by Brian Forsythe Todd A satisfied Bruce Hicks sat in his office last Thursday reflecting on his victory in the Students’ Society Election. With a final count of 802 votes over Louise Houle's 585 and Christian Howes’ 495, Hicks was happy with his victory. He said that he “knew the other candidates would be close behind but thought that Chris would do better,”,Hicks was pleased with the election results al­ though he was disappointed that Benjie Trister failed to get re-elected.

Commenting on the other members of the executive, Hicks said he was pleased with the addition of Patrick Gagnon (V.P. Externalelect) to the executive. Hicks went on to say that although Gagnon was inexperienced, his flamboyant style would add a new di­ mension to the executive. This style would be very effective in communicating the execu­ tive’s plans to the new Students’ Council.

Hicks maintained. Hicks was interested in the Noodleman/Lo battle in that both can­ didates would’ve added something to the ex­ ecutive. Noodleman’s experience in the Management Faculty would bring that fa­

culty closer to the Students’ Society, Hicks claimed. As well, Hicks praised Noodleman’s imaginative problem-solving tech­ niques.

According to Hicks the direction of next year’s executive will follow the example of this year’s. He was very happy that for the first time a member from one year’s execu­ tive was re-elected into the next year’s. Need­ less to say he was even more overjoyed that it was himself. Hicks sees some “very substan­ tial progress” being made next year with con­ tinuity throughout the Students’ Society, in­ cluding the Tribune, the Program Board and the Executive Committee itself.

Hicks was pleased with the fact that three of the four people on his “slate” were elected, especially Dexter Johnson with his over­ whelming majority. He was “of course dis­ appointed" that Benjie Trister failed to win a second term in the role of V.P. External.

Commenting on Trister's future he said, “it would be a shame to lose him totally from the Students’ Society.” Hicks sees a future somewhere in the Students’ Society for Tris­ ter who is, according to Hicks, “very versa­ tile” and has a reputation for dealing ef­ fectively with the administration. Res­ ponding to the suggestion that Trister might

by Brian Forsythe Todd Lisette Noodelman is quite content with her victory in last Wednesday’s Students’ Society elections. Next year’s Vice-President Internal said in an interview that she was surprised at the closeness of the race. But, she added, she always enjoys a tight race.

Noodelman squeaked by Yat Lo 973 to 895, a narrow margin of 78 votes.

Commenting on the other members of the Executive Committee, Noodelman said that she could work with them as easily as with anyone. Noodelman described herself as being “very adaptable”.

Noodelman believes that last year’s V.P. Internal, Bruce Hicks, took on a lot more jobs than an ordinary V.P. Internal would have. This resulted from the fact that there was no Executive Director of Students’ so­ ciety last year. Rather than covering all of the areas that Hicks covered last year, Noo­ delman will stick to the responsibilities and duties of the V.P. Internal as laid out in the

constitution of the Students’ Society.

Wishing not to make any premature statements, Noodelman w oulj not comment on the failure of the Students’ Society fee increase to pass the referendum and its effect on clubs under the jurisdiction of Students’ Society. Noodelman said she would wait until committees to be struck before she would know if and how badly clubs would be effected by the cutbacks.

Noodelman supports both the renova­ tions to the University Centre and additions to the athletic facilities—both Hicks-sup­ ported projects—but comments that negoti­ ations are stalled until the funding for both projects is guaranteed from the University Building Fund.

Although her term does not begin official­ ly until June, Noodelman is already being chased by anxious students who want some­ thing done for them. The portfolio of V.P. Internal looks like it will be a very full one over the next year.

Winston Yoon, celebrated photo participant and Trib photographer, made an appearance at the McGill Management Fashion Show last week where this model succeeded in inspiring him

by Butch Trischman Applications are currently being received for the D artm outh-D uke exchange pro­ gram. Qualified students will be applying for enrolment at other schools for the third time since the program’s inception in 1980. Inter­ est am ong McGill students appears to be growing both here and down south. Profes­ sor Watson, member of the North American and Canadian Studies Committees, is actively involved in the program.

"Historically, three McGill students go to Dartmouth for the fall, and three students go to Duke for each of the fall and spring semes­ ters. There is no formal limit to the number of applicants that are accepted, but the figure probably will not exceed 10 going to each school per year.”

