and the services of a part-time librarian, or “ documentalist,” who is responsible for lending and catalogu ing the documents. While Maclachlan feels that the possibilities of a grant from the University are slim, he remains hopeful that a short-term loan can be arranged. “ A grant would establish a dangerous precedent. Other departments would come to us and say, ‘Look, you funded them when they were frozen.’ It would open us to a deluge of requests.” Any loan from University research funds would have to be approved by the Social Sciences Resarch Commit tee. Committee Chairman Michael Smith refused to comment, saying he hadn’t yet received an application for funding. ‘ ‘This isn’t the sort of thing we normally deal with, but I think we’re a pragmatic committee and we’d look at the application in its own light. The fact that it would be a loan is cer tainly attractive.” However, Maclachlan points out that a loan would only be acceptable if renewed external funding can be found for the future. “ We’d be going out on a limb. If they don’t get the grant (next

P rosp ects for reopening the documentation library at the Centre for Developing Area Studies are good, according to Dean of Graduate Studies, Gordon Maclachlan. Dean Maclachlan, who is also Vice Principal for Research, said in an inter view that interim funding for the Cen tre’s library, which closed after exter nal funding was cut off last July, could probably be found to make the resources available for the remainder of the academic year. The Documentation Center is a repository for over 80,000 academic journals, reports and official publica tions. The Centre maintains contact with over 270 other institutions in the Third World, Europe and even North America. In the past, the library has been funded by a grant from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Recently, CIDA imposed a one-year moratorium on all grants. CIDA will be reviewing the Centre’s new grant application, but no money will be available until next Spring. The CIDA grant was devoted primarily to paying for subscriptions

It seems only fitting that in the year of the Women’s Centennial at McGill University, Carole Christensen, Pro fessor in the School of Social Work, has been recognized as an outstanding individual to be honoured in this year’s publication of The World W ho’s Who o f Women. Dr. Christensen received her B.A. sociology/psychology from Howard University. As one who excelled in all aspects of university life, she was awarded the Fulbright Fellowship in 1960 at the University of Copenhagen. She then attended the University of Michigan where she received the degree of Master of Social Work. In recogni tion of her academic standing in the top five percent of her class, she was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi na tional graduate honours society. Upon graduation, Dr. Christensen returned to Copenhagen where she served as a mental health counsellor at the Danish Women’s League Counsell ing Services and, as a supervisor at a Child Guidance Clinic, she was invited to initiate family counselling courses at the Danish School of Social Work. However, she was determined to receive her doctorate and proceeded to do so while continuing to lecture and raise a family. In addition to being awarded a Canada Council Fellowship, Carole received the Biennial Award from the Canadian Guidance and Counselling Association for the sub mission of the most outstanding doc toral dissertation.

Julian Marias Interprets Men And Women by George Nikides “ Men and women are distinct forms of life. Men and women interpret the world differently and have different ways of reasoning. However, man’s in terpretation of the world and form of reasoning have been dominant throughout history, with the result that women have had to live and think ac cording to the male model. But things are changing quickly, and women are no longer giving up their particular form of reasoning. Both forms of reasoning are necessary for the ad vancement of society.” This was one of the themes touched on by Juliân Mariâs, one of the great thinkers of twentieth-century Spain, when he gave the Maxwell Cummings Lecture on Wednesday, October 3. The lecture was entitled “ Men and Women as Forms of Life” , a topic especially relevant to McGill during its celebra tion of the Woman’s Centennial. Juliân Mariâs is a renowned philosopher, essayist and critic. He is also a disciple of the greatest Spanish philosopher ever, José Ortega y Gasset. Mariâ is a member of the Royal Spanish Academy and has taught at the University of Madrid as well as at Harvard, Berkeley and Yale. He writes “ continuously” and has published literally hundreds of books and articles, including a A History o f P hilosophy (1941) — which has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide —

M iguel d e Unamuno (1943) and M etaphysical A nthropology (1970). Mariâs was at McGill during the week of October 1-5. Besides giving the Maxwell Cummings Lecture, Mari/as also gave separate lectures on nine teenth century Spanish literature, Spanish philosophy and another called “ What is an illusion?” . On Tuesday October 3 various McGill professors and Mariâs specialists from other universities conducted a symposium on “ The Thought of Juliân Mariâs” . Mari /as has spent much of his career explicating and developing many of the ideas that were introduced by his master Ortega y Gasset. The Maxwell Cummings Lecture began with a sum mary of some of his and Ortega y Gasset’s basic theories. Man is cor poreal, but most of his world exists in his imagination. Man interprets reality through his imagination; his imagina tion helps him make sense of all the things that are unknown to him, such as th future or the thoughts in someone else’s head. There are certain factors, Mariâs continued, that affect one’s interpreta tion of reality, and one of these is one’s sex. Men and women interpret the world differently; there is a “ different form of reasoning for women and men” . Throughout history man’s form of reasoning, his way of seeing the world, has been dominant. Both forms of reasoning, male and female are

