Lubicon demo sparks interest in Native affairs by Ian Harrold In the wake of last month’s controversial pass ing of the Olympic Torch through Montreal, sev eral members of the McGill community are trying to raise the profile of Native affairs in a more per manent way. According to some students involved in the December 12th demonstration at a City Hall reception for the Torch, there is a growing move ment for the establishment of a permanent Native Affairs Committee, similar to the existing South Africa Committee, to deal with Native issues over the long term and provide a rallying point forNative people on campus. Last fall, McGill Students’ Society set up an Ad-Hoc Committee on Native Affairs to protest the involvment of McGill’s McCord Museum in the Spirit Sings exhibit. The controversial exibit is part of the Olympic Arts Festival which features both Lubicon Indian artifacts and the financial support of Shell Oil. The oil company is currently conduct ing research and exploration activities on Alberta land claimed by the Lubicon Indian Band. Cana dian Native organizations have called for a boycott
of Spirit Sings until the land claims are settled. Although StudSoc expressed its concern to the McCord Museum about the situation, McCord’s Director General Dr. Marcel Gaya would only respond in a letter to StudSoc that it was “with deep regret that we find ourselves in a difference of opinion with the Native people of this country” and that there should be an appreciation of “the Museum’s difficulties in determining its course of action.” The Museum’s Honorary Curator, Dr. Bruce Trigger, resigned over the affair and took part in the demonstration in support of the Lubicon on December 12th. Johanne Wu, a Clubs’ Representrative to Council, says the Ad-Hoc Committee was a “good idea but we need a lot more,” adding that any new organization should be “more open to Natives”. The present Committee must be composed of two Natives. Committee Chairman Mark Cameron also thinks Natives would be better served by a perma nent committee. He says the Ad-Hoc Committee’s mandate will be reviewed in April and believes the establishment of a permanent Native Affairs
Committee would be a “good development.” When citizens.” Several students expressed concern that asked why existing organisations such as the Mul ticultural Society could not meet the needs of Na they didn’t want to seem “too pushy” in organ tives, Cameron replied that this was the “wrong izing on Native issues. The hope is that the main structure” for the “special [political] problems” interest for Native activities will lie within McGill’s Native student community. Joanne Natives must deal with. The problem of creating an awareness among Wu says, “W e’ll walk the line” when it comes McGill Native students is difficult because there is to speaking for and about the issues. “That’s no available data on them. Jean-Paul Schuller, why I’m not pushing,” explains Mark McGill’s Registrar, says collection of such data is Cameron, “(it’s) not my position” as chairman prohibited by provincial law; federal government of the Ad-Hoc Committee. An upcoming Committee meeting and a subsidies for Natives are handled independent of Native information day will arouse interest and the University. create an awareness of such problems as federal Meanwhile, the Ad-Hoc Committee will try to government cutbacks in Native post-secondary complete a report on the status of Native students, education programs, says Cameron. There certainly seemed to be an awareness and in the process should be able to better determine who and where the Natives are on campus. StudSoc among the thirty-odd, mostly non-Native stu President Daniel Tennenbaum is anxious to see dents who demonstrated last December 12th. some movement, saying it is important for a “stu Many compared Canada’s Native situation to dent body so concerned with social issues” to take that of South African Blacks, and steadfastly a stand. Tennenbaum says the Lubicon affair dem faced Montreal police officers,who were intent onstrates how Natives are “treated as second-class on deterring any public confrontation.
Football Trophies Collecting Dust by C h ris F lan a g an While the legend of McGill’s success in intercollegiate football lives on, the trophies amassed by the 1987 Redmen sit collecting dust in an athletics depart ment storeroom. The Vanier Cup, the Robert L. Stanfield Trophy and the OQIFC trophy simply take up too much space. “The trophies are too big, that’s the problem,” said Earl Zukerman, Sports Information Coordinator. The three showcases in the lobby of the athletics building are not deep enough to accomodate this year’s football hardware, furthermore, they are al ready full to capacity. Although some sports fans have ex pressed concerns that “they might not ever get around to displaying them,” Athletics Facilities Manager A1 Grazys assured the Tribune that a cabinet maker has been contacted to construct a suitable display case. The case will be “a semi-permanent cabinet, attached to the counter immediately in the front of the lobby,” said Grazys, “but we will be able to move it when we get our new
building.” Director of Athletics Robert Dubeau, estimates that the showcase will be ready “in two to three weeks,” and will cost “in the neighbourhood of five to seven hundred dollars.” According to Dubeau, the cost of the new cabinet is the reason for the delay. The Redmen brought the Vanier Cup to McGill on November 21 of last year. “This is an unbudgeted item that we had to find funds for,” explained Dubeau. In fact, the continued success of the McGill Redmen created several budget problems. The first occurred immedi ately after the championship game, when half of the team was bused back to Montreal the same day because the Athletic department could not afford to put them up. The latest financial set back has been the prohibitive costs of the championship rings. The rings carry a pricetag of $400 each, a cost which must be incurred by the players themselves. The athletics department simply does not have the $24,000 needed to buy rings for the entire team.

