T h e m otion, sponsored by led icin e R ep David M cCaughey, Athletics R ep Ja m e s Stew art and trts Reps Liane T hom as and Corey Cooke, will b e presen ted to cou n|il at this Thursday’s m eeting.

SSMU voted to ce a se partici­ pation in its annual ShatnerC entre floo d drive b ecau se the question­ naire the CRC u ses to screen d o­ lors includes a question that SSMU determined discrim inated against lom o sexu als. A ccording to Secio n 2.3 o f the SSMU Constitution, tSMU can n o t associate itself with Organizations that discrim inate on te basis o f sexual orientation.

T h e m otion states in part îat “according to the CRC, the |isk o f contacting HIV from a transrsion, w h en the d on o r has had Protected (ie. u se o f a co n d o m ) le x with a gay m ale (1/2000) is 58 ]imes higher than from a d onor rat has had un protected sex with heterosexu al (1/ 115000).”

M cC aughey stated that he litiated the m otion o n b eh alf o f ie Medical Students’ Society (MSS) /hich b elieves that the CRC w as

n ot represented at the initial SSMU debate.

“First o f all, [SSMU] didn’t allow the Red Cross to exp ress its o p in ion ,” he said. “T h e MSS has passed a m otion stating that the questionnaire w as n ot discrim ina­ tory.”

B ut m em ­ b ers o f SSMU council and Les­ bians, Bisexuals and G ays o f M cGill (LBGM ) that voted in fa­ vour o f the No­ v em ber m otion

tion that the sponsors o f the m o­ tion hold.

“I think the issue w as so im portant that it w ould b e healthy to have it d eb ated tw ice," he said.

“I think the Red Cross has to b e given the b en efit o f the d oubt ________________ to m aintain the p u rity o f th e b loo d supply,” Stew art added.

“I d on’t believe [the CRC] are trying to d isc r i m i n a te against h om o­ sex u als.”

“P e o p l e are arguing that w e are trying to stop discrimina­ tion ... but the clea r cu t issue is a c o n s titu ­ tional question.

A s a n SSM U councillor, one w o u ld h o p e th a t [Stew art] w ould uphold that fo rem o st,” stated Carter.

SSMU President Mark Luz argued that the qu estion should b e forw arded to SSMU’s Ju d icial B oard in ord er to determ ine its constitutionality.

“It still is, a s it w as then, a qu estion o f constitutional inter­ p retation,” Luz said. “It’s su b jec­

“It’s weird to me that everyone would think the Red Cross is homophobic, or that they would willingly cut out 10 per cent of the population that can give blood without reason.”

w ere dism ayed th a t the issu e w a s a g a in o n the agenda.

“I t ’s an u n c o n s titu ­ tional m otion,” s a id S e n a te / B oard Rep Rich Latour. “They’re using statistics to b ack up their c la im , and LBGM has statistics to b a ck up theirs. [The motion] d oes n ot ad­ dress the issues involved.”

LBGM C o o rd in a to r Chris Carter w as up set by the n ew m o­ tion.

“It’s blatant h o m o p h o b ia,” Carter said.

Stew art exp lained the posi­

tive, but w hen y o u p u t th e q u e s tio n n a ir e a g a in s t th a t c o n s titu tio n a l c la u s e , d is ­ crim ination is a facto r in it.”

B u t Stewart said that stu d en ts w ere afraid to take a s ta n d th a t m ig h t a p p e a r hom ophobic.

“P e o p l e are le tt in g them selv es be g o v ern ed by e m o tio n , n o t reason.

Clubs Rep Farah Nazarali w as n o t surprised by the new m otion.

“I think it’s part o f a general b ack lash that has b e e n g oin g around the cam p u s,” sh e said.

G ardner Hall President and Inter R esidence Council (IRC) m em ber Eric H offstein has sent a letter to the Guy Chattier, G eneral M anager o f the Hotel Chateau Mont St-Anne, the hotel used by IRC during its annual Ski Trip in early January. The letter requests reim bursem ent for cleaning charges to certain room s in the hotel.

According to IRC President Sevag Y eghoyan, many students felt that they w ere unjustly charged fo r extra cleaning fo r their ro o m s.

In the letter, Hoffstein noted that som e students that w ere charged felt that their room s required only nom inal cleaning.

Y eghoyan rem arked that w hile many students had initially com e forth to com plain about the extra charge, only tw elve w ent through the process o f filing formal com plaints.

Y eghoyan also expressed dissatisfaction with the shuttle bus service that was made available to students. Matthew Marois, D irector o f Student Sales for Ski Fo 5 Seasons, the com pany through w hich IRC organized their ski trip, claim s to have explained to Y eghoyan that shuttle buses w ere only free during the day and for certain trips at night. Y eghoyan maintains, how ever, that IRC was under the im pression that all shuttle bus service w ould b e free.

Y eghoyan also claim ed that bus drivers took advantage o f the intoxication o f several students.

“Although the standard price was $1.25, if a student w as drunk the bus driver w ould ask for m ore. Som e students ended up paying as m uch as $3.00 for the ride,” said Yeghoyan.

N either Marois nor Chartier w ere available for com m ent.

In an attempt to reverse losses in revenue, the Marriott Corporation has proposed a series o f food and beverage price increases around campus. Marriott is contracted by Students’ Society (SSM U) to op erate fo od services around campus.

Food and beverage services w ere previously operated by Scott’s Food Services, w hich left its contract with SSMU in 1991. The contract was subsequently picked up by Marriott’s, w hich initially cut prices by 30 per cen t in an attem pt to entice custom ers. Unfortu­ nately, these price cuts did not generate exp ected profit levels.

Marriott’s contractual obligations require the corporation to pay SSMU either 11 per cent o f their profits or $350,000 p er year, w hichever is higher, regardless o f the McGill op eration’s overall profitability.

In order to reconcile their intake and the minimum guarantee with SSMU, Marriott’s has proposed to adjust certain food and beverage prices to their 1991 levels.

SSMU’s Food and Beverage Committee has voted to accep t Marriott’s price adjustments.

The final d ecision will be made at SSMU’s council m eeting this

For the first time since 1990, the Students’ Society (SSM1J) owned Sadie’s Tabagie has re­ versed its trend of losing money and turned a profit.

Though no figures have been released, SSMU VP Finance Paul Johnson has indicated that the Sadie’s at the Shatner Univer­ sity Centre and the Faculty of Law’s Chancellor Day Hall turned profits in the period from Sep­ tember to December 1993This turn-around in Sadie’s operations appears in stark con­ trast to the doubts which sur­ rounded Sadie’s future last fall.

In October, Sadie’s financial dif­ ficulties culminated in the con­ troversial suspension of its man­ ager Robert Werbin. In light of Werbin’s suspension, SSMU called an emergency session of council in which SSMU’s future connection with Sadie’s was con­ sidered.

Since 1990, Sadie’s has re­ quired subsidies from SSMU which have totalled $146,493- In order to plug this drain of funds, several members of the SSMU executive and the Financial Man­ agement Committee consider an informal proposal from the Marriott Corporation to take over

r e v e r s e s

the management of Sadie’s.

Marriott’s already operates food services on campus.

Though no decision has yet been made on the Marriott pro­ posal, Sadie’s has since operated in a partnership between SSMU and a managerial committee com­ posed of students employed at Sadie’s. According to Johnson,

egy which puts the operations in the hands of those who deal with it day to day,” he explained.

Since Werbin’s removal, SSMU and the students on the SMC have worked hand in hand in the supervision of Sadie’s op­ erations. Student employee and co-manager Mary-MargaretJones noted that although Werbin’s dis­

missal was unfortunate, it allowed the students to redefine their re­ lationship with SSMU. “Rob’s leaving caused a lot of problems but it also broke the power dynamic,” she observed.

Johnson asserted that the new relationship has allowed the students employed at Sadie’s to effectively participate in the tabagie’s success.

“The students have helped us with their responsibility. Their input lets us know what sells and what doesn’t, they’re more care­ ful about the day to day tasks like stocking the shelves, and they’re providing better service,” he said.

“The students now have a sense of ownership,”he added.

SSMU’s contribu­ tions to the financial turnaround at Sadie’s have included the in­ stallation of a new computer system at the store. The new com­ puter is linked directly to SSMU’s accounting system and provides an item by item ac­ count of Sadie’s inven­ tory. SSMU Comptrol­ ler and Sadie’s co-manager Daniel Laforest elaborated on the advantages of the new system.

