Frankly, Scarlet...

by Brian Todd Once an all-male society designed to welcome visiting dignitaries, foreign students and to serve at ceremonial oc­ casions and sporting events, the Scarlet Key is now one of McGill’s most prestigious awards. The Scarlet Keys are awarded annually today by the Graduates Society with funding from the Dean of Students, to recognize outstanding students who have played a major leadership role at McGill in student activities.

The awards are given without pre­ judice to academics, aside from the fact that the recipient must be in satisfactory academic standing with the University. As well, the Keys are given not to those who may have belonged to

a large number of clubs but rather to those who have taken a strong leader­ ship role. In the words of Joan Vance one fo the co-ordinators for the Selec­ tion Committee, “ Having attended every Engineering Pub during all your years at McGill is not enough.” In ad­ dition, candidates are expected to have an array of interests, not necessarily in one year, however.

Scarlet Key winners are chosen through a somewhat unique process.

Prospective key winners must apply themselves to the committee in order to be eligible for the award. This method, the Selection Committee hopes, en­ sures that the Committee has a corncontinued on page 3

Council Sets Fee Increase, Supports Daily Increase

by Brian Todd The Students’ Council at last Wednesday’s Council meeting agreed to ask for a $18 increase, only the third increase in fees to the Society in twenty years. It is intended to alleviate the deficit financing the Students’ Society is currently practising. As well, Students’ Council passed a motion in support of a Daily fee increase and strongly decrying any effort to withdraw funding from the Daily.

The student councillors decided to support a motion from the Executive Committee on the advice of Paul Mc­ Cann and John Shifman, the Executive Director and Comptroller respectively, to ask for the increase in the referen­ dum to be held on February 15 and 16.

As well, a fee increase program was outlined by Clubs Rep to Council, Scott Keating. The campaign stresses public awarness of the referendum as well as the necessity of the increase.

The campaign will hopefully involve all councillors speaking to classes supplimented by posters, leaflets and advertisements both in the D aily and the Tribune. Keating stressed the students desire for facts, “ they want to know where their money is spent.”

Keating reminded councillors that it would be a monumental task to make students aware of a fee increase ques­ tion and that the Executive Committee needed all of their support.

In a motion put forward by Scott Keating and Marcy Vigoda, Clubs Reps to Council, the Students’ Council endorsed the Daily Publications Socie­ ty’s fee increase request of $1 per year per student. This would raise the D aily

fees from $5 per year to $6 per year.

The motion recognized the hard finan­ cial times and the need for increased funding. As well, the motion rejected the principle of withdrawing funds from the D aily by making the fees payable to the D aily optional.

A motion put forward to support the Trudeau Peace Proposal by Patrick Gagnon Vice-President (External Af­ fairs) and Tim Baikie (Law Senator) was passed by Students’ Council. The motion will be sent to Trudeau to add McGill’s support to his current peace mission.

A new representative from the M edical S tudents’ Society, Neil Wright, was warmly welcomed by Council and installed as a non-voting member until the Situation with the MSS is regularized.

Council agreed in principle to an amendment to the constitution which would include the SIR (Student In­ itia te d R e fe re n d u m ) p ro p o s a l.

However, there was not enough time to fully ratify the changes to the Constitu­ tion. This motion will be back on the agenda at this week’s council meeting, tomorrow night.

Principal David L . Johnston and President Bruce H icks open up the palatial Mitz, McGill’s own nightclub, a welcome relief for study-numb McGillians.

Furniture

by Colin McGregor

Doesn’t it seem as if a day hardly goes by without some obnoxious media know-it-all launching an ill-considered diatribe against furniture? It may be tren­ dy to join the anti-furniture lobby these days, but I for one think that all this madness must stop, and stop now. Furniture is our frien d.

Now we have all heard the stock arguments against tables and chairs. They are a carcenogen, some say; still others claim that they cause cancer. This may be true, but we must still weigh the risks of being furniture owners and operators in a democratic society, and compensate accordingly. Can I say to my fellow being, “ No, Mr. or Mrs. John Q. Public, you can not own furniture because you may misuse it and harm yourself.” ? No; this is paternalism in its most insidious form, and all good citizens in a free society must oppose this, as soon as they look up the meanings of the words “ Paternalism” and “ Insidious” .

The Emperor Nero once said “ Aléa Jacta Est,” which means “ The die is cast.” Could he have said this without having had a table to gamble on? Where would he have thrown his die? On the ground, it could have got lost behind a little bitty shrub, or perhaps a statue of Isaac Newton. Or, the die clearly could have sunk in the water, and he would have had to hire divers to retrieve it, thus costing the Treasury at the time money better spent on Roman Social Programs. The an­ cients therefore needed, and owned, furniture — the bright ones anyway.