Club Notes by Ginny Barton and Daron Westman As the two new Club Reps to Students’ Council, we would like to continue the tradition of a regular col umn informing students of items of in terest to clubs. There have been two Students’ Society meetings so far this semester, although the first was declared un constitutional (and became committeeof-the-whole) because councillors had been given insufficient notice of the meeting. The only major business af-> fecting clubs was a resolution adopted by the Executive Committee on July 19, 1984, which prevented the Women’s Union from holding a dance for women only using Student Society facilities or money from the Women’s Union budget, and from using the name of the Women’s Union or McGill Students’ Society if such a dance were held off-campus. A representative of the Women’s Union Co-ordinating Committee, Nan cy Kingsbury, spoke against this resolution at the first meeting but since the meeting lacked constitutional authority, nothing could be decided. The issue was raised again at the se cond meeting, but was deferred until a later date. A part of the Executive Committee resolution which affects all clubs gives mandate to the President of Students’ Society “ to formulate a Students’ Society policy preventing discrimina tion on the basis of race, creed, colour,

religion, sexual orientation or sex, by the Students’ Society or any of its recognized groups.” As suggested by the Women’s Union, President Permaul has agreed to formulate this policy in consultation with interested clubs. Groups should therefore direct their comments or suggestions to the President’s attention.The next meeting of Students’ Coun cil is scheduled for Thursday, October 11, at 6:30. Since budgeting will be discussed at this meeting, members of clubs and other students are encourag ed to attend. Any questions pertaining to the budget may be addressed to Scott Keating, V.P. Finance and the third Club Rep. Finally, as proposed last semester, this year there will be a Clubs Newslet ter to provide the clubs with a forum to advertise their activities and discuss their problems. The first issue will be prepared soon, so clubs interested in submitting material to the newsletter, or just discussing their problems with us, are invited to contact us by leaving a message in our mailboxes at the Students’ Society desk.

necessary for the advancement of society. Mariâs concluded by suggesting ways in which both forms of reasoning could complement rather than dominate one another. Friendship bet ween a man and a woman, although difficult, is a way in which both forms of reasoning are brought together, “ The perfection of the human species cannot be achieved without men and women as friends.” Love is much more intense than friendship. “ Lovers in vade each other.” Love is not a feeling, but rather an experience that transforms two people, changing their interpretation of reality. “ But I fear that this meaning of the word love is being lost in our culture.” Mariâs also had a very interesting discussion with students in the Spanish lounge on Monday, October 1st. Alter nating between Spanish, French, English and German, he talked about education in general, his years as a university student and the dutj&of the

intellectual. “ In the 1930s, when I was at university in Spain, we studied a subject because we were interested in it , not because we though it would make us rich. This is the biggest difference I see between students of today and students back then, both in Spain and in North America.” He also criticized modern academies and intellectuals for their infatuation with specialization, and urged students to be interested in all sources and types of knowledge. When a student asked him about growth of modern technology and the possible effect it might have on the in tellectual, Mariâs said that he did not fear technology at all, but rather welcomed it because it freed man from menial tasks that take little in telligence. But he added that he is wor ried that ’’man is not taking advantage of the free time computers and other machines offer. He is not using this free time to sit back and simply think. Thinking is the task of the intellectual and, frankly, I don’t see much of it go ing on today.

Cadillac Fairview continued from page 1 some speakers who supported the aerial walkway argued that the walkways wouldn’t compete for pedestrians with the ground or subway level passages. The “ Tribune” tried to reach Cadillac Fairview officials for com ment if the company would abide by the committee’s conclusions but they remained tight-lipped about the affair and refused to confirm their president’s comment until the final recommendation is issued on the week of September 24th. However, contact was made with a member of the com mittee who was willing to indicate its present position. David Powell, an ex ecutive at Martineau Walker, and a member of La Chambre de Commerce, explained that since the committee was purely a fact-finding mission, its recommendations were not binding on Cadillac Fairview. He stressed very carefully that the task force’s mandate was to establish a process whereby maximum public involvement was ob tained at the shortest time possible. The committee had also hired several consultants, consulted with some ar chitects and urban planners in the course of its study. He made it clear, however, that the main objective was to ensure that McGill College Ave. does become a boulevard as promised in the past and not so much with the possible draining of commercial activi ty on St. Catherine St. and its environs.

When asked if James Bullock would follow the committee’s guidelines as he stated he would, Powell indicated that the committee’s decision will be unanimous and that since Bullock is a member of the committee, he will pro bably abide by the Committee’s fin dings and conclusions. On 26th September, the task force presented it final recommendations. The McGill College Urban Design Committee recommended the enlarge ment of McGill College Ave to 27.5 meters — half a size wider than its pre sent width, no aerial walkways in the area and a public square with trees, fountains and statues would be con structed between St. Catherine and Cathcart streets. Cadillac Fairview Co. Ltd. has agreed to accept all the pro posed changes and new plans will be drawn up to be presented to city coun cil’s next meeting on 22nd October Construction is to begin by spring 1985 with projected completion by late 1986. There you are folks, the long sumn er ‘saga’ of the shopping plaza ext avaganza has been presented as brief1 as possible (no kidding!) and if at ds stage it seems tht the future trend •f urban development in Montréal is oing to be governed by such factnding missions and public consultai.ons, then its time has come none too soon. It’s about time we caught up with the other major cities on this con tinent on such a significant phase of ur ban policy-making.