“The purpose of a com­ pletely computerized inventory is to control purchases in detail.

a r d

t r e n d

Whereas the inventory was once divided into 10 departments we now have 75 which gives us an opportunity to better know their profitability,” Laforest stated.

Yet Johnson maintains that the main reason for the upswing in Sadie’s profits has been the dedication of its student employ­ ees.

“Without a group of stu­ dents as devoted as these ones are, we wouldn’t be seeing the turnaround that we have now,” he said.

Laura Poce, a U2 educa­ tion student and Sadie’s em­ ployee, expressed her satisfac­ tion with the new organization at the store.

“Everyone’s responsible for their own cash and assignments are broken down. Each student is responsible for different opera­ tions like scheduling or order­ ing,”she asserted. “Getting closer with SSMU has made things a lot easier.”

Sadie’s employee and U2 English literature student Rachel Kotick also found the new rela­ tionship mutually beneficial.

“It’s really improved stu­ dent relations and created a bet­ ter rapport with upper manage­ ment which has allowed students more of a say,” she said.

Toronto poet Greg Gatenby once referred to Cana­ da’s relationship with the United States in terms of a sibling’s relationship with an alcoholic brother: “...it’s like watching your brother become an alcoholic,” he said, “...a mixture of sadness and amaze­ ment, as there is no help we can give.”

The analogy of the alco­ holic brother is a fitting one to describe our relationship with the United States. Since the days of Teddy Roosevelt, Canada has watched in help­ less wonder as the United States developed a costly ad­ diction to asserting its influ­ ence on a global scale. Need­ less to say, a great part of our fascination with America’s strength stemmed from our ingrained fears that one day Uncle Sam might start swing­ ing his big stick in our direc­ tion. Those fears were, how­ ever, tempered by America's brief withdrawal into isolation­

It never ceases to amaze me that comer stores in this province survive just by selling the staples: beer, gum and ciga­ rettes. Well it makes sense.

Four out of five dentists rec­ ommend Trident to their pa­ tients who chew gum, and more significantly, one third of Quebecers are cigarette smok­ ers.

Unless you’ve been stuck in the snow for the last three weeks (which isn’t an unrea­ sonable suggestion), you are already familiar with the very public demonstrations by many dépanneur owners who feel their livelihood is threatened by massive sales of contra­ band cigarettes. Popular CFCF 12 wisdom tells us that twothirds of cigarettes in Quebec are purchased illegally.

In confusing “If my friend asked me to jump off a bridge I certainly would” fashion, lo­ cal dépanneur owners have organized independent sales of tax-free smokes themselves.

As of February 2nd, five of these so-called peaceful pro­ tests have been organized.

Members of a newly-founded coalition argue that small fam­

ism which was apparent from Woodrow Wilson's administra­ tion to that of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

America’s addiction was renewed after the Second World War and found its greatest outlet in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. As the most powerful capi­ talist nation on Earth, the United States took the reins in the scram­ ble to counter the communist threat. The United States discov­ ered in the threat of communism a powerful intoxicant which was to become its drug of choice for the next forty years. As the world polarized into East and West, Canada inevitably fell under the shadow of the United States’ umbrella despite Canadian at­ tempts to assert the independ­ ence gained from the crucial role she had played during the Sec­ ond World War. Since the 1950s, Canada has successfully mediated but argu­ ably never moderated American foreign policy. All it has really been able to do is to watch its

ily businesses are in jeopardy: taxes are too high and public security at an all-time low. How­ ever, in the midst of all the fracas, the fact that smoking is a deadly, addictive behaviour has been cut from public concern like a hot knife through lung tissue.

The main question is if the success of small business should be considered more important than the health of our citizens.

Particularly when the main ben­ efactors in the smokes wars are the major tobacco companies and not Mom ‘n’ Pop shops.

Personally, the people that I am most concerned about are teen-aged girls—the fastest growing segment of smokers.

Having been one myself, I know that with a little pressure it is easy to end up pinching an Olympic torch of insecurity, a beacon of significance smaller than an Eddie Bauer pocket flash­ light. I don’t care if old habits die hard, my concern is new habits die young.

Historically, the taxes on tobacco have had two streams of thought behind them. The first is that smokers are incur­ ring a major health risk and therefore are more likely to place a strain on our health care system. As such they are ex­ pected to bear a greater burden of the cost than non-smokers

brother’s addiction intensify and try to repair the damage wrought by his binges.

The Vietnam War was the darkest stage of the United States’ addiction. As its closest neigh­ bour, Canada saw and heard the tragic consequences as this ad­ diction began to tear the United States apart. And all Canada could do was watch its big brother fall.

Under Lester Pearson, Canada did not support the American involvement in Vietnam. Pearson even went so far as to speak out against the bombing of North Vietnam in a speech in Philadel­ phia in 1965. But like any addict, the United States did not want to be told that it had a problem and lashed back at Pearson’s audac­ ity.

But Vietnam was a shock­ ing wake-up call for America’s policy makers. America’s addic­ tion had cost the lives of over 58,000 young Americans and the limbs and minds of countless more. Vietnam brought the ad­ dict face-to-face with the costs

r

and the painful realities of his addiction.

Subsequent administrations denied the consequences of America’s addiction and buried the lessons of Vietnam in legisla­ tion inspired by the shame and bitterness of playground politics which continued to classify Viet­ nam as the enemy. After the fall of South Vietnam’s government in 1975, the United States im­ posed an embargo on Vietnam that was defined under the Trad­ ing with the Enemy Act. For the next 19 years this embargo re­ mained in place, and though peace had been established, Vi­ etnam technically remained an enemy of the United States.

Last Thursday’s lifting of this embargo symbolized a major step forward and away from the haunting memories of the Viet­ nam experience. On the same day, Sergei Krikalev became the first Russian to participate in NASA’s space shuttle program, thus opening a new chapter of cooperation between the United

b r a i n

through these sin taxes. Sec­ ondly, the high price of smokes is designed to discourage peo­ ple from engaging in such highrisk activity.

The Ottawa-Quebec agree­ ment to cut taxes on cigarettes, announced late last week, fails to consider this as removing taxes can only encourage greater tobacco use. This will increase the burden on the health care system while simultaneously withdrawing a major source of funding from that same system.

Personally, I am all for organiz­ ing a Mouvement pour l'Abolition des Taxes Réservées aux Books et Tampons et Pads et School Clothes et All Instru­ ments of Education et Basic Necessity. Canadians pay taxes on all important items, so please, don’t expect me to feel too sorry for cigarette retailers in their hour of need.

Call me jaded, but frankly, the photograph of “Some Guy Waving Wholesale Carton of Ex­ port A Greens” on the Montreal Gazettés January 31st cover will not inspire tears of recognition when it joins Doisneau’s “The Kiss” and dorky Einstein car­ toons on dorm walls in years to come. The Ex in Export is a far cry from the X in Malcolm. The attempt to present an image of those involved as members of a campaign of passive resistance

is as pathetic and false as con­ fusing the Mahatma with the Sailor on a carton of Player’s.

Using economic measures to combat smuggling is poor strategy as we are not engaged in an economic conflict with smugglers. Rather, we should be concerned with their crimi­ nal behaviour. The problem could have been solved with police not policy.

As Holt Renfrew demon­ strates, if you limit the supply of luxury goods, people will pay more. The problem is not the high price of legal cigarettes, it is the availability of cheap illegal ones, and it is against illegality that the battle should be waged.

b r o t h e l States and its favourite Cold War drinking buddy.

It would appear that Clinton’s administration is well on its way to confronting its nation’s addiction and the ru­ inous effect it has had on Ameri­ ca’s domestic life. And last Thursday, for the first time in decades, Canada had the chance to help her brother find the road to recovery. By refus­ ing to allow the testing of cruise missiles over Canadian terri­ tory, Canada could have sent a clear message to her southern brother that the time to deal with his problem had come. As Clinton struggles to reprioritize America’s values against his country’s weakness for global power, Canada should not be offering the United States an­ other drink. The Chrétien gov­ ernment's failure to take a stand against America's addiction has let both Canada and her strug­ gling brother down.

