So I made the decision to change careers. But if you were to returnto the graphic arts business, what wou!d you bring back in the way of experience? An understanding of business. It’s surprising, when I was working for myself in graphic arts, I tended to be a little bit lazy, only working when Ineeded money. When I have eight other people to be responsible for, in terms of drawing money to pay everybody and expenses, I tend to work a little harder. You discipline yourself when there’s more people waiting for you. Are you still managing yourself, or do you have someone doing that for you now?

): Yeah, now I’ve shifted purely into the area of doing thecon- cepts . . . We’re generating enough money that we can afford to have people actuallydoing the booking. Joe Jackson does the road managing like the booking, the hotels, etc. etc. But I can sit down with a memo’and talk about concept and general direction. It frees me for more time to concentrate on album graphics and getting the public image side. Do you find that a more rewarding role?

1: It&, just because there’s less details to concern yourself with. At one point I found I was spending all the time on the phone. It took you away from the job you should be doing, and that’s writing the music. When does the latest tour start? _

1: They’re giving us three days up here at Whistler just to warm up to the Prairies’freezing nut-crushingcoldand then we’ll start the actual tour March 1st. Nine weeks of toil and whatever through Ontario.

: Where do you get a lot of your inspiration? 1: 1 get it from the songs I listen to; I get it from just talking with

people or seeing bands. You can never put your finger on where you get it exactly for whatever particular song. The

:gs: interviewed cm m l .

band all comes in whenever I put out a newsong,and they’ll add their particular musical mind to it, so there’sa lot of inspiration storedin there. And it just, becomes part of this melting-pot. Sometimes the song just falls into place so easily, sometimes you’ve got to slave over it for a couple weeks before you can pinpoint what you want.

I: Fqr example, the single that come from?

Partly From Pressure, where would

D: I was a little disapppointed in that song if only in the sense that I was a bit too derivative. Of all the songson thealbum I think we didn’t work on that one enough to give it our own particular feel, I think because we werecomingnear theend of the album. I just whipped out the song, we had so much fundoingit . . . we should have tempered it more so it would have been less of that Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen feel to it. It still would have been a good song, but it would have been more our particular feel. So when we do it live it’s got more of a Slugs feel to it.

I: Can you see yourself going in that direction? D: Not really. . . as I say, that song just came together like that. .

I like those guys, but it would do me no good to try to become the new Bruce Springsteen; it does nobody any good. I’m not headed there, I’m trying to carve my own turf, taking-note of what I’ve got as opposed to trying to make - what I’ve got into what they’ve already done. c

I: . The story isthe band was started on a dare - D: (laughs) That’s Story Number Six.

I: What has kept you going since then? D: I guess the desire to get out,of debt. The band is primarily a

working band and that means you have bills, thereare band wives breathing down their necks to “make more money, make more money . . .” So it just becomes a thing of feed yourself and try to pay the rent. Anything above that is the artistic gravy. It is important but it’s not as important as paying the bills.

I: Is there.a different attitude to your stuff down in the States than you find in Canada?

D: There’s, I would say, a more open attitude. In Canada there’s a great East-West sort of rivalry, so once you hit New York or that they think that Vancouver is just north of the state capitol. So they’re more wide open, there’s not this Canadianstigma. They either like the music or they don’t. And so far where we’ve played in the States - New York, Boston, Philadelphia, etc. - only Pittsburgh didn’t like us.

I: Would you suggest the route you’ve taken to other new- comers? If so, why?

D: Maybe what I would suggest is that the writing is the most important thing and when you’re onstage don’t try to copy other people. You only make a name for yourself by being yourself . . . concentrating on what you’ve got - meager talents though they may be.

