Organking Conference

CampGswide contact sought An On Campus Organizing

Conference is being held Friday August 7 through Sun- day August 9 for the benefit of student societies, Church Col- lege Councils, Village Coun- cils, and councillors of the Federation of Students.

Sponsored by the Fed- eration, the conference is ten- tatively scheduled to be held at the Phillip St. Co-op Res- idence.

“We want the grass roots people,” says Federation Pres- ident Wim Simonis. “That’s where we have to start or- ganizing right now. If we are going to take any campus wide action we have to get these people together.”

So far Simonis has invited about 34 people and hopes to get nearly fifty delegates, to attend by the time he has fin- ished making telephone calls

(as there is a continuing postal strike).

Simonis wants to see the Federation and student soc- ieties act more as a “go- between and a resource cen- tre” for students to go to when they need help in dealing with the university administration.

A special barbeque has beeq planned to coincide with the conference so that delegates can meet with representatives from Administration, various Deans offaculties, members of the Campus Centre Board, and staff from Imdrint and CKMS-FM. New university president Douglas Wright has also been invited.

According to Simonis the Federation has budgeted a maximum of $200 for the whole conference-and is at pre- sent looking for sponsorship from the business world and

has approached the Pres- ident’s office for extra fund- ing. The money could be needed if many delegates, out of town for the summer, arrived at the conference re- quiring accommodation.

Conference workshops are to be led by students from the various on campus groups such as the Math Society, Engineering’society, and the Recreation Students Asso- ciatidn.

Workshop topics include: - What the Federation is

doing and what it can do for you;

- How to get people in- volved;

- Contact between societies, college councils, village councils;

- Major events (especially orientation);

- Running an effective meet- ing;

- Running licensed events; - Communication (getting

media coverage); - Working with Admini-

stration. The conference is to be

‘concluded with a special meeting of the Federation Council to which all delegates are invited to attend.

Special interest groups like the Birth Control Centre, Waterloo Public Interest Re- search Group (WPIRG), and Waterloo Science-Fiction (Watsfic) have not been in- vited since Simonis feels -the conference should be aimed specifically at elected rep: resentatives and not groups that have “started up them- selves.” He hopes that further events can be planned for later in the year that would include these organizations.

Gov’t committee reports

Hydrogen a likely-energy Recent speculation that

hydrogen might become the energy source of the future may be just a lot of hot air, and hydrogen may be better left to the history of ballooning.

“In fifty years Canada’s energy sysiem will be radically different. We foresee a system based on electricity and hydrogen as the major energy carriers or currency, with only minimal and selected use of hydrocarbons as fuels,” states the recently released Lefebvre report.

After almost a full year’s work, having held more than fifty public hearings and visited eight foreign countries, the federal Parliamentary Task Force on Alternative Energy and Oil SubstitutiQn released its findings to the public in mid-May of this year.

The task force, more commonly known as the Lefebvre Committee after its chairman, Liberal MP Thomas Lefebvre, published the results of its investigations in a 263 page report titled Energy Alternatives. *

The report covers potential strategies ranging from the increased use of solar and bio- mass conversion techniques to the development of technologies capable of tapping the energy of tidal power, waves, winds, and geothermal sources.

The report stresses the need for conservation and for ioiai, biomass grid wind energy systems, as well as for other alternative energy sources, to bridge the gap from our present hydrocarbon-based energy system to a hydrogen- based energy system. The Committee maintains, how- ever, that the non-hydrogen alternatives are not capable of meeting the country’s longterm requirements.

As a result of its investi- gation, the Committee concluded that, despite its wealth of energy and resources, Canada is being left behind in the alternative energy field and may soon be confronted with the fiaradox of vast potential, yet a shortage of energy options.

The Lefebvre report recommended that the federal

T source government be prepared to spend up to $1 billion over the next five years to foster the broad development of a hydrogen-based ene,rgy system, and said that the many technical difficulties posed by the large-scale production and transportation of hydrogen can be overcome.

Acknowledging that the task of developing ap- propriate hydrogen tech- nologies will be enormous, the report recommended the establishment of Hydrogen Canada, an agency to oversee the research and development and the commercialization of hydrogen.

According to Energy Probe researcher Norman Rubin, the hydrogen idea expressed in the report is “ wiong-headed, but harmless,” because it is so far in the future.

