by G e o ff H a ll A s M a in C am p u s M cG illia n s , we can easily lose sight o f any activity that takes place beyond the insulating walls o f the d o w n to w n skyscrapers. In case yo u were w ondering, out on the W est Island, o u r fellow M a c D o n a ld C am pus M c G illia n s are still alive. La te ly, they have been witnessing some im p orta n t events that we m ig ht have missed. M a rc V ezina is the new President o f the M a c D o n a ld C am p u s Students’ C o u n c il. T h e second year economics student was acclaimed fo r the position on September 20. Fo llo w in g an election last spring, Vezina had planned to serve as Internal Vice President o f the council, but when President-elect L o is F o w le r resigned her position fo r undisclosed personal reasons shortly after her election, she left the position vacant. Speaking fro m the M a c D o n a ld C am p u s Students’ C o u n c il office, Vezina gave an appraisal o f the situa tion on the W est Island site: “ T h is is going to be a year o f rebuilding. W e have to make up fo r the lack o f organization o f past years. I t ’s now or never.” In a reference to his co uncil’ s debt to
the university, V ezina com m ented, “ W e are in a difficult financial situa tion right n ow . W h e n you are repaying a loan, it’ s difficult to keep u p .n o rm a l operations, let alone im p ro v e .” O n a m ore positive note, he added: “ B u t m ore than last year, the feeling is that students are getting m ore involved in activities o f student life, such as councils and clubs. “ R ight now our problem is that we’re not com pletely orga n ize d .” T o explain this, Vezina m entioned u p co m ing elections fo r the positions o f Inter nal Vice President and M em bers-atlarge. H e seemed confident that the year o f rebuilding w hich he foresees could begin once the positions are fill ed. Events planned to start the year in clude a referendum on the O ’ Keefe boycott and an Octoberfest. Vezina hopes to jo in forces w ith M a in C am pus for these Octoberfest celebrations. Such an event m ight result in closer ties between the tw o campuses; it m ight even give a higher profile to those M cG illia n s on the M a c D o n a ld C a m pus, the fringe o f the M ontreal universe.

Council Meets Twice by B ria n T o d d Students’ Society got o ff to a somewhat storm y start last week when the scheduled meeting for Tu e sda y, September 25 was declared unconstitu tional and forced into a com m ittee-ofthe-w hole structure. In effect, this lim i ted the meeting’s ability to make deci sions. A ll matters discussed were mere ly recom m endations fo r future C o u n c il meetings. T h e meeting was ruled u n constitutional due to the lack o f fiveday notice. A s a result o f Tuesday m eeting’ s status, it was necessary to hold a meeting on Sunday, September 30 to fu lfill the constitution’s require ment o f one meeting per m o n th . Tu e s d a y’ s meeting centred on the reports to C o u n c il fro m the fo rm e r E x ecutive C om m ittee, the new Executive Com m ittee and the various individuals in the new Executive C om m ittee Scott K eating, V P Finance and R o n Leber V P U n iversity A ffa irs w ithheld their reports until later in the year. M o st at
tention was paid to the W o m e n -O n ly D ance. In its report to C o u n c il, the E x ecutive C om m ittee has recomm ended that C o u n c il not allow the W o m e n ’ s U n io n to hold a W o m e n -O n ly Dance since it seemed to contradict C o u n c il po licy forcing all funded events to be open to all members o f the Students’ Society. Several suggestions were bro u ght fo rw a rd b y members o f C o u n cil, N a n cy K in g sb u ry o f the W o m e n ’ s U n io n and M elin d a W ittstock o f the M c G ill D a ily including the suggestion that the dance be changed to a W o m e n ’s D ance. O n Sunday, it was decided to rem ove the controversial section o f the Executive Com m ittee R eport until the W o m e n ’ s U n io n had submitted their resolutions in w ritin g . At T u e s d a y ’ s m e e tin g , th re e representatives o f Les Services A lim e n taires C . V . C . were present to discuss th e ir new re la tio n s h ip w ith the Students’ Society. It was made clear continued on page 2
“ C a d d i l l a c F a i r v i e w p r o je c t ? W h a t’ s that? O h . Y o u mean that con struction business on M c G ill College A v e ? ” T h a t was a typical com m ent ob tained fro m one passerby on Sher brooke St. one o fternoon. T h e fo llo w ing is a sum m ary o f the entire con troversial affair since its birth four m onths ago. It began the first week o f A p r il when C ad illa c -Fa irvie w C o . L t d o f T o ro n to , a real estate developer, proposed to construct a shopping m all on M c G ill College A ve n u e, com prised o f four storys o f 175 stores, cinemas, a $30 m illio n concert hall, a restaurant and a 26 floor office tower. T h e w hole p ro ject was to have cost an estimated $120 m illio n , generating around 3000 con struction jobs fo r tw o years, an estimated 4600 perm anent job s, $52 m illio n in wages per year and p rob a b ly another $61 m illio n dollars o f other ac tivities in the Quebec econom y.
Sounds great, eh? So where is the controversy? Read on. T h e site that was chosed was a block bounded by M c G ill College A v e ., St. C a t h e rin e S t . ,D e M a i s o n n e u v e B lv d . and M a n s fie ld S t. (C a d illa c F a irv ie w already owns m uch o f the site and if the plan is approved b y the city coun cil, the rest o f the site w ill be ex propriated fro m the present ow ners.) In building this com plex, the initial p la n was to include tw o aerial w alkways: one, a three story bridge across M c G ill College A v e . linking Les Terrasses w ith the com plex, and the other a tw o story structure over M ansfield st. connecting the proposed shopping m all w ith the Simpsons departm ent store. T h is plan was opposed b y some members o f the public since it w ould obstruct the view o f M o u n t R o ya l. T h e continued on page 3