The exchange was originally designed to open avenues for students in North Ameri­ can Studies at McGill and students in Cana­ dian Studies at the two other schools.

Recently, however, the opportunity has been expanded to students in any Arts program.

“Basically. McGill students would go to the other two schools and pursue any aca­ demic course. They would normally receive equal credits for the work, as would students coming up here,” said W atson. “ Our stu ­ dents pay the fees from McGill while stu­ dents com ing up here pay fees from their schools. It’s a god deal for McGill people, as it is for the other students coming here.”

Students are required to have a 3.0 G.P.A. and preferably should have a valid reason for pursuing their interests elsewhere. The application procedure entails sending a letter of intent and tran scrip t to Dr. W atson.

Although the program is currently limited to only three schools, other universities may well become involved.

“The program is now firmly established.

We certainly are interested in expansion.

Other schools such as Yale have been menti­ oned," remarked Watson. “The program is successful because these other schools have the programs, as does McGill. We are very well recognized in the U.S.”

Gagnon Gagnant

by Joanne Bayly One of the first things Patrick Gagnon, our newly elected V.P. External, would like to see changed at Students’ Society next year is election policy. “ 1 was unhappy to see that there wasn’t a spending budget; a lot of peo­ ple went right over 2 0 0 dollars. I’d like to see it toned down next year, a well-organized campaign really only needs about 100 to 150 dollars.”

About his own campaign, Gagnon be­ lieves it was his hitting the classes which brought about his victory. “It was very im­ portant that I present myself to students.”

Gagnon is optimistic about working with Bruce Hicks and Lisette Noodelman. “Bruce has experience and he knows what’s going on. We’ll give it a good try together.”

Gagnon does forsee some problems next year. Since the fees increase referendum was not passed, there will be financial problems.

The ANEQ referendum was passed though, and Gagnon sees this as a very positive step.

Since cutbacks will be one of Gagnon’s main

concerns next year it is important that McGill is once again actively involved in student politics. By being part of ANEQ, McGill will once again have input in the student movement and be able to state its priorities, which are, according to Gagnon, cutbacks and student unemployment. If ANEQ does not work out to be a viable way to work for students, Gagnon is ready to look at other alternatives.

“During the next few months I expect to learn some of the ropes from Benjie Trister, he’ll be able to show me the in’s and out’s but when it comes to implementation through committees, things will get going next Sep­ tember.”

During the next few months Gagnon will also be getting in contact with other student executive members at other universities and will be meeting with other people in the stu­ dent movement, getting to know the people and how the system functions. There is much & to be done before September.

CON

by Mark Weintraub What’s all this hype about the horrors of Video Games? The Canadian Chiropractic Club says our electronic toys cause shoulder and wrist strain. Well to them I say, there are other activities that do the same (and cause blindness to boot) so lay off. The Ministry of Education (taking time out from doing to the teachers what I am dying to do to that blonde in my history class) has lined Video Games with a growth in the willingness of students to respond to punishment with threats of vaporization (“No Mrs. Pilcher, that’s not my finger I’m pointing, so go Voop Voop Voopand whither away ya’ old hag!”). To that I say, so what?

The truth is, that Video Games are good news indeed. They provide the best source of diversion possible for the great moronic masses. They keep the delta minuses off the street and in the arcades, where they belong. The best indication of this cleaning-up effect of Video Games, is the poor performance of several key economic sectors: drugs, pornography and Deely-Boppers.

Cocaine merchants alone have noted a 70% drop in profits over the last 8 months (at a time when the cost of pink felt hats and showy jewelry have skyrocketed). Mick Jagger’s celebrated switch over to Asteroids by itself sent sales of the white wonder into a tailspin. Pornographers have fared no better. Warped Willy Wang, Assistant Vice-Lechererforthe Canadian Sick Sex Assoc, reports that all segments of the industry, from flesh farms to nudie chess clubs, have been feeling the pinch. Says Wang “us guys with a depraved clientele is really takin’ a heatin’. Most of the strip joints have had to let their animal acts go. Andya’ can’t barely give away senso-creme these days.” One club, trying to stem the video tide, staged a ‘Ms. Pacstrip Nite,’ which ended in chaos as the video-crazed patrons fed the dotshaped ashtrays to the performers.

