G re e n p ro p o s e s several m easures to increase in ­ terest in th e a c tu a l elections: (1 ) coerce u n d e rg ra d u a te societies to h o ld th e ir elections fo r co u n ­ cil representatives on the same d a y , and cancel classes in o rd e r to focus a tte n tio n on the elec­ tio n s, (2) have m o re in fo rm a l “ m eet the ca nd idates” g a th e r­ ings, and (3 ) have open debates an d fo ru m s such as the one held this year b y the F a c u lty o f E n g in eerin g .

O n the subject o f the D a i l y , G ree n said th a t the question o f e q u a liza tio n o f fees sh o uld n o t have been on the b a llo t fo r tw o reasons. F irs tly , it was b ad p la n n in g . I t discouraged the electo rate fro m v o tin g “ Y e s ” fo r b o th e q u a liza tio n a n d a fee increase.

W h e n asked a b o u t th e rejec­ tio n o f a fee increase fo r the D a i l y , G ree n stated th a t he can ­ n o t see the S tu dents’ Society d ir e c tly assisting th e D a i l y fin a n c ia lly , a lth o u g h he w o u ld n o t be averse to su p p o rtin g a c a m p aig n to raise m o n ey fo r the new spaper next ye ar. “ W e have a d e fic it, t o o ,” he said.

J o li-C o e u r feels th a t the posi­ tio n o f V P E x te rn a l is the m ost p o litic a l p o s itio n on the ex­ ecutive because it involves d eal­ ing n o t o n ly w ith cam pus issues b u t w ith outside agencies, such as the p ro v in c ia l g o v e rn m e n t, as w e ll.

For the seventh consecutive year, CFRM -Radio McGill will be presenting its 50 hour Radio M a r a th o n b e n e fittin g th e Kidney Foundation o f Canada on March 13-15. This year’s host and D .J. will be Bertie Kish. This year there’s a dif­ ference: for the first time, CFRM is joining forces with Concordia University’s CRSGRadio Sir George to raise money and awareness for this very worthy cause. Nicholas Kay will be handling on-air duties for CRSG. You can leave donations at any one o f our many collection boxes. They’ll be located at all McGill Cafeterias as well as the Arts, Engineering, and Student U nion Buildings.

That’s just the tip o f the iceberg as far as the Canadian Kidney Foundation goes. They do everything from testing for the disease in school across Canada to providing Organ Donor Cards that help ease the sh ortage o f tran sp lan tab le organs.

And just where do the con­ tributions go? Over 55% o f the m oney goes towards research into finding a cure for Kidney Disease, another 20% to patient care, and 11% to education.

The Kidney Foundation does crucial work in many areas.

Last year, over 500 kidney transplants were performed in Canada. These operations were m ore su ccessfu l than ever thanks to Kidney Foundation research and the N ational Organ Retrieval and Exchange Network which was established by the organization.

M ost patients don’t have theo p p o r tu n ity to r eceiv e a transplant. For these people, Dialysis (the process o f cleans­ ing the blood by diffusion is the

by Frank Young The McGill Basketball Redmen end­ ed their season at the East Regional tournam ent in A n tigon ish , N ova Scotia last weekend. Friday night, the Redmen squared o f f against the Acadia Axem en. Even though the A x­ emen were the top ranked team in Canada, McGill played them even throughout m ost o f the game before losing 73-69. Sunday, the Redmen tip­ ped o ff against the n°10 Saskatchewan Huskies and w on 73-58. Even though McGill was the lowest ranked o f the 16 teams in the National playoffs, they proved themselves to be am ong the best half-dozen teams in the country.

Friday’s top scorers were Simon Onabowale and Owen Officer with 17 points apiece, while Bernie Rosanelli popped in 22 on Sunday. Congratula­ tio n s m u st g o to C o a c h Ken Schildroth, Assitant Coach Carlo Del Bosco and all o f the Redmen players. It seems as if these men have put Quebec basketball back at the level o f ex­ cellence from which it has fallen in re­ cent years. ******* Saturday was the day o f the Can-Am Intercollegiate Ski Series at St. Sauveur in the Laurentians.

It’s FUN and NOSTALGIA The 33rd A N N U A L McGILL UNIVERSITY W ATER SHOW The theme this year is Synchronized Swimming through the years. A few decades ago competitive Synchronized Swimming was judged on themes and costumes as well as swimming. This is a memory. Elements that judges conin a routine nowadays are execution o f technique, interpretation o f the music, synchronization, pool pattern, variety and difficulty. Many McGillians have participated in the annual show and in this special year — The W om en’s Centennial 1885-Î 985 since women were accepted at McGill — we invited many to com e back and celebrate with us. National Synchronized Swimming Champion and Gale Trophy winner from 1951 to 1954 Joan (Orser)

Roberts, is returning to add glitter to our show. Pauline M cCullagh, a N a­ tional Cham pion in the 60’S in Syn­ chro Swimming and a Provincial Swimming and Diving Champion o f yesteryear, will demonstrate Master Record holding race.

From Under The Bleachers

by Frank Young I spent this past Sunday as I have spent 90% o f the Sundays o f my life: watching sports on television. During the NFL season, this is an easy task, as all one has to do is put on the pre-game show at 12:30 and lie down until 7:00 and let the football seep in. Once fo o t­ ball season ends, though, the sports junkie must do som e scrambling.

Last Sunday, there was an American College basketball doubleheader on from 12-4. N o problem, college basket­ ball is an exdking and important sport.