NEWS__ § Uta Hagen Speaks Out... Drama for Dreamers
The McGill Tribune • Tuesday 2 October 1984
by Patricia E . Rachofsky
T he C on solid ated -B ath u rst L ectu re Series is a series o f sp ecia l lectures organ ized by the M cG ill D epartm en t o f English u nder the au spices o f C on solidated -B ath u rst In co rp ortated , a fo r e s t p ro d u cts a n d p ack a g in g co m pany. O n M o n d a y , September 24, actress U ta Hagen spoke about contem porary theatre. She made her theatre debut in 1939 at the Shubert Th e atre . F ro m there she launched a successful career as an actress, highlighted b y a long B ro a d w a y perform ance o f O thello w ith P aul Robeson. In 1947, she joined the founding directors o f the famous H e rb e rt B e rgho f A c tin g Studio in N e w Y o r k C ity . Since that time, she has established herself as one o f the w o r ld ’ s greatest a ctin g teachers, boasting students such as Jack L e m -
m o n . H e r b o o k, R esp ect F o r A cting, published in 1973, defines some o f her basic teaching principles. In 1981, U ta H agen was nam ed to the Th e atre H a ll o f Fam e. M s. H a ge n spoke on the craft and training o f actors, and on the state o f theatre today, particularly in terms o f the problem s w hich face aspiring ac tors. She points out tw o ways in w hich actors train: the traditional w a y and the “ h u m a n ” w ay described in her b o o k . She pans the traditional w ay because actors learn to be perform ers, to be recognized as people w ho are sim ply representing characters on a stage. She does, how ever, advocate traditional voice and speech exercises. H agen reproaches the attitude o f m a n y actors to day: “ Y o u ’ re not a person anym ore — y o u ’ re an a c to r!” H a ge n points the w a y fo r “ serious artists” to find success in to d a y’ s
Cadillac Fairview continued fro m page 1 opposition to the aerial gallery subse q u e n tly m a d e C a d illa c F a ir v ie w eliminate the bridge fro m the plan. H o w e ve r, the com pa n y agreed to in clude a concert hall in the com plex w ith the hope that it w o u ld become the future hom e o f the n o w -fam o u s M o n tréal S ym p h o n y O rchestra. T h e other aerial bridge over M ansfield was kept in the plan. It was also noticed that the plan did not include the w idening o f M c G ill College A v e ., an idea proposed over tw enty years ago b y another com m er cial scheme. In fact, the city council itself had always hoped fo r some com mercial developm ent in the area w hich w o u ld widen the road fro m its present 18 m to 36 m . Cadillac Fairvie w decid ed not to widen M c G ill College A v e . stating that w ith the inclusion o f the concert hall, it wasn’ t possible to widen the street w ithou t incurring a loss. A m o n g others beside the city council was Stephen L e o p o ld , president o f Le o p o ld Properties L td . (w h ich ar ranges com m ercial leases fo r corporate clients). Le op old pointed to the suc cesses o f other shopping malls on the island like Fairvie w , C a rre fo u r La va l, Galleries d ’ A n jo u and St. B ru n o , all designed and built by Cadillac F a irview. H e then com pared the proposed com plex w ith T o r o n o ’ s E a to n Centre w hich generates annually $500 m illion o f w hich $200 m illion are new dollars from out o f to w n , especially the U .S ., an econom ic input w hich he insisted was critical to M o n tré a l’s econom y. (A m o n g his other backers included M c L e o d , Y o u n g and W e ir — one o f C a n a d a ’ s largest investment dealers and a key tenant in Place M ercantile at the northern head of'The avenue.) Bruce A n d e rso n , a professor o f ar chitecture at M c G ill U n ive rs ity sug gested that the concert hall be aligned on M c G ill College A v e . instead o f de M aisonneuve so that the street could be widened. T o compensate fo r the reduc ed space, he further suggested adding another flo o r to the m all. T h is was not readily accepted b y C adillac Fairview as they contended that the general public w o u ld be u n w illin g to clim b m ore that fo u r floors in a shopping
m all. C ritics however, argue that w ith im aginative architecture such as install ing glassed elevators (like the ones in Les Terrasses) and sim ilar measures, one could entice the potential shopper further upw ards. T h o u g h there was a grow ing public dissatisfaction w ith the m anner in w hich the adm inistration was handling the area’ s developm ent, the m a yo r refused to reconsider his decision to allow the project to proceed as plann ed. In fact, the city supported the idea o f an aerial gallery over M c G ill College A v e . when C adillac F airview first presented the idea although, as P ro fessor Derek D ru m m o n d , an architec ture professor at M c G ill U n ive rs ity, later pointed out in an interview granted to the “ T r ib u n e ” , it has long been a standing policy o f M o n tre a l to have any pedestrian netw ork develop ment underg round. T h e plea fo r a delay in the construc tion project was supported b y architect Phyllis L a m b e rt, past president o f Heritage M o n tré a l and a m em ber o f the influential B ro n fm a n fa m ily w hich controls the Cadillac F airview firm . To g e the r w ith Heritage M o n tre a l, they requested the co m pa n y to place a two m onth m o ra to riu m on the controver sial developm ent plan. Heritage M o n treal proposed an im partial committee to be established and given tw o m onths to draft guidelines fo r the development o f M c G ill College A v e . before w o rk could begin in A u g u s t. T h e proposed committee w o uld be made up o f representatives fro m the city o f M o n tréal, C adillac F a irvie w , M o n tre a l S y m p h o n y O rch e stra , C O P E M (a g ro u p representing the M o n tré a l B oard o f Tra d e and the C h a m b re de C o m merce) and H eritage M o n tré a l. Th is committee w o u ld study the project’ s effects on the view o f M o u n t R o ya l, the design o f M c G ill College A v e . and the c o m m e rc ia l a c tiv ity o n S t. Catherine St. as well as other streets. Th e re was also a call on the Québec governm ent to delay construction o f the com plex so as to enable the holding o f public hearings.