The problem, according to Stu d en ts’ Society Vice-President External Chris Alexander, is “com pletely unacceptable;” however, ac cording to Katherine Maclean from Student Services, one of the main delays in die process is attributable to the students themselves. If a students applies late or later in the application period, or send in applications with missing or incor rect information, or are involved in situations with special considera tions or extenuating circumstances, then their cheques will be delayed. Although Alexander was “not exactly sure what the problem was,” he noted that the “situation” was causing the suspension of registra tion for many students. He told tbeTribune that he would “maybe phone Ontario later.” H ow ever, according to Maclean, delays and mistakes in the application process are exacerbated by the complex application process unique to Ontario - where most of McGill’s out-of-province students come from. Students eligible for two specific Ontario grants (the Ontario Student Loan Program and/ or the Ontario Grant Program) must reapply each semester to receive the loan or grant and as such money for second semester tuition and ex penses would not be available to students until the first day of classes in January at the earliest - barring any errors or problems in the appli cation process.

News Briefs McLennan Re-a-signed A long overdue signage revision is underway at McLennan Library. “When I got here, there was a whole glut of tacky signs,” said William Curran, Branch Libraries and Public Relations Librarian. “I wanted to redistribute signs, make them more effective, and replace exist ing ones with pictograms.” Changes thus far include: new pedastal style floor plans; universal no-smoking signs and huge general information signs in the lobby. What brave new breakthroughs in modem signage does the library have planned next? “We hope to have a giant questionmark over the reference desk in the near future,” said Curran.
Less for More Gert’s is now serving a special vege tarian pizza once a week, consisting of the same ingredients as regular pizza, with one exception: there’s no meat. It costs 30 cents more per slice.
Boycotting Discrimination Despite low attendance at the last Students’ Council meeting of last semester, Council voted to support the demonstration against PetroCanada’s Olympic Torch Relay, Dec. 12. Council moved to give the Ad Hoc Committee on Native Affairs $80.00 for participation in the demonstration. Council also moved to give the McGill AIDS Task force funds to assist it in its main goals of organizing an AIDS awareness week to be held in February and to formulate and anti-AIDS dis crimination policy for presentation to the University Senate. As lack of quorum for discussion of constitutional amendments prevented a vote on the PGSS motion to secede from the Students’ Society.
Executive Accessibility The Students’ Society executive are trying to increase their visibility by hav ing an open executive lounge from 12 to 2 p.m. Tuesadys and Thursdays. “We are trying to bring down the barrier of the desk,” said Daniel Tenenbaum, Stu dents’ Society President. Tenenbaum hopes to “take advantage of the busy lunch hour.” There will be two student councillors on duty in the lounge during the lunch period and there will also be a part time receptionist. When asked about the cost to StudSoc, Tenenbaum an swered that part-time help was usually hired during the year; the receptionist’s duties would be included in their tasks.

