by Michèle Dupuis Election apathy continued at McGill as candidates and press outnumbered observers at the all candidates meeting last Thursday. Even several candidates did not show up.

All candidates had a chance to face off against each other and to take ques­ tions from the floor after an opening statement of two minutes.

Since many of the candidates had op­ posed student fee increases in their opening statements, a question from the floor asked the candidates from where they proposed to get the money to run the university.

"The money should come from the government," stated Ian Brodie, can­ didate for Vice President External. Ac­ cording to Brodie, "it's a ridiculous con­ cept that anyone should be closed off from education simply because they

cannot pay" large tuition fees.

While Chris Alexander, candidate for Arts Representative to Senate and undergraduate representative to BoG, stated that the "government had the largest responsibility for the tuition fees." François Orsat, Vice President Ex­ ternal candidate, stated that some money could come from links with the francophone business community in Montreal.

Joe Heath, Daily news editor and can­ didate for President noted that federal transfer payments to the provincial government earmarked for higher education, have, at times, been re­ routed to other projects by the provin­ cial government. Heath supported "ac­ tive campaigning to stop university fun­ ding cuts," and to avert the re-routing of federal government subsidies.

A question from the floor was

directed at Vice President Internal can­ didate concerning the Daily and the re­ cent controversy surrounding it. Lind­ say Glassco, the only candidate for this position present at the meeting, stated that she was "not fully for impeach­ ment." She felt that some students should remain to instruct incoming students and that "all changes can be made within the Constitution."

"Graduate students are just students in a university — the same as me only with more diplomas on their walls," stated Titi Nguyen, Presidential can­ didate, when confronted with a ques­ tion on special representation in students' council for graduate students.

Although Nguyen did not support special representation he did note that graduate students had "a right to decide their own fate."

Presidential candidate Paul Pickersgill

stated that special representation for graduate students would be "great if that is what the students want." Fellow Presidential candidate Heath stated that he was "tired of the tug of war" bet­ ween graduate and undergraduate students and questioned the worth of formalizing the relations between the two student groups.

O n e of the approxim ately 15 observers in attendance asked what the candidates proposed to do about stu­ dent apathy. Vice Presidential can­ didate Glassco stated that it was necessary to "somehow increase stu­ dent awareness of Students' Societies' activities." She suggested that more ar­ ticles about StudSoc be written in the various campus publications.

Andrew Velthaus, Arts Senator can­ didate, also noted that the students' lack of information contributed to student

apathy. V.P. External candidate Robert Vézina, suggested direct mailing to students would decrease apathy due to lack of information. Fellow V.P. Exter­ nal candidate Ian Brodie thought that the Tribune and the Daily already fulfill student information needs "for those who bother to read them."

Grace Ann Baker, candidate for Engineering Senator, claimed that apathy towards StudSoc was "a pro­ blem that will be handled" if she was to be elected.

Candidates not in attendance at Thursday's meeting w ere: James Donoghue (President), Peter Andrew Larusso (President), Mike Gordon (Vice President In tern al), Earl Bloom (Engineering Senator), Randy Flemm­ ings (Arts Senator), and Harold Heft (Arts Senator).

Libel Suit

Suit, C ountersuit O n Daily Q uestion

by Sophie Wilson Campaigns for the Daily staff im­ peachment referendum degenerated to absurd levels last week, as accusations of libel & slander threatened to render the referendum invalid.

If their lawyers are correct, both Yes and No committees for the referendum have been running libellous election campaigns.

Daily staff have been advised that a pamphlet distributed by Dean Rosier and Jeffrey Edwards, in which the paper was described as "racist, anti-semitic, one-sided, undemocratic and complete­ ly irresponsible" could be deemed libellous. Daily staff are considering tak­ ing Rosier and Edwards to court over the matter.

A bailiff arrived on Friday morining at Jeffrey Edwards house to serve sum­ mons, but Edwards was out at a taping for CBC's Daybreak with Daily editor-inchief, Melinda Wittstock.

Edwards and Rosier now plan to "countersue" the Daily for having printed and distributed a pamphlet in which the Daily claims to be "fighting a libellous disinformation campaign".

Said Edwards, "W e're going to sue them for every cent they're worth."

Daily staff asked their CRO , John Parfitt, to role on whether such accusations of slander and libel rendered the elec-

tion campaigning unfair. On Friday, Parfitt told the Daily Publications Board that he did not want to influence elec­ tion results with a ruling, especially when he was so unsure himself about what he should be ruling.

The Board of Directors has contested Parfitt's decision to run the referendum.

The Judicial Committee is not expected to hand down a ruling on the validity of the referendum until after the election is run.

Edwards accused the Daily, however, of purposely delaying the hearing. Said Edwards, "François Longpré (the com­ mittee chair) wanted to have the hear­ ing Monday night. This is just another of their roadblocks they've been putting in our way."

Rosier also complained to the Tribune about Daily "roadblocks". "They've tried to stop us at evey turn rather than campaigning for the "N o" side. They're afraid they'll lose if the ballot goes to election."

"As it stands, ballot boxes will be seal­ ed until the Judicial Committee ruling. If the Board rules the election fairly run, ballots will then be counted, otherwise, all ballots will be destroyed.

Dailyites staffing the office on Friday were quite pleased at the prospect of a lawsuit against Edwards and Rosier.

Senate G uidlines O n G roups?

by Stephen Hum Senate will take steps to more closely regulate the functioning of student associations at McGill if the recommen­ dations of the Ad Hoc Committee of Student Association Constitutions are accepted.

Set up in the latter half of the first semester, the committee will present its conclusions and recommendations at tomorrow's regular meeting of the M cGill Senate.

It will propose the establishment of a Senate Standing Committee on Student Association Constitutions to be chaired by the Dean of Students with represen­ tatives drawn from the staff and student

PGSS Positions Mostly Acclaim ed

by Tribune News Staff It is election time at the Post Graduate Students' Society (PGSS) too, but only one of nine graduate student positions is being contested. The entire executive of the PGSS has been acclaimed.

The only race is for the Graduate representative to the Board of Gover­ nors with two candidates in the race.

Alex Koukoulas is doing his PhD in Chemistry. He offers electors his ex­ perience as PGSS VP (Internal) and sit­ ting on various Senate committees.

If elected, he will push for an increase in funding for graduate students, especially as funding from SSHRC and NSERC is expected to decrease. Such an increase "will especially effect research advisors," he said.

He also will move for the university to initiate a uniform program for offsetting differential fees faced by international students. "Right now, it is only a depart-

mental policy," he said. "If a depart­ ment has money, they turn it over to in­ ternational students, but it meets only about 40% of the expenses. I will push for a university-wide policy."

"The $100 fee was not done in a very honest manner, and w e should safeguard against that happening again," he said. He suggested the possibility of passing Senate by-laws that make sure students are consulted every time a change in the fee structure is brought about.

David Schulze is doing an MA in History. He brings with him experience in student journalism as past editor of the Observer. He has also been the u nd ergrad u ate rep resen tative on History department assemblies.

"M cGill might be changing direction to make research its vocation," he said.

"Such a change would have very im­ portant consequences for graduate

studnets who might find themselves teaching more and more courses."

Also, as more professors limit themselves to research, McGill will rely on sessional lectureres to teach. "That would significantly change the job pro­ spects for graduate students." he said.

"Graduate students need someone to speak up on these matters."

Schulze would also push for the ratification of the Charter of Student Rights, and the standardisation of work­ ing conditions of TAs across all depart­ ments.

The following have been acclaimed: President: Robert Barsky; VP (Finance): Jacqueline Winters; VP (University Af­ fairs): Mark Readman; VP (Internal): Eva Szigethy; VP (External): Gene-Viève Tanguay; Secretary: Dianne Dutton;; Graduate Senator (Academic): Lee Iver­ son; Graduate Senator (Professional: Jane Ward.

caucuses of Senate and the Board of Governors.

The newly-minted committee would be mandated to draft a set of "fun­ damental principles" that all associa­ tion constitutions must conform with in order to gain Senate approval.

The committee would also review all constitutions coming before Senate,, as well as all constitutions previously pass­ ed by that body, to ensure conformity w ith th ese yet-to-be d elin ea te d guidelines.

Lastly, the Standing Committee will be mandated to draft guidelines for the "financial accountability" of student organizations such as StudSoc or the McGill Daily on whose behalf the University collects fees. It will also put in place a mechanism for ensuring com­ pliance with these guidelines.

