gMFGILL TRIBUNE National names on McGill Speakers Schedule

Vol. 1, No. 2 September 24,1981

G R E Y M c G IL L Do you consider yourself to be a mature student? There's a one in ten chance that McGill doesn't agree with you, no matter how advanced your character development may be. McGill, and most other universities, have designated the term "Mature Student" as a reference to those freshman students who are at least 23 years of age. At present, this group comprises approximately ten per cent of M cG ill's full-tim e student population. The Mature Student's Association — (MSA) of McGill is a relatively young organization, having been formed only two years ago. While the membership of the Association is currently fairly small as compared its potential size, the 1981-82 executive is very keenly expansion-minded. President Jim Cornell, Vice-President Bruce Wright, Secretary Anne Wordrop, and Treasurer Nancy Martin, feel that the successful future of the organization lies in responding to the needs of as many mature students as possible, and in aiming the association to evolve in whatever direction those needs dictate. It is generally agreed that mature students, while encoutering many of the same academic problems as other students, have a significantly different outlook on the university experience. While many mature students are physically indistinguishable from the average, there are many whose formal

The speakers Committee of the new Program Board has scheduled a variety of speakers, conferences, and mini conferences 'for the 1981-1982 school year. The Speakers Committee is trying to book a "big name" speaker for November, although neither the issue nor the V.I.P. has beendetermined at this point. A two-day mini-conference on the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Security Service is planned for the beginning of November. Expected speakers include Mr. John Starnes, Director General of the old Security Service who is generally considered responsible for wiretapping and other assorted activities of the Service. The Chairman of the new Security Service, and perhaps Mr. Justice McDonald, who ran the Commission of Enquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the RCMP, will also be included.

According to Bruce Hicks, chairman of the Speakers Committee, the main issues that will be discussed are the following: Does a Security Service have to go outside the law in order to function? What should be done about RCMP wrongdoings? What form will the new Security Service take? "These questions were raised in 1970, and still have not been resolved. These issues must be addressed by someone," says Hicks. At the end of February, a huge conference is planned. It will be en titled "Where Do We Go from Here? The Next Two Years of FederalProvincial Changes". The Committee considers this project the highlight of the year's events. The conference will be concerned with the federal-provincial policies which must be negotiated by April 1st. The jnajor issue with which the conference will be concerned is the recent leak of a Cabinet document asking that the federal government cut eleven billion dollars from provincial coffers. This is money that was ear marked for educational purposes, but was used for services such as road improvement. The conference is scheduled to take place while the federal government is drawing up a new fiscal arrangement. Among the speakers who will appear at McGill at that time are:

What’s the Rush M c G ill

The H onourable Jean Chrétien, M P, will spe ak at M c G ill this year. He will be one of m any well known

figures spo n so red Program Board.

The Honourable Jean Chretien, Minister of and Attorney General of Canada, Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Social Planning, and The Honourable Brian Peckford, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. Also expected are the Honourable Rene Levesque, Prime Minister of Quebec, and the Honourable Peter Lougheed, Premier of Alberta. The conference will last five days, from February 15 to February 19. Says Hicks, 'This is the first opportunity, and perhaps the only opportunity where the federal and

provincial negotiators will be brought together in an open forum. The timing could not be better for McGill or the provinces. The federal gouvernment has refused to discuss federalprovincial fiscal arrangements in the past, and this may be its only op portunity to do so." Any students interested in helping out on these and other speakers committee projects should go see Bruce Hicks in the Program Board office, B07 in the Union Building, or call 392-8976. Volunteers will be welcomed with enthusiasm.

In the United States, the exact function of fraternities and sororities needs no explanation. This is as much due to their role being clearly evident as it is due to the simple longevity of these clubs. They have been in existence, in many cases, for over one hundred years. In Canada, however, the word sorority conjures up visions of tea drinking girls in silk stockings, while the word fraternity brings to mind the lecherous lushes of the movie "Animal House." It is these stereotypes, and the great lack of information about the fraternity system, which fraternity members confront each fall during what they call "Rush". (continued on page 2)

