and

udden death overtim e. In hockey, OT is one big emo tional rollercoaster. One shot can be the difference between win ning and losing. Unfortunately for the M cG ill Redmen, that one shot allowed the nationally second-ranked Univer sité à Québec de Tro is-R ivières Patriotes to narrowly escape with a 5-4 victo ry at the M cConnell Winter Arena last Saturday night. The Redmen were pressing in the Trois-Rivières zone for the OT winner, but the puck squirted loose and the Patriotes broke out on a two-on-one break. Trois Riveres forward Jean Roberge managed to put the puck in the net, and UQTR notched another two points in the OUAA standings. “They had a wide guy drive to the net and he threw out in front. 1 made the firs t save, it landed between my legs, and before I knew I was in the back of the net with the puck,” said M cG ill netminder Jarrod Daniel. M cG ill drew first blood only 70 seconds into the game when captain Todd M arcellus, perhaps M c G ill’ s best forw ard on this night, scored his fifth goal of the season. F iv e m inutes late r, w ith Redmen forward Luc Fournier in the penalty box fo r hooking, U Q TR equalised on an odd man rush. Trois-R ivières forward Jean Roberge rocketed his team into the lead, 2-1, w ith a ta lly through Daniel’s legs two minutes later. Unshaken by the turn of events, M cG ill's potent power play then went to w ork, scoring two goals, both by Stéphane Angers, in less than a one-minute span. The tying goal came from the top of the right face-off circle mid way through the first. Anger buried a monster slapshot for his ninth goal of the season. H is tenth goal restored the

Despite change and con flict, C A SA plow s ahead By T o d d K ramers

The Canadian A llia n c e of Students’ Associations is confident that recent leadership changes and internal differences over funding alternatives w ill not prevent it from transforming last month’ s “ Real C h o ices” cam paign into real results. Last October 25, students at ten universities, including M cG ill, the University of New Brunswick and the U n ive rsity of B ritish Columbia, cast a majority of bal lots endorsing a C A SA discussion paper called “ M aking H igher Education Work.” The referendum question juxtaposed C A S A ’s and the federal government’s approach es towards the future of Canadian post-secondary education. Pat F itz P a tric k , form er V P External at UNB, is currently act ing as C A S A ’ s national director. FitzPatrick stated that he is satis fied with how the “ Real Choices” campaign was received across the country. “ I ’ m happy w ith the vote results but I don’t think anyone in the organisation was entirely happy with the level of participation,” he said. “We would have liked a few more schools on board but the campaign showed that there is sup port for the policy out there.” The U n ive rsity of W estern Ontario, the University of Calgary and the U n iversity of W aterloo opted out of the campaign. In all three cases, the first three sections of the C A SA paper were approved by each of the respective councils before the fourth section was voted down. The final section proposes a graduate surtax and a “ play or pay” corporate beneficiary contribution as new sources of funding for high er education.

the A U S

“ Students and co u n cillo rs were not favourable to the last sec tion so we felt that we didn’t want to endorse the document,” stated Jane P ak, president of the Federation of Students at Waterloo. Andrea Stairs, acting SSM U V P external affairs, feels that this exemplifies the practical success of C A SA ’ s consensus decision-mak ing philosophy; a philosophy that has often been used by C A S A organisers to define itself against Canada’s other national student organisation, the Canadian Federation of Students, “ [The decision to reconsider the fourth policy chapter] definite ly shows the responsiveness of C A SA to the concerns of its mem bers,” Stairs said. “We addressed concerns and addressed them in a way that could satisfy all member schools. It shows the way that C A SA as an organisation responds to its member schools, which is one of its main pillars,” she stated. Stairs is confident that this w ill strengthen C A SA ’s ability to employ the discussion paper as an effective lobbying tool against the federal government. “ We’ve still got wide support fo r the first three sections and we’ve also done quite well in our first test,” she said. “We’re not just a bunch of talking heads.” C A S A has recen tly faced some h ig h -level leadership changes. N ick B en ed ict, who resigned from the office of SSMU VP external affairs two weeks ago, also stepped down as C A S A ’ s Quebec Regional Director. Stairs, previously the chair of SSM U ’ s External Policy Committee, found herself thrust into both positions. CA SA w ill appoint a new Regional Continued on Page 3 I I

Six Nations’ funds allegedly used in loan to founders o f M cGill By Sara Jean G reen

The S ix Nations Co uncil is currently seeking litigation against the Crown in Right of Canada for the alleged em bezzlem ent of Native funds. The Crown allegedly used these funds to finance a loan to the founders of M cG ill in 1860. The M ohaw k, Seneca, Cayuga, Oneida, Onandaga, and Tuscarora peoples constitute the six

nations of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. The S ix N ations reserve is located at O hsw eken, near B ran tfo rd , Ontario. A lle g e d ly , the C ro w n ’ s Executive Council agreed to loan M cGill University $40,000 on June 14, 1860. A p p aren tly, D ’ A rcy McGee was to be paid on behalf of the university. On December 20 of the same

year, Charles Dewy Day received on behalf of the university $8,000 by direct payment from the S ix Nations’ trust fund as part of the loan to M c G ill. It is , however, unclear as to whether or not the founders of M cGill knew where the funds were coming from. According to Director of the Six Nations Land Claims Research O ffice Phil Monture, the Crown never had the authority to take

The assessors’ report also stated that 26 of the cases reported were at the informal level and seven cases were investigated through formal channels. This marks a decrease in the number of formal cases com pared to last year’s statistics. W ells expressed confidence that the improved strategy of the

On November 27, revisions to M cG ill’s Sexual Harassment Policy w ill be presented to Senate. Revisions to the policy have been under consideration for the past three years. The revisions were written by a working group of the Board of Governors sub-committee in charge of sexual harassment regulations. Professor Patricia W ells presented the Ninth Annual Report of the Assessors of Sexual Harassment to Senate last week. The report states that 33 cases were brought to the attention of assessors in 199495. This figure represents a 14 per cent increase in comparison with the previous school year. W ells, who has served as an assessor since the policy was implemented in 1986, believes that the rise in reported inci dents is due to an increase in sexual harassment education on campus. In 1991-92, W ells con ducted a survey on sexual harassment at M cGill. She esti University A ffa irs p o rtfo lio dealing mated that as few as five per w ith harassment cent of actual occurrences were reported to assessors.