CHRISTMAS CHARTERS S P

TUToHiA

by Ravi Durvasula Having finally sorted out our problems with course selection and timetable scheduling, we are confronted by the onset of the midterm period. After three years at this university, I am still left with serious doubts about the midterm phenomenon. Why, for example, are midterms never confined to the middle o f the term? This question popped into my head one year when the professor announced that the midterm for the course was during the first week of December. This was the last o f a series o f tests which began in October. The logic of this con founded me. Finals are restricted to one time period; midterms, however, run on indefinitely. This may seem like a question o f semantics but its relevance becomes apparent when one’s midterms end the week before finals start. On certain occasions, I have been led to doubt the very need for the midterm itself. One year, the professor told the class what the mark distribution would be like for a test which was still two days away. ‘The lowest nondisastrous mark’ (a term which raised a few eyebrows) would receive a ‘D’ . From there on, the percentages would be as follows ‘A’ and ‘A-’ , 10%, ‘B + ’ , 20% , ‘B ’, 30% , etc. The distribution, he explained, would be normal. This was exactly the mark profile that was posted one week later. I was in awe of the man’s psychic powers. Jeanne Dixon, I thought, could eat her heart out. But when I discovered that 80% o f the class had failed the midterm and that the mark distribution was totally artificial, I realized the futility of the entire process. What is the purpose, I thought, of giving a test which everyone will fail and then concocting an unrelated set of marks? Many professors schedule midterms to be held during the fifty minute class period. This is done with the intention that they will set a test which requires at least two hours to complete. A biology lab test, for example, may require that a student pick up a test tube, walk to a lab bench and create life. A philosophy midterm question may be as follows: ‘Using clear and concise arguments, for mulate a theory which will explain everything. Comment on all possible im plications o f an incorrect theory.’ Professors of course, will argue that they went through the test and completed it with time to spare. It is reassuring to be told that someone with a PHD and years of research experience who wrote the exam was able to fly through it and, therefore, you should have no trouble do ing the same. Another direct consequence of midterm scheduling is that it sucessfully ruins everyone’s Thanksgiving weekend, regardless o f faculty or year in one’s degree program. In fact it often results in most students giving thanks for hav ing an extra day to study and most professors giving thanks for being able to relax while thinking of the students’ strife.

Office, was quoted as saying ‘there may be a time in the future when we simply won’t allow course changes, as is presently the case at Concordia and elsewhere.’ I must bring attention to the fact that Ms. Lucas falsely assumed that course change at Concordia does not exist. Like McGill we do have tremen dous problems with line-ups, com puters and inadequate student advising and hence the system is far from perfect, but at least we d o allow our students a course change period (this year from Sept 5 — 12). Perhaps Ms Lucas was confused with our Commerce Faculty who don’t allow their students section changes within the same course. I hope that you will point this out to your readers. D eborah K onig

On The Prowl How To Pick Up Girls by Leif Montin The introduction When you are introduced to a very pretty girl, she will make the customary statement “ I’m sorry, but I didn’t get your name...” Burp it to her. And be sure to grab her hand and shake it right off while doing your best cowboy im itation as follows. “ Sure is nice to meet cha. Real nice. Gosh yur pretty. You an me y’know, I betcha we get married some day.” She will have noticed your filthy grimy fingernails since you raked her inner arm when she yanked her hand away. Then comes “ What are you study ing?” Give it to her in the Queen’s accent “ English Literature, Madam.” The last will shatter her ego into little bits, just the way you like it. Of course it is your obligation as a true gentleman to put it back together, but at your leisure, and with subtle alterations. At Parties approach the small group of attractive females with the overbearance you have been cultivating since puberty. (The group must be no larger than four, otherwise the eye con ta c t which tra n sfo rm s your boorishness into charm, will be hurried and ineffective.) At a small distance from them, and facing the most attracive of them, give a little leap, land with a clump — fanning your arms apart with a little bow — and announce “ I’m here” . Give each of the young women a cheerful smile allowing them a few seconds of eye-time, perhaps a wink, saving your chosen for last. Drop your semi-sincere smile for a serious stare and utter the magic words: “ Hi there” . A quick raise of the eyebrows followed by a chuckle which only you and she understand once again turns you into the smiling care-free little boy that you are while relieving the knife-edge sexual tension. Now at this point they may be casting “ who is this jerk” glances at one another. Before they have the chance to ask you, back off a con scious step and walk around them towards the dance floor, or preferably

continued from page 1 April) we’d never see that money again.” Warwick Armstrong, the director of the C entre and P ro fesso r of Geography, remains confident that new CIDA money will be granted. “ I think we’ve put in a strong case. We’ve greatly improved facilities, and I think it shows in the present level of dissatisfaction and unhappiness among the students.” Helen Patterson and Lynn Pajot, both undergraduate econom ics students, are concerned about the closure of the library. They’ve cir culated a petition in protest and have collected over 500 names. “ It’s a terrible waste of resources,” Pajot said. “ Any amount of funding would be worthwhile. The documenta tion centre really offers people a lot. It’s just unfortunate more people aren’t aware of it.”

the bar area. Without a backward glance, because it’s ugly back there. Which is why she will follow you. “ Silence is golden; noise is the sound of people talking.” With this in mind, keep your nasal whines to a minimum and usher your desirée onto the dance floor at your earliest possible conve nience. This is sure to eliminate much awkward conversation. Which is pro bably along the lines of “ my friends think you’re an ass” . Should she at tempt to speak to you even under such adverse conditions, a single finger rais ed to your lips then pressed gently to hers will convey your intentions of romantic silence. For sure. It is permissable to point to your desires: ‘Good music’ is indicated by a casual thumbs-up, ‘drink’ by a casual gesture in the direction of the bar. ‘Your body’ is a casual nod to the d o o r. ‘Your b o y frie n d ’ is demonstrated by a quick leap out the window. If you notice your chosen’s attention wandering to the greener pastures over your shoulder — and this is not as it should be, you have your precious little time on planet earth and must soon return to sex-god heaven — there are two solutions: Several drinks to limit her depth of field, or be bom lucky, with a wide face. “ Go ugly, go early” is a rule of thumb employed by many Maritimers and it translates roughly as follows: If you’re going to end up leaving with a less than perfect woman, then find her early in the evening and have some fun. Don’t wait until the last minute when the lights are coming up to make your advances. She may have already been snatched up by someone faster. Worse, she may have been recalled. Even if you don’t succeed the first time, be content with the thought that you were only joking anyway. Besides, you know when you’re licked — and you certainly weren’t. from “ How to Turn On Girls” by me, the author.

