A ~ e l t h y Change

In a recent conversation, a friendobserved that the LCDs on mywatch had deteriorated to an unreadable blur. I quickly turned mywrist and though it was still blurred,he was able to read the time. Weensued into a conversationabout the progress that had beenmade since the days when Timexmade sundials. Now we could telltime at night. However, we did loseone very important aspect. Sundials were synchronized with the dailyroutine of the sun which , unlike me,can be assured to be on time. Evenour most accurate time-keepers arelimited by the fact they are calibrated by different people and therefore show different times .

Change is a part of progress .We evaluate our present stance toidentify our strengths and weaknesses. The weaknesses are usuallydiscarded and replaced. At times,this is done with haste followingthe philosophy, (why keep somethingthat is wasteful . Even our weak

Change is a healthy, essentialand natural process. A willingnessto change has led us from crudebearskins and stone knives to chicleather jackets and optical computers. As humans , we have the ability to realize when we are unnecessarily dedicating valuable resourcesto inefficient and fruitless pursuits.We are then able to focus our attention on new, dynamic and innovativepursuits.All Canadians, however, have notbeen using this inherent humanstrength when dealing with the econ-

> lYlV We have become polarized onof technological change.One side favours industrial adjust-ment and the other opposes it inthe name of full employment. Theopposition s point however is selfdestructive. Full employment overthe long term cannot be achievedwithout industrial adjustment.

Socialist Sweden has had success in industrial adjustment. LikeCanada, Sweden has extensive social programs and depends on for- ,eign trade. They must be able tocompete on the international mar-

undialsIparts have a history and purposefrom which we can learn.

keto I f a company or an industrialsector can no longer compete effectively, it is revamped or dismantled . If dismantled, its resources canbe directed into another field . Thefirms are not protected behind an artificial wall of tariffs and quotas.

Government, industry and tradeunions all play an active role in theretraining and counselling of workers w hose firms can no longer compete effectively. Thus, resources canbe put towards sunrise industries instead of being wasted on sunset industries.

In Ca nada, it must be realizedthat short term protection of jobsis not worth the long term damageto the country. Canada depends onforeign trade and hence must staycompetitive. Government, industry, and the unions must work together to remove the weeds from theCanadian economy and then waterthe new seeds. Until then IKEA,ElecLrolux, Volvo, and Saab willcontinue to be household words inCanada and the Swedes will continue to think of Canada as hockey,fish and indecision.

All of the good and bad have a ,beginning and a history ofment. When we go through thecess of change, we should look athistory to develop new items thatwill enhance on the old ones they arereplacing. Taking a look at basicswill help root out inefficiencies thatnaturally occur as a system growsbeyond its basic necessity.

This is not a ca ll to give up theproducLs of modern technology andreturn to the trees. A regression tostone knives and bearskins will onlyreverse the line of progress . Rather,we should look at the original purpose or intent to judge whether ourpresent solution meets the basic requirements efficiently.In the case of the sundial, new advances in time-keeping should consider synchronization with the position of the sun. Until then, I havemy own time setting as an excuse forbeing late.

Bythe way, any students interested inthe design competition should beginto plan now for the 1988 OEDC.There is still no word from theMinister regarding the tuition increase or the .future of the enhancement fee. My best guess is that tu ition will increase by cpr and thatthe enhancement fee will not be allowed.

We had developed the faculty 'scomputing plans assuming that thefee ($50/ term) would remain in place.The first stage was to buy the equipment (which we did - $442 000worth). The second stage was toshare-up the operating and maintenance budgets and develop replacement strategies. The loss of the feemeans that it will be difficult to operate the syst em. Using hindsight,

POINT > COUNTERPOINT

lacard Wavingby Thomas White3B Systems DesignThe 'squeaky wheel gets thegrease. An old saying, true enough,but it applies just as much todayas it did when it was first uttered .

And although we all chuckled whenwe saw the placard-waving AntiIrradiation Wing of UW's Veget.arian Club at the Mulroney speech,protesters are living proof.

Protesting can take many forms .Paid advertisements, let ter-writingcampaigns , rallies and marches arebut a few of the more obvious methods . Protesting can also be on behalf of a multitude of diverse causes.Now, although free speech is a necessary part of a democratic society, Iwill not argue that all protesters areright in their allegations. I would bethe first to agree that a large num ber of protesters today are simplymalcontents who are bent on forcing their opinions on the rest of society . But whatever the method, andwhatever the cause, and whetheryou like it or not, protesting works.Its popularity is a certain testamentto its effectiveness.

if you say something loudenough and long enoughpeople will begin to believeyouIt works because it lets you makeyour concerns known to the world.No problem, legitimate or otherwise,can be corrected if it goes unseen .Media coverage makes protesting amedium by which the man in the

street can make the public aware of 8.perceived problem, and hence instigate the necessary correction. Without protests and lawsuits, we mightnever have known about the birthdefects caused by the drug Thalidomide, and it might still have been onthe market.its popular ity is a certaintestament to its effectivenessI t works because of the adversepublicity it can bring to your opponents. There's nothing that the

media loves more than a good fight.The numerous campaigns of theMora.l Majority have been givenan enormous amount of publicity inthe past few years. And those whorely on public opinion for their survival, politicians and entrepreneursfor example, have an overwhelming aversion to the adverse publicity that such protests create. Forcedto make a decision, they will almostalways choose the path of least resistance - giving in to the protester.And in the case of the Moral Majority, many are.

It works because it can attractothers to your cause. It is said thatfor every active protester, there are24 others who sympathize but don'tget involved. One reason that these

\-11THV I T Y r

24 who do nothing is their fear ofbeing singled out . There is comfortin being part of a crowd, and it canmotivate even the most timid individual to get involved. Protesting isa means by which these people canbe shown that they are not alone,and thus be recruited for the cause.Finally, it works because it cansway public opinion. The human

mind is an incredibly fickle mechanism W ose perception of realityis easily influenced. Cults haveknown and used this fact for years.Protesters can use it as well. Nomatter what your message is, if yousay it loud enough and long enoughpeople will begin to believe you.To close, I could cite any of thenumerous examples of protests thatare in the news da.i1y but you Rre nodoubt capable of doing that yourself.Instead, I will relate a recent personal experience with the powers ofa well-known UW protest group.it can attract others to yourcauseIn planning for

the MathSocjEngSoc Spirit Pubswhich were held this term, I askedthe manager of the Bombshelter ifshe would add a 'special' shooter -the Athletic Supporter - to thebar menu. She refused. Why? Because she felt that the name wouldget her in trouble with the Women'sCentre.