com m ercially-m in d e d society through independent study, practice, and in d e fa tig a b le d e v o tio n to th e a tre : “ E v e ry step o f the w a y is going to be m u rd e r!” A n actor m ust take on every aspect o f a character’ s personality: “ H e m ust wear the hair shirt” . A n ac to r should read play after pla y after play, until he finds one w hich he “ b u rn s” to p e rfo rm . T h e actor must then jo in a co m pa n y o f some sort, whether it is a g ro u p o f friends or a pre-established co m pa n y. A com pany should concern itself w ith the creation o f an artistic p ro d u ct, not w ith the sale o f this product. I f the members w o rk well enough together, the play they produce w ill sell itself. T h e size o f the opening night audience is not im p o r tant to her. H agen com m ented on the opulent state o f theatre in E u ro p e , contrasting it w ith the state o f the art in N o rth A m e ric a . She noted W est G e rm a n y and A u stria , where small theatres and theatre companies are well subsidized b y the governm ent. A c to rs there are “ spoiled” in that they d o n ’ t need to slave to reach both artistic and com m ercial goals. T h e y have am ple m oney and w o rk . O n B ro a d w a y, H a ge n says, there is co rrup tio n and wastefulness
w hich detract fro m the co m p a n y’ s at tention to their proper art. Costum es, props, sets, and producers w h o add their o w n “ personal” touch to the show tend to drag the com pa n y w ith tru ly artistic aspirations d ow n into the depths o f the com m ercial theatre w o rld . T ra d e unions, w hich tend to get involved m ore than to make sure an ac tor has a jo b , also detract fro m a play. H a ge n concluded her lecture by describing audition procedures w hich face aspiring actors. She advises having tw enty to th irty pieces ready for audi tion at any time. W h e n she auditions actors, she says, she looks for sensitivi ty , a love o f p erfom ing, experience, and skill. T h e actor must present a hum an being, not just a character whose lines have been m em orized and perform ed. T h e lecture’ s audience filled Leacock 132 w ith an interesting m ixture o f peo p le , ra n g in g fro m ‘ B o a rd of C hancellors’ types to ‘ starving actor’ types. M s. Hagen was bom barded b y questions for about fo rty m inutes after she concluded her speech. T h e next C on solidated-B athurst lecturer w ill be actress Kate R eid. O n O ctober 1, she w il present her topic “ A c tin g : Pros and C o n s .”

