CDU Advocates Doubling Tuition Fees

by Sophie Wilson If the provincial government follows the advice of the Conseil des Univer­ sités, students could be paying twice as much for a Québec education by September.

The Conseil, an advisory board to the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, released its report last week on the state of post-secondary education.

Describing the situation as "so precarious that it becomes necessary to speak of a crisis," the Conseil called for urgent action on the part the univer­ sities to diversify their sources of revenue.

Full time students at M cGill currently pay $570 each year in tuition fees. If the Conseil's proposal is instituted by the provincial government, with the sug­ gested $500 increase and a "20% leeway," students could be paying $1170 in tuition fees next year. The $200 students pay in additional fees to the Students' Society, the Daily and the like, and the $100 photocopying charge would bring the cost to $1470 for one year of studies at M cGill.

Students in Ontario pay an average of $1200 a year in tuition fees.

In Quebec, 76.6% of the cost of runn­ ing a university is paid for by the provin­

cial government, according to the Con­ seil report. Other provinces pay bet­ ween 63.2% and 70.7% of the cost of post-secondary education.

Ontario students contribute 17.1 % of the cost of their studies; Quebec students offer only 8% of the cost.

In an External Affairs Committee meeting on Friday, Students' Society V.P. External Luc Joli-Coeur said he was "opposed to any sort of fee increase un­ til there is a reform of the university fun­ ding formula, and a substantial reform of the loan and bursary programme."

Students' Society policy supports a fee hike that would raise fees to 10% of the

cost of studies.

The Conseil des Universités, although not advocating "substantial reform of the loan and bursary programme," did suggest that one third of the additional money generated by a fee hike would be channelled directly into an expand­ ed loan and bursary system.

People have criticized the Conseil report for not coming up with sugges­ tions of ways to diversify university revenue sources. Charles G . Gallant of the Regroupement des Associations des Etudiant(e)s universitaires (RAEU) noted that "their only substantive recommen­ dation was an increase of tuition fees."

M cGill Administration had a generally more favourable reaction to the Conseil report. Principal Johnston was pleased that the report recognized underfun­ ding as a "grave situation," pinpointing McGill as one of four universities in Quebec in serious financial diffulty.

Although Johnston agreed that the report did not offer concrete proposals for instigating a "more positive fiscal ar­ rangement," he expected that tax in­ centives to encourage donations would

be part of the arrangment.

Said M cGill's vice principal Ad­ ministration and Finance, John Armour, "the university is operating on a $9 million deficit—that's not to the benefit of students."

The money Q uebec u n iversity students pay for tuition does not go directly into university coffers, but is paid to the provincial government, which then gives grants to the in­ dividual universities. Thus, an increase in fees does not guarantee an equivalent increase in revenue. Said Gallant of RAEU, "it's going to cost more for the same thing."

Madeleine Perron, representative for the Conseil des Universités, stressed to the Tribune that the Conseil's function was "only consultative". Said Perron, "The Conseil has called for more money before, and been ignored before...Claude Ryan can do what he wants with the Report."

Principal Johnston echoed Perron's sentiment, "I would not expect to see terribly prompt action on this."

C o n stitu tio n D raft Ready

by Adeeb Khalid and Brian Todd StudSoc might soon have a new Con—stitution. Some time this week, the Con­ stitution Com m ittee of M c G ill's Students' Council hopes to make public a draft version of the proposals.

At press time, the document was still in a state of flux and the draft proposals will only be put in final shape at a meeting of the five-member Constitu­ tion Committee Tuesday afternoon.

However, StudSoc president James Green, a member of the committee, talked to the Tribune on Sunday about the broad themes of the new constitu­ tion.

According the Green, the proposed constitution would answer the need for "a document that is more easily read. It would cover up the inconsistencies in the current constitution and reflect reality rather than an ideal situation."

Green acknowledged that the major impetus for the new document came from the Post Graduate Society (PGSS) who had been pushing for increased representation, entrenchment of dif­ ferentia! fées and increased financial responsibility.

Green expects that the proposed con­ stitution will satisfuy PGSS. "They are getting 90 % of what they wanted," he said.

The new constitution proposed to en­ trench the principle of differential fees for graduate and part-time students, though not at current levels, as demand­ ed by PGSS. "Graduate students use this place (the Union Building) as much as undergraduates do," said Green,

"and the fees have been set at a level that is fair to all. W e're entrenching the principle, and that is something they've never had before."

Among other changes proposed in the new constitution, the Students' Council will grow in size. Proposals in­ clude increasing representation for students on Senate and the Board of Governors from two to three, and the creation of new position of Athletics representative to Council. The propos­ ed constitution will also provide for the direct election of StudSoc's VicePresident University Affairs.

However, the Vice President Finance will continue to be elected from Students C o u n c il. T h e by-law s, however, would prohibit deficit financ­ ing of StudSoc and require the VP Finance to submit monthly reports to the Joint Management Committee.

The constituion would also set out the powers of the Judicial Board of the Society. Currently, the Judicial Board is mentioned only in the by-laws.

The by-laws of the proposed docu­ ment deal with a broader range of issues. Among the changes envisaged is the creation of a "Pçjlicy M anual", a public document including all binding policy decisions ever taken by StudSoc, to act as guidelines for StudSoc actions.

The Manual would also incorporate financial controls, Green said.

Other features of the by-laws include the proposal to continue Council meetings that do not reach quorum as "unoffical meetings" where Councillors would act as advisers to the Executive committee. Green sees this as a way of

strengthening Council vis-à-vis the Ex­ ecutive.

"Unofficial meetings w ill ensure some Council input into executive deci­ sions which would be lost if there was no meeting at all," he said.

The by-laws would also set out the powers of the executive director of Studsoc. The proposals also stipulate five year contracts for employees of the Society, although Green expects a fight from the M cGill University NonAcademic Staff Association on this mat­ ter.

Another point of debate might be the mechanism proposed for amendments to the constitution. The proposals give only Council the power to amend the constitution. Student Initiated Referen­ da would only be able to amend the contents of the Policy Manual.

"I would hate to have an uneducated referendum where someone would blow a hole in the constituion with a nice bit of rhetoric and a lot of publicity," said Green. "If a proposal is good enough, I don't see why Council would not accept it," he argued.

Green hopes that the Constitution committee will be able to put the draft proposals before Council at its next meeting on January 28. The document that is finally adopted might very well be considerably different from what it is now. Indeed, according to Green, "there is definitely a possibility that we won't get it through."

After consideration and amendment

by Council, the document will be put before Senate and then the general stu­ dent body for ratificaion.

by Michael Smart A lot of students find ingenious ways to avoid paying their bills. But no at­ tempt is more novel than that of one McGill students' association, which believes it can use an act of the provin­ cial legislature to opt out of paying fees to the McGill Daily.

According to Dave Bernardi, an of­ ficer of the Electrial Engineering Graduate Students' Society, his associa­ tion is presently considering invoking Bill 32 to allow its members to avoid be­ ing assessed the $5.70 that all McGill students must by University statute pay annually to the Daily. He said EEGSS Council would make a final decision on the matter by April of this year.

