W right ruffles feathers at SSMU P r o g r a m m in g

BY M IC H A E L BROADHURST P rom pted by com m ents made by Students’Society (SSMU) VP Internal Cornell Wright, which appeared in last w eek’s Tribune ("Wright rights wrong at SSMU Programming”-Sept. 14-20), Wel­ com e W eek Co-Chairs Angie Scrannage andjoanne Thompson have resigned from SSMU Pro­ gramming, the SSMU group re­ sponsible for organizing many of SSMU’s events.

Wright criticized the Wel­ com e W eek committee, citing a lack of communication betw een Programming and his office, as well as a lack of effort on the part of the organizers to recruit new volunteers and introduce new events for Welcome Week.

Scrannage was appointed to be one o f two Programming Assistants to Keith Gallop, the new Programming and Market­ ing Coordinator (PMC) for SSMU. Thom pson had intended to con­ tinue working at Programming throughout the coming year.

“I’m disappointed that [the Welcome Week organizers] de­ cided not to participate this year,” Wright said. “Normally w hat has happened is that they have gone

on to play very active roles in Programming.”

W right m ain tain ed th at there is a problem with the way SSMU Programming functioned in the p ast “When people come to the table at Activities ‘I signed u p last year and no one ever called m e’, that’s a problem in my view,” he said, referring to Programming’s al­ leged inability to assimilate people interested in vol­ unteering.

A m o n g W rig h t’s m ajor concerns was the lack of communi­ cation that existed this sum m er b e­ tw een Program ­ ming and his office. Last year, SSMU created the PMC position in order to remove som e of the Programming burden from the VP Internal.

“It’s shocking w hat was passed last year,” he said. “If the VP Internal doesn’t play a crucial role in Programming then I d o n ’t know what he or she should do. "

Scrannage, w ho is also VP Academic Affairs of the Arts Un­ dergraduate Society, argued that Wright should not have addressed his concerns with Programming by first speaking to SSMU coun­ cillors at a September 9th council

“I just didn’t appreciate the w ay he handled it,” she said.

“There w ere som e statements in the [Tribune1 article that w eren’t true. T here w ere som e new events.”

T h om pson ag reed w ith Scrannage, noting that Wright’s handling o f the issue was the major factor in her decision to

leave Programming.

“Many o f Cornell’s com­ ments in the article w ere misin­ form ed,” she said. “We had 23 people on our organizing com­ mittee, and 20 o f them w ere new.

“I have only volunteered for event, so I don’t con­ sider myself part o f a ‘c liq u e ’, ” Thompson added.

B o t h T h o m p so n an d S c ra n n ag e b e ­ lieved that Wright did not appreciate the success of Wel­ come Week.

“I feel it went really well, and I’ve gotten nothing but p o sitiv e co m m e n t s , ” Thompson said.

PMC Keith Gallop did not an­ ticipate any significant problems at Programming. However, he expressed regret that Thompson and Scrannage would no longer be working with Programming.

“Programming is in a very good position now,” Gallop said.

“They [Thompson and Scrannagel are both very talented individuals who I enjoyed working with.”

SSMU President Mark Luz expressed regret over the out­ come of the incident “I don’t lay any blame on either side,” he said. “From w hat I saw there were a lot of new volun­ teers. Maybe workload got in the way of communication — that can happen,” he said.

Luz added that Scrannage and Thompson would be missed at SSMU. “Angie andjoanne were two of the most dedicated volunteers that the Students’ Society ever had,” he noted.

Thompson was particularly angry with the way in which Wright handled the situation.

“If he’s so in touch with students, he could have come to us,” she remarked. “I definitely didn’t report to him as often as I should have, but he could have come down to [the Programming] office more often.

“It was the whole issue of him saying things to the Tribune and not saying anything to us. I wonder what kind of impression he’s leaving on all the students that he wants to volunteer,” she added.

B oth S c ra n n ag e and Thompson plan to remain active in other campus activities.

H a ra ssm e n t re g u la tio n s in n e e d o f o v e rh a u l tion, recom m ends a course o f action to the Principal.

T he m ajor problem w ith this system is that a single asses­ sor* can reject a claim w ithout consultation, a n d w ithout for­ m al guidelines. T he stu d en t com plainant is left w ith no re­ course.

This is w h e re the system breaks dow n. Even if the asses­ sor recom m ends action to the Principal, h e o r sh e is no t b o u n d b y th e recom m endations o f the assessor, a n d m ay review the files in ord er to d eterm ine if disciplinary action is w arranted.

Therefore, b o th the Principal and the assessor have the p o w er to reject the claim outright.

W hen this h ap p en s, the case is closed — no disciplinary b o ard hearing follow s this decision.

T he com plainant cannot bring his or her case to a n o th er asses­ sor, n o r can h e o r sh e appeal th e decision of the assessor or th e Principal.

If the Principal determ ines that a disciplinary b o ard h ear­ ing is necessary, the case is considered d e novo, an d the accused is o n ce again given the chance to clear his or h er nam e.

