A recent ipcrease in the Ontario minimum hourly wage doesn’t jus- tify raising the expected student contributions for student aid funds, student and university officials said Monday.

Chris Harries, Ontario Federa- tion of Students (OFS) spokesman, and Don Kasta, UW student awards officer, were both counter- ing a statement made by the minis- ter of colleges and universities, James Auld, last Thursday in the legislature regarding the need for upping the expected student con- tributions of the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) since the minimum hourly wage in- creased.

Auld said although students are having greater difficulty finding summer jobs this year, increases in the *expected contributions from students to OSAP will go ahead as scheduled.

The government plan provides loans of up to $1,800 over a normal academic year. Part of the assis- tance is repayable beginning - six months after the student graduates or drops out. The remaining por- tion is a grant.

The grant portion has been de; creased in recent years and will be further reduced for some students in the next academic year.

Direct financial assistance for the next academic year will amount to $46.55 million, an increase of about 18 percent over the previous academic year.

In an interview, Harries said OFS believes that the whole con- cept of expected student contribu- tions is “retrogressive” and in- stead of tightening policies, the government should be “phasing them out.”

He also noted that the raise in the minimum wage rate was “long overdue” and that “-anyhow the in- crease has already been eaten away by inflation. ’ ’ Moreover, the high unemployment in the labor market

Prof beats student

will severely curtail expected stu- dent contributions to OSAP as many students can’t find work for the whole summer; Harries added.

‘Citing OSAP changes in ex- pected student contributions, Har- ries pointed out that the high school graduate intending to enter univer- sity and in need of aid will have to save $340 over eight weeks (16 weeks for those already in univer- sity) for his/her expected contribu- tions, which works out to $43 per week.

ask Auld to justify them. To which Auld told the legislature: “Well, for one thing. .

The increases in the expected

.because of the in- crease in the minimum wage.”

student contributions caused NDP education critic Floyd Laughren to i loses bi

The minimum wage rose to $2.40 hourly from $2.25 on May 1.

Summerjob listings are down be- tween 30 and 35 percent at the Uni- versity of Toronto placement center, Laughren said.

He suggested that Auld provide supplementary grants to students unable to find summer jobs.

Andrew Telegdi, Federation president for the past two years, lost out in a bid to contest the up- coming provincial election for the’ N.D.P. in Waterloo North at the local association’s nominating convention on ‘Tuesday, May 27.

, Jack Kersell, a long time member of the local association as well as a * political science prof at the Univer- sity of Waterloo, won handily with 115 votes to Telegdi’s 54.

Moreover, a memo had been sent out by Jo Surich to members of the local association urging them to vote for Kersell. The stationary on which the memo was typed was = from the provincial office on Church Street in Toronto where Surich was working as chairman for the party’s provincial cam- paign. According to some of Telegdi’s supporters, the memo implied the support of the provin- cial executive for Kersell and thus reeked of “political impropriety. ”

“If the student is earning the minimum wage (around $100 per week), the whole contribution sys- tem becomes quite ludicrous ,” Harries said.

Furthermore, the student’s situ- ation worsens if he/she can’t find full time work for the summer as OSAP policy assumes the person will have a job. “This assumption is particularly unjustifiable as com- petlfion for jobs between students and workers has increased this

“I can’t undertake at this mo- ment in time to say that additional funds will be allocated,” Auld re- plied.

A closer vote was expected. Telegdi, who for weeks had been energetically enlisting support, faced a situation where only half of his anticipated supporters ap- peared.

Student cixmd: year, ’ ’ Harries stated.

The expected student contribu- tion increases by ‘$100 per’ academic year which leaves a third-year student with having to save $888 over summer, Harries said.

“What’s needed is a realistic ap- praisal of whether a student has worked or not during the summer to determine aid requirements.”

OFS has called upon the gov- ernment to abolish tuition fees and provide living stipends for students so that they won’t have to subsist at welfare levels, Harries stated.

When contacted about Auld’s statement, Kasta said “sure the minimum wage has gone up but so has the cost-of-living which makes it harder for students to save. ” The hardest hit will be those who don’t live at home which makes them un- able to save the amounts suggested in the OSAP expected student con- tributions policy.

ncit ,all there Federation of student council-

lors have now witnessed their shor- test council meeting ever. Last Sunday’s ‘non-meeting’ was brought to order and then quickly adjourned by speaker Phil Reilly due to the lack of quorum.

h President John Shortall was visi- bly upset by the absence of almost twenty student councillors. Even more upsetting was the non- appearance of several federation executive emmbers.

