Candidates for President

Candidates for V.P. External Affairs

by Gregg Gibbons Patrick Gagnon Patrick Gagnon sees the role of VP External as being voicing and lobbying for the interests of McGill students and of the overall student population in Quebec, on both the provincial and federal levels. This, he says, is about two-thirds of the job. The remaining third he allocates to “internal affairs” of the Students' Society and the Executive Committee.

The two major issues which concern Patrick the most in the ‘external’ part of the office are cutbacks in education and student unemployment. As VP External, he would strive to get the student movement fully underway to combat the governmental cutbacks in education. He feels continued on page 3

By Joanne Bayly This Tuesday and Wednesday you will find five candidates for President of Students’ Society on your ballot. The five students running for this position have a variety ol experience and a wide range of aims and perspectives. The following is drawn from interviews with the candidates: Bruce Hicks Bruce Hicks, currently V.P. (Interval), is hoping to be re-elected to office in order to carry through many of the projects with which he is now involved. Hicks feels that change is possible in Students' Society but it is a very slow process. He feels that many of the tasks which he began this year, such as involvement in the Athletics project, in the University Centre renovation project, negotiations for an open air concert, and his involvement in the fight against cut-backs will be less effective if they are not carried through in a consistent and continuous way. Hicks feels that Students’ Society began to pick up this year, both financially and in the areas of services and student life. And Hicks believes he has the background to help Students’ Society continue to improve.

Louise Houle Louise Houle, a first year student, hopes to make Students’ Society more accessible to its members. This W'oüld include encouraging McGill’s francophone population (about 25%) to take a more active role in their Students' Society. Houle feels that this year's Stud. Soc. “seems like a very closed organization- there are very few channels to reach their student rep.'s.'' Houle would like to change the structure of Students’ Society and to make sure that next year there is adequate input. Houle, who helped found the ANEQ Women's Union, is concerned with cut-backs and would like to boost McGill's participation in fighting cut-backs, both at McGill and in its involvement in student associations.

Christian Howes Also concerned with cutbacks is Christian Howes, a third-year student. H owes w'as president of the East Asian Studies student association last year as well as being active in Residence Council. Howes says that his dissatisfaction with this year’s government has inspired him to run for president. As president, he would be concerned with cointact with students and students rights. Howes stresses the issue of the Charter of Rights he feels it is deplorable that students lack recourse for disciplinary refractions: “There should be a better judicial system and commit­ tees, not just an ombudsm an." Howes would also involve himself in cutbacks and the S LR. Steven Matthews Steven Matthews has served on the McGill Senate, the Undergraduate Board of Governors, Student Council. Speakers' Council, and various Senate committees. Matthews would like to, it elected, review' the structure of Students' Society and to work on com munications with other bodies w'hich he feels are now alienated. Cooperation between student groups should be “induced rather than coerced.” A revision ol Students’ Society structure would be his starting point.

Dave Rose Dave Rose withheld his comments, as he found it “morally objectionable” to be interviewed on the telephone.

A fee increase is proposed by the Students' Society in one of the referendum questions you will be voting on today and tomorrow.

While the operating costs of the society have risen in the past few years. Students' Society fees have not increased since 1980.

At that point the increase amounted to $4.00. Last year the Arts and Science Under­ graduate Society doubled their fees and the Post G raduate Students' Society approved their own increase last semester.

The proposed 30% increase w’ill mean $4.85 for a full-time undergraduate student. $3.00 for law, dentistry, medical and gradu­ ate students and $2.00 for part-tim e under­ graduates per semester.

The Students’ Society is a blanket opera­ tion that includes students from every faculty. For instance, if you a re a member of the Education U ndergraduate Society you also belong to the Students' Society. The Students' Society operates and maintains the Union Building. This accounts for most of their rising costs. Although it is involved in some business operations, such as Gertrude's and the cafeteria, the recession has affected these as well since students are spending less.

In addition to providing space and regular service operations in the Union Building, the Students' Society funds almost every activity housed within the building. They support in part or in whole such activities as mini courses, winter carnival. Legal Aid Clinic, concerts, dances, speakers. Film Society.

Women's Union, Welcome Week. Radio McGill, Old McGill (Yearbook) and the McGill Tribune.

Many of these operations w'ould receive reduced funding in the coming year without a fee increase. Some might fail financially and disappear under the pressure of reduced funding.

The fees increase is an issue that can only be decided by the members of the Students' Society this week by voting in the referen­ dum. A vote for a fee increase will mean, maintaining the current level of services according to the current executive and a vote against it will mean a reassessment of the Students' Society’S /^pefations 4md ,some 1 drastic changes.

by S.C. Marshall Today, March 8, is International Women’s Day, so rejoice one and all. Events, movies, and (peaceful) dem onstrations are being held all over the globe this week in celebra­ tion of the day.

There are three main events taking place on or near campus related to the festivities.

On Saturday, a march of about 5000 people left Place des Arts at 2 p.m., headed for Parc i Jeanne Mance, where there were music and speeches, held in the open air, under sunny skies.

T o d ay th e M cG ill W o m en 's U nion (M WU), in conjunction with the Concordia International Women’s Week Committee, is hosting Québécoise singer Lucie Tremblay.

And tom orrow (Wednesday), Concordia, in conjunction with the MWU, is presenting a consciousness-raising exhibit on women and pornography, on the mezannine level of SGW campus.

In conversation with Diane Branzburg, the head of the MWU Coordinating Com­ mittee, and Ara Wilson, it is discovered that M arch 8 was chosen as In te rn a tio n a l Women's Day near the turn of the century at the “2nd International”, at the f orefront of a movement pushing the recognition and needs of women, and of celebrating the fem­ inist cause.

Today, as for the last 15 or so years, the aim of the week is more along the lines of the celebrating. And it is not just meant as cele­ bration only for women— rather, all men are welcomed (even encouraged) to corrie to all of the festivities. Branzburg reiterates that although the Tremblay concert is being put on by the MWU, and although Tremblay is a woman, the feminist overtones will be kept to a minimum by this blues/folk artist.

Other events scheduled for this week include a lecture on the woman in Isreal, by Dr. Sylvie Bijaoui; Not a Love S to ry—the film; a speaker from the Boston Women's Health Collective; and a party at Con­ cordia’s 'Reggie’s' pubVn frid a y .

The McGill Tribune welcomes your letters. They should be subm itted double-spaced typed and should not exceed 300 words. Deadline for letters is the Wednesday prior to publication at noon. The Tribune reserves the right not to print any letter it may receive.

Dear Tribune: 1 would like to address two issues in this letter: first, the alleged position of Students' Society with respect to Bill "one-eleven" and second, the treatment accorded to said Bill

by The Tribune.

