Published by the Students’ Society of McGill University, Montréal, Québec

by Stephen Hum Ed Winn, a New York City transport worker, brought his campaign for the US Presidency to McGill on Thursday October 4th. Winn, the candidate of the US Workers League, was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Young Socialists, a Trotskyist discussion group currently seeking club status from Students’ Society. Winn spoke for 45 minutes to a gathering o f about 25 people, lacing his speech with jibes aimed at Ronald Reagan and Walter . Mondale, the two main presidential contenders. “ Reagan,” Said Winn, “ is the Bonapartist twin o f Margaret That­ cher” . Reagan, like Thatcher in Bri­ tain, and now Brian Mulroney in Canada are indicative o f a political polarization that will drive the working classes of the West into revolutionary action, he claimed. Winn, a former Democrat who declared himself a Trot­ skyist in 1976, assailed Walter Mondale and his part for being “ Rightist” ; their alliance with the AFL-CIO diverts working class Americans from what should be their goal, the building of revolution.

On the issue o f arms control he equated the Democrats with the Republicans: “ Mondale is no less warlike than Reagan...We must get the weapons out of the hands o f the Capitilist class. They (weapons) will be used.” When questioned about his own platform, the candidate replied in generalities; he refused to commit himself to specifics or to dicuss costs.

Instead Winn called for the na­ tionalization o f banks, worker self­ management in industry and a vast public works program reminiscent of the New Deal.

sincere and earnest. But Americans are not likely to be hearing very much from Ed Winn on November 6. The Workers League is on the ballot in only six states, New York, Ohio, Penn­ sylvania, Minnesota, Michigan and Il­ linois. As such, Winn seems predestin­ ed to have all the impact o f a pair of scissors on a rainforest. “ We’re under no illusions. I ’m not out to win.” he said. Though win he won’t, what does Winn want? “ This is not a feeble gesture,” Winn announced. “ Our purpose is to build the base for a true labour party in the United States, a revolutionary leader­ ship.”

In the discussion that followed Winn’s speech, though, both he and Keith Jones, a spokesman for the McGill Young Socialists, avoided deal­ ing with questions on how thenanalysis o f society and the consequent solutions differed from those o f scores o f other isolated Trotskyist parties that have preceded them. Jones was much more enthusiastic when he answered a question on whether his group feared being confused with the CPC(ML), the McGill Friends o f Albania. “ It’s a matter o f decibel and o f substance.

They shout Stalinist slogans, but they offer no solutions” . He was adament that the Workers League Young Socialists not be identified with the an­ tics o f the “ carnival” left.

After the discussion period, a film with exclusive footage o f Lenin, Trot­ sky and Lenin’s boyhood bedroom was shown to the audience. Meanwhile, Ed Winn left the meeting to participate in a demonstration against military research at McGill before resuming his long trudge toward November 6 and points beyond.

D e n tis tr y ?

by Sarah Cook Ms. Judith Blasser is, or was, a Den-, tistry student. She is the first to admit she is not o f a pleasant nature, however, her patients to date have never complained of her abrasiveness.

The following story consists o f the final stages o f her attempt to obtain a D.D .S. degree from the Faculty of Dentistry, a process which from start to finish is soon to appoach a decade.

It is not a pleasant story and it is all the more horrifying when it is realized that it could happen to anyone in any facul­ ty.

On June 7, 1983, the Senate established an Ad Hoc Committee to hear Ms. Judith Blasser’s grievance that she had been expelled from the faculty during her final year in Den­ tistry. According to Ms. Blasser this decision resulted directly from her refusal to remain silent about the cheating going on in the Dentistry faculty. The grievance committee con­

b

sisted o f Dr. Charles Gosselin, Registrar o f the Order o f Dentists of Québec, and Dr. Guy Boyer, Professor o f Dentistry at Univerité de Montréal, both respected in their fields and both accepted by the Faculty o f Dentistry and Ms. Blasser. The Committee was chaired by Professor Greffier Atalon o f the Faculty o f Law. On the recommendation o f the Com­ mittee, Ms. Blasser was readmitted in­ to her fourth year, a year which she notes she had “ completed already” .

Her readmission was contingent on a strict set o f Terms and Conditions.

At the end o f her fourth year, in May 1984, Ms. Blasser did not receive her D.D.S. Again, as a result o f a resolution by Senate, an Ad Hoc Com­ mittee was set up to “ review the ap­ plication o f the Terms and Con­ d ition s concerning the reinstatement o f Ms. Judith Blasser to her fourth year” . The committee was comprised continued on page 3

by Marie Davis and Alison Fripp Invest in life insurance. Make a deposit in the McGill Blood Bank and help improve our rate o f return. This* year more than ever the Montreal Blood Bank is in desperate need of deposits. The bank’s reserves have been depleted to a critically low level.

If this bank account is overdrawn, the debt is measured in human lives.

The McGill University Blood Drive is being held October 15 through Oc­ tober 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Union Ballroom. This year’s effort has a realistic yet challenging goal o f 3000 units o f whole blood.

There are very few people who can­ not give blood. A blood donation takes about half an hour. However, the nee­ dle is only inserted for about five minutes, the rest o f the thirty minutes is spent registering, resting, and enjoy­ ing refreshments. A blood donation is less than half o f a litre — a mere fif­ teenth of the donor’s blood volume and the blood is replaced in the system within 48 hours. Eighty-five percent of blood collected is fractionated into its various components; red cells, white

cells, plasma, and platlets, each used to treat different illnesses.

