Corportations influence our news media Broadcast journalist and UW alumna to speak on

Ryan Chen-Wing IMPRINT STAFF

EX' alumna and CNN anchor Col- leen McEdwards is visiting campus on Monday, June 17 to speak about corporate influcncc on the media.

"It's just startingto take holdnow with thesemegamergers. AOLtncrg- ing with TimeWarner is one of the bigexamplcs. So [AOLTime Warner] is now the biggest media conglomer- ate in the world - it's huge," McEdwards said. AOLTime Warner owns CNN, McEdwards' employer.

Colleen McEdwards speaks on June 17 in DC1304.

"Youtegot the samesort ofthing in Canada. You've got Canwest Glo- bal buying up a bunch of Southam newspapers and thc NationalPost so now you have Global owning all these meda.

"It's not so much that corporate owncrship is bad, it's just that Cana- dians need to be looking at the con- ccntration of corporate ownership. If fewer and fewer companies own more and more of thc mcda, how is that going to change the type of information you get and might be entitled to?" she said.

"It's more subtle than that. It's a changc in the way youget yourinfor- mation, where it's duplicated and what the sources of it are. You as- sume it's coming from all differcnt sources but maybe what you're not aware of is that it all came from the same source. And it's way too soon to know whether this is any kind of a big-disaster but it's something we better be aware of.

"Ncws isn't supposed to be prof- itable," said McEdwards. She then related the anecdotc about CBS's 60- minjites. The producer walked into the newsroom and told the staffthat he had good news and bad news.

The good news was that the show made money, but then thc had news

was also that they made money. Af- tcr c;O-nzinzte~, says McEdwards, networks saw news programs as poten- tial profit centres and this can affect how news is reported. "Before that, networks saw thelr ncws shows as a semcc to the pubhc for t h w use of the a~rwaves."

Mchdwards 1s a graduatc of the UW Enghsh co-op program. "The

rcason I wanted to go to Waterloo was because of the co-op program. It's a huge draw."

Her first experience in journdtsm was on a co-op work tcrm at CKCO. "I had no intention of being a jour- nahst. I thought I would teach, but 1 just happened to get this [co-op] job because it was a writing job. Thirteen years later I'm working as an anchor for CNN."

Aftcr graduating in 1988, she worked for a CTV affiliate, A m , in Ncw Rrunswick. After that she worked for CBC in Wlndsor and thenToronto beforemovingto CNN in 1997.

McEdwards' talk entitlcd "Cor- porate Influences on Canadan and American News" will start at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 17 in Da\G Centre 1304.

Zero: restaurant may start serv- ing coffee to busv students Continued from page 3

Zero, such as a staff training program and a "15 minutes or it's free" lunch menu, which includcd sand- wiches, salads and soups. Di Lullo said that 'Ground Zero's hours of operation may be reduced in the fall term as a cost-saving measure. Ground Zero was open Monday to 1:riday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the fall and winter terms.

Although there are no dcfinite plans to renovate Ground Zcro, the Feds are considering a number of options, such as installing a coffee shop ~n the restaurant's bar area. "If we're going to go towards something IikcaSecond Cup oraTimHortons," Di Lullo said the coffcc shop would be about the size of theTim Hortons outlet In the Davis Centre. If the Feds decide to implement any changes to Ground Zero based on rhc rcsulrs of a student survey, Di I ,ulio hopes the new and improved cbtablishmcnt will be ready by Janu- a i r 2003.

The Feds marketing department ih \\.orlung on a student survejr to

determinewhat needs to beimproved at Ground Zero.

"Once that survey's done - and it should be done by thc cnd of this term - we'll do some focus groups and then we'll look towards implementing what students want," Di Lullo explained. Hc also added that the survey will be available on the Feds Web site, feds.ca.

Di Lullo said hc finds it ironic that Ground Zero is competing with thc Bombshclter, whichis also ownedby the Feds. -

"It's ridiculous to me thatwe have two businesses right ncxt door to each other that arc competing with

each other," he said. "They both work out of thc same kitchen. It's kind of frustrating because one day, food sales w111 be up in onc place and down 'in the other."

Whcn asked if the Feds are considering a merger between Ground Zero and the Rombshcltcr, Di Lullo rcplied, ''It's something that we're still looking into."

He added that the studcnt survey wiu determine whether Ground Zero will continue to operate as a rcsrau- rant or another type of establishment.

Our SLiCe Students should control the SLC

We put agreat deal ofmoney into the Student Life Centre.

Students paid for most of the construction of the SLC. We now paJr for more of its budget and will soon pay cvcn morc moncy for its expansion; but we do not have sufficient control or bencfit from thc house that students built.

The Campus Centre, which is the old part of the SLC, was completed in 1968 with student fees and some funds from the university.

In 1992 students voted to cxpand the SLC as part of the Studcnt Co-ordinatcd Plan. In this plan students contributed P9 d o n to build the SLC, ihe north campus recreation complex and start the Student Life Endowment Fund. ?'he university contribu~ed S1 million to ensure space for food services.

