N ew coalition group S e n s a tio n a liz e d title k ills s tu d e n ts ’ p a ssio n fo r le c tu re m eets to address discrim ination BY SANCH ARI CHAKRAVARTY
A lecture presented last week from the McGill Osier L ec ture series left many students dis appointed. The lecture, titled “Learning From Nazi Doctors: M edicalized K illing And B e yond”, only briefly touched on the k n o w led g e N azi doctors gained from concentration camps during World War II. The lecture was presented by Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, a pro fessor o f psychology and psy chiatry at the City Univeristy o f N ew York. Many in attendance believed the lecture would ad dress the topic o f euthanasia, but this was not the case. “There was nothing new ,” com plained Rumi Faizer, U 2 biochemstry student. “Whether information gained from Nazis should be used today is an actual debatable issue. You couldn’t get any new information from what he [Lifton] said, he just talked about atrocities w e are already aware o f.” Lifton stressed the need for
a continued effort to combat ex isting N eo-N azi movements but primarily took a psychological approach in his discussion. “ [One must look to the] evolution o f species-conscious ness with hopes that confronta tion w ill lead to healing prac tices,” insisted Lifton. “W e must look into the abyss o f the medical profession by looking at the ex treme behavior o f doctors as a method o f recognizing humane principles in the medical profes sion.” Despite Lifton’s eloquence, the lecture did not focus on sev eral key issues, which left U 1 medical student Madhuri Inamdar dissatisified. “Although I thought Lifton was a good speaker, I would have hoped he would have delved into the ethics behind human experi mentation,” said Inamdar. Osier Society member and U3 medical student Alex Kon believed the lecture was valid, if slightly o ff topic. “Perhaps the title could have been a little different,” ad mitted Kon. “The lecture was
mmmM
given to give people knowledge and to heighten awareness. I feel sorry if people feel they have wasted an hour, [but] if someone didn’t like what was being said, they could have left.” Although the lecture de parted from the topic o f euthana sia, Lifton’s discussion o f ‘dou b ling’ (the formation o f a func tional second-self), was o f inter est to some medical students. “The splitting o f personal ity, ‘doubling’, is an important principle,” insisted Anne-Karine Fortin, a U3 medical student. “Doctors need to disassociate them selves from an injured per son.” Representatives o f the Osier Society maintained that although there may have been some confu sion regarding the lecture’s topic, the society did fulfil its goal of raising the consciousness o f indi viduals. “Just the fact that the lec ture was held is important, even if people didn’t com e,” stressed Kon. “Making people think about medical humanism is our goal.”

A relatively small turnout of representatives from campus stu dent organizations attended an open meeting last Wednesday, which proposed the unification of student groups into a broad-based coalition that would address dis crimination issues at McGill. Two members o f the AntiRacist Working Group, a newly formed student organization which has applied for Students' Society recognition, helped organize the meeting. U3 Arts student Jonathan Shine and U1 Arts student Carmen Larsen scheduled the meeting last Wednesday night, only a few days after an incident in which an offcampus organization distributed an anti-semitic Ku Klux Klan (KKK) newspaper at McGill. Despite the apparent coinci dence of the two events, the group emphasized that the presence of KKK literature on campus was not the sole catalyst for the meeting. Larsen and Shime indicated that plans regarding the establishment o f a unified coalition had already been in the works for several weeks. “If the KKK’s presence on campus motivates coordination and cooperation then fine, but there have been more damaging inci dents of discrimination at McGill long before,” Larsen pointed out. The organizers stressed that the concept o f a collective com mittee derives from the difficulty individual groups have faced while attempting to raise their concerns over discriminatory policies and curriculum with the McGill ad ministration. U3 Arts student and Black Students’ Network member Kike Roach warned that concerns of greater importance than the dis semination o f KKK literature needed the attention of the coali tion. “I think it is worse that we have profs spouting garbage in classes that we pay for, not that some kook comes in from the out side with printed garbage that the Holocaust didn’t happen,” she claimed. The coalition hopes to cre ate a united front against intoler ance and an internal network within
which groups can discuss and ad dress common interests. “There is a lot of dissatisfac tion with the administration be cause there have been a number of demands which have not been re sponded to,” insisted Shime. “The first step is to have a coalition working together with common interests.” Many o f those in attendance agreed, including Outreach Thea tre Troupe coordinator Amy Pressman, who b eliev es in a ‘strength in numbers’ approach in dealing with problems. “There are too many groups fighting problems by working alone,” explained Pressman. “The only way to get the administration to listen is to have an abundant amount o f support behind each demand.” However, others were hesi tant to offer immediate support to the idea o f the coalition.
“It seems that this network is to be mostly responsive. Why not something more pro-active instead o f just reacting to isolated situa tions?” wondered U2 Arts student Daniel Koffler, who explained that he favoured preventative measures over reactionary ones. Other concerns included the possibility that not all members of a coalition would necessarily sup port every issue addressed. Larsen dismissed the hypothetical scenario as unlikely and expressed hope that participants would let shared interests override individual dif ferences. “The topics we may be ad dressing will be so general that they won’t offend a lot o f people,” reasoned Larsen. “Who is going to disagree, for example, that we need a better sexual assault policy?” Due to the coalition’s recent creation, neither Shime or Larson wanted to discuss specific plans of action prematurely. Despite the poor attendance at last week’s meeting, Shime was hopeful that better communication and increased publicity for the next meeting will increase attendance. He remained equally optimistic about the coalition’s potential. “This could easily turn into something that could really have some effect on the university,” en thused Shime.

N ew s B r ie fs CASA to h o ld first m e e tin g this w e e k McGill’s Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CASA) will hold its first formal meeting this week in an effort to attract new membership and outline the group’s agenda for the coming year. CASA Coordinator Amy Ridley explained the group’s role in relation to safety and awareness projects organized by other campus groups, including Walk-Safe Network (WSN) and the Sexual Assault Centre (SAC). “The Coalition is more the informational dissemination group,” Ridley said. “We conduct forums on issues of sexual harassment and assault.” Ridley pointed out that plans to help organize Sexual Assault Awareness Week and to help host the Second Annual Inter-University Women’s Conference are also in the works. Members of other campus safety organizations lent their support to CASA’s role regarding sexual harassment and assault. “CASA’s role is to be the vocal and political group dealing with sexual assault and violence against women,” stated SAC Co coordinator Mary-Margaret Jones. ‘They are able to say things that we at the Center are not able to say because we provide a service and do not have a political orientation.” WSN Spokesperson Fiona Deller praised CASA efforts in the past. “CASA has a really good record of presenting speakers, putting on forums and organizing conferences, and they did a great
job last year without a budget,’’Deller explained, noting that CASA has yet to obtain funded interest group status from Students’ Society. Ridley hoped to attract new members and gain additional support at the meeting. “We know there are a lot more people out there interested in helping us," she stated. “The issue of sexual assault is paramount, but it is becoming critical given the [safety] climate in Montreal, particularly, in the student ghetto.” CASA’s first meeting will be held on Wednesday evening at 6PM in the Frank Dawson Adams Auditorium.

