What is a :

We, the edirar and writers here a t Heliograph have Ivorked hard ill {he past JmOlllhs to bring you back onto campusin style; well informed o f what has takenplace while you were gone, and what toprepare yourself/o r in the new semester.The Heliograph took on a formatchange from the regular Demi- Tab to(he Tabloid so that this publicalioncould make it OUi to you in lime.

s you can see by the cover (or did youeven notice) the Heliograph is still aliveand kicking, but it has a new flavour.The Heliograph, "Dedicated to PromoteParticipation and Comradery" in theEngineering events, is a means of communicating to the Waterloo Campusthat there is more to us than the 3 categorized stereotypes listed in The Moldingof the Male Engineer". (For those whodon't know the 3 categories, ask MikeUrlocker).

Nter a very tough tenn of continuousbeating from various University Faculties and the Iron Warrior. there grew aneed to restore the bruised reputation ofWaterloo's finest: The Engineer. On theexterior, some of us come-off as rathercrude and unsophisticated (just ask University of Western Ontari o or Queen's),

?but deep down inside there is a certainartistic quality in all of us.

The Heliograph is an open forumpublication for any student to expresstheir creativity. Be it a poem, short story ,an informative article, or a stab at oursociological make-up, the Heliograph ishere to provide that outlet - a means ofexpression.

But not only for expression, theHelio

graph will provide updated reports on allEng Soc "B" goings on. To participate insome of the Eng Soc events can helpbring about that needed break from thepounding of continuous studying; andthere is something for alL

Here is your chance to show Waterloothat our welJ disciplined minds can beused in all facets o f social behaviour. Godraw a comic, write a poem or a hateetter to me I can take it), and if writing

dance floor area provides an excellentva ntage point for checking out those ofthe opposite sex.

In order to remain within the budget ,four main building changes had to takeplace; only one of which will affect theaverage student. Firstly, the connectionto the U of W tunnel system has beendeleted, but the most contentious of thefour changes is the reduction ofthe size ,and the function of the kitchen. As originally conceived, the building was to beable to support banquets, but now theground floor space must be used tohouse the electrical and mechanicalequipment which was to be in the basement. Banquets will still be possible inFe d Hall II but they ll have to be

o You Want to Write an rticle

irst off. you have to know what youwant to write about. Is there somethingthat you're pissed off at? (Co-ordinationhas 'misplaced' your work report again.)Is there something you're knowledgeable111 that others would want to knowabout? Like making rye with a $ 15 barreland three gallons of water, without therisk of going blind. How about a tale ofgripping drama and wanton sex ? YOU

~ l d write about the cute blonde YOlJpicked up at the pub Thur day night.who turncq out to have a thing for spursand branding irons. In any event. vallcan't start writing until you've s e e t ~ dasubject; that would be like getting abunch of people together for a game of

baseball, and no-one has a ball.Any lobotomized Arts student canIl rile an article - the tric i ' makin iintere ting so that the reader doesn't giveup after the second sentence. Nothing ismore frustrating than reading somethingthat lurches around in circles, continually stopping and starting off in a newdirection. It gets you wondering if theauthor knew what he was writingabout.or if he was just making it up as he wentalong.

Therefore, your next step should be todraw up a game plan a list of thepoints you want to cover, in order. Tossin an introductory paragraph or two, a{losing statement. and you're laughing.You'd be suprised how may people startwriting with an idea in mind, but noclear sense of direction. Before they'rehalfway through the first page they'vebecome bogged down in the confusion,and either givc up or settle for a lukewarm piece of prose no-one but theirmothers will read.

Okay, so now that you've got a subjectand you've developed a .game plan it'time to fill in the blanks. Go nuts. StartWriting, following your game plan. and

Lock your elf in the washroom,put on the hcadphones and crank thetunes-, kick your girlfriend out of theapartment: do what you have to so thatyou can concentrate on your writing.And then, when you're done, grab a becrand put everything away for a while. Allthat's left now is revision, and you cantake your time at this.

Revising your article means worryingabout grammar, spelling, punctuation,synonyms, and all those nasty wordsfrom Grade 1 English. This doesn't

Revising your article will most likely

take far longer than writing it did, anddon't be surpirised if the finished product bears no resemblance to the original. This is the hardest part of writing;you've got to take what you' e writtenthe raw material. reshape it to fit yourgame plan, and smooth and polish allthe rough edges.

W h y do engineering students take labcourses?

There are valid reasons for theseJabs, but are these reasons appropriateto the average student's education? Ormore importantly, is it not possible topropose a new more useful and rewarding system that would attain the desiredgoals?

Engineers have such a heavy lab content pri marily to satisfy the requirementsof the Canadian Accreditation Board(CAB). From my own experience thereare basically three reasons for labs '. Toteach analytical laboratory techniques,

as a training ground for professionalresearchers, and to demonstrate theoretical principles.

