Refusenik Describes Religious Oppression

by Tanya Van Valkenburg "The third largest Jewish community in the world is dying." As the week of the Vienna Conference On Human Rights drew to a close, M cGill was allowed a brief view, through a discus­ sion headed by Soviet Refusenik Yakov

Gorodetsky, of one of the worst viola­ tions of the 1975 Helsinki accord. A Refusenik, as indicated by the name, is a Soviet citizen — usually a Jew or a Ger­ man, as these are the only nationalities who can claim a homeland outside the Soviet Union — who applies repeatedly

Hunger Strike Ends

by Marc Wills The hunger strike of three Native inmates at the maximum-security Edmon­ ton Institution came to an end last Wednesday as prison officials approved their release into the general prison population.

W illiam Blake, Dennis Okeynan and Wesley Crowe were observing a "spiritual fast" to protest their segregation from the main body of the prison population.

Sepp Tschierschwitz, Warden at the Edmonton Institution, told the Tribune that he had set the date of the inmates' release previous to their hunger strike and they "they would have been released last week anyway," regardless of the strike.

Blake, Okeynan and Crowe were placed in segregation along with six other Native inmates last August 24 after the slaying of inmate Richard Roche in the prison yard. Two inmates Robert Pelletier and Phil Bearshirt were charged with the murder. Their trial date will be set in December.

The concern of Native and prisoners' rights groups across the continent was the continued "administrative dissociation” of Blake, Okeynan and Crowe and others who were not actually charged with the murder. The inmates in­ volved are all members of the Native Brotherhood, an organization of Natives who practice traditional spiritual beliefs within the prison system. It was thought that their segregation was an attempt by prison officials to crush the Native Brotherhood in the Edmonton Institution.

But Warden Tschierschwitz denied this charge and maintained that all tradi­ tional Native inmates had access to their elders and to their pipe ceremonies.

The Tribune was told that Blake, Okeynan and Crowe and others had been placed in segregation after the slaying of Roche for "the good order of the prison."

Blake and Okeynan started their fast on October 22nd. Crowe joined them on October 28th. All three ceased, taking in water a few days after starting their fasts. Reports from Edmonton last week said Okeynan and Blake had lost up to 50 pounds each. But Warden Tschierschwitz stated that Blake had only lost 22 pounds and could not disclose the weight losses of Crowe and Okeynan.

Okeynan was placed in the Institution hospital on October 30th because of "a psychological condition." Tschierschwitz said Okeynan would soon be transferred to a facility in Saskatoon for further examinations.

Support for the inmates in their hunger strike came from Edmonton, Toron­ to, Sudbury and even Kansas City in the form of letters, phone calls, sweatlodge ceremonies and solidarity fasts. In Montreal six individuals fasted for three days to raise public awareness of the inmates' plight.

for an exit visa, and whose application is refused again and again.

Gorodetsky, who first applied for an exit visa in 1980, became a leader of the Soviet Jewish resistance until he was ask­ ed to leave the Soviet Union in February of this year. After settling in Israel with his family, he has spent the last two and a half months touring through North A m erica, trying to make Jewish organizations and people in general more aware of the unique nature of discrimination against Jews in the Soviet Union. Without negating the degree of persecution of other religious groups, Gorodetsky illustrated the shocking ex­ tent to which the government is prepared to go to decrease the influence of religion over the people, an influence which the government feels leads to non-conformity, and is consequently subversive.

Gorodetsky described the situation of the Soviet Jewry in his lecture and in an interview with the Tribune.

According to Gorodetsky there are 1 700 000 Jews in the Soviet Union, 300,000 of whom live in Moscow. In Moscow there is.one synagogue which, naturally, is controlled by the KGB. If a professional or a student tries to attend this place of worship regularly, he will lose his job or status as a student after the second or third visit.

The paradox is that "even if (a Jew) does not want to be Jewish, he cannot get rid of the sign in his passport" which indicates that he is a Jew. Many other examples of Soviet anti­ semitism abound. For instance antisemitic posters and books, spread through schools and the work-place, depict Jews as being worse than Nazis, and declare that "the United States is in­ sp ire d by the W o rld Je w ish C o m m u n ity." These are coupled, however, with a suspicion of religions in general: propaganda equates Rabbis and priests alike with the CIA, espionage and anti-sovietism.

Both Jewish and Christian activists are dealt with very harshly. Activism in this continued on page 3

by Jennifer Mori and Tribune News Staff "It's the best way to be conscious of student opinion," stated Chris Lawson, Daily News Editor, proposing a motion that Council hold regular General Assemblies. Should the motion be ratified by Council tomorrow, M cGill's first General Assembly in almost twenty years w ill be held in three weeks.