Pillar, A U S attem p t to define a w orking relation sh ip BY JO NATHAN DAW RANT In the first year following the breakup of the Arts and Science Un dergraduate Society (ASUS), the Pil lar student magazine is defining its new relationship with the newlyformed Arts Undergraduate Society (AUS). A task force consisting of two AUS representatives, two Pillar staff members and one member at large has been established to outline Pillar guidelines and a future mandate. “When the ASUS disbanded last year, a lot of the contractual agreement between the Pillar and the ASUS ceased to exist,”explainedPi7/ar Editor Anna Serrano. Key issues of financ ing, editorial control and future con tent lack both solid agreement and AUS consent. “It’s sort of all up in the air now,” admitted AUS President Mark Luz. Since the AUS budget is sub stantially smaller this year, the amount of money available to the Pillar has been reduced. “We have received $5,500 from the AUS,” said Serrano. Consequently, the Pillar has been forced to seek alternative sources of funding. “We are [also] being funded by
Dean of Arts John McCallum who has agreed to match any money we raise over $6000,” Seranno elaborated. In the past, the Pillar had been financed by science students through the ASUS. The PiV/ar has received no commitment for funding from the newly-formed Science Undergraduate Society (SUS). “I have received nothing from the Pillar in terms of proposals for funding,” explained SUS President Charles Bukalia. “My own personal feeling is that we shouldn’t (fund the Pillar) because I don’t think it repre sents Science students, but any deci sion would not be made by myself but by the [SUS] council.” The task force created to ad dress the magazine’s future will also discuss the question of editorial con trol, but Serrano and Luz both agree that the Pillar has been effectively produced in the past without external input. “To say that there is a problem with editorial autonomy would be go ing too far, what they are (AUS) con cerned about is the relationship be tween the Pillar and the AUS,” ex plained Serrano. “No one in the AUS wants to dictate what’s going on in the Pillar, the only thing we were concerned about is
how broad it [the magazine’s focus] will be,” Luz stated, concurring with Serrano’s views. The mandate which the task force is expected to recommend to the AUS will address the Pillar equal focus on all the departments in the Arts faculty. Luz em phasized what he percieved to be the biggest problems regarding past editions of the Pillar. “A lot of people [in the society] didn’t know what the Pillar was,” he stated, noting that most people view the Pillar as an English literary journal when that is not the case. “We really want to market the Pillar as not just an English journal,” he concluded.
Serrano understood the AUS concerns but questioned the idea of quantifying the number of articles from each department. “It’s kind of silly to try to cat egorize articles when many articles involve areas of more than one depart ment,” she explained. Regardless of any AUS task force decisions reached, the first issue will be produced as in the past. Only then will the committee study and analyze the magazine in order to make clear recommendations. When asked how the Pillar will appear this year in light of all the con flicting issues and reduced financing, Smith was effusively optimistic. “It will be even better.”

"Behind every greatman, there has to be a great woman..." Are sisters doin' it for them selves? In the case of the recent American presidential race, they're doing it for their men. The latest U.S. election surely displayed a reversal of recognized social custom; Bill Clinton was raised by a single mother, he met his wife, Hillary, at Yale Law School. Hillary earns $160,000 which is four times his $35,000 governors salary. This display of progress was, however, tainted with remnants from the tradition of wife-as-omament. Examine identical twins Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore. Besides the overwhelming cosmetic similarity (blond/blue), they are, as People magazine so eruditely put it, "gal pals of the top order." The two women have been packaged to be presented as two peas in a pod. People raved about the sudden, deep bond that's developed between
the two First Ladies. "Hillary and Tipper have talked about different places to shop," a con tented A1 Gore reported. When will this nonsense stop? Why is a brilliant woman, ranked among the countrys toplawyers, reduced to swapping drivel with Tipper? The magazine never mentions what Bill and A1 talk about. Their ties must be cool and business-like. There's no mention of any special friendship here. Their relationship is purely rational/intellectual; their wives' is pri marily emotional/visceral. Why must Hillary and Tipper be such severe mirror images of one another that they are essentially ren dered faceless? Easy. The silent yet supportive backbone of the family, the purveyor of family values, must never eclipse the main attraction: the hus band, father, President. It is a sad thing that the main role of the political wife is to uphold the myth of the nuclear family. Can
Comment Mr. Brian Mulroney, the Ju das of conservatism, has proved once again that he is the Audrey McLaughlin of the Progressive Conservatives. Not only does he have predilection towards pandering to special interests, he also lacks the balls (pun intended) in dealing with major issues that face this country. Let's begin with the egregious at tempt by Canadas political elite to backstab the nation: the Charlottetown accord. In one of the most bizarre cases of modem constitutional his tory, a government tried to sell-out its citizens by giving the ethnically correctablank cheque. For example, the demands for Native self-government would only end up being funded by the hardworking, tax paying Canadian citizens, rather than those who are making such a demand. Self-government is just a cynical ploy by native leaders to set up parasite economies on reserva tions. Eligible activities include: smuggling cigarettes from the U.S. sold duty free; gambling; and inland banking (i.e. money laundering). The problem with the PCs is that they have completely abandoned the political ideals that they are supposed to espouse. The very thought that the Tories are now supporting a conservative agenda is ludicrous. The conservative in PC has become a merely perfunctory term. During our brief membership in PC McGill, we found this or ganization packed with ideologically bankrupt lap-dogs dabbling in resume politics. So is all lost for conservatism in Canada? Quite the contrary. The fire that has been lit across the prairies by the populist Reform party is spreading throughout Canada. The new custodian of Canadian con servatism is Preston Manning. Furthermore, Mr. Mulroney

you imagine a divorced man running for president? Of course not. Despite the fact that over 50 per cent of all marriages will end in divorce, presi dential aspirants are required to be larger-than-life examples of that mi nority that is, after all these years, still married— and happily so, to boot. In these heady emancipatory times, it is still essential that a president have a wife who looks good and talks good (but not too much). Her role is summed up in the expression "tais-toi et sois-belle." If either of these women were to be eclectic, eccentric or strident, it would hinder the careers of their hus bands. So they shut up when they have much to say and instead, bake cookies. They remain attractive in an under stated way, their individuality stifled. (It leads one to wonder what Bill and Al's top microwaveable specialty is. Perhaps GQ could run a contest; I'm sure men would care.) I hope the snuffing out of Hillary

In the last issue of the Tribune, I was quoted in the story “Council recognizes General Assembly...’’(Nov. 10) as saying “Students do notcare.”If the quote was actually mine, I was quoted out of context. My point was that there will always be individuals that are not active in the student com munity. But there will also be those who are active in the student commu nity, and many more that lie between these extremes. I do not believe that all students do not care, as the quote im plied. Furthermore, last week’s edito rial suggested I felt that the General Assembly should have addressed cru cial issues. I would be hard put to come up with an issue that is more crucial than student safety. My point was that the General Assembly might have been more successful had it focused on a single is sue, rather than many. I imagine it must have been hard for Mr. Alam to hear me speak in B09/10 from the Tribune office.

Primed for a stellar law career in Washington, Hillary relinquished it to be with Bill in Arkansas. A com promise, but still she clung to her maiden name.

has lost all credibility as a leader. Prior to the vote on that wretched Referendum, Mr. Mulroney had painted a picture of doomsday for all of Canada should they reject his lu cid plan. The financial markets re sponded accordingly, the dollar fell and interest rates shot up. After the No vote, the dollar g ained ground, and interes t rates fell. So much for economic devastation. Worse still for all Canadians, is Mr. Mulroney's promise to concentrate on the economy. That translates into Brian indulging us in some old fashioned Keynsian pump priming: keep spending money until his popularity increases. This brings back memories of Mulroney's rig marole politics that precedes every election year. Canada's rejection of Mulroney's vision should be treated as a rejection of the man himself, and not a rejection of the fundamental roots of conservatism. The country has been forced to support denizens and neer - do - wells for far too long. We must all become contributors to society or else this country is destined to remain a debt-ridden haven for incompetent blood-suckers and va grants. We need a new champion of conservatism for Canada, and this man may very well be Preston Manning.