Whatever the method, and whatever the cause, and whether you likeit or not, protesting works.

by Tom Lee3B Systems Design

At the recent Mulroney speech,a group representing ACT (AgainstCruise Testing) displayed variousplacards, and banners promotingtheir cause. Their prime objective,I believe, was to give their organization the maximum publicity. Whatdid they actually accomplish? Mostpeople, by now, have heard of theNuke the Whales incident . Thisattack on this endangered speciesmanifests the fundamental problemwith this sort of anti-social protest .

violent change is the messagethat is conveyed to me when Isee protests by fringe groupsFor the most part, I agree withACT . That is, I believe that there

must be alternatives to revitalizingthe economy other than the blatantseduction of the military (regardlessof the nation) . What distressed mewas the methods displayed by thegroup to achieve these goals.

To me, violence is violence, andthe screaming of anti-governmentslogans, and the slandering of political officials, for the sole purpose of antagonizing the opponentsis essentially violence. What manyof these so-called 'fringe' politicalgroups don't realize is that thereare many people in the government,the corporate sector, and the professions, that share many of theirviews. In many cases, I count myselfas one of them. These people, however, choose to approach the problem differently.

WOWI

The world is a political place.This fact is undeniable , and irreversible. Although politicians areperhaps the most maligned specieson this planet, they have done onething right: they have placed themselves in a position to effect thegreatest amount of change with theleast amount of 'pain ' for the people .This is especially true in the Western world (current political changesin the USSR and China seem to indicate that this is also true in othernations). Change by violence, tome , is meaningless and hypocritical.This has been historically provenin the USSR, Nicaragua, Germany,and many other nations .

at the ulroney speech, theprotest shouts did nothing butcause people to be annoyedViolent change is the messagethat is conveyed to me when I seepro tests by these 'fringe' groups andin many cases I take offence. I findthis disturbing, because I tend to besympathetic to many of the fundamental beliefs of these groups , andbelieve that I am not alone. At theMulroney speech, the protest shoutsdid nothing but encourage peopleto be annoyed by the protestors, orworse laugh at the protestors. I sawmany people in the audience who,I knew, were against cruise testing, but the misplay on ACT 's partcaused these people to laugh at theshouts of Nuke the Whales .

change by violence ismeanhlgless and hypocriticalThere is more than one way tochange the status quo. Violent

protests do nothing but stir up emotions (and in many cases, in thewrong way). It also a l i e n a t ~ s thosewho sympathize, but do not havethe urge to carry signs. Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. s dream is slowlybeing realized, partially because ofhis stirring campaign against thestatus quo, but also because ofpoliticians who had the strength topass legislations to make the necessary changes. The 'radicals' (for thelack of a better term) would do wellto listen to these people who play bythe rules.

QEMFby Peter Stubley4B Electrical

Most of you probably do not remember QEMF - the Quality of Education Maintenance Fund. It diedin the fall term of 1982, before mostof you got here. I was lookingthrough some old Iron Warriors andcame across the articles describingthe rise and fall of QEMF.QEMF was one response to aperceived decline in the quality ofour education because of a lack ofmoney. The proposal was that eachstudent returning from a work termwould pay an additional 50 fee.This fee would be used to enhanceundergraduate teaching in the engineering faculty, including purchasing equipment and and trying to improve the TA to student ratio. Themotion was originally proposed inMarch, 1982, at the A Soc councilmeeting, and was voted on in referendums by both streams, B Spcin the summer, and A Soc in thefall. In order for the motion to pass,at least 50% of the students in eachstream had to turn out, and the motion had to have at least a two thirdsplus one majority to pass.

the most important aspect ofQ MF was that it was studentsdirectly supporting theireducationQEMF was not another computerfee forced on students by the university. It was students recognizing that there was a problem, andthat they were going to do something about it, even if nobody elsewould.The B Soc vote in the summer of1982 had a 78% turnout, with 81 %in favour of QEMF. The A Soc votein the fall had only a 63% turnout,and only 55% in favour.The problem was, and still is,real. The faculty of engineering hasno equipment budget. This meansthat the university does not provideany money for new teaching equip

ment, the equipment that our education depends upon. Dean Lennox isgiven a budget of about 15 million,of which all but 600 000 goes topay salaries. The 600 000 that remains is divided up equally for eachof the departments, to pay for thingslike telephon es and supplies. It actually costs each department between150000 to 175 000 to run the telephones and buy supplies. A littlearithmetic will show that there is ashortfall of more than- 50 000 foreach department. That money h88to come from somewhere.t comes from charging for research contracts. The engineeringfaculty does a brisk consulting business, and the customer is charged forthings like lab space and techniciantime. Each department keeps theearnings from its research contractsand uses that money to make up theshortfall in its operating budget, andto buy new equipment. There hasnot been any budget for equipmentfor several years. It kept being whittled back as finances became tighter,until there was nothing left.

ron lVarrior 5- Student Initiated Feemodernres6urces. For example, aCAD station which could be used bysenior students from all departmentswould allow us to have at least usedrecent hardware for designing circuits, or drafting. Mechanical engineering could also use another numerically controlled machine. Fiftyper cent of the equipment in the mechanical engineering department ismore than ten years old. The chemical and civil departments have thesame problems.

Q MF was a response to aperceived decline z the qualityofour educationmodern equipment is needed or education

Although it is not necessary forstudents to have aU the latest toys,and in some cases they are not always desirable, we still need to haveaccess to the modern tools of thetrade. For example, the civil department is still using the same transits that they used in 1959. Grantedthat it is good for students to knowhow to use simple transits, but modern rangefinclers are a little more sophisticated, and they are what mostpeople are using in the real world.Unfortunately, there is no easyway to replace obsolete equipment,because there is no place in thebudget for new equipment. Newequipment is purchased, but thereis no way to really plan becausethere is no guaranteed source ofmoney. New equipment has to bepurchased with whatever money canbe scraped up. The usual sourceis chargebacks from research contracts. For example, WATSTARwas put together and is operatedwith funds from chargebacks. Theelectrical department has been ableto put more money towards newequipment because Professor T.R.Viswanathan is away this year, andthey have been able to use whatwould have been his salary.