. * Iwo years later, in 1994, the Feds and U\\' negotiated the 29- page S1 .C agreement, which, among othcr things, cstablished the SLC management board and guaranteed Hrubaker's' space to Food Services for the same rent that the 17eds pap for their offices. The agrccmcnt also gives bood Scn-ices control of thc vcnding machines.

Thc agreement requires review at the initlatmn of the T:eds every five years. It was first due to be revicwcd m 1999, but was ncvcr rcvicwcd.

Student organizations and Brubaker's pay no rent, only maintcnancc and u&ty costs. Thc other university operations - the Vl'atcard office, Techworx and Pixcl Pub - paid around two-

thirds of the lowest rent paid by other busincsscs.

Since 2000 students have funded 50 per cent of the operations of the turnkey desk througk the Student Service Fee. This is effectively a subsidy of the unive. sity's rent, because these lou-cr rents require revenu; on the spac to be made up from othcr source like thc Studcnt Scniccs Fee.

Students paid and are paying t

construct this buildng. Rent should cover the operation of thi building but does not while the university's busirlcsses get cheap rent and students are forced to subsidize the difference in the Student Services Fee.

The S1,C IS govcrncd by the Student Life Centre Managemen1 Board made up of two Feds executives, two li\V adminisrraro and one student.

The foremost priority is the review of the SJ .C agreement; thc financial burden on students mu! be balanced with orhcr sourccs o revenue.

One solution would bc to rais the rcnt of studcnt organizations support the S1,C operation. This may be-unfavourable because it may hindcr thc operation of organizations that create \ d u e t;, students. It may also just rcdistril Ute the cost for studcnts through pricc and fcc increa.;cs.

Anothcr 1s to rcmcw thc reasoning for g i ~ i n g uniucrsiry businesses such cheap rcnt.

The structure and compositio of the nianagemenr hoard and hc it opcmtes need to be considered

Thcre must be morc opcnncs, and scrutiny on thc Studcnt Services Fee and orhcr student fi to ensure accounrability and encourage pursuit of resources othcr than student money.

Students built thc Student 1.if Centre and students should knov what happens in it and students should control 11.

Letter of agreement

To the editor,

I've written this short letter to ex- press my agreement with the criti- cism you put forth in your May 31 column entitled "A disappointing journey." I graduated from thc physics program two years ago with similar negative feelings. As you said, there are good aspects to the faculty. It does, however, nccd significant improvement.

Also, Ms. Jenna Holko is correct in her assertion in the last Imprintthat wc live in a superficial and over- sexed society. 1 am in total agreement with her well written and well thought-out letter. It's my hope that inmy lifetime, w o m e n d ovcrcomc this and permancntly discard the Cosmo magazine sociodynarnic.

Letter of disagreement

To the ~ditol; ,

After rcad~ng the art& cnatled "A dtsappointlng lourney" I feel com- pelled to respond to uhat 1 new as unfounded defamatory accusanons lcvcled at the phys~cs department As a graduate of the ph) stcs department myself, I feel that Ms Komec7na's attack on the quaho~ of her educauon is also an attack on the qual~ty of mine. My time as a physics undergraduate wasn't easy, but I never thought that it was supposed to bc.

A lack of female role modcls cer- tatnly &dn't affect me. Not only do I have enough confidence in myself to not needconnnulngrcassurance that "womcn can do science," but there are actually female professors and graduatc studcnts in the department. Not recognizing their contributions seems ~nsulttng to thclr accomphsh- ments.

1 am also qulte offended br the tmphcation that man! of the morc senlor profcssora ~n the department have nomterest in teaching and don't care about their studcnts. I can say first hand that tlvs is blatantlyuntrue.

Throughoutmy undergraduateca- reer 1 attempted my assignments well before they were due and if1 cncoun- tcred problems I went and visited with these professors. I was never turned away or madc to feel unwel- come. 1 was always told to pull up a chair and never sent away unal my ;luestions werc answered and I had been helped towards understanding.

It seems to me that if anyonc is lacking in this situation it is Ms. Konieczna. Clearly she made some wrong decisions in high school about the dtrection her life should take. If "all of thosc interesting courses in the calendar" weren't in her field of study, then that should have been a good indication to rethink her path.

Perhaps a general sclence degree would have been more appropriate and allowed for a greater number of non-sclence courses. Perhaps In second year when the restrictions ofher

present program became apparent it would have been a good time to make a change.

Blaming everyone but herself for her disappointments when she was quite capable of changing her situation seems shortsighted and unfair. I do agree with Ms. Konieczna that scientists should be "thtnkers," but clearly some people just aren't cut out for it.

Against Zionist propaganda

To the editor,

I am always intrigued by the propa- ption of falsities in the Israeli-Pales- tine confict. It's as if those who sprcad lies to discredit the other side think that they are doing their own side a favour. Yet, aftcr some 50 ycars of conflict, these myopic individuals seem unable to recognize that their spreading of misinfortnation only serves to deepen the confict.