Even if the charges are substantiated at this level, the

accused m ay still resort to an arbitration b o ard . This brings to four the n u m b er o f op p o rtu n i­ ties to clear him self o r herself w hile th e com plainant is al­ lo w ed at m ost tw o chances to p ro v e guilt.

T w o difficulties arise from this system . First, th e university unnecessarily ex poses itself to civil liability — McGill can be h eld liable in a civil suit if the court decides that the univer­ sity policy is lacking in educa­ tion program s, m onitoring the b eh a v io u r o f their em ployees, o r for unnecessarily delaying th e assessm ent process. Sec­ ond, a great deal o f time is w aste d during the assessm ent process.

If a case is considered an ew after the Principal renders his o r h er decision, w hat is the p o in t o f th e first stage? It w ould a p p e a r that nothing is accom ­ plished b y this process except as m any cases bein g dism issed as quickly as possible.

A dditionally, the Sexual H arassm ent Regulations contain n o pream b le w ith a statem ent o f McGill’s op p o sitio n to sexual harassm ent, an d n o explicit defi­ nition o f w hat constitutes sexual harassm ent. T hese are essential

elem en ts o f any harassm en t policy, according to legal ex­ pert Arjun A ggerw al. Therefore, b o th th e university assessors a n d th e Principal are given little direction by th e policy, and they act in w hat SSMU correctly d e s c rib e s as a “p ro c e d u ra l v acu u m ”.

McGill’s education cam ­ paign against sexual harassm ent is n o tab le for its lack o f direc­ tion. M em bers o f the McGill com m unity are told n o t to toler­ ate sexual harassm ent, w h en they sh o u ld b e told not to h a r­ ass. T h e university do es very little to ed u cate stu dents ab out the n atu re o f sexual harassm ent o n this cam pus, also essential to an y p olicy a c co rd in g to Aggerwal. As a result o f the inactivity o f th e university in this area, several student groups, including SSMU, h ave ad o p ted the educational role on cam ­ pus.

Sexual harassm ent is a se­ rious accusation, an d is often so subtle that it is extrem ely diffi­ cult to prove. McGill’s g u ide­ lines are in ten d ed to protect professors a n d o th er staff from w h a t they believe w o u ld b e an end less procession o f students m aliciously accusing them of

i n a p p r o p r ia t e b e h a v io u r .

H ow ever, excessive p ro tec­ tion for th e accused d o es little to en courage victims to report incidents o f sexual harassm ent b ecau se it is so difficult to prove m isconduct o f this nature.

It is patently unfair for th e accused to b e given four op p o rtu n ities to prove their in n o cen ce w h e n th e co m ­ plainant is given only tw o op p o rtu n ities to pro v e guilt.

Not only d o es this discourage th e filing o f reports, it also tilts th e scales o f justice in th e direction o f harassers.

Changing the regulations to give equal treatm ent to b o th sides is a w in-w in situa­ tion for th e adm inistration.

Not only w o u ld they im prove their position w h e re liability is co n cerned, they w o u ld also b e treating students com plain­ ants an d resp o n d en ts o n a level playing field. Students sh o u ld ex p ect n o less.

Warning to all hungry students: Pizza Hut sucks. No, I m ean really. It w as lunch time; I w a s famished. I thought I’d try the pizza. As I remi­ nisced about Monday’s special allyou-can-eat ch eesy glop py Pizza Hut pies. (O f course that w as in Ottawa. It w ou ld b e too m uch to propose such an event on campus, right?) So any­ w ay, I h eaded d o w n to the Alley. Well actually I fled: the n ew salm onesque decor o f G erfs w as | qq repulsive. The Alley too n o w looks trashy. They w o n ’t even m ake ready m ade sand­ w ich es for you anymore. N o w they m ake them in the m orning and store them in the fridge. Apparently the Alley is too understaffed to serve fresh f o o d Okay, so I stood in line for about 15 minutes (too long) on ly to pay $2.99 plus tax for a “suprem e” pan pizza. Supreme piece o f shit is more like it It w as smaller than a frisbee; it w a s the size o f a small danish, or a

hamburger bun. A nd w hat scanty toppings! It w as not worth three bucks.

Look, Tm a small person. I d on ’t eat a lot. Usually a McDonald’s ch eese­ burger is en ou gh for m e. And that crappy crusty tasteless disk o f “pizza” didn’t even soothe the h ollow pit o f m y stomach. In fact it gave m e gas.

And it made m e angry. W hy the hell is Pizza Hut allow ed to invade cam ­ pus with its shoddy wares? W hy are they taking advantage o f starving students? W hy can’t they offer a real deal? Or at least quality food for the price? Bring back made-to-order sand­ w ich es instead! You know , the sign outside the Shatner Student Union Building should not read- “Pizza Hut! N o w O pen'” Rather, “Pizza Hut! N o w Ripping You Off!” An irate student o n a quest for a go o d meal, Ritu Prasad U3 Psychology

T he office o f Director o f Libraries Eric Ormsby m ade the renovation request d u e to library security’s concerns that they w ere unable to prevent sm oking in the library stacks.