The non-appearance of student councillors is causing quite a back- log of programmes and expendi- tures needing the approval of coun-

. cil. Most important to Shortall is the

tidy sum of $4,000 to be sent to the National Union of Students (NUS). The executive has endorsed the expenditure but the funds could be

held up indefinitely -until council meets. The funds will give the or- ganization a badly needed “shot in the arm”.

In a situation where no quorum can be found in council, expendi- tures can be approved by the federation’s board of directors, a group of councillors chosen “out of a hat” at the federation’s annual meeting.

Vice-president Alan Kessel dis- agrees with this method of decision-making because it is un- democratic. Shortall has suggested that the decision be made by a mail-out ballot sent to all student councillors .

Federation council has not <met for more than a month and fede’ra- tion officials hope a meeting can be organized by the middle of June.

In his-letter Surch wrote: “I be- lieve that a candidate for this party has to be deeply rooted in our community and that he has to ap- peal to a broad cross-section of the i . party and of the population’. Our riding is made up of people of many diverse interests and concerns, and our candidate has to be able to speak to many of them.”

Telegdi felt that the tenor of Surich’s statement implied that stu- dents could not be credible candi- dates, supposedly due to the iso- lation of the university from the larger community. Telegdi, in his speech, stressed his work experi- ences and his involvement as fed- eration head with community is- sues such as day-care, municipal elections and student involvement in union-boycotted work places. Later he referred to the ‘domi- nance’ of academics in the local constituency association and ques- tioned whether their isolation from r the broader community was any less than his supposedly was.

Kersell, a specialist in public administration and formerly an ad- visor to the Saskatchewan gov- ernment, stressed the need for a decentralization of power and spec- ifically referred to the inability of the people to choose a regional chairman. _.

’ Staff ‘association cguld collapse -

Two officials in the Staff Associ- dent, warned the gathering “no ation, a present director of the or- ganization and a former association president suggested the best thing the organization could do now would be to fold.

At its annual meeting last Tu.es- day the organization failed to get the quorum necessary to elect next year’s directors.

Quorum for the organization is ’ only ten percent of its 750 person membership. However, only 63 members, 12 short of a quorum at- tended last Tuesday’s meeting.

Mike Rowe, association presi-

quorum, no election of officers. No officers ,. then no ‘association”.

The association must now call a meeting no sooner than seven days and no longer than 14 days-after Tuesday night. 1

At this emergency meeting the association’s constitution states that the organization can elect next year’s officers with or without quorum.

Rowe promised to send out some kind of flyer announcing this meet- ing. When asked why he thought they couldn’t gain quorum at last

OCUA brief ’

Fee hike dropped Negotiations between students

and administrators during the week resulted in some “reworking” of UW’s brief to the Ontario Council

*of University Affairs (OCUA) re- garding tuition fees, Federation of Students president John Sliortall said Wednesday.

The brief was criticized last Tuesday in senate by Shortall for suggesting a selective increase in tuition fees to be levied by the university’s board of governors to offset rising costs. \

Shortall told senators that the brief was “hastily done” and made recommendations that are going to affect educational prospects of stu- dents from low-income families.

“Tuition fees are a big factor in determining accessibility to uni- versities,” Shortall said. “Stu- dents from low-income groups pre- sently aren’t entering post- secondary education due to the high costs.”

Shortall said “the university is-- displaying .a lack of concern for the concept of accessibility by ad- vocating an increase in fees.

“This (fee increase) would further aggravate the unequal op-

tence of co-operative programmes results in a saving to the province in terms of OSAP. Because students in the co-operative programmes are involved in twice as many summerlwork terms as regular stu- dents, owing to the alternative study/work nature of the prog- ramme, they are much less depen- dent on the financial assistance av- ailable through OSAP. In fact, they are eligible to receive significantly smaller amounts of OSAP. This re- duced amount, which represents a saving of approximately $1,700 per student over the period required to obtaiqan undergraduate degree, is all in the provincial grant portion, as opposed to the federal loan com- ponent, of OSAP.”

