The Cord Weekly 8 Thursday, November 17,1988 THE CORD WEEKLY Laurier is not an island Rape. We've seen a lot of it in the news lately, what with the release of a well-received movie, The Accused, and the recent decision by an Ottawa judge that a letter threatening rape can't be legally considered criminal (unlike a letter threatening murder) because rape itself doesn't necessarily involve physical, emotional or psychological damage. And now the Sarah Asmussen case, far too close to home. Sexual assault is something that happens elsewhere, right? The judge in the Ottawa case symbolizes at least part of the problem. Is he insinuating that being forced to have sex against one's will could be pleasurable in some in- stances? Or was he just insensitive enough to believe that the old sports adage of "No blood, no foul" applies to cases of sexual assault? Either way, it's disturbing. Victims of sexual assault often feel that they are in some way responsible for the crime that has been committed against them. This is one myth, fostered by the courts and society's attitudes, which is completely without foundation. In short, it's a lie. Go on, I dare you, prove me wrong! People don't walk around "asking" to be raped, no Where you? matter what some think. It's a small, sad world when we were COMMENT I was there. My friends were there.

- Declan MacManus Paul James Pulls Out The Big Guns By Cori Cusak When it comes to straight ahead blues and rock and roll, nobody does it better than Toronto's "King Of The Strings", Paul James. The Paul James Band rolled through Fed Hall last Friday night as part of UW's Homecoming festivities. The sold out show had the crowd rocking from the moment James' band stepped on stage. As usual, the band members performed an instrumental number before introducing James, but for the first time since I began following the band a year ago, the dance floor was jammed during the instrumental. During the first set they pulled out the big guns and blasted out rocking renditions of classic Paul James Band songs like "Joint Out Back", "Round And Round", "Broken Hearted Lovers", "Sweet Little Angel" and "Ugliest Girl In Town". James and his bandmates sailed through covers of "Pretty Woman", "Gloria" and Chuck Berry's "School Days", thrilling the mostly over-twenty-five crowd. Both sets featured a mix of covers and originals, and the requisite trips to the bar. (For the initiated, Paul James always makes a tour of the venue with his guitar behind his head, chatting and dancing with the crowd and ends up sipping a vodka and o.j. at the bar while on- lookers cheer.) The only new addition to the set was a medley of "Stand By Me"/"Save The Last Dance For Me"/"Under The Boardwalk" that got great crowd reaction. Paul James is an entertainer. He is a talented guitarist, but first and foremost he is an entertainer. He hams it up incredibly on stage, rolling his eyes and gesturing along with the lyrics of songs, but audiences love this interaction. Although they rarely get any press, James' backing band members deserve recognition of their own. Bassist Brian Kipping, a tall lanky man whoresembles Buddy Holly, works magic with his stand up bass (although at Fed Hall he didn't play it because of an infected finger), pianist Gary Gray is at the core of the band, and Adrian Vecchiola provides solid drumming, on which to build clean, addictive music. For those who've seen Paul James before, the show hasn't changed. It has all the same elements of fun and style, but James High There! Paul James demonstrates the technique that inspired his cult classic hit "Joint Out Back". seems to observe that old adage of 'if itain't broke, don't fix it'. James and his band played to a sellout crowd at Fed Hall last Friday night as part of UW's homecoming If you've never seen The Paul James Band, they are definitely a festivities. Toronto's self-proclaimed "King of the Strings" proved that he can smoke a variety of joints, group of talented performers that can draw a crowd of any size into including bars.

The pictures say it all. Suffice to say, it was a stellar couple of days for entertainment in old K/W last week. Firstly, those rambunctious lads from Basic English made a spirited appearance at The Turret last Wednesday night Barrelling through original faves like "Outside The Law" and "Images Of Love", the Toronto-based band proved that com- parisons to R.E.M. and the early Stones are not just the product of some publicists' imagination. But the gentlemen remain philosophic about such lofty al- lusions. "The best we can do," said lead guitarist John Davis, "is to remain true to ourselves...to our musical roots". And the influences of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen come tumbling out as soon as you see them in performance. Despite a mysterious- ly low turnout, Basic English seemed to gain steam from the hyperactive crowd that was present Lead vocalist, Tim Armour, threw himself around the stage with vigour and verve, pausing only to blast out song lyrics or tug lovingly on a harmonica.

Starting at the top of the page and reading clock- wise is Tim Armour of Basic English with Sean Ryan, the group's bassist, pictured below. Mean- while, at the Huether House, are Tim Racine and, the evening's grand finale, Errol Black- wood.

If you missed out on Wednesday's fun and frolic, Friday evening saw a veritable sea of people turn out at the Heuther House to lend some valuable support to Amnesty International and also hear some great music. The music started at 8 p.m. and didn't end until well after the bar had closed. To

make matters even better, the turnout was fantastic and it must have warmed the cockles of the Organizers hearts to see so many people voicing a concern for international human rights abuses. The festive occasion also gave the crowd an opportunity to sign over a dozen petitions addressed to various politicians.

Skaters glide to greatness at Queen's Tournament By Diane Misener Laurier's Varsity Figure Skating team spiralled into the 1988-89 season this past weekend, with a strong showing at the Queen's Uni- versity Invitational Tournament The Lady Hawks leapt and lutzed to a sixth place finish, excelling in competition against Queen's, West- ern, Toronto, Waterloo, York, Brock and Guelph. The Formation Fourteen-Step team of Kelly Adam, Patty Gerber, Monique Mcllargey and Diane Misener led the Laurier squad, placing an impressive second behind only the host Queen's ladies. Adam also earned points for the Laurier squad in the Open Singles event, placing fifth after a breathtaking performance. In addition to that effort, Adam also had a bronze medal showing in the Senior Solo Dance event. She was followed closely in the latter event by Kristy Nichol, who copped a fifth. The Skating team has been growing steadily every year, and this season promises to be its best season yet. The next competition will take place at York University in January.

Never in the history of Canada has an agreement so beneficial to this country as the Canada- U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) been subjected to so much distortion. Much of the media, and most of the opposition, have from the very outset featured misconceptions, mis- representations, half truths and downright lies about this agreement.

Before turning to the worst features of this misleading propaganda campaign it is important to outline why the FTA represents such triumph for this country. Central to this triumph is the assurance, which the FTA provides, of much more ready and secure access to the U.S. market. This market accounts for 80% of Canada's gross national product and a roughly commensurate percentage of our total employment.

Anti-Free Trade

By E.A. Sajnovic and Byran C. Leblanc

Free Trade, more than any other issue in recent election history, has dominated the campaigns of the leaders of the three federal parties. Although the Progressive Conservatives stand behind the deal, the Liberals and the New Democrats strongly oppose the deal, in part or in its entirety. Critics of the Free Trade Agreement have been accused by PC supporters of capitalizing on the media's desire to publicize their half-truths.

Canadians will be deciding on November 21st who will govern their country for the next four years, but more importandy, they will be deciding on the future of Canada as an independent nation. The pro-Free Traders have been saying that the deal struck by Mulroney et al. will be great for the country. In fact, according to them, it is necessary for our economic survival. A brief analysis of the deal and its "attributes" may shed some light on the misconceptions generated by the Free Trade Agreement.