W hat’s it to ya’ ? by Steven Green My mother is a very fashionable lady who also happens to have exquisite taste in interior design. She could take a shack and redecorate it to be fit for the Royal family, but unfortunately she could never survive in the realm of the student apartment. I became aware of this recently while conducting a tour of McGill’s most fashionable apartments to see what’s hot and what’s not in interior design. One style which has been very popular with students for several years now is the open concept. That is to say the apartment which is constructed almost completely out of milk crates. With strategic planning and a good assortment of different coloured crates the results can be aesthetically pleasing and extremely functional. Another popular item this year are government wall hangings. For example, to cover a nasty crack in the plaster above the toilet with a ‘NO DUMPING ’ sign can both enhance the ambiance of the washroom as well as enable the resident to cut down on toilet paper costs. My mother could be an excellent designer if she could only appreciate the obvious as fashionable. For example, items such as dirty dishes littering the ketchen and livingroom, empty beer and wine bottles which never seem to be returned, or a cat litter box which is so over full that it is mistaken for a coffee table. For added convenience apartments are being outfitted with public appli ances such as Gazette boxes, pay phones, mail boxes, stop lights, bums, the original roof to the Big ‘O ’ and other similar items. It was also noted that those apartments which were outfitted with a bar made a point of serving all drings in those ever fashionable Peel Pub glasses. As well all the apartments visited would settle for no less than to serve their gourmet frozen dinners on any other plates than the BMH White Starch collectors edition. It is well known that in the world of interior design the trends are changing at such a rapid pace that this article might have made certain ommissions. Please submit any oversites which you noticed to The McGill Tribune office and they will be incorporated in the second of this four part series.

low, the setting unrealistic, and the soundtrack is likely to give you a migraine. Set in the early 1940’s the film portrays the Japanese invasion of China and the expe riences of Jim, a twelve year old boy who loses his parents during the crisis. Jim is taken prisoner by the Japanese and placed in an internment camp. The story drags on as Jim experiences daily life in the camp. Hollywood has outdone itself this time with a camp in which not one child dies from famine, the children are left to play unguarded, and prisoners seem to have unlimited freedom... it’s one big party. Those who lived through the actual horrors of Japanese camps must feel angered at their glamorous representation in this film. Jim sums it all up when he says to his prisonmate; “What you’ve taught me is that people will do anything for an extra potato.” Don’t waste you money. E m pire o f the Sun will make you cringe. Steven Spielberg had better stick to extra-terrestrials.
While London bums, Sam m y an d R osie g e t ... well, that depends on what province you see it in! British director Steven Frears (M y B e a u tifu l Laundrette) explores the lives, relation ships and politics of a set of London radicals in a manner which is calculated to confuse, enlighten, and send you home with an overpowering image of chaos. It provides no clearcut answers to the questions of class and sexual poli tics, and it is quite probable that this was Frears’ intent. Frears’ technique has been criticized bymanyasoverambitious. By juxtapos ing the themes of passion and commit ment, politics and ideology and, embod ied in the character of Victoria, nonvi olence and love as opposed to violence and injustice, Frears makes statements

He presents a number of oppo site yet strongly held beliefs, and ex plores the interrelationship and conflict between politics and sexuality which, although not new, requires reinterpreta tion in the Twentieth Century. All the radicals are caught up in an ideology, but within each individual human nature struggles against such dogmatism. “I can’t hate him,” apolo gizes Rosie, a supposed believer in pro gressive ideals, referring to her fatherin-law, Raft, whose politics of cruelty in Pakistan she abhores. Yet can the viewer hate Raft, who believes as firmly in his methods of government as the London radicals believe in their ideals? Sam m y

