Dean finances fitness centre

By W

es

N o u o t r y _______________

Dean of Students Rosalie Jukier surprised the Board of Athletics last Monday by donating $5,000 to cover the first month’s operational costs of the new fitness centre while a sub-committee of the Board is still scrambling to find funding options for the centre’ s operational costs without imposing student fees.

Student athletics representa­ tives previously asked SSMU to endorse a fitness centre user fee proposal in its council meeting on September 25. But instead, council mandated SSMU President Tara Newell to oppose any proposal requiring student user-fees for the athletics facility. Newell represented SSMU to the Board of Athletics and proposed delaying any discussion of the fitness centre financing in order for the sub-committee to explore its options further. The fea­ sibility of encouraging corporate sponsorship and advertising in the fitness centre will be explored.

“I felt the best compromise was to allow the sub-committee to find an option along its mandate,” said Newell. “Its mandate was to find a way to fund the centre’s operational costs without imposing user-fees — I wanted to postpone any discussions until the committee could dis­ cuss legitimate options.”

Newell’s mandate from SSMU council received a hostile reaction from the Board of Athletics, and the document she distributed during the meeting voicing SSMU’s position on the user-fee proposals was labelled inflammatory by Board Chair Dick Pound. “[The board] made the issue personal,” said Newell. “I was told in that meeting that I was ‘out to lunch.’”

Derek Prohar, student repre­ sentative on the Board of Athletics, stated that the Board’s main objec­ tive is just to get the fitness centre open.

SSMU council falters on support of Plan G: day of action endorsed by other student groups B y La u r a M a c N eil

SSMU council has postponed its decision to endorse the broadbased protest movement, Plan G. The demonstration and non-vio­ j lent blockade is planned for Novem ber 3 in Q uebec C ity, ; which will leave SSMU little time to mobilize student support, even if it does decide to endorse Plan G. SSM U VP External Lisa j Phipps relayed council’s reserva­ tions about supporting Plan G’s general mandate against global­ ism, neo-liberalism and poverty.

“Plan G ’s demands are not specific enough,” said Phipps.

“As a student association , I wouldn’t feel comfortable com­ plaining without specific educa­ tional demands. We’d just end up as thousands o f w hining stu­ dents.”

Phipps feels she speaks for the pervasive sentiment of coun­ c il, but SSM U President Tara Newell articulated her personal

B e p a rt of th e. a c t io n

support for Plan G’s efforts.

“I support Plan G ,” said Newell before the O ctober 9 council meeting. “I will let coun­ cil debate the motion whether or not to endorse it, but I personally support the motion.”

Plan G derives its name from the name of the government build­ ing that will be blockaded —Complex G at the provincial legis­ lature. Organized by a coalition of four independent groups including L e M ouvem ent p o u r le d ro it à l ’éducation, the two-part demon­ stration and blockade will contin­ ue in the same spirit as last fall’s student strikes protesting the inac­ cessibility of education. MDE protested against ongoing educa­ tion cuts by occupying the offices of Immigration Minister André Boisclair’s last week.

The broad themes of Plan G will enable smaller affinity groups to create a list of their own specif­ ic demands they want promulgat­ ed at the November 3 demonstra­ tion. Erin Runions, Quebec chair­

person of the Canadian Federation of Students, stated that SSMU should be more involved in creat­ ing educational demands.

“It’s too bad that SSMU post­ poned their decision because now it won’t be as involved in setting its demands,” said Runions. “Plan G is a coalition effort. As far as I can see, this action is incredibly well organized and really well thought out. Within each of the umbrella demands are other affin­ ity groups, each with their specific demands. If there are more educa­ tional affinity groups present then there will be more educational demands made.”

M cG ill’ s Post-Graduate Students’ Society council endorsed Plan G in early September and is actively orga­ nizing its members to participate in the Plan G action. PG SS President Matthew Bergbusch explained that student activism has to go beyond campus limits.

“Although Plan G is broadbased, students are members of a

Students to vote on new day-care facility in fall referendum B y La u r a M a c N eil

McGill students will be asked to endorse and help fund a parttime day-care facility for student parents in SSMU’s upcoming fall referendum.

SSMU council unanimously passed the referendum question in its council meeting on October 9 based on recommendations from the Education Equity sub-commit­ tee to Senate.

The referendum question, introduced by SSMU President Tara Newell, asks students whether or not they are willing to contribute $3 per semester for a flexible, stu­ dent-oriented, part-time day-care facility — a project that has been in the works for over 15 years.

Newell was pleased with the sup­ port of council because the estab­ lishment of a day-care for student parents was part of her platform during the SSMU presidential cam­ paign.

“I was very happy with the way council went,” said Newell.

“Council was supportive because they’ ve been informed of the

developments of the day-care pro­ gram since the day I was elected.”

The flexible part-time day­ care is designed to suit the schedul­ ing needs of student parents. In contrast to the current McGill day­ care that requires children to stay in the centre five days a week for the entire work day, the new facility would look after children in twohour blocks. Newell used the bud­ gets of similar day-care programs at other universities and made approximations for the govern­ ment’s future day-care subsidies when she formulated a precise monetary figure to ask of students.

“The Quebec government has been decreasing its day-care subsi­ dies over the past few years, so I really am estimating the opera­ tional costs of the day-care. Until it opens two years from now, I won’t know how much is subsidized by the government. I can only guess,” admitted Newell.

The Education Equity Committee recently concluded a formal study determining McGill’s student need for such a flexible day-care system and strongly rec­

ommended the creation of this part- interested in the possibility of in­ time facility to Senate, M cGill’s sourcing the management of the day-care,” said highest administrative body. In part-time Leighwood.

“But this all remains a order to help Newell gain SSMU council’s approval for the day-care possibility because we haven’t referendum question before the fall signed a contract or anything.”

Director of the McGill day­ referendum deadline, Sub-committee Chair Professor Richard Janda care Elaine Reiner echoed revealed the study’s preliminary Leighwood’s caution due to the results to Newell although official lack of any formal agreement publication of the study awaits between the two day-care groups.

“We didn’t sign any letter of complete review.

“With the preliminary results intent,” stated Reiner. “We’ve spo­ of the Education Equity commit­ ken in general terms with Tara tee’s study of incoming student’s Newell and probably we will co­ needs, I have specific proof of the operate with her. But we need a significant student need for a part- base for any discussion and I can’t time, flexible day-care at McGill,” comment until we have that letter.”

It would be like me speaking for the whole of SSMU agement responsibilities.

“The current day-care is very without a mandate from council.”

PGSS and Concordia join coalition for Plan G Continued from page 1 as c itiz e n s,” said Bergbusch.

“Instead of just thinking of them­ selves as separate from the rest of society, concerned only with what affects the university, students should take more of an interest in this because the things that hap­ pen here have a direct impact on them now, when they eventually leave university.”

