Biological Executive IgnoresASUS by Adeeb Khalid A committee formed by the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) last month to review credentials of its departmental associations has run into a wall of silence in the case of the M cGill Biological Students' Union (MBSU). David Gibson, ASUS president, says, "I don't even know who the persons who call themselves the MBSU are. We haven't been approached by them at all. Apparently, it is too much of a bother for the people who are running the association to come and talk to us." The ASUS constitution requires it to
grant funding to departmental associa tions it recognizes at the rate of four dollars for every student enrolled in a majors program in the department. This year, ASUS made recognition condi tional on a review of last year's election results and budgets of individual associations. So far, MBSU has neither attended ASUS meetings nor made a budget application. Gibson is worried on two accounts. " If MBSU does not ask for the money that rightfully belongs to biology students, it is the students who are be ing penalized," he said. "And their lack
of participation defeats the whole aim (of this year's ASUS) of restructuring grassroots participation in the two faculties. "This reluctance of the MBSU ex ecutive to divulge information could be because there were no elections last year, but we don't know anything for sure," Gibson said. The situation is complicated by the fact that MBSU is responsible for operating the cafeteria in the Stewart Biology building. If ASUS refuses recognition to MBSU, the legal situation concerning the cafeteria contract could
become very murky. MBSU president Jamal Mahdavian sees things rather differently. "W e don't have any problems with ASUS at a ll," he said. According to him, the problem is one of poor communications. "U p here on the hill, we don’t often have too much to do with ASUS. All we have received from them this year are a few letters. "O u r experience is that the ASUS doesn't do a heck of alot for us. Last year, MBSU took the intiative in publishing course evaluations but in September w e . received only four
copies of the document from ASUS which is far from sufficient for a large department like ours," Mahdavian said. He however, admitted that he had not attended any meetings of the ASUS president's council this year. Gibson, however, contends that "It is departmental associations that work through the ASUS, not the other way round. W e (the ASUS) are under no obligation to go looking for associa tions." A departmental association has to be recognized by the ASUS to func tion constitutionally and be eligible for continued on page 2

Senate Favo u rs Im m ed iate Divestment by Sophie Wilson Last W ed n esd ay, S e n a te demonstrated its nearly unanimous sup port for M cGill's divestment from cor porations with investments in South Africa. Support for divestment came in the form of a 47-2-1 vote in favour of a resolution recommending "that the Board of Governors immediately divest M cGill University of all financial holdings in corporations, including fin a n c ia l in stitu tio n s, having in vestments in the Republic of South Africa." The Board of Governors, comprised of professors, students, university ad ministrators, and 'eminent persons' from the community, acts as the supreme decision-making body at M cGill. As an effective method for censuring the apartheid system, divestment itself remained virtually unchallenged at the Senate meeting. Debate hinged rather on the wording to be used in the message Senate sent to BoG. Two amendments were offered to water down the strength of the resolu tion proposed by Senators Mark Warner and Lilani Kumaranayake, both undergraduate Arts students. VicePrincipal Freedman suggested replacing the words "immediately divest" with "continue the orderly divestment of" M cG ill University. Senator Gretta Chambers also a BoG member, later of fered "im m ediately undertake the
orderly divestment by M cGill Universi ty", as amendment to the initial wor ding. Warner saw Freedman's amendment as simply telling BoG that "they're do ing a good jo b ". BoG has ordered M cGill divestment from three South Africa-related companies in the last four years. Said Warner, "Divesting from two, maybe three, corporations is not continual divestment." Appearing unsure of the strength of support they had, W arner and K u m aran ayake ch o se to accep t Chamber's wording as a friendly amendment to their resolution. M cGill investments in South Africa related corporations are estimated to be around $45 million, approximately one quarter of M cGill's financial portfolio. Thus M cGill receives about $4 million per year from South Africa related in vestment. Although much of the impetus for the current drive for divestment has come from the students at M cGill, a surprising number of professors spoke out in favour of relieving M cGill of its $4 million income "recruited on the basis of the apartheid system", as Professor John Crawhall described it at Wednes day's Senate meeting. Professor Samuel Noumoff, speaking after Crawhall, noted that "the other thing that concerns us is that we may lose some money". Reasoning that M cGill stood to gain "$4 milion, or the respea of ourselves", Noumoff propos
ed a return to the original wording of the divestment resolution. In order to say anything, Noumoff declared, one must "say it direaly, and say it simply." Several other members of Senate spoke for the virtue of simplicity and direaness, and ultimately, the original w o rd in g of W a r n e r 's and Kumarnayake's resolution was adopted by Senate. The Senate recommendation was the last manifestation of growing anti apartheid sentiment on campus, which culminated yesterday in the decision of the Board of Governors to go ahead with divestment. The Board was voting on Student Governor Amy Kaler's mo tion calling for immediate and total divestment from South Africa-related companies. Nathan Moss, BoG secretary, told the Tribune that BoG decisions have "very seldom" gone against Senate recom mendations. The only time Moss could remember such a BoG-Senate split occuring was the recent BoG decision to ratify Daily fee increases.
McGill Divests
by Jenny Henderson At the corner of St. Laurent and Pine streets, in the heart of Montreal's ethnic community, the foundation of a new fast food centre is sprouting up amidst the concern and disapproval of some area businesses. Indeed the graffitti sprayed on the fence surrounding the construction site which reads "N O BURGERS HERE!” is no Welcome sign. The two-storey building will have space for ten fast-food restaurants on the ground floor, with parking space outside. The second floor will be a mez zanine of dining space to accomodate overflow from the first floor. "The restaurants will probably be chains, resembling food outlets at Les Terrasses and 2020 University," said David Pressman, the architect of the project. He also observed that the choice of restaurants on St. Laurent is limited and that the fast food fair "may prove to be a very good thing." However, owners of established restaurants in the area have different ex pectations. Fernando Castanheira is the owner of two ethnic barbeque-style restaurants on the same block of St. Laurent: Coco Rico and Jano. He has been operating these businesses for fifteen years and maintains that the new competion is right neither for the special multi cultural character of St. Laurent nor for its economy. "St. Laurent is known as one of Mon treal's few remaining truly ethnic streets. The shops and restaurants offer spécialités of the original immigrants which are made on the spot. People will stop coming to the street if it becomes
the same as every other street in the ci ty," he said. As a landowner in the St. Laurent area, Castanheira foresees a resulting hike in rental prices of commercial space. "Food prices will go up too; everything will be affected indirectly," he said. Castenheira also said that his customers had expressed displeasure at the imposition of a fast food fair. He ad ded that this type of business was better suited to the area south of Sherbrooke. Other restaurant owners in the area seemed confident that their clientele would not be lost to the new fast food c e n tr e . T h e s e , h o w e v e r, w e re re s ta u ra n ts of a d iffe re n t class—nouveau cuisine and café-bars, for example, whose clientele generally pass over fast food. John Gardner, city councillor of an adjacent distria, is sympathetic to com plaints and agrees that the new fast food centre "should be objected to." He pointed out that the shops will not be compatible with the architeaural character of the street. St. Laurent is uni q u e th at a ll the sh op s h ave storefronts on the sidewalk and the food center will clash with the uniformity. "There are architectural controls which are not being exercised here," he said. It is difficult to preserve the cultural mosaic of streets like St. Laurent. This fast food centre is sprouting up in a time when different parts of Montreal are be ing renovated and remodelled by a surge of Yuppie expansionism. And who could be a more ideal Yuppie than a 1958 M cGill alumnus, architect of our next hamburger stand?