Furniture has a status in our society that raises it above the level of other ob­ jects found around the house, such as hearing aids and riding crops.

Wars are planned on furniture, treaties are signed on furniture, and people recline on furniture. And although furniture poetry is rather limited, tables and chairs are mentioned in Shakespeare 4765 times. Or thereabouts. In Britain, when somebody is appointed to a University they are given a ‘Chair’. Here, all they are given are ‘Posts’. Is it any wonder that our educational standards are on the decline? Who needs a post? I, for one, do not half as much as M ark’s girlfriend needs one.

In conclusion, let it be known that this article has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Mark made me argue against the Winter Olympics last week in this space. The fact that I was forced to attack the world’s premier amateur spor­ ting fest is immaterial. I have an obligation to argue a two-sided topic, unlike Unctious Mark, who gives me the raw end of the deal week after week after week.

So furniture it is — and all fu rn itu re should continue to exist in our society.

Bonne chance. Ontarien._______

Colin, stop your whimpering and Jew-baiting. Your attempt at revenge is pathetic. If you can’t find anything wrong with the Winter Olympics, you’re in the wrong business. And if you think that making me argue against furniture is a punishment, you are sadly mistaken. For what you seem to forget is that I am an Arts Student... worse yet a third year Arts Student... worse still a verbose and pedantic third year Arts Student. And if there is one thing I have learned in 3 years of verbose and pedantic Arts Studenting, it’s that no position is too weak or ridiculous to argue for, that nothing exists which can’t form the subject of a 20-page paper. So an article against furniture? Why not.

(The first step required in building an Arts argument is the creation o f a fine­ grained, academic and meaningless distinction.) So Step 1. Precisely what furniture are we talking about? Lumping great sleeping couches with unbearable bean bag dinner chairs is foolish. (The second step is to build on your pointless distinction.)

Step 2. It is clear that so m e furniture should definitely n ot exist. The greatest social evil is done by the furniture you find in the houses of aging relatives. The plasticcovered chairs that stick to your legs in shorts, the Early American Ugly coffee-table the sole purpose of which is to support bowls of plastic fruit and waxed nuts, these have to go. And so does the furniture made out of wood...

(The third step is to authoritatively and pallaciously link the issue in question with issues of overriding national or global concern.) Step 3. Since furniture is made out of wood and wood kills trees (more trees annually than ACID RAIN) it leaves nothing for our prized Canadian beaver to build its life-sustaining dams with. No Beaver means having to survive with a Louis XIV hide-a-bed on the back side of our nickels.

(The fourth step is to make sweeping, pretentious analogies and deductions.) Step 4. The peace-loving godhead M ahatma Gandhi scorned all furniture (save an Lazyboy recliner he liked to curl up and fast in) while Hitler and Stalin were both obsess­ ed with all forms of tables and chairs. In fact, the Führer would go nowhere without his favourite dinette set and, during his last days had the bunker renovated to make room for it. The link between global aggression and furniture is a clear one.

(The fifth step is to reverse cause and effect, hope for laughs, and throw in anything that pops into your head.) Step 5. Furniture causes decorators, unbearable fops who prance around your house screaming, “ Darling, that’s just darling” and “ Aqua, that loveseat has to be A qua.” Furniture causes local television furniture commercials as well, 30 seconds worth of the owner and his son screaming and gesturing like Carol Meril on acid. And finally, furniture causes movers, 700-pound fellows named Guido who like nothing better than to practice their end Zone touchdown spikes with Ming vases.

A world without furniture would be a world without movers, decorators and plastic fruit, it would be a Gandhian beaver-filled paradise in which all could aspire to happiness and freedom without the threat of Nazi or Soviet Totalitarianism or Hide-A-bed nickels. Try again Colin.

----------------aspire to happiness and freedom without the threat of Nazi or Soviet Totalitarianism or Hide-A-bed nickels. Try again Colin.

Scarlet... continued from page 1 plete résum é o f the recipients achievements. Moreover, the hopeful must supply two references connected with the activities he is involved in, for the Committee. The Selection Commit­ tee, headed-up by law students Joan Vance and Scott Keating, is made up of students or recent graduates from across campus who are all past Scarlet Key winners. Thus the committee is a group of peers who are hopefully non­ partisan and reflective of the McGill community. After the application forms are reviewed initially, interviews are set-up for people whose forms are incomplete or to whom the Committee wishes to speak. The application forms are due by February 29 and the inter­

views are held March 12-15. After the interviews the Selection Committee picks out the winners who are inform­ ed by April 1 and a gala dinner is held to honour the winners in April. This event is sponsored by The Graduates’ Society. Finally at convocation the Scarlet Key recipients don scarlet robes and, hearkening back to their days as a service groups, aid the graduating class in and out of the auditorium and on to the stage.

