by Brian Todd A motion to sanction the McGill Daily by withdrawing all Students’ Socie­ ty advertising from the Daily almost resulted in physical vio­ lence breaking out between members of the Students’ Coun­ cil and set last Thursday’s meeting into a thirty minute state of pandemonium. The motion, put forward by Scott Keating, the V.P. Finance, was the result of a production night decision by the McGill Daily to boycott an ad plac­ ed by Les Services Alimentaires C. V.C. The ad read: “Fact” : The only issue is the preservation of student jobs. It was

signed by C.V.C. “In my opi­ nion this is cen­ sorship,” stated Keating. “It’s time someone went to bat for students. This strike affects all students,” ex­ plained Keating. He felt that “the Daily was denying the right of stu­ dents to decide for themselves.” Albert Nerenberg, Editor-in-Chief of the McGill Daily asked Keating why the Daily had not been informed of the motion to censure the Daily. He also pointed out that the Daily ad policy “is presented on the advertising rate card. The publishers have the right to refuse advertisements for any reason. The

policy is the same as that of any com­ mercial newspaper and any! autonomous student newspaper as well as many non-autonomous student newspapers.” Keating replied that the motion “is not designed to lynch the Daily. It only applies to certain departments of the Students’ Society and relatively small amounts of money.” “ It is not a harsh measure,” he concluded. Ginny Barton, clubs representative, upon examining the ad and seeing that Students’ Society was not mentioned, complained, “ I don’t see why Students’ Society is withdrawing their ads.” Keating replied that “he only made the motion to defend student rights.” He then went on to say that if the debate was fading he would call the question, a measure that would have effectively ended debate. This sparked rumblings among the representatives of the Daily who had not had their final say. Feeling that

Secretary of the Treasury. Willers con­ firmed that he had received grants from the IEA for the first issue of Libertas, his magazine at Queen’s University, but denied that the IEA had made any further contributions to either Libertas or any of the other six magazines which he has published. When asked further about finances Willers offered to say only that he received contributions from “wealthy Canadians of a conservative orienta­ tion.” Willers used much of the interview as a forum for his statement of conser­ vative faith, which blossomed during his stint as the publisher of the McGill Magazine last year. “ I didn’t believe that there was a liberal bias in the media until then.” His main interest then as now, was the American political scene he said. “I have a lot of articles published there. I’m quite well-known in the States you know. I’m not as familiar with Cana­ dian politics as I am with American.” But his determination to promote conservative thought in Canada focuscontinued on page 3

debate was being squashed, Ramesh Singal, Graduate Studies and Research Senator, Daron Westman and Ginny Barton, clubs representatives, then vacated their chairs “withdrawing their rights to sit as councillors.” What followed was thirty minutes of pandemonium. Ian Bandeen, Speaker, accused Singal of irresponsibility and childishness as theoretically the meeting had fallen below quorum and thus was in danger of being adjourned. Bandeen refused to recognize the loss of quorum and measures were taken to call in councillors to replace the three rebel councillors who were in the hall. Meanwhile during a discussion with Singal, Bandeen apparently threatened or implied the threat of physical violence, a threat for which he later apologized. The three councillors returned to the Council Chambers under the understanding that the Daily would be allowed to speak. In the final motion continued on page 3 ■

Willers, a Cont. Ed. student at McGill when he is not publishing, had contacted the Tribune the previous day and requested an interview, saying that he had been misrepresented by an arti­ cle published in the Nov. 19 issue of the McGill Daily (U.S. Institute Behind Canadian Magazines) and that he wanted an interview in order to res­ pond to that article. However, at the interview, Willers declined to answer any questions relating specifically to the Daily article, commenting instead that he was investigating legal action. But he did discuss charges that his chain was being financed at least in part by the American IEA, a neo­ conservative think-tank organized by William Simon, Richard Nixon’s

N ew Biz Contest

by Brian Todd The Montreal Board of Trade has created a new contest to focus the at­ tention of commerce students on Mon­ treal as a place for business. The contest requires business students to prepare a ten page report adressed to the Cheif Executive Officer of a real company. In the report, the entrant or entrants must explain “the particular advantages of Montreal; what it is that should attract companies to establish, in Montreal, what should make companies stay and why they should expand.”

