Deposed President Interrupts Council Meeting b y J e n n ife r H e n d e r s o n

A bout of excitement struck the last Students' Council meeting Tuesday night when an unexpected speech came from the observers' gallery.

John Bosnitch identified himself as an M.A.1 Political Science student at McGill, claiming to be simultaneously President of the University of New Brunswick Student Union.

Last April the Union was locked out of its offices as a result, in part, of its move­ ment to divest from South Africa, Bosnitch told the councillors. The University Administration gave him the option of signing a “ gag pact" stipulating that he not speak about stu­ dent affairs, and "being one course away from graduating, I signed it," he said.

The UNB Administration subsequent­ ly replaced the Student Union with a “ hand-picked" body given the name of Student Governing Council. However, Bosnitch claims that‘"Since May, we've been in court. There are 13 lawsuits presently rolling and our side has spent $10,000 out of pocket."

The UNB case marks the first suspen­ sion of student representatives to either a Board of Governors or a Senate in Canada, Bosnitch said. “ I'm bringing my complaint to you because I'm now a McGill student," Bosnitch told the McGill student coun­ cillors, one of whom replied: "We have elections coming up, you know."

While applications for all internal and external positions of the Students Society are currently being accepted, the pro­ cedures of the Nominating Committee itself were under fire at Tuesday's Coun­ cil meeting. A number of councillors challenged the Committee's criteria for student representatives.

One of the requisite qualities listed by VP (Internal) Lindsay Glassco was the ability to approach an issue "with an open mind...with no political stances before coming to it."

François Longpré, Law rep, question­ ed the validity of 'opinionless' represen­ tatives: "People with strong stands will create a healthy debate. If people aren't

there to bring up all the angles, you come to a middle-of-the-road solution."

There was also considerable debate over whether applicants to Student Society positions should be interviewed, rather than nominated simply on the basis of their applications. However, despite the objections raised to the Nominating Committee's criteria, it was passed by a majority in Council.

President Paul Pickersgill announced that Students Society will be running an election Februrary 13 for a Residence representative on Council. The position has tieen vacant since September, Pickersgill said, the reason being that IRC has not met since early October, their President and Vice President hav­ ing graduated.

The External Affairs report to Council

recommended that McGill cooperate with the new student Coalition for Quality of Eucation, replacing the Coali­ tion of Québec Students which was formed in October to oppose the possibility of tuition fee increases. (Since the Liberal government has extended the tuition freeze until the end of the decade, the Coalition has decided to concentrate on other objectives.)

The Coalition has specific plans for an estates-general of different Québec stu­ dent societies. However, VP (External) Ian Brodie indicated, "They are willing to take their time to develop these policies."

Brodie proposed that Students' Society cooperate with the Coalition, which is scheduled to meet at McGill in February, but not "sign any formal agreement" until a structure for the Coalition is put on paper.

1 "Without a structure (within the stu­ dent movement)...there would be no guarantee our position would be heard," he said.

Francophone student integration and better communications between Coun­ cil, faculties and students were the topics of discussion in an open "brainstorming session" concerning short and long-term objectives for Coun­ cil. "I think we've come to the situation where francophone students can hold any position on Council," Brodie stated, referring to External Affairs as the "ghet­ to" for francophone involvement in the past.

Peter Nixon, Arts rep, criticized the working structure of Council, calling it a "top-down" organisation. He recom­ mended that Council work on broaden­ ing communication with Faculties and the student population in general.

Glassco and Pickersgill: No political leanings?

Constitution Ruled b y J e n n ife r M o r i

Senators erupted in criticism of the Senate Committee on Student Constitu­ tions at last Wednesday's Senate meeting. The issue under debate was a motion to place the McGill Association of Continuing Education Students (MACES) under trusteeship and appoint an advisory group to review MACES' constitution.

MACES was established in 1985 as a student organization for Continuing Education students. A referendum to col­ lect fees of $5.00 per student was held last year and the executive was elected last December.

The Dean of Students, Irwin Gopnik, in presenting the motion, stated that, "MACES constitution doesn't take into account the transitory nature of Continu­ ing Education students," who are often not at McGill long enought to see the dividends of their $5.00 per course.

Thus, the university is now faced with the difficulty of which services to pro­ vide for such a temporary population and how to provide them. "The money from last semester is accumulating and now amounts to almost $150,000," said Gopnik.

Moreover, when the general meeting cum executive election was held, "only seven students attended," reported Gop­ nik. The executives were elected by ac­ clamation and also Cont. Ed. students, they "are no longer students or will no longer be," said Sheila Ettinger, MACES president, in addressing Senate. "We had incredible problems with the referendum and, of course, the election," continued Ettinger. "It (the election) cannot stand, but it had to be run as it was because we couldn't amend the constitution. There wasn't 'enough interest."

> t MACES Put Under Trusteeship adequ In

"Senate and the Board of Governors are to blame for not adequately review­ ing the original constitution," said Lee Iverson, Graduate Senator. "Any money for students must be adequately pro­ tected by the constitution. It's a bad precedent to put an entire organization in trusteeship as the result of an election irregularity."

"I agree completely with Senator Iver­ son," said Gopnik. "It's the fault of Senate for not being careful to scrutinize student constitutions."

Vice Principal Samuel Freedman (Academic) moved that Senate affirm a previous requirement that teaching evaluations be carried out by each department. This motion received

widespread support from all senators.

"The Faculty of Management finds course evaluations quite efficient," said Professor J.A. Duff. "The students look forward to it in a strange kind of way."

"There has been a policy but evalua­ tions are not taking place," commented Grace Ann Baker, Students' Society Vice President (University Affairs). The pro­

blem has been that the implementation and administration of course evaluations has been left to the discretion of in­ dividual professors because of a lack of personnel.