Members of the Ad Hoc Committee contacted by the Tribune, by in large, refused to . speculate as to what the ramifications of the report are for the continued financial and political autonomy of student associations.

Dean of Students Irwin Gopnik who sat on the Ad Hoc Committee said, "Frankly, it (guidelines) will make them stronger. If their finances are in the clear and they are responsible to their members, associations will be able to better represent students."

Gopnik pointed out that the Commit­ tee had concluded that while "it is not the legal responsibility of the Senate or the Board, to receive and approve the constitutions of student organizations" nor is there any "legal significance at­ tached to the act of approving constitu­ tions by Senate," there is a "moral and political" significance.

Student Committee member Maria

Lang agreed with Gopnik. "There's a strong political argument that Senate ought to 'protect' students from pro­ mulgating a bad constitution. Students should be protected from their own mistakes."

But Lang conceded that there may be implications for the political autonomy of student organizations. "They (Senate) are clearly in charge in an official sense.

There is a danger, I suppose, in that we will to an extent depend upon the good will of Senators."

Gopnik declined to discuss whether or not the conclusions of the committee would make the University liable for the recovery of misspent fees which it has collected. "I'm not a lawyer. Besides, I think to speculate on this would be pro­ jecting too far into the future. It’s up to the standing committee to settle this matter."

But, Gopnik stated that the university has a "moral responsibility" to ensure the proper use of fees that it has under­ taken to collect.

Committee members were uncertain as to how the recommendations would effect the handling of individual cases of financial irresponsibility within student organizations such as misappropriation of funds by an officer.

Student member Steven Fraser, Secretary of the Post Graduate Students' Society Council speculated that the Standing Committee might require stu­ dent constitutions to include provisions for impeachment of irresponsible of­ ficials.

While much of the committee's report deals with the need to ensure that stu d e n t c o n s titu tio n s are "democratic" and "fair," members of

continued from page 1 Said Mike Gordon, "I find it quite ironic that Edwards is a law student and legal counsel to the initiator (Rosier), and yet he overlooked this blatantly libellous statement."

Brendan Weston asserted that Rosier and Edwards had "completely cut their own throats" by printing the allegedly lib ello u s pam phlet. " T h e y 're so flagrantly breaching referenda pro­ cedures that they're effectively deman­ ding that the election be declared un­ binding," said Weston.

Asked whether the plan to bring the suit to court was merely a form of revenge, Weston told the Tribune, "W e're not interested in wasting money, we just want fairness. Jeffrey's made that possible."

In order for the Daily to win a libel suit, they will have to prove that statements made by the N O committee of Rosier and Edwards were false and damaging. Adam Quastel felt such pro­ of would not be hard to come by. "The pamphlet called us racist and antisemitic. I'm Jewish, and as a member of the Daily staff I'm being called antis e m it ic !...T h is is an e ss e n tia lly slanderous campaign and that's all there is to it."

Quastel pointed out that, if the Daily staff were impeached by the referen­ dum, the Daily would have to break advertising contracts for the days on which the newspaper was'not publish­ ed. " T h e corporation w ould go bankrupt," Quastel asserted.

"W e think (here is no doubt that the Daily has published racist and antisemitic articles," Edwards explained. " A c c u sin g us of co n d u ctin g a "libellous, disinformation campaign" however is libellous. O ur reputation has been damaged."

Both Edwards and Rosier feel the Dai­ ly suit is a bluff. Said Edwards, "W e're only going after them if they go after us."

"All the Daily is doing is grabbing at any tactics whatever. I'd appreciate if you don't give students the impression this will be a useless election.”

A m bassador Favours Anglo-Irish Accord

by Marc Kemerer Seemingly optimistic, Sean Gaynor, Irish Ambassador to Canada, forsees the recent Anglo-Irish agreement over Nor­ thern Ireland bringing about a climate of mutual trust and understanding to that region. Speaking Thursday on "Re­ cent Developments in Ireland," Gaynor waxed idealistic to sell a policy package he feels will facilitate the unification of Ireland.

The current conflict has resulted in the loss of over 2,400 lives and proved an enormous drain on the economic resources of both governments. Amidst this background of violence and destruction, the Irish government began discussions with its British counterpart in the Autumn of 1984 on ways to resolve the problem. The result was the aforementioned pact which is designed to promote peace and stability by guaranteeing respect for the traditions and identities of the two major groups involved and by improving cross-border security.

The most significant provisions of this "bold and historic" agreement are con­

tained in its first two articles. Article One states that any change in the status of Northern Ireland will only come about if it has majority support. If in the future the majority makes known its desire for a united Ireland, both govern­ ments will support this wish. For the Protestants or Unionists as they are known, this means that the status quo will remain. At the same time, the aspirations of Catholic nationalists to unity are also enshrined in the agree­ ment. In Gaynor's words, this means that now it is the "will of the people that is the only prerequisite for implemen­ ting legislation."

Article Two is designed to counter any sentiments of alienation as it "reflects the views and aspirations of the minority." Jl-proposes to do this through the creation of an inter­ governmental council based in Belfast and chaired by both governments. A "unique arrangement between two sovereign governments," in Gaynor's view, its mandate is to build confidence within the nationalist community towards institutions which have tradi-

Daily Im p each m en t M otion Postponed

by Adeeb Khalid An attempt by certain staff members of the McGill Daily to impeach five members of the editorial board at last week's staff meeting was postponed for one week as a result of procedural wrangling. Staff were to vote on substitute motions last night.

The motion was directed at Editor-inChief Melinda Wittstock, Senior News Editor Brendan Weston, News Editors Adam Quastel and Joe Heath, and Sup­ plement Editor Mike Gordon.

The motion considered last Monday sought to impeach the five editors col­ lectively. The motion ran into trouble when the mover, Karyn Miller, sought to amend the motion so that each of the five editors would be voted on separate­ lyThe chair ruled that amendments would have the effect of changing the spirit of the motion, and a new im­ peachment motion would require the mandatory one week written notice to staff.

The polarization at the meeting was apparent as the decision of the chair was challenged. Twelve new staff who had received the right to vote at the same meeting were very vocal in sup­ port of the motion, but their support was not enough for the meeting to over­ turn the decision of the chair.

Miller, refering to Robert's Rules of Order, argued that the amendment was

intended only to "put the motion in the best possible form" for consideration by the meeting. "It would be unfair and undemocratic for different people to be judged collectively," she said.

Brendan Weston, however, argued that a motion could only be voted upon only once and that the amendment call­ ing for five different votes would split the original motion into five different ones, and invalidate the week's notice already given.

Miller finally agreed to submit five dif­ ferent substitute motions after a short recess in the meeting to help keep tempers down.

Divisions had become apparent earlier when Weston moved to give the Daily's shop manager Colin Tomlins a vote on staff meetings. Tomlins is not a student and the Daily Publications Society (DPS) constitution requires a staff vote for non-student staff members to get voting rights.

Allegations about the editor's attempt to stack the meeting flew around.

Several veteran Daily staff members countered with similar allegations directed against the new staff members.

The five editors now face a vote on their impeachment on similar charges of "signing their names to racist statements" as well as individual counts ranging from "inability to handle con­ flict" to homophobia.

D ebating Successes

by Baila Lazarus Well, it seems a week doesn't go by without a McGill Debating Union suc­ cess in one form or another. With the Concordia triumph not even a week old, the Debating Union was on its way to another victory, this time at Dalhousie University.

The team of Matthew Mendelsohn and Louis Belzil won every one of their rounds to bring them first place. In addi­ tion Matthew Mendelsohn took top honours in individual speakers, with Belzil coming in seventh. Both debaters also placed in the top siz of the public speaking competition.

W hile the festivities were going on in Halifax, another success was being con­ cluded for McGill across the ocean at the Intervarsity Tournament in Dublin, Ireland. In a final round which featured four teams a side, the hybrid team of Graham Miller from McGill and John Nicolson of Harvard surpassed seven

tionally discriminated against them.

W hile it is too early to tell whether or not the agreement will work, there have already been definite signs of en­ couragement, Gaynor contends. To back up this claim, he cites recent byelection results in Northern Ireland in which the Constitutional Nationalists made significant gains at the expense of both the hard-line unionists and Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA. Facing an audience largely skeptical over the effectiveness of such an agree­ ment, Gaynor maintained that the ac­ cord has already begun the process of national reconciliation. Acknowledging the existence of strong unionist opposi­ tion to the accord, he commented that it would be unrealistic to expect the cessation of hostilities in one fell swoop.