Q MF was not anothercomputer fee forced onstudents by the universityAccording to the articles, QEMFdied because the students got tiedup in the wording of the motion,rather than in the intent. DenisVan Decker wrote the article againstQEMF, and his major argumentwas that 50 was insignificant beside the 3000 that came from student tuitions and government pay-. ments (1982 figures). Like manyother things, Denis was wrong, because the engineering faculty does90t get any tuition money for equipment. The 50 QEMF would be putdirectly to undergraduate teachingequipment. ' 50 does not sound likemuch, but it works out to be 250000 a year, which is hardly insignificant.The most important aspect ofQEMF was that it was students directly supporting their education. Itwas money that would have been

provided by students, and since itwas provided by students, we would

have had some control over whathappened to it. The faculty wouldhave been completely accountable tostudents.we still need to have access tomodern tools of he tradeWe have lost opportunities be

cause QEMF died. The 400000 from the computer fee helped,but did not apply to non-computerequipment. Dean Lennox said thatthe design component of our education is missing, becau_e of a lack of

Even though QEMF fell through,it was at le88t a different approachto a chronic problem. The usual solution is to beg the government formore money, but the government isnot always going to cpme through.Dean Lennox believes that if we hadQEMF, we would not have had acomputer fee, at least not in engineering. It is perhaps worthy of notethat the University of Toronto hashad a 100 fee instituted by the students for four years now, and it hasjust been renewed. This means theyhave had well over 1 million dollars for their education that we havemissed out on.

Dome Changes Toronto Skylineby Doug Parker3B Civil

At the e ~ i n n i n g of October, construction got underway on Toronto sDome Stadium, a monumentalstructure that is destined to play amajor role in the future of Toronto sdowntown. The project is scheduledto be completed for April of 1989, intime for the Blue Jays home opener.

f you went down to see the construction site (east of Spadina andnorth of the Gardiner Expressway)in the latter part of the fall workterm, you may have been disappointed that there was little to see.It must be kept in mind that thefirst stage in the construction process is the excavation. This is ,however, a major undertaking as theplaying field will be 5 feet belowstreet level. Over 200,000 cubic metres of soil must be removed from thesite, not to mention the 25,000 cubicmetres of shale bedrock before that .This excavation will not be completeuntil December of 1987, but otherphases of the construction will begin long before that. The first footing was placed at the beginning ofDecember, 1986, and construction ofthe skeletal structure began in midDecember.

This skeleton consists of bentspokes rising from the circumferenceof the ring to bend in radially towards the centre. Each bent willbe the height of a 15-storey building. The project s unfolding maybe understood by analogy to a clockwith 12 o'clock at the north. Thefirst portion of the structure to becompieLE'd will cover 2 o'clock to 10o'clock, proceeding countcr- clockwise. This section is to be completed first because it is to supportthe sliding roof panels in Lheir openposition . Following the completionof Lhis section, construction will begin on these roof panels, and the ongoing construction will continue, beginning at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock,to meet at the 6 o'clock position .

Another fascinating aspect of thecivil engineering analysis and design associated with the impositionof the Dome on Toronto s downtown is the transportation impacts.The investigation of these impactsis only one part of a broader set oftransportation impacts which have

been and must continue to be provided for. These broader impactsare associated with the overall development of the eN railway lands,of which the Dome site is a part.The specific transportation improvements required to provide accessto the structure itself have alreadybeen designed.

These improvements include thewestward extension of the Esplanade and a bridge over the railway tracks at Peter St. (just eastof Spadina) . To my knowledge,GO transit has not yet determinedwhether there will be a new GO eta-tioJ'l at the Dome or whether patronswho arrive by GO will have to walkfrom Union Station. The investment

in a new station seems necessary andwould help GO attract a significantpercentage of the new trips generated by the Dome.

The TTC will of course adjust their route to better servethe Dome, including special Express

routes. They are already improving their access to the Harbourfront,which will be the site of a great dealof new development in addition tothe Dome, with the new exclusiveright-of-way streetcar line (the buzzword is LRT) along Queen s Quay.In addition, the future addition of anLRT line down Spadina to the Domesite is a strong possibility. Such aline would play a vital role in theserving of trip demand generated bythe railway lands developments, butit is strongly opposed by the merchants along Spadina, who have organized a vocal and effective lobbygroup. This group represents a forceto be reckoned with on the municipal political scene. They were al-

, ready successful in a bid to defeata proposal by ci ty traffic engineersto ban onstreet parking. Improvements to the transportation networkapart from the railway lands themsel ves wil l be necessitated by the developments.

The segment of the GardinerLakeshore Corridor west of thedowntown is already at capacityduring peak hours. Granted, mostof the demand generated by theDome, the largest single new generator, will be off-peak demand. But,this corridor is near capacity evenin the off-peak. The problems tobe anticipated will only be magnified by the fact that capacity alongthe Gardiner will be greatly reducedfor most of the next 15 years. Alane will be lost in e ~ h directionover some section of the Expressway for most of this time due to required rehabilitation of the bridgedeck structure made necessary byextensive corrosion. Fortunately,these issues are being addressed bythe Metro Toronto Department ofRoads and Traffic. Possibilities include a widening the western section of the Expressway, an extension of Front St. beyond Bathurst,and a < Freeway Traffic ManagementSystem for the Gardiner-LakeshoreCorridor.

Another Issue is the provisionof the required parking for theDome. It was not possible to provide enough parking on-site to meetthe anticipated demand for it. Themaximum seating is 58,000. Fornight-time events, a great deal of thedowntown s parking capacity is unused and patrons will be expectedto walk from these nearby lots. Forday-time events, there is unlikely tobe sufficient parking capacity in thedowntown core. This, of course, willprovide a strong incentive for peopletravelling to the Dome to use transi t . To provide additional incentivein this direction, the parking pricesare lik.ly to be set high.