Bill 32 is the provincial law passed in 1983 which provides for the recognition -and guarantee of financing for students' associations. The EEGSS was accredited under the Act in October 1985, making it the first McGill student group to be legally recognised by the government.

EEGSS speaker Steven Fraser was unable to quote a provision of Bill 32 which would allow his association to opt out of Daily fees. But he said there were "a number of sections of the Act" which stipulate that members of ac­ credited associations (like EEGSS) need not pay fees to unaccredited associa­ tions. The DPS has not been accredited under the Act. The Tribune was unable to discern any such stipulation through the legalese of the Act. However, the Act does say that universities "m ay collect" fees on behalf of unaccredited associa­ tions like the DPS. Fraser has had previous run-ins with the Daily as a past president of the Post Graduate Students' Society. The PGSS has fought the Daily over fee equalisa­ tion and the accountability of Daily staff in the recent past.

According to- Guy Major, an ac­ creditation agent employed by the Ministère d'enseignement supériere, "the fact of (the EEGSS) being ac­ credited does not abolish the right of M cGill University to impose any other assessment" for other student groups or services. The University "always has the right to impose different charges."

Members of the University's Student Fees Policy Committee, which would review any such request to opt out of Daily fees, said the Act was currently under review by University solicitors

and refused to speculate on the legality of the engineers' plans. But Secretary of Senate Sheila Sheldon-Collyer doubted the University would allow the EEGSS to elude the fee levy. She pointed out that Bill 32 allows for students to belong to associations at all levels of the univer­ sity.

In fact, Sheldon-Collyer said the University quesions the very right of EEGSS to exist as an accredited group.

She told the Tribune the decision might be appealed by M cGill to the provincial government.

She stated that EEGSS did not meet the requirements of the Act since "they're only half a department," re p re se n tin g g ra d u ate but not undergraduate students. She said the University might be unwilling to collect fees for the association.

Dean of Students Irwin Gopnik said the administration was reluctant to recognise the official status of EEGSS for fear of setting a precedent for other department associations. He said the University would "clearly have a mess on our hands"if every association demanded that the University collect its own particular fee.

EEGSS originally went through accrediation process - which requires a student referendum and approval from a- government agent - in order to have the University administration collect the association's $5 membership fee, said Fraser. Under Bill 32, universities must collect student fees on behalf of an ac­ credited students' association.

H ow ever, the association soon developed grander plans for their newly received offical status. At a general meeting of students held earlier this month, EEGSS passed the motion that its "members not be assessed Daily Publications Society fees," subject to ratification by EEGSS council. The DPS is the publisher of the M cGill Daily.

A similar controvesy occurred last year at Concordia University when Engineering and Computer Science students were accredited under the Act and refused to pay fees to the university's federal student government.

Fees are currently being collected from these students, although negotiations go on between the two student associa­ tions.

Fraser said the editors of the Daily had been invited before his council to decontinued on page 2

Materials Charge Dominates Council

by Jenny Henderson The first Students Council meeting this semester failed to get the new year going with a bang. The recently an­ nounced $100 course-materiais charge and StudSoc's new ballroom reserva­ tions policy were the only two issues to provoke debate at the meeting last Tuesday.

The debate concerning the imposition of the $100 charge revolved around the uncertaintly regarding the administra­ tion of the revenue collected.

Ramesh Singal, Senate rep on Coun-

cil, expressed concern that students may find themselves "stuck with the charge indefinitely when jt may only be required at present because McGill is short of cash (at the moment)." Singal suggested that the responsibility for the charge be kept in student hands.

Another proposal, made by StudSoc President James Green, was that the responsibilty be "decentralized by hav­ ing separate faculties raise the $100 charge."

StudSoc VP External Luc Joli-Coeur moved that Council recommend that

New Cafeteria Contracts

by Jenny Henderson It looks like the question of respon­ sibility for food services in faculty cafeterias across campus will be settled internally. Council has decided to en­ courage Undergraduate Students' Societies in each faculty to coqfer with their Graduate Societies in establishing terms of food service contracts held with Students' Society.

Undergraduate Societies in recent years have turned space given to them by the U n iversity into satellite cafeterias. Each came to Students' Society separately for management con­ tracts, now being standardized with all Undergraduate Societies. “ So far we have only heard from the

Faculty of Education, which has decid­ ed to keep the standardized contract of 10 per cent," said Marie Davis, VP Finance. This percentage of the cafeteria's income goes to Students' Society for the management services it provides.

Davis' document on the contract sign­ ing was tabled at Tuesday's Council meeting, in a move by Ramesh Singal, Senators and Governors rep: "until con­ sultation within all faculties has taken place."

"Most Graduate Societies are ready to speak to the Undergraduate Societies and come to an agreement With them," Davis said.

implementation of the charge be withheld "until all faculties can account for its expenditure and students have been more properly consulted." The motion was-passed unanimously. JoliCoeur also spoke of the possibility of StudSoc running a survey or referen­ dum to give students a voice in the debate.

The figure of $100, applicable to all students except additional session graduate students, was calculated on the basis of $3.33 per credit. It is a charge to cover the cost of course materials distinct from tuition fees, which go directly to the government.

The new ballroom reservations policy was sent back to the committee after a lengthly debate. The contentious point in the debate was priority categories in which the M cG ill Ski Sale was specifically assigned highest priority, placing it above Students' Society func­ tional groups and faculty and school societies.

Arts Councillor Maria Lang moved to amend the policy, suggesting that the Ski Sale "c o u ld be considered specifically each year, rather than hav­ ing its rights entrenched and be given priority over StudSoc clubs."

"The ballroom is to be used for ser­ vices to the McGill community and fun­ draising is the main reason for the space," she added.

D em an d For D etails I n Senate

by Melanie Clulow Disgruntled student senators demand­ ed details last Wednesday when the McGill University Senate met to discuss the $3.33 per credit materials charge recently proposed by the Task Force on Finances. Students expressed concern as to the amount and use of the new revenue as well as the possibility of future increases.

"It's a sacrifice we'll have to make in one form or another, but we should be aware of where it's going and if it's real­ ly going to improve academic quality," said Senator Robert Crawhall.

Crawhall moved that Senators advise the Board of Governors to reject the proposed new charge to allow time for further debate and study. The motion was defeated and Senate recommended implementation of the charge.

"The crux of the matter is that it's be­ ing driven through by budgetary con­ siderations rather than academic con­ siderations. McGill has always been able to maintain academic excellence by being very careful with every dollar; now we are being asked to write a blank cheque," he continued.

Other student senators voiced ap­ prehension over the apparent ar­ bitrariness of the amount of the fee and the policy on future increases. There was fear that the charge would be rush­ ed through Senate and approved by the Board of Governors without sufficient debate within the University communi­ ty.

Students' Society President James Green asserted his sympathy for the charge but "would like to see it delayed a little for discussion- on the finer points."

