Chrétien Focuses on Canadian Identity Crisis

by Bilquisse Visram “Are we w illing to remain Canadian, and pay the price to be Canadian if there is a price to pay?" This was the fundamental question posed by Jean Chrétien to a large crowd at the Fieldhouse Auditorium, last W ednesday evening. If the audience had previously harbored any doubts about their patriotism, by the end of Chrétien's in­ spring address, these were replaced by the urge to sing "O h Canada^-'.

O nly three weeks after his retirement from 23 years in federal politics, Chré­ tien proved that he hasn't lost his old 'House of Commons charm', keeping the crowd entertained for over an hour.

Chrétien spoke mostly of the Cana­ dian "identity crisis", "W hen I reflect on the Canadian scene today, and where we're going, what I'm a bit sad about is that only three years after we have patriated our constitution, and less than six years after we have won the referendum we don't know yet why we are in Canada."

Referring to the Americans as our best friends, Chrétien nonetheless stressed the importance of maintaining an in­ dependent Canadian identity, despite the "attractive mirage of the United States". He spoke warily of the propos­ ed free trade agreement with the Americans, "because I see all these businessmen getting very excited about free trade, and not thinking about what might be the consequences for the country....If you have only the dollar sign in your head, you might be all right to think about, 'let's make a deal quick'.

But it might be a short deal."

Chrétien claimed to be afraid of Mulroney's free trade agreement poin­ ting out that at present, Canadians en­ joy a 21 billion dollar trade surplus with

the United States; a fact that would surely give the Americans the upper hand at any trade negotiations.

Despite his reservations towards the Conservative trade policy, Chrétien denied allegations of being a protec­ tionist, claim ing instead that he is an in­ ternationalist. "I believe very strongly that it is the duty of the developed na­ tions to help the poor nations to pro­ gress", said Chrétien to a cheering crowd.

In another of the more popular com­ ments of the evening, Chrétien con­ tinued in this vein: "Some people com­ plain in Canada, because we have a too rich welfare system. I'd rather have a too rich welfare system, than a too poor welfare system."

There were a few in the audience however, who remained unconvinced

by Chrétien's charming disposition and appealing social stand. During the con­ troversial question period that followed his address, Chrétien was confronted by hostile allegations from a PartiQuébécois member, who claimed that Chrétien's behavior during the 1981 referendum question, "was not an act condusive to Canadian unity". Chrétien displayed his years of question period expertise, angrily countering, "W hat I have done is made sure that Québec was to remain in Canada, and for this I will not apologize to anybody!"

Although he came as a non-partisan spear, Chrétien was unable to disguise his partiality, and slyly managed a few good-natured pokes at both the Am erican's and the Conservatives, reminding the audience that, "the little guy from Shawinigan was around long before the little guy from Baie Com eau."

by Adeeb Khalid The entire staff of The M cG ill D aily was impeached last Tuesday as a result of a campus-wide referendum after the D a ily Pub licatio ns Society (DPS) Judicial Committee had finally ruled that the referendum campaign had been fair. The publication schedule of the newspaper, however, was not inter­ rupted. Five new staff members are ex­ pected to be appointed soon.

The referendum had taken place at the same time as StudSoc elections and referenda to ratify eleven proposed amendments' to the DPS constitution two weeks ago. However, the DPS Board of Directors has impounded the ballots because it considered that the campaign had been conducted unfairly because the YES committee had used epithets such as "racist" and "antisemitic" to describe the newspaper.

But last Monday, the DPS Judicial Committee ruled that the campaign had not been unfair, and ordered the ballots counted.

The results of the referendum were of­ ficially received by the Board of Direc­ tors Tuesday afternoon after the staff had laid out W ednesday's issue of the newspaper. This, the last issue to come out under the ancien régime, was large­ ly given over to the editorial comment on impeachment.

Reaction of the staff was generally bit­ ter. "I thought witch-burnings ended in the 16th century," wrote Editor-in-Chief Melinda Wittstock. Supplement editor (impeached) M ike C o rd o n waxed poetical: "Roses are red/Tories are blue/McCarthy makes a comeback/with over 1500 of you."

Former Senior News Editor Brendan Weston later told the Tribune: "The tolerance (of M cG ill students) for dif­ ferent ideas was tested and found wan­ ting."

Asked whether he expected many of the im peached staff to join the newspaper again, he said, "I don't see why they should not join it if they want to."

Weston, however, predicted that the staff "will be 'eft-wing again, because people with convictions work harder, and they work without getting paid.”

Earlier fears of financial disaster com­ ing from the suspension of publication were averted, however, as the four stu­ dent members of the Board of Directors decided to continue publication and to accept advertising.

Ken Monteith, chair of the Board of Directors, said "The decision (to con­ tinue publication) was taken in the best interests of the newspaper as it was felt that suspension of publication was like­ ly to drive away advertising." He was, however, careful to point out that the four student members of the Board of Directors did not constitute an interim editorial board.

Since Tuesday, the D aily has been produced by the employees of the Daily typesetting shop using Canadian University Press copy. Regular features of the newspaper such as "Letters" and "H yde Park" have not been published.

These will resume once an interim staff is appointed.

The Student Initiated Referendum has given the four elected student represen­ tatives on the DPS Board of Directors the mandate to appoint a core staff of five members in the event of the im­ peachment taking place. By the weekend, several applications had been received.

According to a letter from the four stu­ dent members of the Board of Directors published in the newspaper, the new appointments are to be made on the basis of "writing experience, and/or ex­ perience in the technical aspects of

newspaper production, familiarity with the machinery in the D aily office, and a declaration of intention to abide by the statement of principles" of the DPS. "I hope that people who voted in favour of the impeachment would be willing to come forward to work and change the paper as they wish," said Monteith. Monteith told the Tribune that the appointments would "probably be made by Monday evening."

These appointments wouid be to positions without title. O nce five staff are appointed, other students can join them under normal procedures.

Meanwhile, the status of elections for positions to next year's editorial board, held only two days before the impeach­ ment, was rendered murky by the im­ peachment. The new editorial board was to take office on May 1. Now, however, the validity of the elections is in doubt.

Monteith said, "I assume that the elections are invalid unless and until they are ratified by the new staff."

Even as it is, graduate student David Schulze is contesting the constitutionali­ ty of the old staff's granting of voting rights to shop manager Colin Tomlins.

Tomlins is not a M cGill student, and Schulze contends that the DPS constitu­ tion allows only students to have voting rights.

"The staff has jurisdiction in matters of procedure but it is always subject to the constitution," Schulze said.

Since Tomlins voted in the elections, the status of the entire election would be in jeopardy if his voting rights are found unconstitutional.

The Judicial Committee is still con­ sidering whether the complaint is rele­ vant anymore, now that the staff has been impeached.

Student Reps Added to CFRM Board

by Brian Todd An amendment to be proposed at tonight's Students' Co uncil meeting will effectively put the control of Radio M cG ill's new Board of Directors in stu­ dent hands.

The amendments proposed by Maria Lang, Arts Representative to Council w ill add two students-at-large and reduce the Students' Co uncil represen­ tation to one member. The Board of Directors will then number twelve.

