Two McGill students missing, presumed dead B Y R O B E R T STE IN ER McGill Biology student Michael Bryant may never know what hap­ pened to his roommate Vija Eger and friend Jonathan Deitcher in a stormy Caribbean Sea twelve days ago.

One of the largest search operations in the Eastern Caribbean failed to find even a trace o f Vija, 19, or Jonathan, 20.

Both arepre-med students at McGill.

Along with V ija’s 18 year-old brother Acron and 46 year-old mother Frances, both o f Vancouver, they were among five Canadians aboard the speedboat Longshot when it disap­ peared o ff S l Vincent on December 30.

“No trace has been found which would suggest that anyone from that boat family is still alive,” Art Wright, Canada’s High Commissioner to Bar­ bados, told the Tribune yesterday.

Wright explained that while search efforts involving the coast guards of six countries officially ended at 6 p.m. yesterday, relatives of the disappeared decided to stop sending private air­ craft to the search zone on Sunday.

“U.S. Coast Guard officers told the family Sunday that currents and winds would have pushed any individuals or wreckage into a very open area o f the sea,” he said.

A body sighted Sunday evening is most likely that of a French national lost in a boating accident January 2 and pushed by currents into the search zone, he said.

Wright added that a U.S. Coast Guard station in Puerto Rico would

continue to monitor any traffic in that area.

Friends o f the Eger family in Van­ couver asked yesterday that the U.S. Coast Guard make one final sweep of a large area where the Longshot was lost.

In Montreal, V ija ’s roommate Michael Bryant echoed the plea from Vancouver.

"There’s always the chance that they could be on some island,” Bryant said.

“We have sent telegrams to the Prime Minister’s Office and to the Department of External Affairs. W e’ve received no response.”

Bryant described Vija Eger, of Vancouver, and Jonathan Deitcher. o f Toronto, as “exceedingly good stu­ dents”.

“Vija wanted to be a doctor. Jon­ athan was interested in going into some professional field like medicine or

dentistry,” he said.

Vija was also a regular contributor to the Pillar magazine.

At its peak, the rescue operation involved the coast guards of six Carib­ bean countries, including the United States. The Canadian govemmenthired four private aircraft in St. Vincent to help in the search.

“It was very much the biggest search we’ve ever been involved in here,” search coordinator L t Cmdr. David Smith, of the Royal Navy, said in a telephone interview from St. Vincent.

“All we can tell about what hap­ pened is that the Egers went out on a very stormy night,” Smith said.

Canadians chartering boats in the Caribbean should make sure the crafts carry flares and radios, he suggested.

“In this case, the Longshot had no way of letting anybody know where it

The School of Computer Science opened one of its two new undergradu­ ate terminal rooms yesterday. These rooms, which are replacing the exist­ ing rooms in Burnside Hall, are lo­ cated in rooms 105N and 106N of the McConnell Engineering building.

When the move is finished the two rooms will have a total of forty- eight terminals between them, up from the twenty that were in BH 112. There will be twenty terminals connected to both UNIX and MUSIC in each room, and in addition, there will also be two PC’s and two Macintoshes connected to UNIX and MUSIC that will also be able to perform file transfers.

However, the move is not yet fin­ ished, and there have been some prob­

Alleged Rape Victim Finds Lawyer B Y K IM F A R L E Y The victim of the alleged gang rape on the Zeta Psi Fraternity House grounds last September 22nd has found a lawyer to plead her case in a civil suit.

Julius Grey, a renowned civil law­ yer and McGill professor, was ap­ proached by the alleged victim in December and agreed to represent her should she decide to press a civil suit against the three men who allegedly assaulted her.

At present the alleged victim has left Montréal, but will have to return shortly for an examination if she de­ cides to proceed with action.

Action taken thus far has been to issue letters of demand to three per­ sons, none o f whom have yet re­ sponded, according to Grey.

After the Crown decided that there was not enough evidence to proceed with a criminal trial, the woman had difficulty finding a lawyer to pro­ ceed with her in a civil suit. Grey took the case because,’I f her version of the facts is correct then she de­ serves a trial.”

In many ways, Grey asserts, a civil trial is better for a rape victim.

“While in a criminal case the vic­ tim must prove that the events occured beyond a reasonable doubt, a civil case focuses on the balance of probabilities. We must prove only that it was more probable she was raped than that she was not raped.”

Grey will be able to use the evi­ dence gathered in the police investi­ gation into the alleged rape in the suit The amount the victim is suing for has not yet been set.

P rin cip al Joh n ston stays for a n oth er te rm B Y P A U L M IC H E L L Principal David Johnston isn’t leav­ ing McGill after all.

Johnston, Principal and Vice-Chan­ cellor o f the University since 1979, had announced that he did not intend to seek a third five-year term in the posi­ tion last year, but on 15 December 1988, M cGill’s Board o f Governors reported that Johnston had agreed to stay on until 1994.

Principal Johnston, farmer Dean of the Law School at the University of

Western Ontario, was appointed Prin­ cipal of McGill at the ripe old age of 37. Ten years later, he had decided to return to one of his great loves, teach­ ing law. But in November, he agreed to submit his name to the Statutory Committee to Nominate a Principal, the ad hoc “Pick a Principal” Commit­ tee.