’8 2

by Marie-Christine Colban The look of the '80s. It is an expensive, cumbersome and ultimately shallow pursuit, or does it really make a difference in one's lifestyle and outlook? I think it does. Fashion involved a gradual but continuous change of ideas in lifestyle, mood, design. Fahsion in the '80s, for women and for men, has evolved from the turbulent '60s and '70s into a bolder, simpler, less cluttered statement. Italian and American designers, such as Armani, Versace, Calvin Klein and Halston, have all made it a point to design simpler, more comfortable clothes. Styling of apparel has become more affirmative, their wearer self-assured. It is important to remember that true fashion is not dictatorial, but rather suggests a new, fresh approach to clothes that can and should abe

adapted to suit the individual wearer. Hence, the ease, confidence and selfassurance of the truly “fashionable" man or women. One can take comfort in knowing that last year's basic look is still much in evidence, and that there is no need to purchase an entire new collection of clothes. Updating one's present wardrobe, and purchasing a few key items seems a reasonable route to follow. Fashion publications are an excellent source of inspiration for achieving successful blends of colors and styles, as is browsing along a fashionable street (such as Crescent Street or Rue St-Denis), observing the passers-by as well as the window displays. Here are a few personal hints for updating one's wardrobe: The basic pant-look is all-important, and slacks should be straight or wide cut (that

includes the ankle). Short pants vary in length from above-the-knee to mid calf, and include variations of the culottes, such as bermudas, gauchos and knickers. Their loose, comfortable fit allow for freedom of movement and ease of wear, so crucial to the successful fashion mix. To achieve the look, cut a loose-fitting, straight pair of pants below the knee, hem cuffs or pass elastic through the hem. Try extra-wide wale corduroy or rich velours in a soft, muted shade. . Skirts and tops are all full, billowy and comfortable. Please note the importance of the chemise or loose, free-flowing shirtdress, which can be shortened into a tunit (with a wide belt) over pants, or worn as is, belted or not. To update your tops, trim a loose shirt or dress at the collar and cuffs with lace purchased by the meter. Try a simple or starkly contrasting

According to Memoria Lewis, president of the MIFC, this year's Rush events are more organized than ever before. The sororities have always followed a schedule of events during Rush, in order to avoid holding conflicting events, but this is the first year that the fraternities will also use a T H U R S D A Y S E P T . 24 T U E S D A Y S E P T . 29 schedule.

color (black lace on écru crepe). Sew a lace collar onto a sweater. A large skirt, either flared, A-lined or "dirdnl" in dark wool serge or thick, rough tweed, is a key investment purchase, especially if chosen in a neutral shade. Coats and jackets are generously cut, and blanket-like tartans and plaids are particularly well-suited to the style. The “blouson'' look, with raglan shoulders and dropped waist are found in both coats and jackets. Trimmings are much in evidence in W inter '82 designs. Braiding, passem enterie (multicolored silk trim), lurex thread, lace, embroidery and leather detailings can easily be added to last year's clothes. A light touch is needed, however, and one shouldn't overdo.

Notes from a broad by Nancy Martin Don't run off to buy your airline tickets; this isn't a travel column. It's an opinion column , and I should note that the opinions expressed aren't necessarily those held by the editorial staff, the Students' Society, or, for that matter, me. They're just opinions. Shocking Confessions However, I do feel strongly that if I want to refer to myself as a broad, I have that unequivocal right. I realize that some people would say that I'm insulting or even degrading myself, and possibly all women. To those people I would like to say, "Walk east until your hat floats." I won't say that, though. That would be rude. Instead I will say, "Please, for everyone's sake, let's just lighten up a tad." This will probably bore you all to tears, but I have some really heavy weight confessions to make. Not only do I have the sheer nerve to call myself a broad, but I also watch the Miss Canada pageant every year. I even get a bid misty-eyed when the winner is crowned. Sick, huh? Maybe it is to you, but I think that if someone wants to be Miss Canada, that's nice, and I'll feel happy for whoever wins, because it must be exciting for her. I'll also feel disappointed for the girls who lose. I don't want to be Miss Canada (which is probably a good thing for me, because I never will be), but that doesn't make me think that people who

want to be Miss Canada are wrong. It means that those people who want to be Miss Canada are different from some of us, and there's nothing wrong with that. I haven't met anyone yet who can stand as a role model for the entire race. I don't know about you people, but I'm pretty tired of everything being desexed. It takes a lot of the fun and spontaneity out of life, not to mention being a royal pain in the butt. For instance, a few years ago I worked as a milkman. I was most definitely not a milkwoman or a milkperson. I was a milkman. I was a human (not huperson) who delivered milk. If this business goes any further, the names we give our children will even be suspect. There'll be no more Amandas and Hermans. They'll become Apersonda and Herperson. In which case, I think Hisperson should get equal time, too. I've even encountered a few people so cavalier as to try to re-arrange other languages, as in Ombudsperson. I'm sure that the Swedish would have a few words for that one! I don't mean to take sweeping potshots at all of feminism. There is some really good work being done by feminists. But when it comes to the point of arguing whether someone should be called the Chairperson or the Chairwoman, I think it's time to call a Time Out. After all, it's not people in