Mark Eltis' column in last week's Imprint had onc and only one purpose: to portray the Palesunian side as being a bunch of irrational, crooked, violence-lovers who would prefer the Al-Aqsa lntifada over peace any time. This would have been fine, however, if hc had some solid facts to back his suspicious claim.

Tnstcad, Eltis shamelessly provides as evidence the Palestinian re- jection of a supposed Israeli offer of 95 pcrcent of the West Rank and the establishment of East-Jerusalem as the capital. This is nonsense.

The Palestinians did not rcjcct the 95 per cent offer precisely because thcrc was no such offer.

As the Israelipress itself reported in the summer of 2000, at the Camp David Summit Isracl offered to give 50 per cent of the West Bank to the Palestinians, annex 10 per cent and leaw thc rcmaining 40 per cent for further discussion.

Inaddition,Isradwanted the West Bank to be dwided into three scpa- ratc cantons so that travel within would involve passing through Is- raeli border stations. ;\Iorcovcr, Arab East-Jerusalem was to be ceded to Israel with only l'alestinian neigh- bourhoods having Palestinian sovcr- eignty. And to top things off, Pales- tinians would not have control over their water and airspace. This is what was rejected. Vulgar propagandists in the medla and elsewhere make it difficult for everyone to get the real facts of this confict. But only an acknowledgement of the truth by all sides in this conflict can provide a foundation for pcacc.

- Alyy Fonseca

Just the facts

To the editor,

I am writing in refercncc to thc Mark Eltis' community cditorial published on May 31. It's good to see an accu-

rate description of the Middle East conflict.1 checked out each date and sure enough Mr. Eltis is correct on each of them. The Arab world has done nothmg but refuse negotiations for 55 years.

It's difficult to understand, from the Western world, how such a confict could last for so long. After all, Israel is such a tiny state; it is sur- rounded by enemies and has been attackcd constantly. It's difficult to undcrstand that it is an actual war zone. TOLS, a war zoneis in a &stant. battlefield. For Tsraclis, the war zone is their front yard, their cafks and their streets.

It sccms that time and rime again, the Tsracli military has proven itself superior to every other army world- wide. I speak in particular about the Isracli military's concern for their enemy's civdians.The Israeli military has taken heavy casualtics to thcir soldiers in ordcr to protect the lives of Arab civilians.

Wc often forget that Israel is a nuclcar power. They also have oncof the world's best air forccs. And it would bc casy to clear an area with a simplc air raid. But instead, they fight door-to-door to avoid physi- cally harming innocent Palcsdnian civilians. All this while the Palestin- ian leaders I d their own civilians as suicide bombers.

I've come across a Web site with an appropriate takc on the Middle East. w&.lv.real-1srael.comanno~ces news from mainstream newspapcrs while introducing editorial and opin-

Baseless

ion in an almost unbiased manner. It's good to scc that some feel the need to speak the truth. After all, Israel is an actual warzone. It's not accidental, or even precautionary, to mandate that every Israeli citizen enlist in the military at age 18 - that's high school graduation. Talk about an education in lifi.

I just learned that the entire Israeli Red Cross equivalent is volunteer staff. Now that's saying something. On top of that, a large portion of the ambulances are armoured vehicles. When you need an ambulance to absorb rifle-munitions, that's a warzonc.

Imprint credibility

To the editor.

In the May 31 issue of Inpint, Ryan Chcn-KJing wrote about the paper and how it "doesn't cffcctively serve its readers." 1 must say that 1 agcc entirely with this statcmcnt, along with his comment on "no onc dares criticize Indpn~f' (rcfcrring to stw dent leaders).

However, 1 do believc that Ryan isn't giving students at Waterloo the credit they deserve when it comes to ac4uiringaccurate campus news. The majority of pcoplc that I know do not turn to Iqprint for important campus-related news.

There are at least two better fo- rums for acquiring such info - the

Dazb Bzllletzn, and the Gaxette. Both c these sources contam campus-relate mformanon, wlthout the "filler" th; you d find elscwhcrc. If you at

look~ng to find out who 1s the fir company to move Into north campt you do not turn to Impnnt

When students reach for a cop of Imprint, they are not reaching fc a ncws source. They are reaching fc something more closely resemblin a tabloid. ltis an easv-to-obtainsourc of entertammcnt to take their mnc off their current academic situatior - a small break from the everyda lf you wlu.

Some of the recurnng columr are d d l L entertanmg, I adm~t, b~ ovcrall thc quahty of Impnnthas hee dechmng as of late. There have bee too manv obv~ous errors madc 1

recent hstory - not lust spclhr m~stakes or the Itke, but factual e rors.

Thosc studcnts who arc searcl ing for legitimate information rcgan ing the school that they attend kno whcrc to look - and it isn't withi the pages o f l ~ p i n t . Ryan, l musts; that I usually agrcc with you Ri

accusations from Bush administration

The Bush Admnistration, In an attempt to mantam idcologcd control of the world, has launched an all-encompasstng war agalnst any ~deologcal opponcnts of the cap~tahst model. Under the gulse of the war on terronsm, the US. demands obcchence at the expense of the sovereignty of nation states.