The brief, to be presented to OCUA June 13, outlines a number of planning issues to be faced by UW in the coming years and offers a somber financial picture for 1976-77 if government funding con- tinues to fall behind inflation. OCUA is a buffer committee set up by the. Ontario government to mediate between the university system and the province.

“It is about time to end the popu- lar and generally accepted myth that all men and women are born with equal talents, that our prob- lems can be solved merely by try- ing to equalize everybody, by re- warding the mediocre, and by penalizing the entrepreneurs, the thrifty, and the more conscienti- ous members of society.” (Excerpt from the speech made by Dr. Harry Warren after re- ceiving an honorary degree from UW at last week’s convoca- tion .)

Tuesday’s meeting he said: “It’s probably hockey”.

The association then opened the floor for a discussion of the 75 per- cent per month increase in the staff association’s dues.

The executive is asking for the increase, the first in the six year history of the organization, be- cause “we are now putting out more funds, than we can afford”. A straw vote clearly showed the op- position to the dues increase to be a minority of members.

The increased dues will also cover the expense of hiring a full- time secretary to organize associa- tion day-to-day business. The proposal to hire a secretary came under much attack from the floor.

Several felt the executive should try to make do with a part-time sec- retary. Others suggested the sec- retary should come in for halfdays and then “we could keep the fee increase down to a quarter”. One member felt they should not hire a secretary, asking: “Why not spread the work around?”

The executive firmly replied that some individuals in the executive were carrying an unreasonable work load and the secretarial help was vital.

The meeting then moved on to discuss the association brief which will be presented to the Ontario provincial cabinet next month.

The report charged James Auld, minister of colleges and univer- sities with “misleading the public for his own party’s political gain.” The report further complained of Auld’s not serving his portfolio, the universities, but instead trying to degrade them.

Rowe closed the meeting by ex- pressing his agreement with uni- versity president Burt Matthew’s statement that all the university has tried to build in the way of public services could quickly be degraded if the government continues to de- crease its financing.

Student housing by-law proposed (

A by-law to set minimum stan- dards in boarding houses will be presented to Waterloo City Council by the Federation of Students.

The by-law drafted by federation housing co-ordinator Sandy McDonald calls for detailed stan- dards such as the continual upkeep of rental accommodation to be en- forced by Waterloo’s building in- spector and medical officer. A simi- lar by-law, intended to reduce sub- standard housing, has already been passed by Kitchener City Council. 1

In a letter to Waterloo mayor Herb Epp, the federation notes that the city’s “town and gown” com- mittee was established “to assist students in locating accommoda- tions and inspecting these resi- dences to determine if they meet the minimum requirements for health, safety and fire standards.” So given the reluctance on the part of owners of substandard accom- modations to meet certain criteria,

the federation calls upon Waterloo to do something, the letter states.

In addition, the letter points out a university student is generally on fixed income “often depending on government monies to further his education and is forced to accept sub-standard housing and in- creased rental rates twithout gov- ernment protection against such action.”

McDonald said council will ex- ’ amine the proposed by-law some- time in June and cited alderman Mary-Jane Mewhinney as being in favour of it. She also noted that the by-law will not provide for mainte- . nance in residential accommoda- tion, only in boarding houses.

“There will probably be some representation in council against the proposed by-law from land- lords who presently offer substan- dard housing,” McDonald said. But the chances are good that the by-law will pass, she added.

PCDN on the air A--news programme which will

give a working class interpretation of current events has been launched on CKWR (Wired World 98.7 FM).

The programme, People’s Canada Daily News (PCDN) has been organized by the -Anti- Imperialist Alliance of Kit- chener-Waterloo, and material will be taken from People’s Canada Daily News/On the Line-a na- tional daily working class news- paper in Canada.

Nina Tymoszewicz, who will be hosting with Jenn George, said that the programme will deal with both national and international news.

The half-hour programme will also include international working class music, interviews, regular features on China and Albania and poetry readings from Alive Magazine.

‘Tymoszewicz said: “The em- phasis of the national news will be on the increasing attempts of the government in cooperation with the monopoly capitalist class to shift the burden of the economic crisis onto the backs of students, workers, immigrants’ and the Canadian people generally. ”

Some examples are the cutbacks

in educational and health and social service spending, and the government’s Green Paper on im- migration policy which attempts to blame certain sections of the im- migrant population economic crisis.

for the

The growing militancy of work- ers as reflected in increasing strikes will be another national theme co- vered. _ A third area, she said, would -- centre around important questions of Canadian political economy.