Montin on the Prowl by Leif R. Montin I am the lonliest colum nist. T h is is because I have the late-night colum n w hich n o b o d y reads. I have asked them to give me another colum n — a m o rn ing one w o u ld be nice — but they refuse. “ Y o u ’re perfect for the night time c ro w d ,” they say, and I, because I am so sleepy, agree. T h e grave-yard colum n. A ll the lines are o p e n ...Is there a n yb o d y out there? “ H e llo , is this ?” Sure is, what w ould yo u like to rap about? “ T H E H o m e co m in g game that took place last w eek.” Lik e , w hat aspect o f it? “ T h e V u lg a r D isplay b y Q ueen’ s F a n s .” O h , oka y, so eliminate half the discussion. “ (o n ly a handful o f the M c G ill students....stooped to the depths o f the Q ueen’ s m o b ). H a rk ! W h a t m anner o f m an is this w ho speaks in parentheses? C o u ld it be that fan o f liberal arts T i m Burkulosis? TB , m y lifelong b u d d y and pal (because no one reads his colum n either). Th e re are com m entators and com m ontaters, and then there’ s T i m , a com m on ’tater. N o w on w ith the w ay this colum nist has been taught to w rite to no one in particular: Q ueen’s students once again im pressed those w ho had never seen it before b y painting their faces the same colour as their genitals. T h e y begged M cG illite s to do the same, b u t, came the clever reply, where w o u ld we get enough gold paint! P re-gam e fun included getting in for free, betting on the score — w hich soon became tedious as the pre-game score does not, in general, change — and o f course, deciding w hich o f the tw o flavours o f beer tasted better took up the slack. Soon the game was well under w ay, and as Q ueen’ s A p p lie d Sighs lowered t h e ir th u n d e rw e a r to s p e ll “ Q U E E N ’ S ! ” , M c G il l E n g in e e rs rem inded them w hat high tech was all aéout b y sending water balloons across the field at ninety miles an h o u r w ith the aid o f a funnelator. T h e m oral was clear: D o n ’t bum -blast an engineer. B u t bum -blast us they d id , as Q ueen’ s quickly took the initiative and streaked across the big green area separating the parties, hanging rats left, right and centre field. O b vio u s ly, after a long bus ride there is nothing m ore relaxing that running around naked in fron t o f a couple o f thousand strangers. “ Q u e e n ’ s a re Q u e e n s fro m Q ue e n ’ s” shouted one aroused U1 still looking at his first B -B -B e e r, and soon the entire grandstand was shouting “ R e d -M e n R e d -M e n R e d -M e n ” which is easier to rem ember. Th e re was a preoccupation am ong some fans o f collegiate football to take a negative view o f the subtler aspects o f spectating, the damage caused by ro w d y drunken fans fo r instance.

L e t t e r to t h e E d it o r I am sure yo u are all aware o f the events that took place at the M c G illQueens F o o tb a ll game last Saturday and the stir caused in the Sunday E x press, M on treal G azette and the radio talk shows, particularly the Joe C a n non show on C J A D . O n the next day (Tu e s d a y ), a fte r the Joe C a n n o n S h o w , I was particularly struck b y a caller w ho identified him self as a M c G ill engineer and w ho proceeded to defend him self and hisi colleagues b y explaining that the M c G ill engineers were o n ly out there to have some good clean fun and all the damage and outrage had been caused b y the Queens students! H e then plead ed w ith the public to understand that M c G ill engineers are not a bunch o f yahoos but rather responsible young adults w h o have true concern fo r other people’ s feelings and property. I th in k the yo u n g m an misses the point; rather than defend yourself by pleading w ith the public, w h y not use this m a g n ific e n t o p p o r t u n it y to demonstrate to the public and y o u r fellow students y o u r ability to enjoy yourselves, to use y o u r resourcefulness and to show y o u r initiative that we all k n o w yo u possess.

H e re is w h y I am w ritin g to you. W h y not respond to the challenge as a student body? L e t’ s get the M c G ill engineers to show the w ay. W h a t a glorious o p p o rtu n ity for you all to show the 6000 or 7000 people what you are all about. People and students are interested in what you do in other fields, such as music, arts, physical activities a n d o th er sports. Y o u w o u ld be starting fro m scratch — as nothing is being done right now . Y o u do not H A V E to copy w h a t’ s done in the U S A ; you can be original and just understand the enjoym ent these schools get fro m doing things that are positive, im aginative and stim ulating. First thing to get started is the Stadium itself — the place is in a mess; it needs some housekeeping, organiza
tion, volunteers at the games including c o m m itte e s to w e lc o m e v is itin g students, ushers at the game to make sure everybody is being treated p roper ly , committees or groups fo r pre-gam e, halftim e and after-gam e activities, and some decently ru n concessions. P L E A S E D O N O T W A I T for the adm inistration to do this, I k n o w through m y ow n personal experience that they are slower than crustaceans! Y o u have to realize that the initiative m ust com e fro m YO U TH E S T U D E N T S . H o w e ve r I w ou ld gladly and quickly fo rm a graduates’ c o m m it tee or grou p that w o u ld volunteer to meet w ith you and help in any w a y w ith s u g g e s tio n s , aids o r tim e , b u t rem em ber the initiative has to come fro m Y O U .

the recognition it deserves. H o w a rd Jones’ debut album should certainly not be allowed to pass b y w ithout ac claim . Jones, a native o f B ritain (aren’ t they all?) was a student o f classical piano in L o n d o n before he decided that the classical atmosphere was too rigid and stifling to creativity. Conse quently, he transferred his musical ex pertise to the p opular scene and has never looked back. H o w a rd Jones is an excellent songwriter. H is lyrics are intelligent, original and refined; and throughout the alb u m runs his m ain theme: the sovereignty o f the individual. Choice selections on H U M A N ’S L I B include “ N e w S o n g ” , an up tem po song o f hope; “ H u n t the S e l f ’ , a curious, bluesy piece about Creation and “ W h a t is L o v e ” , a song o f de fiance, w ith a beat. A one m an band, H o w a rd Jones’ mastery o f the synthesizer is am azing. H U M A N ’S L IB is a tru ly innovative album . M a k e sure yo u hear it.

