Judith Blasser: The Neverending Story by Stephen Hum A new chapter is about to be added to the neverending story of Judith Blasser versus the McGill Faculty of Dentistry. On Wednesday, January 16 representatives for Ms. Blasser will at tempt to persuade the steering commit tee o f the Senate to place the Blasser case on the agenda o f items to be dealt with at its next full meeting scheduled for January 23. Blasser is the erstwhile McGill Den tistry student who maintains that she was unfairly ejected from the Faculty fo u r years ag o . T h o u g h la te r reinstated, Blasser was again denied a degree because the Faculty asserted that she had failed fourth year Operative Dentistry and Removable Presthodontics, and thus was “ in competent” . Blasser counters that she is a victim o f a vendetta carried out against her by members of the Faculty in retaliation for her earlier refusal to keep silent about a cheating scandal at the School. Blasser has spared no expense in terms o f either time or energy in her fight to have her case heard and to ob
tain her dental degree. In the course of her battle with the Dentistry Faculty, Blasser has been through the pro ceedings of numerous greivance com mittees, Senate meetings, the office of the Governor General (the Visitor to McGill University) and finally the courts of the land. But, just when you might think the exit of the maze was in sight, the Superior Court o f Québec, presented with an affidavit from Samuel O. Freedman, Vice-Principal (Academic) of McGill, stating that Blasser still had “ available to her convenient and alter native remedies to be heard” at the University which she had not yet ex hausted, sent Blasser’s case out of court and back into McGill’s vast grievance bureaucracy. Richard Janda, the President o f the LSA (Law Students Association) and one of Blasser’s strongest advocates within McGill, comments that “ the Blasser case is not unconnected to a larger set of issues in the Dentistry Faculty” .

RAEU Promises Improved Life by Michael Smart L e Regroupement des associations étudiantes universitaires du Québec has vowed to play a greater role in the lives of Québec students and in society and politics in general. The decision was taken as part o f a formal declaration o f political principles hammered out at a recent meeting of the organisation’s Conseil des associations. The statement promised that RAEU would work to ameliorate the condi tions of students, prom ote the accessability of universities and help develop a system o f education that will allow students to apply their skills in society. RAEU will also concern itself with promoting democracy and “ par ticipating in the progress o f society” , the statement said. No small task, certainly. But RAEU gives no indication what path they will follow to the Land of Milk and Honey. The document affirms only that the sudent organisation will strive for “ con crete gains through a pragmatic ap proach” . Paul Muller, RAEU’s attache de presse, admitted the declaration was vague about RAEU’s future objec tives. In a telephone interview last week, Muller said “ there’s nothing really new in the statement. But it’s
always a good idea to set out your political philosophy.” “ It’s a recognition of the fact that what we do has influence on people beyond the university milieu. We must take into account the consequences of our actions on others.” For example, in working toward a solution to youth unemployment, RAEU would consider the implications for older, already employed segments of the population, he said. But a spokesman for a rival student organisation complained that RAEU was not placing students first. M onon Blanchard, officiaire aux programmes of the Association nationale des étu d ia n te s du Québec (ANEQ) noted that ANEQ had no official position on the statement but said she felt it was too general. “ They don’t mention stu dent rights anywhere,” she said. “ There could well be times when RAEU takes positions against student interests.” ANEQ and RAEU have been engag ed in a bitter struggle for the leadership of the Québec student movement since 1979 when the groups split on ideological issues. Since then, ANEQ has been attacked by RAEU supporters continued on page 3
by Gopal Sreenivasan Hold your tongue! The world’s best talkers are coming to town. From the 16th to the 23rd o f February, McGill will be hosting the 1985 W orld Univer sity D e b a tin g C h a m p io n s h ip s . Debaters from all over the Englishspeaking world — including such far off places as Australia and New Z ealand — will vie for w orld supremacy in the same rooms in which we endure classes. In fact of the fifty teams par ticipating in the championships, fifteen will be coming from overseas. Univer sities such as Oxford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sydney and Wellington will be represented at McGill. The re mainder of the teams will come from Canada and the United States. Because entry is limited — North American schools may send only one team; overseas ones may send two — the teams we will see at McGill will un doubtedly be la crème de la crème of the international debating circuit. In deed, a number of former world cham
pions are expected to be among this year’s competitors. This is the first time that McGill has hosted this prestigious event and organizers have been working hard to make it the best W orld’s ever. The tournam ent boasts an impressive set of O fficial P atrons: H er Excellency Jeanne Sauvé, the Governor General, Chancellor de Grandpré and Principal Johnston. According to Debating Union Presi dent Ben-Zvi Cohen, McGill’s cham pionships will be notable for a number o f different reasons. Firstly, Cohen says, the judging will be of a very high calibre. The Debating Union is running a series of exhibition debates which are to serve as training sessions for judges. These debates will be held at noon on Thursdays, starting January 17th, in Union 310. In this way, it will be en sured that all judges will have some ex perience with parliamentary debating. People interested in judging are asked to call the Debating Union at 392-8909 continued on page 8

Neverending Story continued from page 1 microscope scrutiny o f one o f McGill’s Cyclical Reviews o f its structure, cur riculum, and methods. The Review completed in the fall of 1984, discussed a series o f problems that are widely acknowledged to have far-reaching ramifications for the future of the Faculty which may effect its continued viability as an educational institution. Janda and other sources in Students’ Society have discussed findings by the Cyclical Review that research at- the school is extremely weak, characterized by labs and equipment that are a shambles.
