Student Initiated Referendum Nears Goal by B utch T rischm an T he S tu d en t Initiated R eferendum (S IR ) to m ake paym ent for th e D aily optional has draw n closer to its goal of 500 required signatures. A lthough the pace o f nam e collecting has slowed som ew hat, co-organizer D ave F o rd is rem aining quite confident. “A t the m om ent, we have ab o u t 325 nam es with som e sheets still u n co u n t ed,” said F o rd . “ H opefully we’ll have
500 by next T uesday and a referendum by M arch.” A fter collecting 500 nam es, th e S IR m ust face the C hief R eturning Officer o f th e Daily. T his officer will check all o f th e signatures and m ake a decision as to th e validity o f the protest. If valid, the D aily is perm itted a form al protest. In this case, the m atter w ould be brought to a judicial com m ittee consisting o f 4 law stu d ents and 3 D aily staffers. If the
Birth Control Co-op Offers an Alternative by Brian F orsythe T odd Ja n u a ry heralded the arrival o f a new service to students on th e M cGill cam pus. A Birth C on tro l C o-operative op erated out o f th e W om en’s U nion office in R oom 423 o f the U nion building, opened its doors on th e 24th o f Jan u ary . T he C o-op is designed to provide in expensive b irth co n tro l in a relaxed, in form al, yet inform ative atm osphere. The Co-op is staffed by trained m em bers o f the W om en’s U nion. As well, the M cGill H ealth Service is serving as a “Get well soon Richard and come back to the War!

resource-base for the C o-op. A m em ber o f P lanned P aren th o o d is available for resource inform ation and counselling. T he C o-op, open from 12 to 3 M on day to F riday offers a range o f O rth o an d Ram sey products at prices th at are a mere 5 to 10% above whole-sale prices. T he p ro fit from the sale o f con tracep tives is to be rechannelled into publicity and the purchase o f new supplies. W ith each purchase, a custom er receives a copy o f the Birth C o n tro l H an d b o o k published by the M ontreal H ealth Press. As well as providing contraceptives such as d iaphragm s, cream s, jellies and prophylactics, the C o-op provides coun selling for both men and wom en. T he counselling service includes a referral service to local health centres offering d iaphragm fittings and pregnancy tests. O ffering cheap birth co ntrol in a safe, reliable, yet inform al setting, the Birth C o n tro l C o-operative is sure to be a wel com e ad d ition to the McGill cam pus.

S IR is deemed constitutional by the ju dicial com m ittee, it will becom e a refer endum . A lbert N erenberg, News E d itor o f the D aily viewed the referendum m ovem ent this way: “ I th in k these people are going a b o u t it the w rong way. I don’t think th a t they realize the im plications in volved. Papers aren’t changed by des troying w hat produces them .” T he referendum to m ake paym ent for the D aily o p tional w ould require a sim ple m ajority o f all votes cast providing at least 15% o f the student body votes. F o rd said, “ I th ink we should win if we get 15% o u t to vote. If it does m ake it to referendum , we will get 20 inches of D aily colum n. We w ould use this to en courage people to com e out and vote.” N erenberg suggest the possible fates for the D aily if the referendum did pass. “ I see tw o possible scenarios. O ne would be th at the D aily w ould becom e so inde pendent th at very little m oney would com e from the school. In this case, we w ould become totally detached from M cGill and our revenue would be m ost ly from outside advertising. T he second possibility is th at the paper could only be put out m aybe once a week.” F o rd feels th a t effects are already
being felt by the Daily. “ I think the Daily is getting the hint,” he said. “They’ve been less radical since the peti tion cam e out. If th at were to continue, I w ould see n o reason not to pay dues. They seem to have started w riting news pertaining to cam pus life and th at’s w hat a student new spaper is there for.” Both th e Daily and the students who organized the petition agreed th at any kind of abolition o f the D aily was not the best answer. N erenberg suggested th a t m ore student input w ould be m ore constructive th an posing a referendum . “ I’d like to see m ore people jo in the staff. I’d also like to see a shift from people w orrying about the D aily to people w or rying ab o u t the university. I think th at society is allow ing universities to be com e less relevant, in effect they are being faded out.” It rem ains to be seen w hat kind of lasting effect the SIR will have on the future o f student newspapers at McGill. A nti-D aily backers do not feel satisfied w ith the present publication. The Daily suggests student input as a m eans to ad ap tatio n . T he. way it looks now, it m ight very well be the ’students of M cGill w ho will be deciding the finan cial fate o f the Daily.
David Sinyard:
The Man Behind the Money by B rian F orsythe Todd T his is the third in a series o f interviews with th e executive com m ittee o f the S tudents’ Society. Today we speak with D a v id S in y a r d , V ic e - P r e s id e n t (F in a n c e ), one o f th e tw o executive m em bers elected from the S tu d en ts’ C ouncil. T ribune: C o u ld y o u give us a th u m b nail sketch o f y o u r ow n background p rio r to a n d while at McGill? S inyard: I went to high school in T o ro n to . F ro m there I went to the Univer sity of W estern O n tario for a year. I w ent to w ork at a co nstruction jo b the year before I cam e to McGill. 1 cam e here in J a n u a ry o f 1977 and did a PoliSci degree. D uring the years I was on a num ber o f Senate com m ittees. I was also treasu rer o f the A .S.U .S. in the last year o f my A rts degree. I am currently in my fourth year of a com bined M BA / Law degree. I was on council last year as well as Senate. I’ve done a num ber o f o th er
things; I’ve played rugby and was in volved with the Law Jo u rn al. ' Tribune: W ith the job o fV . P. (Finance) so fa r could y o u p o in t out som e achievem ents, m aybe so m e disappoint ments? Sinyard: I think th a t probably one of the best things we’ve m anaged to do is to m ake everyone assess the long-term im plications of any financial decision. Be th at to put m oney into G ertrude’s or specific functional groups and activities o f the S tudents’ Society. T he S tu d en ts’ Society is pretty well strapped for funds right now. Any type o f investm ent or use o f money is very im p o rtan t because in taking it away from one group and giving it to another, you have to m ake sure th at it’s efficient ly used. If th ere were disappointm ents, it’s be cause I feel in som e ways people get bogged dow n in w hat is the political role for the S tudents’ Society. Is it going out

