U p o n entering th e co n tra ct w ith C .V .C ., the S tu d en ts’ S o ciety was guaranteed a low er increase in prices as w ell as ren ovation s undertaken by a private contractor rather than P h ysical P la n t (and thus at sub stan tially reduc ed prices). W hen interview ed o n the subject, G race P erm aul, P resident o f the S tu d en ts’ S o ciety , stated that the d eci sion to enter in to a con tract w ith C .V .C . reflected , “ a change in fo cu s for the E xecutive C om m ittee from beer and p izza to p o litic s.” She con tin u ed , that despite this change in fo c u s, the E xecu tive C om m ittee w anted to m a in tain the high level o f service com b in ed w ith the q u ality o f service that had been o ffered in th e past.

THE THIRD DIMENSION__ 3 Editor Vents Spleen satisfaction of seeing your work in print more than makes up for the amount of time spent creating it. This newspaper offers a training ground for bigger and better papers. All it takes to become involved is a short trip to the basement of the Student Union. If you don’t have the time or the inclination to get involved in the paper but would like to have something changed or feel that we need to be criticized or chastized on some account, write to us. We are only too willing to accept change. This paper is not the McGill Daily, we never will be and certainly do not intend to’ be. This newspaper was created and funded to carry news about the Students’ Socie ty and the various clubs and organizations around McGill to you. But we also cover news and features about the entire McGill campus and we sometimes even dare to venture off the McGill campus. We try to cover issues that may be overlooked by our larger, older and perhaps more vocal counterpart, The McGill Daily. Hopefully, you, as readers, will benefit from the wider spectrum that results frôm the mixture of these two disparate media.

by Brian Todd Welcome to the first issue of the McGill Tribune. If this issue seems threadbare and thin aside from an abundancç of advertising, there is only one reason why, that is because it is. We need you! You, as a McGill student have paid for this newspaper, as you have paid for most everything that you will recive as a free gift. However, unlike many of the things for which you have paid and have little chance to affect, you have the opportunity to influence both the look and content of this newspaper. We have had many interesting people walk into our offices over the past few weeks, people whose interests range from Cordon Bleu cooking to jazz to the defensive squad of the McGill Redmen. But we need more than interesting people to put out this paper on a weekly basis. We need people who are willing to work, to commit a few hours of their time to create something in print. We need people who are ex perienced and we need people who have absolutely no experience at all. This is your chance to have your voice heard in the vacuum that is McGill. Whether your voice is thin and reedy or thick and deep, we want to hear it. The

The McGill Tribune • Tuesday XI September 1984

Welcome Words From The Principal and Chancellor Welcome to McGill! On behalf of all the faculty and staff at McGill, I want to welcome warmly those students who are returning for another year, and to extend a special greeting to students who are coming to our university for the first time. I hope to meet many of you personally at university events during the coming weeks. Whether you will be studying at Macdonald College or at the downtown campus, you will have access to services designed to meet your academic needs — libraries, counselling, career information — and faculty and staff members ready to lend a helping hand or friendly advice. I urge you to take advantage of all these oppor tunities, in order to make the most of your years of study at McGill. In your quest for academic excellence, don’t overlook the social and intellectual interaction you can have with your professors and fellow students, after class, through clubs and activities or just over a cup of coffee in the Student Union Building. Chances are you will never again have such opportunities for testing new ideas, giving and receiving criticism and practicing leadership skills. Moreover, the satisfaction and joys of the friendships you make this way are among life’s richest blessings. Finally, I hope you enjoy your time at McGill. Take part in some of the many athletic, cultural and social activities available to you which will help make your memories of McGill amongst your most precious in the years to come. I wish you all the best of success. David L. Johnston Principal