Much has happened to McGill dur­ ing Principal Johnston’s stewardship at the helm. In 1979, many Quebeck­ ers were still questioning the role of what appeared to be an anachronistic

lems associated with relocating. The air conditioning that was supposed to be installed by the end of last semester is still not in place; as a result, room 105N opened with twenty terminals hard wired to UNIX (Calvin) that can’t access MUSIC. It also means that there will be no access via the phone lines (ie. modem access) until there is air conditioning. The installation o f the much-needed air conditioning, accord­ ing to Steven Joo from the physical plant, “should be sometime around the end o f January, or the middleof Febru­ ary”. He also added that this is only a rough estimate and that he would have a better idea as to when the air-condi­ tioning might finally be operational when project manager Marc Lauzon returns from holidays near the middle o f the month.

The PC’s and the Macintoshes are

not currently available but should be towards the end o f the semester once the budget allows it.

In the mean time, students who need access to MUSIC will be able to use the terminals in Burnside Hall room 112, which is being kept open for access to MUSIC only until access from the new terminal rooms can be guaran­ teed. For access to UNIX, students will have to fight for the terminals in the new room which will be open from lOhOO to 22h00 daily (tentatively).

Any students interested in learning how to use UNIX on these new termi­ nals can attend the introductory semi­ nars this week, and the slightly more advanced seminars next week in room 105N. For the exact seminar times, check the posters in room 105N.

English bastion of power and priviledgerightinthe middle of a modern­ izing Québec awash with nationalist fervour. Principal Johnston has served McGill well in trying to integrate into the “New Québec”; up to 30% of McGill students are now francophones by birth.

Equally problematic has been the underfunding problem which has af­ fected the entire university system in the province, but has struck McGill particularly harshly. McGill, as a world-renowned research centre and trainer of professionals and academics alike (a very expensive prospect) has been crippled throughout the 1980’s by a lukewarm funding formula which treats Ph.D. biochemistry students in the same way as undergraduate art history students for the purpose of dispensing government funds. Being seen as a rich Anglo institution by the majority of Québec taxpayers proba­ bly doesn’t do too much for McGill’s funding possibilities either.

So Principal Johnston has had to face a decididly uphill battle when dealing with a succession o f Québec Education Ministers. While continu­ ing the fight to revise the funding for­ mula, something that is on the verge of becoming a reality due to M cGill’s proposals in the famous “Green Book”, Principal Johnston led a private fund drive, the McGill Advancement Pro­ gram, which raised $78 million over a three-year period, an unheardof amount of money for a university in Canada.

McGill ’s endo wment is now over $300 million, the largest of any Canadian university.

Principal Johnston has similarly been active in inter-university affairs, as Chairperson o f C R E P U Q (Conférence des recteurs et des princi­ paux des universités du Québec) in 1985-86, and President of the AUCC (Association of Universities and Col­ leges of Canada).

The Board of Governors was unani­ mous in its approval o f Johnston’s reappointment. Members of the Board certainly had nothing but good things to say about the Principal.

One Governor, casting aside doubts that some had had about the Princi­ pal’s ability to deal effectively with the Québec government, said, “David Johnston has proven that a tactic of constructive negotiation with the Government [over the funding for­ mula] can be effective...he has done wonderful things for this university.”

There was a general feeling from Governors that a third term for Princi­ pal Johnston would only aid McGill’s chances of playing a positive role in government decisions regarding uni­ versity funding.

Course Evaluations to be compiled New student federation imminent

B Y SHANNON ALDINGER

photos by Linda Miller

The Arts and Science Undergradu­ ate Society (ASUS) distributes course surveys at the end of each semester to allow students toevaluate their courses.

The results are supposed to be pub­ lished to allow students access to some information concerning course con­ tent before the actual time of registra­ tion, but in recent years, no such compilation of student opinionhas been published.

In sharp contrast, many other Cana­ dian universities publ ish course guides which are tremendously popular with and helpful to students. The Anti­ calendar at the University of Toronto

has guided students well for years.

As well as the undergraduate socie­ ties’ surveys, all students are asked to complete a separate course evaluation form from the various departments of the university. The results of these surveys are not published.

Says Jeremy Boal, President of ASUS, “The ASUS evaluation forms are not used to evaluate teachers and classes. They are done to give students access to some course information before they choose their classes.”

The ASUS survey asks questions concerning difficulty o f course mate­ rial, the professor’s teaching ability, the fairness of the method o f evalu­ ation, the usefulness o f labs/confer-

ences (where applicable) and the intel­ lectual challenge of the course.

The results of the ASUS question­ naire are tabulated over the summer and are generally bound and published.

Boal explains this process occurred every year until 1984-85.

“It stopped at this time because it wasn’t being done correctly,” he ex­ plains.

“It’s simply a matter of effort. Last year the ASUS committee didn’t give enough support to the two people hired to do the job. This year we made an effort very early in the year to get a committee together.”

The ASUS evaluation forms are no longer distributed to students in the classroom. According to Boal, some departments didn’t approve of ques­ tions concerning professors while other departments thought the undergradu­ ate societies surveys were unneces­ sary alongside their own departmental surveys.