Student-faculty relations in McGill d e n tis try is m a rk e d by a “ secretiveness” and “ paranoia” which is exacerbated by an unclear and highly subjective evaluation system which makes the Blasser case not an atypical one, Janda charged. As proof, Janda cited a letter to the Daily in the fall of 1984 in support of the faculty signed by over a hundred dentistry students. Janda charged that the signatures were obtained when the President o f the Dentistry Student Society threatened to go to Dean Bentley of Dentistry with the names of those who refused to sign. “ It was about as democratic as elections in A lbania.” said Janda. Contacted by the Tribune, Cameron C lo k ie d en ied J a n d a ’s ch arges. “ There’s been a lot printed about the Faculty which just isn’t so,” he said. Clokie seemed willing to discuss parts o f the cyclical report, particularly the ones citing a need for more research funds, but was reluctant to comment on either the Blasser case specifically or the “ atmosphere of paranoia” . Said Janda, “ Some people want to pretend that the Faculty’s problems are just financial but they go far beyond th at.” And while Blasser’s case is just one issue it was also the most im mediate. Her crusade, said Janda, “ has become an obsession. It’s ruining her life.” Blasser will go into tom orrow’s com mittee meeting armed with a resolution o f support passed by the McGill Students’ Society.

Willers’ Funds From IEA, Magazine by Michael Smart Money used to start a chain of neo conservative campus newspapers at Canadian universities this fall did come from the Institute of Educational A f fairs (IEA), a McGill student leader confirmed. The source, who is close to McGill Magazine staff but asked not to be named, said thet Francis Willers, the McGill student who provided seed money to the seven campus journals, received some of the funds from the IEA, a New-York based conservative foundation. The grant o f about $3,000 was intended solely for Libertas, a Queen’s University newspaper, the source said, but Willers diverted some
of the money to the other papers. The source said Willers approached her looking for writers for the chain of p a p e rs an d b o a ste d a b o u t his achievements. She also charged that Willers il legitimately took about $2500 from a McGill Magazine bank account to finance the network. Willers was publisher of the Magazine last year and a signing officer for the account. “ When (Magazine editor) Mark Proudm an went to the bank last September, they told him the account was closed and they couldn’t discuss it. Willers was the signing officer and we assume he’s the one who took the m oney,” the source said.
New Registrants Caught by Joel Coppieters W h e n th e J a n u a r y e n tr a n ts registered in the Leacock Building on Tuesday, January 8th, many of them were shocked to discover that the entire $380 o f their tuition had to be payed in full before they were allowed to register. As the students lined up outside room 232 to register, panic spread down the line as the news went from mouth to mouth that the cashier ex pected everyone to produce a cheque for $380, contrary to the announce ment made. In fact, January entrants receive only two peices of inform ation about fees. The first is the calendar, which clearly states on page 10: “ The winter term fees are due on or before January 15.” Furtherm ore the calendar goes on to say: “ Interest is charged on all overdue balances...” Thus, the calendar says that the punishment for late fees is not being barred from registering, but simply having to pay interest on the amount still due after that date. The second piece of inform ation given about payment of fees comes with the letter of acceptance package received from the Admissions Office. It contains a long green sheet of paper called Estimated Expenses. At the top o f the reverse side, students were told the following: “ Fees for the second term (and also
lees for January registrants) are due before January 15, 1985.” Many students I have spoken to said that this wasn’t the case when they registered in previous years. Why the change? The University does reserve the right to change its mind by adding in a box on that green sheet: N .B . THE U N IV E R S IT Y RESERVES TH E RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE VARIOUS FEE SCHEDULES W ITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. So, it’s the University’s prerogative to change its mind — that’s fine - but there is an am ount of common sense that they should follow. Many students came to registration without expecting to have to pay a cent, because after all, th at’s what the announcements said. Hence, some students were not allowed to register because they hadn’t guessed that the University was going to change its mind. One student explained to the cashier that her parents in the States had sent her the cheque for her tuition via a courrier the day before. That wasn’t good enough; she was not allowed to register. A nother student came with only enough funds to make a cheque for $300. He was turned away. “ But what do I do...w hen do I register?” he protested. ” 1 don’t know ...that’s not my pro blem !” was the cashier’s response. “ Maybe if you’re lucky the registrar will let you register late. Good luck!”