the decrease may represent an attempt to dissuade students from filing a formal complaint. She also stated that a more general policy that deals with other issues, such as homophobia, is needed. “We started off with one of the better and newest [harassment poli cies]. Now I think we’re behind,” said Grushcow. She further maintained that the increase in education is not effective without the necessary changes in policy. She pointed to the role of an assessor, as both judge and jury, as a breach of natural justice. “We can have all the education in the world, but we still need laws and we still need procedures,” she stated. Grushcow also questioned the formal rulings in cases investigated in 1994-95. In three of the seven cases brought to the formal level, a male professor was vindicated of harassment charges brought forth by a female student. The vindication of a respondent implies that either the complainant’s charge was false or that the complainant does not under stand the definition of harassment. “ I don’t think people lie about these things for revenge or their moment in the sun,” Grushcow said. However, Wells expressed con fidence that this week’s revisions, combined with increased education, w ill bring more victims forward to seek justice. “ I think that in any situation such as this, people don’t come for ward for their own reasons,” Wells said. “With time, we can make these people confident to come forward.”

victories since he’s been out — all of which was stuff that he created and we carried forw ard,” stated FitzPatrick. He also pointed to C A S A ’ s ongoing involvement in pre-budget consultations with the federal gov ernment.

ing to be the demise of any educa tional fa cility, the S ix Nations of the Grand River Indians welcome discussions towards an amicable resolution as we in turn pursue action against Canada fo r the em bezzlem ent o f S ix N ations Funds.” A prelim inary meeting was held on July 12 between members of the S ix Nations Council and M cG ill University. The Council is proposing that students from S ix Nations, should they meet M cG ill’s adm ission requirem ents, be allowed to attend the university without having to pay tuition fees. “To me, this seems very rea sonable. That’s not to let the Crown o ff the hook to provide post-sec ondary education. I think it’s a fair proposition w e’ re trying to put forth,” said Monture. The Canadian government is responsible for providing post-sec ondary education funding for stu dents with Native status. Last year, the Grand R iver Post-Secondary Education O ffice granted funding to over 850 students. C urrently however, there is only one student from Six Nations attending M cGill. Vice Principal Academic B ill Chan met with members of the Six Nations Council but stated that no agreem ent has been made. However, a visit to Ohsweken is being planned in order to provide students with inform ation about M cGill. “ The Rector of Adm issions office is arranging a visit to their schools so students w ill be aware of the admission requirements to M cG ill,” Chan said. ‘There are no negotiations nor any discussion about [tuition fees]. We’re delight ed to meet with the Council of the S ix Nations because we have an interest in a diverse student body. That is the subject of the discus sions,” he stated.

funds from the Six Nations Indians. Furthermore, it has been difficult for the Research office to deter mine the exact amount taken from S ix Nations funds because pay ments were made through individu als’ names instead of being paid to the university itself. “ The most offensive thing is how the Crown [allegedly embez zled funds]. There is no record of the money ever being reimbursed to the Six Nations,” said Monture. “ The obligation was through the Crown to make sure the money was reim bursed to us. W e’ ve got Canada before the courts for all of our land and all of our money,” he stated. The S ix N ations C o u n cil began litigation against the Crown on Decem ber 23, 1994. The Canadian government has until December 15 of this year to file a statement of defence. Members of the S ix Nations Council believe government fund ing cuts to the Six Nations reserve are a result o f the claim file d against it. “ We don’t play by their rules, so they don’t like us. That is why they cut off the Six Nations’ fund ing,” explained Monture. The S ix Nations Council is seeking repayment of funds along with the compounded interest that has accumulated on the amount. The Departm ent o f Indian Affairs was repeatedly unavailable for comment.

R eform ation o f S S M U cou n cil under d iscu ssion By W illiam Lau

The Presidential Po rtfo lio Committee of Council is discussing recommendations concerning possi ble reforms to the structure of coun cil. This follows a proposal made by Clubs Rep Chris Carter which seeks stronger representation of studentrun services on council. The SSMU Constitution states that the purpose of the society is to provide activities and services which shall enhance the " ... educational, cultural, environmental, political and social conditions of its mem bers.” Currently, more than half of council representation is faculty based. Backed by the constitution, Carter wants to increase the size of council from the current 31 to 39 seats in order to include services representation for the Women’ s U nion, W alksafe, The Sexual Assault Centre, Players’ Theatre, Black Students’ Network, M cG ill Students for L ite ra cy , M cG ill N ightline, and The Volunteer Bureau. Sara Mayo, external co-ordina tor of the Women’s Union and clubs rep to council stressed the need to bolster service representation. She

Provincial cuts will affect Ontario, Maritime tuition fees Ministry of Education officials in Ontario and Nova Scotia have announced proposals to increase tuition fees in their provinces. In Ontario, Education Minister John Snobelon expected that the fall budget would call for higher tuition fees due to provincial deregulation. Greg Moran, VP academic at Western University, said that profes sional program fees would increase the most. According to Moran, such pro grams have higher operating expenses and graduates have a greater income potential, making tuition increases more justifiable in such areas.

Head of Facilities Management resigns By T yla Berchtold

An ongoing internal investiga tion of Facilities Management has resulted in the resignation of department head, Blake McGibbon. A t a press conference last w eek, V ice P rin cip a l A dm in istratio n and Finance P h y llis Heaphy attempted to answer ques tions regarding last Wednesday’ s sudden resignation of the long term employee. McGibbon’ s resignation was apparantly prompted by the find ings of an irregular financial audit. “There are regular audits in the departments,” Heaphy said. “This one however, was out of the ordi n ary. There has never been an investigation of this extent and nature before,” she stated. Although Heaphy could not comment on what prompted the investigation, she did maintain that the request for McGibbons’ resig nation was legitimate. “There were a number of facts brought up during the investiga tion,” she said. “ [The request for McGibbon’s resignation] was justi fied by those facts.” F a c ilitie s Management is responsible for the cleaning of buildings on campus, as w ell as maintenance. Heaphy stated that the resigna tion did not seem to disrupt the day-to-day running of the depart ment. “Currently, there is no one tak ing over [M cGibbon’ s] position. Sam Kingdon [the Associate Vice Principal Physical Resources] is overseeing the operation,” she added. When asked whether or not there would be legal action taken,

Melanie Newton, political coordinator of The B la ck Students’ Network affirm s that “ something has to change.” “ Consistently low voter turnouts at elections shows a general lack of interest among students. There is a sense that council does not represent them. Increasing repre sentation through increasing ser vices reps would surely give stu dents a renewed interest,” Newton stated. “There is a distance between council and the students right now. There are more than twenty thou sand students on campus but only 31 reps on council. This is not enough.” Co-ordinator for M cG ill Students for Literacy, Lorna Yates, also supports changing the structure of council, pointing to past problems which stemmed from lack of repre sentation. “I am so busy with my job that often I don’ t know what’ s going on,” she said. “The more voices [we have on council], the better.