‘no’ supporters for years to come; and rightfully so. You see, on the morning after, it’s easy to say that there was a con sensus against a bad deal; almost all regions voted ‘no’. However, as Mr. Clark pointed out, in a bleak assesment of the result, the country is in peril— People voted ‘no’ for diametrically opposing reasons. And this raises profound, long term concerns about our collective ability as a common people to stay together as a nation. All is not lost, however. The next federal election is ex ceedingly important: it is of paramount importance that we, as concerned citi zens, give a clear message and mandate to a majority government. With the power and mandate to bring together all Canadians: nationalist Quebecers who don’t want to leave Canada, as well as discouraged westerners suf fering from deep-rooted feelings of alienation. The overriding fear is that any complacency on the part of Canadians and Quebecers as a whole, may lead us down a given path. This path, once far enough down it, may very well provide no more easy exists, or safe retreats. The responsibility would have lied with us to save one of the greatest democ racies, one of the precious few places where each and every individual can strive and attain truly remarkable lev els of personal success; from extinction! History would severly judge our gen eration. Let’s not play with fire: we may end up burning down the whole house.

The McGill Tribune, November 17-23.1992
O rgasm ergo sum Is it me or is absolutely every aspect of life pervaded with references to sex? Homosexual sex, safe sex, sex shops, straight sex... All these references to sex, in their limitless manifestations, determine the environment of popular culture: music, film and art. Sex manipulates language. It adds connotations and innuendo. Freud would have long worn out his welcome were this climate not omnipresent. Apart from being a criticism of the constant reference to sexual activity, this is more of a general observation: does this fact offer perspective of the terrible chaos? The quest for the ultimate orgasm has hacked off everbody’s perspective in the short term. Immediate satisfaction is sought at the expense of all other goals. Values such as emotional intimacy, commitment and symbiotic co-existence, fall by the Way-side in the modem era. But make no mistake: this is far from being a Bible-banning return to any “family values”-type argu ment. This is not even a polemic in favour of curbing all sexual exploits people might seek out for themselves. However, it is a lament for the loss of the emotional intensity which comprises the caring and protecting element that is sup posed to naturally exist between two people, especially two people who share a physically-intimate relationship. In last summers movie, Basic Instinct, the hero tells his “girl friend” (a status that is very questionable) that although they had had sex 10 or 15 times, he still doesn’t owe her anything. I say he does. Rather, I say he should, and she should owe him as well.

This column is not about prescriptive or preachy solutions; such discourse would be as ridiculous as it is futile. But, one can empirically observe through all the pervading sexual references in society a loss of the potentially meaningful experience that, in theory, should arise through intimate relations. A major consequence is that it is popular culture that ends up defining sex. Pre-set meanings for sexual relations take away the individual significance. That is not to say sex is always devoid of intimacy, but rather the over-dramatizing of sex has skewed its various potential meanings. Modernity is characterized by this chimera of intimacy. Every body is supposedly talking more openly about sex, but the real depth of human passion has shallowed. People are not capable of defining meaning for them selves outside of socially con structed parameters. To teach people we must first be blinded; then discard all the standard conceptions of sex and begin again. Love would then be untainted by everyone’s bloated expecta tions, and replaced by real emotion and concern as they arise from the impact of two colliding souls. The more individually conceptualized love is, the more meaningful. Ignore what is written on the bathroom walls. Ignore what is seen at movies or what is over heard on public transit. Don’t mangle the power of sex. Don’t fear it; embrace it. All of it.

More letters to th e E ditor peruse such an article with a touch of nostalgia, I am truly afraid for the people (especially those inour ‘higher’ education system) who need a news magazine’s interpretation of data to build confidence in their choice of university. I am afraid I can’t share the same ‘happy-go-lucky-there,-Iknew-I-was-right-all-along ’ attitude as our first year friends. In a country (and world) where jobs are scarce and undergraduate de grees are becoming insufficient, inno vation not reputation is the dey to success. Co-operative programs like those at University of Waterloo and Environmental Programs offered out in Western Canada and at Trent are impressive acheivements which reflect adaptation to the future. Don’t animal herding techniques and science ex periments from the 1800s seem a little out of place in comparison? Perhaps instead of sitting back on our now very comfy pile of laurels, a big pretencious university like McGill could possible learn something new and creative from our smaller and so-called ‘less reputed’ academic brothers and sisters. At least buy us some books forournon-placedlibrary !

O ffen sive... We would like to know sho bestowed upon Adam Stembergh the almight right to define the word ‘fra ternity ’ (“I.F.C. ya”, Nov. 10). he writes that fraternities “are ‘clubs’ with exclusionary membership policies,” and they “explicity discriminate on the basis of gender” and other “social cri teria.” In com parsion, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a fraternity as “a social, honorary, or professional organization.” Mr. Stembergh’srestricted view (of frats might be offensive to many fraternities, but none more so that the McGill Medical Fraternity. The Med Frat is not a member of the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC). As opposed to the ‘social ’ college frats which compose the IFC, the Med Frat is a ‘professional’ organization whose principles and activités relate to the medical profession and the more gen eral health care field. Our co-ed college chapter of
__ t«#lnfo___ Crime 393-1133 Onthe evening of Tuesday, August 11,1992, around 08:25, a young woman was jogging eastbound on the south sidewalk of Docteur Penfield Ave. This street crosses the south side of Mount Royal, in the heart of downtown Montreal. As the woman passed du Musée Avenue, an individual rushed out at her from behind and threw her to the ground. He attacked her in an especially cruel fashion with a brown handled knife. Because the victimpersistently resisted, the aggressor even threatened to kill her. He dragged her beside a building where he repeatedly punched her in the face and sexually assaulted her. Nevertheless, she was able to free herself and escape, but not without difficulty. The assailant is in his thirties. He stands approximately 1,73 m (5’8") tall andweighs around 77 kg (179 lb). He has light coloured eyes, long darkbrown unkempt hair, thick eyebrows and a mustache. He spoke English. He was wearing jeans and a yellow sweater. There have been three other attacks committed in the neighborhood at the end of the summer, althoughtheywere less severe.________
this fraternity accepts students from all faculties at McGill. We do not screen new members, and anyone wishing to join is immediately accepted. Over the past eight months, we have welcomed 197 new members to our chapter (110 of whom are female students) from 7 different faculties across campus Ob viou sly, we don’t have any ‘exclusionary membership policies.’ We are recognized by the Medical Students’ Society, and are a SSMU Accredited Group. While one of our goals is to promote strong friendships and socializing among our members (which is the reason for our being named a fraternity), none of our meetings or activities are held behind closed doors, and we don’t even have a frat house. And if Mr. Stembergh, or any one else for thatmatter, does notbelieve us, just drop by our open meeting this Wednesday (2 pm at the Med Annex, 3708 Peel) and see for yourself.

