However, that is not the case.

W hile the majority o f stulents w ere away for the sum­ mer working, traveling, or just >umming around, others were lard at work on campus: not ust summer students, but contruction workers as well. They lidn’t build a pub in the centre >f campus, nor did they build inything that many students lave even noticed. The changes uade to McGill d on’t directly iffect the majority o f students, sut they are important. The Tribune spoke with représentâ­ mes o f the office for students vith disabilities and the Stulents’ Society, as w ell as stuients w h o have had to deal vith the inaccessibility o f many if McGill’s buildings.

From the funding that the iniversity received this year, Î.6 million dollars has been llocated to making McGill more ccessible to the physically chalenged. To students living off of sans and part time jobs, this nay seem like a large sum of noney, but according to Joan Wolforth, Coordinator o f the iffice for students with d is a b l­ es, it d oesn ’t go far at all. Many nprovements have to be made

Arts building, and the Redpath Library. The w est w ing o f the Arts building cannot be reached by those in a wheelchair, and the rest o f the building remains difficult to access. There is an elevator, but a key, which stu­ dents do not possess, is re­ q uired to o p era te it. T he Redpath library requires that students with physical disabili­ ties b e buzzed in.

Renovations included the building o f ramps, elevators, and automatic doors, as well as the knocking dow n of walls, and the expansion of w a sh ro o m s and r e sid e n c e rooms.

“There is still so much more to do to make McGill barrier free. This is only the tip o f the iceberg,” said Wolforth.

Although Wolforth b e ­ lieves that additional changes will happen eventually, not all students with disabilities share her optimism. Monica Conway, a U2 science student w ho was on crutches for several w eeks during her first year at McGill, told the Tribune that she still sees a lot o f work to b e done on campus.

“I found it very difficult to get around, especially since !

lived in residence, w hich is up a hill. A lot o f my classes w ere in buildings with stairs,” she explained. “I can’t imagine how frustrating it would b e to attend this university in a wheelchair.”

Renovation o f the McGill campus remains problematic.

This is due primarily to the age and architectural designs o f the buildings. The exteriors cannot b e changed, and unfortunately the interiors w ere not built with wheelchairs in mind. The antiq­ uity o f the buildings has been a large deterrent to these renova­ tions. Many doors had to be changed simply because they w ere not strong enough for the new equipment. Also, the fact that the campus is on a slope makes matters all the more com ­ plicated.

Progress is slow, but con ­ tinual. The project should be finished by the end o f October.

O nce it is com pleted, the uni­ versity will b e applying for ad­ ditional funds to continue reno­ vations. Hopefully within the next few years McGill will be com pletely barrier free, but un­ til then students with disabili­ ties will not b e able to profit fully from the university.

DISCELLANEOUS V i r v a n a ; In U te r o :d g o

The oft-quoted death of grunge is being challenged by two major fall releases: Pearl Jam’s 5 Against 1 and Nirvana’s much-anticipated follow-up to Nevermind. Though ostensibly a trio, Nirvana is really Kurt Cobain’s gig, and from the first screeching notes o f “Serve the Servants’’ it is clear where his areoccupation lies: “teenage angst has paid off well / now I’m i>ored and old." While there is io “Smells Like Teen Sprit”-ish ait on the album, two songs [“Rape Me” & “Dumb”) borrow self-consciously from that song’s :hord progression. Still, In Utero s harsh and much less melodic han Nevermind.

This is a man fed up with iis own popularity.

Cobain even takes a swipe t the homeland of grunge in Francis Farmer Will Flave Her tevenge On Seattle”: “this is all tarting to sound the sam e.”

Irunge and its imminent demise lay be topics of dubious imporance, but the supposed king of le genre has certainly grown /eary o f his crown: “I’m so tired can’t sleep / I’m a liar and a thief ... I’m anemic royalty.”

The sound of Kurt whin­ ing, however, is a fascinating one; it’s hard to ignore the power o f this band, especially when they know that the world is listening.