The difference between a Students' General Assembly and last Thursday's Open Council meeting is that motions passed at Open Council are not policy motions. The resolutions passed at Open Council will be ratified at tomorrow's regular Council meeting, while motions passed by a General Assembly would be immediately binding.

Lawson also proposed that the agenda be pu b licized w ell in advance.

"Students don't know what is going on," said Mike Cordon. "Council should publicize proposals to be ratified at the General Assembly so students know what is going on."

The General Assembly question arose out of the province-wide controversy over tuition fee increases and loans and bursaries. Both issues were discussed at Open Council.

"The petition opposing tuition fee in­ creases collected 1,592 votes in three days," Gordon commented. "I think that is a very conservative estimate of what people think." He proposed that Studsoc take a position against tuition fee in­ creases to guarantee the accessibility of education.

A member of the Gallery found it "disgraceful and dangerous" that Coun­ cil did not reconsider the petition before presenting the brief to the Parliamentary Commission. Melissa Gopnik, speaking from the floor, stated that Council had in fact "reconsidered it many, many times."

Gordon then moved that further con­ sideration on tuition increases be on the

ballot ip next spring's elections. Both motions passed.

Lawson then proposed that Council accept the twenty-one point Association nationale d'Étudiant-es-s du Québec (ANEQ) loans and bursaries platform as its policy. Luc Joli-Coeur, last year's VP External, added that the proposals, though laudable, "would be difficult to implement." He amended the motion to state that Studsoc consider, not adopt, the ANEQ proposals. "I am against forc­ ing Council to accept the proposals,” said Gopnik. "M any of us have not read or really thought about the proposals.

We should refer the motion to Council and attend the next meeting to see how it is discussed." The amended motion passed 22 to 14.

The prospect of joining ANEQ was discussed. "No one ever explained to students why they should join a federa­ tion," said David Schulze from the Gallery. "If we are going to put the issue to referendum we must make sure there is intelligent debate." Ian Brodie, SSMU VP External, acknowledged everything Schulze said; "I take responsibility that students weren't educated about these issues," in the last referendum which considered joining the other student federation RAEU. Another Gallery member proposed that students re-affirm their position in regard to the athletics complex at the spring referendum. The decision to build the complex was taken by the Board of Governors in 1984 and fees of $15 per student per semester have been col­ lected since 1984. "W e are still paying and we don't have a complex," said the same Gallery member; "W e may have nothing before 1991." Brodie stated that nothing could be done until the results of the municipal election are determin­ ed. At press time, these were still unknown. continued on page 3

No D a ily Hierarchy?

by Michèle Dupuis On Monday November third the M cCill Daily finally filled the recently vacated position of editor-in-chief with former News Editor Joe Heath — or did they?

"I've been elected editor-in-chief but (the Daily) has not gone through the technicalities to change the name," said Heath. Heath was referring to the consensus within the Daily staff to change the title of Editor-In-Chief to Coor­ dinating Editor.

Heath replaces Adam Quastel who resigned from the position in early Oc­ tober for personal reasons.

"The idea (to create the position of coordinating editor) is to get someone to do the work of coordinating the different departments and someone to take responsibility for the overall organization" of the Daily, said Heath.

When told of Heath's election to the position, Daily Publications Society member of the Board of Directors Marc Simmons, stated that it was "good to have an Editor-in-Chief." He felt that having someone hold the position per se was "more logical, more business-like” than operating the paper as a collec­ tive.

Heath cited the "stigma" attached to the title of editor-in-chief and how non-staffers tended to assume that an organizational hierarchy was in place at the D aily "even though there isn't one,” as one of the reasons behind this decision.

Heath told the Tribune that the new post w ill be a purely organizational one without the "father and mother figure" represented by the position. Heath stated that students who in the past would have sought out the editor-in-chief will now be referred to the coordinating editor only if their issue has organiza­ tional implications. In all other cases, people w ill be referred to the editors of specific sections.

Heath noted that the changes necessary to the By-laws of the Daily Publica­ tions Society to accommodate the new position have yet to be ratified by the Board of Directors and the Daily Staff.

Heath will be interim coordinating editor until January, when he expects to be co-coordinating editor with Brendan Weston. Weston was Senior News Editor of the Daily last year but had to forfeit his position on staff this semester as he is not a student. According to Heath, Weston will be a student next semester.

Cheadle On South Africa's Legal Charade

by Cuy Thompson Last Thursday, Halton Cheadle, a South African lawyer, gave a talk at the Centre for Developing Areas Studies (CDAS) on "Trade Unions and Legal Challenges to Police Power in South Africa."

Cheadle is a Johanesburg-based lawyer who has worked for the Congress of South A frica n Trade U nio ns (COSATU) for several years. Although he is now teaching at Yale, he was in South Africa when the current State of Emergency was imposed, and was active for several months in presenting cases to the government. Cheadle gave a general description of conditions under the State of Emergency, and some examples of legal challenges against it made by trade unions.