This agreement is only one attempt to resolve the situation by gradually chipp­ ing away at these hostilities. In its ap­ peal to moderation, the initiative aims to fill a political vacuum presently oc­ cupied by violent extremists.

Despite a fairly candid attempt to pre­ sent the recent developments in Ireland in a broad context, Gaynor made no at­ tempt to hide his own desire to see the process of history corrected. Given his heritage and his status as a represen­ tative of a government that can never politically or symbolically advocate anything less than a united Ireland. This is perhaps understandable, yet it serves to undermine his argument somewhat.

That his interpretation of the agreement is taken only from a nationalist perspec­ tive was best illustrated by his con­ cluding remark that the accord would "persuade the unionists that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by coming into a united Ireland."

D U Collects Clothes, Food For O ld Brewery Mission

by Tribune News Staff The Delta Upsilon Fraternity will be running a clothing and food drive at McGill on behalf of some of Montréal's vast population of homeless people.

Members of the Pine Street fraternity will be manning a booth in the Student Union Building on McTavish on Friday, March 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to col­ lect donations of spare clothes and foodstuffs which are to be delivered to residents of the Old Brewery Mission by March 17, St. Patrick's Day. The Old Brewery Mission, currently managed by its director the Reverend J.W. McCarthy, was orgininally founded in 1889 as a Christian mission to aid the

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

city's unemployed and working poor.

Under McCarthy it has evolved into a shelter, providing a bed, meals, medical attention and companionship to over 3000 homeless people a year. Located on 915 Clark Street near Old Montreal, the Mission reaches the homeless con­ centrated in the south end of the downtown core around St. Antoine, below Ste. Catherine.

Jean-Charles Maillet, the Co-ordinator of the food drive, stressed the need for participation from the McGill communi­ ty. "It's not as visible a problem as say cancer or muscular dystrophy, but it's just as alarming."

Maillet sees apathy as the drive's big­

gest enemy. "The most difficult thing we'll encounter is the sheer inertia on the part of the people," he stated. But Maillet thought that the fraternity's in­ volvement with the drive is a hopeful sign.

"You're seeing us get more involved with the community rather than con­ tinually thinking of ourselves," Maillet said.

People wishing to contribute need not do it simply on Friday. The fraternity will be doing pick-ups on the weekend.

The number to call anytime during the week is 844-4050, or drop by the Delta Upsilon Fraternity house on 522 Pince Ave. West.

The Ad Hoc Committee was establish­ ed by Senate in response to the political confusion created by fee referendums put forward by a number of studnet organisations in the past year, including the McGill Daily and the McGill Association of Continuing Education Students.

To the Tribune: I am at a loss to explain Melinda Wittstock's continual propensity to describe her McGill Daily as an "alternative publication." In the March 4 Tribune she again refers to opponents of the Daily as those who "don't want an alternative media" (Daily Staffers May be Impeached...). The Daily is alter­ native in bias only — this does not make it an alternative publication.

In order to be considered an alter­ native publication, a newspaper must be totally autonomous. This means that it must be financially autonomous and thus answering to no one. Since the Daily is funded by a direct fee levy it is more or less like a public corporation in w h ic h M c G ill s tu d e n ts are shareholders. If the shareholders wish to fire the board of directors, or editors in this case, then denying such a wish is tantamount to dictatorship. Truly alter­ native publications are under no such commitment.

If Melinda Wittstock is still unclear as to what constitutes an alternative publication I suggest that she visit the Alternative Bookstore on St. Laurent.

The staff there is very friendly and will be more than pleased to enlighten her about the alternative press. Until then Melinda, please don’t bore me with your mythic and bourgeois ideas about matters which you apparently know lit­ tle about.

David Rose Joint Honours Communications and Politics To the Tribune: The McGill Hillel Student Steering Committee is outraged by the per­ sistance of the various members of the P.S.S.A. to invite Mr. Babb, to McGill University as a guest.

W e feel a consensus has already been reached on this issue within the McGill community. McGill University, an in­ stitution of higher education, collective­ ly decided not to support the unethical and immoral position of the present South African régime. McGill students as well as various faculty members made it clear that for McGill University to have ties to the South African régime was full of hypocrisy.

Today using the guise of freedom of expression, certain P.S.S.A. represen­ tatives are trying to have the South African ambassador to Canada, Mr. Babb, as our guest. W e feel they are late with their invitation. For many years the M cGill South Africa committee and other interested parties lobbied the McGill university to divest. This lobby­ ing culminated in November when hun­ dreds of McGill students representing the diversity of McGill, stood for hours in the cold, voicing their opinions. We feel this is a pure and truly democratic example of freedom of expression.

M cGill University expressed itself. We decided collectively to cut all ties with the South African régime.

For a handful of McGill students who seem solely concerned with striving to emulate the current political trends in the North American political context,

they do this with total disregard of the clear mandate made by the McGill community. Evidently, McGill students have had enough of racism and racist thought, and demonstrated to rid McGill of it and this case.

At this point for a group of political ideologues to extend an invitation to have a representative of the South African régime speak at the university, is an overt display of hypocrisy and full contempt for the majority's clear view.

This is as well a total disregard for the freedom of expression, that has been expressed.

The M cGill Hillel Steering Committee To the Tribune: There were several serious problems with the article "The Race For The Top"

by Sophie Wilson and Michael Smart (March 4, 1986) to which we would like to draw your attention.

The lead of the article states "Pickersgill might well run away with next week's presidential elections." As any participant in the democratic electoral system knows such advance statements prejudice voters. Ths is particularly true in a case where it is implied that James Green's support for Pickersgill makes him the obvious choice.

The third paragraph of the "News Analysis" refers to his opposition as either inexperienced or incompetent.

Actually, Pickersgill's piddling practice at picking mainstream films that everyone has seen and wishes they hadn't will serve him poorly and will certainly not serve the McGill popula­ tion.

Wilson and Smart should have treated all the candidates equally instead of set­ ting up Pickersgill as the point of com­ parison.

W e also object to the layout of the ar­ ticle which relegates other candidates to pages two and three while granting Pickersgill front page coverage. As jour­ nalists, Wilson and Smart should be aware that most people only read the first few paragraphs, thus gaining the impression that Pickersgill has already won the election.

As a house organ for the Students' Society, the Tribune has a particular responsibility to report fairly on Students' Society elections. "The Race for the Top" is a glaring example of misleading journalism.

Jenny Beeman Maggie DeVries To the Tribune: This letter concerns the article entitl­ ed "The Race For The Top" in the March 4 Tribune. It was a well-written article, but there is one point I would like to clarify.

The article states that although Film Society Treasurer Paul Pickersgill takes credit for helping to eliminate the Film Society's $10,000 deficit, "$5,000 of last year's shortfall is accounted for by extraordinary charges that did not ap­ pear in this year's budget." Presumably you mean that $5,000 was billed to last year when the expenditures were made

the year before.

The preceding is true; however the same has also occured this year. W e have been billed $1,500 from last year's expenditures. In addition, it should be pointed out that we voluntarily trimmed our budget from $30,500 in 1984-1985 to $24,000 i n 1985-1986. This was done in part by cutting labour costs and doing more work ourselves, and by taking a hard line with the film distribution com­ panies on film rental costs.

Whichever way you wish to interpret the accounting, the fact remains that the Film Society has changed from being heavily bailed out last year and almost being cancelled, to the present situation where we showed a profit in our January statement. The attendance has dramatically improved, services have been increased, the admission price has remained the same, and the subsidy has been reduced. All of this has come about in no small measure from the considerable hard work of Paul Picker­ sgill.

Kevin Davis President, McGill Film Society

To the Editor: Re: "Radio McGill Funds Frozen," (Tuesday, 4 March, 1986) W e write to express our disappoint­ ment on the unfortunate tone of the above quoted article by Marc Wills. Un­ fortunate because it misrepresents the nature of Radio M cGill's funding for an FM license. It is important to stress that the account which Mr. Wills claims was "frozen" was no longer being used. W e no longer draw from Students' Society funds. Both organizations have been working diligently to complete the tran­ sition from a Students' Society funded group to an autonomously funded one.

Mr. Wills was quite deficient in his at­ tempt to obtain an explanation for these supposed 'wrong-doings.' Two ques­ tions posed to the Station Manager as she is leaving for the day, without any contextual basis, do not an 'interview' make.