Acoli makes Exilez prime choice for background study music.

Oryema’s new album, Beat The Border, is produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel) and David Bottrill, and has a

(Real World) C lose you r eyes. Get comfy and let yourself be trans­ ported to the depths of Kampala, Uganda, via th e so o th in g sounds of Geoffrey Oryema. Exile, a WOMAD production for Real World, is currently the best selling title in the Real W orld catalogu e.

Oryema’s debut al­ bum re p r esen ts Geoffrey’s feelings s in c e lea v in g Uganda, the “clear green land” in which “all they invested of their lives and dreams was shattered.”

Sounds too heavy? It isn’t— the rhythmic blend of the lukeme (thumb piano), flute and nanga (a seven-string harp) with en­ gaging chants in Swahili and

decidedly more mainstream ap­ peal. Still, this second project of Oryema’s certainly retains the original “World Beat” sound while adding a Western-Pop edge. Geoffrey Oryema is set­ ting the pace for making “World

Beat” music more accessible.

— Vanessa Hawthorn I g g y P o p : A m e r ic a n C a e s a r

(Virgin) Although his days of roll­ ing in broken glass and smearing his naked body with peanut butter on stage are over, Ig g y P op still hasn’t outgrown the raw power and recklessness that made him a pio­ neer of punk. Of his new album, Iggy insists, “I tried to make this al­ bum as good as I could with no imi­ tations and no for­ m al s h it .” T he scope of Ameri­ can Caesar re­ veals his ambitious goal of being taken seriously as a mu­ sica l c o m p o se r while retaining his image as a fuckedup philosopher o f hate, cyni­ cism, and black angst. He lashes out with hard-nosed, Stooge-ly familiar cuts about shooting up, picking up, getting-it-up, and eating out. These are balanced with the artsy experimentation

o f songs like “Caesar”, “Hate”, and “Mixin’ the Colours”, which are more atmospheric and sub­ tly provocative than in-your-face.

While this contrast may not be completely listener- friendly, the overall project is an oddly in­ triguing, experienced introspec­ tion o f the turmoil that has fueled the career of this rock and roll survivor.

— Brendon Yorke J o h n C o d y : Z e lig B e lm o n d o

(Duke Street/ MCA) With more than a little help from his friends (most notably Tom Cochrane), John Cody serves up a heaping helping of cordial pop with all the fixins.

Layers of lush harmony float over laid back arrangements that are highly conventional, yet not overtly hackneyed. Watch for the occasional quirky chord change and jazzy infiltration, but don’t waste your time paying too close attention (especially to the tacky black silk panties-strewn liner notes — GAG!). If you’re in a cranky mood, slip it into your machine, sit back and forget about it. It’ll probably make you feel better, in spite of yourself.

Then again, smashing glass bot­ tles against a brick wall can also improve your spirits, and it sounds way cooler.

— Brendon Yorke

Creating a scen e: M uch ado about M ontreal Rap S h o w ca se B Y M A R K D A V IE S Last Tuesday, MuchMusic lmed seven local rap acts at a acked Purple Haze. The show, n obvious attempt to jump art the local hip-hop scene, 'as a perfect chance for young nd upcom ing talent to receive ational exposure.

D eveloping the local rap :ene is a necessity. First o f all, îe chances of Ice-T or Cypress ill com ing to Montreal are im. So why not go see a local :t o f at least comparable tai­ nt? Also, Toronto seem s to be ic only place where a rap -oup can make it in Canada. A tow like this may convince trious acts that they d on’t have i m ove to T.O. to make a im e for them selves.

First to take the stage were ,C. Equal and Culture Tech-9 f Overproof. For an opening ;t they definitely compared ith the headliners, getting the ow d going with “Lyrical Asissin Equalizer”, sam pling lack Sheep in “Can’t Beat lat”, and dissing Marky Mark cou p le o f times.