"Course evaluations should not be self-administered," emphatically stated Professor Samuel J. Noumoff in support of the motion. c o n tin u e d o n p a g e 5

Decision A Draw b y L iz P a s t e r n a k

Residence students were at loose ends when Senate's ad hoc Committe vote on whether to restrict the percentage of returning students in residence resulted in a draw. The Committee debated and voted on the policy last Monday before an audience of 20 students.

The policy was devised by a working group within the ad-hoc committee. It stated that the percentage of returning students admitted to residence (currently 36%) will be decreased gradually over the next three years to 20% in 1987-88,

15% in 1988-89, and 10% in 1989-90.

The Director of Residences would per­ mit Douglas Hall returners to be above the quota provided that the overall percentages were observed.

Dean of Students Irwin Gopnik said that the policy was considered "ex­ perimental" and "this 20%, 15%, 10% was not engraved in stone." The policy will be reviewed in a year when other factors w ill. be considered such as students' reactions.

The general criteria for readmission in-

Open Meeting Fails To Fill b y M a r ia m B o u c h o u t r o u c h

"Often it's a contest to see which side of the table fills up faster," President Paul Pickersgill remarked at the beginn­ ing of Students' Society's open meeting last Wednesday.

No more than 20 students attended the meeting, at which a variety of issues were discussed, and the workings of Students' Society explained.

For exam ple, any association recognized by Students' Society must

be part of the Québec students' move­ ment.” Alexander believes that in order to show that this is not so, McGill must join either the new Coalition for Quality of Education or another student federa­ tion.

Don McGerrigle, the new executive director, was introduced to the student body. His duties will include chief staff member of the Students' Society, staff administration, and the day to day management of Students' Society

No more than twenty students attended the meeting follow certain guidelines. It must have an elected leader and returning officer, a fee quorum requirement of 10 per cent of the association's membership and run election and complaint processes. To avoid the possibility of an invalid elec­ tion, the association must also have guidelines for elections.

Another topic of discussion was the Québec students' movement. According to Council Speaker Chris Alexander, there have been "accusations that McGill students don't take themselves to

businesses, beverage operations and Sadie's.

Other subjects brought up at the meeting were the alienation of fran­ cophones at McGill, advertisement for positions in the Senate and Board of Directors, as well as results of the last meeting.

Alexander stated that he believes Students' Society has been reacting to events this year instead of planning a strict series of policies to be followed.

Toward the end of his life, Albert Eins­ our more immediate materialist needs at tein spent an increasing portion of his the expense of our spiritual ones.

For Hatcher, the most poignant time expressing concern for the future of the human race and lamenting the . reminder of the seriousness of this nuclear arms build-up which was breach is the threat of nuclear war. "In already threatening to cut it short. Like four hundred years, the secularization of John Stuart Mill and T.H. Huxley before science has given us the power to him, Einstein was not a religious man in destroy all life on earth, but only the the conventional sense of the word, yet, vaguest speculations about how to stop like them, he was concerned with the this from happening." The only way to spiritual health of humankind, a concern which, since the Renaissance, had become the domain of established religions.

In a lecture entitled M y t h s , m o d e ls tawa was the site of the annual national conference held by the World University a n d m y s t ic is m : Is s c i e n c e o n ly w h a t w e see?, delivered at McGill last week, Pro­ Service of Canada (WUSC). As delegates fessor W.S. Hatcher, a mathematician at from McGill, we approached the con­ Laval University, demonstrated that he, ference expecting to encounter the too, is concerned with "healing the energy and idealism of university students from across Canada. Instead we breach" between science and religion. found ourselves very definitely in the He believes that this breach finds its minority. Despite what initially seemed origins in the scientific revolution of the an establishment 'suit and tie' at­ Renaissance about 500 years ago: a mosphere, however, the energy and revolution which, in his view, was social idealism were present; we left feeling rather than philosophical, and marked 'energized.'

The three days of the conference were the abandonment of our "myth-making" paradigm of the past in favour of what he spent on workshops, discussions and terms "model-building." This revolution presentations pertaining to the varied ac­ seriously threatened the power of the tivities of WUSC. Friday focussed on the church and led to the material/spiritual local committee's level. The student dichotomy we now take -for granted, refugee program was examined and dif­ scientists agreeing to stick to earthly mat­ ficulties were analyzed.

Having just succeeded in our own ters and the church, to problems of the referendum (for a student refugee pro­ spirit.

While the myth-makers were inclined gram here) we were able to contribute to accept "attractive," comforting directly, advising other local committees theories regardless of their truth value or on the procedure.

She addressed the which told us useful things about visible issue of women and development in the and invisible reality (matter vs. invisible Third World, emphasizing the need for forces), and which could be used to appropriate technology. "If its not ap­ predict events. Their attractiveness had prop riate for w om en, its not appropriate," was the motto of her become secondary to their truth.

To achieve this, both sides must com­ promise. The scientific community must divorce itself to some extent from its overly positivist, rationalist approach to explaining reality. Theologians, in turn, must accept that science has something valuable to offer in the search for answers to broader, spiritual problems.

It is interesting to note that this talk was sponsored by the Association for Baha'i Studies as well as McGill Student Pugwash, and that Professor Hatcher himself is of Baha'i faith. And while his continued on page 5

w u sc Relates Women's Conference held in 1986. She noted, "Women are often the ones rais­ ing the money, but seldom play a role in deciding how it is spent." This was taken to heart by WUSC. Results of the elec­ tion to executive positions showed a marked increase in the percentage of women (including the position of vicepresident).

The conference was also addressed by Marcel Masse, the Canadian Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund. A former recipient of a WUSC scholarship to Poland, he stated his belief that solutions to world problems start with economics. However, he also stated that the goal of morality cannot be differentiated from economics; "In the end the two are one," he argued.