The Dome will be a world-class facility, the world s first stadium witha fully retractable roof. Along withthe other developments planned forToronto s lakefront, the Dome willchange the way Toronto residentsand the residents of other cities willperceive Toronto. The full socioeconomic impacts of these developments cannot realistically be foreseen in their entirety. Some of theinevitable adjustments which will benecessary will only become apparentat a later date and will have to bedealt with at that time .The Engineering in rt

by Paul Meyer3B CivilA few weeks ago, at a performanceof the K- W Symphony Orchestra, I

had two revelations. The first wasthat French horn players producea phenomenal amount of spit. whenthey play. The second was thatsomeone has designed the Frenchhorn in such a way that it. can stillfunction even though partially filledwith spit. An ingeniously placedvalve allows the player to occasionally dump some of his/her collectedspit onto the stage, his trousers andthe first violins.As I sat listening to Schumman shorn concerto, I thought about the

tremendous amount of engineeringthat had been involved in the presentation of the concert that night.The brass section was the most obvious example of engineering, with itsselection of long metal tubes of exactdiameter and composition, the precisely located and mounted valves,the exponentially flared ends andthe telescopic joints to allow for tunmg.

Assuming the brass instrumentsare in fact made of brass, they firstexisted as a set of copper sulfide andzinc sulfide ores, perhaps in Northern Ontario. These ores were probably discovered by geologists usinga variety of techniques, including

gravimeters, seismic detection anddiamond drilling. Analysis of thecollected data indicating the presence of recoverable ore would haveled to a program of site preparation.

This site preparation would include the development of roads, water supply, power supply and possible on-site housing for mine workers.Construction of this type would involve civil engineers. Initial development of the mine itself would firstinvolve clearing the clay overburden from the site using large earthmoving equipment, designed by mechanical engineers in either Detroitcontinued on page 18)

Canada s \ Next Frontierby Darren Protulipac3B Civil

There are a few people that insistthat regional locals such as Kenora,Sudbury, North Bay, (or even Timmins) lie within that geographicalboundary known as the North .Relative to our position (KitchenerWaterloo), this may be t ~ u e . However, in a geographical sense, any location north of the 60 N. latitude isconsidered as the true North .

Interest in the Canadian Northsubtends from the days of SirAlexander Mackenzie (circa 1790),where trading and exploration wasthe main object of the expeditions.Today, the North houses some ofCanada's richest natural resources.

In the extraction processes associated with these northern resources,engineering projects are dependenton the environmental performanceand mobility of men and machines.However, pollution (chemical, thermal, etc.) from these extraction processes must be intergrated into thenorthern design. Furthermore, climatic considerations and permafrostknowledge are two engineering concerns that must be incorporated intothe northern project. Allowance forthese concerns will increase one'sevaluation of the performance and

mobility of the men and machines, working conditions to effectively acand the pollution associated with complish their intended goals.them.

The Canadian North has associated with it the climatic, sociological, and even psychological factorsnot present anywhere else. The impact of these factors will becomequite apparent for almost any engineer who has, or intends to have,any future relationship with theNorth. Two important considerations which contribute to these factors are the climate and permafrost .

Its existence results from amultitude of conditions, which include: an average annual air temperature below freezing; snow (drifting), which increases the reflectivepropertie s (albido effect) an organicoverlay (peat) to insulate the frozensoil; and the solar inclination of thegeographical north.

The engineering approach to sucha condition is of two types - thePassive and the ClActive . In thepassive alternative the existing thermal regime is maintained via insulation. The active alternative considers a modification of the permafrosttable, or the laissez faire approachand accepts the changes.' Unnecessary disturbance of the muskegecosystem (which includes the waterbalance, energy balance, etc. ie. thepeatlands) that blankets the northern tundra results in thermal reactions, consisting of differential thawsettlements, creating a thermokarsttopography.Recently, Canadian sovereigntyfor the North was recognized whenthe Defence Minister Perrin Beattystated that five Arctic military airfields will receive financial supportfor upgrade. It should be apparent that the engineers will takethe northern factors into consideration when spending our tax dollars .The Canadian North presents a newfrontier for innovative and dynamicengineering because of the great ecanomic potential and sensitive environment.

Computers have become an indispensible resource in most areas ofengineering. Today we can processthousands of equations in minutes; adecade ago it would have taken manyears.

The assistance computers providein such cases is immense. But tomany, the power stops there. Thecomputer is -viewed as a tool thatcan crunch numbers, invert matrices, pound out reports, and notmuch more.The IBM Personal Computer isa standard machine for engineers:they are used at school, in the office,and at home. The IBM PC performsits function properly and reliably.The technology trends of today of-fer something vastly different; something that satisfies the intuitive, curious and creative side in all ofus. This technology goes far beyondthe origninal need for raw numbercrunching power. The trend is inessence to make the computer incredibly simple to use by making itoperate in a fashion directly analogous to real-life situations. Thistechnique opens many doors. It simplifies operations which would otherwise be too long, complex or cum-

bersome. It provides a friendly environment for new users and greatlyshortens their learning curve. Thiseffectively increases the number ofpeople who would be willing to usea machine to aid in problem solving.It integrates different tasks resultingin a complete unit system. But mostimportantly it allows a machine tobecome a tool we use to developand communicate creative engineering ideas .

a new standard in softwareintegr tionThe first personal computer toharness this technology was the Apple Macintosh. It set a new standard in software inllegration . user interface consistency and ease of use.Third-party IBM software vendorstried unsuccessfully to duplicate theMacintosh environment on the IBM

PC. Of equal importance is the Macintosh's excellent graphics capability. Combined with a relatively inexpensive laser printer, the Macintosh started a booming industry 10'desk-top publishing'.You may have had a chance tosee the new Macintosh lab MacBooth located in CPH. It is notuncommon to see a new user printing off systems dia grams 15 minutesafter being introduced to the ma.-chine. Reports are equally. easy to

create. And they ca.n be submittedfor laser printing, providing typeset quality with graphics. This is adream come true for grad studentswriting theses . But it is also usefulto undergrads doing write-ups, reports, assignments, etc. Drawingsand mathematical formulae