“I don’t think anybody is going to live that long. Economics i.s against it (a hydrogen-based energy system). It could only happen by slitting the throat of the economy,” he said. “I am confident we will come to our senses before that.” He said he believes othkr renewable sources of energy will be adequate if- used in con- junction with conservation techniques.

The only problem hk foresaw is,that some members of the “hard-energy faction”

will use the hydrogen idea as an excuse to go ahead with building more nuclear generating stations, which the Committee believes will be needed, to provide enough elect$icity to produce hydrogen.

Several major technical limitations stand in the way of developing hydrogen as a major element in Canada’s energy -- picture. Although hydrogen is currently pro- duced in Canada, it is done so on a relatively small scale. Cominco Limited in British Columbia produces 36 tons of hydrogen daily through an electrolysis process, using the hydrogen for making am- monia.

To split hydrogen from water by electrolysis requires a substantial energy input - in the case of Cominco, 90 Megawatts of power per day. For hydrogen production to be based on sucha system, vast amounts of electricity would be required, necessitating the construction of additional generating capacity. The Committee acknowledged that a major expansion of Canada’s nuclear industry would be needed.

Hydrogen is also produced by the steam re-formation or partial oxidizatid-n of hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas. Currently, 99 percent of Canada’s hydrogen

production, which is carried out by the petroleum industry, is generated from hydro- carbons. Since oil and natural gas are non-renewable resources, hydrogen pro- duction based on the use of hydrocarbons is not a long- term solution.

The problem of storage is another impediment to the wide-scale adoption of a hydrogen-based energy system. Like natural gas, . hydrogen can be liquified and stored at very low temper- atures (-250 degrees C). However, the large amount of energy required to cool the gas and the high cost of the required containers make this storage option very un- attractive.

Further, storing hydrogen in pressurized containers is difficult because the hydrogen atom is the smallest of all atoms and will diffuse into the spaces beteen the molecules oi the metal containers, making the containers brittiii’.

The storage method suggested in the report as the most viable is underground storage in depleted oil and gas wells or in caverns.

Transportation of hydro- gen to the marketplace is sometimes done through pipelines, but more often it is moved by truck, rail or barge in pressurized containers. In a future hydrogen-economy, hydrogen would most Iikely be moved in pipelines, a process which will demand a considerable amount of energy. Hydrogen compres- sors along pipelines would need to be three times the size of those currently required for natural gas.

,

As a fuel., hydrogen’s major advantage is it’s clean-burning characteristics; the by- product of the combustion of hydrogen and water. It is for this reason primarily that the Committee regards hydiogen as a preferred longterm option for meeting Canadian energy needs.

W’iIiiIiilfen’ ~go&L but not htqrrifying /

Wolfen! A movie that advertises great horror and suspense. Nobody - escapes the Wolfen, claims the ad. Well, you can escape the Wolfen by- not seeing this movie. To be fair, the movie wasn’t that bad, and I recom- mend you see it when it comes out on TV. But it isn’t worth the $4.25 charged at the theatres.

The movie starts with a newscast of the earth turning ceremony at a construction site. This is where the Wolfen makes its first appearance.

The Wolfen watches the ceremony with its pseudo- colour infrared eyes. The visual effect of viewing the scene through the eyes of the Wolfen is quite good. As the Wolfen moves from hiding spot-to hiding spot, you move along%th it, seeing the world in pseudo-colour.

Right from the beginning of the movie, you are wondering who or what the Wolfen is. It sees in pseudo-colour infra red. It hears a lower fre- quency range than humans (this sound effect is also well done).

The suspense increases when the .Wolfen stalks its prey - a young billionaire and his lovely wife strolling through a New York park, late at night. First, the Wolfen kills the body guard, but not before the guard’s hand is deftly removed when he tries for his gun.

The Wolfen then kills the billionaire and his wife. When the police arrive they find the billionaire’s brain missing and his wife’s head hanging on to her body by a thread. There is blood all over the place. Who, or what, could kill like this? The Wolfen kills extremely

fast and cuts through flesh very cleanly.

About this time the hero of the show arrives. Albert Fin- ney plays a detective who is called in by the police to help

Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt in Endless Love. e

No one euer thinks they can forget their-first love.

Stop and think about that for a second.

Can you remember your first love? It is the emotion of remembering someone-whom you were deeply in love with that the movie plays on.

David is 17 years old and Jade is 15. They are in love. This. is the perfect starting point for a romantic movie, if you enjoy watching two teen- agers cling to each other.

