T h e e x e c u t i v e b o a r d o f th e M c G ill V o lu n te e r B u r e a u , c o m ­ p osed o f fu ll-tim e students, has had difficu lty co-ordinating class sch ed ­ u le s and o f f ic e h o u rs in th e p ast.

Lorraine L aw , president o f adm inis­ tration , e x p la in e d that sc h e d u lin g d ifficu lties only added to the prob­ lem o f the referral sy stem ’s general d eclin e in usage.

“T h in g s w e r e r e a lly d iso r g a ­ nized last year.

“W e ’re a v o lu n te e r s e r v ic e , w h ic h m e a n s w e do all the fu n d ­ raising o u rselves,” she stated.

M issed o p p o rtu n ity W h ile th e b u r e a u ta k e s o n fund-raising alone this year, S S M U V P Finance D uncan R eid explain ed that as a student service, the M cG ill V o lu n t e e r B u r e a u is e n t i t le d to so m e support under S S M U regu la­ t i o n s . Y e t la s t y e a r ’ s f in a n c i a l records e x a m in ed by R e id sh o w ed that the previous V olun teer Bureau e x e c u tiv e s m isse d th e d e a d lin e to apply for funding.

“T he M cG ill V olunteer Bureau n e v e r a p p lie d fo r a d isc r e tio n a r y budget,” said R eid. “T h is year they do not r e c e iv e a net su b sid y from S S M U ... but they do have an opera­ tion al b u d get for their adm inistra­ tiv e c o sts that is d esign ed to break ev en .”

D e s p ite th e la ck o f a d is c r e ­ tio n a r y b u d g e t, R e id in fo r m a lly agreed to g iv e the service a com put­ er so that the volunteer referral ser­ v i c e c a n b e b e tter o r g a n iz e d and m ore e ffe c tiv e for students. “ S S M U is com m itted to m ak­ ing sure the V olu n teer Bureau has th e to o ls to c o n tin u e their p la n s,” said R eid. “T his com puter deal has

F in a n c ia l

b e e n ap p roved in p r in c ip le , but it has not been figured into the budget yet.”

E ven w ith the slo w d eclin e and tem p orary c o lla p s e o f th e referral service, S S M U V P Internal Sarvesh Srivastava fe e ls that a m ech anism to ensure accou ntability to students is u n called for in the c a se o f student services.

“It’s never really happened that a service did n’t fu lfil its m andate,” said Srivastava. “That u su ally hap­ p e n s to clu b s and in that situation S S M U can ask th e c lu b to su bm it docum entation o f their even ts with the p ow er to revoke their status.”

But R eid stated that the e sse n ­ tial d yn am ic o f clu b s and ser v ic es rem ains their leadership.

“B ud gets are determ ined by the action s o f the preceding year,” said R eid . “W h ether or not a c lu b w ill liv e up to its e x p e cta tio n s or e v e n fulfil its m andate at all depends on its co-ordinators.”

L aw has faith that sh e and her fe llo w M cG ill volun teer ex ecu tiv es w ill repair the referral system and is op tim istic about the u p com in g year.

‘T h e ex ecu tiv es are very com ­ petent this year,” she asserted. “W e w o r k w e l l t o g e th e r an d h o p e to in crease public aw aren ess on cam ­ pu s o f the se r v ic es w e p rovid e for students.”

Sim ultaneous raids to bust up a sm u gglin g ring were supposed to occur on the Kahnawake M ohaw k reserve alm ost tw o w eek s ago.

But they n ev er h ap p en ed . A p p aren tly, the R C M P and M ontreal Urban C om m unity p o lice called o f f the jo in t operation b ecause too many p eople in K ahnaw ake knew the raid w as com ing.

A s d etails o f the aborted m ission b ecam e public last w eek, a h ail o f c r itic ism w a s la u n c h e d a g a in st Q u eb ec P u b lic S ecu rity M inister Pierre B élan ger. Liberal critic R oger L efeb vre w as irate and asked, “w h o is the b oss o f public security’'' — the governm ent o r Joe N orton , K ah naw ake band c o u n c il c h ie f? In an in terv iew broadcast on Pulse News, Lefebvre bitterly com plained that “there are tw o sy stem s o f ju stic e —- on e fo r N a tiv e p eo p le and o n e for everybody e lse .”

Ironically, L efebvre w as reiterating what N a tiv e p eo p le have been asserting for d ecad es. O ne recent ex a m p le w as the trial and senten cin g o f O PP o ffic er K enneth D ean e in Sarnia this summ er.

