StudSoc Sued by Musicians G roup O ver Savoy

by Adeeb Khalid The Montreal Musicians' Parity Com­ mission is taking StudSoc to court for not paying musicians with the Savoy Society minimum union rates. StudSoc President James Green fears paying those rates might mean putting the whole venture beyond the reach of the Students' Society.

Le Comité paritaire des musiciens de la région de Montréal is a group set up by provincial statute to oversee finan­ cial arrangements of all musicians in the entertainment industry. It includes representatives of the Musicians' union and the industry, but not of amateur groups. Its current guidelines stipulate that musicians be paid a minimum of $73 for every performance for which admission is charged. Singers are not considered musicians.

The McGill Savoy Society is an amateur group whose musicians, most­ ly drawn from the Faculty of Music, are paid honoraria rather than wages. Ac­ cording to StudSoc VP Finance Marie Davis, under the current arrangements, the Society needs only a small StudSoc subsidy to break even from the sale of tickets to its performances. "If we pay the musicians at the recommended

rates, we'd have to increase the budget by $6000,” she said, "and there's no way we could afford that, even if ticket prices were increased.

"It seems strange to me that we are being forced to pay people who are willing not to be paid,” Davis said. "It's like human rights in reverse. Most peo­ ple involved with Savoy are McGill students or graduates who want the ex­ perience or involvement. It's all volun­ tary, and our honoraria are a way of say­ ing thank you."

Davis also sees these measures as a serious threat to English theatre in Mon­ treal. "There's not too much of it as it is," she said, "and asking all amateur groups to pay at union rates could be the death of all English theatre in the ci­ ty."

Green sees a difference between StudSoc and other amateur theatre groups. "Our members pay fees to us and part of our mandate is to enhance the cultural opportunities open to our members," he said.

Savoy president Andrew Smith calls the Commission's actions "ridiculous.

Rules are applied out of context," he said, pointing out that the Commission was first set up to deal with exploitation of musicians by night clubs. "We're ap-

pealing to the government to seek an exemption for student groups from the jurisdiction of the Commission," Smith said.

According to Davis, StudSoc will

plead against the charges on the grounds that it would not be possible for the group to survive if the newfinan­ cial arrangements come in place.

The McGill Savoy Society is not the

only one to have drawn the Commis­ sion's ire. All amateur theatrical groups in Montreal face similar action. Accor­ ding to Smith, however, no joint action has been taken yet.

Cancellation O f Youth Program Sparks Protest

by Pablo Policzer A nation-wide public awareness cam- it paign has been launched by La Comité S des Promotteurs de Katimavik to try and ° reverse the federal government's decision to close that program.

5 Several community groups have ex- ^ pressed their outrage at losing Canada's —I only national youth program. Ex- O participants have staged various pro­ tests and vow to do everything possible to save Katimavik.

Katimavik is a program, launched ten years ago by Senator Jacques Hébert, that offers young people from 17-21 the opportunity to work in different Cana­ dian provinces in a variety of work pro­ jects. These in turn are determined by communities who would otherwise not be able to fund these projects. At a news conference two weeks ago, Pierre-Jean Parent, speaker for the Com­ ité was empathetic in stating his disap­ G o v 't R e p r is a ls pointment with the government's deci­ sion, which he called "a blow to our society's values."

French Canada Centre W ill Closed

by Michael Smart The Centre for French Canada Studies will closed and its courses transferred to other departments, the Academic Policy and Planning Committee decid-. ed at its last meeting.

Dean of Arts Michael Maxwell said yesterday that the changes will have not effect on the French Canada Studies majors programme, however. The changes mean the programme will be run like any other interdisciplinary department, he said, and a full-time director and secretariat will be main­

tained for the present.

"I think we can do a better job with an interdisciplinary programme" than a full-fledged department, he said, and a full-time director, the University was devoting "more resources" to the pro­ gramme than to similar fields like Cana­ dian or Women's Studies.

Eight of the twenty-one courses listed in the department calendar will no longer be offered as a result of the deci­ sion. Five of those courses have not been offered in the last three years and the other three duplicate the existing

curricula of other departments, accor­ ding to Maxwell.

The transfers are the final stage of a decision taken three years ago to phase out courses offered by the Centre. Max­ well said a separate department for Quebec studies was deemed un­ necessary since there are presently about thirty courses in the field offered by various departments in the faculty.

