Council Grants P.G.S.S. $10,000 by Brian Todd
Students’ Council spent much o f its time at last Thursday’s meeting discussing whether to give the Post Graduate Students’ Society (P.G.S.S.) $10,000 to enable them to go ahead with their renovation at Thomson House. The Students’ Council finally decided to give the P.G .S.S the money. Scott Keating, V.P. Finance o f the Students’ Society, presented a motion to Council which he had suggested to the Joint Management Committee and which they had subsequently adopted. The motion would have seen the $10,000 grant to the P.G .S.S. frozen until late November. During the in terim Keating suggested that the Socie ty go to its constituent faculties to con sult them on what appeared to him to be dissatisfaction with the Society. After subsequent debate on the
nature o f that dissatisfaction and whether the people reporting that dissatisfaction were fit to represent the various faculties, Steven Fraser, the president o f the P.G .S.S. spoke on behalf o f that group. He fait that the issue o f satisfaction or dissatisfaction was germaine to the question o f fun ding fo Thomson House. He also pointed out to the Council that the J.M .C .’s recommendations were based on the false assumption that the P.G.S.S. had enough cash-in-hand to begin the project. Fraser pointed out that he had informed Sam Kingdon of the shortfall in funds in June. Following this revelation, James Green, Music Councillor, moved that the $10,000 be supplied to the P.G .S.S. if it was necessary in order for the pro ject to begin. It was on this motion that Council finally agreed.

On Monday, October 22, American writer Susan Sontag spoke about the notions invoved in writing stories. She also read two of her stories, The D u m my and D escription o f a D escription. Ms. Sontag is well known for her fic tion, short stories, and essays. She has also written screenplays and has directed three motion pictures. One of her books of essays, O n Photograp hy , is studied in the Communications branch o f the English Department. Ms Sontag likes to see literature in which an object is seen “ in and out of the world.” People distinguish bet ween prose and poetry, and then fur ther divide prose into categories o f fic tion and non-fiction. She prefers to “ transgress borders” , to mix poetical effects into prose telling, and to mix real facts into fictional stories. Most stories revolve around the dichotomy of reality and fantasy. To tell a story is to connect someone with something outside their realm of experience. Death is the ultimate horizon of story telling; no experience of man goes beyond death. Ms. Sontag is concern ed, therefore, with the postponement of death and the prolongation o f the horizon it imposes, and she uses a mix ture o f fantasy and reality to explore this possiblity in her stories. The first story, The D u m m y , is about the postponement of death. The average middle-aged businessman (wife two kids, big house in the suburbs) decides to break out o f his normal pattern o f life, a pattern which he sees as a gyre spiralling towards death. He builds a dummy which is identical to him emotionally, physical ly, and intellectually, and the dummy takes his place in his established life. Things are fine until the dummy falls in love wtih the new secretary at work, and threatens to ruin the man’ s entire scheme for the rest of his life. The man
is forced to build another dummy to take the place of the first one. The story ends with the three clones being completely separated and different. Ms. Sontag explains the man’ s ra tionale for his scheme: “ I want to keep for myself only what gives me pleasure. Ms. Sontag dislikes current science fiction, saying, “ It’s just not well writ ten enough.” She cites H.G. Wells as an excellent writer of science fiction. She says that she does enjoy the literature of fantasy, and considers herself relative to it along the principles of Romanticism, along with writers like Kafka and Poe. The second story, D escrip tion o f a D escrip tion showed her tendencies toward the Romantic tradition. It was a complex story, bas ed upon a tight technical format which linked the first line o f each paragraph. Each paragraph was an examination of the self, o f the imagination, which grew out o f the first sentence. All of the first sentences combined to form a paragraph which was copied from the journal of an unidentified 19th century writer. Sounds complicated? You bet. Ms. Sontag has developed her view points on feminism in much the same way as she develops her stories. She says that “ one has to live on many levels.” A woman must balance her own levels o f self-consciousness with a certain amount o f tolerance and accep tance. She disagrees with the radical New Left wing feminists who are total ly self-conscious and subsequently isolate themselves from half the people in the world. She also dislikes the sub jugation o f women: She said, “ L ite ra tu re is satu rated with misogyny!” Ms. Sontag answered the audience’ s questions in great depth. Her lecture was on a higher intellectual level than the preceding Bathurst lecturers, and it left the audience with concepts to ponder, not simply opinions.