When a 15 year old girl has her boyfriend over for a family dinner, should she be crawling all over him during the entire meal? Jade’s parents didn’t seem to mind. In fact they are so open minded that they ’ joined right in when their kids had a party that very night.

At times Endless L&e rises above its mediocrity and becomes almost respectable (yet it never quite makes it).

At least the actors have talent. In one scene David and Jade are expressing their feelings for each .other,. with the hope that the audience will be swept up in the romanticism. Actually the lines sound so realistic that the audience breaks out laughing.

Apparently the only re- quirement needed to get a part in Endless Love ‘was the

ability to reflect emotions through facial expressions. Why else would over half the movie consist of shots of the characters from the shoulders UP-

In this vein, Brooke Shields’ face is exploited throughout. If there was doubt before, there is none now; Miss Shields is simply gorgeous; for a 16 year old that is. But too much of a good thing becomes boring quickly. One can only take seeing Shields looking dreamy eyed at her co-stars for so long.

credibility. It is possible to actually -start caring for the characters on the screen. This feeling does not last long, though, and soon the feeling arises that the whole ordeal will all be over’soon.

At times the movie is just silly. I heard one person behind me say, “thisis stupid”, and I had to agree with him at that point.

Advertisements for End- less Love lead the public to wonder how it ever got past the Ontario Censor Board (OCB)( After viewing the movie, I wondered why it got a restricted rating. It couldn’t be due to nudity, language or violence, because these phen- omena occur rarely and only for brief moments. This leaves only the subject matter. The OCB banned Shields’ Pretty Baby for this very reason.

In most movies the ending is considered to be one of the strong points. If one could pick the strong point in the plot (what there is of it) of Endless Love it-would have to be the last 20 to 25 minutes. Here the old film techniques of’ sus- pense and the unexpected occur.

It can be assumed that this flick is done with considerably more good taste.

One is desperately trying to figure out how the movie will finally end, when suddenly something happens that re- quires a new ending to the plot.

Some movies will generate discussion afterwards. Con- versely, other movies are so bad they make one want to throw up and forget the incident as soon as possible. Endless Love is only slightly better than this second group of movies.

Initially this change in plot gives Endless Love a bit of

Horror scenes are spread sparingly throughout the movie. There is lots of sus- pense, but most of it passes by uneventfully (though there are exceptions). The morgue scene shows naked bodies and some blood and guts but it all happens very quickly so that you don’t have time to become nauseous. This is a good horror/suspense movie to see if you are a beginner at this type of movie.

Of course! But unfortun- ately that is where the movie ends. The Wolfen is once again at peace with the world, and all go their separate ways. 1

For the past two weeks, I had known of my obligation to attend and comment upon an apparently frivolous little film entitled Arthur.

Thus, I attempted to postpone the engagement in hopes that it mightcauortoffinto thesunset, beforeZmightseteyes upon it. It was not to be. The film was too successful.

So, hiding my predispositions in a relatiuely infrequently accessed part of my mind, I and a dear buddy entered the confines of the spacious and friendly Waterloo Theatre, to partake of tihat camaradarie and humour might worm it’s way out of the celluloid and into our hearts. . .

After an honestly offbeat (ie. quite strange) animated short entitled Special Del- ivery, Arthur began with the sounds of loud, uproarious, infectious laughter that would emanate from Arthur (Dudley Moore) for most of the evening. -

who can still giggle drunkenly at the end.

A chauffered car came to a stop along a New York street near two brilliantly coloured ladies of the night, with whom the back seat passenger, the happy drunken Arthur, en- gaged in a snappy, hum- ourous exchange of baiting and dating. Arthur, ever jocular, acquires one of the young ladies, returns home and falls out of the car, having a simply fabulous time.

Arthur and the lady even? tually retire to the sleeping chambers, ’ in which a large complex of trains (HO scale) is located at the foot of the bed. The trains run long after mid- night.

Arthur, althpugh in hisearly thirties (actually, Moore is probably much beyond that)is a child. Heir to 750 million dollars, he has never had to care for himself and depends greatly upon Hobson (Sir John Gielgud) for the neces- sities of survival. Until he meets and finds love with a shoplifter (Liza Minnelli, also somewhat older than her character), his life is filled with Santa and racing cars.