“If you d o n ’t provide a p lace to sm oke, [people will] sm oke anyw ay, and d o dam age,” Ormsby said. “At least n o w w e k n ow w here they are.”

Elizabeth Mader, Library Administrative Officer, said the cost o f the project will b e quickly b e recovered by not having to hire extra staff to patrol the library. She estim ated that ev en by hiring so m eo n e at m inim um w age, the cost w ou ld be m ade up in tw o m onths.

“I gu ess this room is kind o f appropriate,” she noted. “It’s all clo sed o ff in glass like a coffin.”

The CCFF w a s established in I960 and sponsors extensive research and treatment programs across Canada. The foundation’s ultimate objective is to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis.

The Shinerama event, w hich began with a three dollars per plate breakfast hosted by CHOM 97.7, raised a total o f $2,333. Later that day proceed s from m assage clinics and a raffle sp onsored by the B ody Shop raised an additional $1,042.

Boulevard St-Laurent old-timers share memories of a community

BY M A T T H E W S IN G E R

Main.

Over the years, the Main has served as a cultural centre for many different communities. The Tribune spoke to residents w ho rem em ber the days w hen the area was the focal point of the Jewish community.

Outside of cam pus itself, it is hard to think of a place which is more firmly a part of the McGill student’s landscape than Boul­ evard St-Laurent. A walk u p this multicultural and trendy boul­ evard is a tour of many of the shops, restaurants, and bars which students frequent on their off hours and weekends. Many stu­ dents live in the district around the boulevard, choosing to live closer to the Main (as St-Laurent is know n by locals) than to cam­ pus.

While it may be easy for a student, especially an out-oftowner, to imagine that the dis­ trict has always been like this, the fact is it hasn’t. If anything serves as tangible proof of the district’s past, it is a fenced-off lot just south of Bagg Street. Amidst the bars and shops for which the district is known, this lot, cov­ ered with slabs of granite, is a distinctly un-hip anomaly on the Main. Signs in French and He­ brew letters announce the lot as L. Berson et Fils, Monuments, founded in 1922. Some of those slabs of granite are clearly tomb­ stones. Berson’s Monuments is probably the oldest continuouslyrunning family business on the

Marvin Berson, the grand­ son of L. Berson and current owner of the business points outside his window.

“See the Main?” he asks.

“See out there? Back in the ‘30’s, the '40’s, even the ‘50’s, every store was a Jewish store.”

Berson takes a breath, and then starts listing off the different businesses w hich used to dot the landscape.

“You go down Roy Street, [it] was the chicken district....

Waldman, the Waldman broth­ ers, Benny and Morris, they were there, like almost forever. Along St. Lawrence [the original English name of St-Laurent] just about every second door was a butcher shop- a kosher butcher shop.

They don’t exist here anymorethey’re gone. The Main restau­ rant was across the street, w here you have the dollar store- that was Kravitz’s. Warshaw’s was half the size- a quarter the size! It was a little hole in the wall.”

Directly across the street from Berson’s stands another re­ m in d er o f the M ain’s p astSchwartz’s Deli, as much of a Montreal landmark as anything in Old Montreal. Schwartz’s has been in operation since 1931, and it still uses its original recipe for sm oked meat. The current longest-serving em p lo y ee at Schwartz’s is John “Johnny” Haim, w ho immigrated to Montreal from Romania in 1964. He started working at Schwartz’s that year.

Haim reminisced on w hat the

R E A D IN G A N D S T U D Y S K IL L S F A L L S E M E S T E R ’9 3

neighborhood was like w hen he started working at Schwartz’s.

“Way back 30 years ago most of our customers where the Jewish clientele, they used to live around here, but you know, now it’s changed,” he said. “I could tell you, before it was like 80 per cent Jews, and 20 per cent the other nationalities. Now it’s the other way around, you have m aybe 20 per cent Jews and 80 per cent whatever. Especially, w e’ve got like 50 to 60 per cent French people, [and] they’re very good custom ers.”

Berson’s and Schwartz’s are am ong the few remaining land­ marks of the Main. After the once strong garm ent and manufactur­ ing industries, along with most of the Jew ish population, moved out in the 1950’s, successive waves of Greek, and then Portu­ guese, immigrants dom inated the district. Now the district is multi­ ethnic, with no one ethnic group dominating. And, of course, there are the students. The Main re­ flects this diversity — the bars, shops, and restaurants are con­ stantly changing with the dis­ trict.

Haim is not particularly sat­ isfied with the current state of the street.

“That’s a no-good thing, I d o n ’t like it,” he said. “There are all those goddam ned things, the bars- too many bars. Sometimes it’s like a zoo here. You know, you have a few drinks, you get in the fighting mood. I w ouldn’t like to have these kind of people.

A sign o f times gone by w hen they come out of the bars drunk at tw o in the morning — they do more damage than good. ” However, Berson takes a m ore p h ilo so p h ical view of

events.

“Like I said , th e area ch an g es,” he said. “And w e change with it. We get older.

Thai’s it.”