Improve Your Life! continued from page 1 for being too confrontational, while ANEQ charges that RAEU has been co-opted by the provincial govern ment. When asked if the statement of prin ciples signalled a change to more mili tant tactics, such as demonstrations, for RAEU, Muller said “ I think we’re attaining an equilibrium o f different types of actions. W e’re not afraid to use those means (militant tactics) and we never have been.” Blanchard disagreed, saying “ con ciliation hasn’t done anything for RAEU in the past. They’re naive if they think it will do any good when fee increases com e.” An embattled Muller defended his
organisation’s record, citing a RAEU dem onstration five years ago that drew 5 000 students. “ We must gain the in tellectual support o f students,” he said. “ Then when the time comes for a general strike (over fee increases) everyone will go out together. It’s all a question of tactics and tim ing.” Pretty strong words all round. But does any o f it matter? Probably not. McGill is not a member o f either a s s o c ia tio n , a lth o u g h it sends observers to both. M artine Gagnon, our own VP External, prefers the RAEU approach. She said “ ANEQ is too confrontational, and McGill is pretty conservative.” Besides, we’re all rich and don’t have to worry about fee increases that much anyway.
Proudm an confirmed that some money had disappeared, but refused to speculate about who was responsible. “ I’m not going to appear in print say ing th at anyone embezzled th at m oney,” Proudm an said. “ Last year’s surplus went to the first issue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some o f it went in other directions.” When asked about the allegations, Wiilers read from a prepared statement which said, in part: “ This year’s staff is not at all familiar with the finances of the paper last year. My financial support was most generous, including the full payment o f an entire issue out of my pocket. No improprieties exist.” Willers added that “ as publisher I
can do what I dam n well please.” When asked if he had in fact ceased be ing publisher when the money was withdrawn, Willers said he could not remember. The statement neither confirmed nor denied that money from the IEA had been diverted to Willers’ chain of papers. In an interview last November, Willers told the Tribune that the IEA had not funded any o f his papers but Libertas. At the time he said funding had come from donations by “ wealthy C a n a d ia n s of c o n s e r v a tiv e orientation.” Reached by telephone last week, Jonathan Cohen, the IEA official continued on page 8

Graduation, Or On Death and Dying
« eSimma i m n u Levine T pvin p by Graduation. Is it an awesome con cept, or merely a dreaded reality? As I sit in class, pondering my even tual fate (along with who will probably win the Super Bowl, whether any o f my cheques have bounced, and the plot of Days o f our Lives), I begin to feel a tad melancholy. I could philosophise and draw analogies between death and graduation, but I won’t. G raduation is supposed to be a time of new beginn ings on entering the real “ world” . But I’m too young to enter the real ‘world” , my irrational side keeps tell ing me. University is a place to hide from the real world. Where else can you get trashed at least five nights a week (sometime^ even during mid-terms)
navingtotoworry worryabout the wifnout naving repercussions. So, you don’t make it to Stats at 9 a.m ., if the prof going to fire you? Hell no. Unless you get a boss who happens to be your father, chances are that your career will not be progressing as you would have liked it to. So what are the choices? Well, one could always opt for professional stu dent status, as have many “ illustrious” individuals at this bastion o f intellec tual wealth. But that does encompass several drawbacks. Firstly, who wants to go through life knowing it took you 5 years to do your B.A. in A rt History? Secondly, when one is living the pro fessional student way, parents are not too keen on the idea o f supporting an able-bodied adult who remains too “ emotionally im m ature” to enter the
real world. Besides socializing socializingwith 18 year olds when you feel old enough to be their parent is a bit awkward and at times hard to swallow. I’m sick and tired of being asked “ Are YOU graduating?” As much as I hate to admit it, it appears that life must go on; to unemployment I will go. I will leave behind many friends, who are on the 4 and 5 year plan (am I jealous). I won’t have an excuse any more not to buy my family Christmas presents (Mom, I just had to buy this Eco textbook that cost me an entire months rent, so can Christmas wait another m onth or two?)
I guess I’m just o f the breed that sees university as a means to an end, without which, who would ever know about supply and demand (a houseful
people,and and only 2 Budwisers in the o f people, fridge), collective bargaining (okay, you bring the scotch and I’ll supply the cards) and o f course chemistry (but did you really want to know about all the chemicals that you’ve been indulging in?). So, Class of 1985, there are only three months (give or take, as we final ly have a reading week) to indulge and partake in enough drinking and debauchery to give your offspring enough stories to write the eventually famous, What M y M other (Father) D id In University, which may make the New York Times bestseller list in the year 2017. C heers...A nd in the words of the in famous Franklin Young (Class o f ?) DRINK MORE FASTER (For tom or row we will probably be in Toronto).
Real lawyers live off the complexity of a legal system that becomes steadily more complicated. Much too com plicated for the viewer who would rather see that lawyer defending un justly accused unfortunates. Doctors, who are praised for their altruism and professionalism, demand, for the most part, great renumeration for the training that TV dramas have glorified. No TV doctor ever stacked patients in his waiting room by scheduling them at ten minute inter vals. One can easily see that Medicine and Law students both benefit from their
good, if slightly idealized representa tion in the media. As undergraduates, they quietly endorse this unearned blessing. They dare not fiddle with it. Engineers, it is agreed, are largely ig nored by the media. How then have th e y a c q u ire d th e ir p a r tic u la r stereotype. To answer this, we can start by ex amining Engineering week, a celebra tion of that immature, sexist, beerguzzling stereotype we call the Engineer. As mild-mannered Medicine and Law students drift back into another semester, the engineers are at it again.