A f t e r m u c h debate, the C oncordia Student Union endorsed Plan G at its October 8 council meeting. CSU President Rebecca Aldworth explained that council decided to support the action even though it did not agree with every demand put for­ ward by the coalition.

“The CSU in the past has stood aside and refused to take a position until pressured by its stu­ dents, so it’s nice to see CSU take a stance and play a leadership role in endorsing this political action,” said Aldworth. “We will be informing our student population about Plan G, advertising in our local papers, and subsidizing buses to take students to Quebec City.”

The remaining training sessions last four hours and will be held throughout the weeks preceding November 3. Borden described the short term goals he wants to see achieved through this large

If the current day-care did agree to put the flexible day-care under its provincial license, most of the bureaucratic hassles for the new day-care could be avoided.

“If the letter o f intent is signed,” said Leighwood, “all the red tape problems of our day-care would be gone. It [would be] a real relief.”

The SSM U Constitution allows for the creation of Yes and No Campaign Committees for all referenda and allots funds for both committees to campaign for or against a particular question.

Leighwood now sits as chair person of the day-care’ s Yes Committee, but hasn’t had the opportunity to finalize her cam paign structure.

“Our campaign is as yet unde­ termined, but I do believe the No Committee has been formed — we will plan our strategy this week end,” stated Leighwood. “This day care is a reality.”

“There is no response to this Plan G,” said Miville-Deschenes, “because we are not informed about it.”

Runions did warn interna­ tional students not to participate in the non-violent blockade of Complexe G because anyone arrested with a student visa can be easily deported.

“If it comes to the point of arrest, we are telling internation­ al students not to participate — we aren’t asking students to get deported,” said Runions. “But international students are free to demonstrate and run errands between affinity groups.”

Although S S MU VP External Phipps supported some of Plan G ’s goals, she argued that the planned blockade is not the best way to achieve these objectives.

“The means to achieve the ends is where SSM U differs from Plan G,” concluded Phipps.

for others, it’s to sit at the table with government. That’s their ends.

Their definition of success is to sit at the table — ours is to fight for accessibility. W e’re still at the table, but it so happens that...governm ents respond to more pressures than just sitting at the table.”

Although C A S A ’s current response to the CFS report has been limited to a press release, Harrison is confident that the upcoming CASA conference in Halifax will provide a forum to create a more comprehensive poli­ cy position.

Despite the criticism from CASA, Lavigne is certain that the goals outlined in the Strategy fo r Change document can be taken seriously by the public and govern­ ment officials.

SSMU legal action proceeds without student mobilization

By Renée D unk and Jason S igurdson A preliminary court date will be held this week for SSMU’s case against the Quebec government’s differential tuition fee policy.

Although S S MU has set a precedent by taking the provincial government to court over the fees, there has been very little public action or education regarding the proceedings. Ironically, students at other Canadian universities have demonstrated more opposition to the Quebec’s differential fees than the entire M cG ill student body itself.

The initial court date is set for this Friday, October 17. There are three main components to the argument that SSMU will present.

The first states that the decision to implement differential tuition-fees lies outside of the education minis­ ter’s power. The second argues that differential tuition fees violate the Quebec Charter of Rights, the personal rights mandate. The third contends that differential tuition fees are discriminatory and that they impede inter-provincial mobility in Canada.

Paul Ruel, a U2 political sci­ ence student and SSM U’s repre­ sentative in the case, explained that differential tuition fees are funda­ mentally unjustified.

“This is an arbitrary decision made by Education M inister Pauline Marois,” said Ruel. “It was made in an unreasonable fashion without community or Canadian considerations.”

M cGill University has also been named in the lawsuit. The Students’ Society will be asking that M cGill be prohibited from collectin g differential fees in December and also be ordered to compensate affected students for the amounts that have already been collected for the fall semester.

Role of students While careful and thorough preparation of this case is essential, it cannot take place in a vacuum of student participation. Ruel admits that there has been little action taken regarding publicity or stu­ dent m obilization within the McGill community. At this point, SSMU appears unprepared to sug­ gest substantive ideas on how stu­ dents can get involved.

“We are working on a plan of action,” he stated. “We wanted to time any mobilization with the court date. When students come and ask what they can do, we tell them to talk to their federal MP and let people know that their

Continued from page 1 “No one wants to charge stu­ dents a user-fee but this is a last resort,” said Prohar.

Last spring McGill undergrad­ uates agreed in a campus wide ref­ erendum to pay $10 per semester to fund the completion of Phase Three of the Athletics Facilities, which includes the fitness centre. The stu­ dent fee covered the construction costs of the fitness centre, but not its operational costs. Newell acknowl­ edged that the Athletics Board did not write the wording of last spring’s referendum, but felt there

Prairie support Students at the University of Saskatchewan sent a petition with over 10,000 signatures in support of McGill students. Both Newell and Ruel expressed their pleasure with the public response to the court case but when asked about M cG ill student response, the answer was “not much.”

Perhaps it is time to petition W estm ou nt-V ille-M arie MP Lucienne Robillard, asking her to make a member’s statement in the House of Commons regarding her constituents’ concerns on the issue of differential tuition, and also ask that she bring the same concerns to the Liberal caucus for immediate attention.

was a lack of transparency through the whole athletics budget process.

“The Co-ordinating Committee of Student Services, CCSS, which is normally consulted on all student services budgetary matters., under which athletics falls, was not informed or consulted of the Athletics Board’s proposal for user fees,” said Newell. “No students were consulted on the possibilities of user fees or another means of funding for the new fitness centre.

I’m not necessarily opposed to user fees in principle, but the issue here is the honesty of the referendum question.”

tuition fees are just a small part of the whole — the real issues here are post-secondary accessibility and mobility.”

Legal and political issues may be separate in theory, but they need to be recognized as compli­ mentary in practice. Students need to be mobilized before the case goes to court. Students will also have to be on the steps of the court house in large numbers when the case is finally heard. If SSMU needs to follow someone else’s lead for pre-case mobilization, the very least they could do is to turn to Saskatchewan.

to have a link to Robillard’s e-mail address on Parliament Hill — robill@parl.gc.ca — so that stu­ dents could send comments direct­ ly to their MP. Unfortunately, WSmoo is somewhat less than func­ tional. Even if technology is left aside, SSMU could have launched a postcard campaign by now — making available standardized, pre-addressed postcards to be signed and mailed by students to federal and provincial politicians.

Newell has correctly identi­ fied the lack of publicity on the case as a chief reason for the mini­ mal response from the student body on the subject of differential fees, indirectly acknowledging that SSMU should take some responsi­ bility for educating students on the issue.

“Students have only been on campus for a month — some stu­ dents may not know the history of Marois’ decision... I guess these are just explanations and excuses for internal bureaucratic reasons,” said Newell. “It’s just such a big case, there are so many elements.”

