Québec student groups get busy over weekend

BY PAUL M ICHELL

This past weekend wa; a busy one for student activists, with ANEEQ (As­ sociation nationale des étudiantes et étudiants du Québec) holding a stu­ dent conference at Concordia, and the newly-founded FEEQ (Federation des étudiantes et étudiants du Québec) pushing through with a “Constituent Assembly” at the University of Sher­ brooke.

The FEEQ meeting did not succeed in approving a constitution, according to SSMU (Students’ Society of McGill ^ University) External Affairs Coordi- § nator John Fox. The meeting on S atur- jg day “was taking so long because so ,2? many of the representatives wanted to ^ get in on the action.” Student represen- -5 tativesfrom FEEQ“founding”univcrsities such as Laval University, Uni-^j versity of Montréal and McGill were ^ joined by others from UQTR, Ri- ^ mouski, Abitibi-Tcmiscaminguc, and o Polytecnique.

“A lot of amendments were brought forward, especially by the smaller schools, so we made slow progress.

Still, it was very positive,” said Fox. E specially d ifficu lt was the constitutional section on weighted voting, which aroused some discus­ sion on the part of the smaller univer­ sities.

“Schools like Abitibi are worried about getting swamped by the bigger schools like Laval or Montréal. But we

were able to come to an agreement,” Fox stated.

Some substantive amendments were made to the constitution. A clause prohibiting FEEQ members from be­ longing to other Québec student or­ ganizations was eliminated, so that conceivably a FEEQ member could also be a member of ANEEQ. “That would be unlikely, though. If you’re already paying $18,000 or whatever for one [student federation], I doubt that you would join the other

one,” said Fox. Because the meeting did not finish approving the FEEQ constitution, another meeting has been scheduled for the weekend of March 11 and 12 here at McGill. Fox is confident that the constitution will pass with few difficulties.

At the sparsely-attended ANEEQ session at Concordia, delegates de­ bated various issues of concern to the ‘Québec student movement.’ The conference was “purely informa­

tional” according to one participant, and served only as a think-tank for ideas.

“What’s important for us at a meeting like this is to have access to new docu­ mentation and share our views with other universities, because the univer­ sity experience in Québec is not all the same,” said Charles Benoit, General Director of AGEUQAM (Association générale des étudiant(e)s de l ’Univer­ sité du Québec à Montréal).

“Problems are different in each uni­ versity, but there are fundamental simi­ larities - lack of resources, contradic­ tions between teaching and research, and so on,” claimed Benoit.

“There’s a temptation for Québec uni­ versities to say whatever they want,

Kissing Students’ Society goodbye B Y D EBO RA H RO SEN BERG

In the continuing battle between the Post Graduate Student Society (PGSS) and the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU), the SSMU has refused to release the postgraduate students from its membership. Nancy Côté, the President of the SSMU, in­ sists that the Society is ameeting place where many different interests can be satisfied. Lee Iverson, President of the PGSS, feels that postgraduate inter­ ests are not being met and has called for complete autonomy.

Last Tuesday, the SSMU approved a referendum to decide on two amend­ ments concerning graduate students.

The first amendment proposes to lower graduate fees to 61% of full-time undergraduate fees, instead of the 72% they pay now. The second amendment calls for increased representation in faculties where graduates make up more than 20% of the students. Cur­ rently, there are three graduate stu­ dents in the Council, but next year there will be five. If this amendment is passed in the campus-wide referen­ dum, at least one more seat (for the Faculty of Education) will be added.

“What’s going on right now, I think, is that Students’ Society’s getting scared [of the PGSS referendum]”, said Iverson. However, he feels that S SM U ’s proposed changes are too little too late, and that the SSMU can not properlysupportgraduatestudent inter­ ests. According to Iverson, PGSS se­ cession from the SSMU would not only better serve the graduate students, but would also increase the degree of cooperation between graduate and undergraduate students.

Iverson talked to the Tribune, about what he believes to be the central is­ sues that graduate students need ad­ dressed. First, the undergraduates and graduates are each frequently inter­ ested in issues that are irrelevant to the other group. When undergraduates and graduates have conflicting interests, the undergraduates always outnumber the graduates and thus get the majority of votes. Also, Iverson claims gradu­ ate students don’t get nearly as much use as undergraduates out of the stu­ dent fees they have to pay. According to a survey conducted two years ago, the graduates use approximately $40,000 worth of services, yet pay

$120,000 yearly to SSM U .. As a re­ sult, they do not feel that they should pay the same fees as undergraduates.

Iverson feels that the bulk of serv­ ices used by graduate students are “pay per use” services, such as Gcrt’s or Sadie’s, andnot services which arc only subsidized through student’s fees. Iverson is unhappy with present SSMU reform proposals, calling them “cosmetic variations” of older ones.

On the new Graduate fee funding formula, he claims that “It doesn’t take any consideration of the actual cost of providing services into account...[or] what services graduate students use and what the cost of providing these things is.”

The only way the PGSS can offi­ cially get out of the SSMU is go through the Executive Committee, get approval from the Senate and get a majority in a referendum from the student body. However, the Execu­ tive Committee has thus far refused to discuss the PGSS’s desire to cccede, claiming it is unnecessary and will set a bad precedent. “They absolutely don’t want to let us out”, Iverson said.

From February 21 to March 14, the PGSS intends to conduct a referendum of its own, asking full-time McGill graduate students by way of mail-in ballots if they want to secede. If more than half of the graduates say they want to secede, Iverson believes that the SSMU will finally give the graduate students’ problem some serious consid­ eration.

