Bachelor degree compulsory at the C.G.A. Corporation starting January 1,1988 compulsory to get the CGA designa The Board of the Corporation took a very important decision in requesting a bachelor degree compulsory in order to get the CGA designation. This new requirement will be effective January 1, 1988 for all new students who register to the CGA Education program. Regis tered students with the Corpora tion, before that date, will still be able to complete the CGA Pro gram through certificates or as independent students. In fact, this new regulation means that after January 1, 1988, students will generally complete a bachelor of Commerce. Equiva lent program will also be ac cepted. A degree in another field will be considered, but then, students will have to complete the courses equivalent to the CGA national program as presented in this bro chure. Please note that the degree is

tion but students can write their CGA final examinations as soon as they have completed the correspond ing pre-requisite courses. With the implementation of the new CGA national education pro gram called "Program 90", the uni versity requirements will reach al most 90 credits. Besides, considering the demand of high standards to meet the challenges facing you in the market place and the profile of our actual student membership, comple tion of a degree simply confirms the reality prevailing in the business world. To better equip CGA students and members for today's profes sional environment, and to manage future developments in the business world, with high standards of quality remains the Corporation's main ob jective. Should anyone you know come under this new requirement, it certainly would be appreciated if you could bring the issue to their at tention.

McCord Museum’s “political” actions offend

=THE McGILL TRIBUNE Publisher

To the Directors of the McCord Museum, McGill University, It is utterly b ey o n d our com p reh en sion that the D irectors o f the M cC ord M useum can m ake the preten ce o f standing behind what is patently a fa lse and sp ecio u s form o f argum ent to sup port their d isgracefu l d e c isio n to use N ative artifacts against the stated pu b lic w ish es o f the N a tiv e p eo p le o f Canada - the L u b icon Lake C ree Band. Their d ecisio n to send the artifacts to the G len b ow M useum is an affront to the social ju stice and has don e great harm to the g o o d nam e o f this U n iv er sity w ithin the international c o m m u nity and w ithin the lo d g es o f the N a tiv e p eop les o f N orth A m erica in general, and am ong the N a tiv e p eo p les o f C an ada in particular. T h is w h o le issu e is not ju st a p u blic relations fiasco; it is not m erely about the use o rn o n -u se o f N a tiv e artifacts. It is an issu e about the H um an R igh ts o f Canadian aboriginal p e o p le s and about the sm ug co m p la cen cy o f a m u seu m ’s Board o f D irectors to bandy em p ty rhetoric, sp ecio u s threadbare argu m ents, and fa lse lo g ic based up on ev en m ore falla cio u s and perverse prem ises. Is it that this m iserab le group o f petty and narrow -m inded e co n o m ic opp or tunists h ave a sp ecia l fa cility to put c o n scien ce and hum anity to on e sid e w h en m aking d e c isio n s about artifacts bequeathed to them from past gen era tion s o f N a tiv e p eop les: d o e s the Board seriou sly and h o n estly think for on e m inute that there is any v a lid ity to the argum ent about not w ish in g to m ix culture and p olitics? H o w m any tim es in history has this w eak argum ent b een used by person s not w illin g to b e h eld accountable for their o w n personal

T h is loan is b ein g m ad e w ith in the con tex t o f a h ig h ly p o litical and m oral arena - the fortyse v e n year o ld battle o f the L u b icon traditional lands.