UpslifTted was up next and ic group’s leader, Scooby Doo, ided her first song with “We

know w h o ’s the bitch, so fuck w h o ’s the man.”

Third up was Mr. Phayze, maybe the best act o f the show .

Hard core lyrics w ere reminis­ cent of Naughty By Nature, and the first on­ stage DJ of the evening, DJ McCleod, w as e x c e l­ le n t. D e fi­ nitely see this band.

then m oved to drums to sup­ port the group with funky live percussion. Four hours after the sh ow began they still man­ aged to keep the crowd jump­ ing.

O n e striking fact was how simi­ lar all the acts were. Is there a M o n trea l Soun d ?

It looks like it.

All th e acts had more than o n e rapper, each with a c o m p lic a te d in terp la y o f lin e s. T here were plenty of rap c lic h é s , p lu s a fe w n ew twists, as hard core verses turned into chant style ‘J ump Around’ choruses, almost with­ out exception. All the rappers proved them selves to b e high caliber, but only half the bands had DJs, and only DJ Storm o f S.O.C. proved him self ex cep ­ tional. The beats throughout w ere fairly hard, almost always with an unrecognizable sax or trumpet sample.

N one o f the performers watered dow n their act for the MuchMusic cameras, as there was plenty o f swearing, but a lot o f fun and humour too.

Almost all the bands had one gangsta song, the obvious influences being O nyx and Ice Cube, and there was no real “soft” rap.

The bands w hich make up this “Montreal Scene” are an incredible mix o f age, race, sex, and size. The crowd was also m ixed but had a unanimously positive response (including the g u y b e s id e m e, a n e w Montrealer w h o questioned the logic o f so many p eop le wear­ ing hats indoors). Unfortunately there were no francophone acts.

What ever happened to M.R.F.?

The success, exposure and popularity o f this event should lead to more such show s. It w ould be nice to find a bigger venue, because all these acts are definitely worth checking out again. A sjay Soul cam e out char ting, “W e’re back on the

Uh-oh, the T hrill Killers are com ing B Y H A R R IS N E W M A N The Thrill Killers may be hooked on yesterday’s subcul­ ture, but the carnage which their performance rituals typically in­ spire is right in touch with the ‘pain can be your friend too’ attitude of today’s concertgoers.

“We encourage audience participation,” singer/guitarist Chris Beck suggested as a rea­ sonable description of the Bmovie inspired pseudo-violence which is central to their live shows. After a mere two months o f existence, and two shows in w'hich, to promote their legend,

the Thrill Killers have left a path o f severed bodies, destroyed equipment and forever scarred youth, o f which the most fiend­ ish display actually had them permanently banned from an Ottawa venue.

The band might at first seem harmless when representing their saner personalities as Chris, Matt Collyer (guitar/saxophone/vocals), Jordan Swift (bass), and Eric Boullanger (drums/vocals), but the truth can only be twisted so far. Their ordinary lives take a back seat when they draw both their identities and passions from the almost cult classic ‘60s B-

movie, The Thrill Killers. On stage, they revert to their dark sides as the cinematic Killer char­ acters o f Mad Dog, Herbie, Keith and “Amazing” Gary. The com­ plete axe murderer regalia is more than a token shtick, but an all too understated warning to the audience o f the damage that imminently awaits them.

Combining the four chord slam o f late seventies punk rock with an unapologetically retro ‘60s rock edge, the Thrill Killers pummel their audience with eve­ rything from garage rock covers and Ramonesque teen anthemsin-waiting to kinder, gentler tunes

W e look for it in the bright ideas, specialized knowledge and leading-edge skills of today's graduates.

“W e do an old Nova’s s o n g ca lled “The Crusher”, during which Keith and Gary leave their instr u m e n ta l posts to wres­ tle the audi­ en ce, ea ch other and any­ th in g e ls e n earb y in to su b m is s io n ,” offered Matt as an example of one of their few p u b lis h a b le live tactics.