Boal says a new goal of ASUS is to distribute course outlines for each course to all arts and science under­ graduate students before they register.

“W e’re not sure how they will be distributed yet, possibly by mailing,” says Boal.

Because of the departmental evalu­ ation forms, many undergraduate so­ cieties, such as the Management Un­ dergraduate Society (MUS), the Edu­ cation Undergraduate Society, and the Engineering Undergraduate Society, do not circulate their own question­ naire.

“We (MUS) don’t feel we need two different surveys that ask the same questions. We feel that students won’t take the evaluations seriously if they are forced to write too many,’’explains Martin Boucher, President of MUS. Boucher admits that the results of the departmental survey are not easily available to students presently, but that he’d like to see this degree of privacy removed.

“W e’re working hand in hand with the management administration to have the survey results available to students in the future. Our Dean is receptive to that,” says Boucher.

Boucher says he hopes the new policy can be put into effect either later this semester or next fall. With some luck and hard work on the part of de­ partmental undergraduate societies, students may soon see the results of all of “those damn course evaluations.”

B Y R O B E R T ST E IN E R A fledgling federation o f Quebec university students may soon replace the Association Nationale des Etudiant(e)s du Québec (ANEEQ) as the province’s largest student lobby, according to campus leaders at two Montreal universities.

McGill student Society President Nancy Côté said on Thursday that leaders on hercampus would work to build the Federation des Etudiants du Québec (FEQ). Student leaders at Université Laval, the Université de Montréal, Concordia, Bishop’s and the University o f Sherbrooke also support the plan, she added.

“ANEEQ’s university membership is tenuous,” she explained.

“I t has basical ly been a CEGEP or­ ganization.”

Université de Montréal student ex­ ecutive Maryse Potvin added that Quebec university students are "fed up with ANEEQ’s strikes, negative attitudes and pretentions.”

ANEEQ represents students atmost o f the province’s CEGEPs. Student bodies at Concordia University, UQAM and the University o f Sher­ brooke also belong to the organiza­ tion.

But, Potvin said, the failure of ANEEQ’s two-week strike in No­ vember to change the Liberal govern­ ment’s policies on student loans and bursaries may have cost the associa­ tion support among Concordia and Sherbrooke leaders. However, Con­ cordia Student Présidait Andrew Madsen expressed reservations, call­ ing FEQ an ‘unfinished’ organiza­ tion.

“There's concern here that FEQ is so new”, he explained. "It will have to do some more defining.”

O lW

Madsen said that his campus would not have to leave ANNEQ to join the new organization.

It was the possible loss o f support, combined with new demands by stu­ dents at smaller universities to have their voices heard in the loans de­ bate, which brought student leaders from Quebec’s six largest universi­ ties to a meeting at McGill in Sep­ tember.

The six universities represented at the meeting were already members o f CET1Q, a coalition to demand loans for students wishing to buy computers.

Côté recalled a consensus among delegates at the McGill talks that ANEEQ’s tactics were “not the proper way to deal with the govern­ ment’’.

“We all felt that there were other means Québec students would pre­ fer to use in seeking a better loans and bursary system,” she explained.

“ANEEQ’s strike definitely ral­ lied most universities here around the idea o f a ne w organization.”

Potvin said she was confident that FEQ’s “federative natine” would calm fears that smaller campuses would be at the mercy o f larger uni­ versity bodies.

"A federation puts more power in the hands o f its members than in its central committee," she said, explain­ ing that smaller universities recog­ nize the need to work with larger ones in order to be heard in Québec City.

“It’s not a question o f any power trip, but o f different resources.”

But ANEEQ spokesman Stéphane Lessard said FEQ would not threaten his organization’s control o f student politics in Quebec.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday January 10,1989

COM M ENT: Food for thoughtful holidays Every Christmas and New Year’s Eve, families all over the world get together, not to celebrate the birth of the Messiah and everything that he repre­ sents, but to gorge themselves on Christmas cake, candies, squares, cookies, roast beast, and the infamous who hash. Is it any wonder that people start starving themselves a month and a half before Christmas? Not so curiously, late December has the lowest bathroom scale sales rate of any month of the year.

The first thing to get passed around a living room is the ubiquitious box of chocolates.

The person opening it treats it as monumental event, because ,ln our family anyway, chocolates are sacred and are reserved for only the most special of occa­ sions. (None of these healthy nuts either- we opt for maximum sucrose for our consumer dollar.)

For adults leaving the office

behind in search of holiday relaxation, whether or not the occasion warrents opening the chocolates may be the most taxing decision they make all Christmas.

Regardless of what the holi­ days mean to us religiously, they are, for all intents and purposes, a time to party. It is sadly ironic, however, that we vivaciously celebrate a holiday that stresses good will and generosity to all men and women by increasing our level of decadence.

As the ‘first world’ , we have the capacity to lean forward and try to distribute some of the world’s wealth evenly , instead of leaning back in our chairs deciding whether or not to eat the chocolates. The world is in our hands, and it is our responsibil­ ity.

Representing students ?

To the Tribune,

Thank you for your lengthy cov­ erage of the discussion on accessi­ bility of education in Quebec (Tribune, 11/29/88, page 4).It’s good to see the Trib covering is­ sues that don’t necessarily pertain just to McGill, beer and sports.