In the article concerning Bill 111 (Vol. 2.

No. 21) the writer concludes that “Students' Society...is standing behind the rights of teachers in Quebec." This all sounds very ‘correct’ and ‘responsible’, but is there any substance beneath the rhetoric? What pre­ cisely is Students' Society doing to oppose the government's repressive legislation? The march on the Ministry of Education building last February 23rd saw participation by only a handful of McGill students. Where were the apparently ‘concerned' Students' Society representatives? Why was no greater attempt made at organizing a McGill contingent?

Despite what tile Tribune may want us to believe Students' Society does not seem, at present, to be unduly concerned with the nefarious effects of the government’s legisla­ tion. The most that can be said is that they are indeed “standing behind" teachers’ rights: what is required is a little less standing behind and a little more standing “up front”.

The Tribune's covering of the issue was typical of the w'ay it usually deals with issues that rise above the parochial. The article was given the priority one might normally accord to a footnote in a hastily-written term paper.

Preference was given to articles describing the woes of those planning a new athletics facility, and of the "setbacks” encountered by the instigators of the anti-Daily referen­ dum. I suppose it is more appealing to pub­ licize the campaign against the “agent of social change" than it is too look at social change itself, which is exactly what Bill I 1 1 promises.

The McGill Tribune The Tribune, of course, has every right to give priority to those issues and events it deems deserving. The editors shouldn’t be surprised, however, when they ask them­ selves why “we don’t get any student feed­ back”. There is no better road to oblivion than irrelevancy.

Patrick Godon (M.A. I) Editor's note.

We are not responsible f or student apathy at McGill, ti c sim ply report on events as they happen.

To the McGill Tribune, You were born on September 3rd. 1981 when Liz N orm an’s executive renamed the Students’ Society newsletter. You were intended as a bi-weekly mouth-piece “for the various clubs and faculty societies» which make up the Students’ Society,” (1981 Stu­ dent Handbook, p. 34) and you were bud­ geted $11,000 to perform your function.

Admirably, you,only cost the Society $5,307 in 81/82.

In this your second year, your new' adop­ tive parents, Mr. Williams’ executive, have deemed it necessary to raise your allocation to $15,000. T hey have seen you grow to a weekly edition. Considering your infant sta­ tus it is understandable you should be experiencingteething problems. By Novem ber’82, after only two months of publication, your greedy mouth had already ingested $17, 369.22 of Students’ Society funds.

VP Finance David Sinyard who manages your allowance must be worried about you.

On February 8 he said you had only $1,000 left in your budget and that you had to run (crawl?) on a breakeven basis for the rest of the year. Apparently, you had been overly am bitious in your Jan 25 and Feb I twelvepage efforts and had consumed $1,000 on those two issues alone.

Of your constitutional objectives, you have best met the one “guaranteeing a com­ munications outlet to the elected leaders of the Society." In the stretch run towards the upcoming elections, each of your past six issues has included a lengthy “thumb-nail sketch" of a Society executive. Your daddies must have been very good to you indeed.

You have let them use you for their own self-aggrandisement. And Peter Dotsikas must be a very special sugar-daddy to get space in two consecutive issues.

You have also successfully met your goal “to stimulate members to become involved in extracurricular activities.” You have invited students to climb into your sandbox and throw sand at the Daily.

Your childish diatribes against the news­ paper have only exacerbated the mutual antagonism between the Society and the Daily; they can be ignored because they are so petty. It is your overt support of the student-initiated referendum, the housing of such a destructive- weapon in your fourth floor office that is indefensible and deserves the contempt of your readers.

During Mr. Williams' presidency, you have changed from an informative news­ letter into an expurgated version of the Plumber’s Pot. You have become utterly dull, unamusing and trivial. The sports sec­ tion, with its complete listings, remains your only redeeming feature.

A discontented reader.

Editor’s note.

Frank B. Watts Since January the Tribune has been selfsupporting through advertising. Most o f these comments are unfounded.

To the Tribune Newsletter Really, this is just too much. First you promise a nice juicy exposé on the Daily, written by that eminent authority on journal­ ism Mel Timmy (read Neil Tolchinsky). For three weeks we’ve been breathlessly awaiting Neil’s turgid and adjective ridden prose, we expected no less (and certainly no more) than the regular Tolchinsky bombastic writ­ ing style. Those who have read Mr. Tolchinsky’s attem pts at some semblence of the written word in the sports pages of this cam­ pus’ only newspaper have come to expect a weekly dose of whatever Neil calls his contributions.

^ Commentary

C .R .O . T a lk s B a c k

By Marcy Vigoda -After having been warned that I had better sit down or at least have a drink in hand, 1 approached the latest issue of The Tribune, complete with commentaries by both Gregg Gibbons and Jeff Zimskind. I was somewhat disappointed to find their commentaries filled with half-truths and remarks taken out of context.

I now sit before my typewriter, not raving mad. only annoyed. Master Gibbons claims that your rights have been taken away. A horrible thought indeed! However, this is untrue. The Daily does allow for properly subm itted student-initiated referenda. As CRO, 1fairly and im partially—considered this petition. Certainly everyone would agree that to hold a referendum based on an ‘improper’(constitutional jargon) petition would be wrong. Thus, because the petition was improper in form, the rights of students have not been “completely denied."

It is worthwhile to point out that while the number of fraudulent signatures was not overwhelming, they obviously made the dif­ ference between a valid petition and an invalid one. The fact is that the petition failed to have 500 proper signatures. There were a m axim um of 497 such signatures—I stopped eliminating signatures when 1 saw that there were less than 500. Point made.

Petition improper. Jeff kindly offered to obtain for me three additional signatures.

How nice. Yet^Jhere are no second chances, not on math tests, not on ‘final sales’ not on petitions.

I have been told again and again that a signature can be an ‘X-, and need not be legible. I would be the first to agree, since my signature certainly is illegible.. Still, the stu­ dent signing a petition must correspond to a student number (in this age of numbers) in order to constitute a proper signature. A student number, accompanied by a squigly line (as so many were) is meaningless. The onus, 1 believe, is on the initiator to provide indulgent “cat crap" (to borrow a phrase), only to find that Neil’s promised piece has been replaced by an offering by none other than Leonard Goldberg.

The Tribune seems to.be picking up an awful lot of ex-Daily staffers. In fact the only point of similarity between Leonard and Neil (excepting the quality of their writing style, and their self-imposed non-membership of the Daily staff) is the curious fact that both left the Daily immediately following the ref­ usal of certain editorial staff to print certain of their offerings.

Granted the article submitted by Mr. Tol­ chinsky was full of personal messages and potentially libelous comments, granted that the only reason Mr. Tolchinsky gave for hav­ ing it included, despite its’ limited appeal, was that “I’ve been at the Daily for so long 1 deserve some space on dem and" or some such argument.