Welcome to the new McGill session. University life merges tradition into innovation and, although much remains familiar, McGill has changed tremendously even since I was a student. So, too, has the Students’ Society. However a truly fudamental development took place just 100 years ago when, in 1884, McGill admitted women students for the first time. The first woman to be president of the Students’ Society was elected nearly 20 years ago. In this centennial year the Society has its third woman president and McGill welcomes Governor General Jeanne Sauvé as the first woman to be University Visitor. This is happening at a time when the place of women in society is a lively issue. I hope, therefore, that the McGill celebrations will encourage women students in their search for more significant roles both in the University and outside. As voting citizens, most students both male and female can also make a signifi cant contribution towards ensuring that governments as well as private supporters make good decisions about the future of higher education. It is therefore important that student voices be heard not only where you have representation on university bodies but also in political and social organizations off campus. Your time at McGill will be well spent if, in addition to your academic work, you develop interests in the society where you will spend your lives. Best wishes for a happy and successful year. Jean de Grandpré Chancellor

B e a c o n o n th e H ill by Ravi Durvasula To all fresh persons (freshmen and freshwomen) — a hearty welcome to McGill. By now, no doubt, many people have welcomed you: administrators, freshmen advisors, members of the McGill Program Board (who are using an entire week of open air pubs to make the welcome especially enjoyable) and McGill cashiers, who restrict their welcomes to those who pay their tuition on time. All will have told you of the quality of McGill life and the range of available opportunities. Few will have told you of the more tangible ex periences which are integral to your initiation at McGill. Some of you may have been charmed by statements that McGill is ‘nestled at the foot of Mount Royal and, thus, commands an excellent view of the city.’ Brace yourself — this only means that McGill is built on an incline. As you trudge up and down the hills, especially if you live in the co-ed residences at the top of University St., the last thing on your mind will be the commanding view of the city. When the freezing rains of winter grip the streets and sidewalks, you may even consider hiring a team of Nepalese sherpas to help you get around. Many of you may have been enticed by descriptions in those ‘Welcome-toMcGill’ brochures of the ‘intimate classroom setting where a close rapport is to be established between teacher and student. And so, with notions of a teacher at his desk and a semi-circle of students all asking questions, you will

walk into Leacock 132 for your intro, science courses, where you will notice a sea of several hundred bodies. Perhaps you will scratch your head and wonder whether or not you are at the right university. Perhaps you will think you made a mistake and walked into a football stadium. Do not be bewildered. Grab a seat (if one is available) and try to establish an intimate rapport with a person you can barely see, whose voice you hear through a set of loudspeakers. You may, of course, choose to be concientious and purchase your textbooks before the onset of midterms. This in itself poses a minor challenge. As you stand in line for hours at the bookstore watching your neighbour’s beard grow longer, you may wonder why no one warned you during all that welcome rhetoric. More startling than the wait is the immediate consequence of the wait: the chance to blow a small fortune on a bundle of overpriced, seldomused textbooks. If you should despair, console yourself with the fact that you are not alone. These are a few of the myriad experiences which will characterize your years at McGill. They will add colour to your lives and will, no doubt, form the greater part of your memories. But bear in mind that the transient frustrations they create are trivial when compared to the wealth you will acquire during your stay at the university. They constitute a unique form of welcome and, if you can see past them, you may profit from the opportunities McGill has to offer. Best of luck in the upcoming years.

6__ e n t e r t a in m e n t Red by Steve Baker After nearly ten years absence, the Red & White Revue is being revived as a full stage musical comedy. The Revue’s 60 year history is rich with famous alumni and unforgettable pro ductions. It was for many years con sidered the highlight of Montreal’s theatrical calendar The 1957 production, entitled “ My Fur Lady” , is undoubtably the most celebrated Revue in McGill history. It toured throughout Canada and became the longest running production in this country’s history. Among the distinguished alumni of past Red & White Revues are William

of substantial media coverage from around the country. This year, the Red & White will be presenting “ When I’m Elected” — a musical comedy, political satire. It is the story of a McGill student who, upon graduation, decides to seek fame and fortune in Ottawa. After a long and circuitous journey through the na tion’s capital, he witnesses a House of Commons debate and decides that his future awaits him as an independent Member of Parliament. The play pokes fun at our electoral system, our political leaders, their parties, the CBC, the civil service and many other pieces of the Canadian mosaic. The show will run from November 14 through until November 24. The Red & White Revue will be holding auditions from September 17

