BY SHANNON ALDINGER Council members o f McGill’s Post-Graduate Students’ Society (PGSS) seemed frustrated and angered after Studets’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) execu­ tive candidates discussed their views on the PGSS-SSMU seces­ sion debate at last week’s PGSS meeting.

PGSS had invited all SSMU ex­ ecutive candidates to attend a dis­

formed,” said Lee Iverson, Presi­ dent of PGSS. “There is an un­ happy attitude we [PGSS] sec among the incoming SS MU candi­ dates. I found that most of the candidates have the attitude of ‘history hasn’t occurred’ [that the secession issue arose this year rather than the fact that it has con­ tinued for many years] or the atti­ tude ‘we should ignore it’ [this history], I find this appalling,” he stated.

BY ANDREW GREEN An articlepublished in T h e D a ily last Wednesday annoyed members o f the Inter Frater­ nity Council (IFC) to the point that they in­ vestigated Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) election regulations regarding slander and even con­ sidered legal action.

The IFC and Jennifer August, D a i l y Editor and the author of the

article: “Understanding Frat Psy­ chology”, which appeared on page five of Wednesday’s D a ily , have since worked out a ‘truce’ at a s in c e 1911 r—

Thursday meeting.

A caption under photos of three SSMU presidential candidates reading “Find the FratBoy...”, and

a lead-in asking “How many frats does it take to screw in a light bulb?” particularly raised the ire of the IFC. “The general connotation of the article, right off ' the bat, is a negative B J one,” IFC president S c John Davidson told the T rib u n e . Past IFC liai­ son officer Richard Levy charged that the “Find the Frat Boy” question was “completely prejudicial and had no place in the article.”

The T rib u n e has learned through

a reliable source that Alex Ner­ ska’s candidacy has been disal­ lowed due to his probationary academic standing for the 1988-89 academic year. The source did not wish to be identified.

When questioned about this is­ sue, Chief Returning Officer (CRO) Joanna Wedge would not comment on Nerska’s standing.

She would only say, “Due to a misunderstanding on the part of the candidate and on the part of everyone involved, Alex Nerska was not a legitimate candidate,” basically reiterating Friday’s joint statement Nerska was unavailable for comment.

Registrar J.P. Schuller, though he would not confirm nor deny that Nerska has probationary standing, stated in an interview that he re­ leases such information to the CRO to validate candidates’ eligibility.

When questioned about the “mis­ understanding” mentioned by Wedge, he added, “Nomination papers should say that [the require­ ments for candidacy] in the fu­ ture.”

This sudden change has altered the race for president. Nerska had been considered a contender due to his experience on the ASUS

executive and his proposal to al­ low for the secession of PGSS. Eric Darier, PGSS Vice Presi­ dent, told the T rib u n e he was “dis­ appointed” that Nerska was out of the race. “It’s a shame that all of the other candidates” will not per­ mit PGSS to secede, regardless of the results o f their present seces­ sion referendum.

Ian Palm, one of the seven re­ maining candidates for SSMU president said Nerska had been “vocal about changes that were needed in SSMU.” Though he felt Nerska “would have gotten votes” he said “No, I don’t think so,” when asked if his absence would alter the election result.

Presidential candidate Santo Manna was more skeptical of Nerska’s chances: “His votes wouldn’t have made much of a dif­ ference.”

Post-graduate representative Genevieve Tanguay accused the majority of the candidates of being “ignorant” aboutthe PGSS-SSMU secession issue. “You all admit that you don’t know post-gradu­ ates’ needs,” she said.

She also said that she “admired” the candidates’ “nerve” for attend­ ing the meeting with such minimal preparation. She defended PGSS representatives’ decision not to attend SSMU Council meetings by saying that “we have no representativeson [SSMU] Council because we have seen that it does nothing.

W e’re no longer there because we no longer want to be.”

Four o f the seven presidential candidates attended the meeting: Santo Manna, Ian Palm, Peter Thomas and David Wright. Al­ though absent, Montgomery Shillington sent a letter to the PGSS executive to represent his stand.

Both Doug Fowler and Sander Shalinsky did not attend the meet­ ing and neither were available for questioning before deadline. Alex Nerska, although he did attend, is no longer a candidate.