M o v i n g P i c t u r e s : H é l è n e B l a c k b u r n ’s V i s i o n B Y G A T R IN M O R R IS “T he North American soci­ ety does not respect the Arts. It is seen as fun. As entertainment only.

The artist means...nothing.”

Not for long, perhaps.

Hélène Blackburn, a highprofile figure in the Montreal dance scene, may convert even the most culturally-numb. As choreogra­ pher of dance troupe CAS Public, who will perform this month in the F estival I n te rn a tio n a l d e Nouvelle Danse, Blackburn offers an indisputably stunning blend of theatre, dance and music.

For Blackburn, the body is the ultimate story-teller.

“I used to emphasize the meaning before the dance. But, now I try to put what I think and say into the body and let it go.”

I was able to sit in on a rehearsal for the duet D ans La Salle Des Pas Perdus, one of two pieces to be performed this month.

Throughout this foray into human vulnerability runs a pre­ cise and enchanting pulse o f en­ ergy which blends aggression, sex u a lity and p la y fu ln ess.

Blackburn has effectively captured myriad manifestations o f malefemale relationships and is sur­ prised by the transmutable nature of this dynamic.

“Sometimes I look at the dance and say, OK, it's a couple, a iove story. Then, I say, No, they arc siblings-friends-childrcn," she said.

Never stagnant, the dance is a series of snapshot interactions.

Blackburn wanted to capture the “pictures and moments of a man

and woman in a collage of dance. ” Dancers Line Pelletier and Sylvain Poirier’s movements were con­ trolled yet eruptive and alternated between flawless acrobatics and penetrating grace.

When playful, the dancers resemble hyperactive children trapped in a church basement (where the rehearsal was held).

Their characters and bodies seem to test the limits of behavior. When they go too far and the lines of conduct become blurred, they exhibit discomfort at the potential power of one to hurt the other.

During other mom ents, Pelletier and Poirier portray lov­ ers w h ose lighthearted play shrouds an underlying vulnerabil­ ity and fear. At one point, he pushes her away with almost sin­ ister repetition until she begins to weep on his shoulder. Yet, there is never a hint of cliché or senti­ mentality. The emotions are iso­ lated in simple but powerful move­ ments of the body, and we iden­ tify completely.

At the festival, CAS Public will perform this duet and a trio, Les Regions du Nord. Both are somewhat of a departure from past works which were character­ ized by a violent and explosive tone. The energy of such pieces has been reinvigorated, without such negative urgency.

“Before, I was convinced it was violence I needed to show.

But violence was really just a way for me to express the extreme energy which raises one to a sec­ ond level of consciousness. The thing that touches me now is when the body pushes to reach

$26.50 “At the edge of every experi­ ence is the refracted light o f recollec­ tion, snagged there like an image in a beveled mirror.”

Is it possible to write the story o f one’s own life without delving into the fictitious, the imagined, the wished-for? What if one wrote an autobiography only from the specu­ lated perspective of other people?

Nominated for the Booker Prize last week, Canadian writer Carol Shield’s latest novel, The Stone Diaries, is a compelling plunge into the nature of text and autobiography.

This novel echoes many ele­ ments characteristic o f the Canadian post-modem. The fragmented narra­ tive voice, self-reflexive story-telling, and the questioning o f the nature of history and memory are reminiscient o f Ondaatje, Laurence and Atwood.

Yet, The Stone Diaries is a singularly captivating and innovative creation in its own right.

Divided into ten chapters with titles like “Birth," "Marriage” and “Death,” the novel is presented as if

an historically verifiable biography of Daisy Goodwill Flett. It becomes clear, however, that not only is the narrator speaking o f herself in the third per­ son but she is writing herself into non-existence. A collage o f letters, photos, newspaper clippings and narrative perspectives displace Dai­ sy’s active voice into the margins of the page.

