kin e tic e le c tric ity into eve ry crevice of Montreal. The city is so deeply infiltrated that even people who have not had any exposure to contemporary dance tend to stum ble into it. “If you want to dip your feet in, this is the place to get them w e t,” says Dena D a vid a , V ic e President of Programming for the fe stiva l and one o f its three founders. Its conception in 1982 was the result of Davida’s vision. She saw the need for a structure supporting the “ burgeoning and b u b b lin g ” dance culture in Montreal. F o r seven years, the most important avant-garde choreogra phers from around the globe have come to Montreal to partake in a two-week intensive dance perfor mance schedule. This year’ s pro gram boasts 55 performances as w e ll as conferences, lectures, films, video-dance programs and visual art/dance exposés. The festival, insists Davida, is much more than a marketplace. “Dance is an essential activity in our society because, right now, we are losing our physical bodies. It offers an urgent balance to the technological present and future of sitting typing keys with fingers,” she said.

Every year the festival choos es a thematic highlight. This year i t ’ s the most expe rim e n ta l of Dutch dance. Holland’s W illiam Forsythe, a major force in the contemporary choreographic scene, is in the spot light as he travels to Montreal for the first time w ith the adopted Ballett Frankfurt. Holland has long been on the cutting edge of dance with its m ulti-disciplinary chore ography. It is teeming with vibrant young choreographers who dare to experiment. So w here is Canada in all this? D a v id a dares to d iv id e French from English Canada when describing style. She insists that both break new ground. Quebec has fostered a leading expressionistic style with characteristic raw ness and intensity. English Canada (when it dares to experiment) is known for blazoning socio-politi cal activism. “Yo u couldn’t see better com panies if you travelled to Paris,” said D a v id a . “ T h e best in the world really do end up at our festi val.” T o see our dislocated lives reflected on stage, Davida urges audiences to check-out T a m m y Forsythe - “It’s miss X , girl gang, film noire,” contends Davida. A n o th e r youth gang from Holland, Leine/ Robana/ Norton, is on the punk edge while Blok and Steele are “hyper kinetic, athletic,

Principal Shapiro presents vision of M cGill’s future A downsized, private, research intensive McGill By C onnie Kim

c G ill Principal Bernard Sh a p iro has re cen tly released what has been regarded as one of the most sub stantial and concise financial and academic reports on the present and future positions of M c G ill. Entitled “Towards a New M c G ill” , the report proposes eventually to make M c G il l in to a w o r ld renowned, research intensive and privately funded institution. Th e ‘N ew M c G ill’ however, must be considered w ithin very different academic and financial

frameworks. Primarily, the report envisions a much smaller student body. M cG ill would be composed of an equal number of graduate and undergraduate students and ultimately, selected undergraduate and professional schools would be eliminated. The goal of this would be to eventually bring the profes sor-student ratio down to approxi m a te ly te n -to -o n e . H o w e v e r, asserted Shapiro, this would sub sequently abolish the role of the teaching assistant. “Graduate students could not be funded as T A s ,” he said. “There are, however, many other alterna

msV

tives that could be worked out.” Lisa G ru s h c o w , S S M U V P U n iv e rs ity A ffa irs , anticipates problems with the eradication of teaching assistant positions. “For many graduate students, teaching assistant positions are a major source of their funding,” she stated. “W ith these positions elim inated, more graduate students will have to rely on financial aid.” A first year Masters student, who requested to remain anony m ous, c o n firm e d G ru s h c o w ’ s concern. “Teaching assistant positions provide the bread and butter for

graduate students,” she said. Another academic proposal within the report is for a strategic partn e rship w ith C o n c o rd ia . Shapiro asserted that the joint ven ture could serve to greatly benefit M cG ill. “M cG ill and its sister univer sities, e sp e cia lly those in the M ontreal area, need to consider the w ays in w h ic h th e ir jo in t actions can be beneficial not only to each other but also with regard to the wider community, the tax payer, etc.,” Shapiro said. “There Continued on P ag e 2

offer suggestions on outsourcing possibilities. It is hoped that the project w ill enable students to have a say regarding university links to industry. “ Hopefully we can all come out to gethe r w ith a solid viewpoint, and when Shapiro gives us the opportunity to present our position on these issues we can present som e th in g th a t’ s been v e ry w e ll re searched, something th a t’ s c le a r, and something that rep resents as many stu dents as possible,” said Myers. A n open forum w ill g iv e students further opportunity to get in v o lv e d in the planning process _________ at M c G ill. The S S M U urges stu dents to get involved in the planning process. “ If we don’ t [get involved], this thing is really going to pass us by, and I don’t want this to be the year that students d id n ’ t do what they had to do,” Grushcow said.

