Grace Permaul, President of Students’ Society and A den^7iaun!^o!a!T *of Women’s Cenlennial Committee cut Centennial Cake.

They Ate Cake

by Thelma Dawson | The Women’s Centennial celebraj tions at McGill began last Thursday afternoon. Grace Permaul cut a huge "100 pound” cake to start the celebra tions for this special year at McGill. It was a cold, blustery afternoon marked by bursts of sunshine when Grace, President o f the Students’ Society along with Arlene Gaunt, chairman of the Women's Centenary Committee sliced and served cake to the patrons of the Open Air Pub and other onlookers. The year 1984 marks the centenary of the entrance of women students to this university. It is an event which along with women’s entrance to other North American institutions of higher learning, has been enormously impor tant to the role of women in our socie ty. The cake cutting was the first of many activities planned throughout the school year. The celebrations have been organized by a group of commit tees who have been working for the past two years. The events include the minting of a specially designed medal, a costume exhibit at the McCord Museum, the publication o f a book —

“ A Fair Shake” — written by and about McGill women, athletic events, international conferences and panels, speakers and concerts. A full calendar of events was published in last week’s McGill Reporter. In addition, a mon thly newsletter, entitled “ Update” will chart the course of the Centenary events. O f course, watch The Tribune for full coverage of Centenary events. Last Thursday’s events concluded with the unveiling of the book, “ A Fair Shake” . The event was attended by most of the 30 women connected with McGill who wrote autobiographical essays for the book. Many spoke of the progress women had made in the past 100 years but there was a note of bitter cynicism from those who questioned how far the changes had actually gone. Students began to get involved in the planning of the Centennial last year, organizing the “ 100 pound” cake, sponsoring speakers, dances and athletic events, ideas which are always welcome, may be aired this week at a meeting in the Union Building. Watch for further announcem ents. The organizers promise that this will be a special celebration for everyone at McGill.

Pubs Renovated As

M an ag em en t F irm H ire d by Brian Todd In a radical departure from Students’ Society policy, the McGill Students’ Society has entered into a contract with Les Services Alimentaires C. V.C. to run the cafeteria and the two pubs in the Union Building. While the Students’ Society will maintain owner ship and ultimate policy control of the services, C.V.C. will manage them on a day to day basis as well as do the hiring and the purchasing. The new Executive Committee was faced with a dilemma when they took office. The employees of the cafeteria and pubs were organizing themselves in hopes of forming a union. In addition, both Gertrude’s and Gertrude’s II were in need of renovations. Executive Committee members saw possible price increases of 25 per cent looming on the horizon in order to pay for increased labour costs and needed renovations. Upon entering the contract with C.V.C., the Students’ Society was guaranteed a lower increase in prices as well as renovations undertaken by a private contractor rather than Physical Plant (and thus at substantially reduc ed prices). When interviewed on the subject, Grace Permaul, President of the Students’ Society, stated that the deci sion to enter into a contract with C.V.C. reflected, “ a change in focus for the Executive Committee from beer and pizza to politics.” She continued, that despite this change in focus, the Executive Committee wanted to main tain the high level of service combined with the quality of service that had been offered in the past. As they saw it, the only way to bring this about was

either through the sale of the operation entirely or the hiring of a professional management team specializing in Food and Beverage operations. The deal with C.V.C. involves a sharing of both profits or losses depen ding on the revenues generated. The Executive Committee hopes that with the computerized management systems available to C.V.C., the firm will be able to control and monitor profits and losses more accurately than the Food and Beverage Department ever was. “ They will be able to rapidly shift their resources and focus on what they find student needs to be,” commented Grace Permaul. What this means for the average stu dent is that Gertrude’s has a brand new coat of paint and flooring as well as a stand-up bar. Also the games that used to be in Gertrude’s have been moved downstairs to the new quiet pub. The former Gert’s II has undergone exten sive renovation and change to create an entirely new atmosphere. On or about September 15, “ The Alley” will open as McGill’s long-awaited quiet pub. The games will be kept in a separate room that is insulated from the rest of the plush carpeted, wood-paneled bar. Available in this pub will cappucino, croissant .and many speciality foods not complimentary to the famed “ Gert’s pizza.” M ajor prom otions have been planned for both bars by C.V.C. with regular musical perfor mances being part o f the overall at mosphere change. The cafeteria while undergoing little physical change will be endeavouring to target their food service and menus to the fickle student tastes.

This is your chance to have your voice heard in the vacuum that is McGill Whether your voice is thin and reedy or thick and deep, we want to hear it. The m m rra -----

We are only too willing to accept change. This paper is not the McGill Daily, we never will be and certainly do not intend to be. This newspaper was created and funded to carry news about the Students S h i t ty and the various clubs and organizations around McGill to you But we also cover news and features about the entire McGill campus and we sometimes even dare to venture off the McGill campus. We try to cover issues that may be overlooked bv our larger, older and perhaps more vocal counterpart, The McGill Daily.