One should hope that the sheer magnitude of the project, however, does not prevent the Students’ Society from taking steps to mobilize students, espe­ cially those directly affected by Quebec’s introduction of differen­ tial tuition fees.

rights are being infringed upon.”

What seems to be most unsat­ isfying about this approach is the passivity attached to it. It ignores the fact that the Students’ Society has a responsibility to both educate students and facilitate their involvement — before and during the court case. Tara Newell, S S MU president, attempted to frame the non-action as a result of the court case’s complexity and a lack of human resources.

“We presented the case to stu­ dents, faculties and administration; everyone wanted more informa­ tion. Because it is such a big case and there are so many elements, it’s hard to attack,” Newell said.

“It is hard to get students motivat­ ed. We just haven’t had the man­ power to send adequate informa­ tion to students.”

SSMU will know the date of the actual legal proceedings on Friday. Student leaders are confi­ dent that they will have ample time to motivate student reaction once they have a set court date.

“It’s all about timing,” stated Newell. “We have divided our plan of action into three categories, small to big, McGill students to the federal government,” concluded Newell. “We just wanted to keep the legal and political issues sepa­ rate. You don’t need students to be hyped up for a legal case but you do need them for lobbying the fed­ eral government. D ifferential

Dean of Students Rosalie Jukier announced during the board meeting that she would fund the operational costs for the fitness cen­ tre. Armed with the approval of Principal Shapiro, Jukier procured the needed $5,000 from the univer­ sity budget to allow the fitness cen­ tre to open and operate for a month.

“I was sympathetic to both sides of the issue,” she said. “The Fitness Centre is ready and I didn’t want to penalize students by having a brand new facility that they could be using sit closed,” said Jukier.

“On the other hand, I didn’t want the fitness centre to be a divisive issue for the Board of Athletics. So I provided funding to allow time for the financial sub-committee to explore all funding avenues so a consensus could be reached by the Athletics Board.”

Prohar was pleased that the Dean of Students stepped in, enabling the fitness centre to open.

“Rosalie Jukier stepped in out of the blue with a temporary solu­ tion, which I was pleased with. It will give us more time to explore other ways to fund the centre, but I wouldn’t be surprised if no other option is found.”

The Board of Athletics will meet next month to discuss the sub­ committee’s second round of pro­ posals.

The fitness centre is set to open Tuesday, O ctober 14. F itn ess Centre hours until November 11 are the following: Monday—Friday 7— 9:30 am. 11:30-1:30 pm, 4-7:30 pm ; Saturday—Sunday 12:30— 5:15 pm.

AUS Finance by-election campaign continues unnoticed B y J e n n if e r C h e n ____________________

By-elections for the position of Arts Undergraduate Society VP Finance are unlikely to attract much attention partly because the two candidates vying for the posi­ tion have begun their campaigns only days before students go to the polls.

The by-elections were called after former VP Finance Adam Giambrone left McGill to partici­ pate in a three-month archaeology expedition in Sudan. Arts students will be asked to vote on a replace­ ment October 15 and 16.

As VP finance, the successful candidate will be responsible for creating and maintaining the AUS budget, keeping records, giving reports of accounts and statements, presiding over the Financial Management Committee, advising the AUS on financial manners and overseeing the operations of the AUS-owned store Snax.

At the all-candidates meeting on October 8 held at The Alley, three candidates answered ques­ tions and articulated their finance platforms, albeit for a small audi­ ence. AUS President Karim Bardeesy admitted not much effort was made to advertise the question and answer period.

“There was not much publici­ ty for the debate,” said Bardeesy.

“It was organized pretty lastminute, but some signs were post­ ed out in the usual places — Leacock and the Arts building.

[But] the organization of the byelection is going fine.”

The third candidate, current AUS bookkeeper Robert Camara, dropped out of the campaign after the all-candi­ dates debate, but gave no explanation for his decision.

Meanwhile, the two candidates still in the running for VP finance have kept their election campaign extremely low-pro­ file within the student body.

AUS institutions such as Snax.

“Snax could be used to give financial aid to Arts students

VP finance candidates Ro Ferro-Rojan, a third year political science student, is frustrated with the quality of present resources for Arts "stu­ dents and hopes to use the VP finance position to improve them.

“What drags us down is the declining quality of our libraries. I’d like to spend the money in the Arts Improvement Fund on improv­ ing library resources,” said Ferro-Rojan. “I’ve noticed that as a poli sci major, I ’d see something in the social studies index, but then I wouldn’t be able to find it in the library.

AUS has the chance to have a C a n d id a te R eg in a S k erja n e c direct role in improving the p a rtic ip a te s in d eb a te quality of this school.”

Ferro-R ojan also aims to through job placements, by setting explore the possibilities to increase up a process so that students who student financial aid for Arts stu­ need [financial assistance] get the dents through already established jobs,” Ferro-Rojan said. “Maybe the profits of Snax can be put to

something productive, such as a book bursary for students — there are a lot of possibilities for finan­ cial aid.”

U3 Canadian studies and English major Regina Skerjanec cites her experience on the Arts Improvement Committee and her knowledge o f AUS workings as her best qualifications for the job.

“I have a lot of experience with the AUS bureaucracy,” said Skerjanec. “I am already accustomed to AU S, so won’ t need much of a tran­ sitional period — I am familiar with how to work in commit­ tees.”

Skerjanec’ s VP finance platform rests on goal to use the Arts Improvement Fund for realizing student-initiated pro­ jects and clarifying financial transactions Ros Price between Arts depart­ ments, the AUS coun­ cil and its bookkeep­ er.

“Last year there were a lot of questions concerning departmental budgets so I want to be a gobetween between the bookkeeper

and all the departments of Arts to make sure everything runs smoothly,” she said. “I ’d like to make students more aware of the AIF and help them use it for pro­ jects they want accomplished. We should spend more money on resources for the library and I also want to push for more spending by SSMU. I want to fine-tune this organization through the VP finance.”

P ollin g b o o th s f o r the VP fin an ce by-election will be in the R edpath library, L ea co c k , Arts Building, BMH cafeteria, Stewart B io lo g y , an d S h atn er a ll day October 15 and 16.

Correction: In the "Extreme student group" article of October 7, the following quote was omitted: "I fully support le Mouvement pour le droit à l'éducation — I really think that action is the only way, as we've seen in the past, to get the government to respond to student demands."

$35,000 of nodding heads B y )a s o n S ig u r d s o n ____________________________________________________________

SSMU council’s decision to table a motion to support the Plan G protest in Quebec City is the latest symptom of a general spirit of inac­ tion and complacency that has permeated much of the Students' Society.

The clear lack of leadership from the VP external and the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations on this issue and others moves one to ask if the combined $35,000 in stipends and membership dues is nothing more that an abject waste of money.

