McGill has a vibrant and active student body. Each year, the Scarlet Key Society seeks to recognize the achievements of outstanding leaders on this campus. Students who build and create change. Students who leave their mark on McGill long after they have left.

The Scarlet Key Society has been around McGill for almost 75 years. In 1971, the Scarlet Key Award was introduced with a view to recognizing the achievements of M cGill’s outstanding student leaders. Since that time, the contributions o f over 1,500 student leaders have been recognized.

Scarlet Key Awards are only given to students who have attended the University for at least one academic year. Thus, the award is not available to students in their first year at McGill. The Scarlet Key Society is not affiliated with the Students’ Society of McGill University.

The application procedure is simple. Pick up an application package at the SSM U front desk. Get two letters of reference

McMUN Anyone?

Canadian Senator London Pearson, keynote speaker at the McGill Model United Nations, has a chuckle as she addresses a crowd of 1,000 university delegates from across the U nited States and Canada. The annual tour­ nament was organized by the United N atio n s S tu d en ts' A ssociation o f McGill and is one o f the largest of its kind in North America. The conference unfolded as various UN committees tried to change the world in their busi­ ness suits, sequestered in the Centre Sheraton. The University o f Calgary emerged triumphant.

H e's hacked out both the natural end to it all. In five years, with "special academ ic projects" and "fac­ the Superfund fee expiring and further ulty revitalization" provisions, reduc­ cuts having been made to the m oney in g th e p ro p o s a l to $ 8 0 a y e a r — M cG ill gets from the governm ent, the though it's still open to re v isio n by S S M U w ill b e o u t f o r m o r e .

M cG ill will be, fo r all Shatner building out o f its status as a intents and purposes, a private institu­ d eath -trap and m on ey fo r a bursary tion, but one w here the privatization fund to aid students confronted with has happened at the instigation o f stu­ fin a n cia l o b liv io n .

p oint out, is not r e a l ly an in c re a se in fe e s — the lib rary com p o n en t, w h ich is $ 1 4 at the tim e o f this w riting, ju s t r e p la c e s th e L ib r a ry Im p ro v e m e n t Fund levy that has been in place since 1 9 9 5 and e x p ire s at the end o f this year. " If that money were lost," Reid argues, "it would amount to a six-hund red -th ou san d -d ollar cut in funding fo r the libraries."

F o r one thing, it is an extrem ely cheap stunt to link a lot o f new spend­ ing with spending that is already in place. F o r another, it gives lie to the idea that the Superfund — how ever m uch the fe e ends up bein g — is in any way temporary.

I f the fee is approved at referen­ dum in M arch, it w ill never, ever go a w a y . D u n c a n 's a rg u m e n t f o r th e library com ponent m akes it clear that the libraries have becom e thoroughly addicted to the m oney that the Library Im p ro v e m e n t F u n d p ro v id e s . T h e S S M U w ill b e co m e ad dicted to the m oney provided by the bursary fund, there is no question; when the money

to re p a ir th e S h a tn e r b u ild in g h as served its pu rpose and is no lon g er needed, it is a sure bet that w hoever holds o ffice there in a few years will find som e other purpose fo r the rev­ enue.

S till w orse is the precedent that th e S u p erfu n d w ill set. T h e S S M U establishm ent has agreed that the situ­ ation is d esperate. T h e governm ent, the argum ent runs, has abdicated its responsibility, and it is trem endously n o b le (th a t is th e w ord R e id u se s: "n o b le ") o f students to take m atters in to th e ir o w n h a n d s ; w e w ill b e demonstrating to the governm ent that w e c a re d e e p ly a b o u t M c G ill and about education.

T h e ir h op e is p re su m a b ly th at th is p r o o f o f c o m m itm e n t w ill so im p ress the g ov ern m en t that it w ill suddenly sm ack itse lf in the forehead, ask itself what it was thinking all that tim e, and restore education funding to appropriate levels. That w ill not hap­ pen. T he governm ent is far m ore lik e­ ly to see students as willing to shoul­ der an even greater share o f spending on education. "H it us again," the m es­ sage is. "W e can take it."

T he plan's proponents have tried to cast it as a progressive measure, as an aid to an educational institution in dire need. O n the contrary, it is regres­ sive, in that it w ill place an equal bur­ den on all M cG ill students, regardless o f their means, in the course o f spend­ ing m oney on what ought to be con ­ sidered a com m on social good. M ake no mistake. T he Superfund fee, how ­

point o f view , form al tuition can have rem ained unchanged from their 1999 levels.