Ghetto safety proposal By Kurt N ewman

very year, prospective SSM U execs make noise about improvements in ghetto safety. The absolute inaction in the wake of these proclamations has started to hit a raw nerve. The most lucid proposal I have encountered to improve security in this student-populated neighbourhood is routinely ignored. I w ill advance this proposal now, in hopes that it w ill be greeted by more than the usual deafening silence. 1 propose the building of a wall surrounding the perameter of the Ghetto and M cG ill cam pus, extending from the intersection of Jeanne-Mance Boulevard and Ave. des Pins to D r. Penfield and M cTavish, extending down to Sherbrooke. The walls shall be 20 feet high, built of a combination of Italian marble, aluminum siding and cubic zirconium. Atop the walls shall be barbed wire. Gates into the inner sanctum shall be located at Sherbrooke and M cG ill College and at Jeanne-M ance and M ilto n . The gates sh all be designed by renowned architect I.M . Pei. Additionally, there w ill be large watch towers, constructed of concrete and durable lycra. They w ill be constructed at every 20 feet of the w all, and shall shine broad lights across Ghettto. I propose halogen, for it seems to be the cheapest and most effective lighting material ever devised, as evidenced by its ubiquity in college stu dents’ homes. The project in my estimation, shall cost an alleged $300 m illion. A separate police force w ill have to be hired, and it is imperative that they wear costumes sim ilar to those of John Shaft, P .I., immortalised in the film Shaft (i.e. brown leather trenchcoat, black turtleneck, and sharp leather shoes). Entrance into the walled polis w ill require a current M cG ill I.D . card. Overdue fees over $9.99 shall be taken into account. An estimated 250 stone masons w ill be required for the con struction of the walls. More specialised artisans might be required, at union scale. Given that union scale for piano-playing clowns is $150 an hour, it is doubtful that they w ill be hired to provide entertainment for the toiling workers. A distinct political body, separate from the M UC, w ill be neces sary. I propose the transformation of the popular eatery Y a Y a ’s into a sort of ad hoc city hall, until plans for the official construction can begin, under the helm of renowned architet Moshe Safdie. Apart from the obvious benefit to student safety, the construc tion of a monolithic enclosure might prevent tragedies like the sud den disappearance of breakfast salons like the famed “ L ’Habitant” . A covert “ resistance” might be organised in the catacombs of La Cité, and for this reason it is important that local recording artists such as Richard Séguin, Beau Dommage, and Grim Skunk perform often in this underground m all. A separate police force, outfitted in SW A T team regalia, w ill protect this concert site, so as to avert tragedies such as the infamous Cincinatti stampede, in which 11 fans of The Who were trampled to death. I implore my fellow students to examine this proposal, and to question your future leaders as to their commitment to projects of this sort. Season’ s greetings to all.

F irs t, a confession. I must admit that I was quite honoured to see that I was the first recipient this year of an “Ed Note” in “Letters to the Editor” . H ow ever the underlying assumption that I did not understand the issues governing the Tribune ‘s final decision distressed me to some extent (“ If M s. Rhodes...wants to understand the Tribune's decision, she...is welcomed to speak to a cur rent editor”). As I have talked with a current Tribune editor, a resigning Tribune editor, as well as various members of SSM U, I feel that my opinion is well-founded. As you stand by your decision to not print the article surrounding allegations of illegal conduct by an ex-member of the SSMU exectuive, I stand by my opinion that it was irresponsible of you to not to fu lfill your mandate of informing the student body.

The referendum is’'dirtiest trick On the eve of the Referendum I received a late-night call from a NOside organiser making a last-ditch pitch for legal advisors to work at M ontreal polling stations. He claimed that the PQ was planning to prevent thousands of NO-inclined voters from casting their ballots. My first inclination was that this alleged PQ plot was the product of a para noid, partisan mind. After some dis cussion, I decided to do it. Classes were cancelled at M cGill and if we were living through Canada’s last day, I at least wanted a view from the battlefront. Tw elve hours later I found m yself shivering in a high school gymnasium on the South Shore. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by a Polling Captain who directed me to the lawyers’ box — a 5 foot by 5 foot area where legal advisors for the Y E S and NO sides were relegat ed. It was a rather unglamorous start to my tour of duty but I was ready for battle. My counterpart, a forty something lawyer from Outremont looked slick, practiced and up-tospeed on Quebec electoral law. As I entered the box he gave me a tri umphant, sideward sneer. I coun tered with a come-and-get-it look in the hope that he’d decide against it. My ten-minute briefing at a Montreal law firm left me with no clear sense of my legal mission. In absence of a clear directive, I did what every confused lawyer does — I did what the other guy did. For the first hour he paced about the box. I stayed on him. For hours on end we stood back-to-back and scanned the

Can handle the truth I am very confused. I have recently learned from your paper that a member of the students’ soci ety’s executive has been forced to resign. Th is seems to me to be a rather serious m atter, and yet I haven’t been told why this person has resigned from his elected office. As a first year student at M cGill, I may not have my ear to the hearbeat of students politics, but this does not mean that I don’ t care what my elected representatives are doing. I gymnasium for voting irregularities. From my watchpost of democracy — just below the basketball net — all was quiet on the electoral front. Hours of standing took its toll on us so we both took a seat. Having resigned ourselves to our cramped, shared quarters we tried to make life bearable in the box. The three-point line on the basketball court divided our space, creating a b rie f and uneasy peace between us. For a few quiet moments, we retreated to our two solitudes. With one eye on each other and the other on our newspa pers, he scanned Le Devoir while I skimmed the Globe. As the day wore on we realised that neither of us were going to be of much use. No one’ s rights were being tram pled, thank you very much, and democracy was working just fine. It was the quintessential Canadian event — polite, unevent ful, and tediously bland. Our time together produced an unspoken fox hole camaraderie. We exchanged newspapers, bought rounds of stale coffee and played rock-paper-scis sors. I had grown fond of this stranger on the other side of the line. Politics had made us neighbours but boredom made us friends. When I left, we wished each other “bonne chance” with the reminder that we’d still respect each other in the morn ing. In the parking lot, a sympathet ic poll attendant suggested that I must be disappointed at not having had any work to do. While not find ing work weighs heavily on the mind of law students these days, I was proud of my complete useless ness. T h is polling station was manned by neighbours, on both sides of the debate, who knew each other, whose kids attended the same schools and who had a community