When asked what improvents the SSMU could make for graduate stu­ dents if they still refuse to let PGSS cecede, Iverson suggested that the PGSS be allowed to negotiate the transfer of funds from the their faculty to the SSMU, subject to réévaluation every three years.

He proposed that the Vice President of University Affairs be split into Vice President for Undergraduates and Vice President for Graduate students, with separate elections for each group of students.

When the Post Graduate referendum and the SSMU referendum are voted on, the issue will move one step closer to resolution. Iverson is confident of vic­ tory: “What’s going on right now, I think, is that the Students’ Society is getting scared.”

whenever they want. This [the confer­ ence] gives us thechance to synthesize our respective views, to look beyond our local problems,” said Martin Ouellet, a Director of the Université du Québec.

ANEEQ members did not feel very concerned by the rise of FEEQ as a new force on the Québec student scene.

“FEEQ, it’s nothing new, it’s in the same mould as RAEU and other stu­ dent assemblies which never had names. FEEQ has just formed in re­ sponse to ANEEQ. On tuition fees, they are not all united, and ANEEQ will continue to set the agenda of the Québec student movement,” said Benoit.

Côté told the Tribune that the weekly service was called off by the Students Federation at Ottawa University (SFOU), which handled the logistics of the service, after it discovered that Laidlaw, the bus company used by the SFOU, could not pick up new passen­ gers here in Québec without the li­ cence.

A similar Montréal Shuttle B us serv­ ice is offered by the SFOU to its stu­ dents. In the past, the buses used for these runs returned empty to Ottawa each Friday and came up to Montréal empty each Sunday. The new service to McGill students, in addition to of­ fering an inexpensive trip to Ottawa, was to help the SFOU to break even on their service.

“It’s unfortunate”, said Côté. “It was such a good opportunity and it fell through.”

She says the SFOU is not presently able to make the expendi hire needed to switch bus companies, and that it would be impossible for the SSMU to make its own arrangements at this point in the year. She hopes, nonetheless, that the possibility of re-establishing the service will be looked at this summer.

Prices for the Friday evening ?nd Sunday afternoon runs were to be $10 one way and $16 return for students.

To take a Voyageur Bus Lines bus at the same time of the week costs $16 each way.

Anyone can still take the shuttle bus from Ottawa to Montréal, leaving the U of O Unicentre Sundays at 15h30; it was only the Friday Montréal to Ot­ tawa run that broke the Québec licence regulations.

Sadie’s manager Dawn Bonncll told the Tribune that no tickets for subse­ quent bus runs had been sold when the service was cancelled.

SSMU to purchase van for physically disabled

to get in,” explained Vida Magajna, SSMUrcpresentative to Access McGill (an SSMU committee for the disabled students) and member of the Joint Committee on the Disabled.

“Our goal [on the Joint Committee] is primarily to make McGill more ac­ cessible for physically disabled stu­ dents,” said Magajna.

Mebbie Aikens, Coordinator of the Disabled Student Information Service said the van will help not only wheel­ chair-bound students, but also students with a number of other disabilities.

“Students in wheelchairs won’t be the only ones who will benefit. I have students who are blind, or who have cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis,

SSMU’s Joint Committee on the Disabled and the Physical Plant are striking a deal to improve McGill’s ac­ cessibility for disabled students.

The Joint Committee on the Dis­ abled plans to invest approximately $30 000 to buy a van which will transport one wheelchair and two additional passengers. The Physical Plant intends to finance the cost of gasoline and a driver.

“We want to buy a van that is able to carry one wheelchair and two passen­ gers and that has a hydraulic lift. With the lift, both paraplegics and quadraplegics in wheelchairs would be able

smaller holidays can barely muster up a mall appearance by the GovernorGeneral. I for one won’t rest until all holidays are celebrated with an equally insane amount of intensity and media glut. Hell, the possibilities of a school break for all of Ramadan alone are stupifying. Plus, just imagine the spe­ cial feeling you and your family would have gathering around the television set to watch A Perry Como Arbour Day or The Cosbys Celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Hopefully, a future of such fair and unbiased revelry is not yet beyond reach -1understand the people at Hallmark are preparing a Ground­ hog Day card.

• Montréal, with its old and time­ worn locales like Nôtre Dame, the splendour of new constructions like the church-cum-office building at Uni­ versity and Ste. Catherine, and, of course, the/aicc-ant colony functional style of our own McConnell Hall, can almost dull us with its quantity of beautiful architecture. That's why it takes a tasteless greedhead like Garth Drabinsky to remind us why we don ’t live in Toronto. If you want to know what it’s like to have been dead for 3000 years, pay a visit to the new Égyptien movie theatre downtown.

This lovely place painstakingly and for no conceivable reason reproduces the look and feel of an ancient Egyp­ tian crypt - only, as always chez Cineplex-Odeon, in pastel colours. King Tut is alive, and he’s now showing Deepstar Six. Stay tuned...

P.S: Oh, I almost forgot: I ’d like to wish all of you out there a great study break next week—oops! Never mind.

Crazy times. I saw a man walking the streets this week, mumbling some­ thing about David Brinkley killing his dog. Kitty Dukakis, wife of Mr. Self-Control himself, is becoming her nation’s foremost expert on drug and alcohol addiction. The world of aca­ demic publishing lost the ever-cool Barbara Tuchman last week, but Ro­ land Barthes pains us all by remain­ ing inexplicably alive. C’mon, Ro­ land, let’s go already: after all, Fou­ cault did it.