All present candidates admitted that they were not in favour of PGSS secession from SSMU, al­ though some said that they would be open to negotiation. PGSS council members had particularly favoured Nerska for his willing­ ness to allow PGSS secession.

“I understand why post-gradu­ ates may not want to be repre­ sented externally by an organiza­ tion which is, by nature, under­ graduate-dominated. It is the obli­ gation ofSSMU to respect the right o f post-graduate students to decide who will represent them,” said Nerska.

“The fact that other graduate councils [from other universities] are autonomous may mean that we should look at that too. Maybe the people [SSMU] are just being ri­ diculous about wanting to hold on to something [PGSS]. Maybe it [PGSS] should separate. I don’t know...but I would be very inter­ ested in negotiating,” said Palm.

Candidates also blamed the ex­ istence of poor PGSS-SSMU rela­ tions on previous executive mem­ bers. Said Nerska, “For many years now, SSMU has attempted to ig­ nore the honest demand of PGSS for political autonomy, an auton­ omy unlimited by its obligation to

any higher student authority.

SSMU has used exaggeration and emotion to cloud the real issues and scare students into believing the whole spirit of student govern­ ment at McGill will leave with the [secession o f the] post-graduates.

This is essentially untrue.”

“Mr. Iverson was quite correct when he noticed that it is ironic that S SMU has chosen an arbitrary fee increase when in the past, PGS S has presented a logical formula for determining fees,” read Shillington’s letter, quoting Iverson’s let­ ter published in the T rib u n e .

Although most candidates prom­ ised future PGSS-SSMU negotia­ tions concerning increased PGSS representation on the SSMU Coun­ cil, coupled with reductions in post­ graduate fees to SSMU and/or the idea of PGSS transfer payments to SSMU, most candidates admitted that they preferred the first plan over the second.

“I don’t see why having repre­ sentation on Council, yet paying less fees, in other words paying fees that would be comparable to those transfer payments thatPGSS is going to make, is a bad idea,” proposed Thomas.

Wright, although a graduate student himself, admitted to PGSS that he was not in favour of the currentPGSS referendum concern­ ing secession and proposed that greater post-graduate representa­ tion on SSMU, in the form of a post-graduate president, would be more beneficial to PGSS. “I want to make one very simple point: the referendum does not achieve what you think it’s going to achieve. It’s probably better to have a graduate student as Presi­ dent of SSMU rather than an under­ graduate. This is not to say that I don’t think graduate students don’t have reasonable grievances with SSMU, I do think that we pay too much fees for the services that are rendered, but I think that can be negotiated, especially if we have a graduate student for President to reorient SSMU policies towards issues like daycare, the TA-student ratio, and the state of the li­ brary system. I think it’ll be better to have a graduate student as Presi­ dent than an undergraduate be­ cause, quite frankly, w e’ve had undergraduates for Presidents for probably well over twenty years now and I think it’s time for a change,” stated Wright.

BY LINDA MILLER The competence of Concordia University student security guards is being questioned due to allega­ tions of assault made by McGill students. The students claim they were roughed up on 24 February at a university hockey match.

At the Concordia-McGill play­ off hockey game, a few McGill engineers stepped onto the ice be­ tween the second and third periods and began to play broomball to the

cheers of the crowd. The Concor­ dia announcer asked them to leave the ice, and, shortly afterward, Concordia student security person­ nel rushed onto the ice and began shoving the McGill engineers off the ice, according to a student eye­ witness.

One guard however, went be­ yond what was necessary and as­ saulted Guy Lafond, one of the engineers, with a broomball stick, beating him repeatedly in the ab­ domen. According to Lafond, he

BY CHRISTINE BYRON Bureaucratic backlogging from the BC government and at McGill University has forced several stu­ dents from British Columbia to wait up to five months for their scholarship money.

The scholarship money, which was requested from the BC gov­ ernment by McGill in early Octo­ ber, was supposed to arrive soon after, but because of a mixup, the cheque was sent to the wrong de­ partment and did not end up in the cashier’s office until mid-Decem­ ber. The money was credited to the students’ accountin early January, but by that time, most students had already paid their second semester fees and had requested a refund.

Some students are still waiting, and those affected are nothing short o f frustrated.