Did you bother to inquire into Mr. Tolchinsky’s history, his self-serving attitude, and his resentment of certain Daily editors that doubtless arises from a spoiled child­ hood, and an unreasoning distaste for women in authority?

Did you bother to inquire or ask any per­ son involved at the Daily about the current

the CRO with 500 signatures that she can easily ascertain to be proper. The Daily Con­ stitution does not explicitly call for names on petitions—and it probably should- but this is certainly implied.

A student initiated referenda is a monu­ mental thing; petitions must be looked at very, very carefully. Because this was done, the petition failed.

If anyone acted incompetently, I would suggest that the initiators did. Giving stu­ dents a space in which to write less than one-quarter of an inch in height, and not asking for both name AND signature created obstacles. Under such circumstan­ ces, illegibility will be pervasive. The initia­ tors seem to be kicking themselves by putting the blame on others for the failure of the petition.

1 carefully considered the petition based on the resources I had available’to me: a student directory, not a Registrar’s numeri­ cally ordered list of which I had no knowl­ edge (and which I could “probably” but not definitely—obtain.). Master Zimskind. when helping me with this lengthy task, seemed quite content with the method used.

He happily participated until that point when he left to busy himself with other things. A FTER I had made my decision was NOT the time to inform me of this additional list. YES I had other things to do. 1 admit that. After all, the petition was not my only concern. Having spent six quiet hours with the petition, time spent in a manner obviously approved of by Mr. Zimskind, I felt that I had fulfilled my duty. Jeff was free to appeal my decision, and did so. I was not about to engage in a game of hide and seek, "Find the Registrar's list.” 1 had just finished playing “Clue" with over 600 signatures. “ Who signed the petition?” “ Well, they’re in arts and their last name has a ‘w’. somewhere in the middle.”

We played the game. The initiators didn’t win. Sorry. state of Leonard Goldberg’* journalistic ethics and practices? Ask anyone who had the misfortune to read Mr. Goldberg’s last offering to the Daily’s Christmas issue- a news story 6 files full of opinion conjecture and personal observations on a controversial political situation, all without one shred of fact, docum entation, or quoted authority. Is this Mr. Goldberg’s idea of objectivity in practice?

In reading his comment we find that Leo­ nard has not learned any better w ay to write.

He states opinion as fact, giving a weight of credibility to what remains as personal judgements. He places words and attitudes in the mouths of Daily staffers and then con­ demns them for this crime that he himself has supposed and imposed. In this he is no dif­ ferent in tactics than the CPC-ML. If, as Leonard asserts, the Daily has sur­ rendered credibility to ideology, what excuse can be given for Leonard's (and ultimately the Tribune’s) lack of credibility?

Obviously in both cases the problem stems from a morbid case of self consciousness and a persecution complex that borders on the obscene. If the Daily concentrates too much on the ideological, the Tribune (at least in the past few weeks) concentrates too much on the Daily. A paper or a person does not grow by belittling the efforts of others.

Leonard, I am sure the staff of the Daily is sincere when it calls for all interested stu­ dents to participate in the paper. In fact I have .been assured that even you would be welcome.

Michael Methot —7812669 Editors note.

Five out o f six o f our editors are women. If Neil Tolchinsky distrusts women in author­ ity, why would be conte here? The reason that there have been articles in the Tribune about the Daily is that it has been an issue on campus that has not been covered by the Daily. r

Candidates for V.P. Internal (cont’d) that the only way definitive action will be brought about is by “meeting the government face to face.”

In order to help graduates and undergrads with employment. Patrick would ask the govern­ ment and the private sector to establish a policy towards university students with the objective of publicizing long-term projections on jobs and careers. He feels that students have been misled by inaccurate long-term job outlooks forcast by the government a few years ago. He would like to see services at the M anpower centre on campus stepped up to better help the students with employment needs.

Patrick adds that in order to represent most effectively the needs of students on the govern­ mental level, the VP External must have “an 80% working knowledge of French." Patrick is completely bilingual and believes that this is a very definite advantage in his candidacy.

Returning to the internal aspect, Patrick feels that the Students’ Society has become too closed, “less personalized." Services have to be increased to students because they “don’t want to pay more for less.” As VP External Patrick would make sure that the students get what they pay for.

Benjie Trister As VP External 1982-83. Benjie Trister says that the highlight of his term in office was the necessary construction of a unified union for the student movement in Quebec. This unification was needed because “the Quebec government likes to breed divisiveness in movements to claim that no union speaks for the students." If the ANEQ membership is voted in by McGill students, then a strong union will exist because “ANEQ will clearly represent far more students and there will be no way for the government to ignore its voice.” In addition. Benjie says that the Students’ Society has always been very concerned with the bad effects of cutbacks in education and job prospects for grads. “ But,” he continues, “in order to address these problems properly, we must join other student associations. This has been my number one priority as VP External.”

As taras Benjie’s ability to express the views of McGill students in the French-oriented student movement in Quebec, Benjie says that he has not had “any communication problems at all.”

What would he do if elected next year? Benjie says that continued strong opposition to cutbacks would be stepped up to insure that the students’ views are heard. Also, the problem with the government and student loans has to be addressed, says Benjie. “Instead of simply allowing students to borrow more, the government has to allocate more money for bursaries.”

Continued opposition to differential fees and adding a new VP in charge of student com munica­ tion are also planned.

Summing up. “1 am the only candidate that has direct experience in an elected office. Having been VP of Students' Society for a year and VP Finance of ASUS last year, I will insure that Students’ Society continues to provide excellent services and that McGill maintains its leading , role in the Quebec student movement.”

Lome Schaefer Although he claims outright that he will not be able to fulfill the duties of office next year, Lome says that he'd like to see the Students’ Society become more student-oriented. He also feels that McGill should maintain its role in the Québec students’ movement.

Candidates for V.P. Internal Affairs

by Brian Forsythe Todd Alexander Low Alexander Low, a political science student with his eye on the position of V.P. (Internal Affairs) is stressing the need for the involvement of the Students’ Executive Committee in social issues on campus.

Low sees two im portant functions of the Students’ Council, the first to provide student services (Mr. Low promises to maintain the existing services and to improve their efficiency) and the second to focus student attention on critical social issues which affect all students by encouraging human interest groups on campus.

Low has criticized the present Executive Committee’s policy to expand student services and to avoid im portant social issue*. He says that this approach has only driven the Students’ Society into debt. With his plan to maintain the existing services while increasing their efficiency, Low hopes to be able to bring the Students’ Society back into the black.