ByJ.N.W. John Hughes returns to the older generation with his new comedy Planes, Trains an d A utom obiles. This movie turns out to be a bright and pleasant departure from his previous ones. The twist comes in the form of three hundred pound Del (John Candy) who continually interferes with Steve Martin’s voyage. John Hughes’ writing is quick paced and extremely entertaining - he brings roaring laughs, high action, sentimentality and a love story all together in a little less than two hours. This movie should be the hit comedy of the season but unfortunately for Hughes, a poor promotional campaign gives PT& A about as much chance of being a boxotr*> hft play r e pick -tf’ stick s vfth otr butt c h e e k s .'

been, it is a disappointment. It largely wastes a huge budget and what was once known as a ‘cast of thousands’ on the making of a mediocre movie about an obscure figure. China in the Twentieth Century has been an eventful, violent, fascinating place. Little of this comes through in this film. Pu Yi, played by John Lone, was the last emperor of China, chosen for that position by the Dowager Empress Tzn Hsui, who had effectively governed China for years. The film follows his assention to the throne at age three in 1908, his life in the forbidden city and then in the foreign-run city of Tientsin. It goes on to show his role as emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in the area of northern China called Manchuria. His imprisonment and ‘re
education’ by the mainland Chinese serves as a framing device, and the movie concludes with a brief portrayal of Pu Yi as an ordinary citizen in Peking during the Cultural Revolution. Pu Yi was not a terrifically impor tant figure; he really only mattered twice. The first time occured when he abdicated - or rather his regents abdicated f o r him - he himself did not find out about it until much later. The second time was when he rather fool ishly accepted the post of Emperor of Manchukuo from the Japanese. Even at these times he led a very sheltered exis tence. As it follows the person of Pu Yi rather closely, the film never really shows the main flow of events in China during this period. Instead of the May 4 demonstrations, or the Sino-Japanese war, we get pretty pictures of court cere monials. This inattention to important events

might be excusable if the individual followed were fascinating. Pu Yi, how ever, was not. The essential aimlessness and emptiness of the character portrayed on the screen is apparently an accurate representation of the real Pu Yi, and hence Lone has done an admirable job. The other actors, and especially Joan Chen, do a good job with the exception of Peter O’Toole who is rather flat as Reginald Johnston, Pu Yi’s Scottish tutor, who was apparently something of a character in real life. Bernardo Ber tolucci, of L ast Tango in P aris, does an adequate directoral job, despite the fact that some of the scenes are amateurishly blocked and that the pacing is somewhat unbalanced. The film is entertaining enough, but it might be a good idea to take an East Asian studies student along to fill in the context.

ie Provokes...
by Chris Flanagan Sam m y an d R osie G e t L aid strives to
ake sweeping political and ideological atements about oppression, racism, ass struggle and human relationships, nfortunately the film achieves little
more than weirdness. The story attempts to follow several characters through their respective internal struggles but unrealistically ties everything together at the end. Granted, the supporting characters face universal dilemmas of paramount importance. Rafi, the escaping Pakistani military leader must come to terms with the immorality of his actions. His ruthless means have always justified the end (to colonialism) in the past, but his experiences in London have caused Rafi to doubt his methods. Pressured by spirits and lesbians, Rafi finally relieves his conscience of this burden in the only way he knows.
The film’s greatest victim, Victoria (played brilliantly by Roland Gift, lead singer of the Fine Young Cannibals) silently questions the status quo response to oppression - violence. Victoria is both innocent and naive, yet he emerges as the only likable individual in the movie. He chooses passive inaction as the only viable response to oppression and seems to confuse Rafi with Gandi as the two become fast friends. Unfortunately, the only realization that the leading characters arrive at is that a relationship without commitment, affection or love cannot work. Both are unforgivably selfish in their own wonderful way and their mutual compassion in the final moments is not particularily enlighting. The lessons learned in this film