Taking their much maligned image firmly in both hands, they drag it through two Pub Nites, down the ski slopes and through a dozen silly events like a Car Rally, Beer Case Hurdling, Wheel Barrow Races, an Indoor Golf Tournament and a Musical Beer com petition. They play Falgball at noon in the middle of Sherbrooke Street and squirt water at each other with water pistols screaming “ License to kill!” . Why do the engineers not only put up with this image but go so far as to promote it? Because it’s fun, and we like it that way.
Johnny Labatt — Engineer Combats Image by Alain Vandenbussche “ Well my first son, David, he’s a lawyer. And my second son, Tom, he’s a doctor.” “ And your third son, m adam ?” T h e w o m a n c a s ts h e r eyes downwards and with a sigh of despair says sadly, “ We don’t mention Johnny much since...since...” . Her voice fades into muffled sobs. “ Johnny’s in Engineering.” And Johnny is not alone. McGill has 1900 engineering students, all of them full-time, that is sixteen hours a day, and all of them misunderstood . Why is this? Every year, Engineers have the se cond biggest blood drive on Campus and yet they are pictured as the lackeys of the military, designing in Fuel Air Explosives and o th er diabloical w eapons. They have w elcom ed, wholeheartedly, a bigger increase in the percentage o f women enrolled than any other faculty and yet are accused of be ing sexist. They have one of the g re atest p ercen tag es o f foreign students and yet have even been accus ed of racism. Not even the faculty’s Flagball and Broomball and Soccer leagues, with a large number of male and female par ticipants can help them. For this they are accused of being thick-headed brutes. The problem, as any Public Rela tions agent could tell you is bad media coverage. News shows, documentaries and dram as alike have depicted engineers as the progenitors of ThreeMile Island, the disrupted Seaway, oil spills and, most recently, the disaster at Bhopal. W hat the faculty needs is a prime time TV series which features a professional engineer in the lead role. The show could be titled “ Johnny Labatt — Engineer” . It could have episodes in which Johnny Labatt helps Health and Welfare C anada recover from a computer failure so that senior citizens receive their pension cheques before Christmas. Or he could detect and correct a structural flaw in the leaning tower of Pisa which would have caused it to shift back into an upright position. Or perhaps discover a way to make Sanka brand coffee 100% caffeine-free. This, of course, is not the case. Television viewers prefer lawyers and doctors.

3 O 'clock Train A rriv e s by Paul Shenher The Union Ballroom was once again the site of a party on Friday night. In many ways it was the same as it usually is — warm beer and a sticky floor in a smoke filled room with steamy win dows. Last Friday, however, featured t h r e e b a n d s : 39 S te p s , T h e Chromosomes and Three O’clock Train. 39 Steps opened the show with a fair ly strong set of music. 39 Steps has created a sound that is influenced by some of today’s more popular artists such as The Police and Billy Idol. While there is nothing terribly radical about the band, they have managed to create a good synthesis of today’s music without sounding too much like a cover band. 39 Steps played their music well. The crowd seemed to enjoy the band. There were a few people dancing and those not holding a beer could be seen appluading the band’s efforts. W hat really got the people out on the dance floor was the familiar sounds of recorded music. Soon the floor was filled with people dancing to the sounds of the latest emanations from L o n d o n an d New Y o rk . T his, however, came to an abrupt end when The Chromosomes, the next band up,
played their warm up tape. It was goodbye New York and hello Stuttgart circa 1926. The baffled audience was forced to listen to what sounded like German opera music for about 15 minutes. When The Chromosomes finally took the stage and their tape of opera ended, most people seemed relieved. However, their relief was not to last long. The Chromosomes play loud and fast music. Talent is of secondary im portance for this band. After about 20 minutes, the guitar player finally had his instrument in tune and The Chromosomes managed to attem pt a few covers. One was a bad m utation of Eddie Cochran’s “ Summertime Blues” and the other was the Iggy Pop classic “ I W anna Be Your Dog.” If The Chromosomes do have one outstan ding talent, it is the ability to play music while dodging flying beer cups.
A u d ie n c e r e a c t i o n to T h e Chromosomes was generally hostile. While some voiced their opinion o f the band by pleading with them to leave the stage, most responded in true McGill fashion and simply went to G ert’s. By the time Three O ’Clock Train ar rived on the stage the crowd was fairly small. Those who remained were treated to a very good show. Three O’Clock Train played a good set of energetic country rock. However, the band has little in common with such dull groups as A labam a. Three O’Clock Train is more interested in playing a brand o f country rock that combines the melodies o f country and western music with the energy o f punk.

Chromosomes March 39 Steps
The result is a very fresh sound that is enhanced by tight playing on the part o f the band. The best usually play last and Three O’Clock Train was no ex ception to the rule. The only real problem with the even ing was with the audience. It seems that most people would rather dance to Boy George or Frankie than come out and dance to local talent. There were two good bands at the Ballroom on Friday. Still the Ballroom was not completely full o f people. One has to wonder whether the Engineering Pub Night, held on Satur day, had any lack o f attendance. It may be a commentary on the tastes of McGill students.