had always been under the impres sion that the job of keeping an eye on the government was something the press took great pride in. Obviously this is not the case with your fine journal. The SSMU repre sents all M cGill students, and from what I can gather, controls a fair amount of money. However, your newspaper feels that it should not report to its readership what a mem ber of the executive was doing that may have been in conflict with his position. For a ll I know, Mr Benedict may have been expropriat ing money from the SSMU budget or running Gert’s as a money laun dering front. Sure, you may snicker at these allegatio ns, but only because you know the truth. I have no clue what he was doing and feel rather left out. It seems as though your editorial board is afraid that if it reports about the shady dealings of an elected student representative, they w ill be sinking to the depths of “ A lio Police.” In fact, by holding the story you are reneging on your responsibility to inform the students of M cGill on issues of public conContinued on Page 8 I I

in common. There were no dirty tricks happening here — ju st a neighbourhood’ s democratic ritual run by none other than its very own. The last thing good neighbours need is a lawyer on hand. Or so I thought. I was saddened to learn of the alleged ballot spoiling that occurred in some Quebec rid in g s. The Referendum was an ugly affair that w ill be remembered for its more famous dirty tricks: scaremongering politicians, one-sided media and big spending big business. If there’s any beauty left in democracy, it resides in its least obvious participants — individual citizens who participate in and legitimise the process. Over the course of Referendum Day, I watched hundreds of Quebeckers pour through a damp high school gymnasium to participate in the sin gle most important act in a democra tic system. I was moved to see peo ple line up for hours totting children, walkers, and half-eaten lunches to make their opinion known. If neigh bours have taken to tearing up bal lots to decide the issues that divide us, then we’ve seen the dirtiest elec toral trick of them all. For our sake, let’s hope it’s not true.

I live from day-to-day know ing that my ascent to heaven is far from assured. As a kid, I habitual ly helped my peers off the swing, u su a lly by pushing them hard enough and fast enough to speed their departure and make them cry. Whenever my teacher was in the classroom, I ’d obey her every com m and; if she were naive enough to leave, I ’ d organise a coup. I had the heart of a heathen and a toothless grin. An angel, I was not. If Jerry Falw ell and his ilk are truly God’s messengers, my furious fate is sealed. That’s why I spend consider able tim e fig u rin g out how to smile with smoke swirling at my

W hat it takes to get noticed

IColumn B lock C o ffee SusanPeters It has come to my attention that some people are under the im pression I ’ m w ritin g a humourous column. Gentle reader, if you hold this belief, I urge you to turn the page and read Dave Bushnell’ s column; he may even have something amusing to say. Really, really, bad things happen to people who make jokes about sub je cts that aren’ t funny. I once watched a comedian at an Amnesty International benefit try and make jokes about torture. We were not amused. The reason you haven’ t heard any good torture jokes lately is that there aren’t any. It definitely seems inappropri ate to make jokes about Ken SaroW iw a. As you may recall, SaroWiwa was one of nine people exe cuted by the Nigerian government earlier this month (November 10). He was a 54-year-old writer, envi ronm entalist, and Ogoni people activist. Amnesty International, a human rights organisation of which I ’m a member, believes the trials of the nine were politically-motivated and grossly unfair. As a result of the executions, the Commonwealth suspended Nigeria’s membership. The outpouring of attention towards Saro-W iw a’ s execution makes me slightly uneasy. On the one hand, it’s obviously good that the public hears about a case like this. On the other hand, his death may become just another political symbol. The problems with sym bols are that they ignore the big pic

ture, turn real individuals into caus es, and simplify issues. Human rights violations go on constantly around the globe, even if the ten o’clock news doesn’t always report on them. Nigeria alone cur rently has 43 other political prison ers. This week the M cG ill student Am nesty International group received urgent actions on cases in S y ria , the U .S ., G reece, Côte d’ Iv o ire , U zb ekistan, and V enezuela. The urgent actions report alleged incidents of torture, execution, and “disappearances” of people as young as nine. As terrible as the symbol of Saro-Wiwa’s exe cution may seem, we shouldn’t for get less prominent human rights abuses. Symbols let us see the trees, sometimes overlooking the forest to do so. But symbols also sometimes allow us to forget that the dead were real people. In case you were wondering, the other eight men executed alongside Saro-W iw a w ere: D r. Barinem K io b e l, Saturday Dobee, Paul Le vu ra , Nordu Eawo, Felix Nuate, Daniel Gbokoo, John Kp u in en , and Baribor Bera. Few newspaper arti cles printed the men’s names. I have sim ilar concerns with how we treat the December 6 mas sacre. A s that date nears, Montrealers (and others) remember how in 1989 Marc Lépine killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnique because they were women. I sym pathise with those who lost their daughters, sisters, girlfriends, and

friends that day. And I regret that by viewing their deaths as a symbol of violence against women we tend to forget that they were individuals before they became a collective of poster-girls. When something lik e the Lépine slaying happens, it’s big and dramatic and focuses attention, and becomes a rallying cry for a cause. It also makes me wonder what’ s wrong with us, that it takes some thing like a machine-gun slaying to emphasise that there’ s a problem with gender inequality in Canada. It shouldn’t take 14 deaths or a oncea-year vig il to remind us that, oh right, men abuse, assault, rape, and k ill women everyday. Just exams may be hell but no one needs to die because this year a lunatic with a gun didn’t go out and murder 14 women in an engineering class room, that doesn’ t make 1995 a good year for women’ s human rights. I worry that by focussing e xclu sive ly on the December 6 massacre as a symbol of violence against women, we may be simpli fying the issue down to, “ I don’ t support k illin g women with machine-guns.” Does that mean using your fists or a beer bottle is okay? Using an extreme example as a symbol makes it too easy to dis connect the symbol from its appro priate context, in this case one of system ic discrim ination against women. The positive side of symbols is that they work, putting a face and a name and a life story to what would otherwise be statistics. People who norm ally w ouldn’ t read about human rights in Nigeria, or reflect on violence against women, do so. But we need to also see beyond the symbols, which are sometimes too pat, too glib, too simple.