PCDN On the Air will also report on native people’s struggles for . land, hereditary rights and national sovereignty. “It appears there wjll be an intensification of these strug- gles over the summer.”

The international coverage will report on national liberation strug- gles, and on the imperialist ac- tivities of the two superpowers, the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union.

PCDN On the Air “has, been given high priority” he said, “be- cause of its carefully produced material. ’ ’ Crapo expects the prog- ramme, which will be aired every Thursday night from 9:30 to 1O:OO to have an audience of between . ‘500-1000.

*He’s a .

gangster Luscious Susan Blakely smiled

at her two girlfriends and said, “Meet my boyfriend, Al Capone. He’s a gangster.” ~ *

That statement just about sums up the entire contentof the latest gangster opus Al Capone now play- ing at the Lyric theatre in down- town Kitchener.

Underworld crime, especially in Chicago, has long been a favorite topic for Hollywood “cop and rob- ber” movie directors. Unfortu- nately since Edward G. Robinspn and Jimmy Cagney left the screen in the 1940’s this topic has been tinkered with by men of lesser tal- ents. Most productions have turned out to be tired reproduc$ons of the originals.

Only four movies’ since the 1940’s have adequately protrayed the underworld. John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle, Billy Wilder’s Some Like It-Hot and recently both Godfathers are deservedly cop and robber classics.

This brings us to the current at- tempt at cop and robber fum mak- ing, Capone. Despite the movie’s fastpaced action (bang, bang, bang) and the infrequent appearance of a large breast (“Al don’t; oh but I love it”), this ffirn is thoroughly dull. Capone gets off to a decent start as it shows how Capone got the infamous scar on his face from a beating by New York city police. At this point the one credible per- formance is put in by John Cassa- vetes as Jim Dale, the gentile mobs- ter who introduces Capone to the underworld in the early part of the film.

in a gun fight between Capone and three of his ‘associates’. Now where have we seen this turn of events before?

Finally Capone is arrested on tax evasion charges and is sent to prison. During the final scenes we see Capone suffering from syphilis and the deterioration of the brain. After his release from prison he is shown with a fishing pole trying to catch fish in an outdoor swimming pool. According to Gazzara’s act- ing, one would never know he was senile. The’ only hint of his condi- tion is given by his use ofthe fishing pole.

Capone as portrayed by Ben Gazzara, a thoroughly ordinary, unexciting actor is contrasted with Dale.

The film presents Capone as a swearing violent slob of a man. Meanwhile Dale, a clean cut busi- ness executive-type who owns a string of whore houses tries in vain to contain Capone’s thirst for mur- der.

Well, the movie made this point within the first fifteen minutes of the film and spends the remaining seventy-five minutes to prove just how violent Capone was.

Two major faults can be found with this movie’s attempt at realis- tic drama. First, the acting is at- rocious. I’ve already berated Gaz- zara enough. Capone’s second in command gives in a performance comparable to the soggy towels hanging in Capone’s bathroom.

Graffiti r Physical records

The sequences literally leap from one gun fight to another (bang, bang, bang). All the gun fights are begun by an order from the top and Capone loves to scream the orders. (Now is the only time Gazzara makes in attempt to act when he is dropping the ‘Jack Webb’ grimace he wears in almost every scene).

LED ZEPPELIN J

PHYSICAL GRAFFITI

The movie thunders along with gun fire until the final few scenes when Capone receives his nemesis as Susan Blakely, his love, is shot

Led Zeppelin has put out, one album consistently. a year sinc.e they began their career. Physical Graffiti is only slightly behind, schedule, and is the band’s first two-record set. It gives us what we have come to expect from Led Zeppelin; that being consistently powerful rock ‘n’ roll and a reason- able amount of innovation on the band’s new music. The album set is excellent for both dancing and lis- of work by a band that has t-ruely tening to, though I’m not sure become “a legend in their own whether it sounds different enough, time.” f

To compare Physical Graffltti with past albums it is musically most similar to the last album, Houses of The Holy, than any of the band’s previous records. I should again point out my concern that these styles give few surprises, the

Susan Blakely attempts to do something with her role as Capone’s lover. However she fails. Capone’s script’ writer Howard Brown is the culprit.! Most of her scenes consist of her being chased around the bedroom furniture by guess who (bang, bang, bang). I know that Susan Blakely has lovely large breasts, but couldn’t the script have told us a bit more about her tormented life with the killer?

