Deigle Wins Debates

by Colin McGregor Another McGill student has proven himself the best in the nation at his chosen activity. This time, it’s in French Debating; the man, Eymund Deigle.

Eymund took first place individual speaker at the French National Debat­ ing Championships, held in Montreal recently. His fiery wit and razorlike French tongue carried him to the top of the heap by compiling an astronomical number of speakers points, beating out his nearest rivals for the prize by leaps and bounds. Together with his able partner, Patrick Gagnon, this top McGill team made it to the semi-finals before being edged out by a Military College team in a heartbreaking squeaker o f a decision.

“Ace” Bailey was n ot there.

Eymund was characteristically hum­ ble when interviewed after his tremend­ ous victory, citing McGill Debating Union training and regular vitamin supplements as reasons for his triumph.

Unfortunately this will be his final semester debating for McGill. He is packing it up upon completion of his degree this semester, and will be pursu­ ing a graduate degree in sunny, strife­ laden South Africa come January.

Eymund is 21 and left-handed.

McGill Christmas Wishes Report by Patrick Baillie Photos by Tamara TarasofT If you had one wish, as a Christmas present for the University, what would that wish be?

During the past few days, that ques­ tion was posed to a number of McGill students and administrators. Usually the response was a chuckle, followed by a reflective pause, then a considered reply. In some cases, the thought pro­ cess was brief, in others prolonged, but either way, the answers to The Tribune Christmas Wish are provided below.

While a psychologist might have some­ thing to say about a few of those questi­ oned, we simply publish the results for your enjoyment.

“to cover our deficit to perpetuity”

—Dr. David L. Johnston, Principal and Vice-Chancellor

“for continuing faith in the worth of McGill and the institution of higher learning that it is... that’s appropriate for Christmas, the idea of faith”

—Chief Judge Alan B. Gold, former Chairman, McGill University Board of Governors

McGill’s Student Society will leap into the computer age when the once co m p le x and b u re a u c ra tic ro o m reservation system is simplified im­ mensely next semester thanks to a gift from the McGill Associates and a pro­ gram prepared in the Faculty of Manage­ ment.

The program (McGill Room Booking System) originally a commerce class project in micro-computers allows for room s to be reserved and confirmed on the spot instead of the usual confirma­ tion period which ended a month before the room was booked-for. The program flags conflicts in rooms and dates, as well it provides an up-tp-date availabil­ ity check for any date and time. With a terminal at the front desk of the Student Society General Office and another in the Food and Beverage Operation, both hooked up to a main micro-computer, information can be relayed to all the proper authorities within the Student Society. Previously, much of this work had to be done by the person applying for a room thus it involved a great deal of running-around and a mass of paper­ work to be done. Even having accom p­ lished this the Student Society had trouble relating the information from one section to another to check-up on the room-applicant. With M .R .B .S. a check and double-check is as close as your fingertips.

M .R .B .S . will be able to more pre­ cisely match an event to a room (thus your party for 15 will not feel alone in the palatial Union Ballroom or out-ofplace in the Cafeteria.) M .R .B.S. will also provide information on set-up and food requirements. The rooms will now come properly furnished with the cor­

rect chairs and tables while Food and Beverage will know what to expect in food requests. The system is now being generalized so that it could be used by any school or university. The Student Society plans to market the system at the basic price of the disc on which the program is stored to schools and univer­ sities for their own room-booking servi­ ces. The system is currently being pro­ grammed, the bugs are targeted to be ironed-out by January and the target date for the Student Society to be on­ line is the first of February, 1983.

The amazing part of this new system is that it is being developed not through student-supplied funds but through the generousity of the McGill Associates.

Who are the McGill Associates? They are a group of M ontreal businessmen who did n ot attend McGill but who think that McGill is an integral part of Montreal and wish to keep-up the high standards of excellence which are McGill’s reputation. The Associates consist of such influential businessmen as the Vice-President of the Royal Bank and the C hairm an o f Steinberg’s Limited. Through their donations, the members support various areas of the University which are deemed to be in need. A certain amount is assigned to certain activities every year. $3,500 was given to the Student Society to buy the 2 new terminals and their associated paraphernalia.

Through the generosity of these phil­ anthropic members of Montreal’s busi­ ness community, the students of McGill will be able to arrange and make roombookings with ease and the Student Society will be able to operate that much more efficiently.

