WLUSU to Build Elevator By Bryan C. Leblanc

The Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union Board of Direc- tors has approved the allocation of $40 000 to the construction of an elevator adjacent to the Student Union Building. These funds will be in addition to a $20 000 grant from the Wilfrid Laurier University Administration. In addition to the funding, the University has agreed to provide a Balloons! funding plan for the remainder of the cost, at an interest rate of 10%. Canada Day was a blast at the University of Waterloo. Hundreds of balloons were released into For years, WLUSU has been talking about building an elevator to the sky to commemorate the 121stbirthday of this great country.

Leblanc

Wilfrid Laurier University's proposal to equip Waterloo Park with a paved parking lot to help alleviate the University's persistent prob- lem of inadequate parking facilities has faced resistance from the McGregor Neighbourhood Association. This group feels that building a parking lot in Waterloo Park will take away from the Park's natural beauty and cause "vehicular traffic (which) is a clear threat to the peace of mind of residents in the Cen- tral, Spring, and Fountain Street areas, too many of whom are already experiencing stressful emotional problems as a result of random nighttime traffic", according to the group's submission to Council on April 25,1988. Ken Morrison, a concerned neighbourhood resident who disagrees with the McGregor Association, has taken a petition to Waterloo City Council with the hope of demonstrating that there are many residents in the area who prefer the parking lot solution. He pointed out in a letter to Waterloo Council that "the residents of Waterloo will obtain in return for the use of the land a well maintained, visually pleasing Laurier Gets Cash lot for the period of May to August of each year at no cost.

John Weir, left, looks quite pleased with the announcement. Morrison distributed a letter on Bricker, Ezra and Clayfield Cord Photo By Erika Sajnovic Streets in an attempt to gamer support for his position. According to his own figures, he received 18 of 36 back, all favorable to his view. The main concern of the residents who reside above the McGregor School is the students parking on Bricker, Ezra and Clayfield Streets which "are jammed with cars from early morning until late evening every day during the school year". A further concern is the lack of en- forcement of the 3 hour parking limit.

The organizers made sure that at least one comedic act was represented per night. Not only was it a nice break from bands, the comedy showcased was the very best available for bookings in the next school year. The Sunday night showcase saw the comedy group Illustrated Men took a break from acting as official emcee's for the evening to show off their blend of improv and stock comedy. The improv ses- sion was the best part of the show, as their skits were extremely flat, but even the improv was nothing exceptional. Illustrated Men were disappointing both as emcee's and as comics. Larry Morgenstern tried vainly to capture Monday night's audience approval. He had some good jokes, but his stand-up routine was nowhere near as funny as expected. His penchance for filthy humour had been toned down for the conference and it came across as somewhat dull. Tuesday night featured the two best acts of the conference. The first, Bertice Berry, established herself as one of the funniest women around. Her impressions of famous people were blended with pokes at white people (There are so many white people out there it looks like a blizzard"), and sex to create a fun time without resorting to shock value. By far Berry was the most impressive comedienne to showcase. Besides her excellent humour she did not rely on a black mini skirt to get the audience's attention. Corky and the Juice Pigs, a musical/comedic trio, demonstrated why they've become one of the most popular acts on the Canadian college circuit. Their unique approach to comedy included some rath- er warped songs (like Psychopathic Killer in the Summertime), a hilarious impression of Solid Gold Dancers which had the homophobics in the audience squirming in their seats, and the slighdy INSIDE TRACK offbeat skit "Two Game Show Hosts Meet In The Street".

A Song For Steven B. d. Oct., 1986

Summer came to an end and left me without a friend Where have you gone friend? I've looked but your not there

There's a white bird sits on the fence Ode To Elasto-face in at dawn, (Or why not to leave before midnight) then it's gone but always the sun is shining through the trees. I caught your gaze from across the room Penetrating my inner sanctum I don't know why your eyes so blue Bareskin I don't know why your lips so red, no, I don't know why people build walls Like some forgotten Bogart movie I know that I am not where bridges would do You hung in the corner the first animal I wish that I A sultry Bacall to inhabit your body could cross over to you. Surrounded by the whispered trails of ash filled smoke to wait the cold season I had a dream, a dream, a dream I strut across the crowded dancefloor outside your bed that you came home Dodging hot tingling: bulbous bodies we spent the hours Like I dreamed we would be to trail bouquets of limbs laughing in the fields... Two lovers OQ a sandy beach twigs, or flowers

Don't tell me lies Our eyes meet or to bring ointments which have don't cover my eyes with night I see a velvet gentleness taught you to fly I know what's right That cools my aching soul to feed carnivores without loss I remember a friend You offer me a ride in your Camaro to speak the language of natural things. laughing in the fields... The wind flows through my hair I believe that I am someone Still the white bird As we penetrate the darkness less than I am sits on the fence outside the magic circle at dawn of your embrace now when it's gone Declan N.B. Costello I see the sun (a pseudonym) and alone is shining would be too perfect through the trees. for a smile that tugs at moons for an eclipse when it is wanted most Paula Murray or for the sweet, sudden night when I arouse in your undergrowth the ghost of that old she-bear

wrinkled and wise she is wild with honey moist with thaw and spring.