The Tribune cashes up w ith A n d rew

BY K A T R IN A O N S T A D Andrew Cash is jaded. But the T oronto singer-songwriter doesn’t like that title.

“You’re the third person w ho’s said that to me today,” he m oaned w hen I m ade the obser­ vation.

But what does the guy ex­ pect? He started on the mean streets of Toronto in the punk outfit L’Etranger, and his first solo album includes lyrics like: “There are people beating bits of roots into bits o f food/their land now w atered with coca-cola.” Not exactly Up With People.

Two records later, in 1989, Boomtoum hit the stores. O n this third effort, Cash’s political na­ ture was som ew hat buried b e­ neath pretty, even (dare w e say it’) country-type sounds. Weirdly enough, the peripheral Cash (this is the guy w ho spent a year honing his craft with weekly acoustic sets at the Spadina Ho­ tel) found himself swimming in the mainstream. His music was suddenly being played in that musical netherworld known as ‘adult contem porary.’

“I found that I was being slotted too m uch in the main­ stream, and I felt it w asn’t accu­ rate,” Cash told the Tribune horn.

h is T o ro n to hom e. “If it had been ac­ c u ra te , I ’d p ro b a b ly b e very rich by now .”

So Cash to o k so m e time off. In the in te rim , h e started a fam­ ily, w ro te a bunch of songs and came up with Hi. With this disc, Cash no longer has to w orry ab o u t b e in g s a n d ­ w ic h e d b e ­ tween Michael B o lto n a n d Mariah Carey on th a t d re a d e d AM station.//«fea­ tures a new A ndrew Cash: the man w ith the big gu itar band, the Lit­ tle Ones, and a harder sound of treatment." than usually associated w ith The ‘treatm ent’ ranges from Andrew Cash. the dark, guitar-centred “John “It’s a reflection of me feel­ Endicott”, to the Sloan-like ga­ ing a lot more intense about rage harmonies of “This Is”. But things,” Cash said. “The songs w hat’s most interesting about this just naturally called for this kind disc is its sense o f spontaneity.

Boomtoum, with its cover image o f Brooding Guy by Railroad Tracks, was bogged dow n by an earnestness which is thankfully lacking on Hi. The new playfulness is largely due to the new band, according to Cash.

“We wanted to get an inte­ grated band together as opposed to just shit-hot session players w ho w ould have no vested inter­ est in the music, w hich is a trap you can get into as a so-called solo artist,” Cash asserted. “And it really came together. It’s a solid thing.”

The choice of ex-Blue Ro­ deo keyboardist Bob Wiseman as co-producer was both a musi­ cal and a political decision for Cash.

“I w anted to find som eone w ho hadn’t been polluted by the music business, som eone w ho could just look at the songs for w hat they were, as opposed to trying to find out what song would be the hit single so he could m ake a name for himself,” he said.

Cash has little interest in bow ing to the recording indus­ try.

“I’ve always tried to paint som e sort of critique of North American consum er culture,” he

said.

So it’s no surprise that Andrew Cash responds to the prospect of mass success with a flip remark.

“Well, I w ant the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup, and if they do, then great, and if they do n ’t, then it’s not the end of the world, ” he said.

But the big time may not be so far away. The loose produc­ tion o f Hi gives the album a party feel that could appeal to crowds at both Gert’s and the Alley (think of the Tragically Hip). Still, be­ cause it’s the work of Andrew Cash, it’s not just frat boy tuneage.

“I think sometimes we mis­ take justifiable anger for cyni­ cism, and I think there’s a lot of justifiable anger on the record,” said Cash. “I’m not actually cyni­ cal and I do n ’t write from that point of view, but I think if you love the culture that you’re from, which I do, then you have to say that there’s something wrong with it, that it’s sick. To not do that is far more cynical, I think. To pre­ tend that everything is fine is very irresponsible and dam aging.”

A ndrew Cash a n d the Little Ones appear Wednesday, Sep­ tember 2 2 at Club Soda (5240 Parc) with Good.Cookies. Only 5$.

Quebec painter Lemieux casts a “Gaze o f Dissidence”

BY EM M A N U ELL E LATRAVERSE Quebec painter Jean-Paul Lemieux silently says great things, making his work disquieting in­ stead o f p u re ly d ec o rativ e.

Whether one feels anguish, soliu d e or peace, no one remains jntouched by his art. The most ,'xtensive retrospective dedicated o Lemieux is on display at Musée les Beaux Arts until October 31st tnd offers an engaging look at the vork of a unique visionary.

Universal themes of time ind space constitute the core of .emieux’s emotive preoccupaions. His work explores the relaionship between the individual n d the environment. Is this the îsual clichéd reflection on “the neaning of life” and the human ondition? Maybe. But Lemieux ::a ves these inquiries unanswered nd thereby worthy of ongoing eflection.

What is so striking about em ieux’s art is how the economy >f artistic means reinforces his nessage. The empty and desperte glance of some of his charac;rs will invade the viewer indefilitely.