Next week: An Interview with Brooke Shields Armstrong is not optimistic about the possibilities for reopening if new funding isn’t obtained. “ Without our documentalist, we’re concerned the place might degenerate into total disorder.” He also concedes that open ing the library on a volunteer basis might compromise the Centre’s re quests for paid library staff. “ Locking it up is the only way to get it open again,” says Patterson. “ And I don’t know that a half-way job would be a good idea.” Maclachlan also suggests that some of the Centre’s resources could be transferred temporarily to McLennan library. However, Armstrong remains reluctant. “ Once you break up the col lection, you’ve lost a lot of its value. There is a richness and diversity of documents that would be lost if large chunks were taken away.” Decisions on interim funding will probably be taken in the next month. In the meantime, Armstrong says, the library will remain closed.

Forget about “ B i t Brother,” the “ Sisters” are coming!. That’s right, this Saturday October 13th at 8:00pm marks the debut at McGill of recording artists the Beverly Sisters and famed Montreal rockers the Seven Sisters. Let’s get a few things straight about both bands. The Beverly Sisters are not a reunion o f the British female singing group that was popular after the Se cond World War. They’re not even sisters. In fact, they’re an all-Canadian male group from Vancouver. The Beverly Sisters, hot from recent ap pearances on CBC’s Fame Game, pil ing up numerous west coast awards and attracting a major record label deal, seem well primed for their first ever Montreal appearance. Similarly, Montreal’s own Seven Sisters aren’t sisters either. Although there is one female in the band, the rest

aren’t even brothers. It gets even more confusing because there aren’t even seven members in the band, only six. The Seven Sisters made headlines this summer playing to packed houses in every conceivable Montreal club with excellent reviews each time. T h e Gazette’s John Griffin feels that the Seven Sisters “ are creating about the most commercial ’80s pop music in the city and they’re doing it with a lot of style and a lot more originality than a host o f British groups that have already landed recording contracts and international tours.” The music of the Seven Sisters has been compared to such super groups as Talking Heads and the Thompson Twins, who by the way aren’t twins. What’s going on here? The explosive combination o f the Beverly Sisters and the Seven Sisters should provide McGill with an exciting night of entertainment... don’t miss it!

I think that until a few years ago the orchestra did not have universal accep tance in Montreal as something “ of Montreal” . It was really an organiza tion for the few people who went to concerts at Place des Arts. I think one of the things Charles Dutoit has done,and you could say that I helped him do because I completely agree with his approach to it, is not only to per form concerts at Place des Arts, but also to perform in the Forum and in parks around the city. In the past when we would play only in Place des Arts, wë would get good reviews, but people would say: “ Yeah, but that’s only for a few people in Westmount and Outremont.” When I came in as Managing Director I was asked: “ What are you going to do differently for this or chestra?” I said I hope I will make this an orchestra of the city — so that one cannot conceive of Montreal without the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. That’s why we’ve done some big things: concerts not just for 2,000 peo ple, but for 15,000 or 20,000. Now we go to Montreal North and we play music and we find 50,000 people in the park. A re there other reasons f o r your suc cess?

Well, our tour had good reviews, our records have won prizes. When we make records and they win prizes, they create a certain amount o f civic pride. And, I must tell you, it goes beyond civic pride; I get calls from people all across the country asking about the or

chestra. It’s like the way Canada’s hockey team gains support through na tional pride. A few years ago it was said that the M SO was in financial trouble. What is its present financial situation?

Because we have propagated our message throughout Montreal more money is coming in than we had four or five years ago. However we’re spen ding more money as well. But we are gradually eating away at our deficit, a deficit which has accumulated at $600,000. We made a small profit last year and we made another profit this year, but we’ve got to work for another five or six years before the deficit disappears. One of the problems that I see in our eventual evolution into a much stronger financial concern is a re juvenation o f our audience. Where are the young people? We need to create enthusiasm for the orchestra among young people. Has the quality o f the orchestra itself improved?

O f course it’s improved. It’s improved because we’ve had the stability of one Music Director for the last six years. He’s a very hard worker and he knows exactly what he wants. Among the musicians themselves, as a mass, there seems to be a certain jo ie de vivre in playing together. And they’re very pro ud of their accomplishments. What role has Charles Dutoit had in the success o f the orchestra?

One cannot say enough about what he has done for the city and the orchestra. He’s endeared himself to the public. He’s a terrific personality, a great

musician and a great conductor. The orchestra is one hundred people, but he is the public face that the people iden tify with. He has an enormous number of ideas, musical ideas and promo tional ideas. And once he gets an idea he doesn’t let go o f it very easily — he makes sure it comes about. The M SO won three Grand Prix du Disque last year f o r its records, a feat no other orchestra has ever ac complished. Could you tell m e about your recording contract?

We’re the only orchestra that has an exclusive recording contract, that is, we have a contract with only one com pany, Decca London. We make four records a year. I like the idea of being with one company because then the com pany has our development worldwide in its hands. When we went to Europe on tour, they did an enor mous amount o f promotion for our or chestra. If we were recording with two or three different labels, who would have been responsible? It also happens to be the top recording company in the world. Is their a strong connection between McGill and the M SO ?

