Editorial

SSMU: time to leave the Eighteenth Century behind If Students' Society councillors are g o in g to be leaders in m ore than nam e, they had better be p repared to change their constitution. T h e W a lk Safe N e tw o rk w as denied club status b y the executive com m itte of the Students' Society o n the g ro u n d s that it w as "sexist" a n d "e xclu sio n a ry". T h e M c G ill Association for International Students agreed to change the w o rd in g of their rules to co n fo rm to the Students' Society constitution, and the W o m e n 's U n io n is v o tin g o n the same issue in c o m in g weeks.

T h e constitution of the Students' Society is in d ire need of a change.

A ffirm a tiv e action is w ritte n into the C h a rte r of R ights of C an a d a , in o rd e r to re m e d y systematic d iscrim in a tio n against identifiable grou p s.

T h e in d iv id u a ls w h o drafted the C h a rte r of R ights d id n o t feel that Parts 1 and 2 of Section 15 w e re m u tu a lly exclusive. P art 1 states that " E v e ry in d iv id u a l is equal before the la w and has the rig h t to equal protection and equal benefit u n d e r the la w w ith o u t d isc rim in a tio n ." Part 2 specifies that this a c tivity "does n o t preclude a n y la w , p ro g ra m m e o r a ctivity that has as its object the am elioration of conditions of a d isadvantaged in d iv id u a l o r g ro u p ."

In the fine tradition of eig hteenth-century liberalism , the Student Society P o licy M a n u a l form ulates a ro u g h equiva le n t of P art O n e of the C a n a d ia n C ha rte r: "A c tiv itie s endorsed o r fu n d e d b y the Society, its clubs o r interest g ro u p s ...w ill (n o t) discrim inate against a n y m e m b e r o r g ro u p w ith in the society o n the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, religious belief, d isa b ility, age, financial status, etc."

T h e reason the constitution of the W a lk Safe N e tw o rk w as rejected is that its constitution

says that w o m e n m u st m ake u p a m a jo rity of the executive, thereby v io la tin g the sp irit of the Stud e n t Society co nsitutio n de a m a n d in g that all clubs be open to all m em bers of the Society.

T h e W a lk Safe N e tw o r k is dedicated to the 'am elioration of the co n d itio n s' that disadvantage w o m e n in a w o r ld w h e re one in fo u r w o m e n is a s u rv iv o r of sexual assault.

W a lk -S a fe em erged o u t of a w id e sp re ad sense of outrage a n d helplessness fo llo w in g the rape of a M c G ill student. It is an o rg a n iza tio n dedicated to d o in g so m e th in g about the

helplessness.

M c G ill co u ld have set u p (th o u g h it d id n 't) an escort service to 'protect p o o r, w e ak females' o n their w a y h o m e fro m the lib ra ry.

B u t that w o u ld n o t affect the relations between m e n a n d w o m e n . U n til w o m e n are free of a dépendance o n m e n - for exam ple,to get them ho m e at n ig h t - to speak of e q u a lity betw een the sexes is farcial. W a lk Safe N e tw o rk is try in g to address the la rge r concern as w e ll as to assure that all people are able to get hom e safely.

It m a y be o f interest to all m em bers of the Students' Society to k n o w that their executive has in clu d e d a c o m m itm e n t to raising social awareness in their "m is s io n statem ent" for the year. If their actions in this case d o n 't demonstrate this c o m m itm e n t, then y o u can g o to their office.

It's o n the w a ll, so it m u st be real.

If the Students' Society is not g o in g to lead a figh t at M c G ill for g e n u in e e q u a lity fo r w o m e n in C an a d a , then the least they can d o is to catch u p w ith the C a n a d ia n g o ve rn m e n t.

T h e rhetoric of Q uébec sepa­ ratism is s trik in g ly sim ila r to that of the M o h a w k s . T h e n o ­ tion of the im p orta n ce of "c o l­ lective rig h ts" w h ic h has been the ra llyin g c ry of the in d ep e n d ­ ence m achine can be e q u a lly w e ll applie d to the cause of the M o h a w k s (unless, of course, this colle ctivity is o n ly signifi­ cant if it is the m a jo rity). T h e M o h a w k s concern that their language, cultu re a n d icons are b eingsystem atically destroyed b y a hegem onic force is also fam iliar, I trust, to all of us. T h e M o h a w k desire for their o w n tra d itio n a l in stitu tio n s a n d custom s, and the w illin gn e ss of a sm all g ro u p of them to resort to viole n ce to assert their freeedom shou ld not rin g for­ eign to a n y of o u r ears.