Irrational... Few would dispute the statement that things between the IFC and the SSMU are at an impasse. The IFC’s rather modest request— in view of the fact that it represents 10% of McGill students—for ‘club status’ has been refused, or postponed through filibus tering, for so long that neither side is behaving very well. I was, however, disappointed by the Tribune's irra tionally vehement attacks on fraterni ties (Nov. 10-16), notably Adam S tembergh’s “IFC Y a” (Ground Zero). Unlike Mt. Stembergh, I will not venture to discuss things about which I know little. As a sorority member, I will respond to one of his comments specifically, and without his ownpethabitofpreachy generalization. “Frats and sororities,” he informs us (and I use that term loosely), “are ‘clubs ’ with exclusionary membership policies... [that] explicitly discriminate of the basis of gender, and implicitly discriminate on the basis of other more intangible but no less problematic so cial criteria,” Sororities were established in reaction to exclusionary university policies; they are women’s organisa tions, support groups for the tiny mi
nority of women who initially enrolled in universities in the last century. A glance at the facts reveals that many of the ‘greek’ organisations who have chapters at McGill were founded at a time when minorities, such as Jews and women, first had a legal right to study in universities. These social groups, who embraced the ideals of classical learning (surely such idealism cannot be “offensive to actual Greek people,” as Mr. Stembergh suggests), were established to affirm their right to a place at such institutions and to make their existence in a hostile milieu more bearable. In a world where violence against women has reached epidemic proportions, such a support group is more needed than ever. The surprising (to some) number of sorority members “minoring”in women’s studies reflects this. I would like to reiterate that my claims are as accurate as they are spe cific. A welcome skimming of the surface by any McGill newspaper will reveal the facts. I intend no defence of the behaviour of individual members of the IFC. Nor, I believe, would the many sorority members who are ac tively involved in Walksafe, and the many other women’s rights issues that were on the General Assem bly’s agenda. Nevertheless, incidents like this all too regularly unleash naive, uninformed frat-bashing, which I was honestly disappointed to find in the Tribune. Sororities, contrary to Mr. Sternbergh’s assertions, are not “cliques with names”. They actively seek out new members in two formal and two informal “rush” periods per academic year, with no “implicit discriminations” at all, to my knowl edge. I can only assume that Mr. Stembergh means us to understand religious or racial discrimination by this term. If he had taken any trouble at all to verify this claim, he would never have made it. Certainly, the newly es tablished club for “Women of Colour” at McGill is far more exclusive than the IFC, which offers clubs for male and female students at McGill, and is only as gender-segregated as McGill’s athletic teams. The only qualification for membership is enrollment at McGill. Even this rule, dare I admit it, I have observed to have been bent.

The myth of the “starv ing student” may be dissipat ing quickly. According to a recent Tribune poll, in which 195 students were surveyed on their economic status, more than half of the re spondents belong to the middle-to-upper class sector, as their parents' annual income is over $70,000. With its recent tuition fee increases, it seems as though McGill can no longer attract the underfunded. However, as the poll shows, parental income is not the main factor where student fi nances are concerned. According to the poll, while some students are liv ing near the poverty level, others work to be self-suffi cient. Over one-third of all respondents hold a job dur ing the school year. In addi tion, parents contribute only 16 per cent more than their children toward educational fees, and almost 40 per cent
less toward spending money. As for the subsidization of living costs, the student to parent ratio is close to even. While proportionally more stu dents living off-campus hold a job, the highest percentage of workers are those who live at home, proving that there is no such thing as a “free meal.” A large number of those polled reported their living expenses and spending money to be in the low to median income brackets. Indeed, there is more similarity between the $25-35,000 and the over$70,000 brackets than between any other group. Both receive a similar amount of assistance from their parents and the government. However, the two groups differ in one area: less than 20 per cent of those polled in the $70,000-and-over bracket have a job. Parental income also ap pears to have little bearing on whether students receive scholarships, although it does affect those who apply for loans. The largest group re
ceiving government assistance has a combined parental in come of under $25,000 a year. The money that students do have is easily spent, with the largest sums going to food, entertainment and various forms of m ind-altering stimuli. Savings, on the other hand, represents only 6 per cent of all funds. Along those lines, the poll’s final and optional ques tion asked students how it would be possible to live more cheaply. The most popular suggestions included photo copying textbooks, starving, packing lunches, getting rid of credit cards, purchasing a bike, and cutting down on smoking and electricity. The most definitive an swer, however, came from a student who quoted Theodore Roosevelt: “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

____________________F e a t u r e s ____________________ Are w om en losin g ground? Francine P elletier speaks BY LIZZIE SAUNDERSON R eporter, ed ito r and w riter Francine Pelletier often addresses the social,political and economicequality of women. Almost co-existent with that topic is her interest in issues unique to Quebec. Credited with writing a weekly column for La Presse and reporting on CBC’s Momingside, the editor of the feminist magazine La Vie en Rose also participates on CTV’s Sunday Edition cross-country panel, where she discusses weekly political events. InApril ofl990, Pelletier received the Media Woman of the Year award. Last Thurs day,Pelletieraddressed the issue of “Women in Quebec Society Today” in an open forum sponsored by the Alumnae Society of McGill and The McGill Centre for Research and Teach ing on Women. She identified the reper cussions of the feminist movement as “momentous and frightening,” as re sentment towards women’s liberation rapidly rises. This has led to a lack of communication between the sexes, and an increasing reliance on morals (rather than reality) under the impression that women have overcome. Consequently, despite the tremendous progress made by women since the 1960’s, it appears as though they are losing ground.
Pelletier began her address by contrasting the young women of the sixties to the women of today. She noted that women of the nineties appear to have more direction than the women o f her generation, for whom the cards, luckily, fell into place. When the feminist move ment gained momentum in the sixties, Pelletier asserted, it changed the course of history. The parallel between the evolu tion o f women and that of Quebec was, for the speaker, momentous. “They are one and the same,” she affirmed. Her reference to the once "priest-ridden” Quebec of only 30 years ago, where education was available to few, and sex was solely for procreation, is indicative of the radical transformation society has undergone. This “radical transformation,” however, bears terrifying aspects. One such example was represented by the killing of 14 women at the University of Montreal only three years ago. Pelletier posed the question: “What went wrong?” While such an act, she assented, was that of a crazed individual, it remained an indication of the resentment towards the women’s movement. She cited as a fur ther example the recent death threats received by women at Carleton Univer sity in Ottawa.
“The problem is not that men dis like the idea of a complete active and affirmative woman, they do. But having become equals, men- not all but perhaps more than you think- lost their handle on their relationship with women.” Pelletier then explained how fe male independence is apparently a dou ble-edged sword. Women no longer wait to be married so as to acquire the identity of wife and mother, a situation that con firms the guarantee of communication with the opposite sex. She remarked that such communication no longer exists. Not knowing how to relate to each other, she added, is the cost of women’s libera tion. “Sexual roles are aflutter.” Women have developed mascu linity in order to compete in the workplace, and yet this approach may not be appro priate in the home. According to Pelletier, men and women play complementary roles. By virtue o f the fact that women are becom ing masculinized, men have become dis contented. Women who have success fully maintained high status positions via the corporate ladder comment that men often neglect to invite them to the board meetings- not for reasons of ill will- but simply because men have a problem see ing women attend the meetings. “It’s as if women don’t have the same density
[presence] as men.” They are, therefore, made invis ible. Pelletier concluded by stating that women are losing ground by presum ing that the struggle for equality is over. “Young women are the first to de clare it over, as they have yet to experience the in equality prevalent in the ‘real world’”. In an interview im m ediately follow ing the presentation, Pelletier told the Tribune that another part o f the problem is that young women in particular deny that a problem exists. Fur thermore, they fear a sepa ration of the sexes. The an swer lies, she added, not in separation, but in union in the form of a mixed move ment. “Young women need to make it hip again!” The stigma (or perS e a r c h i n g f o r y o u n g f e m in i s t s . haps, apathy) associated with femi nism and today’s youth was apparent in feminists lingered within the auditorium the audience, which consisted entirely of long after she had finished speaking: persons ranging in age from 30-60. “Keep doing it!” Unfortunately there Francine Pelletier’s advice to young were no young feminists present to hear.
C e n tr a id e /U n ite d W a y c o m e s to s tu d e n t c o m m u n ity fo r th e f ir s t t im e BY JACKIE GAKROW On November 27 th, students will be asked to literally “put aloonie on the line” for Centraide/United Way, creating a chain of loonies from the Roddick Gates to James McGill’s grave facing the Arts Building. McGill ’s Centraide/United Way committee has recently launched a$180,000campaign, and U3 Engineering student Jason Forester is part of the student group helping the campaign achieve its goals. Forester is hoping that seven of the ten thousand dollars that Centraide/United Way expects to receive from the student body will be brought in by the line, which will cover a distance of 700 feet His hopes should be realized if the lineisas successful as therestofthe campaign has thus far been. As of November 11, the drive had reached $118,000, raised prima rily from on-campus bake sales and dona tions from faculty and administrative staff members. Katherine Jerds, hired by McGill to run the campaign, asserted that the McGill students will be asked to make a contribu tion as well. Centraide/United Way has set up booths around campus and left donation boxes in libraries in the hopes that students will give them a few dollars. Other innova tions have been introduced to encourage donations. “This year we have developed a designation program so that students can allocate their donation to a Ccntraide sup ported agency of their choice,” Jerols ex plained. She added that these200associated agencies include frontline emergency as sistance programs, women’s shelters, and agencies devoted to aiding the elderly, the disabled, andthefinanciallydisadvanlaged. This is the first time that the McGill Centraide/United Way has looked beyond McGill’s staff and faculty and asked for the