Perhaps the greatest .blame for this thoroughly dissatisfying fdm should be laid on its scriptwriter. Any writer who believes they can captivate an audience with murders and shootouts for more than an hour must have creative talents comparable to Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson. They both have the same gut feeling for violence. Sorrv. I don’t. .

In looking through your May 23rd edi- tion I was quite pleased to see the adver- tisement on the back page (the RCMP ad). It’s about time “our finest” were given the recognition they deserve. There is, indeed, more unrest occurring in the country. Too

;

much money is being spent on namby- pamby help-them-out campaigns.

All those bums on welfare, those money grubbing students sponging off the gov- ernment, those pinch-penny foreigners wrecking the economy, those women lib- bers and gay libbers corrupting our chil-

,$ dren with pornographic smut. What is this _ country comingto?

There is only one way to deal with this

Led Zeppelin - by Jimmy Page. The first side concludes with “In My Time Of Dying” a piece which fluctuates between a slow moving vocal ballad and a hard driving rock’n’roll song. The other three sides reveal pretty much the same at first; however there are a few songs that stand out. A piece titled “Kashmir” turns out to be as exotic as its name sounds, while ‘ ‘Bron-yr-aur” gives us a beautiful .acoustic guitar ballad by Jimmy Page. “Down by The Seaside” is a piece which might just as easily be the Rol- ling Stones performing; it sounds that simi- lar. Led Zeppelin has included a couple of disco tunes on this set. One of these, “Trampled Under Foot”, is the single that was released from this album. They don’t do poorly with this style of music, however I think it best that Led Zeppelin leave it for bands who work more full time on this style. of music. Perhaps the best songs on the album, and the most recognizably Led Zeppelin, are the first two on the fourth side: “Night Flight and The Wanton Song.” They give us consistently powerful rock’n’roll along with excellence in vocals that we have come to expect from Robert Plant. Of tery special note is “Ten Years Gone”, a fine piece that is built around Page’s guitar overdubs. At some points as many as eight guitars are employed. Like a couple of other songs on this album this one has been in the making for several years now, and the work shows.

Jimmy Page either writes or else contri- butes to the writing of every song on the album. As has always been he and Robert Plant are the major writing figures, with John Paul Jones and John Bonham step- ping in whenever they have their special sounds to offer. Page also produces th.e album, as he has done since Led Zeppelin began.

As for personnel: Jimmy Page is as strong as ever on both electric and acoustic guitars. As was stated above Jimmy gives us some really beautiful overdubs; along with’the complexity, speed, precision, and strength that we have come to expect from him. His writing is better on those songs which have been in the m.aking over a few years than on those written recently. Gen-, erally though the music is pretty good.

Robert Plant’s vocals are as timeless, unchanging, and uniquely distinctive ‘as

what is our just dessert! When this country asks for our help,

shouldn’t we obey unquestioningly? After all, have they ever lied to us before? P.S.-I’d really like to get a piece of the action but you seem to have forgotten to include the address to where.1 can go ! Have you any suggestions?

The issue’s on you so vote! -

I have been watching life at this univer- x , sity for several months now, and I have noticed some of the qualities of this place.

Notjust the bad ones, but all of them (we should have all noticed them by now) andli

monster on the loose. We must show our neighbouring countries the path to right- eousness and goodness and foresake the loose wickedness which threatens to engulf us all. We must sally forth, ever onward; shaking off the shackles which keep us from our preordained destinies.

It is only through fighting for our rights, through busting skulls, through breaking bones and kicking balls that we can get

ever. He continues to use the same range that he always has, with as much feeling, emotion and excitement as always. Plant gives us a bit of his excellent harp playing on Physical Graffltti and that is certainly a nice return to some of the best Zeppelin sounds. Plant also co-writes all but one song on the album, a record that he can boast for all six of Led Zeppelin’s albums.