Towards this end, he and the External Affairs Committee are holding open meetings every Friday afternoon. This is only one of a number of tactics Joli-Coeur is taking to increase participation in External Affairs. Says Joli-Coeur, " I have anumber of goals for myself as V .P. External. First of all, I want to have a core group of peo ple involved in External Affairs and I believe this has already been achieved. Furthermore I'd like to have a research and documentation centre on past and present external affairs at M cGill. M cGill. Joli-Coeur hopes that this centre will contribute to a better understanding by M cGill students of External Affairs Issues. "I want greater awareness of

these issues by students as well as the outside media. Then there would be a better chance that education issues will be given greater attention by the media. Basically I'm working towards greater awareness of M cGill External Affairs by the public." What is more, Joli-Coeur wishes to distribute a periodic bulletin about his portfolio to all student councillors, faculty associations, the media, other universities and various government ministries. "The first bulletin should be ready in a couple of weeks," said joli Coeur. Currently the six-member External Af fairs Committee is working on the passage by Students' Council of a number of policy resolutions. These policies deal with 3 areas: loans and bursaries, international students, and
funding. Asked why his association had not made a budget application this year, Mahdavian said, "W e have had some money left over from last year which has been sufficient for our purposes this year so far because the activities we organize do not require money. I'll go down to the ASUS in the near future when we want more money. The question of the Stewart biology C a fe te ria re m ain s.

"At the moment, there are no checks on who pockets the money because as far as we are concerned, the MBSU does not exist," he said. Gibson was reluctant to speculate on any steps that ASUS might take on the matter. "W e don't want to take a very adversarial position over the matter and I hope the matter could be resolved without resort to any extreme action," he said.

McGill, Avec Johnson by Marc Wills "Montreal has to keep its French face," street and store signs Will be in French, asserted Quebec Premier and Parti Québécois leader Pierre Marc Johnson last Tuesday in a one-hour en counter with McGill students. Speaking to a large and lively crowd in a jam-packed Frank Dawson Adahrs Auditorium, Premier Johnson offered his own vision of Quebec's past and future and took shots at Liberal leader Robert Bourassa, his principal opponent in the December 2 elections. Johnson came in from the cold and slick 45 minutes behind schedule and was greeted by a thunder of applause, hoots and heckles. But the premier quickly subdued the assembly of 500 people with quick comebacks and a lucid style that brings to mind former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Johnson ventured forth with some opening remarks in French, prompting jeers from a few in the crowd. "I thought things had changed in the past ten years, most English Quebeckers understand a bit of French," responded Johnson grinning slyly. The growing number of Francophone students at McGill (25% of the student population) was pointed out and the rest of the ses sion took place in French and English.