And I'm quite sure that it'll be permissible for me to refer to

myself as a broad if I want. My feeling is that we should all look after our own backyards first. If we have time to help somebody else with theirs, that's great. But maybe we should ask first if the help is needed and desired. Just because you don't like someone else's shrubbery doesn't mean that they're not perfectly happy with it. They may feel that your new and improved idea isn't appropriate for them. And that has to be their choice.

’82

Isn't it nice to hear that someone's doing something right? Well, here's the good news: Martin Osmond (a McGill pre-med student) knows how to J?e in the right place at the right time. On Saturday, the 5th, Osmond was at the Bring Back the Summer bash held in the Union Ballroom, as part of the Welcome Week activities. When Ronnie Segal and Carolyn Stamegna, vice-chairmen of the Program Board, made the drawing for a two-day, all expense paid trip for two to Miami Beach, Osmond's name was not the first one drawn. For that matter, it wasn't the second or third. But it was the fourth, and because the other three names drawn couldn't be attached to people present at the party, Osmond won the trip. When Osmond was interviewed upon his return from Miami Beach on

Tuesday, the 8th, he said that he had had, "an amazing time". He and his long-time friend, Richard Whitehead, took advantage of the sun and salt water, enjoyed the night-life, and bolstered the U.S. economy with a bit of shopping. Osmond also wanted to express his thanks to Peter Gruer, Manager of the Canadian University Travel Service (CUTS) office in Ottawa, who arranged the trip. CUTS will be opening a McGill office at the basement level of the stairwell in the Union Building this month, and they provided this trip as an opportunity for a couple of lucky people to have a last fling before hitting the books. Osmond was certainly appreciative of the opportunity, and said that he'd be happy to do it again any time the CUTS wanted to send him.

mature student in social contact with other individuals with similar interests, problems and goals. While the MSA is only too well aware of how little time is available to students who have family and business obligations to cope with as well as their academic work, the executive feels that the Association can help the mature student save time, by making available information and assistance. The MSA ordinarily occupies room 322 of the Leacock building, but that room is temporarily being used for other purposes, while renovations are being made elsewhere in the building. However, the MSA expects to resume use of the lounge in October, so watch this publication for notification. At thaf time, the executive will post office hours, when they will be available to mature students, to respond to

whatever problems and queries may be presented. If you're a mature student, the red carpet is out for you. Why not add a new dimension to your life?

Planters don’t work for peanuts by John F. Foy

Many foreign university students are lured each spring to the Canadian West in search of summer jobs. Numerous opportunities are available for almost anyone who presents himself or herself at the right time. Reforestation work, otherwise known as tree-planting, is one of the more lucrative seasonal opportunities that attracts non-

Other students may approach the problem from the opposite side. In this ap proach, one first writes to a Canadian employer and requests an application form. In completing this form, the despairing student finds that he or she must first obtain a working visa. On and on it goes, ad infinitum. Then there are those of restless spirit and/or low frustration tolerance who embark upon alternate and illegal routes. An American student, and a close

As any foreigner who has applied for a Canandian working-visa knows, the entire procedure is a vicious circle of red-tape and frustration. One must first submit an application to the Canadian Immigration. In completing

friend of mine, too close even to mention his true name, spent two’' months of the past summer as an illegal alien, planting trees in the British Columbian interior. For my friend's sake, I will call him Agent Orange. Having learned from word of mouth of the lucrative job prospects in the West, he set out for B.C. in early May. Rather than succumb to the trials and tribulations of obtaining a foreign working-visa, Agent Orange entered Canada under false pretense and applied for reforestation work as a Canadian citizen. Being that it was his first illegal romp in another country, he knew not what to expect. For tunately for my friend, a majority of the reforestation outfits in B.C. are