The majority of Senate, however, seemed to share the sentiments of Dean of Arts Michael Maxwell. While he claimed to understand the students' position, Maxweli was "desperately conscious of the need for the charge to go through" and didn't think that ap­ proval of the issue should be delayed to allay student fears.

The new materials charge, to be im­ posed next fall, is ostensibly a means of relieving the pressure on departments in the area of teaching aids and photocopies received in class. The new revenue will be paid directly to each department, and will be used to offset the costs of classroom supplies which are currently skimped on or funded through professors' research grants or even out of their own pockets, said Vice

Principal Finance John Armour.

In response to questions, Armour stressed that the charge will be used to finance the University's estimated $18 million deficit. He stressed that the charge will be used solely as a way to maintain or improve the quality of education at M cGill. Government grant stipulations have ruled out the possibili­ ty of increasing actual tuition fees, so alternative methods are required to ease financial strain on various departments. " If we were able to increase tuition fees we would be doing it," said Ar­ mour. "W e are simply trying to take the pressure off the existing system and sup­ port the quality of education. We realize we're in a straitjacket with government regulations. Basically we're trying to get money to do what we would do with increased fees."

Crawhall objected to this on princi­ ple. He believes that the charge is mere­ ly a weak justification forgetting around the illegality of raising fees. "W e must show the government without a doubt that trie money is for materials only and is not a tuition increase," he said.

"W e're not asking that the issue be turned down, but just that it not be rush-

ed through. At the moment the cart is so far in front of the horse that we can't even see if they're connected."

S tu d e n t S e n a to rs L ila n i Kumaranayake, Mark Warner and Gracy Mimran were concerned that without a specific programme, there could well be arbitrary increases in the charge in future years. Mimran and Kumaranayake argued unsuccessfully for a differentiated payment structure for this charge, based on the fact that some faculties do not use many teaching aids.

Warner appealed to senators' cons­ ciences and argued the debate was "becoming too academic. W e've got to realize that for many students $100 is half a month's rent," he said.

Senate also rejected Green's propos­ ed compromise, which would have forced departments to eliminate all ex­ isting course material charges so that students would pay no more than $100.

Green also wanted to see future in­ creases in the charge instituted on a faculty-by-faculty basis.

The Board of Governors was ex­ pected to approve the charge, to be in­ stituted in September 1986, at its meeting yesterday.

Councillor Ramesh Singal However, Orr eventually withdrew his motion to have the policy accepted in its original form. A six-member ad hoc Committee on Ballroom Reserva­ tions Policy was formed to draft a new version of the policy.

The composition of the committee caused some grumbling. "I am sick of talking about this," said Green. It was

R ecycling Plan Stalled

by Glenn Pierce The Department of English Students' Association (DESÀ) is hoping to soon implement a project to recycle waste paper collected on campus. The project has been in planning stages for some time, and the same problems that have delayed it so far may prove to hurt the project's future success.

The problem, according to Robert Head, DESA president, is the lack of cooperation from M cG ill Physical Resources. Of Sam Kingdon, Physical Resources and Business Operations Director, Head stated "he's been less than cooperative. His interests are more directly related to his own convenience and not with student-related projects in­ tended to benefit the University."

DESA's effort is a pilot project, which will be operated on a small scale at first, and, if it proves successful, will be ex­ panded. Collection depots will «be set up in the Arts and Leacock buildings, and also near the photocopiers in Redpath and McLennan Libraries.

The problem with such a small pro­ ject is that recycling companies will ac­ cept minimum amounts of paper for each pick-up. According to project director Victoria Bradbury, three barrels of waste paper are expected per week.

"The recycling company that we've chosen, Papier Recyclés du Québec, will pick up a minimum of about five barrels per w eek." Other recycling companies, including that used by Mac­ Donald Campus, require much larger minimum pickups.

"The difference between our project and the MacDonald system, " said Eva Riccius of the DESA recycling commit­ tee, "is that at MacDonald the paper is

collected and stored until they have a great quantity. On the main campus, not much storage space is available."

Physical Resources has tentatively allocated for DESA enough storage space for three barrels of paper. "This should be enough space for the pilot project," said Bradbury. "If the project expands, we'll need more."

However, Kingdon told the Tribune that such expansion is probably not feasible. "The project will probably be limited to the Arts Faculty Building," he said. "The resources that we can pro­ vide depend largely on the services of the recycling company that we settle on: whether they'll pay a reasonable amount for the paper, and whether they'll pick up from all the drop-off points of just one central point.

Whether or not we can accomodate their space needs depends upon the in­ take of the project.”

The project had been set for im­ plementation at the beginning of this term. DESA is waiting for Physical Resources to approve the recycling company and storage space allocation.

Said Bradbury, "w e're waiting for a let­ ter from Papier Recyclés du Québec for Mr. Kingdon, who wants written sub­ missions from them. W e should be receiving it next week and be ready to start the project the week after next. continued on page 9

How To Resist The Nuclear Empire

by Daron Westman The U.5. nuclear state and its Cana­ dian accomplice have declared war on their own people, but the North American peace movements continue to be apologists for power and to pro­ mote the illusion that the state is benevolent and can be persuaded to disarm.

This was the conclusion that Ken Hancock, a peace activist for the past nineteen years, presented to his au­ dience last Thursday night after analyz­ ing for them U.S. and Canadian military policies from the end of World W ar II to the present.

Hancock, who was speaking as part of the Concordia University Students' Association Human Rights Lecture Series, is a leading member of the Cruise Missile Conversion Project and the Alliance for Non-Violent Action, a coalition of local peace groups in Quebec and Ontario.

Hancock began his lecture, "NonViolent Resistance to the Nuclear Em­ pire: A New Declaration of In­ dependence," by explaining the ra­ tionality of American nuclear policy.

The bomb is not an irrational aberration in human history, but a logical expres­ sion of the needs of power.

Like any other form of violence or threat to resort to violence, it has a very clear purpose: to maintain a power rela­ tionship in which one party has their rights violated for the profit of the other party. In this case, nuclear weàpons serve to enable the superpowers to maintain their empires.

But to control people, the super­ powers have to be seen to be willing to use the bomb, or else the threat would be hollow, explained Hancock. This

reason, and a desire to intimidate the Russians, actually prompted the deci­ sion to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for the Americans already knew that Japan was on the verge of surrendering.

The United States threatened to use nuclear weapons eight times during the Korean and Vietnam wars, and again during the Cuban Missile crisis. Even when not detonated, the bomb is being used.

Hancock next outlined the active role that Canada has played in supporting American military policy. The modern history of Canadian mining is a tale of the increasing absorption of Canadian raw materials into the American military machine. The Canadian government made El Dorado a crown corporation to ensure a supply of uranium for the Manhattan Project, which developed America's first atomic weapons.

Successive Canadian governments maintained huge arms exports to the U.S. throughout the Korean and Viet­ nam wars. Lester Pearson, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, rejected the idea of an arms embargo on the U.S. during the Vietnam War as "unthinkable." More recently, Canada sent RCMP agents to Grenada to perform policing functions after the American invasion. And of course, we are testing the American Cruise Missile and, through NORAD, becoming a junior partner in Reagan's Star Wars.