"I wanted to increase the student membership generally to a majority as well as increase the number of studentsat-large relative to the student staffers," explained Lang. "Other councillors may ask for more students-at-large but in c h a ttin g w ith M a rt h a -M a rie Kleinhans, CFRM Station Manager, she expressed some worries about the un­ wieldiness of the body."

Both James Green, President ot Students' Society (StudSoc) and Kleinhans expressed satisfaction with the amendments. Said Green, "W e can change things. The composition of the Board can be changed if councillors want. The whole thing has been blown up to be a bad thing, which it is not.”

Said K leinhans, " I am perfectly amenable to Maria's amendment."

CFRM 's Board differs radically from that of CR SG , Concordia's student-run station which is also applying for a C R T C license. Their board of directors consists of two students-at-large, two student representatives of the Concor­ dia University Students' Association (CUSA), the station manager and one university representative.

CFRM 's board will consist (if Lang's

amendment passes) of two CFRM staff reps, one student councillor, one representative of the Montreal com­ munity, two student representatives, the station manager, the Dean of Students or his representative, the Principal or his representative, the StudSoc Executive Director and the Executive Director of the Graduates Society or his represen-^ tative.

Kleinhans explained the differences.

"W e tried to be really equitable. We started with two staff representatives.

Since the staff doesn't hire the station manager, we thought it was essential that they had a voice at the Board. Then we added an equal number of coun­ cillors and made sure that student in­ terests were controlling the station. W e have a community radio license, thus someone had to be appointed from the community.

"G avin Ross (the Graduates' Society Executive Director) w ill not sit on the Board and he w ill probably appoint an alternate from the community. The

M cG ill reps were added because it is M cG ill's station. They have a lot at stake. The StudSoc Executive Director was added for continuity."

Radio M cG ill’s by-laws are modelled after those of the University of Toronto's Varsity Radio which according to Kleinhans are almost identical to CFRM's and CSJW's. (CSJW is the stu­ dent station in Calgary.) Concordia's board on the other hand closely resembles that the Radio Carleton which is made of two students, two stu­ dent association representatives and one member of the general public.

Radio M cG ill's FM proposal also dif­ fers from Concordia's in that the station manager is hired by the Board of D irec­ tors rather than elected by staff. Said Kleinhans, "I don't want the station manager to be the winner of a populari­ ty contest. I want a manager hired for managerial skills. Continuity is impor­ tant to the station and an elected station manager does not guarantee that."

Baker, Davis, Gardner New Club Reps

by Jenny Henderson

Clubs' delegates got into the election act too last Thursday, though on a smaller scale than the rest of M cGill.

The three new clubs' representatives to Students' Council were elected by a clubs' assembly.

Kevin Davis, Film Society President, Grace-Ann Baker of the Programming Network, and Carlene Gardner of the W omen's Union will represent the con­ stituency of dubs at Studentl' Council.

The new threesome agrees that cooperation of all clubs is essential to any progress. Most clubs are on tight budgets and in tight space. They would like to see more funds coming from StudSoc, but a prerequisite for this is greater student involvement in clubs.

Gardner was the most adamant about the responsibilities of StudSoc to clubs.

"Students' Society exists for us to use them and not for them to use us," she said. "These are the three most impor-

Com bine Ousts Alliance

by Michael Smart

Fear and loathing may be putting it a little strongly, but the political machina­ tions behind last Thursday's election of three clubs' councillors demonstrated that M cGill's campaign trail is alive with intrigue.

Already as byzantine as dinner seating arrangements at the Court of StJames (and nearly as trivial), Students' Society politics took a new twist last week when a number of clubs' delegates to the election combined to defeat the "Alliance", a group of leftwing club members who last year took all three council seats.

Councillor-elect Kevin Davis told the Tribune last week that several clubs' delegates arranged in advance to vote as a block for certain candidates. The three candidates w ho apparently benefited from the conspiracy were Davis and Grace-Ann Baker (both of whom won) and Andrew Smith, who lost the election by a narrow margin.

The arrangement has been more a source of amusement than outrage among observers in the Union building.

Remarked Carlene Gardner, the third winning candidate and a member of the Alliance, "Sure, it looks like they had a pre-arranged plan, but we had one too—it's pretty standard."

Although the candidates did not ad­ mit publicly that they were running as a slate, the arrangement was obvious from voting results.

According to Gardner, Davis received seven votes on the first ballot and was elected, whereas Baker only received one. But on the second ballot, Baker also garnered a revealing seven votes and won.

Smith's vote total also surged on the third ballot, but with only six votes to Gardner's eight, he was defeated.

W hen approached by the Tribune, Davis was at first reluctant to talk about his (Dart in what was clearly meant to be a cloak and dagger operation. But even-

tually he admitted that "all the rumours are true" about the slate.

Davis defended the actions of his group and pointed out that the Alliance candidates had used an identical strategy in last year's club elections.

He said block voting was "the only way we were going to beat the Alliance.

Unless we organized we weren't going to get any seats at all."

D a v is was e le c tio n cam p aig n manager for StudSoc President-elect Paul Pickersgill and is currently Pickersgill's roommate. However, both he and Martha-Marie Kleinhans, Radio M cGill's station manager denied that the arrangement was an attempt to fill council seats with faces friendly to the new president.

Kleinhans said the anti-Alliance cam­ paign was mounted solely because "people were angry about the club reps this year and decided to do something."

However, Kleinhans is known to be close to outgoing President James Green who himself asked Pickersgill to run for the presidency.

Reached by telephone on Sunday, Pickersgill denied any role in the effort to coordinate delegates' votes.

tant positions on Council."

Referring to the StudSoc funds generated by the success of the fall debt repayment referendum, Gardner add­ ed, "That money is ours, as far as I'm concerned."

Baker is considering running for the Joint-Management committee of Coun­ cil as well. The committee oversees all of StudSoc's budgetary matters.

She emphasized the problem of a "lack of awareness of the clubs there are at M cG ill" and maintained that "working together for more student par­ ticipation" is the only solution for the passivity so popular at M cGill.

Davis suggested an additional ac-

Protesters Demand Inquest

by Tribune News Staff

Several hundred members of the Moroccan community in Montréal turn­ ed out in force last Friday to protest what they claimed to be the death due to police brutality of a Moroccan man last Sunday. The protesters demanded a public inquiry into the death and thesuspension of the policeman involved in the incident. There was also some concern on the wider issue of M UC police's relations with ethnic minorities.

Muhammad Abassise, 38, a V ille StCharles resident, was arrested last Sun­ day morning after a neighbour com­ plained to the police about the loudness of Abassise's music. Three hours later, he was found hanged by his shirt in his cell. Police say he committed suicide.

Abassise's widow, however, claims

that he died as a result of police brutali­ ty, and that the police are trying to cover up their crime.

A cco rd in g to protest organiser Abdoul-Karim Lansari, the police had "kicked and shoved" Abassise at his home in front of his wife and two children before taking him away to sta­ tion 13. According to Lansari, when Abassise's wife followed him to the sta­ tion, the police refused to let her see Abassise or to give a reason for the ar­ rest. "By the time she asked a lawyer to help, it was too late," Lansari said.

