THE CORD WEEKLY It's everyone's issue Sexism is not just a women's issue, it is human issue. This, to some of you, might seem like a silly ideological statement made by so-called "bleeding-heart feminists". That just is not so. In our day-to-day lives we contibute to the problem merely by adhereing to societal norms which tend to objectify women. Does any of this deserve our attention? Is it really that serious? Look around you. Last week the Waterloo Chronicle reported that the faculty at the University of Waterloo had thrown their support behind the students' efforts to have the Miss Oktoberfest pageant moved off the UW campus. Protesting by students has drawn unwanted coverage of the yearly event. These protests have been peaceful in the past, but have the potential to escalate into all out battles. National tele- vision crews will send a picture to their viewers of a school divided and possibly driven to violence. Is this the sort of im- age that UW's President Doug Wright is hoping to promote? The added opposition to the pageant being held at the Humanities Theatre will force Doug Wright and the univer- sity's Board of Governors take a second look at their stance on the issue. But will the final decision change? The debate must be settled. Pageants of this nature are the supreme objectification of women. No human being should be judged like cattle or graded like a piece of meat. One must real- ize that both men and women are thinking people, valuable for their minds, not only their bodies.

Mike Shirley, lead singer of third prize recipients 'Cocky Chuck', asks us to take a little "Walk On

The Wildside". / Cord photos by Neville Blair Generally speaking, talent shows are pretty flighty affairs. The ratio of bad acts to good ones is a heck- ler's wet dream. Often people who have no business whatsoever being on a stage are coerced into enter- ing such contests at the urging of well-intentioned friends. "It'll be a blast! You'll blow them away," they tell their eager pal Often the results are both painful and embarrassing for both audience and performer. It was with this somewhat less-than-healthy attitude clouding my head that I entered last Friday's Talent Show in the Turret. And I couldn't have been more wrong. The ten performing acts proved that quality talent abounds at this esteemed institution and—when given the forum to perform—people more than rise to the occasion. Even the judges decision about the eventual runners-up and winner of the event seemed to echo the opinion of most audience members. The participants were forced to endure a 48 hour delay when the event fell victim to a power-out on Billing himself as an "impoverished minimalist", Nimbus Ellis Wednesday and the performers (and much of the enthusiastic audience) were called back for Friday's per- had the guts to perform all-original numbers while accompanying formance. himself on the guitar and synthesizer.