The exhibit originated in

Quebec city last year, travelled to Regina, and is now at Musée des Beaux Arts. The m useum ’s Cura­ tor of Canadian Art, Yves Laçasse, believed the exhibit speaks vol­ umes about the artist’s environ­ m ent “Chronologically organized, it illustrates the artist's evolution as a reflection of the social and artistic changes of our era, ” Laçasse said.

Born in Quebec City in 1904, Lemieux studied at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Montréal. After traveling in Europe and the United States, he returned to teach in Quebec, devoted himself to his art ,and rapidly achieved interna­ tional acclaim.

Always a step to the side of the mainstream, Lemieux himself saidb “the modern tendencies of contemporary art don’t awaken my curiosity.” Still, in order to attain a style of his own, Lemieux incorporated the influence of vari­ ous schools of art into a personal vision.

The works can be divided into four periods. In Montreal (1926-1937), Lemieux matured as an artist and was influenced by the Group of Seven. After exploring the challenges of modem paint­

ing, the artist moved to Quebec City and entered a primitive and satirical period (1940-1949). In­ spired by the American Social Re­ alists, he openly denounced his society’s conservatism.

Next came the flourish of his figurative period (1956-1970) for which he is best known. These paintings often possess a stark and minimalist tone and use of themes.

Afterwards, in his expressionist period (1970-1990), Lemieux voiced an even stronger rejection of the social values of the Cold War period.

In this final stage, Lemieux, like many artists, attempted to break the boundaries of his own style.

His paintings capture the core of the existential paradox and the tension between the individual and society which pervade much of his work.

Due to its accessibility and popularity, Lemieux’s art has fre­ quently been copied by secondclass artists who are unable to duplicate his vision. Its original force eroded, Lemieux’s art began to slip to the position of the strictly decorative (due to its copied form) and drew negative reactions from critics. Fortunately, this exhibit captures Lemieux’s art as origi­

nally conceived and allows visi­ tors a fresh perspective.

The only negative aspect about this exhibit is the absence of audio-guides or explanatory panels due to b u d g e t re ­ strictions and th e m u s e ­ um ’s desire to preserve the exhibit in its original con­ dition.

V ie w ­ ing the ex ­ hibit with a “c o n n o i s ­ seur” might make a thor­ ough analysis easier to ob­ tain, or view­ ers can let their imagi­ nations inter­ pret the magnifice n t w o rld of Je a n -P a u l Lemieux on its own.

T h e Lemieux ex­ h ib it is a t

Musée des B eaux Arts de Mon­ treal, 1379 Sherbrooke St. W. through October 31st. Tickets are $9.50 fo r adults a n d $4.75 fo r students.

Atwood (and Gibson) spread a little Canadian culture

BY L IS A SA R O L I Some p eo p le might think the phrase “Canadian culture” is a n o x y m o ro n . B ut th o s e naysayers w ould have b een si­ lenced by Margaret A tw ood’s app earan ce at Place des Arts on Septem ber 13th.

As part of the 14th annual Canadian Culture Series, Atwood, o n e o f English C anada’s most prolific and unforgettable writ­ ers, read from h er latest work, The Robber Bride. She shared

the spotlight with author and husband Graem e Gibson, w ho presented his fourth novel, Gen­ tlem an Death.

G ib so n , a lth o u g h fre ­ quently upstaged by his famous spouse, rem ains critically ac­ claimed. In opening remarks, he w as described as “an unflagging figure in the Canadian cultural and literary scene.”

Yet Gibson walked so casu­ ally onto the stage, w earing jeans and a shirt, that I thought he w as part of the crew. With an unas-

sum ing air, h e rem oved his hat, sat dow n at the table on the stage, and quietly w aited for the reading to begin.

Unfortunately, this sam e unobtrusive presence w as ech­ oed in his reading voice, which w as decidedly dull. T he excerpts from his book w ere undeniably intriguing, bu t the crow d was clearly waiting for Atwood.

Atw ood sw ooped onto the stage after a lengthy, and fairly redundant introduction. Any­ one w ho b o thered to show up already knew that “the only Ca­ nadian author w ho is a h ouse­ hold nam e,” to quote the intro­ duction, has the O rder of Canada, and is a two-tim e B ooker Prize nom inee for The H andm aid's Tale and for Cat's Eye. Underm ining h er reputa­ tion as being ‘harsh,’ Atwood w on over the crow d instantly.

After brief remarks in French, she sto p p ed and grinned at the audience: “So what do you think?

Am I as good as Kim Campbell?” she draw led in her well enunci­ ated tones. “My big inspiration w as Jo e Clark.” T he crow d roared its approval.

T he four excerpts Atwood read, all from The Robber Bride, w e re w ritten w ith th e b len d o f fresh language, crystal-clear im­ ages, an d A tw ood’s special b ra n d o f h u m o u r that readers have co m e to expect. Each excerpt w as uniquely m em o­ rable, especially th e incident involving a certain toboggan.

In a question perio d fol­ low ing A tw ood’s reading, she receiv ed th e m ost attention from th e largely female, all­ ages audience.