"That's a major change since the period when the Centre was establish­ ed," Maxwell said. "The desire was to continued on page 3

Conseil Suggests New Equipment For Engineering

by Alexis Campbell In spite of a recommendation of the Québec Conseil des Universités, engineering students at McGill are unlikely to see modernized equipment in laboratories. According to McGill's Dean of Engineering Pierre Bélanger, the government is unlikely to increase the funding required to put the recom­ mendations into practice.

Bélanger, who chaired the committee that wrote the sectoral study on engineering programs in Québec universities, notes that McGill does have "a need for increased resources," especially in laboratories. A.A. Gupdjian, chairman of graduate studies in Electrical Engineering, concurs: "Students are working with obsolete equipment in many cases.”

The committee, in a list of recommen­ dations presented to Education Minister Claude Ryan, also suggested a "back-tobasics" approach for undergraduate programs, while the time required for graduate and post graduate degrees be shortened.

Undergraduate programs should take a more general approach rather than encourage students to specialize quick­ ly in order to better prepare them for changes in the profession. In addition, the committee recommended that in cases of duplication of CEGEP and university programs the institutions in­ volved should consolidate those pro­ grams. Optional Advanced Standing ex­ ams should be instituted to "give a chance to kids who are better prepared," said Bélanger. This move might prove controversial, however, since it could be seen as "stepping into the CEGEPs' territory."

The shortening of the Master's pro­ gram to eighteen months from three years would require concentration on a particular area rather than research, as is presently done. At McGill, "two years is considered the appropriate length of studies" for a Master's degree, said Gundjian, although more time is allow­ ed if complicated research is involved.

McGill offers both a research option for those students planning to complete a PhD and an alternate program which waives the Master's thesis for those who plan to stop their education at that point. Although reducing the PhD re quirements to three years from the pre­ sent five met general approval, there were "no bright ideas" as to how to do so, said Bélanger.

by Brian Todd Five thousand dollars worth of gasoline is all that stands between Michael Bonds and his dream bicycle marathon to aid earthquake-striken Mexico City.

Bonds has been planning a 5000 kilometre bicycle trip to Mexico since September but lacks the funds necessary to pay for fuel for the donated van that will carry his support person­ nel.

Bonds hopes to raise between $50 and $100 million to pay for a children's hospital in Mexico City. "There ae 400 million people in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We are going to ask for one dollar from each person. We think it's reasonable to raise $100 million from 400 million people," said Bonds.

"There never has been a children's hospital in Mexico City. We think it's about time one was built. There was a ward in Juarez Hospital but that was demolished in September's earthquake,” explained Bonds. The group Bonds heads has designated UNICEF as the recipient group for the funds generated. "We don't want to deal with the (Mexican) government.

In fo

by Adeeb Khalid "Openness in practice is different from openness in law. Conversion from a system where information was discre­ tionary to where it is a right takes time," said Inger Hansen, Canada's Commis­ sioner for Information, at a talk last week.

In an optimistic review of the im­ plementation fo Canada's relatively re­ cent Freedom of Information Act, Hansen spoke about the workings of the law and the place of her office in the scheme of things.

The Canadian Freedom of Informa­ tion Act was adopted only in 1983. Ac­ cording to Hansen, the legislation is pat­ terned after similar legislation in Scan­ dinavia rather than in the U.S. This means that the Act allows for excluding several departments and jurisdictions from the perview of the Act altogether or exempting them from its application.

"Anyone who is a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant has a legal right to in­ formation under the Act unless the government department concerned can show to the satisfaction of the Informa­ tion Commissioner that it has a right to withhold the information requested," Hansen said. The burden of proof thus is placed on the department.

The office of the Commissioner of Information acts as an ombudsman, hear­ ing complaints from people who run in­ to difficulties using the Act or when disputes arise over the application of the law.

Still, the Commissioner for Informa­ tion can only recommend to a depart­ ment that information be released. In case of non-compliance, the depart­ ment may be taken to court by the Commissioner on behalf of the complai-

L im ite d

nant.

So far, six cases have been taken to court on behalf of complainants though decision is pending in all of them.

The Commissioner's office rejects about 60% of the complaints it receives.

Hansen estimates that these represent about one-tenth of the people who use the Act. Among the things considered are the right of private individuals to privacy.

Also, where the interests of other governments are involved, their rights to secrecy are respected.

Anyone who has received a discre­ tionary grant from the government and all public servants are not exempted from the act under the privacy clause.

Also, corporate privacy is subordinate to the public's right to know.

Therefore, said Hansen, a principle of severability applies whereby every document requested through the act is examined closely and as much informa­ tion as can be released is released. Not only is this time consuming, it also generates disagreement between departments and individuals seeking the information.