by Deep Concert by Dunes Berry Terry “ Aislin” Mosher is the most recognized and celebrated political car toonist in Canada. Aislin’s cartoons o f Trudeau, Lévesque, Turner, Mulroney and Reagan have caused so much controversy both in C anada and south o f the border that many o f his best works have been censored. Consequently, much of Aislin’s satirical and often amazingly accurate views on life have never been seen. One o f my personal favourites is one o f Student Society President Grace Permaul diligently studying a certain past President’s confidential memos en titled Blind Ambition. The caption has Permaul remarking, “ If a Hick from Ottawa can do it, so can I!” To see this and hundreds o f other priceless Aislin classics, catch his lecture and slide show on Wednesday January 23rd.
i get no respect and neither will any o f the unsuspecting patrons who show up on Thursday night, January 24th. T hat’s right, the Yuk Yuk’s Touring Comedy Show will be rolling into Montreal for another hilarious evening o f jokes, insults, put-downs, and comic routines as part o f the W inter Carnival celebrations. This crazy group o f comedians from the laughing stock of C anada (sorry about that Toronto) consistently provide top o f the line comedy which leaves their audiences rolling in the aisles. Pat Bullard, Simon Rakoff, Jeremy H otz and A1 & George are the amazing team that have been assembled for an evening o f entertainment which Program Board Vice-Chairman Pam Muir guarantees will be more exciting than “ gathering around the family radio back home in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.” Sounds like a lot of laughs Pam , but I'M be there anyway. by Rappin’ Rodney
O .K ., so 1 was wrong about Rough Trade coming to invade our tu rf... big deal! Anyway, we will have a m ajor concert some time this year, 1 guarantee it. In the meantime, W inter Carnival is providing us with the “ ultimate” party band. Teenage Head will be making a rare M ontreal appearance on Friday January 25th at 8:00 p.m . in the Union Ballroom. This Toronto based funky punk rock band has been bopping around Canada for a few years now gaining a solid reputation for crazy stage antics, zany lyrics and an endless am ount of high energy rock’n’roll. If you saw their concert “ rider” you’d know where they get their enthusiasm from, know what I mean! Program Board Chairm an, Drew Young, also informs me that new C ana dian rockers Body Electric will be performing as the opening act. Young ex plains that “ Body Electric is composed o f ex-members of Trooper and Straight Lines. Not only do they do their own material but also re-live classics like Pretty Lady.” This event definitely sounds like a hell of a lot o f fun. An Endless P arty to be sure!
by Prince Andrew This year’s W inter Carnival marks the revival o f the prestigious King and Queen competition. For the first time in decades, McGill students will have the opportunity to vie for for amazing prizes, a new campus reputation and a spot in McGill’s history books! According to Carnival C oordinator Lindsay Glassco, the contest is intended to stir up the old spirit that McGill seems to be lacking recently. Glassco emphasizes that “ anyone can enter either category, anything goes with the only prerequisite being that entries be as couples only.” W inter Carnival seems to be encouraging cross-dressing — interesting twist! So all you guys and gals looking for a great time with the added spice o f some exciting Royal Couple possibilities, drop by the W inter Carnival booth in the Union lobby or the Program Board Office (Room B07, Union Building). By the way, the grand prize is apparently a ski weekend for tw o... not bad eh! Eat your heart out Chuck and Di.

WE
by Patricia Rachofsky Franz Jacob Colby is a frightening man. He is the main character, played by David Conner, in Love is Strange: A Courtroom Romance, which runs at the Centaur Theatre until January 27. This play deals with the court trial of Jacob, a man whose fanatic love for a pop singer overwhelms him such that he follows her to her concerts, her of fice, her home, and her father’s funeral. Finally, when the problem hinders her, she presses charges. In the play, what we see is the trial of a man who believes he is being prosecuted for falling in love wint a woman who sends him signals through her songs. On another level, however, what we see in
this man is a part of ourselves — that part of ourselves which dreams and fantasizes about how wonderful our lives could be. Such fantasies are struc tured by our society and enviroment. Jacob knew nothing but the intense lonliness he felt on his farm and the equally intense joy he felt when he heard the singer’s voice on the radio. His fantasies are enacted in dream-like interludes in the courtroom scene, and we are drawn into his perspective as we watch the fantasies develop to a nightmarish climax in the face o f the establishment which “ has a mind like a cookie cutter.” The sense o f Jacob’s lonely dreamings is heightened by music and other sound effects, ex cellent lighting, slide images on the set, and poetic language. Each interlude is like a passage into the most secret, , painful part of the man, and it is : frightening to see how deluded one can V'^become. ,'J The Centaur, which is in its sixteenth season, is located at 453 St. FrançoisXavier St. in Old Montréal. Tickets are going fast for this show, so you should reserve ahead o f time. The phone number is 288-1229. This performance is everything a play should be; I am amazed that so many dramatic effects could be mixed into a two and a half hour experience so successfully.