MAPing Out Our Future by Michael Smart
The McGill Advancement Pro gramme (MAP) has reached two-thirds of its goal, the programme’ s chairman has announced. Fred Burbridge, also the Chairman of Canadian Pacific, announced to the Board of Gorvernors October 15 that the University’ s private fundraising campaign has received $40 659 000, with two years left to reach its target of $61 million. Burbridge expressed satisfaction with the progress of the campaign. “ This has been the result of dedicated effort from the entire McGill com munity. We have reason to celebrate and then renew our efforts towards successful completion of the pro gramme.” Most o f the new funds will be chan neled into research and renovations of existing facilities. However, the
pledges won’t be used to supplement regular funds for teaching salaries or maintenance costs. Private money spent in these areas is by law deducted from provincial government grants. The new funding is likely to mean lit tle to McGill’s many fledgling pro grammes and research departments. In 1983, Hugh Hallward, the Chairman of McGill’ s Board o f Governors an nounced that the purpose o f the cam paign “ is to build on strength; to enable the University to do better what it already does will.” M AP spokesman Tom Tompson ad mits that little o f the new money has been put to use so far. “ Much o f it is in the form o f pledges rather than cash gifts. The actual realization (of the grants) will be over a period o f years.” In the mean time, solicitation o f staff, alumni, corporations and foun dations will go on.

by George Nikides Dr. Norman Alcock, a nuclear physicist and a McGill graduate, is president of a group called the World Federalists o f Canada. Last Wednes day, October 24, he delivered a lecture in the Union Building in which he discussed World Federalism and its im portance in the nuclear age. Dr. Alcock is a director o f the Canadian Peace Research Institute and was a Canadian delegate to the 1978 and 1982 United Nations special sessions on disarma ment. What exactly is World Federalism? Their offical pamphlet states that although the world may be divided up into many different races, religions and ideologies, “ there is something that is pulling the human race together today that is larger than any of our dif ferences: our common goal for sur vival.” Man is at present facing many crises: overpopulation, mass starva tion, pollution and the threat of nuclear war. “ Our problems are global in scope. They cannot be solved by na tions acting alone.” World Federalists believe that we must take the ideals
that we abide by in our community — such as tolerance and justice — and ap ply them to the entire planet. “ We believe that the development of a world community is the greatest intellectual, moral and political challenge of our time. It requires above all a widespread shift in thinking from a self-centered and nation-centered view to an Earthcentered view.” Dr. Alcock’s lecture centered on the absurdity of the power struggle bet ween the United States and the Soviet Union and the necessity of world federalism as a means o f ending it. Alcock’s argument began with a very specific example of this struggle; the infamous shooting down of a Korean Airlines passenger plane by the Soviet Union last year. “ The shooting down of K A L 007,” Alcock said without hesitation, “ was a well-orchestrated military venture by the United States. It was no accident that when the plane strayed over Russian territory it was being closely followed by a U.S. spy plane, so that both planes combined to form a single dot on Russian radar. At precisely the same time the space shut-

tie was directly overhead, collecting valuable inform ation o f Soviet maneouvres. It was a way for the United States to test out its adversary. The U.S. wanted to find out exactly how long the Russians would take to react.” The United States overwhelmingly gained from the incident: President Reagan gained prestige, the peace movement slowed down, and the military was able to increase its budget. “ It was a direct provocation by the United States. But these things shouldn’ t suprise us. They are part of the tradition o f power politics. These are things that each power must do to protect their sphere o f influence. They are the rules of the game. The shooting down of the KAL plane is an example of the fact that in the nuclear age we are still thinking in the archaic terms of brute force. “ The superpowers have the same attitude as the traditional adversaries o f history — the French and the English, the Greeks and the Romans — the belief in raw power. Unfortunately the superpowers are dealing with brand new hardware.” The nuclear arms we possess today cannot be used, and the only way to avoid using them is through a world government. “ The relations between nations should be governed by agreedupon principles set down in law, and not by force.” The rule of law, however, requires a legislature to pass laws, a court to rule on the application of laws and a means to enforce laws Under a world government states would look after their internal affairs as they do now, but external affairs would be governed by a United Na tions. World Federalists are critical of the U .N., but they maintain that by im proving it, that is, by giving it greater authority and making it more democratic, it could become a world government in the near future. World Federalists also believe they can relieve some of the world’s pover ty. A world government could diminish continued on page 7