Although the awards are to be ap­ plied for by the recipient, if you know the ideal candidate, convince him or her to apply. If they are unwilling, app­ ly for them but make sure to include all the relevant data that will ensure that they are considered for McGill’s Scarlet Key.

It is common knowledge that most courses at McGill are not without thier flaws.

In fact, to the masses which have endured such purgatories as Cal II, Management Stats., and Bio. 200, this may quaify as one of the understatements of the year.

In an effort to realize these flaws and provide a forum for student disgruntlement, department administrators hand out course evaluation form at the end of the semester. These.are often quite comprehensive, encompassing many aspects of the course. Unfortunately, the range of comments offered to the dissatisfied student is very small. At most, he or she can ‘strongly disagree’ that so and so is a model pro1 fessor, one who is attentive to student needs, whose lectures are well organized and whose testing scheme is fair. Although a non-computerized portion is available for elaboration of student opinions, this section is often smaller in size and its process­ ing is more difficult to expedite, hence it is rendered subordinate. The consequence of this is that the student’s strongest reactions to a course are not taken note of. To remedy this situation, a new typ e of course evaluation form is needed, one that uses more colourful language and more accurate statements in its main body. Such a questionnaire might take on the following format: COURSE EVALUATION FORM: name of course

To the Editor of the McGill Tribune: I have, in the past, always enjoyed “ Dialogue on Issues” as a light­ hearted, amusing battle of wisecracks.

However, the column regarding the Winter Olympics (Jan. 31) stooped below the level of common decency.

Certain incidents, in this case the kill­ ing of Israeli athletes in the Munich Games of 1972, are not material for off-handed humour. Tragedies do not lose their effect over time and never do they become “ funny” . Not only was this article insulting to the readers, it was degrading to the Tribune and its standards. In the future, I hope that a bit more discretion is exercised by the editors.

“ I love being a writer. What I can’t stand is the paperwork.”

—Peter de Vries

Who is Donald Kingsbury ?

by Stephen Fraser Donald Kingsbury is a math pro­ fessor at McGill University. He is also the author of “ Courtship Rite” , a science fiction work which was nominated for the prestigious Hugo Award as best novel of the year.

Though he lost to Isaac Asimov, he did very well in the voting for an unknown author, especially since this was his first book. However, it was not the first time he had been in print. He wrote articles on multiple-partner mar­ riages, the sins of Christianity, and the immorality of God in the Daily during the 1950s.“ I was one of the rabblerousers th e re ,” says Kingsbury. “ These subjects were extremely con­ troversial back then.” Later in the ’60s he prom oted educational reform through those same pages.

Donald Kingsbury was born in San Francisco and spent a period of his childhood growing up in Africa. In 1948, after having failed his first year at McGill, he went to work for a chemical company yet later returned, graduating with first class honours in 1956. During his early years at McGill he wrote short stories and articles to help pay his tuition. Two of these were published in “ Astounding Science Fic­ tion” (now Analog). Enthusiasm well­ ed and he decided to write full length works; one a science fiction adventure titled “ The Finger Pointing Solward” and the other a mainstream novel about a runaway Catholic girl and a Jewish heretic. This was his biggest mistake. He stated “ I was writing novels when I should have continued to write shorts until I had made a name for myself.” Nobody was willing to publish his books and that is the last we hear of Don Kingsbury, outside of his work at the Daily, for a long time.

By the 1970s, he was ready to change his strategy. He got over what he says was extreme shyness and started atten­ ding science-fiction conventions to talk with people in this business. He also decided he would continue to write short stories in order to gain recogni­ tion. Two appeared in 1978 and 1979; there came “ Shipwright” and “ To Bring In The Steel” . One was set in the same universe as “ Courtship Rite” , the other, a tale of adventure in the asteroid belt. Following them was “ The Moon Goddess And The Son” .

It was nominated for a Hugo as best novella in 1980. He also co-wrote a couple of articles on near-earth space exploration with Roger Arnold, an aerospace engineer. One of the shorts 'he was working on kept building in detail until he decided to expand it fur­ ther. Thus was born “ Courtship Rite” .

Don Bensen, a science fiction editor for Dell, met Kingsbury at The World Science Fiction Convention in Miami.

Always on the lookout for new authors, Benson invited Kingsbury to submit the work he had done on the book. He did and six months passed.