“for a large endowment fund to be devoted to increasing the collections and services available in our presently excellent library system”

—Dr. S.O. Freedman, Vice-Principal (Academic)

“for a woman Principal at McGill, before the year 2000”

—Dr. K. Sibbald, Acting Dean of Students

“for a degree audit system and the advantages that would bring 'to the advising system all the way across cam­ pus... I’d like that in my stocking”

—J.P . Schuller, Registrar “that on Christmas Eve, the skies would open up and all the needy students would have their pockets filled with enough financial assistance to carry them through this Christmas season and into the New Year”

—Ms. Judy Stymest, Director, Student Aid Office

RECORDS: Christmas Picks

by Dan Pope

S u rv iv al Peter Gabriel G effen R eco rd s T he tim e I lik e is th e ru sh h o u r ca u se I lik e th e rush T he p u sh in g o f th e p e o p le I lik e it a ll s o m u ch First off, I’m sure that Peter Gabriel didn’t want this album to have the name Survival. Nowhere on the cover or album jacket does the name appear. As with his earlier three albums he probably wanted this one to be named P eter G a b r ie l also -the understated ambiguity and down­ right con fu sion o f nam ing four albums the same title seems somehow to fit into Gabriel’s hectic scheme. 1 suppose the record company made him consent to stick a little tag onto the cellophane that said S u rvival for clarity’s sake.

From the opening jungle beat of “ Rhythm of the Heat”, hypnotic, fev­ erishly accelerating, you know im­ mediately that you are in the spell of Peter Gabriel’s raging, nightmarish vision. Throughout, the songs alter­ nate from fast to slow, restless to con­ trolled, never giving the listener the chance to find consistency, a settled pattern to relax into. He keeps us muscially uncertain, going from hec­ tic African rhythms on “ Rhythm of the Heat” to the sweet sound of chimes set against the soft, melodic vocals of “San Jacin to;” from the pounding, almost disco beat of “Shock the Monkey” to the wander­ ing, monotones of “ Lay Your Hands on Me.” Gabriel is at his best when he is at his most complex; T he L a m b L ies D ow n o n B ro a d w a y and its wander1ing, unattainable “story” of Rael is no doubt the finest Genesis album (the o l d Genesis, that is) because Gabriel musically created a plot which was too strange to make sense out of— yet it succeeds in its captivat­ ing unaccessibility. S u rv iv al and his last album, P eter G a b r ie l (III) suc­ ceed on the same level of complexity.

I like it when Gabriel says M a k e th e m o n k e y blin d, c o v e r m e darlin g p le a s e , m o n k ey , m o n k ey , m onkey...', 1 like it partly because 1 don’t have a clue what he’s saying, and mostly

because of the exciting polyrhythms which give his music its wholly origi­ nal quality. (The musicianship, of course, is flawless as usual— steady Tony Levin on bass stick and Jerry M orotta on drums in particular give the rhythm section its undeniable power.)

As with David Byrne, Eno, and other progressive musicians today, Gabriel’s work shows the pressing influence of African polyrhythms.

Gabriel even delves thematically into African soils (as with “ Biko” on his last album) and seems fascinated by the spiritual joining with uncorrupted land: T he la n d h e r e is stron g S tro n g b en e a th m y f e e t it f e e d s o n th e b lo o d it f e e d s o n th e h eat Gabriel is on foreign ground here, innovative, hypnotic, a style as orig­ inal and distinct as could be found, as musically complex and artisically challenging as any could hope to be.

Definitely a Christmas pick— but not for Grandma or 12-year-old Benjie.

able rhythms for a patented, M Otownstyle that never fails. This is material that a.m. D .J.’s and record compan­ ies dream of, material that attracts 13-year-old girls and boys alike. He even wrote a fairly tender torch song with “ I Can Let Go Now”— the kind of song Burt Bacharach or Carole Bayer Sager would love to get a hold of.

Sleek, polished, sometimes jazzy, M cDonald has got pop music down to an art. Maybe that’s why everyone is imitating him. But someone’s got to get that frog out of his throat.