Plan G, the peaceful blockade of the G building scheduled for November 3, is designed to focus attention on recent spending cutbacks by the Quebec government. It promises to bring together student groups, women’s groups, unions and anti-poverty organizations under one loose umbrella. VP External Lisa Phipps, as the one SSMU executive directly responsible for external actions and events, should have been knowl­ edgeable enough to have SSMU council members well informed on Plan G before it came up for debate in council on Thursday. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and the effects were woefully apparent.

Take for example the conversation between a SSMU councillor and a SSMU exec overheard after last Thursday’s meeting. The exec referred to Plan G as “a real joke” at one point — a comment which begs the question: what exactly about Plan G is conceived of as a joke? Is sub­ stantive equality between men and women a joke? Are decent wages for workers a joke? Is accessible, high-quality education a joke?

Perhaps some of concerns stem from the fact that the issues covered

by Plan G do not pertain to education alone. It should come as no sur­ prise, however, that the demonstration’s scope reaches beyond SSMU’s mandate. The very nature of a coalition is to bring together the specific causes of individual groups under one larger banner. If this is explicitly acknowledged, the concerns of some councillors become unfounded.

SSMU can participate in Plan G’s social justice mandate while accentu­ ating its own particular focus.

Another point of concern was the perceived potential conflict between the positions of CASA and the Canadian Federation of Students — the CFS is already a full partner in Plan G, whereas CASA is typical­ ly reluctant to protest. If CASA membership acts as a noose which limits your ability to take needed action, what is the purpose of membership?

Admittedly, Phipps seems cognisant of the need to work for common goals despite the existence of two separate student organisations, but when her office and the SSMU executive as a whole do not put a priority on mobilizing students, her words are empty and irrelevant at best.

Mobilization needs vision, however. A friend shared an antidote which pondered what would take place at a hypothetical CASA protest.

Their chant?

What are we fighting for?

Slightly lower tuition.

When do we want it?

In due course.

CASA appears reluctant to uphold equality and accessibility as pri­ orities worth fighting for at any cost — especially if it means standing up against the status quo argument that “we can’t afford equality yet.” You see it manifestly when they issue a press release dismissing a 79-page report prepared by the CFS because, on one page, it calls for the eventual elimination of tuition. CASA, as our national student organization, may be there at the table lobbying government on our behalf, but when the government says “cuts," CASA whispers “not too deep, please” — they nod their heads as governments off-load their deficits onto students.

Through membership fees, we purchase $20.000 of head nodding.

It is time for Phipps and the entire SSMU executive to stand up for students, regardless of CASA's position. Plan G presents an ideal oppor­ tunity to join an important action. Of course, it is unrealistic to expect that a single protest will directly lead to the realization of social justice goals, but Plan G has the potential to be a means of public education and public participation. The last thing we need from our student leaders is more head nodding to the status quo.

The problems with student politics Although I am not normally one to express myself in a public forum, a recent development at the university has created a situation so outrageous that I am unable to main­ tain my silence.

The controversy of which I speak concerns the new fitness cen­ tre which was recently built. As some of you may remember, a refer­ endum was held last year through which it was decided that student fees would include a $30 increase.

Two thirds of this was to go towards student services, with the remaining funds being devoted to the mysteri­ ous “Phase III” program of the ath­ letics department. Though I am usu­ ally opposed to the notion of fee increases, I irresolutely supported this particular initiative with the hope that the proposed athletic facil­ ity would prove to be worthy of my financial contributions. Having caught a glimpse of the wonder that is Phase III a few days ago, I thought that my prayers had been answered.

Recent news, however, has dashed these hopes and left me with an inescapable sense of despondency.

For it turns out that this year’s budget did not include the new facil­ ity, given that it was drawn up last

to the Editor Pay for first rate services There has been a lot of debate lately surrounding the opening of the new fitness centre in the Currie Gymnasium. Students are complain­ ing that misinformation from the Athletics Department and about the possibility of having to pay an addi­ tional fee to use the new facility. It’s getting to be all too common at this university that students expect first rate resources but aren’t willing to pay for them.

The Athletics Department is asking for a user fee of $ 13 a semes­ ter to use the fitness centre. That’s only $26 a year. That’s really not that much, especially when com­ pared to rates at private facilities of the same quality. Not only is the fee low, it’s also optional. Students who don’t want to pay it wouldn’t have to. The existing weight room would still be available free of charge. I work as a supervisor in the old weight room and I know that the equipment in that room is more than adequate. It may be a little old, but it’s still good. Most importantly, it’s still free (a fact reflected in my salary).

If the Athletics Department is not allowed to charge students for

using the fitness centre, they may be forced to close the facility due to lack of funding. A considerable amount of time, money, and effort — as well as a state-of-the-art facili­ ty — could go to waste. That would mean that even those students who were willing to pay an additional fee could not use the new facility.

The new fitness centre is reput­ ed to be one of the best facilities of its kind and if we want it, we should be willing to pay for it.

Province’s extreme measures I must admit that I was quite disappointed in the way the Mouvement pour le droit à l ’éduca­ tion (MDE) was portrayed in the article “Extremist student group occupies government office” {Tribune, 7 October 1997).

Those who have worked in the student movement over the last few years know that the Mouvement pour le droit à l ’éducation is one of the student organizations that has done the most for Quebec students in the last years. The MDE was formed around the time of the pan-

Canadian day of action on January 25, 1995. At that time, the MDE (at the time called Coalition X) and the Canadian Federation of Students organized one of the largest student demonstrations Montreal has ever seen (and certainly one of the largest actions in Canada) protesting former Minister of Human Resources Development Lloyd Ax worthy’ s Income Contingent Loan Repayment Plan. That protest was successful.

Since that time, the MDE has organized with the CFS in Quebec on a number of occasions, including February 7 and October 24, 1996.

More importantly, they led the stu­ dent strike and occupation move­ ment last year that resulted in a con­ tinued tuition freeze for Quebec stu­ dents.

It is more unfortunate that the word “extremist” is rarely applied to dominant groups, like, for instance, the provincial government who has cut $1.2 billion from education in two years, introduced differential fees for out-of-province students and is pursuing a 3 year deficit reduction plan at the expense of social pro­ grams. Perhaps the headline would have better read: “Student group protests extremist government’s attack on education in Quebec.”

atmosphere (finally!). But what are the costs? If we examine this $15 rumour further, I think you will see my point. Allowing time for the McGill bureaucratic process, let us say that this hypothetical plan goes into effect in December.

This would mean that the user fee would account for five months or 151 days. If you do the math, keep­ ing in mind that I am merely a stu­ dent of the arts, I think you’ll find that this comes out to a fee of 9.930 a day. How can one expect those students who wish to use the facili­ ties to shell out that kind of cash?