Meanwhile, Canada settles into its usual freakish winter. George Bush came up for the weekend for what he called a “working visit” with MuIroney, kind of a travelling oxymoronic roadshow. So if you thought there was a wind blowing through here last Saturday, that was a typo - it was actually a wimp.

• It’s not like I have anything against Valentine’s Day. Diligently I order my roses, romantically I wander around campus all day in a haze of mushiness and deep affection for all the loved ones in my life, with honey dripping from my tongue I wish a wonderful and very nice day on the multitudes of beautiful souls I en­ counter during the day, I walk home with a smile on my face, and later that night I get violently sick to my stom­ ach. All in all, a sweet and special day, like being beaten up by thou­ sands of little Cupids.

Still, a true egalitarian must occa­ sionally wonder why we value some holidays, like Valentine’s Day and Christmas, so highly, when other

interested in the service.

“I assume the students’ schedules will be arranged to serve as many students as they can. I doubt that there will be any sort of selection process as to who can use the service and who can’t,” said Battaglia.

Neither Magajna nor Battaglia are certain about the number of physically handicapped students presently attend­ ing McGill, but both estimate that there are approximately seven or eight. Both Battaglia andMagajna blame McGill’s poor accessibility for this low number but predict that improved services would raise the present number.

“The problem (with estimating the

who are having some trouble getting around the campus. The van will be a great service to them as well,” says Aikens.

To improve McGill’s accessibility, students voted in favour of a tempo­ rary fee increase of two dollars per student per semester to last two years.

The referendum was held in March 1988 with the aid of Access McGill.

The money is to be allocated and dis­ tributed by the Joint Committee on the Disabled.

Maria Battaglia, SSMU VP Univer­ sity Affairs, speculated that the service would work on a form of rotating schedule to accommodate the students

“I guarantee that the number will in­ crease drastically (with the implemen­ tation of this service). Getting to the university campus should be a stu­ dent’s own responsibility, but once he/ she gets here, access should be avail­ able. That’s our (the university’s) re­ sponsibility,” added Magajna.

Aikens claimed that McGill is “al­ ready well over half accessible”. Four or five years ago, the university hired a committee to survey every building to determine the campus’ level of accessibility. Said Aiken, “Most build­ ings are at least partially accessible, if not entirely so.”

But she also admitted that some buildings will never be accesssible due to the age, architecture and layout of the campus.

Neither the date nor the cost of the project is confirmed. The Joint Com­ mittee on the Disabled will make its final decisions concerning these mat­ ters in the near future. The Committee received SSMU approval at the coun­ cil meeting on February 7.

T h e M c G ill

No rest for the weary Under normal circumstances you would not be reading this. Normally there would be no paper this week, there would be no classes, and the campus would be pretty much deserted. Traditionally, or for the past five years or so, this week has been reserved for the study break.

Unfortunately these are not normal times. Due to an unfortunate, and unusual twist of government regulations (thirteen weeks of classes), our schooTs exam policy (four weeks for finals), and some religious holidays (Easter and Passover), we are spending the week staring at chalk boards instead of beaches, ski hills, or various alcoholic beverages.

This does not mean that you should go and do something drastic. Like find the nearest tall building, or the closest gas oven, or, heaven forbid, shave your beard. There arc other ways of dealing with this.

After all, when everything is put into perspective there are only two fewer days off this semester, even though they are not until the 22nd of March. Remember, it was only a few short years ago when there was no study break at all, and when it was introduced the term “study break” was supposed to mean lime to spend in the library. Time to spend catching up on school work, not time to spend in Florida, Stowe, or at home visiting Aunt Martha.

Meanwhile back in the real world, the entire population at McGill has taken the study break in February to be a time in which to cut loose, and free the mind of the things that have caused it to become bogged down.

Little things like school, the weather, or the fact that the Canadiens arc only in second place overall. Even moTe importantly, everyone has begun to believe that it is our right to have a week off for rest and relaxation in February. “We deserve it,” or at least that is what we keep telling our­ selves.

So what can be done? We can either suffer in our own misery, bitching and complaining to anyone who will listen until Easter, hoping that someone will take pity on us. Or everyone can go out and get rid of some steam here in Montréal, and just pretend that it is someplace warm.

Of course if it just absolutely has to be someplace warm there are other options available. Someone could ask the porters to turn up the heat in the buildings for the week, but then again they might not have the air condi dotting to turn it back down again. Or you could take some lawn furniture and sit up in the bleachers at the pool and pretend you're at the beach. And as a last resort, if there is absolutely no other place to go, you could always stop by the Tribune's office and experience real summertime weather.

T rib u n e Publisher

The Students Society of McGill University Editor - in Chief

Kate Morisset Assistant Editor

à louer News Editors The following letter was submitted to the Daily for publication; however since it was not printed the authors requested it should appear here.

D a i l y m isses the point To the Editor of the Daily, The headline in the January 31 issue of the Daily demonstrates once again that it is the Daily that has missed the point. Instead of commenting on the recent Student Rights Awareness Campaign, \heDaily proceeded to not only brush over the entire event, but in addition advance opinions which were irrelevant to the issue at hand, and moreover, gravely misinformed.

The article itself minimally dealt with its stated topic for barely a col­ umn, trivializing the effort and intent manifest in the campaign. Mr. Ha­ yden, the reporter, ignored the entire goal of the campaign, which was to simply inform students of the rights they already possess.Theserights came about as a result of student pressure and concern.

Mr. Hayden misrepresented the facts on SSMU action regarding exam schedules and the “J” grade. The SSMU, through student representatives on the Academic Planning and Poli­ cies Committee, has forwarded cogent and considered proposals to reform the “J” policy ever since it became a contentious issue this past October.