Orchestral Manoe?uvres ii ton band LONDON

Stepping through the door opened by the German/ British techno-rockers of the mid seventies is probably the most innovative “new” group to come out of Liverpool since that other band.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Da?k, the latest craze in the electronic pop music scene, graced the somewhat remote Bingeman Park venue for the second time this year. Apparently, word was passed after last year’s smash hit that an OMD concert was not to be missed as a near capacity crowd jammed the reworked roller skating rink. A med- iocre act at best, Boys Brigade opened the show with loud, unrestrained distortion. After the Brigade’s mercifully short set the lads finally made the

New blood make?- Theatresports more fun than ever .

’

Many members of the Theatresports audience show up consistently to see their old favourite performers, but the infusion of new blood introduced an element of suspense as the viewers looked forward to seeing what the new people could do.

They could do a lot. Especially memorable was the “best MacKenzie Brothers scene” with Barna and Cook. They captured the accents and the spirit very well, and managed to make this by-now stale routine come back I to life. e

However, the aspect of last Friday’s game I wish to comment about is this. It is not necessarily true that theatre must have a message, though it is clearly desirable. If you are going to play a scene, be it comedy, tragedy or a love scene, since the scene is inevitably drawn from real life, it could also make a comment on life,

Theatresports commonly lacks this. There‘ are a number ofvalid reasons for that lack; for one thing, the .Theatresports people may not have perceived the need for this (and to be fair, I could be wrong about the importance of this aspect of theatre) and, hell, they’re there to have fun. For that matter so is the audience. No one is looking for a serious social message.

Another, ofcourse,ishpwcanoneachievea deep and meaningful comment in just a few minutes when the scene is a total improvisa: tion?

Yet how long can one watch a show that is * pure - and only - comedy? It may be funny as hell (usually is) but is this the end?

The fact of the &matter is - no. Theatre- sports introduced the “best serious scene’? competition. I hope/they keep this up. Each team’s attempt was interesting in its own way.

some progress ‘will have been made towards giving Theatresports some degree of impact deeper than being “just funny”.

To belabour the point would be gratuitous; however, if Theatresports would occasionally’ attempt scenes with potential for achieving

‘meaning and sincerity, as this one did, the actors and the audience both would be richer.

It goes to prove that these people have more to offer than just laughs.

, John W. Bast

The regular Friday night Theatresports game came off even more successfully than is usual, due to a sudden influx of new, creative actors and the introduction of a new game.

Theatresports is improvisational acting within the framework of “games”. Two teams compete for points awarded .by three judges.

“Linda and the Rookies” beat “Euripides and the Three Short Tragedies” 73-58. The Rookies - Tern Barna (named Most Valuable Player), Hugh John Cook III, Ronald M. Green and Rob-Lee, lead by veteran Theatresports player Linda Carson - were so named because for all of them but Linda this was their first game. Barna had, two weeks before this game, been a simple member of the audience.

The Theatresports veterans - Roberta Carter, I&n Chaprin, Linda Ryall and Bernie Roehl- put up’s good fight but couldn’t keep up with the Rookies.

The mood ,of the audience was dimmed somewhat when it was announced that this wasto be-the John Belushi Memorial Match, as Belushi had been found dead earlier that day.

Things picked up quickly however, and the show grew funnier and funnier. Of special note were the “Space Jump” scene (it has nothing. to do with science fiction, unfortunately) in which Ryall played an old but drug-crazed woman; “Die”, which tied between Carson and Chaprin; and the “Best Sideways Scene” in which the rear wall becomes the floor and the actors have to stand up before the audience in, order to “lie down” in t& scene. This leads to scenes in bed.

The Euripides team effort was more in the nature of “best scene with a straight face”and went far towards proving that only the audience has to be happy; but the Rookies” scene was far superior and if their example is taken to heart by the Theatresports players,

Engaging f arce presented The University of Waterloo drama Depart-

ment presents, as its major production of the Winter 1982 season, Engaged, a romantic farce in the most frantic tradition of the nineteenth century, created by the man who. became the librettist for the most famous light opera team in theatrical history.

Gilbert is, of course, best known as the librettist for the most famouse light opera team in theatrical history. Yet Engaged illustrates that, even without Sullivan, Gilbert. the dramatist possessed an incisive wit and a comic flair almost unrivalled on the nineteenth-century stage.