According to Canadian critic Linda Hutcheon’s definition, a meta­ fiction asks that “we, as readers, make the link between life and art, be­ tween the processes o f the reception and the creation o f texts.” The Stone D iaries positions the reader in such a precarious position. If this narrative voice seems intent upon selfannhialation, can we ever trust the images and judgments it conjures? At the same time, the text is steeped in an ironic and overtly witty detach­ ment which yields in us an amicable deference for the narrator. Is Daisy even the narrator? It is never quite resolved.

On one level, Daisy’s life is unremarkable and decidedly grim.

Left motherhless at birth and twicewidowed from cheerless marriages, she is a case-study o f repressed sexu­ ality, unrealized talent and relentless self-abnegation. Shield’s employs a humourous yet condemning account o f the constricting societal codes of conduct. You will laugh out loud at excerpts from M cCall's and Good Housekeeping which are as telling as

( W e e k e n d

they are tragic: “The wearing o f pyja­ mas has driven many a man to seek affection elsewhere.”

While Daisy has the makings o f the 1950’s happy homemaker ideal, her life soon becomes one o f silent resignation in the sterile condominium lifestyle of Florida’s retirement com­ munity. Yet, behind both a frag­ mented text and a fragmented char­ acter, lurks a story o f a woman who struggles between self-condemnation and a desperate attempt to create herself. Her narrative detachment is a product o f her paralyzed voice. Ulti­ mately, the reader is forced to ques­ tion if Daisy’s life is actually a tale of misery or the story o f a self deferred.

The stone metaphor is an ef­ fective device which unifies the the­ matic and structural currents o f The Stone Diaries. Just as the stone is associated with an unyielding force o f history, it is also a symbol of polished concealment. As Daisy’s father explains, “every piece o f stone in the world has its own centre with something imprisoned in it.” In the end, Daisy, like her name, is some­ what o f a secret garden enclosed in walls o f stone. These stones, thanks to Shields, are not as impenetrable as may appear.

The Stone Diaries is a clever jaunt. But it is free o f the pretentious and self-gratifying slant o f its secondrate counterparts. This is a novel which is as pleasurable to read as it is hard to put aside.

BY C H R IS T O P H E R R IG N E Y A N D CH A R LES THOM AS McGill’s Department o f Athletics announced the im m e­ diate suspension o f Redmen Football player John Pevec on Friday. T he su sp en sion fol­ low ed a W ednesday announce­ ment o f a positive drug test by the Canadian Inter-university Athletics Union (CIAU). Athlet­ ics Director Robert Dubeau announced the immediate sus­ pension o f Pevec in a press conference at the Currie Gym­ nasium.

T he four-year ban was handed down after Pevec’s urine

Redman John Pevec sam ples revealed the presence o f metabolites from the andro­ genic steroid Stanozolol, the sam e substance that cost sprinter Ben Johnson his 1988 Olympic Gold medal. Pevec, a native of Sarnia, Ontario, was am ong five Redmen randomly selected by the CIAU for a doping control session held on September 1st, during a Redmen practice. The penalty assures that the threeyear veteran will never again don a Redmen football jersey.

The analysis, w hich was carried out and confirmed by L’Institut National de Recher­ ch e Scientifique in Montreal, an International Olympic Commit­ tee (IOC) accredited laboratory, w as com pleted only after both the “A” and “B” samples sub­ mitted by Pevec turned up posi­ tive.

In order to com pete in intercollegiate sports, all CIAU athletes must take part in a drug education seminar in addition to signing a contract allowing the athletics union to perform d ru g te s tin g . P e v e c w e n t through these steps each sea­ son he participated in the McGill Varsity Football program.

Pevec, a 6-foot-4, 262pound defensive lineman, did not attend the press conference

held at the Gym, but instead issued a personal statement, read to the media by Dubeau.

Assuming com plete responsi­ bility for his actions, Pevec’s statement w as apologetic.