Antiby Michael Smart As the flames of the anti-apartheid movement blow higher across campus, one aspect of the issue seems to have cooled to an ember. Although Students' Society has officially endorsed a ban on the sale of South African goods in the Union Building, those products are still available in Gert's and at Sadies. The boycott policy was approved by Students' Council at its September 26 meeting and applied to products of companies which are South African owned or controlled. However, Carling O'Keefe beer and Rothman's cigarettes, which are generally considered to be South African products, are still on sale at StudSoc outlets. StudSoc President James Green ex plains that the delay is not a result of any reluctance on his part to effect the policy, but rather simply "a matter of
Johnson acknowledged that the Parti Québécois' 1977 language law, Bill 101, was "tough to swallow for many people" and "that it did bring effective ly the migration" of many AngloQuebeckers. But he maintained that the bill was necessary to combat a high
level of assimilation among fran cophones and that the social climate since then has been more peaceful than in the 1960's and 1970's. "Your generation does not see these tensions (between the French and English) as much as m ine," said the sauve premier. . The 39-year-old Johnson explained that when he was in school "political action meant going to M urray's Restaurant, asking for 'un café s'il vous plaît'," being served in English and leav ing a French-English dictionary as a tip." The premier insisted that anyone that lives in the province is of "the people of Quebec" and that Quebec is a "tolerant and open-minded society but different from the rest of the continent." Johnson said Quebec is the only viable place for francophone expression in North America. "Montreal has to keep its 'visage français'," declared the premier. In asking Johnson to make clear whether he is a federalist or a separatist, one student accused the premier of be ing an electoral messiah for his party but a Judas to its goal of independence for Quebec. Mr. Johnson, who had supported the shelving of the sovereignty-association platform at a PQ convention last January, was visibly amused and somewhat flustered by this dramatic flourish. He explained that the 1980 referendum results and the patriation of the Canadian constitution required the putting aside of the sovereignty issue. Independence remains an eventual goal
Boycott Delayed time" in completing the paperwork of the embargo. Green said he had asked South Africa Committee Co-ordinator Nigel Crawhall to write to the affected companies to in form them of the ban. He said he wants to give the companies an opportunity to respond to charges that they benefit from apartheid. Crawhall stated that "w e have to pro ve that these products fall into that realm. James (Green) feels that this is a question of fair play - and I agree." He said that he had only written to the companies two weeks ago, and if they don't respond, he w ill take action in December. The ban "w ill certainly be in effect by the beginning of next semester," he said. Green said he was unaware that the campus pub was selling Carling
O'Keefe brands at lower prices than normal. He said he did not know if this had been a deliberate attempt to deplete inventories of the offending pro ducts before the ban was put in place. But he said "that seems fair enough. They're innocent until proven guilty.” An employee of Les Services Alimen taires CVC, the management firm which operates the pubs, said that the sales were part of a promotional arrangement worked out with all major breweries. He said the promotion had been going on since the beginning of the year. Green was also unsure what would happen to outstanding stocks of the goods once the boycott was officially in effect. He said he was inclined to let CVC sell off what it has and "just tell them they can't buy any more." W hen asked about the issue, Crawhall said he would not be in favour
of letting sales go on past the official deadline, but said he hadn't discussed the matter with the Executive. Despite the delays in the boycott, Crawhall maintains that the anti apartheid movement is faring better at M cGill than at other Canadian univer sities. "W e're way out in front," he said. "U of T Board of Governors voted for par tial divestment," but that was based on the federal government's code of con duct for companies dealing with South A frica, which is "vo luntary and unverifiable." He said M cGill's movement was more advanced in part because it is far m ore in flu e n c e d by su cce ssfu l American activists. "Canadian unity w ill c o m e ," he said. "B u t the Americans moved first."
External Affairs continued from page 2 Most notable among the resolutions is the proposal that "foreign students while on visa should be allowed to work in any area related to their studies" and that "tuition fees should be abolished for students coming from developing countries.." Other proposals include providing "students from lower income families with substantial bursaries to encourage them to go to university." Furthermore, the committee believes that "expen diture for education should be increas ed to be a greater portion of the provin cial GNP. This portion should be com parable to what is spent in the United States..." If this package of policy proposals are passed by C o u n cil on Thursday November 21 then Joli-Coeur says that he and his committee will begin lobby ing the provincial government to comp ly with these policy suggestions. The plan of action includes a press con ference and a promotion campaign on campus and off campus. Joli-Coeur plans on putting pressure on candidates to discuss education issues prion to the
ecember 2 election. "W e hope to hold a debate between Claude-Ryan, the Liberal Education Critic and the current Minister of Educa tion, Mr. Rodrique. W e even have ideas for television commercials," said Joli Coeur. Another issue that Joli-Coeur is work ing on presently is the budget cuts ofthe So cial Scien ces and H um anities Research Council (SSHRQ. StudSoc and PGSS (the Post-Graduate Students' Society) organized a meeting on November 14 at Thompson House, where concerned students were able to voice their opinions and suggestions for dealing with this situation. Joli Coeur further elaborated in this way, "W e're looking at how to raise funds and how to protest against the budget cuts. One way, for instance is to get people to send postcards and letters to their Members of Parliament, and to the Minister of Education in Ottawa. Joli-Coeur also worked with students on the South Africa Committtee in the organization of yesterday's rally in front of the Administration Building and boycotting of classes by students and professors.
in the minds and hearts of many Quebeckers but it cannot come about without the support of the majority, said Johnson. The PQ leader, a lawyer and doctor by training, skirted a question put to him on university education. He ex plained that financial constraints limit the number of foreign students in Quebec universities and expressed "the necessity... to review the system of university fdnding." Premier Johnson, MNA for the eastend Montreal riding of Anjou since 1976, marked off employment as "the real challenge" for his government. He revealed that there are "no magical recipes" for job creation and derided Mr. Bourassa's promises as "hogwash". Throughout his address Johnson sought to portray himself as the face of change, the man suited to the times, and implied that the Bourassa of 1985 is the same as that of 1976. Johnson sees freer trade with the United States and the voluntary regrouping of resources by small and medium-sized businesses, which he cited as providing 80% of jobs in the province, as important steps towards fuller employment. Johnson said that Q u eb ec is economically better off today than it was in 1976 when Liberal leader Bourassa was defeated after six years as premier. Johnson held up the Olympic Stadium "$1 billion in cement", as an example of Bourassa's management abilities. The premier dismissed as "rainbow chasing" Bourassa's plans for another James Bay hydro project. Johnson main tained that a deal currently being negotiated for the sale of 2,000 to 4,000 ' megawatts is preferable to Bourassa's desire for a 12,000 megawatt project, power which might prove difficult to sell. "That's called a good management of our resources," said Johnson. Johnson displayed in his remarks a disarming confidence that indicates in part why the Parti Québécois has chosen to build its campaign almost ex clusively around its new leader. Charges that Mr. Johnson is hiding his party from the electorate seemed somehow substantiated by the muted presence of Arlindo Vieira, the PQ can didate in the local riding of St-Louis, who stood behind his leader throughout the speech, applauded at all the right moments but remained unintroduced to the crowd. Before succeeding René Levesque this fall as premier and leader ofthe PQ, Mr. Johnson had been successively Minister of Labour, Social Affairs and of Justice. Mr. Johnson's father, Daniel Johnson, headed the Union Nationale in the 1960's and was premier of Quebec from 1966 until his death in 1968. Pierre Marc Johnson's brother, Daniel, is a Liberal MNA.

