The Arts and Science U nder­ g r a d u a t e S o c ie ty (A S U S ), M cG ill's largest faculty society, will hold a referendum this sem ester which, if passed, would split ASUSinto tw o separate Arts an d S cien ce U n d e rg ra d u a te Societies.

Both the A rts and Science C ouncils have written and rati­ fied new constitutions which enable them to form undergradu­ ate societies. A ccep tance of these constitutions will require the voting su p p ort of a m ajority of both A rts and of Science students d u rin g the referendum period.

Should both these majorities be obtained, the ASUS will cease to exist, and will be replaced by societies representing the tw o different faculties.

Science Council overw h elm ­ ingly supported the procedure, but also felt that the student su p p ort w as crucial.

Arts [council] and passed it unanim ously," explained ASUS VP Science John T h eodoropoulos. "W e thought w e w ould let the students decide [in a referen­ d u m ]."

Support from the A rts council was n ot as solid, although the proced u re w as accepted. Last T uesday, m em bers voted 7-1 in favour of the new constitution, but quorum for the A rts council requires the vote of nine m em ­ bers. A sa resu 11, the A rts council asked ASUS to retroactively ap p rove the new A rts constitu­ tion, pending p roper approval.

The council reconvened on T hursday with nine m em bers present, but the new constitu­ tion passed by a narrow m argin; 3 m em bers voted again st its acceptance and 1 abstained.

ASUS VP A rts E d d ie Look explained w hat he believed to be the source of the opposition.

"W h at [those w ho opposed the split] felt w as that a lot of the events w e w ere doing w ere joint.

If w e w ere doing it on o u r own [in sep arate faculties] it would cost m o re ," he said.

Chantal Thom as, A rts repre­ sentative to Students' Society Council, con cu rred with Look's interpretation. She also noted that ASUS m ay be perceived to provide strength in num bers. "[Those w ho opposed the split] feel that w e should be m aking a statem en t by keeping the [facul­ ties] together.

Theodoropoulos pointed out that som e departm ents, which are represented on both the Arts and Science councils, are con­ cerned about their role in the future should ASUS separate. He noted, how ever, that an y d raw ­ backs caused by the separation w ould be far outw eighed by the ad van tages separation would provide.

"In a [Science U ndergraduate

"I think that [ASUS] should be split just because I can not see w hy there should be councils for two f a c u ltie s . You w ould not join A rts and Engi­ neering," said De­ p artm ent of English P re s id e n t A S U S President Shawn Khan: last of a dying breed?

BY RICH LATOUR S tu d e n ts' S ociety (SSM U ) Council passed a m otion last T hursday urging the McGill A thletics' Board to change the R edm en nam e and logo, which som e students feel insults N a­ tives. Council also requested that a contest be held to choose a new com m on nam e and logo for both the m en 's and w om en 's intercol­ legiate sports team s.

Senate and Board R epresenta­ tive A lexan d ra Clark supported the m otion tochange the Redmen nam e and logo. She also intro­ duced the am endm ent to give both m en 's and w om en 's team s one nam e.

"T h ere is no reason to offend one person on this cam pus, and w e should call [sports team s] som ething not insulting to the [N ative] tradition," Clark told Council.

C lark had further com m ent concerning the gender division of team nam es. "T w o nam es m ean that there is an implicit h ierarch y betw een m en 's and w om en's teams. W e should com e together und er a new and better n am e."

Athletics Representative Jam es Stew art w as upset that Council included the recom m endation to

change both m en's and w om en's team s at this time.

"I w anted to separate the is­ su es," said Stew art. "Instead, C ouncillors w ent w ay o ver­ board. The main issues are the nam e and the logo. SSMU has no p ow er on the A thletics' B oard ."

N ative A w areness Coalition (N A C ) m em ber N ed Blackhaw k w as at the m eeting to ad d ress the C ouncillors on the im por­ tance of changing the Redm en team nam e and logo.

"The McGill R edm en nam e and logo clearly m isrepresents N ativePeoples," Blackhawk told Council. "I'm hoping SSMU will put its w eight behind this issue.

[The Redm en logo] is a d etri­ m en t to M cG ill's su p p osed com m itm ent to ethnic diversity and m ulticulturalism ."

Blackhawk noted that the Arts an d S cien ce U n d e rg ra d u a te Society's supported the N A C in its fight to change the nam e and logo. H e added that a petition had been forw arded to the A th­ letics' Board to encourage a change.

The Board decided last m onth to introduce a motion to change only the logo of the team , which will be brought forth in M arch.

Blackhaw k said the m ove to

change the logo w as a "very enviable step ," b ut that it did not g o far enough.

Stew art w as against the rec­ om m endation to change the R edm en team nam e.

"T h e A thletics' Board has taken the initiative to separate the issues," said Stew art. "There is a historical con text. 'Redm en' cam e from the colou r of [the athletes'] uniform s."

But V P Internal Alex Johnston argued for changing both the nam e and logo.

"W e are talking of the current connotation of the nam e. If we base too m uch on tradition, then we could m ake the argum ent that w om en shouldn't be at McGill because they w ere n ot allowed at first."

"W e should change the name and the log o," agreed A rts Rep­ resen tativ e C hantal Thom as.

"T he least w e ow e the N ative People is respect. By h om oge­ nizing them under this nam e is in no w ay doing that."

Blackhaw k w as pleased that SSMU passed the recom m en d a­ tion.

"H opefully w e can put this all behind us and concentrate on m ore im portant N ative issues on ca m p u s," he said. y

N e w SSM U G e n e ra l M a n a g e r h ire d After six m onths of searching for the "p erfect" candidate, Students' Society (SSM U) President Scott Mitic happily an ­ nounced that G uy Brisebois had been selected as the new Students' Society General M anager at last T h u rsd ay's C ou n ­ cil m eeting.

"W e are especially excited to have another m em b er of our staff with strong credentials and exp ertise," said Mitic. H e has a m atu re, calm and patient ch aracter which will add d e ­ pendability and stability to Students' Society."

The new General M anager replaces Don M cG errigle, w ho w as fired as SSMU Executive D irector over 14 m onths ago.

Brisebois will be in charge of m anaging the SSMU office, as well as being a chief ad visor to the SSMU Council. Brisebois will also have increased responsibilities in supervising the U niversity C entre, and, unlike the now -abolished Executive D irector position, will no longer be the official link betw een the University and SSMU.