Lansari also stressed the fact that suicid e is extremely rare among M uslim s. "M uslim s don't comm it suicide unless they go completely crazy," he said, "and I don't see how he (Abassise) could have gone crazy

W arns Kleinhans, "W hat happens when that five years is over? Radio budgets have been cut in the past; it could happen again. The C R TC has told us that we need financial autonomy; that we need to live on our own budget."

over an argument with a neighbour."

"W e're a minority and we're deman­ ding our rights," he said. "Police brutalize us all the time, and it has got to stop."

Station 13 police refused to comment on the incident when contacted by the Tribune. The coroner's office would also not say anything.

The final decision whether to carry out an inquest into the death is to be made by Québec coroner Jean Grenier.

The protest began in front of the Complèxe des Jardins on Dorchester last Fri­ day, and moved on to the M U C Police Headquarters on rue Bonsecours in Old Montreal. "O n demande la justice" and "Non à la brutalité policière" were the slogans chanted.

The protest then wound its way through O ld Montreal, stopping at the Palais de Justice and dispersing at the doorstep of La Presse.

The turnout was remarkable co nsid er-, ing the cold temperatures and the brisk breeze. The protest remained peaceful throughout. This latest incident comes on top of persistent complaints in the past about the poor relations the Mon­ treal Urban Police has with ethnic and racial minorities. The inquest, if held would also be the first under a new Quebec coroner's law passed earlier this month.

Letters To The Tribune Defence of the Daily To the Tribune:

Harvey Yelen (Tribune, March 18) has missed the gist of my letter of March 1 1 .

It was this: to be an editor of an (almost) daily newspaper with a circulation of 18 000 requires experience, dedication to a lot of hard work, good writing skills, a high level of technical knowledge per­ taining to the sophisticated equipment involved, and a certain level of awareness of what is going on in the world around one.

My analysis of the D aily editorial board elections demonstrated that the process ensures that the people elected have the required competence. Mr. Yelen does not address this analysis in the least. Instead, he makes extraneous and irrelevant observations and several allegations which are false.

H e notes that none of,the recent staf­ fers who supported a failed internal im­ peachment motion were elected. I con­ sider this to be as relevant as the fact that none of the people wearing purple socks were elected. Those elected were those who demonstrated their com­ petence during the screening process.

Among the candidates, to whom Mr. Yelen refers was one who had no idea of what the structure of a news story is, what the PCSS is, how any of the typesetting equipment works, and was not able to construct a well-conceived, let alo n e g ra m m a tic a lly co rrect, sentence when given a group of facts.

This was after several months as a staf­ fer.

This is indicative of the "committ­ ment to saving the paper" of Mr. Yelen and his friends—a committment which did not motivate them to attend the last staff meeting. In fact, their concern in the running of the newspaper never seemed to extend beyond impeach­ ment motions and elections, which is sad.

As to his claim that the rest of the staff was trying to "prevent the inclusion of new blood", I would like to point out that of the thirteen editors elected, seven of them are first year students and four others have only been working on -the paper since the beginnig of this term. They are just as new as Mr. Yelen et al. However, they have actually been w orking and co nsequen tly know something.

Mr. Yelen seems to think that one can (and should) "change things" by merely stacking votes. His conception of the world is essentially static, barring the occasional raising of an arm. He does not notice that change is continuously being effected around him through ac­ tive involvement and participation. I suggest he try the latter tactic. Of course, in doing so he risks that he may be changed himself—God forbid!

Comparison Offensive T o the Tribune:

I am writing this letter in response to an advertisement that appeared in the last edition of the Tribune. The ad in question compared the staff of the M c G ill D aily to Ferdinand Marcos. I found the ad offensive and contrary to the behavior that I expect from respected student leaders. I know several of the individuals who paid for the ad and have always had great respect for them as individuals and as student leaders who were committed to improving M cG ill University. This is why I was so disappointed by their plac­ ing of this ad.

T h e re w ere m a n y le g itim a te grievances made against the D aily over the course of the year. Student leaders and paticularly the heads of student government have a responsibility to in­ volve themselves in the resolution of such conflicts when they arise, but this responsibility does not include personal animosity or attacks against indepen­ dent student organizations. The im­ peachment of the M c G ill D aily staff maÿ leave many feeling satisfied that they have won a personal victory, but it has been at the expense of the student body that this victory has been wrought. Stu­ dent leaders should work for conces­ sions, consensus, and reform, as oppos­ ed to attacks, harassment, and attempts to destroy. I am convinced that it was possible to resolve the problems with the D aily without the impeachment of the entire staff. Constitutionally, there was no way for the D aily staff to prevent M cG ill students from joining the newspaper, and with time this would have inevitably resulted in a a broader spectrum of opinion being represented in the paper. Such an approach would have been far more constructive. I believe that it is the responsibility of stu­ dent leaders to use such methods to resolve problems, as opposed to the short-sighted methods recently used.

After all, we elect student leaders to oromote student organizations, to ex­ pand their: reach, to increase their effec­ tiveness. But rather than engaging in such positive endeavors, our student government leaders have participated in the destruction of a major campus newspaper. If I were a student govern­ ment leader, I for one would not con­ sider that to be a proud achievement of my term of office.

Crim inal Athletes To the Tribune,

This letter is in réponse to Frank Young's column on drugs and sports in the March 18th issue. Mr. Young has missed one completely central point in

his article. The use of cocaine, mari­ juana, hashish etc. is illegal. Thus when professional athletes use these drugs, they are committing crimes. As Mr. Young will recall only too well, a number of major league baseball players testified at the infamous drug trials in "Pittsburgh.*Not one of these players were prosecuted for their admit­ ted drug use. Instead they acted as stool pigeons to put away two pushers. O b­ viously, these players should be punish­ ed. They are criminals! They use their inflated salaries to support their habit and also to support the drug trade that has infiltrated all levels of society. Mr. Young is quite correct in saying that the N H L has quite erroneously allowed drinking to escalate to dangerous pro­ portions, and yes it is deplorable for m an agem ent to use p laye rs as scapegoats for poor performance. Sure­ ly, though, Mr. Young would not have us believe that after paying players astronomically high salaries, manage­ ment should refrain from punishing players who show open contempt for the law by using illegal drugs. Furthermre, Mr. Young has the audacity to sug­ gest that management should pay for drug rehabilitation programs that don't work anyway. Just ask Michael Ray Richardson.

Students M isinform ed To the Tribune, Contrary to the information which ap­ peared in Tuesday's Tribune article, Daily Dismissal Question Counted, I

have never written a letter of support for the Yes committee of last weeks referen­ dum. I am in fact, out of sympathy with the aims and methods of this committee and am on public record as being so.

It is unfortunate that such misinforma­ tion has become standard fare for the average student hoping to form a reasoned opinion about a difficult and complicated issue. In part this is to be expected. The channels of comm unica­ tion at this university are limited, and many of the people who make it their jobs to inform their classmates of goings on are strictly volunteers. What is com ­ pletely inexcusable however, is the role which so-called student leaders have played in confusing their public. I am referring specifically to the ad which ap­ peared in on page 16 of Tuesday's Tribune, comparing the M c G ill D aily to the regime of former Philippine Presisent Ferdinand Marcos. It is difficult for the average student, even when the desire is there, to get factual information about M cG ill's political issues; James G reen, M ike O rr. Scott Keating, Beatrice Paijamans, Dave Rose, Marie Davis and Gracié Mimran have no such excuse.