There are other positive effects of video-games. The recent break up of the OPEC oil cartel was blamed on King Faisal’s irritation with losing64 straight game of Kangaroos to the Kuwaiti foreign .minister. The decrease in the incidents of disembowlement of innocent civilians by Salvadorian government troops has also been linked with the placement of a specially designed ‘Nuke the Nun’ video game in the officer’s lounge. Intellivision is also reported to be behind the refusal of Gerald Ford to get back into politics.

In addition, video-games in the long-run, will have important demographic effects. Popula­ tions will plunge as more and more rural children try to eat the dotted lines on major highways while their urban counterparts play ‘Zap the Trolley-Car.' And if all these videophiles are busy with their electronic toys, the herpes epidemic will die out. True, so will sex, but its a small price to pay for freedom from an Elephant Man complexion. By the same token, sports will die out too. And no sports(though itself a disadvantage), means no Eloward Cossell whiningabout the “obstreperous incapacitational chromophilia of that last Jets touchdown.” It will mean that some 45 year old Polish ski-jumper will no longer have to be "The Agony of Defeat.”

Finally, Video Games hold the potential for great things. They could be educational, and close to real life. A feminist Ms. Pacperson for instance, who takes your quarter as payment for all the centuries of degradation arid exploitation women have suffered.

Dear Trib: It is wonderfully refreshingand excitingto see the Daily getting its much deserved kick in the ass. It was indeed very unfortunte that the Referendum will not include the issue of optional Daily fees. It’s interesting to see how this turn of events came about as ex­ plained by Jeff Zimskind on March 1, 1983.

However, there’s always next year, and per­ haps this incident will make the Daily shape up. I have a personal reason for disliking the Daily, but I would like to add that the editors

by Colin McGregor I have a friend who spends his days playing Kangaroo in Gertrude’s, and spends his nights devising strategy for the game. He calls himself‘King Kangaroo’; and indeed, 4 out of 5 days his top score is the day’s top score, and his initials are prominently on display at the top of the Scorer’s List that the cathode ray tube keeps. This person, who wishes to remain anonymous (although his name is Brian Lutfy, BA U2), just loves to play Kangaroo.

Poor boob. He is yet another victim of the d isease ‘videoitis’, an affliction that had marred the lives of millions of students at McGill (our enrollment is way up this year), and which should be stopped before its baleful influence can be felt not only in our pubs but in our Churches, our Financial Institutions, our Glee Clubs and our Ventriloquists’ Unions.

Look at what is happening to our society - G. M. has gone so far as to put a video game in every mid-size car that they sell in ’83. Called Distracto, the game has been directly linked with over 70,000 deaths on America’s highways. Why did they put the game in the dashboard? Why do little kids call their room at home “ Laser Bases” instead of “rooms”? Why do people go to bed at night worried sick over how many aliens they couldn't kill at the bloody arcade? As one average student, Zgourney Peeters, told me, “Everyone that I know plays video games at least once or twice a week. 1 guess I’m pretty average - except that my name’s Zgourney.”

Boy, am I ever mad. It has gone so far that nobody realises the side effects that can arise from the continued use and abuse of these games. The radiation emitted from the cathode ray tubes can cause huge tumorous growths to emerge on the faces of those who incessantly play these video games. It saves money on braces for teens, but it hurts their chances with girls severely. The strain of looking at these TV screens and trying to pick out the Pac Man and Pac Women ruins people’s eyes—and a nation of squinters could never accurately shoot at the bloodless, pagan Communists when they come over the hill to rape our daughters and take over our Ventrilo­ quists’ Unions. Our characteristically Canadian erect postures are being ruined by video ga­ mes—forced to hunch over the little buttons in order to save cities in “Missile Command’, people’s backs are being forced into supine positions from which they can never return.

And what is happening to our youth? Hunched over, squinting, afflicted with facial Dlemishes. they are becoming quickly unable to meet the challenges of the 80’s, 90’s, and...the 00’s. Society will crumble, Joe Clark will become leader of the Conservatives again (as a role model for the new video generation), and our cheese products will go rotten due to inattention. Boy, now I’m really mad.