BY PATRICK GLADNEY A call for increased aw areness from A ccess McGill will be m ade on February 17th in the Union building. The d ay is being o r­ ganized to gain support for the up com in g student referendum w hich asks students to continue p aying tw o dollars per sem ester tow ard s Access McGill. Students have overw helm ingly supported the referendum question twice before, in 1988 and 1990.

A ccess McGill is a Students' Society of McGill University (SSM U ) stan d in g co m m ittee w hich p rovides support to dis­ abled students. The com m ittee inform s the students, faculty and staff of the university of the need for su p p ort services, and raises aw aren ess of disabled issues.

C hrissy Echols, the ch airp er­ son for A ccess McGill, w anted to ensure w ide recognition of A c­ cess A w aren ess Day. "[T h e event is] open to the

public, not just the students of M cGill," she said.

The m oney collected by A c­ cess McGill will continue to purchase equipm ent and serv­ ices for both tem porarily and perm anently disabled students.

A m ong other things, the m oney has been used to purchase the red bus w hich serves to trans­ port disabled students around cam pus.

The m oney does not go to­ w ard s physical developm ent projects such as ram ps, which are the responsibility of the Physical Plant.

"W e d o w hatever has to be d on e," said Meribah Aikens, coordinator for Disabled Student Services. "If a student isaccepted to McGill, w e m ust m ake the n e c e s s a ry a c c o m m o d a tio n s , which include class accessibil­ ity, com puters, note-takers and exten siv e read in g serv ices."

Often, special exam arran ge­ m ents m ust be m ade, like find­ ing scribes for those w ho are

unable to w rite exam s for them ­ selves.

A m on g the activities and dis­ plays during A w areness Day are w heelchair basketball gam es in the U n ion b allro om , which E chols hopes will be the main d raw . Participation is not lim ­ ited to disabled persons.

SSMU VP U niversity Affairs, Rosalind W ard-Sm ith lauded A ccess A w aren ess Day. "[It is] a w ay of bringing atten­ tion to the w hole issue of in­ creasing access for disabled stu­ dents at M cG ill," said W ardSmith.

A ccord in g to her, students can attem p t to p ut them selves m en­ tally and physically into the position of som eone with a dis­ ability in ord er to see the diffi­ culties that they face everyday. "[A ccess A w aren ess Day] will m ake people take note of areas w here w e can im p rove at McGill to m ake p eop le's lives easier," she said.

V

The second question, which asked if students supported the changing of 'Bachelor 'and 'M aster' d egree nam es to a 'Baccalaureate' and 'M agistariat', received 151 responses in favour of changing the nam es and 92 against.

"T he results are not very co n clu sive," adm itted W ard Smith.

The poll results will be forw arded to student Senators, w ho will use them in form ula ting opinions on the issu esat SenateBoard C aucus.

C am p u s S a fe ty a u d it in th e w o rks The Dean of Students office, Students' Society (SSMU) and QPIRG are participa ting in a cam pus-w ide safety audit sched­ uled for M arch 10 to im prove safety on M cGill's cam pus.

"T o im prove safety at McGill, w e need to start o u t with a com prehensive risk assessm ent," explained W alk Safe C oo r­ dinator Kelly G allagher-M ackay. "The safety audit isa chance for students and staff to survey all the buildings and g rou n d s for d an gers."

G allagher-M ackay added that about 70 volunteers will be needed to attend a training session at the beginning of next m onth, and that application form s are currently available at Sadie's, the SSMU inform ation kiosk in the U nion, and at Th­ om son H ouse.

Students question decision to allow exotic dancers a t Brock

BY CATHY DE RUBEIS The Brock Press The February 1st 'sensual' perform an ce at Brock's student pub, Isaac's, by Flex A ppeal, a troupe of m ale exotic dancers, has received m ixed reactions from students.

A lthough there w as little p ro­ test before the event, som e stu ­ d en ts are w ondering w hat the m otivation w as for hiring the g rou p and w hat the im plications of h aving the d ancers at Brock will b e .

W hen asked about the ration­ ale behind introducing exotic m ale d an cers at Brock, Chris T hom pson, Brock U niversity Students' Union (BUSU) en ter­

tainm ent co-ordinator, feltit w as a "fire under people's b u tts" and prom oted a sa fe environm ent for wom en who had never seen male d ancers before.

Thom pson denied that the BUSU executive w as behind his decision and that som e resistance to the d ancers w as exp ected . H e said H ex Appeal w ould not be regular perform ers at Brock and

"n a u g h ty " but fem ale dancers perform ing are considered sex­ ist.

Lisa M cLean, BUSU president, said that until there w ere bat­ tered m en 's shelters she w ould be vehem ently against female exotic d an cers perform ing at Brock.

Rhonda Sm ith, G ender Issues C o-ordin ator for BUSU, said she had only heard tw o com plaints

that he w anted to m aintain the "sh ock" appeal the perform ers' ap p earance generated.

Brock is the first O ntario uni­ versity to h ave Flex Appeal p er­

and both w ere from m ale em ­ ployees at Isaac's. The com ­ plaints w ere with the double standard in allow ing male dan c­ ers but n ot fem ale dancers to

form.

The chances that female d an c­ ers will also perform are slim.

A ccording to Thom pson, m ale d a n c e r s a re p e r c e iv e d a s

perform .

Officially, Smith felt this type of entertainm ent did not belong at Brock and that the dancers w ere hired b ecause of the reve­

nue they w ould generate.

A p rotest against the perform ­ ance had been planned by Kevin Gloin, w ho w as particularly upset with BUSU for allowing the d an cers to appear. H ow ever, he felt protesting at the perform ­ ance w ould m ake those atten d ­ ing uncom fortable and this w as not his intent.

Gloin w as going to suggest at the last BUSU m eeting that the perform an ce should be can ­ celled, but the m eeting w as not held because it lacked quorum .

Student opinion on the danc­ ers' perform ance w as m ixed.

Jonika Paulsen, a third-year Philosophy student, felt that if m ale d an cers w ere acceptable perform ing in the Brock Pub,

then the BUSU should allow female exotic d an cers to perform as well, and be w illing to accept any bad publicity that m ight follow such an event.

D 'A rcy Rheault, also a third y e a r P h ilo s o p h y s tu d e n t, thought both fem ale and m ale exotic d an cers w ere totally inap­ propriate at a university.

C h a lle n g in g dent opinion.

T h e U n iv e r s ity 's b la ta n t strong-arm tactics regard in g in­ corporation will harm the Soci­ ety financially, but politically, SSMU is in good shape. So the question to the candidates re ­ mains: W h at will you do with this organization?