These people have clearly not taken the time to ask the Board of Directors continued on page 9

Guatemalan Slide Show

by Keith Martin

M cG ill Crossroads has had a suc­ cessful first year as a M cG ill student organization and is looking forward to renewed activities in 86-87. Crossroads is a newly created organization commit­ ted to increasing awareness among M cG ill students about Third World development.

Guest speakers, movies, and slide shows have all been featured at our meetings, nearly all of which have had an excellent turnout.

Next year should be even more ac­ tive, with the club achieving permanent status as a M cG ill organization, and with two new executive members elected for next year (Meera Johri as V ice President Treasurer and Sharon R u s tin as V ic e P re s id e n t Administrative).

M cG ill Crossroads will wind up its fist year of existence with its final meeting this T h u rsd ay , 2 7 M arch , from 7:00-8:30 pm in Rooms 10 7-10 8 of the Student Union Building. O u r guest

speaker will be Paul Lemieux of the Social Justice Committee, an organiza­ tion which like Crossroads is committed to d e ve lo p m e n t e d u c a tio n . Mr. Lemieux has been to Guatemala several times on various projects, and he will g iv e a s lid e p r e s e n ta t io n on "Guatem ala: a Nation in Crisis".

The presentation will be followed by a question and answer period.

As always, everyone is invited and

welcome.

Act Is No Longer A Secret

by Johnny Yen

March has been a jake month for the music scene in Montreal. Following our first, and very successful New Music Festival, Secret Act has released their first full-length album. It hit store shelves a few days after the four-day Festival at which the band performed (although the press-release says the record appeared in February).

The end of March doesn't mean the end of all the excitement; these kids are soon making the journey to London, Europe's music-mecca.

My, Neighbourhood is Secret Act's se­ cond release, the title refering to nor­ theast Montreal, one of the city's poorer areas. The band thinks this new record is more professional and polished than their first album, Pick Me Up. This is un­ doubtedly due to the endless mixing by Morris Apelbaum. FHe is a well-known name in Montreal's independent music community, having worked with Dun­ can MacTavish on Vot Records' com­ pilation Listen. He was also nominated for some award called a Juno for work­ ing with some jazz-dude named Oliver Jones.

Apelbaum has given a sound quality and polish that is unusual from an in­ dependent release. The band's style lends them to a clear, uncluttered sound, however, I can't help thinking Apelbaum's production removed too much of the raw, young sound from this young band.

The music on My Neighbourhood is reminiscent of the Two-Tone sound made famous several years ago by bands like The Specials. The sound is very controlled. Robert Ranaldi's guitar

has that classic 1960's electric sound and you'd never know that drummer Michael Dennis admits to listening to h e a v y m e ta l. P h y llis O ro fin o 's keyboards provide a filling and con­ tinuity that gives the band that extra professional sound.

Ralph Di lorio's vocals are a matter of personal preference. I find them strain­ ed and limited at times, but there is also something unique about them. For this reason and because I think he will im­ prove with experience, I have decided that I do like his voice; at least in terms of Secret Act's overall sound.

Too many records today contain songs that leave you as soon as they end (and frankly, it's no big loss). My Neighbourhood has several songs that stayed with me after the first listen. The music and vocals on "O ur little Secret" sound like one of those slow, soulful Squeeze songs—easily my favourite on the record. I could see "That Certain Feeling" another of my favourites being a radio hit, in the fashion of the old Cars songs.

Perhaps the best thing about this album is what it could do to help Mon­ treal's independent music scene. We have some original and fun musicians, and also some indy labels that are help­ ing to promote and expose these musi­ cians. They have had varying degrees of s u c c e s s, and re co rd s lik e My N eighbo urh oo d show people the technical and musical quality of which indies are capable. Should Secret Act's stay in England be successful, it could be the beginning of much attention and respect towards Montreal's music com­ munity.

Cats Can Fly, a spunky upbeat band, is made up of four very talented musi­ cians. The founders, David Ashley, Mit­ chell James and Peter Alexander were joined by drummer Eddie Zeeman 3 years ago when Cats Can Fly was born.

W orking with producers Lou Pomanti and Lenny DeRose, they have sorted, rejected, and im proved the raw material of their demo days and created their debut album simply titled Cats Can Fly. The band's first single "Flippin' to the A Side" has been a popular request on C H O M 's Top Ten at Ten. Their second single, "Lies Are Gonna Get You", is quickly clim bing the charts and is now receiving medium rotation on most major radio stations. Catch Cats

Can Fly's Montreal debut at M cGill University on Thursday, March 27th.

O p e n in g for Cats C a n F ly is Montreal's own 39 Steps. 39 Steps has been riding on a wave of rave reviews particularly since they opened for the Cult at the Spectrum two weeks ago. 39 Steps, a popular Montreal band, has recently released their first LP unsurpris­ ingly titled "39 Steps". Undoubtedly, 39 Steps will soon be a national hit as the group's single "Flip Into The Crow d" is featured in the H annah and H er Sisters movie soundtrack.

Cats Can Fly and 39 Steps are two up and coming Canadian bands that are not to be missed!

Opening night of Dancing in the Woods by the M cG ill Contemporary Dance Ensemble in Players' Theatre was a spirited performance. The entire dance troupe is to be commended for the success of the production. Coor­ dinators Gillian de Gannes and Mathew Carm ody worked with the company in arranging the production of D ancing in the Woods, stipulating that each choreographer must use the theme of the forest. The eight dance pieces'all handled the woods differently, yet each used the same object, dowel rods, to Symbolize the forest.

A C le a r in g in th e W o o d s , choreographed by G illian de Gannes, was one of the most powerful moments of the production. Carrying candles and wearing papier mâché masks the four dancers appeared to be somewhat sur­ real as they moved to the music of the Talking Heads.

The next work, Battle in the Woods choreographed by Sarah Hayes, show­ ed excellent use of costume and lighting. The dancers in this piece were decorated with face paint as they per­ formed beneath soft red overhead lights during the mock battle scenes.

Cabin in the Woods, choreographed

by Mathew Carmody, was an in­ teresting portrayal of the roles between men and women, in that the roles were reversed.

Danse dans la neige Unites Diverse Media

by Jacki

I danced with light feet on the rough slopes of winter...I let the rhythms flow on, felt the space of daylight, broke it up and pulpated it...

—Françoise Sullivan This was the origin of a collection of works by three artists spanning thirty years and incorporating such diverse media as dance, photography, film, and printmaking in an exploration of gesture and the Surrealist creative process.

In the winter of 1948, the modern d a n c e r F r a n ç o is e S u lliv a n e x ­ perimented with the Surrealist theories of automatism in an outdoor perfor­ mance. Applying their emphasis on spontaneity to her choreography, Sullivan improvised a dance of gestures inspired by the light and forms of the slopes of Mont St. Hilaire.

Her piece was recorded in black-and white photographs by Maurice Perron.