William Hurt plays his character Tom Grunick - network news anchor - with appropriate restraint, he’s pleasant, smooth and not too swift. Albert Brooks is fine in his role as ace reporter Aaron Altman. B roadcast N ew s is entertaining and worth tuning in for.
Gary Marshall has a wonderful cast, a cast that includes Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, but O verboard although very entertaining for those of us who would just like to vegitate, falls short in aspiring to be something substantial. O verboard epitomizes that movie genre that is there for it’s sheer entertainment value, reminicent of such TV greats as the L oveboat. The plot is somewhat of a reverse P ygm alion, with Hawn learning how to be ‘country’ and Russell (Dean Profit), the “Prof. Higgins” type character guiding her to a more rudimentary lifestyle, all as a result of her amnesia. As the movie progresses a love bond transpires between the two protagonists which result not from human compassion but gives us a predictable ending, which I from circumstances which leave no loved. I can’t help it, I’m a sap. other option. O verboard may be of an overdone genre The film succeeds neither as a good and also may be one of the weaker films story, nor as a great statement.

Claire on a Dare
by J.N.W. & I.M.H.
Siesta is anything but a sleepy sun-bleached Spanish afternoon. This film darts madly around an ill-contrived plot and weaves in and out of dare-devil Claire’s last days of existence. Visually superb, and with a strong cast of well known stars, this film ought to be a hit with the art-house crowd; however, it sadly misses the mark for the most part. Indeed, this film’s stunning parts greatly outshine their sum. The story of a wild and impulsive ride through Death Valley, California and Madrid as told by Claire (Ellen Barkin) after her own murder bears an uncanny resemblance to another, more classic tale; Billy Wilder’s Sunset B oulevard. Director Mary Lambert takes the same premise but complicates matters by throwing in parallel sub-stories of flashbacks and a world of limbo. It is not clear why anything happens to anybody, when and where until the end when a resolution is thrown in as a cheap device to tie up loose ends. As well, the talents of such players as Jodie Foster, Isabella Rosselini, Martin Sheen, Julian Sands and even Grace Jones are frustratingly underused.