D ean e w as found g u ilty o f crim in al n e g lig e n c e ca u sin g death in A pril after the 1993 sh o o tin g o f S to n e y P o in t p rotester D u d le y G e o r g e . A lth o u g h O n tario C ourt Ju d ge H ugh F raser ruled that D ean e shot and killed a man he knew w as unarmed and then fabri­ cated a story — lied in court — in order to hide h is guilt, the ju d g e’s July sentencing provoked anger and d isb e lie f in N ative com m unities across the country; for k illin g an Indian, D ean e w as sentenced to tw o years less a day. T o add insult to injury, the ju d g e ruled that D eane w as not to g o to prison but instead w ould serve his sentence through 180 hours o f com m unity service.

B ut despite L efebvre’s less-than profound observation that tw o system s o f justice ex ist, it’s unlikely that he or any other politician w ill ever take responsibility for ju stice denied. But it is not just an issue o f ju stice — history is to o lon g and the roots o f prejudice run too deep.

W hen I called a friend in Kahnawake and asked about the raid that n ev er h a p p en ed , “n o t o n th e p h o n e ” is all sh e w o u ld sa y .

A nother tim e, I w as leaving the reserve in a van after helping m ove som e furniture. It w as late and I stopped to fill up the tank —- the gas attendant indicated a dark car parked on the shoulder across the road and asked “is som eon e fo llo w in g you?” It w as understood that it cou ld be an unmarked p o lice car look in g to bust anyone taking “contraband” cigarettes or b o o ze o f f the territory.

Phone taps and p o lice surveillan ce are a part o f life foreign to m ost people w ho call them selves Canadian. M ost Canadians ca n ’t understand w hy Indians d on ’t pay taxes, vote in electio n s, b eliev e in la w s handed dow n by the governm ent — or ev en co n sid er them ­ se lv es Canadian.

W hy k eep b itch in g about treaty rights, land cla im s and se lfgovernm ent w hen there are m ore p ressin g con cern s lik e national u n ity , e c o n o m ic g r o w th an d C T V ’ s T h u r sd a y n ig h t lin e -u p ?

Perhaps m ore appropriate questions to ask are w h ose law s are bein g broken and w h o se borders are b ein g cr o sse d ? W h o se v a lu es are d eem ed important and w h o se language is used? W ho controls the purse-strings o f pow er?

W hen the answ ers are giv en , m aybe then w e can talk.

Stop the Press S hareholding in SSM U I w o u ld lik e to p r e fa c e m y r e m a r k s o n y o u r e d it o r ia l o f S ep tem b er 16, “ S S M U In c.,” by e x p r e s s in g m y th a n k s to J a so n S igurdson for a w ell-w ritten and th o u g h tfu l p ie c e . In m any w a y s it ’s n ic e to k n o w that there are others w h o co n sid er it im portant that w e , a s a s tu d e n ts ’ s o c ie t y , w eigh our fundam ental obligation to represen t stu d en ts a g a in st the p o te n tia l b e n e fit to S S M U , and therefore to students, o f corporate in v o lv e m e n t. That is very m uch the dilem m a that w e, esp ecially in the fin an cial p ortfolio, deal w ith on a day-to-day basis.

On a t h e o r e tic a l l e v e l, th e S SM U has alw ays had dual roles.

It is an instrum ent o f ch an ge, an exam ple o f how things should be, but it is a lso a co rp oration w ith 1 6 ,0 0 0 shareholders w h o d eserve and exp ect the absolute maximum v a lu e fo r th eir h ig h ly stretch ed dollars. U ltim ately, every business d ecision that I m ake as V P finance and operations should advance our w e ll-b e in g as stud en ts, or at the bare m inim um , protect our inter­ e s t s . U n le s s a c o r p o r a tio n ca n d irectly im prove the liv e s o f stu­ dents, it has no p lace on cam pus.

Q uite sim p ly , I am here to serve students, not corporations.

On a m ore c o n cr ete le v e l, I w ould lik e to d isp ell som e o f the m y th s p u t fo r w a r d in “ S S M U Inc.” Firstly, the editor insinuates that w e are co n sid er in g the o u t­ sourcing o f cop y-cen tre m anage­ m ent to K odak. I can state ca te­ gorically that this option has never been on the table, nor is there any s u c h p la n in th e w o r k s .

S e c o n d ly , th ere are n o n ew bids to buy G ert’s from us... and even if there were, they w ould be th row n out the d o o r b e fo r e y ou could say “another pitcher.” Gert’s is a stu d en t-o w n ed , stud en t-run , s tu d e n t-e m p lo y in g pub fo r stu ­ d e n ts — an d it w ill r e m a in as su c h . In fa c t, e ls e w h e r e in th e sam e issu e I ’m quoted as sayin g that G ert’s is m uch m ore im por­ tant to us as a social centre than as a “cash c o w .” For that very rea­ son, corporations aren’t interested in G e r t’s and the S S M U is n o t interested in them.