Special mention goes to du Maurier’s favourite friends over at the Montreal Roman Catholic Church. Whether they intended to condone the selling of contraband smokes by allowing dépanneur own­ ers to peddle their wares on Church property is known only unto the Lord Himself.

The Pro-life Catholic church encourages civil diso­ bedience in its war of moral­ ity and argues that abortion is murder. Yet on its own park­ ing lots, we now find the organized sale of the tools of a trade that contributes to 10,000 deaths in Quebec each year.

In the beginning, I’ve been told, there were two individuals named Adam and Eve. These two got to hang around without any cares in a blissful garden.

They only had one rule: ‘Don’t eat from that tree in the middle of the garden.’ The tree, appar­ ently, was the Tree of the Knowl­ edge of Good and Evil and, rules being made to be broken, eat from it they did.

Why was God so irked?

What kind of plant was that anyway? Many people seem to think it was some kind of apple, but I’m not convinced. I’ve eaten lots of apples—Macintosh, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith—you name it. While they all may be very tasty, I’ve yet to come across one so revealing as to warrant eviction from any­ where, let alone Eden.

So the question remains, what was that plant? In the proc­ ess of satisfying my curiosity I came across one wildly specu­ lative yet nonetheless very in­ teresting solution. In his book Food of the Gods, Terence McKenna is interested in exam­ ining what exactly it was that led human beings to develop the complex systems of con­ sciousness which are our most defining feature. McKenna looked at the geographical and tribal histories of areas in Africa associated with early hominids.

He discovered that archaeologi­ cal findings have linked early Homo Sapiens with cattle in whose dung certain forms of fungus thrive. He suggests that the missing link is an hallucino­ genic mushroom, proposing that the ingestion of mind expand­ ing substances is what led to the evolution of the species which we affectionately know as Homo Sapiens.

McKenna’s view is that hallucinogens broadened the realm of conscious experience beyond the confines of instinc­ tual, biological functioning shared with other animals, and created a new sphere of con­ scious thought not previously explored. The hallucinations opened the flood gates of con­ scious experience, and these new concepts demanded articu­ lation. These more complex thought processes required more intricate words and sym­ bols in order to convey their novel meanings and implica­ tions. Due to the influence of the mushrooms, McKenna ar­ gues, we developed the capac­ ity for language which sets us so firmly apart from other animals, and we left the grunt behind forever.

McKenna laments the fact, however, that once we devel-

L

oped the capacity for language, we lost touch with our halluci­ nogenic roots. Many people feel that our languages are funda­ mental to our world view. As Aldous Huxley wrote in The Doors of Perception, “that which...is called ‘this world’ is the universe of reduced aware­ ness, expressed, and, as it were, petrified by language. ”Language, as with any medium, has an impact on those who use it.

When writing or speaking, one can onlyconvey meanings which fall within the given parameters of language. We cannot verbally express anything which is not imbued with meaning by social consensus.

The same holds true for self-communication, that is, thought. Thoughts can be seen as largely a function of language.

One can think, “my foot hurts,” because words have been cre­ ated to express the meanings of pain. However, any attempt to think about something which does not have existent words to describe it would fall within the realm of sensation and would not conventionally be consid­ ered as conscious thought. In a sense then, we are confined by our language. Unless new terms are developed to describe any particular phenomenon, it can­ not be meaningfully conveyed to others. This is the same situa­ tion which McKenna believed led to the evolution of hominids into Homo Sapiens. The inges­ tion of hallucinogens led to a wider range of experience which required a greater medium with which to convey meanings.

For McKenna, one of the most significant features of our use of symbols (i.e. written words) to relay information, is the fact that they “allow us to store information outside of the human brain.” McKenna feels that now, our significant cultural developments are no longer stored and transmitted in and from the human mind, but are kept largely outside the brain in files and microchips. As well, due to the increasing size of the human population, the natural process of selection, which can only function in smaller groups, has ceased to operate. Thus, because we are so many, we have ceased to evolve. It’s ironic that now the very thing which defines us as the evolved spe­ cies of humans, namely our ca­ pacity for language, has helped to contribute in bringing us to an evolutionary standstill.

The mandate of the Ad­ missions Office is to administer these policies. Its admissions officers are highly competent professionals. The quality of the students admitted to McGill is clear testament to that fact.

The characterization of these individuals as “just glori­ fied secretaries” is demeaning to both the admissions officers, and to the secretaries of this university. McGill’s stature de­ rives from the dedicated efforts of a team of highly competent academic and support person­ nel working together toward a common goal. My experience as an academic, and as an aca­ demic administrator, leaves me with no doubt that our support staff, from clerical to executive, are highly professional, deeply committed, and extremely valu­ able contributors to the attain­ ment of that goal. They have earned and deserve our respect.

abum when one of your writers (Michael Broadhurst) does not even know what he is talking about? Just two of the problems I have with the recent review of the soundtrack for Philadelphia are: 1) If truth be known, the song “Streets of Philadelphia” bares little, if any, resemblance to the music on Nebraska. Any intelligent reviewer would com­ pare this song to the songs on Tunnel ofLove. The instrumen­ tation and the overall approach to the music are so far away from the style and themes pre­ sented on Nebraska yet almost identical to the aforementioned

Tunnel of Love.

2) “Christopher Barron is no John Fogerty". Thank you for this blatant observation. The point of a cover song is to hear someone different play and/or sing it. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”is a beautifully written song—why not let William Shatner have another crack at laying down some vocal tracks?

Oh, and by the way, CCR cov­ ered “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” back in the 70s.

Hey Michael, John Fogerty is no Marvin Gaye.

I really don’t care what you think about this album per­ sonally, but if you are going to try and be witty please remem­ ber the old adage: “It’s better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to open one’s mouth and prove it.”

Re: Jonathan S. Like we care about Mr. S.’s woeful existence and the dead­ lines that surround him. Why the Tribune continues to sub­ ject the population of McGill to the drivel that “Jonathan” (who evidently lacks the courage to stand before his peers) pro­ duces is beyond me. Please spare us, before it's too late.

Fortnight after fortnight Mr. S. delights us with his cursory summation of his Buddhist per­ spective by sprinkling his col­ umn with cute little “enlighten­ ing” quotes. Please write again Jonathan. The suspense is kill­ ing me.

Frankly, you, the editors, should be more pugilistic with Mr. S., as he “playfully” sug­ gests you are. I’m sure you’re not, but it seems that Jonathan could use a reality check.

S ex u a l “intim idâtor" p a id o f f A Swarthmore College freshman is to have his expenses at the univesity of his choice paid for by the College after having been accused of sexual harassment.

Last semester, Ewert Yearwood was accused of harassment by a fellow student who claimed that Yearwood was stalking her at a dance, phoning her late at night, and making questionable comments to others such as “I’m going to have her.”

The president of the liberal arts college, Albert Bloom, claimed that Yearwood’s actions were not sexual harassment but amounted to engaging in “a pattern of intimidation.”

In order to “make it clear to Yearwood that intimidation would not be tolerated,” the college has, in Bloom’s words, “provided the means for [Yearwood] to learn better to manage his own behaviour.”This has amounted to having the college pay for a year at Columbia University in New York, the university of Yearwood’s choice. The college will be shelling out approximately $20 000 for tuition, room and board. “(The case exposes) an outrageous infestation of political correctness,” said Yearwood’s lawyer. Yearwood denies all allegations and claims his actions were misunderstood.

Swarthmore said it will consider readmitting Yearwood next term if he undergoes counselling - at the school’s expense. source: files from the Western Gazette

Byte busters break ban According to criminal lawyer Edward Greenspan, the University of Toronto

Varsity broke the spirit of the publication ban on details of the Karla Homolka trial.

The publication of details regarding the trial of Homolka and that of her estranged husband, Paul Teale, for the murder of two young women in Ontario, was banned in July 1993 by Justice Francis Kovacs. The ban has proven difficult to enforce, information on the trial being readily available to knowledgeable users of Internet, the global computer information exchange system accessible through campus computers. Also,

The McGill Tribune, February 8-14,

B r ie f s the ban does not apply to media south of the border, and trial details have readily leaked northwards.

In a recent edition, the Varsity published step by step instructions on how to access the information by “bouncing ofF computers at non-Canadian universities.

