New b y A nn e M acLennan Brian Fish w a s elected b y the clubs as M cG ill Students' S ociety's n ew V .P . Finance to replace Salim T harani, w h o recently resigned. Since he has been put into this p osition quite early in the academ ic year, he has a chance to have so m e im pact on the budget that w as p roposed b y Salim Tharani. A lth o u gh so m e parts of the p rop osed budget, such as that for the m aintenance and fu n ction in g of the Student U n ion B uilding, w ere ap p roved prior to the election of Brian Fish, he can initiate som e of his ow n p olicies and ideas w ith regards to such disputed item s as the p rop osed budget cuts for the clubs. T he m andate as outlined b y the co n stitu tion basically ou tlines his role as on e of keeping the Students' Society in fo r m e d of fin a n c ia l m a tters. H o w ev er, Fish intends to p lay a m uch m ore active role. H e is v eh em en tly op posed to Salim 's club budget cuts and is n ow in the process of exam ining w a y s to avoid this. The new V .P . Finance hopes in som e w a y , b y cutting corners in other areas, to be able to direct another $9 ,0 0 0 to the clubs.

A m o n g them are G ay M cgill, S tratom atic H eroes, the Cam era C lub, and the C hinese Students' A sso c ia tio n . It is in this area o f interest groups that Brian Fish feels there is a problem w ith classification and fun din g. C olin T om lin s of G ay M cG ill is presently w ork in g in his p o sitio n as president to try to h ave his group's classification changed from that o f an interest g fo u p to that of

The first o f these is com p o sed of Students' S ociety A ctiv ities, and these include: election s, W elcom e W eek, C arnival, the Program Board, the Tribune, H an d b ook , D irectory, and other sim ilar projects. T he secon d group of clubs has 'functional status'. S om e exam p les of those are the Film S o ciety , R adio M cG ill, Legal A id , the W om en's U n ion and others that perform a service for the M cG ill co m m u n ity.

no money at all. Brian Fish believes that this policy has been unfair. The deadline for club Budgets this year has been indefinitely extended. The Students' Society is still receiving applications for funding. Fish hopes to be able to change previous policies so that each of these budgets submitted can be examined in a more detailed fashion the purpose being to discover what clubs have their own sources of revenue and which are almost, if not completely, self-supporting. He dees not feel that $400.00 should be given tc a club that has requested less than that amount. There are clubs such as the Chinese Students' Association that charges dues and holds many suc cessful events, consequently working with a budget in the range of $7,000. However, under the present system had they been the first to apply they would have received a grant of $400.00 In his term as V.P. Finance, Briar Fish, hopes to do what he can to east or correct the disparities that occur between clubs and their budgets. For instance, he does not see why clubs such as Widget and the Economics Students Association which are closely related with the Bronfman Building activities can not find space in that building, when M.S.E.A. found space there so quickly when denied an office in the Uqion Building. He would like tc see some of the clubs on waiting lists receive space.

As V.P. Finance, Fish sits on both the Policy Review Committee and the Structural Review Committee. His work on these committees is directly related to his priorities for the yearr The Structural Review Committee will make its report by January 1982, so il any major structural changes are proposed by this committee they can be either approved or rejected in a campus-wide referendum in March. Brian Fish has very clear priorities. The first of these is to work on policy particularly with regard to the clubs. Secondly, Fish wants to see a redirection of internal funds, in the