A ctin g Very S tran g e Mike Rutherford A tlan tic R eco rd s Mike Rutherford, bassist and gui­ tarist of Genesis, has released another disappointing solo album. It’s disap­ pointing because (as my high school

I f T h at’s W hat It T akes Michael McDonald W arner Brs. A while back 1 asked the Murphy sisters, Cate and M argaret, what the female record-buying public seem to see in Michael M cDonald. Cate said it was “in the eyes”, while Margaret insisted the attraction lay in the soft, dark hairs of M cDonald’s prominent beard. Personally, he seems to me a short, fairly squat fellow who sings with a noticeable frog in is throat.

Nevertheless, McDonald proves once and for all with this longawaited solo release that he is pres­ ently master of state-of-the-art pop music. (C hristopher Cross may argue.) M cDonald was never really meant to be a Doobie Brother. Even the name of that group clashes with M cDonald’s conservative, preppie image. On his own he seems more free to vent his own creative impulses, away from the rock and roll urgings of the Doobies.

Consistently singing about rom­ ance, love, devotion, to infectuous pop beats, McDonald mixes choppy piano licks and syncopated dance-

teachers so often wrote) he has a good deal of potential that never seems to surface. The album opens with the bouncy, powerful “Acting Very Strange”, as good a song that Rutherford ever wrote for Genesis.

But this is the peak— we see no more of Rutherford’s “potential” as the fol­ lowing songs wallow. He gets lost in an over-produced mess of dubbed-in guitars, droning synthesizers, whiny vocals. Police drummer Stewart Cope­ land helps where he can, where he has something to set off (as in the title cut), but he too seems to get absorbed in the wallow. F o r one thing, Ruther­ ford’s songs are all too long; the eight songs on the album seem to go on indefinitely, never ending when they should, always beating a dead horse into submission.

1 don’t want to be too hard on Rutherford. There’s a lot of good moments here— “Couldn’t Get Ar­ rested” succeeds in the same energetic vein of the title cut— but overall the songs don’t really cohere. It would be easy to tell him to stick to Genesis, and maybe he should— but there’s a lot of evidence here to show that he could successfully break away from his band’s “art-rock” tradition, and come up with some good, yet more simple, Police-like music. Ruther­ ford should keep his solo efforts in mind, especially if Phil Collins packs it in on Genesis, as some rumours have it. Hell, Gabriel did it.

A Broad’s Head Revisited

by Nancy Martin It’s almost Christmas! “Christ­ mas” is such a very beautiful word, especially when you let it whisper from your mouth with the sort of awe and anticipation you felt when you were four years old. It still deserves that respect and wonder. The essence of Christmas has not changed, and will not. It is only our interpretation that colours it with commercialism, and d isap p o in tm en t m asked as contempt.

F o r weeks I’ve been preparing for this year’s celebration of joy, love and hope. Now I’m marking off the days till the night of the 23rd when I’ll board the train and join the hoards of Maritimers, flocking from all over the country to fulfill the year-long dream: to be home for Christmas.

I’ll be on that train all night as it rolls along the St. Lawrence, and most of the next day, as we slide down New Brunswick’s east coast.

Then an hour on a smaller train will deliver me to my own little village, late in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. With bags and bundles overflow­ ing my arms and dangling from my fingers. I’ll alight into the arms of my family, and, standing on the tiny plat­ form, surrounded by snow-covered elm trees. I’ll marvel at the joy of being in what I consider to be the most beautiful place in the world.

Giddy over being together again, we’ll drive the two miles into the country to our lovely little house, where the cupboards and closets will be bulging with homemade cooking and gifts. A few treasured ornaments will be waiting for me to hang on the tree, so I won’t have com pletely missed the trimming. At a neigh­ bour’s house will be a tiny kitten, to be fetched on Christmas day for our mother. We want to try to fill the gap

left when our beautiful tortoise-shell, M artha, finally died this fall, after having had her picture taken under the tree for the last 12 Christmases.

M artha won’t be there, but we’ll have a wee furry stranger to knock over the tree, and pee on the presents.

Christmas morning we’ll rouse each other (grumbling, complaining, and pretending to be angry about get­ ting up so early) out of bed, empty our stockings, and eat the mandatory breakfast before we can open our gifts.