Oh, hell, yes. Our first bassoon is the conductor o f the McGill Orchestra. A number o f our musicians are graduates o f the McGill Conservatory, and a lot o f them teach at McGill. And this is going to continue.

What is the M SO planning f o r this season? Is there anything o f special in terest to McGill students?

One thing that we are doing this year which should be of interest to the stu-

Scents Of B etrayal by Oppressed Hedonists

Kojax, 1389 Ste.-Catherine West Columbo cringed as the street door crashed shut behind him. Damn door, Damn morning, Damn murder... why the hell couldn’t people kill at a decent hour? He grabbed the handrail and began hauling himself up the stairs. With every step his stomach lurched up his throat. He swore again. Why’d he have to bring home that dumb blonde — he was too drunk to enjoy himself anyway. And then she went and drop ped the last Alka Seltzer into the glass holding his fake eye. That itched like hell at least it wasn’t threatening to erupt like his gut. He stumbled on the next step and stared in disbelief at the remaining twenty. Right now, he’d rather be the corpse. He finally reached the landing and gasped for breath. He shoved his way through the motley pack o f tenants and emerged at the foot of the second flight of stairs. His stomach heaved again at the sight o f the body and he groped hastily for a cigar in his overcoat. Pull ing one out he grimaced at the long blonde hairs wrapped around it. Damn blonde — wasn’t it enough she left hair all over the tub. An apple-cheeked officer rushed

over to fill him in on the gory details. Cause o f death: brochette skewer thrust through the base o f the skull in to the brain. Victim: male tenant, early forties, known to other tenants as loud and talkative, employed by Arahova, Greek restaurant. Unusual cir cumstances: spilled container of sauce, labelled Kojax Mild, and chunks of raw meat found near the body. With one eye on the bathroom o f the nearest apartment, he scuffed toward the old woman standing in the open doorway. “ Uh, ma’am, if you’ll step inside... I’d like to ask you some questions.” “ C e rta in ly o f f ic e r . Im agin e something like this happening right here in this building.” She bustled ahead o f him, scooping up the crocheted cushions before he’d have a chance to squash them. “ It’s just terri ble. A murder on my doorstep. Now where would you like to begin?” “ Coffee, ma’am.” “ Coffee? Oh dear, I don’t have anything like that. My doctor put me on a strict milk and egg diet years ago. Here, I’ll get you a nice big glass of milk.” Columbo eyed the glass o f milk in front of him. He picked it up, changed his mind, and left it for the cat climb ing up his pant leg. “ Well now, let’s

F O R G E T dent population is that we are having an awful lot o f young soloists coming to perform with the orchestra, people in their twenties, people who are mak ing worldwide careers, some coming here for the first time. The people about whom, in two or three years time, everyone’s going to say: “ Why didn’t you bring this person earlier?’’ We’re having people like Brigitte Engerer, a young pianist from France. An extraordinary pianist. Also people like Yuzuko Horigome, the young violinist, and Anne-Sophie Mutter, a violinist who was discovered by Von Karajan. We’ve also got some wellknown artists, some older artists like Heinz Holliger, the world-famous oboeist and Neville Marriner and Maureen Forrester. And don’t forget that students pay half the regular price.

A re you going on tour this year?

We’re going on a tour o f the Far East — Japan and Hong Kong. We’re try ing to sort of complete the world tour concept. We’re also going to New York for two concerts at the end o f October. I’m sure some of your readers have seen the movie Carmen. In January Antonio Gades, the Spanish flamenco dancer, will be coming and together we’ll be producing Carmen on stage. It’s going to be an absolutely extraor dinary event for Montreal. Then next summer we’ll go back to the parks and probably also do something in the Forum.

see,,," ne scratched his head, “ It’s clear that this Arahova guy stole the stuff from Kojax. They reported several jugs of mild sauce and some meat missing after a break-in last night. Arahova probably wants to know the secret of their seasonings. So this guy probably came straight home but someone got him on the stairs and made o ff with the haul... Did you hear anything unusual last night, ma’am?” “ Not a thing, officer. I slept like a baby all night.” He looked dubious at that. “ Did you know the victim, ma’am?” < “ Oh, heavens, no. I wouldn’t talk to that type o f man.” “ I guess that about covers it then, ma’am ...” He pulled himself out of the chair and stepped around her, heading for the door. He turned with his hand on the doorknob, “ U h... just one more thing... If you only eat milk and eggs, why do you smell o f garlic?” She stared at him. “ Oh dear,” she crumpled into a chair and wrung her hands. “ I couldn’t help myself.

enteR tcrî o r a e o t Screen Test

by J . Armstrong Bonsfield Director Norman Jewison has com bined with playwright Charles Fuller to bring the latter’s Pulitzer prize-winning play, A Soldiers’s Story to the screen. The film stars Howard E. Rollins Jr. as Captain Davenport, a black U.S. Ar my detective investigating a murder at a black army base in Louisiana near the end of World War II. His investiga tion uncovers more than just the facts o f the murder: it brings to light the psychological trauma that American blacks faced as a result o f segregation. Fuller’s story is the strength of this movie. The mystery is riveting; what appears at first to be the work of the Ku Klux Klan turns out to be something far less easily explained. Yet Fuller has also managed to season the plot with humour and social commen tary. The scenes of Captain Daven port’s arrival and those showing the reactions of both blacks and whites when they discover that the detective sent to investigate the murder are both hilarious and poignant. (White drill sergeant: “ Aw right boy!...Knock it off! Ain’t yew ever seen a coloured ar my officer before?! Black private: “ No! Suh!...Have you suh?” ) Both Jewison and Fuller deserve credit for changing the play into a film. They have avoided the temptation to dilute the dialogue and the story to “ appeal” to a movie audience (and we should be grateful). Moreover, the almost entirely black cast have acted, without exception, superbly. Adolph Caesar is at once frightening and pitiful as the tormented and monstrous “ Uncle Tom nigger” , Sgt. Waters, whose murder is the mystery. Larry Riley is also a stan dout as the gifted and popular “ downhome nigger” , Pt. C .J. Memphis, whom Waters destroys. Finally A Soldier’s Story seems to