He also addressed the role WUSC should play in ameliorating world pro­ blems. Though often overlooked, this would be to focus on educating people of the developed world in development issues. Thus, future governments would be more concerned and willing to become involved with the plight of less fortunate countries.

Learning more about the organization, one realizes it is the variety of ap­ proaches taken toward development that is most impressive. WUSC is not a typical non-governmental organiztion in that its resources are adapted to whatever issue is at hand.

Tickets Slashed! b y T r ib N e w s S t a f f

Through a miraculous feat of perspicacious investigative reporting, the McGill Tribune News Staff has learned that tickets to more Montreal-area concerts w il l b e s o l d through McGill Sadie's outlets at cut-rate prices. News of these imminent bargains comes one week after Sadie's offered tickets to the ''Human League" performance of Tuesday January 20 for $10.50, 46.15285%

off the standard Ticketron price of $19.50.

The discount price was made possible by local promoter Fogel-Sabourin and the staff of Sadie's. Fogel-Sabourin pro­ mises to offer tickets to upcoming concerts at 50-60% off the standard bill, M o r a l o f t h i s s t o r y : When your favorite performer is coming to town, check at Sadies' before shelling out big bucks at the regular ticket outlets.

oratorial style was at times reminiscent of the fire and brimstone preachers of the southern tradition (a booming voice, imposing figure, and occasionally wild gesticulations and table thumping) he did not once make reference to any of the more conventional religious tenets of the Baha'i faith, only its most unconven­ tional.

In the words of Shoghi Effendi, the Baha'i faith "...en jo in s upon its followers the primary duty of an unfet­ tered search after truth...proclaims its essential harmony with science, and recognizes it as the foremost agency for pacification and the orderly progress of human society.”

Senate c o n tin u e d fr o m p a g e 3

"It won t happen again," reassured Dean Salisbury of the Faculty of Arts.

Senate examined the report of the Academic Policy and Planning Commit­ tee which, amongst other things, stipulated that students in the faculties of Arts and Science now have a time limit of eight or six semesters respectively to complete a ninety credit program, sub­ ject to modifications of two or four addi­ tional semesters in extenuating cir­ cumstances such as a change of program or personal crises. The proviso will app­ ly to 120 credit students once they have completed their freshman year.

Student Senators expressed concern over the extenuating circumstances, br­ inging up the possibilities of long

to residence included: contribution to residence and university life; personal considerations; and academic merit.

President of Gardner Hall, Steven Mat­ thews, questioned the necessity of academic merit, because it does not con­ sider the student who needs residence structure. Gopnik replied, "The whole point to have returning stuents is to act as role models...otherwise we could just have a lottery."

Professor Tony Whitehead remarked that the residence atmoshpere must also be considered in an educational light: the mix between older and younger students provides both "emotional and intellecutal development" and "to end up at 10% is like 0."

Whitehead also noted that "Places like U of T with 1-year residences are haying terrible problems."

Vice-Principal SamueJ Freedman pointed out that "the biggëst deterrent to first year students to McGill is because

Professor Hatcher's talk was an ex­ cellent and refreshing example of how we can go about "healing the breach." towns of Lima, Peru, WUSC only pro­ vides the funding; the coordination as well as materials used is Peruvian.

WUSC seminars, another aspect of the organization, provide the opportunity for Canadian students to go to a develop­ ing country and study a development issue of their choice. This approach is much in line with what Marcel Masse recom mended.

The recent cut-backs of funding from Cl DA and the lack of more enthusiastic student support across the country were disappointing. Nevertheless, we left with a strong feeling that this is an organization with much to contribute, absences and major program changes.

"Individual cases can be dealt with by the Faculty Committees on Student Stan­ ding Affairs," said Professor Roger Rigelhof, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science," and the Associate Dean can exercise his own discretion." Other Senate recommendations in the APPC report included the elevation of Jewish Studies from a program to a department, and the return of the Institute of Islamic Studies to the Graduate faculty's fold.

Senate business included approval of the 1987-1988 calendar and Senate re­ affirmation of "the importance of teaching" and the endorsement of a let­ ter to this effect sent by Principal Johnston to the G a z e t t e .

they do not get a place in residence."

Freedman emphasized that this was a particular problem with major scholar­ ship winners. Maria Shin, President of the Douglas Hall Council stated that "it is a clear disservice to students now at­ tending McGill" for they had come under the pretext that they could return to residence. Freedman replied, "There was not promise...but there's no inten­ tion to force anyone out of residence."

Shin commented that this kind of policy is premature if alternate housing has yet to be considered. Gopnik made note that "Everyone I've spoken to would like this idea of alternative hous­ ing...(it's) much better than trying to reduce numbers."

The committee discussed the need to allocate funds to the Budget Planning Group to do a pilot study on alternative housing. Many of the members voiced their approval and urged for its im­ plementation as soon as possible.

Resources, Sam Kingdon said that "pur­ chasing and renovating new buildings...could be done tomorrow if you had "x million dollars." Kingdon pointed out that the university would then have to wait for the present tenants to leave before it could be used by students.

This is ironic in light of the recent issue where students are being evicted from buildings at 1140 Pine Avenue West and 3430 Mctavish which are to be used for administrative and academic purposes.

Gopnik explained that the Housing Services will be improved: "We're ready to hire more people to canvass to find housing." In addition, there will be an organized task force that will help students learn how to live on their own, stressing topics such as organizing budgets and eating nutritionally.

The meeting concluded with a discus­ sion of the 3% increase in residence fees.

NEVER LOOKED BETTER!! page5

Unstacking The Little Boxes Of Life It is unfortunate that our society provides us with an endless supply of stereotyped caricatures arranged in neat little boxes so that any perception or sur­ prise encounter may be conveniently categorized without a moment's thought. I guess this enables the average person to always feel in control, never threatened by something unexpected or simply not understood.