Finally, let us reassure the student p o p u la c e w ho so f a it h fu lly demonstrated their support for Radio M cGill's FM license drive that their fees are being used solely for the purposes of our FM requirements. W e feel it is un­ fortunate that the Tribune does not share this support and enthusiasm.

Martha-Marie Kleinhans Station Manager — Radio McGill Donald B. Rossiter Asst. Station Manager — Radio McGill James Green President — Students' Society Marie Davis Vice-President Finance — Students' Society

Editor's Note: The article in question refered only to the funding Radio McGill receives from Students' Society rather than the funding for the FM ap­ plication which is derived from the stu­ dent fee levy.

SDI A NORAD O bligation, Says Arkin

by Tanya Van Valkenburg Canada is losing the respect of the United States by its weak, unantagonistic stance towards her southern neighbor; the direct result has been deceit in the Canadian government's assertion that it won't participate in the Strategic Defence Initiative.

This was the proposition that William Arkin, a military policy analyst, advanc­ ed last week to a large group of McGill students and members of the Montréal community.

Arkin, the director of the "Arms Race and Nuclear Weapons Research Pro­ ject" at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), spoke on "The Hidden Meaning of N O RAD." The IPS is a liberal American think-tank affiliated with the Democratic Party.

The discussion had some of the trappings of a peace rally, up to and in­ cluding letters to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney; the emphasis was placed on Canada's role in N O RA D (North American Aerospace Defence), the bilateral defence treaty between Canada and the United States.

Although stating that it is important for Canada to remain in NORAD, Arkin believes that she must make her posi­ tion against SDI clear, as the United States differentiates between NORAD and SDI in name only.

The exposure of some secret bilateral agreements has given rise to an urgent need for this clarification. Arkin cited the Polar Sea incident, the revelation of secret agreements, and American pro­ posals to put nuclear-armed bombers on Canadian air bases in the event of a crisis, as examples which show an amazing lack of connection between what the Canadian government says and what the Canadian government does.

In Arkin's opinion Canada doesn't know what she wants; nor does she have a defence policy; and most impor­ tantly, Canada doesn't know what's go­ ing on.

The politicians are unaware of many agreements made between the Cana­ dian military and the U.S., he argues, just as the citizens are kept in the dark to avoid having them interfere in what the government believes is under their control.

"Canada is the meat in the strategic sandwich, but meat gets eaten," stated Arkin.

The root of the problem seems to lie in what Arkin called nice-guy attitude towards the Reagan administration. The result, Arkin pointed out, is that Prime Minister Mulroney has become "the wooden dummy on the ventriloquist's knee."

It all comes down to an issue of power, Arkin claimed. "Canada wears her lack of power like a badge of honour — that is what needs to be changed." The United States won't respect Canada unless Canada has the guts to stand up."

Arkin supported Canada's continued participation in NATO in principle, but admitted that it is currently not in Canada's best interests. Arkin stated that Canadian forces in West Germany are "unsupported," not integrated enough to be of any help, and only there due to inertia.

"It's more important for Canadians to defend Canada — though arctic, moun-

tain and anti-submarine patrols," he asserted.

Commenting on how the United States would respond to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's new arms reduc­ tion proposal, Arkin quipped, "The Reagan Administraton won't take yes for an answer."

Referring to the Soviet Union, Arkin used the analogy of a paper tiger. Arkin believes that the Soviet Union's biggest strength is primarily military and that "if w e (the W est) push the USSR economically and politically by its last gasp it will strike out militarily."

Arkin urged his audience to take ac­ tion against Canadian participation in "Star Wars."

"If you don't want it, you don't have to have it. Canada is the only country which can kill SDI," Arkin stated.

"Without Canada there can be no SDI."

Legal Logo C ontest The McGill Campus Legal Aid Clinic, presently in its 14th year of operation, has as its primary objective the dissemination of legal information to the McGill community. Students, staff and faculty members are encouraged to use our services either through personal interviews at our offices in the Student Union Building basement (B-20 and B-21), or by telephoning us at at 392-8918 or 8919. The Clinic also aims to fulfill its mandate through the distribution of information pamphlets published by various government agen­ cies such as the Rental Board and the Labour Standards Commission, through public service announcements on Radio McGill, and through articles published in the university press. Staffed entirely by volunteer upper-year law students in the Faculty of Law at McGill, the Clinic is at your service from 9:00 to 5:00 throughout the year except for ex­ am periods in December and April, and study week in mid-February.

The McGill Legal Aid Clinic needs you — or at least your creative input, '«/e are pleased to announce that the Clinic will be sponsoring a logo com­ petition in order to come up with a sym-

bol which will be permanently iden­ tified with the Clinic, and which will be used on all our forms, envelopes, business cards etc. W e invite those of you possessing an artistic flourish to par­ ticipate in the logo competition by sub­ mitting your design to us no later than 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 27.

Entries can be submitted at the Clinic itself, or can be placed in our mailbox at the Students' Society officers on the ground floor of the Union Building.

There are no particular requirements, other than that the themes of Justice and McGill should be emphasized, and that if letters are used they must be amenable to a bilingual reading. For those of you who need a little incentive to get the creative juices flowing, we are pleased to offer a monetary award of $40.00. Now is the time to put those la­ tent artistic talents to the test.

While we await your creative con­ tributions, its business as usual at the clinic. If you have a legal problem — be it related to a landlord/tenant dispute, immigration, consumer or family mat­ ters, to name but a few — bring it on down to McGill Campus Legal Aid and let us help you with the solution.

See Them All Grow n Up

Yuppie Dick and Jane

by Jenny Henderson For those of you who have dreamt of a reunion with cherished childhood friends...

Look! It's More Fun With Dick and jane! Dick and Jane and Sally are all grown up. See Dick in his La-Z-Boy chair. See Jane sell Amway. See Sally drive her Saab. Oh what fun!

The immortal trio is back; alive and well and thriving in suburbia (alas, old Spot has passed on to a higher place).

The kids who never got dirty have become adults who never got pot­ bellied. And whether these heroes had pimples and braces somewhere along the way, we'll never know.

The last time we saw Dick, Jane and Sally, they were frolicking through the pages of the "Basic Reader" primer series used in elementary schools for decades. Dick, the leader of the gang, Jane the copycat and Sally the tag-along were the models of the white picket fence America for millions of young readers.

First published in the Thirties, the Dick and Jane books reached the peak of their popularity in the mid-Fifties.

Then things changed. By the midSixties, they were being criticized as sexist and racist.

Women's groups and civil rights com­ mittees demanded that the writers change the old stereotypes; show the mother going to work and the father staying home. But Dick and Jane had grown out of traditional molds and it was too late to re-cast them. So they went out of print, leaving the business of role models to more liberal types.

Will the children today wonder years from now what ever became of CareBears? Probably not. Rainbow-coloured playmates do not grow up; but people do. Author and illustrator Mark Gallant knew this. He sought out middle-aged Dick and Jane, and_found them, living in the comfort zone: surrounded by name-brands and gadgets, and pinned to contemporary stereotypes.

Dick has got most things right. He traded in his red wagon for a K-car. He became an engineer, got married, had three sons and bought a family com­ puter. He never walks the dog (named Spot II, after its predecessor of course) without taking along the pooperscooper. And he has learned lots of new words: Dick can say "G o for it!" and "I've got a headache with tension writ­ ten all over it."

Jane is no dumb blonde. She has

learned, that "if you work hard you can have it all" so she sells Amway in her spare time (when she's not teaching her daughters to read the L.L. Bean catalogue or instructing them in the fine art of "Pour-A-Quiche."

Sally, a tag-a-long no more, has left her boring brother and sister in subur­ ban Ohio and found meaning in a Californian existence. W e see her skydiving to stay in shape and dining on pesto and wild mushroom salad with radicchio.

The episodes are about the same length as the old ones — one page each.

Some new words may puzzle the veteran Basic Reader, however an up­ dated Vocabulary List includes such new words as Mr. T., punker, and Apple Macintosh 128K. This book is an inspiring example to all those lost sheep who have yearned for the example of Dick and Jane. The king and queen of predictability have not let us down, and we can only hope for more episodes to come. Old age in a Florida retirement home? No doubt.

The greatest thing about Dick and Jane is that you always know where to find them.

Film Shows Home Life In Gaza Strip

by Adeeb Khalid Gaza, a narrow strip of land on the east coast of the Mediterranean is usual­ ly remembered only as part of the “ Palestine p ro b lem ," a faceless monster that stalks the Middle East and disturbs world peace. Yet for the people who constitute the problem, life is real.