Entries from McGill are to be hand­ ed in to Laurent Picard, Dean of the Faculty of Management. Picard will narrow the field of applicants to the semi-finalists and then send these on to the Board of Trade. There will be a total of 50 semi-finalists from the four commerce and business administration schools around Montreal. Cash prizes of $1500, $1000 and $500 will be awarded to the eventual winners and the semi-finalists will all be guests at a dinner at the Sheraton Centre. The deadlines for the applica­ tions is December 7.

by Sarah Cook The strike of the cafeteria workers has been settled. Contracts were signed by the union and C.V.C. on Wednes­ day night, last week. According to Paul McCann, Executive Director of •the Students’ Society, “both sides were satisfied with the contract. The con­ tract guarantees job security for all 44 full-time workers barring a loss of business or an act of God.” The contract also guarantees job

security for the two-hundred student part-time jobs in the pubs in the Union building. Says McCann, “Students’ Society wanted to see fairness for both the full-time and part-time workers.” “Students’ Society wanted to see parttime job security and full-time job security ensured,” concluded McCann. All the food and beverage services of the Students’ Society have returned to their normal operating schedules.

Design Contest

tackle a technical problem they iden­ tify. The Corporate Design category challenges participants to solve technical problems provided by in­ dustrial corporations. The Explanatory and Editorial Design categories pro­ vide students with the opportunity to explain a selected viewpoint or their opinions on a technical issue of social significance. More that $8000 in cash prizes will be distributed among the winners. As

well, first and second place winners from each category will be given the opportunity to participate and compete for more cash prizes in the Canadian Engineering Design Competition to be held later on in March 1985 in Waterloo, Ontario. Many companies such as Bell Canada, Alcan, Northern Telecom, Pratt & Whitney, Gaz Métropolitain and Petro-Canada will be involved in this competition: an excellent oppor­

tunity to meet future employers! All participants are required to com­ plete an entrance form available through your local QEDC represen­ tative. Also required is a one or two page project proposal letter. The deadline for application acceptance is January 7, 1985. For more information contact your Engineering Undergraduate Society.

Next week: Ann Landers recommends therapy!

W ille r s T e lls A ll continued from page 1 ed his attention on his native land once more and made him into something of a one-man publishing chain. “Most people who know me call me the ‘driv­ ing force’,” stated Willers. His publications have a dual pur­ pose, said Willers: they are an “in­ tellectual exercise” to challenge “ col­ lege liberalism” — “ McGill’s quite left wing, you know” — and they are meant as a means for Willers to explain Canadian conservatism to Americans. During the interview Willers men­ tioned his intention to begin publica­ tion of a French chain of neoconser­ vative journals aimed at Québec universities. As well, Willers plans to establish a conservative “ foundation” in Canada, but he refused to mention a name for such an organization telling the Tribune that to do so “might en­ danger its nonprofit status.” As for what connection he has to seven English language journals he has thus far published, Willers denied that they were “clone” publications as the Daily article had reported. Willers ad­ mitted that there were a few sections repeated in each of the magazines but he stated that those didn’t amount to much of the magazines’ content. However, a scan by the Tribune of Libertas and the York Spectator show­ * J lt* " + * * /b * m***/V " " * * * /V *''

ed that in the two 12 page journals, of 10 pages of articles 6 were exactly the same right down to the layout and use of colour from one publication to the next. The repeated sections included the editorial, a book review with a Francis Willers byline and an interview with George Bush and a page of quota­ tions. Still addressing the “clone” issue, all the magazines were to be editorially in­ dependent of him, as indigenous groups at each campus take over management of the publication with Willers acting merely as an ‘EMINENCE’ providing aid with his advice and ample connections. In answer to a question that some of the local campus papers were deliberately moving away from him, Willers emphasized his continuing good relations with John Mulholland of Libertas and Dalton Saunders of the Carleton Canuk in Ottawa. “Dalton is my eyes and ears at Carleton” , said Willers. Willers insisted on an interview for­ mat for his article and the Tribune agreed to meet with him again the next day to do such an interview. The event failed to materialize when Willers brought a lawyer to the meeting, in­ sisting that the reporter’s transcripts be notarized. When the Tribune declined to co-operate, Willers, despite his previous enthusiasm for an interview, refused to speak. “I’ve been burned by student journalists before. I have a reputation to protect, you don’t.” ..I p »

F ood For T hought Hard to believe, but finals are just around the corner and as we are fran­ tically running from Library to Labs and lectures, most of us are oblivious to the pre-Christmas Spirit. Christmas has often been referred to as a pure frenzy, a test for the best. As a fellow student I know how frustrating it can be to aimlessly search for the perfect gift on the twenty se­ cond of December, with five dollars left to my name! The worst part being that the perfume or hat or book seem to disappear on “ Boxing Day” . The true meaning of Boxing Day being box­ ing up all that win never be used and stuffing it in the back of the “Fibber Magee” closet. A word from the wise: gifts don’t have to be expensive — just amazing.