Pro Static Cling
Anti Static Cling
by Colin M cG regor T he U niversity o f W estern O n tario is spon so rin g a m arch A G A IN ST S tatic Cling. A nd I disapprove! These men are lem m ings—suicidal sm all furry creatures who run into cold puddles o f w ater (in a figurative sense, o f course). Society w ould crum ble into ruin if S tatic Cling were abolished. G overnm ents w ould fall, and we w ould fail to reproduce. They would even cancel Law rence W elk. This is tru e fo r three basic reasons. 1) Sex: N othing is m ore alluring to any red-blooded m ale (heteros, M ark) th an a frilly, clingy négligée. C lingy because it’s w et, you say? W ell, sensual aro u sal com es easily for those in high w ater-table areas, but in th e desert no w ater exists to m ake those nightgow ns ad ap t to the contours o f th e fem ale form . But with S tatic Cling, people in the desert can have wet T-shirt contests too. No longer d o these men have to stay high an d dry! W ith out S tatic C ling there w ould be no aro u sal, an d Bedouins w ould fail to reproduce. T here is a reason why th e S audi governm ent just purchased 6,000 tum ble-dryers, and why proscriptions exist against Cling Free in the K oran. C o n clu sio n —w ithout S tatic Cling, there w ould be no sex. But M r. W eintraub doesn’t care. O u r barnyard friends w ould rem ain unaffected by a ban on S tatic Cling. 2) Energy: M an has harnessed th e e a rth 's rivers an d cataracts to produce energy, but has d o n e nothing a b o u t sources o f energy in th e hom e. F o r exam ple, w hat happens to all o f th a t electricity produced when you pull y o u r clothes a p a rt after they’ve been in the dryer? D oes it ju st vanish into th in air? W hat a tragic w aste. In a w orld where millions starve, and th e first nam e o f th e President o f Egypt is H asni. we need to exploit every possible energy source. T hou san d s o f m iniature turbines could be affixed to clothing in the dryer and used to bring energy to th e w orld’s depressed areas. A noted scientist has calculated th at th e electricity produced by all o f the w orld's starched shirts, if harnessed, could light ru ral B otsw ana for a week. W ho noted him isn’t clear. 3) W orld Peace: S tatic C ling is a force th a t brings people together. In a w orld where A ustralia is counted as a co n tin en t a n d G reen lan d is not, hum anity needs things to destroy th e socio-econom ic cleavages th a t divide us. M ark know s little a b o u t cleavage, but if h e d id he w ould know how desperately we need to be bro u g h t together. W ithout com pu ter d atin g services. S tatic Cling is a cohesive force in o u r society. It m akes people stick to one an o th er, and m akes us stick to o u r clothes. It m akes us stick to walls, ceilings, and th e drapes. Im agine a w orld w ith o u t S ta tic C lin g —how arid an d futile existence w ould be. H ave we lost o u r capacity to cling? As hum ans, are we stifled by th e A pril Fresh Downey C o rp o ra tio n and its lackeys? S tatic Cling is here to stay.