This year’s Blood Drive includes many incentives. The grand prize is a white water rafting weekend for two by Wilderness Tours. For those donors donating blood for the first time, a weekend trip to Toronto, courtesy o f Via Rail, is being offered. Other prizes include lunches and dinners at Mon­ treal’s finer restaurants, ski days, and other trips.

Like last year, the McGill Blood Drive sponsors are Labatt Brewery and FM96 Radio Station. FM96 per­ sonalities will be in the Ballroom every day between 11am and 2pm. On Wednesday, the special guest at 1:15 is Marty Bear, sponsored by Program Board.

Apathy is our biggest obstacle.

McGill University has 29,000 potential donors. Our interest rate in past years has only been 10%. Don’t give in to the recession. Combine consideration and generosity — open a Comination Ac­ count at the McGill Blood Bank and donate!!

Students’ Council Budget Night H it List

by Brian Todd It appeared that each councillor car­ ried his or her own “ hit-list” into last Thursday’s Student Council budget night. Legal Aid, Radio McGill, the Red and White Review, the Film Socie­ ty, the Debating Union, the VicePresident (External Affairs) and the Post Graduate Students’ Society (P.G.S.S.) all had their budget alloca­ tions for 1984-85 carefully scrutinized by penny-conscious Councillors. While Legal Aid, Radio McGill, the Debating Union and the Red and White Review escaped with their budgets complete, other groups were not so lucky.

The Film Society has had its second semester budget frozen and must operate on a break-even basis for that semester instead of under a healthy several thousand dollar subsidy. The V.P. (External Affairs) budget has been tabled until the next meeting of the Students’ Council. Students’ Socie­ ty will continue to hold the $7.500 allocation to the P.G.S.S. in its Capital Reserve Fund account until the details of the financing have been cleared-up to the satisfaction of the Joint Manage­ ment Committee (the body which recommends financial decisions to the Students’ Council). A committee of Students’ Council will look into the funding of the Legal Aid clinic over the course of the year but this year’s budget will remain unchanged.

The funding of the Film Society was questioned by Ramesh Singal, Graduate Studies and Research

continued from page 1 of Mr. S. Fogarty, student in the Faculty of Law, Professor S. Shapiro of the Department of Epidemiology and Health and Professor D. Wolfson of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

After much deliberation the commit­ tee decided “ that the Faculty (of Den­ tistry) violated the Terms and Condi­ tions by the method it used to evaluate the clinical work performed by Ms. J. Blasser in the subjects of Operative Dentisry and Removable Presthodontics” , two of the disciplines the Faculty claims she failed.

This Ad Hoc Committee carefully pointed out, that a recalculation of grades according to the Terms was not within the mandate given to it by Senate. Consequently, a final judge­ ment of Ms. Blasser’s standing which did not violate the Terms and Condi­ tions was never produced. The results of this Committee then proceeded to the Steering Committee for Senate which is comprised of the Principal, the Vice Principal (Academic), the Vice Principal (Planning and Academic), and six senators, only one of which must be a student. Steering Commit­ tee, according to normal procedures, then decides what to present to Senate, Senate being the highest administrative body in the University.

Now that familiarity is over with, there are several unanswered ques-

Senator. Singal wondered if the $10,000 budgeted wasn’t excessive when there were three other sources of the same kind of films available in the city at comparable prices. Scott Keating, Vice-President (Finance) ex­ plained the Film Society budget by pointing out the high costs the Film Society must pay for projectionists ($16.50 per hour) and porter fees after 10:30 weeknights ($130 minimum) and on Satin-days ($300 minimum). An in­ itial amendment would have frozen the entire Film Society budget. However, debate followed and it was decided that rather than having the Film Society lose their audience while cost-cutting measures were found, the Film Society should receive their first semester budget but that the second semester be run at a break-even basis. Access to the second semester funds is dependent upon the Film Society showing the J.M .C. that it will be able to run with a zero-based budget.

The renovations of Thomson House, the student centre for the Post Graduate Students’ Society became the focus for a heated discussion about the return post-grad students get on their investment in the Students’ Society of McGill University. The discussion followed on the heels of the revelation that the $7,500 the P.G.S.S. had re­ quested for the renovations of Thom­ son was being placed in a Capital Reserve Account. Scott Keating ex­ plained that J.M .C. had decided to wait until the P.G.S.S. had completed

tions: 1) What was the real reason Ms. Blasser was ‘kicked out’ just before she was about to finish? Is Ms. Blasser’s reason the only reason? Is it correct?

2) Though the Faculty of Dentistry does not make a habit of dismissing students in their final year, why was Ms. Blasser, a slightly above average student according to documents and Faculty representatives, suddenly dismissed?

3) How do dentistry students feel about Ms. Blasser and the actions of the Faculty concerning the case.

4) How long can Senate and the Grievance Committee procedures con­ tinue, while a fellow student awaits a degree?

5) What is the point of having subcom­ mittees of Senate if matters are not solved but merely continued? Why was a final judgement of her standing, that complied with the Terms and Condi­ tions, not presented?

6) What of the lack of student representation to the Senate Steering Committee? If the Committee controls what goes to Senate then it can con­ ceivably have more power than Senate.