Fear and Loathing at Concordia by Mike Duffy In Nineteen Eighty-four (the book, not the motion picture) Winston Smith wakes up one morning with the word “ Shakespeare" on the tip of his Victory Cin-sogged tongue. Exit the poor bastard shortly thereafter. It's not going to be a good day: I wake up with the words “ Ken Kesey" on my lips. Kesey's the one who said, “ It's all true anyway, even if it didn't happen." 11:30. I'm supposed to be at the Hall Building, Concordia in half an hour, but I'm flat on my back, smoking a Winston. The urge to crawl deeper into bed in a foetal position seizes me like a mescal dragon. I manage to fight it off with a few sips of beer. But I stay in bed anyway. I'm just not emotionally prepared for breakfast. I've still got to get up. Hunter S. Thompson, writer, Gonzo journalist for Rolling Stone (King Gonzo in a manner of speaking), “ nice guy and athlete", will be speaking at Concordia. I can't miss the biggest news story since the Mint 400 motorcycle race, the biggest sports event since they built Cheops' pyramid. So I find and pick up the phone from under a pile of stand-at-attention stiff clothes, and I call my editor. I tell him talk to Mel Clulow, the office money lady, for me; I have a request for $500. No way am I going to cover "U n cle Duke" straight I tell him. I need chemical stimuli. He turns me down, I call him a swine and slam down the phone. A couple of minutes later he calls back and offers me his Diners Club card which I greedily accept. I'm off. The

sun's out and the streets are wet and turgid with city snow—all the damned people on the bus. 11:45. I think: don't these heinous bastards have jobs? In between the bus and the metro, I pick up some Mars bars and priest's vestments. Both will come in handy at Concordia. I've waited a long time to see Hunter S. Thompson, "the Pierre Salinger of public sex in Am erica" in his own words. In terms of "neo-relevant" details, what is there to say about one of the few Americans extant who could aspire as a child not merely to grow up to be a fireman or president but a "cartoon character, like LiP Abner"? W ell, he's a failed politician, Rolling Stone national affairs reporter and sworn enemy of everyone's favourite Quaker, Tricky Dick Milhous Nixon. This atavistic native of Kentucky once ran for sheriff of Aspen, Colorado on the "Aspen Freak Power" ticket, losing nar rowly. All this before he became a cen trepiece in "Doonsebury". He's currently living in Woody Creek, Colorado (the Camp David of the Acid Kool-Aid Test Generation), raising peacocks and doberman pinchers. His most recent accomplishment was his failure to file a story on the American invasion of Grenada because he "got tired of it". 11:59. I arrive at the Hall Building. It's an example of what happened to ar chitecture when it became both monolithic and Blauhaus. Stephanie Hedley-Smith, my shrink, is there, waiting for me. She's got the Diners Club card and a six pack of Coke, Classic. Texas tea, Sudi soda. W e go into the auditorium, take a back seat and sip on Coke. W e'll be round the bend soon.