U p front, th e slyly h u ­ m orous A tw ood inform ed the

cro w d th at sh e has “m ad e a resolution n ever to m ake a th e ­ sis statem ent o f h er w orks." She leaves this to others.

“It gives them som ething to d o ,” sh e told th e crow d. “It k ee p s th em off th e streets.”

A w o m an stu d en t h esi­ tantly ask ed an ex p ected but nevertheless risky question, due to A tw ood’s p en ch an t for sh arp answ ers.

“D o you co n sider y o u r­ self a fem inist?,” ask e d th e w om an.

A tw ood, w ho has w ritten novel after novel filled w ith strong heroines, shot b ack that it d e p e n d e d on “w ho w as ask­ ing and w h y .”

H ow ever, h er final state­ m ent o n this issue su m m ed up the A tw ood perspective nicely. , “W om en are h u m an b e ­ ings.”

BY K A S H IF Z A H O O R The Concordia Stingers, still a bit weary from their dishearten­ ing last-second defeat against Bishop’s two weeks ago, came to Molson Stadium for the seventh annual Shrine Bowl looking to avenge the opening-day loss. The ninth-ranked McGill Redmen, having escaped with a win against Carleton in their O-QIFC opener, had other plans as they w on a hard fought game over Concordia 29-24, raising their record to 2-0.

The Redmen special teams set u p McGill’s first score after Franz W ellington b lo ck ed a Concordia punt at the Stinger 17yard line. McGill then proceeded to draw first blood on an 11-yard field goal by Andrew Boon.

T h e r e s ilie n t S tin g e rs m arched 75 yards on the very next possession to notch a tally giving Concordia a 7-3 edge, a lead they held at the end o f the of the first quarter. The impressive Stinger drive was capped by an 11-yardTD run by Farell Duclaire.

Duclaire led the Stingers on the ground with 80 yards on 17 car­ ries.

The Redmen offensive out­ put continued to rest heavily upon Boon’s foot for the next two quarters as he connected on field goals of 30, 16, 42, and 45 yards to give the Redmen a 15-7 advan­ tage after three quarters of play.

Boon was 5 for 6 for the after­

R ookie se n sa tio n C had Luedtke led McGill’s balanced offensive attack with 123 yards rushing on only 16 carries, earn­ ing him McGill’s Shrine Bowl MVP honors.

Pat Sheahan, Head Coach of the Stingers, felt the Redmen were a good squad that put forth a solid perform ance in their win against his Stingers.

“McGill didn’t make a criti­ cal error. They have a history of m aking a critical mistake in the second half that will allow you back into the game... McGill is going to be a very solid team ,” observed Sheahan.

McGill now heads into next Saturday’s game against Bishop’s in a battle betw een the confer­ ence’s top team s The Gaiters ham m ered Q ueen’s 34-7 in their game last week, after narrowly defeating Concordia in the sea­ son opener.

R ed m en H e a d C o a c h Charlie Baillie w elcom es the chance to play Bishop’s for first place.

“It is going to b e a great game. They beat Q u een ’s by 24 points so they’ve got to be good.

We always play Bishop’s well.

We’re looking forward to it,” con­ cluded Baillie.

Future looks promising for McGill cross-country team

BY KEN SC O T T Coming off the team time trials last weekend, McGill’s cross­ country team was full o f fresh new faces looking forward to the running season ahead.

The team ’s first meet at the University of Western Ontario on Saturday provided coach Dennis Barrett with some idea of what to expect from a group of rookies w ho have little experience, but a lot of promise.

McGill veteran Linda Thyer, w ho appears to be progressing n ic e ly a fte r c o n tra c tin g m ononucleosis during the sum ­ mer, was victorious in leading the young Martlets to a sixth place finish. The result left Barrett optimistic about the future.

“It was a good perform­ ance. They had a tough time since it was their first meet. They handled themselves quite well under the circumstances and a little m o re e x p e rie n c e w ill heighten their confidence,” com ­ m ented Barrett.

Pat Merrin, w ho was forced to withdraw early in the race after suffering a hamstring injury, b e­ lieved that even though the race was difficult, it w ould help the team in the long run.

“It’s tough to get going but it’s a good way to get into the season," said Merrin. “It’s good for the team but it’s not a fun way to do it.”

The rest of the m en’s team included Brad Young, 38th, Doug Penick, 79th, Mark Trudel, 81st, and Alex Hutchison, w ho ended up 86th.

Next up for the runners is the McGill Invitational m eet at Mount Royal on Saturday. Start­ ing times are 11AM for the w om ­ e n ’s four kilom etre race and 11:30AM for the m en’s six kilo­ metre contest.

Among those team s ex ­ pected to challenge McGill on their hom e turf are Western, Laval University, and the very strong University of Sherbrooke team, which Merrin predicted may yet be in for some stiff com petition on the road to the provincials.

“In five weeks I think w e ’ll be able to give Sherbrooke a run for their m oney,” said Merrin.