There are a few things to point out however, about the story you ran. If tuition were doubled, not raised to the national average (an increase of about 250 per cent) as you wrote, 35 per cent of students would either drop out or drop down to part time studies. This statistic says nothing of those who could noteven consider paying that much.

You ask how McGill can still be competitive with Harvard, Yale, etc. without a tuition fee hike. Well, for starters, we can start paying like Harvard students do, like more than $ 10,000(US) per year. And in fact, if we wanted to make up for even just the last eight years of neglect we’d have to make a start of the slow climb to five digit tui­ tion. We would have to come up with about 300 million to put into Quebec’s $1 billion university budget Quebec university student pro­ vide about 9 per cent of that now, say $100 million. Assuming we care — and SSMU cares, at least on paper— about accessibility, we want to dump half of that extra money into financial aid to main­ tain ‘accessible’ education. So you are looking at a student contribupage 4

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday January 10, 1989

Speaking out against sexual assault f K A T E M O R ISSE T The Coalition Against Sexual Asilt is ardently preparing for a Sexual sault Awareness Campaign planned ■the week of January 30 to February i.

The Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC), omen in Law, the Women’s Union, gal Aid, the Women’s Rugby team >ng withnumerous individualsmake

up the Coalition, which boasts a membershipof about lOOpeople. “And that doesn’t include the members of the groups who do not attend meet­ ings”, explained Lisa Hardin, Coali­ tion member and Women’s Union Coordinator.

The Coalition is focusing all its energy toward the up-coming cam­ paign which, Hardin says “ is hoping to give women the chance to empower

themselves.”

A forum on the politics o f rape, films, discussion groups and various lectures are being organized to bring to light the various aspects of sexual assault. Included is a ‘survivors speakout’, where the victims of sexual as­ sault can talk about their experiences.

This week is being planned not only with McGill students in mind, but for the community at large.

The Coalition members have plans to organize a sexual assault prevention and support centre as well as smaller support groups which are to commence immediately. Information about the

Ü.V.C. an n ou n ces Vew Y e a r resolu tion s T COLIN SC O TT With the advent of the New Year, V.C. Catering has made its resolu>ns for the upcoming semester. The mpany, which provides all the food rvices on the McGill campus, has dared that it is going to try to imove service and its relations with the cGill public. The changes to be inxhiced are small, for the most port, id will occur in a variety of areas, owever, it is hoped that with their lplementation, students will notice iproved and smoother service.

Perhaps the most significant change at C.V.C. is making is not a modifition in service, but rather a new ogram designed to help improve come and ultimately, to benefit stu­ nts. C.V.C. has developed a can­ cycling program throughout the camis that, if successful, will aid not only emselves, but also local charity oups. White recycling boxes, along th green and white information signs, ve been placed by the vending achines in the Union Building and in e eight satellite cafeterias around the mpus.

The C.V.C. will be responsible for eking up the cans and redeeming em for their deposit value. The marity of the income from this program 11 go to C.V.C. itself, but the money ised from collections made from anagementbuildings will be donated charity.

The success of the program obviisly depends on the cooperation of cGill students. Amanda Kalhok, V.P. temal for the Student’s Society, was itimistic about the idea as the Society ill also gain income from the profits nerated. It is hoped that students will Ip all they can (pardon the pun) and at they will realize that the collection >xes are not for garbage, but only for tpcans. As Amanda says, “Just cans ease!”

made by the C.V.C. directly affect the service that students will receive. At the present time, many students are un­ happy with the service in places such as the Alley. As a result, C.V.C. has decided to double the number of serv­ ing staff working in the Alley during the lunch rush to provide faster and more efficient service. In addition to this, the south-side cafeteria in the Union Building, will now remain open until 2:30 p.m. between Monday and Thursday. C.V.C. is willing to increase the hours further if there is a demand for i t For those studybugs with an appe­ tite, the Redpath cafeteria will now be open on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as of January 21. Finally,

“This is not intended to be a closed in campaign”, commented Hardin,”We would like to get the Montreal com­ munity involved as well. It is an issue which we must deal with together.”

There will be several lunch time dis­ cussion groups organized around the positive aspects of empowering women such as “dating, heterosexuality, mas­ turbation, etc.”

students are advised to watch for new monthly smorgasbord specials in the Union cafeteria. All of these changes have been made with students in mind as the C.V.C. relies on their patronage for survival.

groups will soon appear in the campus media.

“We are also planning a library walkhome program which is to start in February”, said Hardin,” During the campaign we will be circulating ques­ tionnaires asking people what kind of service is needed.”

“Right now we are focussing on avenues of political action for women and peer support as being vital ele­ ments of the campaign”, stated Hardin.

It all hinges on volunteers. Hardin hopes to attract many volunteers at the recruiting meeting today (Tuesday) at 6pm in Leacock 13.

... m ore feq continued from page 3 “None of the universities talking about this new federation have ever proposed any tactics which would be more successful than ours have been,” he said, adding that executives at the six founding universities speak of FEQ without mandates from their students.

In addition to all of this, C.V.C. is helping out with the Winter Carnival by donating $600 for T-shirts and they have a deal with Labatt’s to sell draft beer for $1.25 in Gert’s for Carnival week.