Arthur begins to find himself with Liza, and the sudden illnessand impending death of Hobson$tirs the mote of re- sponsibility that exists within him. Meanwhile, he must marry another woman to retain his money. The sit- uation is eventaully resolved with major helpings of hap- piness dumped on Arthur,

Liza is pleasant, and lovely as always, an independent character who inexplicably loves our senseless clod for more than his money.

Arthur, with simple plot manages to entertain much of the way, based on Moore’s fun loving ways, with many of the funnier moments resulting from his inebriated state, which occurs with alarming regularity throughout much of the show.

The- movie is escapist fare, of course, but what the hell, so is most of the popular cinema. I Go for a hearty-giggle.

As mentioned previously, Arthur is presently giggling at the prestigious Waterloo Theatre, here in our own adopted fair city.

John Gielgud wields a sur- prisingly acidic tongue in a perhaps larger film role than that which he is accustomed to. His satiric wit contrasts not unfavourably with the straightforward comments of Moore.

That isn’t to say that Tarzan, The Ape Man isn’t a movie worth seeing. Out- standing photograpy and lush scenery make the film a pleasant visual experience. Unfortunately, the film has numerous flaws that seriously affect its quality and render it BORING.

The plot is predictable. Father goes on a safari. Daughter Jane goes along ona sort of co-op learning exper- ience. Jane is molested by Tarzan. Tarzan introduces Jane to the splendours of the natural world. Tarzan and Jane swing off into the sunset.

Miles O’Keefe makes his film debut as Tarzan. There is a mystical, innocent quality to his portrayal of the noble savage. However, his role is extremely limited, leaving the audience to wonder why the film is called Tarzan, and not Jane.

However, if you’re looking for physical presence, Bo has it. Her number 10 body is all over the big screen. Even when dressed, Bo’s clothing is either wet or see through. Rib fetishists will find her per- formance stimulating.

Is,Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone Magazine source? a’logical continuation of the television series of Or is it a rip-off, capitalizing on the name of a the same name, allowing today’s writers of dead cinematic genius to sell the usual mixture suspense, fantasy and horror the opportunity of reviews, fiction (good and bad) and to sell their fiction to a respected literary whatever else its format calls for?

Damned if I know. After four issues, all I ‘can

say bdut the Twiliiht Zone Magazine is that I generally enjoy reading it, although there’ are parts of it which will have to be changed before I can feel able to whole- heartedly endorse it. That might not be a strong enough recommendation to make you go out and plunk down two bucks for the thing, but that’s the best I can do.

I would be happier with the magazine if the re\view section were trashed, or,‘at least, re- worked. Gahan Wilson, whose ‘cartoons I am a great fan of, does not impress me as a capable film reviewer. His knowledge of the media seems severely limiteds.

While Theodore Sturgeon I is eminently qualified to review

Paradoxically, that is not to say the stories are not disap- pointing, for, although they may be of exCellent quality, few of the stories belong to the Twilight Zone. This arises out: of. the fundamerltal dif- ference between writing for television and writing for a magazine.

It was this surprise ending, where the killer was finally destroyed by his own weapon, or the madman’s stories turnedout to be true, that kept viewers coming back week after week.

The other limitation Rod Serling faced was that of money. Although the special effects were always the best available, they were sparingly used. This forced the writers to concentrate on creafjng characters and realistic char- acter conflicts, even in the midst of the unexplained..

‘Mot Wedding’ not funny The zany bunch of Brits (the BBC) that

created Not the Nine O’clock News have reappeared with Not the Royal Wedding.

Maybe they didn’t have enough time bet- been the engagement announcement and the=wedding. Maybe it was too difficult to fill a book with jokes on one limited topic (after all, how many times can you enlarge upon the size of Charles’ ears?) Whatever the reasons, something is definitely lacking from this book - mainly humour.

There-are not many good royalty jokes, nor are there many good wedding jokes. Finding jokes covering both subjects at once doesn’t leave you with ri7uch to go on.

Not the Royal Wedding relies too heavily on puns (mainly in heds) and sight sass - in fact, that’s about all it has. Some are excellent (“A Di in the Loife”) but the majority just don’t quite make it (“A Di Memento is Forever.“) A few of the pictures are recognizable from Not the Nine O’clock News, only with di#erent cap- tions. her car by detectives.

Book points to chemical dangers h food / At present ,, large segments

of our socie P seem to have gotten onto the health kick bandwagon. Their lifestyles have adopted regular exer- cise, mineral water instead of alcohol, and more awareness about the foods they eat.