For years, nothing has been done, yet now through the initiative of student government, a solution is likely by March. This is a far cry from the “continued lack of student input” that Mr. Hayden laments. On the contrary, this is a perfect example of how stu­ dents, by exercising their rights, have input into the university decision

making process. These are exactly the rights that our campaign sought to highlight to students.

Last year, student concerns pertain­ ing to examination scheduling were discussed in Senate, and at present is an item on the agenda of the APPC. Although the situation is in need of improvement, Mr. Hayden has not considered fluctuating class en­ rollments and space constraints during the examination period, problems which have delayed aresolutionof this matter. The Daily's article undoubt­ edly perpetuates an image of hostile, unfair, and irresponsible mechanisms to deal with student grievances. These views are without foundation. The Senate Committees on Discipline and Grievances have student representa­ tives. Decisions which the students participate in formulating are binding on the university. Moreover, the man­ date of both the Dean of Students and the Ombudsperson are to advise and aid students in their search for redress.

Unfortunately, representatives of the Daily did not attend the seminars given by Dean Gopnik and Professor Werk during the campaign.

By not reporting an event which dealt with issues affecting each and every student on campus, the Daily has placed into question its own mo­ tives, journalistic objectivity, and integrity.

Why we must leave: Iverson To the Editor, Thank you for timely article on the PGSS’s plan to hold a referendum on grad student membership in Students’ Society. While many of the details of this complicated issue were very well represented by the article, some were not, and it is important to correct these.

Currently a full-time graduate stu­ dent pays 72% of the fees to SSMU that a full-time undergraduate does, not the same amount (as was stated in the article). More important was the claim that this was a referendum on PGSS membership in SSMU. It must be pointed out: the referendum is not about PGSS and SSMU. Currently every grad student at the downtown campus is a member of both SSMU and PGSS. The matter at hand is whether to terminate the membership of all of these graduate students in SSMU. Students’ Society has no mechanism to allow this to happen, aside from going to the entire student body (which they have refused to do at least twice).

The other errors in the article cannot be blamed on the writers. They are contained in the points made by Nancy Côté, the President of SSMU. She has page 4

in the past, made mistakes as far as the history of graduate students and SSMU, but never as substantial as the claim that there is no record of graduate students rejection of amalgamation in 1960. There is no such record in Stu­ dents’ Society’s minutes, forthesimple fact is that SSMU never bothered to ask graduate students how they felt about joining before the proposal was taken to Senate.

However, there is definitely record of the PGSS rejection of the proposal in Senate’s documents. The Senate minutes of 17 February 1960 included a protest registered by the President of the Postgraduate Society and a rebut­ tal by the President of SSMU. Clear from this exchange is that fact that no attempt was made by SSMU to seek a referendum or otherwise informed opinion from the body of graduate students. When a Postgraduate stu­ dents meeting was asked to comment on the proposal it was rejected unani­ mously. The SSMU President them proceeded to argue that the opinions expressed at the meeting and the rejec­ tion were irrelevant; that those gradu­ ate students simply did not understand how good SSMU was going to be for

them. These are matters of historical record, a record which Ms. Côté has been made aware of on numerous occasions. Does denying their exis­ tence make any sense? Do the anti­ democratic opinions expressed by the SSMU President at that time ring bells today?

Ms. Côté also questions whether PGSS already has a mandate to re­ move graduate students form SSMU. In the technical sense which she de­ mands, the answer is no. But again, examine the record. In March of 1987, a PGSS referendum was held asking its membership for a “mandate to negotiate” for graduate student auton­ omy from SSMU. This referendum passed with a 96% majority. While it is true that this does not constitute an absolute mandate to actually termi­ nate grad students’ memberships, it is definitely a mandate to seek terms from SSMU. SSMU represents have steadfastly refused to recognize graduate students ’ right to withdraw and have refused to negotiate these terms. Imagine what the reaction wouldhave been in Québec if the 1980 referendum had passed and the Federal government had refused to

S u ji t C h o u d r y C h a im B e ll N o a h L e v in e U 1 S c ie n c e

negotiate the matter? The claim that PGSS doesn’thavc a mandate not only ignores the fact that it is a legitimate representative body for graduate stu­ dents, it is beside the point; what is really important is that SSMU has consistently refused to respect the right of graduate students to decide.

Finally the claim that best explains the recalcitrance of SSMU representa­ tives: that graduate students are not paying disproportionately large SSMU fees? In the 1986/87 academic year, the PGSS conducted a survey of graduatestudents used SSMU provided serv­ ices far less than undergraduates. But how should this translate into fees? In a simplistic analysis, never properly explained, SSMU concluded that graduate students were not paying too much. This analysis ignored any con­ sideration of the costs of the actual services being considered, or even the cost of SSMU’s political activities.

Graduate students have never agreed with this conclusion.

Is it any wonder that grad students are fed up. When will SSMU respect the legitimate right of graduate stu­ dents to decide their own fate? The indicators are that this will never hap-

Comment: Cuba, a personal odyssey

BY RUARI NICHOLSON________ “Off for a little sun,” I cheerily reported upon being asked why I had picked a country as controversial and dynamic as Cuba for my Christmas vacation. In fact, prior to my experi­ ence with Cuban society, I had thought nothing more of my quickly sched­ uled plans than the hedonistic pleasure to be incurred within. It was only through a conversation with an Ameri­ can friend, who, incidently, is unable to travel to this former U.S. pleasure bastion, that I began to get a feel for the bias towards Cuba. He considered that I must be a closet socialist or,worse, a sufferer of the communist sickness, to visit an “enemy “ of his country.