I study aloud, appropriating the voices of famous and not-sofamous people as I recite informa tion. M y neighbours enjoy the show. Other people imitate their professors when they study. Do something to escape the monotony of sitting at your desk, half-awake and half-asleep. Furthermore, when you’re not studying, unburden yourself. Don’t sit alone in your dungeon, unshow ered, unshaven and unpleasant. Go out. Make a new friend in the library. Sharing stress is an underutilised technique of seduction. Treat yourself kindly and your mind w ill return the com pliment. Finally, don’t complicate your date with destiny. Don’t, for exam ple, bring your books and notes to an exam. Angels w ill salivate at your naked insecurity; you’ ll end

up less rather than more sure of yo u rse lf after th eir impromptu inquisition. Moreover, get a good seat: a table that doesn’ t rock, a chair suited to the contours of your posterior, and a view that’ s attrac tive rather than offensive. It’s like watching a m ovie, only without the popcorn. W hatever you do, don’ t let anyone see you sweat. When you can begin, don’t dive right in and start scribbling aw ay. Turn the question paper over serenely. Read it like a recipe rather than an ulti matum. Before you begin, take a deep breath, thank the government fo r m aking you so sm art, and smile at the invigilator, as though to say, “ Is this the best you could do?” Then ease your way into the exam and conclude your march of survival. Standing at the foot of the W ashington Monument, M artin Luther King once said, “ With this faith we w ill be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.” May your march through hell be equally inspired. To the faithless, I say, “ Good luck in the asylum .” To the fa ith fu l, I say, “ See you in January.”

cem. Although you seek to defend yourselves under the guise of editor ial responsibility, what you seem to be saying in your glittering editorial of Novermber 21, 1995, is “ We know the truth, and you don’ t, nanny, nanny, poo-poo” . I feel like

Reasons to vote OUI Dear Tyla Berchtold, Your editorial of Nov. 7, titled “A Word on the Results “ proved a very disappointing surprise. I could hardly believe that the M cGill stu dent body could not generate young journalists of better quality. I could not help but wonder if the unsigned editorials were not an invitation to

botching. You ask, half-way down a shal low text, to “ come up with ONE good reason why Quebec deserves any special treatment” . This is akin to ask why would anyone have voted OUI to the referendum, why anyone would want Quebec to become a sovereign country. As unbelievable as it may sound, in your narrow vision, nearly 2.5 mil lion OUI [60% from francophones] did not trigger in your mind even a faint spark of reflexion. A ll these 2,500,000 O U Is are w orthless [“come up with one good reason” ], but your single NON is worthwhile! [psychiatrists have a label for simi lar thinking process]. Amongst intelligent, mature people, one can agree to diagree yet understanding, or at least trying to understand, another person’s views. You are obviously incapable of such an adult exercise which casts heavy doubts on your capabilities as an editorialist. Reading your column raised three questions for me: 1) do you read? 2) do you understand what you read? 3) are you able to open your mind and your heart to anyone who holds different view s than yours? Have you read L ise Bissonnette’ s ed ito rials in Le Devoir? Recognised as a leading French Quebec e d ito ria list, she spelled out most clearly several good reasons to cast the O UI. If you do not read some of the best editori als written in La B elle Province, you are at serious fault. If you do not understand that any of her rea

Given the definition of integri ty, there is little room for interpreta tion. Either it’s honest or it’s not. In my opinion, Tribune has been dis honest in its presentation of the facts both in its decision not to run the “mystery story” and its reasons for doing so. In the November 21 editorial entitled “ Newspapers make deci sions” the editor(s) quoted an edito rial written by a former Editor-inChief (September 14, 1994). The statements cited a journal istic conflict: “ ...balancing what we know and what we can print. Given the framework that most journalists work in, where they are privy to many the piece of inside informa tion, that is often difficult.” Not cited was the form er Editor-in-Chief’ s justification for his statements: “ Learning about impropriety at any level and not being able to print due to a lack of sources or substantive material is particularly infuriating...” Having personally edited the “ mystery story” , I can assure you, the readership, that there was nei ther a lack of sources, nor unsub stantiated m aterial. The editorial decision not to run the story accord ing to this argument is not sound. As for the problem “ of balanc ing our duty to inform the reader with our own morals and priorities” (editorial, November 21), there is no conflict. The duty to inform the reader of substantiated information is the priority of the journalist. In three separate votes the ed board supported the story. The ini tial vote was an overwhelming 111, and the third and final vote was

sons are valid then you seriously lack judgem ent since most Canadians and NON voters agreed that profound changes were needed in Canada to keep it from splitting. No less than USA’s Times and France’s Le Monde agreed! I f you read and claim you understood, and still write what you wrote, than your mind and heart are hopelessly narrow and I pity you and your readers. I w ill give you one simple rea son why I voted OUI both 15 years ago and this time, and w ill the next time. And you do not have to agree but I leave you no choice: it is for me a very good reason. Quebec wants sovereignty because it has come of age. I le ft my parent’ s home, “ my home” , full of love and thankfullness fo r having been equipped to face the world, asking for no guarantee, and for nothing else but their continued love. Do you intend to live with your parents forever? [psychiatrists also have a label for that...] You know when Camus wrote his ever famous ed ito rials in Combat, the French Resistance newspaper, he was only a few years older than you, and he alw ays analysed both [or many] sides of a problem before generously taking side. The comparison is not unfair. Talent is one thing, openmindedness and openheartedness is another. I am discussing the latter in case you have not understood. Respecfully yours,

Marcel Boisvert MD McGill ‘61 8-5. Votes were cast w ith the knowledge of majority rule. The dem ocratic process imposed by the Editor-in-Chief for the purpose of this story was not upheld. One editor threatened to resign despite her having voted in support of the story. Two editors in fact did resign, and have since been reinstated. Threat of resignation became the basis for the decision not to run the sto ry. “ Consensus” soon replaced “majority” in the decision making “ ...[T]he decision to cut the story arose from the belief that the nature of this specific story required an editorial board consensus.” As one of the decision-makers, I assure you that this is not true. In light of the “decision” , those who felt that the newspaper had compromised its integrity were obligated to resign. This stated, the “ gratuitous slap in the face” was not initiated by those who chose to resign silently but those who threatened to do so and impeded the dem ocratic process. The Tribune is not a governing body. However, the decision not to run a substantiated news story is inherently political as is the deci sion not to run the story. Fin ally, the editorial declared that the story was held “to maintain the integrity of the group.” In fail ing to be accountable to its readership, comply with the majority vote, and support its decision with sound and honest argument, the Tribune destroyed its own integrity. Indeed, newspapers make deci sions. The Tribune has chosen, and integrity was not the choice.