Runaway: An Underdog Film by Steve Fraser I will almost always root for the underdog. Even when I know I’m go ing for a long shot and heading for disappointment. The movie Runaway is such an underdog for many reasons. Runaway has been screening against stiff competition for a share of the Christmas movie market. I was at the premieres of what could now be called the season’s biggies: Beverly Hills Cop, City Heat, and 2010. I knew after see ing each one of them that they would draw crowds — not just because of their publicity campaigns, though they were expensive and elaborate, nor their overall quality. Like most reviewers I feel they were only fair with the possi ble exception of 2010. I knew it because after seeing hundreds of movies every year you come to develop an instinct about what the general au dience will like. Only a few movies make it big during the huge summer and Xmas release seasons, often to the detriment of many others. It’s a ques tion of being the right movie, at the right place, at the right time. Runaway got lost in the rush. The second thing going against Runaway is its star, Tom Selleck. Peo ple generally won’t pay money to see somebody on the silver screen if they can see him or her on television every week. Critics don’t like it either; after all, we/they’ve been taught that there is a huge difference between the big screen and the small one. This makes the transition particularly hard for television stars if they cannot get some desired critical support. If you’re coun ting, that makes three strikes. That is
really too bad because I feel that many o f the pitches against Runaway are foul balls because this movie has what it takes to generate a hit. Runaway is a science fiction/fact flick set in the near future (five to ten years). Selleck is cast as police officer Jack Ramsay whose job is to discon nect possibly harmful, malfunctioning (or runaway) high technology equip ment. In one o f his cases he stumbles upon something more than a runaway but rather a conspiracy and murder. Story wise, Runaway isn’t exactly novel. But it would be unfair to leave it at that. W riter/director Michael Crichton does a good job to show us what life may be like at a later date. I can’t help but feel that the message of this film is parallel to the one the spirit o f Christmas yet to come delivers to Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. For this reason I felt that it was oddly appropriate that Runaway was released during the holiday season. Not only is it insightful, it is intelligently photographed and does not fall o ff the deep end with special effects. Many science fiction movies tend to do this to the detriment of character develop ment. But one of the things I especially liked in Runaway was the acting and the character development. Selleck does more than a respectable job and should be commended, but his co-stars are the ones who steal the show; name ly Cynthia Rhodes and Gene Simmons. You may remember Rhodes from the dance movies Stayin’ Alive and Flashdance. I was surprised to read that she has had no previous acting training — ever. I’m glad I found that
out beforehand because I would have said that she was an excellently trained actress. She literally took my breath away, and it wasn’t due to her pretty face either but to what she can express with it. Her face talks without always having to voice words and that is so un common nowadays in cinema. As for Simmons, he is better known as the flamboyant bassist/vocalist for the rock group KISS rather than as an ac tor. His sharp performance surprised me and many other critics. In his case, it is obvious that he has been taking ac ting lessons because his acting has
drastically improved since his first stint in the TV movie KISS Meets The Phan tom (1978). His characterization of Dr. Charles Luther is the best heavy I’ve seen in a while. Runaway has all this and a little more. It has a good degree o f suspence and small surprises. Crichton describes Runaway as like riding a roller coaster and I couldn’t agree with him more. I always feel good when the underdog wins, but I feel even better when I see that the underdog deserves to win. Given a chance, Runaway could find the larger audience it should get.
At Gert’s the drinking continues, oblivious to possible StudSoc re-takeover of suds.

Worlds To Be Held Here
continued from page 1 or to drop by at one of the Thursday sessions. Another noteworthy feature o f this tournament is organization. The McGill club has a wealth of organiza tional expertise acquired from hosting the traditional Winter Carnival Tour nament in previous years. Also, two computers will be employed in the tabulation of results. Lastly Cohen maintains, the quality of the services which are being offered to the debaters is very high. Hotel rooms are being provided for all of the eight nights which they will be in Mon tréal. This has never been done before. Lunch and breakfast are also being provided every day, free o f charge. On top of all this, a large number o f din ners, parties and receptions — in-
eluding one at Rideau Hall in Ottawa — are being given for the debaters. As you might imagine, hosting such an affair is no small feat; nor is it a cheap one. Organizers estimate the cost of holding the world debating cham pionships at $25 000. Obviously, fun draising has been one of the major tasks involved in the preparations. About $20 000 in cash and services has been raised to date. Much of the money has been raised from a few ma jor sponsors: the Bronfman Family Foundation, the Axe-Houghton Foun dation, Air Canada, Student’s Society and McGill University which has donated all the rooms. On the other hand, there are also considerable benefits to be had. The McGill community will have the op portunity of hearing the world’s best
Willers’ Funds continued from page 3 responsible for such funding, refused to comment publicly on the charges and referred questions to IEA presi dent P h ilip M arcus, who was unavailable. Proudman confirmed that the IEA was interested in supporting Libertas, “ I know they thought Libertas was a good idea, but I don’t know if that was in a financial sense,” he said. He did know why Willers would have acted as
a go-between for the IEA and Libertas. Proudman said he did think it was unethical for an American political group to provide funding to members o f the Canadian media. “ People think that where there’s money there’s dirt. We’ll take money from anybody. The two of us (Magazine and the IEA) got together and helped one another. That’s the essence o f democracy and free association.”

by Mario Emond The phones rang and rang. Every night, last term, McGill Nightliners were up answering the 500 plus calls that came in. Till three in the morning they listened, sometimes with only short breaks in their four and six hour shifts, to students who “ just wanted someone to talk to.” The number of students calling Nightline increased steadily from early on in the semester. “ What we’ve notic ed” , says the head of Nightline, ” is that students tend to call when exams are creeping up; in November and March last year, the phones were almost ringing off the hook, and the weekend of December 7 was the busiest of all” .