Over my protracted stay at McGill I have, being American, had the unfortunate opportunity to witness this process on a first hand basis. This column is not an at­ tempt to analyse the "Canadian perception of Americans." To do this would equate me with those who have attempted to neatly place me in a 'little box' labled "American." Nor is this an attempt to present the "correct" characterization of Americans. This would in fact contradict the reason that I decided to write this col­ umn.

The problem that arises when anyone is classified or categorized before they are given a chance to express their views is, in the case of American students at a Canadian University, a particularly difficult problem to overcome. What differen­ tiates this problem from the typical stereotype that arises out of social interaction is the omnipresent issue of Canadian sovereignty and the relationship between the two countries in general. If you combine the concern over Canadian sovereignty with the policy priorities of the Reagan Administration for the past six years it is not hard to discern how a negative stereotype of Americans in general can arise.

Canadian sovereignty is admittedly not given a great deal of thought by many

Americans. However, I firmly believe that the Canadian Government has not done enough to expose the American public to the concerns of its northern neighbour.

American students who happen to come to school in Canada should not be im­ mediately attacked about an issue with which they have hardly been confronted.

There is little doubt in my mind that most Americans would understand Canadian concerns about sovereignty if the issue was explained to them, and that most Americans who have spent some time in Canada do in fact understand the issues involved. This, I believe, is the point.

You cannot associate a particular person with any political ideology without giv­ ing them the chance to speak up for themselves. You cannot assume someone could care less about Canadian sovereignty without raising the question and giv­ ing them a chance to respond. To stereotype people according to nationality, religion or the colour of their hair creates animosity which the world already has enough of.

Some point. Huh? A conclusion that is familiar to everyone. Right? Then so­ meone please explain to me why when I tell some people I am American they look at me as if I am Ronald Reagan II and would actually prefer if Canada joined the Union. Or that I am Chuck Norris and Rambo rolled into one, prepared to single handedly overthrow any left wing government upon command. Or better yet, when they verbally accuse me of all of the above before they even know my name.

Unfortunately, the above conclusion has to be repeated over and over again.

Bureaucracy Extends To Time Constraints Should someone be able to place a time constraint on learning? A recent proposal of the Senate Academic Policy and Planning Committee shows them to be of this opinion.

Last week's report formally limits the time that students in the faculties of Arts and Science have to complete their Bachelor's degrees. Science students have six terms to complete their rigorous 90-credit programs with a possibility of four terms of grace to "complete the require­ ment." Arts students initially have a bit longer, with eight semesters, and two semesters with which to correct any errors in judgement, (or study habits). Both time extensions are subject to the approval of the student's department and the Associate Dean, and naturally, come into ef­ fect after the first year of those with 120-credit programs.

Okay, so the documents allow for the possibility of student error or indecision. What, then, is the re a so n for the creation of these requirements which, by the way, were adopted by both faculties in April of 1986? What will be the criteria for deciding the validity of "extenuating circumstances?" Is it just another requirement to read and forget (until you try to graduate), or a conscious attempt to discourage a more leisurely course of study? What, quite frankly, is the point?

Beat the Blues This W eek b y M ary C h am b ers

Y e s, it's that tim e of year again...February...blah. But fear not! The annual McGill Winter Carnival has returned in full force. (Carnival events can be found everywhere — at the rink, in Gert's Pub, in the Ballroom, even in the Union cafeteria!) Under the banner of SNOWBOUND, this year's winter carnival will prove to be an unforget­ table one. Starting yesterday with open­ ing ceremonies in the Alley, and conti­ nuing non-stpp until late Saturday night

in the Ballroom, the campus will see a variety of old and new carnival ac­ tivities.

• For an afternoon of comedy, come to Gert's Pub at noon today. The Fool House Theatre will be performing "improv" on audience requests. Their talent is something that should not be missed.

How many of you, for example, could give a spontaneous impersonation of a beer bottle making machine? Scott Orloff will follow this act with his own comedy show in the Alley at 1 pm. Tues­ day night should be relaxing with a skating party on lower campus and Jazz in the Alley — a satisfying way of saving energy for wild activities later on this week.

Gert's is again the place to be Wednesday at noon. Believe it or not, SNOWBOUND has made room for the unbelievable, unforgettable, incredible DATING GAME!! Six sets will be played, and although trips to the Caribbean or Bahamas are not available, prizes in­ clude dinner for two at renowned Mon­ treal restaurants. For those of you more serious about entertainment, come out to Lower Campus and play Snow Golf.

Any kind of club can be used: bat, broom or paddle, so use your imagina­ tion.

The infamous Mike Mandel is pairing up with the Urban Turbans, a popular Montreal Jazz band, at the Union Ballroom Wednesday night a 8:00 pm.

As usual, Mandel will be asking for volunteers to undergo hypnosis. Anyone willing to take the risk is welcome!

The momentum builds...Thursday begins with a student variety show in

Gert's at noon, during which promising McGill stars will show off their various talents. Prizes wilbbe won for singing, dancing, and whatever else they come up with. Or, if you prefer the outdoors, both Tug-of-War and Snow Golf will be played on Lower Campus. In the even­ ing, SNOWBOUND offers you the op­ tion of a wild and crazy night with sleigh rides and dinner at Double J Ranch (BYOB) or a ski night at St. Sauveur for just $18. Buses leave from the Union at 5:00 and 4:15 respectively. But wait, there's more! Fun can be had for free: a skating exhibition at the rink, and later at Detour (to take place this week in the Balltpom because of its potential magnitude!)

Friday should bring even more ex­ hilaration. There will be a bus leaving at 8:00am for a day of skiing at Jay Peak ($24) and arriving in time for the Suit­ case Party in the Ballroom. What could be more attractive than the possibility of winning a trip to Ottawa, Québec City, Toronto or even Fort Lauderdale for just 3 dollars? Especially with pocket money supplied along with each package.