John Ralston Saul, political theo­ ris t, M c G ill g ra d u a te , and g e n e ra l in te lle ctu a l H e -M a n , has ca lle d the n e o co n se rv a tiv e s cu rren tly running this sad show the "B o lsh evik s o f the Right." H e argues that the neocons are trying to provoke cla ss w arfare, but from the opposite d irection to w hat Karl M arx expected. T he Q uebec gov­ ernm ent has tried to push schools to the point where either som ebody else has to pick up the tab for what is right­ ly the governm ent's (that is, society's) responsibility, or the schools fail.

T h e S S M U 's solu tion is to sur­ render to this tactic. This is not nobili­ ty. T he truly noble thing to do is also the hardest: to ca ll the governm ent's bluff. H orrible things might w ell hap­ pen to this school fo r a tim e, ju s t as they w ill undoubtedly happen to other schools across the country who have student bodies less able to pay a little bit extra. B u t when the decay o f pub­ lic education becom es apparent, when im poverished sch o o ls beg in turning o u t ill-p re p a r e d g ra d u a te s and th e com m ercial sector b egin s to pay the price fo r it, the public's indifference to the problem will vanish. Governments w ill be elected on genuine prom ises to fund public education as it should be funded.

T h e a ltern a tiv e is to do as the short-sighted student p oliticians cur­ rently occupying the Shatner building would have us do, and approve a fee hike. That is the easy way out o f the current m ess, but it will lead to much, m uch greater pain.

T h e S S M U p e o p le h a v e b e e n talking a lot about m aking allow ances for people who will o b ject to the plan "on principle." M uch o f the discussion on this point has centred on how to marginalize these people, or at least to persuade them that the plan really isn't so bad and that they should put their principles aside.

There is a reason why the course o f action dictated by principle tends so often to turn out to also be the prag­ m a t ic a lly s m a rt th in g to d o , e v e n when it m ight not look like it to begin with. A principled stance against the governm ent's agenda will hurt, and it w ill probably hurt a lot. B u t turning aw ay from principle — by assuming f o r s tu d e n ts r e s p o n s ib i l it i e s th a t should be placed elsew here — w ill be re v e a le d , in the end , to b e the real cow ardice.

Dear Undergraduate Students, Here is the final budget o f the Student Center o f McGill University as ratified by the Legislative Council last semester. This budget reflects the combination o f a number o f influences including the 1998-1999 Operations Budget passed in Match, my work and ideas during the summer and first semester, and the invaluable input o f the Accountants and General Manager. The following information is a summary o f the significant distinctions between this year"s Budget and previous budgets.

My focus this year has been threefold. The first has been to provide improved resources and services for our interest groups (i.e. clubs, services, and publications). T o this end, the actual clubs binding has doubled from the 1997-1998 year. T o complement the additional funding, a new position, that o f the Clubs and Services Commissioner was created to improve services to clubs.

The SSMU Services (McGill International Students Network, Players1Theatre, Sexual Assault Center, Queer McGill, Volunteer Bureau, Women's Union, Savoy Society, Walksafe, Black Students’ Network, Mature and Re-entry Students’ Association, and McGill Students for literacy) benefited from a 23% increase in funding.

My second concern for the year was to improve the communicative aspects o f our operations. In the Publications section o f the budget you will see the variety o f media operations run directly and indirectly by the Students’ Society. O f note is the creation o f XYM, SSMU new television station. Similarly, SSMU O n -fin e, the Society’s web site has taken on new' importance and was recently redesigned (Check it out at www'.ssmu.mcgill.ca !).

communication with its students, SSMU publications enjoyed a 240% increase in subsidies.

Finally, the third focus was in Information Technology. 1 believe that IT is one o f the principle means by which we can improve our communication, our services to our interest groups, and our overall internal productivity. Accordingly, a new and more competitive computer store - University Bytes - was brough t to the Shatner Building, SSMU’s network administration was outsourced, a new computer network implemented, an Internet Service Provision Fund was created and, as mentioned above, a new' web site established.

D ept

Cost cutting measures have been implemented to streamline our Administrations resulting in a $10(1,000 decrease in operating costs. Orher budgetary constraints have been imposed on Council Services reducing their collective subsidies by approximately $15,000.

AH told, 1998-1999 should be the third financially positive year for the Students’ Society w'ith an anticipated transfer o f $40,000 to the Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund.

Tins fund has been accumulating since its creation in 1986 and is used for long-term capita] expenditures such as the purchases o f new computers and building infrastructure. The fund will prove useful in the upcoming year due to the expenses that will be incurred as a result o f the remodeling o f the Shatner Building this summer, I would be pleased to answer any c|uestions concerning the budget that you may have. 1 can be contacted at (514) 398-6802.

Best wishes for the remainder o f the year.

Although revenues from Student Fees has steadily decreased in the past few years it will be counterbalanced w'ith greater revenues in the category o f Food and Beverage services.

This is primarily the result o f the improved efficiencies in the operations o f Sadie’s and Gert’ s.