Intramurals o ffe r many things to M c G ill students. They provide a forum for athletic pursuits untainted by the vices o f reckless competitive spirit, violence or m onetary rewards. They allow the neophyte and the expert alike to measure his or her worth. In a relaxed enviroment, they foster team spirit which is o f lasting value. But perhaps the most striking feature o f intramural sports is the nature o f the team names selected by those paricipating. L o o k in g at the titles which characterized the various teams, I have come to the conclusion that intramural sport engenders a sense o f modesty in its athletes. I was led to this belief a few days back when I fou n d out that our intram ural softball team w as scheduled to play a team called ‘The T rash ’ . A fte r hearing this on the Sports H otline, I rolled around on the floor in fits o f laughter. “ H o w ,” I asked myself, “ could any self-respecting team label itself as Trash?” I then prepared for what I anticipated to be our team ’s easiest victory. W e ll, to m ake a long story very short, our squad was humiliated. In a manner o f speaking, we were ‘trashed’ . M y feeling o f shock was exacerbated when I was inform ed that ‘The T rash ’ was undefeated and that the manner in which they routed our team paled in com parison to their previous exploits. W h y , I thought, should a group o f such highly skilled athletes refer to itself in such a derogatory fashion? W h e n I looked at team names in other leagues, I found that such self-depreciation is ubiquitous. There are people out there, if you will believe this, w ho call themselves ‘Slim eballs’ , ‘Schizoid’ , ‘M isfits’ . Others have chosen such titles as ‘Relaxed M utants’ , ‘M ixed N u ts’ or Subhum an Dancers’ . The Physiology U ndergraduate Society fields basketball teams which go by the name o f P U S . This m ay be an acronym , but, nevertheless, could y o u stand up in front o f a group o f people and declare that your team is called P U S ? A yardstick which I have always thought to be appropriate when selecting a team name is whether or not one can write home to M other about it. Think o f the plight o f the mother w h o has to tell her friends at w ork that her dear sweet son has join ed a team called the G onads. O u r ow n team name, The Generics, though less brazen than those I have just mentioned, is founded on the same principles o f humility. Given this cornucopia o f disparaging terms, one can clearly see that modesty is the prevailing attitude am ong athletes in the intramural program . C ollege or profes sional teams hail by sduch names as Kings, Supersonics, Giants, G olden Gaels, or liken themselves to such pow erful beasts as Huskies, Tigers, Ram s or Lions. Few w ou ld hasten to call themselves Mutants or Headless Pygmies. A n d so we must applaud those w ho hum ble themselves in such a fashion. T hough some o f the names border on tastlessness (this, many will agree, is an understate ment), the spirit in which they are chosen is noble. In a w orld which abounds with m illion dollar prim a donnas w ho are all too willing to extoll their virtues, such displays o f modesty are o f sterling quality. This is yet another gift o f the intramural system.
Comment: Blood Drive Results Disgraceful by Stuart Aker The M c G ill B lood D rive collected 2547 pints. Congratulations are due to the organizers, the volunteers, the Red Cross, and the donors, you ’ve all done a w onderful jo b . This total is indeed respectable and it will help. It is also 500 pints below the anticipated goal. W hy? W a s the goal unreasonable? H ardly. M c G ill students and staff total more that 30 000. This doesn’t include com munity members, alumni, and area businessmen. One could safely assume that only 8 % o f potential donors gave. A g a in , why? W a s there something w rong with the D rive’ s organization? I d o n ’t believe so. The Drive w as easily accessible to all members o f the M c G ill community. The B allroom itself was well organiz ed. G o o d prizes were offered. A n d , free gifts such as beer and m ovie passes were available fo r participation. N o , I d o n ’t believe the organizers can be blam ed for the D rive’ s shortcomings. Is it possible people didn’t know
realize the importance o f giving blood? Unlikely. Everyone knows that the blo o d they give could, very realistical ly, save som eone's life. W h a t does this leave then? W h a t ’s to blame? Student apathy. W a n t a better word? Laziness. W a n t an adjective? Disgraceful. The B lo o d Drive was a chance for every student to do their part. It was a chance to do something worthwhile, something go o d fo r a change. N o thanks, right? The

ed the paranoia and loneliness — filled out with a curious mixture o f upbeat hum our and outdated philosophy — that the audience could almost tangibly feel her despair from betrayal and frustration at helplessness. Jane M aso n as M arta, the only G e r man in the group, had a unique role in the play. She participates in the com edy, but su ffers little m ockery. H ow ever, the persistent irony o f M u r rell’s style does not pass M arta over. A lth ou gh her hardship seems a clearcut case o f political injustice, we discover that she harbors a resentment for her over-serious father which divid ed the two.