Where are students going to come up with 69.50 a week?

In conclusion, I feel that this state-of-the-art facility should remain in its current state of stagna­ tion and that the student body should continue to suffer for the sake of a few myopic individuals who want to argue about “principles” and bitch about financial oppression. After all, why allow the much needed facility to be used when you can turn it into a “causé” which will springboard you into the wonderfully hypocriti­ cal world of student politics?

October — several months before the referendum. If I had a dime for every time I heard the old “October excuse,” I could easily afford to pay for the entire fitness centre myself.

Yet, since I have been unable to set up such a system of income, I cannot provide the necessary fiduciary assistance and thus, the facility remains plagued with a dearth of funding.

The logical solution to this dilemma of course is to let the fit­ ness centre sit there, completely unused, until student politicians have debated the matter to death. After all, this is not really about an athlet­ ics facility which the entire student body wants to use, but it’s about pol­ itics. Someone has to adopt this cause and argue about the principles behind this travesty, thus making a name for him or herself. Moreover, rumour has it that the immediate solution might be to charge a one­ time user fee upwards of $15! I refuse to take such a flagrant use of rationality and intelligence without a fight! Let us consider the implica­ tions of this draconian suggestion.

Sure, everyone would be able to finally make use of this wonderful new fitness centre which is currently sitting idle. And sure, this would alleviate problems of overcrowding at the current gym and allow every­ one to work out in an improved

Post-secondary education for whiny cry-babies with diaper rash I try to spend as little time as possible contemplating the purpose of post-secondary education since it almost always promotes the erosion of my already dismal homework habits. However, it recently came to my attention that there are more than 1,700 people enrolled in a first-year biology course at the University of Toronto — allegedly the largest university class in the world — and 1 knew my studies were going to suf­ fer until I came to terms with the existence of this academic behemoth.

First, a few details. As you might expect, the lectures are broad­ cast in a gargantuan theatre via some Floydesque stereo system, while visuals are projected on a thirty-foot square screen from pre-prepared slide carousels. Professors (who split the course three ways into consecu­

tive sections because the workload would be too much for just one) are actually present to deliver the lec­ tures, but their presentation would probably be improved by recording them in advance and providing the

Over the Top Dan Loomer class with a holographic image. In other words, there’s probably not much of a question period.

Given these first impressions, there seems to be several questions that immediately come to mind. For example, are all these people truly fascinated by how blood clots? Or, if elementary genetics was really so interesting, wouldn’t unenrolled stu­

dents be sneaking into the theatre for freebies or resourceful business undergrads bootlegging handy-cam versions of the lectures and advertis­ ing them on the net? From another angle, does the greater Toronto area really need two thousand more people per year who are familiar with the details with how a scab heals?

O.K. you say, I’m being silly, and rightly so.

Courses like these provide a function. They separate the aspiring Darwinians from the Sociobiologists, ensuring we have the best people doing genetic research on gametes from supra-ovu­ lating surrogate mothers. But if uni­ versity education is really about dis­ tinguishing the wheat from the chaff, why couldn’t there be a weeder course sufficiently compelling that everyone would want to do well?

Canadian history according to the ‘Tragically Hip” for example?

The only reasonably consistent explanation I can come up with for the number of'students subjecting themselves to single-cell division is that enduring four years of post-sec­ ondary school classes has become a social necessity, designed to prolong the adolescence of a generation wait­ ing for those folks with jobs to die or retire (either that or it’s the most impressive conspiracy to sell horren­ dously over-inflated textbooks imag­ inable).

Think it through. Is an under­ graduate degree a valuable employ­ ment commodity? Not really. The frustration we’ll inevitably encounter trying to become gainfully employed with a B.A. in our back pocket will just turn into an incentive to attend grad-school, reinforcing the contin­ ued post-pubescent effect. I have

come to believe that this ideological ‘necessity’ for higher education runs deeper than we imagine.

This being the case, I would encourage you to approach your tenure at university as just what it is — yet another half-decade of day­ care. (If you include tuition and liv­ ing expenses, it costs just about the same amount). Amid the maelstrom of mid-terms this week, ask yourself, are you enjoying your supervisors and playmates? Are your friends at other day-cares enjoying their expe­ rience? Should you consider chang­ ing play school programs? How do your buddies with home-care like the extra attention from mom and dad?

Mr. Loomer enjoys the naps at noon and daily dosages o f milk and c o o k ies in clu ded in his M cGill tuition.

Big breasts and the bloated male ego A woman revealed her breasts to a man and the man objected. This is the basic premise of a letter to the editor that appeared in the McGill Daily a week ago. A “concerned McGill student” wrote to the Daily to express moral outrage at Peel Pub’s wet T-shirt contests. You idiot, I thought to myself, if you’re so enraged by the contest, why are you talking about it, thereby providing free advertising to M cG ill’ s degenerates?

The next thought that crossed my mind is that he doth protest too much. I think this is a natural reaction when a male expresses outrage at pornography. A small part of me always suspects the protestor has a stack of Juggs maga­ zines under his bed. I also suspect Jesse Helms has an unnatural fond­ ness for sheep. I suspect the mem­ bers of the Moral Majority and the subscribers to the Playboy channel are the same people. I suspect Oral Roberts— you know, I’d finish that joke but any man named Oral has suffered enough.

We are naturally suspicious of those that fight too hard to be moral­ ly upright. They’re in denial or hid­ ing something. If men are ever going to make a contribution to the fight against pornography, the objectifica­ tion of women argument isn’t going to work.

Let’s create a strip-club-attending hyper-male to convert into an anti-pornography crusader. He

drinks beer. He builds stuff out of wood. He plays rugby, prefering the homo-eroticism of sticking your head in another man’s crotch to the effeminate game of football where everyone wears shiny pants and dances in the end zone. He’s a man’s man. O.K, he’s A1 Bundy’s man, but he’ll do.

services building and its perfect location should be a tremendous improvement to McGill as a whole.

Here, international students’ current despair turns to hope as we shall be getting our own lounge as part of it.

It is indeed still early days in terms of planning, but it is important to draw attention now to our hopes of what a great name like McGill should be providing, so that the best effort possible is made to produce something of which everyone will be proud. I trust that those concerned will take note of the MISN Lounge

despair about the current situation was in fact false. It is not true that “a new building for international stu­ dents is to be constructed next fall,” not even a temporary one.

It is true, however, that a new building is being built (hopefully ready at the end of 1999). This building will be something consider­ ably more permanent than the tem­ porary housing that spontaneously appeared on lower campus not so long ago. In fact, the new student

Jamie Cowan How do you convince this troglodyte that going to the wet tshirt contest is not in society’s best interest? You convince him it’s not in his own best interest. To pay for a pseudo-sexual experience is to say, “I believe there is nothing in me that a woman might find attractive.