The prints fixed Sullivan's strong simple gesture and the forms of her outdoor stage in sharp focus. In particular, Per­ ron carefully recorded the subtle varia­ tions in natural light from a diffuse,

smoky quality to harsh clarity that highlighted the rough, grainy textures of the mountainside. His photographs tra n sm itte d the la n d s c a p e and Sullivan's dance into a series of impres­ sions frozen in static images.

Meanwhile, a third figure worked simultaneously to preserve the move­ ment of the gesture in permanent form.

Jean-Paul Riopelle is probably best

their own particular style to the produc­ tion. The female members of the cast substantially outnumbered the male members; however both men, Mathew Carm ody and Benny Draier, con­ tributed a great deal in shaping the per­ formance of D ancing in the Woods.

The Ensemble itself consisted of fif­ teen members: Daphne L. Anderson, C ath erin e Booth, Andrea Brown, Mathew Carmody, G illian de Gannes, Alice Diamond, Benny Draier, Pamela Dorn, Sarah Hayes, Christina Leila, Mis­ ty McAlear, Kathy McNulty, Claudie Painson, Francine Raia, and Georgia Rondos. Each member contributes tc the operation and organization of the M cG ill Contemporary Dance Ensemble as well as in the performances. If you didn't have an opportunity to view D an ­ cing in the Woods, the Ensemble pro­ duces a full-scale performance each year. Based on the success of this per­ formance, the next one should not be missed.

known for his large abstract Action paintings, completed during his involve­ ment with the Quebec Automatiste movement. In this collaboration, he manned a movie camera to film what was to be a four-part sequence of a dance of the seasons. Unfortunately, the rest of the series was never com­ pleted and the first section has been lost. However, in 1967 Riopelle reap­

proached the theme of La danse dans la neige in a series of lithographs which, like the film medium, concerned the representation of four dimensional m o vem en t in tim e on a tw odimensional surface. Seen in context with Perron's photographs, the ex­ plosive, gestural line in the prints becomes a map of the energy of Sullivan's dance.

As well as the technical problem of representing movement, Riopelle's prints show the direct influence of the Surrealist automatism of André Breton, whom Riopelle had met in Paris. The lithographs' bold lines, dashed, scrawl­ ed and looped over fields of texture is a visual "automatic writing" that records the free impulses of the creative im­ agination in much the same way that the surrealist poet drew words from his unconscioüs mind.

The album Danse Dans La Neige, published in 19 77, finally collected the photographs and prints together. Until May 4, they can also be seen in the en­ trance hall of the Salle Wilfred Pelletier at Place Des Arts. Admission is free.

"An entertaining blend of contem­ po rary and tra d itio n a l B ud dh ist thought," the subtitle on the program, best describes The Awake, the one-act play, presented by MSS in association with ASUS and the Faculty of Religious S tu d ies, co m b in e s m odern and historical Buddhist perspectives with selections of classical Indian dance to create an entertaining and informative whole.

The play opens with an argument bet­ ween two students, C lair and Tom, on the relevance of Buddhism to modern times. Clair expounds the virtues of Buddhism until Tom leaves in a huff.

The following scenes illustrate the life and times of the Buddha, After living the sheltered life of a prince, he is rudely awakened by an accidental encounter with poverty, old age and death. His quest for understanding leads him to become a wandering monk. In this role, he dispenses advice to a variety of peo­ ple he encounters. These encounters il­ lustrate the nature of Buddhism in a parable-like fashion. Most touching is his meeting with the mother of a dead child, who cannot understand why it will not wake up. The Buddha tells her to fetch ten mustard seeds from a house where no one has died. She returns empty handed, having realized that "no one can escape death".

The concluding scene resolves the conflict between the opposing view­ points represented by Tom and Clair.

The actors, apparently amateurs, were generally good. Cindy Salken as the Buddha was convincing in her por­ trayal of a sheltered young man shock­ ed into realizing the ugly truths of life.

As the enlightened sage, she avoided the trap of giving pat answers. Most im­ pressive was Leonard Chabot, who played a variety of characters, including Mara the Tempter, who attempts to seduce the Buddha from his quest, a bloodthirsty, boastful thief, and a sym­ pathetic witness to the mother's plight.

He managed to do equally well in all of them.

The dances, while interesting glimp­ ses into Indian culture, were not in­ tegral to the plot. Most striking was "Tillana", performed quite skilfully by Kapila Jan. The complexity of move­ ment required the dancer to move hands and feet in different patterns all the while performing styhzea head and eye movements entirely new to au­ diences accustomed to Western dance.

Unfortunately, The Awake was per­ formed only twice on Saturday, March 15 . Perhaps the sponsors w ill see fit to run it again so that a larger audience can benefit from it.

Shashi Rôder, an underground Mon­ tréal artist, recently completed a series' of paintings reflecting her discontent with the South African racist régime.

The eight paintings will be donated to a group to help raise money for oppress­ ed South Africans.

The introduction to the series, com­ posed of poetry and an illustration, shows the present South African government situated on a pedestal of books. The titles of the books reflect the injustice of Apartheid. One of the titles is a quote from philosopher David Hume, stating "Blacks are parrots."

Beside this, Rôder includes a sarcastic remark: "W e should therefore engage them for our use."

The first painting of the series makes a statement about the oppression and isolation of those under Apartheid rule.

The piece also makes a parallel state­ m ent re g a rd in g the w o rld w id e discrimination of women, and the dou­ ble indemnity women of colour suffer.

Speaking about her first figure, Rôder said "she is seen only as her colour and identified by it."

The following paintings portray the in­ dividual struggle of women of all races and their efforts to establish themselves not exclusively as a race, colour, or gender — but as people.

The final figure in the series acts as a combination of all of the women work­ ing as a combined unit. The struggles these women encounter in the series

are overcome, as they are now inwardly and outwardly in touch with each other.

"They are now sharing in the modern linguistic community which reflects the liberated woman of any colour," said Rôder.

The artist insists that human sensitivity is not evident within the narrow spheres of the Apartheid government. She said she feels the 'colour struggle' for dominance in power and money is un­ natural and against human dignity.

Rôder believes we have to come to terms with looking beyond the colour of a person's skin, and replace this struggle with equality so that we may surface from it's vicious circle.

"I was not there when Hitler was the issue, that is something my parents were around for. I feel responsible for this one (African struggle) as I am alive. I would like to see the world move towards a Weltenschuung (Wittgensteinian notion for world view) that takes the issue of human dignity more clearly and widely without excluding anyone following under the group of woman, blacks, poor etc..," said Rôder.

"The germ of discrimination, no mat­ ter on what basis, has a peculiar rela­ tionship with brainwashing. It is selfperpetuating and unless nipped in the bud will be destructive. My art is in­ strumental in unravelling this process.

This is my one hope."

Awareness Is A Disability

by Tribune Features

"M y interest in the problems of the disabled is not a hobby, it's an obses­ sion." stated Samuel M iller one of the Co-ordinators of Access M cGill, M cGill Students' Society new standing commit­ tee.

Miller a doctorate student, first arriv­ ed at Mcgill in 1976. "At the time the line at M cG ill was that the diabled ought to go to Concordia for their undergraduate degree and then do grad work here." he recalled, "The rationale was that they would only have to deal getting to their faculty building rather than trying to negotiate the entire cam ­ pus."