Our Neighbour to the Northby Paul Meyer .3B Civil

If most of us were asked whichcountry on Earth most closelyresembled Canada, most of uswould probably respond the UnitedStates of America , and from someviewpoints this would appear to beobvious. However, there is anothernation which comes in a close second. That nation is the Unionof Soviet Social ist Republics. Unfortunately, because of our proximity to the United States, and theoverwhelming influence that America has upon our culture and education, most of us know very little about our northern neighbour,and much of what we do know iswildly inaccurate.One of the ways in which theUSSR resembles Canada is in themultiplicity of .nationalities of whichthe natio n is composed. WhileCanada is a country of that grewby immigration from many nations,the USSR grew to incorporate manyterritories of very different racial,cultural and ethnic backgrounds .These territories have remained cohesive over time, and many of thempreserve their unique heritage. This

is very different from the Americanmelting pot philosophy and muchmore similar to Canada s policy ofmulticulturalism .As another northern nation, theUSSR shares many of the climaticand geographical problems thatCanada faces . Which other countries are building on permafrost ,navigating in polar ice or drilling foroil in muskeg? Like Canada, theUSSR is a nation in which transportation of goods and people overextremely long distances is a necessity. Both nations take pride intheir transcontinental railway systems. Indeed, while Canadians shipmore freight by rail per capita thananyone, the Soviet railways accountfor over half of all the rail freight inthe world.One of the most pressing problemsin both Canada and the USSR inthe past has been their reliance upontheir status as producers of raw materials . For years both nations reliedupon their neighbours to producemanufactured goods and to maketechnological advances. Recently,both nations have been attemptingto alter this situation; Canada because of increasing protection ist sen-

timent in the United States, theUSSR because of its isolation fromthe Wes t .It is this isolation of the USSRfrom the West that is one of the

most puzzling questions in today'sworld. Why is it that we in Canadaidentify ourselves a Western nation, rather than a Northern one?Surely nations with so much in common should find cause for alliance.Consider that both nations arevery young, but possessing of richhistories. Canada has been an independent state only since the passage of the Statute of Westminsterin 1931, but its history includes thetraditions of England, France, Scotland and the many other nationalities that have come here. TheUSSR was founded in 1917 in Russia; a nation with a history extending back to the middle ages, and hassince incorporated nearly 120 differ

ent nationalities into its territories.Both countries have decided to buildupon the histories of their peoplesrather than trying to suppress them.There are hyphenated Soviets justas there are hyphenated Canadians .

Popping the Protectiveby James V Abraham

The Strategic e f ~ n c e Initiative(SOl) has been in the forefront ofUS-Soviet discussions since its introduction a few years ago. SDI (commonly called Star Wars) is a program to develop a defence againstincoming Soviet missiles. Initialplans involve a laser in space target ted by means of computers. Thesystem would explode any dangerous missiles intended for the US. Ascommercials shown on US televisionput it, a 'protective dome' wouldcover the land . .Although a system whichpromises protection against nuclearannihilation should be hailed by thepublic, it has become a topic of emotional debate. There have been placards, speeches and petitions urgingthe pentagon to keep war away fromouter space. Recently, the question of feasibility has been raised.Present technology may not be ableto support the concept of SOL Thecomputers which are the essentialpart of the system are limited intheir capacity.The designing of SDI, like any design proceas, demands a list of spec-,ifications .and requirements. However, since it is meant to operate inan environment that has never before existed, these specifications andrequirements can only be guessed at.The variations of attacks that willhave to be part of the system are numerous. The protection that will berequired for the hardware and software is a complication in itself.Given that the hardware is feasible, there is still the matter of thecomplex software that is required.As expected, the larger the code,the more errors there are in the

system. SDI software requirementshave been estimated at 10 to 25 million lines of code with initial errorsof 10 000 to 100 000 - a little lessthan perfect'. Finding and correcting these errors is, in itself, a mammoth task.The actual environment that SDIis meant for will not be available fortesting purposes. Although simulations can be used, they are still only

present technology m y notbe able to support theconcept ofS Icontrolled situations. Testing portions of the system is also unreliable.The whole system needs to be testedunder realistic conditions. Accuratetesting of the software is therefore,impossible and what is left is undependable machinery.

The US Navy developed a system called Aegis which, theoretically, provides protection for navalvessels against incoming missiles. Ittracks hundreds of missiles and firesweapons to destroy up to twenty ata time. During intial field tests, thesystem could only track three targets simultaneously and missed sixof the sixteen missiles - nO.t an impressive first run. This is just an example of how ineffecient laboratorytesting is for such programs.The Aegis system is a minuteundertaking compared with SOl.The added complexity of SOl onlycompounds the disappointing finalresul t.

March 987 ron Warrior 9Amnesty Lightsby Don Kudo38 Civil

Human rights cannot be left togovernments, legislators, and jurists.They are the concern and responsibility of the man and woman inthe street, of the labourer, the office clerk, the student. Those werethe words of Suriya Wickremasinghe of the International Executive Committee of Amnesty International, upon accepting a United Nations Human Rights Prize in 1978.Amnesty International (AI) isa worldwide movement concernedwith the protection of human rights.

The independent organization seeksthe release of people detained anywhere for their beliefs, colour, sex,ethnic origin, language, or religion,who have not used or advocated violence. AI considers such people asprisoners of conscience.

Represented in over 160 countries, AI utilizes worldwide opinionto pressure governments regardingmatters concerning prisoners of conscience. The unconditional releaseof such prisoners, and the oppositionto torture or other cruel, inhumanor degrading treatment is voiced primarily through letter writing campaigns. Though a seemingly tameapproach, the effectiveness of mobilizing thousands of people with regard to a particular case has beenproven. Evidence of the prowess ofAI letter writing campaigns is displayed by the fact that five prisonersof conscience are released each day.In the K W area, there arepresently three AI groups. The oncampus chapter, Group 118, is perhaps one of the most visible and

a Candleactive campus clubs. Weekly meetings, speaker and movie nights, information booths , and coffeehouses,are a few of the activities that thegroup undertakes each term.