The Peel Sessions: The Fall, The R ed Skins, B illy B ragg by Keith Denny The release of the Peel Sessions on record and cassette is a long overdue contribution to the recent history of the contemporary British music scene, in cluding as it does original recordings by bands such as Joy Division, Stiff Little Fingers and The Wedding Pres ent. John Peel, the grandfather of Punk and an institution in the world of alter native music has been the most innova tive DJ on British radio for two dec ades. Ironically, he broadcasts for BBC Radio One, possibly the blandest sta tion in the known universe whose prat tling morons fill the air waves with Duran Duran, George Michael et al. From the days of “John Peel’s Scented Garden” in 1967, to his present twohour slots three times a week, Peel has given space to exciting and alternative bands, many of which have gone on to greatness, many more to obscurity. In many ways the ultimate accolade for a band eager to maintain its credibility with the trendy young things of the music world, quick to spot a sell out to commercial pressures, is to be invited to rrecord a session of four or five tracks exclusively for the John Peel shows. It is these sessions which are now being made available on Strange Fruit records. Despite appearing for the first time during the height of punk. The Fall have always defied categorisation. Unlike thier fellow Mancunians The Buzzcocks, The Fall were always out siders, even from the punk scene, with
their front person, Mark E. Smith, a determined anti-hero, with his flannel trousers, greasy hair, and fiercely northern attitude, turning his back on London. The Fall are cryptic and often intimidating to listen to but they still have an essential purity that they have not lost in the ten years since their formation. If the punk ethic lives on anywhere then it is within the domain of The Fall. The four tracks recorded for this particular Peel Session in 1978 are typical of the band’s early days filled as they are with chance frag ments, corny jokes and nonsense
phrases, all delivered in Smith’s strange and manic voice emerging from, or merging with the fuzzed monster noise created by the rest of the band. The Fall do not present a political point of view, unlike The Red Skins whose Peel Session from 1982 consists of the tracks U nionize, R eds S trike the B lu es , K ick O ver the Statues and The P easan t Army. The Red Skins repre sent a contradiction claiming to be both socialists and skin heads, as for years the latter have been associated in Brit ain with the neo-fascist movement.
Their commitment to socialism is not in doubt as all three band members are or have been members of the Socialist Workers Party and this is reflected in the lyrical content of their songs. Footstomping R&B mixes here with violent political imagery to create music to overthrow the state to, and we can all dance as we mount the barricades. The most celebrated ‘Lefty’ musi cian in Britain however, is Billy Bragg, who seems to have assumed the mantle of spokesperson for every band who has declared its opposition to the Thatcher government. This often ob-
scures the fact, illustrated perfectly by this Peel Session, that most of his songs are not political and that many are simply old fashioned love songs, deal ing with the tortuous nature of obses sive romances. Bragg sees himself in the tradition of the wandering minstrel, playing the folk music that has always been the music of the oppressed and exploited, and which can sound radical even when not overtly political. Three of the tracks available on Bragg’s Peel Session are not, to the best of my knowledge, available on any other recording.
Vassa Zheleznova A fter Gorky by Jennifer Henderson Centaur Theatre’s production of Maxim Gorky’s play, V assa Z he leznova, opens with a surge of church bells and a solitary candle flickering wildly in front of a shrine of Madonna and Child. These first few moments are promising. Unfortunately, they prove to be the most captivating of the entire performance, which is rather like a D yn asty series set in Czarist Russia, only duller, so that one has to be startled back to attention every now and then by bodies flinging themselves around on stage and shrieking the lines they deem particularly significant. This production is the North American premiere of director Helena Kaut-Howson’s adaptation of Gorky’s second version of the play. The first version written in 1910; the second in
1935 - presumably as a result of either pressures from above to raise the politi cal content of the play or Gorky’s own pragmatism in the face of Stalin ’s intol erance of artists who didn’t concern themselves with the class struggle. But if this production is supposed to be presenting any sort of political message, it only manages to inflict a few of the characters with superficial and totally undeveloped political be liefs. The play is not about “an open confrontation of two opposing ideolo gies, two irréconciliable worlds” as the director says of the 1936 text, because the political content stems entirely from one character who was slapped onto the original version in the 1936 rewriting. Rachel (Louise Marleau) the token socialist-revolutionary and daughter-in-law of Vassa (Sandra
Nicholls), the main character, is as unnecessary to the action as the snip pets of slapstick humour are inappro priate to this play. The political debates between Rachel and Vassa serve only as interludes to the main story, which revolves around the impotence and greed of a wealthy shipping family. The Zheleznova household forms the social milieu of the play. All of the scenes take place in a drawing room furnished with the luxuries that went along with leisure time in this period. There is an abundance of wine and food and music. Vassa is the matriarch, the ruthless manager of the family busi ness and the tyrannical head of the household. She has essentially become a man in order to be taken seriously, and insists on maintaining an iron grip on those around her. What makes her
character intriguing is the vulnerabi ;ity she displays when alone and the tender ness that comes out when she is smoth ered with affection by her youngest son. This is not to say that there is any thing intriguing about the other charac ters. In fact, whenever Vassa leaves the stage the play turns into a ludicrous paper doll party as the characterless characters take turns being stereotypi cal. Vassa’s brother Prokhor (Maurice Podbrey) is entertaining at least, as a Shakespearian buffoon dangling his collection of antique locks from his wrists as he prances around lusting after necks and buttocks and something else to drink. Vassa’s daughter Natalya (Stephanie Morgenstern) is a little girl one minute and a cynical woman the continued p a g e 11