Methods for finding truth O n Jan u ary 2 5 in L e a c o c k 2 3 2 , R o g e r Sim p son , an A n g lican m in is­ ter and the m ain speaker fo r the sec ­ ond h a lf o f th e m issio n , k ic k e d o f f the w eek w ith a d ebate on the e x is ­ te n c e o r n o n -e x is te n c e o f G o d . H e w as q u ick to a ffirm that "G o d 's e x is ­ t e n c e c a n n o t b e p r o v e n o r d is p roven." H e w ent on to say that "the

A fte r d eclin in g any p o ssib ility o f proving G od 's ex iste n ce , Sim p son em ph asized that there "are plenty o f pointers [or clu es] to H is e x iste n ce ."

H e c o n tin u e d th e s e m in a r by d is ­ cu ssin g four p o ssib le indices.

T h e f i r s t w a s b a s e d o n th e a s s e r tio n th a t " d e s ig n d e m a n d s a d esig n e r." In th is lin e o f argum ent, S im p son quoted A lb ert E in stein w ho said "th e idea that this un iverse with its thousand fold ord er and precision is th e re s u lt o f b lin d c h a n c e is as c r e d ib le as th e id e a th a t i f a p rin t shop blew -up, all the type would fall d ow n in th e fin ish e d and fa u ltle s s fo rm o f a d iction ary ."

S im p s o n 's s e c o n d s u g g e s tio n w as th e notion o f "c o n s c ie n c e ." H e asked the au d ien ce, "w h ere did that in n e r s e n s e , th a t s e n s e o f ju s t i c e c o m e fro m ? W h o put it th ere?" W ith this he quoted a short chap ter out o f D o u g las C ou pland's Life After God. H e p o in te d to th e f a c t th a t in th e b o o k , C o u p la n d c o n f e s s e s th a t h e needs G od 's help to love.

T h e third clu e w as the "despair o f life w ithout G o d ," saying that " if w e are the result o f blin d ch an ce, i f w e c o m e fro m n o w h e re and w e're g o in g n o w h ere, then u ltim ately life is m ean in g less."

Herzsprung is a poetic love story set amongst the unemployment and racism of what was communist East Germany. The series continues into the spring.

Although one well known swing icon recently proclaimed that "Swing is Dead", this band with its infectious good humour and sexy lead singer prove that swing is still alive and kicking.

Never trust any band from Vermont, my Mom always said. But if you want to risk soul-shattering boredom, you might go see Strangefolk at Cabaret. $10.

Tuesday, February 16 Prissteens, at Jailhouse.

Friday Country-pop balladeer Fred J. Eaglesmith, but we don't know where or for how much. Sorry.

But all you real Canadians will be down at the Molson Centre anyway — The Tragically Hip, who seem to be experiencing a bit of a backlash amongst us high-falutin' university types, are nonetheless selling out giant arenas across the country. Someone's buying the tickets. Show your­ selves, hypocrites!

T he Mc G ill T ribune, T uesday, 2 February 1999

McGill takes some C apital punishment over weekend Redmen lose consecutive games to Ottawa and Carleton to fall to 4-8 i t a liz e o n th e p o o r p a s s in g o f th e

B y C h r istia n La n d e r T h e g a m es a g a in st O ttaw a and Carleton were definitely to be seen as b a r o m e t e r s f o r th e s t a te o f th e R e d m e n b a s k e tb a ll te a m . A h e a r t­ breaking 7 6 -7 1 lo ss to O ttaw a and a c r u s h in g 7 4 - 5 7 l o s s to C a r le t o n revealed that the R ed m en are firm ly entrenched in the m iddle o f the pack.

O n Friday, the R edm en faced an O tta w a G e e - G e e s te a m t h a t w a s h eav y on siz e and e x p e rie n c e , w ith f i v e s e n io r s , t h r e e o v e r 6 ' 6 ".

C onsequently, the team relied on both to establish a strong inside gam e that w as a b le to o u tm u scle th e R e d m en under the boards at both ends o f the court. B u t thanks to a p oor shooting percentage, turnovers, and a general aggressiveness on the part o f M cG ill, O ttaw a w as unable to ev er really pull aw ay with a com m anding lead.

"T h eir size and exp erien ce m ean nothing to us," said R ed m en forw ard A ri H u n te r a f te r th e g a m e . " T h e y have solid players but it w as a ques­ tion o f getting b a ck to fundam entals.

T h ey w eren't stronger than us."

B u t the R edm en w ere not w ith­ out their ow n faults in the first half.

T h e team continued to ra ck up need­ less fouls, 2 1 on the gam e, and they w ere unable to com p lete any sort o f passing play on o ffen ce. O ttaw a head coach Ja c k E isenm ann to o k no tice as he stepped up his press to try and cap­

Redm en.