have just the right musical flavour. Herbie Hancock’s score (No, “ RockIt” is not on the soundtrack) and Patti Labelle, as club singer Big Mary, are both great. Perhaps the best reason why you should see A Soldier’s Story is because it deals with race relations in America during segregation. If the experience of American blacks is something you don’t really comprehend, A Soldier’s Story should not be missed.

which he will face. The benefits receiv ed fro m the emotional levels o f acting are derived fro m the individual’s love o f acting. O ne’s love o f acting must outweigh the emotional letdowns fo r one to achieve satisfaction. Intellectual b ra v ery is also an im p o rta n t characteristic o f actors. Ms. Reid did not clarify this point, although she did m ention the n e e d to resea rch characters who are historically impor tant. She said that she had done research in order to play Mary Todd Lincoln. Physical bravery is the third level. She told a story o f an actor she had played with who cut open his hand during a performance, and had gone on with the show in spite o f his pain. Ms. R eid’s first reading was a modern monologue fro m Dorothy Parker, and she portrayed an adoles cent girl waiting f o r her boyfriend to phone. The second reading was fro m a Renaissance play, and she portrayed a woman pleading her love to a man. Both readings were emotionally charg ed to the point where she seem ed to forget the audience which filled the lec ture hall. Ms. Reid said that her first

On Monday, October 1, actress Kate Reid gave a short talk at McGill in which she described some of her favourite aspects of theatre and two of her favourite pieces. Ms. Reid began her study of the performing arts at the Toronto Conservatory of Music at age fifteen. She spent a number of years acting in television and in movies, and has earned critical acclaim in England, Canada, and the United States. She had her debut on Broadway twenty years ago as Martha in Who’s A fraid o f Virginia Woolf. Ms. Reid is popularly known for her roles in the movie Atlantic City, and as the character Aunt Lil in the television series Dallas. Ms. Reid discussed the pros and cons o f acting. She pointed out the “ bravery o f actors” , describing three levels o f bravery. The first level is emotional or as she put it, “ You have to fin d your own security.” A prospective actor must often fo rego family life, mar riage, and other social norms, in order to persevere through the hard times

step in interpreting a text is to read her lines aloud, concentrating on the in teractions between the other players. In this way, she is able to discern where her character fits into the scheme. She stressed that a prospective actor should take every role offered to him, and then should “ check out how much money h e ’s getting” . The next Consolidated-Bathurst Lecture will be South African novelist Nadine Gordimer, who will present a reading with a commentary after wards. The Consolidated-Bathurst Lecture Series is a series o f special lectures which is organized by the McGill department o f English under the of fices o f Consolidated-Bathurst Incor porated, a forest products and packag ing company. Lectures take place on Monday nights in Leacock 132, and admission is free. The series, which is in its fifth year, features speakers who are prominent in a particular field o f the arts.

Miller con nected from 30 yards out to give McGill a 3-0 advantage. Miller upped the count to 6-0 following a fumble recovery, the second o f four first quarter takeaways the Red and White defense chalked up. McGill pushed their lead to 13-0 midway through the second quarter when fullback Mike Sanham blsted his way over from eight yards out. Sanham playing before the home folks from Ontario relished the opportunity to carry the ball and averaged 6 yards a. pop on 6 carries — in addition to con tributing his usual blocking.

Ignited by a spectacular dual perfor mance by star slot-back/placekicker Glenn Miller and an all-star supporting cast featuring an outstanding offensive line spearheaded by all-star Steve Gedney along a with hard-hitting defense sparked by Captain Cliff Wilson, the McGill Redmen captured sole possession of a second place in the O .Q .I.F.C . Saturday afternoon at Molson Stadium. Miller’s heroics in the starring roles as both placekicker and clutch receiver paced the win. The third year veteran clicked on six consecutive field goals and gathered in eight Jaimie Crawford aerials for 84 yards, many of them key grabs that moved the Redmen into range for his formidable foot as he was named the game’s offensive star.

m arvellous Perry K oziris. Glen McDonald enjoyed his finest hour in uniform to establish a superiority where it was needed most; along the trenches against a tough Raven crew that finally began to yield. Joe Csense and Louis Oliviera relish ed the opportunity to clear the way for teammate Oliveri as the Jr. Concordes ensemble pushed the Ravens back. Oliveri had a glittering 84 yards on 20 carries many o f which saw him carry ing tacklers on his back as he played with an intensity that was inspiring. With the Red and White offense tak ing command under Crawford’ s leadership and with the help o f punter Bruno Pietrobon who faked out the en tire Raven line on a quick-thinking third down run, McGill added two more Miller three-pointers the last of which established a new O .Q .I.F.C . record of 6 as McGill rung it up to 25-7. With the gaipe in hand McGill pulled o ff their second trick-play o f the ball game as Frank Oliveri took the pitchout from Crawford and put on the brakes and threw back cross-grain to Crawford in the flat and the big quarterback rambled down to the 6 yard line completing a 25 yard play to set up Oliveri’s 6 yard TD blast. A fit ting end to a fine afternoon’s work for the workhorse back who had pulled the same trickery earlier in the game.