As are most candidates. Low is stressing the accessibility of the Executive Committee. He claims that the present council has been too closed to suggestion, that they have no direct input from students. Low maintains that he will rectify this situation by having published office hours and sticking to them and also by encouraging people to come and see him. As well Executive Committee policies will be reported in the Tribune so that their position is clear. Low' criticizes the Tribune for not providing enough inform ation about the Council and Students’ Society activities. The Tribune could be a forum for an explanation of the responsibilities and roles of representatives as well as the existence and function of Council committees.

Low hopes finally to make McGill a better place for all students by encouraging their participation in student activities and by making the University “more ecologically efficient through the introduction of paper recycling and conservation management.”

Yat K. Lo Yat K. Lo, a management student, is stressing the importance of accessibility in his campaign as well as the goal of getting more students involved on campus.

To improve com munication between the V.P. (Internal) and the public Lo suggests having weekly discussion periods where anyone could come into the V.P.’s office and discuss his or her problems and ideas. As well Lo toes the familiar “promote better communication between clubs, faculty executives and Council” line. With his experience in several finance portfolios around campus L'o hopes to initiate cost-cutting measures and alternate financing methods for both the residences and functional groups of the Students’ Society.

Lo wants Students’ Society to havd closer ties with the McGill Inter-Fraternity Council, to have them recognized as an official Students' Society club as well as having them participate in such school activities as the Welcome Week.

Lo also wants to continue the improvements to the Union building created under the current adm inistration. He'proposes to do this by molding the cafeteria more along the lines of the Concordia cafeteria as long as the budget permits it. Lo is concerned about the lack of involvement of students in school activities. He himself found it hard to get involved at first and sees the solution in a program of making clubs more open to new-comers through a more extensive activity night and a centre for inform ation on student groups.

Lisette Noodelman Lisette Noodelman, also a management student, would like to see increased student fees to provide Students' Society with an easier budget to handle. The additional funds would be channeled into the Program Board to provide more big name entertainers such as Bryan Adams.

Noodelman would also like to see fraternities and sororities made Students’ Society organiza­ tions. She sees the existing regulations involving the fraternities single-sex membership policies as a minor obstacle. She would like to give the. fraternities the right to use Student Union facilities along with any other student group. ,.. , . , Noodelman is not concerned'With politics andglvotdd rather stick* to'.the responsibilities and f, obligations of her job. She favours a cutbacks refeïfefiddrff k'frtFAyfyfi SAMé'tfFfi Sx?TH*i;fsf1^ ftdf'flaV *

From left to right: Lo, Low . Noodleman. no plans of action on these matters.

Noodelman wants to make the Students Society better-known. She sees this as being possible by using the Tribune to get across her message or even a possible "weekly newsletter of just a couple of sheets which you could just pick,up." Miss Noodelman admitted that she seldom picked up the Tribune and felt cut-off from the activities of the Students’ Society this year in the Faculty of Management.

Candidates for Senate & B. of G.

by Brian Forsythe Todd It might have been easier last M onday if Room 107 of the Union Building had been equipped with glass cages for the candidates for the Senate and Board of Governors as the mud was flying back and forth all meeting long.

The meeting, billed as a “meet-the-candidates” affair, turned out to be a session for attacking the character of the other candidates as well as a battle over the issues, real or imaginary. The meeting for all of its purported purpose of informing the voters attracted only a few reporters, supporters for the various candidates and one or two interested students.

Candidates for the position of law senator included Ian Bandeen and Jean-Pierre Blais.

Bandeen is also running for the position of undergraduate representative to the Board of Governors. He stressed the strong front ti would show the adm inistration if he was elected to both positions. Blais stressed his previous involvement in student activities, his knowledge of the people and the position itself, as well as the priority of residence fees and issues.

The candidates for the Arts Senator provided probably the greatest fireworks. Marilyn Bierbrier stressed her willingness to work with other senators on im portant matters. As well she emphasized that any cutbacks should take place in areas unim portant to Arts students. The libraries presented the greatest problem since they are so im portant to Arts students, said Bierbrier. She announced that she would strongly support the Senate Library committee to insure that cutbacks didn’t fall in areas that affected Arts students. Peter Dotsikas. this year’s Students’ Society Vice-President (University Affairs), rhymed off his long list of positions in student affairs. He stressed that he was the “only” candidate with experience with the Senate. He attacked the other candidates for creating non-issues and pointed out what he thought were the issues in the campaign. Dotskias mentioned student rights and the Charter of Rights currently being drafted, the problem of the libraries, the reading week dilemma and student grievances.

Dotsikas pointed out his involvement over the past year in dealing with these issues. He also stressed his policy of diplomacy rather than confrontation. Grace Permaul would like to represent all students, not just one section. She would like to work on women’s issues in Senate as well as working for student representation on tenure committees and course selection committees. Permaul as Vice-President of R. V.C. residence would like to further integrate that residence in the university community. The problem of the Student Initiated Referendum was attacked in the question period. Permaul would like to see no Senate veto, Dotsikas supports a veto but only on certain issues such as the threatening of the existence of the Students’ Society or the available student services. Bierbrier was willing to fight for the SIR and would like to see it binding by a two of three party majority. (The students and the Senate would be two of those bodies.)

The Management senatorial candidates present were Gary Polachek and Sieve Lukas. Polachek, who has been involved in the M anagement Undergraduate Society, would like to see the Management Faculty more involved in the University as he things they have a lot to offer. Steve Lukas, who has been involved in residence politics, sees the cyclical review committee, SIR, the Bill of Student Rights, and student grievances as major issues. Lukas supported Dotskas on the latter issues and emphasized the importance of having a Management Senator on the cyclical review committee since the B. Comm, program comes under review next year.

The two candidates for Board of Governors were Ian Bandeen and Dexter Johnson. Johnson pointed out the following issues: residences and their financial situation, the necessity for geting a student representative on the Board of Governors executive committee and cutbacks. Ban­ deen, who has no previous involvement in studenlpolitics at McGill, stressed cutbacks and the need for long-range planning, the residences, and the need for a diplom atic posture with the Board of Governors. Bandeen saw himself as a conduit for student opinion rather than a prom oter of his own opinions. In the question period Bandeen stressed the need for minority representation, as did Jonhson, and went on to point out the use of collegiality as a diplomatic tool to be discarded it it were being misused by the adm inistration, the problem of deficitfinancing as putting of today’s worries to create tom orrow ’s crises and finally the seemingly frivolous nature of Student Union renovations during a period of financial restraint.

So for a change from your average fast food, head down to Pop Inn’s, Côte des Neiges, just below Jean Talon at Barclay.

Not only is the food terrific, but so is the price—everything is in the $1.00 - $3.50 Tange. Bring your own wine, and, especially, a hearty appetite.

the answer to all your gastronomic woes— fast food that’s fast, and inexpensive, but delicious, good-for-you, and...M exican!