intentionally lax when employing planters of "questionable origin". The quality they look for in applicants is stamina. This is due to the strenuous and taxing working conditions planters must endure while on the job, in cluding insects, foul weather, and ten hour working-days to name but a few. Consequently, the turn-over rate of w o rk ers is e x tre m e ly h igh. Reforestation agencies will therefore hire almost any able-bodied male or female in an attempt to fulfill planting contract deadlines, imposed by the Ministry of Forests. If one is able to tolerate the distasteful conditions and consistantly plant well, employers are certain to keep personal questions vague. After being hired, Agent Orange found to his surprise several Americans and a European all em ployed as self-declared foreigners. Neither visas nor Social Insurance numbers were demanded. According to highly reliable sources, the demand in Western Canada for tree-planters is expected to rise over the next several years. This increase is a result of the ever-increasing rate of lumber operations. From Vancouver Island in March to regions of Alberta in July, planters will be in demand. Agencies will continue to hire foreign and Canadian students, alike. It is simply a matter of employing good workers, regardless of nationality, and getting the job done.

Tell it to the Trib

Flexible Funds? To the Editor: Being co-chairperson of one of the so-called "Society Activities" at McGill, it has come to my attention that the Society is very versatile in its approach to establishing its policies and in reaching certain financial decisions. As I had problems in getting my own budget approved, 1 was able to see that certain "unstable" (or flexible?) procedures were used. First, I was told that the new budget was acceptable since it was only $300.00 more than last year and we have one more day of activities and advertising. Then, later, I was told that my budget would be cut down by $400.00 from what it was last year and was led to believe that all the clubs had to take in a budget and that the upcoming "Resource Center" was one of the principal reasons. This, needless to say, brought a wave of frustration as it would have jeopardized greatly the success of our annual Blood Drive. The problem was solved when I showed that the potential profits of the Blood Drive Dance would allow us to break even. The problem has been solved, but I still question the principles involved. First, it appears that the budget for each club is highly flexible and subject to the g oo d will and ideas of the council in power at the time. Second, it seems that even though the financing of clubs represents only a small percentage of the Society's budget, the executive and the per manent staff are willing to use that percentage to balance the rest of the operations and the cash flow. That is supposedly why you "had" to cut budgets. I understand that the Students' Society's fees are not indexed to the inflation rate but there must be better ways to solve the financial problems caused by operations. Third, it seems that the funding of diverse clubs is highly dependent upon the political beliefs of the executive in control at the time and hampers their objectivity and fairness in ac complishing this financial task. It is my belief that a good, fair, objective executive should not make financial decisions based on political interests of his own but should do it in the best interest of the Society's members (i.e. the McGill students). Politically-based decisions often lead to costly mis-management. In the recent years, it seems the Students' Society has been used as a political tool to support one's own beliefs. It is not recommended and is highly immoral and misleading since the executive committee is playing with students' money. Fourth, it appears that the executive council approves the budgets only as the giving hand and does not request the clubs to show even a partial return. I have been witness to a tendency of

many groups to think of the Sopciety as a "mother" dog feeding its puppies without any expectations of getting anything back, as just being there for that purpose. It is high time that the council adopt a financial policy on budgets approval which would be sound for this highinflation plagued decade. It should only accept a budget if it shows some return and willingness from the club to use the money just as a building stone and not as something to spend at will. I was very surprised to learn that our organization was one of the rare ones in the history of the Society to be able to return all the money, even when our advertising expenses would give us good excuses. It is unfair to all the McGill students that the clubs do not put any effort in putting their account in the black, and overspend on printing, burn flags, or waste in some other ways without considering that they are using students' money. Different alternatives are open to them, such as getting coffee companies to donate the coffee for Coffee Houses, getting the printing company to put their name on the flyers to bring down the cost to almost nothing, etc... If the Society would require such effort from all its clubs and organizations, and if all the clubs would try much harder to respect the spirit, more money would be returned from initial subsidies, money which could be used to increase the initial subsidy for the next year, and/or, to fund more clubs and societies, and/or, start more projects such as the new Resource Center. Some will object to the suggestion of attracting "freebies" from companies, given the political nature of their organization, but I believe there are many ways around that, if they would only start looking. Immediatete action from the executive should be considered on the following points: 1. total separation between political beliefs and financial policies. 2. total separation between the percentage of the Society's budget for the clubs and the rest of its operations. 3. .approval of budgets should be tightly supervised and be subject to willingness from the club to be more active in trying to reach financial independence. 4. objectivity, fairness, morality and sound management should be the priorities of the executive when allocating money to their sub groups since it is their members' money they are using and not their own. Thank you for your attention and I hope you will give this letter every possible consideration.