Under Israeli military occupation since ~t967, the people of G aza also live fairly normal lives.

W e are reminded of this in a documentary co-directed by McGill graduate Joan Mandell. Gaza Ghetto, made by a Swedish team of which Mandell was a part, portrays a Palesti­ nian family in a refugee camp on the G aza strip. Its Canadian premiere took place at McGill last week.

W e are so accustomed to thinking of Palestinians as either refugees or (more often) as terrorists that films like this are necessary to remind us of the basic humanity of these people. Gaza Ghetto shows a fairly ordinary family: little children who go to school, a father who commutes to work.

Yet their life is not ordinary. They live under a military occupation. A curfew is declared in the camp at midday. People returning from work cannot get back in.

A house is b u lld o ze d b ecau se somebody who is suspected of ter­ rorism lives in a room there.

"J'm comfortable if this is the worst action I've to take," says Benyamin ben Eliezar, military governor of the West Bank. (The military governor of Gaza refused to talk to the film team, but ben Eliezar had obviously done similar things in his territory.) "This is the only way other families would understand that they should educate their kids bet­ ter," he adds.

Eight-year-old Suhail is shot dead while playing in the sand as the Israeli Defence Forces open fire on rock­ throwing demonstrators. His mother grieves; his father gets entangled in the legal system of the military occupation.

Former Israeli Defence Minister Ariel Sharon has made his home in Gaza.

"W e've pacified these people," he 'boasts. "It's something the Americans could not do in Vietnam."

Mandell, a former Daily editor-inchief, was on hand to answer questions.

She spoke of the hazards of filmmaking in the territories occupied by Israel — trouble with military personnel on the ground, with the censors, military and civilian, in Israel.

The film was considered too pro­ vocative to be shown in Israel. It was shown in three countries in Europe and quickly countered by press releases by Israeli embassies.

"If a film is censored in Chile or Argentina, you say 'Look my film was censored!' and everyone rushes to see it in the W est," Mandell said. "But if a film is censored in Israel, most people assume that it should have been cen­ sored."

The filmmakers do not intrude in the film at all save for a few subtitles. The film is carried forward solely by pro­ tagonists although at times a little nudge from the directors would have made the film flow better.

But that is minor criticism. Gaza Ghet­ to is a major contribution to our understanding of a major human pro­ blem.

The film is being screened at the Ecole Polytechnique of the Université de Montréal on March 12, 6 p.m.

U nderw ired O verem phasize Men In M arch Forth

by Daron Westman and Robert Todd Tuesday night's performance of the women's theatre group Underwired at Tatou was supposed to be part of the events marking International Women's Week, but judging from the content of the skits it could have been Interna­ tional Men's Week.

The women spent almost all of their time focusing on "male" behavior and had little to say about the strengths and abilities of women. For the most part it was the male characters who acted, who initiated events, who shaped the situation, while the women only reacted. It is true that the audience was supposed to disapprove of what the men were doing, but Underwired didn't challenge the basic assumption of the patriarchy that men are doers and women are doomecfto remain passive and victimized objects. Their men were strong and powerful (if dangerous and evil), while the emphasis was on seeing women as victims. What would have

been less insulting to women would have been the joyful celebration of women and their relationships with each other, with the aim of creating new and encouraging images of power­ ful women. The best that Underwired could offer was a couple of rhetorical lines about the necessity of women "standing up" and "marching forth" delivered without a trace of sincerity or passion. Even the few times when the women did fight back, it was very forc­ ed and mechanical and not at all believable. The only moments of heart­ felt emotional intensity came when the performers were venting their personal anger at men, as if group therapy could be dressed up as political analysis.

It is therefore difficult to believe that these are the same women who, accor­ ding to a recent article in XX Press by troupe member Barbara Kerr, aim to ex­ press "our hope for a more equal iruture" and "to empower other women."

Underwired's idea of empowering

women appears to be encouraging them merely to hate men. This ap­ proach is self-defeating, unfair to men, and a violation of the fundamental feminist principle of self-determination.

These women are doing to men what they accuse men of having done to women; they are taking it upon themselves to define and malign men.

All of the many images of men presented by Underwired are extremely negative and stereotypical caricatures.

As a result, Underwired seemed to imp­ ly that to be a man is by definition to be a disgusting fool, a predatory sex maniac, a walking peni?with a will of its own, a violence-prone harrasser of women, and an egotistical and emo­ tionless robot. (Sure, some of your best friends may be men, but would you want your sister to marry one?)

In "Sexism Night in Canada," Man is a vile and repulsive creep who mauls women while in "The Supportive Wife" the longsuffering women carry their stupid and obnoxious husbands around

on their backs. In "The Bedroom" a tired woman fends off Man's uncon­ trollable sexual urges. She tells him repeatedly that she is tired, that he will survive just one night without sex, and has to reassure him that his balls will' not burst if he does not have the allimportant orgasm. The scene ends with the sound of two balloons bursting. Im­ agine the outcry if a men's theatre group made fun of women's breasts this way. Imagine a men's theatre group.

The first song performed by Under­ wired, called "Rational Man," gave us such memorable liqes as "Compassion is foreign to your way of life," "You're a rational man, emotional cripple," "Man Machine," and finally "You're a robot man, all you feel of emotion is a deep dark fear."

In "Mutual of Omaha's Masculine Kingdom,” the Male Ego is a continent millions of miles in area, including such features as the Jungle of Male Hypocrisy, the Quagmire of Stifled Emotions, and the Mountain of Male

Pride, the highest mountain in the world.

The hatred of men reached such an extreme that when, during one of the improvisational games, a character walked on stage identified only as one of the women's ex-boyfriend and the woman accused him of being a "fake sympathetic man," members of the au­ dience called out "Shoot him" and "Kill him." One performer even joked that they should make an "inverted snuff film." This suggestion was receiv­ ed with wild approval.

At the end of Underwired's perfor­ mance, Elise Moser and Barbara Kerr in­ troduced the concluding act, a band called Democracy Dick and the Af­ filiates. Moser seized on the word "dick" and proclaimed that women should have the stage to themselves during International Women's Week and that penises should be banned.

Ironically, when the women of Under­ wired did have the stage to themselves they chose to talk about men rather than women. In this respect, and in what they said about men and women, these feminists merely repeated the lies of the patriarchy they were supposedly attacking.

Underwired's message that men are inherently aggressive and dominating dovetails with the views of male suprem acist anthropologist Lionel Tiger. Their belief that men are obsess­ ed with sex mirrors the image of men is pornography. The idea that men have no emotions is common both to Under­ wired and the patriarchal dogma that "big boys don't cry." And both believe that men can never change.

A feminist theatre group could play a valuable role in creating new images of women and the way in which women and men can relate. Underwired is

Accessible Fashion in Fashion du M onde

by Alexandra Douglass Fashion trends originating from the fashion centres of Paris, London, Tokyo, Madrid and New Yéork were brought together last Wednesday and modeled for a capacity audience of Montreal fashion buffs in the Grand Salon of The Queen Elizabeth Hotel. The fashion show was organized and presented by the Allied Jewish Community Services, with all proceeds going to the Young Adult Division of the same.

Misled somewhat by the advertising, one might have expected freshly flown in originals coupled with top New York models. Contrarily, most styles, model­ ed by friends and family of the organizers, were a season or so behind and indeed could be purchased at the nearest Le Chateau. But then, what is the harm in this? What good are entic­ ing designs which, to try them on, re­ quire an entire pay-check plus plane fare? Instead, fashionbable yet easily ac­ cessible items were modeled, which in­ cluded a few accurate predicitons of future trends. Clothing suppliers includ­ ed such Montreal based manufacturers as Le Chateau, Louben, Chez Beatrice and Creations le Mariage.

Fashion du Monde opened with crea­ tions from London, Paris, Madrid and Tel Aviv. Figuring highly were cotton blend, linen and brocaded jackets in bright exaggerated prints. Drop-waist, lacey flapper gowns coupled with

elbow-length gloves were featured: pro­ bably Paris' answer to the Prom dress.

Also Paris' answer to the traffic light: blinding combinations of cotton plaids and polka dots. Watch out for electric oranges and lime greens, most likely patterned together. (Ouch!)

According to Fashion du Monde, cot­ ton of every blend and texture will be the summer mainstay. It is also ad­ visable to save those handy velcro shoulder pads from this past 1985/86 sweater line.