John Bonham’s drumming on this album is just consistently solid, with no percus- sion revelations. His sound is most similar to the echoing drum sound which domi- nated “Houses Of The Holy”, that being similar to sealing the drums in a large empty room and echoing the sound all

’ around the walls. His playing dominates ’ few pieces, but it always provides a good ‘“base-beat for the rest of the band to work

with. \ Lastly, John Paul Jones, the man who

plays bass, synthesized bass, piano, organ, melletron, synthesizers , backing vocals, and various other devices that are neces- sary to create some of the less conventional sounds, generally takes a back seat in the ’ music. That is, his presence is rarely felt to be as strong and dominant as say Page or Plant, yet his contribution to the overall sound of the music is substantial. It is Jones’ sounds which often take Led Zeppe- lin out of a format of complete rock ‘n’ roll or blues. Jones is the man who puts the exotic sounds into the music and in this

. way a wider degree of variety.

find some things lacking. This university may be too large, the

sense of community is stil4 here but it is diluted; and there are always enough can- didates to fill the students’ positions on various decision-making committees in the university, but usually they garner few votes.

This upcoming election is not an election of issues (although there are enough ‘of them) ie. housing, money shortages, time- tables, course quality, class size. This elec- tion is an election of involvement.

If the undergraduates in science want to have a representative, a reasonable person ’ who listens and talks equally well then they shall have to make it known. The next year will be harder on students because of prob- lems (not all of them internal to the univer- sity); it will be a time to, have student rep- resentatives on as many levels as possible. Otherwise the students may be over- ’ looked. The issues on you, so vote.

This album comes packaged in a con- tainer similar to Led Zeppelin III.. It,takes the form of an old walk-up apartment build- ing, and through the cut-out windows we can view pictures of the band members and other scenes which have been taken from various books, movies, and other sources. The purpose and connections between these is somewhat unclear to me but I’m sure that someone put the scenes together according to some grand plan. As usual information about the songs and the per- sonnel is at a minimum.

Physical Graffiti is a good album, allow- ’ ing Led Zeppelin a degree of freedom, but also forcing some repetition and filler songs. In a sadly non-commital way I have to say that I enjoy the album,‘but with some reservations. I think that it has something to offer for any rock’n’roll fan; but whether it has enough for you to buy the two record set will probably have to be resolved by a couple of your own listenings.

lntrimurals For the first summer ever, over

100 teams are involved in the In- tramural program-l 11 to be exact which is up from 94 teams last summer. If someone is not in- volved, contact the IM office and we’ll find a team for you.

Eight A level teams and 20 B level teams are vying for the En- gineering Memorial trophy. Rumour has it that the Base Burg- lers , the fall champions are ready to steal the crown from defending champions-Recreation. The youth of Recreation 2A style, claim that they’re number 1, while the Humkins are all quiet.

In the B level, if the names have anything to do with it, it could be a battle. Can you imagine the Sad Sacks playing the Bees, or the Dis- turbers playing the Destoyers or the Screen Gems versus the Dum- ont Ducks? It could be a fun league this summer.

Basketball - The summer basketball league

got off to a roaring start Wednesday as a total of 16 teams played their first league game. In A league, all three games were decided by ten points or more as players such as Charlie Chambers (K. St. Lym- phnodes) and Phil Schlote (Dons and XDons) led their teams to vic- tory. Dons and XDons have to rate as heavy favourites to carry the summer championship, although they were hard-pressed by an ag- gressive Kin team, only leading by one at half-time before pulling away in the second half.

B League games were much closer, as four games were decided by a margin of less than ten points, including a one-point thriller. Math, Slaughterhouse 5 and Pheasants all appear to have strong teams, but it is too early to pick a favourite. On May 28, the K. St. Lymphnodes play the Twine Tick- lers in what should be an exciting contest. In B league, there should be several close match-ups, includ- ing the Sneexiologists vs Pheasants and Vl S18zS2 contests. Games are played in the main gym, PAC, on Wednesdays between 6:30-9:30 p.m. Come on out and cheer for your favourite team!

Soccer This summer’s league is a mix-

ture of the young and old, the novices, the veterans. In the A league, the Senior Citizens will host some tough competitors in Recreation, Black Star, Panthers, Chem Eng and the Klingons.

In the B section, defending champions, CCCP must have been resting on their laurels as they were upset 4-O by the Renomes. A new entry, the Bios , after a year of ex- hibition play is the team to beat.