An example of problems involvement creates is the cafeteria in the Union Building, where there is a definite conflict: profit making vs. services and quality control. Despite the fact that Brian Fish has entered into his position later than the other councillors, he hopes to have an important and positive impact on Students' Society and the McGill community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
‘Church not a Cult but a m ovem ent’ T o the Editor;
We, the members of McGill New Age Society, formally object to the article, “Cults on Campus" (Oct. 1, 1981) both for its inaccurate in formation concerning Church Universal and Triumphant and for its erroneous conclusions. First of all, although there certainly are those "cult" (i.e. unorthodox or marginal religious grousp) which could be labelled destructive according to Mike Kropveld's schema, Chruch Universal and Triumphant and Summit University, whose lecture series on the human aura we wished to sponsor, is definitely not among them. Of the characteristics which Kropveld lists to be criteria of a group which is "destructive”, only one relates to Church Universal and Triumphant, that béing the presence of a living leader, which on reflection, is characteristic of most movements, spiritual or otherwise. The leader of this organization, furthermore, is also the authoress of several books on seif-transcendance, including C lim b th e H ig h e s t M o u n ta in , S tu d ie s o f th e H u m a n A u r a , T h e M e c h a n iz a tio n C o n c e p t and P r a y e r a n d M e d itia tio n , and is the founder of
Montessori International, a completely accredited school for children from kindergarten to Grade 12, the only such school in North America to offer a Montessori teacher training program directed by E. Caspari, long-time colleague of the famous Italian educator. Program Director Earle- Taylor unfortunately has taken his "evidence" concerning Church Universal and Triumphant from a very questionnable source, the News Chronicle, which on further examination is among those sensationalistic newspapers which profit exaggerated stories such as those defaming unorthodox groups. Ignorance and fear often belie such criticism, since there will always be those personalities who are ready to publicize themselves and their dislike of a positive movement by supplying such newspapers with lurid tales and fictional accounts. Needless to say, once such newspapers have a sen sational story, they do not bother with any further research. Therefore, to clarify the issue and to defend Church Universal and Triumphant from becoming listed as a "destructive cult", we wish to point'’’ out, first of all, that this is a world wide organization, whose members are of all ages, nationalities, and social and religious backgrounds, (not a select