Legal Time For Peace by Susan Pearson "Hope in the nuclear age" was the theme of the conference of the Health Professonals for Nuclear Responsibility held at M cGill University last weekend, which drew a number of prominent Canadian representatives of the peace movement. The theme of the conference was op timism and the call for action from a growing public conscience as a step away from the "psychic numbing" that has been the effect of the threat of mutual assured destruction in the arms race. The aim of the conference was to point out-small changes that have taken place in the political and diplomatic realm of the arms race. An organizer of the conference, Harvey Giesbrecht, said his group wanted to emphasize "w e 've come along way in the movement from medical causes of nuclear war — from a valid vision of nuclear diaster — to focus on saying we can't function if we dwell on only that aspect of the problem. Hope comes from the feeling there are small changes." From the response of last weekend's 300 participants (comprised of lawyers, students, health care workers and physi cians) he felt the conference achieved
the objective of giving people the idea that there is hope. The speakers proposed an ideology of action and public participation in various sessions which covered topics such as psychological aspects of the nuclear age, civil disobedience and disarmament activism, peace educa tion, the legal process and technology in the peace movement. In a panel discussion entitled "The Legal Process — Moving towards peace," the discussants' consensus was that the government will not lead the way in the peace movement. Lawyers encouraged the use of the law and the courts to further grass-roots opposition to nuclear weaponry. "The legal time for peace has com e," stated M cGill Professor of Law Irwin Cotier, whereas formerly the issue was inappropriate for resolution in the courts. "A growing public conscience (on peace issues) has impressed itself on the courts and thus lawyers have to fulfill their social responsibility." Cotier stressed the value of public opinion and consciousness in en couraging legal professionals to recognise their public reponsiblity. He also deplored "domestic fallout" in peace law, citing the chiling effect o f
struggle to maintain. 12:1.0. Two hours of Q & A. The pro blem is you need good questions to get good answers. The pick of the lot: Nixon will be the next president says Thompson, "a shrewd and accurate political analyst." "I would not recommend the use of acid by anyone other than by qualified people." "H o w has the change in the media af fected your writing?" The Westmoreland (vs. CBS) case: “ W e (journalists) all about whacked on that one." On G a ry T ru d e a u and "D o o nesbury": "I'm ashamed for Trudeau's parents. All he learned after four years at Yale was how to steal other people's w ork." A well-coiffed anarchist journalist in coveralls asks "H o w long do you think you can get away with being racist and sexist?...Don't you think you are a plaything of the system rather than its opponent?" A fine question despite his sartorial disadvantage. Says T h o m p so n in re sp o n se , "perhaps, but no... W e should all speak out, and do what we can... I believe we are able to govern ourselves." Shortly after insulting the entire province of Québec (who'll win the provincial elec tion?..."som e wine-soaked frog." The man is offensive), Thompson refuses to rule out accepting a place on a ticket of a revived Rhino Party. "I don't envy you having to write this story." says my shrink. "I believe what goes around comes around. I'm a Buddhist essentially. I try to work on the Basis of Karma." says Thompson. 2:10. The audience is starting to look like the reptile house. The air seems fill ed with gills, scales and the colour Green. My shrink and I leave, retreating to the Alley for a session of heavy note taking and heavy, heavy drinking. Not bad for a guy with a heart condi tion. As for the rest of you, you'd do well to keep Kesey in mind.
the Official Secrets Act on freedom of speech and the guarding of civil liber ties in the case of the Canadian uranium cartel in the 1970's. The conference closed with a lecture by Linus Pauling, a recipient of Nobel prizes for Peace and Chemistry. Pauling made a plea for a decrease in the military budget for the two super powers, -observing that the money put into the arms race was bankrupting the US & USSR morally and spiritually, as well as economically. Money wasted on nuclear arms is wasted money around the world, he observed. "W e exist to cooperate, to solve problems (such as) small wars, maldistribution of world wealth, and malnutrition — we should solve it on a world-wide basis, not on building in creasingly complicated weapons on the basis of insane values." Giesbrecht noted the importance of the conference, as "w e rarely organize meetings with this number of people — it is difficult to mobilize them in large numbers and the budget is enormous. Peacemakers get a few bucks while the military gets millions a day to operate on. A small percentage of the Canadian government budget goes towards the peace movement and that's something that needs to be worked o n."