However, people do manage to un­ cover extremely surprising bits of infor­ mation, Hansen said. She cited the ex­ ■ample of somebody who managed to obtain half of an RCMP manual on undercover operations under this Act. Hansen was speaking at a lecture organized by the McGill students chapter of the Special Libraries' Association (SLA). The SLA brings together librarians from all libraries that are not public or academic. The McGill chapter is based at the recently renam­ ed Graduate School of Library and In­ formation Studies.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiii The Conseil des Universités suggests new equipment engineering but McGill is not likely to get it.

For purposes of university evaluation, the committee recommended the development of "better indicators," both more quantitative and generally agreed upon. These might include the number of graduates, the percentage of students who actually completed a par­ ticular program, and the studentresource ratio. Each university should have its own internal program of evaluation, which it should "keep on updating and developing." McGill has a cyclical system of evaluations.

and between universities and industry was recommended. This would prevent wasteful duplication of research pro­ jects. Permanent committees composed of scientists and industrial researchers from outside the university should be formed in order to advise on matters of research.

This study was the first of its kind.

Each sector of universities in the pro­ vince of Quebec will eventually be evaluated in this manner, said Bélanger.

M ontreal In 1968: That Was The W eek That Was

by Marc Wills

That week a woman describing herself as a "daughter of Israel" threw a Buddha-shaped plastic container onto the floor of the House of Commons. The container was wrapped by a note ad­ dressed to the Prime Minister. She was protesting "the popular growth of Bud­ dhism in Canada."

Some 300 McGill political science students were occupying the 4th floor of the Leacock building and were boycotting classes in an effort to gain greater student representation on facul­ ty committees.

Late November, 1968. The Western world and its values are on fire. An ugly, very visible war in Vietnam and student protests around the globe. Martin

by Tanya Van Valkenburg What will be the short-term effects of free trade with the United States? Loss of jobs and Canadian sovereignty, said Dan O'Hagen, a senior economist for the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), to an interested audience.

O'Hagen represents the CLC's views on this controversial issue, and in this hour-long discussion he expounded these views. The main thrust of his at­ tack was directed at proving that a movement towards free trade would result in a short- and long-term loss of jobs for approximately seven per cent of the Canadian workforce.

Briefly, he reasons that Canadian ex­ ports to the United States consist primarily of raw materials, the produc­ tion of which is capital intensive rather than labour intensive. The implementa­ tion of free trade would likely intensify Canada's production of raw materials, at the same time, the production of manufactured goods would decrease as the imports would increase with free trade. Thus the capital intensive raw material industries would expand while the labour intensive manufacturing in­ dustries deteriorated, resulting in high unemployment.

O'Hagen saw a further threat to the labour force in American branch plants in Canada. With tariff barriers removed, companies with an excess production capacity in the U.S. could close their Canadian branch plants, and supply our market from the U.S. Furthermore, he stated, Canadian companies might find it competitive to locate their plants in the southern states, where there are "lower wages, less or no union security, low minimum wages and where working conditions are lousier." Thus, he concluded, "under free trade the job situation looks pretty dismal."

A second threat is posed to Canadian sovereignty: "cultural, political and economic." If the U.S. does decide to work more closely with Canada, many of our policies will have to be adapted to fit in with the American way,"

Pericles Gives Shakespeare A Twist

by Barbro Dick Shakespearean drama; the term is pregnant with vivid images. Connotative of such ideas as eloquence, poetic beauty, flawless prose and pom­ pous decor, Shakespearean drama has become an established style of theatre.

Audiences anticipate colourful sets, ostentatious costuming and thoughtful movement.

Undoubtedly, this was what the au­ dience in Players' Theatre last Saturday evening expected. Pericles, Prince of Tyre, one of Shakespeare's earlier romances, was presented by the Association of Producing Artists.

Deviating from the Shakepearean norm

however, Jack Langedijk and the cast of ten set the action among the smoking ruins of the apocalypse.

Along with a tribe of primitives, a tat­ tered copy of the play Pericles survives the apocalypse. The book and its con­ tents become for this tribe a religion which they act out in a ritualistic fashion. In this way, the crude campfire becomes the stage. In lieu of a Stratford cast and set, the tribe take on the characters of Pericles, Thaisa and Marina, the perform the play as a ritual.

Within the space of 105 minutes, Pericles travels through three towns, en­ dures numerous ocean crossings, jousts

for Princess Thaisa and then marries another. (Six out of the cast of ten por­ her, fathers a daughter (Marina), loses tray more than one character.)