One of the latest countries to he added to the list of terrorist nations is a small Caribbean country with an estimated populaaon of 11 d o n people: Cuha. Cuha, a country whch ~tself has been a mcum of terronst attacks launched from the Un~ted Statcs rangng from asyas\lnation attempts on the hfe of the pres~dent of Cuba as recent as 2000 In Panama, to blowng up of c~mhan fights,

hotels and burmng of crops (not to menuon fded in\ aslon attempts ~ u c h as thc Aal Of P~gq), 1s now accused of "hamng the capaclty to produce blologcal warfare" (m other nords, thcv don't h e In the stone age and thev have a lab somewhere in the countrv wtth a mnimal amount of cqupmcnt) and ~ t s soaahst government of bemg a naaonal secunh threat to thc Umtcd States

These baseless accusanons come as a shock to many Westerners who have traveled to Cuba incluchng former president of the Umted States J m y Carter who was ~n Cuha, at around the samc nme penod that thcsc accusations were made Carter, a far t ry from a rachcal rcvoluaonary, stated that dunng hls vlsit to Cuba he was allowed to travel anywhere he wanted In the country and saw no evldence to substannate the outlandlsh clauns made by the Bush admmstratton

Furthermore, at a ame whcn thc Bush adrmmstraaon was condemn mng thosc who want bcttcr U S Cuban relanons, Carter con-

demned the crlmlnal U S hloc1,ad agamst Cuba and called for better relauonq benvcen thcc two countncs Cuba, a countq that never launched any physical atta~l agalnst the people of the United Statcs, is now bcmg brandcd as a terronst nauon for bang one of the onh countnea tn the western hcmsphcrc to hwr a domcsnc tdeology that dlffers from that of the U S Cuba's crlme, ~n the ejeq of Uncle Sam, is to demand the nght of self-determmaaon of naaohs and to subscribe to an ~deology other then the neo hbera ~deology put forward by western capltahst~

For thw, Bush has put Cuha or lvs h t hst and d not rest unal tk people of Cuba pay for actually beheving that they are free to choose what pohncal model thelr country d follow

Buddha's four noble truths

Buddhist philosophy centres around the essential question of "why is thcre suffering?'Buddha's answer to this question is encapsulated in I s teaching on the "Four Noble Truths." In fact, the first sermon Buddha ever preached after his enhghten- mcnt was about these truths. Let's take a look at the four noble truths and how they can apply to our lives.

The first noble truth is that life itself is suffering. Pain, frustration and strugle are inherent withm the act of living. Even if you don't feel as though you are suffering at this moment in time, open your eyes and you will see misery all ovcr. There are refugees starving, children dying, terrorism, torture and really difficult CS exams. To livc is to move towards death. You can never escape this truth - every soul will taste of dcath. Accepting the truth of suffering is the first step down the path of Buddhist understanding. The next noble truths show how to deal with this understandmg.

And so the sccond noble truth is the realization that suffering has a cause. The

cause of suffcring is the struggle to exlst. Each of us is constantly trying to prove ourselves. We must get ccrtain jobs, wear ccrtain clothes and act certain ways. We suffer as we struggle to define our individual- ity and hence ~imultancousl~ cnlphasize our scparateness. The hardcr wc try to establish ourselves and our relationsh~ps, the more painful our experience becomes.

But the third noblc truth gives hope. Tt

states that suffcring can be ended. The solution is counter-intuitive - instcad of struggling to end suffering (notice the contradiction), we have to realize how unnecessary it is to prove ourselves. Instead of trylflg to be someone, we should just "be." ~hildren don't try to be cheerful, mothers don't try to be loving and mathes don't try to be geeks -they just are and that is the key. This truth takes courage. We've got to abandon our expectations of how we think things should be and just let them "be."

The final noble truth is "thc way." It is the path to end suffering. The key is medita- don, or what is also called the practice of "mindfulness/awareness." This is not just somcthing we do in private, but rather all the time. We should be mindful as we study and as we play. Mindful of thc ways we hurt ourselves and others. Mindful of the simplic- ity of life when we abandon expectations. Mindful of the fact that thc Truth has a plan and we are a small part of it.

What comes after that? Peace.

Summer whirlwind

Who ever said summer was slow? Seems to me hke therc's plenty going on, and in that spirit I present another rapid firc list of things worth commenting on:

i' It finally happcned: Finance Minister Paul hlartin was (surprise!) unceremoniously pitched overboard by thc increasingly despotic Prime Minister.

i' You can expect a stacking of the Liberal leadcrship review next February, in order to ensure that Chretien can stay on as king unul either hc or Martin dies. In the meantime, prcpare for the Prime Minister to continue denying the existence of any cthics crisis whatsoever, all thc while implementing guidelines to fix the problems which, accordmg to him, don't exist.

i' At least one lcadcr knows when it's time to quit: NDP Leader Alexa McDonough announced her ~esignation of thc party leadership last week. Hopefully, Joe Clark is taking notes.