In the meantime, science fiction an­ thology publisher Terry Carr, a friend

of Kingsbury’s who had published some of his stories, was talking to David Hartwell then new sci-fi editor for Pocket Books. Hartwell was seek­ ing writers and C arr suggested Kingsbury. They met at a convention and Hartwell asked to see “ Courtship Rite” . Don then sent a letter to Dell asking Bensen to return his book seeing as how Pocket was interested. Bensen signed him instead! But Dell dropped its science fiction line suddenly in 1980, and Hartwell, still interested in signing Don, bought his contract for three times Dell’s price.

Don knew if he wanted his book to sell, a Hugo nomination would be of substantial help. That is exactly what he aimed for. Before releasing “ Court­ ship Rite” in July of 1982, he arranged to have it serialized in “ Analog” so that, from February to April ’82, the book received pre-release exposure. In November it was chosen as the lead ti­ tle for the Science Fiction Book Club.

He got enough readership to secure his nomination.

Don informed me that the paper­ back version of his book has been sell­ ing quite well in North America

U

“ Courtship Rite” has also been translated into French, German, and D utch. . The French tran slatio n , “ Parade N uptial” , published by Denoel, is currently available in Mon­ treal. “ Courtship Rite” is sold in most bookstores, the nearest one to campus being the Paragraph Bookstore which Don asked me to mention because of their support o f the book.

Don is currently at work on turning “ The Moon Goddess And The Son” into a novel. It deals with the next thir­ ty years and what might happen during that time in space exploration. “ We’re at a take-off point right now,” he says, “ just like aviation was in the 1920s.”

He talks about the next thirty years as if it will hold more surprises than we can imagine. It seems we haven’t seen anything yet.

Don also plans to write more books in the same setting as “ Courtship Rite” and would like to see “ The Finger Pointing Solward” in print someday. I have a distinct feeling we “ ain’t seen nothin’ yet” from Donald Kingsbury.

I would like to express sincere gratitude to Professor Kingsbury for the time

b y J o e y Q u a lu d e

Yes that’s right gossip-mongers, you are now reading the contents of my col­ umn and I’m Joey Qualude. Before I launch into the world of tattle-taling and gossip, I suppose being the in­ telligent university students that you are, you will want to know how credi­ ble I am. Well dear gossip fans, I have worked for the best. (Best what I did not say!). Actually some of you pro­ bably know me best from my “ Eggs and Gossip” commentary on Radio McGill — since I consider myself to be Radio McGill’s entertainment cor­ respondent. As for my sources, I cover Canadian gossip, although nothing much ever happens in Canada: (except for the adventures of “ P .M .P .P .” which stands for Prime Minister Playboy Pierre): In the U.S., covering Tinseltown in particular, are cousins and friends of mine who live in hot tubs all day (lucky ducks) in Pasadena and Merced, California. So there you have it. You may now pick up your telephones, and don’t worry I have already warned Bell Canada that there will be a circuit overload when people read and attempt to pass on these juicy stories.

B efo re g e ttin g y o u r engines overheated though, we should take a moment to thank the gents and ladies at the McGill Program Board for hav­ ing put together a wonderful carnival.

My first gin and 7up tonight will be for you guys. Thank’s a million! Now to start, how about talking about everyone’s favorite punching bag, (no, not M ichael Jackson, he’s been punch­ ed so much lately that he just burnt up.

That was cruel wasn’t it?) I am tal^' about B rooke Shields. Apart from the wisdom she donated to us on smoking, she now reveals that the secret to her high marks at Princeton U. (Ra! Ra!) is color stimulation. According to Brooke, red stimulates her memory, so she always takes a red scarf, pen, notebook, and even a Smurf eraser to her exams. I think Brooke has been sniffing that deodorant of her’s too

much. Singer B illy Jeol and gal-pal Christie B rinkley may be walking up that special isle very soon. Not only has Billy made it a habit to write songs for her lately, they were also spotted in New York doing the rounds of the top Jewelry stores and no, they were not looking for Seiko watches; they were at the Engagement ring counter. Wedding bells are also ringing for John Ritter of Three’s Company. Of course he is already married! Did I say he left his wife? I’m sure you have already heard that the whole cast is leaving the show.

Therefore, to begin a new story line, Jack Tripper will fall for a gal who will be introduced in the last few episodes of the show this season so that they can tie the knot on the new spinoff series which will air next season. While I am on the subject of final episodes, to the avid fans of Falcon Crest myself in­ cluded, I impart the knowledge that a plane carrying most of the shows characters will crash... and...! Did you think I would give it all to you this week? You definitely don’t know me very well. Stay tuned for the rest of that one.