In Search O f ... a topic that could cover h a lf the page

IColumn Trouble and Desire David Bushnell This week I was going to write about the Tribune Mystery Article, but a sad little puppy look from Sylvie Babarik asked me not to. So, being the media whore that I am, I ’ ll tell anybody everything they want to know about the article for a nominal fee of $5.00. Just contact me, c/o the Tribune, and we’ ll make an appointment and then I ’ll tell you everything because that’s all I know. It’s really no big deal, but if you’re interested I ’ ll give you a hint: it’s got something to do with prairie oysters. This week I was going to write about having my cast taken off, but I couldn’t stretch the topic to fit this column space. I was going to write something along the lin es o f, “Forget body piercing and tattoos. If you want real pain, the hip thing is falling into one of those construc tion pits on Ste. Catherine’ s and then trying to fix your broken finger yourself.” It still hurts, OK? This week I was going to write about Christmas, because ‘tis the season blah blah blah, but I don’t find that topic particularly interest ing and besides, Josh Bezonsky

already did the definitive version in his column in the Mirror, I think, but I can never tell because my eyes seem to glaze over a few lines after the beginning and then I just look for any reference to JoJo. Besides, I much prefer the new kid on the b lo ck, Kw aanza (or is it “Kwanzaa” ?), to the neighbourhood bullies, Christmas and Channukah. This week I was going to write about people overdoing it, like the girl from the SSM U desk whose name rhymes with “Erin,” who was giving a party so she made a huge stack of 8.5 x 11 photocopied invi tations and then she had to kick out a huge crowd that still hadn’t left by 5 a.m. the next morning. This week I was going to write about all the players in the conflict in the Middle East, but I couldn’t figure out why they’re killing each other over such a cruddy piece of real estate. Really, you don’t see car bombs going off in New Jersey and people throwing rocks as part of some ancient religious conflict/ritual. I mean, car bombs do go off and people do throw rocks in New Je rse y, but they do that only because there’s nothing better to do.

“ You don’ t need an ideology to knock over a liquor store,” said a character in Simple Men (coinciden tally, the source of this column’ s name). This week I was going to write about how much I hate work, but that’s one of those “So what else is new?” things. I remember reading an interview with Rev. Ivan Stang, one of the heads of the Church of the Sub-Genius, and one of the questions was, “ What’ s the most diabolical torture you know?” and Rev. Stang answered, “Money wor ries. Create a system whereby one must ‘work’ to ‘live’ .” Pretty slick, huh? This week I was going to write about the Brian Mulroney/Airbus scandal. Government officials from the ‘80s were corrupt? No way! It’s too bad that people feel sorry for Ronald “Satan” Reagan because he has Alzheimer’s, it would be most sweet if we could make that guy pay for his evil and then maybe he could share a cell with Mulroney and George “ L u c ife r” Bush. Nobody seems to mind Bush as much as the other two, but that’s only because Bush was/is more devious. In 1981, V ice President Bush was friends with a guy named John H in ckle y, S r., whose son, John J r ., tried to k ill President Reagan. Coincidence or cover-up? But I don’t think I ’ ll write about conspiracies for the simple fact that they make the writer look like a raving psycho, hence the term

Look, I ’m damn tired! I don’t care who’ s been “ naughty” and who’s been “ nice” ! In the ’90s, it’s all relative. For instance, you’ re naughty when you steal from a church, but you’ re nice if you don’t burn it down, too. You brats make me sick. Here’s your little dog and pony show, you worms.

6) Sweet revenge against your enem ies w ithout being put in prison. 5) Cool toys. It’ s socks and underwear for you, buddy. 4) A tan, or if you’re going to warmer climes, a tan without skin cancer. 3) Boots that won’t rot in all the damn salt that the C ity of

10) That nagging feeling that you get ten blocks away from home when you realise you forgot to lock the front door or turn off the faucet or unchain your room mate. 9) Love or hope. We all die alone and afraid, kids. 8) Proof of the existence of a Higher Power™ who w ill forgive your sins and provide salvation. Christmas used to be a celebration of Christ’s birth until someone fig ured out that it was all a ploy to draw the pagans away from their winter solstice orgies. 7) A respite from the crass com m ercialism of modern-day life. You’ll be inundated with Xmas crap until December 26, then yo u ’ ll be swamped w ith New Y e a r’ s garbage until January 2, then yo u’ ll be drowning in Valentine’ s sewage until you’ ll want to die, afraid and alone (cf #9), on February 14.

about how Canada sucks and America rocks because Canadian Thanksgiving is a three-day week end in October whereas American Thanksgiving is a four-day week end in Novem ber, but I pretty summed up that topic right there.

How do you feel about McGill? What do you think about services offered by McGill and the SSMU? Do you want to see changes brought about? The Quality of Student life Committee is preparing a survey to find out what students think the important issues on campus are. This survey will be used as a tool for future changes to benefit all students.

November 28th, 1995

» Continued from Page 23 d am n early . W hile th e fo u r new tracks hidden cleverly w ithin the first h alf are a bit iffy, the rest of th e alb u m is co m p rise d o f th e ir more radio-friendly songs. Among the new attempts, “Sacred Ground” has a characteristically catchy riff that goes beyond their guitar noise. T h e se le c tio n ra n g e s fro m th e ir fled g lin g break through “C ult o f Personality” to lesser know ns like “W h a t’s Y our F av o rite C o lo r? ” . W hile the band hasn’t altered any o f th e o th e r songs, th e rem ix o f “L o v e R ears Its U gly H ead” and th e ir liv e versio n o f “M em o ries C a n ’t W a it” are b o th e n jo y a b le variations on the originals. People w h o lik e w h a t th e y ’ve se e n o f L iv in g C o lo u r on M T V , but not en o u g h to tru st an en tire album , m ay w an t to in v e st in th is one. T h eir m ost popular songs are all covered, and it’s pretty convenient having them all on a single collec tion.