The knowledge of these analyticaltechniques are important in the Co-op

PREZ SPEWSsytem as many tudent may have labtechnician jobs. BUT, no matter howhard the faculty trie to keep UP'" ith thelatest in equipment, only rarely will anindividual use the same piece of equipment or techniques on the job as I heused at school. Rega rd les of whether weuse the techniques or not. few of us willrequire t h e ~ eskills in the big work termin the sky, except for the profe ionalresearchers.

As for the professional researchers , Ifeel that it is unfair and self-serving ofuniversities to be using a disproportionate amount of lab training when compared to the types of obs we are going tohave upon graduation. We hear aboutthe need for cooperation between acade

mia and businesses and the start is bytraining professionals in a manner that ismore appropriate to the real world.

The last reason for labs is to visuallydemonstrate the theoretical principles

that are taught in the cia room . A noblecause. but at what co t? We are continu

ally hearing about the deterioration inthe tate of lab equipment and the resulting cry for more funds for replacement(a la QE M F). But, the technology is heretoda that would perform the e demonstration more effecti ely while minimizing the ca h drain that labs have had onthe facultie coffers.

Labs have been a tradition of the engineering education for year and rightlyso. But, now the time are changing andwe are in the midst of a new technological re olution. Accordingly, it i Limethat labs receive their just place in theeducational system and no more. Thesetechnological advances may be used toimprove our education if the resources(space, time and money) are reallocated.

The reallocation hould be towardsthe tool of today's Engineer - THE

I guess this started three months agowhen Chris, being the very persuasiveperson that she is, convinced me to write

a monthly article on the pubs and restaurants around Kitchen er-Waterloo. Itseemed like a harmless idea at the timeand she was picking up the check forlunch so I wasn't about to make a fuss.She's a very determined woman, so justto be on the safe side, she wrote me acouple of letters from Germany, whereshe spent her workterm, to male sure Iwrote this article.

Well, I just spoke to her today , (theday she told me to have the articles readyby) and I knew there was going to bemassive trouble. She started off by telling me how cold the people were in Germany, she had a terrible flight, and shejust had a very painful ordeal at thedentist. Then came the cruncher. "Whereare the *&%$#$% * % articles". Ithought she would yell and scream, butshe didn't. She just made me feel like aslime and said she had no respect for meas a human being . I guess I deserved it.I'm sorry Chris.

The real irony is that I have to writethe articles anyway

So much for the history of the article.may as well tell you what LOADED

STATE" is all about.

LOADED STATE will deal with twopubs and one restaurant in the K-W area

each month. This willenable you to discover new places and will give you anidea of what to expect before you getthere. I'll try to describe each place asbest I can and let you decide for yourself.

The Mandarin Duck(downstairs)Locateel on the southwest corner qKing and Weher North.

I discovered this place kind of by accident. Dinner ended a little earlier thanexpected upstairs (we can talk about thisin the next issue). Being a terrible night

out, we decided to follow our ears to themusic playing downstairs. With the typeof clientele in the restaurant, I wasexpecting the geriatric crowd in polyester suits downstairs. I was wrong

The first thing I noticed was a liveband. I quickly turned around to makesure there wasn't a large irate bouncerabout to tear my head off for not payinga cover, but there wasn't one . In fact,there was no bouncer in the whole place.I don't know, maybe this isn't surprisingto most people, but beingacity boy fromT.O. even your local high school dancehad a cover, and 14 MetropolitanToronto police officers armed with clubsstanding by.

The next thing that popped into mymind was that this must be the owner'sson's band, who had been turned downfor the gig at their first cousin's barmitzvah. You guessed it. Wrong again Thisband was good.

LOADED STATEThis establishment seems to concen

trate on a musical mixture of new waveand Rock 'n Roll. There's an adequately

sized dance floor in front of the stage,which suits this somewhat small pubquite well.

There is r, ;) r l , \ ~ ror dress code. Mostpeople are dressed In their universitypreppy outfits or just jeans, but I'm notsure if the crowd is. mostly universitystudents. There seems to be a fairnumber of high school kids in here too.(Thj may come in handy for you frosh,so o n tforget to wear you U of W:jacket.)

The place really starts to party atabout 10:00 p.m., but I would advise thatyou get there at about eight or you won'tget a seat. Also, it's best to go with asmall group or ju t a date. This pub isjust for dancing. Talking is difficult whenthe band is playing. The atmosphere isdim and close, so it's a good place tomeet people by dancing. From what Ican recall, the drinks are average inpnce.

All in all, I feel this is a great place togo with a friend after dinner for somefast paced dancing. A real change fromthe two thousand pubs in Toronto thatonly play top 4 on Friday and Saturdaynights.