It has come to my attention that there is a beautiful apartment for sale but there are two catches. The apart­ ment is in New York and it will set you back a cool million. Of course I should have told you that it belonged to newlyweds M ary Tyler M oore and Dr. S. R o b ert Levine.

by Stephen Fraser John Saul writes horror stories. He has had much success with the books writeen under Dell’s panache. Punish The Sinners, When The W ind B low s

and The G o d P ro ject serve as apt ex­ amples. Saul’s horror operates along different lines; they are not only scary, they leave you scarred psychologically.

You are literally bothered for days after you have completed your reading.

Most of his works employ similar plot devices, specifically: the theme of children going through some sort of “ hell” . If you wish to read something a little different from the standard “ haunted house” , “ I-married-thedevil” type story, give Saul a try. Be forwarned, his books should not be essayed by those with chronic heart conditions.

Mary Higgins Clark’s A Stranger Is W atching (Dell Books) has been available in paperback format for a couple of years. If you haven’t had the pleasure of persuing its prose, then do so. The novel offers a good mix of mystery and suspense, which (in its own way) deals with the ever-constant debate on the Death Penalty. The plot is slow on the up-take, but by the time you reach the novel’s mid-point, you find yourself turning page after page.

Like all novels of the same ilk, this one manages to resolve all piercing pro­ blems by the end. However, Clark does throw in a few twists and turns which make this a must.

C elebrity (Warner) concerns itself

the Lines

with three buddies living in a small American community. It begins at a high school graduation party which goes awry. Events there throw our bud­ dies into horror and haunt them through the rest of their lives. Written

by Thomas Thompson, the novel cap­ tures the feel of each character as he becomes the best at what he has chosen to be. Slightly surrealistic touches add texture and enjoyment; the story con­ cludes in fast and furious fashion as the past rears its ugly head. Watch for the mini-series on NBC later this month!

I’ve always had a penchant for King Arthur stories. My favourite personage in the “ matters of Britain” has always been the enigmatic wizard, Merlin. I consider Mary Stewart’s prose on these “ matters” as the best of the genre. Her Arthurian sagas revolve arond the life and times of Merlin, whereas other meander on events from an Arthurian, Lancelottian and/or Gawainian point of view. Clearly, such works as The C rystal C ave and The L a st E nchant­ m ent feature the best of Merlin.

Stewart’s new Merlin novel, The W ick­ ed D a y will soon see release as a paper­ back. Devotees of the Arthurian legends are also advised to be on the lookout for Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The M ists o f A valon . Bradley, veteran science-fiction and fantasy writer, has been receiving race reviews for said work.

Recent paperback releases include: Arthur C. Clarke’s 2070; O dyssey Two

(Del Ray), a stunning sequel to 2001 which submits exciting concepts in computer and astronomy to readers.

Stephen King’s Christine is a be­ witching tale of a boy and his car. A return to form for King whose previous novel, C ujo, was universally panned.

Will King ever stop writing? Just as you think you catch up, he releases a n o th e r h a rd -c o v e r n o vel. P e t C em etary is the work King was always

terrified to write. It is just as terrifying to read.

Finally Indecent E xposure, by David McClintick (Dell) explores the world of movie-industry négociations, specifically, the connections between Columbia Pictures and Wall Street.

This connection wound up black­ listing many famous actors and ac­ tresses. It is a fascinating, eye-opening account into life with the glitter-dome.

No Reason Not To Go

by Kathleen Carey On the urging of my brother I in­ vestigated what was behind those im­ posing doors at the Redpath Museum.

Contrary to popular belief, the building is open and welcomes McGill University staff, faculty and students from 9-5 Monday through Friday.

Staffer Ingrid Birker is even thinking of putting “ open” signs outside the building to encourage more people to come in. Behind these doors lie a 102 year old tradition of natural history. In 1882 the building was the first in Canada to be built specifically for the purpose o f housing a museum.

Another first was the women’s educa­ tion classes it held in its auditorium in 1884 the first at McGill. The classes were taught by Sir William Dawson to whom the museum is dedicated. The building itself was donated to the university by Peter Redpath whose name is memorialized by the Redpath Undergraduate Library. Sir William Dawson’s achievements were far reaching and included the buildup of the largest collection of fossil plants in Canada. Once open to the public, Red­ path Museum is now private and em­ phasizes teaching and research.

Various faculties such as geology, oceanography and anthropology con­ duct classes and labs in the Museum.

The Montreal Field Naturalists, Gem and Mineral Club and Sigma Xi are just three groups that also meet in the Museum. Two to three times a week, fine art classes meet to practise their art

on various displays.