A superb album ! ! T h e collaboration o f these tw o high ly talented musicians has resulted in an extraordinary hi-tech ja m session. T h e album is completely instrum ental.

Th e album is essentially one long cliché — suitable for the bubblegum set and highschool dances. M o st o f the lyrics are cloying, bordering on m otherly ad vice. De Y o u n g tries to get tough on “ Boys W ill Be B oys” , but this just sounds contrived. D e Y o u n g should stick to airy ballads. “ Desert M o o n ” is not bad but it can’ t ca rry the album .

C om parisons to brother M ichael are inevitable. Listening to her highp it c h e d s q u e a l r e m in is c e n t o f M icha e l’ s younger days, one almost ex pects Janet to break into “ A B C , it’ s easy as 1 2 3 ...” W h a t Jackson’ s voice lacks in depth is made up fo r b y the slick production o f the a lb u m its e lf, a q u a lity c h a r a c t e r is t ic o f a ll J a c k s o n endeavours.

T w o o f the better cuts include “ T w o to the P o w e r o f L o v e ” and “ I f it Takes A l l N ig h t.” U n fo rtu n a te ly, the entire album is a case o f all fo rm and no substance. Janet Jackson’s face could launch a thousand album covers. T o o bad her voice can’t launch a hit.
Lieutenant Th o m p s o n was w alking past the Sam uel B ro n fm a n B uild in g when he heard the screams, “ Rape! Rape! H e lp !” a w o m a n ’ s voice cried out in terror. A t once, the lieutenant raced along the wet sidewalk in the direction o f the screams, w ith a num ber o f people at his heels. In the alley beside the B ro n fm a n B uild in g stood a p e tite w o m a n w ith blonde hair, her face chalk w hite, her head buried in her hands. She was evidently the source o f the screams. She was sobbing heavily, desperately trying to catch her breath. Lieutenant Th o m p s o n approached her slow ly and put his coat around her. H e r shirt had been to rn d o w n the front and she was cold fro m the rain. “ M iss, are you alright?” the lieute nant asked softly. T h e yo u n g lady shook her head. In m om ents, a crow d began to fo rm around her. T h e lieutenant escorted her aw ay fro m the alley and brought her to his office, where he w o uld be able to get to the bo tto m o f everything. T h e sky was already clearing up when the tw o reached the lieutenant’ s office. O nce there, the young blonde w om an sat motionless across fro m
Lieutenant Th o m p s o n . She had not spoken a w o rd until the lieutenant smiled and asked her, “ W h a t’ s you r nam e?” She looked straight into the lieute nant’ s eyes. “ L in d a ...L in d a H o w ie s ,” she answered. “ T e ll me what happened. F ro m the b e ginning,” the lieutenant said. L in d a H ow ies rose fro m her chair and began to pace the floor o f T h o m p son’ s office. H e came fro m behind m e ... in the a lle y,” she said. “ H e grab bed m y arm and swung me a ro u n d .” “ G o o d . D id yo u see his face?” ask ed the lieutenant. “ N o , no. H e was wearing a m ask,” L in d a H ow ies replied. “ D id yo u see a nything?” “ I . . . I d o n ’ t rem em ber.” “ A n y th in g . D o yo u rem em ber a n yth in g?” “ Yes, yes. H e was wearing a jacket. It was red and blue w ith a yellow strip d o w n the side o f it.” “ D id yo u notice anything else?” asked Lieutenant Th o m p s o n . “ N o th in g , n o th in g .” T h is was w hat Lieutenant T h o m p son needed to begin his investigation. Later, after the police had finished questioning L in d a H ow ies, the lieute nant began to search through his exten sive files and q u ick ly arrived at the answer he had hoped to find. In the span o f seventy-five years, o n ly one club at M c G ill had w o rn red and blue jackets w ith a distinctive yellow strip d o w n the side o f it. In 1966, the M c G ill Chess C lu b had purchased such jackets, but there were o n ly three members at the tim e. A p p a re n tly, all three gentlemen still lived in M o n tre a l, according to Th o m p s o n ’ s sources. Th e re was Jason R ya n , a long time
ow ner o f a sporting goods store located o ff the M c G ill C am pus. A c co rd in g to the police, he had a relatively clean record, except for a few unpaid tickets. Th e re was D a vid H u tc h , recently divorced and an unem ployed electri cian. H e had a long record o f disorder ly conduct. A n d finally, there was T o m R a vid u r, a successful L a b o u r La w y e r and, ac cording to T h o m p s o n ’ s sources, a fre quent patron o f an establishment call ed D u tc h y ’ s G irls . Lieutenant T h o m p s o n ’ s course o f action was clear. M om ents later, he was speeding along Sherbrooke Street on his w a y to visit each o f his suspects. T h e lieutenant was at T o m R a v id u r’ s law office in no time at all. It was a dark and glo o m y office. S u rrou n d in g the lieutenant, were shelves o f leather b ou n d books. “ M r . R a vid u r, I ’m here on behalf o f the police. I hope you w ill co-operate w ith m e ,” Lieutenant Th o m p s o n said. “ Lieutenant, y o u ’ ll have no problem here,” R a vid u r answered. O nce the lieutenant explained the situation to h im , he produced a note pad fro m his pocket. M r . R a vid u r, can you account for y o u r whereabouts this m o rn in g at 7:00 a m ?” “ V e ry easily,” R a vid u r said. Th e n he buzzed for his secretary w ho, later verified his alibi. W h e n Lieutenant Th o m p s o n met Jason R y a n in the lot directly behind his store, he was busy sweeping away dust fro m a num ber o f tents that had been set up there. S lo w ly, the lieute nant approached h im from behind. “ M r . R ya n , the police called you earlier about me. I ’ m Lieutenant T h o m p s o n .”