Therefore students’ opinions are barely represented.

its negotiations with the University and until the P.G.S.S. had presented more detailed plans of its renovations to the Students’ Society. Diane Dutton, Graduate Studies and Research Coun­ cillor, replied that, “ The P.G.S.S. has concluded its negotiations with the University and has come to an agree­ ment on the loan and grant.” She then went on to ask why the Students’ Society couldn’t simply grant them the money then. It was decided to keep the P.G.S.S grant in the Capital Reserve Fund and an amendment to increase the reserve to $10,000 as was recom­ mended by the P.G.S.S. was defeated.

Bodo von Ditfurth, Medecine Coun­ cillor, commenting on the Debating Union, while recognizing their achievements and proficiency, claimed that, “ The Debating Union is com­ parable to the soccer team or football team, essentially, they are P.R. for the University. Therefore it should be up to the University or Student Services to fund this activity.” Scott Keating remarked that funding for the Debating Union had been sought from

In what almost turned into a per­ sonal battle between President Grace Permaul and Vice-President (External Affairs) Martine Gagnon, Council tabled the External Affairs budget un­ til their next meeting. This would allow Permaul and Gagnon to meet and discuss the matter in private. Permaul had asked that the budget be tabled un­ til Gagnon provided Council with a more detailed break-down of her budget including expenses for an Ex­ ternal Affairs Symposium. Gagnon claimed that she had given these details orally twice to Permaul as well as Keating. Gagnon then charged that Permaul “ could only be holding up the budget for personal reasons.” The matter ended in the tabling of the budget.

To the Editors; Re: Kevin Nishmas’ story, “ The Case of the Violated Victim” (McGill Tribune, Oct.2): .

Would Nishmas have written his “ whodunit” in quite the same way if he’d had any direct knowledge of rape, rapists, or rape victims? Would he have written the story at all? I doubt it.

Here’s a puzzle for discriminating readers to solve: In Nishmas’ story, a man in a mask tries to rape a “ petite blonde” in an alley in the early morn­ ing. Count the stereotypes in that scenario. Does this reflect the realities about rape?

More important is the fact that, by using a rape-story in a silly solution­ seeking game, Nishmas minimizes the seriousness of the crime and its effects on victims, their families and

Since the whole piece fails to say much of any import about its subject, I wonder why it was written at all. I wonder too, why it appears on the Entertainment page of your paper.

This reflects a lack of taste and sen­ sitivity on the part of whoever approv­ ed its publication.

by Heather Clancy In a recent perusal of the McGill Tribune you will have noticed a stunn­ ingly witty article by Leif Montin directed mainly towards the McGill male population, entitled “ How to Pick Up Girls” . This week’s exclusive interview with Brooke Shields has been preempted to inform the women of McGill how to cope with the interesting technique advocated by Leif in his arti­ cle. (What will follow remains to be seen!)

Parties are often so dark so the wonderful man you saw at twenty yards may be less than perfect at two feet away. However, your curious glances will have brought him gleefully bounding in your general direction.

Some sort of introduction is bound to follow. If the male in question is tall, dark and person able, there should be

by Ravi Durvasula . Are you qualified to drive a car in Montreal? Sure you may have a driver’s license from another part of the country, but are you fit to drive in this city?

Take the following test and if you get at least 70% o f the questions correct, you are an eligible Montreal driver.

Question 1) What is the first thing you should d o when you enter you r car?

Answer: Start honking the horn. It’s good to get into the habit o f doing this when backing out of your driveway. An easy way to remember this is to lean forward with one elbow on the horn as you drive.

Question 2) What is a s a fe sp eed limit f o r city driving?

Answer: This depends on one’s discretion. Set your own limit. The general rule o f thumb is: any speed which ensures that your car remains on the road is suitable.

Question 3) When you see a red light should you slow down or accelerate?

Answer: This is a trick question. I f you are a true Montréal driver, you shouldn’t be looking at the lights. Your goal is to get from one point to another without stopping or slowing down. Traffic lights are impediments which should be ignored.

Question 4) A t a fo u r way stop, who gets the right o f way?

Answer: Everyone. All at once. ✓ Question 5) What is the m ost valuable asset f o r a M ontréal driver?

Answer: The ability to swear in both French and English. One who is fluently bilingual in this respect can easily become king o f the road.

Question 6) An old lady with a shopping cart is inching her way across the crosswalk. What should you do.

Answer: Acclerate. Even the most feeble person will perform the necessary acrobatics to get out of your way.

Question 7) An am bulance with flashing lights and screaming sirens is stuck behind you r car in traffic. What should you do?

Answer: Wave to its drivers. Let them know you understand the emergency.

But whatever you do, don't relinquish your spot in line.

Question 8) Is it O.K. to g o the wrong way on a on e way street?

Answer: Yes, provided you are driving in reverse (easy question).

Question 9) What are the rules f o r parking near an intersection?

Answer: It is alright to park in the middle on the intersection only at night.

During the day, however, no more than 3.2 feet of your car may project into the intersection.

Question 10) What shou ld you d o i f you r car is stuck on an icy sp ot in the winter?

Answer: Panic. Press the accelerator to the floor and scream curses at anything in sight. Then wait for a few good Samaritans to come and give you a push.

Question 11) What is the minimum distance you r car can b e p a rk ed fr o m the curb?

Answer: Another trick question. There is no minimum distance. In fact, your car need not be parked on the street at all. If you are in a rush, simply leave half o f it on the sidewalk..

Question 12) What are the requirements to get a bon a fid e license in M ontréal?