But people like Mark don’t care. No, Mark is perfectly content to let video games continue because the only date that he can get is with Ms, Pac Man. No, Mark, Custer’s Revenge isn’t a recipe for Truffles; it is an insidious heterosexual plot to undermine all that Canadian youth stand for but would lie down for if they knew any better. “Nuke Video Games” It is the only reasonable response to an unreasonable situation.

And have a nice day. and staff of the Daily are doing the job the only way they know how. We cannot blame them for narrow-mindedness and singleness of purpose—after all somebody has to change the world! However, as a McGill stu­ dent for the past four years, I often felt a discrepancy between my concerns and the ones they write about. I am not in favour of political ‘cliques’ of any kind, and unfortu­ nately The Daily IS a clique. 1 know. I have tried to infiltrate it and with the exception of a few people, I was always made to feel like ,an outsider. To prove that youare worthy of writing for the Daily, you .must a) be a leftist b) wear old jeans and checkered shirts c) be studying political science d) Attend demos e) be against the principle of Advertising revenue but 0 Shut up and live off it.

Keep up the Good Work! We shall Over­ come!

Irene Chwalkowski To the Tribune 1 would like to respond to Michael Methot’s letter of March 8 . First of all, I’d like to congratulate you for using your real name for a change, Fred. I guess you think that gives you the right to criticize Neil Tol­ chinsky for using an alias. Secondly, Fred, all 1 can say is that you have an incredible amount of gaul. Neil Tolchinsky has written some of the most entertaining and creative articles for both the Daily and the Tribune over the past three years. It is unfortunate that readers like yourself are incapable of comprehending a tongue-in-cheek style of writing. Rather, you seem to have mastered a foot-in-mouth style by questioning Neil’s ability to deal with women in positions of authority. May I remind you, Fred, that last year’s sports editor at the Daily was a female.

1 never heard Neil complain, not even once...

Has it ever occurred to you, Fred, that the so-called “ex-Daily staffers” were discour­ aged, to say the least, by the D aily’s lack of responsibility in covering McGill events?

The Daily may be an autonomous newspap­ er, but they still receive a large chunk of student motley (and they even had the nerve to ask for more during last week’s election!).

The students of McGill are definitely not getting their money’s worth. But then again.

I’m not surprised that the Daily has lost a number of staff members.

I'd also like to point out, Fred, that if the Tribune “concentrates too much on the Daily", why do you (a Daily staffer) persist in writing obnoxious letters about how sin­ fully horrible the Tribune is?

However, Fred, I must say that it was clever of you to add your student number along with your signature. Now all of McGill can see that you’ve been here since 1978 and have yet to receive a degree. Fred, do you think you’ll ever graduate? Or are you simply going to spend the rest of your days writing insipidly insulting letters to the Tribune pick­ ing on the Trib, its writers, and any member of the Student Society that comes to mind?

Give us all a break, Fred. Please?

Tuesday, March 15, 1983.

P e n alItiies a n ci Last Tuesday was International Women’s Day. A number of events was staged at Concordia and McGill Univer­ sity for “women’s week." The Women's movement is not new, but it has yet to accomplish all of its goals. A consistent thread runs through much of the writing on women’s rights and the movement in general, and it is that some progress has been made but there is much to be de­ sired.

But, are women doing everything they can to promote equality? Certainly, they come eagerly forward when the issue is employment or equal pay for equal work, and the movement is very united on these issues.

However in otherareas, womendo not stand united. With the divorce rate rising,

The N e w C le a r Image

by Kathleen Yearwood THINK of something or someone you see everyday. It is obvious to all of us that the more contact we have with any particular thing, the more familiar it becomes—and therefore the less strange, thè less fearsome.

And after a long period of time and expos­ ure, the object is both more known and less known by us—the less known because it becomes more a part of ourselves, and less an object separate from us.

WHICH is why I have this objection to the widespread use of atomic cloud blast imag­ ery in the media. The daily persistance of the image of the mushrooming cloud acts as an inoculum and stupéfiant, urging the viewer towards a passive acceptance of the inevita­ bility of nuclear war. It works not only through acclimitization but also through the fact that many people consider the media to be authorities and do not question the information transmitted by it. Because of the assumed “trueness” of the image, people come to expect it as a future reality.