Carleton responded with a 75 yard TD drive as Cam Collins found Jim Bailey with a 25 yard pass and run scoring strike to narrow it to 13-7. McGill countered with another wellexecuted march as Jaimie Crawford mixed his plays utilizing the talents of Jr. Concrodes transfer Frank Oliveri and the sure hands o f Miller to set up another Miller field goal to send the Redmen into the room with a 16-7 lead. The Ravens came out snarling in the second half as Cam Collins’ ball handling and the inside running o f Jim Clost had the Ravens knocking on the door with a third and inches at the Redmen two. Linebacker Cliff Wilson came up with the defensive play o f the game stopping hard running Dave Haiden cold for no gain and the Redmen took over on downs. Two series later Crawford who displayed customary poise throughout led the Redmen out of trouble. Follow ing some tough running by Sanham and Oliveri, Crawford found TE Druckman with a laser-beam between two defenders as Myles made another of his Miracle grabs shedding the two tacklers and ambling down to the Carleton 40 yard line. Miller Time! “ Mr. Reliable” had no trouble split ting the uprights from 44 yards away to push McGill out to a 19-7 lead. The Ravens sagged at the turn o f events and the Redmen won it walking away. Crawford took his time working behind an awesome front wall led by all-star center Steve Gedney who had another gem in a string o f pearls he has put together for the Redmen as did the

From U nder The Bleachers by F ra n k Y o u n g

I try to live as wholesome a life as possible. There is only one thing that my willpower can not stand up to. That is vice. In particular, the vice o f gambl ing. I bet on almost anything: baseball, the Academy Awards, elections and I have been known to wager on the out come of a game o f knob hockey. When it comes to football though, I am com pulsive. I do not bet on the C .F .L . (I mean, why bother?). I do not bet on college football. I bet on the N .F.L. since one fine fall day in 1972 when some 9 year old loud mouth told me that he thought the Steelers were the best team in football. As a Cleveland Browns fan, and therefore a born enemy of Steelers fans, I felt a need to speak up. We bet a dollar, which was big money for nine year old, and that Sunday the Steelers won by 24 points. Since that painful experience many years ago, hardly a weekend has gone by without my staking part of my dowry on the outcome o f a few games. Some times I win, and sometimes the games are fixed. Betting on football

has become part of my weekly routine. It is as much a part o f my life as swear ing o ff Gert’s every Saturday morning. In short; I am incurable. This is not to suggest that I bet huge amounts every week. I cannot afford to. Yet I find that a little bit o f money on the line helps to make Sundays interesting. The fact that hundreds o f millions of dollars are bet each week shows that I am not alone in my addiction. Gambl ing on football is so widespread that most newspapers carry the “ spreads” every week. A spread is a way o f mak ing betting more interesting. It also helps out the bookies. What a point spread is intended to do is separate the betting on a given game so that each team gets fifty percent of the bets. This leaves the bookies free to collect the 10% ‘juice’ without having to absorb major losses. If too much money is be ing bet on one team, then the bookmakers in Nevada will add a few points to that team’s spread, thereby making it more enticing to bet on the other team. Sounds simple doesn’t it? It seems as if it would be easy to get at least 50%

o f your picks right. The best way to test this theory is to enter a pool where a number o f people make picks on every game, and at the end o f the year the person with the most takes all of the money that has been entered. I am currently participating in such a pool. Last week I picked six games right out o f fourteen. The week before, it was three. What makes this fact more an noying is that my roomates are clean ing up. This introduces another problem: the luck of others. I know that my roomates know less about football than I do. I swear I do. Really. Oh. well, the experienced gambler knows that every bet that he or she makes is the right one. There is simply no ac counting for luck. There are many ideas about the best way to bet on football games. Books full of these theories are easily found. It would take too much space to list these ideas. Fortunately, there is suffi cient room for me to give some o f my pet theories. l)Never e v e r bet on the Cowboys. The spreads usually work1 against them since they are such a popular team. Also how can you cheer

against them if you have money riding on them? 2)Never bet too heavily on your favourite team. This is a hard lesson, and it is one that this Cleveland Browns fan still has not learned. 3) Don’t bet on a team that won by more than 25 points the previous week. 4) Never bet with someone who claims to know nothing about football. I once lost money to my grandmother. 5)Bet against New York teams if they are favoured. 6)Do not give up more that 7 points when your team is on the road. 7) Bet on teams named after birds when they play teams named after animals. 8) Don’t bet on teams that have pastel colours in their uniforms. 9)Always bet with guys named Owen. 10)Disregard all that I have said. Anyway, these are the teams that I picked last weekend (my deadline is Thursday). Tampa, Chicago, the Jets, St. Louis, Buffalo, Denver, Miami, Cleveland (obviously), Washington, San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, the Raiders, and San Francisco. If the games aren’t fixed, than I should get at least nine right. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Hockey Redmen Prepare For Season by S tu art A k er