Misplaced Priorities? To the Editor: Student government is not the world court. And more, contrary to the delusions of certain Students' Society officials, student government should not be regarded as the springboard into the world's political arena. I am not denying any individual the right to freedom of speech, nor his/her right to publicly assemble or practice the religion of his/her choice. I am however, denying anyone the right to promulgate their personal politics by picking the pockets of their unsuspecting fellows. It seems, however, that this year such is not the philosophy adhered to by some members of the Students' Society. The recent notion of the Society's Executive Committee to establish a "resource centre" is a prime example of this despicable practice. In itself at first glance, the concept of a resource centre may not be such a bad idea — except that we really don't need to "pull together people interested in creating a living research/resource environment", nor do we need a lecture bank, as essay bank (an idea university faculty will never advocate), nor more copies of Students' Society documents, the Daily, and Old McGill. The library already provides us with this. And moreover, the library probably accomplishes it far more extensively than the Students' Society ever could, and all this without even impinging on space in the University Centre which has been at a premium for years — or so those vying for rooms in the union have consistently been told. Amazing. Who would have thought the McGill libraries had so many uses? Apparently not certain members of the Students' Society. And as for the "alternative environment" concept, "alternative" is almost a synonym for "redundant". But what really reeks of skunk, is the deliberate bias this resource/research centre is slated to have. According to Mr. Richard Flint, V.P. University Affairs, as reported in the McGill Daily September 9, "we had a similar organization at the University of Sussex". The street libraries of England tend to become focusing- points for people involved in different liberal and political organizations. And in the September 3, issue of the McGill Tribune, Flint is reported as hoping "the library will be able to carry material on student organizations, South Africa, El Salvador as well as feminist and gay literature". In response to Mr. Flint, I would like to remind him that, if not now, the street libraries were originally a strictly co-op organization, wherein the only resource contributors were those who made use of the service offered. The case of the Students' Society, I believe, is quite different. Every dues-paying

student on campus supports every venture that the Students' Society sinks cash into, including for example the establishment of a research/resource centre that may well only serve the wishes and sentiments of a very minor portion of the student body. I sincerely applaud the dedication and possession of direction belonging to any individual who believes strongly enough in their "Golden Way", to wish to enlighten others about it. But, to spend the money of others in order to desseminate one's personal political leanings is a practice not in the least democratic, much less honest. I for one, certainly do not want my money spent to pamper the pet quirks of anybody else, regardless of how much more noble and knowledgeable their quirks may be than my own. The Students' Society was created to provide much needed services for students, by students, and to facilitate the protection of student rights which may occasionally come into jeopardy. Politics, in the grand sense of the word, has no place here. The officials elected by the student body each year to represent them on council, assumed their positions via no campaign platform pressing for the promulgation of any political philosophy and it is a gross affront to the democratic nature of the Students' Society constitution and its student members when any of these elected representatives begin to take advantage of their authority in this regard. . In the case of the resource centre concept, which will inevitably serve so few, why not sink that money into something beneficial to more students such as improving cafeteria food, allotting more money to Winter Carnival and Welcome Week, or simply giving it to the clubs who quite rightfully feel jilted with this year's cutbacks — cutbacks which Mr. Flint has attributed, absurdly enough, to the establishment of the long-awaited and much needed McGill Tribune. It seems to me that what most plagues the Students' Society this year is a problem with mistaken priorities. First, in the sense that some have deemed it not only fair, but necessary to foist politics on the student body, and second, in the sense that those at the helm of the Stud/Soc ship 81-82, can't even decide among themselves, or have changed their mind mid-way, as to what priorities are and how to achieve them, as Mr. Flint's statement regarding the Tribune clearly indicates. In the light of his statement, it is only reasonable to infer that he no longer sees communications as a main priority of the years roster of goals, and in the light of his advocation of a resource/research centre and his statements recorded in the last issue of the Tribune, it seems clear in what direction the Students' Society may be inclined. With the plethora of debts, doubts, frustrations presently embracing what is an essentially sound organization, to continue moving in the direction already charted by Mr. Flint is not only

wrong in principle, but also a serious mistake financially. For, come the next campaign pressing for a dues increase (and rumor has it that this could come as early as March '82), I have but one question. Who is going to support an organization that is doing so little for them and which has strayed so far from the realities and principles surrounding its inception? I for one

will not. And nor do I support the establishment of a resource centre that is a financial waste and of a dubitable nature "politically".