Y Another year, another summit: appar- ently the Anti-Everythingists had so much fun breaking things in Ottawa last spring, they'vc decided to do it all over again in the nation's capital, in spitc of the fact the actual G8 summit is in Kananaskis, Alberta. Granted, it's a smart move given thc fact that the military is scaling off the summit. Tear

gas and pcpper spray is one thing, hut you probably don't want to fuck with (3 -1 8s and tanks. Thcn again, this is the Chadian militaq- wc'rc talking about, and rumours of its existencc are dubious at best.

i' Speaking of thc upcoming protests, a fcw quick predictions: lots of indy media coverage detahng snakc march routes in mind-numbing detail; liberal usage of the words "solidarity", "oppressive" and "corporate"; 68 claims of police violence against unarmcd protestors extending flowers as a pcacc gcsture.

i' Since some of us are into frec plugs, here's one: why not check out the ever- informative [email protected], your one stop onlinc shop for all news pertaining to UVI' studcnts. You might also cnjoy the rather heated dcbatcs about such things as derep- lation, corporate support of the university, and vast right-wing conspiracies cnplfing Waterloo. Fun stuff, I kid you not.

i' I'm no soccer expert, but can someone please explain to me why so many players involved in this year's World Cup feel the need to engagc in spontaneous &splays of Oscar-calibre acting? I'm talking, of course, about every player who goes sprawling whenever they gct tackled. Their faces would suggest they've been shot, stabbed and castrated. Yet, five seconds later, thcy'rc good to go for a free kick. When Scott Stevens ends your career with a blind check, go ahead and complain, but stop faking dcad when a guy with onc name makes you kiss the grass.

i' Lastly, this is by special requcst - can someone please do something about the daytime music at the Bombed

What it's all about

As the new writer for Imprints queer column, I found my first task to be the most dfficult. For weeks, I was complctcly indecisive about what I would call the new column. 1 knew that I wanted it to be short and simple, catchy but not ovcrly pragmatic; something to which pcople could easily refer. For me, a . -

column name is something like a tattoo. Once it's there, you had bcttcr fully appreci ate it, othcnvise it could undermine everything that you are about. So, in the end I decided to listen to my life.

On the day in which I set out to name this column I just happened to be wearing a t-shirt that read "Undefeated." It was my good friend Shelley who pointed it out. It was perfect really; a perfect name for t h s column. It says m one short word how I rcally truly feel and how I think that all members of the queer community should feel. In fact, it is how I thmk every person should feel.

Since this is my first article, 1 believe it is important for you to get an idca of who I am. My name is Aaron Timothy Cowan. I am a history major, currently in my fourth year at the Uni~ersity of Waterloo. Additionally, I am openly gay. While my sexuality does nothing to define me, my experience of learning of it, dealing with it and accepiing it has made mc thc person that 1 am today. 'I'oday, I am undcfeated.

Storytelling

Sit back, close your eyes, and listen to this story I've got for you. Well, 1 guess you havc to keep your eyes open, but still - prcparc yoursclf for a fable.

Stories are pretty important things. Some of them get dismissed as child's play, some of them as religious fear-mongering, some of them as propaganda, some of them as myths or legends. But the big tlung about stories is that they givc you a framework for loolung at things: the world, your lifc, your next-door neighbour, whoever or whatever.

Thcrc's a lot of stories out there, to teach you morals, to entertain you, to placate you, to make you obcdtent, to do a lot of things. Some of them come from way back in the carly days of modernity, some of them are as modern as you can get. They all gct told to varying degrecs and heard to different dcgrces.

The most important stories, though, are the storics you tell yourself. Of course, thcy're made up of different elements of the different stories you've been exposed to, but

Being gay means a lot to me and as a result I am very much confident in who 1 am. For me, k i n g gay mcans bcing unique and 1 love that. I also think that while it may be casy to scoff at what society has den~cd the queer community, wc should also be thankful for what it has given us. For this reason, 1 a m so completely thrilled that I haw bccn givcn the chance to write this column.

You wiU probably observe throughout the next weeks that I have a lot to sap. It is my hope that my words and my insight will reach some of you and make you think. I also must point out that whilc I do not consider myself a reprcscntativc of the entire queer community, I do recogmze the power of words and the responsibility that goes along with them. Therefore, my soapbox is not a tall one and it never wdl be. Perhaps that concerns some of you; perhaps that provides others of you with a scnse of relief. Rut, in general I must stress that while this is and always will be a column devoted to the issues associated with living as a gay person, I am also interested in writing about the struggles associated with just being human.

It is my hope then that with each articlc, I will he able to relate the struggles of the queer community to those of everyone clsc. In one issue I may writc about stereoqTes, or I may write about what it means to be yourself to the fullest extent. But no mattcr what topic I should choose to divc into, I would like to invite all of my readers to step back and think about how that relatcs to you specifically. We are all more s d a r than I think we really know.