“No one is permitting any debate about this issue to take place within the individual universities.”

“The plan for a new organization is grounded in the phobias o f some ex­ ecutives who say ANEEQ doesn’t represent students.”

Hoffman persuasive, Cruise worthy B Y SA R A H JO H N S O N

The buddy story gets a new twist in R a i n m a n , a serious comedy di­ rected by Barry Levinson. R a i n m a n explores the relationship of two brothers, Charlie and Raymond Babbitt (Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman), both unable to communi­ cate their emotions, but for very different reasons.

Charlie is a smooth talking sales­ man dealing high priced cars with mysterious origins. Surface charm aside, he is belligerent and insensi­ tive, as is deftly illustrated in the opening scenes with his employees and long-suffering girlfriend (Val­ eria Golino). Charlie hides his diffi­ culty expressing his feelings behind a wall of hostility. For this, he blames his father, whom he can never for­ give for not loving him enough. So it is hardly surprising that he is furious when he finds out that the family fortunes have been left to a brother of whom he has never heard.

This brother is Raymond, an au­ tistic savant who has been institu­ tionalized for the past twenty years.

Unable to connect with the people around him, he lives bound by ritu­ als which protect him against the frightening outside world he cannot comprehend. Although he cannot function in society, he is a mathe­ matical genius with a talent forpoker.

Describing Dustin Hoffman as a brilliant actor has long been a cliché, but he demonstrates his ability yet again in a performance bound to gamer him an Oscar. His task is made doubly difficult since his char­ acter does not make eye contact, thus taking away one of the actor’s most necessary tools of expression.

Instead, a monotonous voice and stiffly erect body subtly convey Ray­ mond’s inability to show his feel­ ings. Hoffman is so persuasive that is hard to believe that he is acting.

However, despite his outstanding performance, his character primar­ ily functions as a vehicle for Char­

lie’s epiphany, as it is dynamically elucidated by Tom Cruise.

Those who still insist that Tom Cruise cannot act will soon be in the minority because he proves cogently that he can with this work. His char­ acter’s initial loathing is demon­ strated with an intensity that is un­ pleasant to watch, yet he allows Charlie’s gradual self-discovery to unfold with authenticity. Cruise shows beyond doubt that he is wor­ thy of appearing beside Dustin Hoffman.

Nevertheless, without the frame­ work of the screenplay, neither of their performances would have been possible. The complexity of the characters allows the actors plenty of scope for their interpretations. At the same time, the movie avoids fac­ ile solutions and explanations which would allow the story to descend into a standard Hollywood happy ending both heart-warming and life affirming. Nor is Raymond’s condi­ tion treated with undue reverence.

The film acknowledges that his behaviour can be both amusing and irritating, particularly to someone of Charlie’s temperament, without denying the pathos of Raymond’s situation.

Although some elements of the plot are rather melodramatic, they are made plausible within the story ’ s premise. However, occasionally, logic is precluded when it is incon­ venient to the plot. For example, al­ though Charlie’s transformation is entirely believable, it seems unlikely that it would take place within the time frame of a week. The story is also sometimes marred by awkward, unnecessary explanations inserted tojustify a character’s actions. How­ ever, despite these few flaws, two stellar performances t t a k & R a i n m a n an absorbing, extremely funny movie that is emphatically worth seeing.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday January 10, 1989

Helping others to help themselves In a recent Psychology Today ar­ ticle about volunteer work, Psycholo­ gist Ja a k Panksepp said that endor­ phins, the body's natural pain-reduc­ ing chemicals, also produce the good feelings that come with social contact.

Good ne ws for couch potatoes .You don’t need to sweat to smile.

If your New Year’s Resolution is to use free time more constructively ( a common student vow) or to stop say­ ing you want to help others and actually do it, there are a variety of associations and needy people who would not only appreciate the help, but are in dire need of it.

What volunteer work gives the worker in return is the satisfaction that he/she is doing something that is really making a difference, and also provides diversion from monotony - schoolwork in particular.

The Psychology Today article em­ phasizes the boost to a volunteer’s health and self esteem. So, as a pos­ sible cure to the post holiday/ back to school blues, helping others to help themselves might be the answer. People experiencing periods of depression can alleviate these feelings by getting involved with others who need them.

Kelly-Ann Beaton, a part-time McGill student who has also com­ pleted a B.A. Honours in Economics, hosts a CKUT radio show concerning housing issues and tenants’ rights.

Into an already hectic schedule she has

packed volunteer work for several social service organizations, the most recent being Arnold Bennett’s Ten­ ants’ Rights Advice Walk-In centre.

Stephen Young, a full-time Engi­ neering student at McGill, is in charge of the McGill Volunteer Bureau and has a very supportive staff of twelve.

Young calls MVB a ‘referral service’.

“It is there to actively bring aware­ ness of people’s needs to the student body. Anywhere you go there are people in need.” Stephen also explained that to draw more student awareness to the MVB, they do not resort solely on posters for publicity, but also arrange events which promote the idea of giv­ ing and volunteering. continued on page 9

Kelly replied,” I want to help other people and to learn from people.” “ It’s rewarding. The nicest thing is when someone turns to you and says thanks. They also say,’ finally I can talk to someone,’ “ she continued.