"P e o p le w ere ju s t tire d in th e first h a lf,” said H un ter, w ho scored eight points in the gam e. "W e cam e o u t fla t, a little slo p p y . W e tend to hav e th ese lap ses, but that happens w ith a young team ."

Dow n 4 2 -3 2 at the half, M cG ill cam e out with a lot o f energy in the second and seem ed to start the com e­ b ack on the heels o f som e great plays c o m in g ab o u t fiv e m in u tes in . T h e f ir s t saw p o in t guard M a tt W a tso n ju k e past a defender and m ake a cut to th e b a s k e t fo r a to u g h lay u p on w hich he was fouled. H e hit the free throw, and the R edm en w ere b ack in it. T h e n to fu rth er the m o m en tu m , guard K irk R e id m ad e virtu ally the sam e play to help spark his team.

"W e g ot a little tired in the first h a lf and fo r part o f the second ," said second year forw ard B rad y M urphy. " B u t w e g o t c o u p le o f b a sk e ts and that re a lly e lev a te d us and b ro u g h t our legs back."

O tta w a s e e m e d to c r u s h th e m om entum with a clu tch three point­ er fro m C lin t D u nning , a 6 '0 " point guard w ho was eager to let his oppo­ nent know that the shot w ent in.

"H e m ade that shot on m e," said H unter o f the trash talking Dunning.

that kept the energy flow ing, but the R ed m en refu sed to b e d ejec te d and m a d e a s tr o n g f i n a l ru n th a t saw Ottaw a m ake stupid m istake after stu­ pid m ista k e . T h e n , at 6 :3 7 , H un ter took a pass in the com er, drove along the baseline and threw down a dunk that brought the crow d to its feet. But w here it should hav e b een the play that pushed the team to the n ext level, th e R e d m e n ju s t c o u ld n 't p u t th e gam e aw ay in the last minute and lost a clo se one. " W e f i n a l l y b a r e d d o w n on d efence, and our press started to work at the end," said M urphy, who scored a te a m h ig h 13 in th e lo s s . "E v e n though w e lo st you can see that the energy is high er b ecau se w e're w in­ ning, w e should m ake the playoffs w e sh o u ld b e a b le to ta k e it fro m there."

T h e loss w as a little dishearten­ ing, but it was a hard-fought gam e that w as w on h on estly on the court. T h e team clearly w as satisfied w ith their perform ance and was looking to build on it against Carleton on Saturday.

G oing into the gam e the Ravens were 7 -4 and second in the O U A East.

L ed by forw ard Ju stin L eo n ard , the team was able to grab hold o f an early lead and n ev er le t g o . A s the gam e went on, the Redm en would never get

Mid-season NBA preview League's top teams bullish about wide-open pursuit of championship crown in '99 B y M a n n y A lmela N ow that the storm has calm ed and the post-lockout N B A free-agent frenzy is behind us, the question is not w ho w en t w h ere but ra th e r w ho stayed put.

ELECTIONS McGILL As a McGill student, you may initiate referenda questions that will be presented to the student electorate. To do so, you must pick up the Student-Initiated Referenda Kit from the SSMU reception desk in the Shatner University Center. This kit will help you to cor­ rectly launch your own referenda question.

First, you must phrase a question dealing with one, and only one, issue. The proposed question must first be approved by the Chief Returning Officer, who will examine to assure clarity, concise language and that it does not violate the SSMU Constitution or ByLaws (unless they are proposed amendments to either of these).

Notification of acceptance/rejection will be given within 24 hours of reception by the CRO. Following notification, you must collect on a petition, clearly stating the question at the top of each page, 300 signatures from at least seven faculties of schools; no more than 30% of the signatures may come from a single faculty or school.

The entire petition must be presented to the CRO at least 21 days before the opening of the advanced polls. Thus, the deadline for signatures is Tuesday 9 February 1999.

F o rm in g Y E S / N O re fe re n d a c o m m itte e s In addition to proposing referenda questions, you may form official YES/NO committees to campaign during the referenda period. To do this, you must provide the CRO with a petition signed by 100 Students' Society members — including McGill ID numbers — by Monday, 1 March 1999. The petition must also include the name and phone number of a committee chairperson and a signed list of committee members.

Should your committee be approved, you must observe the regulations stipulated in the Student-formed Referendum Committee Kit, available at the SSMU reception desk in the Shatner University Center.

These rules limit the amount of money you can spend on your campaign and regulate the campaign conduct of the referendum committees. Only official groups may campaign for a refendum question.

AN OPEN LETTER ON THE MCGILL STUDENTS' FUND Over the past two weeks, the proposed McGill Students' Fund (MSF) has generated a lot of ' I T V 0 C° mmentS ° n the - e and9 struaure of thef nsi- ana as a result the proposal has been reworked.