In his opening remarks, Cheadle stressed that the police violence seen on T.V . is not due to the police "getting out of hand." Rather the statutes governing the State of Emergency allow the police and Security Forces to use violence and intimidation to achieve their aims.

Cheadle saw this as symptomatic of the South African legal system. He stated that the Pretoria government has created a "legal charade to justify the actions that they're undertaking."

On June 14, Cheadle was awoken at six am by a phone call fromthe head­ quarters of the National Union of Mineworkers. The police had surround­ ed the building and were preventing anyone from leaving or entering it. It was only later that day that the State Presi­ dent P.W. Botha proclaimed the State of Emergency (retroactive to midnight) of­ ficially giving the police the powers that they had been using all day.

South African Labour Lawyer Cheadle said that this was a very effec­ tive strategy for the government, as it allowed the police to round up thousands of activists, union leaders and others who had been "law fully opposing the current regime" before anyone knew that a general State of Emergency was in effect.

The State of Emergency legislation grants the police huge powers. Anyone can be detained for 14 days without be­ ing charged and the Minister of Law and Order can extend detention indefinitely.

The definitions of subversive activity are very broad. For instance, it is illegal to "promote any object of any organiza­ tion that has been declared unlawful."

Cheadle pointed out that because the

Photo - David Wright programme of the'banned African Na­ tional Congress (ANC) includes pro­ viding daycare, universal health ser­ vices, free education available to all, and abolishing the nightshift for workers, anyone supporting these objectives or belonging to organizations with these aims, can, and has been arrested. It is also illegal to hold a meeting of any size in most cities.

The emergency measures have been directly applied to black trade unions with great effect, according to Cheadle.

Organization of mass activity is impossi­ ble. Printing pamphlets was illegal until recently. Many important members of the unions have been detained and most of them have not been released.

In South Africa, the courts do not have the right to judge the constitutionality of a law. Cheadle stated that this makes legal challenges to the State of Emergen­ cy and other repressive legislation dif­ ficult. Rather than attacking the right of the government to enact certain legisla­ tion, civil rights lawyers in South Africa have to look for inconsistencies within the laws to have them struck down. This is easier than it sounds, said Cheadle, because "as vicious and dangerous as they (the government) are, they are also very incompetent."

One example that Cheadle gave of this type of legal challenge involves a case that COSATU brought to the Supreme Court of Durban. COSATU challenged whether the State President could simultaneously declare a State of Emergency and issue the regulations for it, as Botha did in June. Cheadle said that the judges nearly supported the COSATU position, but ruled against it primarily because they realised the tremendous ramifications that that decsision could have had — that is, suspen­ ding the State of Emergency and declar­ ing all of the government's actions under it illegal.

Cheadle also described how the trade unions have been challenging the treat­ ment of prisoners. In the Wendy York case, he presented testimony by Wendy York, a medical examiner in a prison, that showed that 780 of 1,600 prisoners admitted to jail during the first week of the State of Emergency had injuries con­ sistent with having been assaulted. He pointed out that even this figlrre is pro­ bably low, as it is possible for a skilled individual to beat a person without leav" ing marks, and many prisoners will deny

their injuries out of fear of retribution.

The result of the case was an injunction ordering police and guards not to assault prisoners. The injunction requires the Minister of Law and Order to take measures to ensure that assaults are prevented. Therefore, when assaults do occur, both the offending officer and the Minister can be charged with contempt of court.

The trade unions also succeeded in getting a court order allowing lawyers free access to their clients. The lawyers can now regularly see prisoners, and observe any injuries that they have suf­ fered.

Council continued from page 1 Housing was another topic of discus­ sion. "The problem with residence lies in the number of years students remain there," explained Grace Ann Baker, SSMU VP University Affairs. "Too many first-year studetns have nowhere to stay."

Lawson commented that of 1,100 students in residence, less than 350 are new students. "M cG ill owns housing in the student ghetto which is being turned into condominiums;" and the focus should be on finding alternative hous­ ing, stated Lawson. "M cG ill could con­ vert the frat houses it owns," suggested Gopnik.

Refusenik continued from page 1 context, pertains to anything from holding small group discussions in private apartments, with the object of encouraging a renewed interest and faith in religious origins, to a simple case of persistenceln applying for an exit visa.

The KGB arrests many of these activists, and if they are without strong Western friends who w ill make a public outcry at their arrest, then they face imprison­ ment, which is often accompanied by torture, mutilation, and sometimes even death.