students’ participation. “It is hoped that this year will set a precedent for years to come,” said Jerols. She also stressed that students could also contribute by donating their time as volun teers. JenniferFalconer, aU3 Arts student, oneofthe few student volunteers who helped at bake sales and booths, heard about the campaign at the volunteer symposium held in September. “This campaign is not all about
money,” said Falconer. “More than any thing, in this first year, we hope to create an awareness amongst students about the needs of the wider Montreal community and the role that Centraide plays in meeting these needs.” Armande Saida, manager of the Staffing and Organizational Development Department of Human Resources, who is helping Jerds manage the campaign, fur ther explained why students should partici pate. “It is vital for students to recognize their university as an important part of the larger Montreal picture,” he noted. “Stu
SW
dents at McGill, whether from out of prov ince or not, as part of a highly advantaged group, owe something to their community beyond the campus walls.” When asked if Centraide/United Way’s fundraising efforts have overshad owed the efforts of smaller specific Stu dents’ Society (SSMU) organizations de voted to similar causes, the answer was an emphatic no. Jerols asserted that Centraide/ United Way is the only campaign officially endorsed by McGill. She explained that various SSMU organizations have received a letter requesting a donation on behalf of their society and many of them have re

Women in Academia: How much have things changed? BY H E ID I RUBIN In May 1991, the Committee on Employment Equity for Women at McGill filed a diagnostic report on the status of female academics. “Equality in employment will not happen unless we make it happen,” wrote Judge Rosalie Abella in the opening state ment Following this precedent, the university has since instituted numer ous policies to increase the proportion o f women faculty members. Accord ing to Education professor Margaret Gillett, however,’’there is still a long way to go.” McGill Employment Equity Coordinator Honora Shaughnessy said that female faculty members often feel “underrepresented and isolated,” but since an Equity program was in stituted five years ago, their numbers have increased in many faculties. “McGill is committed to im proving representation o f women and otherminorities,” she asserted. “There could have been more pro-active re cruitment of women in the past, but at least we are making more of an effort now,” she added. The numbers bear her out: from 1989 to 1991, the hiring of females for professorial positions in the Faculty of Arts rose from 19.9 per cent to 25.6 per cent. Departments arc urged to widen
their pool of candidates by develop ing their own hiring processes. Appli cations belonging to eligible recruits are submitted to the Dean, who then makes the final cut. All decisions are presented to the Joint Senate Board on Equity, and departments have to keep records of their searches. Education professor Margaret Gillett, a faculty member for 28 years, said she felt like “part o f the fabric of McGill”. She agreed that the numbers of women have risen, but not their ratio to men. “When I started teaching at McGill, the proportion wasn’t sig nificantly different.” Dean o f Engineering Pierre Belanger emphasized the changes within his faculty. He pointed out that McGill boasts the second highest number of female engineering profes sors in Canada, a rise from two to seven in three years. He saw this as “a pretty good record.” “We are taking measures be yond what we are asked to do,” stated Belanger. “If there is a woman on the list of the ten best candidates, she automatically gets an interview.” Associate Dean o f Arts Jagdish Handa, would agree to give only “casual impressions.” He attributed the discrepancy between the propor tion of female professors and the pro portion of women in society to the lower number o f women getting
Ph.Ds. “W e hire the best candidate available, and if the hiring was fair, then we must ask if there was an adequate supply,” he observed. “Ph.Ds take too long. Women often have other agendas” agreed Belanger. The solution, he explained, is to lessen the duration of the Ph.D. and Masters programs so that women have a chance to combine families and jobs. Shaughnessy concurred. “McGill needs policies to accommo date women on the career track.” She cited the phenomenon of what she termed “tenure-induced ste rility”; the difficulty of raising a fam ily while preparing a dossier for ten ure, which is a deterrent for many women pursuing a Ph.D. Gillett suggested that McGill could be making more positive at tempts to advance women and sup port them, to make them feel like they are taken seriously, without pamper ing them. What is needed, according to Gillet, is reassurance from the ad ministration to help prevent feelings of loneliness and isolation. “McGill needs affirmative ac tion policies to break the hold of tradi tion,” she confirmed. “As I near re tirement, I’m glad that there is an enthusiastic number of women to take over the battle.”

True test of No means No law w ill take place in court B Y A P R IL W IL SO N -L A N G E The W estern Gazette
Three months after Bill C-49, commonly known as the ‘No means N o ’ bill, became law, Canadians are waiting to see how the courts and assault victims will react. Western lawprofessor Winnie Holland said the effectiveness of the law depends on the courts. “That’s something you can only tell through experience,” she noted. “You can’t look at legislation and say it looks like an effective filter. How it pans out in practice is going to be very important.”
Holland expects the amend ments made to the original draft of Bill C-49 will be challenged “There is no question the law is going to be challenged again,” she said. “I suspect even in the face o f a challenge the law will be upheld because there’s a real reason for it.” In its original and present forms, Bill C-49 states a women’s sexual past cannot be presented in a trial unless it is relevant to the case. Catherine Kain, legal counsel for the federal government’s Criminal law policy section, said that only a pro vincial court judge or justice can decide if a woman’s sexual history is relevant.

Two other controversial points were included in the bill’s original form. The accused must take all “reasonable” steps to ensure some one has consented to sex and no consent can be obtained when “the complainant is incapable o f con senting to the activity by reason of intoxication or other condition”. After heated debates, Bill C49 was included on August 15 in the Criminal Code. “All reasonable steps” was changed to “reasonable” steps”, and the reference to the in toxication o f the plaintiff became “it is not a defense that the accused b eliev ed the com plainant co n sented.” Kain said these changes were made to the most controversial parts of Bill C -49’s original text. Other changes were mainly clarifications. Holland said she believes the backlash to Bill C 49 began with the assumption that people like to make allegations o f sexual assault and therefore the legal system must be airtight. “People think al 1these women out there are desperate to make these allegations, and I don’t think that’s that case at all,” she said. “Most women don’t report rapes. They’re afraid of being “re-victimized” by the system. They feel guilty about
what happened— they feel dirty about it. They don’t want to go through the whole thing again.” Holland said the ‘No means No ’ law is an attempt to make assault victims feel better.”But I think this distrust o f the system is still deeply ingrained,” she added. Daniella Dimitrov, a Univer sity o f Windsor law student, agreed many women have no confidence in the Canadian legal system. But she said she hopes more women will lay charges against their assaulters now that they have more protection in the No means No law. This measure is meant to ad dress the hole left in the Criminal Code by the removal o f the rapeshield law. For years, that provision (placed in 1983 in the Criminal Code), prevented lawyers from bringing up a woman’s sexual past in a rape trial. The Supreme Court made provisions for the courts to follow when the rape-shield law was re moved. “But there were many things still unresolved,” Kain said. ‘T he new law added direction forjudges. The new law gives examples.” Even though the Supreme Court laid down these provisions to ensure the courts would not revert to
old common-law practice, women’s distrust o f the justice system was enhanced. “Striking down the rape-shield was a breach o f trust for women”, said Charissage. In response to these concerns, Federal J u stice M in ister K im Campbell introduced Bill C-49. Campbell discussed the bill in a se ries o f meetings with a coalition o f about 60 women’s groups, the pro vincial government, non-govem mental organizations and the bar, Kain said. But G wendloyn Landolt, vicepresident o f REAL W om en o f Canada, disagrees with the law. “The original legislation is a despise-men agreementand in many ways it still is,” she claimed. “The onus is on the accused to prove his innocence. Men are guilty until proven innocent.” Holland said she believes it is not wrong to put an onus on people to establish their innocence. “If men have to take all the steps, it just readdresses the balance, where I think it’s been too much the other way,” she said. “I always thought the balance was swung too much in favour of the accused in these situations.”