Screen Test by Steve Fraser Windy City is the story o f a young w riter as he tells his tale o f grow ing up in C hica g o (hence, the name W in d y C i ty ). T h e film flashes back and forth through his past and present, and this makes for some very interesting plot ting and sub-plotting. W h a t is also nice about this use o f time is that it is handl ed tactfully; it does not fall apart at the seams. It begins w ith Jo h n Shea, as a w riter named D a n n y , narrating the w ords yo q m ight have read in the m ovie’ s newspaper ad: M e a n d m y frien d s, we

R ya n , m aybe you can ten me w hat you were doing at seven a .m . this m o rn in g ? ” “ O h , I was very busy putting up these tents,” Jason Ryan answered. “ I had to before any customers w o u ld ar riv e .” It was already late in the afternoon when Lieutenant Th o m p s o n came u p on D a v id H u tc h in his decrepid home on Sim pson Street. H e was unkept and his breath reaked o f w hisky when he answered the d oo r. “ W h o are y o u ? ” H u tc h dem anded, slurring the words. “ Lieutenant Th o m p s o n . I w o n ’ t take too m uch o f you r tim e .” A fte r tw enty minutes, the lieutenant m anaged to give H u tc h the details o f the case. W h e n he was finished, Th o m p s o n dem anded, “ W here were
you at seven o ’ clock this m o rn in g ? ” “ N o n e o f yo u r goddam ned business, you h a c k ,” H u tc h shouted. T h e n he slammed the d o o r in Th o m p s o n ’ s face. Later, at Th o m p s o n ’ s request, H u tc h was picked up fo r questioning and brought to Station Five. T h e police learned that he was on his w ay back from a bar when the said rape took place.

Som ething was keeping him there; a fact he co u ld n ’ t place, som ething that d id n ’t fit in. A s he paced the flo o r, the answer finally came to him .

example o f gram m atical use but it sure has style! D a n n y and his friends lived in a rough section o f C hica g o . T h e y band ed together under the name The R og u es and hung out like m ost kids do. T h e Rogues were forever dreamers. T h e y loved to watch movies and fan tasized about being their silver screen heroes. Eve n after each m em ber had gone on to his respective career, the gang still clung together. T h e ir ter m in a lly ill leader, Saul, a chubby but cheery fellow played b y Josh M ostel, epitom ized w hat the gang was all about. H e inspired them. H e was the spirit that kept them together over the years. A l l the characters are well developed
b y A rm y a n Bernstein w ho wrote and directed Windy City. O f the seven gang mem bers, we have a nice variety: a restaurenteur, a business executive, a t ro u b le m a k e r a s p irin g to be a m illionaire, a newscaster, and the nar rator, a w riter. T h e m ovie shows the relationships between D a n n y and his fellow Rogues. It concentrates p rim a rily on his friend ship w ith the hospitalized Saul and his p u rs u it o f E m i l y , his s p o ra d ic girlfriend played b y Kate Capshaw . F o r a w hile, it almost seemed that part o f the film w o u ld tu rn into a copy o f T he G raduate. In fact, there is even a m ention o f this film earlier on. T h e sim ilarity ends, however, when D a n n y tries to stop E m ily fro m m a rryin g another m an, bu t arrives too late. T h e strength o f Windy City lies in the fact that it could be a true story. I t ’ s a very intense dram a but has an element o f com ic relief ru n n in g through w hich makes it very realistic. T h is m ovie is not a B ig C h ill rip off. In The Big C hill I thought the attention was too dispersed and that m any characters were m elancholy. It attemp ted to show the demise o f the high hopes w hich characterized the 60’ s. In Windy City we get a different perspec tive o f the same generation. T h e whole thing is about a bunch o f dreamers fac ing reality. They haven’t given up. T h e y still have dreams and believe in h appy endings.