You must have tried tacos and chili, but what about nachos, burritos, enchiladas and tostadas? At Pop Inn’s you can try them all and still stay within a student’s budget.

What's more, you can watch them get assembled, so you can see exactly what you're getting yourself info. And, boy, would mom be pleased. _ Corn chips, homemade by Joe the owner, chili sauce, also homemade, fresh grated cheese, crispy shredded lettuce, kidney beans, and chicken and beef cooked under Joe’s watchful eye, are put together in various combinations, popped into the microwave, and quickly whisked to your table in the form of one of those Mexican delicacies.

Each ingredient is perfectly wholesome, na­ tural and unadulterated, producing dishes which are equally nutricious, as well as great­ tasting, and very filling.

And don’t get intimidated by the names— Joe will decipher them for you. Nachos are great for starters, then go for a beef tostada an d —my favorite—chicken burritos if you still have room. Or else you can try chili, tacos and enchiladas. It’s all terrific, and ready, from scratch, in a jiffy.

No hate mail, no love mail, nothing. G ee— I’ve praised Joe Jackson and criticized Steve Winwood. Still, no comments. A certain acquaintance, one Philip Kokotailo, was planning on sending a complimentary l e tte r one praising the literary qualities of this reporter—and signing it David Williams. 1 applauded this idea- but no letter ever appeared.

It’s not up to me to condemn student apathy. I’m apathetic myself. All 1 want is one response. One letter of outrage or sup­ port. Something to prove that all these long lonely nights by the typewriter were not unappreciated. If I don’t get one piece of mail after-this particular review, there will never be another record column in The Trib­ une. (I’ll write one myself if I have too.) Here goes. What do you think of this: 1 hate the Grateful Dead. I hate everything about them. Jerry Garcia is a fat, ugly, drugcrazed, dirty old man. I’m surprised he can even hold a guitar in his hands, let alone “play” one. With the exception of “Eyes of the W orld” every song the "D ead" has ever w ritten has been pure garbage. I believe the

Grateful Dead has contributed more to the downfall of thé moral values of the Ameri­ can youth than any other influence in the past twenty years. For eight months I went to sleep with the sound of the Grateful Dead ringing through the walls of the next room, and woke to the very same music in the morning. (1 think the fellows in the next room only had one album and they played it over and over twenty four hours a day.) The Dead's sole contribution to contemporary music has been something called the “space jam ,” a technique used in live playing where all the members of the band “do their own thing” for about ten minutes between songs.

Some contribution. I met a 16-year-old girl in Pennsylvania who told everyone she met that she slept with Bob Weir. That was her claim to fame. If she read this 1 know she’d write in. Come on, everyone who’s slept with Bob Weir, boys or girls, write m.

Now, of course all I’ve written up to this point is merely intended to be humorous. I’m a great fan of the Dead myself. I’ve got all of their records, all 32 of them. I’d be glad to display this collection to any interested par­ ties. Members of my family have slept with Bob Weir. One of my elementary school teachers slept with Bob Weir. Bob would write in himself and attest to all ol this. 1 11be waiting bv the mailbox.

la test S co rsese-D e N iro c o lla b o ra tio n is a m arvellously astu te tragi-com ic depic­ tion of today’s media-struck society.

Robert De Niro plays a 34-year-old would-be comedian, named Rupert Pupkin, who has spent the better part of his life col­ lecting autographs and preparing for his planned “big break” into showbusiness.

Jerry Lewis is Jerry Langford, the host of the American late-night talk show. Langford is adored by millions across the country and is hounded by fans whenever he sets foot on a public street. As you might guess, the story revolves around Pupkin's repeated attem pts to speak to his hero Langford, to become his pal, and to convince him to give him a spot of the show.

As Scorsese well knows, from the H inkleyTaxi Driver experience, the kind of adula­ tion which a fan like Pupkin feels for his celebrity-hero can lead to much more than just a few run-ins with network security guards. It can lead to psychosis and violence.

Pupkin finally decided, not to assassinate (this is a comedy after all), but to kidnap Langford and to hold him at gunpoint in order to ensure that his demands for a spot on network TV will be met.

Both De Niro and Lewis give inspired per­ formances. De Niro’s Pupkin is abrasive, awkward, and shallow —he is both a nudge and a nerd. Langford, on the other hand, is cool cynical, and singularly unhappy—the

antithesis of the bright-eyed and bushytailed Pupkin. Pupkin is, for the most part, a pathetic figure—he is a loser. But Lewis’ superbly controlled portrayal of Langford as a man who has been physically eroded and psychologically drained by the demands of fame leads us to pity the “successful” star much more than we do his nebbish fan.

At times, the film seems confusing and disjointed. But this is because Scorsese is deliberately trying to blur the distinctions between illusion (as manufactured by the media) and reality. The camera depicts Pup­ kin’s fantasies and his everyday life in an equally “realistic” manner. Our own fanta­ sies about the media and its stars are also constantly being played upon. The cast is interspersed with familiar celebrities and talk show drones (Tony Randall and Dr. Joyce Brothers head the list) playing “them ­ selves.” Even Scorsese himself appears as the director of the Jerry Langford Show. The effect is that we, like Pupkin, have trouble determining precisely where the acting ends and where real life begins.

This film will likely receive a lukewarm response from within the entertaiment world itself since it subverts all of the rules and values which that world holds dear. It exposes the dream of showbusiness as a nightmare of bureaucracy, tedium, and ban­ ality. However. Scorsese’s satirical focus is not only the people on the screen, but also those sitting in front of the screen -th e audience. We all have a litle Rupert Pupkin in us but would rather not admit it. Scorsese knows this and so he lets us laugh at Pupkin (not with him) throughout almost the entire film. Even when Pupkin finally makes it onto national television and delivers a rea­ sonably funny monologue, we are still laugh­ ing at him. But when he delivers his final punchline, “Better to be a king for a night, than a shmuck for a lifetime,” it is clear who has had the last laugh.

YES TO DIVESTMENT

Since Oct. 79. successive Student Councils have reaffirmed their ongoing support for the Student Socie­ ty South Africa Cttee.'s campaign for the divestment of McGill University funds from Canadian banks and companies linked to South Africa.

And the student body has supported it too: last year, in less than two weeks, 3150 students signed a petition calling on the administration to divest; as well, clubs and numerous faculty associations have withdrawn their budgets from banks that loan to the white minority regime and its state agencies.

We are not alone; Dawson College, the Canadian Labour Congress, the City of Toronto in Canada, the Massachusetts state assembly and more than 20 major colleges in the US, Hull Univ. and the Greater Lon­ don Council in the UK, the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands, the World Council of Churches in Geneva, are but a few examples of a growing movement.