If the can d id ate's an sw er to you r question m akes i t sound as if his or her aim is to better adm inistrate existing program s, don't vote for them. Thelast thing SSMU needs right now are M ichael D ukakis-type people who believe that the election should be about "com p eten ce, not ideology". This is not to dis­ parage the value of com petence, but w hat SSMU really needs are som e fresh ideas on how to p er­ form its essential task: getting studentsat McGill to act together,

It's election time at Stu­ d ents' Society again, and along with interm inable ref­ eren d u m questions (includ­ ing yet an oth er referendum on FEU Q ) w e get to elect an ­ o th e ry e a r's SSMU executive.

Before you agree to vote for anyone, ask the candidates just one question: If y o u 're elected, w hat will change?

Students' Society is, despi te w h at you m ay read here and in the D a ily, a fairly healthy institution politically. The m ere fact that so m uch atten ­ tion is paid it and so m any people petition for it to do things im plies that even if people d o not like w hat it does, it is seen as a valuable institution for involving stu ­ dents and representing stu ­

th e

as a com m u n ity, to fight for their com m on interests.

The fundam ental problems that SSMU faces isn't really in­ com p etence at the top (though that d oes m anifest itself occa­ sionally), but ignorance and in­ difference at the bottom . E xecu ­ tives are usually only as good as the quality of inpu t they get from students. W h at is needed more than anything is to inform stu­ dents about issues and en cou r­ age them to participate in deci­ sion-m aking.

There should be no effort and expense spared in informing students about Students' Soci­ ety and the w ay the University w orks. There should be no slouching on contacting faculty and dep artm ental societies to find out w hat they w ant and need, rath er than w aiting pas­

sively to see if there is input.

There are hundreds of people elected every year on this cam ­ pus to positions of responsibili ty. W hy not get them together tw ice a sem ester in a large a s­ sem bly to get a feeling of w hat the "g rassro o ts" w ants, rather than depend solely on SSMU C ouncil?

There are innum erable things w rong with this university which cry o u t for action: the need for safety on cam pu s and in the ghetto, for m ore student space, the inadequate curricula and stifling b u reau cracy w e all face at D aw son Hall. Students w ant to change these things, but they have to be given the m eans to do it.

It's up to Students' Society to act. It's up to the candidates to m ake sure it does. SSMU has to

go out and solicit feedback rather than wait for it to com e. It has to becom e a m uch m ore 'educational' institution than it currently is.

The benefits are poten­ tially enorm ous in the form of a m ore politically active student body.

If candidates asks you for y o u r vote, and you d on 't even know w hat the posi­ tions they are running for entail, ask the candidates w hy you d on 't know about it, and w hat they will d o to m ake sure you know by this time next year. If they can 't an sw er y o u , tell them co m ­ petence isn't the issue.

Ignora nee a nd apa thy a re.

T h is f i l l e r b o x

T o th e E d ito r :

I would like to comment on the overall false picture of the article "QPIRG resignations: political or personal?" (Jan 28th), while exposing its other flaws. I was still on the Board when the article was written (though it said I had resigned). Several people who spoke with the reporter were upset be­ cause what they said had been distorted or misquoted. 1 will leave it up to attentive readers to identify the various logical errors (it might make a great lunch-time game).

First, the conflicts which led to the resignations were more complex than the article let on. As Andrea Thorpe's comments indicate, they were rooted in an opposition between two fundamentally opposed visions of what Quebec PIRG could be, at a time when the organisation is still struggling to find its identity. (Quebec PIRG has only existed for four years).

It isimportant to point out that Aaron and Daron (cited as the "source" of the conflict) have both been active members for several years. Aaron worked closely with the pioneers (QPIRG started as an environmental group), while Daron joined up through the second big PIRG project, Housing. As far back as I can remember (two years) there has been a tension between the Board, which has constitutional power, and controls the budget, and the Projects (especially Housing), which wanted to have more control over their own af­ fairs. Over the years, Daron has argued and struggled for greater project au­ tonomy, and Aaron has always resented it. It is in the shadow of this basic division that the resignations must be seen.

It is all the more tragic that the resignations come at a time when a constitution for a national structure is in the final stages of ratification. The current proposal calls for transferring a full half of McGill's budget to the na­ tional board, further centralising the organisation, and further alienating students from the decision making body of the organisation.

T o th e E d ito r:

A.J. McTavish's assertion that the "secrets" of the female body are "re­ pealed" at every turn is exactly the misconception that G wen Jacobs' actions were trying to dispel (Letter to the Editor, Feb. 4-10). The real female body, :hat is the one with non symmetrical breasts, cellulite, and less-than-skeletal aroportions is a mystery to most of us because the only version of it aresented on theT.V. or in magazines is an "official" ideal that isa reality for ’ess than 5% of the population. If one were to see only those images in the media, one would be seriously misinformed and expect all women to be 5'9 md 115 lbs.

Public display of breasts m aybe debatable in terms of cultural tradition, aut it is probable that the lifelong insecurity most women have about their aodies would be destroyed if they were able to see every day, all around :hem, that not everyone has a playmate chest. It would no longer be a mystery to them whether or not they were the only ones with one breast a different size or shape from the other.

If politicization of everyday action is what it takes to make women realize he bodies thay have are normal and healthy, to stop the epidemics of inorexia, bulimia, and silicone implants, it is certainly worth the "resent­ ment" of a few old boys.

D em psey and G reen sa y w h a t th ey m ean W hen Shawna Dempsey de­ voured an entire chocolate cake, mashing it between her stockingcovered legs, the audience knew it was in for a funny show. Dempsey and fellow performance artist Tay­ lor Jane Green performed at the Union ballroom Wednesday night and crowds packed in to see the W e're T a lkin g V u lv a show. The ex­ travaganza reminded women in particular to get to know their bod­ ies, to be proud of their sexuality and to deal with seemingly embar­ rassing subjects w ith humour and honesty.

"Wakey, W akey!", said Taylor Jane to the audience in her robotic voice. Her stage presence was a state­ ment in itself, her costume, a compi­ lation of ill-fitting lingerie and oven mitt-covered hands which enhanced her message about ineffective com­ munication. She broke away from the traditional narrative by speak­ ing in a collage form initially in­ tended for the radio.

Green claimed to be a "feminist truth teller" and the content of her act revealed her mission.

"The newspaper reported that 20% of women have orgasms. One person is getting actively and di­ rectly stimulated and the other per­ son isn't," she said.