The Bomb Shelteru vr W Campus Cel11er

M y mother always told me if you can'tsay anything good about somethi ng,then don't say anything at all. So thisone's going to be real shor t folks

Let me see. If I really concentrate,maybe I can think of something positiveto say about this place.

The drinks are cheap. Va That's it.The drinks are cheap (Of course they'reeven cheaper at the beer and liquorstores and the decor is much nicer.)

It is a convenient place to go for adrink before, during, and after classes.It's supposed to be nice outside in thesummer on the new patio. (But so isMcGinnis Landing and the Gradhouse.)

This pub's a good place to go with agroup of 5 or more of your best drinking buddies , preferably drunk beforeyou get there.

I won't get into all the negative pointsbecause we all know them and I promised I would keep this short.

In summary, thank god they're building us another pub.

O.K. Let's move on to the restaurant.

tomec Power

Destroys Civilians

Cap't Zilon

Last term, the 3 B Civil class used thefirst issue of Heliograph to describe howtheir classes captured the EngineeringP**5 race the previous term. It gives megreat pleasure to continue this tradition.and tell you how 38 Mech Eng, betterknown as Atomech Power, were able todethrone the Civilians last fall.

Unlike the Civilians, previously theepitome of apathy, Atomech Powerwere continually a close second or thirdin the P**5 race, but the title alwaysseemed to elude the class. The explan ation for the semi-success, was a hardcoreof students who appeared to be involvedin virtually all sporting and engineeringevents. The majority of these studentswere repeaters who continued to overlook the notion that university is a placeof learning.

The class was lead by two class reps.who made the perfect couple. One was asupposed jock. while the other was an

admitted transvestite . Both were spiritedleaders but failed to draw more than theaverage, usually 20% of the class. toparticipate .

Last term, for some reason unknownto mankind , this odd couple was electedto the Engineer ing Society's elected executive. Thus, the class rep positions wereleft open. Following the precedent setby other classes, four people wereappointed as class reps to /landle thevarious chores. These characters were asdifferent as only a fiction writer could

class members participate in the onlytunt of the term, a illustrated by the

photograph appearing in the Kitchener -Waterloo Record t should be mentioned that the students involved in the4:00 a .m. uur de fon e were up at thetime, collaborating on numerous as ignments and labs.

The point to be made is. it doesn'trequire a small number of people to participate in all of the activities, but r athera few more people to participate in moreof the activities, to win the P**5 race. I

It s going to be a busy ummer, so don tbecome one of the suitcase crowd . Stickaround, check out the events, and havesome fun

The big change in the EngineeringSociety this term is the cross-campusnature of our publicat ions and events.The Heliograph and Iron Warrior willbe distributed across campus so that everyone is aware of and can participate inengineering events. Hopefully t i~ willhelp to thaw engineering / campus relations.

The list of activities for this term begins with th e Welcome Back Pub tomorrow night at the Waterloo Inn. BluePeter s the main attraction, and L Etranger, is opening. The new and improvedWelcome Back Stagg has been pushedback a week to Wednesday, May9 at theCoronet (buses will be leaving from theE I cul-de-sac after a pre -stagg warm-upin the POETS Pub from 2 to 6 p.m.). OnThursday, May O we ll be kicking offEngineering Weekend with a Lumberjack Da y which should prove interesting . After the Pinto Packing there maybe a demolition event for charity . Thebig eve nt Friday is the Frogman Triathalon with a trio of normal field eventswith a new twist - scuba flippers. Friday also features a challenge .to the cam-

more accurately than our all-star engineering team . And on Saturday , back bypopular demand, is the infamous Chariot Race . So be forewarned and startmaking your buggies now (check in th eOrifice for rule s and design restrictions).

If you re not heading up to SaubleBeach on the long weekend, check outthe Double Feature Woody Allen Festival running from Friday to Mondaynight (with movies like Sleeper) .

On Friday, May 25, Fleet Commander Gamble will initiate the newOfficial Boat Racing Table , completewith electronic timing and sensors. Thisfirst Nautical of the summer is open toteams from across the campus, so headdown to the Orifice and sign up. Exactdetails of times and place (somewhere inSunnydale ) will be announced .

Some of the possibilities for the rest ofthe term include a pub rally June 2,movies during the July I weekend, andpicnic/bluegra ss festival somewhere in afarmer s field, plus the usual s ~ o r t m e n tof athletic events and pubs.

Engineering Week is being resurrectedon July 5 with a pub, and will wind upon July 14 with the South Pacificpseudo-formal. The road trip of thesummer occurs when the Argos play theEdmonton Eskimos July 22 at Exhibition Stadium. We have 500 seats at midfield reserved (price should be around$17 including return bus trip) so comeout and watch the Grey Cup championsromp all over the Esks.

Details on these events and manymore will be in upcoming issues of theHeliograph (May 29 and July 3) as wellas in the Orifice. So come out, take abreak, and have some fun.