The day will be filled with relatives, laughter and hugging, and so much food that we’ll be taking turns sneak­ ing off for naps. We’ll see the friends we can see only at Christmas, when we all come home. We’ll sing carols, and, as usual, my sister will be the only one on key, and will bravely try to haul us along with her. And each one of us will take a little time to sit and think of Christmases past. I’m sure that I’ll stop to revel in the memory of my favourite Christmas gift of all time: when I was three, 1 received a beautiful white angora hat with little kitten ears. I’m not sure why it was so special to me, but all day long I wandered around, strok­ ing the angora against my chubby little face, and feeling like the most privileged person alive.

I’m also sure that each of us, at some time during the day, will take a few minutes to say a prayer for those who are with us only in memory.

My Christmas will be very, very special. We’re the sort of family that works very hard to make it special for each other.

My wish for you is that you will open your arms and mind and heart and make Christmas a wondrous and joyful time for the people that you love, and therefore for yourself.

Auto Information Part Two of the Legal Aid Clinic’s article on Automobile Information will appear in our first issue next semester.

They will continue discussing some of the problems students encounter if they own a car.

The Legal Aid Clinic will be closed from December 3rd this year to early next semester. In case of emergency, go see a lawyer but you can also leave mes­ sages on their answering machine.

Ya Gotta Have Heart

ke^

by Ace Baker

Dammit.

I h a d been really looking forward to this day. Y’see this is the Christmas issue, and after following Redmen basketball all semester I had prepared a lengthy and joyous Christmas carol about the team (called ‘Jingle Balls’) just for you sports fans, my lifeblood and inspiration.

But 1 can’t lie to you sports fans. Things at this time aren’t very joyous. In fact alot of people might describe them as grim. The dream-team of ’82 has started off with a November nightmare. Their record to this writing stands at a dismal 6 -9 — not exactly Cl AU top-ten material— not exactly thrilling for a team that had realistically aspired to an early top 5 ranking that they might’ve held for the duration, knockin’em off as they com e...Yes, disappoint is the general sentiment— undoubtedly on the part of the fans, coaches and players.

So what’s the problem? It’s still a little too early to be cut-and-dry. But I have my suspicions. We need a case study.

Last weekends Carleton U. Invitational Tournament will suffice— an all too familiar catastrophe. In case you haven’t heard, the Redmen lost the first game 78-71 to Calgary, after being ahead by 8 at one point in the second half. The errors that immediately come to mind from this game were the missed foul shots in the late stages, and allowing one opposition player (all-Canadian Calgary forward Tilson) to score 40 pts.

In the second and final Redmen game of the tournament, McGil was utterly d e s t r o y e d by Carleton, 97-70, in a game that saw our guys open the floodgates in the early going. N in ety-seven points— o u c h !

I tell ya, sports fans, this type of performance has, in the space of a month, become more the norm than the exception. Sure, there was the Ottawa U. to tournament victory, and the big comeback win vs. Lehigh (Pennsylvania NCAA Division I school), but the thrill of victory fades quickly from memory in the agony of defeat— especially when the defeats are at the hands of unranked, weaker teams in our own backyard.

The initial CIA U rankings came out Dec. 3. The Redmen were ranked 10th.

Pre-season play is vital because it determines these rankings, which never fluctuate much once the regular season starts because the games are contained to divisional play.

In fact, the preseason is even m o r e important this year, due to the dropping of the divisional playoff— replaced by a scenario whereby the 1st place team advances to the nationals, plus 5 ‘wild card’ teams, ie. the remaining teams on the CIAU list, inorder.

Thus it seems that the now sure-to-be-unranked Redmen must either win their div­ ision, or hope for other big preseason upsets, in order to advance to post-season play.