O pen letter to the ASUS
I make reference to item II of the ASUS minutes covering the meeting on Thursday, September 17, 1981. Information contained in this section is discriminately ignorant of the true facts as follows: 1) 3,000 copies.
The printing of 3,000 copies was proposed by the writers, based on the following criteria. 3,000 copies of the 1980 guide were printed and full cir culation was achieved, but demand was not met. The registration in arts and science faculties served by this guide is 6,958. Note that the final decision concerning the number of guides printed was voted upon and approved by the present ASUS executive. 2) Charging $0.25. Such a charge was an independent decision agreed upon by and totally upon the initiative of the present ASUS executive and in no way had the writers made any such suggestion. 3) We had to give them away. Mrs. Dawn Bonnell, Sadie's Manager, sold all of her 100 copies of the guide in the first three and one half days sans their usual commission. This, in midAugust when there were fewer students on ca m p u s. F u rth erm ore, arrangements for Sadie's to sell guides without commissions were negociated by the writers in the best interests of the ASUS. This was indicative of the the ASUS. This was indicative of even greater sales during academic advising and registration. Consequently, Tim Richards and John Edwards did not pursue channels open to them. They arbitrarily decided not to sell the guides at this time. They simply left copies in the boxes for free distribution without the minimal common courtesy of notifying Sadie's that the guides were now for free distribution and no longer for sale. 4) Printing costs exceed budget by $ 1 ,0 0 0 .
According to figures provided the writers by Benjie Trister, publishing costs exceeded the estimate by $600.0 The extra booklet was required due to the overwhelming response elicited by the writers. Far more courses were evaluated this year as opposed to previous years. Additional space was required to accommodate these ad ditions. Furthermore, it is the ex-
Tell it to your ombudsman perience of the writers that printer's estimates seldom reflect the final cost. This point was directed to the ASUS executive in a meeting held in March of 1981. Advertising space was subor dinate in comparison to extra space as aforementioned. It is the opinion of the writers that it would be ludicrous to consider advertising space as in valuable considering this function generated $735.00 in expected revenue. The reference made to the postal strike is both unsupported and unfounded. 5) Editors...budgeted honorarium for themselves. The tone of the subject minutes to this point suggest a note of sarcasm. Honorarium amounts were approved by the previous executive. Does the ASUS feel that the writers were overly compensated for their efforts, time taken and skill employed, all necessary in carrying out this undertaking? One of the writers was required to turn down a more lucrative summer job and discontinue thesis work in order to ensure the successful completion of the guide. It wo.uld not be an exaggeration to suggest that this task closely resembled a full-time summer job from a time point of view, but not from a monetary point of view. 6) Kept $200 for secretarial ser vices...used the ASUS secretary in stead. By far this is the most serious allegation. Refer to the Balance Sheet provided in the appendix to this letter. Perhaps the fact should have been reviewed prior to such an accusation: one of such magnitude. This bank account in the name of the McGill Course Evaluation Committee remains open pending receipt or remittance of accounts receivables. The ASUS secretary was employed for this job at the insistence of Tim Richards and Benjie Trister, who had promised her summer work. 7) Ask them for money...if we can get hold of them. First we ask, what money? Getting 'hold' of the writers was implied to be a difficult task. Tim Richards and Benjie Trister are in possession of both phone numbers. Both numbers were posted on the wall of the ASUS office until some point in September. One writer, namely Anne MacLennan can also be reached on campus at: the history department, the graduate history student room, DESA, the Tribune office and through Earle Taylor's student leaders listings. The second writer, namely Gayle Farrell is listed in the telephone book and is on campus at the linguistics department. At no time whatsoever were either of the writers approached concerning matters of money or any other matters to date. In light of the aforementioned fa c ts and in light of the fact that the minutes are widely distributed this action, in the opinion of the writers constitutes slander and defamation. Unless an official retraction and apology is served the M c G ill D a ily within one week, the writers will be faced with no alternative but to initiate legal proceedings against the ASUS executive, charging slander. Anne MacLennan Gayle Farrell
In the previous issue of T h e T rib u n e , readers were told how to get things done within the Students' Society. In this issue, the topic is what to do when things don't get done within the University. The Office of the Om budsman was established to handle grievances against the University Administration and to make the University more responsive to the needs of students. The broad title of "University Administration" includes dealing with course regulations, ad visors, professors, non-academic staff, Student Services (i.e. Student Aid, Health Services, Counselling, etc.), residences or registration. If you have a problem in regard to a n y aspect of your life at the University that you feel is not being properly handled, then you should call on the Ombudsman. There are many formal channels which may be followed to settle grievances, but there are just as many informal and often more effective ways to solve the problem. While the Ombudsman has no legislative authority, a good level of communication has been established with several Deans and other Heads of' Departments. The informal approach is generally quicker and is, therefore, ’ the specialty of the Office. If a more formal appeal is necessary, then the Ombudsman will provide assistance
with this process, usually conducted in collaboration with the Dean of Students. If you're still not sure whether or not to call the Ombudsman for that nagging problem of yours, then consider some case samples: -you disagree with the final grade you were given, but know that the professor won't listen to you; you are being charged a penalty for a violation of a rule that you didn't know existed, but you don't know who to complain to, (try me!); you have complained for weeks about the window in your residence room that won't lock, but still it won't lock; your interpretation of a guideline is different to that of your advisor, but you can't seem to make the advisor understand it-. It should be clear: Your complaint can stem from anything — including sexual harassment — and the Ombudsman will look after it for you, in complete confidentiality. So, now you're convinced that it's time to see me. Here's how: Office: Rm. 414, Sutdent Union, 3928921. Office Hours: Tuesdays 10-11, Thursdays 1-2. Messages: Leave with General Secretary at 392-8922. Evenings and Weekends: (Home) 2861373.
Notes from a broad by Nancy Martin There seems to be a critic born every ’minute, and I seem to have the misfortune of encountering most of them. For some that would be a thrill, I suppose, but for me it's very annoying. I've never felt that a play-by-play critique of life was essential to my enjoyment of said life, but I'm con stantly confronted by it anyway. Have you ever noticed that whenever you come out of a play, movie, concert or a n y th in g which you've truly enjoyed (perhaps over which you've even shed a tear), there's inevitably a critic at your elbow annoncing loudly to the world at large that the performance was "flawed" by any one of a million things? The critics are always there, and my reaction to them is twofold. I resent their truly dampening effect on my enjoyment, and I feel sorry for their inability to perceive that some things are meant to -be dealt with emotionally, not intellectually. I'm an emotional person. I can admit that in 1981, because we're all so advanced and liberated, but for years I dared not emote anywhere but in the safet;y of my own home. Even then, guests often looked at me askance. To gauge the quality of one's life by the quality of the emotions one feels is a practice that is generally greeted with skepticism at best, by outrage and abuse at worst. In our society, success is generally guauged by position and income. By those standards, only a fool would call me successful. I am a student, and my income is virtually zippity-do-da. But I will stand as the first fool to call myself a success. Since
I started Grade One, I've wanted to go to University, and here I am. And I'm happy about it. Yes folks, there we have it—I'm now out of the closet: I'm happy to be in University. Sure, it's a drag sometimes, when the stack of books on my work table threatens to avalanche me into oblivion, and every time I acknowledge the fact that I have 7 term papers to write, I want to throw up. But it's what I want to do, and it makes me happy to do it, so that's enough. The people I really wonder about, though, are the ones who never seem to be happy about anything. They hate school (if there their word is to be taken), their professors are dolts, nothing they're doing here is relevant to anything and the whole process is an abysmal waste of time. And of course they're right. They are wasting their time. They're also wasting my time. I can't see any reason in the world why I should be surrounded by that sort of attitude. I'm fully aware that nothing in this life is perfect, and education is very much part of this life. But I've managed to accept the "flawed reality" as something that can be very helpful to me, as long as I take the time to sort through the good and the bad. Probably the very worst of the bad that I've had to deal with are those critics who are so intent upon projecting an intellectual and blasé exterior that they've lost touch with how they really feel about who they are, and what they're doing. As long as I can continue to accept that hyper critical attitude for exactly what's it's worth—nothing—I'll be happy.