It is this last item, food, that receives \as comprehensive analysis in the book, The In- visible Additives: Environ- mental Contaminants in Our Food.

The book, written by Linda RI Pim, of the University of Toronto based Pollution Probe, looks into the ad- ditives not listed on the side of the package. These invisible additives are, among -others, the pesticides and antibiotics used in the growing-stages of food, the chemical and metal dumpings of industry into the rivers and elsewhere, and the moulds that canoccur on improperly stored food.

It is the companion book to her other work, published in 1979, called The Additive Alert: A Guide to Food Ad- ditives for the Canadian Consumer. That book looked at the problems as- sociated with food-processing additives.

The Invisible Additives is a concise overview of the direct, and indirect processes and the effects from these that

Everything from the iegul- ations ,governing acceptable levels, and application guide- lines, to the effects on humans and the environment is looked at.Achapterisalsodevotedto alternatives to the widespread use of pesticides, and the pros and cons of these ideas are weighed.

Perhaps the most frighten- iri‘g chapters to read are the ones about organic pollutants and the metal contamination of food. While the horrendous effects of lead and mercury poisoning are most likely known by all, how many ‘6an appreciate the prevalence and effects of say, PCB’s ?r the diokin group of chemicals? --

Increased information, in regards to’ the consequences suffered by Vietnam veterans caught in the spra+ing of the defoliant Agent Orange, has brought the dioxin effects to the public’s awareness., The phasing out of PCB use would’ seem to point to a decrease in the danger associated with it, but as Pim reminds us, these elements bio-concentrate and the effects may surface years after the fact due to their persistent nature.

The book contains a large numbei of tables, both from published and unpublished material; average residue re- ports, tolerance levels, and lists of additive groups, names and toxicity are some of the information given in chart form. The use of tables is one of the best methods for presenting these types of information, as comparison is simple to do.

The nature of The Invis- ible Additives could make the reader a confirmed pes- simist, if it were not for the ’ o’utlines of what is being done about dingerous chemicals, and what could be done to protect the environment and I its inhabitants.

The reader is given some encouragement knowing that with enough consumer aware- ness the problems are not, and need not be as severe as they _ are now. Along this- line Pim offers suggestions at the end of each section as to how one can minimize exposure to the various harmful elements.

The glossary, and the listing of various further sources of information are also included to make this a complete resource book for anyone in- terested or involved in the toxicology field.

He has written satiric and wry, and now he has edited an anthology on a subject that I would not think of as ripe. (But he works for Omni magazine -now. Maybe that hes soJnething to do with it.)

The subject is the End of the World. After the Fall.

Now, that is a depressing thing, no?

But we have here Harry Harrison’s The Day After the End of the World in which all that is left is a large chunk of rock, a frozen sheep and a man and a’ woman. There is also the not-so-little green man who destroyed the world. The essence of sex is revenge.

Roger Zelazny contributes three shorts, nicely done, but not exceptional. He has been turning out a number of these quick shorts recently. I would rather he wrote slightly longer pieces.

Thomas Disch includes a’ short story about Ingman Bergmar (yes, I know what the pame real& is, but let’s play along for a moment, eh) and how he attained inner peace when God spoke to him froin the centre of a canolle.

Now: Larry Niven has said that the sci@nce fiction mystery is the host difficult to write, and it wasn’t. even done until the fifties, when Hal Clement managed to do it.

So it is surprising that a first novel can do a good job.

David Bear has manaded the difficult task of writing a science fiction-detective novel by making sure that the science part is not over- whelming. That isn’t why this is a good book. The good part of Keeping Time is Jack

Hughes, a classic private eye in the hard-boiled mode, working and living in New York in the late 1990’s. A city where penthouses are cheap because you have to walk up the stairs. Super cock- roaches. Widespread apathy.

War - The Music Band - Live - War MCA

Anyone who is looking for an album that catches War at its best, should definitely con- sider getting this one. All their big hits are covered in a

- pseudo-chronological order, with the added ingedient of a, live atmosphere. A must addition to maintain a com- plete record collection.

Terry Bolton

Nine Nine Nine Colpcrete . , Albion Records

Nine Nine Nine is back in style with Concrete, solid, * hard rock with a $iff&ence.

Concrete is an album you can play continuously and never tire of. Guituarist .Guy Day’s riffs are crisp and clear, a perfect compliment to Nick Cash’s stark vocals, and they ring and sting the whole disc through.