"Since Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union, the situation has become even worse." Gorbachev, ever image-conscious, faces perpetual ac­ cusations that the Soviet Union is violating the Helsinki accord, which states that "the participating States (of which the Soviet Union is one) will recognize and respect the freedom of the in d iv id u a l to p ro fe ss and practice...religion." Gorodetsky inter­ prets Gorbachev as believing that by reducing the number of Jews applying for exit visas to two or three thousand, he will be showing the West that no one is really interested in religion in the Soviet Union anymore.

A comparison of Soviet Jewish emigra­ tion figures illustrates this policy of "crackdown." A low period of emigra­ tion during the mid-sixties, when ap­ proximately three to four thousand Jews left the Soviet Union, can be compared to 1979, when 59,000 were granted exit visas. So far in 1986, approximately 400 Jews have been allowed to emigrate.

Gorodetsky attributes much of this decrease in emigration to apathy regar­ ding the problem among the public in general, but expecially within the stu­ dent community. With the Tribune, he argued that, "in the seventies, the doors of emigration were mainly opened by the students," who were very effective in raising the issue. Not so in the eighties.

The Soviet Union wants a good public image. Gorodetsky concludes that if the West tells Gorbachev that they see what his regime really is and shows him that they don't like it, then the Soviet Union will see that its violations of human rights are a detriment to good relations.

It might just make a very big difference. page 3

Male Prostitution:

Lucrative and Deadly

W o r t h y M e m o r ia l O r U ii A b b ie H o ffm a n

by Jennifer Henderson A father once phoned author Donald Martin while he was doing a radio show on male prostitution and said: "If I found out my daughter was a prostitute I could probably accept it. But if my son was a prostitute — I'd kill him."

The double standard is not unique to one man. It is what makes an entire society blind; what convinces us that the unknown is also the non-existent. Male prostitution does exist, and One in Four, Donald Martin's first novel, based on the true story of four young male prostitutes in Detroit, is evidence. Last Friday, he was at M cGill to speak about it.

"It's the story of four of my friends, three of whom are now dead...I wrote it to purge a story that had been inside me since the late '70s. I was a supportive yet silent witness just leading my life, but the story didn't leave my mind."

Daniel, the central character of the novel, is the One in Four, the only one still alive. He was a classmate of Martin's at Wayne State University. "H e rented

echelon" circuit is seen by male pro­ stitutes as "the pinnacle of their career."

But because it is exclusive, it is also the most dangerous. Besides this circuit there is the one on the street, where ac­ cording to Martin, the traditional "clichés" from broken homes make a living. For the middle class there are the Yellow Pages, where "Joe businessman or Josephine businesswoman can get whatever they want on a VISA card."

Ninety-five per cent of a male pro­ stitute's customers are male. "M ale pro­ stitution gets people angry because they would like to think it doesn't exist. If a politician is caught with a male pro­ stitute, his career is over. If it is a female prostitute, it's just a big embarrassment.”

Martin's research in Detroit, with police officers and both male and female prostitutes, led him to see certain con­ sistencies in the world of prostitution.

Whereas women tend to become involv­ ed through coercion or outright force, men are attracted to the ideas of "fantasy fulfillment and ego-gratification."

"If I found out my daughter was a prostitute I could probably accept it. But if my son was a prostitute — I'd kill him.'Ft the top floor of my house. He quit school and started transporting drugs across the border. Then one morning at breakfast he told me he was a high class prostitute."

"H e introduced me to people who were frightening, likeable and intriguing — (the other three characters) — one of whom committed suicide, and that's when the fun stopped. The others started looking for ways out."

They were part of the mob-controlled "upper echelon" of male prostitution — a world impossible to walk away from.

The customers in this world are cor­ porate businessmen and politicians, people who pay for discretion. Martin's friends were subject to guns, threats, coercion and physical abuse.

"The circuit is controlled by a number of people who own nightclubs, porno movie houses and gay bookshops. They run an intricate, closeted ring of male prostitution and when one of the boys wants to go away he finds he can't. As long as he works under their umbrella, he's fine."

The central character of One in Four is now a married Montreal lawyer. He was lucky. The other two were killed.

Martin explained how the "upper

"To have someone think they are Adonis for an hour becomes the only way to affirm themselves. The thrill may only last 6 months; when they make a conscious decision to get out, it starts turning around on them.”

The career of a male prostitute ends after the age of 25. Those in the "upper echelon" circuit usually work thereafter in the nightclubs and movie houses under the organizational umbrella. They eventually lose the ability to com­ municate in normal relationships."

This is the saddest thing about prostitu­ tion for Martin. He has helped people get themselves out of the world of pro­ stitution for this reason alone. "When they stay in it too long they start believ­ ing that this is the only way to com­ m unicate...They are made to see themselves as outcasts."