The Museum is filled with displays of fish, fossils, mummies, skulls, birds, mammals and more. There are over three quarters of a million zoological and geological specimens alone. Ingrid Birker added that there were thousands of articles that lay cluttered downstairs in a room dubbed the Glory Hole, waiting to be rediscovered. My favorite item in the Museum is a huge chunk of a Douglas Fir that was 500 + years old when it was cut down in British Colum­ bia. On the wood are stickers chronologically marking important world events during the life of the tree (1345-1878). For those people who are not overly enthused about such ex­ hibits, there is something else which makes the Museum particularly ap­ pealing; its unique neo-classical ar­ chitecture. Architecture seminars are often held in the auditorium. For­ tunately the Museum was declared a heritage building and therefore may not |)e altered or destroyed, the auditorium is an interesting one: small, almost circular and with high backed bench seats. It gives off an air of sturdy elegance. For all the patrons of Leacock 132 or 26 this Museum auditorium is a priceless antique and view of the past. This auditorium will play host to a lunchtime film series sponsored by the Museum Staff and Oceanography Department entitled “ The Sea” running each Friday star­ ting Feb. 17. The staff will also con­ duct guided tours of tfie Museum

throughout February and March by reservation.

So although you may not see people going through the Museum doors it is teeming with life. Between 50-100 peo­ ple visit it each day. Increased student interest, participation and comments are encouraged. A showcase in the museum is offered to students who have collections they would like to display. Eight to twelve students volunteer their services in exchange for

the experience they gain preparing displays and working in the labs.

Anyone who is interested in becoming more involved with the museum can talk to any of the twelve staffpersons.

If for no other reason than to say you’ve been there, you should at least visit the Museum once (remember your I.D.). Thanks goes to Ingrid Birker for information and enthusiasm for the Redpath Museum.

A nnie will bid farew ell

by Arcie Jones Last Friday night, the Martlet cagers took sole passession of 2nd place in the QUAA, after beating Laval University by a score of 82-56. Early on, with Helene Cowan at the commands, the Martlets took the lead and never let it go. Although the rouge et or stayed within range through most of the first half, the 2nd period saw McGill’s ex­ plosive offense take over. While Shanda Franco and Annie Constantinides were setting up the attack using their favorite targets in Marya Bobyn and Nancy Villemure, the game was blown wide open to give the above-mentioned final result.

Previously in the week, last Tuesday night, the McGill women had scared us all, in giving the Concordia Stingers a fighting chance. It wasn’t that Concor­ dia was playing particularly well, but the Martlets were “ spoon-feeding” them with free baskets at the foul line.

The consequence was that, after their

most pitiful half of the season, the Martlets were down 8 and had a total of 16 team fouls.

In the second half, McGill tried to forget the first 20 minutes of play and started anew, warm-up and all. For a while however, it seemed that coach Lacroix’s strategy was in vain, as McGill was down 12, a couple of minutes into the half. Nevertheless, when veteran Marya Bobyn capitalized on a 3 point play opportunity the Martlets initiated one of their famed comebacks. Led by Michele Poupore and Shanda Franco (just back from a wrist injury), the game was thrown into overtime. Good offensive choices on patient plays enabled our team to final­ ly win it 71-67.

The Martlets will again host the Concordia Stingers TONIGHT, at 20hoo in the Currie Gymnasium, in their last home game of the regular season.

Management Tradition Opens

by France Ciambella Amidst the madness and hysteria of Management Carnival week, a group of forty eager volunteers are busy with the final details for this year’s Manage­ ment Faculty Auction. With all pro­ ceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society, this day-long event, to be held on February 8th, in the Bronfman Cafeteria, has turned into a massive endeavor. It is expected to surpass the record $5000 collected two years ago.

More than 270 businesses were con­ tacted to make donations of merchan­ dise and services which shall be auc­ tioned. Despite the economic hardships faced by many enterprises, the list of goods donated includes sports’ equip­ ment, white-water rafting weekends, calculators, dinners-for-two, typing services, haircuts, clothing, plants, gift certificates, books, gas, stereo equip­ ment, and much much more.

The auction itself is entertaining: as

well as student auctioneers, sports celebrities and radio personalities will auction of goods. The originator of the auction nine years ago, (surprised that the auction still exists,) will attend. Dr. Joseph Shusta, a prominent cancer researcher from The Montreal General Hospital, will help promote the sinceri­ ty and worthfulness of the cause. Joe Galatt, coach of the Concordes, will make an appearance with a few players; Bobby Smith of the Canadiens ^

The auction draws a crowd of about 3000 people. The emphasis on this year’s auction is to open it to the rest of McGill. While technically in past years all were invited, the auction remained virtually unkown to everyone but those students with classes in the Bronfman Building. The auction committee has made a point of advertising the event to all faculties and in every building.

Some volunteers are Management students. Some come from different faculties.