“This has all been handled very poorly”, said scholarship winner Dan Getz. “The money was too late for first semester, so I paid my tuition. By late December, I still hadn’t heard anything, so I paid second semester tuition. In Febru­ ary I received a statement that said the money had arrived and had been credited to my account to­ wards tuition, but I had already paid all my fees, so I requested a refund. The Cashier’s Office said it would be three weeks.” Getz went to the Cashier’s Office after this time because no money had come, and found out that the pro­ cedure for refunds could not be completed over the telephone which he had done - that they had no record o f his request, and that he would have to fill out a refund form and wait another three weeks.

“It is ludicrous that it should take three weeks for a refund to be processed. I was counting on this money. I’m still waiting. I don’t even know if I’ll get the money before the school year is over. If McGill has such an excellent repu­ tation, the bureaucratic staff should keep up with these affairs.”

The scholarships, each worth $275.00, are issued by the Minis­

did not impose any threat to the guard.

More violence followed after McGill’s victory: McGill student Karim Aboud, who did not partici­ pate in the prank, was assaulted in the lobby of the Concordia arena.

A major factor in the incident, according to Robert Dubeau, di­ rector of Athletics at McGill, is the Concordia security guards’ lack of training and direction. According to Dubeau, such an incident is unlikely to happen at McGill be-

B C

plaint demanding compensation from Concordia since the univer­ sity should be, in his opinion, re­ sponsible for the actions of its staff.

Aside from receiving facial inju­ ries, Aboud’s glasses and jacket were destroyed. He adds, “I do not want to bring anyone to court but if that is what it takes to replace my stuff, I will.” He has not yet con­ tacted a lawyer.

There is no confirmation that the Concordia security guards involved in the violence will be dismissed.

Bob Philip, director of Athletics at Concordia is still collecting state­ ments from witnesses, and had no comment on the incident.

cause the process of selection for McGill guards follows stricter regulations. Dubeau said, “We need reasonable people, able to deal with delicate situations and solve problcmsby means other than violence.” He did not mention whether he would request that disciplinary actions be taken against the security guards who allegedly assaulted the Engineer­ ing students. “It is unfortunate, but I think it is an isolated incident.”

Patrick Yoshy, a security guard with Concordia, has been charged with assault. He has since charged a counter suit against Aboud.

Aboud has written a formal com­

h a s s le s

try of Education in Victoria, BC, and are awarded to those in the top 30% of each secondary school.

Students are presented with a voucher upon graduation which they are to present to the Cashier’s Office. When the majority of stu­ dents have turned in their vouch­ ers, McGill sends them off to the BC Government requesting a cheque for the lump sum. The of­ fice then deposits the money into each individual student’s account.

This is the first year that these “Passport to Education” scholar­ ships have been implemented.

When the Cashier’s Office did eventually receive the cheque from BC, they were given “no definitive information about how to go about this” said Mema Springthorp, Supervisor of the McGill Cash­ ier’s Office. When asked for the specific dates on which they re­ ceived McGill’s request and sent out the cheque, and when asked for possible reasons for the delay, all that Barry Corbol, Director of Student Assessment in Victoria had to say was “W e’d like to verify that information before releasing any­ thing to the press.”

This type of bureaucratic hold up has been experienced by other scholarship winners as well, and in many cases, the money goes is a necessity rather than a luxury. Lyle Harvey had won a private scholar­ ship from the Amoco Canada Corporation, a petroleum company in Alberta. The scholarship, worth $1000, was payable in two equal installments in the same way as the BC scholarships, to be deposited into the students account by the Cashier’s Office at McGill. The first term installment hadn’t ar­ rived, so Harvey was forced to take out a McGill loan in order to pay for his tuition. When the money finally came in in mid-November, Harvey used it to pay back the loan. He returned to the Cashier’s Office in the first week of the winter term to find that the second in­ stallment had arrived, but that he was not allowed to have it until they had verified if he’d paid back the loan.

“The thing that really upset me was that the money was here at McGill, but I couldn’t have it bec o n tin u e d o n page 5

Promises, promises. The air is pungent with promises. “Spring is coming soon, I promise.” “We’ll do lunch, I promise.” “I’ll respect you in the morning, I promise." This week’s SSMU elections are no exception. Next year could be slightly disappointing for McGill voters who expect their elected representatives to fulfill their sacred vows.