At the same time, Martin advocates the legalization of prostitution. "It at­ tracts negative elements precisely because it is the domain of the illegal," he explained. Legalization, (making it mainstream) would mean "taking social outcasts and finally accepting them. It would just become paying for something you're getting."

by Melanie Clulow Dear AbbieWait till Jesus gets his hands on you you little bastard Anonymous This is Abbie Hoffman's favourite piece of hate mail. A long-time activist and a sixties veteran, Hoffman has always been relentlessly pursued by the monolithic fundamentalist Right. He has been arrested 42 times for assorted 'subversive' activities and the FBI keeps 26,000 pages documenting his radical exploits as the leader of the Youth Inter­ national Party (Yippies). In 1973 Hoff­ man went underground to escape coCaine dealing charges and lived as a fugitive for the next seven years. But Hoffman wasn't ready to hang up the revolution. With a new face and under an assumed name (Barry Freed), Hoff­ man continued his involvement in the e n v iro n m e n ta l and a n ti-n u c le a r movements.

A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Hoffman studies clinical psychology at Brandeis University and witnessed the "birth of the sixties at Berkely". Founder of the 'Yippies' he succeeded in politicizing the hippie phenomenon and mobilizing the collective consciousness of a dissatisfied generatipn.

"The issue that really got the sixties going was apartheid in the USA," said Hoffman in a recent lecture at M cGill.

"Thirteen states had legal racial segrega­ tion."

According to Hoffman, the burgeon­ ing youth movement learned as it went along. Civil disobedience and critical

Active Today or Ra< thought are not taught in the schools.

"The Southern Civil Rights movement was in itself a school," said Hoffman.

"W e learned to question authority.

There was no way we'd accept any more spoon-feeding in education."

After the Civil Rights movement, Hoff­ man continued to question authority and denigrate Americans' "shopping mall m entality." He staged flamboyant events: showering the New York Stock Exchange with one-dollar bills, picking 3000 names at random from the New York City telephone book and sending a carefully rolled joint and a Valentine to each address...

With the advent of the war in Vietnam, the Yippies were provided with a huge scope for protest, organising marches and rallies against US involvement.

Wrote Hoffman in his autobiography, Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture, "In far-off jungles, Doctor Strangelove fan­ tasies concocted by the Pentagon were turned into reality." The Yippie goal was to stop the war by disrupting life on the home front.

"In the first ten years the United States and the CIA used every dirty trick in the book," said Hoffman. "There were political assasination handbooks, but­ tons that said 'Kill A Commie For Christ,' or 'Kill A Gook, Save Democracy'.

"Vietnam was the first war you heard the phrase 'trillions of dollars'. W ill it

take nine trillion dollars to lose Central America?"

Hoffman makes obvious parallels bet­ ween Vietnam and current US policy in

Soldiers On T

by Tamara Myers "And there was either the voluntary nursing service, or farm work, or munitions...but you were all needed. Actually, I really think that was the time when women — all women — began to work, because it became the accepted thing to do." — Adrienne Stone, St. John's Ambulance Worker, WWI

Today we may disagree with the premises on which the two World Wars were fought, but we still take one day each year to remind ourselves of that which should not be repeated. If, on November 11, tribute is to be paid to the soldiers who fought in the two World Wars, time should also be taken to remember the contribution which Canadian women made to the war effort.

On the domestic front, thousands of miles from the actual fighting, war changed the everyday lives of the wives, sisters and daughters of the Canadian soldiers. Millions of women from the Maritimes to British Columbia mobiliz­ ed to do what they could for their country. With little hesitation, women organized volunteer associations and entered jobs that the men had vacated in order to join the Allied Forces.

During both wars, Canada experienced drastic labour shortages caused by the necessity of increased wartime production and the depletion of the male

by Mary Chambers Today, it is not a contentious issue, not a prominent issue and not a minor issue, but more than anything, the Canadian Armed Force is a non-issue. Almost com­ pletely absent from the Canadian media, the army has faded to a memory for all those not in military uniform.

Prior to the 1930s, Canada had an ar­ my composed mostly of those with few options and fewer dollars. That is to say, boys who had no money or social recognition and who, during the Depres­ sion, could get three meals per day just by signing their lives over to the Army.

Today, fifty years later, the Canadian army is much the same, although benefits and standards have both in­ creased over the years.

jActive Tomorrow Having recently spent three years in Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, Hoffman asserts that if the Americans decide to "get rid of the Sandinistas," there w ill be another Vietnam .

However, he is confident that the legacy of resistance to that war w ill re-emerge — "you don't have to fight a war youi don't believe in."

Photo - Ezra Greenberg 'entrai America. "I believe the Spanish rord for Vietnam is El Salvador," he id.

Hoffman has his doubts about the committment of the eighties student to activism and peace. He notes that the vanguard of the resistance today is com­ posed of people of his generation like Gloria Steinem and Helen Caldicott.