Men's suits featured were of pale raw linen plaids with contrasting tie. In the true and oftern irritating Miami Vice style, sleeves were invariably rolled and ties loosened. Occaisionally, colorful suspenders were an added accessory, accompanied with a raised collar or two. For warmer days, unisex cotton walking and boxer shorts in bright floral and fruit prints once again made their claim to fashion.

Madrid offered tiered cotton dresses in starchy white, red and black solids, while Tokyo tended towards streamlin­ ed silk and satin co-ordinates in soft mauves and peaches. And by the looks of it, be prepared to grin and bear wideleg pants. They are en route from the east and destined to arrive sooner than anyone would like.

by Quendrith Johnson The current printmakers exhibit at Galerie Diana Archibald is a delightful mix of works from Quebec, the United States and Europe, covering thirty years of printmaking. Historically the process of printmaking is divided into three basic categories: relief, intaglio, and planography.

Relief referred primarily to woodcuts in the 15th and 16th centuries;, however, by the 17th century, relief ex­ panded to include copperplate engrav­ ings, which resurfaced at the beginning of the 20th century with the work of Ed­ vard Munch and the German Impres­ sionists. Intaglio is derived from the Italian word intagliare, to carve, and the French tailler, to tailor, comprising drypoints, etchings, mezzotints, and aquatints. Planography dates from the early 18th century and is also known as lithography. Lithography is one of the most fascinating processes because it calls for the use of special stones, primarily Bavarian limestone, and re­ quires great expertise in order to suc­ cessfully complete the repeated ap­ plications necessary to produce col­ ours.

Printmakers Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, and Ellsworth Kelly ap­ pear in the exhibit. Lichtenstein's lithograph “ Bull l-IV" is a series of modifications from barnyard animal to lines, planes and circles, following a journey from literal representation in previous art through Picasso and Cubism to 20th century artforms. Jasper John's "Device" 1972 is a mysterious lithograph being both an invention on paper and a scheme divided by design, ambiguous as the title itself. Jim Dine's “ Blackbeard” pays homage to popular objects and is part of his renowned

paintbrush series. Ellsworth Kelly's green on white triangular lithograph reiterates the American concern for por­ traying common objects, and he con­ denses the patterns of many objects into a single work. “ Etude au Burin,” a 1973 burin engraving by British born Stanley William Hayter, begins the exhibition.

The work was achieved with a sharp steel cutting tool, or burin. As a graphic artist and painter, Hayter influenced printmakers of Quebec and the United States. In 1927 he opened Atelier 17, a Parisian studio which served as the pro­ totype for a later New York version of he studio. At both places, Hayter developed new graphic techniques.

Reknowned Montreal printmaker Albert Dumouchel studied with Hayter and is represented in the exhibit by the technical lithographic work "La Chasse aux Outardes."

Lillian Morgan, another distinguished M o n tre a l p rin tm a k e r, has tw o monotypes in the Diana Archibald ex­ hibition. In talking about her work, Morgan stresses the importance of movement and music. She is intrigued by colour associations with music, especially in Jazz. The smaller 1961 monotype is laden with colour washes and kinetic shapes. Both works have a painterly quality that balances with the more technical pieces in the show.

Located upstairs at Galerie Diana Ar­ chibald at 1460 Sherbrooke, the printmakers exhibition will continue until March 29th. The exhibit provides an ex­ cellent opportunity to view a wide range of printmaking techniques in­ cluding more recent photo mechanical processes. It is a way to become ac­ quainted with the diverse and appealing qualities of the print.

New C om plex Allen Seen In H annah

by Steve Sergo In what is probably his most mature and ambitious work to date, Woody Allen has created a film which is at once dramatic, funny, romantic and inspir­ ing. "Hannah and Her Sisters" is a mile­ stone in the career of one of today's most respected film makers and sets a new standard by which his future films will be judged.

The film tells the story of three sisters and their relationships with their friends, parents and lovers. Hannah (Mia Farrow) is the eldest and "strongest" sister. She has given up a successful acting career to become a homemaker. Holly (Diane Wiest), the

insecure middle sister, lacks Hannah's theatrical ability and is indecisive as to what to do with her life. Lee (Barbara Hershey) is the youngest and the pret­ tiest of the three who we learn is surpris­ ingly a former alcoholic.

Figuring in their lives are Elliot (Michael Caine) Hannah's husband and a financial consultant, Frederick (Max von Sydow), an older, anti-social artist who Lee lives with, and Mickey (Woody Allen), Hannah's ex-husband, a televi­ sion producer.

The film follows the characters through seveal years as they search for love and meaning in their lives.

Through the use of interior monologue, Allen is able to create a fascinating psychological film while easily develop­ ing the plot and keeping each of the characters fresh in the viewers mind.

Allen has once again cast himself as the hypochondriac: this time obsessed with the inevitability of death. His character provides both comic relief and simultaneously the philosoophical framework thatJends significance to the actions of the other characters. Mickey searches desperately for the answers to answerless questions about death, afterlife and God, and he cannot understand why those around him are not troubled also. "H ow the hell do I know why there were Nazis?" his father

Th e

demands. "I don't even know how a can opener works!"

The film contains many beautiful though somewhat selctive) shots of New York as Allen continues his love af­ faire with the Big Apple. With this film, longtime Allen cinematographer Gor­ don Willis has been replaced by Carlo Di Palma.

In many ways "Hannah and Her Sisters" is the film that Woody Allen has been making since the outset of his seventeen year career. The beauty, the strength of this film lies in his ability to strike a balance between the diverse, often contradictory elements that have been present in his previous films: the slapstick comedy of his earlier films such as "Take the Money and Run", the re-affirmation of love in "Annie Hall",, his Bergmanesque "Interiors", all are represented here. The mulititude of skillfully juxtaposed, themes makes this by far Woody Allen's most complex and subtle film to date.

"Hannah and Her Sisters" is the simultaneously profound yet jocular.

Whereas "Anne Hall" was an affirma­ tion of love, "Hannah and Her Sisters" is an affirmation of life itself. Upon leav­ ing the theatre one has the feeling that 'something is right in the world’.

Local Indy Bands Show cased

by Andrew Williamson Club Soda last week played host to the first Montreal New Music Festival, a 4-night showcase of local independent bands. "N ew " is perhaps a bit of a misnomer, referring to the fact that the participants are without major recor­ ding contracts rathterthan purveyors of 'alternative' music (Let's face it, there's no longer such a thing as alternative music).

The festival kicked off Thursday even­ ing with sludge masters Deja-Voodoo, 60's punk revivalists The Cruesomes, and rockabilly bopsters Ray Condo & the Hard Rock Goners. Gerard Van Herk and Tony Dewald (D.V.) were not born—they evolved out of the primor­ dial slime. Their music went through no such evolutionary process. The bogsound of Gerard's turgid 4-string guitar and growling monotone vocals along with Tony's cymbal-less pounding may be predictable but it's fun as hell. Faves like Mashed Potatoes were played, the crowd cheered, and the duo rushed off to Halifax, leaving everyone satiated. If Morrison was the Lizard King then these two are definitely the Crown Princes.

The Cruesomes are a bit of a phenomenon on the local music scene.

Only together since Christmas (before which none of them could play in­ struments), these four young lads have won a solid core of followers. The in-, fluence of The Yardbirds, The Seeds and Q65 were evident throughout their set, and if they haven't quite mastered their music they certainly have mastered their 'groovy' image. However, as Gruesome John pointed out their humourous side didn’t come across on Thursday. Perhaps some of the faithful were also absent as the audience reac­ tion was surprisingly muted, perhaps because others were silently asking for the same thing I was: more diversity and originality. Given this, which will un­ doubtedly com e with time, The Cruesomes shou ld do w ell for

themselves regardless of the fact that they have yet to face real competition in their genre. Check out the album to be released in April.

Rounding out the og label evening was Ray Condo &his Hard Rock Goners who put on a first rate show despite gremlins in their equipment. Their country & western and 50's rockabilly stylings had the dancefloor crowded throughout the lengthy set, which was unfortunatley missed by the may who chose to make an early departure.

Best of luck to all the Og men (under Gerard's directorship) on their upcom­ ing Ontario tour.

Friday evening was quite fittingly, VOT night since their entire Festival was orchestrated by VOT head Duncan MacTavish. The club was invaded by Much Music types, so look for yourself onthe small screen if you were there.

Opening act Rhythm Method are purveyors of catchy, disposable pop dit­ ties, the type that will get massive AM airplay for a week and then disappear.