As Canadians we exhibit a sense of sympathy for a left-wing regime so idealistic and misshapen as the one which Fidel Castro has guided for the last thirty years. In fact, Canada’s rela­ tionship with Cuba has been quite dissimiliar from that of our American counterparts who bugged out in 1959, leaving their vassal state to its own devices.

While American businesses and possessions were expropriated in the wake of the revolution, the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Royal Bank were among the few foreign institutions

compensated. Apart from this, and a fading memory of a former Prime Minister racing through the Cuban countryside in 1976, my notions of Cuba keyed on my own selfishness.

Landing in Cuba, the sense of a generic Communist regime is illustrated point-blank as pistol-toting Castro clones usher you off the Air Canada jet to the customs line. The happy traveler, after a three hour wait, quickly becomes the cranky prisoner of an outdated and bureaucratic customs system. Midnight Express was revis­ ited in my case as I strove to explain my Irish-Canadian citizenship to a clearly exhausted official with an apparent dislike for Irishmen.

Trundled off in a bus at 3:00 a.m., we were brought to our various hotels in the middle of the tourist ghetto of Varadero. This town consists of miles of beautiful beach and tidy modem villas, lacking in any distinct flavour, any Cuban culture. Joseph Treaster wrote recently in The New York TimeJthat “the old vibrancy and gaiety that had been hallmarks of Cuba have given way to a smaller purpose­

lessness.” Certainly this is true if one is to remain in tourist areas, however, a new subdued, yet totally Latin sponta­ neity has taken its place. This is seen in the people’s distinct sense of humour

gone to the moon.

This suggestion of a missing middle class was furthered in the streets of downtown Havana, a haunting mem­ ory of its former capitalist past. Gov­ ernment offices are everywhere, illustating Castro’s crea­ tion of an oversized civil service, but are housed in former houses of the rich, complete with their and decora­ I \ l *** furniture tions. Huge slogans km ? and posters drape over > baroque arcitecture, and love of fun. the strangest of which was of a young Tired of the beach and the German girl with a Soviet rifle who appeared to tourists who hounded my every mo­ be shooting a cow. tion, trying to improve their English, I A particlarly illuminating part of made arrangements to visit Havana, the tour was a stop at a tourist “shop­ seeking out the Cuban people and their ping center” which was located in a culture.

In fact, this incessently.

While it is a well-publicized fact Our young tour guide, who had the that Castro has brought universal endearing habit of asking my brother medicine and literacy to this country, and me whether we thought certain all the while exporting his brand of clothes were in style, described the revolution to such countries as Angola empty mansions as “abondoned to the and Grenada, the Cuban economy has state” suggesting that their owners had floundered. Castro’s very personalized

dictatorship, Cubans refer to him as Fidel, has shifted the economy from a loosening of centralization in the 1960’s to rigid state-controlled econ­ omy which exists at present. Propped up by 3 billion/year loans from the Soviets, the Cubans barely manage to keep their economy from going under.

As was said in arecent article in Satur­ day Night, “the Cubans are only in the third world because they have put themselves there.”

Castro’s brand of personalism, per­ ceived or real, was illustrated when we questioned the tour guide on whynatural gas dereks were situated directly off the coast from tourist areas (leak­ ing fumes into the area) where upon he responded “Yes, Fidel is aware of this and he is considering moving them.”

Images of the fatigue-clad figure of Fidel wading out to sea and pushing them away came to mind, but to a Canadian, the concept of an individual embodying the state is a little hard to fathom, if not stomach. Castro’s latest “notion” is to triple the tourist industry and bring in some hard currency. While this plan seems reasonable, its expan­ sion hinges upon the weakening of other sectors such as the sugar industry.

It is hard to visit Cuba and not make some sort of valuejudgement. Striving merely to fry in the sun on some beach, the Cuban tourist is forced to contem­ plate this bizarre society which seems to be trapped in the 1950’s while Cas­ tro schemes for recuperation. The operation, however, has taken 30years.

BY WAH KEUNG CHAN At this time every year, students, faculty and staff at McGill are asked to identify and nominate candidates for the Scarlet Key Award. For most, the Scarlet Key is the award for recogni­ tion of student leadership and out­ standing contributions to student life.

The Scarlet Key Society in which Key Award winners are automatically members, has been much a part of the student community for many years, and hopefully will in the future play a more active role at McGill.

Presently, Award winners are pre­ sented with a scarlet key shaped lapel pin and are asked to serve as special marshals at the annual university con­ vocation ceremony. For those in your final year, they are the ones in the scarlet robes. This however, is far from the role enjoyed by the Scarlet Key Society for more than forty years.

In 1925, the Scarlet Key Society grew out of a real need when Major D. Stuart Forbes, general manager of athletics at McGill established a sys­ tem whereby representatives of the student body fulfilled the task of meeting and entertaining all visitors to McGill with the utmost consideration and hospitality. It was an honour to serve as official host of the university, and as such popular elections were held to select two or more representa­ tives from each faculty and school at McGill. In all, twenty-nine members were elected with an additional six appointed by the society executives from the athletic clubs. Eventually, the commitment of the Scarlet Key Soci-

The average Canadian creates 3.4 times a year. And the number is consid­ erably lower when the tallies for artistic persons are subtracted- something like 1.7 times a year. Moreover, creative mo­ ments in Canada have decreased signifi­ cantly in the past decade. If creativity were a bus, Canadians would still be lining up for their buspasses.