Results of the Last Questionnaire The response to our first questionnaire was unbelievable. The results are tabulated below. Among the Executive Committee's goals that were considered important were: maintaining quality of services and education despite financial cutbacks in education, increasing student participation, a review of Students' Society policies, a review of the existing structures within the Students' Society and to investigate business possibilities. The goals mentioned as some of the

least important were: analysis of existing student services and their expansion, developing a liaison with University staff associations and cooperative efforts on areas of common concern, improving student welfare services, cost of living allowance clause and a cooperative library and research centre. It was suggested that the Quebec student movement be strengthened primarily through the National Union of Students/Canadian Federation of Students (NUS/CFS).

Questionnaire Numéro Deux:

Course Evaluation Guides... This year's Course Evaluation Guide was an improvement on those editions which preceded it, due to added features and the fact that it appeared before registration. Presently the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society publishes this course evaluation guide and it is open to any department in the Faculty of Arts and Science that wishes to participate. The Faculty of Management runs their own publication and other faculties periodically make attempts at a guide of their own, but there is no con tinuous evaluation acrôss campus. It was proposed in the Executive Committee Report that course evaluation be extended to every faculty

and department. In this way, students in engineering, music law, education, social work and other faculties which have never participated would have the same advantages as the arts and science students. Campus-wide course evaluation would be a major endeavour. People would have to be organized at each level, from the funder of the project to departmental students and staff. Planning for such a project would have to begin in September for it to be succesfully completed. An indication of student interest in such a project would increase chances of its expansion. Please take the time to complete the questionnaire below.

The Trib begins Though it might seem an unfamiliar face on campus, the McGill Tribune is simply a new (and, I might add, more exciting) format for an old idea. Basically, the Tribune exists to cover student government, student activities, student clubs, Students' Society, and to provide a forum for presenting, ex plaining and discussing the Society's positions. Far from being a startling concept, the Tribune emerges out of a persistent trend. A publication along these lines has existed continuously in one form or another (if one can consider papers with the irregular publishing schedules these have had to be continuous) for over two years. The Students' Society Newsletter, which appeared during the 1979-80 school year was the first of these. It gave way in 1980-81 to the Informer, edited by that year's VP Internal. Further back in McGill's history is the Public Address. The Address was a Students' Society paper published during the late 60's to fill the gap left by the Daily's inadequate coverage of campus activities and to contrast with that paper's increasingly extreme position on issues. Fourth on this list of "second" papers, and also published by the Students' Society, is the McGill Tribune. Unlike its immediate pre decessors, however, the Trib is not edited by the VP Internal (a situation which, I believe, must of necessity become extremely difficult). The McGill Tribune functions through the efforts of its editors and staff members, though it does maintain close touch with the goals and plans of the Society in order to consistently inform McGill students. Those of us who have been involved with the genesis and production of the Tribune hope that, with the changes in form and responsibility that have been made, the McGill Tribune's role on campus will become a permanent one. If you have literary or artistic talents that are wasting away unused, if you are interested in having a hand in the evolution of M cG ill's newest publication, if you want to be able to say to your grandchildren, "I was there when the Trib was started...", join us! Our first open meeting will be held Tuesday, September 29th, and we're looking forward to a crowd! Luranah Woody ed.