The audience laughed, both from the humour and to release the ten­ sion since the 'truths' uncovered by Green and Dempsey put people in an uncomfortable position.

"Beauty is in the eye of the person who is seeing," she remarked, dis­ m antling a famous cliché. H er act mocked the "cosmetic countercathedrals" in department stores and the m any facets of a society that empha­ sizes the importance of a women's physical appearance. "A sick soci­ ety is deadly serious about: You're not good enough!," she said.

Green and Dempsey worked hard to dispel this beauty myth.

M edusa and M a ry , Dempsey's ini­ tial monologue, addressed form-

sacrificing archetypes both ancient and modern. Dressed for success and sporting a wig of articulated snakes, Dempsey warned of the dangers of "a woman out of con­ trol", between thighfuls of choco­ late cake.

Although the act was hilarious and thought-provoking, the audi­ ence was restless w ith anticipation for The Vulva. After a brief intermis­ sion, Dempsey returned to the stage in her infamous foam costume, the one that images the female vagina.

"Whoever we are and whoever we love, we should become familiar with our vulvas. That's why I'm here, to show you around!" she said.

The tour was educational. Water came squirting out of the urethra and the talking vulva said, "You all mightbe confused about whichhole is which! Be nice to your vagina, show her some kindness."

Dempsey broke all barriers and knew no bounds as she exhibited.

Dempsey and Green, in anattempt to make their show unique from conventional theatre arts, incorpo­ rated the audience into their show.

Following the program, the audi­ ence was invited to participate in a question and answer period. The topics covered ranged from the seri­ ous to the sublime. Dempsey eluci­ dated upon Erica M 's interest in rotating W e'reTalking VufoaonMuch Music, and Green likened receiving Welfare to the receipt of a Govern­ ment Arts grant.

F o llo w in g Wednesday e vening's per­ form ance, the Tribune spoke in d iv id u ­ a lly w ith Shawna D em psey and T a ylo r Jane Green.

T rib u n e- W hat makes you a per­ form er?

Shawna Dem psey-It varies from piece to piece. On a deep level, I've alwayslikedplayingdressup, being someone I can't be in everyday life.

From the political standpoint, I usually have something that is re­ ally bugging me. W om en of my generation or older know nothing about their vulvas. They've never

seen it, touched it and they don't know it. It's obscene that we're not told about our bodies. That's porno­ graphic.

Trib-W?iaf was the in itia l in s p ira ­ tio n f o r creating the hum an v u lv a ?

S.D.-I was speaking to a woman, a 35 year old lesbian and she didn't know which hole she urinated from, she thought we peed out of the vagina. So I thought- I'll make a giant vulva and show people.

T rib -W h a t do you hope to be y o u r m ain message?

S. D .-I want women to feel better about themselves. It is a constant battle for women to feel good about the way they look in our culture because of the way the media is constantly making us feel inade­ quate. I would like my show to be a joyful and affirm ing experience.

T rib -T e ll us a b it about the medium you use to express yourself.

Taylor Jane Green-One reason I do the stream of consciousness I do is because of the way we learn in our society. Information comes tous in a patchwork way. I use little chunks all put together in a collage form. I want to break away from T.V. and use it against itself.

Instead of using this type of me­ dium to sell products for the sole purpose of making a buck, I want to use it for humanitarian purposes.

The way I speak on stage invokes a kind of energy that goes below that head level. It is a trance and ritual kind of feeling which speaks to people on a conscious and uncon­ scious level. It slows down the lis­ tening process because I slow down Shawna Dempsey in M edusa and the speaking process. This gives people time to picture what I'm talk­ ing about.

Masterpieces from the Guggen heim a real treasure

BY K A T E GIBBS Until A p ril 26, 1992, Montréal is the luckiest city in North America.

N o t only does it have John Mellencamp at the Forum and the dry land Boat Show at the BigO but it also has the Guggenheim collection. Master­ pieces from the Guggenheim is a lookatdynamichighlightsfrom one of the most comprehensive collec­ tions of Twentieth century art amassed by one man. American iron baron, Solomon R. Guggenheim accumulated a collection so exten­ sive that it is difficult to appreciate that behind these Picassos, M ondri­ ans, and Giacomettis was an indi­ vidual w ith remarkable taste.

W hile the permanent house, the radial Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd W r i g h t , u n d e r goes

renovations, Venice, M adrid, Tokyo, Sidney, and finally M ontréal have been awarded an incredible oppor­ tunity. This is the last leg of the international tour. Leaving the more esoteric pieces behind in N e w York City, the signature pieces of Tw en­ tieth Century Cubism, Expression­ ism, and Surrealism have travelled during the last two years.

The collection is less of an eso­ teric smorgasbord and more like a who's who buffet. And at five dol­ lars with a student card, it makes for a inexpensive visual feast.

The 97 pieces have been organ­ ized so the development of major schools within Modernism can be traced. The earliest work is a Renoir.

W oman w ith P arro t (1871) predates the Impressionist brush stroke with which most people identify this Parisian painter. Thecolorsare vivid and the shapes are sharp. The pose

is contrived. In this work, Renoir could not be further from capturing a random moment in time.

The most recent piece is Jean Dubuffet's D o o r w ith Couch Grass..

The sheer size of the large canvas and the texture of the layers is a testament to the combination of the formal possibilities of Cubist col­ lages and the dreamy surrealist images by the Abstract Expression­ ists.

The theme of the development to wards non-representational T wentieth century painting is enhanced by the inclusion of a selection from the Justin K. Thannhauser Collec­ tion. Although it comprises 10 oil paintings, there is not a lightweight among them: a van Gogh, a pair of Gaugin's Tahitian landscapes, and a sublime Cezanne, S till L ife : Plate w ith Peaches (1879-1880).

It is im portant to emphasize that

this exhibition has no prerequisites.

It is not necessary to have an art historical education toappreciate the concurrent movements in European and American art.

The show has been hung w ith a sensitivity which encourages com­ parison on the part of the viewer.

The uniform beige frames are trium ­ phant in their anonymity; nothing rivals the color of the pieces.

In the second gallery, Matisse's Ita lia n Woman (1916), Modigliani's N ude, (1918-19) and Brancusi's The M u se (1912) may all be considered com para tivetreatm entof the female form whether figurativeorabstract.