The cheap, ficult to recognize when a given actor eye-smarting incense which permeates has changed from one character to the theatre proves to be a well-chosen device, creating a highly-primitive am­ bience. Facial expression, crude grunts, animalistic gestures and dances are credible, as are the ragged, dirt-smeared' costumes, obvious money-savers for APA. One, however, must take excep­ tion to the suspiciously new boots of Marina.

Divorced from McGill in all respects, the Association of Producing Artists is both newcomer and youngster to the league of professional acting com­ panies. Established two years ago, APA has completed eight productions of varied subject matter, demonstrating a wide theatrical repertoire. The future looks bright for this innovative troupe, who dare to add a third dimension to the already formidable work of one of literature's finest playwrights.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre continues at Players' Theatre until March 1st. Curtain is at 8:00 p.m. for all performances. For ticket information and reservations, please call 392-8989.

Q uatrefoil As Light And Shadow

by John Crow "Quatrefoil", an installation piece by the Montreal-based artist Murray Mac­ Donald, stands out among the exhibits currently showing at the Musée d'Art Contemporain as an imaginative and coherent exploration of the elements of light and shadow, form and void in ar­ chitectural structures. MacDonald's in­ terest in architecture as art is evident in an untitled sculptural work also current*ly on exhibit at the MAC in the Cana­ dian Sculpture Collection. It is a small cornerset work of highly polished, reflective aluminum welded to create the entrance way to an imaginary tem­ ple. His Quatrefoil installation explores many of the same elements of the for­ mal aesthetics of religious architecture, and so, by extension, the interaction of form with content in these structures.

MacDonald refers to two definitions of the title Quatrefoil: a leaf composed of four leaflets; and a design of four foils arranged around a common center. The work is composed of four parts, each of which explores an element of architec­ ture.

The first part, "Steel Echelon", is bas­

ed on Reims cathedral. Asculpture row of human-scale Gothic arches stands alone, skeletal, in the middle of the room. Behind it there are three images of the interior of the church projected by slides onto one wall. The vertically of the gothic structure is accentuated by the superimposition of the arch shadows over the slide images.

"Liuhath laburnthos" is a labyrinthine construction of plywood. The dark, silent tunnels are ordered by four video screen images of a passageway.

"Column Demarcation" in the next room consists of two grid constructions of cylinders through which images of columns are projected onto a wall.

The final section, Precinct Split, is a human-scale Roman arch sculpture fac­ ing three identical slide projections of arches on the walls around it.

In this part, the central concept of the quatrefoil pattern is expressed in the order of the design elements.

The result is a conceptual imaginative deconstruction of the experience of ar­ chitectural space, simplified to its essen­ tial aesthetic and structural elements.

CLANNAD

Ilannad Creates a slew Folk-Pop

obert Costain the last few years, many bands in liar music have borrowed tradiil folk themes to enhance their d, or more commonly, their image, is especially true in Ireland and Briwhere groups like U2, Simple Is and Big Country have capitalized leir Irish and Scottish heritages en ; to widespread popular success, ith a couple of exceptions, these Is have largely just scratched the ce of traditional folk musical les. Fortunately, they have opened door to a resurgence of folk and based music. Traditional groups the Chieftains are seeing renewed jlarity amongst their traditional auces, while new bands like the Irish group Clannad are being heard by a h wider audience, i the heels of a very successful rision soundtrack project based on Robin Hood legend, Clannad have ised a new album, Macalla which is very much like a grab for a larger ence. Musically, it is a departure for quintet from far-off Gweedore in égal County on the northwestern

coast of the Republic of Ireland. While the band retains the traditional Irish folk themes which have characterized their music in the past, slick production and a "guest" appearance by U2's Bono Vox seem like a deliberate attempt at a pop-folk crossover.

On previous albums Clannad kept to very simple arrangement patterns and relied on the melodies themselves to create the eerie, almost alien moods which are characteristic of the finest "backwoods" Irish folk music. It was the very sparsity of their sound which gave their music a traditional, primitive feel, conjuring up romantic images of foggy, windswept seashores and mosscovered castle ruins. It was a mood which would send shivers up the spine of the intent listener.

On Macalla, producer Steve Nye has attempted to augment this mood with slick layered production and an em­ phasis on electronic instruments. On the whole, the attempt is a successful one and works to good effect. Nye weaves singer Maire (pronounced Moya) Brennan's voice hauntingly in

and out of textured layers of guitar, flute, keyboards, and drums. The im­ pact of the production alone is stunn­ ing, which is not to take anything away from the virtuosity of the musicianship.