A number of policies have been altered because of cases handled by the Office of the Ombudsman. Your complaint may also be someone else's complaint and maybe a regulation needs some modification., Not only will I help you with your problem, but you might just help every student by letting someone know that things aren't right. No hesitaiton, then. If you have a problem now, or if one develops while you're at McGill, then call the Ombudsman — I'll listen! Patrick H.F. Baillie McGill Ombudsman
Kenyan students
Not lost, never lonely The seventy-six Kenyan students that McGill International brought to McGill for the 1981-1982 school year finally received that orientation they are entitled to in the form of a reception on Friday, October 2, at 8:00 p.m. at the coed residences. The wine and cheese reception was an opportunity for the Kenyans to make clear their feeling about their new surroundings. "The most value from the meeting was derived from informal conversations. Everyone was really open, asking questions and comparing lifestyles," says Keith Hennessy, Vice-President Internal of the Students' Society. He also said that most of the Kenyan students did not appreciate being called "lost and lonely" by the McGill Daily. "We are not lost, and are never lonely." The orientation was held for both welcoming and informative purposes, Hennessy told the Tribune. Presen tations were given by, among others, Dean Michael Herschorn and professor Walter Hitschfeld, in order to offer the Kenyan students necessary in formation about McGill. "In Kenya, student associations are mostly political, and don't have the kind of services McGill has to offer," Hennessy said. The orientational reception, ac cording to Hennessy, was necessary because the orientation offered by McGill International at the beginning of the school year concerned only academic and financial matters. Walter Hitchfeld, the new director of McGill International, said, in speaking to the Kenyan students about social orien tation, "We are not responsible to help you in the particular situation that you are in. There are others who are responsible." In Hennessy's opinion, "If McGill International invited seventy-six foreign students to pay differential fees to study at McGill, then those responsabilities are theirs. McGill International did not tell Students' Society about the Kenyan students. We found out only ofter they had arrived at McGill." Even after all the disorganization in their welcoming to McGill, the Kenyan students are interested in participating in the student life offered here at McGill, and in everything that Montreal has to offer, says Hennessy.