D o n ’t let the nam e fool y a \ No pole-tossing o r bagpipe-blow ing fo r him. He's R ussian to the teeth. And as w e all know , he a n d his kind w ant nothing short o f w orld d o m in atio n , a global Pinko Em pire, and a charge card a t one o f th e better New York dep artm en t stores. They pose the gravest th reat to o u r wives, daughters an d household pets. If they en trap us in the p u trid tentacles o f socialist internationalism , there w on’t be a C o u n try C lu b in t he land w here proper etiq u ette is observed; private tennis co u rts will teem w ith Slavs w earing black socks an d 'Its Better In The C rim ea’ headbands, with M ongols nam ed Boris scream ing “way gone, m e score” an d “great good handback Sergei.” Bone chilling. It’s ju st this n ightm are th a t has sp u rred th e p atrio ts a t th e U niversity o f W estern O ntario. They know th a t S tatic C ling is in fact o n e m ore w rinkle in th e w ithered face of th e Red M enace. They know th a t th e G odless H uns will sto p a t n o th in g to fru strate us. render us m indless au to m ato n s like C olin. F irst pay toilets, then acne, and now S tatic Cling. Its affects o n th e unaw are citizens o f th is land o f liberty are various. T earing a p a rt t hose w ool socks an d silk panties leaves Bill a n d S ue Jo n e s tired an d short-tem pered. T he result, low er productivity in th e w ork place, m arital strife an d th e refusal o f S ue to perform th e Heinleich M aneouver d u rin g sex. As study after study has proven, alcohol an d d ru g abuse follow close behind. H undreds o f tim es daily, m others (those sym bols o f everything honest an d noble an d an noying in this w orld) stagger to the liquor cabinet o r lock them selves in the b ath ro o m w ith a syringe after tussling w ith a load o r tw o o f wash. C red it th o se W estern stu d en ts w ith realizing th a t o u r ‘window o f vulnerability' lies in lau n d ro m at dryers all over this land. No C ollin. S tatic C ling does n o t encourage sex. it creates d ru n k s a n d addicts. And as y o u r b etter th a n an y o n e w ould know , d ru n k s c a n 't even keep th eir eyelids up let alone, an d heroin addicts w ould ra th e r carve th e sanscrit alphabet o n th eir ca t than perform aiiy o f th e am o ro u s duties o f a free citizen. O f co urse none o f th is b o thers th e C om m ies in th e least. In R ussia, sex is centrally planned an d th e G ulag aw aits th e unw illing. The 'C h astity S trikes' o f political dissi dents a re a case in point. R ussians will bed dow n w ith an ything they don’t have to show a ra tio n card for. C ling is officially encouraged and laundry-pulling has been integrat e d into th e m ilitaristic dem ons' m orning drill. It keeps people close and m akes bread-lines m ore com pacted. S tatic cling a vital energy source? S o is th e m ethane from clam burps, so w h at’s the point? The only energy it possesses lies in th e steroid-filled bodies o f th e A siatic hordes who stand behind it, ready to destroy every Bill a n d S u e Freedom in this G od-fearing land o f ours.

A nd th ere is th e secondary debate as to w hether it’s the executive’s problem for do in g this or w hether it’s the average stu d en t w ho w alks aro u n d cam pus. In th a t context 1 don’t think th at as m uch has happened at th e Council level. W e have spent a lot o f tim e consoli d atin g th e position o f S tudents’ Society. W ith a lot o f people th at is not good enough. It’s easy because eveybody sets up w here they a re and they ju st argue w ith jarg o n . W e w ould d o a lot b etter in my o p inion if we could try to change our ap p ro ach a little bit and try to find a com m on view point. But th at by defini tio n is impossible. T h e S .R .C . d ebate last year has forced th e executive to be m ore in volved. It definitely has fostered m ore involvem ent from everyone.