Group 118 has recently adopteda prisoner of conscience, DimitriAlexiou. Dimitri is serving a fouryear prison term in Greece due tohis refusal to partake in military service. His refusal as a conscientiousobjector is based on his religious beliefs.Along with the letter writing,publicity, and fund raising aimedat gaining Dimitri's release, Group118 is currently involved in the campaign against the reinstatement ofthe death penalty in Canada. Theopposition to the death penalty ispart of AI's mandate of protecting

human rights worldwide.An information booth hosted byGroup 118 will be displayed in the

Campus Centre on March 25 - 27.In addition to material and information regarding Amnesty International, Dimitri's case, and the issue of the death penalty, a petitionopposing the reinstatement of thedeath penalty in Canada will be presented.Human rights are a universalresponsibility, and the efforts ofAmnesty International works todefend international human rightsstandards. Membership can be asencompassing as one wishes, as anyamount of participation aids in at taining the goals of AI. Remember,It is better to light a candle, thanto curse the darkness.

Exposing Reagan s Facadeby Sarah Ahmed2B Economics

After months of speculation aboutthe findings of the Tower Commission's report on the Iran-Contraarms scandal, the American public was finally exposed to the disastrous management style of one ofthe most popular administrations inmodern times. The eighty page report released at the beginning ofMarch traces the history of the debacle and forcefully criticizes all the

J i : ; ~key players who created the politicalnightmare - a situation that somesay is worse than Watergate. Thecommission concludes that President Ronald Reagan himself didn'tintend to mislead the public or coverup unlawful conduct. No matterwhat his intent however, the factsshow that there is no one more toblame than Reagan because of hisbasic lack of understand ing and control over the very men who supposedly created this sham.

The President claims that thesales of military equipment to Iranwere meant to rekindle relationswith 'moderates' in a geo- politicallycrucial region. But the commissionfound that from the beginning, thetransactions were actually arms-forhostages deals - Reagan being the instigator of the whole initiative.After failing to convince the Secretaries of Defence and State - Caspar Weinberger and George Shultz -to accept a proposal to sell Teheranlimited supplies of military hardware, former National Security CoucilChief Robert McFarlane finally convinced President.Reagan to go aheadwith the plan. McFarlane testifiedto the commission that the President casually agreed to the shipmentof 100 TOW anti-tank missiles from

Israel in exchange for seven American hostages in July, 1985. He waswell aware that Shultz and Weinberger opposed the move. Only onehostage was released after the de-livery of 508 Ws in ugua anSeptember. Reagan has no recollection of this decision.

By the end of 1985, the new NSCChief Vice-Admiral John Poindexter and his subordinate Lt . Col.Oliver North became the main participants in the deals with Iran .In January 1986, a covert committee called the Operations Sub-Grou pwas set up after a Presidential 'finding' that allowed pre-emptive strikesagainst terrorists . Oliver North wasgiven free reign over this outfit . OnJanuary 17, the President signed another 'finding' to make legal the supply of arms to Iran from Washington - a decision he kept secret frommany top advisors including Shultzand Weinberger. The next monthsaw another 1000 TOWs shippedto Iran for which no hostages werereleased. In May, Poindexte r sent.. + :t. 1I\1ne1:ieans electeda orgetful

Incidentally,the plane they travelled on carried acargo of spare parts for anti-aircraftmissiles to be exchanged for the sixremaining hostages. Two were released, but within six months, threemore Americans were kidnapped inthe Middle East. In July, Congressvoted to resume aid to Nicaraguanrebels - something it had not donesince 1984. It was at this time thatNorth began diverting the profitsmade from the sales to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. Althoughthe Iranians paid nearly $30 million

Lt-Col. Oliver Northfor the equipment, almost $10 million is stil l unaccounted for. Reagan contends that he knew of nosuch diversion for the Contra cause.North continued meeting with iranian financiers and middlemen, andin October 86, the Lebanese magazine AI Shiraa soon exposed thesesecret dealings and the story broke.

The Tower Commission also reported that CIA director WilliamCasey knew many details about thefunneling of funds and gave OliverNorth his full support. North's vastnetwork of connections also includedmany former and current CIA officials, and George Shultz testifiedthat it was the Agency that kepttalks open with the Iranians.

President Reagan held two pressconferences to deal with the issue.On November 19, 1986, he deniedboth Israel's involvement and hisown approval of the sales. By March19, the date of his second conference,Reagan had ftip-flopped so manytimes about his involvement thathe finally denied remembering anything at all about the approval. Healso denied any knowledge about themissing funds.

Latest developments include testimony for Oliver North's secretaryFawn Hall that she altered memosand shredded documents for herboss when the scandal broke.

This year s conference featured keynote speakers and 53 seminars on topics ranging from starting a small business while still inschool to running a Fortune .100corporation. The agenda includeda tradeshow, an Academy Awardstyle banquet honouring America stop 100 young entrepreneurs, andseveral social events geared to networking, or establishing contacts

among the 1200 delegates .The representatives of Waterloo,sponsored by Dean Lennox and sup

ported by Dr. Wright, were successful in promoting the activities of thisuniversity, gathering information onentrepreneurIal activities and studies at universities abroad, and establishing contacts with these institutions. In addition to the personalinsights that each delegate gainedfrom the experience, many, verybeneficial ideas were picked up fromother university representatives andseminars on how entrepreneurshipcan be better promoted on campus,boLh through academics and by wayof the expanding activities of theEntrepreneur s Club.With the recent government interest in expanding entrepreneurialinstruction within high schools and

universities, tapping into this network of people and resources can beof great benefit to UW. The Ontariogovernment has already formed atask force to prepare entrepreneurially oriented curr icula for our schools,and has set aside funding for activities and clubs in this area. The UWEntrepreneur s Club has already secured significant funding from theMinistry of Trade and Technologyto allow the implementation of someof the exciting ideas that arose fromthe Chicago conference.With many of their founding members graduating this year, the UWEntrepreneurs Club is anxious tohear from anyone interested in taking an active role in the future ofthis group.

German Approachto ducation

Burninguildingoops oopsby Hans Sanders

NN-EngThe last issue of the Iron Warriorcontained two articles which offeredme the opportunity to present somedetails on a foreign u n i v ~ r s j t y system. After one and a half termsof studying in Waterloo through anexchange program, 1 am impressedby some features of this university.

There are, however, some differences with my previous studies atthe Technical University of Braunschweig in West-Germany.

In Germany, we normally do nothave to hand in assignments. We arenot bugged by quizzes every weekand we don t have midterms. At theend of each term, there are writtenor oral final exa minat ions over a fourto six week period. Furthermore, wedo not pay tuition. The universityis mostly supported by the government and i n d ~ s t r y research grants.