are already examples of this at work. [There are] four Montrealarea universities, w hich have a jo in t P h .D . p ro g ra m in Management. M c G ill and Ecole Polytechnique have a jo in t pro gram in M ining Engineering,” he said. Grushcow views such a part nership as potentially counterpro ductive. “M cG ill and Concordia serve two very different markets, and other than C o n c o rd ia ’ s lib ra ry facilities and fine arts departments, there is not much else that a part nership w o u ld co n trib u te to M c G ill’s future,” she stated. O n the financial side of the plan, M c G ill w o uld shift away fro m g o ve rn m e n t fu n d in g and operate on private tuition fees and income. This has led to questions

about whether Shapiro intends to privatise M cG ill. “ It is true, simply by defini tio n , that m o v in g aw ay from reliance on government funding — if that, indeed, is the choice that we make — [w ill lead] us to a greater degree of privatisation,” explained Shapiro. It is suspected that the privati sation of M c G ill could result in tuition fees as high as $15,000. Shapiro feels that currently, constraining governm ent funds limit M c G ill’ s capacity to attract the best academic staff within the international market. “ Th e ensuing debate [c o n cerning funding] could lead us into a direction detrimental to the abili ty o f M c G ill to com pete on a world market for the best academ ic staff possible,” he stated. Shapiro maintained however,

that the report is only in its initial stages and must undergo refine ment. “ [T h e re p o rt] is presented here only to provide a basis for a broad discussion that must take place within the university com m u n ity , go ve rn m e n t and, of course, with other key stake hold ers in our [M c G ill] environment,” Shapiro stated. “ W e are at the b e g in n in g , not the end, o f the process of consideration.” C o u n c il has responded by ad d in g a ‘ think ta n k ’ to the already established planning com mittee. It w ill serve as a general and broad co n su lta tive b od y. Furthermore, five year planning proposals by all deans, directors and vice-principals have been pre pared in order to assist in the for mulation of the final draft of the report.

Senate supports changes to appeal procedures By M elissa Radler O n Septem ber 27, M c G il l Senate voted unanimously to mod ify the appeals procedures in the Code of Student Conduct. A t the meeting, a draft of the proposed modifications was sub mitted by the Appeal Committee for Student D is c ip lin e and Grievance. The committee moved to unify Part I V of the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures and Article 6.0 of the R e vised Code of Student Grievance. Each section outlines the procedure a student must fol low in order to appeal a university ruling. Senate aims to reduce proce dural inconsistencies between the two codes. The Dean of Students, Rosalie Jukier, will chair the com mittee in charge of unifying the

codes. This committee will include student representatives. In the code’ s original form, a student questioning a grievance decision could present his or her argument verbally to the Appeal Committee. How ever, appeals to disciplinary rulings require a stu dent to submit an appeal through a disciplinary officer appointed by the university. “ Justice is being done, but with two different standards,” said Dr. R .E . Mackenzie, Chair of the Appeals Committee. Mackenzie stated that the two systems evolved in isolation from each other. Tw o different commit tees were designated for what was seen, at the time, as two different tasks. Th e result is two separate appeal policies. Senate also voted unanimous ly on the addition of oral represen

tation to the procedures outlined in A r t ic le 46a o f the C o d e o f Disciplinary Procedures. Oral rep resentation was originally written into A rtic le 6.0 of the Code of Student Grievance Procedures. A t Senate, M a c k e n zie de scribed instances of the codes’ inconsistencies. “ If we take, for example, a student [appeal] involving a grade, that student can appear before the entire committee and appeal in person the entire grounds of the case,” said Mackenzie. “ But if it involves a disciplinary decision, the student has to get an advisor. T h e student is not a llo w e d to appear.” C o n sid e rin g that a student cannot present his or her grounds for appeal, the Appeal Committee expressed concern that every case of this sort may be perceived as a