Answer: Requirements? What requirements? Can you fit the key in the slot next to the steering wheel? Do you desire to be like A .J. Foyt? That’s all you need. no problem. (Take it away!) However, if your eager friend is short, light and obnoxious some serious recouping is indeed necessary. Start your campaign subtly. Answer every single one of his questions in monosyllables. Develop a sudden interest in the specks on the ceiling.

Often, however, your shadow-like admirer is too amorous, or too drunk, to realize that you want him to buzz off. For heaven’s sake don’t hesitate to be blatant. Tell him that the way he

by Melinda Ham For sale: one room accomodation, fully furnished located on the slopes of Mount Royal Park. Included in the price is a 5 day meal plan. Easy ten minute walk to any McGill classes, shared washroom and kitchen, base­ ment laundry facilities. Does this sound attractive? Hold on a second — the crunch: $1554 — $2003 per semester.

What exactly are these self-sufficient a cc o m o d a tio n u n its? M c G ill’ s residences — four coeds; Gardener, Douglas, McConnell, Molson and one women’s; Royal Victoria College. Ac­ tually, there is space available for only 1088 o f McGill’s 20,000. This type of existence is really inviting, if you can afford it. 42% o f the students in residence are 2nd, 3rd or 4th year returnees, which is a 4% increase over last year. Why do students like residence life? What makes them come back year after year?

The physical reasons for residence popularity are easy to itemize.

Residence provides many o f the conve­ niences o f home. Chris B ., U1 Arts from Douglas, says, “ Residence cushions the shock o f moving away from home.” Meals are prepared five days a week at the coeds and seven days a week at RVC. Cheap laundry facilities are in the basement of every residence. And yet, the residence is safe and controlled. RVC has a 24 hour security guard. Each floor in residence has a “ floor fellow” , older students who act as pseudo-parents to offer counselling.

This controlled enviroment is a good way for first year students to make ins­ tant friends with their neighbours.

Residences provide a complete social life offering brunches, cocktail parties, dances and inter-residence sports teams.

Residences are a 10 minute walk from classes. Close, inexpensive, offcampus housing is becoming increas­ ingly difficult to find. As the fabled “ student ghetto” east o f campus bet­ ween U niversity and D urocher becomes invaded yearly by chic con­ dominiums, the prospect o f moving to NDG or Atwater or past St. Laurent to find feasible accomodation looks unin­ viting.

But residences only accomodate 5% o f M cGill’s population. M cGill’s residences are the most expensive in Canada! The pros o f non-residence are easily summed up by Lisa Ridgway U3 Arts student. Ridgway lived in residence only one semester in U l. “ Money was a large factor (in moving out o f residence)” she says, “ but we thought we’d be happier running our own lives and planning our own meals, and we are having fun.” Lisa lives in a

4 1/2 room apartment shared with a friend and pays $160 per month with food an additional expense. She saves approximately $100 per month versus living in residence.

Clearly though, not every McGill student shares Lisa’s independence as illustrated by the residence returnees.

But is lack o f independence the only reason students keep coming back?

Martha Wilson, U2 Arts, living at Douglas Hall offers her reasons; “ You’re going to live in an apartment or house the rest o f your life anyway so why deal with the responsibilities of that now that you’re a carefree stu­ dent.” Some halls, ie. Douglas and Gardner have really high returnee rates. Douglas Hall has only 18 freshmen. On 6th floor Gardner, 15 out o f 18 men and 9 out o f 18 women are returning students. Greg Miller, the floor fellow o f this floor, says that “ the popularity (of residence) is cyclical, it comes and goes. We’re on an upswing right now.” Govind Sreenivasan U l Arts stayed in Douglas Hall again this year for the communal aspect. “ You eat with them (residence students) and see them all the time.

Living outside residence you don’t have to deal with people all the time.

You can isolate yourself in your own little apartment.”

Residence also offers a multicultural community. 50% o f the students living in residence are foreign students. 30% are from the United states. 20% are from countries as varied as England, Spain, Jamaica and Costa Rica. The vital element lacking in this melange is Montréalers. McGill Residence does not admit students who are within commuting distance to McGill.

Clearly then, residence accomoda­ tion tends to cater to a special type of student — someone who’s not in finan­ cial problems first o f all. Also someone who is not 100% ready to fend for themselves and do grocery shopping and cook meals in the middle of exams.

And yet, it caters to the student who seeks more that an academic education at McGill, but who wants to have a social education and to learn how to deal with people from different backgrounds on an intimate day to day basis.

As Sreenivasan says, “ Residence is what you make o f it.”

_______________________ S is t e r s

by Jack Berry Saturday night brought an invasion of the “ SISTER S” to McGill’s Union Ballroom. The Sisters consisted of two dynamic groups — The Beverly Sisters from Vancouver, and Montreal’s own Seven Sisters. Interestingly enough, o f the two bands, only one real sister made it onstage. And from the look of the crowd, a lot of sisters and brothers passed up the show. Too bad, they missed a good show.

I can understand no one beating down the door to see The Beverly Sisters, they’re virtually unknown out­ side the West, but the Seven Sisters are renowned as one of the best club bands

by Melanie Clulow Rickie Lee Jones: THE MAGAZINE (WEA) ; The sound of Rickie Lee Jones’ latest album effort is definitely a far cry from “ Chuck E ’s in Love” . The album is an artful collection of raw torch songs and light jazz: smoky bar music.Jones’ distinctive earthy voice and mumbled style bring a feeling of tenderness to her stream of conciousness lyrics.