T h e S S M U is , b oth le g a lly and p h ilo so p h ica lly , a non-profit corporation (sic). It is, h ow ever, crucial to remember that for every dollar w e spend fighting for w or­ thy causes from sexual assault to differential tuition fees for out-of­ province students, w e m ust bring in the dollars to pay for that ser­ v ic e to the com m u n ity. T he real issu e is finding a balance betw een tackling those issues and having to raise the funding to pay for them.

S hapiro sees students as cash cows “A fter all, in ternational stu­ d e n ts h a v e b e c o m e an e x p o r t industry.”

T hese words, from the mouth o f Principal Shapiro this w eek in th e McGill Reporter, r e v ea l h is true colours. It w as in fact surpris­ ing that Shapiro w ould let such a b la ta n tly e x p lo ita tiv e sta tem en t slip, given that throughout the rest o f the in te r v ie w , h is n eo -lib er a l agenda is couched in language that attem pts to paint a s o c ia lly c o n ­ sc io u s p o sitio n . P hrases su ch as “not many p eople from disadvan­ taged back grou nd s c o m e to u n i­ v e r s it y an d t h a t ’s a s h a m e ” abound. Y et w ith this one phrase, “after a ll, in tern ation al stud en ts have becom e an export industry,” S hapiro sen d s us b ack to search the platitudes for the real agenda.

S h a p ir o is tr y in g to “c o p e w ith ...th e d racon ian x o lla p s e o f governm ent support for u n iversi­ tie s” and w hat better p lace to do this than as president o f one o f the m ost influential lobby groups for e d u c a t io n in Q u eb ec, le

Conférence des recteurs et des principaux des.universités du Québec (C R E P U Q ). Y e t rather than u sing this high p ow er p o si­ tion to take a ction again st th ese d r a c o n ia n m e a s u r e s , S h a p ir o w ould prefer to look elsew here for revenues.

In this in terview , he fo cu ses on students as a source o f revenue.

In tern a tio n a l stu d en ts are q u ite ev id e n tly h is favou red resou rce.

“W e ex p o rt our b rain s to these people an d w e im p o r t th e ir m oney” (em phasis m ine), says he.

T his statem ent m akes it sound as i f the only thing international stu­ d en ts b rin g to the in stitu tio n is their m oney. I’m sure there w ould be m ore than one student running labs at M cG ill, doing research for M c G ill, and tea c h in g at M c G ill that m ight want to take issue with this statement.

N e v e r th e le s s , d o m e stic stu ­ d en ts are a g o o d so u rce o f cash too. In Shapiro’s opinion, all that is n e e d e d to e n a b le stu d en ts to fin a n ce the u n iv e rsity sy stem is better student assistance programs.

T he basic prem ise here is that edu­ cation is a private go o d w ith pri­ vate b en efits to be fin a n ced pri­ v a tely rather than a p u b lic good w ith enorm ous public ben efits to be financed publicly. N ot surpris­ in gly, the private financing option th a t S h a p ir o p r e f e r s is in th e In co m e C o n t in g e n t L oan R epaym ent Plan, a plan that has, historically, alw ays been linked to drastically increased tuition fees.

It is clear that Shapiro w ill still be lo b b y in g f o r d e r e g u la te d ( i .e . m uch higher) tuition fees.

T h e q u e stio n rem ains: w hat c a n s t u d e n ts d o to c o u n te r Shapiro’s efforts to m ove M cG ill as far as p o s s ib le fro m p u b lic fun din g?

Diet drug banned after research links it to heart disease W h en so m e th in g se e m s to be lo o good to be true, it usually is.

T h is se e m s to be the c a se for fen-phen, the diet m edication pulled o ff the sh elves early last w eek due to evid en ce that it causes valvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.

M ore than 20 years ago, fenflu­ r a m in e ( a ls o k n o w n as P o n d é r a l Pondim in), dexfenflurim ine (Redux) and phenterm ine w ere approved by the F ood and D rug A d m in istration for the short-term use in the m anage­ m ent o f o b e sity . T he drugs fe n flu ­ ramine and dexfenfluram ine work in the body to affect the availability o f seroton in in the brain, su pp ressin g the patient’s appetite. Phentermine is c o n s id e r e d to b e m o r e o f an am phetim ine-like drug but m ay also affect serotonin levels in the brain.

O ver the last fe w years, m any doctors have been prescribing fenflu­

ramine and dexfenfluram ine in com ­ bination with phentermine. The pop­ ular com bination has earned itse lf the streetn am e fe n -p h en . T h e se drugs w ere adm inistered for len gthy peri­ ods o f tim e to people w ho w ere not c o n s id e r e d c l i n i c a l l y o b e s e , but wanted only to lose 10 to 20 pounds.

In the case o f fen-phen and dexfenphen, no stu d ies w ere presented to d e m o n s tr a te th e e f f e c t iv e n e s s or safety o f the drugs taken in com bina­ tion over any length o f time.