Many Canadian universities have removed the news group alt.fan.karla-homolka from their mainframes, but the information is apparently still available through other, less topic-specific news groups.

According to Greenspan, the Varsity could be found guilty of counselling an offence, given that their actions could have been construed as inciting people to break the ban. source: files from the University of Waterloo Imprint

Surface ruffling fea th ers a t Queen's Surface, a controversial Queen’s journal, plans to publish despite an Arts and Science Undergraduate Society referendum to withdraw the journal’s funding.

Last fall, the students of the faculties of Arts and Science voted to withdraw Surface’s funding due to the journal’s questionable content. Surface’s mandate, to represent minority viewpoints at Queen’s, was, according to some, violated by the content of the likes of the “Sex Issue” which carried articles such as “How to make love to a white boy.”

Surface editor, Junipero Lagtapon says that the journal will now depend on funding from sources outside of the university. Failure to acquire all of the 600 dollars necessary for each issue will, according to Lagtapon, result in a reduced size and reduced frequency of publication.

Lagtapon expressed dissatisfaction with the referendum campaign and the decision by ASUS to cut the journal. He said that in representing only the majority viewpoint, ASUS ensured that minorities on campus wouldn’t be heard.

Presently, Surface is being run out of a basement apartment and staff are having to use ASUS computer facilities. Their status is still being debated by ASUS. source: files from the Queen’s University Journal

Valentine’s Day has be­ nne a ritual of cheezy gestures nd dated sentiments that have rorn thin. In fact, we believe alentine’s Day is a joke. So >rget the flowers, the corny irds and the stale chocolates ecause this is the new Valenne's Day aesthetic. We think tat you’ll agree that the followig suggestions will bring the armth back into an otherwise aid and hollow day. Furthertore, we believe that Valenne's Day should not discrimiate on the basis of whether you -e involved with someone or ot. For this reason, we have dected activities in which all m participate with friends or gnificant others, if they really rant to.

DRESS-UP GAMES: For the Thespian at heart, m suggest the following role­ laying activities: —Dress up like your ivorite characters from “The eachcombers”and cook home ■ies together while re-enacting >hn LeClair s game five over­

time goal against the King’s in last year’s Stanley Cup final.

—Go to the Salvation Army and select appro­ priate 1970s wear.

Then go to the Ritz-Carleton and pretend that you’re Mr. and Mrs. Roper.

— Go to Eaton’s, try on leo­ tards and do an interpretive dance of the Cuban mis­ sile crisis or the 1988 free trade de­ bate for the secu­ rity cameras.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: —Take a horse-and-buggy ride through Mon­ treal and have a good cry together.

—Build a snow fort, col­ lapse it and try to rescue one another.

—Go to Le Faubourg and purchase 100 hot and chewy

As if getting into relation­ ships wasn’t difficult enough...As if keeping it together weren’t difficult. The timing, the set-up, the sexy dinner, the commit­ ment, and all the trimmings that make it work are in such a delicate balance that you can only hope that the last minute touches you add will stabilize any disequilibrium present. But one aspect of a relationship that remains was completely unpre­ dictable from grade two on were THE PARENTS. Even now, when we think we know ourselves, they have the capability of walk­ ing in and making our lives re­ semble the aftermath of a small war.

So in the spirit of St. Valen­ tine, who was thrown into a medieval jail cell and left to rot, here are some examples of meet­ ings between parents and sig­ nificant others that went awry.

This first one concerns a man who, fearing for his reputa­ tion, has chosen not to reveal his identity.

Setting: Vancouver; Time: 1988 Mindset: Idiots “My girlfriend at the time and I had decided to stay in a hotel for Valentine’s Day. It was

quite a big affair because it was going to put me out 300 dollars.

I was 17, and she was 16 and we had been having sex for months, obviously without the knowl­ edge of our parents. And I wasn’t going to tell them about this, ”he explained, looking woeful.

“Of course, the hotel had a policy of not letting people un­ der 18 reserve a room. So, of course, the hotel calls up to verify this reservation and who do they get? Her mother. Who of course freaks out and confronts her daughter. Then, I’m called in and I get involved. I’m scream­ ing; they’re screaming; she’s screaming; everyone’s scream­ ing.”

“My Valentine’s Day was spent in a separate room listen­ ing to a ‘conference’ between my parents and her parents as they tried to figure what to do with us.”

Shelliza Mohammed, a U3 biology student, had similar prob­ lems getting intimate with her partner.

In high school, she and her boyfriend, Sinclair, had the prob­ lem of losing her earrings in all sorts of places: the bedroom, the car, the guest room. Sinclair’s parents inevitably were the only people who found them.

V a l e n t i n e ’s

“Sinclair would make up the most outra­ geous stories to explain these lost things," Mo­ hammed said. “But he would explain it in Chi­ nese to his parents. So I never knew exactly what was going on. All I saw were really suspicious faces get more suspi­ cious and then relax.

And all I tried to do was to look innocent.”

This roup includes Hallowe’en rid the worst of them all, ew Year’s Eve. The best ray to deal with this pres­ ire is to recognize that the ay will suck no matter what ou do, no matter whether ou’re single or happily comlitted. And forget the ultiîate dream of meeting Mr. r Ms. Wonderful on V-Day îote the rhyme with D-Day; ’s no coincidence), it’s just ot going to happen. Sorry to urst your bubble, but that’s îe way it’s going to be. It’ll e far less agonizing if you ice it now.

A few months back, I lade the suggestion that peole have an increasing proensity to make that commir­ ent, take the plunge, tie the not, check your personity at the door, whatever nu care to call it. While I id this w;»s not necessarily bad thing, I did not advoite in any way going out to ap yourself a mate. It seems, iwever, that the editors of ose trashy mags of Cosmo id Mile didn’t read my ilumn very carefully (I didn’t ren know the Tribune was stributed in the US.) Both e magazines’ current issues :eb. 1994) have a feature on )w to trap yourself a man. lough I’m no longer in the arket, I couldn’t resist readg up on their advice for iding eternal bliss.

PRIVATECOW S

BY C H E R Y L DEVOE like his idea, and for God’s sake, honey, don’t have any self-respect!

The creators of this piece, called “Practical reasons he should marry you”, give some “selling ideas” to “subtly introduce...into his beautiful brain.” I kid you not. Included in this list are: “He’ll get a tax break”; “He can deduct you as a dependent”; and my per­ sonal favourite, “You never gloat when you’re right.” Like I said, forget the self-respect thing.

Madamoiselle, on the other hand, tries to fit into the new feminist world. It writes a full article on the subject, en­ titled “Hooking him: a last ditch guide.” It seems there was a concerted effort in this article to avoid being accused of advising women, or 13year-old girls, as the case may be, that you should throw your dignity out the door, entrapment is the be-all-andend-all. Its experts advise you to ask: “Do you really want to be married to him, specifi­ cally, or just want to be mar­ ried?”They also impress upon the reader that getting preg­ nant is “not only a bad idea, it’s sociopathic.”

So Madamoiselle ful­ filled it’s role as the modem women’s mag. But interspersed with all that great advice is the same old story: manipulate, just don’t let him catch on that you’re smart enough to do so.

“You have to let your honey feel as though he’s the genius who cooked up the commit­ ment plan—that he’s the one at bat...”

The truth is, no matter how much the world of academia has progressed, and some would say it has pro­ gressed very little, pop culture is years behind, and it’s that which has the greatest effect on our youth. Curious how in both of those magazines arti­ cles never suggested just ask­ ing that special guy to marry you. Instead, we’re being told that we should take all that intelligence that we’re now allowed to have, and manipu­ late, con and entrap. After all, we don’t just want that man to marry us, we NEED him to marry us. Great new image we’re being saddled with, women. Happy Valentine’s Day.

q u e e r

BY MARY-MARGARET JONES (excerpted from the McGill Student Handbook) C am p u s, 1111 Ste.Catherine E., 526-3616. Astrip bar, but rumor has it that the music and the men are rather mediocre. The serving staff is rather aggressive and the men are a little older. Cover charge.

Men only except Sundays.

L o u b a r, 1364 Ste. Catherine E. 524-1960. In the summer the terrace is a good place to talk with friends over inexpensive draft. Interior bar is cozy and they have a large pool room. Women are older, francophone working-class crowd who all seem to know eachother; not many women of colour. Not wheelchair ac­ cessible. Acasual, quiet place to go before G-Spot. (see below).