A t 4 o ’clock, the trouble started. NBC was featuring sumo wrestling and the W orld 4-man Bobsledding Cham pion­ ships (“ from the beautiful Italian A lps” ). CBS gave us the W orld Junior Figure Skating Championships and the America’s Cup o f Gymnastics (“ Can Mary Lou Retton maintain her Olym­ pic form ?” ) The Canadian stations were featuring shows such as “ Hymn Sing” and “ Agriculture Is Fun” , so they were out o f the question.

When the choice is limited to trash

sports, the safest bet is to watch either th e tru ly bizarre or the tru ly dangerous. With-that in mind, I decid­ ed to spend my Sunday watching the sumo wrestling and the bobsledding.

The sumo got o ff to a slow start, when the play-by-play man announced that the colour commentator was none other than Pat Morita, the actor who played Arnold in the early episodes o f “ Happy D ays” . M orita told the au­ dience that he was thrilled to be doing the telecast, as he was “ the first Japanese-American to do the commen­ tary o f a sumo tournament on televi­ sion” . Clearly it was an historic event.

Before the matches started, the an­ nouncers gave a summary o f the rules o f sum o wrestling. I took offence to this, because after all doesn’t everyone know the rules? Anyway, the rules are simple: two house-sized men run into each other until one falls down or leaves the ring. .

The favourite in the match was W akashimazu, a svelte 370 pounder.

Sure enough Wakashimazu won all fif­ teen o f his fights, to put him self “ in

position to join the few Grand Cham­ pions o f Sum o” . Boy, I can hardly wait till that day, so I will be able to say “ I remember that guy from the days when he wasn’t even known outside o f Sumo circles.”

Next up was the 4-man Bobsledding Championships. The less said about bobsledding the better. Basically, four men with a death wish get into a fiberglass shell with the aerodynamics o f a bullet, and proceed to slide down a twisting course at speeds o f up to 85 miles per hour. N o brakes during the runs, and very little steering: not a future intramural sport. At any rate, East Germany I took the title. East Germany II was second, follow ed by Switzerland I and Switzerland II. Ob­ viously a sport with international ap­ peal.

Late winter is the time o f year when sports o f this caliber are put on the weekend television. Other sports that crop up in abundance this time o f year are sk i ju m p in g , s u r fin g , the “ S u p ersta rs” c o m p e titio n , n o n ­ championship; boxing, the USFL and indoor track and field. M ost o f these sports bore even the m ost die-hard fan, but I believe with a few rule changes som e o f them could becom e major at­ tractions.

Gymnastics, the USFL and surfing have no potential as spectator sports.

Figure skating does however have a world o f promise. To begin with, the singles competition would be more ex­ citing if the hockey nets were left on

tu & s d a y 1£ m a a c b 1985

the ice. Anyone can do a double axle these days, but how many skaters could perform that manoeuvre if they were trying to avoid slamming into the goalpost? That would just be a warm up for the pairs com petition, however.

Think o f how exciting it would be to have not only the nets on the ice, but to have tw o pairs o f skaters performing at the same time. In the future, we could actually see piggie back fights on ice, w h ile S tr a v in sk y p la y s in the background. That I would watch.

Ski jumping is a very dangerous sport, yet artistically, it is lacking. My proposal to improve this sport would involve having four separate jumps that face each other in such a manner that a sort o f “ X ” is formed. There could be two events involved: the joust and the mayhem jum p. In the joust, jumpers would take o ff from jumps directly across from each other. In mid-air, the opposing jumpers would try to flip each other with 9 foot tree limbs. Imagine the possibilities o f hav­ ing Russian and American jumpers hit­ ting each other in mid-air.

The second event, the mayhem, would involve having jumpers from four different countries taking o ff from separate jumps and converging in mid-air, 50 feet above the ground. N o tree limbs wold be necessary, as the laws o f physics dictate that at least three jumpers will collide in the air.

The winner would be the one who lands closest to any one o f four 10 foot circles in the snow. Awesom e.

PGSS was an entirely separate Faculty society, autonom ous from Students’ Society, and urged that the Board rule accordingly.

Keating closed for StudSoc, asser­ ting that student government at McGill is not o f a federal nature.

Each faculty society, he argued, ex­ ists independently o f one another, and consequently there is a degree o f overlap in the powers granted to each society.

Yet, because Senate had never re­ quested that PGSS make committee appointments, StudSoc is not infring­ ing upon the prerogatives o f PGSS. Ultimately, Keating returned his argument to the assertion that the jurisdictions are not a matter for the Judicial Board to settle, but rather for Senate.

The hearing adjourned with the Judicial Board promising a ruling within a week.

Crawhall countered that the article was “ a general description” , but what is at stake is the specific interests o f PGSS. ‘‘There is the matter o f accoun­ tability,” said Crawhall. ‘‘Graduates are r e p r e s e n t e d th r o u g h th e nominating com m ittee o f PGSS, and from there go to Students’ Society’s nominating com m ittee. Accountability is taken away from PGSS to what is essentially a different b od y.”

When asked by the Judicial Board if PGSS had so far disagreed with a StudSoc nominating com m ittee’s choice in the year sin ce P G S S ’ sep arate nominating com m ittee was established, Fraser admitted that there had been no disagreements, but cited numerous delays in the ratification o f PGSS choices that ranged from 3 weeks to two months.

Crawhall and Fraser summed up their presentation by arguing that