The highlight of the event is un­ doubtedly Gallery 6, which contains a mindboggling fifteen paintings by Vasily Kandinsky. The first of the series contains imagery from Rus­ sian folklore. The flattened color addresses the twodimensions of the

canvas in a manner reminiscent of the G augins in G a lle ry 1.

Kandinsky's interest in discovering a synthesis betw een m usical rhythms and those in visual art manifested itself in many of his canvases following W orld W ar J. Kandinsky's development is com­ plete w ith works that exemplify his later biomorphic inspirations.

Although many of the images appear familiar today, at the time of purchase, Solomon Guggenheim was venturing into the unknown.

The beauty of his passion for avant guard art and his extensive fortune is represented within his vast collec­ tion. y The M a s te rp ie c e s fr o m th e G ug­ g e n h e im ru ns F e brua ry 4 to A p r il 26, 1992, Tuesday to S unday, 11a. m. to 6p.m . (u n til9 p .m . Wednesday and Sat­ urday).

Dog germs:

BY JENNIFER LAING A N orth American tour, Snoopy The Masterpiece com­ m em orates the fortieth anniver­ sary of Charles Schulz's famous Peanuts comic strip. The facts are considerably impressive;Peanuts a p p e a rs in 67 c o u n trie s worldwide. It has been translated from English into 26 languages, and is read by 4.4 billion readers.

Unfortunately w hathad tremen­ dous potential as a retrospective of Peanuts' 40-year evolution adds up to a disappointm ent.

The exhibition is divided into four parts. The first is composed of brief character sketches of each principle Peanuts personality, followed by a succession of origi­ nal comic strips that illustrate each description. The invitation to experience the true Peanuts charm and hum our was proba­ bly the most successful part of the exhibit.

The second part is an addition to the original exhibit. The Musée

des Arts Décoratifs de Paris added a personal touch by ask­ ing fashion designers from across the globe to create custom out­ fits for Snoopy and his sister, Belle. The second room is filled with approxim ately 200 plush Snoopy and Belle dolls m odel­ ling an extensive array of cou­ ture, ranging from L.L. Bean (plaid shirt, jeansand duck boots) to a signature Chanel suit.

Although the im pact of step­ ping into a room filled with dressed-up Snoopy dolls has an overw helm ing effect, one is forced to question how this re­ lates to Snoopy as he is known.

Asidefroma few fa miliar Snoopy outfits-W orld War I Flying Ace, Joe Cool- most are sim ply mini­ ature renditions of well-known and already familiar designs.

In a similar non sequitur spirit, The Montreal M useum of Fine Arts invited 15 internationally renowned architects to provide in terp retatio n s of S noopy's world famous dog house. Ren-

in Montréal a disappointment ditionsof this theme ranged from student union to flying saucer.

The dog house models seem m ore an attem pt by the archi­ tects to outdesign one another in terms of imaginative skills rather than create a structure with Snoopy in m ind. W hat use has Snoopy for a Plateau townhouse?

The fourth and final part of the exhibition was a room filled with m ulti-coloured bean bag chairs, in which one can curl up to read from a selection of Peanuts comic books or watch one of the famil­ iar anim ated films. This room contains a contrived assortment of Peanuts paraphernalia: Linus' security blanket,W oodstock's nest, and Charlie Brown's kite.

To say that the exhibition isn't charm ing, or even innovative, would be erroneous. Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang are, as always, endearing, amusing and self-identifying. Motivating 200 designers to provide Snoopy fashions and 15 architects to

Snoopy hits the keys and the show misses the mark. create personal versions of a dog house is certainly original.

Snoopy The Masterpiece will entertain, but as a true tribute to the talent, creativity and crea­

tions of Schulz, the exhibitionfalls short. ¥ Snoopy The Masterpiece is at the The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until 29 March, 1992.

Su san Fa lu d i : docum enting the b acklash

BY L IS A H A R R IS O N If there's anything Susan Faludi's Backlash: the Undeclared W ar A g a in st A m erican Women w ill teach you, it

w ill be to not believe anything you read or see in the media. In this wellwritten exposé, Faludi investigates the ways in which our myth-creat­ ing media has convinced women that if they are unhappy, it is not be­ cause they are not yet equal, it is because they are paying for the advances that feminism has won them.

Faludi begins her analysis by exposing some of the common myths, propagated by the media, that have become accepted as 'com­ mon knowledge'.

According to Faludi, the “man shortage" that was first reported in the Stanford Advocate was based on a faulty study by the Yale sociology department; the supposedly femi­ nist-inspired no-fault divorce laws in the states were attacked for caus­ ing women to fall into poverty; the

infertility epidemic and biological clock warned women that they should not put off having children or they would face infertility; and trying to balance w ork and home was giving women increased psy­ chological problems.

One example would be the prolif­ eration of articles in the media on "female stress syndrome". Women have supposedly been burning out at work, unable to handle to pres­ sures of combiningcareerand home life.

Faludi points out that it is men,

not wom en, who have experienced increased psychological disorders in the last decade. Single, working women are the most mentally healthy demographic group inNorth America today.

Faludi's book may appear backbreakingly long, but it is readable and, more importantly, complete.

Faludi examines every aspect of the media: journalism, TV, films and advertising. She finds and docu­ ments evidence of an intricate and subtle backlash against feminism.

One of the most important rea­

sons for reading Faludi's book is that it w ill explain why women seem to be getting so many crossed sig­ nals w ith regards to what they are supposed to do with their lives. It is distressing to face advertising which presents the purchase and use of women's products as a personal, equal, and informed choice. Graphi­ cally, however, these ads often por­ tray women as children. According to Faludi, the media has co-opted feminist rhetoric and is usingit to its own advantage.

Faludi's Backlash is an excellent piece of investigative journalism. In addi­ tion to well-documented reporting, the author is not afraid to make cynical, but revealing, comments on her subject.

Faludi is unfortunately quick to dismiss many well-known feminists, such as Betty Friedan, for making comments that appear to indicate a turn against feminism. She might do better to criticize them for not recog­ nizing a subtle and misleading back­ lash that has been taking place for the past decade. ¥

B rig h t lig h ts, big Fo ru m : Redm en re trie ve C orey

BY CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR The fifth annual battle at the Forum for hockey's Corey Cup, in which the McGill Redmen de­ feated the Concordia Stingers 42, began at 10:15 Friday night.

About m idw ay through the second period.

Until then, both teams had been shaking off a powerful sedative someone had slipped in their Gatorade. Team captain M artin Raymond, who com­ bined w ith linem ates G uy Boucher and Patrice Tremblav j for nine points for the night, tried to be positive.

