by Patrick H .F. Baillie and Sarah Marshall While attendance at R edm en a nd M artlet sporting events m ay n o t show it. there is great student interest in the M cG ill sporting life. A t the fo r e fr o n t o f the athletic charge is our Principal, an intercollegiate athlete during his univer­ sity career a n d an a d m inistrator who continues to have a strong concern with

the physical well-being o f the M cG ill co m m u n ity. Principal Jo h n sto n can he seen jo g g in g through the campus, kick-' ing fo o tb a lls f o r the R edm en a n d cam ­ paigning f o r the new athletics facilities.

The McGill Tribune

Free-Thinking, After All These Years B L A N C : Now, especially in 1982, y o u seem to give m o re coverage to political issues. It also seem s to be a p o licy o f yours, as reflected in th e fir s t B y-Law o f the Daily Publications Society, article 2, clause 2. /, where the prim ary aim o f the D A IL Y is referred to as being an “agent o f social change, assisting students in understanding a n d resisting exp lo ita ­ tion a n d injustice wherever it m ay be f o u n d . ” C o u ld y o u e x p la in ‘so c ia l change’ to me? What does that m ean exactly?

F L IN T : I th in k th a t it’s a clau se th a t every p erso n in th e D aily has a d ifferen t idea a b o u t. O u r sta te m e n t o f principles is a k ind o f really vag u e th in g because it’s in te rp re te d in a d iffe ren t w ay b y ' every s ta ff m em b er. B asically we believe th a t p u ttin g o u t a n e w sp a p er is a p o liti­ cal th in g an d y o u have to a d o p t a p o liti­ cal a p p ro a c h . C o m m e rc ia l n ew sp ap ers h av e a p o litica l o rie n ta tio n w hich is co m m ercial.

B L A N C : W hat w o u ld y o u call a 'co m ­

m ercial' newspaper?

F L IN T : The (M o n tre a l) Gazette, fo r ex a m p le . T h e ir code o f eth ics is c o m ­ m ercial, w hich m ean s th a t th e ir p rim a ry aim in ex isten ce is to m a k e m oney fo r th e ir o w n ers, a n d th e re fo re they have a p a rtic u la r political o rie n ta tio n . As a resu lt, th e y have a p a rtic u la r kin d o f new s style in w hich they a tte m p t to p o r­ tra y th em selv es as an objectiv e n ew sp a­ p er, w hich is o b v io u sly a m yth. N o p a p e r ca n be objective. W e d o n ’t have a c o m m ercial ethic. W e’re n o t a p ro fit o rg a n iz a tio n . W e e x ist o b v io u sly to serve students in som e way, as the cam pus new spaper. But as a staff, we have to a d d r e s s th e q u e s tio n o f w hy w e’re publishing a new spaper and why people get involved b ecause they see th e re ’s so m e th in g w ro n g in th e w orld. T h ere a re th in g s th a t a re d o n e b eh in d closed d o o rs a n d are su p p o se d to be d o n e in th e op en . T h e re a re th in g s th a t g o v ern m e n ts d o w hich are u n ju st a n d m o rally in c o r­ rect. W e believe these th in g s req u ire n e w sp a p ers to ex p o se th em . Being a g e n ts o f so cial c h a n g e m eans to c h a n g e th o se th in g s. T h e best w ay we ca n d o th a t is by le ttin g peo p le kn o w w h a t’j , h ap p e n in g .

B L A N C : S o it d o e sn ’t m ean that the

DA IL Y s ta ff adheres to any particular ideology?

• N E R E N B E R G : N o, it d o e sn ’t m ean th a t. As fa r as w h at y ou said earlier, th e Daily h as alw ay s had a h isto ry o f being very political. A n d , if an y th in g , this y ear w e’ve b ro a d e n e d , a n d w e’ve dilu ted th e p o litics a little. 1 d o n ’t th in k it is a new th in g w ith the Daily. N ot at all.