Once again, 1 am very excited about this opportunity. Until the next issue then, I invite all of you to remain undcfcatcd.

they are what pou're decided to put together to tcll yoursclf whcrc you fit in with the rest of the world, what role pou're playing and what kind of outlook to have on things.

For most people, thcir sclf-story - how they see themselves -is pretty much ingrained and accepted into their conscious- ness, without them being consciouslp aware of it. They don't realize that their story is just that - a story - and not necessarily the actual factual truth.

Thcy could just as easily be telling themselves a different self-story, with dtfferent results in how they view the world and how they live thcir livcs. What's relevant to notc is that no matter which story it is that they're telling themselves, out of all the possiblc stories thcy could be tekng, their belief in it is what makcs it real, their belief in it, and their of fulfilling the story by playing their part as they see it.

At least, that's how I see it. I could be wrong though. Maybe most people do realize that all their self-talk is vcry arbitrary and they could easily choosc to tcll themselves something different, something that would allow them to live thcir livcs in a different way.

Of course, that would mean my own story - that it is my role to explain to you how all this story-tckng works, since you don't already know - would be wrong, and simply a product of my own imagmation.

Each summit's discussions reflect the contemporary issues of the time in addition to three major economic policy issues: global trade, economic recovery and economic assistance to developing nations. At the outset, non-economic issues were addressed

The person at the front of the class comes in four varieties Samina Essajee SPECIAL TO IMPRINT

Watcrloo has carned a reputation as one of(:anada's leading universities. A key factor that contributes to the quality of education is the faculty, which consists of approximatcly 780 traching instructors who work to cnsure that Waterloo lives up to its reputation.

Waterloo professors arc dividcd into four catcgorics: lecturer, assist- antprofessor,associateprofessorand professor. An assistant profcssor has a doctoratc or some other high-level degree and usually has some teaching experience. An associate profes- soris an assistantprofessorwith more tcaching experience and a professor is committed to teaching and research. Professors spend much of thcir time researching and writing papers. A study by the Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies reveals that, out of 439 UW professors publishing in the natural, engneer- ing and biomcdical sciences, the av- erage professor produces 1.59 publi- cations every year.

Recently, theTeachingResources and Continuing Education Office (TRACE) announced the 2002 winners of Distinguished Tcachcr Awards: Brent Hall, Richard Nut- brown and Thomas Yoder Neufeld.

Hall is a profcssorin thc school of planningwho also holds positions in environmental studies and geography. TRACh praised him for introducing matcrial that is rclcvant to industry and encouraging class par- ticipation through presentations and discussions. Nutbrown is an assistant professor who teaches first-year political science courses. TRACE cited his ability to relate to studcnts, his approachability and dedication to his work. Yoder Neufeld is an asso- ciatc profcssor of religious studics at Conrad Grebe1 known for his cha- risma and energetic teaching style accordmg to thc TRACE Web site.

Waterloo confers one of three titles on retiringprofessors. In 1994 the senate made the decision to con- fcr thc titlc "profcssor cmcritus" on faculty retiring from the university with a minimum of 15 years of sen- ice. This honour is conferred at

convocation. This year seven professors wdl be receiving the title of professor emeritus at convocation ceremonies. Professors who retired and who have distinguished themselves in their career receive the title of "lstinguished professor emeritus" as approved by their department chairs and the senate honourary degrees committee. Retiring professors who do not fit either of those categories are given the title of "ad- junct professor (retired)."

Last year TRACE compared the course evaluation results for 16 of the Distinguished Teacher Award winners to thcir ratings on a popular Web sitc: ratcmyprofcssors.com. Of

the ratings, 15 were consistent with the evaluations. Students can rate professors on a scale of one to tive for "clarity", "helpfulness" and "easi- ness." Accordmg toTRACE, Water- loo had 1,850 ratings - the highest number of ratings for a Canadian university. Thercwcrc approximately cight timcs the number of ratings for Waterloo than for the University of Toronto and Waterloo professors come out on top. Web site percep- tions of professors are superficial and often based on stereotypes. Tf studcnts would like to know more about these elusive people, the faculty association wouldgivc thcm this advicc: go and talk to some of them.

On a bright summer day, the light trickles through to the sandy bottom of a shallow northern lake, whilc a female figure kicks up a flurry of activity, agtating the tranquil setting. Armedwith a cbsposable watcrproof camera, she captures the dancing of thc settling debris.

Artist Sandra Martin's love of water has helped hcr win the city of Kitchcner's Artist-in-Residence (AIR) position for2002-2003, judged by the public working group jury.

Toronto born Martin has jour- neyed a long way to finally bc doing what she cnjoys most. The recent graduate from the Master of fine arts program at thc University of Water- loo left hcr well-paid job to pursue a career as an artist.

"It wasn't satisfying anymore and I thought that life is too short and so

I'mgolng to do what 1 want," Martin said. "I was making fairly good in- come so it was pretty hard to gve it all up because you know that going Into fine arts mean? you aren't going to be nch."