This smooth, creamy production, however, is very nearly the album's downfall. The disc treads a very fine line, verging on becoming overly com­ mercial and losing the edge that is characteristic of the folk aspects of the music. The music must retain some of the roughness of its folk roots in order to have impact. The track featuring Bono Vox, "In a Lifetime," although appear­ ing more pop than folk, is a fine, haun­ ting song with an amazing vocal in­ terplay between Vox and Brennan.

Fortunately, the presence of a couple of purely folk pieces, sung in Gaelic ("Caislean Oir" and "Buachaill on Eirne"), balance out the more commer­ cial numbers.

Clannad sounds very human, unlike many bands today, and this humanity is rooted heavily in their folk aspects.

Hopefully, a taste of commercial suc­ cess will not spoil that fragile humanity.

Development Through Education: SOMAFCO

by Robert Maxwell The idea of educating a people to liberate them first took hold in Mozam­ bique where FRELIMO (the most developed political party in Mozambi­ que) established schools in the 'liberated zones.' Ever since then, this practice has spread like a bush fire and has contributed significantly to enlightening non-white South Africans.

The repressive nature of the South African government has not permitted the establishment of freedom colleges within South Africa but neighboring countries have been very receptive toward the idea. In 1978 for example, the Tanzanian government gave more than 250 acres of land in Mazimbu to the African National Congress (ANC) for the explicit purpose of establishing an educational institution there. The need for such an institution was clearly press­ ing after the 1976 Soweto uprising where large numbers of young South Africans were forced to flee for their lives.

The ANC deemed the education of children in exile to be a top priority. The school now houses 864 students and has an additional 94 housing units for staff and support workers. And that's not the end of the story either — the Solomon Mahlangu freedom college (affectionately called SOMAFCO) is be­ ing developed further to facilitate the study of other disciplines (primarily biological sciences), and to accomodate more students.

Today, SOMAFCO, named after Solomon Mahlangu, who was hanged by the regime in 1979, boasts nursery, primary and secondary divisions which train more than 800 young people. The school comprises 18 general classrooms, 4 laboratories with tiered demonstration rooms and classrooms for the instruction of social science and languages. The study of mathematics, history and English is compulsory and fervent efforts are being made to upgrade the teaching of science at the college. The language of instruction is English.

Students at the primary level are in­ structed in the basic principles of reading, writing and arithmatic. At the secondary level, students work toward attaining their General Certificates of Education. Since 1980, a number of European nations have extended University scholarships to qualified SOMAFCO students. These students study a wide range of science and arts subjects in an effort to be prepared for the challenges which await them at home.

One of the strong points of SOMAF­ CO is its openness to people of all ages.

From tiny children to elderly people who have never had the chance to go to school, SOMAFCO is doing its best to educate exiled South Africans. Sydney is 52 years old. In South Africa, he was never given educational opportunities to go to school but he still managed to teach himself to read and write. In an in­ terview published recently/ Sydney said: "At last I am going to school. Perhaps I am not too old and I will still be given a chance by the ANC to go away for studies. I don't understand why everyone is so frightened by this mathematics.

"Mathematics is the subject I like.

There's just one thing...The teacher comes in and gives us the work and then has to go to one of the other classes. This is no good. When you are learning after work there is not much time. You must have the teacher there to explain when you don't understand."

Several other important activities are now under way at Mazimbu. A health care centre has been established which emphasizes preventative, curative, maternal and child care services. The centre has also taken the lead in pro­ viding health education for the com­ munity and in-service training for the ANC medical cadres. Although the wards can only accomodate 20 pa­ tients, there are X-ray and delivery room facilities, a pathological laboratory, a pharmacy and a dental lab, which all do

a marvellous job of maintaining the out­ patient health care system. During December 1984 and January 1985 the hospital saw 2,135 adults and 237 children. Health care is free to all exiles.

The Kate Molale Maternity Centre ac­ comodates women in the last months of pregnancy and mothers with young babies. More than 36 mothers enjoy the centre's hospitality. The Creche Day Care Centre contains lawns, playgrounds, and other recreational facilities for the young children of the area. There are six residences equipped with a kitchen, a dining room, a small amphitheatre and an administrative of­ fice. Not only does the centre babysit the children of working parents but it prepares them for the nursery school programme.

The ANC even operates a photo laboratory at Mazimbu. The Eli Weinberg photo laboratory develops photographs for publicity campaigns and it has recently begun to use VHS Video equipment to produce audio visual materials for students and to document momentous events for ar­ chives.