L ézard , 4177 St-Denis (corner Rachel), 289-9819.

Hard-edged techno music, New Wave/ Alternative nights, and the drag shows make Lézard one of the best alternative bars in the city. Gays are welcome every night, but Mardi Interdit is the most gay night. Mixed gay/

p o s it iv e

straight, male/female crowd.

There’s usually a cover of $2.00 or so.

Sky, 1474 Ste-Catherine E., 598-2475. Becoing more adventursome, with Tribal Night

on Sunday. The music is techno/ disco, and they have 2 for 1 drink specials Thursday to Sunday. The main complaint is a little too much attitude. Mixed.

S tation C, Ste-Catherine E./

c lu b s

de la Visitation (Beaudry Metro), 523-0064. You cannot be gay/ lesbian/ bisexual in this city with­ out coming into this amazing com­ plex at least once. Three bars in an old post office: 1. K ata co m b es This bar has less of a prep-fag crowd, mature men, and the music is pretty good. Warn­ ing! The back of the bar is known as the Vortex. If you don’t want to get felt-up or a quick hand-job, don’t go there.

2. K .O .X . Main floor.

The best dance bar in the city, renovated to look like a gymnasium reminiscent of those high school fantasies we’ve all had. Great cruising.

Great looking boys. Much attitude.

3. G -Spot Top floor.

Station C’s most excellent women’s bar. Boys allowed Thursdays and Sundays.

Good place to go with your female friends. Small dance floor, but great pool table, techno-music in dire need of an overhaul, and womyn every­ where! Attitude is a must here. Not many womyn of colour; bartend­ ers are gorgeous and know it. No wheelchair access. Undoubtedly the best womyn’s bar in the city.

As an intern you can go from fact checking and freelance copy editingto contributing to sections— like our “Reels” section—and can work your way up from there.

They’re mostly unpaid.

Connections can help.

Journalismschool? Some peo­ ple around here went but it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference. You’re better working and getting lots of clips together.

Last year we had 160 applicants for 15 intern slots. And the applicants were better qualified than lam...

G lenn W heeler A ssociate E d itor NO W M agazine, T o ro n to

I have a BA in journalism— and while such degrees will help you get hired, the intellectual stand­ ards were low and the education poor, so I got an MA in criminol­ ogy, worked at Canadian Press, then became a freelance writer.

It’s a very poor time in the news industry.

Establish a relationship with a publication (often through free­ lance writing) and they may start assigning you stories.

Get a beat, an area you can cover quickly. Connections aren’t so important. Story ideas are judged on a merit basis.

K im C larke C ham pniss M uchM usic re p o rte r, T oron to

The world of ideas is always important. While inuniversity(Eng­ lish at UBC) I became involved in the student radio station (CITR) which led to my career in the music industry, stepping stone to step­ ping stone, from CITR to club DJ, to band manager, to agent, to MuchMusic.

Avi Lew is M uchM usic, T o ro n to

Usefulness of [my BA] educa­ tion: absolutely none.

Chutzpah and shmoozability mean much more in this business than Chomsky and Schopenhauer.

I’ve sold hot dogs, used cars, agnolotti, and children’s birthday parties—and I’ve always learned everything on the job.

Advice: Drink heavily in the bars surrounding your target TV station, radio station, or newspa­ per. In no time you’ll be best bud­ dies with all the top brass, and you’ll have any job you want.

Ziggy L oren c H o st'A ctress o f L ife on Venus

we all felt too hopeful. Now when I meet you (students), you’re all so sad and jaded.

Don’tget caught upwithMen/ Women, booze or drugs. Stay out of the sun, if you want longevity on camera. Do not feel that it is below you to be picking up coffee or lunch orders. Take a dumb job and be creative with it. Create your own job. Do what you fear and dread most. Accentuate your flaws. Put heart into your work. Be up-beat.

Wear great clothes!

Je n n ife r M orton M uchM usic, T oron to

My courses [BA McGill] gave me a critical view of communica­ tion—pursuing it in a social, his­ torical, and theoretical context.

McGill’s education was directly and indirectly very useful. Having lived in Montreal and speaking French helped me get a job as a PA at Musique Plus...and over to Much.

People who persist, with lots of energy and ideas and ... who are focused seem to get their foot in­ side the door.

I didn’t go to university. I grew up in journalism—was sur­ rounded by it. But it’s different today. At least 9 out of 10 of us at CFCF12 have at least a BA. Specialize in something else, not only communications, etc.

Mitshumi is just finishing up her MBA. Definitely do get an intern­ ship—I did. Fifty per cent of mak­ ing it is being at the right place at the right time.

Journal­ ism school is useful only if you wish to pursue a ca­ reer as a pro­ fessional mo­ ron. Myadvice to the wouldbe writer is to write, write, write, without cease, and to find someone to critique your work who is both intelligent and honest. Worry later about pecuniary rewards and ca­ reer advancement—the first, most crucial step is to develop a love for language and a capacity for ma­ nipulating it.

SPINS

BY CATRIN MORRIS For those of us with random degrees in humanistic studies and philosophy, graduation day serves as a swift Doc M artens kick in the (usually ripped and Guatam alan) pants. A B.A. isn't exactly a gift certificate redeemable at your nearest high paying entry level job.

Underemployment is our generation’s W oodstock. W e are jaded and willing to settle for less money but want jobs th at will quench our intellectual thirst. W e are actually willing to take unpaid internships all the while building heinous student loan debts and sighs of despair from disgruntled parents. But, in the words of Ru Paul, “You gotta w ork.”

The internship: The very concept of an unpaid job is inimical to equal opportunity in the workplace. Unpaid internships are the McJobs for the urban elite, but paid internships are generally more com petitive. W hat to do?

The application deadlines approach for the June positions. Canadians can work in the States if a temporary visa is obtained in advance. According to Internships 1994, (a hefty $ 3 0 but crucial guide) you should create a one-page-only resume and cover letter - which should be professional without being utterly void of personality- for each application. Prepare a list of references who can be contacted upon request, and be sure to send clippings or any other tangible proof of your genius.

Interns may be mere peons, who must deal with fax machines and annoying "intern activities” (cheesy happy hour nights) Still, /rrterns are in — and can absorb as much knowledge - and connections — as possible Words of advice from the other side: The Tribune bugged lots of people from the world of journalism, publishing and broadcasting to expose industry secrets.

The general consensus is that journalism school is not the best path. Hands-on experience, w hether on or off campus, demonstrates you can actually do what you theorize in your Habermas class. Are connections that important? W ell, unfortunately...yes. The old adage th at “it ain 't what you know but who you know" may be a little extrem e, but go swallow your ethics and get a masters degree in bullshitting. Gone are the days of Bob “I worked in the Washington Post mailroom when I was eleven” Woodward.

Don’t get too cynical, though. Sure, the rich well-connected brats do get an easy Joan and David foot in the door. But in order to stay there, says one Spy intern, "having a brain doesn’t hurt."

Jo h n M aynard E d itorial A ssistant in Style se c­ tio n o f th e W ashington Po st

Fortunately, the fact that I watch a lot of TV was instrumental in my getting hired! Unfortunately, as in many industries, getting a job is related to who you know. The best education is first hand experi­ ence.

I got to Spythrough its edito­ rial intern program. It doesn’t pay much but it gives the powers that be a chance to see what you can do.

In my case, it lead to a position that pays $250,000 a week and requires

ents, I would suggest Tina Brown and E. Graydon Carter.

K atie P o ttin g er E d itorial In tern , Spy m agazine, New Y o rk

I am only a lowly intern, but there is one crucial thing I have learned: You must be well-con­ nected. Connectionsareeverything!

My best advice would be to start attending the right parties and shmoozing heavily. P.S. having a brain doesn’t hurt either.

Advice? Make contacts, im­ press people, work hard for every­ one ... more important than a good cover letter. Journalism school’ No. A thousand times no. Best thing about magazine publishing? Plenty of time to polish your prose. Worst thing? The pay. No union, high supply, limited demand. Result’ Poverty.

C ath erin e W allace C ity E d itor and In tern sh ip Co­ o rd in a to r, The G azette, M on­ tre a l

Hands on experience in cam­ pus or community papers is a plus.