“I w ould like to apologize to my family, teammates, friends, the McGill football program and the university in general for the anguish and disappointment I have caused as a consequence o f my actions,” Pevec began.

Pevec went on to exoner­ ate all other members o f the Redmen football community o f any responsibility or know ledge o f his drug use.

“In no w ay did the McGill football program or anyone as­ sociated with it, encourage or condone my use o f the banned substance. No o n e associated with the team w as aware o f my actions."

Pevec concluded his com ­ ments by stating that, “to my k n o w le d g e , n o n e o f m y teammates have used, or are using a banned substance.”

Dubeau expressed the D e­ partment o f Athletics' position on the issue.

“McGill University and the Department o f Athletics are ex ­ tremely disappointed that on e o f their student-athletes has tested positive for the use o f a banned substance. As educa­ tors, McGill officials feel that they have a major responsibility to the physical and mental w ell­ b ein g o f all their students,” added Dubeau.

Ken Friedman, a fifth-year linebacker and Redmen team captain expressed both disappointment and concern for his banished teammate.

“While w e ’re concerned for John as a friend, w e are all saddened and shocked b y his decision. Nevertheless, w e must surround John and give him our support," said Friedman.

In his letter, Pevec m ade it clear that w h ile n o longer a Redmen, h e had no intention o f withdrawing from the univer­ sity.

“I fully intend to com plete my studies at McGill, as a g ood education w as the primary rea­ son I ch ose to attend McGill," added Pevec.

W hile new s o f the sus­ p ension cam e as a surprise to the team, the positive test re­ sults only served to confirm a suspicion held by Redmen Head Coach Charlie Baillie. Baillie recalled taking notice w h en Pevec, w h o was taking part in a standard training camp medical exam ination o n August 21, w eig h ed in at a hefty 2 62 pounds. The figure represented

a 3 5 -pound increase from last May, w hen Pevec accom panied the Redmen to Besançon, France for the team’s exhibition gam e against Baker University o f Kan­ sas.

Baillie recalled approach­ ing McGill Drug Awareness Co­ ordinator Ken Schildroth a day after the physical examination, regarding the possibility o f hav­ ing Pevec tested.

In addition to random test­ ing by the CIAU, an athlete may also b e selected for testing by a request from the Head Coach or Intercollegiate Coordinator to the Director o f Athletics, as is required by McGill Department o f Athletics policy.

McGill’s Director o f Ath­ letics, Robert Dubeau, was on vacation at the time o f Baillie’s and Schildroth’s discussion.

As is indicated in Annex “B” o f the CIAU Drug Education and D oping Control Program, however, Schildroth and Baillie w ere not required by the CIAU to consult with the Director o f Athletics prior to the initiation o f such target testing.

It w as nevertheless d e­ cided that the matter w ould have to wait D ubeau’s return.

In the interim, Pevec was selected by the CIAU for ran­ dom testing. Baillie indicated that at that p oint, h e and Schildroth dropped the case.

“O n [August] 24th, the CIAU selected five p eop le ran­ domly from our team, on e was Pevec,” claimed Baillie. “W e said OK, he doesn’t need to b e tested, the CIAU will do it, [but] I w ould have gon e through with it,” added Baillie.

W hen Baillie questioned Pevec about his summertime growth spurt, the lineman ex­ plained that he had put on the

w eight to try out the nose tackle position for the Redmen this season. Baillie, however, did not ask Pevec if he was using any performance enhancing drugs.

Since January 1, 1993, the CIAU has tested 270 football players as part o f the football specific portion o f its overall drug testing policy. Prior to the announcem ent o f Pevec’s sus­ pension, 811 tests had been conducted, resulting in nine positive results since February 1, 1990.

The scop e o f the program aimed at football is o f greater breadth than the procedures targeting all other CIAU sports.

According to Dubeau, the Pevec case is an isolated inci­ dent.