Officials at the Canadian Cancer Society have stressed that funds are urgently needed for research to con­ tinue. Since the time of Terry Fox, fun­ draising has dropped drastically. Fur­ thermore, as advances in finding a cure for the disease are made daily, resear­ chers and doctors are encouraged to pursue their research. This has become very costly, as well as vital.

Alpine Ski Team Takes Charge

by Dean Foti After two weekends of racing so far this season, the McGill Alpine Ski Team is once again showing its championship form from last year. The defending QUAA championship m en’s team holds a narrow lead over Laval (605-581 points), while UQAM is a more distant third w ith 437 points. On the women’s side, McGill is cur­ rently in 4th place, but is less than 90 points away from 1stplace Concordia. McGill leads in c o m b in e d m e n ’s a n d women’s with Laval only a few points off the pace. The circuit has tremendously increased in calibre this year (with some exN a tio n a l a n d P ro v in c ia l members racing), and it appears that it will be a very hotlycontested season, especially bet­ ween McGill and Laval, rivals from last year.

The first weekend of races was held up north at Mt. Garceau on January 21-22. The event was giant slalom, tradi­ tionally the weakest discipline of the McGill team. The Laval men’s team came out with a fly­ ing start, as they ended off the weekend with a total of 347 points compared to McGill’s 295.

John Dingle, the m en’s overall winner from last year’s

circuit, placed 5th for McGill on Saturday, and grabbed a bronze medal in Sunday’s giant slalom.

Louis Beauchemin put in a notable performance in Satur­ day’s race by placing fourth, which was superb considering that he had arived late and neither had time to inspect the course nor take a run on his skis. Two newcomers to the men’s team, Jan Splavinsky and Avrum Soicher, placed 7th and 14th respectively on Saturday.

The women’s team was boosted by the 7th-place finish of a fine rookie, Rachel Daoust.

Undaunted by the non firstplace finish at Mt. Garceau, the McGill team went into the slalom races the next weekend at Mt. Gabriel with great expec­ tations. The spirit of the team was dem o n strated by the m essage “ M cGill no. 1” stamped out in huge letters at the base of the hill on Saturday morning. Perhaps inspired by the news of Steve Podborski’s victory earlier that morning, McGill soared into 1st place by winning the men’s slalom with a 25-point margin over UQAM, and the women tieing for 3rd.

On some treacherously turny and rutted courses on the in­ famous ‘Tamarac’ run, Splavin­ sky showed excellent form by winning the gold medal for

McGill on Saturday. Unfor­ tunately, he had a binding release prematurely in Sunday’s race. Beauchemin put in a solid weekend of skiing, as he obtain­ ed a 4th place finish on Satur­ day, and a silver medal on Sun­ day. Dingle, being fairly consis­ tent, placed 4th on Sunday.

Other top finishers for McGill On Saturday were Soicher in 10th, Claude Walton in 11th, and Dean Foti in 17th. Soicher had an outstanding 1st place time" on Sunday morning’s course, but a little too much ‘relaxing’ resulted in him strad­ dling the second-last gate in the afternoon.

On the women’s side, Daoust advanced her placement from the last race by having the se­ cond fastest run on Saturday afternoon’s course, finishing 4th overall. On Sunday, another new skier to the team, Julie Car­ rier, finished a very respectable 5th place.

Overall, the McGill alpine ski team is in very fine form this season, both due to veteran’s from last year and the strong contingent of rookies. The next races will be this upcoming weekend in Quebec City, con­ sisting o f two slaloms. McGill is looking to broaden its lead, even though they will be on Laval’s home territory. Good luck to the team!

Fencing Team Wins

by Kate Sinclair Once again the McGill Fenc­ ing Team were overall winners at the third A.S.U.Q. competi­ tion of the year at Laval U. on Sunday, January 29. After a chilly three-hour bus ride to Quebec and with four of the men’s foil fencers and two of the women still recovering from the Dubonnet open class in­ dividual tournament held the day before in Ottawa, the team managed to bounce back, right to the top.

In sabre, Mike Carey, Dun­ can Day, Lionel de Chabris, James Turner, and Lesly Wade let Ottawa U., McGill’s only competition, take only one of sixteen bouts.

by Frank Young The McGill Redmen basket­ ball team has solidified its hold on first place in the QUAA with a pair of convincing victories over the Bishop’s Gaiters and the Concordia Stingers. They beat the Gaiters 72-61 and the Stingers 82-66.

On Friday, January 27, the Redmen blew open what had been a close game late in the se­ cond half. The game was tied at 51 with just over seven minutes to play when McGill pumped in ten straight points against a Bishop’s defence that seemed determined to give the game away.