It shows you can actually do the job. Write a variety of stories, from features to hard news. Journalism school is helpful as a form of training. Summer internships at The G azette place you as a replacement reporter.

But there is a hiring freeze on now and it’s a tough market.

I went to Ryerson journalism school.

Journalism’s just about the most fun job you can have.

E rica Ehm M uchM usic Y J, T o ro n to

Mystudies at Ottawa U[BAin Comm.] were primarily theoretical.

I learned absolutely nothing about television. In Montreal I worked at CHOM FM when I was 17, as a music librarian. I dee-jayed at local new wave/ punk bars in the early 80s, and worked at various record stores. I started as a receptionist for the New Music television show on Toronto’s CITY TV, became enter­ tainment coordinator, then got the on-air job after working on-air at a local cable company for a year or so.

Advice: Work in all different jobs in the music biz. Hang out with bands. Read a lot. Write a lot.

Volunteer your services to anyone who will take you. Start at the bottom and work up. Listen to advice.

audience, that is normally lim­ ited to small, local, usually uni­ versity-run stations. So what the hell is BNW doing taking up four hours of air time each weeknight on Canada’s largest network?

When asked about the CBC’s motives, Bambury prof­ fers, “I’ve heard us rationalized by management over the years in that we’re introducing a younger audience that we’re going to deliver to other shows.” So BNWis essentially an evil plot by the corporate fiends of CBC to warp the minds of youth, channelling our concerns from the ex-cen­ tric to the conventional topics of Lister Sinclair’s Ideas. We’re being boringized.

Some might argue, how­ ever, that ZWWdoes have some intrinsic value, contributing something essential to the cul­ ture. Just what that is, how­ ever, is something even Banbury cannot explain.

“As for what we contrib­ ute to the culture, I don’t know,” he said. “I mean, what is our culture? It’s pretty much a sea of junk and we’re just surfing it. That’s all we’re doing.”

And they’re getting paid to do it.

To state that Bambury has one of the most interesting— not to mention most fun—jobs in the world of media cannot be cause for argument. Aside from the fact that, in radio, Bambury does not have to wear a suit, he also has a proficient staff who do the dirty work, while he comes off as the pop culture boy wonder. Bambury’s staff members make the on-air omniscient persona possible.

While he admits to sounding like “an idiot” in person, he credits his staff for giving him “an enormous amount of the confidence that I carry onto the air.”

Well, idiot or pop culture genius, Bambury is one of the lucky few who can combine personal interest with a ca­ reer—a luxury in a time when holding out for that ideal ca­ reer often results in turning 40, eating crow, taking a Mcjob, and shamefully hiding the fact from those whom you once tried to impress.

BY STEVE PRATT If you’ve seen the posters around campus displaying a sil­ houette of a woman hefting a dripping axe and are expecting Sharon Pollack’s Blood Relations to be a slash 'em up stage version of Freddy Kreuger’s family life, don’t go.

If, on the other hand, you’re anticipating a well-staged enact­ ment of a woman’s life with an intelligent feminist slant, then don’t miss it.

Most people will remember the cheerful nursery rhyme: "Lizzie Borden took an axe She gave her mother forty whacks When the job was nicely done She gave her father forty-one” What many will not know is that the nursery rhyme is based on a true story from the 1890s. So, in the form of a play we are presented with a nursery rhyme about a real woman. Art, imitating art, imitating life. Yeah.

BY COLIN FERGUSON Tuesday Night Cafe’s Miss Julie is a compelling story acted by some of McGill’s finest. I suggest you go.

August “Pig” Strindberg was born in 1849. He wrote Miss Julie some seven years before his major breakdown and string of destructive marriages.

Strindberg’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dead Swedish Misogynist Play­ wright, challenged the societal rules of the 19th century with their upper/lower class marriage.

Being a witness to the problems of their marriage — and being the pig that he was — Strindberg publicly condemned the con­ cept.

MissJulie, which also cen­ tres around such an inter-class union, is sculpted with misogy­ nist intentions. Yet when it is removed from the frustrated, yet brilliant, yet frustrated, yet pork­ like hands of its creator, its mes­ sage becomes reversed. The play presents a sensitive and sympa­ thetic commentary on the com­ plications and struggles of the gender and class system.

Strindberg would most probably be very upset with the modem effects of his play. But... he is dead.

The play opens with Christine and Jean, the Count’s cook and valet, exposing through casual conversation, the work­ ings of their lower class relation­ ship. Miss Julie, daughter of the

the layered complexity of Blood Relations. The play begins when an actress from the future visits Borden after her acquittal for the murders. But we have a bizarre role switcheroo—the actress por­ trays Lizzie and Lizzie plays a maid, creating a play-within-aplay. The actress from the future plays Lizzie throughout the play as a symbol of the universality and timelessness of Lizzie’s plight.

Right out of a Grimms’ fairy tale, Lizzie is the youngest daugh­ ter of a rich, widowed man who has remarried a sour, oppressive woman. This evil stepmother treats Lizzie like a servant and threatens to inherit the family property after the father dies, which would leave Lizzie and her sister under the stepmother’s reign forever. (Sa­ distic cackle here.) Meanwhile, Lizzie’s father is trying to marry her off. The result? Mr. Borden and the evil stepmother are sud­ denly found murdered with - you guessed it - an axe.

The big question is “DID SHE DO IT?” (As TIME-LIFEsug­

gests, “Read the book!., er.. see the play!” because my lips, in accordance with the high journal­ istic integrity of the Tribune, are hermetically sealed.)

The strength of the play, though, lies not in the plot, but in the feminist exploration of the pressures placed on Lizzie which could have conceivably lead her to murder. Lizzie laments that, unlike others, she was not “marked” by a “magic formula” at birth to become a conventional woman. Instead, Lizzie has de­ voted her life to defying conven­ tional, limiting, female roles.

Blood Relations is about negotiating the ground between conformity and social acceptance on the one hand, and the subver­ sion and rejection of social norms on the other.

This message pervades the play on several levels, including deftly subtle lines like, ‘That’s what you do with things that are different, you kill them,” and slyly hidden symbolism in the form of Lizzie being literally trapped in an oversize birdcage in the second

The acting is solid through­ out the cast, with particularlystrong performances by Karen B. Cowley as Lizzie and by G a b r i e 1 1e Kemeny, who plays the actress from the future.

Overall, the plot and the themes, presented by di­ rector Kemeny, are smoothly mixed. The result is a very enter­ taining play that sends out a strong message.

for Canadian jobs in the com­ munications industry?

Janine Marchessault, a post-doctorate fellow at McGill, argues that while this new tech­ nology can be very exciting, there are many problems.

“It could just create more atomized markets for American commercial products,” Marchessault explained. “Build­ ing a larger infrastructure does not automatically mean that it will be filled with more Cana­

The information super­ highway. No one knows quite what it is but everyone sees it as the wave of the future.

Keith Spicer, head of the Canadian Radio Television Tel­ ecommunications Commission has hinted that this new inter­ facing of computers with televi­ sion and even telephones will go largely unregulated in Canada. What does that mean

dian products. The kind of talk going on today went on about cable in the 1970s.”

So is there any hope for the smaller TV stations, compa­ nies and networks?

While many Canadians ea­ gerly await this new messiah to bring more jobs in tow, others continue to forge ahead in the ultra-competitive television in­ dustry.

Television Productions, a pri­ vate company with offices in Florida, Montreal and Hong Kong. The company produces a series of informative and inno­ vative programs that deal with current global events in an in­ formal setting. While the con­ tent of the shows is Canadian, the market is American.

Markets like Calgary or Montreal “just don’t cut it”, ac­ cording to Leclerc. I Ipwards of five million people are needed

for an informative show to sui vive in the private sphere.

While some of World Al fairs’ shows are picked up b the CBC, Leclerc complains tha the old boys network goes ; long way in limiting the compa ny’s opportunities.

“I’m sure no one would b< surprised by the large amoun of nepotism that goes on at th< CBC,” he explained.

World Affairs sells all o their shows to PBS in the US, bu they are bought on a demanc basis. If PBS refuses to buy th( show then production is imme diately stopped in an effort tc cut losses. To stay ahead of the game, Leclerc is constantly pitch ing the American network tc cover him financially.