McGill Redmen McGill. The Cup, symbolic of Montreal Intercollegiate Football Supremacy, is named after the legendary Frank Shaughnessy Sr. "Shag" played football under Knute Rockne at Notre-Dame. .The success of this event lies in a large measure with the suport and encouragement we receive from the community at large. At the present, an estimated 15,000 spectators are ex pected, the biggest crowd in over 50 years! WOW! With a major emphasis on the Shaughnessy Cup game, there will be a big push for the entire Redmen Football season. Some of the promotions will include the following. The University book store is supplying complimentary McGill book bags and book markers containing the season's schedule. Restaurants and popular student brasseries will display McGill place mats. The Student Society will kick-off the season with a Welcome Week. Some of the festivities will include the introduction of the 1981 Redmen Football players followed by a parade across campus to Molson Stadium. Several dances are planned, one immediately following the Home Opener and the other following the Shaughnessy Cup game. A street dance right on Campus will be a real genuine Block-Buster! Our motto is the "No. 1 Team in '81" — You won't want to miss a chance to follow the Redmen. Advance tickets are available at the Book store, Sadies and the General Office — Department of Athletics one week prior to the game. Tickets can be purchased at all ticketron outlets throughout the season. In Residence and at Registration, students will receive extra's when they purchase a season ticket — "A Go Redmen Visor, T-shirt and Red Powwower Button". You'd better watch out when you're in Redmen Territory!

What's Going To Get The Best Sports Coverage In Canada? McGill — Who? McGill University That's Who! The McGill Student Body and the General Public will be well informed on the action of the Redmen. CKGM, CJAD, CBC and many other radio stations will broadcast up-to-date schedules, scores, and key plays. This year we are taking a giant step forward to support and promote McGill Athletics, student, alumni and over-all crowd involvement. Promotions and student oriented activities are on the agenda. The main event this year will be "The Annual Shaughnessy Cup Game" between the McGill University "Redm en" and the Concordia

University "Stingers" which is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 2nd at Percial Molson Memorial Stadium at 19h30. The fighting McGill Redmen won the 1980 Shaughnessy Cup game and will return this year tougher than ever to retain the cup. This year's Shaughnessy Cup will be a very special event, for the first time students from McGill and Concordia Universities are organizing a benefit for Centraide. This game will mark the 13th edition of the Shaughnessy Cup game played annually between Concordia and

Environmental Awareness Society In this day and age of technological revolution we must remove the blinders from our eyes. The changes happening now affect the quality of life and the balance between man and his environment. Problems have arisen which can no longer be considered irrelevant to nature and the development of human culture. We are the ones affected by the industrial effluents 'on a global scale. The fact that man and his society come into contact with nature on so many fronts determines the diverse influence which the environment has on social activity, and the physical and moral state of each individual. It is for this reason, among others, that environmental problems have become the focal point of world public opinion. This emerging concern of man for the natural environment is directed to the problem of integrating modern s c ie n tific and te c h n o lo g ic a l developments with the natural processes taking place in the environment. The environment is a social responsibility by virtue of its interrelations with social and human development. Therefore an objective outlook on the environment cannot simply focus attention on ecological systems, but also on the economic and technological aspects, as they contribute to pollution and the depletion of natural resources, etc. In addition, the global destruction of the environment requires a serious understanding of its social and humanitarian aspects, for the problems must be tackled by the efforts of all countries in the world. It is easy for one to sit back at McGill and "discuss" the problems of the -outside world-, it is another to know and understand the problems and situations. The McGill Environmental Society (MES), now in its third year at the University, was established to be a forum through which the McGill community as well as the general public can learn about the many environmental issues which confront our society, (i.e. nuclear power, pollution, alternative energy...). This past school year MES co-sponsored Nuclear Power Week in conjunction with other interested societies during McGill Disarmament Week. Some of the speakers were; Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL), Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Resistance (CCNR)speaker Gordon Edwards, Quebec Peace Council, and Bob Mallory from the Society to Overcome Pollution (STOP), as well as (an issue perhaps closer to home) Bicycle Bob from 'La Monde a Bicyclette'. 11

This year we will continue to have knowledgable speakers with great insights to enlighten the masses, (and you). We would also like to provide further events for those interested in particular subjects, such as visiting a nuclear power plant, or further discussions on the pros and cons using informed sources. We have sent letters and received responses from some interested speakers. We would like to have a well rounded group of speakers from government, interest groups, and business. For this society to fulfill its goals we need the support of all interested people. We need your help. Stop by our office: Student Union rm. 404 (M,W 11-12) or contact Kym Anderson (931-0387).

AIESEC McGill Following two very successful Career Fairs in 1979 and 1980, AIESEC (A ssociation Internationale des Etudiantes en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales) McGill will be hosting its 3rd annual Career Fair on Wed nesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24th. Each day there will be approximately 20 different companies represented. The Career Fair will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day in the McGill Student Union Ballroom.

AIESEC McGill is an international association of economics and com merce students which is designed to supplement the university knowledge with practical business experience.