"The first period was just ter­ rible hockey," he said. "It was the worst period I've ever seen.

I'm sure it was a terrible show; the fans were horrified by it."

One reason for McGill's slow start was the ihtim idation of the arena, not the Stingers. Bright lights, big Forum. Skating at the Forum introduced the Redmen to 5,000 fans, the ghosts of Ca­ nadiens past, and intolerable heat, something for which the tundra that is McConnell W inter Arena had not prepared them.

To their credit, however, the teams roused themselves in the

second period, and fought hard for bragging rights to the Cup. The R a y m o n d -T re m b la y Boucher trio, one of the top lines in college hockey, decided to hold their own skills competi­ tion, creating a 2-0 lead for McGill.

"I think we understand each other on the ice," said Tremblay, the team scoring leader and Q.S.S.F athlete of the week. "I hope it will be like this the rest of the year."

M any expected a replay of the previous Friday's Concordia match, a 5-2 bloodthirsty McGill victory: the Red men open a lead, the Stingers get frustrated and go head h u n tin g . This time around, Concordia tried more or less to stay away from the cheap shots, w aitingfor scoringopportunities instead.

Surprise: it worked. Just as McGill was beginning to open up and show signs of a creative offensive pow er, C oncordia capitalized on defensive errors to even the game, the Stingers' second goal coming with five seconds left in the second pe­ riod.

"It's a game of m omentum , and right there we lost it," said forward Jordy Tedford. "We

have to be ready to play 60 m in­ utes in our own zone. Sometimes we have a few defensive lapses, and that can cost us in a close game like that."

McGill Head Coach Jean Pronovost was impressed by Con­ cordia's decision to inflict goals rather than spinal damage.

"I never doubted for a mo­ m ent that Concordia had a good team," he stated, though the Stingers are disguising it well with a 5-11-2 record. Pronovost was typically easy-going when asked about the Stinger come­ back.

"You have to allow mistakes to be m ade," he said. "I have to keep it positive and make sure that [the Redmen] go into the third period with a positive atti­ tude."

The strategy paid off as Trem­ blay, the Fresh Prince of Impor­ tant Goals, scored the winner with 3:17 to play, followed by Stacey McGregor with his ninth of the year. The win brought the Corey C up to the Redmen for the first time since '89, and has them jostling w ith the U of T Varsity Blues for second place in the OU A A East.

N ot bad for an unranked team. y

Marlinettes bring home the bacon bigtime

M cGill's synchronized swimming team gave a strongoverall perform­ ance at the OW 1AA championships in Ham ilton last week to bring home the banner and trophy.

The Marlinettes swept the solo category w ith their two entries, Jerrilin Spence capturing the gold, and Cyndy Schwartzenhauer the silver. In the duets, JenneferHenaff and Janet Gillis registered a fourth place perform­ ance, while Alitsia Medina and Caroline St. Onge finished tenth.

After a day of competition, M cG ill trailed Western by five points, 3136. McGill's championship hopes rested upon Sunday's figuresand team routine events. M cG ill novice Wend y Pollard scored a first just ahead of third-place teammate Paule Charland. Jennefer Henaff and Cyndy Schwartzenhauer collected a 2nd and a 3rd respectively at the intermediate level, and Michelle Elizovand and Jerrilin Spence mirrored those finishes in the senior figures.

"Even though we were one point ahead going into the team competi­ tion, we couldn't relax," said Henaff. "We had to give a strong perform­ ance to w in the gold."

After the final tally, M cG ill emerged first overall with 82 points, nine ahead of second place Western. Inoverall individual competition, Jerrilin Spence was awarded the Sea Queen trophy for her m edal-winning per­ formances in three events.

"This is the most memorable year I've had coaching here," said Head Coach Geraldine Dubrule.'Tve never known such a group of girls."

The Marlinettes w ill lose almost half of their A team to graduation this year.

Track team meets with success in Toronto

The M cG ill track team was at the Uni versi ty of Toronto Open this past weekend where Linda Thyer won the 1500 metres easily in a relatively slow 4:47 and Georgia Tzavellas finished third. Catherine Macdonald earned a fourth place finish with a time of 5:42.85.

"It went fairly well, but most of the top runners were in the night section," said coach Dennis Barrett, "W e wereup against Queens, Buffalo State, and Laurentian, so for the most part the competition was pretty weak."

In the women's 1,000m, veteran runner Maeve M uldow ney collected a first w itha time o f2:59.89. Shotputter Kristen Fry netted a 5th wi th a toss of 11.86m, while bagging a 5.41m long jump good for 2nd spot.

M cG ill's best performance in the men's 1500m was turned in by veteran Paul McCabe at 4:10.1 seconds, earning a 4th overall. Steven Shigeishi was 5th with 4:12.65.

In the men's 1,000m event, Peter Richmond came 2nd, marking a time of 2.33:86, w ith Christian M urray right behind at 3rd in 2:35.41. M artin Latour finished 1st in the men's long jump, leaping 5.7m, and put forth a 2nd place triple jump of 12.57m.

In the men's 4 x 800 relay, M cG ill finished first w ith a time of 809.56 seconds.

Vert et O r soundly defeat Martlets The M cG ill Martlet V olleyball team met the Sherbrooke women's team Wednesday evening, falling in three straight to the V ert et Or, 15-6,15-7, 15-6. ' Sherbrooke is tough, but I think that because we played such a great tournament at Concordia last weekend, the girls let themselves dow n in terms of physical conditioning and mental preparation," said Head Coach Rachelle Béliveau. "They were tired and they couldn't keep up."

The Martlets play against the Université de Montréal Sunday, to wrap up the season. "[U de M is] one of the biggest teams in the league," said Béliveau.

Because they are so tall, we want to score more than eight points against them. That is our objective for the game."

So far, the Martlets have posted a 12-16 match record.

Martlets get their heads together The M artlet Hockey Team saw action twice this past week, splitting the weekend w ith a 2-1 loss to Concordia Friday, and a 3-0 shutout of John Abbott College on Saturday.

"We were ahead by one for most of the [Concordia] game Friday, and then ended up losingit,"said Head Coach Geoff Phillips. "W edefinitely lacked a bit of mental strength, but I think we addressed tha t problem. We had a good talk about it, and Saturday we were in the same situation and we Came out and scored two more instead of giving up tw o more."

Both Brenda Benson and Kathy M orrison tallied three points in Satur­ day's match-up.