"But in their willingness to use nuclear weapons to preserve. Canadian and American imperialist interests, our governments have declared war on their own people, for to resort to nuclear brinkmanship is to threaten to unleash a nuclear war that would kill many, if not all, of us," Hancock said.

The nuclear state, he asserted, is willing to kill its own citizens in the interests of its own security. The perpetuation of the state and the global system of ex­ ploitation upon which it depends has come to precede all other values.

"And yet the mainstream peace movements continue to suggest that we must obey the laws of our governments and pay our taxes, all the while limiting our protests to marches and other forms of petitioning the state."

Hancock told his audience that this perpetuates the myth that the state is well-meaning and wquld disarm " if on­ ly we could provide the government with enough information or find the right moral arguments." But the state does not make moral decisions; it makes strategic and tactical decisions, based on how best to maintain its em­ pire.

That even the peace movement has accepted the idea that obedience to the state precedes our survival shows how deeply authoritarian our society is, Han­ cock charged.

"The state does not need to resort to the more crude methods of controlling our actions because our minds are so colonized that we have internalized all the Cold W ar assumptions and defini­ tions of our masters and police our own thoughts accordingly. W e do not even allow ourselves to think in ways which would be dangerous to the system."

The first step, then, is being able to really do something serious about disar­ mament is declaring our own in­ dependence from the nuclear empire.

We have to find ways to say actively to the state, "You do this against my w ill."

The state needs our labour, money and ideological support to maintain itself.

But by withdrawing our support and actively resisting we can ourselves begin the process of disarmament by refusing to play a role in the armament of the state, he continued. It is less a question of expecting the state to disarm itself and more a matter of our disarming the state ourselves and dismantling the system of power upon which it depends and which it seeks to protect with nuclear weapons.

Hancock recommends tax resistance, co n s c ie n tio u s o b je c tio n in the w o rkplace, and non-violent civil disobedience campaigns as the mosLef­ fective ways to oppose the nuclear em­ pire. These tactics of direct action are a refusal to be passive and therefore complicit. Through non-violent civil disobe­ dience we state that the nuclear murder of the world is not legitimate, even if it is already underway.

"W e point out that the real crime is this preparation, not our efforts to stop

it. W e refuse to honour any authority which sanctions and approves such violence. We refuse to obey the letter of a law which, quite literally, kills."

During the question period at the end of his speech, a Concordia peace ac­ tivist suggested to Hancock that he was talking this way because he knew he was preaching to the converted and wanted to know what he would say to members of the general public. Han­ cock replied that he would have made the same speech to both groups and that most members of the peace move­ ment have not realty been converted at all. "If you really were the converted, you'd have gone over the fence at Litton with us."

A n d , if enough peo ple cu re themselves of this social disease of ex­ cessive and unreasoning obedience for its own sake, if enough people "go over the fence," there may actually be a chance for this planet to survive.

children usually grow up with their black parents in largely black com­ munities, never having to "com e out" as black, gay children, even after they have been able to realize and admit their homosexuality to themselves, still grow up isolated in heterosexual families in straight society, and even fin­ ding other gay people can continue to be a major challenge. For these reasons, this gay community of which he writes

is something which has had to be con­ tinually built, rather than taken for granted.

By charting the growth of our com­ munity and undercovering so much of our history, D'Emilio's book itself should play an important role in the continuing nurturing of the gay com­ munity.

Book Review

A N ew Study O f G a y H isto ry

by Daron Westman John D'Emilio, Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities: The Making of a Homosexual Minority in the United States, 1940-1970 (U niversity of Chicago Press) The conventional wisdom, as much among many gay people as among those heterosexuals who have given the matter any thought, seems to be that the gay liberation movement, and indeed the gay community itself, sprang fully formed out of the gay resistance to the police raid on the Stonewall Inn in New York in 1969.

Of course, on second thought most people will recognize that so large a social movement cannot have come out of nowhere, but until very recently the love that dared not speak its name has also been the love without a history and the average reader has not had access to a thorough study of the roots of the gay liberation movement. This excellent book by D'Emilio, a professor of history at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, will go a long way towards remedying this situation.

Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities, a w e ll-re s e a rc h e d and th o ro u g h ly documented, traces the development of the first North American homosexual and lesbian organizations: the Mattachine Society (1950), the Daughters of Bilitus (1955), the Society for Individual Rights (1964), and the North American Congress of Homophile Organizations (1966). He argues persuasively that the m uch m ore vo cal and v is ib le movements of the 1970's could not have been possible without the ground­ breaking preparations of these pioneer­ ing groups.

Indeed, most of the tactics used by modern gay liberation groups were first fried by these organizations during the 1950's and the early 1960's. The Mattachine Society sponsored a successful protest against police entrapment of homosexual men in 1952. In 1965, the Society also won a court ruling against the Civil Service Commission's refusal to hire gay people. There was even an

early Harvey Milk: in 1961, José Sarria, an openly gay drag queen who led pro­ tests against police persecution of San Francisco gay bars throughout the 1960's, ran for city supervisor and won six thousand votes.

The courage of these forefathers and foremothers is even more remarkable when we remember the climate of the times. D'Emilio points out that these Cold War years were even worse for sexual non-conformists than for Com­ munists (and many people, like the founders of the Mattachine Society, were both). In fact, during the McCarthy era, more people lost their jobs for be­ ing alleged homosexuals than for being Communists.

In addition to providing a well-written narrative history of the early liberation movements, D'Emilio analyzes the more interesting question of the forma­ tion of a gay community. While homosexual sexual acts have taken place throughout history, it is only in the Nineteenth and especially the Twentieth Centuries that there has emerged the concept of gay people as a distinct group with a separate sexual identity different from that of the majori­ ty. It is this growth of a self-aware and self-consciously gay community that led to the organization of these groups and provided the ranks from which their members would be drawn.

W hy did it take so long for such a community and such movements to become organized? D'Emilio believes that the Second World War and the ac­ companying social changes was the single greatest catalyst to the creation of an urban gay milieu in the United States. It became possible to live beyond the barriers of the family, and it was only natural that lesbians and gay men should be among the first to see the obvious benefits of such a change.

Furthermore, with so many men liv­ ing at close quarters with each other in the army, and so many women left at home in a relatively male-less world, many more lesbians and gay men were able to find each other and to begin to form the networks out of which the community would grow. And finally it

was at this time that the understanding that one's sexual preferences were part of one's basic identity was being popularized. The congruence of all of these factors make the time ripe for thé emergence of the beginnings of a gay community.

D'Emilio is also alert to the major dif­ ferences between thq gay liberation m ovem ent and other lib eratio n movements. While black American

"A black spot in the strong afternoon light. It grew. It rose with the heat of the stones. A tendril, then a stump, a tree already struck by lightning.