Insp~red by Leonardo Da Vlncl's Lelcester Codex, an archwe of draw- lngs and notes in wh~ch he stucbed the movement, nature and flow of water, her project will involve creating a codcx based on the Grand fiver.

She will be travelling pomons of the 300 km stretch of the river from its source near Dundalk, Ontario to where ~t empncs Into Lake Ene at Port Madand.

Throughout her loumcy she d be compding an archive of artwork by taking pictures of underwater and above water landscapcs as source matcrial for her paintings.

"I started out painungpuddles in

my fourth year at the Ontano Col- lege of Art and Dcstgn," Marun explained. "Water, as you know, has a lot of symbohc meanings, b e fertil ~ t y and bapusm.

I found one of those undcnvatcr cameras one day and I wa? just smmmng mth ~t and I reahzed that ~t cvokes a lot of my chrldhood memones "

The former res~dent of Toronto cites her close proxlrmty to Jake Ontano as thc source of her new cndcavour.

"1 used to live close to thc lake and when I moved to Guelph I felt homesick from the lake," Martin re- called. "That's when 1 started to dis- cover the Grand River. I'm hoping to do a series oflittle paintings of hfferent areas and document them so that you can see the source ofthe nver all the way down."

The 300 km course of the river provides a varicty of scenes.

In her paintings, she usually exaggerates the colours in the photos.

Epsilon Minus The Bombshelter June 14

Mark Stratford SFEC~L TO IMPRINT

Bogart Shwadchuck, onehalf of the local musical duo Epsilon Minus, has an understanding of electronic music that puts me to shame. So when he describes the band's sclf-titled debut as "post-industrial dance," I am Inclined to agree.

"I try to stay away from sampling in general," he explains. "I try to go for more of a clean, synthesi~ed sound. RJe're from the school of pure electronic Kraftwerk-style music. kind of a modcm hard version of that sound."

1;or the band - producer/in- s t r u m e n t a l i s t / p r o g r a m m e r Shwadchuck and singer/lyricist Jennifer Parkin - thc sound has becn a long time evolving.

.\lthough Epsilon Minus was onginally centred around live instru- mentation, Shwadchuck soon discovered the mighty drum rnachinc.

"1 got playing with a lot more effects," hc explains, "and it just pro- grcssed to where I wasn't redly inter- estrd 1n playingin a band anymore. I wanrcd to have control: a studio en- vironment to do things in as opposed to a spontaneous, nppin'-out-guitar- licks Idnda thing."

A Erer some experimenting, Shwadchuck began shopping his

work around to different labels, all of whom liked the music but felt it needed vocals. Enter Parkin, whom Shwadchuckmet at the nov-defunct I<-Windusuialclub Sharky's and with whom hc shares an interest In the industrial gcnre.

"She actually listens to morc of the music in the genrc than I do," says Shwadchuck of his bandmate. "She seems to lean towards the pop

endof things as opposed to thenoisier hard end, which is kind of the domi- nant part of the genre."

This ability to see both sides of industrial music is what gives Epsi- lon Minus its unique flavour.

"lt's not mainstream pop and it's nor hardcore old-school industrial," Shwadchuck clarifies. "lt's sort of the modern baby of the two. I\ lot of hands in the genre have progressed

that way." In fact, thc band's sound is dis-

tinct cnough to have been given its own name: future-pop. This is the term under whch 17psilon Minus' music is being promoted, and Shwadchuckis the first to admit that the term is both silly and a littlc offensive.

"We're not singing about robots and spaceships 'and such," he jokes.

"water" works such as this.

"We don't necessarily like the con- notations of it but we like the idea of people not saying 'Oh, industrial, I hate that."'

Indeed, the mainstream bias against industrial inusic is something Shwadchuck feels strongly about.

"It would be nicc to scc somc of the bands that are doing creative thingsunderground get thc attention that they should," he says. "It's possiblc, but it'll take a push and it'll take money and it'll take interest and there's not necessardy enough of that to go around."

Luckily, the band's album, whtch was released last month on Alfa Matrix Rccords, may be diverse cnough to pull it off. It contains everything from hard industrial beats to the acoustic "Nothing Is lndc- structible," from ambience to what Shwadchuck calls a "goofy joke bo- nus track." This week a CD singlc will bc released for the album track "Through," featuring remixes of the song courtcsy of othcr Alfa Matrix artists.

Sdl, Shwadchuck believes his best work is yet to come and he fecls thc band has already grown since record- ing the debut.

"Jen's become abetter singer. I'vc bccomc a bcttcr producer. We've both become better songwriters," hc says, ad&ng that now they're capablc of a lot morc.

Janine Stoll Everything You Gave M e SOCAN

Emything You Caw Me is the first acoustic effort of independent singcr/songwriter Janine Stoll. Stoll is a supple balladeer whose raw vocal umderings set against harmonicgui- tar-stmmmmgs make great theme music for your introspective mood.