Statistics aside, a statement like “On the markets today, both technical skill andempirical knowledge closed upseven points, while creativity closed down again, thirty-seven from yesterday’s alltime record low,” suits our society a little to well.

Creatively speaking, we are a starved generation. The fact that our senses are frozen eight months out of the twelve may have something to do with it, but if this were indeed the case, we should all be stocking up on spray cans, leveling the nozzles at the ozone layer, and cheer­ ing for the green-house effect.

Well, according to a recent spray-can poll, we aren’t, and I doubt whether creativity is correlated with living in an arctic tundra.

Then why are we so bare-boned when it comes to blinding flashes of creative

insight? The answer lies partly in the way we have defined creativity.

Creativity: the “magical” process of birth from the unknown to the known; the path from a dark and brooding si­ lence to the brilliance and salient order of a masterpiece, be it a Fifth symphony or an elegant and irrefutable law of physics; the intellectual equivalent of resurrection from the dead ; the means by which we bring into thought what has heretofore eluded us.

Given such an intuitive attitude to­ ward creativity, it is no wonder that a certain mysticism has spun itsel f around the subject for aeons. Yet, it should be noted, that this mysticism fostered crea­ tivity in the past. Whereas today, in keeping with our Western mode of think­ ing (cold, calculated, and mass-pro­ duced), the same mystical attitude smothers the creative process, thereby relegating itto the clandestine studios of struggling artists.

Occasionally though, the word is whispered in the back lounges of Arts Departments or in some inconspicuous writing class, whereupon eager students hurry to produce a work with the shushed echo of that alluring word in mind. However, they have barely

time to savour their preliminary, yet strangely satisfying, attempts before they arc covered up, hidden from the rest of society...with an ‘F’.

These students quickly transfer their hurt pride to another faculty and begin anew their education toward a ‘real’job, preferably a faculty in which the text­ books have been crafted to all but eradi­ cate thinking in their users.

The solution to a creative dearth does not lie in the accumulation of technical skill, with the silent belief that somehow we can make do without creativity.

Technical skill, to adapt a metaphor from an article by Jean Paré, editor of L'Actualité, should not be the sand into which the ‘creatively stifled’ may stick their heads.

All of us have within ourselves a luxuriant ocean of creative energy. The stifled have only to wade knee-deep into their creative seas to discover the many exotic fish darting back and forth just waiting to be plucked. Gradually gain­ ing courage and strength, they can ven­ ture further and still further; until, when completely submerged, they will no longer need to pluck the fish (ideas) from the sea of creativity.

For by that time, they will be swim­ ming with the whales.

ety increased to serving at all university functions, be it at convocations to usher­ ing at Redmen football games.

As the Scarlet Key Society was a male organization, the Red Wing Society, consisting of nine elected members, presidents of the Women’s Union and RVC, and the president of SSMU when appropriate, was formed in the 1938-39 year for women students to fulfill the same commitments. Through the years some highlights as remembered by Keith Ham, lawyer and now President of the Graduates’ Society, included Princess Elizabeth’s visit in the early 1950s and guarding the goal posts after Queen’sMcGill football games. Fred Palmer, B.Arch ’65, recalls “keeping Winter Carnival princesses out of trouble [and] tucking into sumptuous banquet dinners as official representatives of the student body.”

page 6

As the number of university func­ tions grew out of proportion for these already busy students, in the mid and late ’60s both the Scarlet Key Society and the Red Wing Society began to re­ evaluate their commitments and consti­ tutions. Ultimately, this with the high cost of uniforms forced a major restruc­ turing in 1969. With the help of the Graduates’ Society, the new Scarlet Key Society incorporated the Red Wing Society, and was restructured with changes to its obligation, means of se­ lection and numbers awarded while maintaining the honour society objec­ tive. Thus, in 1971 the Scarlet Key Award was introduced with students being nominated, interviewed, selected by their peers and honoured for their campus leadership while maintaining second class average (i.e. satisfactory stand­ ing-)

Recognizing the potential offered by its members, in the last few years, there has been demands from within the membership for the Scarlet Key Society to play a more prominent role at McGill.

As a start, the society helped the Dean of Students welcome students at the two International Students receptions last semester. Revision of their constitution is in progress, and there is interest in charitable work.

This year the Scarlet Key Society wants all members of the McGill com­ munity to be aware of the award, so that all qualified candidates will be nomi­ nated for consideration.

The deadline fo r applications, avail­ able from the Students' Society front desk and Marlet House, is February 24th. A similar award, the Gold Key Award, also exists at MacDonald Campus.

BY COLIN SCOTT Good Moooorning! The unmistakable voice o f Terry DiMonte has just coaxed you and thousands o f other Montrealers from early morning slumber. The mouth behind CIIOM-FM's morning radio show has become notorious for his an­ tics, ranging anywherefrom orchestrat­ ing full eggbealer symphonies to his dailyfeature-informing the public o f the best o f the latest tabloid headlines.

In a recent interview at the CIIOM stud i o , I had a chance to talk with Terry after his exhaustive radio show. The Montreal born native at first appeared high strung, playing desk hockey with a cough drop while at he same time tip­ ping over board room chairs but,when it comes right down to it, Terry is just 'one o f the guys’.

Tribune: What kind of child were you?

DiMonte: I was relatively quiet, be­ lieve it or not. I was really shy. I was a real bad teenager. Nothing real bad, but just real cocky, real Mr. Know-it-all.

Typical teenage scenario.

Tribune: What got you into radio?