This appears to be a result of candidates who are ignorant of structural and economic factors and unfamiliar with the reality of student government: very little power. It is sad, but true. Until students begin to riot in front of the James Administration Building, we must let these boys in ties (27 of the 33 SSMU candidates are male) try to run the show. Just for fun, let’s look at a few examples of the more stellar promises of the season.

One of my favorites is “I promise to return spring break.” This is a doozy, but it is also one that will indeed be fulfilled. Folks, the decision has already been made, we will have a spring break next year, and the carbon-based bodies for which you vote have nothing to do with it. This is on a par with promising you that we will indeed have a summer vacation this year. Whew, thanks guys, I was worried. Someone should also inform these people that regular Student Council meetings (but not Executive Committee meetings) are open to all students. Should they not have attended one or two of these themselves?

I am also enamoured with the people who promise you the earth, the sky, and everything in between. Arts Senators who promise to stop underfunding, candidates who propose prohibitively expensive mega-projects like a roundthe-clock, free access Macintosh lab, and promises of a decrease in over­ crowding when the space crunch is only on the increase, are all relatively laughable. One must ask “how?”

The opposite of this is the “non-promise.” This includes “increasing communication,” “better representation of your concerns,” and “addressing the relevant issues.” Thus, it is impossible for students to pin down a candidate on his or her unfulfilled promises because, well, they did not say anything in the first place!

Should one vote for a “cheerleader?” Granted, it is not terrific that McGill is as apathetic as lukewarm dirty dishwater, but student government is hardly the most spine-tingling means to incite school spirit. McGill’s physical composition is totally unconducive to “spirit,” so perhaps our elected officials should worry about concrete issues and leave the attack on apathy to the Redmen and the Martlets. (But if more presidential candidates took their shirts off at hockey games, we’d have one hell of a wild school.)

Related factors are the “I was class president,” the “I participated in intramural innertube waterpolo,” and the “I volunteered to pour beer once at pubnite” phenomena. Does it matter? Do I care? When dealing with McGill’s bureaucratic monstrosity, such mediocre experience is somewhat irrelevant.

As discriminating voters, we should carefully examine the credentials of each candidate to determine if their background satisfies their potential responsi­ bilities.

And a final rule of thumb: if their photo on their poster is bigger than thenplatform, don’t vote for them.

ASUS “alcoholics” blow their horn To the Tribune: We are writing to you concerning the alcohol issue (Trib., Feb. 21). In your article, you state a uniform alcohol policy exists in the Union Building.

This is not true. While Ballroom events must provide a designated driver pro­ gram, no such program is available in Gert’s or the Alley. In addition, they set minimum prices in the ballroom that are not followed in Gert’s as evidenced by $4.50pitcher nights. So we are forced to pose the question: Is this another example of the SSMU’s inconsistent policies toward McGill students?

Are the SSMU councillors the only ones capable of lucid reson when it comes to alcohol? Why are they dictat­

ing morality to us? They claim mini­ mum pricing is necessary to ensure people don’t become too inebriated.

Even more scary are misdirected coun­ cil memebers who make claims like “Making alcohol more accessible scares me” and “We have amoral duty to uphold.”

Who are these mutants? Who are they to dictate how much and at what price we can drink? If we want to be al­ coholics, that’sour business. Stopmoralizing. Do something like heighten­ ing the railings in the Union Building - this could save lives and the Travel Cuts roof.

O n lip o s u c tio n To the Tribune: (re Annie’s vs. Gert’s, Trib., Feb. 14) Annie’s? Annies? McGill doesn’t need Annie’s. Annie’s is a taco bell. I’d rather need liposuction surgery. Get out while you can.

T a p e s

I don’t believe in God, but I do believe in People. Where The New Republic and Commentary insist on huge, tacky blocks of text. People has, in a startling coup for postmodernism or something, whittled down its stories to a sparse collection of small, easy to understand words accompanied by big, easy to understand photos - the kind of vulgarity you can really sink your teeth into. In short, and no doubt as they intended, those ‘now’ philosophers at People have made Nietzsche’s transvaluation or values really neat lifestyles of the fab and photogenic.

Oh boy!

Well, without even a bank holiday or a Today show interview, People published its 15th anniversary issue last week, reminding us all that, in a year, pop cul turc wil 1be able to get its driver's licence. Not content to rest on their...urn...laurels, the People people have outdone themselves at the art of Mammon-worship. I think these three simple words, the title of a four page photographic feature, say it all: “Cav­ alcade of Cher”. Of course, for the really brave, there's “Yearbook”, a section which enumerates the top terms, names and stories of the last decade and a half, and in so doing proves conclusively that, with a few years and very few brain cells, the Jonestown suicides and “Who shot J.R.?” can have equal significance.