Student activism today is an oxymoron, like 'the working press' or 'military in­ telligence" he said. in a sardonic reversal of an old slogan, Hoffman remarked, "I don't trust anyone under thirty."

Hoffman sees the eighties as the era of designer brains, an age in which 'reality' is pronounced 'realty' and universities are merely psychosocial moratoriums that churn out politically neutralised careerists. "That all truth, justice and beauty lies in the centre — I call that the hole in ‘he donut theory," he said.

For Hoffman, the sixties will never be equalled. "W e internalized 'There but 'or the grace of God go I," he said. "It's not a generation or a majority that makes change, it just takes enough people who

actually want it."

Hoffman believes there is a small awakening of activism once again, but 1 comparisons with the sixties are "not possible."

"The sixties w ill never return. The sex w ill never be as free, the music as good, the dope never again so cheap.

Hoffman advises today's youth to focus abstract concepts like racism and segregation in concrete terms so people are forced to face it. "It has to be something obviously e v il," he said.

"You need the obvious evil out there.

Ther are parallels between my feelings toward South Carolina in the sixties and yours to Johannesburg now ." Careful selection of an issue is the key to grass­ roots organisation, Hoffman has learned.

"You've got to define what you want to do. Be utopian visionaries."

Hoffman laments the mistakes made by the sixties activists in seeking the least rather than the most com m on denominators. Divisions of black vs white, gay vs straight, male vs female, etc., were used by the establishment to manipulate and distort the big picture.

He also fears the rollback of the gains made in the sixties and smells the ghost of McCarthy in current censorship and anti-abortion movements.

"W e in the sixties certainly didn't write the final chapter," he said. " 'Once you've won you've won forever' is not true."

There is "some fundamentalist idea that we can build a protective shield (Star Wars) against ICBM's, herpes, and plaque." Hoffman exhorts us to disallow current trends. For him, there are no in­ nocent bystanders.

Millions of Canadian women worked at the local level under the Women's Voluntary Services Centres. These local clubs were in charge of spreading knowledge of "conservation and collections." They encouraged Canadians to restrict the use of many items required in the war. For example, oils and fats were needed for the making of explosives, so an appeal was made to limit the usage of non-necessities such as lipstick. There were drives for the collection of old pots and pans that were needed for scrap metal. As well, these groups of women educated the public in the necessity of "victory" gardens and conser­ vation of food.

Frequently overlooked is the important role women played in keeping Canada running during the war. Women rose to meet the challenge that war posed when it demanded a huge male population overseas. Whether involved directly in the war or at home, women believed they were doing their equal share to defeat the enemy. It is time to recognize the anonymous efforts of the soldiers on the homefront.

visible force has evolved in the past fifty years — the peace movement. It was hardly an issue years ago when war meant less than annihilation. Now, however, for the sake of survival, the peace movement is an important force which cannot be ignored, and it is a glove which seems to fit Canada much more closely than soldiers and fighter planes.

Peace and neutrality is a position which Canada, unlike other countries, has the luxury to maintain. Most Cana­ dians are proud of Canada's reputation as a peace-keeping force instead of a bellicose state. We are peaceful,

Plain Words, Complex Message

by Marc Wills "The state is a monster as soulless as a brontosaurus," South African novelist J.M. Coetzee told a M cGill audience last Monday night. Author of five works of fiction, Coetzee read from his books and discussed his experiences and intentions as a writer.

In introducing his novel The Life and Times o f Michael K., Coetzee com­ mented that "what is wrong with the state is that it refuses to entertain the thought that there is another world out­ side it." Michael K., winner of the 1983 Booker Prize, is the tale of an apparently stupid and inarticulate man's attempt to live simply amidst a destructive social conflict.

historical realism. It was an appraisal that surprised Coetzee. "I knew no more about South Africa in the 1890s than my readers," Coetzee said.

Coetzee's writing style has evolved since his first efforts. Michael K. and Coetzee's most recent work, Foe, are characterized by tight measured prose pruned of all excess. Reflecting on the comparatively wordy Heart o f the Coun­ try, Coetzee remarked "perhaps I've become plainer...but it's nice to know I was once able to write sentences like that." roe, puDiisned just this summer, is a clever re-telling of the Robinson Crusoe story.

once-employed by the city of Cape Town, journeys about the countryside a mystery to the people who meet and try to control him.

In naming his character " K .," Coetzee gently tips his hat to Czech author Franz Kafka.

Clearly, and perhaps inevitably, con­ ditions in Coetzee's native land have in­ fluenced his work. Coetzee explained last week that he wrote his third work of fiction, Waiting for the Barbarians, with the intention of dispelling "the mystique of security for reasons of state invoked to justify repression in my country as in many others."