DiMonte: I don’t know. It’sjust some­ thing I can always remember being fas­ cinated and/or interested by. My parents have a tape recording of me when I was five reading a mock newscast and they still have it. God knows what a five year old was doing reading a newscast. When I was about eleven I remember every night going to bed with the radio and even when my parents told me to shut it off I’d have it under the covers and I ’d be trying to find out-of-town stations.Thcn I went to watch a guy work and I started to really tweak my interests. I ended up going to watch a guy work at C-FOX. I was iruthe studio for all of four minutes and I just knew. I watched him work and I thought ‘Ah man, this is what I want to do.’

Tribune: What about your social life?

There are hundreds of women who would love to meet the man behind the voice.

DiMonte: There are a lot of people who want to meet you because of what you do and I’m not interested in meeting people like that. I really enjoy meeting people who listen to the program, it’s really neat to have somebody tell you that they enjoy what you do every morn­ ing and that they’re in the shower with you every morning but I don’t have much of a social life these days, I ’ve been so bloody busy. You can only give cither 100% to your career or to your personal life. This bullshit about having it all is bullshit because if you want to try and raise a family and you want to do well at your gig one of them is going to suffer.

Tribune: Do you ever find yourself coming into work in the morning and going ‘What the hell am I doing here at six in the morning’?

DiMonte: Never. I ’m grumpy as all hell and people know to leave me alone between six and six-thirty until I get my bearings and my firstcoffeebecause it’s an unnatural time of the day to be up.

People always say to me, ‘You must be used to it by now’ but I ’m never going to get used to it. Never. If I do this for three more years I’ll never get used to it. But I always look forward to doing the show and to coming in.

Tribune: Tell me some of the interest­ ing things that have happened to you while on the air.

DiMonte: I was doing aprogramcalled ‘Nightlines’ which is a national radio show that comes out of Winnipeg and I knew the producer and he asked me to do some relief for four weeks. It’s coast to coast from Halifax to Victoria and all across the Territories and it’s really in­ timidating. By the fourth week I’d had it pretty much down when the door opened and this woman came in and sat on my lap and started to undress. Ross, my producer, said into my earphones, ‘Don’t say anything or you’ll never work again

here. ’ So I had to try and concentrate on what I was doing while this woman was fondling (me) and taking off her shirt. If you listen to the tape you can hear the quiver in my voice. You can pick ex­ actly the spot where she came in and stripped naked right there. I wasn’t al­ lowed to say a thing. It was hard for me because I like to clue the listener into what’s going on.

Tribune: I f you didn't, go into radio, what would you have wanted to do?

DiMonte: Once I wanted to be a teacher really bad but more than any­ thing I wanted to be a pilot. I still want to be a pilot.

Tribune: What about your relation­ ship with the public?

DiMonte: I think that what we do comes with a certain amount of respon­ sibility to the community. People think people in radio are unapproachable wingnuts or dinks. Some of them are andnothing bugs my ass more than that.

Who the hell is any radio guy to think that just because he’s on the radio he’s better than anyone else? What we do is a job and it's a job that doesn’ t make us more or less important than anyone else in the community.

Tribune: What’s your favorite T.V. show?

DiMonte: The Wonder Years.Tome it’slikewatchinghomemovies. Imean I remember being 14 and finding a copy of 'Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask' and the night that I watched the show where they stole that book and went into the bedroom, closed the door and were bug-eyed looking at this book, I thought ‘Oh God, this isjust like home movies’. It takes me back and I think the show is just brilliant.

Tribune: Can you do Kermit the Frog for me?

DiMonte: Kermit the Frog here...v page 7

You’ve plied the books long enough, you’re sick of Peel Pub and its rude bouncers, and your friends complain of too much homework and too many far-away pubs with lousy music. So you decide to sample two pubs close enough to the ghetto to which you and your bunch may walk with­ out an attack of frostbite. This is what you see - or rather, this is what I see...

Still, Gert’s is usually busy on weekend nights, filled with pa­ trons that love to bop around on the floor. The music leans towards ordinary Top Forty, mixed to­ gether with some variant house tunes taken from the blackleather joints like Foufounes and Thunderdome. The bouncers are basically pretty good about things, not interfering with the general mood and watching people si­ lently.

B Y PA U L HO RW ITZ_________ R olling Stone described their music as “a strange but addictive brew of...sound as intense as a horrific nightmare, beautiful as a heavenly dream, calculated to both endear and offend.” An an­ onymous audience member in Fort Lauderdale referred to lead singer Perry Farrell (p erip h eral, get it?) as “Boy George.” That earned a resounding “Suck my dick” and an ensuing riot. The album cover, a nude sculpture of Farrell’s girlfriend, was banned by several large record retailers in the U .S.. Whichever way you look a t them, Ja n e ’s Addiction and their debut album, Nothing1s Shocking, are, well, shocking.

Ja n e ’s Addiction i s another in a series of bands who have been emerging from the currently booming L.A. music scene, such as Ice-T and Guns ’n Roses. While

N

h o w

e s t

their music is of the hard-driving, annoy-the-neighbours, punk? metal variety, the lyrics show that they are, if anything, ruled by an art-rock sensibility which one might expect from Bauhaus or New Order. The album’s songs are mostly concerned with musings on power, addiction, and society’s jaded attitude towards the images of violence flooding the media.