O.K., so it’s only a symbol, this cloud:— but it is a symbol chosen from among possi­ ble symbols of nuclear holocaust. And it is a characteristically North American antiseptic image; clean, powerful, final and facile.

Divorced from the reality of what would be happening on the earth so far below—and not at all what anyone on the face of the earth would see...in its omnipotence and BEAUTY (somewhat like God), it elicits a feeling of helpless resignation.

WHEREAS, photographs of nuclear blast victims, for example, would tell quite another story—that is*—that this has already happened and we must not allow it to happen again.

The mentality that makes war possible is embodied in the “survivalists” of whom there is not much more to say but that they also reflect the same state of willful ignorance indulged in by the U.S. Government. Both parties believe in the possibility of “winning” a “limited nuclear war” (has no one sent r.reagan a copy of Bertrand 'Russell’s Has Man a Future?) and that, with enough prep­ aration and pioneering spirit (and money) they can survive anything. This faith in their own personal immortality embraces an acceptance of the necessity of nuclear des­ truction and, at the same time, an inability to understand the implications of it. The survi­ val they speak of is the type that depends upon the willingness to shoot one’s neigh­ bours in a crisis.

BUT SURVIVAL, if it is going to be any­ thing more complex than what the “beasts of the field” engage in—and something more appropriate to a species with a history of achievements in Art & Science such as ours, will be based on averting disaster, not pre­ paring for it, and will begin with every per­ son’s deciding concciously to evolve beyond aggression.

Which means: I) putting an end to hostili­ ties in our personal realms, and 2 ) working creatively for peace in everything we do.

it would seem that many women have discovered that there is much to gaip in inequality of the sexes.

It would seem, that in Quebec at least, the scales of justice in divorce court are tipped more than slightly in favour of women. Perhaps this is deemed to be a way of evening things out when other situations favour men. However, women and their lawyers, who do what they can to exploit an archaic system of laws, promote a continued and bitter imbal­ ance of the sexes.

Custody of children is not much more evenly distributed than it was years ago.

Mothers, whether they work and can not spend any more time with their children than the father, are generally awarded custody. The myths of change reflected

S

Editorial

by television, movies and the few out­ standing cases of paternal custody re­ ported in the press, are not the rule.

Alimony is an entirely different ques­ tion. It is defined in one dictionary as “an allowance paid by a man to a woman after her legal separation of divorce from „him.” It is interesting to note that in the definition he pays her. In fact this is usual­ ly the case. One might wonder why? Peo­ ple generally do not pay rent for an apartment once the lease is up and they have moved. Why should anyone be forced bylaw to support a woman who has ceased to be his wife? Are these pay­ ments, perhaps, back pay for "services rendered” in the past? It would seem that if women refused alimony on the princi­ ple that they are independent beings, who

can direct their own lives, some respect might grow for women in one segment of society.

This in no way means that child sup­ port should be abolished, as well. How­ ever, each parent should contribute to half of the financial upkeep of children.

Child support payments should not be inflated to recoup losses on an alimentary pension.

In order for the pace of progress to­ wards equality of the sexes to accelerate, women must realize that they must accept the penalties and privileges that equality brings.

DINING IN A T M c G IL L

F o o d & B e v e ra g e R e p o rt

by Bill Tait If you eat or drink you might find this worth reading.

The Food and Beverage committee is a group of concerned ^ students and staff members who meet once every two weeks to discuss McGill’s F & B situation. The Com­ mittee’s main objective is to set F & B policy for campus feeding stations and watering holes, this includes such major operations as the main cafeteria and Gertrudes pub, as well as some of the smaller service counters and cafeterias on campus. The committee’s poli­ cies also affect any events where food or liqueur is considered as part of the event.

As I suspect that none of you are asking yourselves what you can do to help the F & B committee, 1 have decided the only logical path is to tell you what the Food and Bever­ age Committee can do for you.