So its time for some analysis here. At this joyful time of year it just wouldn’t be in the Yuletide spirit to go dumping on anyone— but there are definitely problems. So let’s do this little study categorically, looking at areas where the Redmen might need some improvement: 1. Talent-Ability— Nope, not here. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Man for man this team is dynamite, and stacks up to any team in the country. They’re in excellent condition, and the skills are there. Believe it. H owever, it unfortunately takes alot more than mere talent to win ball gam es...(‘yes you gotta have heart, miles and miles and miles of heart...’). Other areas are obviously suffering, for instance 2. Attitude— Y’see this great confidence, self-assuredness, ex ce ss of talent can feed an attitude that believes merely walking on the court is enough for a win. Without singling out blame, perhaps the new recruits - the rookies, are the most susceptible to this. The majority of them come from past teams of reigning dynasty— these guys aren’t accustomed to losing games, and thereby learning from experience, like the hardened vets are. Whatever the case may be, a problem with attitude means a problem with 3. Intensity. Y’see intensity, or lack thereof, is what allows the Divids of the CIAU to beat the Goliaths. A team lacking intensity will often illustrate selfish, sloppy, irresponsible, immature, and lacklustre play. If you don’t know what I mean, then you obviously weren’t at the Carleton game, or any other Redmen game of late. Any team is allowed a bad game here or there, but a consistent lack of intensity often has peculiar and lasting side-effects. One notable one is a breakdown in 4. Communication. Y ’see talent aside, communication has got to be the most fundamentally important element to a good defense. Recent McGill losses have been wide open, end-to-end, running-gunning festivals in which the red-and-white eventu­ ally fell behind the pace. When the opposition runs up 97 pts., you can’t go knockin’ the offense. Conclusion: the defense sucks. Reason: no communication. Here one may witness anxious, almost nervous individuals, refusing responsibility, and playing in a fashion more concerned with ‘self than with the concept of 5. Team. Y ’see team has to be a unit. Five players on the court, co-ordinated, thinking, executing as one. Sure, even in this column there’s been previous mention of individuals: Sam “thethrill” Hill, Owen “silk” Officer, Willy “the franchise” H inz.etc.

These names are coined to commend the achievements of individuals - their efforts are, for the most part, what makes the game exciting to the spectator. But these individual efforts must extend from the ‘team’ like fingers from the hand. It is evident that all fifteen players are well aware of this— none would have reached this level without proving himself as a team com petitor...but then again, perhaps a subtle reminder now and then (to all fifteen) is healthy.

Alright sports fans, know that this little critique is intended constructively all the way— now that y ou 're aware of some of the possible problem areas, you’ll know what to look for and d e m a n d from your Redmen—a little heat on these guys might be just what they need...to find the ‘heart’ to live up to their potential.

P.S. Merry Christmas.

TTHasato® '3araû&i LHIcBanllhceir IBDmmdlcBllD ‘GOD OF VENGEANCE’ The McGill Players’ production of Sholem Asch’s ‘G od o f Vengeance’ was perhaps their most challenging play yet. However, if their preview showing was any indication, Josh Morris was equal to the task. A fine actor and singer, Mr. Morris has shown us that he can also take controversial and powerfully dramatic material and put on a show that literally electrifies the audience.

The author of the play, Sholem Asch (1880-1957), was the first Yiddish author to gain much popularity throughout the country, during the 40’s and 50’s. And it was ‘G od o f Vengeance’ which established his international reputation. This play was, for its time, a highly controversial piece of work. M r. Asch was, at one time, even advised to burn it. And during the 1940’s, he forbade further production of it.

The age-old theme of “the sins of the father are passed on to each generation...” runs throughout this play. As the play develops, Yankel’s daughter, Rivkele, falls more and more in love (and it is not a platonic love) with one of the young prostitutes below, Manke. Manke is also in love with the young girl. In the middle of the night, they run away to the house of a would-be-pimp and his girlfriend, an older and more expe­ rienced whore (Shloyme and Hindi).

The star of the show is, of course, Yankel, who was well played by Richard Bauer.

Although he bellowed a little too loudly at times, he did his role justice. His portrayal as an almost madman was well done. His wife was played by Rhona Frame, who did a marvelous portrayal of a respectable Jewish mother who was once not so respectable.

At some points in the play, her speech is a bit hurried, however, her facial expressions were perfect. One also had to sympathize her as she was constantly being thrown to the floor, sometimes quite roughly, by her husband.

The daughter, Rivkele, was played with just that right touch of innocence by Jennifer Schipper. Miss Schipper’s expressions and gestures were appropriate for her role. Her scene with her friend, Manke (played by Ava Rave) as they steal a few caresses and kisses in the middle of the night, was played by both actresses with the perfect touch of sensitivity, not to mention sensuality. This was most probably one of the most controversial scenes that had the public of the 20’s and 30’s up in arms.