This is an excerpt from an interview, conducted in The Al ley. Itfeatures Chris Brown and Jason Mercer- organist and bass player (respectively)for theBour bon. The day after a gig at Café Campus they agreed to come and talk a little bit about life and the Bourbon. Tribune: So what should we talk about? C hris Brow n: A thing we should establish is that w e have a new album out called Superior
Cackling Hen. T ribune: Superior what? C.B.: Cackling. Tribune: And who came up with this name? Jason M ercer: Well it was Andrew’s idea originally. Tribune: What is it a refer ence to, exactly? C.B.: It’s fromaJimi Hendrix song Third Song From The Sun. He might have been talking abou t a woman but I think that we im proved the image to mean hu mans and I think that’s what he was getting at. There’s some line in the song where h e ’s says “ya I ’ve been to earth and seen your majestic superior cackling hens”. So it’s just about humans cack ling at each other. It’s just some more cackling from som e hens. Tribune: Did he understand the hens when he came? J.M .: W ell the image is re ally guite surreal, quite out there.
C.B.: But we just embraced the image because Hendrix is a big guy for us and... T ribune: You embraced the image... C.B.: W ell, also there was this guy. One time when I was busking in W ashington Square Park in N ew York there was this man who came up and started grooving. He was wearing a posties hat... T ribune: W hat’s a posties hat? C.B.: Like a postal hat. J.M .: Like a policem an’s hat. T ribune: Ok, ok... C.B.: I think it was a postal worker’s hat and he had abeak on and big glasses and long white hair and he was on a bike-and he came down and started dancing and so he sorta became the supe rior cackling hen. Tribune: H ehadabeakeven. J.M .: Actually I took a photo o f him. C.B.: This is sort o f prior to the conception o f the idea. J.M .: Ya, and w e were look ing at this photo o f him. His head is back and h e’s laughing out loud like... Tribune: Cackling. C.B.: Cackling. J.M .: Cackling and looking upward towards the sky. It’s re ally quite a good shot. Kate [the lead fem ale vocalist] used it as part o f her collage. T ribune: In the sun. J .M .:In th e sun. H e’s right in the middle.
T ribune: I ’ll look again at the album cover. J.M .: If you look at the inside o f the album there’s a picture of Chris busking and h e ’s there. C.B: Actually h e’s just be com e representative o f all hu manity for us. Tribune: H e’s the superior cackling hen. C.B.: Som ehow the music was getting through to him and he was responding to it, you know. So there was this great communi cation going. T r ib u n e : W h a t’s your favorite tune on the album. Do you have a particular favorite? J.M .: I do. It’s a sw eet ballad by our little man Chris Brown called YouCan ComeFromHere. Tribune: W hat’s it about? C .B.: Okay, you want to know what it’s about? It’s about the fact that I believe that what scares people more that running from something is having nothing to run to. That’s sort o f what it’s about. Tribune: D o you make sug gestions about what kind o f things people do run to or should run to? C .B.: W ell the title 'you can run from here’. It’s an extension o f protection, or something like that. Tribune: Y ou’re giving them something to run to. C.B.: It sounds really corny when you say me personally. But when you hear die song y o u ’ll understand what I mean. One time I was siting around with
T h e B o u r b o n c o o p h a t c h e d a S u p e r i o r C a c k lin g H e n
Gordie Johnson [from Big Sugar] and w e were writing this really stupid country song. And the last line we had w a s‘‘I’ll start coming from somewhere else baby, you can come from here”. Then I went to bed and a woke up and that line- I thought ya, that’s worth something. Tribune: W ell, what is it that
you want? What is the point? C .B .: The point is to continue making music and everything else that you enjoy doing. J.M .: Being creative. C.B.: If you’re doing som e thing life affirming then you ’re saying yes then that’s enough, that’s the point.

The swiftness o f time’s pas sage in Sofie (Liv Ullmann’s di rectorial debut) is as familiar as memory. Winner o f the Grand Jury Prize M ost Popular Film Award at the Montreal World Film Festival 1992, the lauds for Sofie are deservedly capitalized. From an upper storey win dow Sofie Philipsen (Karen-Lise Mynster) watches her parents leave their house in Copenhagen every morning at 8:30. She retires to the living room and dances by herself. Every Sabbath her family celebrates first at the synagogue and then at grandmother’s where traditional bread and drippings have been prepared by three maiden aunts. For Sofie, the routine o f fam ily life in the late 19th century is
comfort and constriction. The 28 years she has spent at home have been a preparation for a life yet to be lived. An invitation is received for aparty at wealthy Uncle Fredrick’s and routine changes. Sofie wears a sleeveless red dress covering her shoulders with a lace shawl. Under the disapproving eyes of her mother she takes the shawl off, and attracts the best attentions of painter Hans Hojby. At this point her life begins to be lived. H ojby is charm ed by her countenance. He reveals that it is his dream to capture what he con siders the essence o f Judaism; “in finity” and requests to paint a por trait o f her parents. Sitting in the studio, Semmy and Frederikka Philipsen (Erland Josephsen and Ghita Norby) are asked by Hojby for expressions of
“serenity and mental econom y”. The resulting portrait moves Sofie to tears. In a single afternoon, Hojby’s observation o f her par ents has captured them as Sofie had before. She has spent her live merely observing. A lthough H ojby m oves Sofie’s passions, he is a goy and she must dispell any thought o f a life with him. Her family arranges her marriage to Jonas Philipsen (Torben Zeller) a drapery sales man. Sofie leaves Denmark for Sweden with Jonas. Her passion less marriage deteriorates into a union o f isolation. The birth o f her son Aron gives S ofie’s life necessary defi nition. She vows to give Aron freedom that she had been denied. Nothing curtains the senti mentality. However, such a voy age of self-discovery is measured
with dreams which outweigh re ality. Spanning 25 years of Sofie’s life, the film has been billed incor rectly as a love story between Sofie and Jonas. Inapropriately echoing Steven Stills, the posters read “If you can’t be with the one you love, how do you love the one you live with?” It could not be further from the truth. W ith D ickensian detail, Ullman has retold Great Expecta tions. The naive Sofie is Pip. She is enticed to leave home with promise o f renewed opportunity. The maiden aunts in a fairy tale trio are Miss Havishams with con sciences, forced to live romantic lives vicariously through Sofie. Hojby is the bewitching Estella. Ultimately, unlike Pip, Sofie must reconcile herself to an autono mous existence.
The story is absorbing and long. Anyone able to concentrate on a film for longer than two hours; i.e. those insulted by the brouhaha over the length o f Best Intentions or MalcolmX., will appreciate the gentle crafting o f this saga. Sofie is replete with toler able metaphors: those who watch life from windows stifle and die. It is impossible not to mention the hints o f Ingmar Bergman which are evident in the edited transi tions from stasis to violence in which the ebb o f personal history is felt. G iv en U llm a n n ’s competence, she has been on the other side o f the camera for too long. Sofie rates an 8 out of 10.