For heaven’s sake and mine, buy a copy of this magazine and put it in your reference files; if we aren’t care­ ful to keep the memories of things like Evcl Knievcl alive, they may, God forbid, happen again.

As I try and keep up with opinion on the latest crop of albums being re­ leased, I’m faced with an imponder­ able: for sortie reason people continue to hire people to write reviews of rock concerts and albums, and these critics continue to write (after their paycheques are safely cashed, no doubt) brain-deadening little pieces which invariably use the same, clichcd words and phrases: “pounding drum­ beats”, “soulful”, "phenomenal”, “delicate lilt”, and, of course, “wall of sound". Show me a rock critic, and I'll show you someone who still bears the psychological scars of having been deprived of a thesaurus as a child, and who has an obsessive need to compare people to the Beatles or early Spring­ steen.

What we really need is to erase the old cliches and come up with one new phrase to replace them: aphrase that is pan-applicable and equally as inane. I have such a phrase. Consider it in this simple formula: “x was into some serious volume.” A phrase like “seri­ ous volume” is fun, sounds cool, and means absolutely whatever you want rt to. Just try it out: “The Montreal Symphony Orchestra was into some serious volume 1ast night at Place-des Arts, where they grooved on Berlioz.”

As Bill and Ted might say, the phrase is “excellent,” and at least it’s new.

Are you listening. Spin?

Next week; Edie Brickell - the Bad Poetry years.

P.S: For the last time, I vigourously and positively deny that I have ever said that Annie’s, particularly on crowded nights, is breaking every fire safety regulation that it possibly could.

S u b d u e y o u r n a r c is s is tic d e s ir e s To the Tribune: I am not especialy fond of letters of response to letters of criticism, but in the case of Erin Berry (Trib. letters, Feb. 28, etc.) I will make an exception.

Mr. Berry’s recent letter protesting Paul Horwitz’s column “The Disneyland Tapes” (the third such let­ ter written by Mr. Berry and his asso­ ciates) agrees with him on one point; this is, to use hisown words, that “T.V. sucks.” What is amusing is that he and his “band of merry men” continue to defend the National Broadcasting Network [sic]. Do these people see this network as exemplifying quality broadcasting (a delicate issue), or do they take pride in the stuff they berate?

Also, what exactly is wrong with (again, in his own words) bashing the lowest (need I add most popular) level of pop culture? I submit that everyone does not know that television is mind­ less drivel, and that Mr. Horwitz’s column is as good a method as any to

point out the excess of mediocrity in our society. I further submit that Mr. Berry and his cronies, not Mr. Horwitz, are more likely top be guilty of spending most of their time watching television; their defence of Star Trek and Late Night with David Letterman is a good indication of the lack of higher culture of which Mr. Horwitz stands accused.

I ask Erin, Derek, Philippe, Don, Alex, and Rob to do readers of the Tribune a favour by subduing their narcissistic desires to see their names in print. By alternately defending and condemning the Great God of Televi­ sion they are highlighting their own hypocrisy and, if I may be so bold, making fools out of themselves. Origi­ nally I had agreed that Mr. Horwitz’s comments were a little harsh. Mr. Berry’s latest letter has convinced me; yes, these people are dickheads.

cause they still weren’t sure if I’d paid my loan That is ridiculous, because I’d paid that back two months previously.” Harvey filled out a release form and was told it would take three weeks to be proc­ essed. Once again, when no money came, he went back to the Cash­ ier’s Office and filled out another release form. He is still waiting. If no money comes soon, he likely will need to take out a second loan.

“This money is extremely im­ portant to me. I was planning to pay for my tuition and rent with it.

All around this has not been handled competently. The Cash­ ier’s Office just keeps telling stu­ dents to fill out a form and wait three weeks. They don’t offer to explain the situation or talk to me about this, just to fill out the form and wait. There is no communica­ tion between anyone. No one is sure what is happening.”

Regrettably, the prolongation of the wait for students lies in an understaffmg problem at McGill.