—Rachel Stokoe Tracy Chapman New Beginning (Warner) It’s ironic that Chapman chose the nam e New Beginning, because when I listen to this album, all I can think about is how C hapm an will p ro b ab ly alw ays ju s t be th e one w ho san g “F a st C a r” . C h ap m an seem s to be quickly approaching official one-hit-w onder status, and this album is not going to slow that p ro ce ss dow n. As my room m ate sarcastically put it, “Boy, they sure

pick ed the rig h t guy to review a slo w , fo lk y re c o rd !” E v en so, I c a n ’t h e lp fin d in g th is alb u m intensely boring. Chapman is obvi o u sly an d d e s p a ra te ly try in g to recapture that sound o f her glory days — definitely not a new begin ning. Despite the fact that the songs are more fully orchestrated and pro d u ce d , and d e sp ite th e fa c t th a t there is a w ide v ariety o f in stru m en ts (ev en a d id je rid u on one song), the song structure is o f that same slow , sad, bitter-sw eet style w e’ve come to know. — Joe Hessney

The Herbaliser Remedies (Ninja Tune/Cargo) This trip-hop collage is almost as eclectic as the front cover illus tration — colourful, cluttered and all o v e r th e p la c e . T h e re la x e d grooves are heavy w ith acid jazz in flu e n c e an d sh o rt little lo o p s boosted from all o v er the place. Much o f this disc recalls the hey day of Blue Note jazz and a ton of Herbie Hancock-inspired electronic noodling. The seams between sam ples and live instrum ents are well con cealed , but few o f the track s succeed in com bining m ore than one or two interesting riffs, making for a very repetitive, background m u z ak fe e l. T he b e a ts la c k th e drive to make this aggressive, and i t ’s ju s t n o t w arm e n o u g h to achieve su fficien t ch ill q uotient. With a few exceptions (“Herbalize It”, “A Little G roove”), and some h a lf d ec en t rh y m in g on “W rong Place”, the only track with vocals,

n o th in g h e re re a lly c a u g h t my attention. — Harris Newman

Spookey Ruben Modes o f Transportation Vol. 1 (TVT) C o m p le te w ith sp a c e -a g e d p ack ag in g and a handy picto rial g u id e to each song, this T oronto resident’s debut comes in the wake of a somewhat demented video and years of honing his pop chops. The terrib le ‘80s drum m achines, the b ig p s e u d o -o r c h e s tr a l a r r a n g e m e n ts, th e c h ild r e n ’s to y s , th e falsetto chants, Ruben has every thing it takes to become a true artpop icon/sicko. Even if you hate th is r e c o rd , no o n e c a n c a ll Spookey unoriginal. But if you’re d o w n w ith th e ep ic p o p cu ltu re c ro o n e rs o f th e ‘6 0 s, an d th e to n g u e -in -c h e e k p s y c h e d e lia o f W e e n , th e F la m in g L ip s an d Mercury Rev, you may even like it. A few tracks grow repetitive and b ite r iff s fro m ea c h o th e r, b u t Spookey keeps the sound materials fre s h . E s s e n tia lly w o rk fro m a singer/songw riter who turns straw to g old w ith b o atlo ad s o f clev er sam ples and instrum entation, this album is bound to grab the atten tion o f the more adventurous listen er. — Harris Newman

G. Love & Special Sauce Coast to Coast Motel (OKeh/epic) Trying to follow up his stellar

debut was at best a pointless exer cise, but G. Love and crew were smart enough here to develop natu rally rather than feed the fancy of b a c k w ard s b a se b a ll caps e v e ry where. In this case, progression is regression. Gone are the low down dirty hip-hop grooves, replaced by a d o z e n tra c k s o f m o re o r le ss straig h t d elta-in sp ired blues. Big w arm u p rig h t bass, snazzy ja zz y drum s, and the man G. on dobro, paw nshop electric and harmonica, Coast to Coast M otel is a solid, catchy album that fails to offer anyth in g in n o v a tiv e . W h e re a s G. L o v e’s debut at least pushed into g ro u n d b re a k in g te r r ito r y , th is album just proves that, good as it is, the blues masters of old have a firm grasp on their crown. G. Love may not do it better, but he does it with sauce. — Harris Newman

Aceyalone All Balls Don't Bounce (Capitol / EMI) T his C alifo rn ia crew has hit the world with a fresh dose of lite jazz beats and soft-flowing rhymes.

Goodie MoB Soul Food (LaFace/Arista/BMG) It is very rare that a rap group seem s to understand the platform th a t th e m u sic o ffe rs th e m to express their views. Coming out of c o u n trifie d A tla n ta , th e G o o d ie MoB (the G ood D ie M ostly Over B u llsh it) d o n ’t w aste tim e w ith buster rhymes, they use their sixty m inutes on wax to say w hat they feel. It is equally rare for genuine em otion to come through in rap, but as the title o f the album suggests, the MoB is drenched in soul. Hand clapping and gospelized choruses give the m usic a feel that alm ost makes you believe you’re in a churach with m inisters Cee-Lo, Gipp, Khujo, and T-M o preaching at you. Not all o f the songs fall into this mode, but most ofthe cuts that real ly hit do. The M oB ’s standout is C e e -L o , w h o w ith h is so o th in g so u th ern draw l flex es as h ard as any NY MC. W hile not all o f the beats hit, jam s like “Cell Therapy,” “ G u e ss W h o ” a n d “T h e D ay A fter,” m akes this disc definitely worth a listen. — Andrew Cappell

In th e ir first hom e and league gam e o f the se a so n th e M a rtle ts looked unorganised and unm otivated. It seem ed like the mighty Martlets were in no mood to play against the lowly Gaiters an d it sh o w e d as th e G aiters outjum ped, outsh o t an d o u t ra n th e highly talen ted M cG ill women. W ith fiv e m in u tes le ft in th e g a m e , th e M artlets finally cam e to life.

and outscored the Laval team 35-20 in the first half. Tessier continued her torrid pace scoring 19 points and g rab b ed 6 reb o u n d s.