Rock group Photograph will play by Paul Mason Although Photograph has been together for the past twelve years, they have only very recently entered the picture in the Canadian music scene. This overnight sensation status may be partially due to the fact that, until not too long ago, the band was calling themselves The Elevators. At that time the band was performing mainly" new wavish material, but that was dumped along with the name — now only pure Rock & Roll. Photograph's debut album, T h e P h o to g r a p h A lb u m (on Capital Records) is an excellant example of the potential that this band has. The band's musical influence range from the Beatles to The Who and undeniably Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen's presence is obvious in Photograph's lyrics and song stylization and the band has done very well in capturing the Boss' energy and passion. This is exemplified on one of the best tracks of the album, entitled, "Sarah". Andy Forgie, the band's writer and lead singer is a pricelless asset to "Photograph": a vocalist who can carry a song with a minimum of ac companiment. The first single, "The Last Dance", has been played ex tensively across Canada during the summer and the second single, "Blow Away" is the best arranged and cat chiest tune on the album. This could very well be the song track that breaks the group nationally. Photograph's live performances have also been well received by audiences across Canada, and they have shared the bill with the likes of Bo Didley, April Wine and Chuck Berry. Photograph will be appearing in the Union Ballroom, Friday, October 16th at 9 p.m. don't miss this rare Montreal performance. Rock group Photograph

type of music. Renowned Irish flutist, James Galway is a confirmed follower of the Quintet and he has attended many Koffman performances around the world, praising his unquestionable talent. One critic summed it up when he said: "Koffman is a consummate musician and is keenly attuned to what is good and at the same time what is potentially popular. This approach has done more to popularize jazz than the inconoclastic approach." The Moe Koffman Jazz Quintet is truly worldclass! So, if you're a jazz fan or someone

Club celebrates 60th anniversary
Players Theatre is growing up by Diana Kolpak
Player's Theatre is growing up. The club celebrates its sixtieth birthday this year, having been founded in 1921 by McGill's English department. A series of skits and musical numbers were included in the premier performance. Members were drawn from the ranks of English majors, special graduate students and others with an intense interest in the theatre. Women from the Royal Victoria College were ad mitted to the club on the same basis as men, with equal representation in the government. However, women were not allowed to become president. Sixty years later, the club is still thriving, and invites student par ticipation from all disciplines at McGill. Allain Lalouz, the vicepresident of the club, says that the objectives of the club include "getting students from all areas to participate in theatre". Lalouz feels that Players gives students an opportunity to get in volved in a commercial theatre. "As well", says Lalouz, "there is a com munity aspect involved. Often Players will encourage Montreal schools to arrange for their students to come see a show that we are doing. The Theatre also likes to let the senior citizens know that Players is here for them as an alternate form of entertainment". Lalouz was quite adamant in his insistance that Players exists for all McGill students, be they architects or zoology majors: "If they're interested, we'll find something for them to do". Being an English major is no longer a prerequisite for joining the club, and although this year's president, Andrew Forrest (a poli-sci major), is male, women can now be president. There are many possible ways in which a student can participate ip Players. If you ever decide that you would like to see a specific show staged, all you need do is present the script to the Player's executive. They will then read it and decide whether or not it would be feasible to produce it. However, don't always expect instant results. The production of a play is a lengthy process. For example, Streamers, this season's opening show, was first conceived of as a possibility in May of this year. Lalouz says that Streamers was chosen for production because "it is relatively commercial, it is challenging in terms of acting, it is well-known, suitable for the audience we expect and it fits the performance space available". Any play given to the executive would be evaluated ac cording to similar standards. Streamers is being directed by Brenda Anderson, a professor in the department of English. Lalouz says that she was considered as the best
choice for a director because she is known for her ablility to produce good results in a short space of time — a necessity for Streamers because of the short (five-week) rehearsal period. Directing positions are open to students and professors. The audition process is a process which, according to some of those people who auditioned for Streamers, "can be sheer hell". General fears which were expressed by aspiring actors before their auditions included: "I am going to have to do something weird", "I've heard that all directors are inherently cruel people", and "I don't even know what I'm doing here — I think that all actors are rather strange". Yet, when approached after the auditions, these same people described the auditions as "very warm" and not at all what they had expected. The Streamers production staff were generally very pleased with the auditions. Director Anderson says that there was "a lot of talent" seen during the course of auditions. The only negative point brought up by the production staff was a general disappointment with the small number of black actors who came to audition. As a result, an actor form outside McGill was asked to audition and ultimately received a part. "This outside casting is not regular policy at Players," says Lalouz. "We try to cast our shows with McGill students unless there is absolutely no one from McGill who can effectively fill the role". A few words of advice to prospective future auditioners from the staff of Streamers: come dressed in loose clothing or gym clothes, ready to work, listen carefully to any directions which you are given and follow them without questionning them and, most important, act naturally and have fun. If you find that your name does not appear on the final cast list — don't despair. Not being cast is not necessarily a reflection on your acting ability. "A director, in casting, looks at not only acting" says one Streamers staff member, "but also at com patibility in terms of physical and vocal qualities, as well as the ability to work with the other actors. It is common knowledge in the theatre world that sometimes a final casting choice is made on the basis of the sizes of available costumes". Rehearsal after the final casting takes up much time. The actors in Streamers, for example, have been rehearsing almost every day during the past month, and their performance schedule is a long one. The show runs from October 20th-24th and then from the 27th-31st, with a matinee on the 31st in 10