The Martlets play against the Lady Stingers Thursday at Concordia.

Tro u g h t file ts Redm en defense, au g ra tin

BY SEAN GORDON There are days in everyone's life w hen things just seem to go well. For athletes, such occur­ rences can be spectacular, but for the great ones they can be positively awe-inspiring. Just ask anyone who saw Mike Trought in action in the Currie Gym on Sunday.

Who is Mike Trought? Well, sim ply put, he's the Carleton Ravens' answ er to Michael Jor­ dan. So thorough w asTrought's dom ination in Carleton's 92-85 trium ph over the Redmen, that players and coaches alike were left grum bling to themselves.

Well folks, he ended up scoring 48 poi n ts, bu t i t mi gh t ha ve been worse; he missed three layups and a free throw.

"We heard that he was on top of his game," said McGill coach Nevio M arzinotto "but what can you do? He was just unconscious; he was hitting from every­ where".

The game started o u ta sa tight defensive contest, characterized by poor shooting and turnovers.

McGill stayed close because of good rebounding,particularlyby the Redmen forwards, who ter­ rorized the Ravens on the defen­ sive glass all afternoon.

The teams traded buckets until the halfway mark of the first half, when defensive specialist Bruce Bird had to sit because of early foul trouble. W ithoutBird,coach Marzinotto elected to go toa half­ court pressure defence, which was successful in slowing down Carleton's half-court set.

Unfortunately, it did little to stop the Ravens' fast break.

Trought was the catalyst of the break opportunities, and it was am azing that he did n 't leave the game to put out the fire on his shooting hand.

McGill Sexual Assault Centre •;v is open late every Friday until 9 PM C a ll: 3 9 8 - 2 7 0 0

C arleton kept co n v ertin g McGill misses into often easy baskets, parlaying the advantage into a 12-point lead with 6:00 remaining. The Ravens, on the strengths of Trought's torrid shooting (25 first half poin ts) and tightdefence,builtthelead tol6.

Just before half, both teams suffered from turnoveritis and the Redmen trimmed the lead to 12 (47-35) at halfrime.

After halftime the Ravens built the lead up to 16. Trought con­ tinued his unbelievable shoot­ ing, m aking a m ockery of McGill's attem pts at double teams and traps, and the lead

was 19 with 13:00 left.

But then, as TV sportscasters like to say, cue the comeback! , Once again the Redmen refused to die. They attem pted to con­ tain Trought and were effective in keeping the ball out of the Carleton behem oth's hands.

McGill chipped away at the lead, and when Todd McDou­ gall jammed a rebound and got the foul, the fans went wild.

Trought, however, staved off the R edm en com eback, quickly pum ping in another deuce to make it eight.

Soon after, Cam Mathison

m ade a great slashing move to the hole after a turnover to cut it to 4. Trought then m ade two quick jumpers. After a timeout, M athison prom ptly spotted up for an open three pointer and canned it. Carleton widened the margin, but Mathison continued his heroics by draining another three to cut the lead to two.

However, it just w asn't to be.

Theofficiating tightened up with McGill in the penalty.

"I thought there should have been more no-calls," said coach Marzinotto,"I w asn't very happy with the officiating; I mean sometimes you have to let these

guys play!".

Cool foul shooting dow n the stretch, particularly by Trought, iced the game for the Ravens, and the final was 92-85.

"We just w eren't relaxed when it was close, we tensed up, but that's the m ark of a young team" said Marzinotto.

The high scorer for the Ravens was Trought with 48, followed

by All-Name team candidate Taffe Charles with 12. The Redmen were led by Todd McDougall who poured in 21, Cam Mathison w ho had 16 and David Jesperson who had 12. V

Martlets roll over Laval on way to finals

BY ALISON KORN The Martlets basketball team is on a roll. After defeating both Concordia and Bishop's earlier last week, it extended its win­ ning streak to three with a 60-58 victory over nationally-ranked Laval on Sunday. In less than one week, the M artlets have defeated every opponent in the QUBL, something Coach Chris H unter felt the team needed to prove to itself.

"For us, it was a question of showing ourselves that w e're able to beat [Laval], and now it's a question of going ou t there and doing it the next rime we play them. W e're very pleased with wha t we got done tod ay and this week," he said.

The McGill win m arks leader Laval's firstdefeat in league play, but it did not come w ithout sus­ pense. Tied 31-31 at halftime, the game was still up for grabs with only 2 m inutes rem aining and another deadlock of 58-58.

Debby Morse gave McGill the decisive edge with a quick steal and hasty basket with barely a m inute and a half to go. Morse led the team with 19 points and was a rebounding dervish at both ends of the court. Jane Ross popped in 18 points whileescaping any real foul trouble, and M artina van der Vlist contrib­ uted 16.

"This win is really important for usbecause we wanted to beat [for the first time] a nationallyranked team. If we play as well as we did today, we'll win [next time]. We'll probably see them in the finals," said van der Vlist Part of the M artlets' success came because they were able to break the spell of Laval's impos­ ing Chantal Denis, the league's leading scorer.

"We always have to play her tough," adm itted Morse. "We had a couple of new offences and they worked a few times."

Laval, ranked seventh in Can­ ada, depends on Denis for the

bulk of its scoring. H unter as­ signed veteran forward Keva Glynn the frustrating chore of obstructing Denis.

"We had to do a job on her," he said. "Although Keva is not that tall playing her, she just battles her all game long. " "It [was] like a war zone out there," noted Assistant Coach Linda Macpherson. "We have to persevere, but w e're good at that."

The Martlets head into the final two weeks of the season with a second place finish assured. They will play all threeopponentsonce m ore before entering the first round of the playoffs, to be held at home against either Bishop's or Concordia.

But the Martlets are looking beyond that.

"The road to the Nationals is through Québec City. W e've got

two weeks left before playoffs and we really want to refine what we've been doing," said Hunter.

"It's a question now of trying to clean up our execution, and being ready so that w e're at our best at the end of the season in the play­ offs."

The QUBL finals will be held at Laval, which has first place secu red, wi th the Québec cham p travelling to UPEI for the CIAU Championships.

Last week, and particularly last weekend have given the M ar­ tlets the assurance that they are plausible participants at PEI. Said Macpherson, "This [win] was so im portant for our own psyche. We know we can play with them."

Morse put it more precisely.

"We know we can beat [Laval] now," she exulted.

Right now, the average male plays any given sport better than the average female. The quality of play in m en's leagues is generally higher than the level of competition in w om en's leagues.