This is a disc you want to listen to on an overcast day as you srarc blankly out your bedroom wndow, chamo- mile in hand, ears perked and attcn- tivc as you absorb thc music. And no, you don't have to be staring out a

wndowto apprcclate the album. Rut bclicrc me, Stoll's harmonic subtle- ties and vocal variations demand a reflec~ive, pensive mood; a mood oftcn induced by a still and transpar- cnt frame.

hach song on thc CD seems to be its own windowinto the ncthcnvorld of Janinc Stoll. Sprinkled with Torontonian references, E t q ~ t h i ~ g . . is a seemingly autobiographical projcct, at times sorrowful ("(:razy Ridc"), at times brooding ("Young Girl"), but always beautiful. Stoll is an artistic songwriter and an elo- quent lyricist whose talents as a live performer have transferred faithfully to this, her first full-length record.

As a musician, Stoll has a strong hold on her craft, with a range com- parable to Alanis, a rawness not un- like 4ni and a uniqueness setting her apart from both. She is a rising talent worth looking out for and this album paints an accuratc portrait of hcr sound, her style, and her self.

Choke There's a Story to this Moral Smallman Records

I can't figurc out if I likc this CD or not, so here's the deal: I'll tell you what I know and you can figure out for yourselfwhcthcr or not you want to buy it. I can say this: Choke's last album (1999's Foreward, is one of the best punk albums ever and There's a

Story to this Moral is nothing like it; however, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The thingis,where Choke used to be punk, now they're emo. Where they used to be fast and hard-hltting, now they're slower, better developed and more haunting.

The frantic but always prccisc rhythms and spine-melting breakdowns are still mostly present, but instcad of bcing condensed into a two minute punk song, they are spread out over a four minute emo song. Much of the time, something gets lost in the translation and instead of being innovative, the songs are long and rcpctitivc.

Choke's attempt to create memo- rable emo hooks doesn't always work out and some, likc in "Forget to Learn," are just really annoying. There arc some good moments in this album: " Signin g Off ' is agreat melding of Choke's old, fast sound andincor- porates the great breakdowns and bridges of old songs likc "Recoil" with their new, more developed cmo sound.

In the end, if I had the choice hetwcen this album and being eatcn by a bear, I'd take the album. It's a decent trip into the world of emo by a really talentcd Canadian band. Hut if I only had $25 to spend at a record storc, I'd go with thcir earlier &sc, Foreward.

Andrew W.K. I Get Wet Island Records

"Party tiJl you Puke," "Gct Rcady to Die": you have to be really clever to come up with titlcs likc that and cven more clever to writc thc utterly joy- ous fist-pumping anthems that go with thcm, powered by bigkeyboards andabsolutely monstrousguitars and filled with perfect shout-along lyrics likc, "K'c do what we like, / and we likc what we do!"

If the first single, "Party EIard," docsn't makc you thrash like a drunkcn frosh on a sugar high, then you have no soul.

Despite the overwhelming dual thcmcs of knuckle-headed party eu- phoria and cartoonish violence, this is ultimatelylife-affirrmngmusic, with Andrcw V(/.I<.'s totally irony and angst-free message: "Don't cvcr stop the noise" and "Do all the stuff that you luve."

It carries weight coming from a guy who personally mashed a brick in his face to get the look he wanted for the album cover.

36 Crazyfists Bitterness The Star Roadrunner Records

Alaska has always been known forits intcnsc music scene. First there was Jewel. Then, for a long time, there was nobody. Now there's 36 Crazyhts with their debut album, Bittemrrs The Jtar.

That's right, this metal band hails from Anchorage and they are pisscd off. People forgct about Alaskawhen they think of the United States and this generally means that no one tours thcrc. Wcll, 36 Crazyfists want to change that.

The current wave of metal has bccn widely criticized as lacking in originality and differentiation. hlusi- cally, 36 Crazyfists are another hand in a long list that fall into t h s cat- egory. Fortunately, thcy'rc saved by the quiveringvocals ofBrockLindow.

The Mad Capsule Markets OSC-DIS (Oscillator in Distortion) S~eedstar Records

I was f ~ s t attracted to this CD by the label on thc shrink-wrap that de- clared the contents to be somcthing like "Japanese-dis-hardcore-punk music." I chdn't cven know Japan had hardcore bands.

Normally when one thinks of hardcore, one thinks ofNorth Ameri- can bands like Snapcase or Fxropean ones like Refused. But my mind was expanded when I listcned to the CD and realized that good hardcorc is a global phenomenon. And this

vaned, some of thcm bcing pure aggressive hardcore like "Tribe" and others exhibiting a more poppy, So- Cal sound likc "All the'l'ime in Sunny Beach."

The Markets use both of these st+ very wcll, a d h g to their own digitized sound with distorted vocals and inhuman drum beats. The melo- dies are driving, but surprisingly catchy. The lyrics don't make much sense, even when they are translated into English, but that's okay because OSC-DIS is agreat album to listen to anyway.

If you arc looking for a really good hardcore CD, do what you can to get hold of some Mad Capsule mayhem.