The first cut on THE MAGAZINE is “ Prelude to Gravity” , an enchanting string ensemble that sets the tone for the entire album. The remainder of the songs are fragile melodies telling of wounded women and unrequited love.

Two of the more interesting cuts, even by virtue of their titles alone, include “ Rorschachs Theme for the Pope” and “ Deep Space” .

AU in all THE MAGAZINE is an ex­ cellently produced album, Jones’ uni­ que vocals are perfectly balanced by the cool, intricate instrumentals; not a synthesizer to be heard.

David Bowie: TONIGHT (EMI) Whatever happened to the Bowie of Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust?

Although this new album is impeccably produced and stylisticaUy perfect, it is bound to be a disappointment to those who seek in Bowie the ultimate in originality. However, comparisons to earlier works notwithstanding, the album itself should be heard.

In this album, Bowie seems to have discovered a social conciousness. This new twist is readily apparent in the already hit single “ Neighbourhood Threat” as well as in “ Loving the Alien” . Most of the cuts are col­ laborative efforts with Iggy Pop. The music itself is often reggae-inspired — reminiscent of early Police. The title track with Tina Turner is an exceUent example of Bowie’s new sound.

However, on “ Tumble and Twirl” he seems to have lost aU sense of direction and the song ends up sounding like a Latin fiesta. But that’s reaUy the only weak song. TONIGHT is an album to be appreciated for what it is and not for what has preceded it.

General PubUc: A LL THE RAGE (A&M) General Public is a composite unit, comprising various well-known musi­ cians each adding to the band’s sound.

The group includes among its

t h e

N e e d le

members: Rankin’ Rogers and David Wakeling, formerly of The English Beat, and guitarist Mick Jones from The Clash. As well, for this album, the group “ borrowed” two intrumentalists from Dexy’s Midnight Runners who give a country twang to the persistant beat of the music. “ ALL THE RAGE sounds very much like The English Beat and will no doubt be enjoyed by former EB fans” , says Doug Hylton, dj at Radio McGill and at Thursday night’s Detour. The best two singles on ALL THE RAGE are “ Tenderness” , recently remixed by John Jellybean Benitez, NYC scratch mix disc jockey, and “ So Hot You’re Cool” , and excellent dance tune.

As far as dance music goes, General Public’s debut album is a smash. Don’t miss it.

AMADEUS Soundtrack ( A & M Records)

by Lome Weston Choosing the music to include in the soundtrack o f a film whose subject is Mozart, a composer of over 600 pieces of music,-must have been no easy feat and, obviously, "someone’s favourite will have been left out. Despite this, the AMADEUS double album is sure to please anyone who enjoys Mozart’s music, providing a good sampling from some of his most popular sym­ phonic, operatic, choral, and concerto works.

All the music on the album, except for the two selections not written by Mozart, is performed by the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields conducted

by Neville Marriner. Both are well known for the excellence of their past performances on record and both are up to their usual high standard here.

The quality of the performance is mat­ ched by the quality of the recording: highs are not excessively bright so violins don’t sound steely, lows are deep, and the vocals in the opera and choral works come through loud and clear. Unfortunately, I was rather disappointed by the poor quality o f the pressing; there was more than the usual number of snaps, crackles, pops, and thumps.

This album is obviously not for everyone, but it would make a nice ad­ dition to any classical collection (if you haven’t got most o f the music already).

For those who may be thinking o f try­ ing some classical music, this would make a good introduction to Mozart.

Roger Hodgson: IN TH E EYE OF TH E STORM ( A & M Records)

by Steve Fraser In the E ye o f the Storm is Roger Hodgson’s first solo effort. It’s not drastically different to what he’s already done with Supertramp. Why leave such a famous band then? After all, he was, with Rick Davies, the driv­ ing force of this group. To leave now and come up with an album that could easily be mistaken for that band is a brave, if not a foolish thing to do.

That’s what I thought and I was wrong.

The first thing one has to forget is that this is not another C rim e o f the Century. The songs are all in the familiar Supertramp style with two ex­ ceptions. L ov ers in the W ind is the kind of song you’d share with that special somebody on a rainy day and is easily my favourite. I ’m N ot A fraid , at least half of it, sounds a bit like Man­ fred Mann, one of my favourites too, The remaining five songs could have fit on either the next Supertamp LP or on one of the past ones. Only B ecause o f You would go on Even in the Q uietest M om ents, H o o k ed on a P roblem on B reakfast in A m erica, and possibly In Jeop ard y too.

The obvious choice for the single was H ad a D ream (Sleeping With the Enem y). I like this song. Even after having heard it innumerable times on CHOM, I still like it, and I usually get tired with catchy songs quickly.

So maybe Mr. Hodgson is taking a chance by not changing his style, the song G ive M e L ov e, G ive M e L ife lets us know that he knows it too.

The weak points of In th e E ye o f the Storm are that some songs tend to get lengthy. Hodgson was reported to have said he has eighty pieces yet to be recorded. He could have fitted another three by shortening a few cuts here and there on this album. And lastly, Hodgson’s tenor singing can get an­ noying sometimes (like Rush’s Geddy Lee) but he makes up for it with above average musicianship. Hodgson finally gets to shine on guitar a little more, something Supertramp kept hidden.

In all, this is a very good album with strong material, albeit familiar. Now I find myself wondering if Roger Hodgson really was Supertramp, and if so, what their new album will sound like.