Unfortunately, the ANC is still hardpressed to find trained personnel to ex­ pand these programmes. Trained science teachers and trained medical personnel are the most urgently sought staff but other qualified people are cer­ tainly welcome. Several European na­ tions are donating funds to the Mazim­ bu project but for unknown reasons.

Canada has not yet done so. The Black Students' Network and the South Africa Committee at McGill will address that situation by jointly sponsoring a benefit concert for SOMAFCO on April 5, 1986.

Shortly before he has hanged, Solomon said to his grief-stricken mother: "My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom Please tell my people that I love them."

Seven years later, those words are still encouraging students around the world to assist in the education of the South African people who yearn to be free.

continued from page 5 The Montreal Star described the con­ ference as "phenomenal because of its pace, its intensity, its bitter fighting and finally its transcendent unity." The two dozen Black Panthers on hand dominated the conference, the Star said.

When Bobby Seale finally came he gave an electrifying speech. "We will resist the racist pigs who are brutalizing and murdering in Vietnam as well as in America," cried Seale. The Black Pan­ ther leader rejected passive resistance as advocated by Martin Luther King, arguing the futility of singing "We Shall

Overcome" when policemen were beating protestors in time to the music.

A group of Maoists at the conference known as the McGill Student Move­ ment wanted to protest the Soviet inva­ sion of Czechoslovakia. The NLF representative pleaded with them not to. "To do this would embarrass us and endanger our struggle in Vietnam...if you really want to help us, forget the whole matter," said Nguyen Van Ba. Some Black Panthers joined in the ex­ change. "We understand our Viet Cong Brothers asked you to forget about this Czechoslovakia thing," said one of the Black militants. What's wrong with you people anyway?" he asked tightening

Menace and muscle kept the McGill Maoists from the speakers' podium.

The next week the demands of McGill political science students were met.

Their occupation of the 4th floor of the Leacock Building ended.

A well-intentioned attempt by the radical left to better protest the war in Vietnam had become a circus perfor­ mance by rowdy militants, the initial goal of the conference swept away by a flood of enthusiasm and group frenzy.

"The Hemispheric Conference to End the War in Vietnam" must then be seen as an intriguing, historical oddity.

From Under The Bleachers: A Sports Hero

by Frank Young When I was a child of no more than 7 summers, I had a few sports heroes, but there was one man who was the hero in my mind. His name was Leroy Kelly, and he was a great running back for the Cleveland Browns. At the time, my family held season's tickets to Brown's games, so I knew that one day, I would get the chance to meet Leroy Kelly.

One day, my father asked me if I would like to go to Cleveland with him to see the Browns play. Well, I was ecstatic at the thought of actually seeing

my favorite team play, but I was even (Cleveland has never been known for its more excited at the prospect of finally restaurants), and then we stationed being able to witness the talents of ourselves in the lobby to await the ar­ Leroy Kelly in person. rival of our heroes.

As we were driving to Ohio, my father About half an hour into our vigil increased the excitement of my brother Browns' head coach Blanton Collier and myself by telling us that we would came into the lobby. He looked even be staying in the same hotel as the more scholarly and wise than he did on Browns, and that we would be able to television. Although I tried to, I could meet the players! I was going to meet not ask Mr. Collier for his autograph, it the man whose poster was over my bed! would have been like trying to disturb I was going to talk to Leroy Kelly!!

Albert Einstein in the Princeton library; I remember that night as if it was it just couldn't be done. Next through yesterday. We ate dinner in the hotel the door was Bo Scott, a fine halfback

who was Leroy Kelly's partner in the backfield. After some prodding from my Dad, I walked up to Bo and asked him for his autograph.

"Sure thing, what's your name?"

"My name is Frank," I said.

"Where you from Frank?"

"Canada" "Canada? You came all the way from Canada for a football game?"

Bo Scott and I had a conversation for a couple of minutes before he went to check in. The fact that he would talk to a lad of my age bolstered my con-

Leroy Kelly never rushed for 1,000 yards in a season again. He never ever made the all-star team again. He slipped to 11th place on the all-time rushing yardage list. He is not yet in the Hall of Fame. And I still have not forgiven him.

fidence considerably. Milt Morin, the great Browns' tight-end patted my hand, while linebacker Jim Houston threatened to call the police on me for wearing a Browns shirt that he said I'd stolen. When I began to shake and wimper, he told me that he was just kid­ ding. Even the injured quarterback Bill Nelson let me autograph his cast. All in all, it was one of the most exciting nights of my early years. Finally, after about 45 minutes, I had met almost the entire Cleveland team.