The abrupt shifts from nearly neurotic and infantile behaviour to sympathetic, sensible dialogue in the character o f E ve were skilfully m anag ed by Patricia Badir. T h e bitter, u p tight rigidity o f Janet (Elizabeth Bellm ) was comically successful and, at the sam e t im e , t r a g ic a lly p it ifu l.

with several big plays called back and fum bles costing points. Tw ice M c G ill had the ball on the Gaiter one yard line but came aw ay empty as a fum ble and turn-overs cost the Redm en two m a jors. A s well B ishop’s had two takeaways inside their 25. Overcom ing adversity the Redm en kept right on trucking behind the m asterful quarterbacking o f C ra w fo rd w ho called a near-perfect ball game and threw for 350 yards on 28 o f 36 and m oved the Red and W h ite to a quick 10-0 lead. T ough A n d y H olm an who was once again the sparkplug for the Redmen with another grand outing set up his ow n 2 yard plunge with a 15 yard ram ble. M ik e Sanham ’s N orth South savagery was also the big con tributor to the p a y o ff drive as the big fullback gathered in a 20 yard beauty from C ra w fo rd . A lso the Redm en defensive unit led by rookie R o bin Bélanger had the Gaiters bottled up. Bélanger and com pany completely took aw ay the middle with blanket coverage by a brilliant secondary and the defensive line. D E M artin Lareau backed by “ T h e R o ck ” Labrecque in the m iddle along with linebacker W a y n e M a c R a e and Steve Niles, who h ad another gem , halted m uchheralded Dennis W a lk e r in his tracks. C ra w fo rd spent the entire second
quarter gaining back yards as the Redm en took out their anger on the Gaiter D -line with an intimidating ferocity that told the tale. The “ C re w ” up front allow ed fo r a degree o f intimidation that will be needed next week in Kingston for the Redmen to advance. A thirty yard scamper by C ra w fo rd w as nullified after the big quarterback had lugged it to the B ishop’s seven yard stripe. C ra w fo rd came right back to M ik e Sanham w ho set it up at the B ishop’s 22 but a third dow n gam ble failed and the teams took it in at the h a lf 10-0 M cG ill. W ith foruteen minutes to go fo llo w ing m ore brilliance, C ra w fo rd con nected with favourite targets M iller and D ruckm an and the running o f H olm an w ho bashed his w ay over from the one, putting the Redmen up 18-0 gary Kirchener’ s defense was enjoy ing their finest hour stacking up W alk er and gettipg in quarterback K arl N em ec’s face with blitzes coming from W ilso n and Steve Niles and hard charges from the fired-up Lareau to maintain the momentum. G lenn M iller (7 catches — 90 yards) pushed the margin to a com fortable 21-0 m idw ay in the fourth with his se cond field goal to give him 15 fo r the year.

Red Socs Beat UQAM by Takane Chloé Aizeki In one o f their m ore inconsistent matches o f the season, the M c G ill Redm en overcame a frustrating 1-1 tie with L e Soccer C lu b d ’U Q A M in the second h a lf on a goal by Louis Konstantopoulos last Tuesday. The final score 3-1. The Red and W hite got on the scoreboard early as m idfielder M arc N o e headed in a Kevin Taw eel throwin. M c G ill kept U Q A M keepter Karim Chelib busy, as the front line continued to c reate good o p p o r t u n it ie s . Frustrated U Q A M half-back Samuel M istiva received a yellow card whin he accidently swiped Valerio G azzola in the face in a squabble for the throw in ball. It was M c G ill’s turn to be frustrated in the early portion o f the second half. N o e shot on a perfect cross by Redm an Scotty Green, which bounced o f f a defender. N o e , seeing the orange net w aving in front o f his nose, blasted the rebound, but this am azingly hit goalie C h elib’s forehead, ricocheting over the cross bar. U Q A M got their only goal on a free kick, as a ball going around the wall w as knocked out on a well-executed dive by M c G ill goalie P au l Desbarats. Jules Roulez, seeing the opportunity, knocked it into the upper right hand
corner. r a ir m
Apparently, it was the night fo r the M c G ill rookies to shine. A s M c G ill’s veteran scoring sensation G rah am But cher failed to produce, rookie Louis Konstantoupoulos netted a narrow angle grounder which scraped past several bodies on the way. Five minutes later, with five seconds to go in the game, freshman Prancesco Stropetti rifled a shot from the thirty, which bounced o f f the right post and into the net to the chagrin o f U Q A M . UQAM m ust be c o m m e n d e d , however. A lth ou gh M c G ill was not playing to their full potential, the gam e was much m ore exciting than the previous matches against Sherbrooke and last place Bishop’s. A lth ough this is the first season o f existence fo r Le Soccer C lu b, it appears that they will finish third in the Q U A A , behind M c G ill and C oncordia.