These differences create a uniqueattitude towards universities. InGermany, studies are considered thebest time of your life, and it doesnot really matter if they last oneterm more or one term less. Students have more 8exibility to create their own schedule, partially because the work-load is not as heavyas it is in Waterloo. They can concentrate on things that are of particular interest (unimaginable in Engineering?). In my opinion, such away of learning is more likely to enable students to make the step frompassive consumers of concentratedknowledge to active participants oftheir own education process.

One other way to promote thischange is the oral exam. They require a different way of preparation from the student and give bothstudents and professors immediate

feedback about what they understood and how the professor s teaching was perceived. Only a few questions are needed to show whethe, astudent understands the overall picture of a topic (eg. what FourierTransforms are all about) Sophisticated algebraic and numerical manipulations must be left to exercises.Conducting oral examinations maynot be possible for a class of 300 students, but they are very valuable inupper-year courses.

While studying in Waterloo, Ifound that paying tuition alone doesnot intensify the interest of studentsin their studies. Tuition seems tobe a social issue. f university education really offers its proposed benefits, J would not mind paying partof its costs. But these days, thesebenefits become more and more uncertain. In Germany, one reason tokeep universities free and as open aspossible, is to relieve the labour market. Is it fair to charge tuition whenit is known in advance that manystudents will not find adequa te jobs?

-Although the optimal universityeducation cannot exist, there is always room for improvement. In thissense it is very interesting to realize that a different culture naturallyruns a university in ways which arethought to be revolutionary at inCanada.

In an unprecedented show ofmathematical ability, the editors(that s us) found a solution to theburning building problem posed inour last issue. The solution, unfortunately, involved space-time warpsand athletic ability currently beyondthe scope of human capability. Theman on the building was, therefore,left to a horrible fate, beating backthe blaze with the 5m boards.

The original solution involvedplacing one board diagonally acrossthe corner of buildj.ng one and theother one from the center of the firstboard to the corner of building two.The diagram is shown in the previous issue. Using the highest formsof computing power available, theeditors convinced themselves thatthis would work with the dimensionsgiven in the problem. In fact, theyconvinced themselves three times.The actual problem works a lotbetter (correctly in fact) if thelength of the boards is given as 6.6m with a distance between the buildings of 7 m. Note that the originallength of the boards as stated in theprevious iBBue was 5 m. Our solution is geometrically impossible withthese dimensions.

Thanks to all the people who werequick to notice our petit faux pas.Following the publication of this fi-nal issue, both editors will be sentto update their Grade 10 geometry.It seems once wasn t enough.

Housing Crisis SolvedWATERLOO (FLQ) The EngSoc CD has proposed a solution to Waterloo's student housing crisis. Students will be able to construct theirown houses using empty pop andjuice cans, and insulate the aluminum houses with the styrofoamcoffee cups. Students will be ableto apply for these residences by theend of this term, said a spokesperson for the Engineering Society. Itis expected that four male or fourfemale students will apply for eachbatch of cans and cups. Successful applicants will be able to construct their houses wherever theycan find space. Possible expansions of the program include burning empty .milk cartons to heat thestructures, and using the plasticwrappers from sandwiches to makewindows.

Both students and officials inthe municipality are becoming concerned by t-he increasing lack of student housing in the region. Traditional student ghettos such as Sunnydale are being renovated to prevent students from living there, andmore students than ever are expected in the next two years.

Eng Soc AElections Fixedby Guido 1W Staff

Foul play is suspected in the conduct of the past Eng Soc 'A' elections, held in March, 1986. A reexamination of the ballots has revealed that Bill Jackes, currentlyserving as 'A' Soc President, did notin fact win the ejection. The actualPresidential winner was rival candidate Blair Clemes.

The ballots were found as CROGreg Krebs prepared the ballot boxfor the recent Eng Soc 'B' elections.A quick recount determined that thea.ctual vote totals were Clemes 186,Jackes 170. The Dumber of ballotscounted for a third candidate, ToddCrick, remained the same.The recount started off as a, said outgoing 'B' Soc Secretary Thomas White, but now itseetns that we've uncovered a scandal of major proportions. No onecould say whether Clemes would beassuming his position for the duration of its term.Neither Clemes nor Jackes couldreached for comment.

Nuke the WhalesOTTAWA (IWP) - The British Ambassador to Canada presented 8strongly worded protest to PrimeMinister Brian Mulroney today.Margaret Thatcher is apparentlydispleased by the destruction of.Wales by cruise missiles. A FleetStreet newspaper quoted the Queenas saying, We are not amused.According to sources in London,what used ' to be the country ofWales in Britain disappeared yesterday in several large mushroomclouds. The Pentagon has deniedany responsibility for the incident,claiming ' that the cruise missilesused in the bombing were providedto Canada for testing at the ColdLake facility in Alberta.Mulroney, who was reached at hisoffice last night, is confused by theuproar. I promised to nuke Waleswhen I was at Waterloo, referringto a speech that he made while visiting the University of Waterloo. Ijust don't understand you people inthe press. First you complain because we are not following throughon any of our promises, and now youcomplain when we carry one of themout. Mulroney refused any furthercomment, but suggested that theMinist er of Defense mig t be b e 0shed some light on the incident.

The Minister was not available forcomment, but a spokesman for hisoffice said that the scheme was aclever use of resources. It stoppedcruise missile testing in Canada, itallowed the testing to be completedas we promised to the Americangovernment, and it provided theopportunity for the Prime Minister to carry through on one of hispromises. The spokesman went onto say that the test was an unqualified success.In a press conference earlier today, a reporter from Maclean's Mkedif the Prime Minister was sure hehad carried through on the correctpromise. Yes, I am sure. I stoodup to begin my speech, and ev- erybody was chanting 'Nuke Wales,nuke Wales.' It seemed like a r e ~sonable t h i n ~ to do, so I agreed.What was that? They said 'Nukethe whales,' with an 'h'? Oh. Whywould they want me to do that?Urn, can I get back to you on that?