The proliferation of women in sports, however, is of in­ trinsic value to our society.

Any sport enthusiast should have a place to play, regard­ less of his or her sex.

That's especially what house league is all about. In a house league format, only an entry fee and regular atten­ dance are required. O rganiz­ ers of each house league loosely monitor the competi­ tive structure and skill level of both the teams themselves, and individuals on those teams. Hence, we have 'A' league, 'B' league, 'C league.

Furthermore, there are often three alternatives for every player, depending on his or her level of skill: m en's teams, wom en's teams and co-rec teams.

Because the disparity be­ tween gender performance is on the average and not case by case, there's a good deal of overlap in the middle, where some woman can consistently outplay some men.

If a woman player is good enough to be beyond the top level of competition in the fe­ male league, perhaps it is best that she play the role of team leader, and pass on some of her know-how to her fellow teammates.

Just like what happens in the m en's league.

That's not what happens in

If the men had come through the way that they should have, we wouldn't be in second," said head coach/racer Pavel Pochobradski. "If you add up all the points, we're almost 300 behind overall. If every­ th in g goes right, we may come out on top, but it certainly w on't be becau se of the giant slalom .It's going to be tough."

M cG ill rode into Québec City on the rebound from a disturbing Rimouski incident that threatened to blemish the jovial nature of com­ petition among Québec circuit squads. A week prior, Rimouski locals had made evident its intoler­ ance of Montréal Anglophones.

But he high spirits of Québec's Carnaval prevailed and permeated every aspectof competition over the weekend.

Also rebounding on McGill's behalf was Ottawa native M ary Pochobradski, who returned to competitive racing after recovering from knee surgery. Pochobradski twice sat fourth at the break, only to twice more fall in the second run.

M cGill's Eric Bedard put together an inspiring run Sunday morning.

H e hurtled through the gates to a prelim inary 12th place finish before a spectacular upset at the base of the pitch in the second run ended his race prematurely. A frustrated Gra­ ham Moysey collected 13th and 15th place finishes, and Dave Butterfield posted a 16th and a 13th. "[The course Saturday morning] was a little too straight for my lik­ ing," said Head Coach and competi­ tor Pavel Pochobradski.

Setting the pace for the M cGill men, Pochobradski negotiated the course with a highly technical ap­ proach that served him well on the pitch, but cost him slightly after the interim time on the flats. Tocho' came away from Québec with two 7ths.

The M cG ill Alpine Ski Team is undecided whether it w ill send a représenta tive to com pete for McGill at the upcoming Can-Am event. V

m any instances. All too often, skilled females are either ab­ sorbed or defect into m en's leagues.

If all the wom en who fancy themselves too good to play with women are funnelled into the m en's leagues, then the future of the wom en's league is comprom ised. There are m any women who want to compete with other women at a substantial skill level, who cannot find equals in the wom en's league if all the good players defect.

There is of course, a semivalid flipside to this argu­ ment. Even if a co-rec team were available, m any women would prefer to play with men because the existing unw ritten rules of co-rec play work to exclude wom en from the bulk of the action. Often gameplans are rooted in schemes to move the tide of play up through the males on the team, while the women are regarded as liabilities to be factored out of the course of action.

Before women even step onto a playing surface it has been illogically determ ined that they are inferior to their male counterparts, due to stereotypes.

The idea of a skilled wom an playing on a team with infe­ rior women has apparently lost its appeal. It7s either not competitive enough, or imbalanced. The most skilled and serious female houseleaguer is draw n only to the m en's league.

This is a classical catch-22 scenario that begs an im m edi­ ate solution for both league organizers and athletes alike.

Intram ural/houseleague athletes resign themselves to a degree of sportspersonship to begin with, and they are obliged to take one further step into the nineties and work this thing out by leaving attitudes, old and new, out of the sports arena.

In a perfect world, w e'd know that someone was not passing you the ball because you are a pylon in general, not because of your gender.

BY JANET MCKETSY The McGill Swim Team swims fast when it's angry. This past Friday night, the swim team completed its final regular sea­ son meet, dueling against the Université de Montréal. The McGill men topped U de M by a score of 113 to 83, while the McGill wom en were edged by a score of 123 to 89.

There were a num ber of im­ pressive performances at the meet. Rookie Carolyn Ahmarani had the most inspiring swim, chopping four seconds off her best time in the 100 metre breaststroke and qualifying for the CIAU's in the process.

Unfortunately, the big story this weekend was not the swim meet. It seemed that the Swim Team had been left out of the Currie Bugle’s most recent issue, and the team was up in arms.

Many of the swim m ers and coaches felt that as one of the m ore successful and hard work­ ing teams on campus, they de­ served at least some mention in the triennial new spaper pub­ lished by the Athletic Depart­ ment. In fact, the swim team is the only Level One team not to have an article in the Bugle this year.

"It's not like we need the press to make [swimming] w orth­ while, but it would be nice to think that we were recognized for all of our hard work within our own departm ent," said backstroker Jennifer Lailey.

M any of the older swimmers saw the omission of the Swim Team as something more seri­ ous than a simple oversight. One

b o ils

of the senior swim m ers was not surprised by the oversight. "[Swim m ing Head Coach] Frank [Laurin] and Earl [Zukerman, the editor of the Bugle], have been fighting with each other since 1got here , and it's always the athletes who suffer in the end," said veteranTerry Dimock.

"It's true that Earl and I don't have the best w orking relation­ ship in the world, but I don't think our personal feelings for

o v e r

a n d

;ach other should interfere with the am ount of press coverage the swimm ers get," said Coach Laurin.

Many of the female swimm ers see the omission in a more in­ sidious light. "Itseem sironic that Earl has pictures of us [members at the w om en's swim team] in aur bathing suits all over his affice wall," said Lailey, "but he won't include a story about our athletic achievements in the

Bugle."

According to Zukerm an, the reason there w asnoarticleabout the swim team in the Bugle has nothing to do with the team it­ self.

"Getting inform ation from François about the team is like pulling teeth," he said. "I can't w rite anything about the team if I d o n 't have any information about them."

"I did commission my assis­

L a v a l

tant editor to write a story about the Swim Team. Unfortunately, I had to fire him because he w asn'tdoing his job,"Zukerman continued. "I justdon'thave time to run around collecting infor­ mation for a story. If François would be more cooperative, perhaps the Swim Team would get more publicity."

The Swim Tea m competes thi s weekend at the QFSS Cham pi­ onships in Quebec City. y