'A cross,' said Issaris once he'd focus­ ed the binoculars.

And it was a slender black cross in the middle of the riverbed. But it soon mov­ ed. A woman in black, hopping on the hot stones.

'And she's headless,' said Issaris, han­ ding me the binoculars.

'She must've run into headhunters,' w hispered A n d re a s... W hen the woman's head popped up again through the collar of her dress, her face was mustached and bearded. It was the face of a young monk.

He was a young monk. With big dan­ cing leaps he stopped a few meters short of us, a wild look in his brown eyes. He brought his index finger to his lips: 'Shh. Blessed be those who ask no questions after the answers have been exhausted.' A soft voice, considering the strained expression of his face and his stringy limbs. We asked no ques­ tions." *******************************

The H e ro ic Age denotes the nightmarish years of the Greek Civil

War which followed the end of the Se­ cond World War. From 1946 to 1950 a British-backed government of Athens fought a brutal, devastating war against groups of Greek Communist, Andartes, backed by Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria in the northern mountains of mainland Greece.

A standoff was broken and the war ended by the simultaneous withdrawl of outside aid to the Andartes and applica­ tion of the so -called "T ru m a n Doctrine" by the United States in the form of military advisors and eventually $400 million in aid to the Athens government.

Stratis Haviaras's second novel, The Heroic Age begins in the midst of war, with a desperate forage for food on the flooded fields of civil uwar Greece; it ends in peace, on a rock by the sea ("Slo w ly, the sky began to turn southward. Slowly, too, the tide had begun to circle our rock, flooding the land around it, cutting it off. And the rock had begun to float").

In The Heroic Age, Haviaras gives a haunting portrayal of orphaned and homeless children — too young to fight, they nonetheless must learn about death before they learn about life.

A group of such orphans form the nar­ rative animus of the novel. Hungry and sick of war, they decided to change their identities (the book's narrator calls himself Panagis) and march to safety in

S w itz e rla n d . In ste ad th e y fin d themselves engulfed by the war's most desperate battles and they join a ragtag band of Andartes.

Haviaras, a poet, was born and raised in Greece, where he published four books of poetry before 1967. Leaving his country after the Colonel's Coup that year, he settled in the United States.

He is now curator of Harvard Universi­ ty's poetry collection.

Writing in English since 1973, Haviaras published his first novel When the Tree Sings in 1980. With The Heroic Age, Haviaras defies the conventional wisdom that good poets generally do not write good novels. Haviaras com­ mands the language with a poet's fluidi­ ty, and weds it to the spareness of a journalist noting the significant in the day-to-day. The Heroic Age is many things: a war novel, an anti-war novel, it is morality tale, and in its "mixing of memory and desire" a compelling coming-of-age story.

Panagis, the young narrator is a com­ pelling voice, Huck Finn seeking'the Lord of the Flies. Indeed, in its depiction of children in a mad world (headhunters roam the countryside hunting Andartes for thejaounty) the novel often reminds one of Golding's allegorical hell-onearth, with an important difference.

With its ability to mingle with cruelty The Heroic Age is as much "myth as memory: it is the lost humanity, of The Lord of the Flies redeemed.

A P un ch At O p p re ssio n ?

by Yvette Lang Q : W here does a contemporary Czechoslovakian theatre group per­ form?

A: Anywhere there's a captive au­ dience!

This wry bit of humour comes from Centaur Theatre's latest production, Prague. A very funny and almost farcical play, it deals with a serious problem in C zechoslovakia today: government censorship and oppression. The victims of suCb censorship in Prague are the wacky members of the "Bread and Dreams Theatre Company" (bread and dreams presumably being all that they survive on). To comply with the com­ munist government, the group has been performing clown shows and patriotic dramas which pretend to support the communist régime. One of the group members, Lenka, explains why she prefers to be true to herself and do dow n shows rather than the dramas. " I ’d rather," she says, "have a pie in my face than a flag up my ass.”

Naturally, the group tries to speak out against communist oppression through their plays, and as a result, they run into trouble with a woman from the Ministry of Culture who monitors their activities.

At this point the tension between the group and the government should have been high but it was not. Consequently the urgency of the situation was lost.

Perhaps the director should have opted for moments of definite high drama to contrast with the comic episodes rather

than a mediocre mixing of the two. He attempted to achieve a bittersweet feel­ ing but failed.

Even so, two of the actors, Marjorie P a u c h as H e le n a and M arch Christmann as Honza did an excellent |ob at creating this bittersweet feeling in thier own characters. Helena, for exam­ ple, is pregnant and glowingly beautiful.

She looks forward to the future yet she is saddened by the limitations the government imposes on her life.

Clearly there are some important messages in Prague but it is the humour of the play and not the serious drama that brings them out. One scene is par­ ticularly outrageous. Rehearshing a new play set in Medieval times, the group looks absolutely ridiculous dressed in cardboard armour, platform boots and wild headpieces. The designer Dorian Clark must be commended for going all out in terms of set props and costumes to create this Monty Python-like episode. Scenes like this one really ex­ plain the absurdity of living in an op­ pressed state. In using humour to enlighten an audience about a problem that isn't in the headlines, Prague suc­ ceeds in entertaining and informing us.

It is too bad that the more serious dramatic moments in the play were not as successful.

Prague by John Krizanc at Centaur Theatre continues through February 2.

"DAS BOOT (The Boat)"

Ever since I was a wee one, I have not been able to tear myself away from the television set. At first, my addiction was the cause of much hair-pulling and tear­ ful pleas around my homestead in the northern wilds of Toronto. But as I grew older and proved myself to be at least slightly intelligent, I was eventually left alone.

It wasn't until I arrived at M cGill, that I realized that I was not alone in my lifelong addiction. There are, in fact, more T.V . addicts at this school than there are in entire countries. With this in mind, the entertainment editors of the Trib have asked me to review a new album entitled "Television's Greatest Hits featuring Don Pardo."

Make no mistake, this is no ordinary album: this is a piece of history. What else can be said about a double album that contains sixty-five T .V . theme songs from the 1950’s and '60's? As far as I'm concerned, this album should be put in­

to a time capsule along with Wayne G re tz k y 's jo c k strap and Brian Mulroney's forked tongue for the benefit of future sociologists.

As is the case with all great albums, "Television's Greatest Hits" starts slow­ ly, building up to a stunning crescendo that leaves the listener emotionally drained.

The first side of this four-sided ex­ travaganza consists of fifteen themes from various cartoon shows of the late '50's and early '60's. These themes are a little disappointing, however', as they come across as being lifeless for the most part. The exceptions to this rule are the theme from "The Jetsons," as well as the much ignored "Fireball XL-5" by the legendary Barry Gray. The highlight of the side is, of course, Hanna-Barbera and Curtin's rollicking theme from the Flintstones.

Side two concentrates on themes from someajf the major comedies of the period. From "The Ballad of led

- Saturday Jan 25th 7:00 pm L132

Clampett" to the whimsical whistling of the Andy Griffith theme, this side is a gem. fhe orchestra builds up a fine head of steam, that melts away the reserve of even the hardest critic.