The McGill Redmen, the world’s first official hockey team, began its onice training for the 1984-85 season on September 22nd. The Redmen’s 103rd season begins on October 14th with a non-conference game at Queen’s. Last season, the Redmen posted an overall .500 record, including several exhibition tournaments and one series played in Switzerland. The team placed second in the Q.U.A.A. with a record o f 9 wins, 10 losses and 5 ties. Coach Ken Tyler hopes to improve on the team’s placing of last year. Tyler, who has helped to restore vitalilHlllllMlUllHHl||iUlH|||||||ll|iuiilll||||ilinillllll>llllllllllllllllll

ty to McGill’s hockey program, has also succeeded in increasing the team’s victory totals in each of his five years with the club. Cross-town rival Concordia is ex pected to be the top competition in the league, although Tyler says that “ every team in the conference has improved” . Along with its twenty regular season . games, the Redmen will be competing in several exhibition tournaments throughout the winter, the team will take part in the “ Big Four Tourney” at Queen’s, “ The Key Bank Tourney” at Lake Placid and the “ Micron Tourna ment” at Concordia. The Redmen will l||||||lH ||||||lll|||||||ll|||||||tl|||lU!!l|||||||il|||||||ll|||||illl||||||l

also be playing an elite schedule of non-conference games against several Ivy-League teams, as well as playing against some o f the top teams in Canada. “ We won’t have an easy game this year,” says Tyler, “ we’ll be play ing some of the best teams in North America.” “ The Redmen will be fac ing only the kinds of teams they want to play” added Tyler, “ teams with a long hockey tradition and high academic standards. Teams like us.” On the 9th of October the Redmen will be holding an “ open camp” , and as many as seventy players are expected to participate. Coach Tyler is very pleased with the training camp so far, and he expects to have a “ well balanc ed team, with more depth that usual” . He is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season. A strong nucleus o f last year’s team has returned. The team’s top two scorers, new captain Dave Ducharme

(24 goals and 36 assists) and George Burnett (22 and 37), are back. Ducharme and Burnett are expected to lead the Redmen’s offensive charge. Ducharme was voted the team’s Most Valuable Player and “ Star Player of the Year” for the 83-84 season, while Burnett set the McGill scoring record the year before with an incredible 81 points in 38 games. On defence, hard hitting Jim Chadnik returns to lead the squad. Last year, Chadnik led the Redmen with a plus/minus of plus seven, and he was the team’s highest scoring defenceman with two goals. McGill opens the regular season on October 27th, and the first home game is November 6th against Trois Rivieres. Fan support for the hockey team has been increasing in recent years, and this is presumably due to the Redmen’s steady improvement. M cConnell Winter Stadium has a capacity of 1,650, and several sell-outs are an ticipated this season. A note to the M .U.C. riot police: relax, Queen’s is not in our hockey conference.

soul of the Redmen was beaming with pride after the game when reference was made to the contributions of his former Jr. Concrodes teammates. “ They’re all tough ballplayers,” of fered a smiling Wilson. “ Frankie really showed them something today didn’t he?

McGill Scrums Down For The Weekend by M ichael S arosiak

were the eventual winners o f the tour nament. Congratulations are awarded for the outstanding performances by McGill’s Duncan McLean and Martin Osmond. David Smith and B squad captain Ian Ellison are merited for their efforts and sacrifice due to injury. In the seven’s tournament held the next day, McGill’s showing o f second place to Bishop’s A squad was in part attributed to a fine performance by Marc DeVerteuil.

McGill hosted a rugby tournament involving four universities this past weekend. The McGill squad shone brightly, defeating Mount Allison 30-0 and Concordia 17-0. Without the aid o f seven o f McGill’s finest players, who were chosen to play in the Cana dian Nationals by the Quebec and Alberta provincial teams, McGill was unable to defeat the team from the University o f New Brunswick, who

The support given by rugby presi dent, Andrew (make that a double) Stuart was appreciated and admired by all, despite his paralysed body resulting from self-inflicted wounds attained during the evening prior to the tourna ment in Thompson House.

football clubs in Europe. Last September a second year student, Paul Stern, founded the first Canadian team 'to participate in the UPA circuit. This September, Stern, Dante Anderson, Marcus Brady, Willie Herdon, Chris Lowcock, Je ff Stevenson, Je ff Thomp son, Edgar Wedig and Alex entered the Weltmeistershaften held in Luzern, Switzerland. Fourteen international teams competed in this largest ever W orld U ltim ate Cham pionship. McGill’s team placed seventh. This achievement is outstanding when you consider that the Canadian club was one of the smallest teams entered, with only nine players com pared to the usual twenty. In addition, the tour was organized and funded wholly by the team members. Despite these difficulties, McGill Ultimate is looking forward confident ly to the 1986 world championship to be held in England. Right now they’re preparing for regional playoffs in Massachusetts this October. Team p r a c t i c e s are held M o n d a y s , Wednesdays and Thursdays at 4:30 on the reservoir field above Doctor Penfield Street. If you’re curious about the Ultimate sport show up for a session or call Paul Stern at 286-0691 for more information.

First, what do frisbees, fbotball fields and basketball regulations have in common? Secondly, which McGill sports club recently represented Canada at a world championship, managed to displace the fourth ranked team and finished seventh overall? The Ultimate team. It’s no trick answer, its the Canadian National Ultimate Team, formed last year by nine McGill students. Ultimate is a mixture o f several more familiar sports. Teams o f seven players attempt to advance a frisbee up their opposi tion’s field. The rules are simple: no running with the frisbee and no contact between players. Even at world cham pionship level all fouls are called by the players themselves. A point is scored by completing a pass to a teammate in the opposition’s end zone. Usually games are played to fifteen points, although at tournaments a time limit may be set. Since its invention in 1967 the game has spread across the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Close to a thousand teams compete in the Ultimate Players Association (UPA) and right now there are more European Ultimate teams than American-style ★