P aragraph tw o stopped m e cold. I c o u ld n 't read further.

W h e re d id the T rib u n e staff learn to w rite? M o re a p p ro p ri­ ately, w h y h a ve n 't they learned to w rite? A n d w h a t does y o u r editorial staff d o about it? H a v e a good laugh?

Forget w h a te ve r M s. C u rtis w as try in g to say. It w a s irrele­ va n t once the w o rd renumeration appeared in the place of the correct w o rd , rem uneration. O r should I say, irrevelant, since people w h o w rite ren u m e ra tion gen e ra lly also say irrevelant, and d e m a n d their back p a y radio-active.

Please tell M s. C u rtis that c o p y rig h t in frin ge m e nt (legal o r o therw ise) w ill persist. Period. B u t it w ill p ro b a b ly ne ve r persist in occurring, as she so re d u n d a n tly w rites.

In a n y case, The McGill Tribune has n o th in g to w o r r y a b ou t.

Sincerely, D o n a ld M ic h e l

In the best of w o rld s , M s. P ro vo st w o u ld not h ave to w o r r y about p ro v in g a n y th in g to M a rc Lepine.

In even a slig h tly better w o rld , the m ere presence of w o m e n in engineering w o u ld not be so rare that she w o u ld feel the need to rejoice in it.

In o u r w o rld , h o w e ve r, the w o u n d s M arc Le p in e exposed still g n a w atrelationships betw een the sexes, to the p o in t of m a k in g m a n y of o u r conversations hesitant, sus­ p icious efforts.

T h e re is a strain in spoken language itself w h ic h goes b e yo n d sim ple incon­ venience: d o w e speak of "g u y s and g irls" o r "g u y s and w o m e n " , h o w best should w e abbreviate s /he to use it m o re than once in a verbal sentence, h o w can w e u p ­ date French so that w e d o n 't need tw o versions of a n y adjective o r noun?

W e have such difficulties co m m u n ica t­ in g across g e n d e r lines that m ost of us h ave taken a d a n ge ro us step a w a y fro m the h u m a n contact needed to stem sexism.

W e h ave tu rn e d to n u m b ers, rather than conversation, fo r assurance that o u r soci­ ety is m o v in g to w a rd s equity.

T h e engin e e rin g profession in p a rticu ­ lar faces a serious g e n d e r crisis because it continues to in v o lv e so few w o m e n . Lik e the rest of us, engineers have used n u m ­ bers to soothe the deep pa in they m u st face. B u t it seems the profession depends as m u c h on the algebra of g e nder justice as it does on calculus.

W e are told that 25 percent of the stu­ dents enrolled this ye a r at the Ecole P o l­ yte chn iqu e are w o m e n , u p fro m 20 per­ cent last year. Th e re is a $50,000 fu n d n o w for w o m e n to s tu d y at the school - $50,000 m o re than there w as available to those students last year.

In Q uebec, 4.3 percent of all licensed en­ gineers counted in M a rc h this ye a r w ere w o m e n , com pared to 3.9 percent last year and 1.25 percent in 1979. T w o w o m e n h ave been p resident of the O r d e r of E n g i­ neers of Q uebec, the latest in 1980, and one of th e O rd e r'scurre n td ire cto rsisa w om an.

B u t a q u a d ru p lin g of female engineers o v e r 10 years to a m ere 4.3 percent is dis­ a p p o in tin g b y a n y standard - "a start," one m ig h t say, b u t o n ly a start.

E v e n that increase becomes v irtu a lly m eaningless w h e n one considers this.

D a y s before the P olyte ch n iqu e massacre, the Association of Professional Engineers of O n ta rio released a re p o rt re ve a lin g that w h ile w o m e n engineers w e re b y and large h a p p y w ith their career choices, m ost said ther lagged b e h in d their m ale colleagues in p a y and p ro m o tio n . " T h a t is n o t n e w ," explained D anielle F ra n k , a spokesperson for the O r d e r of Engineers of Q ue b e c, in an in te rv ie w last week.

"W o m e n are penalized even if th ey like the profession."

In a next breath she a d ded that "w o m e n h ave a lw a y s h ad a strong presence in en­ gineering.... W e d o n 't h ave a specific p o l­ icy co n ce rn in g w o m e n engineers."