Michael Wener played the “wicked” role of Shloyme, the pimp, with gusto. He seemed to enjoy his role, even though he forgot himself at one point and used the expression “jerk” when telling off Yankel. I don’t know if that would be the expression commonly used during the time that Sholem Asch wrote. His girlfriend, Hindi, was

Tuesday, December 7, 1982

played by Victoria Littman. She was a little slow, in the beginning, to develop her character, but when she made her speech about wanting to become a respectable woman like Sore, and bring up proper Jewish children, like Rivkele, she was marve­ lous. Here, we see another recurring theme in the play, that of the prostitute trying to reform but realizing that she won’t ever be able to. You get the feeling that the author is trying to say ‘once a whore, always a whore’. If changes are made materially (ie. a nice house, a married name), she is still a whore at heart.

The play, on the whole, was well-chosen and well-done. Josh Morris directed a fine cast of actors and actresses. ‘G od o f Vengeance' will run until December 11th. For more information, call the players’ theatre at 392-8989. ♦COMING EVENTS* The McGill Players Dance Ensemble presents “The Dancer and The Dance”, from Dec. 14-18.

International Christmas

by Leigh Melinyshyn The holidays are approaching! What a perfect opportunity to step back a few steps from our studies and see them in the context of the world around us, to meet and appreciate people, to enjoy the beauty of a December morning. Canada indeed has much to offer and we would like to share some of its joys with you!

Imagine spending a week in the beau­ tiful Northern Ontario woodlands, awakening to the chirping of the birds, a shaft of sunlight streaming through the crisp winter air, looking forward to a good hot breakfast with friends around the table...Now imagine spending the day learning how to ski, snowshoe, or make a natural craft, perhaps going together to a walk through the forest or just relaxing in quiet meditation. After an evening of laughter and song around the campfire, it will be time to get a good night’s sleep and look forward to the coming day - its experiences and friend­ ships.

Around the world, Christmas is one of the most meaningful holidays of the year. In Canada, families draw together to celebrate by decorating a Christmas tree, singing carols, exchanging gifts and eating the traditional Christmas dinner. At university, most Canadian students go home for the holiday period.

International Christmas provides a fam­ ily atmosphere for those from other countries who would be alone and away from their families at this very special time of year. Students from every conti­

nent and the world religions are invited to join one another in a beautiful setting north of Toronto, to make new friends and gain a special insight into life in Canada.

This is a week sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a Chris­ tian organization linking students to­ gether all over the world, welcoming students of all religions and beliefs. If you are interested in going, in participat­ ing in “International Christmas”, from Wed. Dec. 22 to Dec. 27, just pick up further information and the registration form in the Student Union Building, 3480 McTavish St., in the International Student’s Association room - B 15. See you there!

The International Student’s Associa­ tion of McGill extends a warm invita­ tion to all McGill International Stu­ dents to come to International Christ­ mas, and to get involved in other upcoming activities. We have already enjoyed many parties, meetings, dances, films, discussions, receptions, including our most recent “Cultural Evening” of international music and song and food talent and entertainment provided by our own student’s! During Winter Car­ nival Week we will be holding “Interna­ tional Festival” - an extravaganza of world-wide food, entertainment and displays - it will be a fantastic day! So please come down any time to the I.S. A. Drop-In-Centre (Union B 15) and find out what we’re all about!

“That the University should buy the Constellation Hotel and renovate the rooms for students” “for straight A’s to all those students who have invested in the Tutorial Service” “for a print magnifier installed in the library by the end of January for the visually handicapped students” —Mrs. M. Aikens, Co-ordinator, OffCampus Housing, Tutorial Service, Handicapped Students

Tuesday’s Child

by A drienne Jo nes

by Adrienne Jones Carolyn Stamegna could write the book on time management. A U3 Marketing major, she began her impressive extra-curricular career in her first year at McGill.

She joined The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, of which she is now president, and became quickly involved in the community and social activities this group runs throughout the vear Welcome Week Co-Chairperson, she was given the position and a bottle of Valium to get her through the summer o f’81. She stayed on with the Program Board (the organization that oversees Welcome Week) even after her duties were officially complete, taking over the job of co-ordinating volunteers for the other Program Board events. Then ‘Old McGill’, the university yearbook was in need of an editor, and Carolyn, although not totally confident that she could handle it, nevertheless applied and was given the position.

There is no lack of self-confidence now. She knows what she wants from the yearbook and appears determined to get it: “We want to make it as visually entertaining as possible...a lot of graphics, use colour in different ways, make it artistically appealing. With a staff of twenty, Carolyn is making the necessary preparations for the crunch in January and February when most of the lay-out work has to be done. The number of graduates' who will appear in the 1982-83 edition is only slightly higher than last year. The reasons?