Miller, who has a walking disability, proceeded to lobby then-Dean of Students Michael Hereshorn to gain im­ provements in the services offered to disabled students at M cG ill which Miller describes as lagging behind those at other universities in Montreal such as Université de Montréal and especially Concordia.

Since 1980 services have been im­ proved at M cG ill, but said to Helena Katz, another Access M c G ill co­ ordinator, "There's still a very long way to go." According to Katz, services for the visually and hearing impaired are still inadequate at M cGill.

"W hat goes on at M cG ill is a reflec­ tion on societal perceptions." Katz

commented, "The more obvious or 'blatant' the disability the more atten­ tion it gets. Visual and hearing im­ pairments are not obvious."

The Access M cG ill concept grew out of group formed about three years ago to improve sevices for the disabled.

Ir o n ic a lly said C o rr in n e Sm yth, Chairperson of the Committee, the group held its meetings in the Student Union Building, not the most accessible building on campus for the disabled.

The original Access M cG ill group withered away over several semesters, but it arose from the ashes this past December due, in large part, to the in­ terest taken in it by Smyth, a Social work student and faculty representative to M cG ill Student Council.

The new Access M cG ill has been con­ stituted as a standing conjmittee of council. "I think this gives us con­ siderably more clout as a lobbying body Within StudSoc and in the university." said Smyth.

According to Smyth, Katz and Miller, the new Access M cG ill w ill put its em­ phasis on the ideas which come directly from disabled students. "It's us saying 'this is what we need' rather than some one else saying 'what they need'; this w ill allow the university to use its funds reserved for the disabled in the most ef­ fective fashion."

Some of the suggestions which have

come out of Access M cG ill include pro­ posals for written transcripts of all class lectures and a policy, already in effect, allowing a disabled students to renew library books over the phone during the winter months.

M iller said one of the committee's primary goals will be to push M cG ill to "open" the university to the disabled.

Miller noted that M cG ill has the lowest disabled student population in Mon­ treal, one sixth that of Concordia.

Access M cG ill will be sponsoring a Disability Awareness week to run this entire week. According to Smyth the theme of this week is to promote understanding between the disabled and the non-disabled in a friendly, open fashion. "W e want to use humour, we don't want to make this a heavy-handed lecture." he said.

Today at 2 pm, Larry Poole, chairper­ son of the N D G Action Committee of Disabled Persons will speak on "In­ dependent living for the Disabled" in Union 107. Ed Rice, a disabled come­ dian from Markham, Ontario will be performing in two free shows in Ger­ trude's at 1 pm and 7 pm.

Access M cG ill will also be running in­ formation booths in Union 10 7/10 8 all week. For more information call 392-8977 or 392-8978.

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS’ SOCIETY | COUNCILLORS-ELECT The First two meetings of the 1986-87 Students’ Society Council will be held on Wednesday April 2nd and on Wednesday April 9th, 1986 Both meeting will be held in Room 1 0 7 /8 of the University Centre at 6:30 pm.

the future of the paper. At a time when calm, dispassionate leadership was call­ ed for, most of M cG ill's political elite has chosen to be cute. Insinuating cor­ ruption and tarnishing reputations is not cute, in this case it's gross irresponsibili­ ty. If it was the intention of these political figures to be humourous, they

should be careful that the biggest joke around M cG ill doesn't become its stu­ dent leadership.

S P Q T S II Knob Hockey Tourney

Cancelled, Apathy Blamed

by Harry G uv

Graphic Tom Inoué

Under The Bleachers

by Frank Young

Due to a rougher weekend than ex­ pected, this week's column is a real mess. I hope you will understand...

Most Overrated players in baseball:

Jim Rice, Steve Garvey, Ron Kittle, Tim Raines, Kirk Gibson, Andy Van Slyke, Storm D a v is . ..M o s t U n d e rra te d : Harold Baines, Tony Pena, Ranee M ulliniks, C h arlie Leibrandt, Bob W elch, Gary Pettis, Lee Smith...Ugliest Man in Basefall: W illie (E.T.) McGee. Worst Fans (attendance, knowledge, class): Montreal Expos, due to the fact

that I've run into a lot of Expo fans since October who have tried to rub my face in the dirt because of the Jay's heart­ breaking loss in the playoffs.

All-time Party Team : Starters: Joaquin A n d u ja r , P asq u al " N e rv o u s Breakdown" Perez, Dock "LSD " Ellis, Vida Blue, Fergie "O rder of Canada" Jenkins. Relievers: Ryne Duren (exYankee), Terry "Fat Tub of Goo" Forster. Infield: lb — Keith "W ho, me?"

Hernandez, 2b — Alan Wiggins, SS — Jim Morrison, for his name alone, 3b — Enos "Blizzard" Cabell, C — Darrell Porter. Outfield: LF — Dan Brouthers.

Brouthers, one of the great hitters at the turn of the century got so drunk on a train that stopped in Niagara Falls, that he went up to the gorge to get a close look, lost his balance and became the first man to go over the falls in a stupor.

C F — W illie W ilson, RF — Babe Ruth (Team Captain), Designated Hitter — W illie Mays Aikens. Bench: Tim "Rock" R ain e s, Joe " M r. C o n g e n ia lit y " Pepitone, Lonnie Smith, Hack "Burp" W ilson.

All-Tim e Psycho Team : Starters: Joa­ quin "Mr. Stable" Andujar, Juan "C lu b ­ ber” M arichal, Denny "M afioso" McLain, Dave "W alk on the W ild Side" Stewart, Roger "Catatonic" Moret.

Relievers: Al Hrabosky, Steve Howe Infielders: lb — Dave "Most Unpleasant Man Alive" Kingman, 2b — Jackie Gutierrez, SS — Gary "Mr. Finger" Templeton, 3b — Bill "Mad Dog" Madlock. Outfield: RF — Ty Cobb, CF — Jimmy "Fear Strikes Out" Piersall, LF — Pete "Kam ikaze" Reiser. Bench: Bobby "W hite Lie" Bonds, George Hendrick. Manager:- Billy Martin. Fan Clu b Chairm an: Alex Hilton.

You know that the state of heavyweight boxing is in bad shape when semi-Canadian Trevor Berbick wins one of the three titles. O n Sunday, Berbick beat Pinklon Thomas to gain the W B C version of the title. Ex-champ Thomas made $635,000 (U.S.), while Berbick earned $25,000. Said Berbick: "1 was very tempted to bet $25,000 on myself, but I couldn't because I am a soldier of the cross." In addition to win-

ning part of the heavyweight crown, Berbick also gets the Under Bleached quote of the week.

The M c G ill basketball Redmen, Québec champs and one of Canada's ten best teams, will face a formidable opponent tomorrow night at 8 in the Currie Gym . Tipping off against the Reds will be the W heelchair Wonders, a tough and spirited group of athletes who have disabilities.

W hile the Redmen may be a great team, they will have to play Wednes­ day's game from wheelchairs. W hile Coach Schildroth and the rest of the team are a confident group, it is doubful they will be at their best while seated.

For those unfamiliar with the sport of

over half of them had been played in the allotted time, but in the extra week, only one match was contested. Even worse, someone stole one of the result sheets. Undeterred, we set up an ex­ citing slate of second round matches.