Except for Leroy Kelly.

As my brother and I were comparing autographs, my Dad tapped my shoulder and said "There he is." And there he was, in all his glory, Leroy Kelly! There he was, the cornerstone of the Browns' offence, the NFL's third leading all-time rusher, the 5-time AllStar, the NFL's top ground gainer the previous season, the Morgan State Monster, the man who ran like a halfback and hit like a linebacker, the man whose poster hung above my bed, the ebony antelope...LEROY KELLY!!!!!

Although I tried to look calm, my heart was pounding, my palms were sweating and my knees were trembling.

I could hardly move as I stared at the man whom I wanted to grow up to become. Before I could think, he was walking past me towards the elevators.

Summing up all of my courage, I blurted out "Mr. Kelly! Can I please have your autograph?"

And then, the giant of a man, this human Hercules said something to me that I will never forget: "Fuck Off Kid."

by Ross Porter Over the last three weeks the McGill Nordic Ski Team competed in two of the world's most grueling races. And in the somewhat twisted perception of a cross country skier, they were a lot of fun.

The Canadian Ski Marathon is really more than a marathon. Skiers begin at 8h00 and finish at sunset. Then they get up and do it again the next day. The mixed team of Tim Lewis, Phil Hastings, Kitty Hastings, and Guy Savard covered a combined distance of 320K. They won. peted in the prestigous Gatineau 55 in Hull. Skiers from all over the world, in­ cluding members of several national teams, travel to compete in the event.

Scott Dammerman, fresh from similar races in Europe, placed 27th as McGill's top male finisher. Phil Hastings and Erik Kiaer took places thirty-seven and thirty-nine. Sheila Kealey, McGill's top female finisher, posted a time of 4:20:21 against the winning time of 3:20:05 (by a Canadian national team member).

Perhaps the highlight of the event was the presence of the father of cross coun­ try skiing in Canada, a man nicknamed "Jack Rabbit" Johannsen. Cheers came from the crowd when, at the awards ceremony, the ancient fought off those assisting him to the podium, waved his cane and shouted, "It's a great day to be alive." He will be 111 years old in June.

by Isaac Hayes For the first time in twelve years, the McGill Martlets basketball team has won the QUAA championship and it wasn't even close.

Sunday, McGill thrashed the Bishop's Lady Gaiters by a score of 76-51 to erase any doubts about the Martlets' superiority in Quebec. The win in the final gave the Martlets an 11-2 record in conference play this year, and a 21-10 overall record.

The QUAA crown is the first for Martlet coach Hubert Lacroix in his eight year stint here at McGill. Lacroix now faces the task of preparing his charges for the Canadian Nationals in Winnipeg this weekend. McGill's first round opponent is still unknown, but no matter who it is, they will have their hands full, as the Martlets can play with any team in Canada.

Red men Shut Down Gee Gees

by François Lejeune The McGill Hockey Redmen kept alive their hopes of winning their first ever Quebec University Athletic Association (QUAA) title by beating the Ottawa Gee Gees 5-2 on Sunday night.

The game was one that McGill had to win, as they were trailing in the best-ofthree QUAA semi-final due to a 5-3 loss in Ottawa on Friday.

The Red and White didn't play like a team facing elimination however, as they controlled the Gee Gees offensive­ ly and defensively to post the win.

Sunday's game began with both teams throwing elbows, butt ends and sticks around at a furious pace. One flurry of activity that typified the first period occured when Ottawa's Gilles Leduc flattened Redmen goalie Stéphane Fortin with a cross check.

While the referee didn't seem to notice the infraction, Red Defenceman André Martin did, and it took three players to keep Martin away from Leduc. During the opening stanza, both sides had numerous scoring chances, but the goalies were sharp.

The period was scoreless going into the final 10 seconds, when Ottawa won a face off deep in McGill territory. Gee Gee winger Pat Lahey sent a pass back to Paul Smith at the point, and Smith's blast beat the screened Fortin with just 1 second left on the clock. To add insult to injury, it was the Ottawa defender's first goal of the year.

The second period was less chippy than the first, but play was still rough.

The Gee Gees put tremendous pressure on Fortin in the early going, by Stéphane was up to the task. Fortin's save on Lahey in close was nothing short of robbery. After that particular save, McGill's Daniel Lamirande grabb­ ed the puck and headed down the right wing at full tilt. The Ottawa defencemen both moved in on Lamirande as he crossed the blue line, and the McGill veteran took advantage of this terrible lapse to feed linemate Benoit Lafleur.