F L IN T : Y o u ’ve g o t to look at th e his­ to ry o f it. T h e D aily w as fo u n d e d in 1911 by M u rra y Hill an d S tep h e n L ea­ co ck , w ho w ere p a rt o f a b u n ch o f c a m ­ p u s radicals.. T h e ir idea fo r fo u n d in g a d aily n e w sp a p e r w as n o t to p ro v id e p u b lic ity fo r th e u n iversity. T h e ir p u r­ p o se w as to c re ate a jo u r n a l o f freeth o u g h t fo r th e a d v a n c e m e n t o f freeth in k in g ideas at M cG ill. In 1911, th a t w as a fairly rad ic al co n c e p t. A nd th r o u g h o u t its h isto ry a n d different stag es, th e D aily has te n d e d to be n o t so m uch an ideological n ew sp a p er, b u t an ic o n o c la stic n ew sp a p er. If y ou lo o k at

th e la te 1960s, th e p o litics w ere a lot m o re h a r d - lin e th a n th ey are now . In th e early 70s, th e p a p e r to o k a d ecid ed ly M a rx ist-L e n in ist o rie n ta tio n .

N E R E N B E R G : In 1972, it w as a c tu a lly ru n by m em b ers o f th e C o m m u n ist P arty o f C a n a d a (M a rx ist-L e n in ist).

F L I N T : A n d w e ’ve g o n e t h r o u g h c h a n g es since th e n . I d o n ’t th in k th a t th e re ’s been an y big p o litical sh ift in th e last th re e o r fo u r years. T h e big ch an g e th is y ea r, I th in k , has been m o re th a n a n y th in g else th a t w e’ve b ran c h ed o u t o n o u r co v e rag e a n d trie d to co v e r m o re city issues; m o re o f th e k ind o f th in g th a t th e c o m m ercial press a re co v erin g , an d we’ve m oved aw ay fro m M cG ill U n iv er­ sity cov erag e only.

B L A N C : Further on under clause 2.1,

y o u say that the DA IL Y “shall support groups serving as agents o f social change. " W hat does that mean? Who do yo u support, precisely?

F L IN T : P recisely? W ell, w h at we m ean th e re , an d I guess it re a lly a p p lies to c a m p u s m o re th a n a n y th in g else, is th a t we try to su p p o rt p eo p le w h o a re try in g to d o th e sam e th in g as we are. It m ean s th a t we s u p p o rt th in g s like th e w o m en ’s m o v e m en t. It m ean s th a t we s u p p o rt th e e ffo rts o f d isa rm a m e n t g ro u p s. A g ain , ‘s u p p o r t’ is a very v ag u e term . It d o e sn ’t m ean w e give th em m oney. It d o e s n ’t m ean we give th e m necessarily p ro m o ­ tio n a l p u b licity . It m eans w e’ll cover th e m ; m o re th a n a n y th in g else. B ecause co v e rag e is s u p p o rt. A n d o b v io u sly , like a n y n e w sp a p e r, we m ak e a p o litical choice w hen we co v er things.

B L A N C : In reference to y o u r statem ent

to the effect that y o u wish to assist stu ­ dents in understanding a n d resisting exp lo ita tio n and injustice, what do y o u m a ke o f p rotests like those o f one reader who c o m m en ted by let ter on your decis-

ion to reject publication o f an a d fo r the Canadian A rm e d Forces by saying that it is up to readers to judge right fr o m wrong, a n d that y o u sh o u ld be m ore abjective?

F L IN T : W e p u b lish ed th a t ad an d th e n d ecid ed th a t in th e fu tu re we w o u ld n ’t p u b lish it.

B L A N C : Okay. So how do yo u react to

charges o f being biased?

F L IN T : Well-, it’s tru e. W e’re biased.

T h e o th e r th in g to rem e m b er is th a t o u r rea d ers a re n o t m o ro n s. P artic u larly a t th e u n iv e rsity , w e’re d e a lin g w ith a fairly in tellig en t p o p u la tio n . People d o n ’t believe n ecessarily w h a t th ey read.