Montreal has to offer.

The Beverly's brought a fresh brand o f sophisticated pop from the West Coast. Featuring fine vocals from Ewan McNeil, and backed by a fine band, they swung through some upbeat original material, and showed the easy confidence of a band with several years o f touring experience. While the au­ dience was generally small and unenthusiastic, the reception was warm in response to their efforts. The most fun was exhibited by members of the other band, who danced and swayed, oblivious to the crowd around them.

After hearing great things about this local band; and having caught them at a dreadful Concordia bash last year, I was anxious to hear The Seven Sisters in a more suitable venue. The sound system was excellent, even with the high concrete ceilings bared to rebound whatever sound reached them. And the band’s sound was clear and strong.

Seven Sisters are definitely a band to catch. Serving up a solid diet of popfunk tunes, without relying too heavily on anyone else’s recognizable sound, their music is definitely their own.

A favourite moment occurred when they performed one of only two cover tunes — the classic “ I Heard It Through The Grapevine” . It clearly demonstrated their ability to choose tasteful selections, and adapt them to their own style.

demonstrates their devotion to making their own sound, and it went over big with the crowd. Danceable, very uptempo modern music, it was hard to sit back and just watch, it was too much fun to join it.

Singer Bill Ringgeiherg was a ball o f energy, and he was backed by the powerful vocals o f Charm aine LeBlanc, the sole sister in that role.

W aiting for Parade D irector Talks to Trib

by Steve Fraser Late last Saturday afternoon I inter­ viewed Mrs. Myma Selkirk. She’s the director of John Murrel’s W aiting F or The P arade presented by McGill Drama. She also teaches theatre classes for the McGill English Department.

Here are some of the things she had to say about her career and directing W aiting F o r The P arade.

Tribune: What experience have you had as a director and as an actress?

Myrna Selkirk: Not a lot of experience as a director. I directed a couple of plays four or five years ago at universi­ ty during my training. Then last year I directed The G olden C u ckoo at Morrice Hall. I do a lot of directing in my class with scenes so I wanted a whole play, you know, put a whole play together so I did G olden C u ckoo and we elected to do another play this year.

In acting, I’m trained as an actress. I trained at The Vancouver Acting School. I worked professionally for a year and still work during the sum­ mers.

Trib: Can you give me a brief résumé of Waiting F or The P arad e’s story?

M.S. Umm. It’s set during WWII and these five women who their men in in various ways are into the war. Just their reactions to the war. It goes through the whole span from 1939 to

The mortality rate of those guys that landed first was incredible. And I started to want to know more about the men who went to war as well as the women’s reactions. It’s something we should not forget.

Trib: What brought about the drastic cut in ticket prices for W aiting F or The P arade?

M.S.: I wanted to do it for free but I’m happy with the dollar. Cause it’s for students and you want audiences. You want people to come and see it. It’s not a money making proposition and it shouldn’t be. I felt very strongly about that and also Professor Ripley, who’s the chairman of the department now, really agrees. It’s like NTS does their stuff for free because they’re heavily subsidized. We charge a dollar because, I don’t know (laughs). I mean we have to cover a bit of it. We’re not so heavily subsidized. But we shouldn’t be making profits (on this play) and I don’t think we should... I just think it should be accessible to people if that’s at all possible.

Trib: Are you being faithful to Murrel’s every word?

M.S.: (seriously) I believe in being true to what the playwright wants. My hus­ band’s a playwright (laughs).

Trib: What are your future plans in theatre then?

M.S.: I need to get a Masters because I’d really like to continue teaching and act during the summer. I think I’d like

1945. From the beginning of the war to the end add how they dealt with it, how they survived. There’s just one woman in the play who has a husband that’s gone to war and there’s another whose two sons, well one son, has gone to war. Then one woman whose husband chose not to go and the difficulties that poses for her and one woman whose husband is too old to go but desperate­ ly wants to. So they all have different connections to it.

Trib: The story is based in Calgary, right?

M.S.: Yeah.

Trib: What are you trying to emphasize through Waiting F or The P arade as director?

M.S.: The ability of people to survive in a situation that isn’t the normal course of their life. And I’m trying to emphasize the relationships that these women developed. Women who pro­ bably wouldn’t have come together ex­ cept for the war. They actually come together because of the Red Cross, do­ ing bandages and that sort of thing.

They’re rather strange bedfellows.

Trib: Did you have to do a lot of research for Waiting F or The P arade?

M.S.: Quite a bit, yeah. Because you need to know the background of the war. You start to want to know more about it and you start searching for what it’s done. For example, D-Day, because about the time we proposed the play it was its 40th anniversary.

quality o f McGill athletics. As a result o f this situation a report has been released by Professor Roger Rigelhof and a Senate Committee outlining the problem and suggesting a number o f solutions. The study, entitled ‘Report an the Admission o f Student Athletes’ , dicusses the frustration felt by many o f the coaches when they realize, after months o f recruiting, that many o f their top athletes are not eligible for enrollment at McGill.

The problem is neither the fault o f the coaches or the admissions office.