“Since CIAU drug-testing was implemented in 1990, ap­ proximately 48 McGill football players have been tested under the CIAU doping policy and only this particular case has tested positive,” he said.

No other intercollegiate sport has its athletes tested as often as varsity football, but that d oes not assuage Baillie’s concerns about drug abuse.

“I’d like to have every­ body tested every year, but that w o u ld cost som ethin g like $400,000— that’s unrealistic,” said Baillie. “But w e have to have more p eop le tested.”

D u b ea u w a s h esita n t about endorsing a larger number o f tests, but conceded that it might help.

“If more testing could be done, it probably wouldn't hurt,” stated Dubeau.

Others at McGill see much more o f a qualitative problem than a quantitative problem in the fight against drugs.

James McCullough, w ho w as a student-athlete member o f the Athletics Board w hen McGill passed its drug testing p o licy after th e 1988 Ben Johnson scandal, believes that the present policy is ineffective because it lacks clear purpose and objectives.

“I believe that the Athlet­ ics Board must put out a clear statement, not only about o p ­ posing the abuse o f perform­ ance enhancing drugs, but also w hy [they] are opposed to it,” said McCullough. “Not all the issues are being studied— w hy are athletes using drugs?They’re just doing the old ‘McGill must look g ood thing’.”

McCullough, now I lead Coach o f the fencing team, is1 skeptical that the Department o f Athletics is ready to put in the resources and time needed to back-up its policy.

“H ow much m oney are you going to spend on it and what procedures are you going to use? Is McGill going to back up its words with actions," he said.

“Right now , all they have is a dry seminar,” com m ented McCullough. “If McGill is concerned, they should put their m oney w here their mou th is.”

At the press conference, Dubeau was unable to disclose the budget the Department o f Athletics commits to its drug policy, claiming that it w as tied to other administrative costs.

In McCullough’s opinion, McGill has yet to decide w hich m essage it w ishes to convey to its athletes.

“Are w e worried about a. level playing field, or are w e worried about getting caught,” h e asked.

As McGill’s rowing crews ned their season at the University IToronto Sprints on Saturday, one ng became apparent The compeon this fall will be just as tight as it been every season for the last 3teen years.

The races were held on Center nd and consisted of a floating start then a mad dash of less than 1mto the finish line. Any crew that 1 experienced difficulty at the start fie race could not expea to win.

The highlights included a cou\ of novice wins in the consolation s. The varsity men’s lightweight • finished second in their race to : University, an excellent show[for what coach TonyTremain calls evelopmentcrew. ’While the men’s eight finished fifth out of five s, they were “only” two lengths cand, according to Tremain, “right : Td like to be.”

During the race, the difference in stroke rate between McGill and certain other schools was painfully obvious.

“Mostof theseotherteamshave been trainingat36 [strokesper minute]; we’ve been training at about 3 1 , Tremain pointed out “We have a very, very fit crew, and we expect to race at 38 for the Ontario University Athletic Association (OUAA) champi­ onships.”

The championships will take place October 30 in Saint Catharine’s and until then, McGill will be rowing an assortment of long and short races.

The varsity women’s heavy eight placed second aftera tight threeway battle. The University of Western Ontario won the race, while the Uni­ versity of Toronto finished third.

“We didn’t know what to ex­ pect, since this was the first time we had raced them,” said coach Tom O’Connor.

The three teams appear to be

close in both ability and motivation, setting up some interesting races for October.

“Itwill come down to whoever trains the hardest over the next few weeks,” O’Connor added The varsity men’s heavy eight came third in another tight race.

“The first four boats were all in touch [overlapping each other],” said coach Ian Spears.

The race was won by Queen’s, with Trent placing second “Off the start, we were down, but we were able to take four seats back from Toronto and four seats back from Trent The guys felt that if it was a longer race, they could have gained even more on Trent” said Spears.

McGill’s novice crews turned a few heads. The crew won the conso­ lation final despite having experi­ enced equipment problems in the heats.