How will it ali end, this marvelous, mindboggling fun? Not with a whimper but with a bang! The winners of the Star Search Competition, Montreal's favorite funk band, TCHUKON, will be appear­ ing live on Saturday night in the Ballroom. For just $4.00 you can see the band that recently sold out at the Spec­ trum.

The list is not all-inclusive, so keep your eyes open for uncountable SNOW­ BOUND activities. See you there! (For further information, call 392-8926.)

Treat Yourself To Tchukon

by Trib Entertainment Staff The last event of Winter Carnival 1987 should prove to be one of the best even­ ings of live entertainment ever at McGill University. Playing a unique combina­ tion of jazz-fusion and funk, the band Tchukon, who for years has dazzled crowds across Montreal before rising to international fame by winning "Star Search '86" with Ed McMahon, will play in the ballroom at the Student Union Building on Saturday February 7.

Tchukon consists of Kathleen DysonOliver (Guitar/vocals), Eric Roberts (drums), Harold Fisher (bass), Ingrid Stitt (saxophone) and 'Slim ' W illiam s (vocals/keyboards). They last played in Montreal a few weeks ago to a sold out crowd at The Spectrum.

For those who want to dance their little hearts out or just sit back, have a couple of drinks, and listen to some of the best music now being produced anywhere, Tchukon is a band not to miss.

Tickets should go quickly so get yours now at Sadies in The Union or Engineer­ ing buildings. Students $4.00, general public $6.00 Tchukon is brought to you

Some Patience Reveals A Solid Production b y H e a t h e r C la n c y

The most trying aspect of the Savoy Society's current production is its awkward choreography which often leaves cast members too breathless to project the traditionally tongue-twisting lyrics of this Gilbert and Sullivan operet­ ta to the audience. However, patience is rewarded. Closer attention reveals several fine character performances and vocal combinations.

P a t ie n c e or B u n t h o r n e 's B r id e marks the society's 23rd annual production. A caustic satire of the "aesthetic move­ ment" of the late 19th century, the original (and traditional) P a t ie n c e first opened in 1881 and was set in the Castle Bunthorne, a highly romantic setting.

Stage Director Joseph Leila has fiddled with place and time depositing this pro­ duction somewhere in the 1920s on the aesthetic lower campus of McGill.

The commonplace turn of campus events is disrupted when Professor Reginald Bunthorne (Mark Boghen), a poseur of this "aesthetic" time period and a delightful dandy, arrives to teach English and compose "fleshly" poems.

Twenty lovelorn Royal Victoria College maidens succumb to his general in­ fallibility, forswearing their fraternity counterparts, the Gamma Sigs.

Alack and alas, not a single one Of the girls has a hope, for the conceited Bun­ thorne has himself gone gaga over the campus sandwich vendeuse, Patience (Sabina Schirmer). The naive Patience, who has long been in love with her childhood playfellow, and perpetual graduate student, Archibald Grosvenor (Peter Thompson) without even knowing it, learns that love is a selfless emotion.

Thus she denies her feelings, agreeing to marry Professor Bunthorne in order to

Paf/e/ice(Sabrina Schirmer) listens, puzzled, as Grosvenor (Peter Thompson) pledges his love fulfill her "duty." (She really doesn't like him.)

The RVC girls transfer their devotion from the Professor to Grosvenor the All-

Right, who just happens to be another poet in the aesthetic fashion. T h is romantic hero, the maidens declare, is t r u ly infallible. There's more, but you get

the point, so I won't give away the en­ ding.

Stage Director Joseph Leila has cast his lead actors well. This is evidenced by several highly humorous dramatic ex­

changes between Bunthorne and his rival as each tries to out romanticize the other. The intellectual contrast between Bunthorne and the simple Patience is also well defined, making his character appear all the more anachronistic. As the ever-devoted, amorous Jane, Warden of RVC, Clarissa Desjardins puts in a memorable performance. Also worth noting are the large-hearted Angela (Courtney George) and the sensitive Molson (Charles Fowler.)

Music Director Andrew Couse has more than one strong voice with which to work. (And they can all be heard!)

Standout melodies in the musical score include "Long Years Ago, Fourteer Maybe,” sung by Patience and Angela, and "So Go To Him And'Say To Him," performed by Bunthorne and Jane. The Gamma Sigs also join the act with "It's Clear That Medieval Art" in which Molson, Labatt and O'Keefe (Charles Fo w le r, Laurence R yn er, and Christopher Aylward) resign themselves to imitating the two academics in order to enthrall the girls. The cast handles their musical task well with Sabina Shirmer gaining special attention for her solid solos.

These factors, along with the ap­ propriately pastely set by Frank Vona (complete with the lovely statue found on lower campus), combine to make the show the most cohesive production from Savoy in the last several years. Again, there are times when one can see the cast remembering their choreography, but this might be ironed out with a few more nights.

P a t ie n c e o r B u n t h o r n e 's B r id e runs in Moyse Hall, Arts Building, from February 4-7 at 8 pm. For ticket informa­ tion contact 392-8983.

Simard Blurs Dream And Reality At Foufounes b y M e la n ie C lu lo w

A trilogy of films by Montréal film­ maker Alain Simard screened last Sun­ day at Les Foufounes Electriques proved to be a bizarre combination of dreamscapes, and, unexpectedly, hor­ ror. Simard, who wrote, directed, and acted in each of the films is seemingly preoccupied with blurring the line bet­ ween dream and reality. Reminiscent of Polanski's R e p u ls io n , the theme of the all-consuming nightmare is his principal concern. Since pre-screening publicity had been low, the films came as an offthe-wall surprise to the few members of the audience who were not on a first-

The first film of the evening opened opponent's hand with a knife. As he with the quote, "Le fou est un reveur loses control over his own life, he begins eveillé; le reveur est un fou endormi," to patten his actions after Jack which pretty well gave the whole thing Nicholson's character in T h e S h in in g , away. The main character is a young and the final distinction between film man fascinated by the celluloid versions and real life is eradicated.