Especially with a diversified g ro u p o f people w ith m any different opinions, it helps to have a lot o f pa tience. It has also helped m e to realize th at you have to sit tight and listen to people and then go on from w hat the other person has said to m ake a deci sion. 1 like to think I knew th at in ad vance but I’ve seen it w ork here.

T he S tu d en t M editation Society of M cGill was created recently by a group o f students practicing T rans cendental M editation to provide a se rious channel th ro u g h w hich stu dents may be properly inform ed of th e hows an d whys o f m editation. Those already practicing meditation will also benefit from the new g roup’s upcom ing program m e, lectures and discussions. A nd alth o u g h m edita tion is a deeply personal experience, everyone can gain by sharing it w ith others and learning m ore a b o u t its features. T M , the m editation technique most thoroughly tested to date, has been aro u n d for over 25 years. Scientific research show s th a t TM im proves the physiological, psychological and so cial life o f practitioners. Its technique is sytem atic, n atu ral, efficient, easy
and pleasurable, and anyone can learn it in a few steps w ith the help of a qualified teacher. A p art from organizing inform a tive sessions and group m editation, th e S tu d en t M editation Society will present lectures by guest speakers from various academ ic fields, who will elaborate on the m anifestations o f n a tu ra l law upon th e ir area o f study. This will prove useful as the laws o f n a tu re also govern the m edit ative process itself.

A nd you have the lucky op p o rtunity, even after this enthusiastic appraisal reaches y o u r ears, to w atch Savoy Society presenting G ilbert & Sulli van’s Yeoman o f the Guard this (the second and final) week in Moyse H all. The Y eoman o f the Guard, con sidered by G ilbert & Sullivan them selves to be their best w ork, is a w onderful, fun, and surprising oper etta perform ed very professionally by an excellent Savoy cast, an d su p p o rt ed by expert m usicians, borrow ed largely from M cGill’s Sym phony O r chestra. Well, now th at I’ve assured you all it’s a great story, let me sim ply ex plain how the m usic, as the m edium , comes off. All o f the individual and solo perform ances are solid and c o m p e te n t—a g a in , really p ro fe s sional. P articularly pow erful are the chorus songs, perform ed by the ‘rab ble’ (the tow nsfolk) perfectly cast, not only as a w ell-coordinated unit, but m oreover as specific individual characters com prising the whole. Sim ilarly enjoyable and impressive is the way each Y eom an is given a per sonality, w ithout ever breaking the

(Internal) or m yself and som eone else to get tw o o r three people to sign it. By virtue o f the V .P. (In tern al)’s posi tion he deals with them a lot m ore th an I do. So I d o n ’t get to see things as they develop. I’m presented with a budget in advance only because I’ve asked for it.