This proves to be a brilliant strategy, as Side Three begins with the themes from "Lost in Space” and other sci-fi classics. While this little bit of ex­ perimentation is interesting, it is merely a set up for the final side and a half of the collection. From "Batman” to "The Mod Squad," the wind up of this album is astounding. All I can say is that if, upon listening to this grande finalé, you are not smiling, dancing or drinking, there is certainly something wrong with your appreciation of the art of the mid­ twentieth century.

All in all, I would recommend this album to those hard-core T.V . junkies who find that the current crop of theme songs is sorely lacking the musical and lyrical inventiveness of the themes of the '50's and '60's.

Rating four out of five.

Party Aid Freu d ian Slips M ove W h ile A m p h ib ia n s Seem Stuck

by Heather Clancy Last Saturday evening, Party-Aid, organized by the Douglas.Hall Council, raised over $400 and two large crates of food for the Montreal Food Bank. / After a year full of musical efforts dedicated to help ease the famine situa­ tion in Ethiopia, the birth of Party-Aid was no large surprise. As this event was a more local endeavor, it was only fit­ ting that two local bands be featured.

The Amphibians, with special guests The Freudian Slips, were chosen to per' form for this cause, as well as given the chance to promote their talent.

Not as well-known as The Amphi­ bians, The Freudian Slips opened the liv e entertainm ent at Party-Aid. Unaware of what to expect, the au­ dience pressed closer to the makeshift stage as Arch Jones' solitary guitar broke through their mutterings. The Freudian Slips played mostly material of their own composition. The core of the songs reveal a U2/Simple Minds influence, mainly perpetuated by the technique of digital delay used on lead guitar. This creates the melodic guitar runs so typical of U2. Although the instrumen­ tals were relatively tight, the voice of Guy Namur tended to the ordinary, and it was difficult to understand some of

the lyrics he was trying to convey.

Things brightened up al little, however, after the band did a cover version of Bryan Adams' "Summer o f'69''. Namur took a break during this song leaving the vocals to Arch Jones. When his voice returned after this song, there was a noticeable improvement.

Notable in the band's repetoire were "Radiate" and a song which goes by the name "A Sphinx Too Far". A title has yet to be pinned down to the latter song. Meanwehilé, it retains this label because the band feels the sound would appeal to the crowd which frequents the club Sphinx in downtown Montreal.

Individually known as François Grenom (bass), Patrick Beauchemin (drums), Guy Namur (vocals) and Arch Jones (lead guitar), The Freudian Slips don't plan to have another engagement until March 1. Meanwhile they'll be spending time in the studio working toward a 12-inch record and will pro­ duce it according to what opportunities arise. They will continue to compose as a group, and their progress should be interesting to observe since they do need more work. In the words of Bernie O'Neill of The Amphibians "...they're what's happening."

The Amphibians are quite on the op­

Forw ard posite end of the spectrum from The Freudian Slips. Their forté is "kick-ass rock and roll", and they play almost en­ tirely cover material gleaned from some classic rhythm and blues.

Spawned in a dark cave of a room in Douglas Hall more commonly known as "Doug Pub" (or just plain "Pu b "), they have somewhat of a cult following in the residence. They were spotted by Duncan McTavish while opening for Weather Permitting in Bishop Mountain Hall and squirmed their way into a per­ formance at Station 10 last Friday even­ ing. Those at Party-Aid received The Amphibians fresh from what they see as an encouraging club debut.

I believe it's almost impossible not to compare a cover song with the original version (or at least some version that one knows). For this reason, some songs in The Amphibians' first set sink into obscurity, at least for me. (Yes, although I'm ashamed to admit it, I was not familiar with several of the songs.) It is also for this reason that several of them Feapt at my ears. The crowd was treated to one of the fastest versions of "Purple Haze" (Jimmy Hendrix) ever played.

Unabashedly, BeYnie O 'N eill (lead vocals and rhytmn guitar) sang "Like a Virgin" (usually attributed to Madonna).

The performance was fairly solid and if anything the second set was better than the first. Perhaps this may be at­ tributed tot the encouragement the band recived at the end of the first set when they played "Tequila" (The Champs). The crowd broke into the fr e n z ie d d a n c in g w h ic h w as characteristic of the second set.

Also buried within the second set was the band's one original song by Pete N e lso n (le a d g u ita r).

C a lle d "Salamander", Nelson conceived the tune at age thirteen and the band col­ laborated to write the remaining lyrics.

It is written in not-so-fond memory of a younger boy he was forced to play with whose constant desire was to search for salamanders.

Standout tunes included "G lo ria" (Van Morrison, Them), "W ild Thing" (The Throgs), and "W ipe O ut" (The Safaris).

I’m unsure as to the direction The Amphibians (Phil O'Neil, on drums, Pete MacEwen, on bass, Pete Nelson and Bernie O'Neill) wish to take.

•However, I can't see them truly growing until they develop some more of their own material. Perhaps I'm taking them too seriously. I'll just have to-wait and see.

McGill Tribune presented in conjunction with the Museum. They cover a wide range of topics exploring the possibilities of visual communication. Many of the works assume a documentary posture and seem to be reports of people or places. Yet, as in the work of Gabor Szilast, the reports take on emotional overtones through the use of black and white adjacent to colour portraits of similar scenes.

There are also various experimental and conceptual works in the exhibition.

Artist Serge Tousignant presents various arrangments of single tree branches casting shadows on the sand. The cast shadows form perfect squares in four variations. In Et je deviendrais comme elle? Raymonde April uses passages of

KNOB-HOCKEY CHALLENGE CUP dialogue printed on the photograph to underscore the intensity of the scene.

Pietre Gaudard builds on the concept of (he circle in a series of three works showing wheels and gears.

Bill Vazan and Eric Daudelin both focus on colour arrangements. Vazan uses a light pigment over an aerial shot of a city in Pressure/Presence, whereas Daudelin creates a rendition of the spectrum .through a series of garage doors varying .subtly from muted green to pale red in No Parking.

The Place des Arts photography ex­ hibition has something for everyone.

Admission is free, and it is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until March 9th.

U n d e rfu n d in g W e a k e n s U n ive rsitie s'C o m p e titiv e Edge

by Ian Brodie, External Affairs. Com­ mittee Universities are increasingly being called upon to provide the knowledge, education and skills which Canadians provide the knowledge we need of the cultures, languages, history and politics of other countries in the world, Cana­ dian culture, our literature and philosophies, must be strengthened, and universities are expected to con­ tribute to that effort. Yet universities are consistently denied the funding they need to provide a quality education to their students.

If university educations are so necessary for the nation, then univer­ sities should be as widely accessible as possible. The Students' Society of M cGill University believes that it is unreasonable to expect students to pay more than 10% of the cost of their education, and that tuition fees should be kept low to encourage students to pursue university studies. Quebec has traditionally had a very low rate of par­ ticipation in university education, and higher tuition fees would only make the problem worse than it is.