‘-

The opening track ‘So ’ ‘Greedy is a mover and dance grabber, definitely one of the best tracks. But Concrete r doesn’t crumble anywhere.

Jon Watson’s bass beefs up Break it Up and Little Red Riding Hood. Remember that . old Sam the Sham ditty? Nine Nine Nine’s rendition is a -; perky, amusing, result com- plete with Cash howling in the woods.

Like the previous Biggest t Prize in Sport, Ni,ne Nine Nine maintains the same hard, ~ rbck driving force, but this album around there’s a little added polish.

Side two’s Silent Anger is a sing-a-long with a bit of rock ‘n ska fdr effect. Percussionist Pa&o Labritains pounding drums in conjunction with Day’s driving lead runs in Don’t You Know I Need You, give Nine Nine Nine fans a taste of first-rate rokk.

Coral Andrews

The group War got their start by being the backup group for Eric Burdon (of the Animals). This combination produced the hit single Spill - The wine. From that date in 1969 until the present day, War has been making it on their own.

Musta Notta Gotta Lotta Joe Ely MCA

A few years ago, War’s Greatest Hits album made the rounds. q

War - The Music I&d -Live is basically are-hash of the earlier album, except that ~ this one is better. Live was recorded in L.A. which is War’s home turf.

, When looking at the cover of Joe Ely’s new album Musta Notta Gotta.Lotta you see a man who looks like he’s in his forties, His face looks a bit like Bob Dylan’s, and his hairstyle is stolen from Robert Gordon.

1 didn’t know what toexpect when 1 played this album; it could have been cowboy songs from Texas!

Luckily 1 was pleasantly surprised. The opening cut, also the title track, just astou-nded me.

The audience loves them, and they have no reason not to. War is a well polished, finely tuned group that lays down a solid beat with an. energy that just won’t quit.

The tempo of the album ,‘stae~ off slow, and picks up

with -each new song. “We gonna party!” yells one of the members of War during the song AII Night Long. And that’s what this album ,illus- trates. War doesn’t just put on - a show, they turn it into one big party.

The closing cut on the album is Why Can’t We Be Friends. The audience is encouraged to cldp and sing along, and they do just that.

It turned out to be your basic get down and do it, hard rot kin’ old time rot k and roll. 1 could not believe it; 1 actually thought it wgs great.

The rest of the album was fairly good but nothing topped that first song. -- -_

Some of the selections on this album were reminiscent of other songs. Dallas sounded a bit like Kansas City. Hold On sounds like Eric Clapton’s guitar playing on After, Mid- night. One song even sounds a bit like Pop goes the Weasel.

Musta No&a Gotta Lotta- then, is aimed at those rock and roll fans with a taste for middle of the road, non- offensive sounds. - ’

Camps Ret cotipetitions end Men’s Basketball

The men’s basketball league regular season came to an end June 19 with playoffs having begun July 6. ’

In the B league, all teams advanced to the playoffs with the top 9 teams entering the championship round and the bottom 9 teams entering the consolation round.

All the preseason favourites were highly ranked with the top four teams being the Limp Noodles, Civies, Power Fac- tor and Fernwood Un(ted. In true Campus Recreation trad- ition, the top ranked teams suffered defeats in play- offs.

Both the number one ranked Limp Noodles and number 2 ranked Civies were knocked*‘out before the cham- pionship game. The final saw third ranked Power Factor playing off against fourth ranked Fernwood United.

The game was a very physical match and the score was close throughout. The superior size of the Power Factor forwards proved too much for Fernwood United making Power Factor the B league champions for Summer 1981.

Eleventh ranked Math ad- vanced to the -final against fourteenth ranked 2B Chem Eng in the consolation round. Again, superior size proved the deciding factor as Math captured the B consolation championship.

Surprise. The Hotshots of the A league had a tough game. After having easy games all

In the ‘B’ final, the champ- ionship went to Power Factor as they narrowly defeated Chamacosi 3 - 2 in a close match which included a score- less extra period.

Led by Phil Jarret and Brian Jackson, the Outlets played their best game of the season, taking the Hotshots into overtime. Key steals with only seconds left’ allowed them to tie the score. Both teams played cautiously in the overtime not wanting to lose on a mistake. A couple of key ovtside shots by Hotshot guards, gave them victory in the end to make them the Summer 198 1 A league cham- pions.