Don't get me wrong—these guys will go far given that first big break, but they'll do it on the backs of screaming prepubescent girls (some of whom seemed to be in attendance on Friday). If you like standard 4/4 Hall & Oates-esque tunes amply seasoned with repetitive guitar and keyboard solos, you'll like Rhythm Method. If not, consider yourself forewarned.

"This can only get better", I found myself saying, and indeed it did. Much better. But then again, This "Blue Piano" comes across well all the time it seems. This band has opened for the likes of Aztec Camera, Lloyd Cole and Everything but the Girl in the past, and released a not inconsiderable amount of recorded material, which all contributes to a tight and self-assured style and stage presence. These days any band with folksy lead and rhythm guitars will inevitably acquire an REM labelling, but don't stop there in describing This "Blue

Piano".

Difford and Tillbrook (Squeeze) could easily have penned TBP's "City of Tears" and strains of The Dave Clark Five kept popping up. An aspect perhaps overlooked is the aggressive rhythm courtesy of Ken Ashdown and Colin Cahill on bass and drums respec­ tively, which repeatedly evoked images of Foxton and Buckler (The /am). In­ deed, guitarist and vocalist Stephen lamont, a Belfast native, admits the in­ fluence of later Paul Weller on his own style. If you have the chance, catch TBP while they are still doing the local club circuit (including Certs on the 20th with Weather Permitting), for already they are being courted by major labels. Look also for a new L.P. later this spring and a possible opening slot for Ye Olde Smiths should they make it into town.

Finally Weather Permitting took to the stage and had everyone scrambling to find labels to slap on them: alas, to no avail. The style can best be called "pro­ gressive retro" (excuse the paradox), an early 70's guitar sound for the 80's.

Standout numbers included I'm Getting Duller Every Year (Eric Clapton does the Beatles) and Almost Happy, which has definite vinyl potential. W hile they are maybe not as tight as one would like, their unaffected style and image is cer­ tainly reassuring in this era of hollow trends.

Unfortunately, the Trib publication schedule didn't allow time for inclusion of the second half of the Festival in this review (The Darned, Secret Act, Ethnic Drivers, Chapter 24, Dub U5, and Seven Sisters) but I left Club Soda on Friday night with great expectations for the next two nights. All in all, it was heartening to see the best of Montreal's local talent in a decently equipped venue. Hats off to Duncan MacTavish and the people at Faze Music for a job well done, and here's looking forward to the second annual New Music Festival.

Letters To The Editor O pen Letter to the Daily Publications Society I have spent the past week closely ex­ amining the mysterious and subversive inner workings of our newspaper, The McCill Daily, and have some important observations to make in the light of cur­ rent discussion and events. These will relate particularly to Sunday's editorial board elections.

Firstly, some voter turnout com­ parisons: At the last Students' Council meeting, where the new MSS Constitu­ tion was ratified, quorum was barely maintained. The number of members present hovered at 19, or 68% of Coun­ cil. For many years now, MSS elections have only managed to draw somewhere in the area of 12-15% of eligible voters.

At Sunday's elections, however, except for the last two of sixteen elected posi­ tions, an average of 45 staff members out of 58 voted, or 78%. It must be em­ phasized here that all of Sunday was devoted to this provess, from 10h00 to 18h30.

Secondly, it is worth describing the election procedure: • all candidates for all positions are 's c re e n e d ' in d iv id u a lly , w h ic h amounted to 27 screenings. A screen­ ing committe of three is set up in ad­ vance and chairs the meeting. They construct a series of relevant ques­ tions for each position and the can­ didate is grilled for up to thirty minutes, before the entire assembly, on every aspect of his/her potential position. This allows the voters to make an intelligent and comparative judgement as to the candidates' com­ petence, intelligence, ethical integrity, personality, commitment and writing ability.

• Voting by proxy is not allowed. Only members who have witnessed all the screenings for a position may vote on that position.

• Voting is repeated until a candidate has the support of at least 50% plus one of the assembly.

• No candidate is elected by acclama­ tion. If unopposed, the candidate must nonetheless undergo the full screening process and voting takes place on a Yes / No basis. The assembly thus has the opportunity of rejecting an unopposed candidate if he or she is not competent to fulfill their responsibilities.

• Even in contested races, all the can­ didates may be no-voted and rejected.

The thoroughness, patience, and commitment with which these elections are carried out puts all other elected bodies on this campus to shame. Fur­ thermore, the level of openess, integrity and honesty pervading the process and exhibited by almost all involved is of the highest standard that I have en­ countered at this university, and is heartwarming.

Finally, a remarkable sense of humour was exercised throughout the day. This is not a trivial fact. It is a virtue to not always take oneself too seriously,

Reely Trivia

by Robert Heuser

Triumph of the Will 1) What is Adolf Hitler's famous book called?

Moscow does not Believe in Tears 2) What year does the film begin in?

3) What is the profession of Katerina's lover?

A View to a Kill 4) W ho wrote the title song?

5) Around which famous monument does a spectacular chase take place?

6) What is Grace Jones' character's name?

The Film Society would like you to see one of our films for free this week.

To do this come to Room 423 in the Union Building on Tuesday between 2 and 5 p.m. with the answers to four of these six questions.

This is not flippancy; it is a healthy and intelligent sense of perspective — a sense of perspective which the majority of the student body does not seem to be sensitive and perceptive enough to ap­ preciate. It also demonstrates an ex­ tr e m e ly f e r v e n t, q u ic k , and sophisticated imagination — the most crucially important trait for writers and critical thinkers.

I am not blind to the fact that the Dai­ ly has weaknesses. My point is that it also has tremendous strengths; that the common perception of the people in­ volved are grossly mistaken; and that all talk of it being undemocratic is absurd. I commend the Daily staff, and thank

them, for their creativity, dedication and integrity.

Tribute: Varsity Swim m er Makes A Com eback

by Eddy Lang At this year's Athletics banquet on April fourth, two major awards will be presented for the first time. The Martlets Trophy is an award which, according to the provided criteria is presented to the "team which brought the most credit to the University by reason of its athletic achievements". The other presentation is an individual award that recognizes courage and unbreakable spirit in athletics, it is an unassuming fourth year medical student here at McGill. His name is Mac Teskey.

M ac T esk ey Mac came to McGill in 1982 and quickly established himself as the varsi­ ty swim team's star athlete. He was the type of individual one could not help but admire, leading the team both in and out of the water. Mac dominated all competitions, setting four team records in the process and as captain he bolstered team spirit, offering advice and moral support to all. Dedicated to his studies in Medicine, Mac was a role model, especially for impressionable rookies like myself.

Following the Q U A A championships in February of 1984 and prior to the CIAU games, Mac was noticeably ab­ sent from afternoon workouts. Then, like a numbing pain came the almost unbearable news: lung cancer.

Before any of his peers could come to grips with Mac's predicament, a large chunk of his cardiopulmonary system was surgically removed. The months to follow saw Mac enduring intensive chemotherapy treatment. Not a day passed without his friends saying a prayer for him, but a fear of what we might find kept us, for the most part, away from the hospital ward.

It began in the fourth week of chemotherapy like explosions of good news in the rumour mill that was the McGill swim team. "The doctors think the prognosis is good." "Mac's atten­

ding classes hooked up to an I.V." "Mac's dropping by the pool for short swims." and finally, though with hedg­ ed elation, "Mac's off chemotherapy".

Mac Teskey's incredible comeback was just beginning, with increases in swimming mileage came increases in strength and stamina. In September of 1984, with weight and hair largely regained, Mac began training with the varsity team. His early struggle with the cancer's legacy was apparent to all his teammates. My most vivid memory of this time was the shallow rapid breathing that could be heard in the silence following a tough swim set, enabling one to know, without looking, that Mac was in the pool.

Prior to his illness, Mac was an outstanding long distance swimmer but with most of one lung gone, focus was shifted to the shorter distances. For months, Mac trained in the weight room and in the pool. By November, what was once inconceiveable became reality. Mac was one of the the team's most powerful freestylers and his com­ petitive record improved accordingly: Sixth at Queen's, a third place at the M cGill Invitational, and a first in the 100 meter freestyle at Sherbrooke.

In January of 1985, former swim team coach Mike Sharadin initiated the establishment of an athletics award that would carry Mac's name and recogniz­ ed all forms of "guts" in sports. Efforts to raise a permanent financial endow­ ment for the award were greeted with incredible support. After a tortuous route through various levels of athletics administration, and with the support of Bob Dubeau and Harry Zatins of McGill, the Mac Teskey Award achiev­ ed final approval by the Athletics' Board in December of 1985.