Although there has been a huge in­ crease in the number of students in universities in recent years, funding to

universities has not kept pace with enrolment. Universities are slowly be­ ing destroyed because they do not have the money to maintain their services.

Universities cannot provide a quality education at any level when for lack of funds, courses must be cut back, class sizes increased, laboratories left poorlyequipped and libraries forced to go without needed new books. Univer­ sities cannot attract leaders in their field or hold existing staff when salary in­ creases must be limited in order to pay for other necessities.

The universities of Canada, and especially of Quebec, are rotting for lack of needed funds, and every year that the crisis of underfunding con­ tinues to lessen Canada's competitive position in the world.

To combat the decline in Quebec's universities, the Students' Society believes that the provincial government must increase its commitment to univer­ sities, and that a higher percentage of the Gross Provincial Product be directed to education. Funding to universities should take into account the relatives costs of different programs, and also the need to increase the accessiblity of university education.

The Students' Society believes that

funds should be set aside for restocking university spending by $50 million this libraries with badly needed books, as year.

There is cautious optimism in Ontario tion.

"The proposal is intended to improve universities because the new Liberal G overnm ent there has increased pedestrian traffic around campus and to

- In 1978-79, the Quebec government spent 4.6% of its budget on univer­ sities. In 1984-85, it spent only 3.4% of its budget on universities, a drop of 26%.

And yet many groups, notably the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, have called for governments to reduce its deficits by cutting university spending.

At the same time, these groups are ex­ pecting universities to provide the educations Canadians w ill need to keep the country competitive.

StudSoc is footing the bill for the survey which was drafted by the School of Urban Planning. According to JoliCoeur, "the costs involve just getting five students to do the interviews on one evening," Joli-Coeur estimates the cost to be $150.

'R a tp a ck e r' Says Free T rad e Pointless

by Michèle Dupuis "Canada should remove unnecessary domestic barriers to trade between pro­ vinces before considering free trade with the United States," stated Don Boudria at a gathering of members of Liberal McGill and their guests last Wednesday evening.

Boudria, Liberal member of Parlia­ ment for the Ottawa-area riding of Glengarry-Prescott — Russell and noted "ratpacker," ranged over a variety of topics in the course of his Liberal analysis of the performance of the Con­ servative Government in Ottawa since September 1984.

Boudria was refering specifically to tariff barriers between Quebec and On­ tario as the main domestic trade barrier.

Boudria, a Hull native, described the cu rren t C o nservative governm ent

policy of putting cultural matters on the free trade bargaining table with the U.S. as a "sell-out." But, according to Boudria, specific free trade negotiations with the U .S. may be pointless due to a thirty year "World wide movement towards multilateral free trade." Fur­ ther, Boudria noted that approximately 80 per cent of trade between the United States and Canada crosses the border without any tariffs at all.

The thirty-six year old Boudria, Supp­ ly and Services and Public Works critic, noted that the United States "should have worked out their own divisions" about free trade within the country before going to the free trade bargaining table with Canada.

Commenting on the falling dollar, Boudria stated that "there has been a general distrust of the current ad­

ministration and the dollar seems to follow an almost parallel course."

Boudria also took the Conservative Government to task for its handling of the Polar Sea incident. The Government should have "indicated (Canada's) displeasure as a nation" to the United States over the incident. The Federal Government permitted passing of the U.S. Navy ice-breaker Polar Sea through the waters off Canada's Arctic land last summer. By allowing this, Boudria c la im e d th e G o v e rn m e n t w as d e m o n stra tin g " C a n a d a 's s u b ­ missiveness to the United States."

Boudria stressed the need for parliamentary reform, stating that the notion of total party discipline and the confidence convention were "out­ d a te d ." Party d isc ip lin e is the mechanism whereby all members of

Parliament of the same party vote as one. A vote of confidence comes into play when the government is at risk of falling due to the defeat of a govern­ ment bill. These conventions should be reformed such that they would only be invoked on major bills. This would

allow all members to "participate in a meaningful w ay," Boudria said.

Boudria stated that Canada was at the "dawn of a new era of liberalism" and cited the Ontario election results and a recent public opinion poll as evidence.

Recycling continued from page 3 Relations with Physical Resources has been the primary obstacle for the pro­ ject. Said Riccius, "if the project is going to fail, that's w h y." Head expressed ex­ asperation. "This red tape is indicative of the lack of cooperation that I feel most student groups attempting to benefit the University meet from the University. Essentially, if it's not a University project, they're not willing to help."

However, both Bradbury and Riccius were optimistic. "O nce we get rolling, the problems will work ^themselves out," said Riccius. Bradbury remarked that Kingdon was "skeptical rather than uncooperative, because similar at­ tempts have failed before." There have been six such previous attempts, Brad­ bury said, all of which failed because of lack of student participation or dropp­ ing of the price paid by the recycler.

Materials collected in this program will include only bond paper, foolscap, and Xerox paper. Newspaper will not, as it is too costly for the pilot project.

"And naturally we don't want garbage; no apple cores or banana peels," said Riccius.

DESA feels that the potential benefits from the project are very great. "W e can hopefully reduce the tremendous waste of paper at M cGill, save trees and generate incom e," said Riccius. DESA will give the funds generated by the pro­ ject to the McGill libraries for the pur­ chase of books.

"W e might as well take waste paper and use it for constructive purposes," stated Bradbury. "The project will en­ courage student participation and heighten awareness of the great deal of waste of paper at M cG ill."

Les Inuks Lose To McGill The Redhocs had a great weekend. Robichaud and Lamirande racked-up 5 points apiece while Reade, Ducharme, Harnson and Lafleur managed to accumulate 3 each. This weekend Mcgill plays home to the Queen's Golden Gaels (Friday at 7) and the Western Mustangs (Saturday at 7).

Although these games are exhibition matches, expect them to be entertaining games.

Anyone is welcome to join, but only one person will be M cGill's top knob.

Sign up sheets should be up this week in the arcade of the Union Building basement. The sheets will also have the full rules of the tournament posted on them. Competition will not be starting for a few days yet, so there is still a lot of

time left to practice.

There is a chance that the tournament will be sponsored by a major corpora­ tion, so there could even be a fantastic array of prizes up for grabs. Then again, there might not be. Whatever the case may be, the competition promises to br­ ing together some of M cGill's finest bar­ room athletes in a no-holds-barred series of games.

Unfortunately, the. Knob Festival Parade had to be cancelled due to incle­ ment weather.

SPOTS II

R o b ich au d Revives Rehocs

by Frank Young The previously slumping M cGill Hockey Redmen won back-to-back Q UAA games for the first time this season, beating Chicoutimi and Con­ cordia last weekend to solidify their hold on third place in the league.

Friday night, the Reds benefitted from Daniel Lamirande's hat trick, in a 7-4 come from behind victory over the Chicoutimi Inuks. Lamirande's perfor­ mance helped add life to a game that was devoid of both hitting and excite­ ment until the third period.