As Rigelhof points out, the admission o f students is a “ very involved process” that becomes considerably more arduous when dealing with borderline students. Many o f the stu-

dent athletes fall into this marginal category. The coaches, although usual­ ly aware o f the basic admission qualifications, are not in touch with the intricacies involved when determin­ ing the “ admissibility” o f athletes. As Rigelhof explains, “ a great deal o f discretion must be shown on the part o f admission personnel when dealing with borderline cases” . Although marks are all that is taken into con­ sideration by the admissions office, standards are not as rigidly fixed as they might seem. There is always movement around the cu toff mark depending on enrollment and budget sizes. Furthermore, grades from the last three years o f high school are taken into consideration when reviewing an application as well as the amount o f years it took the particular individual to finish his secondary education.

The coaches do not have the time to look into all o f these details and are, consequently, at the mercy o f the ad­ missions office. The problem is com­ pounded by many o f the students’ in­ ability to accurately communicate their academic record.

To solve the problem the report sug­ gested promoting greater coordination between the liason and information o f­ fice and the athletics department to find “ athletes who meet M cG ill’s academic standards” . Furthermore it was proposed that the coaches recruit “ at schools from which M cGill tradi­ tionally draws students” . By adopting these two ideas and working at the same time with the High Schools’ guidance department, Rigelhof is con­ fident the jo b o f finding qualified athletes would be better facilitated.

The report asserts that this increased coordination would acquaint the stu­ dent more with the programs McGill offers and their various requirements.

In addition to this, the report explains,

by Patrick Johnston Ranald Davidson is an outstanding basketball player. Because o f the per­ sistant recruiting o f former McGill coach Butch Staples, Davidson was prepared to enroll at McGill for the 83/84 season. Staples, however, was not fully aware o f all o f the admission standards, and similarly, Davidson’s own academic record. As a result, Davidson was not accepted and conse­ quently, is now a star player for the U o f T Blues. Staples, for his part resign­ ed.

This is not an isolated incident.

Resigning coaches are becoming com­ monplace in the M cGill Athletic Department and this has led to the in­ creasing concern about the continued

André Martin is a 6’3” defenceman who played last year for les Filons de Thetford Mines o f the AAA college league. The 20 year old native o f Actonvale, Quebec previously played for Longueuil and Verdun o f the Quebec M ajor Junior Hockey League (QMJH L ) which is arguably the best junior hockey league in the world. In 1982, Martin was a twelfth round draft choice o f the Quebec Nordiques o f the N H L . M arin will be studying Economics and Management here at

McGill.

Benoit Lafleur o f St. Hyacinthe comes to M cGill after two stand-out years with Les Castors de St. Jean (Q M JH L) where he scored 50 goals and assisted on 74 others for a total of 124 points. In addition to the QUAA bursary, Lafleur has also received a Hockey Canada bursary. Lafleur is majoring in Physical Education.

Nat Mellilo has the honour o f being the first female athlete at McGill to receive the QUAA bursary. A Mon­ treal native, Melillo last year helped take Dawson College to the National College Basketball finals in Brandon Manitoba. She is also a member o f the Quebec Provincial team. What makes these accomplishments even more im­ pressive is the fact that she has only played competitive basketball for one year. Nat Melillo brings a 75% average from C EG EP to McGill.

D ile m m a “ the recruiting o f athletes would be in phase with the procedures o f the Ad­ missions O ffice, and the need for special procedures such as the exten­ ding o f deadlines would disappear.”

The report concludes with a sugges­ tion to relieve the coaches o f the time consuming jo b o f recruiting and hire a “ well-qualified recruiter who knows athletics and who could work with the coaches and the liason o ffice .”

R igelh of s report is a moderate and conciliatory response to an emotional issue. It has been suggested by some members o f the coaching staff that more than academics be taken into consideration when evaluating an athlete’s qualifications. Such extracur­ ricular activities might have included assuming leadership roles in essentially non-academic fields. This proposal, however, proves unacceptable when one considers the fact that there are un­ doubtedly many unrecruited students who would qualify on the basis o f their extracurricular activities but who’s marks fall slightly short o f the cut o ff.

As Rigelhof points out, inconsistencies in admitting policy would “ violate any sense o f fair play” .

A solution to this is to begin a prac­ tice found in many o f the Ivy League schools o f interviewing each applicant and evaluating the applicant on both a c a d e m ic an d n o n -a c a d e m ic acheivements. Given M cG ill’s rapidly diminishing budget however, this idea is not only unfeasible, it is ludicrous.

The issue o f athletic recruitment, and its recent consequences have un­ doubtedly had a negative effect on the McGill athletic department. W hat is at stake here, however, is not only the quality o f our sports department but the integrity o f the admissions office and policy. R igelh of s report appears to be the first step in seeing that neither side is further compromised

by Glen Cunningham With their backs to the wall the Con­ cordia Stingers staved o ff elimination from post season play with a hardfought 19-14 victory over the McGill Redmen Saturday afternoon at the Loyola complex before 4,000 en­ thusiastic fans in the 16th annual Shaughnessy Cup. Flashy running back Ed Shirley ig­ nited the win with a scintillating effort o f moves and determination as he rush­ ed for 150 yards against a Redmen defensive unit that was able to shut down everything else the Stingers threw at them.

But the inability to stop the Stinger ace followed a pattern that developed in the earlier meeting o f the two clubs when Shirley ran wild in the first half but and then closed o ff completely.

Running behind a strong front wall Shirley tore up the turf with reckless abandon using the efforts o f fanfavourite Nick Benjamin to particular advantage.

There was no mystery to the Concor­ dia game plan; it was inspired block­ ing, tackling and straight-ahead foot­ ball. Credit the Concordia staff for possessing the insight to give the ball to Shirley.