After completing a doctorate in English at the University of Texas in the mid-sixties, Coetzee assumed his first teaching position at the State University of New York in Buffalo. He credits the beginnings of his writing career to the cold and boredom of the Buffalo winter.

From the outset, Coetzee explained, he believed in "the notion that in fiction you can only write about your own time.” His second novel, In the Heart of the Country, the diary of a white woman living on a South African farm in the 1890s, was praised by the critics for its

however, publicly and by omission only. For small or large we do have an army, as well as complete assurance that our neighbours w ill protect us if we are ever threatened beyond our own capaci­ ty for self-defence.

Canada will probably continue to devote a nominal sum of money to the defence budget, and fifty years from to­ day — if there is not an intervening war her situation will most likely be the same. However, if the current trend toward combatting war rather than preparing for it continues, Canada's low-' key status should be welcomed as ar­ mies for peace replace armies of war.

the story of "the mind and craft of an essentially boring writer named Daniel Foe.” . In London at the turn of the eighteenth century a woman named Susan Barton approaches Foe with the story of a desert island, a shipwrecked Englishman called Crusoe and his mute slave Friday. But this story and this island only faintly resemble the tale with which we are so familiar. The island is as bare as Coetzee's prose, stripped of most of its vegetation. Crusoe is an old man uninterested in keeping a record of his stay or in educating Friday.

Owing much to Pirandello and Beckett, Foe is a delightful discussion on the nature of speech and storytelling.

Coetzee's training as a mathematician is detectable in the precise dialectic of Foe. J.M. Coetzee is once again teaching in Buffalo. His lecture was the fourth of five in the "Literary Imagination" series sponsored by the M cGill Department of English and Consolidated Bathurst. The final lecture of this year's series will be given by the American science fiction writer Samuel Delany on November 24 in Leacock 132 at 6 pm.

Hashisch Blends Murder, Suicide and Comedy

by Barbro Dick "You and I have become murderers" exults Simone in Players' Theatre's most recent production, Hashisch, written by Gordon Armstrong. Directed by Sandra Stephenson, Hashisch details the zany relationship of a young Montreal couple and their morose machinations to "strike it rich."

The stage is uncluttered as the play opens. A cheese cloth-like curtain en­ circles the back of the stage, through which the audience can clearly view characters moving freely. Props are also stationed behind the curtain when not in

abandoned, homeless young women.

Specifically, the couple, through feigned hospitality and samaritanism, befriend these women and coerce them to unknowingly sign an insurance policy of which, naturally Wolfgang and Simone are sole beneficiaries. The unsuspecting women are then murdered, after which time a hefty claim is awarded to the cou­ ple. How these vagrant women would have accumulated estates worth killing for is not specified. An obvious script oversight, this becomes an unfortunate point of confusion for the audience.

The machinations fo Simone and Wolfgang are far from original and can

(Lilia D. Csorgo) kills herself before Simone and Wolfgang have a chance to murder her. Luckily, but morbidly so, this occurs after she has signed the vital insurance documents. Matters are com­ plicated, in this instance, only minimally by the indelible blood stains on the bathroom tub and tiles.

However, when Simone develops a lesbian intimacy with Lucy (Julie . Luoman), victim number 3, the deed becomes unbearable and impossible for her.

The often heavy plot line of murder and suicide is offset by touches of comic relief, timely spaced within the dialogue.

Wolfgang and Simone engage in witty and often delightfully comical rapports with each victim. And Wolfgang's idiosyncratic compulsion for chocolate biscuits, which are stored in Simone's breast pocket, is a further source of humour.

The costuming of Hashisch is simplistic, at times employing the freedom and ease of the body stocking.

A production of definite innovation, the cast of Hashisch successfully enhance a basically traditional theatrical presenta­ tion with dimensions of mime, pan­ tom im e and post-modern dance choreography.

Fresh from successful runs in Van­ couver, Hashisch continues at Players' Theatre, Union 3rd floor, Novemeber 5 15. Tickets are $6.00 for general public and $4.00 for students. Call 392-8989 to

Matters are compHcated by the indelible blood stains on the bathroom tub and tiles.

A pungent incense, vaguely reminis­ cent of the play's title, envelops the theatre as the couple, Wolfgang (Al Polo) and Simone (Nicole Poulin) enter.

One soon learns that the pair are not of the yuppy, two income, K-car variety.

Contrarily, Wolfgang and Simone have rather unorthodox, not to mention, il­ legal notions of bread-winning.

Their scheme, pet-named "the enterprize" by Wolfgang and the main source from which the elements of comedy and suspense are drawn, involves the ex­ ploitation and eventual murder of three

be found to substantiate many a Agatha Christie or Hitchcock masterpiece.

Nevertheless, it is the relationships which develop between murderer(s) and victim and the psychological repercus­ sions each killing perpetrates on the cou­ ple and their own relationship which makes Hashisch unique of itself.