The only sour note o f th e w eekend fo r the M a rtle ts had to be th e lo ss o f s e n io r D eb b y M orse who blew out her k n e e an d w ill h av e to undergo a magnetic reso nance im aging te st this Wednesday. Morse was a starting forw ard for the Martlets. T h e M a rtle ts are now 10-3 overall and 2-0 in league play.

By D ana T oering Sitting at home a week ago, watching the Montreal Canadians put the O ttaw a Senators in their place, I could not help but feel a pang o f anxiety. It was sim ilar to the feeling that first cam e to me when the Great Strike of 94 cut the baseball season short and basically sp e lle d the en d o f p ro fe ssio n a l baseball in Montreal. W hy th is a n x io u s fe e lin g w hen the C anadians are looking more like Les Glorieux o f old and le ss lik e th e team th a t d id n ot make the playoffs for the first time in decades? T h is a n x ie ty c o m e s from som e reflection upon the storied tales o f the greatest franchise in pro fessio n al sp o rts histo ry . The glorified M ontreal Canadiens got me th in k in g ab o u t g reat team s, great dynasties and their impact on the ever changing sports’ world of the ‘90s. T o su g g e s t th a t th e re w ill never be dynasties that can rival those o f the Canadians o f the ‘70s, the L akers o f the early ‘80s, the Yankees of the ‘50s is a pretty pes sim istic view. However, it is one that comes to mind in light of the big business approach to sports of the ‘90s. In the age of salary arbi tration, free agency, small and big m a rk e ts, s trik e s a n d lo c k o u ts, where does a dynasty fit in? I really d o n ’t think the New J e rs e y D e v ils w ill re p e a t as Stanley Cup Champions (let alone stay in Jersey ) so we can count them out as d y n asty . A re b a se

ball’s Toronto Blue Jays a dynasty because they b ought them selves two W orld Series championships? C ould the Chicago Bulls be con sidered a dynasty considering the Jordan situation o f the past year? Are the Dallas Cowboys a football dynasty once again as Jerry Jones swindles his way through NFL law rh e to r ic an d b u y s h is c h a m p i onship back from Ed D eB artello Jr. o f the San Francisco 49ers? I guess it depends what your definition o f dynasty is, but these teams sure aren’t high on my list. T h e u n ific a tio n o f m o d ern sports and big business confuses the hell out o f many fans. Sports have ceased to be mere games for the casual spectator and the fren zied fan. The glory days o f sports for sp o rts’ sake have long since faded into the background. The hope o f the Red, W hite an d B lu e w in n in g fiv e straig h t Stanley Cups is no longer a dream, it is an im p o s sib ility . A n o th e r e x a m p le is th a t o f th e g re a t Edm onton O ilers who dom inated the ‘80s, only to be systematically sold by ow ner Peter Pocklington for a tidy sum. P o c k lin g to n ’s g a ra g e sale in c lu d e d th e p ro -a th le te th a t I thought would be the last to sell out for money. All-Canadian boy Wayne Gretzky traded in his snow shoes and M olson Ex fo r ro ller blades and champagne. The pro athlete o f the ‘90s is a whole other can o f worms. After all, it is the players who make the dynasty possible. T heir situation

lead for the Redmen. Benoit Leroux feathered a perfect pass across the crease to a waiting Angers. Angers made no m istake, as he deposited the puck into an open net. W ith six m in u te s le ft, Marcellus scored his second goal of the night, which vaulted McGill into a 4-2 lead after the first period. At the start of the second peri od, it became clear that the second place ranking o f UQ TR w as well deserved. “W e d id n o t d e s e rv e to be down by tw o goals after the first, and I think this team showed a lot of heart playing the way they did in the second p erio d ,” said U Q TR head coach Dany Dube. UQTR dominated the first ten minutes of the second frame, ham m ering seven shots at D aniel and scoring on two of them. Although there was no scoring in the third period, both teams had good opportunities. The best of those chances came w ith only a m inute rem ain in g as Angers nearly won it for McGill. Angers, the third year forward from A n cien n e-L o rette, Q uebec, gained control of a loose puck, skat ed in front of the net, and wristed a shot that had the top right hand cor ner of the net written all over it. P atrio te backup g o alie JeanPascal Lem elin whipped the glove hand around and denied A nger of the potential game-winning goal and hat trick. M c G ill h ea d co a ch T erry Bangen found som ething positive amid the heartbreaking loss. “I think we put in a great effort. W e h av e n o t p la y e d in a lo t o f games like this where it is pressure. I’m very proud of our players, just a little disappointed with the result.” E a rlie r in th e w ee k , the R edm en d efeated th e C o n co rd ia Stingers in Loyola for their fifth win of the season. It was M cGill first win in four games. Sniper Pierre Gendron supplied the offensive firepower for the Red ‘n ’ W hite, en route to a four-goal night and 6-3 win over Concordia.

T h e R e d m e n p a d d e d th e ir advantage in the dying moments of the opening period, this time shorthanded. Gendron found the back of the net on a tw o-one-break. After the first 20 minutes, McGill led their crosstown rivals, 2-0. The Stingers sawed the McGill lead in h alf tw o m inutes into the second period. Daniel fell after he h a d m ad e th e in ita l sa v e , and Stinger centre Eric Nadeau lifted the rebound over the McGill goaltender. M cG ill seized control o f the rem ainder o f the period, thanks in part to Concordia’s penalty troubles. W ith a tw o -m an -ad v a n ta g e, McGill forward Gendron cashed in on the Stingers’ penalties and com pleted the hat trick as he blistered the p uck p ast S tin g er n etm in d e r Christian Dutil. Ten minutes later, again on the pow er play, Routhier unleashed a rocket from the high slot, making it 4-1 for the Redmen. Unfortunately for the Stingers, Gendron was not satisfied with only three goals. His fourth goal o f the night and 11th o f the season gave McGill what appeared to be a com fortable four-goal cushion heading into the third. The Stingers, however, tried to make things interesting in the final fram e. C oncordia rallied for tw o goals in the opening ten minutes of th e p erio d . W ith the m om entum shifting and the lead in jeopardy, M cGill quelled the Stinger com e back w ith solid hitting and sound defence.

o bring in an article of non-perishable food and help make Christmas a bit brighter for people in need. The food collected will be donated to Auberge Transition (a shelter for battered women and their children) and Les enfants de l’espoir (an organization that helps families in crisis). Because both these organi zations tend to many very young babies, donations of baby food would be greatly appreciated. S