D r a c u la : tw o f a n g s h ig h o n a f u ll n e c k BY PATRICK G LADNEY After months of nervous an ticipation awaiting the release of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the possi bility of disappointment was very real. After all, it has been over 12 years since Frances Ford Coppola last fulfilled his potential to create not just a movie, or a film, but a spectacle. He finally delivers with Dracula, erotic, dramatic, and al m ost overdone treatment o f the original novel, written in 1897. The story quickly spans cen turies. The prologue takes place in tenth century Transalvania when Vlad the Impaler (Gary Oldman) renounces God as a result of the suicide o f his true love, Elisabeta (W inona Ryder). Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) seeks to recoup his loss in nineteenth century London with the abduction o f Miss Mina Murray (Winona Ryder,) Of course, Mina will not be taken without a fight, Dracula has to do battle with her present day fiancé/husband
Jonathan Harking (Keanu Reeves,) Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins,) and Dr. Jack Seward (Richard E. Grant) amongst others. The opening scene in London features Reeves who, as he seemingly reads his lines from a cue card, threatenes to bring the film to its knees. Thankfully, the audience is spared as Reeves is more or less brushed aside in favor o f Oldman and Hopkins, who deliver excellent performances, although some o f their lines are absolutely incomprehensi b le. Indeed, O ldm an is m o st locquacious in Romanian. The cast is obviously designed to attract an audience who might not otherwise be interested in the film, namely younger viewers. After be ing subjected to vampire films such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and numerous others in recent years w h ich take a m uch m ore “light-hearted” approach to the treatment o f vampires, the young ones might not have been as attracted to what is being billed a classical

in the nation in a poll taken just before the conference chamionships, fulfilled their reputation by winning the West ern title. But McGill, ranked third in the same poll, came through on Satur day with a 1-0 win and advanced to the gold medal game for the second con secutive year. Heidi Bloomfield gave McGill the win in the 65th minute of the game when she slid the ball between the legs of All-Canadian goalie Katheryn Sutton.

Noble, a political science Masters student, was also named to the CIAU first All-Canadian Team and was chosen as McGill’s most valuable player in the championship game.

Redm en R ugby ham m er H a r v a r d to c a p t u r e Covo C u p B Y G E O R G E IR U Two weeks ago, McGill Rugby brought home the O’Neill Cup. Last Saturday, they struck gold again, de feating Harvard 14-8 to recapture the Covo Cup, winning once again in North America’s oldest intercollegi ate rivalry. It was 127 years ago that McGill and Harvard first faced off against each other on the rugby field, and since that time, the two schools have placed much importance on the an nual game. On the weekend, the Redmen, many playing in their final game for McGill, put together a sterling team effort in the decisive victory. “We took it to them from the opening whistle,” said winger Jep Stuchberry, whose arresting per formance buoyed the McGill attack. “We knew we could win it, down to our last man.” Stuchberry scored midway through the first half in the midst of a Harvard drive, diving through the backs on his soon-to-be patented read, to steal the ball mid-air, and return the ball 70 yards for the game’s first try. The conversion was made by gradu ating fly-half George Hobson. The Redmen neutralized the strong Crimson back attack with their successful season-long recipe of vi cious rucking and tremendous tack ling. The Redmen were led in the backs by centers Dave Laurie, and Rob Buffam, both capping off their McGill rugby careers with one final outstanding game. “They were going nowhere— all gam e,” enthused Laurie and Buffam afterwards, referring to the futile attempts of the Harvard centers
to crash through the back line. “Harvard was never able to gain any momentum against us,” said winger Uri Camat. “We shut them down on every play.” The second half was more of the same. Graduating number eight, Kibben Von Finklestein, whose per formance has been a crutch for the McGill pack over the last four years, scored to put the game away midway through the second. A strong run by Jep Stuchberry, followed by a goal line set-up by Dom Schofield and M ichael Jackson, set up Von Finklestein’s try. The conversion was again made by George Hobson to make the score 14-3. “If there was a shred o f doubt in anyone’s mind, it was dispelled with Kibben's try,” said lock Sam Lupton, who stuck his neck out for his teammates once too often and was forced to leave the game with strained neck muscles. McGill continued to pour the pressure on until the final whistle sounded, with Harvard driving the ball in for a try late in the game to make the final score 14-8. McGill coach Stephen Penner who often bailed the team out during the year, issued a statement on the match. “In a game which saw many breaks go Harvard’s way, we stood our ground defensively, and in a total team effort, took advantage of our opportunities, beating them to the rucks and mauls, and scoring when we had to.” The game saw the final per formances for many of the First XV. The list of graduating players includes Laurie, Buffam, Von Finklestein, second rows Lenny Arbuckle and
Jason Duncan, prop Charlie Kime, and lock Mark Ridley. Harvard coach Harold Comhol, whose team receives $ 10,000per year from Harvard, was struck by the dedi cation o f the McGill squad, which receives no financial support from the university. “These guys pay out of their own pockets to come down here, and then give a clinic on the fundamentals of the game,” commented Comhol. “W e’ll definitely be going over the tapes o f this game as something to build, on for next year.”

Sw im team tak es on Yale and Can-Am C hallenge BY PAM ELA T R A V E R S The McGill Swim team split in two last weekend, sending one contin gent of swimmers to New Haven, Ct. to takeon the Y ale Bulldogs and another to Sherbrooke to compete in the Can-Am Challenge. Although hampered by their comparatively small squad of swimmers at each meet, both McGill teams swam to impres sive finishes. “We performed better than I had anticipated in both meets particularly as a result of the incredible perform ances of Paul Watson at the Can-Am Challenge and Andrea Nugent at Yale,” stated coach Francois Laurin. Confronted by the superiority complex of the Yale team, Nugent managed to gain respect for the McGill team, breaking pool records in both the
50m and 100m freestyle events and finishing first in thelOOm butterfly. “Although Yale tended to dominate the distance events,” said Nugent. “McGill performed impres sively in the sprinting events, finishing in the top three in nearly every one, mellowing Y ale’s initial superior cockiness,” noted Nugent. Eric Potier’s and Leanne Shapton’s first place finishes in the 100m breastroke and Craig Perfect’s first place swim in the 50m freestyle, added to McGill’s impressive showing against the first division NCAA team from Yale. The Can-Am Challenge in Sherbrooke is one of the largest meets of the season and includes many teams from both central and eastern Canada. The thundering backstroke of Paul Watson dominated the 100m and 200m
backstroke events. “I expected a tougher competi tion particularly at this point in the season,” said Watson, unbeaten this season in both the 100m and 200m backstroke events. “We’ve been performing really well up to now so, hopefully, as a full team all shaved and tapered, all the hard work of the past few weeks will really pay off at the OUA As next week,” said assistant coach Chris Lambert. “This is the meet w e’ve been gearing towards all term, so I expect we’ll come out psyched and primed for a really impressive showing.” McGill concludes its first se mester schedule of meets this weekend in Toronto, where it will be competing in the OUAA Invitational against teams from Western, Queen’s, Laurier and other Ontario powerhouse squads.