Throughout most of this film Simard of A C lo c k w o r k O r a n g e (fittingly, Simard bears a striking resemblance to Malcolm exercises remarkable restraint given the MacDowell. Particularly around the gruesome possibilities of his material. eyes), and T h e S h in in g , with a bit of the He resists, for the most part, the urge to employ cheap horror gimmicks and E x o r c is t thrown in.

The heavyvisions himself as the ruthless, trilby- handed finale adds an unnecessary ob­ sporting character from A C lo c k w o r k viousness to an otherwise clever film.

Simard's next film O n in is m e also opened with a telling quote: "Chaque nuit quatre milliards des hommes et des femmes s'embarquent pour le monde éphémère des reves." More of the same.

In this one Simard foregoes plot com­ pletely in favour of grotesque surrealist nightmare imagery, presenting a playground of the macabre. There is no place for restraint in this film and the au­ dience is left to marvel at Simard's un­ canny use of lighting, camera angles, and psychotic music to depict a nightmare to end all nightmares.

sepia-toned imagination of a expert in night terror.

The evening concluded with P a s , an upbeat narrative of the hapless film maker's trip to California, and his thwarted attempts to gain recognition, and even a job, in L.A.'s commercial til mecca. When he fails to impress an im­ portant studio head with his work, Simard brings disaster to Los Angeles in a forgivable piece of vengeful cinematic self-indulgence. Using footage from old catastrophe movies, Simard gives Los Angeles a devastating earthquake that smashes the splashy bill-boards and the slick kitsch into which he wasn't ac cepted. When Simard places his feet in the everlasting cement footprints of Steven Spielberg, one can understand the irony of the talented "have-not."

Simard's films exhibit a sense of humour and an air of confident selfdeprecation that is absent from the ponderous work of many "serious" in­ dependent film-makers. And his technical expertise does not lose impact because of this playfulness. Simard's is a name that should soon become familiar on the alternative film circuit.

An evening of entertainment away from M cG ill being occasionally necessary for the retention of sanity, and an alternative cropping up, I took to my heels on Saturday to avoid the customary propositions of Gert's or the Film Society, and resolutely headed to Les Foufounes Electriques, which Satur­ day night presented a band called The Chesterfield Kings. From upstate New York, the "Chesterfield” is derived from the band's town of origin, ^Manchester, and "Kings" probably has a direct rela­ tion to their arrogant and contemptuous nature, which was manifest throughout the concert. It made for a very entertain­ ing evening!

As far as clubs go, Les Foufounes Elec­ triques is certainly unforgettable. The ex­ terior of many Montreal clubs is often pretentiously unostentatious (The Beat, Business and Garage, for example); however, one cannot help noticing Les Foufounes from a distance: the facade proudly displays witch-like effigies and scary scenes, much to the entertainment or dismay of first-time passers-by.

It could have ed S t o p , and from a forthcoming album, been a Stones concert of the late '60s, a to be released in a few months.

Energy, I believe it is safe to say, was the main redeeming feature of the group.

This is not to say that the crowd did not appreciate them: on the contrary, they were called back for four encores.

However, the songs which inspired vigorous dancing among the audience were not original to the group. Originali­ ty itself was also not characteristic of their own music, each song sounding rather too much like an extension of the last one.

What made the show fun to watch was, again, the high energy of the band.

The loose-lipped lead singer couldn't

help but bring to mind Mick Jagger, in appearance and antics, although in a more violent and destructive way. Will Les Foufounes charge him, I wonder, for damages incurred through his bashing the ceiling, walls and pillars with a metal pole? Like a punching-bag, he repeated­ ly threw himself to the ground, to bounce back immediately into the air.

He and the rest of the group made the crowd seem very sedate, as they moved and shook to the music, becoming more animated only towards the end of the concert.

The strength of The Chesterfield Kings

lay in their familiarity with the audience.

In addition to addressing them often, telling of their appreciation for Montreal and calling for audience participation in chants of "Hey Crawdaddy," the lead singer even went to the extent of throw­ ing himself on the floor among us in a crouch position and remaining there for a time as the band played on.

As bands go, I suppose they could be described as crude (once again using the term loosely). Perhaps I'm sensitive, but burping into the mike has always struck me as crude! Perhaps small town truckdriver-ish would also be a fitting description. This was apparent in many of their songs, which included titles such as, "Can't Make Me" and "I Can't Get Nothin'," and lyrics including, "Oh Baby, I love you, please come back to me."

Women in the audience had much to contend with. The band always address­ ed the "guys," dedicating songs such as, "Bad Woman" and "Selfish Little Girl" to those of them who had to put up with their women. One of the night's more memorable expressions was, "grab your woman like a 6-pack!"

sees the land and people of Canada as a collection of disparate parts that never cohere as a country. Instead, it is the pro­ vince which is the primary political unit that Canadians identify with. This is hardly news to most Canadians, but here Malcolm does a good job unpacking the issues of provincial politics for his novice American audience.

The United States, in contrast, with a much denser population is considered less afflicted by regionalism. There is simply a different flavor to each country: O ne la n d d e m a n d e d its in ­ d e p e n d e n c e fro m a fo r e ig n c o u n ­ try , fo u g h t s e v e n lo n g y e a rs to g e t it, a n d th e n fo r g e d a th r e e h e a d ­ e d p o lit ic a l a p p a ra tu s o f c h e c k s a n d b a la n c e s b a s e d o n d is t r u s t o f a u t h o r it y a n d a n pow er

Malcolm points out that Canadians "do not think in grandiose, ideological

With its unique political history, Canada lends itself especially well to sustain a forum for culture bound in universal ex­ perience rather than in one particular version of cultural history. The United States, however, is a nation that was founded on a very novel constellation of political ideals. "The founding fathers

definitely tried something very new and radical that no one else had tried before when they wrote the constition," says Charles Weed, a Yale University history student.