The Lambda Chi Teeter-Totter-AThon was such an original and profit­ able event that it was featured on the front page o f the G azette . They made 2700$ on the spot and 6000$ in phone pledges.

The Total Workout crowd was also in a charitable mood. While calories were lost, over 500$ was gained for the Gazette Christmas Fund.

Robert Guadagno, who operated the campus-wide food drive, pronounced this year a success and yet stressed that a lot more can be done. “Next year I plan on doing the same thing and I plan on getting all the student associations involved,” he said. This season’s ef­ forts add up to a lot of money, food and good cheer for the donors and recipi­ ents alike. Congratulations to all who participated. Let’s make next year an encore.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday January 10,1989

A n n ih ilatin g y o u r Ig n o ra n ce Been slapped with an unfair grade?

Awarded a pesky and seemingly in­ eradicable J? Ever smiled nervously through what seems vaguely or obvi­ ously like sexual harassment, shrug­ ged it off and hoped it would‘just go away’?

It won’t, but you can do something to get rid o f it. All it takes is being aware o f your student rights and learn­ ing what routes are open to you during a personal or academic conflict.

Between January 23 and 27, Stu­

dent Rights Awareness Week will be providing vast quantities of speakers, phamplets, and other useful sources of information to everyone who follows the signs up to the Union Ballroom.

The curious can listen to talks on plagerism and cheating, the Discipline and Grievance Committee, Legal Aid, sexual harassment, the J policy, the role of security at Union functions, and other topics relevant to student life.

The Ombudsperson will also be there to elaborate on her role as “mediator” between students and the impenetrable beuracracy. ( not so impenetrable after

... more volunteers continued from page 8 The most recent operation was the Christmas Food Drive, which was very successful.

There are also practical advantages to doing volunteer work. Students often have a hard time finding parttime work, yet gaining experience is an important prerequisite for any job search. Volunteer work makes a real contribution to a resumé. Often, work acquired through volunteer organiza­ tions gives firsthand experience in fields which may pertain to the stu­ dent’s area of study. For example, all of M cGill’s social work students must do three different placements during their studies at some of the social serv­ ice organizations in the Montreal area.

Rebecca Wood, a first year law student at McGill, who has also com­ pleted her B.S.W . at McGill and her M.S.W. at Université de Montreal, says that upon graduating many of the so­ cial work students are able to seek employment at one o f the organiza­ tions where they had previously vol­ unteered. Asked if her work in women’s shelters gave her some insight when studying law, Wood replied, “ I think it’s given me a different approach.

When discussing Criminal Law , talk­

ing about the effects on the criminal after being released, I have more in­ sight into the effects on the criminal’s family.”

Unilingual couch potatoes can also benefit. Rebecca points out that volun­ teer work is a great way to learn French. “ It isn’t as stressful to learn French while volunteering. If you become a companion to an elderly French per­ son, he/she would probably be more than happy to speak French with you once or twice a week during a visit.”

But volunteer work is not to be limited to students with backgrounds in social work. Many charitable or­ ganizations need people with teach­ ing, organizational ability, and lan­ guage skills as well as those with expertise in math, science and litera­ ture. A youth home may simply need someone to meet with a group o f kids for some outdoor activity. The possi­ bilities are endless and are limited only by the volunteer’s willingness to face the challenge and to give the time. It may at first seem a sacrifice, but, as Kelly-Ann Beaton said,” I never felt it was a waste of time.”

T he p h on e num ber o f th e V olunteer B ureau is 398-6819.

all, when approached from the right angle).

Pamphlets will be distributed out­ lining the steps students should take if they have a grievance, explaining the proper hierarchical order of an appeal (the professor and faculty official be­ fore the grievance committee in an academic problem). And, for the so­ cially conscious wall, copies of the Student Charter of Rights will be avail­ able.

Says VP University Affairs Maria B attaglia, who has been working to get the idea off the ground since last year, “a lot of people don’t do anything when they have a grievance simply because they don’t know what to do”.

Battaglia thought that January would be the best month to hold Student Rights awareness week because, with last semester’s grades flooding back, students may need to know the best method of appealing an unfair grade.

The presentations will also contain proliferations of little known facts which may seem inconsequential... until you are in a grievance situation.

For example, Battaglia explains that law students, in fact any student, is allowed to represent a fellow student at a grievance hearing.

To learn further about what to dc when you’re, to steal from the QPIRG slogan, “feeling powerless”, stop by the Union Ballroom between the 23 and the 27. Enlightenment is just a staircase away.

Martlets reverse the tide

BY AARON M A R G O LIS________

After going almost forty days and forty nights without a victory, the McGill Martlets basketball team fi­ nally reversed the tide. The Martlets, led by 22 points from Leah Hayman and 18 from Tina Fasone, inched past the St. Mary’s Huskies 81-77 in the opening game of the Martlet Invita­ tional Game Series. Bonnie Estwick paced St. Mary’s with a game high 27 points.

The real star of the game was McGill forward Keva Glynn who popped 14 points and ripped down 17 rebounds, many of them key offensive bounds.

Coming from the opposite side, Glynn was able to find good position all night

as she made life miserable for the Huskies.