M cGill on the other hand could mount nothing in the way o f consistent attack. M cGill applied an ultra­ conservative offense with sporadic suc­

cesses dotting an otherwise futile at­ tack that came up a little bit short.

M cGill had Crawford working out o f a short drop o f three yards in an effort to establish a short passing game but the Stingers upset the required timing with concerted rushing ail afternoon that saw Crawford dropped 5 times and suffering the effects o f the hard charge by the Stingers’s front wall.

W ith a secondary that could be labelled suspect the Stingers may have dodged a bullet as the Redmen elected to go with flares and a variety o f underneath patterns with no heat being applied to the cornerbacks.

However Crawford hit on over 50 per cent o f his passes for 282 yards in a gritty performance. Miller snared 9 for 92 yards.

The victory was further propelled by a dismal display o f ineptitude on the part o f the officiating crew led by Dave Tagieff and Bem ie Young whose inter­ pretation o f the rules was mystifying.

Calls and non-calls punctuated the action with a sea o f red flags occurring in the final three minutes o f the game that left everyone shaking their head.

The day began well for M cGill as they notched an early safety touch on a bad third down snap. Then Glenn Miller clicked with a 28 yard field-goal to stake M cGill to a quick 5-0 lead as the two teams slugged it out in a titanic defensive struggle in the opening 15

minutes.

Then M cGill pushed their way down to the Stinger 10 and M cGill appeared in command. However, on the first down, McGill fumbled on the 5 and the Stingers returned 35 yards to mid­ field.

Concordia was camped on the M cGill one but Shirley fumbled and M cGill dodged a bullet. The momen­ tum had gone and McGill spent the en­ tire quarter with bad field position and could not meet the hard-hitting Stinger defense.

Shirley cracked over from four yards out and Concordia was on the board.

Mallet added the PA T and a 24 yard field goal and the Stingers took a 10-5 lead into the intermission.

The Stingers were stingy in the se­ cond half as Crawford and company could not get going. Finally Charlie Baillie sent in reserve signal caller Brian Fuller to “ alter the look” , but Tony Balninello, who was exceptional all afternoon, intercepted at the McGill 45 and soon a fter Ed Shirley scampered in from 18 yards out to push the margin to 17-5.

Concordia put more heat on Fuller on the next series batting down two more passes and Baillie sent Crawford

back in.

Crawford moved the Redmen down field with the big play, a 40 yard gainer to Bruno Pietrobon. The FG attempt was good and the teams changed ends.

M cGill began to make their move lit­ tle by little inspired by their defense led by some incredible work by Steve Niles who had four sacks, a plethora o f solo tackles, several hurries and a crucial bat-down on the goal to prevent a cer­ tain score.

With time running down, Crawford found Ray Lalonde behind the secon­ dary to narrow the score to less than a touchdown. Hope remained!

With “ Nails” Niles storming all over the field and with Crawford pitching, visions o f another miracle finish sur­ faced.

Enter Bem ie Young and his zebras and M cGill was flagged for their se­ cond loss.

McGill was not without their defen­ sive heroes; safety Greg Foss made several key plays including two saving efforts on the runaway Shirley. “ The Boss” is one o f the best in the open field. Secondary mate Steve Baillie had a great afternoon as well coming up to play linebacker.

by Takane Chloé Alzeki The undefeated McGill RedSocs shutout the University o f Sherbrooke Vert et Or 3-0 on October 5th. Three cheers for the Redmen? The “ Oh, no’s” that poured forth from the M cGill bench told another story.

Ahead 1-0 in the first half thanks to a Graham Butcher header, the Redmen were turning the Vert et Or defense in­ side out. Sherbrooke, unable to make heads or tails out o f the game, were plagued by M cGill attackers buzzing around their net. However, the faithful fans shivering in the stands at Molson were left to wonder why the home team was unable to capitilize more often.

The fact is, M cGill should have been leading 6-0 by the second half.

In contrast, Redmen keeper Aldo Braccio, left in “ dry land” since the first half, had to resort to dancing on the 35-yard line to stay warm through most o f the second half.

The game was not without drama, however. A header by McGillian Marc Noe was unfortunately footed out by a Vert et Or defender covering for keeper Luc Berthiaume. Trouble followed for Noe as forward Peter Ellement was tackled roughly in the Verts box and the Redmen were awarded a penalty kick.

Noe was selected to take the shot,

but bad luck dies hard — the shot veered a few feet away from the right post, a miss rarely seen in soccer. Noe redeemed himself a few minutes later however, as he scored the second goal for the Reds with a spectacular narrow angle shot from the left.

Graham Butcher summed up his team’s performance during a breather on the sidelines — “ we seem to be playing in 15 minute spurts. We can’t seem to reach a plateau.”

I n . one o f M c G ill’s g loriou s moments, rookie Kamal Ahfeda deftly dribbled through a line o f green defenders, putting the icing on the cake for the Reds 3-0. In the dwindling minutes, midfielder Lloyd Lazar, with a sudden surge o f adrenalin, broke through 40 yards’ worth o f Sherbrooke defense. His shot missed the net by in­ ches.

McGill seemed to be suffering from a “ let down syndrome” , which rears its ugly head when a championship is confronted with an average contender.

Any other team would have been hap­ py with the win, but the Redmen, rank­ ed 5th in Canada, expect near perfect play from themselves in order to con­ tinue to dominate Canadian soccer as they have for the past three years.

But what it boils down to is a win is a win.