True sailors looking to show U.S. th e m eaning o f True North

BY C H A R L E S THOM AS Sailing m ay h ave taken Christopher Cross away to w here h e w anted to go, b u t for those on the McGill sailing team the only way to go is fast.

The McGill sailing team is the new est intercollegiate sports team at McGill. It w as form ed in w inter 1992-1993, to com pete in the New England intercollegiate circuit this past spring.

The team was founded by Montreal natives Anthony Sta­ ples, a m em ber o f the Q uébec provincial sailing team , and Caroline Brisebois, a m em ber of C anada’s national sailing team.

Brisebois, a U2 Industrial Relations student and Staples, a U3 Economics student, hoped to give University-aged students the opportunity to develop their skills and continue com petitive racing during their university years.

“W e realized that as soon as school started, there w ere a lot o f people w ho simply stopped sailing because there w ere no opportunities,” said Staples. “The U.S. are the best in the w orld and they do a lot o f developm ent

Oh yea, w ell eat my mist, buddy

th ro u g h th e [in te rc o lle g ia te level].” Canada has no univer­ sity-level sailing association.

Not to b e left high and dry, however, Staples and Brisebois approached the New England Inter-collegiate Sailing Associa­ tion (NEISA) and w ere quickly

accepted on the com petitive cir­ cuit.

“They’ve allow ed us in as an associate m em b er,” com ­ m ented Staples. “W e can do all th e re g a tta s e x c e p t th e intersectionals.”

McGill is the only Cana­ dian school in NEISA. The repu­ tation o f the applicants may have

contributed to their quick admis­ sion into the association.

“Caroline spent a lot of time com peting in the U.S., so she knew a lot o f p eople dow n there.

McGill’s reputation helped a lot too,” said Staples.

Boston College am ong its most notable members.

Having international cali­ bre racing right on their d o o r­ step m ade the decision to join the U.S. association that m uch easier.

“W e’re so close to Boston, w e ’d b e passing u p such a good opportunity to com pete against the best in the w orld,” affirmed Staples.

Despite their elite o p p o ­ nents, McGill should fare quite w ell, with strong performers join­ ing the team this year.

British Virgin Islands na­ tive Robby Hirst will don McGill colours this year. Hirst partici­ pated at the 1992 Olympic Games and took sixth place at the 1991 PanAm Games. Not to b e o u t­ done is Jam ie Boyden, a m em ­ b er of C anada’s national team.

“I’m confident that tw o or three of o u r Laser [class] sailors will qualify for the Atlantic Coast Cham pionships. If they do well, they can go on to the U.S. na tional cham pionships,” said Sta­ ples.

Up to this point in the season, the team is holding its ow n against som e of the sm aller schools in its conference.

At Bow doin College, in Maine, last w eekend, McGill took second place behind Maine Mari­ time Academy, outpointing the University o f New H am pshire and the host school.

McGill will take part in tw o com petitive seasons. T he first, in the fall, is called the True North series and pits the northern-m ost schools in NEISA against o ne another.

“H opefully w e can p u t it together and win this thing,” said Staples.

The second series will take place in the spring and will fea­ ture all the schools in the asso d ation.

Racing categories in d u d e the Laser d ass, the Tech Din­ ghies class, the 4 20 class, and the Flying Junior (FJ) dass.

Sailing has a particular sta­ tus am ong intercollegiate sports.

It is one of the only events w here w om en and m en com pete in the sam e categories. There are som e regattas in w hich only w om en com pete. According to Staples, their p urpose is to com bat stere­ otypes.

“I think [the w om en only regattas] are a w ay to get m ore w om en into the sport. People think that m en will beat w om en, but its not like that at all,” said Staples.

McGill will not host any regattas for the True North se­ ries, b u t will hold its first hom e race in the spring season, on the w eekend of April 29th. It is likely to b e a w o m en ’s regatta.

In a new developm ent this year, a “junior varsity” team has b een created at McGill. Com­ p o sed of 3 four-seat boats (a heavy m en’s, a light m en’s, and a w om en’s o f yet undeterm ined w eight class), these row ers are a m ixture of veterans of four-seat­ ers, an d younger row ers being groom ed for the varsity eights.

As the sun rises each m orn­ ing, the graceful forms of McGill row ers can b e m ade out b en t to the task o f propelling their slen­ der boats through the cold w a­ ters of M ontreal’s Olym pic Ba­ sin.

According to Club presi­ d ent Jason Blair, the strength of bo th the m en’s and w om en’s crew s has b een increased by a “record num ber of tryouts for the varsity boats.”

In fact, each o f the m en’s bo ats appears to b e stronger than last y ea r’s counterparts.

T h e heavyw eight m en are look­ ing so m uch b etter that Blair indicated that th ere is a “night a n d day difference” b etw een n o w a n d this tim e a year ago.

Ia n S pears, th e m e n ’s heavyw eight coach also antici­ p ates an excellent show ing this year.

“I’m really excited about o u r team , w e ’ve go t som e really t a l e n t e d a th le te s ... [w e ’ve s h o w n ] so lid a c ro ss th e b o ard im prove­ m en t,” h e said.