Ballad of the Sad Café Melodic by Claire Jackson On a hot August afternoon in a town with a "miserable main street only a hundred yards long... There is nothing whatever to do...There is heat and silence." So says the narrator at the opening of "The Ballad of the Sad Café" adapted by Edwars Albee from Carson McCullers' novella of the same name. The play concerns a tough, laconic young woman, Miss Amelia, who to relieve her loneliness becomes involved in a love triangle. W hile she is com forted by her cousin Lymon, a beadyeyed dwarf, she is also loved by a reformed womanizer named Marvin Macy. Yet Miss Amelia remains lonely and isolated as do the odd assortment of townspeople who regularly gather at the café. The loneliness and isolation so central to the play is beautifully con veyed by the exquisite set, delicate and eerie music, and the pacing of the ac tion and dialogue. Although a few of the minor roles were played flatly as caricatures’ some of the acting was superb. Dawn Roach as the narrator tells the story well. Her subtle and dignified gestures, poetic speech, and posture are rich in feeling and meaning. She will stretch a vowel in one word, use a pause as a magicaf moment, or sing half of a sentence to create a truly memorable speech.
Cousin Lymon was played by Nadia Guglieri who successfully whined, stut tered, and limped her way through the play. Her energy and concentration were remarkable. Cousin Lymon was fascinating to watch as he developed from a shy, pathetic creature to a bold and pushy little man. In one scene he begs Miss Amelia to give him her kidney stones which he found in her curio cabinet. He dashes about the front porch rattling the little box of stones, his dark eyes pleading with her as he smiles mischieviously. Mark Boghen as Henry Macy also contributed to a wonderful perfor mance. His movements and speech came close to being caricatures but were never overdone. Although Henry was often comic with his stiff posture, drawn face, and buttoned-up collar, Mark Boghen played him so well that the audience was also able to sym pathize with him. For example when Miss Amelia threatens "I gonna get your brother, Henry," Henry pauses, looks to the ground, and replies flatly, "A ll right." The momemt is both hilarious, pathetic and just delightful. Susan Smith as Miss Amelia had some problems finding a balance between the gruff and compassionate elements in her character. Although she had some fine moments, her minimal dialogue re quired that she be carefully directed to
emphasize her longing for someone to love. Unfortunatley this direction was sadly lacking. Even so, Susan Smith's performance was very enjoyable. The sombre mood of the play was well projected throught the set, lighting, and costum es designed by Don McEwen and the original music by Paul Keenan. Miss Amelia's house was rather dark and uncluttered. Bottles of golden peach preserves and dark liquor lined the wooden shelves ready to be sold to anyone who could "get their money up." Significantly, only a hint of Miss Amelia's femininity adorned her home in the form of an old flowered table cloth. Not only did the set look natural ly weathered and lived in but it provid ed an intimate atmosphere for the ac tors. Intimacy is difficult to create in a space as large as Moyse Hall and in this regard McEwan did an excellent job. Also notable were McEwan's drab col oured costumes which fit perfectly with his set as well as his expressive lighting design. Paul Keenan's music often floated into the scenes to enhance the feelings of lonliness. So apt was his meandering melody that it seemed to be another character drifing on stage with the others. There were some beautiful moments in this play. Together, the drab colours of a dusty small town, slow rhythm of the music, the dialogue and the strange
yet endearing characters created a wonderful show. One was left with an overwhelming feeling of isolation and stagnation which hung over a town where there was only "heat and silence.”
"The Ballad of the Sad Café" plays at Moyse Hall from November 13-16 and 20-23. Tickets may be bought at Sadies Box Office at 3480 McTavish Street or at the door.

Travelling The Jazz Circuit by Megan Doyle With the success and the rapid inter national recognition of the Montreal Jazz Festival, this city is quickly regain ing its old status as one of North America's great jazz centres. Mon trealers are starting to demand good jazz all year round instead of for a limited time during the summer mon ths. There are some bars who are doing a fine job of catering to this crowd. Start with L'Ai r de Temps, at 191 St. Paul St. in Old Montreal, because I think it may well be the most perfect jazz bar in Montréal. The bar is decorated in an intimate fashion with old stone and a lot of wood, and is dim ly lit with candles. Perhaps it is for this
reason the audience is made up mainly of couples. On a Friday or Saturday it is good idea to get there early. The bar features guest performers, and also has a house band, the Guy Nadon Quartet, which plays every Sunday, Monday, and T u e s d a y . T h e cro w d and employees are mainly French, so be prepared to say "Biere, s'il vous plait." The drinks are more expensive than average. A beer is $2.75 and a real drink is $4.50. You can also expect to pay a cover charge. Perhaps the furthest thing from the very trendy L'Air de Temps is Café Prag at 1433 Bishop St. This painfully tacky Austrian setting is one of the only places to hear live dixieland jazz. The Jazz Knights (all of whom may well have

been in New Orleans at the beginning of this century) play every Friday night beginning at 9 p.m. The place is half packed with regulars shouting out song requests and even helping the band with the words to "Basin Street Blues." It may wel I be the only place on Bishop St. where you can see a white-haired person. There is no cover charge, but the drinks aren't much cheaper than L'Air de Temps. The café also features "the hearty kit chen of the Austrian Empire." It's a great place to go if you appreciate dix ieland and the blue rinse set. A standard place for jazz, and close to M cGill, is Biddles Jazz n' Ribs on Aylmer near Sherbrooke. It features Charlie Biddles, bass fiddle player, band leader, restaurant owner, and allaround good host. On Friday and Saturday nights a guest or two is featured. Often, well known artists playing elsewhere in town will drop by to play with Charlie. Dizzy Gillespie did this when he was playing at the Rising Sun two years ago. Biddles serves a rather limited menu of chicken aq,d ribs ranging from main courses to cocktail snacks. The kitchen is open till 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and there is a minimum charge of $6.50 per person for food or drinks. There is no cover charge, but you must pay a dollar to check your coat. The main focus is the bandstand, but there is plenty of room for background chatting. If you ever bother to venture to St. Denis in the winter when you can't sit outside on the patios and drink in the afternoon sun, you should go into Le Grand Café at 1720 St. Denis. It calls itself a 'jazz' bar, but features very con temporary electric sounding jazz. The music room is separate from the rest of