Welcome Words From The Principal and Chancellor Welcome to McGill! On behalf of ail the faculty and staff at McGill, I want to welcome warmly those students who are returning for another year, and to extend a special greeting to students who are coming to our university for the first time, hope to meet many of you personally at university events during the coming weeks. Whether you will be studying at Macdonald College or at the downtown campus, you will have access to services designed to meet your academic needs libraries, counselling, career information — and faculty and staff members ready to lend a helping hand or friendly advice. I urge you to take advantage of all these oppor tunities, in order to make the most of your years of study at McGill. In your quest for academic excellence, don’t overlook the social and intellectual interaction you can have with your professors and fellow students, after class, through clubs and activities or just over a cup of coffee in the Student Union Building. Chances are you will never again have such opportunities for testing new ideas, giving and receiving criticism and practicing leadership skills. Moreover, the satisfaction and joys of the friendships you make this way are among life’s richest blessings. Finally, I hope you enjoy your time at McGill. Take part in some of the many athletic, cultural and social activities available to you which will help make your memories of McGill amongst your most precious in the years to come. I wish you all the best of success. David L. Johnston Principal

Welcome to the new McGill session. University life merges tradition into innovation and, although much remains familiar, McGill has changed tremendously even since I was a student. So, too, has the Students’ Society. . , However a truly fudamental development took place just 100 years ago when, m 1884, McGill admitted women students for the first time. The first vvoman to be president of the Students’ Society was elected nearly 20 years ago. In this centennial year the Society has its third woman president and McGill welcomes Governor General Jeanne Sauvb as the first woman to be University Visitor. This is happening at a time when the place of women in society is a lively issue. I hope, therefore, that the McGill celebrations will encourage women studenls in their search for more significant roles both in the University and outside. As voting citizens, most students both male and female can also make a signifi cant contribution towards ensuring that governments as well as private supporters make good decisions about the future of higher education. It is therefore important that student voices be heard not only where you have representation on university bodies but also in political and social organizations off campus. Your time at McGill will be well spent if, in addition to your academic work, you develop interests in the society where you will spend your lives. Best wishes for a happy and successful year. Jean de Grandpre Chancellor

Beacon on the Hill by Ravi Durvasula To all fresh persons (freshmen and freshwomen) — a hearty welcome to McGill. By now, no doubt, many people have welcomed you: administrators, freshmen advisors, members of the McGill Program Board (who are using an entire week of open air pubs to make the welcome especially enjoyable) and McGill cashiers, who restrict their welcomes to those who pay their tuition on time. All will have told you of the quality of McGill life and the range of available opportunities. Few will have told you of the more tangible ex periences which are integral to your initiation at McGill. Some of you may have been charmed by statements that McGill is ‘nestled at the foot of Mount Royal and, thus, commands an excellent view of the city.’ Brace yourself — this only means that McGill is built on an incline. As you trudge up and down the hills, especially if you live in the co-ed residences at the top of University St., the last thing on your mind will be the commanding view of the city. When the freezing rains of winter grip the streets and sidewalks, you may even consider hiring a team of Nepalese sherpas to help you get around. Many of you may have been enticed by descriptions in those ‘Welcome-toMcGill’ brochures of the ‘intimate classroom setting where a close rapport is to be established between teacher and student. And so, with notions of a teacher at his desk and a semi-circle of students all asking questions, you will

Welcome Home!! When all your thoughts, experiences, and friends are new — it's nice to have a place to land.

walk into Leacock 132 for your intro, science courses, where you will notice a sea of several hundred bodies. Perhaps you will scratch your head and wonder whether or not you are at the right university. Perhaps you will think you made a mistake and walked into a football stadium. Do not be bewildered. Grab a seat (if one is available) and try to establish an intimate rapport with a person you can barely see, whose voice you hear through a set of loudspeakers. You may, of course, choose to be concientious and purchase your textbooks before the onset of midterms. This in itself poses a minor challenge. As you stand in line for hours at the bookstore watching your neighbour’s beard grow longer, you may wonder why no one warned you during all that welcome rhetoric. More startling than the wait is the immediate consequence of the wait: the chance to blow a small fortune on a bundle of overpriced, seldomused textbooks. If you should despair, console yourself with the fact that you are not alone. These are a few of the myriad experiences which will characterize your years at McGill. They will add colour to your lives and will, no doubt, form the greater pari of your memories. But bear in mind that the transient frustrations they create are trivial when compared to the wealth you will acquire during your stay at the university. They constitute a unique form of welcome and, if you can see past them, you may profit from the opportunities McGill has to offer. Best of luck in the upcoming years.