After incurring a substantial loss in the 1994-95 school year, Seaboard Life, underwriter of the M c G ill student health plan, has called for a new deal. A referen du m w ill be held on October 23-25 to deter m ine the f o r m at, content and cost o f a new plan. The current plan, slated to run throughout the 1 9 9 5 -9 6 school year, has not seen a rise in p re m iu m s since it was inaugurated in Ja n u a ry 1992. M c G i l l ’ s H e a lth In s u r ance B ro k e r R em ai: rew orking L e v B uk h m a n commented on the current health plan. “ [T h e p la n ] was in it ia lly designed as a conservative plan with the principles of affordability and s ta b ility in m in d ,” said Bukhman. “It is no longer sustain able at current levels” In the first three years, the plan was v a s tly u n d e r-u s e d , allowing the premiums to remain stable at $43.80 per student per year. During this period, Seaboard Life was able to realise substantial profits. A s a re su lt, new benefits were introduced last year in order to balance the premiums against the c la im s . P re s c rip tio n d ru g re im b u rs e m e n t cove rag e was raised from 80 percent to 90 per cent and the monthly cap on oral contraceptives was raised and then e lim in a te d e n tire ly .

health plan dents could produce their M c G ill I D and re c e ive th e ir benefits im m ediately, rather than file a claim and receive their reimburse ment at a later date. Subsequently, this initiated an exorbitant rise in the n u m ber of claims made by students. In the 1 9 94-95 school ye a r, c l a i m s increased by 300 percent, c a usin g Sea board to incur a loss of approxi mately $60,000. T h is year the com pany has a p ro jecte d loss of n e a rly $200,000. H o w e v e r , Seaboard has agreed to cover the cu rre n t the health p la n ye a r, in the hopes of striking a new agreement for the upcoming school year. The referendum w ill ask stu dents to make a choice between maintaining the current premiums at the cost of reduced benefits or increased premiums with a similar benefit plan. “ Students are going to have to choose their priorities,” stated V P Finance Kelly Remai. There w ill also be two other options that could either be incor porated directly into the new plan or offered as independent choices on the referendum ballot. Th e first is the Visioncare option w hich would provide coverage for new and old prescriptions for eyeglass es or contacts up to $100 every tw o years. T h is extra benefit would add $12 per year to what ever plan is adopted. The second option is a “revo lutionary” one according to Chris C a la ritis , the M c G i l l H e a lth

“This is a positive move,” said V P U n iv e rs ity A ffa irs Lis a Grushcow. “It reinforces the [stu dents’] right to be heard.” Another concern on Senate’ s agenda was the impractical nature of the appeals codes. Mackenzie stated that the lack of guidance has resulted in procedures that are often time consuming and articles

breach of justice. Th e committee moved that granting every student an opportunity to appeal a decision verbally w ill accord with M c G ill’s high standards of justice. It w ill also place the u n iv e rs ity in a stronger position to defend itself if a student chooses to appeal a uni versity decision through external channels.

SSMU Councillors propose total cut of D a ily funding By Benji W einstein Four members of the S S M U council want to bring the question of funding for the M cG ill Daily to a student referendum. Currently, all undergraduate students pay a proportion of their student fees to the Daily Publications Society. O n September 21, C lub Rep to C ouncil Jon Chom ski, Senate Board Rep Jeannette O ’Connell, M anagem ent Rep M aria n n e Zhakour and Arts Rep Anne de Fontenay sent a letter to council stating their intention to put forth a

motion at the October 2 council meeting. Th e motion calls for a referendum question which asks that S S M U be mandated to cease collecting all fees from undergrad uate students fo r the D a ily Publications Society. If the motion, as proposed by the four councillors is passed, S S M U w ould petition the Board of Governors annually until B o G agrees to stop collecting funds. Although the D aily has come under scrutiny before, the new m ovem ent is somewhat unique. Last year, council member R o lf

Strom -Olsen campaigned for the abolition of the D aily on account of “their emphasis on the ideologi cal c o m p a tib ility o f their staff members.” This year, however, the four council members who have put forth the motion are seeking to eradicate funding to the Daily. “This is in no way an attack on the D a i l y ,” said C h o m s k i. “There are two ways to look at this issue. Perhaps people are unhappy with having no input to the Daily, and since everything else is being cut back, maybe it’s time to recon firm the students’ commitment to

The Appeals Committee proposed revisions to make the codes more clear. “ It appears as though w e ’ re m aking up the rules as we p ro ceed,” M ackenzie said. “ A case can take hours and hours and hours. Justice comes first, and there’ s nothing wrong with effi ciency.” Senate voted to proceed on an ad hoc basis for several more m onths w h ile the A p p e als Committee continues to examine the issue. “ W e have a legal du ty to adhere to rules of natural justice and proper procedure,” said Dean

Ju k ie r. “ G iv e n m y legal b a ck ground, I hope to accomplish this — to grant as many rights as pos sible.” Jukier noted that in 1994, 43 of the 65 alleged violations of stu dent discipline were in the area of cheating and p la g ia ris m . Th e remaining cases were spread out between theft, disruption, physical abuse and harassment, w ith no other area of concentration. S S M U President Helena M ye rs is pleased w ith the p ro posed revisions to the discipline and grievance codes. “ A n y measure that is taken that is going to improve the rights of students on campus to be heard in a fair and impartial setting is advantageous,” Myers said.