M cGill Salvages Tie Against Quebec Junior AA All-Stars by Dino Smiljic and Dylan “Scoop” Marantz A fiesty All-Star hockey team, fueled by a rowdy gang of supporters and parents that outnumbered the home crowd, played a full sixty minutes of intense hockey to come away with a moral victory in a 4-4 tie against the McGill Redmen last Thursday night. Things seemed to roll the All-Star’s way right from the first period face-off as the Tribe offense squandered a number of good scoring opportunities. The Quebec juniors scored first on the power play, but McGill came back less than a minute later to tie it up on a goal by Mike Wells at 8:56 of the first period. Two penalties left the Red and White shorthanded for much of the latter part of the first period, however the Stars could not capitalize. In the second period, both teams quickened the pace resulting in a flurry of sloppy plays leading to few scoring chances. The All-Stars carried the bulk of the play and McGill’s Goalie Stéphane Fortin had to come up big on a couple of occasions to quell the dominating All-Star offense. The whole Redmen squad seemed to lack enthusiasm through the entire period. With the start of the final period came a trio of goals before the fourth minute of play. McGill started things off when Francois Olivier connected on a nice pass from David Boucher that Olivier wristed in from just outside the crease. All-Star goals only 42 seconds apart made the score 3-2 and when the
CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
Graduate Fellow ships
Stars scored again with less than ten minutes to play, the home team seemed to be demoralized. By this time, Fortin was just barely hanging on in the net; a result of constant pressure applied by the Juniors. The memory of the 15th minute of play in the third period will put a smile on all Redmen fans that witnessed it. Goals by Stéphane Marcoux and Mike Wells at 15:10 and 15:55 respectively tied the game and finally gave the All-Stars a taste of the talent on the Redmen squad. Credit goes to Mike Teolis who made an awesome play to get the puck to Marcoux. A comeback victory was almost a reality when the Redmen
scored a controversial goal with four seconds in regulation time. It was consequently disallowed by the referees. Fine performances by Wells and Teolis earned them second and third star honours but to the people present, the star of the the contest was the entire All-Star team that put 100% effort throughout the game. The Redmen’s next home game is Thursday night at 7:30 pm against the Queens Golden Gails. During the second period intermission of the game there will be a Dash for Cash where a lucky participant will have sixty seconds to pick up up to $100 spread out over the ice.

Martlets Break Nine Year Jinx
by Jamie Alden Wake up Canada, here come the Martlets. The seventh ranked McGill Martlets added yet another trophy to their already overloaded coffers, winning their first ever Martlet Invitational Jan 4-6 with an impressive 58-47 victory over the Bishop’s Gaiters. It’s the first time in the nine year history of the tournament that the
Martlets have taken the Invitational. The three wins also run their season record to 21 wins and 2 losses. First year Head Coach Chris Hunter was ecstatic with the results despite some pre-tournament problems due to the late pullout of the Ottawa Gee-Gees. “I’m happy with what we’ve done on the floor,” said Hunter. “We wanted to get a shot at Lethbridge
to say to people across the country that we’reatoptenteam. Webeatthemand then got by Bishop’s.” The final game between Bishop’s and McGill did not start out on a positive note. Some early abuse of the Bishop’s forwards sent M.V.P. Hélène Cowan to the pines with two fouls. Bishop’s, led by 6 ’ 1" All-Star forward Cynthia Johnston, exploited the Martlets in the paint running up an early 17-9 lead. As in McGill’s semi final matchup against Lethbridge, super-sub Tina Fasone provided the spark the broke the game open. Her intense defensive presence and timely shooting propelled the Martlets on a 25-8 tear and a nine point lead that they would never relinquish. The second half was all McGill as both Leah Hayman and Nat Melillo contributed to the scoring barrage. The victory had an even sweeter taste because of the absence of two key Martlet hoopsters. Starting point guard Shanda Franco(no relation to Ariel) injured an ankle in McGill’s opening game victory over Ryerson. M.J. Jurcic was also absent from the tournament due to commitments with the National handball team. Hunter was particularily pleased by the performance of Mireille Béland. “Mireille played superbly taking up the slack when Shanda went down,” stated Hunter. “The rest of the team also came together. We have so many people who can contribute.” In McGill’s first game of the
tournament, all eleven Martlets found the scoresheet in a 78-58 victory over the Ryerson “Lady Rams”. Ryerson put on an excellent performance despite having only six players including one volleyball player. The “Lady Rams” shot the lights out from the outside and were only 4 points behind McGill before succumbing to fatigue late in the second half. In the Martlet’s second game of the tournament against the 9th ranked Lethbridge Pronghorns of Manitoba it was the Hélène Cowan show in the first half. Cowan played her best game of the tournament scoring 20 points in the first half alone, helping her team build
a 39-29 halftime lead. Lethbridge closed to within 6 points, but McGill held on for a 66-54 victory. On Sunday afternoon the Martlets opened their regular season in Laval against the “Rouge et Or”. Last year the two schools split the four games they played, each winning on their respective home courts. In spite of the impressive pre-season, Coach Hunter is by no means over confident. “Let’s face it,” stated Hunter, “this is the top league in Canada for women’s basketball. We have to be ready to play nine times in a row. If we do that, we have the talent and the ability to go a long way.”