“Last year’s staff told us to expect about two-hundred more graduate photos, that seems to be the general rule of thumb...This was not the case... May be the advertis­ ing campaign wasn’t effective, or maybe its the economy, people just don’t have the money...”

Carolyn is a serious student looking forward furthering her education in an M .B.A.-L.L.B. program, so studying takes a lot of her time, as does working part-time but she does try to get in some skiing, tennis and a few moments to design and sew her own clothes. She truly loves her work with ‘Old McGill’ because “I simply enjoy doing lay-out and graphic design.”

FINAL NOTE: If Carolyn had it to do all over again, she says; “I’d do it again.

Absolutely. Extra-curricular involvement has helped me learn to utilize my time to the fullest, developed my organizational and communication skills,...its been a great experience. And you know what they say, if you want something done give it to a busy person.”

Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah, See you all next year.

A Look Back

Sports Spots Sports Shots!

Bob Dubeau, Director of Athletics at McGill has been named Chef de Mission for the Canadian Team at the 1983 World University Student Games in Edmonton next summer.

Rowing coup: The Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, traditionally held at St. Catherines, Ont., since time immemor­ ial, has been slated for the Montreal Olympic Basin for 1985.

Scholarly types: More than 72% of national and carded athletes are full and part-time students at Canadians Uni­ versities, according to Paul Dupre, senior consultant with Sport Canada.

Basketball champs: Effective this sea­ son, there will be an NCAA-style playoff tournament system leading -up to the 1983 CIAU men’s basketball championships. Three four-team re­ gional tournaments will be staged with the winner of each and the host confer­ ence champion advancing to the fourteam “final four” national champion­ ships, at the University of Waterloo (March 19,20 tentatively).

Athletic awards are officially defined as “any benefit, whether by way of finan­ cial consideration, tuition waiver, hous­ ing, food allowances, expenses or any other benefit offered to a student-athlete participating in interuniversity athlet­ ics”. Awards are split into two catego­ ries: national agency and/or govern­ ment awards (no $ limit), and institu­ tional award (maximum $1000). A detailed reporting system has been set up to be implemented with the 1982-83 season; penalties for violation of the rules have even been established.

Team o f the M onth: T he M cG ill M artlets

by Glen Cunningham The 1982 chapter of the McGill Foot­ ball Redmen book has been shut. Before opening the new page for 1983, a number of closing thoughts come to mind.

This year’s team had to feel proud in the realization of their objective for 1982, a winning season. We all may have lost sight of the original goal, in mid-season when we began to think with a degree of seriousness that we could take it all.

Grantland Rice provided us with a pathway to new concept and outlook with a poetic view of the game and what it represents to us all. The McGill Redmen Team o f ’82 would have made the man proud; no more so than Head Coach Charlie Baillie, who although admits it wasn’t a great season as far as won and lost record is concerned, offers the view this year’s team should feel very good about itself, in carrying itself with class and distinction unparallelled at the collegiate level.

The character of McGill has always been the hallmark of its teams and never better or more accurately illustrated than under the regime of Coach Baillie who, is more than a football coach to the Redmen. Baillie is a molder of men, blending the talents of each to the opti­ mum degree so as to allow for the Red­ men to traditionally perform beyond the sum of its parts. No greater tribute can be offered.

It would be foolhardy and journalisti­ cally irresponsible to suggest that differ­ ences of opinion do not surface between players and coaches from time to time.

The amount of time between those

splashes and the height of the wave are what determine the camaraderie to be felt on any team. Most teams hear the rumbling of the tide throughout the year. A scant rippling may have broken the surface to allow for realism and nothing more on the Redmen.

It is time to say so long to some Red­ men who have given so much for the cause. That is a difficult chore for anyone and when the moment came for Coach Baillie’s somber and heartfelt words to his retiring veterans at the Team’s annual social, the meaning of being among the ranks of the McGill Redmen football team took on an even greater significance.

There wasn’t a person in the room who didn’t wish for that special bitters­ weet moment when the Coach acknowl­ edged the passing of an era in the lives of the seniors. It was dramatic because it was real. Last act: Final Scene. I would have loved to have had a better part than the role of spectator.

Congratulations are to be extended to the award recipients presented at this year’s Social.