Nothing, except this ten dollar bill that will get me a lap dance.” It’s like a game of darts where you pay someone to stick your dart in the bullseye for you. Even worse, it’s like a game of darts where everyone hits the bullseye. Part of the pride involved in picking up at a bar is you’re achieving something your peers are not. Trying to pick up is a game show where some people get the booby prize and others go home empty handed. When you go to a strip club, the twenty year old quar­ terback and the fifty year old accountant are equal. Everyone gets

the same access, the same experi­ ence.

The major objection most pomloving men put forward is that it’s easier to go to a wet T-shirt contest than to seek out real intimacy on a regular basis. They’re seeking quan­ tity rather than quality. In my limited experience, contact with a woman of three dimensions woman is far superior to contact with a woman of two.

I ’ m no Don Juan. I'm barely Don Knotts, but I know that whoever named “Super Sex” is lying. “Minimal Contact” would be a far more accurate name.

The fight againist the skin trade has often focused on the supply. If you want to end pornography, aim for the demand. Don’t tell men they’re degrading women, tell them they’re degrading themselves. The reasons againist pornography are all found in the bloated male ego. Once a man realizes pornography degrades him he might begin to understand its effect on women.

I don’t place myself above my masculine brothers. I drink beer, build things and prefer rugby. I’m just not a fan of pom, my ego’s too bloated.

Mr. Cowan can be seen hand­ ing out self-help books to hyper­ m ales late Saturday nights on St. Catherine street.

Planning Committee report, espe­ cially where we recommend enough window space for naturally induced photosynthesis and other life in gen­ eral (coinfortable living areas need windows!). Please give international students something to celebrate — a much needed home-away-fromhome so that they will then spread their joy all over the world.

extra mile. Self-reflexiven ess always goes in these post-modern nineties, so why not emphasize the perversity and twistedness of mix­ ing up the order of your letters by making your anagram equally perverse and twisted?

For instance, take the New York Times. It’s one of the most reputable pieces of journalism on the planet, filled with integrity, accuracy and justice. Of course, it’s also known as Sir Wet Monkey. Or “try me on (winks).” These are more desirable anagrams than “Stymie Keno Wk.” despite sound­ ing like one of their editorials, or “We try some ink,” which even reflects the media’ s medium, because the former allude to sexu­ ality. In case you’ve missed it, our society oppresses sexuality. That’s why the mother of cuss words is slang for sex. You know the one; it has no anagram.

Most of the time, anagrams will have one right answer. That is to say, after spending hours staring at letters parading up and down your notebook, you’ll know when you hit the winner.

Truth be told, anagrams are addictive. In fact, I’d like to close with a few tips on successful decoding so you can get in and get out with great results. First, always itemize. Cross off each letter as you place it in its new spot. There’s

nothing worse than thinking you’ve pieced together “How about a Freudian slip?” only to find that you’ve placed that V one too many times. Doh! Second, it helps to organize your letters in an intermediary stage. The gloss can show groups of repeated letters, or vowel or consonant clusters depending on

whether you’re working with heaps of vowels or loads of consonants.

But above all, have fun with it!

Religion and break-up motivate dental technician to create choir B y D e b o r a h N et b u r n H ea t h e r S o k o l o f f

and

Hello.

To contact the dentist’s office, press 1.

To contact the choir, press 2.

To contact Pierre, press 3.

To rest, please lean your head on a compassionate shoulder.

Not your average voice mail greeting. But the message is not from your average man, either.

Pierre Anthian is a part-time dental technician. He is also the founding director of Le Chorale de L ’Acceuil — a choir made up of 20 homeless men.

“It is not your usual choir,” Anthian said. “Some of the people didn’t have any musical knowledge.

There were no auditions. These men

Ten months ago, Anthian was a volunteer at L’ Acceuil Bonneau, a shelter for the homeless. “I walked into the shelter one day and announced that I wanted to start a choir.” he explained. “The first rehearsal four showed up including me, the next time seven, the next time twelve and so on.”

Whatever the choir members may be lacking in musical skill, they make up for in personality.

They are natural performers who love to clown around with the audi­ ence. They offer roses to spectators and splash water on one another.

Cheerful optimism is the prevalent theme in their musical selection.

Every Saturday show opens with a hearty rendition of “Oh Happy Day.” Their repertoire ranges from “California Dreaming” by the Mamas and the Papas to Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” Anthian’s position in the choir is also flexible: “I conduct a little, I sing a little and I have a lot of fun,” he said.

Anthian grew up in France, and studied music at the Paris Conservatory and the Conservatory of the South of France. He arrived

Like “The choir also helps society. petual outsider. “I have grown up in the scriptures.

People hear us sing, and I think it my whole life feeling this way.”

The success of the choir has far exceeded Anthian’s expectations.

When he founded the choir he had hoped that it would help the men by improving their self esteem and lending a sense of regularity to their lives, but said that he “didn’t imagine how pop­ ular the choir would be with the public.”

They have sung on radio and have appeared on television 27 times.

They have been invited to schools, universities, hos­ pitals and churches. They have shared stages with P ie rre A n th ia n lea d s th e c h o ir Rachel Ong numerous Quebec celebri­

ties, including Richard Séguin, M arie-Denise Pelletier, André Gagnon, and even Montreal mayor Pierre Bourque.

Currently they are recording a CD of Christmas carols. They head­ lined the first annual Buskers Festival at Concordia University, and were featured as a cover story in the Montreal Mirror.

The choir members divide up their earnings equally after each show. They usually make about $25 each, though revenue is far from consistent — a bad day can leave them with as little as 25 cents per person.

“We are ready to work at an} opportunity. We can do concerts in banks, hotels, schools, parks. If we can do it in the metro, we can do it anywhere.” Anthian said enthusias­ tically.

This winter the choir will go to Paris for a week to help start a simi­ lar choir and help other homeless people.

“The men have been putting aside three dollars each from the money they make at each concert in order to save up for it. They are very excited to go. We will sing in the metro there.”

Anthian is especially anxious for the men to see his city. Although he misses Paris, Anthian has not decided whether he will move back.

“For now, I must finish my project with my friends from the choir.”

By far the greatest success of the choir is that almost all of its members now have homes. A few of the newest members are still homeless, “but our goal is to change that,” Anthian asserted confidently.

“Just like the others.”

The choir’s closing number is often “Comme les Hommes des Amour,” the song that played as the great ship Titanic went down.

Anthian sees the song as a particu­ larly appropriate anthem for his choir. “These men were ship­ wrecked people socially speaking,” he explained. “But now they are no longer under the sea.”

Though the C h orale de L ’Acceuil sings many places, you can find them Saturday and Friday afternoons at the Cathedral on St. Catherine, Wednesday afternoons at the B asilica de Notre Dame, and daily at the Berri-UQAM metro sta­ tions from 7:00 to 9:30 a.m.