Lafleur then put a severe deke on Ot­ tawa netminder Marty Abrams and slid the puck into the open net.

Barely four minutes later, stalwart defender Martin outmuscled a couple of Ottawa forwards and fed Alain Robichaud who, in turn, spotted Lamirande by the side of the net.

Lamirande's shot went just under the cross bar to give the Redmen a 2-1 lead at 6:40 of the period. The rest of the period was vintage old time playoff hockey, as both sides exchanged scor­ ing chances, hard hits and dirty looks.

The play of the Dave Ducharme-Benjie Matthews-Mike Bean line typified the play of McGill throughout the period, as their hard hits and strong work in the corners set up many good scoring chances. In one shift, Ducharme hit the post and Matthews banked one off the cross bar.

The ref at this point decided that he was not going to call any more penalties. He stuck to his guns, even when Matthews took a high stick in the face not 3 feet away from him. The Redmen showed their poise by not retalitating in these situations, and this strategy paid off at 2:13 of the third when Marke Reade got the puck to big François Olivier whose shot was stop­ ped by Abrams. Unfortunately for Ot­ tawa, Abrams left a rebound for McGill's Doug Harrison. McGill 3; Ot­ tawa 1.

The Red "French Connection Line" of Lamirande, Lafleur and Robichaud bulled the Ottawa defence to set up McGill's fourth goal, this one scored by Lamirande with an assist going to Robichaud. With a three goal lead, McGill's defence collapsed for the only time in the game, allowing Jocelyn Bolduc to score with 7 minutes remain­ ing.

The Gee Gees' attempted comeback ended at 16:02 when Olivier knocked in the rebound from Martin Desrosiers' long shot to give McGill its 5th and final goal, and the game.

After the rhatch, McGill Assistant Cap­

tain Mike Babcock said that he felt that the difference between Friday's loss and Sunday's win was the fact that the Reds "loosened up" over the weekend. Fri­ day night, according to Babcock, 'We were tight as a team," and when that happens, a team is bound to be "se­ cond all night." When asked the reason that the Redmen were performing so

well in all aspects of the game, Babcock shrugged and said "when the puck is bouncing for you, the mistakes are unnoticeable."

Despite Babcock's modesty, it was more than the bounce of the puck that won this game for McGill. It was a total team effort that staved off elimination

on Sunday.

Redmen Rough Up Stingers

by Frank Young Led by an awesome performance by Clint Hamilton, the McGill Redmen handed the Concordia Stingers their first loss of the basketball season by a score of 88-70. By winning the final game of the year, the Redmen forced the Stingers into a playoff situation for the QUAA title.

Hamilton burned the Stingers for 27 points and 16 rebounds as the Red and White ruined Concordia's hopes for a perfect season. According to McGill coach Ken Schildroth, one of the keys to the game was the success of the Red's outside shooting. "The perimeter shooting" said Schildroth, "pulled out of their defence" which in turn allowed Hamilton to go wild inside.

McGill opened up an early 16-9 lead before the Stingers roared back on the strength of a 16-8 spurt to take the lead with 5 minutes left in the half. The Redmen showed their mettle when they came back to take the lead at the inter­ mission 36-29.

Unlike the previous home game with Concordia, the Redmen came out strong in the second half, outscoring the visitors 19-3 to open the half. McGill kept adding to its lead, they were up

79-52, before Concordia started hitting anything. By this point it was much too late for the Stingers who lost the game and their top ranking in the country.

Even Hamilton's outstanding perfor­ mance could not earn him player of the game honours. The McDonalds' player of the game was Bernie Rosanelli who played great defence as well as scoring 24 points.

Schildroth claims that, for the first time this year, "Concordia was pressed

to do something," and they couldn't.

Next game for the Redmen is this Fri­ day at 7:30 at the Currie Gym. The op­ position in this QUAA semi-final game will be the Trois Rivières (UQTR) Patriotes, a team that McGill has beaten 3 times out of 4 games this year. Even though the Redmen hold the series edge this season, watch for a tough game, as these two teams always play it close. McGill has beaten UQTR by margins of 7, 5 and 2 points, so the

Redmen had better be concentrating on the Dufour brothers of Trois Rivières.

If McGill wins on Friday, then they will play on Sunday at Concordia at 2 o'clock for the QUAA title. Even though they have won the title for the last two years, Schildroth refuses to use the term "defending champs." "We are not out to defend the title that we have," he states, "we are thinking offensively."