Childish ResponseWASHINGTON (FO) - Once again,the White House has rejected anarms reduction proposal from Sovietleader Mikhail Gorbachev. This latest offer from the Soviets calls fora complete and bilateral elimination

of all nuclear missiles and spacebased weapons, and a reduction ofconventional armaments. Secretaryof Defense Weinberger told reportersthat the Soviet offer was typicalof the silly, unrealistic attitude theSoviets have shown throughout thelatest round of [disarmamentJ talks.They must think they're dealingwith children here.

What Acid RainProblem?WASHINGTON(SOB)- Senator BillRedneck from Virginia has deniedthe existence of any problems withacid rain in either the United Statesor Canada. Senator Redneck claimsthat the acid rain crisis is a conspiracy involving the Canadian government so that American coal-firedpower stations would have to be shutdown. The United States wouldthen be forced to buy electricityfrom Canada.

It's all a big scam/' said theSenator at a recent press conference. There ain't no such thingas acid rain. First you people complain that we're dumping all kindsof junk and stuff in the lakes andrivers and make them all cloudy andscummy. Now when you've got niceclean lakes and rivers you start complaining again. This kind of thingmakes me sick. Them Canadiansjust want to cripple the Americanpower industry so they can take itover. Virginia is a major producerof coal in the United States.

It's in the MailOTTAWA (00) - Bowing to pressures from within the CanadianUnion of Postal Workers, the PostOffice has decided to redefine itsinternal deadlines for mail service.Originally, a letter mailed tc an address within the city in which it wasposted was to be delivered by thefollowing day, whil mail to oth rcities within the same provinl. > waato take no more than three dl\Y8 tobe delivered. This was completelyunrealistic , said CUPW PresidentJean Parrot, but the new guidelines are something we feel we canlive with . These guidelines s p e c ~ify a one-month deadline for intracity mail, and three months forintraprovince mail.

TV Stars SetForeign PolicyNEW YORK (HOHO) - ABC Newshas confirmed that Barbara Walterswas acting as a go-between in theIranian arms deal, but sources heresay that her journalistic integrityhas not been compromised. Wehad a doctor check her over, andshe 's still Grade A , one spokes -person was quoted as saying .

Fremantle's America's Cupby Frank OrsiniAustralian Bureau Chief

FREMANTLE (F.O .) The 1987America's Cup is/was and will probably be, for a long while, the largestevent in Australia. With the Australian government appointing a federal parliament minister for the America's Cup, and the city of Fremantle(Freo) declared as an official America's Cup project, this was morethan just a boat race . This 'quaintcosm?politan city and bustling harbour (the largest Australian porton the Indian Ocean) has becomea trendy place for Perth-ites to beseen on Sunday afternoons. One ofthe few, noticeably non-British areas outside of Sydney or Melbourne,Freo was, not long ago, a dirty,sleazy slum that wasn't even worthextending the rapid transit serviceto. Now, Perth boasts the title of'the unofficial Italian food capital ofthe Southern Hemisphere'.

The America's Cup syndicateswere docked at Fremantle but the

sailing was done off the beaches ofCottesJoe and Scarborough - that'sbeaches with a capital 'B'. Western Australia has the weather andbeaches that California thinks it has- amazing surf, very few rocks, continuous sandy shores and no lethaljellyfish or stingers (as are found outeast from Sydney to the Great Barrier Reef). It was actually possible to see the boats racing from thebeaches but that was about as exciting as watching cricket [Editor'snote: an average game of cricketlasts a few days). All of the America's Cup action was in Freo. Everyracing day, the harbour would fill upfor the 10 a.m. departure of the 12m crafts. After the Aussie boats left(the last ones), everyone would scat-ter and come back at 5 p.m. for thereturn of the boats. Then, it's outto the cafe's and pubs till the weehours of the night .

In a word, the weather here is... predictable. Summer means noclouds, low humidity , and daily temperatures in the low to mid 30s (it's

Getting into pubs isn't a concern when the whole esplanade park(area between the harbour and thecity centre - they don't say downtown) becomes an enormous pubwith the local beers trying to outpromote Melbourne's Foster's. Foster's sells the most but in one person's opinion (mine), Victoria Bitter- made by the same company - is thebest.

After the final race of the Cup,Freo became one enormous party -heaps of drinking and genuine Australian no-worries atmosphere allaround.

Through a break in the cloudfilled night sky, the two men saw anamber, full moon rise out of the eastern hills. It glowed with an orangegold light that caressed the cloudsat the edge of the rift. Like theeye of a god, the cold orb gazedupon the valley beneath. It saw 'the armies coming from the north torape the wealth of the sleeping farming community below. It saw thecold ~ i n coming before the armies,numbmg the noses of the watchfulbefore they could smell the threat.Then it glimpsed the two men onthe hilltop overlooking the impending slaughter.

The moon knew that these twomortals would not interfere. Themoon had willed it. They wouldstay behind after the moon left. Itwas their lot to witness the culmination of fate. This task would torture the men. Even a hundred yearsfrom now, one of the men would agonize over the coming crime and hisown inactivity. The sweet pain ofthe coming crime and his own inactivity. The sweet pain of this nightwould sting for a lifetime. The moonsmiled.

Seeing that all things were in order , the sadistic moon rose out ofsight. He closed the misty curtainbehind him, vanished like a thiefinto the night.The men watched the evil lifetaker depart, and then turned theirattention back to the less celestialscenery. One of the men was shaking."Damn it, Arkon, we can't just le tthem die like that " The speakergrit his teeth together. Dry lipsparted and drew back in an anguished grimace.

"Don't be a fool, Reisend. You'veheard my portent. You know Ukko'struth. Your own patron clerics havespoked likewise. Desist. " This dialoguer was an old human dressedin exotic ceremonial robes. His agedcountenance wore a solemn expression. his even voice did not betrayhis true emotion.

Los Reisend did notsee Arkon's clasped hands tremblingwith frustration beneath the thicksleeves of the death rite robes.

turmoil that his friend must be experiencing. His revelation stilled hisacidic tongue."I'm sorry old friend; I'm onlymaking it worse for you,'" Los apologized. Arkon calmed his inner

storm ."Since I saw the true way, myvocation has been the healing ofmankind," said the Arch Patriarchof Ukko. "The witnessing of a senseless slaughter abhors me, Los ."The two men fell silent and turnedonce more to the valley. Los's keen