The album’s first song, Up the Beach, immediately introduces you to the band’s schizophrenic mix of sounds and styles. The song begins with a moderately paced, melodic bass line, which suddenly erupts into a wail of guitars and Farrell’s almost op­ eratic screeching. The band then launches into yet another sus­ tained attack with Ocean Size, in which Farrell declares, a trifle too optimistically, “I want to be/ as deep/as the ocean”. From there the band is off and running, moving chaotically from the speed of H a d a D a d and Idiots R u le to the slower, more free-form Ted,

Ju s t A dm it It and Sum m ertim e Roll. The album’s real highlight is unquestionably J a n e Says, a song about a heroin addict (a former roommate of Farrell’s) who can only keep on saying, without conviction, “I’m gonna kick to­ morrow...”

The band’s biggest flaw is their youth. The music tends to lack a bit of control and the production is a bit muddy, but their real problem is that Farrell frequently lapses into pretentious gibberish.

Still, when they’re on, the band is really on. Ja n e ’s Addiction may not yet be ready to take on the mantle of successor to Led Zeppe­ lin that so many critics have been eager to give them, but N othing’s S h ockin g a t least proves there are still a few bands left who can make noise and still have some­ thing to say.

J a n e ’s A ddiction is P erry F a r ­ rell, vocals; D avid N avarro, g u i­ tars; E ric A., bass, S tephen P erk­ ins, dru m s & percussion. Noth­ ing’s Shocking is a v a ila b le on the W arner Bros, label.

here are some random statements culled from various people: “F irst year, we went to Peel and Gert’s, third year we went to our frat, and this year Annies is more fun now.” “[ Annies ] is a pre-Gert’s stop.” “[ Annies ] is a great place to pick up chicks.” (w riters’note: The person who sa id this w as prom ptly hit fa irly h a rd by his fem ale friends.)

“Rudeness happens more in Gert’s.”

“No cover in Annies.”

“Lineup is too longin Annies on the weekends.”

“Gert’s is dying, isn’t it?”

“There are darts here in An­ nies. It’s good for tension.”

sibly worse than the norm.

Contrast all this with Annie’s, which seems to be more or less what McGill students (at least, those not of the black-leather persuasion) need around town.

Some Concordia and CEGEP students attend occasionally, but the crowd is abou170-80% McGill, with the management trying to increase th at percentage even further. The music is generally the same as Gert’s, with less of an emphasis on the newer songs.

Chicken wings provide the gim­ mick, and the beer is about aver­ age, both in price and in taste.

That’s about all lean safely say about the pubs. Still, there is no shortage of opinion here. Thus,

Admit it. When you were four­ teen, you watched soap operas.

So to prevent the embarassment of actually knowing the names of several Genral Hospital charac­ ters, while still getting a weekly fix of soap, the Tribune enter­ tainment department is proud to bring you the first installm ent of Innocuous Innuendo. 1.1. is the first politically correct, genderneutral, vegetarian, romantic comedy adventure m ystery McGill weekly tabloid soap with­ out ties to South Africa, all printed on recyclable paper.

My job this week is simply to introduce you to the characters.

Every week henceforth, a differ­ ent writer will appear to carry the story onward in his or her own personal direction. To main­ tain a modicum of consistency, the boss has asked me to pass on

2. C haracters m ust stay (rela­ tively speaking) in character, except fo r bouts o f am nesia.

However, a rad ically different personality trait m ay be “discov­ ered ” each week.

3. T here must be a cliff-han ger a t the en d o f ea ch w eek’s entry.

T he story must then p ick up from that moment.

D ic k ie D e F a z io : Sylvia’s personal executive secretary. His interests include WWF matches, reading Danielle Steele, and lis­ tening to Mozart.

T h e h o n o u r o f in s ig h t B Y GALLAG H ER MACKAY It took a surprisingly long time for the smash Broadway hit Torch Song Trilogy to be made into a movie. Apparently, there were two major reasons for the delay in transforming the show, which garnered a generous armful of Tony awards, into celluloid.

W riter and star Harvey Finestein was very picky about alterations to his project, while it was also difficult to find a major studio with the guts to make this movie in our homophobic era. Yes, in the decade of AIDS, there is some risk involved in producing the often difficult story ofa drag queen without a hint of farce. This diffi­ culty may be the reason for the excellence of the films highlight­ ing homosexual characters (such as My B eau tifu l L au n drette and D esert H earts) which have been produced.

Harvey Finestein has written

a very powerful movie, and man­ aged to assemble a committed ensemble cast under powerful direction. Nonetheless, the star and center is Finestien himself.

His Arnold comes as close to a fully rounded character as cin­ ema can. We see him going through a huge spectrum of emotionsinhisrelationships with his lovers, his family, his friends and the public at large. He has a great way with a one liner, “Whoops... is accidentally douch­ ing with Drano,” and he is totally believable at even the most in­ tensely dramatic moments in the movie.

He is backed up by Anne Ban­ croft as his mother and Matthew Broderick as his great love, Alan.

Bancroft is great, and Broderick succeeds in bringing his usual charm as an eager ingenue to a homosexual part. Arnold’s total capitulation to his charms is easy enough to understand.

Possibly the most valuable aspect of this movie is the insight itm ay provide into the sometimes alien world of the gay commu­ nity. The movie’s particular skill is to juxtapose the familiar with the potentially shocking, until we are forced to identify with the characters. In a confrontation with his mother, Arnold lists all of the things he has learned to do so he can be independent, con­ cluding that “Now, all I need from anyone is love and respect. Any­ one who can’t give me that has no place in my life.” Perhaps he is making th at demand of the audi­ ence as well. The rest of us on the planet are given, by his art, the honour of insight. Having seen the film, we are left to choose with which of our own predjudices we are willing to live.

Torch Song Trilogy is at Cineplex O deon’s S om e theatre, som e address.