W e ll, first o f all, we got involved about a year ago when we were asked whether M c G ill College w o u ld be a good site for a concert hall. W e looked at all the pros and cons and decided that it was a very vital site fo r a concert hall, since a concert hall was required im m ediately in the city. T h e need for a concert hall is something that perhaps has not been made very clear to the general public. T h is is a large city with o n ly one concert hall, o r I should say o nly one place in w hich to produce

“Ring of Fire” Stops Stingers
by G le n Cunningham A determined M c G ill Redm en foot ball team thrashed the C o n co rd ia Stingers 24-12 F rid a y night before an enthusiastic audience at M o ls o n Stadium . Sparked b y a rejuvenated defense spearheaded b y Linebackers P hilippe Sicotte and C lif f W ilso n and a new fo un d ru n n in g game featuring the elusive powerhouse A n d y H o lm a n , the Redm en rolled over the Stingers to push their record to 2-1. T h e Redm en got out o f the blocks fast when D .B . R o b in Belanger in tercepted and threaded his w a y 45 yards to the Stinger 13 yard line. F ra n k O live tti slashed his w a y in fro m the tw o to pu t the Redm en up b y 7 w ith the M ille r P A T . C o n co rd ia rebounded w ith a single and then drove the length o f the field w ith a series o f E d Shirley runs to set up a one ya rd smash b y George D rim a lo p o u lu s to go ahead 8-7. T h e Stingers had made it lo o k easy and the Red and W h ite defense feared another game m arred b y their inability to stop the grou n d game. Defensive coach L a rry R in g huddled his defen sive unit and rallied them w ith en couragem ent, “ W e kn ow w hat they are doing. D o n ’t w o rry about it (the score). W e ’ ll a d ju st.” T h e Redm en, pride restored, held the Stingers to a single and a field goal as they stayed close at 12-7 at the inter m ission. A s prom ised, R in g ’s half-tim e ad justm ents allowed for a fired-up defense to shut o ff the Stingers co m pletely. Shirley w h o was able to pick up huge yardage early in the game was go ing nowhere as the Red and W h ite fill ed the gaps and sealed the outside. T h e y played it tough in the m iddle w here M a rc L a b re cq u e was im moveable. Defensive ends D o n B urns and A la in D e lorm e got the penetration they wanted and the linebackers had a field day teeing o ff on the C o n co rd ia backfield. Blitzes b y Sicotte, W ilso n ,
François Jo v in (w h o had an outstan ding evening), Sicotte again and Steve Niles thw arted five consecutive posses sions and allowed the Redm en to gain control. C o a ch R in g acknowledged, “ W e wanted to get in their faces.” Indeed Red Jerseys storm ed all over the Stinger backfield shutting o ff the C o n cordia “ w o u ld -b e ” o p tio n attack that C o ach R o n T o n d in o had implem ented fo r the gam e. W h a t T o n d in o in his in finite w isdom overlooked was the fact that he did not have a Peter H a rris o n (Q u e e n ’s outstanding quarterback) to ru n the op tio n attack. W ith C o n co rd ia stymied b y L a r r y ’ s “ R ing o f F ire ” charging defense, the Red and W h ite offense began to churn out the yardage w ith giant strides as A n d y H o lm a n slashed his w a y th ro ugh gaping holes in the Stinger defensive line.
R in g turned his linebackers loose as they blasted through to knock the ball free where Steve Niles gobbled it up and rum bled d o w n to the goal line w ith an entourage. C ra w fo rd to o k it u p and over fro m there behind all-star centre Steve G edney to take a com m anding 24-12 lead. A last-ditch C o n co rd ia drive was stopped w hen Sicotte intercepted to ice it. T h e Redm en had several heroes in u n ifo rm on this night but it was the ability to adjust that allowed victo ry. M c G ill beat C o n co rd ia because o f their ability to think in addition to their hard-nosed b ra n d o f football. L a r r y ’s

M c G ill’s other tw o goals came on penalty kicks w ithin 30 seconds o f each other in the first h alf. T h e second goal was scored b y M a rk N oe and the final goal was put in by Valerio G a zzola . In the second half, all the credit goes to Tro is-R ivie re s as they tried to fight
back and shut out the Redm en at the same tim e. Tro is-R ivie re s goaltender D a n y Delysle was m agnificent in the second h alf as he turned away several Redm en shots. M c G ill G oalie P aul Desbarats, although rarely tested, came up big when needed.