Canada does not have the literary heroes that England or even those that American 19th century produced. The prolific writers in the United States of the 19th century such as Hawthorne, Whit­ man, Thoreau, Melville, and Twain casts a shadow upon a not so famous Cana­ dian literary past. But the ideal of univer­ sality, that artists in Canada today pur­ sue, is more vital than ever before.

Speaking without the constraints of a na­ tional policy, the Canadian artist is thrust into a role — whether he likes it or not — of a global communicator. Although this idea has been in the air for quite a while, Malcolm insists on pushing this "Cana­ dians to the rescue" scenario on his reader.

How readily the "universal" culture that Malcolm outlines can coexist with the economic realities of Canada's future is unclear. Malcolm has identified some important issues for Canadians to think about. There is a traditional Canada that lacks definition — that speaks to one and all. But there is also a Canada which is now actively pursuing foreign capital for domestic economic development. This new, very young, growth-oriented Canada may ultimately serve to erode the very foundation upon which tradi­ tional Canada was built.

McGILL UNIVERSITY OMBUDSMAN FOR STUDENTS The University has recently agreed to establish the position of Ombusman for Students for an initial trial period of two years.

The mandate of the Ombudsman for Students will be to try to solve problems encountered by students within the Universi­ ty, through informal negotiations.

Candidates for this position should be members of the McGill Faculty who have garnered the acquaintance and respect of both the staff and student body and who are familiar with university policies and procedures. Facility in both English and French is desirable.

Candidates and nominations for the position should be for­ warded to: Dr. S.O. Freedman Vice-Principal (Academic) F. Cyril James Building

Not often can a film that isn't a heady drama neatly tie together such themes as conformity and role-playing, and then leave one contemplating one's own con­ fusion over identity. But M e n does so, in the form of a delightfully enjoyable com­ edy that becomes more and more in­ sightful as the story goes on.

M e n is a German film (subtitled in English) that, centers on an odd love triangle in an equally odd manner, by presenting the relationship between two men who love the same woman.

Julius and Paula Armburst are virtually a walking cliché — he has a good job, a fast car and a secretary on the side; she is his housewife in their nice suburban home — with a hippie lover, Stephan.

The Armbursts even have cute, precocious children and spend their vacations in St. Lucia. When Paula's af­ fair comes out in the open, they lapse in­ to stereotypical behaviour: toying with wedding rings and producing such brilliant lines as "It has nothing to do with you."

At this point, one wonders if the entire

B e e r M

movie will be trite. But when Julius begins to spy on his rival, the whole thrust of the film changes. He offers to be the roommate Stephan is looking for.

Their contrast in character is instantly evident, and Stephan's acceptance marks the beginning of the best part of the movie. Julius plays the thinly disguis­ ed role of "D an iel," a middlemanagement type who has left his wife.

Initially, he is sarcastic, often muttering under his breath while sporting a "divorced look." Stephan is the com­ plete antithesis, the rebellious artist who comments that all wives like "Daniel's" have affairs because their lives are bor­ ing.

Although they exhibit marked dissimilarity, the common ground that exists permits their co-existence. Julius and Stephan discuss society, the system, women and life in general from opposite perspectives and become enlightened with each other's attitudes.

Yet all of this gravity takes place in an amusing atmosphere. Irony is the ruling element of the ensuing humour. Still, there are numerous unforgettably comic scenes and one-liners, none of which

makes a deliberate effort at being funny.

These are well distributed among the film's many insights into men and how they perceive women — "a man is what he does and a woman is what she is."

Meanwhile, we wonder all along what Julius' motive can be. He is obviously playing some game, but the beauty of the story is that his object only becomes apparent near the end. When it does, we realize that people aren't always what they project themselves to be.

M e n contains simple dialogue, which effectively brings out the themes (without hitting one over the the head with them.) The film's camerawork tends to follow the action naturally, rather than abruptly switching back and forth: it makes its point without being osten­ tatious. Except for a hackneyed beginn­ ing and an ending which should have occurred three minutes earlier, it is quite well done and rates a 7 1/2 on this writer's scale. So go see it — maybe you'll learn something about men.

With two games left on the regular season slate the Redmen stand at 13-13-2 overall and 4-10-2 in QUAA play. The QUAA playoffs start February 17 and the Redmen will be facing off against either Ottawa or Trois-Rivières barring a miraculous comeback by fourth place Concordia.

The Redmen are 2-4 since Christmas, but their two wins have come against Concordia all but sealing them up a playoff berth. Things didn't look so bright, however, when McGill dropped their first two outings after the break.

After a 4-1 setback in Rois-Rivières, (Jan. 16) the Redmen dropped a 6-3 decision to Concordia (Jan. 18) on home ice. That loss was the low point of the season as McGill's offence was feeble and didn't look as though it would be able to recover from the loss of both Mario DeBenedictis and Daniel Lamirande, a pair of high scoring forwards. Fortunate­ ly the Redmen bounced back with a 7-3 win at Concordia as players such as Dave Boucher, Marc Lajeunesse, Chris Mandelos, and Taro Kaibara who had seen limited ice time in the first semester began adjusting to their expanded roles.

In that game Boucher netted a pair of goals as did Lajeunesse who scored one of the nicest goals of the season; totally burning a Stinger defenceman whose name we will not mention so as not to embarrass him. Goalie Jamie Reeve was

chosen the game's first star as he turned away 28 of 30 shots.