Despite the “bitchin’ com­ petitiveness” of the industry, Leclerc warned against produc­ ing shows on demand. If the network executives know that “you are a lackey they will treat you like one.”

One of the production company’s shows, The World in Review, runs against modern trends. In a world environment where news programs increas­ ingly rely on hi-tech satellites to whiz talking heads across bor­ ders and into living rooms, The World in Review uses a face-toface discussion format. The moderator of this program is McGill’s own, Principal David Johnston.

The television industry may be very competitive and increasingly hi-tech, but there is always room for hard working, creative and determined indi­ viduals (although you would never know it from watching Entertainment Tonight). If you fit this description there is a good chance that the new superhighway may mean at least an opportunity to show your stuff and find a paying job.

As the teamcaptain, Andrew Thompson, explained, the team began the year with minimal ex­ pectations, but went into the sea­ son finale with higher hopes.

“We had so little experi­ ence that our expectations at the beginning of this year were low,” stated Thompson.

“With our strong perform­ ance at the Crossover Tourna­ ment our expectations rose, and I was hoping we would place fifth at the OUAA Championships,” added Thompson. “But, despite the slight disappointment, we did match last year’s results.”

12 women’s teams. University of Toronto, as is befitting the host of any meet, clearly beat the pants off everyone else. They finished first overall with 115 points. McGill was a distant second with 58 points, and Laurentian third.

The Martlets did their usual damage, with their regulars dish­ ing out the beatings. In the wom­ en’s 1500 meter race, McGill’s Superwoman, Linda Thyer, again came in first in a time of 4:36:34.

She easily met her objective of qualifying for the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) National championships.

Melanie Basset, who placed 7th, and Kelly Fallon, who placed 13th, both recorded personal bests in the race.

The Redmen had a tougher time in their Toronto stay. Their highest placing came in the 1000 meter race, with Peter Madden grabbing third in 2:34:84.

Andrew Bloom placed fifth in the 300m and the 600m, with times of 37:l6and 1:25:67, respec­ tively.

Max Oates placed third in the triple jump, with a leap of 13-47 meters.

In the 4 by 400m relay race, the Martlets won in a time of 4:17:85. First to fourth were Caroline Healy, Meredith Motley (whose father won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics back in

Over the course of its long, arduous season, like all teams, McGill's Track and Field will have its ups and downs. Mind you, their downs are the ups on a good day for most other teams. At the Uni­ versity of Toronto Track Classic, last weekend, the McGill teams performedwith mixed results. Their showing was substandard com­ pared to their normal achieve­ ments.

Dennis Barrett, the head coach of the McGill track and field operation, makes no excuses about the ambiguous results.

“We had sick runners who couldn’t make it, we had injured runners. Some of them weren’t committed to the meet. Jean Nicolas Duval [an engineering student and a stellar runner for the Redmen] couldn’t come, cause he’s drown­ ing in his work. Engineering is really tough, you know.”

Are those excuses, Dennis?

“Nah, nah, those aren’t re­ ally excuses. Hey, wait a minute, we did well. We were second overall in the standings. Everyone who had to get qualifying times got them. This meet just wasn’t a really important one in the standings. In fact it had no bearing on us whatsoever.”

The event played host to 27 teams overall, with 15 men’s and

1964). Right behind Motley were Diana Owen taking the third leg and the anchor Brenda Welsh.

Figuring again quite promi­ nently in the women’s 300m were Welsh (third) and Motley (fourth).

In the women’s 3000 meters, Kelly Butler of Guelph came in first, with Linda Thyer, by nowjust slightly winded from her 1500m effort, coming in second with a time of 10:01:89. Kelly Fallon was fourth in 10:34:49.

“The purpose of this meet was for the [runners] to run them­ selves into shape,” explained Barrett. “December, because of exams and vacation, was a write­ off. They just want to run their best now. If they don’t win the provin­ cial championships, the CIAUwon’t pay for their trip to the Nationals in Edmonton.”

Barrett continued.

“Oh, they’ll qualify, but if they don’t win they will have to pay for the air fare and stuff all by themselves. I think that’s incentive enough. That’s why they work so hard... that’s why this meet was a tune-up.”

Like athletes who play for big bucks, the Martlets and Redmen will have to turn in a tremendous effort to get that free trip to Ed­ monton. Start watching for it next Saturday, when they will travel to the Sherbrooke Invitational track meet.

Clarke added that with on game to go against Concordh this game will serve as a worth reminder of his team’s develop ment since the season began la; October.

B Y S T E V E SM ITH Despite their most impres­ sive performance of the season, McGill’s hockey Martlets’ were torpedoed by the CEGEP St. Laurent Patriotes 5-0, last Satûrday at McConnell Arena.

When the Patriotes Caroline Proulx slid one past Martlet goaltender Annette Van der Linde at 0:49 of the first period, it ap­ peared as though the McGill squad was well on its way to another tragic display of inexperience.

The next nine minutes, however, witnessed an impressive display of Martlet pressure as the squad indulged in some intense forechecking and managed to keep the Patriotes bottled up in their own end. Unfortunatelyscor­ ing is not the Martlets’ forte, and despite a number of McGill chances, the Patriotes’ Stephanie Grenon snowed on the Martlets’ picnic with a blast from the slot at 9:42 of the first.

But the game wasn’t out of reach, and the 25 fans who showed up teetered on the edge of their seats in anticipation of a Martlet comeback in the second period—or at least a shot on goal.

It was the Patriotes’ Sandra Coté, however, who kept the goal judge

B Y ABBA BRO DT Religion and sports, two very different pastimes, make for very strange bedfellows. Athletes who have mixed the two have not always met with success.

There have always been Jewish athletes, Islamic athletes, and Christian athletes in profes­ sional sports. Their religion is never really a factor unless it happens to clash with their sports.

Andrew Bloom, a 19-year-old runner on the McGill Redmen track team is one such athlete who has to mix his Judaism with his running. What distinguishes him from other Jewish athletes is that he is a religious Jew, an observant Jew. And that flies in the face of his track running. Yet, he still does both.

Having just returned from a run, Andrew Bloom is a mess.

There is brown slush and salt covering the entire backside of his running suit. His breath is a little short, but aside from that he has barely broken a sweat. Col­ lapsed next to him is his running partner for the day, Eric Tagamik, who looks to be on the verge of a massive coronary, with all his panting and wheezing.

“He’s pretty out of shape” says Bloom, somewhat apolo­ getically.

“Hey Eric, show him your flab...”, to which Eric gleefully obliges, lifting up his soaked shirt to expose a rolling wave of flesh. Bloom breaks out into a laugh, and before long, he is talking, only too happy to ex­ pound on the rigours of being a Jew and running track.

“When I was growing up as

McGill’s sails.

“Usually, our offence is a lot stronger,” Martlet middle blocker and sometime power hitter Brita Weiss commented after the game. “We have a good team; we just have to come together. We’re waiting for it to happen. Maybe we should just take it.”

Coach Rachèle Béliveau was candid about the loss.

“We’re playing well, and then we make a few mistakes in a row, and a game that was, say, 5-5, is now 9-6, and then the difference is there. We’re a very young team. We have to de­ crease those kinds of mis­ takes.”

Although the team is now out of the playoffs, Béliveau remains upbeat; she knows that the rebuilding process will take a few more years.

The Martlets wind up their season this weekend, hosting Université de Sherbrooke on Friday at 7 PM and on Saturday at 1 PM.

“My school didn’t have a track team, so I tried out for the North York Track and Field team.

The only race that I could run was the 400 meter race, because it was the only one not on Shabbat (Saturday),” he explained.

As a religious Jew, Bloomeats only kosher food, prays every morning and keeps Shabbat. In order to keep Shabbat, a Jew has a strict set of rules to observe. From sundown Friday night until sundown Sat­ urday night, a religious Jew can­ not write, turn on a television or a light, cannot cook or bake, cannot drive a car and cannot be driven, among other things. The majority of Redmen track meets take place on Saturdays. The out-of-town meets usually re­ quire that the team travel on either Friday nights or Saturday mornings to get to the event, which would exclude Bloom from attending the meets. But not really.

“If the team will be driving on Shabbat to get to a meet, I’ll just leave either a day earlier or a few hours earlier. I’ll take a bus up to the city, rent a motel room and stay there by myself, until it’s

200,000 dollar shortfall to do aw ay w ith U d e M teams

Guard Rick Varisco proved his worth to the McGill Redmen Basketball team by landing almost a third of his team’s points in a 74-56 victory over the Bishop’s Gaiters, at the Currie Gym, last Saturday.