McGill slammed by red hot Bishops
by Steve “Flex” Dexter
t should be no surprise to McGill’s basketball fans that the team their Redmen lost to on Saturday night was wearing purple. After all, the Minnesota Vikings wore it in their surprise vic tory over San Francisco’s Forty Niners and the Vike’s haven’t seen a Super Bowl in ten years. However, McGill fans saw red in their team’s 79-64 loss to Bishop’s, a game dominated by a 6 ’9" purple guy named Van Herk. McGill’s effective run-and-gun fastbreak could not gener ate much offense against a barrage of referee interruptions, as Bishop’s en joyed a free throw bonanza in the first half. Statistically, the Gaiters shot a soso 57% from the line versus McGill’s 50%, but the main difference lies in number of opportunities. While the Redmen were awarded eighteen shots and only connected with nine, Bishop’s saw forty and hit for twentythree. Forty foul shots? Although the QUAA may have in stalled the three referee system to pro duce a better officiated game, Saturday’s whistlemania was more like a walk in San Diego’s bird sanctu ary. However, and there’s always a however, if the Redmen played their style of basketball and played it well, they might have overcome the wrath of the black and white. Although McGill center Jamie Simon’s shot-blocking show, and forward Paul Brousseau s inside scoring ( 12 pts.) produced moments of inspiration for both fans and players alike, Gaiter purple consistently retaliated. Led by one-time semi-pro Nick Van Herk’s game high twenty four points, Bishop’s always found a different way to find their big man in the paint. Redmen guard Dave Steiner, usually a potent offensive force, shot an atypi cal three for ten from the floor, three field goals and one three pointer. Veteran forward Pat Arsenault was five for nine and ended up with eleven points and five rebounds. Trailing for most of the game, McGill seemed unable to inspire a capacity crowd of about three hundred, except for a couple of Mike Soussan-Paul Brousseau connections. Late in the second half, a badly needed offensive rebound by Brousseau, followed by a Soussan steal and another

next - not because she is complex, but because we have no idea how old she is supposed to be. Mathew Mackay is charming as Vassa’s son, Pasha. But because these characters are so flat we are never able to forget that the actors are playing roles and it is impossible to eliminate the distance between the actors and the characters they are playing. Gorky ’s attempt to shift the emphasis of the story from a struggle for inheritance to a class conflict produces an incoherence which is only intensifted by Kaut-Howson’s adaptation. Adding scenes from the original version and incorporating ideas from the Soviet film interpretation of the play, she has created a version "after Gorky rather than b y Gorky”. While KautHowson’s interpretation may have the advantage of hindsight, it is severely handicapped by its attempt to reconcile different versions of the same play, one of which was written to replace the other.
Seventeen was the magic number for Bishop's, as they reached this total in both the offensive and defensive rebounding departments, while M cGill (led by Simon’s six) had only seven offensive and a slightly better nine teen on defense. Another factor in the loss to Bishop’s was not only McGill’s inability to keep the ball, but their diffi culty in holding it. Led by Ariel Franco’s(9pts) 8 turn overs, the Redmen commited a whooping 26 fumbles while Bishop’s lost the ball only thirteen times.