Have you ever noticed that when fond memories of the season are recollected food always seems to crop up at the top of the list? For these reasons I suggest gifts from your kit­ chen. Most gift giving recipes are fun, economical, and best of all, a joy to receive. So make good use of your study breaks and create your own “Christmas delight” . This is one of many recipes — have fun! Chocolate Popcorn — approx. 3 hours before serving or up to 1 week ahead: Preheat oven to 250°.

by Simma Levine Diversity is the key to the success of Radio McGill. While the main thrust of our music tends to be non­ commercial in nature and variety, our D.J’s are given a great deal of musical freedom in deciding the direction that their respective shows take. As well, all requests are played. In addition to our regular D.J. slots, Radio McGill itself with its "Wide varie­ ty of specialty shows. These shows are very important to Radio McGill, as they tend to represent the varied musical tastes of the McGill communi­ ty. Specialty shows include Jazz, Reg­ gae, Classical, and Industrial Music. Always worth a listen, these shows generally air in the evenings.

a touching play, is a vignette of youthful but difficult love between a frustrated boy and an embit­ tered girl living in Coley’s Point, New­ foundland, 1926. The Centaur production of David French’s newest play is quite successful in bringing to life the anguish and the love of this young couple. It begins with the sudden return of Jacob Mercer (Mark Saunders) who had abruptly left the year before. He returns to reclaim his old sweetheart, Mary Snow (Lucy Peacock), but she rejects all his advances. Mary has changed: she has new in­ terests and a new fiancée; but both ac­ cording to Jacob, are dull and false. And so begins the pouring out of their hidden feelings. Jacob, Mary says, had Saltwater Moon,

The McGill Players’ Theatre produc­ tion of Edward Bond’s SAVED (Nov. 21 — Dec. 1) is definitely a play worth seeing. Packed with symbolism, subtle­ ty and social commentary, “SAVED” provides an excellent conversation piece for theatre-buffs, budding eccen­ trics, and would-be artsies. Edward Bond, an English playwright, wrote SAVED in 1965 and in 1966 it was staged amid the rabid controversy over alledgedly “dirty” plays. Despite its initial notoriety,

years, making Films out of old, used ideas, and trying to give them a new twist. This movie gives me hope that there is some originality left in the film. Body Double is a project that was obviously well thought out. The plot kept me wondering what was going to happen next. The plot doesn’t reveal anything until its good and ready. You cannot believe how refreshing it is to sit through a movie and not guess, all too often too correctly, what will happen. The protagonist, Jake Scully, played by Craig Wasson, doesn’t suspect a thing of what he’s involved in until the middle of the film. The whole audience is helpless to this fact also. This pro­ bably makes it the film’s weakest point. It begins very slowly and we get a whole bunch of scenes we don’t know what to do with. What is great about this is that all these tidbits become very important later. As a mystery, this film continued on page 8

Body Double — Best Of Year? by Steve Fraser I had a bad case of the angries last Friday afternoon. That’s what I call my mood of extreme disappointment. I was disappointed at myself for having been ready to pounce on Brian DePalma’s Body Double. I was disap­ pointed at all the bad press and inac­ curacies thrown at Body Double and its maker. But most of all, I was disap­ pointed with a lot of critics. Why? Because Body Double is the best Elm I’ve seen this year. It stands out amongst the sea of mediocrity, a sea of fair, cute films. Just the technical aspect of B o d y D o u b le (ie. cinematography, editing) blows most recent films out of the pool. And the story by DePalma, adapted into a screenplay with the help of Robert J. Avrech, is sensational. I thought cinema (and TV) had become stuck on its conventions and clichés over the

been selfish and inconsiderate towards her: he shattered her hopes of a better life when he left. Now she has resigned herself to being practical; she plans to marry someone else, Jerome, for security, but not for love. However, the subtle expressions of her face can­ not hide her resilient love for Jacob. The acting portrays these nuances quite convincingly. Mary’s strong will is also believable, but may be a little too strong for the less liberated woman of the rural 1920s. But Jacob holds on to her in spite of her repeated rejections of him. He uses anecdotes and fantasies to express the feeling he cannot directly say to her. He expresses joy and anguish as he sits and moves about the coastal cottage and starry background of the stage. The acting is energetic when fantasies

are played out and poignant when pains are recalled. He is charismatic as both an actor and as Jacob Mercer. One difficulty, but not necessarily a weakness, is the regional accent and dialect spoken by the young lovers. The former is at times thick while the expressions of the latter are not always familiar. But gradually the ear adapts itself to these local touches which add to the charm and realism of the play. By its poignant humanism the story of Jacob and Mary transcends the shores of Coley’s Point. The inter­ pretations and reactions to Saltwater Moon could certainly be as varied as the faces of the audience the night I saw the play. It has both personal and universal appeal. The play runs until December 16.