Varisco, whose name did not even appear in this week’s McGill basketball press release, amassed 23 points to help the Red and White boost its league record to five wins and two losses.

The Redmen dominated the Gaiters in the early going, taking a virtually insurmountable 49-25 first session lead.

Todd McDougall contributed 18 points to the McGill cause.

The Redmen are back on the courts on Friday, February 11th, at 8:30 PM at Concordia’s Loyola Gym to challenge the third-ranked Stingers.

Yves Therrien, Director of Student Services at the Université de Montréal was categoric: “At this stage, we know that students are not willing to support student sports.”

Therrien was interpreting the results from a Léger et Léger poll conducted in November at the U de M to evaluate student opinions about the provision of student services at the university.

The poll was commandeered by the Fédération des Associations Etudiantes du Cam­ pus de l’Université de Montréal (FAECUM) and will serve to guide the FAECUM and Student Services as they set their future priorities.

Geneviève-Catherine Béland, the general delegate to the FAECUM, was quick to point out that the decision “does not mean that even if students are not ready to increase funding for [intercollegiate] sports teams, that they are not willing to support them period.”

But, Robert Boucher the U de M’s director of sports services, suggested that intercollegiate sports teams cannot function without a serious commitment by students or the university. In September 1994, the U de M will cease to contribute to the budgets of these teams and the poll results suggest that student services will do the same. If this were the case, the intercollegiate program would lose almost 200,000 dollars of its 250,000 dollar budget.

The Department of Sports Services’ Management Committee will deter­ mine next month whether to continue operating the U de M’s four intercolegiate teams, those being men’s and women’s swimming and volleyball.

In door fie ld hockey team second at B ishop s Despite three wins, it only took one loss to keep the McGill indoor field hockey team’s hands off the winning trophy at the five-team Bishop’s University Indoor Field Hockey Tournament last weekend in Lennoxville.

Only Quebec’s senior team, the eventual winner, managed to better the Martlets, who ended up second overall with a 3-1 record.

McGill’s top scorer for the tournament was Yvette Macabuaug, whose efforts were supported by rookie Jessica Barnett’s deuce.

The indoor field hockey league continues play at Carleton University on the weekend of February 19th.

The McGill women’s bas­ ketball team fought their way out of a disappointing first half to defeat the Bishop’s Lady Gaiters 72-51 at the Currie gymnasium last Saturday night, maintaining their undefeated status in Que­ bec University Basketball League (QUBL) play.

The team received a scare when their top scorer, Vicky Tessier, suffered a minor knee injury in the first 10 minutes of play and was forced to miss the remainder of the game. Before the injury, Tessier was three-forthree inside the paint and well on her way to another fine per­ formance.

Bishop’s managed to capi­

talize on McGill’s disrupted game plan, keeping the Martlets’ lead down to only eight points at the half. Lady Gaiter Stacey Ryan kept the game close by shooting three-for-three from three point range in the first twenty minutes.

Bishop’s Melissa Frankovitch, who finished the game with 22 points, was also a key factor in the close 35-27 first session score.

Martlet first year forward Alyson Slater summed up the shaky first half well.

“It was pretty scary,” she said. “Without Vicky [Tessier], someone else had to step up their game and put some points on the board.”

That “someone”turned out to be second year Kingston na­ tive Lesley Stevenson, who fin­

ished the game with a career high 20 points and five rebounds.

Her characteristically aggressive play at both ends of the court sparked the team into playing the McGill-style basketball which has them ranked sixth in the nation, and which eventually led to the win.

It became a team-oriented effort as everyone participated and all but one McGill player scored. Rookie guard Jennifer Stacey racked up 12 points for the winning cause, and Martina Vander Vlist and Anne Guildenhuys finished with 11 and Vicky Tessier barrels to basket 9 points respectively.

B Y K A SH IF ZAHOOR With only four games re­ maining in the Reason, the McGill Redmen’s playoff hopes are fad­ ing quickly. The Redmen had things going their way for two weeks in January. During those two weeks, McGill posted a 4-0 record, had back to back shut­ outs from Richard Boscher and Patrick Jeanson.

Unfortunately, last w eek was an entirely different story.

Losing three o f four, the Redmen w ere pushed to the brink o f elimi­ nation, despite an overall w in­ ning record.

T he dismal w eek began with a 3-2 loss at Kingston to the Q u een ’s G olden Gaels. Still feel­ ing the effects o f the dishearten­ ing setback, the Redmen cam e to play the 10th ranked and highly feared Université du Q u éb ec à T ro is -R iv iè re s P a trio te s la st W ednesday night. McGill was looking to capture their first win against the Patriotes this season (they suffered a 3-2 loss at home and dropped a 4-1 decision at UQTR).

McGill found itself in trou­

C r o s s

ble early in the game. Only two minutes elapsed before TroisRivières found its way onto the scoreboard. In the Redmen zone, left winger Stéphane Paradis di­ rected a faceoff back to Alain Côté, at the point who ripped a shot toward the goal. Patrick Genest redi­ rected the slapshot into the net for a 1-0 UQTR advan­ tage.

The Patriotes would add two more goals before the end of the first with the score 3-

“Conditions for the ski were very poor, there was very hard snow, ice was broken into large chunks so it gaves us a rough time,”said McGill’s Chris Sumner regarding the bad conditions that led to his team’s poor showing at last weekend’s Ottawa Citizen Winterlude WinterTriathlon race in Ottawa.

“I was frustrated because if you have all these chunks it is difficult to have a good push. I had to use a technique called double polling. It’s made usu­ ally to go downhill so it slowed me down,” he added.

Sumner couldn’t place him­ self among the top finishers, but his teammate Dave Currie came in fourteenth place with a time of 1.06. Sam Butter grabbed eighteenth place with a time of 1.07.

The triathlon was part of Ottawa’s Winterlude festival, a midwinter series of events in the nation’s capital.

The race was composed of a seven-kilometre skate on the rideau canal, eight kilometres of cross country skiing and a sevenkilometre run.

After the races, last Sunday night, both Sumner and team President Steve Gentles ex­ pressed different opinions to the Tribune about the vocational aspect of the McGill Nordic ski

riod. McGill could only counter with Laquerre’s 101st point, on his ninth goal of the season. The Patriotes outshot the Redmen, 36-29, for the game.

McGill tried to revive their winning ways last Fri­ day against the Ryerson Rams who had previ© ously managed only 25 two wins all C "Qs e a s o n ,

“McGill is too much a main­ stream university in terms of sports, and since we don’t re­ ceive much from the athletic department, we can’t prove our­ selves,” said Sumner. “We are not supported by McGill. We have a lot of talent. A few weeks ago, one of our skiers in Ottawa came second in the Nakkertok

“r e c s ” a t W race. But we haven’t had much opportunity to race with other universities.”

Gentles disagrees with Sumner.

“We are categorized as a recreational club, so the budget we receive is very small, I don’t really disagree with that,” he explained. “The main problem we have to face is the fact that

“We could go in Ontario but it’s a 5-8 hours long [journey] and it costs a lot,”Gentles added.

“We’ve [written] to other Que­ bec universities about a Quebec circuit but there doesn’t seem to be a favorable answer. Since the club has a recreationnal part and a competitve part, there

fired the game winner with nine minutes to go in the game.

The Redmen finally brought their three game losing skid to a halt thanks to the offensive punch provided by rookie forward Kelly Nobes against Laurentian in an 87 triumph.

Nobes scored a goal and had an assist in the game against the Voyageurs. His return to the lineup last week led to more scoring chances and points on the scoreboard.

McGill (12-8) plays a key divisional game against Concordia on Tuesday, February 8th, at 4:30 PM at the Forum in the annual Corey Cup. In order to make the playoffs, the Redmen need to finish at least third in their divi­ sion. Four games remain in the season, with two against the thirdplace Stingers. Three points sepa­ rate the Redmen and Concordia, who can clinch third place and eliminate McGill with a win and a McGill loss this Friday at TroisRivières. With McGill’s track record against the Patriotes this year, the Redmen’s season will most probably be decided on Tuesday.