What happened? In two and a half weeks, only one match had been played. Congratulations go to Rising Star Mike Murray and Trib Sports Editor Frank Young for being the only real diehard knobbers in the tourney. For the rest of the people who had signed

up and advanced to the second round, the Knob Hockey Showdown had been cancelled due to laziness. The last straw came when an alert Trib staffer pointed out the fact that one of the weaker com­ petitors had attempted to advance by indicating that he had won a match that had not ben played.

Due to these circumstances, the tour­ nament that opened in such a blaze of glory has died in a pit of apathy and dishonesty.

The University of Alberta Golden bears beat the Trois Rivières Patriotes on Sunday to take the Canadian Univer­ sity Cham pionship by a score of 5-2.

Good to see the goon squad go dow n...W hy is it that darts and snooker are two of the most popular spectator sports in England? Is it any wonder that England is in big trouble?...One thing that angers me to no end is the fact that the Gazette (and many other Canadian newspapers) will cover soccer scores from Romania, but will never have any stories on either pro basketball or any baseball team other than the Expos.

Statistical Oddities from the W orld of Baseball: Jim Rice once again led the

Majors in grounding into double plays last year, when he ended 35 rallies with tw in ki I li n g s ... Lo w e st a v e ra g e (minimum 250 at bats) National League; M a rv e ll W y n n e -P it t s b u r g h , .2 0 5 .. .A m e ric a n League; G eo rge Wright, .19 0 ...Most Home Runs Sur­ rendered...Dany Darwin, Milwaukee and Scott McGregor — 34...Pirates were shut out 19 times last year, which works out to once every 8 gamès...At the same time, their pitchers only tossed 6 shutouts...

I would just like to report one grapefruit league score from the weekend. Toronto Blue Jays, 18, Expos 8...Reardon was roughed up for 8 earn­ ed runs in just 1 1/3 innings...a sign of things to come perhaps?

Since my mind is almost blank at the moment, let's take a look at the world of golf. It seems to me that the weirdest names in sports belong to pro golfers.

Penny Pulz, Jerilyn Britz, N ick Faldo, Davis Love III, T. Sieckmann and Anita Neuwwdrug to name just a few.

W atching a golf tournament on televi­ sion can provide up to 20 minutes of fun. Exposure to televised golf for any longer than that w ill lead one into the throws of brain death. At any rate, there is a certain amount of shlocky fun to be had by listening to exchanges such as the following: "Jay, did you see what club Calvin used on that shot?" "Ahh, it looked like a 5-iron, but it might of been a 4." "Thanks Jay, now over to 16."

Adrenalin city.

Auto racing isn't a sport, it's a cry for help.

W ell, I hope that next week, I can col­ lect my thoughts in a more coherent way. Next week will be the third, and final, annual Bleachers Baseball Predic­ tions, guaranteed to offend all Expo, Yankee, Red Sox and Royals fans.

Thanks to Pete Nelson for his research assistance on the lists.

Red men Face W heelchair Challenge

by Rick Shaw

For the past year and a half, dozens of arcade addicts have been clamouring for a knob hockey tournament. Nearly four months ago, the first ever M cGill knobs tournament was announced.

Response was overwhelming, as 45 devotees signed up for the competition.

First round pairings were announced shortly thereafter, and the tourney was off to a rousing start.

W e decided to extend the deadline for the fist round games because just

wheelchair basketball, the rules are almost identical to those of regular hoops, only there is, obviously, no slam-dunking allowed. The game is part of Access M cG ill's Disability W eek pro­ gram that is intended to highlight the special problems of those students who have one form of handicap or another.

The game promises to be an entertain­ ing one, and all proceeds go to a very worthy cause. The early better line has the Redmen favoured by 2 points, but do not underestimate the Wonders.

Gam e time is at 8, and admission is only

W a r is b a d US s t u d y s h o w s WASHINGTON (AP) — A report, commissioned by the U.S. government, has concluded that a nuclear war “ would be, speaking generally, a bad thing.” The three-year $50 million study, undertaken by 400 scientists from around the world determined that “ a lot of people would die, many buildings would be destroyed and our environ­ ment adversely affected” in the event of a major nuclear confrontation between you-know-who.

Panda, on the loose (circled)

hours of this morning as search teams searched feverishly for the missing duo.

Implications for Canada’s relations with the People’s Republic could be catastrophic.

Pandas are rare Chinese animals. “ We expect that the Canadian and Ontario authorities would soon find and take good care of our glorious people’s pandas,” said a terse communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Af­ fairs in Beijing last night.

Although no neighbourhoods have been evacuated, some residents fear a “ Communist contamination of the at­ mosphere” .

Said Jeffery Edgarblatt of the Fascist Party of Canada, “ Letting those com­ mie animals loose on us is just another part of the Bolshevik plot against civilization. They’ve been adding their filthy flourine to our clean water for d ecad es, and m aking us use metric—now this!”

Search authorities have appealed for calm and caution. Pandas don’t bite.

Earlier, an anonymous caller to the Mop and Pail offices had claimed

responsibility for the escape on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front of Canada (Marxist-Leninist).

A second caller retracted the claim a half-hour later once it became known

that the pandas owed their freedom to Mr. Halley’s invention. The caller, who had a foreign accent, sounded red in the face.

by David McFarson-Stewart Mac­ Donald Taking a cue from Senator Jacques Hébert, McGill Principal David Johnston began a hunger strike on Easter Friday to protest the provincial freeze in funding to Quebec universities.

Seated in the Arts foyer in a red leather chair, sipping Perrier water from McGill crested china, the 45 year old principal said he is going to continue his fast until the Quebec government offers “ at least” a 10% increase in funding to McGill University.

Last week, Treasury Board president Paul Gobeil announced that, as a deficit-cutting measure in the upcoming

fiscal year, government funding of universities in Quebec would not be in­ creased to keep up with inflation.

McGill has been severely damaged bv provincial cuts jn the last fifteen years, Mr. Johnston says. In an emotional open letter to Premier Robert Bourassa, Mr. Johnston accused Bourassa and his government of “ abandoning thousands of young people to despair and bit­ terness, snubbed by a government which refuses to recognize the need for superior English education in Quebec.”

Mr. Johnston also expressed “ some concern” to reporters over the announc­ ed $24.3 million provincial cut in stu­ dent loans and bursaries.

Student support on McGill campus for the principal’s hunger strike appears to be minimal. Arts & Science Undergraduate Society President David Gibson called the strike “ gross irrespon­ sibility.” “ If it was Mr. Johnston’s in­ tention to be humourous, he should be careful that the biggest joke around the province doesn’t become its academic leadership,” Mr. Gibson said.

Brendan Weston, a reporter for the campus’ 75 year old Daily newspaper, frowned on the principal’s fast, calling it a “ silly affront to the principles of democracy.”

However, Amy Kaler, one of four student representatives to the Board of Governors at McGill, told reporters she was pleased to see the principal finally taking an active stand in his plea for bet­ ter funding for universities. Smiling mischieviously from behind her brown rimmed glasses, Ms. Kaler expressed hopes that Mr. Johnston would add “ day care, lower tuition, and campus security” to his list of grievances.

