NORMAN E. WOOD Cord Weekly The next time you see WLUSU President AI Strathdee he may have his hair dyed an alarming purple and white. It's all part of the Shinerama bet Laurier and the University of Waterloo made with the University of Western Ontario. The idea was to see which side could raise $89,000 through Shinerama, part of the "89 in '89" theme. The student government executives of the losing side will dye their hair in the colours of the winning school or schools. If Western wins, Strathdee and the all of WLUSU's Vice-Presidents will have to dye their hair purple and white. Of the three schools involved, only Wilfrid Laurier University seems to have reached its goal. However, the exact results of Shinerama,last Saturday's climax to Frosh Week, are unknown. Laurier raised an estimated $37,000. That is an impressive $3,000 over the goal of $34,000. President Strathdee said that he was "really proud of our Frosh... they did great." When asked about Uni­ versity of Waterloo's performance he said only that he was "dis­ appointed. Really disappointed." Strathdee had no comment about the idea of dyeing his hair. University of Waterloo was to raise $55,000 which, combined with Laurier's total, would make the overall goal of $89,000. When asked for an estimate, U of W's Shinerarna Chairperson skirted the is­ sue, claiming that a lot of money is unaccounted for so far. On the Ob, those crazy Shiners!

(Robert Saunders Photo) goal. University of Waterloo's Federation of Students said that much of the money for Shinerarna is not made through the traditional shining of cars and shoes. The Peds made $2,000 during the summer on spe­ cial events, and are donating some of the proceeds from their services Cheerleaders sent home such as Fed Hall and the Bombshelter.

I In a small town outside Beunos Ares, Argen­ tina, a little girl grows up scarred by the degradation of her class. Vowing to make a change for her fellow poor people, Evita uses her body to rise up the social ladder. A chance meeting with a young general named Peron leads to Evita's instatement as the first lady of Argentina at the age of 27. After years of helping the poor people in her coun­ try, Evita Peron dies at 33 of ovarian cancer. The legend of Evita lives on in Argentina to this day. Last of the VietNam war flicks Steve Burke Theatre Laurier is presenting the award-winning musical Evita for three nights only September 21, Last week, The Princess Cinema premiered what has··become the 22, 23.

Both could be set in any country at any time, as the historical and political framework becomes irrelevant. If 84 Charlie MoPic would have been made ten years ago, the "Viet Nam Experience" may have been exhausted and the movie­ going public may only have to be subjected to the post-war wound­ licking dramas such as The Deer Hunter and Jack.kJiife. Incidentally, the war is not over yet On the verge of release is the film adaptation of Bobby Ann Mason's In Country, a thought­ provoking novel about how the war's's dead affect the living, in a society still struggling to understand itself. The project is in the deft hands of Canadian director Norman Jewison, although the ftlm stars Bruce Willis as the mistreated, maladjusted veteran. Hopefully, what promises to be the definitive Viet Nam aftermath film will sew up the wounds and seal up the vault on the whole parasitic business -- business being the operative wont.

~NDSOR16-TORONT011 The Blues edged out the Lancers last year for the fourth and final playoff spot, but it was to be Windsor's hance for revenge this week as a late touchdown by Ozzie Nethersole gave the Lancers (3-4 last year) lthe win. Toronto (3-3-1 in 1988) was led by the rushing exploits of Lome King, whose 122 yard effort was !highlighted by a 72-yard touchdown run. Nethersole was the game-high runner with 145 yards.

!GUELPH 36 -YORK 19 The Yeomen, who finished at 1-6 last season, put up a good first half effort against the OUAA pre­ iseason favourites (4-1-2 in '88), trailing by only three points at half.

Nearly half a million students can't be wrong. You don't need to be a you-know-who (who me?) to know that travelling by train is light years ahead of other forms of mass transportation. Nearly half a million students in Canada took the train last year to visit family and friends or take a well-deserved break away from it all. Of course the relative merits of train travel are easy to see.