Spears also felt quite g o o d about the lightweight boat.

“T e c h n i­ cally they may b e row ing even b etter than [the 3 h e a v y w e ig h t Jj eights]... their n c a tc h e s a re J lo oking really sh arp .”

In a cou­ ple o f h ead-to-head workouts, th e lig h tw e ig h t crew h av e p u sh e d a n d even beaten the heavyw eight crew.

This year appears to hold great potential for all the crews o f the McGill University Row­ ing Club. C om peting for the first tim e this w e ek en d in To­ ronto, w ith the H ead of the T rent the follow ing w eekend, th e coaching staff should have an indication o f just how good they m ay be. H opefully the row ­ ers will find that braving the cold air an d w ater of the Olym­ pic B asin will have b ee n w orth it com e th e en d o f O ctober.

Sports Notes F ie ld H o c k e y te a m v ic tim o f in e x p e r ie n c e The Martlets record fell to 0-2-1 at the Queen’s University Field Hockey Tournament, held last weekend in Kingston, Ont. McGill lost to Guelph 1-0, and then tied the University of Western Ontario 0-0 on a shutout by goalie Jillian Roper. In the finale, the Martlets were edged by the University of Waterloo by a score of 2-1.

Kelly Davidoff scored for McGill.

Despite the losses, head coach Alex Phillipi was not disappointed with his team’s efforts.

“I was pretty pleased overall, espe­ cially since we’ve only had two practices this year,” explained Phillipi.

With eight rookies on the 16 player roster, the Martlets may lack the experience needed to make the playoffs in the nineteam Ontario Women’s Inter-collegiate Ath­ letic Association (OWIAA) Field Hockey League. Only the top six teams make it to post season play.

“It will be tough, but I feel confident that we can do it,” said Phillipi. “We showed some signs of coming together as a group.

The [players] have a good attitude, they’re eager to listen and to learn,” he continued.

Phillipi noted that his team is stronger than last year’s squad that finished sixthplace in the league.

Coming up with five converts was Patrick Ghattas with one from Tom Kennedy.

The Redmen dominated all aspects of the game against the inexperienced Sherbrooke side.

Head coach Steve Penner was satisfied with the performance of both his teams.

“Its good to see McGill can field two competitive teams,” said Penner.

M a r tle t R u g b y te a m e x p lo d e s to 4 0 -0 w in o v e r M a c d o n a ld C o lle g e The Martlets rugby “A” team proved too expe­ rienced and too aggressive for upstart Macdonald College in a Quebec University Rugby League (QURL) blowout last weekend in Montreal.

The Martlets have plenty of new faces on their roster this year, but most “A” team rookies come to the team from McGill’s “B” team or the Under-19 team and were easily integrated into McGill’s game plan.

“We had a very good game, we did everything properly, we did all the right things,” explained co­ captain Alison Traynor. “This is by far the best team we’ve ever fielded.”

“Today was a good stepping stone, it was one of the first games I’ve seen everyone play so well together,” added co-captain Beth Wylie.

The Martlets next game will be next Sunday against Concordia, at 12:30 PM, at Lever Park in Pointe St-Charles.

“Concordia will be a very good challenge. You go into the game thinking it’s going to be a tough game,” said Wylie.

R e d m e n R u g b y m a k e m in c e m e a t o u t o f S h e r b r o o k e In Québec University Rugby League (QURL) play in Sherbrooke last weekend the Redmen “A” team crushed the Sherbrooke Vert et Or 34-3, while the “B" team obliterated the Sherbrooke “B” team 52-0.

Notching tries for the “A” team were Sam Lupton, Tristan Jackson, Dan Benoit, Rick Harris and Andrew Coles, who topped all scorers with two successful tries.

Despite poor play in the first 45 minutes of the game, McGill picked up the pace in the last 20 minutes after two Redmen were injured midway through the second half.

“Despite an alarmingly slow start, we managed to pull together after our teammates’injuries to really trounce them in the end,” said team captain Sam Lupton.

“It was a good win, although we w on’t get away with not playing a full game of rugby [against other teams],” added club president Uri Carnat.

In the “B” game, tries were made by Steve BigMac, Patrick Ghattas, Andrew Lees, Stefan Krzeczunowicz, Brian Healy, Tom Kennedy, and Casper Rhichters with two.

S o c c e r R e d m a n L a r o c h e U e n a m e d Q S S F A th le te -o fth e-W ee k Redmen soccer team member Marc-Antoine LarocheUe was named Québec Student Sport Federation (QSSF) Athlete-of-the-Week for his four-goal performance in a 5-0 win over the Bishop’s Gaiters last Saturday.

LarocheUe, a Montrealer who attended Collège Mont-Morency, is in his third year with the Redmen team.

Head coach Valerio Gazzola praised Larochelle’s work ethic.

“It was a deserving performance,” Gazzola said. “He worked really hard that game.

The game could have easily ended up 1-0, but he took things into his own hands. I’m very happy for him.”

Sherbrooke soccer player Hélène Doré was named QSSF Female Athlete-of-theWeek.