H e c ite s F A E s m ay “create m ore eco n o m ic a l and effic ie n t alterna tiv es to our typ ical ga s e n g in e s...”. It’s a great idea to o ffer a n ew en ergy alter native. H ow ev er, the m ilita ry ’s first con cern is to create a w eap on and cou ld not g iv e a care about the other ben efits that m ay c o m e about it. E n gin eers, scien tists, and c o n cerned c itize n s sh ou ld not be the p aw n s o f the m ilitary. If the p eo p le w ork in g in F A E s are in d eed sin cere that this re search w ill reap b en efits for society , then they sh ould seek research m o n ey elsew h ere and the govern m en t sh ould

ban the m ilitary use as in the b u ild in g o f the nu clear arsenals. R e s p o n s i b le r e s e a r c h e n t a ils p ea cefu l a p p lication s o f d isco v eries. T h e m ilita ry ’s prim ary con cern is to app ly th ese d isc o v e ries to m ore m ili tary esca la tio n . B ea u m ier states that S D I research “c o u ld find u sefu l ap p li cation s in areas su ch as m in e and steel in d u stries.” It w o u ld be m ore e ffic ie n t

if w e allocate the m o n ey to the research and d ev elo p m en t to th ese industries than to g e t it in d irectly from m ilitary research in SD I.

Fo r th e L o v e o f W h a t nly tomorrow knows, for the love of what That w e trade our souls In this land of Oz, for the make believe only because They said our destiny truly stood Within our capacity To rule the world, above and beyond the heights that m ade Our childish fantasies our greatest fate. W e g ave it all, for the love of what To stand mighty above In our own little mind To destroy what was given To create what was not Only, For the love of what.

I com m itted a crime Against myself Against my love Against love itself And now the pang Of realization Is like a hammer Hitting my head What have I done? What have I done?

tellectually qualified. Frum ’s o n ly truly in san e com m en t in her sectio n o n recom m en d ation s is as fo llo w s: “W hat our un iversities n eed is not m o n ey . T h ey m ay ev en n eed le s s , sin c e w e ’re probably operat in g m ore u n iv ersities than w e need." U n iv ersities n eed le s s m o n ey , d o they? F ru m ’s statem ent, particularly in light o f last w e e k ’s A rts F acu lty tea ch -in , is n ot d eserv in g o f an actual resp on se.

T h ese particular p ie c e s o f a d v ice fa ll under the h ead in gs “D ru g s and A lc o h o l,” “S e x and L o v e ” and “ Sp orts.” Perhaps there is so m e p racticality to her a d v ice in th ese s e c tio n s. H o w ev er, under the head in g “If y o u ’re a w om an determ ined to h o ld on to you r in n o ce n c e,” Frum w rites that su ch a w o m a n sh o u ld “b e sure to liv e in an a ll-w o m a n ’s r esid en ce.” B ut w hat is truly a w fu l about F ru m ’s b o o k is her parochial interpre tation o f the u n iv ersities th em selv es. S h e alm o st n ever d isc u sse s the a ca d em ic a sp ects o f u n iv ersities, d w ellin g instead on su ch a sp ects as sc h o o l spirit, ca m p u s p o litica l v ie w s , student parties and u n iv ersity architecture.

Linda Frum’ s Guide to Canadian Universities is an in co m p lete, infantile and in su fficien tly -resea rch ed attem pt at a b o o k . It is a sad reflectio n o n the state o f p u b lish in g that a n y o n e w o u ld co n sid er printing 2 3 6 p a g es o f such tripe.

CHLAMYDIA SYPHILIS

Five of the catchiest words in the English language Now they’re everywhere. Not just the words. The diseases too. But there are three things you can do about these five words. Firstly, you can abstain from sexual activity altogether. However, if you are sexually active, you should know about the second thing; condoms. Condoms are the contracep tive that medical authorities recognize as the most effective way to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. We make condoms. In fact, we’ve helped to make their manufacture the high technology business it is today. Because we believe that sexually active people need protection they can trust. Now they need it more than ever. The third thing can do g yyou c yoursee It. l f . 'Talk to your doctor. Ask at your local clinic. Or go right to the top.

Contact the Canadian Public Health Association at 1335, Carling Avenue, Suite 210, Ottawa, Ontario K1Z 8B8. They’ll tell you that about one million cases of sexually transmitted diseases are diag nosed every year. And they’ll give you the best available advice on how to avoid becoming a statistic. It comes down to three simple things. Abstinence. T h e condom. Education.

Nothing else makes sense.