Hacking out a virtual subculture by

Sam j. H orodezky

o lly w o o d is a nosy place. Producers do not like being kept out of anything, even things they do not understand. A n d one thing they certainly do not under stand is the mechanics of digital cul ture. Yet these are the very topics of a current big-screen adventure movie, Hackers.

-1995,

The plot is hardly prime mate ria l, but this is not to say that H a ck ers is w ithou t its m erits. Indeed, it brings up some very interesting points and presents a unique view point on the hacker subculture. D ire cte d by Ia in S o ftle y , H a ck ers is not breaking new ground. However, it provides com pelling evidence that film makers have a lot to learn; and also that they have already learned plenty. From the start, the audience is transported to the world of a quiet computer wizard, Dade M urphy. D ade, pla ye d b y n e w com er Johnny Lee Miller, has just moved to New York to start a new life. He falls in love with the alluring Kate L ib b y (A n g e lin a J o lie ). Predictably, she pretends not to be interested. In a corny but original subplot, Dade and Kate engage in a devilish computer duel to deter mine who comes out on top. Meanwhile, Dade catches up w ith a group of w eirdo phonefreaks and deranged technophiles. A c c id e n ta lly , one of the guys copies a file that he shouldn’t have copied, and before long he has been framed by an evil computer dude (played by Fisher Stevens) at Ellingson Mineral Corporation and is arrested by the FBI.

D efining A Culture Hackers are commonly por trayed as vile miscreants who are out to crack a system and snap it in two, but this view is a clear exag geration. So what is a hacker, exactly? The Internet now provides us

with the luxury of going right to the source. The source, in this case, is a hacker hang-out: the alt.2600 news group on the internet. There, the inconspicuous lurker can fol low an intense conversation enti tled The Movie, it’s a joke, right?. One contributor, who calls h im s e lf G e n gh is, thinks that Hollywood tries to pander to a cer tain image. “If you put a hacker in front of a system where they can gain a sig nificant amount of money (or even a little bit of money) and not get caught, they w ill jum p on it in a second,” he said. “ W hile we do like to explore and learn, these are not lim iting factors in our exis tence. W e are opportunists who w ill jum p at anything interesting that comes our way.” A n o th e r c o n trib u to r to the news group, Emmanuel Goldstein, was an informal consultant for the film. “ I was happy to see such a strong pro-hacker and anti-Secret Service message come out,” he wrote. Genghis, a hard-line poster, countered Goldstein’s view. “ W hat m ovie today doesn’t have an anti-hacker theme? They pretty much all have some kind of image of a hacker that makes us look like total geeks, extrem e introverts, and generally social out casts...I can’t believe you endorsed this film!” In general, the hackers’ opin ions converged substantially more towards Genghis’ evaluation than G oldstein’ s. Th e ju ry may have again returned a guilty verdict, but at least the movie industry shows signs of rehabilitation. Hackers is a better movie than the reputation of previous cyberrelated film s w o u ld lead us to expect. It sports a cheesy but ade quate plot, am using characters, decent visuals, and an eccentric, electric atm osphere. B u t more importantly for some, it possesses an increased validity with respect to the real world. Is this film , to quote one of Dade’ s friends, “the wake up call for the Nintendo gen eration” ? O n ly time w ill tell if H ackers is more prophesy than pretence.

KM FDM N ihil

(W a x Tra x / M C A ) O ne o f the pioneers of the o u tg ro w th o f te ch n o (t h a t ’ s in d u stria l for those of you who a re n ’ t h ip to the b e a t), K M F D M ’ s heart continues not so much to pulse as oscillate at 60 H z. Th e ir new album reflects the evolution o f music that prefers c o p p e r w ire to steel s trin g s . K M F D M are not a band of merry men: En Esch’ s lyrics reflect the sort of angst and se lf-p ity that would do Roger Waters proud. In other words, don’t go looking for a ballad amongst these tortured lyrics. German engineering is at its finest however, livin g up to the industrial name w ith plenty of synthesizer and distorted voic es. “Juke Joint Jezebel,” one of the best tracks on the album, is eminently listenable (and danceable because, after all, that is the point), m ixing unprocessed voic es with distortion.