Move over Marcel: school redefines the arts of mime J o e l M c K im

The movie Tootsie features a scene in which Dustin Hoffman, having just lost his job and his love-interest, is walking dejected­ ly through Central Park. Hoffman happens upon an innocent mime (complete with black and white striped shirt, painted face and beret) sm elling an im aginary flower. He stops, watches for a moment then proceeds to give the mime a good hard shove, sending him hurtling to the ground.

Asselin explained that mime in this city has undergone dramat­ ic changes over the last 25 years.

It is on Decroux’s fundamen­ tal techniques of movement that the school’s teachings are based.

A ccording to D ecroux, every movement is symbolic and, there­ fore, the human body can be a powerful way of conveying mean-

“Mime and language are the same thing,” explained Asselin, and it is the grammar of this artis­ tic language that the school has endeavored to teach their 1,750 students to date. Asselin added that mime is a matter o f “the mind owning the body” and that the school teaches the students how to use their bodies as a pow­ erful means of expression.

L ’E cole de Mime is affiliated with the Omnibus theater compa­

Rachel Ong Tembeck, a student enrolled in Mc Gi l l ’ s theater program, became interested in L ’É cole de Mime. “I ’ve always been inter­ ested in physical theatre,” she said, “and I finally enrolled in a class this summer.”

Tembeck stressed the rigor­ ous methods involved in the courses and explained that her intensive two-week summer class involved five and a half hours of mime each day.

Tembeck thinks that mime’s bad reputation stems from its often intimidating subtlety.

“When you see mime, it’s physi­

cal language you have to be able to read, and that scares people away,” she said. “But it’s amaz­ ing what you can realize from a physical movement.” Her enthusi­ asm for the program is obvious.

“It’s permeated all that I do,” she says, “it’s the best theatrical train­ ing I’ve ever had.”

Judging by the success of the school and the number of sold-out Omnibus productions, it appears that Tembeck and Asselin’s pas­ sion for the art form is spreading.

Canadian comic Harland Williams takes on Hollywood B y L ee O

b er l a n d e r

After serving as a forest ranger near Lake Superior for five years, Toronto-born Harland Williams decided to pack up his belongings and head south of the border to pursue a career in come­ dy.

In the tradition of Canadian talents like John Candy and Jim Carrey, Williams left cold winters behind in order to further his funny-man dreams. W illiam s’ most recent endeavor, RocketMan, isn’t a film aimed at university stu­ dents, but is aligned with most of Disney’s projects — a movie for the kids that won’t bore their par­ ents to death.

Williams, who started out as a stand-up comic, is enjoying his acting stint but really looks for­ ward to being a writer and director someday. A college graduate in animation, he also writes and illus­ trates children’s books. Williams said that he tries to write at least three screenplays a year so that when opportunity knocks, he “will

“We were all raised on french already have some material in the toast and maple syrup. I think there chamber.”

The old cast of Second City must be an enzyme in the french (Martin Short, Joe Flaherty, toast that déments your brain... It’s Eugene Levy) as well as Parisian a french toast freak show, baby!” actor and director Jacques Tati are ready sources of inspiration for Williams because he thinks they’re “inherently funny peo­ ple.”

“It’s real humour.

It’s not crafted from a page, it’ s not from a director telling them what to do — it comes from their spirit.

T h ey’re ju st truly funny — they make me laugh,” Williams said of his comedy idols. But Williams Williams meets his match likens his real mission In R ocketM an , W illiam s to the path of Woody Allen who involves himself in every aspect of demonstrates his endearing humour with impersonations and movie production.

According to W illiam s, a improvisational portions (he actu­ Canadian upbringing naturally pro­ ally re-wrote a good deal of the script). duces comedians.

A large portion of the movie was filmed at NASA and use of the G-force chair as well as lowgravity chambers significantly added to the humour content of this no-brainer movie. Another attraction was W illiam s’ scene­ stealing chimp costar — although he liked “spending some time with a primate,” he said it required a lot of patience because “when the monkey steps on to the set, you’ve just got to step back and say ‘okay, it’s monkey time!”’

Williams con­ siders him self homeless since he sold his house recently and is now on a whirlwind publicity tour. He calls Los Angeles “home base,” but don’t expect him to start singing the “Star Spangled Banner” any time

soon.

“Canada’s still my home and I ’m very patriotic...but I did that for 29 years and I’m happy to be experiencing new things...

Someday I might come back there — I hope I do.”

Talking about tunes, Williams expressed mixed feelings about Elton J ohn’ s “Rocketm an.”

Although the song has new mean­ ing to him since the movie, he recalled signing autographs in a shopping mall one day when “they had ‘RocketMan’ on a loop.”

“I heard it 982 times and felt like I was in Clockw ork Orange with my eyes peeled waiting for the serum to take effect,” he joked.

Which is precisely how you may feel after seeing RocketMan only once. But this french-toast loving boy from the old North should not be dismissed — you’ll be hearing from Harland Williams again.

Beyond Therapy: a mental health questionnaire B y E la in e O 'C o n n o r

1. You are: (Choose one) A) Prudence, a desperately lonely cat-woman main­ taining lurid love affairs with both your sexually inadequate male therapist and pathetic bisexual boyfriend.

B) Bruce, a sexually confused man placing personal ads to meet women on the advice of your deranged shrink who refuses to admit that you’re gay.

C) Bob, the sulky male lover of the aforementioned bisexual man with a singing transvestite mother and a pen­ chant for releasing anger with starting pistols.

D) Stuart, the sleazy macho therapist with a knack for seducing female clients, throwing temper tantrums and ejac­ ulating prematurely.

E) Charlotte, a maniacal female psychotherapist fixated on a stuffed Snoopy toy, desserts, and disco — not neces­ sarily in that order.

F) Andrew, a bewildered ex-reform school waiter-inabsentia, boy-toy of a jilted gay man and insane female shrink.

Answer: Any o f the above — we d on ’t discriminate on the basis o f psychoses here.

2. Pick the statement which best describes your situation

one ul the above characters.

You are: as

A) a typical McGill Arts student.

B) on Geraldo.

C) certifiable.

D) in a Christopher Durang play.

Answer: I f you answered affirmatively to any o f the above, you are beyond therapy. But i f you answered "D,” you are officially “Beyond Therapy,” — the twisted new P layers’ Theatre offering which starts o ff this f a l l ’s drama season on October 14.