Students may. not have obtained solutions to their trigonometry or ac counting problems but they did receive sympathy. “ The major concerns o f the students” , according to the same source, “ were not only related to studies, but also to parental expecta tions, lonliness, interpersonal relations and emotional problems. A number of calls were also received from students seeking information regarding various student services at the University.” With the new term, enveloped in sub-zero weather, Nightline volunteers and McGill students are already warm ing up the phones. Students are welcome to call any time, between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. weekdays and 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. on weekends at 392-8234.

McGill Tours Peru
by James Green Member, McGill Swim Team So, what did you do over the Christmas holidays? Whatever it was, at best, it could only equal our Swim Team’s activities! In September 1984 the McGill Swim Team received a new coach — Mike Sharadin. His job for the previous two years had been Head Coach of the Peruvian National Swim Team — culminating with the Olympics. Mr. Sharadin’s goal for the McGill Swim Team? “ To become the best in the world” — those of you giggling in the peanut gallery may not be in a few years. Admittedly, what Mr. Sharadin was given to work with was not the fastest swimmers; he’s recruiting them for next year. However, what was lack ing in speed was more than made up for in enthusiasm. Mr. Sharadin does not think small. So where did the team go for training camp? We certainly did not stay in Canada. Florida? No way — everyone goes there. An exclusive Sports Club on the outskirts o f Lima (capital of Peru)? — sounds all right to me! The club was called Club Reggattas — even the President of Peru is a member. In Peru it is against the law to own a private beach — with one excep tion: Club Reggattas. That should give you a vague idea o f the Club’s status in Peru. But the real treat was seeing what life was like in South America. Up un til this trip the furthest south I had been was New York! Just wandering the streets o f Lima was a thrill, although the incredible poverty was disconcerting. As with most South American countries there are two classes: the very rich and the very poor. When I asked one o f the people I met how much she paid her maid, the answer was $18 a month, and everyone
who is anyone has a maid or three. Because o f the low wages and the very strong American dollar everything was very, very cheap. A dinner for two which would cost bewteen $75 and $100 in Montréal was available for about $20 and a regular meal would cost about a dollar! Most o f us ate very well. The locally made clothes were just as cheap: a handmade sweater went for about $5 if you bargained well or $10 if you were a spineless Gringo! There are no set prices in Peru; everything from washing-up liquid to taxi rides is negotiable! However my most exciting ex perience was visiting Cuzco and Macchu Picchu. Cuzco is a small town in the Andes located at an altitude o f 3 350 meters. This town was the capital o f the Inca civilization (1100-1500 A.D.) which was wiped out by the Spaniards. While I was there I became increasingly aggravated with the Spaniards who destroyed the buildings, building their own on top o f the Inca foundations, and looted all the valuables. However Macchu Picchu (also situated in the Andes) was never found by the Spaniards and was only re-discovered in 1910. Consequently there is an amazing lack of deteriora tion. Macchu Picchu is located amidst soring cliffs and tropical forest — to describe them using words is impossi ble. Spectacular is just one o f the many that come to mind. Feeling jealous? You should be, although if you were ever a swimmer and are prepared to put in the hours of training to perform on the Varsity Swim Team maybe you could go next year, if the Swim Team isn’t off to another more exotic location that is. The Swim Team isn’t hard to find, just open your eyes and watch those tanned athletic bodies cruising around cam pus.
Redmen Devour Gaitors by Richard Heft For McGill’s first at-home national ly televised game Friday night, Redmen Coach Ken Schildroth and Bishop’s Coach Ed Pomykala were attired dashingly. That was however, about all the coaches had in common. Bishop’s chief Pomykala who coached McGill last season was a man who seemed frenetically posessed during the Redmen’s 69-46 drubbing of the Gaitors. McGill Coach Schildroth on the other hand was a model of reserve and calm at the helm o f the powerful Redmen bench. The Redmen began the game somewhat sluggishly and were ahead by only 5 points at the halfway point in the game. However, in the second half McGill simply out-hussled Bishop’s and throttled ahead to a final 23 point edge. As McGill’s leading scorer Bernie Rosanelli said after the game “ the whole difference was the turnovers we forced them to m a k e .’ ’C oach Schildroth who patterns his coaching style after his mentor, coach Ken Shields of the University o f Victoria, added “ the difference was the fact that McGill played as a unit — there are no individuals on this team, we haven’t
got any hotshots, and I play everybody during a game.” There was one injury during the game however, which occurred at half time. The McGill cheerleading squad will sorely miss spirited Grace Anne Baker who will be out of the line-up for perhaps a month with a sprained ankle

Stingers Skate Past Redmen by E.Z. Pearl and François Lejeune The McGill Redmen hockey team opened the second semester on a sour note, losing 6-3 to a rapidly improving Concordia Stinger team at McConnell Winter Stadium last Friday night. For the 18th time in 21 contests this year, McGill surrendered the opening goal. The Stingers outplayed the Redmen in the first two periods, and went to the dressing room before the third with a 4-0 lead. McGill roared out of the blocks in the third period, as goals by Daniel Lamirande, Doug Har rison and Mark Reade in the first nine minutes of the final stanza had the Reds trailing by 4-3. A Concordia power play goal at 9:46 returned the Stinger’s cushion to two
goals, but more importantly it gave the visitors the momentum, which they never surrendered. After a series of suspect calls by the referee, Concordia iced the game at 17:21 with another power play goal. McGill and Concor dia entered the contest with the two worst power plays in the league, yet the Stingers notched four PP goals, while the Redmen countered with two of their own. McGill outshot Concordia 35-32, in cluding a 27-11 advantage over the last two periods, but had a tough time beating Stinger netminder Stéphane Héon. Héon, a former All-Canadian was making his first start of the season after having missed the first semester due to academic considerations. The Redmen record now stands at 6
wins and 3 losses. McGill will try to snap a three game losing streak tonight when they travel to Trois Rivières to play the Patriotes. McGill has defeated Trois Rivières twice already this
season. Next home game for the Redmen is this Friday night at 7:30 when they again play les Patriotes at McConnell Winter Stadium.