Let us start off with the assumption that you find some campus F & B concerns less than completely, absolutely, anotherlongwordly perfect. As a rational human being you possess a capacity to solve problems and probably a related interest in so doing. Thus you come up with a great idea or suggestion which if implemented would tend to improve the situation. So how can we help you? Part of the Committee’s objective encompass receiving complaints, suggestions, etc. and acting in our fullest capacity to right any perceived wrongs.

The following topics were discussed in the last meeting: Cafeteria Event Policy

- Who should be allowed to use the cafeteria for events?

- Should Students Society’s money be spent assisting certain types of events?

- Are certainly events inappropriate for cafeteria use? Etc. Currently the cafeteria is available to stu­ dents on an advanced booking basis for events which require the use of kitchen facili­ ties for sit down style meals.

Problems involving the relatively high cost to the Society, and vandalism related to events in the cafeteria, prompted this discus­ sion.

Radio McGill

At this time Radio McGill broadcasts in the cafeteria and Gertrudes on a daily basis.

Some people have expressed the opinion that the format of programs being aired is inappropriate to; for example, the lunch time atmosphere in the cafeteria and so on.

The idea of developing a programing policy to better meet the needs of the students was put before the Committee. As an arguement to this it was stated that to keep their adver­ tising contracts Radio McGill needed the right to broadcast in Gertrudes. In addition to this it was felt that management was reluc­ tant to restrict the disc jockey’s choice of his own programming by instituting a some­

what more restrictive program policy.

Food Co-op

The idea of a food co-operative was also discussed. A co-op is an institution through which people buy items collectively making large volume discounts possible. Certain agreed upon items are purchased and dis­ tributed to members at very near cost price.

The following related problems arose: finding people willing to organise and administrate the co-op, finding storage space for items being purchased. It was noted that present refrigerated storage spaces are filled to their maximum capacities, they can’t take

any more captain. Thus new facilities would have to be found or built if students felt strongly enough about the idea.

The above were the major topics of discus­ sion at the last meeting.

If you have any feelings or suggestions about these topics and/or any other matters relating to F & B concerns, you can contact us by leaving a letter for Suzanne Byrnes, Chairperson Food and Beverage Commit­ tee, with the Student Society offices, in the Union building.

So eat, drink and be merry.

B a rre n L a n d sc a p e s

by Dan Pope

he m an w ho w as once hyped as “ th e fu tu re o f ro c k a n d ro ll” has chosen to try his han d as “the futu re o f folk.” Springsteen has foresaken his accomplished band-members and gone at it all by his lonesome here.

T

And boy does he need help. He’s never been much of a singer—recording studio devices improved many of his vocal shortcomings in

the past, and in front of live audiences his sheer energy compensates for melodic accu­ racy. He gets no help at all on Nebraska.

If I wanted an Arlo Guthrie album, 1 would have bought one. Sure, Springsteen always had a little folk in him (Ashbury Park, in particular) but that was one of the elements that made his rock and roll unique and interesting. Though Nebraska has been called “courageous” and “brave” by review­ ers, 1 think adjectives like “bland” and “mundane” would be more fitting.

Springsteen recorded these ten songs on a little mixer at his home. He uses acoustic

guitar, harmonica, and vocal chords. That’s all the instrumentation there is. Perhaps a rhythm section or Clarence Clemons’ sax might have livened up a few of these songs, but Springsteen even denied us that. He’s not very capable on any of the instruments. His strumming is sloppy and sounds muddy; his harmonica belongs around a fireside on “Bonanza” (or “The Big Valley"); his voice is as hoarse and off-key as ever. Some might argue that there is a stark “beauty” in Springsteen’s music; but pureness of purpose doesn’t overshadow musical ineptitude.

The cover-picture is in black and white (a shot through a car window of a desolate road); the video of “Atlantic City” is also done in black and white; the songs are meant to convey this barren, black and white mood—a depression landscape. Yet it is dif­ ficult to take seriously the lyrics (all dealing with social and economic issues) when they

are presented in such a bland musical setting.

He should be singing these songs on a rail­ road car somewhere in Nebraska—then the effect would be felt. Springsteen growls and groans song after song, each sounding like the last, burying his listener as he goes in predictable and muddy territory. 1 haven’t mentioned any of the Songs individually be­ cause they are indistinguishable to my listen­ ing ear.