Stop the Presses—Martlets Red Hot by Ace Baker Boy w hatta week. If you haven’t heard, y ou’d better sit dow n spo rts fans, ’coz this one’s gonna blow you aw ay. A re you ready? O f course you’re n o t— I’d better ease into it with The Build-Up: Ever-pow erful Bishops, currently ranked no.2 nationally, hasn’t lost a gam e in 5 yrs. o f regular season play (going 69-0 in th at tim e). C ross-tow n C o n co rd ia, n o .4 in the coun try , has been th e M cGill nem esis for years (even once referred to as a ‘m onkey o n o u r back’). U nw ritten rules o f the QU A A , these were, until Jan. 28, 1983: M cGill M artlets 63, Bishops Lady G aiters 61. O ur M artlets ju m p ed to an early lead, paced by o u r ‘little aw esom e A nnie’ C onstantinides ( 14-pt. first half)- Bishops’ consistency kept them in it th o ugh, and halftim e saw M cGill up 6. F o r m ost o f the second h alf the M artlets kept this padding, as the team s exchanged h o o p s...u n til Bishops closed th e gap and pulled to a I-pt. lead w ith a m inute an d a h alf to go. F ran k ly spo rts fans. I’d have been the first to call it an o th er classic M cG ill choke. B ut wait - a driving 3-pt. play by L inda M arquis, a Bish turno v er, an d a 25-footer from - you know it - L inda again, and th e girls are up 4. Tenacious defence fo r 30 seconds, and it was ours. T h e scene at th e buzzer was sheer eu p h o ria. By now , ya g o tta feel it for th e vets gang, and not by coincidence, they’re th e ones w ho cam e up big—A nnie finished w ith 20; L inda 16; an d A nn ette Kiss 14 pts. Said the girls: A nnette: “A fter 5 years...now they know we’re for reaF . Linda ‘Jazzy’ C h azzyratto: “...so long rebuilding...w e’ve finally pulled th ro u g h ...”. Annie: “ G reat” . S h an d a F ran co ( 14 re b o u n d s-M a rlet high): “ I’m high...w e all are...tonight we kept contro l, we were a team ...w hat’re you doing tonight?” A naturally elated coach H ubert Lacroix had som e interesting com m ents: “I thoug h we’d see overtim e at the end - but pressure defence held them off. T he difference ton ig h t was th e big plays in th e clutch - especially at th e end. But we did co ntro l it all th e way - an d could’ve dom inated...” . Feb. 1,1983: M cGill M artlets 59, C o n co rd ia Stingers 58. A com e-from -behind classic. T h e M artlets cam e out som ew hat tense, and fell behind in th e early going. A t halftim e, it was 32-25 C oncordia. W ith tight defence at both ends, this trend continued - w ith 7:00 left, th e M artlets w ere looking at a 50-41 score from the w rong side. H o ld on - th e M artlets dig in th eir heels: It was A n nette Kiss and M ichelle P o u p o re inside; L inda M. and A nnie from th e outside (12, 6, 18, and 13 pts. respectively) an d suddenly we’re u p 51-50 at th e 4:14 m ark. C lutch foul-shooting (A nnie 4-for-4 in th e last m inute), key reb o u n d s (S h an d a again), backed by th a t ferocious zone defence—and it was ours in a cliffhanger. O th er key nam es in the victory: L inda C hazz, Sue Butler, L aurie A shdow n, and Nancy Avery - all put out adm irably. C oach Lacroix: “ We were rushing o u r shots a t th e beginning...our m istake was getting caught in a running gam e w ith th em ...b ut, ultim ately, the m om entum carried over from F riday...” The Wrap-Up: G irls, you’re beautiful. B ack-to-back gam es against tw o o f the toughest - both com e-from -behind an d hold-on-in-the-end victories. A nd w hat’s next? A dogfight for a berth to the N ationals, with a gam e left vs. each o f these team s. Let’s d o it.

The Concordia Daily Gregg Gibbons Browsing th ro u g h The Daily as I th ink alm ost all o f us do consciously or (m ostly) unconsciously, I cam e upon an interesting “filler” last week. (“ Filler” is the term applied to little quips thou g h t up to fill dead space. Y ou’ve all seen them : Jo in The Trib, etc. 1 do, however, realise th at it’s difficult at times to dif ferentiate “fillers” from the other stuff in m ost D ailvs.) T he one to w hich 1 refer is “ McGill is boring.” “ M cGill is boring.” It does sort of flow o ff the tongue rather well! “ M cGill
zMcÇiU
is boring.” A nd, yes, had I heard th at four years ago when I started, I would have agreed. But you’d have to add a qualifier: “ . . . because it’s to o cold and im personal.” 1 thought th at alm ost all the way th ro u g h my entire first year. At the end, though, w hen all my exam s were over and everything had settled dow n, 1 was really looking forw ard to com ing back the follow ing Septem ber. A nd th a t next year 1 w ouldn’t even have entertained the th ought th at “ M cGill is boring.” It seems ludicrous to me th at a paper,
Thyers/Tlayers t
a student paper, which is “an agent of social change” should print som ething as infantile and irresponsible as “ McGill is boring.” “ M cGill is boring.” “N obody loves me.” “ Life is a bitch.” T o o many people today allow this defeatist atti tude to perm eate everything they do. If you’re bored, do som ething. M cGill can’t possibly be a boring place with all its societies, clubs, organizations, and w hat-not. A nd if none o f these excites you, M ontreal is a m etropolitan place. -W hy not try exploring the city?? So I w onder, why w ould The Daily

print som ething like that? And I ask The Daily, if you firm ly believe th at “ McGi ! is boring,” please publish your argi; m ents backing this belief. Perhaps if you were to get out o f your office a little m ore and com m unicate with the sti dents at M cGill, you m ight find that m aybe, ju st m aybe, y o u ’re wrong. A nd if after you do this, you still believe w hat you printed, then might I suggest chang ing yo u r title to The Concordia Daily . . . O r , better yet, The Laval Daily.