They know that every loan, every investment is, in the words of J.B. Vorster, former P.M. of the white supremacist government of South Africa, but “ another brick in the wall of apartheid". They have realized divestment is one of the most effective means of demonstrating the world community's continuing condem­ nation of the universally abhorrent system of racial domination on which the South African state and economic order are based.

Most people already know something about the reality of daily brutalization and police terror faced by the Black majority of South Africa. They are 87% of the population, yet they cannot vote, nor own land outside of designated “ homelands'' defined arbitrarily by the white minority government. Not surprisingly, “ homelands" comprise only 13% of the land surface, most of it unproductive, barren and increasingly overcrowded as the government continues to forcefully dump the aged, the sick, the economically marginal and the politically undesirable there.

Most of us have no doubt heard a bit about South Africa's law system that denies the Black majority ac­ cess to the health, education and job opportunities offered to the white minority; about the reservation of well-paying, specialized jobs for whites alone; about the mass poverty of the Black majority, whose role in the elaborately designed system is to sèrve as cheap labour; about the total ban on all Black political movements and-parties; about the official policy of torture and “ disappearances" of Black dissidents; about the never-ending bombardments of Black refugee camps in surrounding countries; about the police massacre of more than 1000 teenagers in the Soweto ghetto school protests of June 1976.

This system has a name: APARTHEID. It means: total political disenfranchisement and economic dispossession of the Black majority in their own country.

And it has allies: corporate investors like the Royal Bank and Alcan (whose presidents sit on the Board of Governors). For years they have been profiting from a “ stable investment climate" bought at the price of misery and bloodshed. They pay taxes to the apartheid state; they respect its explicitly racialist legislation; they often have lucrative contracts with state agencies, like the Harbours and Railway Commission, which is in charge of bulldozing “ undesirable" Black shantytowns in “ white' areas and dumping the penniless vic­ tims in the desertic “ homelands", or ISCOR, whose steel and metal products go into the weapons used in attacks on refugee camps. They call it "constructive engagement” ang “ change from within the system".

Most people would call it complicity in repression Divesting McGill funds obviously won't change apartheid. The growing resistance movement of Black stu­ dent associations, churches, unions and liberation groups, which have repeatedly called on people in the West to divest, will change apartheid.

But Pur gesture will be a clear statement of support for their fight tor equality And through our contacts in Africa, we will make sure they find out McGill students stand behind them.

D i v e s t m e n t w o n ’t a b o l i s h t h e r e a l i t y o f a p a r t h e i d i n S o u t h A f r i c a ; i t w i l l m e r e l y d e c r e a s e M c G i l l ’s s t r e n g t h i n b r i n g i n g about change.

Instead of Divestiture Divestiture is a moral and symbolic issue and it is precisely in those two areas that the idea is fatally flawed. We are told that, were Williams to sell its shares of stock in com­ panies that do business in South Africa, we would rid ourselves of complicity in the hei­ nous sin of apartheid. Moreover, propo­ nents of divestiture suggest, we would strike a symbolic blow against Pretoria’s racial oppression. Both of these argum ents are just plain wrong.

Symbolically, divestiture is weak and pue­ rile. It is an attem pt to shun responsibility, to pretend that with one relatively easy gesture we can cut thepom plex economic bonds that tie our nation to South Africa. The message we send to Pretoria is: “Sin all you want - but just ddn’t involve us in it." This is a result unworthy of the efforts made by WAAC (Williams Anti-Apartheid Committee) and others.

But my main objection is moral - for dives­ titure incites others to commit the crime that we profess to deplore. Williams would sell its stock to someone, and that someone would sin in our place. Would such an action clean our hands? 1 believe that it would deepen our guilt and make the crime active instead of passive. Were the Trustees publicly to burn the College's apartheid-tainted stock, 1 would applaud -and would be w illingtogive

more money, to help replace the financial loss. But divestiture, the modern-day policy of Pontius Pilate, 1 have no praise.

Instead of divestiture, opponents of ap ar­ theid should be working for a natioal eco­ nomic and political boycott of South Africa, on every level, by the United States. Such a boycott helped bring black majority fuie to Zimbabwe; why not try it here? Tp those who question whether we can bring about $uch a change in national policy, 1 would point to the success of the nuclear freeze movement.

In the last year, the anti-nuclear groups have won referenda in eight states and have gained the adherence of most of the Demo­ cratic candidates for the presidency. HERE is a goal worthy for, fighting for, even going hungry for (three students went on a hunger strike in January to protest the Trustee's lack of action in divestment): let opponents of apartheid organize nationwide and move the political system, as the freeze people have.

Many who are non-plussed by divestiture would joint in THAT struggle...

Divestiture is politically futile, as it has no effect on South Africa and only serves to concentrate power more firmly in the hands of the cynical. Morally it is immature and. in the final analysis, sinful. We can do much better than that, surely.

NO DISARMAMENT Disarmament and the Cruise: A Discussion

The nuclear issue is highly charged with em otion, and rig h tly so. The consequences of nuclear holocaust are too horrible to con­ template. Fear, anger, and disgust well up in each of us when we think of the possibility of nuclear war. Yet out of this muddle of con­ flictin g em otions decisions must be made.

They must be based on tact and coalesced through reasoned argument and discus­ sion. One must be on guard against the pseudo-truths of rhetoric. They must be recognized and (Jiscarded from the collec­ tion of facts and arguments p rior to coming to a decision.

In this issue, the shroud of rhetoric begins with the referendum questions proposed by the Yes C om m ittee and subsequently adopted by the Students' Council. The first question addresses the issue; (paraphrased) should Canada disallow the flig h t testing of the cruise missile in Canada? The second question is*a rhetorical gim m ick. No one in his right mind is going to be against the goal of disarmament. A 'yes to this question does not rule out a 'no' to the first.

Despite em otional pleas to the contrary, supporting the goal of disarmament is compatable with supporting the flig h t testing of the cruise missile—if you accept the pre­ mise that disarmament must be verifiable and mutual. The Soviet Government has refused to allow on-site verification, thereby precluding an agreement. It is Canadian pol­ icy to encourage negotiated disarmament. It is not the policy to unilaterally disarm.

The Yes Com m ittee tells us that the cruise missile is a first strike weapon. They say its extreme accuracy and stealth would allow it to destroy Soviet missiles in their silos. Due

to their sub-sonic speed,- cruise missiles would take a considerably long time to reach their targets; ample time for the Soviets to realize they were being attacked.

When the m issilesfinallyarrived, they would destroy em pty silos ...

So what, then, is the role of the cruise missile? The air-launch cruise is a second strike weapon designed to be used when a nuclear exchange has already occurred.