Combined with sterling perform­ ances from key role players Julia Cowans and Sherry Antonishen the Martlets were able to break out of a five game losing slump that had not seen them win since November 28.

The first half featured end to end ac­ tion as both teams got into their run­ ning games early. The lead changed hands at least five times as each team could not establish themselves. Sur­ prisingly, McGill came out playing straight up man to man defence while also coming at the Huskies with a tough zone press.

They didn’t reap the benefits of their tough defence until the second half

when they gradually began to pull away from the less experienced and obvi­ ously tiring Huskies. The Manlets led by as much as twelve points in the second half thanks to some dazzling drives by guard Beth Armstrong. One drive saw Armstrong take the ball the length of the court and end off with a twisting, almost 360 degree lay up.

Fasone, with some deft inside pass­ ing and key foul shooting by Hayman, provided the Martlets with the margin of victory. The only thing that kept the score close were some timely shooting

by Estwick and Kandy Terris of the Huskies.

Next Friday the Martlets begin the second half of their regular season when they take on the Concordia Sting­ ers at Concordia.

M en’s Hockey: “McGill is cur­ rently second in the OUAA east, but we have a good shot at first place,” says the ever pearly Zuckerman. The Redmen will win the first round o f the ‘play offs’ easily and should also triumph over Trois Rivieres, currently ranked #1. The key to the Redmen’s success has been a strong defense.

This includes players such as captain Jamie Kompon who is recovering from mono nucleosis, MikeWells, and Alain Cusson. Cusson’s major contribution in assists serves to rank him as the top scoring defensman. Brian Larkin is a solid player who will probably be voted Rookie of the Year. Forwards Paul Grech and Martin Raymond are also strong players. Raymond is coming back from a collarbone injury: “I ’ve been most impressed with Martin, he’s reached his potential,” he says. Zuck­ erman cites goalie Jamie Reeve who was drafted by the NHL as an impor­ tant aspect of the Redmen’s success.

“He’s a good team leader”. Says Zuck­ erman “If the team plays up to it’s ca­ pabilities, I think we can make the Nationals”.

Women’s Basketball: “It’s been a tough year for the women. They are in a reloading year” says Zuckerman.

Because the Martlets lost many key starters from last year, they are having to rely on Julie Rousseau, Leah Hay­ man andTina Fasone. These three play 99% o f the games without rest which tires them out for the second half.

Rousseau, who is recovering from an injury was recently the top scorer and rebounder in the High Performance Tournament held at McGill. Fasone led the team in scoring 11 times in the first 15 games, and has the potential to be All-Canadian. The team has a lot of youth which will help them next year, but for this year, Zuckerman feels the

Martlets could “challenge either Laval or Bishops for second if they stay healthy”.

Men’s Basketball: “Our team is a lot more explosive this year than it’s been in a decade” says Zuckerman.

There are a lot of injured players who are finally returning to play. If McGill beats Concordia in their two games, then they’ll be in first place. Bishops and Carleton will then fight it out for first place.The key player on this ye ar ’s team is David Steiner. “He has poten­ tial to be All-Canadian if he maintains his intensity,” says Zuckerman. Steiner tends to have scoring ups and downs.

Paul Brousseau occasionally comes up with a good game and is currently the leading rebounder. Keep your eyes on rookie Perry Douglas from the Junior National League: “The poten­ tial he shows is incredible “ says Zuck­ erman.

W om en ’ s Sw im m ing: “The women’s team is real strong this year, the strongest it’s been in the history of McGill.” Cynthia Aita, Tracy Darling, Marty Roberts and Jen Lailey are all consistent swimmers on the team. The recent addition of Olym­ pic medal winner Andrea Nugent is a plus for the team. Having a teamate of such caliber helps to raise the team’s expectation level. The women’s swim team is a serious contender against Toronto for the number one position.

Men’s Swimming: The Men’s team is currently in 7th place. Swimmers Jason Meerug, Craig Moeck and Chris Lambert who all specialize in butterfly and freestyle have contributed much to the team’s success.

“They’ll stay in the top 7 and possi­ bly in 5th place if they improve,” says Zuckerman.

So there you have it folks, ’89 in a pearl shelL.place your bets.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday January 10, 1989

P o w d e rd o g s B Y DOWEN H IL “The first time I tried it I thought; this is impossible,” said a close friend of mine, a believer in the newest sect in the skiier’s religion; snowboarding.

“But now,” he noted, “I can’t get enough of it.” It’s true that there are still some old skiing buffs, those who wear tweed and leather helmets, who think of snowboards as a flash in the pan, a novelty which mixes surfing and skiing, however, the meteoric rise o f the sport has made boards standard issue in the skiing world. Races, con­ test and camps are now being set up to accommodate the new frenzy as “powderdogs”, who can be heard to utter such quaint oddities as “ha-wow”, take over the ski resorts. This organi­ zation of snowboarding also gives it sporting legitimacy and slowly eases it into the mainstream, offering broader prospects for it’s future and taking away from it’s impression as a “rene­ gade” sport.

As with any new sport there has

been a proliferation of it’s equipment.

Powder Magazine, that skiier’s guide to the galaxy, has given snowboards a wide range of coverage including a look at the latest boards on the market.