In July, it w as reported to p h ysi­ cians that a rise in valvular heart dis­ ease w as found in w om en treated for o b e sity w ith the drug com b in ation fe n -p h e n . T h e a g e n c y r e c e iv e d reports o f 33 cases o f unusual abnor­ m alities in mitral, aortic, and tricus­ pid v a lv e s in w o m e n b e tw e e n the ages o f 30 and 72 w ho took the drugs for up to 28 m onths. A t that tim e, the F D A encouraged all health care pro­ fessionals to report any cases o f car­ diac v a lv e d ise a se or other seriou s abnorm alities in their patients receiv­ in g th e d r u g s to th e M e d W a tc h Program or the resp ectiv e pharm a­ ceutical com nanv.

A s o f A u g u s t 2 2 , th e F D A received 82 cases o f heart valve dis­ ease in patients using the drug com ­ bination. Severity o f the heart valve disease in patients ranged from heart m u r m u r s to th e n e e d fo r v a lv e rep la cem en t surgery. P atien ts a lso e x p e r ie n e d s h o r tn e s s o f b r e a th , e x c e s s i v e t ir e d n e s s , c h e s t p a in , sw ellin g o f the legs and fainting.

Early last w eek, the F D A acted on new evid en ce associated with fen ­ fluram ine and d exfenfluram in e and a sk ed m an u factu res to v o lu n ta rily w ith d ra w b o th p r o d u cts fro m the m arket. P hen term in e, w h ic h is the third m ost w id e ly u sed m edication for obesity, w as not included in this decision.

T h e F D A d e e m e d th is a ctio n n e c e s s a r y b a sed o n n e w fin d in g s from doctors w ho evaluated patients taking these drugs w ith ech ocardio­ gram s, w h ich m onitor the fun ction­ in g of th e heart v a lv e s .

T h e F D A r e c o m m e n d s th a t p atien ts sto p tak in g the drugs and contact their physicians im m ediately.

T h ere w a s a ls o sig n ific a n t cause for concern because the drugs are i l l e g a l l y a v a ila b le o v e r th e Internet.

Dr. D a v id L angleben, c h ie f o f th e c a r d io lo g y d i v i s i o n at th e M ontreal J ew ish G eneral H osp ital, currently has fiv e patients under his c a r e w h o w e r e ta k in g th e d r u g s dexfenfluram ine or fenfluramine. H is p a tie n ts ’ e x p e r ie n c e s r a n g e from m ild sym ptom s such as shortness o f breath, to one patient w ho w ill need valve replacem ent surgery.

Even though treatment for these patien ts is e x p e n siv e and w ill co st h e a lth c a r e th o u sa n d s o f d o lla r s , Langleben does not feel any group, individual or agency acted irrespon­ sibly. N evertheless, he noted that he is “happy that the population w ill no lo n g e r be e x p o se d to the risks o f these m edications.”

M any health care professionals are pleased with the F D A ’s decision

to w ith d raw th e se d ru gs from the market. Elizabeth M cM ahon, nursing c o - o r d in a t o r at M c G ill S tu d e n H ealth S e r v ic e s, w as very p leaset w ith the d e c is io n by the F D A and stated she w as “glad that they acted so quickly.”

Dr. L an gleb en a lso fe lt that it w a s the r esp o n sib le thing to do in this case and com m ented that “given the findings, it w as the only option.”

W hile m ost are generally satis­ fied w ith the ban, so m e p e o p le are placing blam e on health care profes­ sionals. M any suggest that m edia and d ie ter s p la c ed se r io u s p ressu re on doctors to prescribe the m edication.

Merry] Bear, Program Co-ordin a to r at th e N a tio n a l E a tin g Inform ation Centre, b e lie v e s this is the often the case but stated it should be “an ethical decision by the doctor to m ake sure the drugs are used prop­ erly.” She also noted that “drugs put onto the market have to be carefully m onitored so that they are used for the purpose for w hich they have been approved.

“T here is n o m agic solution to alm ost anything in life,” said Bear.

M cM ah on agreed that so c iety n e e d s to c h a n g e its a ttitu d e s and affirm healthy bodies.

“W e need to encourage people to b e m ore a ccep ta b le o f d ifferen t shapes and sizes. Sadly, som e people believe answers to their problem s are tied to being thinner,” she said.

A typewritten manuscript lies in front of her. “Is it any good? Will it ever come to b e? ” After moments of agonizing tension, she lovingly picks up the thick stack of paper, walks to her closet, and banishes her work to its dark recesses. “I guess I ’ll never know... ” Close curtain.

W o m e n ’s sport is plagued with issues that are m anifes­ tation s o f o n e s in so c ie ty at large, especially regarding how w om en see their bod ies and what w om en do to their bod ies to be the best.