Zen Fails to Inspire by Yvette Lang The premise of Centaur Theatre's latest production "The Zen of an In telligent Machine" is a promising one. A computer whiz living in Silicon Valley, California, develops a system of a rt ific ia l in te llig e n c e and then transplants it into a Frankenstein-like human form. Victor, the creator is a typical romantic who desperately wishes to make an innocent being and then educate him in the finest ways. Yet this intriguing premise evolves into a voluminous and sprawling plot involv ing stereotyped characters who fail to engage the interest of the audience. There are several problems with the play itself. "The Zen of an Intelligent Machine" is W illiam 's Kuhn's first play, and in his eagerness he undermines a potentially intense theatrical experience by attempted to address too many issues. Case in point, Victor and his friend Laszlo discuss at length their plans to construct a being fitted with an "organic computer" for a brain. The dialogue is weighty and the action drags before the creation is finally perfected. Much of this "shop talk" should have been cut so that the play could concen trate on one or two relevant issues such as the ethics behind artificial in telligence. The play touches on the tensions bet ween the two men, between Victor and his girlfriend, and between the creator and his creation. Central to these dialogues are issues of morality, love, and knowledge, yet none of these issues or relationships is explored extensively. More annoying is the failure on the part of the playwright and director to clearly explain the Zen element in the play. Although Victor is shown meditating and discussing some Zen philosophy, the ideas are vague and incomprehensi b le . T h is is u n fo rtu n a te . T h e philosophical, moral and scientific elements could have been better presented to raise some truly pro vocative questions aobut artifical in telligence. Another problem with the play is the unnecessary stream of technical jargon which flow incessantly from the mouths of the characters. As a result, the au dience is unable to understand the basis for the technological developments. Thus when the creature is created the audience is left unimpressed.
The stereotyped characters also fail to involved the audience. Once again we see the "odd couple” friendship. Victor is the romantic visionary while Laszlo is the hokey, practical figure. In addition, the girlfriend is the quintessential "sup portive type" who unable to unders tand Victor's quest. Naturally with these Stereotyped ch aracte rs and the unnecessary technical lingo, the actors must struggle to give life to their roles. Unfortunately their attempts are, for the most part inef fective. For example, Andrew Thomp son as Laszlo is always moving, playing pinball or basketball w h ile'he speaks and it just does not make sense. Not on ly do his actions fail to relate to his words but they also detract attention from what he says. More over, it is difficult to believe that Victor Ertmanis as Victor or Amanda Hancox as Polly actually feel that what they are saying is true. When Polly sees Victor's creation for the first time she is vaguely astounded. Her casual surprise is truly unconvincing. John N ovak, as the creatio n , however, did contribute a genuine per formance. His eloquent delivery and gentle yet meaningful movements worked to create a real character who engaged audience sympathy. In the course of his education, for example, the created being is confused about the English language. He smiles a little, tilts his head and asks Victor in a sincere tone, "H o w can it be good to write words that say I do not have the words?". Provocative and intimate moments like this, however, are rare. More impressive than the acting is the striking multi-level set, designed by Guido Tondino. It includes beautiful woodwork, as well as richly speckled imitation stone walls. In addition, lush plant growth and a small waterfall in the background enhance the poetic and romantic elements that the actors strug gled to suggest in the play. Yet, the set and rare moments of genuine tension and feeling in the play did not make up for the stereotyped c h a ra cte rs, awkward plot, and bulky dialogue. This is truly unfortunate because the play touched on some interesting issues. "The Zen of an Intelligent Machine' plays at Centaur Theatre through December 22. Tickets may be reserved by calling the box office at 288-3161.

Love And Rockets Take O ff by Rollin L.T. Milroy When a group of musicians work well together they may take breaks to go off on their own, but they always works together again sometime. Such is the case with the debut release from Love and Rockets, Seventh Dream O f A Teenage Heaven, which has brought together three-quarters of Bauhaus after a two year hiatus. Upon the dissolution of Bauhaus in 1983, bassist David J went in search of a solo career that has produced several recordings, Guitarist Daniel Ash and drummer Kevin Haskins formed Tones on Tail and released two albums (one in C a n a d a ). (Sin-ger Peter M urphy wandered off in search of Dali's Car.) The first three m usicians have regrouped and created a record that is a logical progression from Bauhaus and their solo efforts. I managed to get things bass-ackwards, and the first thing I heard from them was 'If There's A Heaven Above', which was released on a label sampler last summer. A good song, but not really representative of the album that was to come. 'Ball of Confusion', which was the first thing most people heard from Love and Rockas, is also not really represen♦ative of the album. In fact, it is not even
on the European releases. As most peo ple know, the song is a cover of a 1970's Temptations song, but the band says it is still relevant. The band thinks the sound of SDOATH is a result of the 1960's psychedelia that they have listened to "since we were nippers." The European sleeve exhibits this influence much more than the North American one, the inside presenting a bizarre collage of •planets, Greek statues, and chess boards. Some people have said Love and Rockets are not as doom and gloom as Bauhaus or Tones on Tail, but I do not think this is entirely accurate. A better description of Love and Rockets would be an honest representation of how these guys see things, and their view is no more cynical than anyone who has grown up in a city larger than Ottawa. Neither is it all coming up roses — these guys have very disenchanted opinions of parts of society, especially religion. None of the songs on this album are bad, but some are so good they over shadow the others. 'Haunted When The Minutes Drag' and 'The Dog-End Of A Day Gone By' are so powerful and so -different from anything that has been or
w ill be released this yçar, that it w ould be very d ifficu lt to WFtFe a w hole album this good. I do not mean to infer that some of the songs are not good — this is a great album. 'Saudade' and 'A Private Future' are excellent blends of the raw power and subdued artistry these musicians are capable of. It is just that they out-do themselves on a couple of tracks. One of the most interesting aspects of the Love and Rockets album is that although the intensity and impact of the music is so great, it is actually made by very few instruments at any one time. A good example is 'Saudade', an in strumental performed on bass, acoustic guitar, and very simple keyboards. The song builds to a terrific crescendo (okay, there's some electric guitar here), making it difficult to believe it is just these three guys creating this wall of sound. This is definitely The album to buy this year. Love and Rockets is definitely The band to see this year, so be at the Spectrum on Nov. 27 or be a trapezoid.