of substantial media coverage from around the country. This year, the Red & White will be presenting “ When I’m Elected” — a musical comedy, political satire. It is the story of a McGill student who, upon graduation, decides to seek fame and fortune in Ottawa. After a long and circuitous journey through the na tion’s capital, he witnesses a House of Commons debate and decides that his future awaits him as an independent Member of Parliament. The play pokes fun at our electoral system, our political leaders, their parties, the CBC, the civil service and many other pieces of the Canadian mosaic. The show will run from November 14 through until November 24. The Red & White Revue will be holding auditions from September 17

by Steve Baker After nearly ten years absence, the Red Si White Revue is being revived as a full stage musical comedy. The Revue’s 60 year history is rich with famous alumni and unforgettable pro ductions. It was for many years con sidered the highlight of Montreal’s theatrical calendar The 1957 production, entitled “ My Fur Lady” , is undoubtably the most celebrated Revue in McGill history. It toured throughout Canada and became the longest running production in this country’s history. Among the distinguished alumni of past Red & White Revues are William

and

Shatner (Star Trek), James Domville (Director of National Film Board), Brian MacDonald (Director of Les G rands Ballets Canadiens), Galt MacDermott (composer of “ Hair” ), Frank Mills (pianist), and Tim Porteous (Director of the Canada Council for the Arts). Other Red & Whiters have gone on to fame and for tune as founding members of National Lampoon and Saturday Night Live. As in years past, the Revue will serve as the premier showcase of McGill talent to the Montreal public. This year's revival is certain to be the focus ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ m n n m

by Sr« Adolph It** a breezy afternoon when the young men in red uniforms convene to have the team picture taken, indicating j-iother season for the McGill Univerjiiy Redmen Football team. It also heralds all the excitement and spirit of following M o n tre a l’s successful gridiron unit. The Redmen have been training in rigorous two-a-day practices since August 27th, but a well organized off season strength program has them in first-rate shape. The workouts seem upbeat and loose in preparation for an exhibition game in Toronto. The mood is one of optimism this year. In 1983, a surprising young McGill side were finalists in the, Ontario-Quebec Inter collegiate Football Conference, and with only eight starters from last year’s squad graduating, the red troops look to make further gains. This optimistic feeling is shared by the Redmen’s head coach of thirteen years, Charlie Baillie. “ Very com petitive...hard to beat” is how Coach Baillie views this season’s prospects, describing a well balanced team, strong at all positions. The only possible question-mark is in the defensive backfield which is less experienced, but Baillie is confident his new recruits will get the job done. On offence the skipper looks to an improved game to complement what is somewhat unusual in collegiate ball — a good passing attack. The key to this side's offensive fortunes is quarterback Jamie Crawford, in his last year and a likely all-star candidate in the con ference. Crawford’s straight, pinpoint tosses in practice were, by the defensive back’s own admission, indefensible. Under the expert tutelage of former Montreal Concorde quarterback and town favourite, Luc Tousignant, a banner campaign for Crawford and his receiving charges should be in the off ing. The opponents, especially those from Ontario, may also be fooled by the bilingual make-up o f this club. It is half English, half French, I am told, and opposing defences may get crossed picking up confusing signals from the line of scrimmage. Nevertheless, this unit seems to function more cohesively than, let’s say, the House of Com mons, and a McGill championship will be proof that bilingualism can succeed

Redmen soccer is alive and kicking this year, as it appears that McGill is once again a serious contender for the CIAU championship. In an attempt to win their third con secutive Canadian title, the Redmen were narrowly defeated by Laurentian last year in the CIAU. According to coach Gord Gow, the team is “ pretty much the same, except for the loss o f a few key players.” Dickens St-Vil, who graduated from medicine last year was the top-scoring striker for McGill for a number of years, with a superb shot and a tremen dous sense of postitioning. “ The loss of Dickens hurts, and he will be dif ficult to replace,” Gow admitted, but he felt that “ we won’t be weakened significantly.” One of the reasons Gow exudes confidence about his team’s scoring ability is the return of striker Graham Butcher after a 1-year absence. Another key aspect of the Redmen team for the last few years has been its rock-solid defence. Perhaps the rock

has been chipped at somewhat by the departure of the Redmen’s superb stopper, Doug Cave. However, it ap pears that a more than adequate replacement has entered the McGill camp. Franco Stompetti, although a Redmen rookie, has been playing for many years as a stopper locally in Montreal, most recently in the Ex cellence league. He has shown excellent form in camp, and is ready to head up the Redmen defence. Thus, Gow feels his team is once again “ very strong defensively, and nobody is going to get by Aldo Braccia (the goalkeeper).” The addition of former All-Star defenceman John

d’Ambosio to the coaching staff has aided Gow in building his “ wall” at the back. The only area about which Gow is somewhat uneasy is his midfield. However, he believes that if the guys work hard enough and ‘run their guts out,’ there should be no problems. The main area that the Redmen must improve is across the sidelines — in the stands. With a team as successful as the Redmen, they certainly deserve the recognition and support of McGill Students. The type of soccer that the Redmen play is very entertaining, and it’s just a matter of getting the students out to that “ first game” . I’m sure they111 come back for more!