A Vilhelm Boggild jumper opened the floodgates. Simon Onabowale, who led all scorers with 22 points, and Carlo Del Bosco helped to bury the Gaiters. When Bishops best player Nick Van Herk fouled out a few minutes later, the game was, for all intents and purposes, over.

Tuesday night the Redmen entertained second place Con­ cordia in front of 700 fans at the Currie Gym. Led by the amaz­ ing play of Carlo Del Bosco, the home team built up an early tw elve-point lead. M cGill benefitted from sloppy play by

u

the Stingers 95 well as from g o o d p e rfo rm a n c e s fro m Claude Brière and Ken Tucker in maintaining a 36-29 halftime lead.

The second half was a festival of chippy play and poor officating. The half had absolute­ ly no flow to it, as the teams took turns exchanging free th ro w s. F o r tu n a te ly , the Redmen shoot 80 per cent from the line, so the game was never really close.

A few words must be said about the shoddy officiating in the QUAA. Early in the game, the referee seemed content to let the players push and elbow each other. This was a big mistake, as the refs lost all control of the game. In the second half, bla­ tant fouls were ignored, while marginal penalties were whistl­ ed down. I have yet to see a

game in this league where the referees had real control over the action on the court.

Against the Stingers, Vilhelm Boggild temporarily lost his outside shot. The rest of the Redmen picked up the slack well, and when Vilhelm regain­ ed his touch, the game had already been decided. Leading scorer for McGill was Carlo Del Bosco with 28 points.

After the Stinger game, the Redmen owned a 5-0 record.

Concordia, last year’s QUAA champions, were second at 3-2.

Bishop’s and Trois Rivières were both 1-4.

Foul Shots: Coach Pomykala attributes the team’s success to the fact that they take one game at a time... As he said, the team “ can not let up” against any team ... Simon Onabowale now leads the league in scoring...

Lovat, McGill Instructional Athletics Instructor of Sumari Karate and owner and founder of Academie D ’Art Physique brought his entourage in for a fast-paced demonstration of self-defense techniques, in­ cluding (sumari style), Board breaking (Ate Watza) and dance (aerobic, jazz ballet).

The performers, all members of Lovat’s Academie D’Art Physique (1121 St. Catherine), provided onlookers with an outstanding display of balance and movement and technical ex­ cellence in the art forms that Academie D’Art is rapidly becoming renowned for.

(Academie D’Art Physique is the only studio of its kind in Canada offering Karate and dance instruction combined.

L o v a t h a s p a te n te d th e concept.)

The show opened with a flourish, with dancers Priscillia Jacquart and Melanie Goldberg offering a dazzling duet of aerobic dance excercises to set the pace.

Sumari students Bruce Entus and Daniel Da-re illustrated many of the self-defense techni­ ques taught in Lovat’s classes.

As well, Bruce and Daniel put on demonstration of weapons control and an intricate routine of Sai (swords).

Nicole Villeneuve and Janet Jo n es m ade b elievers o f everyone in their subduing o f ' “ attacker” Ilqrio Pedron.

Danny Da-re did a ‘nun cha ku’ demonstration and black belt five-year student Eugene Gulko silenced the crowd with a stirring ‘piaw’, in a series of martial arts moves (60 in all), many much too quick for the in­ experienced eyes of the audience to capture.

Lovat’s Ate Watza students set up for their wood breaking d e m o n s tr a tio n N ic o le Villeneuve broke a single board with a shuto (chop). Janet Jones broke two one-inch boards with

an empi (elbow strike) and three boards with a front kick show­ ing her might. Da-re and Entus a lso sh o w ed e le c trify in g quickness in smashing through wood with deft hits of power.

Ilario Pedron broke three oneinch boards with a letter-perfect side kick.

The show reserved the best for last as Master Richard Lovat set up a stack of wood (10 one-inch boards!) To the sound of inspiration composed by stu­ dent Da-re, Lovat went into his, trance-like psyche. (“ Focusing my key” ). Lovat moved to the awesome stack drew back his hand slowly, carefully measur­ ing the contact point. With the huge gathering crowding closer with each approach, the music stopped, Lovat went into his final approach. Then suddenly, with a resounding crack, Lovat made the neatly piled stack of wood into splinters with a devestating palm thrust.

Lovat smiled his eyes still ablaze from his psyche-up, and perspiration foaming on his forehead. “ I never leave anything stan­ ding,” he said quietly, “ I never promise to break it all in one hit, but I always promise the stack will be broken.”

Lovat, incidently, ( does not stress the board breaking devestation of his art. Instead, he ta lk s o f s h a rin g his knowledge in the teaching of all1 facets of the martial arts, most of all the areas of calm control and knowing oneself.