Brownballers Barely Bounce Bishop's by Pete Nelson The M cGill basketball Redmert beat the Bishop's Gaiters at home 72 to 70 last Tuesday in the opening game of their 1985-86 season. The team's play can best be described as erratic as they barely edged a Gaiter team that, to use a charitable phrase, is ''rebuilding''. Throughout the game the Redmen took leads of up to 10 points only to see them vanish due to inconsistent defence. M cGill was not sharp at all defensively and that, combined with hitting a woeful 32% of their shots in the first half, made the victory much harder than it should have been. Redmen Pat Arsenault and Simon O n a b o w a le had sto n g g a m e s. Arsenault, who is making a good transi tion from the post position to the perimeter, had 18 points, while Onabowale scored 16. The team also benefited greatly from Claude Brière's on court leadership. M cGill subbed frequently in the game, possibly because the starters were fatigued from 9 straight days of ac tivity. Al Israel and Owen Roberts both
played well coming off the bench, a good sign for M cGill. Redmen coach Ken Schildroth had mixed feelings about his team's play. "W e're definitely going to have to im prove our perimeter shooting," he said. One of the strengths of this year's Redmen squad is supposedly superior outside shooting, something they have failed to demonstrate thus far. But Schildroth also pointed to other factors including the team's overall fatigue and the fact that the season has just begun. He added that the Redmen's problems stemmed from that they couldn't hit the open shots, not that those shots weren't there. M cGill takes an archrival Concordia tonight at Concordia. The Stingers who beat M cGill by 10 points during the Redmen Invitational Basketball Tourna ment, has a strong, physical team that could cause the Redmen problems, especially on the inside. McGill will have to exploit their superior quickness and force the Stingers to play uptempo. They'll also have to put together a better defensive effort and try to control Con

Red Hoes Lose in T.R. by Harry Guy The M cGill hockey Redmen lost to Trois Rivieres (UQTR) 6-3 on Friday night. The Redmen opened the game with a roar, as goals by Alain Robichaud, Mark Reade and Denis Barette staked the good guys to a 3-0 lead at the end of the first period. UQ TR stormed back in front of their home fans and, with the help of some violent tactics, scored 6 unanswered goals to bury M cGill for the evening. Shots on net were 33-32 in M cGill's favour, but the goals weren't coming. The loss evens M cGill's record at 2-2, and the team currently stands third. 6 points behind Q U A A leaders the Ot tawa Gee-Gees.

The 1st XV captained by Frank Herrera, outscrummaged the Harvard pack with special efforts by Wayne Colliza and G le n S c o tt. S c ru m -h a lf M artin Osmond's play dazzled Harvard all afternoon. In addition, forwards Pat Maingot and Erich Friess played an unusually fast paced game (for them at least). M cGill's 2nd XV played a close and hard fought battle that resulted in a M cGill triumph 4-3. Tom Donnely scored the winning try while Marc Deverteuil missed a scoring opportunity by running through the endzone. The squad captained by John "outstanding" MacFarlane was led by the aggressive play of the front row and the outstan ding hitting by Jeff Macrudden. All in all, it was a fine afternoon of rugby, with M cGill once again sweep ing their less than genial hosts. The M cGill RFC would like to thank their coach and mentor Dave Hardy.

Ruggers Rout Harvard Hosts by GJ and the Freezer On Friday November 8th, the M cGill Rugby Football Club departed for Cam bridge, Mass, to renew a rivalry with Harvard University that began in 1874. Spirits were high on the bus trip down, as Paul Finkbeiner supplied the beverages — "M ilw aukee's Best", made with the finest artesian well water available. Most of the club participated in the annual cribbage tournament, where the young upstart team of Erich Friess and Brent Byer displaced many of the perennial powers en route to the finals. They were denied a champion ship game by a mismatched team of Frank " I never cheat" Herrera and Gus "all around good guy" Grant. The McGill boys met their Harvard billets at the Bow and Arrow Pub (The Cam-