The first period started out with a bang for McGill as Francois Olivier scored his second goal of the season after just 1:39 of the game. The assist went to Dave Ducharme who played his usual strong game. That was it for the Redmen in the first period however, as Christian Pelletier and the everdangerous Serge Trepanier tallied for Les Inuks.

M cGill began to dominate by the mid­ dle of thé second period, as the tempo of the game picked up. Lamirande's first goal of the night came at 10:02 of the stanza, and it was unassisted. Alain Robichaud re-asserted himself as a force to be reckoned with, as he was seem­ ingly all over the ice in the period. A Red defensive lapse led to a huge re­ bound that M. Trepannier popped past M cGill's Stéphane Fortin to put the bad guys back in front.

Mike Bean — who is improving all of the time — and Lamirande netted goals within the first 2:14 of the 3rd to put McGill in the lead at 4-3. Unfortunately, it was time once again for the latest in­ stallment of "The QUAA's Adventures in Refereeing." This week's episode in­ volved M cGill's Dave Ducharme, a Chicoutimi player, an errant elbow, and a ref who, like a bad theatre critic, is im­ pressed by exaggerated performances.

The net result of this little incident was Ducharme's banishment to the penalty box for a 5 minute major, and Chicoutimi forward Danny Girard's 6th goal of the year.

From this point on however, it was all M cGill, as Lamirande took advantage of the shaky play of Inuk's Goalie Pierre Dionne to pop in his third marker of the evening with only 5:47 left to put the Reds up for good 5-4.

A scant 34 seconds later it was Ducharme's turn to score as he picked up Doug Harrison's rebound, deked out Dionne and netted his 8th. The only drama left was whether or not Mark Reade would keep his incredible streak of 12 consecutive games with at least one goal alive. With only 10 seconds re­ maining to play, Reade fielded the puck deep in M cGill territory and broke away from the inept Chicoutimi defenders to score on the empty net.

The Tribune 3 Stars for Friday's game were Lam irande, D ucharm e and Robichaud.

Sunday night saw McGill dinging cross town rival Concordia 5-4 in front of 620 fans at McConnell Winter Stadium. The big gurt for the Redmen was Alain Robichaud who played his first game in two weeks on Friday.

Robichaud showed why he is one of the most feared marksmen in Quebec as he

scored three goals and assisted on one more to lead his suddenly rejuvenated teammates past the Stingers.

McGill trailed Concordia 3-2 after a wild first period that saw the Redhocs score on 2wof their 3 shots. Scoring for M cGill were Robichaud and Doug Har­ rison. There was only one goal in the se­ cond period, as Robichaud was set up

by Lamirande and Harrison at 1:01 of the stanza.

Concordia veteran Frank Morris put his team in front 4-3 a third of the way through the final period. Goaltender Jamie Reeve stonewalled the Stingers the rest of the way in, and that man Alain beat Con U goalie Ken Hrevnakto tie it up. It was up to Lafleur to score the winner at 13:15 with Robichaud and Lamirande getting the assists.

All in all, it was a great weekend for the Redmen, as all of their big guns were finding the range. Robichaud and Lamirande had 5 point weekends.

Redhoops T riu m p h

by Harry Guy The McGill • Martlets and Redmen were undefeated this weekend as both teams beat their Bishop's counterparts on Saturday, and the Martlets edged Laval on Sunday.

The Redmen used 19 points from Q UAA All-Star Simon Onabowale to trounce the hapless Gaiters 73-50. Chip­ ping in 14 was rookie Clint Hamilton.

M cGill's Q UAA record now stands at 3-2, and they are 2 games back of the undefeated and unloved Concordia.

The Redmen play next tonight at home

against 2-3 Trois Rivières, followed by a big game Friday versus Concordia, also at home. Game times are 8:30.

The Martlets boosted their record to 5-0 in league play. Sunday, they benefit­ ted from 9 points each by Annette Kiss, Paula Boggild and Janet Swords as they squeeked by Laval. Saturday, it was Boggild with 14 to pace the Martlets to a 52-47 win over the Lady Gaiters. The Martlets also play at home against Con­ cordia on Friday with the opening tipoff at 6:30.

Su p erb o w l P red ictio n s

by Gus Gridiron With the Super Bowl being scant days away, I took it upon myself to seek out the opinions of various campus celebrities and sports experts as to the final score of the big game. Here are their predictions: James Green (Students' Society Presi­ dent) — Bears 28 Patriots 0 Frank Young (Trib Sports Editor) — Bears 28 Patriots 13 Earl Zukerman (Daily Sports Editor) —

Bears 31 Patriots 10 Howard Lando (Former Trib and Daily Sports Editor) — Bears 24 Patriots 21 Dave McGreevy (American) Bears 28 Patriots 24 Martha M arie Kleinha.ns (Station Manager Radio McGill) — Bears 23 Patriots 10 Morgan Roth (Sports Director Radio McGill) Bears 31 Patriots 23 Brian Todd (Editor-in-Chief Tribune) Bears 28 Patriots 17

Stay In Shap e T h e M cG ill W a y

by Howard Lando "I will never go to another all-youcan-eat Chinese food buffet... I will keep in touch with my second cousins... I'll never watch another Rocky movie again... I'll try not to listen to Tears For Fears as much... I will stay in shape while going to school this year." This article deals with the last of these oft-repeated New Years' resolu­ tions.

If you want to stay in shape at McGill you must begin by ignoring those peo­ ple who jog, ski, or play hockey out­ doors and tell you that winter offers what they call a 'clean' cold. Just because Stallone trained in Siberia in Rocky IV does not mean you should embark on nearly as strenuous a pro­ gram here in Montreal, a city which, in­ cidentally, does not rank far behind Leningrad as one of the world's coldest cities.

With this is mind, a combination of any or all of the following exercises should keep your body lean, mobile and strdng during the winter months: 1) Return your textbooks on the first day of the bookstore's refund period.

Chances are you'll be standing in line with scores of cash-poor students — this is a good opportunity to get the legs in shape.

2) Open a bank account and do regular banking with the tellers at the Bank of Montreal in Les Terrases. This is a high-stress exercise as your heart will tell you as you try to choose the shortest queue.

3) For a drastic reduction in caloric in­

take, eat lunch at the Alley. By seating yourself practically anywhere near the south doors in M cGill's fashionable eating place, you can en­ joy a meal of absolutely no calories — providing your heart is set on table service.

4) Register for your instructional athletic class at the announced time even if you know your course will not fill up on that special registration day.

Again, this is good for the legs as you practise for the gymnasium line-ups at exam time.

5) If you live in Residence up University

Street, arrange to have you breakfasts at Royal Victoria College and dinners at Bishop Mountain Hall. A brisk walk deserves a hearty meal.

6) For anaerobic indoor sprints, saunter through the Engineering building and interrupt classes with a megaphone announcing that you are an artsy from the Daily.

7) And finally, for the upper body the choice is yours. But please keep in mind that the staff at the Tribune are people too and often need help mov­ ing personal items in their homes.