M ore than just a new season for Redm en hockey By Sylvie Babarik For over a month, the M c G ill Redmen have been under the tute lage of a new head coach. From a group of some two dozen appli cants, Te rry Bangen was chosen as the 28th M c G ill hockey head coach. B a n g e n ’ s h is to ry w ith the game and experience in physical education made him a top con tender for the M cG ill position. As an assistant coach w ith the Kamloops Blazers, he shared in the glory of three Memorial Cup victories. Bangen also held the position of athletics director, and spent 11 years as the head hockey coach at the University College of the C a rib o o , K a m lo o p s . Additionally, he was named five times as the B ritis h C o lu m b ia College Athletics hockey coach of the year. M ost recently, Bangen has been named assistant coach to the Canadian Am a te u r H o ck ey Association and w ill aid the junior team in their quest for the 1995 world championships in Boston.

O n top o f his 21 years of aspirations as the Alberta players c o a ch in g e x p e rie n ce , B a n ge n w ith w h o m he has p re v io u s ly comes equipped with a masters of w orked. He acknowledges that p h y s ic a l e d uca tio n fro m Washington State University. Currently he is one of the few coaches in the country work ing towards the completion of the le ve l IV / V na tio n a l coaching certification. Bangen began his w ork ing career as a governm ent sport consultant, assisting the Alberta Hockey Association. Sotm after, he began to coach h o ck e y h im s e lf, and this quickly became his favoured profession. D espite B a n g e n ’ s suc cess out w est, he came to M c G i l l seeking change. Conscious o f the academic pressures to which university athletes are subject, he under stands that Redmen players have to d iv id e th e ir tim e between sports and studies. He also notes that university players do not have the same type of professional hockey The new f a c e behind the bench.

this w ill entail some adjustments in his coaching style, but he also sees gains in this change. “ It ’ s more of a team game in u n iv e rs ity -v e rs u s -th e star syndrom e, and individualistic game of the junior level,” said Bangen. He also admires the motives of most student athletes. “ A t this level, players are comfort able w ith th e ir game,” said Bangen. “ I call them purist athletes. T h e y are playing for the love of the game. A t the same time they are s e lf-m o tiv a te d to become better.” Bangen is also enjoying the change o f a new city. Th e m id-w esterner was taken by M on tre a l in his previous vis

its. “I had always found it to be a very exiting place, very different and cosmopolitan. But I haven’t really had a chance to enjoy the city yet,” he expressed. B angen cla im s that it was partially the need to simplify his schedule to solely coaching that led him to the M c G ill position. H o w e v e r, it appears that the reduction in his work load w ill be a while in coming — the M cG ill d o w n -tim e s c o in c id e w ith the national team prime-time. Training camp and exhibition games have given both the players and the new coach an opportunity get to know one another. In pre season action M c G ill lost to Les Patrotes from Trois-Rivières by a score of 7-2. Scoring for M c G ill were Tod d Marcellus and Martin Trudel. When the M c G ill hockey sea son officially opens on October 17, fans w ill f in a lly get m ore o p p o rtu n itie s to see the new c o a ch -te a m c o m b in a tio n in action.

By Kashif Z ahoor M c G ill 21 Ravens 21 On the road. D ow n by three. Dying seconds of the fourth quar ter. Th e ir ball. T w o words. Not good. The situation appeared bleak for the eighth-ranked Redmen late in the game against the unranked C a rle to n R avens. M c G il l , the clear favourites against the ten ants of the cellar of the O -Q IF C standings, found themselves trail ing 21-18 late in the fourth quar ter. T h e defence fo rced the Ravens into a punting situation with under a minute left. Raven punter Darren Morgan, who had earlier smashed a 82-yard punt, had hoped to pin M cG ill deep in their own territory. Instead, the snap bounced off his hands, and the Redmen special teams tackled him in Carleton’ s half of the field. C a rle to n ’ s head coach was left shaking his head after the miscue by his punter. “Unreal. Morgan was kicking the cover off the ball all game, then to drop a ball that was right in his hands... it was unreal,” he said. Maybe unreal to the Raven coach, but real for M c G ill. Th e offence quickly went to work, but failed to move the ball on its next two plays.

Barrett told the T ribune, that the season “started off really great for the team” . Barrett said that all his runners had personal bests and that he was pleased with the results. “ I thought they all did very well. Unfortunately not all our run ners came back this year, so we are kind of lacking as far as personnel goes” With their talent pool slightly depleted, the team still managed to put on an impressive show. Barrett is confident the team will continue to produce impressive results, win ning more medals and hopefully meets.