It w o u ld be aw fu l if th e y did. P eo p le ha.ve a critical m ind. T h ey d o n ’t necessa­ rily believe w h at we say.

B L A N C : A ll right, so you're honest about being biased. " You m ake your

political decisions according to what precise set o f criteria?

F L IN T : W ell o u r m o st im p o rta n t c rite ­ rio n is th a t th e sta ff m a k e th e decisions.

B L A N C : Let's m ove on to another ad.

This is the case involving the De Beers d ia m o n d engagem ent ring (D A IL Y , Oi l. 14, 1982) which co n stitu ted a p ro ­ m o tio n o f a S o u th A frican corporative product. The pro b lem is what the Pro­ duction Night S ta ff p rin te d above the ad, which was quite large: “A technica­ lity in our contract w ith a Torontobased advertising cooperative prevents us fr o m ya n kin g it out w ithout a fa irly m ajor fin a n cia l penalty. " In clause 2.2 o f the Daily Publications Society's first B y-L a w .it is written: “ This paper shall use its freed o m fr o m com m ercial and other controls to ensure that what it does is consistent with its m ajor objec­ tive," which is to be an agent o f social change. Now, either y o u are co m m itted to the abolition o f apartheid a n d will therefore risk that fin a n c ia l penalty, or vou’re not.

B L A N C : In the D A I L Y issue prior to

this interview, the issue o f October 22,

M oira A m brose signed a co m m ent titled ‘Execs Stifle Politics' in which she w rote that three student Executives in particular were afraid o f political m o ve­ m en t because it m eans change,’ "and change m eans possible alterations in the system they now run. ” Does the DA IL Y have any suggestions fo r changing the student governm ental stucture?

B L A N C : Going back to the D A I L Y ,

what a b out the n o tio n that the organ­ ized critics o f p o w er really want pow er f o r themselves?

F L IN T : W e’re W riters, an d we believe in raisin g criticism so th a t peo p le can m ake th e ir ow n m in d s up fo r them selves.

W hen we say we believe in social c h a n g e, I th in k a fu n d a m e n ta l p rin cip le o f o u rs is th a t it’s d e m o c ra tic , o pen an d c o o p e ra tiv e ch an g e.

Tuning In

by Butch Trishman V ery b ew ild ered , I w alk ed stra ig h t h o m e. O n th e w ay, I n o tic ed th a t every p erso n th a t 1 saw h ad a W a lk m a n . By th e tim e I rea ch ed th e g h e tto , 1 w as on th e b rin k o f a b re a k d o w n . In a frenzy, I tu rn e d on th e news: “ F ig h tin g in th e M id e ast has h alted .

A co llec tio n o f b o o tle g S to n e s ta p es is being cre d ited fo r th e cease-fire.”

“T h ese th in g s a re ev e ry w h e re ,” I th o u g h t.

T h e a n c h o rm a n c o n tin u e d : “ U n em ­ p lo y m e n t fig u res fo r O c to b e r w ere released to d a y . F o r th e first tim e in 12 y ears, u n e m p lo y m e n t declined by m o re th a t 1.5% in a single m o n th .

H e w ent on: “ S u p p o rt is g a th e rin g fo r th e ‘R efu se th e C ru ise’ rally in A lb erta.

T h e bell ra n g an d I sn a p p e d back to reality . W alk in g th ro u g h L eacock I saw a frien d o f m ine. “ H ea r a b o u t th is T y len o l th in g ?” he said. “ It’s a m a z in g w h at so m e p eo p le will d o sim ply b ecau se th ey d o n ’t have fresh b a tte rie s,” 1 replied. “ W h a t’s th a t? ” he said.

“J u s t a th e o ry ,” 1 said.

N eedless to say, 1 w as sh o c k e d . “ I’m p ay in g g o o d m oney to be e d u c a te d ,” I th o u g h t.