M a r t le t B a s k e t b a ll o n t h e r is e B Y R IC K E V A N S The McGill womens’ basket ball team will undoubtedly produce some excitement this year. The team has already racked up six wins against only one loss, including its per formance at last weekend’s 21st annual Concordia N ike C lassic Tournament. Coming off a championship inDalhousie’s tournament the previ ous weekend, the Martlets were looking to continue their winning ways against a strong field that in cluded St. Mary’s, Queen’s, Water loo, Dalhousie, Concordia, and two perennial basketball pow ers, Laurentian and Winnipeg. McGill played the first game o f the tournament last Friday after noon, against the team from St. Mary’s University. The Huskies p layed hard, but were clearly overmatched in M cG ill’s 66-37 victory. The leading scorer for the Martlets was veteran Jane Ross with 13 points, followed closely by teammates Vicky Tessier and Martina van der Vlist with 12 each. That win brought them face to face with Winnipeg University on Saturday, in a game that was clearly the climax of the tournament for McGill. Winnipeg is a national topfive team which has done very well
at the nationals the past couple of years. The winning team would pro ceed to the gold medal match, with the loser heading to the bronze medal pairing. The intensity level of the game was very high with nothing larger than a four point margin for either team throughout the first 20 minutes. Eventually, however, about five minutes into the second half, Winni peg began to pull away and was able to close out the game 86-67. Winni peg then went on to beat Laurentian in a 70-69 thriller Sunday to win the tournament. Coach Chris Hunter put a positive spin on M cGill’s first loss of the season. “It was a good game for us, for our development. This game was a barometer for measuring our selves as a team.” Despite the loss, the game was certainly another brilliant showing for McGill’s outstanding rookie for ward Vicky Tessier, who dominated the boards en route to a game-high 27 points, including 15 for 19 from the free throw line. “W e’ve shown we can play with the best for about 25 minutes, but it becomes a matter o f mental discipline. W e’re notquite there yet,” observed van der Vlist. For the first 20 minutes in the bronze m edal gam e against Concordia, it appeared as though his
team would belie his words with their intense performance, opening up a dominating 40-22 lead over Concordia by halftime. However, in the second half, a resilient Stinger team began to scratch back (liter ally), and the effects of hav ing played six games in the past ten days started to show in the faces o f the Martlets. In the true spirit o f champi ons though, the women dug deep and held the Stingers at bay for a convincing 7157 victory, and the bronze medal. “They [Concordia] would keep building on our mistakes, gaining energy from our errors. It wasn’t an easy win,” explained a tired van der Vlist follow ing the game. “We had it our way in the first half, and then the tiredness began to show,” agreed Coach Hunter. M ê la n t e

Once again, Vicky Tessier paced her team in scoring with 19 points, earning a spot on the tourna ment all-star team, her second major tournament award in as many weeks. The Martlets now have a
Men’s hockey split last week end’s games, losing to the University of Toronto 3-1 on Friday night, then down ing another T.O.-based team, the York Yeomen 6-3 on Saturday. Toronto arrived in Montreal in first place in the OUAA East and, the team which knocked McGill out of the playoffs last year, opened the scoring with a power play marker at 16:02ofthe first period. The game remained close throughout the second with no scoring. The Redmen squandered numerous powerplay opportunities, while the best chance of the frame came when a To ronto drive dented the left post behind goaltender Paulo Miguel. Both teams seemed more concerned with firing pucks at innocent fans than putting them past the keepers. McGill’s anemic power play fi nally managed to tie it in the third period when centre Guy Boucher one-timed a
David Vecchio feed home, but the Varsity Blues snatched the lead once again off of a defensive-zone giveaway. The Redmen made a frantic attempt to tie the game in the dying moments, but the decision to pull Miguel for the extra attacker resulted only in an empty-net tally for Toronto. The loss was the fourth in a row for the Redmen. "We had to get back to basics, which is something you have to do when you get your nose shoved in your face 14 times,” said coach Jean Pronovost, re ferring to a 14-3 loss at Yale the week end before. Perhaps the coach’s strategy paid off as the Redmen came back on Satur day to beat York. McGill captain Marc Vigneault got the Redmen on the board just 27 seconds into the contest and Todd Marcellus added his first of two shortly afterward. However, it was early in the second period with McGill up 31 that the McConnell Arena roof caved in. York dominated the period, scoring
two goals, oneof which was shorthanded, and outshot the Redmen 14-3. Only the stellar play of starting keeper Patrick Jeanson allowed McGill to head into the third period with the score tied at 3-3. “All of us slowed down in the second period,” said the brick-wall goaltender. “But we came out with in tensity in the third.” That they did. David Vecchio and Todd Marcellus scored within 32 seconds of each other and Jim Reynolds rounded ou t the scorin g to make it 6-3 in a period marked by two teams who tried to re-enact the Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield heavyweight bout the night before. The series of scuffles was then followed by a York player hurling his helmet at a McGill fan. The important thing for our lads, however, was getting the two points and climbing back to the .500 level in regular season play. McGill’s next test comes tonight as they travel to Trois Rivières and attempt to dismantle some of UQTR’s Patriote missies.

The M cGill Tribune, November 17-23,1992
BY A N D R E W R O S S Last week, McGill Redmen soc cer captain Chris Drysdale, the Quebec University Soccer League’s (QUSL) Most Valuable Player, was selected to the CI AU first All-Star team. In a recent interview with the Tribune, Drysdale discussed both personal and team suc-
Tribune: Coach [Claudio] Sandrin said that your leadership abili ties as captain, and obviously your skill, are your main contributions to the team. How do you see your role? Chris Drysdale: This year it changed a lot because we had a young team. Last year 1 was captain but the guys were more experienced, so my leadership was mainly on the field. This year’s team had a hard time understand ing how hard it is to win our league. A team doesn’t win on skill alone and we didn ’t always have the intensity required. So we talked a lot in practice and in games to get that intensity up. Tribune: How did you feel about sometimes playing up at mid-field or
even striker this season, away from your usual sweeper position? C.D.: 1 played up a bit last year, to fill in gaps. But this year’s team was never really settled in terms of posi tions, because of rookies and injuries. Tribune: This season the QUSL was a very competitive league. Are you satisfied with the Redmen performance? C.D.: We’re never really satis fied unless we win theprovincials. When you win 12 of 13 [QUSL titles], it’s expected that you should win. No one likes losing. I feel for some of the guys who are in their last year (regarding McGill’s loss in the provincial finals to Concordia two weeks ago). Tribune: Considering the large rookie contingent this year, how do you see the team’s chances next season? C.D.: It will definitely help hav ing so many experienced players. Next year we’ll get back the intensity. Losing is a hard way to learn. Tribune: You reside in Wash ington, D.C. and I’m sure you had a lot of scholarship opportunities closer to home. Why did you choose McGill? C.D.: I played with a pretty good
team in Bethesda, Maryland, that won state [championships] a few times, and some of my friends got scholarships. But it took up a lot of their time and they felt that they owed the school. For me it was school first, soccer second, and I didn’t see that in the U.S. My brother and sister both came to McGill and they had good things to say, except for the weather. I also wanted to see Canada because I’m Canadian but I’ve never had the chance to live here. (Born in Peru, Drysdale has lived in Mexico, Nigeria and the US). Tribune: You’re in third year electrical engineering. What sacrifices do you have to make to keep up with school and practice with the team? C.D.: Well, it’s a really good thing that the season ends in November. We practice every day with the occa sional day off after games. The team also hangs out a lot together. Soccer’s a good release from schoolwork, but like I said, it’s a good thing the season ends so I can get back to work. Tribune: What are your career plans? C.D.: I’d like to go into medi-

cine. I don’tknow if I wantto bea doctor but I’m interested in biomedical research - artificial organs and limbs. Tribune: How do you feel about being named both MVP and to the first All-Star team? C.D.: I’m obviously very happy.

From the Martlets, defender Gayle Noble made the first AllCanadian team, while midfielder Julie Maughan was chosen for the second all-Canadian team.