E v e n those of us w h o are n o t engineers can recognize the d is p a rity betw een such statements and w h a t o therw ise lo o k like e n co ura g in g num bers.

T h e actual d a n g e r then com es w h e n w e trust n u m b e rs to tell us w h a t w e sho u ld be le a rn in g fro m conversation; w h e n o u r conversation is too han d icap p e d b y anxi­ ety for us to trust it.

Volunteer work not for everyone - recruiting competent workers a self-selecting process

BY LISA HARRISON Th e re is no d o u b t that serv­ ic e -g iv in g o rga n iza tio n s re­ q u ire volunteers. Th e re is also no d o u b t that the delicate na­ ture of these services require special care. H o w d o these g ro u p s, w h o can ill afford to tu rn a w a y a n y w illin g helper, m ake sure that their volunteers are com petent and sensitive en ou gh to fulfill the require­ ments?

Potential volunteers u su a lly m u st go th ro u gh some sort of orientation or in te rv ie w pro c­ ess before they begin.

"Th e re is v e ry little need for some g ro u p s to have potential volunteers go th ro u g h an inter­ v ie w process," said V e rn a B o u n d , the D ire cto r of Social Services at the M ontréal N e u ro ­ logical H o s p ita l ( M N H ) . "W e offer an orientation p ro g ra m that is e n o u gh to w eed out anyone w h o sh o u ld n 't be here."

T h e orientation g iv e n b y the M N H explains a volunteer s d u ties. " T h e process is essentially self-selecting - people k n o w if th ey w o n 't be able to handle the situations w e describe," said Bound.

O th e r g ro u p s m a y h ave a cursory in te rvie w process. "W e

Som e g ro u p s require poten­ tial volunteers to u n d e rg o an intensive in te rv ie w process. "It really depends o n the vu ln e ra ­ b ility of the clientel," B o u n d said.

Fontes also expressed reser­ vations about w o m e n w h o com e in w ith strong personal feelings that m a y need to be resolved before they can v o l­ unteer.

BY LINA SAIGOL In a society w ith an increasin g ly geriatric population, there is an greater d e m a n d for v o lu n ­ teers w h o w ill w o rk w ith the te rm in a lly -ill. N o t all of the people d y in g in chronic care w a rd s o r in their hom es are senior citizens, h o w e ve r, and some of the m ost difficult cases for volunteers m ig h t be those in v o lv in g people seem ingly "struck d o w n in the p rim e of life."

In m a n y cases, victim s of lifethreatening diseases find co m ­ fort in volunteers, w h o m a y

m ake all the difference to a patient's state of m in d in those last weeks of life. Volunteers w h o w o rk w ith the te rm in a lly ill, h o w e ve r, m u st find some w a y to cope w ith the pa in and death they experience m ore often most.

Pam , a volunteer fro m Th e P ilg rim Project, an organization the p rovid es care and sup p ort for those w ith life-threatening diseases and their families, is c u rre n tly w o rk in g w ith an A ID S patient. " I 'm volunteer­ in g because I believe that these patients need m y care," she says, "b u t although I realize that

this m a n 's life is not m y respon­ sibility, beco m ing em otion a lly attached to someone is alm ost im possible to a v o id ."

"W a tc h in g [m y patient] de­ teriorate physically and express his anger d a y after d a y makes m e feel even w orse ," says Pam .

V olunteers w o rk in g w ith ter­ m in a lly ill patients m a y find that themselves in a situation that makes them feel m ore hopelessly inadequate than the patient does.

T h e benefits of this typ e of w o rk are n u m e ro u s - the gratification of 'm a k in g a difference', the expe­ rience of w o rk in g w ith other people, and a heftier resum é.

Itis im p o rta n t to bear in m in d , that volu n te e r w o rk is exactly that - w o rk . T h e re are m a n y or­ ganizations in M on tré a l w h ic h are desperately in need of help.

T h e V o lu n te e r Bureau of M o n ­ tréal advises interested students not to pre-select a certain type of w o rk , b u t to talk w ith a co u n ­ sellor about their skills and and interests. T h e counsellor w ill then recom m end an a p p ro p ri­ ate organization.

to the v ic tim of a fatal illness.

O rg a n iza tio n s that operate hot-lines are also alw ays in need of volunteers. M o st require their volunteers to go th ro u g h an intensive tra in in g course.

M a n y potential volunteers express an interest in w o rk in g w ith children. " T h e p ro b le m w ith these people is that th ey th in k it w ill be a lot of fun.