Swimmers do well in CIA& After swimming eight

lengths-of a 25 metre pool at top speed: UW’s Lynn Mar- shall had to settle for a third place finish in the CIAU (Canadian Interuniversity .Athletic Union) Champion- ships. She Gas less than a second behind the first place swimmer. Even though she swam her best time, the 200m freestyle was her worst individual event.

Marshall also competed in ’ the 50m and 1OOm free events,

and finished second in both.

Another member of the Witerloo At henas did remarkably well, especial,ly since this, was her first year competing at the university level. “Kate Moo,re surprised all the experts”, was how Coach Dave Heinbuch summed up the rookie’s performance. Moore improved her best time by over four seconds in the 200m backstroke, and cap.tured a six{h place finish. She then went on to finish seventh in the l.OOm back. .

Kerry DeHay also put a strong individual performan-

ce, &d came in sixth in the 1OOm butterfly:

The fourth member’of the Athena swim team that competed at the University of British Columbia was Norma Wilkie. She combined with Marshall, Moore and DeHay to form the relay teams. In the 4 X 1 OOm medley relay they placed eighth, and moved up to a seventh in the 4 X 1OOm freestyle relay.

Relatively speaking, the Warriors did not fair quite as well. The five member squad (consisting of Steve MacNeill, Peter Kornelsen, Rod Agar, Peter Christofolakos and Joe

Most track and field Warriors and Athenas finished their seasons lest weekend withparticipationat York University in the OUAA-OWIAA championships.\

As a team the_Athenas dropped from last year’s second to a fourth place finish behind Western, Toronto and Queen’s. The Warriors finished sixth, down from last year’s fifth.

Rob Town scored over half of the Warriors’ points in the meet by winning the pole vault and taking third place in the shot put. ’ The Mark Inman-K’en Potma 1500 metre travelling roadshow continued with Potma (from McMaster) just beating Mark 3:50.53 to 3:51.80. This show has one more scheduled performance, next week at the CIAU’s.

Lisa Amsden replaced Athena Patti Moore as the OUAA 1OOOm champion winning the event with a personal best time of 2.5 1 .O. Patti, who struggled all season with a painful hamstring injury, ran strongly to finish third in 2:54.9 while Betty Ann Vanderkruk-Schnurr finished fifth in 2:59.4. Earlier Lisa had finished third in the 600m.

the top twenty in Canada.” As the CIAUs finished, so

did this year’s swimming season. For teams that had a large turnover from last year,. boththe Warriorsand Athenas did remarkably well. Both Waterloo team records and Ontario records were broken.

With most of the swimmers returning n.exi year, and under the continued guidance of Coach Hei’nbuch (and assistant coach Larry Brawley), you can bet that both the mens and womens teams will do even better next year! I

Cathy Laws made a breakthrough in the 300m, reaching the final by running a personal best time df 43.51 and then ran another personal best of 42.67 to. finish sixth. Laurie Vanderhoweven and Kathy Fraser also ran the 300 but didn’t make the final.

Another personal best turned up in the 1500m. with Ulrike Zugelder running 4:47.8 to finish just one spot out of the points.

Right behind Zugelder was Lisa Campfens who had been battling the flu all week.

Lana Marjama als- ,n a new personal best in the 3000m, amazingly without breaking the 10 minute barrier, dropping her time by half a second to 10:01.23.

Also in the 3000m, the real Andrea Prazmowski finally emerged from the closet to rtin 10:05.8 and Maureen Marshall- ran 10:4 1.2 in a disappointing end to a sparking debut season as an Athena. *

The relays were a mix of elation and disappointment.

The 4 x 400m featured a dynamic’run by the whole team which place them second and just ahead of : Queen’s.

Overall, ten of the thirteen competing Athenascontributed to the team scoring. As well, several individuals just missed the first eight positions. This is a new development in Athena track and field and its continuation would augur well for the future of t-he programme.