The following night McGill fans were treated to a great game as the Redmen came back from a two goal deficit late in the game to tie Ottawa 5-5 Gan. 23). Ot­ tawa won the game in overtime on powerplay goal but the Redmen demonstrated that they were more than capable of holding their own against their possible playoff foes. Tim lannone proved that he was fully recovered from his knee problems registering his fourth hat-trick of the year (a McGill record), lannone took control of the game scor­ ing both of the late goals to knot the game, in an effort that earned him first star. The Redmen's next stop was Con­ cordia Gan. 25) for what boiled down to a battle for the post-season slot. The Redmen won a close one 3-2 on goals from Benoit Lafleur, Dave Boucher and Mark Reade, who scored the winner with 1:30 left, breaking in from just in­ side the blueline and tucking it past Stinger goalie on a good solo effort.

McGill then closed out its regular season series with Trois-Rivières with 5-3 Gan. 30) and 6-3 (Feb. 1) losses to the Patriotes. Friday, in Trois-Rivières the Redmen hit 4 goalposts in the third period giving the pumpkins on skates quite a scare. And on Sunday night at McGill, the Patriotes scored a pair of unanswered goals in the third period after The Redmen had pulled within one

He also became the first Red­ man to score 20 goals~br more for four straight seasons, scored his 200th career point (against Ottawa), and moved to within 7 points of breaking Dave Ducharme's all-Time scoring record of 213 points.

SPORTS M artlets Hope To Im prove Upon “ Total D isaster” b y C h r is F l a n a g a n

The word 'rebuilding' takes on new meaning when applied to McGill's women's volleyball team. "We have a very young team," Coach Peter Croft said in a classic understatement, referr­ ing to the squad of eleven rookies and only one returning player. In addition, nine of the twelve players are in their first year of university, making the average age about nineteen.

This season marks the first year that the Martlets have not belonged to an organized league. In previous years,

McGill played in the QUAA but this situation was far from ideal for the tradi­ tionally young team. "Last year was a total disaster." Coach Croft told T h e T r ib u n e . At that time the QUAA con­ sisted of only three' teams, including Laval and Sherbrooke, which are both nationally ranked. Unranked McGill was consistently getting thoroughly thrashed.

"It was very demoralizing for the girls," Croft said "that's why we have a new team, a lot of people got fed up and left."

Without the pressure of the QUAA,

Croft can improve team spirit and begin the necessary rebuilding program. "I'm looking at five years to build a team, to build a contender." Croft stated. Im­ provements should become easier

of our own calibre," said Croft, without the impediments which the QUAA created.» "It's good this year because I can select all the tournaments we go to and we can play against teams

This format appears to be working quite well. The Martlets have played in three tournaments this season, showing steady improvement. The most recent was a round robin at Carleton University where the team narrowly lost to the hosting Ravens in the bronze medal round.

Upcoming contests for the Martlets in­ clude weekly Friday night matches, which begin February 6th against Champlain College. The most important tournament of the year however, will be the inevitable QUAA championships, which take place right here at McGill, February 21.

Croft remains realistic about their chances against two of the best teams in the country: "We don't have a hope of winning," he admitted "but we've got to let people know that we've got a team."

With the belief that miracles are possi­ ble, Croft has been preparing since September for this predictable showdown. "We'll be at the peak of our season," he admitted optimistically. Key players in the impossible dream are veteran and co-captain Geneviève Bich along with hard-hitting Erika Salisch, team captain.

Whatever the outcome, this year's women's volleyball team deserves a great deal of credit. "They are a young team but they work hard," Croft con­ cluded, "they're keen, and I'm really happy with their effort."

They certainly don't have to worry about being shown up by men's team — the Redmen don't have a varsity volleyball team.

buried the two free throws to send the Who says College Sports aren't ex­ game into yet another overtime period.

The teams continued trading baskets citing? On Friday night, a capacity crowd was treated to an action-packed double overtime heartstopper at the Cur­ rie Gym. Crosstown rivals the Concordia Stingers defeated the Redmen BasketbalT team 92-90 with a last second basket after 50 gruelling minutes of QUAA basketball.

There wasn't much to choose from the two teams. They were tied 39-39 at the half, 73-73 at the end of regulation time and 84-84 after the first overtime period but with less than two seconds to go in the second extra frame, Parnell Joseph of Concordia swished an 18-footer snapp­ ing a 90-90 deadlock and giving the Stingers the emotional triumph.

In a game of this calibre, many stars shine, but Craig Norman, the game's high scorer netting 35 points for Concor­ dia, stood above the rest. Four of five times in the second half, McGill threatened to break thegame open by going ahead by 5 or 6 points. Each time, Norman closed the gap almost singlehandedly. A couple of 3-point shots and a 3-point play were among his heroics.

While McGill didn't reveal any big scorers they showed remarkable team coordination. Bernie Rosanelli's 18 points and Willie Hinz's 16, as well as excellent performances by Patrick Arsenault and Jaimie Alden, marked the team effort put forth by the Redmen.

And then there was Sandy Cianci who drew a foul with 11 seconds remaining in the first O.T. stanza with McGill trail­ ing by two points. Cianci showed once again his mettle under pressure as he b y K en M u ss

easy 63-59 victory over the Lady Stingers and in the process bettered their QUAA record to 2-3. Leah Hayman played an

exceptionally agressive game and chip­ ped in 17 points' along the way. Janet Swords controlled the tempo for McGill scoring 16 points. Again, though, Con­ cordia possessed the game's high marker as Carol Assalian had a t r e m e n d o u s night with 24 points. It was very pleasing to see Mireille Béland playing regularly again. Her presence was highly noticeable and she was McGill's high scorer in the first half. She was most p r o ­ bably playing in pain as both her legs were completely wrapped in tape.

The Martlets jumped out to a 13 point half time lead and increased it to 16 ear­ ly in the second and then began to eat the clock and sub in.

So a 1-1 night for both Concordia and McGill fans, but nobody really loses when they are privy to the classic that was witnessed in the men's game Friday night.