The McGill Tribune • Tuesday 11 September 1984

G rid iro n G oes R ed in 84 by Ben Adolph It’s a breezy afternoon when the young men in red uniforms convene to have the team picture taken, indicating another season for the McGill Univer sity Redmen Football team. It also heralds all the excitement and spirit of following Montreal’s successful gridiron unit. The Redmen have been training in rigorous two-a-day practices since August 27th, but a well organized off season strength program has them in first-rate shape. The workouts seem upbeat and loose in preparation for an exhibition game in Toronto. The mood is one of optimism this year. In 1983, a surprising young McGill side were finalists in the, Ontario-Quebec Inter collegiate Football Conference, and with only eight starters from last year’s squad graduating, the red troops look to make further gains. This optimistic feeling is shared by the Redmen’s head coach of thirteen years, Charlie Baillie. “ Very com petitive... hard to beat” is how Coach Baillie views this season’s prospects, describing a well balanced team, strong at all positions. The only possible question-mark is in the defensive backfield which is less experienced, but Baillie is confident his new recruits will get the job done. On offence the skipper looks to an improved game to complement what is somewhat unusual in collegiate ball — a good passing attack. The key to this side’s offensive fortunes is quarterback Jamie Crawford, in his last year and a likely all-star candidate in the con ference. Crawford’s straight, pinpoint tosses in practice were, by the defensive back’s own admission, indefensible. Under the expert tutelage of former Montreal Concorde quarterback and town favourite, Luc Tousignant, a banner campaign for Crawford and his receiving charges should be in the off ing. The opponents, especially those from Ontario, may also be fooled by the bilingual make-up of this club. It is half English, half French, I am told, and opposing defences may get crossed picking up confusing signals from the line of scrimmage. Nevertheless, this unit seems to function more cohesively than, let’s say, the House of Com mons, and a McGill championship will be proof that bilingualism can succeed

with the proper teamwork. For those who have developed a cer tain empathy toward the great autumn activity and it’s overpaid, overmade athelete’s, innocuous sports an

d’Ambosio to the coaching staff has aided Gow in building his “ wall” at the back. The only area about which Gow is somewhat uneasy is his midfield. However, he believes that if the guys work hard enough and ‘run their guts out,’ there should be no problems. The main area that the Redmen must improve is across the sidelines — in the stands. With a team as successful as the Redmen, they certainly deserve the recognition and support of McGill Students. The type of soccer that the Redmen play is very entertaining, and it’s just a matter of getting the students out to that “ first game” . I’m sure they*11 come back for more!

has been chipped at somewhat by the departure of the Redmen’s superb stopper, Doug Cave. However, it ap pears that a more than adequate replacement has entered the McGill camp. Franco Stompetti, although a Redmen rookie, has been playing for many years as a stopper locally in Montreal, most recently in the Ex cellence league. He has shown excellent form in camp, and is ready to head up the Redmen defence. Thus, Gow feels his team is once again “ very strong defensively, and nobody is going to get by Aldo Braccia (the goalkeeper).” The addition of former All-Star defenceman John

Redmen Soccer Contenders Once More by Dean Foti Redmen soccer is alive and kicking this year, as it appears that McGill is once again a serious contender for the CIAU championship. In an attempt to win their third con secutive Canadian title, the Redmen were narrowly defeated by Laurentian last year in the CIAU. According to coach Gord Gow, the team is “ pretty much the same, except for the loss of a few key players.” Dickens St-Vil, who graduated from medicine last year was the top-scoring striker for McGill for a number of years, with a superb shot and a tremen dous sense of postitioning. “The loss of Dickens hurts, and he will be dif ficult to replace,” Gow admitted, but he felt that “ we won’t be weakened significantly.” One of the reasons Gow exudes confidence about his team’s scoring ability is the return of striker Graham Butcher after a 1-year absence. Another key aspect of the Redmen team for the last few years has been its rock-solid defence. Perhaps the rock