Wen Do: Learning to Protect Yourself by Lisa Weintraub, Wen-Do Instructor L o ra completed her first basic W e n D o course 5 years after she was sexual ly assaulted b y a fellow w orker. T h e night her course ended, she found herself being pushed tow ard a car by tw o m en. F o u r m ore men sat w aiting in the car. She heard herself say “ no w a y ” , and elbowed both assailants in the stomach. T h e y dropped to their knees in pain and shock, and L o ra ran to safety. T h is is the type o f story that is rarely fo un d in the newspaper. In W e n -D o , it is called a “ success story” , and W e n D o teachers and students have m a n y of them to recount. W e n -D o is a 12 year old self-defense course designed fo r w om en and taught only b y w om en. It is being offered again this fall as one o f M c G ill’ s M in iCourses. W e n -D o students learn that strength is not im p o rta n t; what counts is the decision to defend oneself, as well as knowledge about attacks. T h e course teaches w om en o f all ages, shapes and sizes simple physical and verbal techni ques. Students learn to defend
themselves against weapons, m ultiple attacks and purse-snatching. T o help them utilize the techniques they learn, m ethods o f self-control are emphasized as well. Physical activity in a cooperative en viron m en t is interspersed w ith in fo r m ation on legal rights in self-defense, sexual assault, assertiveness and ways to recognize and deal w ith agression. T h e aim is to teach w om en how to protect themselves by taking control in their lives. H ere is w hat w om en w ho took the course at M c G ill last year said: “ E v e ry w o m a n should take it! It feels so good! “ Since I ’ ve started W e n -D o I feel so strong in m y m ind and b o d y .” “ I t ’ s fun , and you learn so m uch! I wish it had gone on lo n g e r!” • “ W e n -D o changed m y vision in so m any ways: I was afraid and everyone could tell. N o w I feel I have a right to the space around me. People respect me m o re .”

fro m other fans at the games. Better yet, w h y not ban students fro m College football altogether? George Springate, whose colum n in the Sunday Express is m ore than a little sensationalized, came aw ay fro m the game w ith the impression that all students at the game were subhum an. A c co rd in g to M r . Springate, “ Five thousand spectators attended yester day’ s game. O n ly 20 were h u m a n .” H m m m ...le t’ s see, seven o r eight reporters, statisticians, announcer, a couple o f interested non-students and the n u m ber o f hum ans is up to about 15. I w onder w ho the other hum ans were? A s fo r the rest o f the “ m o b ” , we were all too busy sm oking drugs and attacking the Q ueen’s band to even see the game. (B y the w ay M r . Springate, it was Q ueen’ s students w h o attacked the band, and not students o f M c G ill). A s for the cro w d roaring its’ approval o f the rape o f the m annequin, the M c G ill side o f the field could not even see what was going on. A s for the naked m an on the goalposts, everyone w ho m I have spoken to, failed to see him . T h e p oint is not to defend the ac tions o f those students w ho were too d ru n k to th in k; the point is that the m edia, and especially George S p r ingate, overreacted to the p oint of' foolishness. A s a student o f M c G ill, I am m ore offended b y lines such as “ B o o ze , n u d ity , d ru g s , assaults,
In the wake o f the melée after the hom ecom ing football gam e, m a n y peo ple have expressed outrage at the behaviour o f the fans at the game. Eve n the Globe and Mail printed a small editorial about the o ff the field action. I attended the game and had a great tim e. Thousands o f others at tended the game and had a great time. Th e refo re it comes as a bit o f a shock to learn that I was witness to an “ endless o rg y o f beer, beer and m ore beer interspersed w ith the occasional jo in t” (G eorge Springate-Sunday Ex
press). Th e re is no dou b t that the vast m a jo rity o f Q ueen’ s fans were well beyond any level o f sobriety. Th e re is also no doubt that m a n y M c G ill students were well on their w a y to jo in ing them. W h a t is not so obvious, at least to me is the reasoning behind the press’ overeaction. Th e re was a lot o f mindless damage done. Repairs must be undertaken o n ( the stadium tu rf, the m en’ s w ashroom and on the east goalpost. A Q ue e n ’ s student fractured his skull in a fall. N on e o f this is excusable. Y e t the vast m a jo rity o f students w ho were there were o n ly witnesses to the destruction. It was a beautiful day for football, and most people had a good, but not destructive time. T i m B urke o f the Gazette, w ho is as good a friend o f M c G ill Sports as there is, seems to have caught the spirit o f w hat happened in his colum n in Tu e s d a y’ s (Sept. 25th) paper. H e mentions that M c G ill should have been better prepared to deal w ith 2,000 students fro m Queen’ s w ho had been drinking since seven or eight in the m orning. T h e same thing happened in 1982, and it w ill happen again in 1986. Security was w oefully inadequate. T h e problem is that in order to control such a situa tion w ould have required elaborate security. M c G ill’s athletic department does not place a high p rio rity on securi ty du rin g sporting events on campus. I f they were to do so, there w o u ld be less m o n e y a v a ila b le to th e team s themselves. It ’ s a dilem m a, but one w hich w ill have to be dealt w ith by the next time Q ueen’ s comes to to w n . B urke does suggest separating students
Martlets continued from page 9 stead o f o u rs .” T h is was fu lly ex em plified b y the Stingers’ disappointed frow ns after the final whistle was b lo w n . “ F o r us, it was disappointing — we w eren’t together as a te a m .” M c G ill w ill test themselves once again, as they travel to Q ueen’ s fo r the In vita tio n a l To u rn a m e n t the weekend o f O cto b e r 6th and 7th.