Depending on your level of skill and where you’ll be snowboarding there are, perhaps, several different board­ binding systems you’ll wish to look at.

Some of the very best in snowboards include Avalanche’s Kick which comes with built in binding fasteners. This board is known for it’s versatility and soft construction easily letting the beginner travel his/her way to powderdog status. Like, seriously. Crazy Banana’s Rock-it, a free-styler’s dream, is a lightweight board known for it’s durability. Along the same lines are the Funky Joker and the GNu (what’s new at GNu?) Kinetic, the former utilizing a redesigned tail and blunt tip for maneuverability and the Kinetic designed as a tighter, high speed model for optimum kick-ass turning ability.

The advertizing campaign utilized

by most companies manufacturing boards stresses the idea that skiiers turning on to the snowboard will be swept away by it’s wave. An ad by Gyrator, which pictures an ancient farmer lingering over his barnyard fence, is captioned “Buddy hasn’t been back to the farm since he got his Gyra­ tor.”

“There’s just so much you can do with aboard,” said apowderdog friend, “you keep getting better and better, finding out some really freaky new things every time you ski.” Snow­ boarding, despite it’s image as a reck­ less lark, must be approached with dedication, for as any former beginner will admit, it is far more difficult than skiing at the outset.

Anewvitalityhas reached the slopes.

As the aging skiier, utilizing the an­ cient bi-pedal form of motion, slips back to the lodge, his counterpart, the powderdog, will be hotdogging his way to greatness.

R ed m en b e a t R ed m en B Y DEAN G E M M E L L The McGill Redmen hockey team continued its strong play during the holidays and this past weekend, turn­ ing in a strong performance in a postChristmas tournament in Calgary and crushing the RMC Redmen 17-1 on Saturday night. The Redmen now hold a 12-4-1 record overall with a 92-1 record in OUAA play.

At the Molson Invitational tourna­ ment in Calgary, our hockey lads re­ bounded from a disappointing first round loss to the University of Sas­ katchewan to go on and topple the top ranked team in the country, the Uni­ versity of Calgary Dinosaurs. They finished the tournament with a 6-4 victory over the defending CIAU cham­ pions, the York Yeomen. Paul Grech

scored both the tying and winning goals against Calgary, netting the winner in overtime, as the Redmen took this 8-7 thriller. Martin Raymond had four goals in the Cowtown tourney, while Tim Iannone picked up seven points on three goals and four assists in the three games. The Redmen now enter the second half of the season ranked seventh in the country, while holding down second place in the OUAA East behind Trois-Rivieres.

McGill entertained RMC on the weekend, and the military men were certainly gracious guests, as the Redmen crushed these unlikely warri­ ors by a score of 17-1. That’s right folks, this is not a misprint, as our Redmen were much better than their Redmen(military men are not supposed

to be creative or original). This was the most goals ever scored by a McGill squad against another university team.

Tim Iannone had two goals and three assists, moving into second place on the McGill all-time scoring list with 103 goals, and edging closer to Russ McConnell’s record of 116. Mario Debenedictis had two goals and four assists and Marc Lajeunesse added a hat trick. As for the rest of the scoring, forget i t , as a recap of the stats sheet in a 17-1 rout would not be suitable for a paper as eclectic or entertaining as the McGill Tribune.

The Redmen face the Concordia Stingers tonight in a game that many insiders believe will decide second place in the OUAA East. Faceoff is at 7:30 against our bitter crosstown ri­ vals so be there, you powderdogs.

BY HEATHER MITCHELL There was a good deal of sports action over the Christmas ‘holi­ days’ . In basketball, the Redmen lost a close game to the Laurcntian Voyageurs (84-85) on December 2. They then went on to beat the Voyageurs (77-66) at the Wcsmen Invitational in Winnipeg. The two other games played in the tourna­ ment were a disappointment to the Redmen, losing to the 9th ranked Calgary Dmausaurs (72-99) and theSaskatchewah Huskies (89-93).

Strong performances were from reserve swing guard Ariel Franco and Ail-Canadian candidate, David Steiner. Their last game was a win against Queens (97-78) on January

5,1989. Their next game is against the 7th ranked Toronto Blues on January 13. U will be broadcast on CKLJT 90.3.

The Women’s basketball team was also active last month. They ended the year with a 58-59 loss in overtime to the University of Ver­ mont. Second year forward, Julie Rousseau was top scorer and rebounder. The High Performance Tournament which was hosted by McGill was also a disappointment to the team as they lost all three games: 51-68 vs the UPEI Pan­ thers , 58-76 vs Manitoba and 5263 vs Lethbridge. Once again Rousseau was top scorer and rebounder in all three games: Leah

Dayman tied with Rousseau as top scorer in the game against UPEI. Third year guard Tina Fasone who averages 18.7 points per game was named the Molson Cup “ Player of the Month" for November.

The Redmen Hockey Team unv­ eiled to Calgary to compete in the Molson Invitational Tournament held December 28-30. The team lost to the Saskatchewan Huskies (2-5) and won their game against the York Yeomen (6-4). However the greatest upset was against the #1 ranked Calgary Dinosaurs (8-7 in overtime). Kudos to Mario De Benedictis who was awarded the Molson Cup for the month of No­ vember. The next game is January 10 at Concordia.