Each time the couple murder, it becomes increasingly difficult and com­ plicated. Lillywhite Lilli (Grazia Carrubba), victim number 1, is drowned without too much regret. An extremely disturbed victim number 2, Gabriela Young Montreal couple from the production, H ashisch.

Redmen Capture QUAA Soccer Championship

by Chris Flanagan The M cGill Redmen are soccer cham­ pions once again after defeating Sher­ brooke 1-0 on Saturday, November 8, to capture the Q UAA championship for the seventh time in eight years. M cGill now

advances to the national finals which will be held in Ontario, November 14 and 16.

The victory topped off a near perfect season for the Redmen who suffered on-

ly one loss in twelve games. The loss was at the hands of Concordia, early in the season, but since then the Stingers have become a team shrouded in con­ troversy. On October 5, Carlos Car­ valho, of the Stingers, was suspended for

one year for signing a pro contract with the LaSalle Cosmos. Concordia was also stripped of 8 points in the standings which moved them back to third place.

"If you sign a pro contract, you're

simply not allowed to play university so cce r,' explained Paul Rousset, M cGill's Sports Information Officer.

The changes in the standings meant that M cGill had to play its arch rival, Concordia, in the first game of the round-robin playoffs. The Redmen won this match 1-0 with a goal by Hugh Quinick.

Sherbrooke went on to surprise everyone by upsetting Concordia 3-1 w+tich meant a tie against M cGill would have advanced them to the nationals.

The Redmen crushed the young Sher­ brooke team's hopes in the final, dominating the game from the first minute to the last. The 1-0 final score is deceptive; M cGill controlled the game completely, allowing no shots on Aldo Braccio and coming extremely close themselves on at least eight occasions.

"They had a good keeper, he kept them in the game today," said Bertrand Coudraye, who scored the game winner for M cGill. The goal came late in the first half; John Hayward was fouled on the Redmen attack, Kevin Taweel crossed the free kick brilliantly and Coudraye jumped high, heading it cleanly into the net.

"The victory comes from the midfield, they played really w e ll," Coudraye ad­ mitted modestly, "the defence played well too." Coudraye credited the spirit of the Sherbrooke team, but acnowledged that "there is no way this team could beat us."

"W e were very nervous at the beginn­ ing and then we cooled down and that's the key," concluded Coudraye.

The entire team played aggressively, relentlessly chasing every loose ball.

Particularily outstanding was Kevin Taweel.

"Kevin played one of his stronger

games," said Redmen Coach Zack Bregansky, "W e were counting on him to play well and he came up big."

The game was action-packed and very exciting for the dozens of fans who brav­ ed the miserable, wet weather. The small size of the crowd was more than compensated by one particular Redmen (fan who was singularly as vocal as any crowd the Alouettes will ever have.

The Redmen now have one week to prepare for the nationals, which will feature one team from Ontario, one from the Atlantic provinces, and the heavily favoured team from the University of British Columbia. Head coach Gordie Gow is not intimidated by the powerful UBC team which has won the national championship the last two years in a row.

"They (UBC) have got to be the favourites but I like that," said Gow, "I'm sure UBC is more worried about us than we are about them." Gow is confi­ dent of this Redmen team who has won the nationals twice in recent years. "I don't care who the opposition is, it will be a tight game, this team is not going to quit." Gow continued, "W e're going there, happy to be there and we're going there to win.

Martlets Reign Supreme in Quebec Soccer

by Marianne Lynch The M cGill Marjlet soccer team finish­ ed the 1986 season in superlative fashion by upsetting Sherbrooke 3-2 on November 1 to capture the QUAA championship. M cGill came back from a 2-0 deficit to score three successive goals in the second half. The first goal came early in the half on a penalty shot

by Sarah Carwright and from then on the Martlets controlled the game. Kathy McGruer scored both the equalizer and the game winner and was also the team's leading scorer during the regular season.

The entire season was as dramatic as

the playoff game with M cGill Coming up big at all the right times. They started the season on a sour note, losing the first two games by 1-0 margins. The Martlets then went on to win four consecutive games, including a 2-1 victory over Sher­ brooke in the last game of fhe regular season. This win was crucial, since Sher­ brooke had been previously undefeated.

In women's soccer an undefeated team automatically wins the championship without the necessity of playoffs.

A great deal of M cGill's success may be attributed to the excellent coaching of Tony lachetta and assistant Luciano Borsoi. Honourable mention also goes

This year's Q UAA win was a first for the M cGill women's soccer team who have worked long and hard to gain recognition as a varsity team. This is on­ ly the second year of the womens' league's existence and the first year that a playoff has been held. M cGill finished third last year, after Sherbrooke and Concordia.