On the men’s side, the light

about 30 -second intervals to race a long course. The Trent will be 5 km long.

Obviously, the strategy is very different from that of a sprint “I think we’re all more or less where we want to be right now,”said Tremain.

The key, of course, >snot where you are, but where you want to go and how you get there. In this respect, McGill rowers are well on their way.

eights came back from a sub-par performance in the heats to win their consolation final.

They got a little nervous dur­ ing their first real race,” said coach Duncan King. “Before the consola­ tion round I told them to relax, and they walked away with it” This weekend, the crew will travel to Trent University to participate in the Head of the Trent Head races consist of crews being released at

D e s b o is' h a t tr ic k le a d s M a r t l e t so c ce r to w in o v e r C o n c o r d ia In Québec University Soccer League (QUSL) play last Friday at Molson Stadium, the Martlets defeated the Concordia Stingers in a 5-0 drubbing.

Aggressive and confident, the Martlets out hustled their cross-town rivals. “[Wei wanted the ball all the time,” said head coach Tony Iachetta. “Some of our players played exceptionally well.”

Goalie Carolyn Teng, who recorded the shut-out, praised the determined efforts of her teammates.

“We’ve come together really well,” commented Teng. “We dominated in the mid-field. We were very aggressive in defense—[Concordia] didn’t get a chance.”

Odile Desbois got got a hat trick while Franca Fillippone and Luciana Cifarelli completed the scoring.

The Martlets next game will be against UQTR on October 2.

R e d m e n S o c c e r ta k e tw o a n d c lim b to f i r s t The CIAU’s fourth-ranked McGill Redmen took four points from their biggest rivals in the QUSL last weekend, with a 2-1 win over seventh-ranked Sherbrooke and a 1-0 shutout of Concordia.

On Friday, against Sherbrooke, the Redmen controlled most of the play, and might have blanked the Vert et Or if not for a questionable second half call that resulted in Sherbrooke’s only goal on a penalty shot.

Mike Popolitch opened the scoring for McGill in the first half and Marc-

Antoine Larochelle got the winner in the 84th minute.

On Sunday afternoon, McGill took their west end rivals to the cleaners in a hare fought 1-0 victory.

• “It was a very rough match, they played very physically—Concordia plays very aggressively,” said striker Larochelle.

Nick Giannas got the lone goal in the 44th minute and Brian Rae, in his return from injury, was credited with the shutout.

With those two wins, McGill moves into top spot in the QUSL. Their next game wii be on October 2 against UQTR.

M a r t l e t f i e l d h o c k ey r e c o r d d o w n p la y e d Numbers can be deceiving. Just ask the McGill women’s field hockey team. There is the matter of the 1-4-1 record with which they have begun the season. Then there was last weekend’s losing road trip record of one win and two losses. The Martlets, however, see a lot of good in those numbers.

Over the weekend, the Martlets played in the three-game Carleton Tournament at the Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa. They were trounced 5-0 by the University of Toronto in the opener, then came tantalizingly close in a 2-1 loss to York before taking the rubber match of the series by shutting out Trent 3-0.

Coach Alex Phillipi conceded that first place Toronto gave them a lot of trouble, but he gushed over how his charges handled themselves over the powerful York squad Team captain Niluh Singh, who scored the lone Martlet goal against York agreed "Against York, we did very well defensively. We weren't intimated going into the game," she said.

Scoring for McGill in the Trent game were Christy love, Stephanie Wallen and rookie Kelly Davidoff.

The Martlets next game will on October 2, at Queen's.

The next meet is on Satur­ day at the University of Sherbrooke where the strong home team is expected to field its best runners and should provide stiff competi­ tion for McGill. However, Redman Pat Merrin was optimistic about McGill’s chances.

“Sherbrooke will be chal­ lenged at the provincials,” he said.

“It’s going to be different this year because we have 16 league games instead of eight so we get to play each team two extra times," she said.