From Under The Bleachers by Frank Young 1984 has ended, and I, for one, am glad that it has. The past year has not been a particularly memorable one for sports fans, despite Canada’s victories in international hockey and the spec tacle o f the Olympics. What follows is a highly personal look back at the year in sports. In the Super Bowl last January, the Los Angeles Raiders humiliated the Washington Redskins by a score of 38-9. It was a dull game for all but the most compulsive Raiders fans. The World Series was also one-sided as the Detroit Tigers outclassed the San Diego Padres 4 games to one. The Padres proved themselves to be a very average team agaisnt the awesome Tigers, and T.V. sets across North America were very often not tuned in to the rout. The coverage o f the Wotrld Series was magnificent, but the games were not. As is so often the case these days, television’s coverage of sports has become more interesting than the game itself. We are constantly shown reverse-angle replays and super slow motion shots of unremarkable field goals. Such was not the case o f CTV’s coverage o f the Canada Cup last fall. The rank amateurs at that network, with the exception of Ron Reusch, came fairly close to making the series unwatchable. In the end the excellence o f the hockey made the Cup a highlight in a dismal hockey year. The other highlights were the emergence o f the Edmonton Oilers as the hockey power and the re-birth of the Montréal Cana diens under the guidance of Serge Savard and Jacques Lemaire. In basketball, the Boston Celtics won the NBA title after an eight and a half month season that caused marginal fans to tune in to the more ex citing brand o f basketball being played in the Colleges. Georgetown, led by Patrick Ewing, played a vicious type of basketball in winning the NCAA title. In Canada, the University o f Victoria won the CIAU championship again. Here at McGill, it was an eventful year. The Redmen Basketball team had one coach quit in the pre-season. New coach Eddie Pomykala led the team to an 11-1 season and the QUAA crown. After the season, Pomykala resigned in order to become the head coach o f the
Bishops’ Gaiters. The football team survived a slew o f resignations by assitant coaches to have a good season before being routed by Queen’s in the playoffs. Speaking o f Queen’s... busloads o f Gaels fans, their faces painted an ugly shade of purple did many ugly things to our hallowed cam pus. People were outraged, scathing editorials were written, students were called “ animals” by their elders and the Montréal police finally got something to do. All of which added up to a really fun day for the students, even if the media thought that the future was a write-off if it was in our hands. 1984 was also the year of the Olym pics. In Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Gaétan Boucher won two gold medals in speed skating. Boucher can now be seen sell ing butter on television. American Bill Johnson, the most annoying sports figure since trans-sexual tennis player Renée Richards, won the downhill run. When asked what the win meant to him, Johnson replied “ Millions, we’re talking millions” . Before the summer Olympics, Carl Lewis was asked if he would play professional football. Lewis said that he could not afford the pay cut. While the Olympics did provide some exciting moments, the blatant professionalism of many o f the star athletes signalled the end of the Olym pic ideal of high-level amateur sport. It is fitting that the end of the dream came before, during and after the Sum mer Games in Los Angeles. The first Olympics run by a private corporation with the intention of making a huge profit, the games did just that. Sports venues at the Olympics were named after such a th le tic h eroes as “ McDonalds’’, and “ 7-11” , and, in an effort to save money, most Olympic workers were unpaid despite their long hours and the $250 million (American) profit. With the Soviet bloc o f countries boycotting, the Olympics became a rout for American athletes. The result was a televised spectacle of flag-waving that became truly revolting after a while. Oh well, at least Canadians had their own band o f heroes to be proud of. So, 1984 will be remembered as the year that the Olympics lost their
Stingers slam last nail in Redmen’s coffin on Friday idealistic lustre, the year Team Canada once again beat the Soviets, and as the year that Martina Mavritalova lost on ly a couple of matches. In honour of those who made the year in sports memorable, I have issued a number of citations:
Ugliest athlete of the year: Pat Ewing o f Georgetown narrowly defeats golfer Craig “ The Walrus” Stadtler. Worse new sports: Synchronized swimming, Rhythm Gymnastics and windsurfing were all included