3. Match each actor to the appropriate characteristic.

1. Darcy Scott (Bruce) A) fucking hilarious 2. Trevor Nutley (Stuart) B) lucky you have a strong 3. Emily Crookshank supporting cast (Prudence) C) there in spirit 4. Dave Bowles (Andrew) D) McGill’s answer to Jim Carrey 5. Yani Motskin (Bob) E) believably dorky and clueless 6. Jessica Greenberg F) a master of snark, perfectly (Charlotte) petulant Answers: (LE, 2.D, 3.B, 4.C, 5.F, 6.A)

Let’s face it — rule number one in a comedy is that the psycho will always steal the show. Not surprising then that the two shrinks, played by Nutley and Greenberg, are “I’mgoing-to-piss-my-pants-laughing” funny. The play was writ­ ten for them. It is much harder to hold your own as an actor against such killer roles, but both Motskin and Scott man­ age admirably as idiosyncratic-but-sincere neurotics. The part you don’t want to play in a Durang play is the straightman or woman to this motley group of peers. To their cred­ it, Crookshank and Bowles (when he’s actually on stage) do their best, but simply can’t compete with Nutley’s spastic tantrums and Greenberg’s orgasmic writhings.

All the actors in Beyond Therapy attempt to strike a difficult balance between slapstick come­ dy and deadpan (pseudo-) realism. Durang is a bit nutty himself on this point — he insists in the pl ay’ s director' s notes that the characters shouldn’t be played as farcical stereotypes, but as real people in 3D. This was the approach the director decided to adopt. Speaking of which...

not merely as a comedy, but as a believable character study.

To be quite honest, I’m not convinced that “Durang” and “believable” aren’t mutually exclusive terms, but what I see working perfectly is the innovative costume and design con­ cept.

Continued on page 16

4. Circle the correct answer.

The director of the play: A) is Ed Wood/Mirella Amato/Ron Howard.

B) has previously worked on Cats/infomercials/a play for her Italian class.

C) was inspired to produce the “Beyond Therapy” when she heard God/saw the movie starring Jeff Goldbloom/ lost a bet.

Answer: I f we have to spell it out, you are well beyond both therapy and I.Q. P roceed directly to question 6. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Mirella Amato is surprisingly calm and organized for a second-time director with rough­ ly a week before her show goes up. The rehearsal runs smoothly, the actors (for the most part) know their lines, there are (as of yet) no major technical catastrophes, and no “I-am-so-sick-ofworking-with-you” drama diva scenes to contend with. That the cast and crew appeared so relaxed at the point in a production where Murphy’s Law usually takes its toll is probably due to the fact that Amato has placed a clear emphasis on char­ acter, and therefore cast dynamics, in developing the play. She wants the play to be interpreted,

Spirit of ‘77: Punk’s legacy continues to inspire Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk

By Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain Penguin Paperbacks $19.99 The most beautiful accomplish­ ment of the punks was that they managed to rewrite rock ‘n roll his­ tory in their own image. The Beatles in Hamburg? That was punk\ Jerry Lee Lewis was punk\ The huddled masses at C BG B’s and Max’s Kansas City may have been dwarfed by the mil­ lions of Aerosmith fans, but their passion for the music was unstop­ pable. Very few of the CBGB kids, consequently, ever abandoned rock V roll for the world of respectabili­ ty. Some started bands. Most became rock critics. Either way, they and their progeny took over, ensuring blue-collar rockers like the

Y

Ramones a place above the Eagles in the rock pantheon.

Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain were among the fans who ^s* became disciples.

Like those other apostles we know from history, punk’s disciples were smelly, they wore dirty clothes and their numbers were few, but, as witness­ es to the divine, they preached with a pas­ sion that was infectious and ended up conquering a continent or two. We have them to thank for punk’ s recent (and inevitable) canonization in popular memory.

McNeil and McCain’s 446-page punk rock Bible, P lease Kill Me, is finally available in paperback (and a Penguin, no less).

Featuring 22 extra pages of “depraved testimo­ ny,” this tome sets the record straight, clear­ ing up all popular mi sconcept i ons once and for all.

McNeil was among the founders of Punk maga­ zine, the periodical that lent its name to the scene. If anyone knows what really went down, it’s him.

Please Kill Me has no defini­ tive narrator. Rather, it’s an oral his-

TH E

rather a certain befuddled amuse­ ment. “You couldn’t compete with those images of safety pins and spiked hair,” muses McNeil.

Please Kill Me is not for the faint of heart or the closed-minded.

It documents, in vivid detail, a glo­ rious head-on collision between white trash and the intellectual fron­ tier. The true story is far more shocking than popular memory is willing to acknowledge. New York punk’s close associations with the gay and transsexual communities, for example, have been completely glossed over in previous accounts.

This work, however, is no white­ washed, sanitized punk history.

P lea se K ill Me is the real deal, handed down to the reader without apology or explanation. Buy the book, pick up the records and be amazed that something so great took until 1991 to reach a mass audience.

The deviant sex. The drugs. The random violence. It was fantastic and we all missed out.

H i s influ­ ence on popular mus i c simply cannot be o v eresti­ mated. We irrrrrP h b b ^ k Will F a ll b r i n g s together 19 acts (including the M isfits, D-Generation, 7 Year Bitch and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) in a glorious celebration of the blasphemous legacy of King Stooge. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts lend a gender reversal to “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” while Joey Ramone confronts the anxiety of influence on “1969,” the opening track on the Stooges’ classic debut album and the song to which Joey owes his singing voice (and entire career).

Iggy was howling such obscenities as “Stick it deep inside/’Cause I’m loose” as early as 1970, proclaiming his unabashed omnisexuality at a time when “gay” still meant “happy.” Twenty-seven years later, explicitly queer punk outfit Pansy Division (who cover “Loose” on this collection) can do their thing with nary a raised eye­ brow. That’s perhaps the ultimate testimony to Iggy’s (and punk’s) triumph over the sadomasochistic hypocrisy that kindred spirit Bertrand Russell orginally recog­ nized as the foundation of Western sexual morality.

The McGill Young Alumni Association is proud to present a special live taping of the critically acclaimed PBS show The Editors. The show centres around a panel of six guests, who have been invited from diverse fields to discuss and debate specific issues and events of the day. Three of the panel members invited include, Principal Bernard Shapiro, Dr. Margaret Somerville, and Paul Sheridan of the McGill Debating Union a graduate of the Class of 2000. Previous panelists have included presidents and CEO's of important corporations and institutions, officials from the academic world as well as illustrious guests from the arts community.

The upcoming shows to be taped on McGill campus focus on issues and concerns pertaining to the Class of 2000, Broadcasting in the New Millenium and Current Political and Social Events. This special taping will be hosted by former McGill Principal David Johnston and there will be an open microphone to take questions from the audience consisting of students and recent graduates. So come early to get a glimpse of television in the making and participate in a bit of McGill University history. The taping of the three shows will take place on Saturday, October 18, 1997, at Moyse Hall, Arts Building, 853 Sherbrooke Street West, Main Campus. To attend, please call Kathy Bowman(398- 6888) to register. Seating is limited. Doors open at around noon.