addition to the regular eight o'clock performance. If you are more interested in production than acting, Streamers producer, Barry Garber, says that Players "is always looking for in terested and dedicated people". Production jobs range from make-up to set construction, so there is a wide variety of jobs to choose from. "All that we demand as a mem bership fee" says Lalouz, "is com mitment". Players has much to offer the students at McGill. One of the
biggest advantages of getting involved, according to one of the actors in Streamers, is the fact that "you get to meet people with whom you share a common interest". If you are not interested in either acting or production — don't give up hope, an alternative awaits you: participation through viewing. Drop by the theatre, which is on the third floor of the Union building, and see the play. After all, what is a performance without an audience?

In fullfilling our mandate in in forming the student body about the situation in South Africa, the South Africa Committee will present news items emanating from the South African news media. All information presented in this column are verbatim reports from the South Africa Press. News and Press releases from the South African Media The major news stories emanating from the South African press during the past three weeks concerned growing international protest over the Springbok's rugby tour of New Zealand and the United States, South Africa's invasion of Angola, and the recently concluded Commonwealth conference in Australia. The state-owned South African Broadcasting Corporation called the thousands of demonstrators who had participated in the anti-apartheid protests in New Zealand "hired thugs and dupes of Communist agents" while the J o h a n n e sb u rg S ta r in its editorial defense of sporting links with other countries, wrote that "... as long as their hosts want them to stay, the South African team has an obligation to play." Despite the lull in news reports in western newspapers. South African troops are still occupying territory in Southern Angola. A spokesman at the military's headquarters in Pretoria said that "as long as Angola gives sanctuary to the murders of innocent people, Angola would have to bear the consequence." In reference to the South West Africa Peoples Organization, the spokesman said, "SWAPO" 'terrorists' would be hunted down wherever they were". The military spokesman also said that appeals for peace and cooperation had been made by South Africa, but had been rejected by "decreped Marxist controlled states such as Angola." Though talks between South Africa and the United States held in Geneva had broken down, the South African appointed adminstrator of the region said he had "the greatest confidence in the new initiatives regarding the 'South-W est A frica/N am ib ia' question." Interviewed by the South-West Africa Broadcasting Corporation, Mr. Hope said that he didn't want to make any speculations as there were too many possibilities. He said that the issues involved "appeared to be reaching a decisive point" even though no definite plan program had been planned. V*