According to established criteria, "The Mac Teskey Award is presented to any present or former Mcgill Inter­ collegiate athlete who, within this academ ic year, has demonstrated courage and m orale w orthy of honorable m ention. T h is award recognizes athletes who, through sport, have somehow inspired those around them." Nominations are confidential and may be submitted by anyone, to Harry Zarins at the Currie Gym by March 17. Sports Council subcommit­ tees will vote on approved nominations.

This year Mac has taken up, and is ac­ tively training for, the Modern Pen­ tathlon. In July, he begins internship at the Jewish General Hopsital, here in Montreal. Regardless of where his career takes him, the Teskey Award will remain at McGill, as a monument to his accomplishments.

M cGill's C lint...T he Enforcer

by Glen Cunningham The month of February was an ex­ citing and satisfying one for the McGill Redmen basketball team. On the 21st, they shellacked the top ranked Concor-. dia stingers 88-70 to force a playoff for the Québec University Athletic Associa­ tion (QUAA) title. On the 28th, McGill beat Trois Rivières 68-63 which set up a showdown with Concordia for the title.

O n ce again, the Redmen won, this time by a 68-66 score.

While these victories were the result of a total team effort, one of the big names seemed a little larger than most during those critical games. The name was Clint Hamilton. In the first game against the Stingers, Clint had the type of game that legends are made of.

Hamilton, a 6'6"-205 pounder out of B .C .'s Okanagan Valley outshone Stinger All-Star Rob Latter to such an ex­ tent that he was nearly invisible.

Hamilton followed coach Schildroth's game plan to the letter, as his awesome display of hard-nosed basketball frustrated Latter and the Stingers time and time again.

In the second half of the game alone, Hamilton pumped in 24 points, as he conducted a clinic in how to play of­ fence. In total, Big Clint finished with 26 points and an astounding 18 rebounds.

A fte r th e g am e , H a m ilto n acknowledged the plaudits that he received by saying that "That's how I would like to play every time out." After a moment's pause, Clint added "That1s how I'm supposed to play every time out!"

Hamilton comes to McGill as a transfer from the University of Victoria where he was a member of the 1983-84 National Champions. Clint also played for the junior varsity in Victoria under current Redmen coach Ken Schildroth.

It was because of Schildroth's influence

that Clint decided to head east. "Coach Schildroth has had a major positive in­ fluence in both my basketball and in my career," said Hamilton. "I have a lot of faith in the way he does things."

Travelling the vast distance from the Pacific to the St. Lawrence says much about the faith that Hamilton places in his mentor. After all, Victoria has won the last 6 national championships.

When asked if he had any regrets, Hamilton responded "none at all" without a moments hesitation. "Coach Schildroth expressed confidence in my ability to help the program here at M cGill." Not insignificantly, Clint also credits his teammates. "They have been great to play with” he adds.

The Q UA A final on March 2nd was nothing short of a classic, as the game was not decided until there were only two seconds remaining. Time after time, McGill fought back from adversity with pride and determination, and they beat the Stingers as a team. The inspirational leader in this game was once again Clint Hamilton. In his much heralded rematch with Latter, Hamilton once again stole the Stinger ace's thunder, although the Con U giant did have a very good game.

The two big men had it out all after­ noon, and when the früstration began to show on Latter, he forced Clint out of the game with a nifty display of hatchetry. Although he was forced out of the game, Hamilton showed his mettle by coming back in to play after only a short rest on his newly sprained ankle.

As we all know by now, McGill won the Québec title that Sunday, and with the assurance that big Clint will return for two more years of play, chances are that they will win Québec once again next year.

When asked about Hamilton's pen­ chant to play better when angered,

\

Schildroth commented that "Clint's emotional threshold is a little higher than most." So you want to make Hamilton's day? Just push him a little too far. Then stand back and watch this Pale Rider control the boards on both ends of the court. That is where the en­ forcer rules!!

N om ination s are bein g and

by jordan Waxman The Cinderella story in Quebec varsi­ ty sports this year must be that of the McGill swim team. At the beginning of the year, the MeGill team was ranked dead last in Quebec, but on February 22nd and 23rd at the Q U A A Champion­ ships at Laval University, they proved themselves to be a force to be reckoned With.

The women's team, ranked 7th in Canada, finished just 12 points behind first place Laval. Manon Venne soundly whipped her opponents in the 200 metre individual medley and the 100 metre backstroke, and in the process, she shattered the McGill records in both events.

Cynthia Pincott, formerly with the University of Miami swim team, claim­ ed the 400 metre individual medley to take the women's third gold. The relay team of V.enne, Pincott, Nathalie Lpssier and Geraldine Cornel captured the women's 400 metre medley relay to grab M cGill's 4th gold.

Pincott credits the rookies on the team for much of the success that has been enjoyed by the women's team.

"They (the rookies) are performing in­ credibly well. They have truly helped this team arrive at where it is today.” In fact, 75% of the team consists of firstyear competitors.

The men's team also had a great meet, as they finished a strong third.

Jason Meeuwig, a first-year student, took home the first of two individual golds for the men. Meeuwig outpowered a field of 24 to win the 100

p osition s are open:

metre freestyle in a time of 54.76 seconds. The other first place finish was posted by team captain Jordan Waxman in the 1500 metre freestyle event.

The secret to the success of the McGill swimmers is undoubtedly team­ work. "Every swimmer earned points for the team at this meet," said coach François Laurin. "I have never seen such a unified team as this." Laurin predicts that at this time next year, McGill will be the top ranked team in the province, with the women's team in the top 3 in the nation.

In order to gain a higher ranking in Canada, McGill must schedule dual meets with other universities. Team of­ ficials are currently seeking the elusive major sponsorship that is needed to finance travel expenses for such a schedule.

"People at McGill are starting to perk up about the swim team," says coach Laurin. "There is renewed faith in our program now that we are winning; pro­ bably because no one expected this to happen given our past mediocrity and our slow start this year."

In fact, not since the great teams of In-. tercollegiate Co-ordinator Harry Zarins has McGill fâred so well in national and provincial competition. Zarins, a strong supporter of the team, is confident that Laurin and his athletes can regain the status of the strong McGill teams of the 1970's. If M cGill's performance at the Q U A A Championships in February is any indication of the team's strength and potential, then the varsity swim team will be at the top in no time.

R ed b a s k e ts L ose In P la y o f f s

by Frank Young The miracle season of the McGill basketball team ended Friday night in Waterloo as the University of Winnipeg Wesmen beat the Reds 85-75 in the regional playoffs. The loss means that McGill could advance no further in the national playoffs. The Redmen gained some consolation by beating the Calgary Dinosaurs on Saturday 85-78.

Winnipeg, ranked 8th in Canada won the game in the second half, as Red and White fouls dug McGill into a deep hole Tram which they could not emerge.

Gord Tucker was the Wesmen responsi­ ble for ending the season, as he popped in 30 points. Simon Onabowale was high for McGill with 19, while Bernie Rosanelli had 17.

In Saturday's consolation game, the Redm en faced the num ber 14 Dinosaurs who had lost to Waterloo on Friday. This time, McGill controlled play en route to a 7 point win. Big man for McGill was Clint Hamilton who had 27 points.

In the regional finals, held on Satur­ day, the Waterloo Warriors barely held on to defeat Winnipeg 63-62. The win means that Waterloo will play in the National Championship Tournament

agaisnt the num ber 11 Western Mustangs. In the other semi-final, the 6-time defending champion Victoria Vikings will tangle with the 12th ranked Saskatchewan Huskies. The winners of these two games will meet for the na­ tional title next weekend. Look for Vic­ toria to meet Waterloo, with the Vikings emerging as Canada's top team yet again.

For McGill it was a disappointing end to a great season that saw the Redmen win the Québec title in remarkable fashion with three consecutive pressure wins. The Reds had a record of 10-4 in the Q U A A and a 21-12 mark overall.

For the past few years, the Redmen have made large strides toward being one of Canada's top teams, and they are now at a point where they can be con­ sidered to be one of the 10 best teams in the nation.

To be able to accomplish all of this while having to contend with one of Canada's most restrictive academic ad­ missions policy is great tribute to Head Coach Ken Schildroth, Assistant Coach Carlo Del Bosco and all of the McGill Redmen. Although they lost to W in­ nipeg on Friday, the Redmen will not be losing many in years to come.