The ground-launch cruise is designed to destroy Soviet rear echelon war material after a massive Soviet conventional attack has been mounted against, and, threatens to over-run, Western Europe. In both the stra­ tegic and theatre role, the cruise isa retalia­ tory, not a first strike weapon. « Much has been made of the fact that NATO has refused to pledge for, ‘No first use of nuclear arms.’ Many people fear that this implies a possible NATO pre-emptive strike. This is not the case. NATO conven­ tional defenses are insufficient to withstand a prolonged Soviet armoured advance. To deter a conventional attack NATO must have the Soviets believe they will not hesi­ tate to go nuclear to prevent the subjugation of Western Europe.

The real world we live in is, unfortunately, a dangerous place. We must not, however, allow fear to cloud our judgement. Through negotiation in good faith and with the resolve of public opinion not to make con­ cessions unless sim ilar concessions are forthcom ing from the Soviets, perhaps one day the words of Robert Burns w ill come to pass, “ It's com in yet fo r a' that, That man to man the world o'er shall brothers be for a that."

ANEQ McGill & Membership in ANEQ

WHY PROBATIONARY MEMBERSHIP?

W hat is ANEQ ?

The Association N ationale des Etudiants-es du Q ué bec (N ational Asso d a tio n of Q uebec Students; is a dem ocratically controlled a llia n ce of .sixteen colleg e a n d three university student associations It was form ed in *(975 to give students a collêctive voice in their fight to stop proposed university admissions tests a n d to improve the financial aid system. It helped-defeat the proposed tests a n d it won some-improvements in the Loans & Bursaries program, a battle it continues to fight today. Since 1975.it has expanded its program to include fighting cutbacks in e d uca tion reform projects, differential fees for foreign students sexism, com pulsory - civil service for students, repression-of student associations "and a host of other student issues

VOTE YES

“The prospect for unity in the student m ovem ent is very bleak. That is why the M cGill student association has asked M cGill students to support the only group with the potential for growth: ANEQ." Benjie Trister, M cGill External Vice-President

“The governm ent has told us they w on’t listen to individual associations, an d ANEQ is the ’National’ association which has proven itself to be suited to C oncord ia's needs.’’ Paul Gott, CUSA Student Services Vice-President.

BUT ISN’T IT A COLLEGE ASSOCIATION?

No. ANEQ is the only Q u e b e c wide student association which has BOTH colleg e an d university m embers Present university mem bers arc- the Universities of Sherbrooke Q ue bec à Montreal a n d Q nebec a C hicou timi C oncordia a n d McGill would bring the total to-fivc—one more than RAEU if you consider the three schools of the Ur uversite d e M<. ntrooi as .one

WHY THE REFERENDUM?

This year, a com m ittee of the McGilLStudênts' Council reco m m e n d e d that McGill withdraw from the Regroupement des Associations Etudi­ antes Universitaires (RAEU). a n d be gin negotiations with'provincial stu ■dent unions to determ ine w hich one was best suited for M cGilLsgoals. .- The External Affairs Advisory Committee, has since .recom m ended to Students' Council that a referendum be held on m em bership in ANEQ. 'The C om m ittee found that ANEQ was the only provincial.student union ■'which was op e n -m in d e d a n d willing to a c c e p t changes in their struc­ tures to a c c o m m o d a te new m embers RAEU, on the other hand, seems to be less concerned a b o u t the need for unity a m o ng Q uebec student' associations. RAEU refused to atten d a recent conference of student associations, w hich was ca lle d to try to reach consensus on im portant issues -

"ANEQ offers the best c h a n c e for C o n co rd ia to take an active role in the leadership of the Q u e b e c student m ovem ent.” Jo h n Kinloch, Legislative Councillor, External Affairs Com m ittee, CUSA. HOW WILL MEMBERSHIP IN ANEQ BENEFIT M E?

Membership-in ANEQ will benefit any M cG i/stu de nt-w ho is concerned about. .,• the underfunding of our university .

• accessible a n a a d e q u a te financial aid • English la ng uag e e d uca tion rights • a nod-sexist e d uca tion system •governm ent ed uca tion "reforms' • tuition fee levels •studei.it unem ploym ent •e d u c a tio n If McGill students ha d not d e c id e d to creote the Students Society there w ouldn't be any organized group prom oting the a c a d e m ic a n d social needs of students . The individual student voice wouia b e lost a m o n g the cries of m any others. If McGill stands plone, it too will lose the abmty to make itself heard

WHY ANEQ ?

Through our co n ta ct with ANEQ a n d its members, we have found them to b e a gro up of concerned, active, cooperative, de m ocra tic a n d vocal defenders o f student rights a n d interests. The Concordia University Stu, de nt Association has co m e to .the sam e conclusion a n d is holding an .

ANEQ referendum a t the sam e tjme as McGill. External Affairs representa­ tives from both associations believe m any Anglophone colleges will follow in our wake. We believe the rights of A nglophone students c a n best be protected by working ha n d -in -h a n d with our Francophone peers. Our isolation from the Q ue bec student m ovem ent will only serve to a d d cred en ce to the p ro p a g a n d a ab o u t the "elitism" a n d “ isloation" of the Anglophone minority "As members, w e received almost no support from RAEU. Only in the last few weeks have thet shown a faint interest in CUSA and I c a n only c o n clu d e that they are more worried ab o u t our m oney than the rights of our students. The opposite has b een true of ANEQ." G len Murray, GUSA External Affairs Vice-President.

Currently, ANEQs structure does not allow for a university cau cus This m eans that the sixteen Ci. GEPs c a n carry a majority vote on issues relating to universities It has always been the position ot the Students' Society that University associations should be the only institutions allow ed to vote on resolutions concerning universities. As a probationary member.

McGill will fry to c h a n g e ANEQs-structure from within, to a lo w for a university cau cus If we fa r in our attem pt, we c a n then withdraw However, there is no reason to believe thqi we win Last year the ANEQ -Congress overwhelmingly supported the idea of form ing a university" cau cus with ANEQ.

WHAT 1$ THE BOTTOM LINE?

M cG IL L

Tfie probationary m em bership fee for ANEGvviii be $5.000 The m em ber ship fee for RAEU w ould be $2.00 per student, which would am ount to $28.000

H e rs c h e l W a lk e r is C o m in g to M c G ill

by Mel Timmy Is it possible? Can it be? Is Herschel Walker coming to McGill? I mean is he really coming to McGill. McGill in Montreal?

That's right Herschel is definitely coming.

Forget about that stuff you heard about the U.S.F.L. and the New Jersey Generals. Mr. Walker is definitely on his way.

Unbelievable...but there's a twist, a couple you could say. You see this Herschel Walker is not a world class sprinter, nor is he 6’I".