And about this being a “brave” and “cour­ ageous” attempt: didn’t it sell a million or two copies before it was even released? How could anything with Springsteen’s name on it ever be a risk to his record company? I’ll bet he doesn’t do another album like this. That y/ould be risky. He might even lose the die­ hard fans who stuck with him through this one. Wouldn’t it be something though, de­ pression and all, if he could come up with another album like Born to Run?

Willy Hinz (by now you should know that this guy is news: captain of basketball Redmen ’8 1-"83, QU AA all-star, ’83 Rhodes scholar, and recipient of at least half a dozen of McGill’s most prestigious awards) has added another to his collection, a first for any Canadian: last week he was named 2nd team academic all-American by the NCAA. This award is presented to those students who dually exemplify high standards of achievement in academics and athletics. Willy’s accomplishments on the court are well-known to us all, but how many of you knew of his classroom smarts? Ya gotta hand it to a guy who pulls off stats like he does on the court ( 14.8 pts./9.0 rebs. per game avg.) and still manages a 3.9 G.P.A. in his spare time.

So they did.

Seems odd for a Canadian to win an all-American award, but this ‘all-America’ status actually refers to ‘all-North-American’ or so I'm told. In fact, the selections for all-Americans each year are made by a body known as NASID (North America Sports Information Directors), which includes representatives from all schools with nominees...so there!

by Glen Cunningham Rob Karas is at the crossroads of his ca­ reer. The McGill Redmen may be facing the problem of replacing their outstanding line­ man of 1982 because of school regulations regarding courses and eligibility. Karas graduates this year and his continuing stu­ dies will be undertaken outside of the McGill boundary regarding course instruction.

Karas will hold his BSc in Physical Therapy in Nov. and will be embarking on his Studies for acredjtation in Physiotherapy. That's where the problem comes in: the hospitals providing the internship do not fall under * McGill University jurisdiction and because of this fact Karas may face ineligibility.

Coach Charlie Baillie has expressed his desire to have number 50 back out with the Redmen but understands Karas’ position in pursuing his career. "Rob has a decision to make and “it is important to the team to have hint back” says the man with the task of rebuilding his offensive line. At this point Steve Zanolin, Steve Gedney, and Michel Cameron, are the returnees who will provide the protection and open the holes up front.

Karas has indicated his desire to play football but has also hinted that the direction of pursuit leans toward his internship, since he is anxious to get started with establishing his practice.

be parachuted into thejob of V.P. University Affairs through a Students’ Council ap­ pointment. Hicks remarked that that “was a possibility" but that the position was a polit­ ical appointment and thus would be difficult to get to.

The only other disappointment for Hicks was the failure of the Students’ Society fee increase to pass the referendum. The loss of

these additional fees coupled with inflation and the addition of an Executive Director’s salary (which was not paid this year) could cripple the Students’ Society budget for.next year. Hicks forecast some heavy sessions over the summer as some clubs may be faced with allowance cuts of up to 50%. No doubt this will have shock-waves rolling through the Union Building.

by E. Goldberg In the past few weeks, the names of two Redmen Hockey players have been cropping up in the papers. And here they are again.

Yes, the two QU AA All-Stars have made the news again. Forward George Burnett and defence Gilles Hudon are on their way to stardom.

George Burnett has recently been named to the CIAU All-Canadian Hockey team. He was the only rookie to make the team, and he finished the season as leading scorer in the QU AA and the CIAU. That’s right, the lead­ ing scorer in Canada. Burnett set the McGill single season point-scoring record with 6 6 total points. That record was previously held

by Gilles Hudon.

Hudon has just been named to the Cana­ dian National Hockey team. He is the only Quebec University athlete to have been chosen. The Redmen captain will leave for Leningrad on March 25 and play in a 4-game series, in the ‘Pravda’ Tournament. They then do the tour of Czechoslovakia, Ger­ many, and Sweden to play their national teams.

April 16 sees the World Hockey Cham­ pionships in Dortmund and Munich.'

This exhibition schedule is aimed at select­ ing 8-11 college players who will make form the nucleus of Canada’s 1984 Winter Olym­ pic team.