James Green, McGill Students’ Socie­ ty’s vocal outgoing president, informed reporters that he was considering laun­ ching a counter-strike to protest Prin­ cipal Johnston’s hunger strike, “ just for kicks” . Although Mr. Green claims to be in “ absolute agreement” with Prin­ cipal Johnston over the desperate state of university funding, he resents the principal’s mode of protest, and feels that students, rather than the govern­ ment, should be bearing the brunt of their education costs.

Mr. Green looks forward to joining Principal Johnston in the Arts foyer, sipping iced water and listening to the music being provided by Radio McGill, “ just as soon as the MCATs are over.”

Principal goes on hungerstrike to protest funding

Marcos to teach at McGill in surprise appointment Special to the Mop and Pail Montreal—Deposed Filipino presi­ dent Ferdinand E. Marcos has been of­ fered a tenure track teaching position at McGill University in Montreal, accor­ ding to a report published in the Frenchlanguage daily le Devoir yesterday.

The report says that the offer was made to Marcos after intensive negotia­ tions conducted at a lavish Easter gala hosted by the former first lady, Imelda Marcos, for several thousand friends and cronies at the former first couple’s temporary hideaway on Gilligans’s Island.

The negotiations were conducted by Marcos intimate General Fabian Ver, McGill’s principal David Johnston and Employment and Immigration minister Flora MacDonald. United States senator Paul Laxalt was also present at the discussions.

Le Devoir reports that Mr. Marcos will be teaching a course in Third World Politics and Autocracy. Mr. Marcos would assume his duties in the second semester of the upcoming year.

Officials at Quebec immigration con­ firmed that an offer of a position at McGill would clear the channels for a Marcos application form political asylum. Raymond Latullippe, a Mon­ treal immigration lawyer representing the Marcos retinue, confirmed that Mr. Marcos, and his cronies, could be Cana­ dians by Christmas.

“ What the fuck. H e’ll be a taxpayer,” said Mr. Latullippe.

However, Mr. David Johnston denied reports that the former president was given a promise that Imelda Marcos would be named the new dean of arts at McGill.

Mr. Michael Maxwell, outgoing dean of arts has voiced support for such a move in the past week. In an interview with the CBC, Mr. Maxwell said, “ It would take a dragon lady to straighten out the economics department here.”

As dean of arts, Mr. Maxwell played a leading role in crushing unrest in

McGill’s economics department last year.

Mr. Johnston also issued a written denial of a CBC report that Mr. Mar­ cos’ son Ferdinand Jr., better known as Bong Bong, would be named McGill’s new athletics director. “ Preposterous,” sputtered the principal.

In a related story, a wealthy Filipino businessman admitted that he was the frontman in a Marcos-owned dummy corporation which has succeeded in pur­ chasing most of the downtown core of the Montreal Urban Communnity, in­ cluding the property upon which McGill University is situated.

Jorge Geronimo Marroanos, a former fraternity brother of Mr. Mar­ cos, told the Aquino government that Mr. Marcos is McGill’s main lanlord. “ They (McGill) were pretty strapped for funds. So they sold the Arts building.

After that we took the McLennan library. It was as easy as stealing candy from.the masses.”

Mr. Johnston expressed shock at the announcement. Professor Samuel J. Noumoff of the political science depart­ ment at McGill has vowed a campaign of civil disobedience against Mr. Mar­ cos. “ We’ll use ‘professor pawer’ against the b astard ,” said Mr. Noumoff.

In a telephone interview from his hideout, the former strongman said, “ I’m so very, very disappointed.”

Since our mission was bound to be dangerous, I reasoned that having a good luck charm in the cockpit with me couldn’t hurt.

How I remember that day! We took off into a clear British sky and headed across the North Sea in perfect forma­ tion until we were in sight of the Dutch coast at which point we pulled the throt­ tles back and climbed to 20,000.

Maybe it was the sudden change in altitude that made McKenzie lose con­ trol of his little bowels, but whatever the case, the cockpit was soon filled with that awful smell that only excited dogs can produce. In my younger days, I was continued on page 11

Rosedale debs welcomed

by Zena Cheesy Friday night marked the 182nd an­ nual dinner of the Saint Swithins Club of Toronto. Before the dinner, former Lieutenant-Governor John Airhead

hosted a cocktail reception at his Rosedale home. On hand for the numerous toasts were ex-Mayor John Sewer and his wife, Conrad Blecch and his wife, John Craig Eatin and the love­ ly Mrs. Eatin. Prima Ballerina Karen Kain attended with her out of work actor-husband Robb Penny, as did Mayor Art Eglinton and his wife.

After the toasts, the guests got into their cars and weaved to the St. Swithins Club located on Ashoakbirch Crescent in Rosedale. Sitting at the head table was a veritable Who’s Who of Rosedale society. Everyone was there! The MacNaughtons, the MacDonalds, the MacKenzies, the MacKintoshes, the MacGuires, the MacGillicudies and the MacDavisses. Dinner consisted of all the Rosedale specialities—Watercress soup, Breast of Turkey and Vanilla Pudding washed down by voluminous quantities of all sorts of alcoholic refreshments. Dancing was to the Sherbourne Street Jazz Ensemble and a good time was had by all.

Saturday saw the betrothal of Jenny Moneypenny to John D. Lawfirm. The service took place at the Rosedale Church of the Divine Merger on White Road. The bride wore a silk dress flown in from Paris. The dress was white and had a 28 foot train that was carried by all of the bride’s female cousins. The

groom wore a robin’s egg blue tuxedo, as did the best man James Montague Eatin.

Miss Moneypenny had been doing “ volunteer work” , while Mr. Lawfirm had been attending Queen’s University in Kingston. The bride’s maids were Miss Sarah Windsor, Miss Jane Tudoe and Miss Penny Essex. After the ceremony, the couple flew to the tiny Carribbean island of Dineros.

The bouquet was caught by Miss Cyn­ thia Susan Eatin, while the garter was caught by Mr. Lawfirm’s college friend Abe Greenglass. Mr. Greenglass was able to escape the ceremony unharmed.

Sunday was the night of the Rosedale Debutante Ball, as dozens of young Rosedale girls “ came out” in the presence of hundreds of eager young men.

While all of the girls were dressed splendidly, kudos must go to Mary Rose Eatin who looked stunning in a Valen­ tino gown flown in especially from Paris for the occasion. Her date for the even­ ing was Donald Jackman Hogarth who, truth be told, seemed to be both under­ dressed and inebriated. No matter, as a great time was had by all.

The highlight of the evening was un­ doubtedly the after-dinner talent show.

Of particular interest was Mary Scott’s im itations of the Royal Family members. Unfortunately the violin recital of Jessica Porter Eatin was disrupted by the aforementioned Mr. Hogarth and a Mr. Andrew Stuart.

While Miss Eatin was performing, these two young men were shouting “ Take your gear o ff ’ at such a volume that the sweet strains of Schubert were com­ pletely drowned out. Fortunately, ordei was restored in time for the closing number which was a rendition of “ We Are The Rich” sung by the debutantes The evening was a big success, as there have already been six engagement: announced as a result of the ball.