220 lbs. This Herschel Walker didn't have to turn down 4 million a year to eat pizza at G ertrude’s, and I guess it’s kind of clear now that this is not Herschel Walker, the great ex-Georgia Bulldog running back. Can you just imagine Herschel on campus, or on the turf at Molson Stadium , or the laugh he’d have when he'd peer into the weight room for the first time?

Sorry sportsfans. but this Herschel Walker, is of a quite different mold... For starters, this guy if 5’10”, I 10 lbs., he has a size 24 waist and his favourite snack is bean sprouts. He loves reading and some of his favorite books are “ Hamm ond’s Complete World Atlas” and “ Resumé’s Made Easy”. In his high school back in Kansas he was cut from the football team. Rumours have it he fell asleep in the starting blocs of the 100 metre sprint.

Speaking to Herschel, long distance, he told me he's looking forward to coming to M ontreal so he can continue his acquired habit of calling up restaurants and making reservations..." Yes. I’d like a table for tw o...the name is Herschel Walker, yes I’d love the table next to the gardens.”

And who says McGill doesn't attract big names anymore?

Norts Spews SQ U A SH ...it’s the rage, whatta-game, easy to learn, cheap to equip, don’t have to run much, great way to make dates - ya gotta loVe it. Speaking of, how ’bout the McGill Squash Team (Club)! They tore up last weekend in the M ontreal USC (Univ. Squash Club) tournam ent, with our guys placing first and second in both the B and C divisions. Whaddaya mean you didn’t know there was a Squash team? C’mon. wake up - we’ve been taking on everyone from the M A A and MBSC (local clubs) to the Ivy League schools (D artm outh and Cornell were up last month -killed us). We’re talkin’ heavy names like Eamonn McConnell (caption). Tony Lui. Michel Timothy, Mike Grieve, and Richard Whitehead - destined to become household names. The team consists of approxim ately 17 guys and 8 girls, under the leadership of coach Louis Raymond.

Problems? You bet. There's no Quebec League, and there’s no money for travel to the O ntario League. But th at’s not the real problem - it’s you sports fans, all you heavy squash aces out there who aren’t involved. According to captain McConnell, the talent in this school, if organized, would be competitive anywhere - even in the NCAA League, which is the long-term goal of the MSC: “There are some great players at McGill that don’t seem interested in the Squash team - if they were we could compete with teams anywhere - and perhaps gain the recognition we deserve... Univ. of T oronto and Queens are currently competing in the NCAA - that's where it's at; there’s world class players coming out of there every year..."

So quit playing to impress your date, and get serious gang - enlist. * * * Better-Late-Than-Never-Dept. - Not really a surprize, ’coz it could’ve, should’ve might’ve been this way all season. I’m talking about the way our basketball Redmen m anhandled Concordia (no.4 in the country) last Tues., in a no-contest game that we won by tw enty pts, 88-68. At this point it’s that twenty points th at’s important, for as Ass. Coach Pomvcala remarked after the game: "Hey, another win with that kind of spread and there’s a decent chance that they (CIAU) will re-open our file...” Do you believe in miracles sports fans? Or life-after-death? * * * Reliable sources in Hanover, N. H. report of a McGiFI Rugby game taking place at their own D artm outh College last week. Subsequent investigation revealed only a portion of the squad was present, involved in a game of 7’s....And it wasn’t vs. D artm outh, but an intra-squad game...and it wasn't at the field, but on the lawn at Psi U...boy. it’s unbelievable how rumours get out of hand... * * * A nother rum our floating around this week talks of one Herschel Walker attending McGill University next year...nothing’s been officially confirmed or denied as of this writing, but really, gimme a break...

Next Week: I dunno yet.

R e m i K a w k a b a n i: H ig h P r o file

by Glen Cunningham The smile comes easily, broad and genuine no.hesitation reflecting the attitude of the man. You know the kind: it jum ps out at you from the side of your breakfast cereal every morning. Remi Kawkabani is a finger snap­ ping. hard poppin' crackling linebacker and is most definitely no flake. . He is the D andaroo of the Redmen, a free spirit who is a rarity am ong us; for he is a leader. For four outstanding seasons Kaw­ kabani led the Red and White and is a respected member on many campuses that comprise the McGill Football schedule.

He has endeared himself to the hearts of the McGill campus with Statements like: "Football season’s over, now it’s time to give the girls a break.”

Between the white lines Kawkabani has been an integral part of the Redmen suc­ cesses leading by example letting his devestating play do'his talking. He has had a lot to say in many Redmen games with bone crunching hits that made people sit up and take notice. They could have dubbed him E.F. after another fellow people have been known to listen to.

Unanimous winner of the “ Mac Davis be alike contest" Remi stood as the “Tower of Power” of the rock ribbed Red and White defensive unit this past season. Unlike the legend from Lubbock, Kawkabani does not believe in taking a look at life through the rear-view mirror; instead he is looking to the future and the quest of new challenges.

The biggest of those challenges awaits him upon the tacky surface of the Meadowlands in New Jersey at Giants Stadium. (We told you people to listen when Remi talks). He has been granted an invite to the Giants spring camp. “I owe it all totally to Eugene here at Phys ed. If I make it they will have to call me Eugene Kawkabani. I have to be realistic though. If I don’t make it, I’ve got my travel plans made,” says the man with the

clear window vision of one who knows the percentages. While figures don’t lie. Jersey has not yet seen the “Tower” yet.

Asked about this Redmen highlight he answered without hesitation: “The day we beat Queen’s in their back yard coming from behind in the fourth quarter. Equalled this year was our big win over Concordia at their complex to take the Shaughnessy Cup.” Accademically? “Nothing really stands out," says Kawkabani. Though he cites being the Management Faculty councellor as his most satisfying achievement.

Kawkabani was awarded the Scarlet Key for achievements outside of the academic program, and this is one award that brings with it a great deal of pride.

Asked to name individuals who have impressed him, Kawkabani politely declined, stating that it was not fair to mention indi­ viduals. for his life has been affected by every­ one on the team. He added “the people with the strongest characters have been my 'Redmen team-mates." “ My four years here have taught me about life. The areas of mental toughness with regards to sacrifice and discipline, as well as learning to work in harmony with others, has been brought into focus.”

There are two ways to learn at University, says Kawkabani: through books or through experience. “I chose to learn through expe­ rience. I may have overdone it though." adds The Tower in reflection. “I intend to become an educated man before 1 die."

Team of the Month This illustrious award goes, for February, to the Redmen and M artlets Swim Team.

Not only did they figuratively drown all opponents in the recent QUAA Cham pion­ ships (they won the meet) but they also man­ aged to qualify no less than seven (7) swimmers forth e CIAU Nationals. Congrats to all. and to Coach Luc Pelletier!!