At the time when the money does go into the students’ accounts, the Cashier’s Office is so busy dealing with incoming registration fees an i card validation, the refund process slo w s down considerably.

Springthorp says, “At that time of year, the Cashier’s Office is very backlogged because of the stric­ tures of registration, collection of payments and card validation. We received a flood of refund requests, thousands and thousands. We usually handle about600per week, but at that point in the year,it is just impossible to handle all of this at once. We simply don’t have a sufficient amount of staff to do everything.”

It is unfortunate that an issue as vital this must be subjected to these kinds of delays, but understaffmg and government holdups are a common problem for university students across Canada. Maria Battaglia, SSMU VP University Affairs suggests that students could speak to the Dean of Students or the McGill Ombudsman for help.

Judy Stymest, Director of Student Aid, says that she would look into the problem herself, and that stu­ dents who are in desperate need should come to S tudent Aid office, who will work on their behalf.

extra two-year wait. In an attempt to persuade students, they are cir­ culating a flyer around campus listing reasons for extending the deadline. The flyer points out that McGill’s existing facilities were only built to accommodate 8000 students, and that presently 30,000 students attend this university.

Also, the flyer asserts that the cur­ rent facilities are inadequate for

Davidson and Levy were also displeased with the content of the article, but were chiefly con­ cerned that these two highly vis­ ible lines would affect the up­ coming SSMU elections. SSMU Presidential candidates Ian Palm and Alex Nerska (still a candi­ date at the time), are both frater­ nity members. “Usually, w e’re used to being slandered,” said Davidson, but since Palm and Nerska “are the two that are par­ ticularly attacked in the article, we thought it was probably a violation of the election rules.” The photo above the controversial caption was that of Nerska, and Palm was quoted in the article.

(Submissions will be received fromMarch 27th until 4:30p.m., April 7th, 1989) Any student group on campus may request office space in the University Centre provided the group has been in operation since January 1st, 1988. According to Council policy adopted September 13th, 1978, the same groups ineligible to receive Students' Society funds are also not eligible to be given office space in the University Centre.

Please note the following: -Groups with office space in 1988/89 will be given preference.

-The Joint Management Committee will review all space requests and, at its discretion, will decide which groups assigned space will have to share offices. .Due to the extremely high demand for office space in the University Centre, it would be highly appreciated if groups, which do not absolutely need office space, refrain from requesting an office.

In the letter of application for office space, please include any comments or recommendations relating to the physical condition of the club offices, the adequacy of the furniture and accessories and any improvements that should be made.

NOTE There is no specific request form for office space. Requests, with justifications, should be typed and addressed to the Joint Management Committee. They should be delivered or mailed to: Leslie Copeland, Operations Secretary, Students’ Society General Office, Room 105, 3480 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9,

facilities such as the weight room, and would allow for more pro­ grams such as instructionals and Total Workout. Lastly, the flyer warns that if the extension is re­

vincepeople to not vote for me."

Representatives of the IFC met Chief Returning Officer Joanna Wedge Wednesday, but learned that little could be done. “They were angry at the Daily for what they felt was the slander o f an individual. They wanted to know if this was prejudicial to the elec­ tion,” she told the T rib u n e . She said that while “It would appear that way,” the appropriate SSMU election regulation does not pro­ hibit it.

The regulation reads: “No pub­ lication supported either directly or indirectly by funds obtained from Society fees may express any but a neutral attitude in an article, editorial, advertisement or letter, towards any candidate or position in an election or referendum dur­ ing the p o llin g period” (our em­ phasis).

Wedge says that the issue was “blown out o f proportion” by the IFC because there is some ques­ tion as to whether the D a i l y is “indirectly” funded from Society fees, and also the article was not printed during the polling period.

IFC president Davidson objects that “technically speaking, next Wednesday, [TheDai/y] could put a full page on the front of the newspaper, with a photograph of one of the candidates, and write ‘do not vote for this man’ and get away with it,” due the Daily’s independent funding. “I find that a bit strange.”

However, after an emergency IFC meeting Wednesday night, Davidson and author August met Thursday and, according to Dav­ idson, “We have worked out our differences in a lot of areas.” As part of their agreement, the D a ily has agreed to print an erratum explaining that it never meant to influence the election. As well, the D a i l y has agreed to withhold the printing of the second half of August’s article until after the elec­ tions. Thirdly, Davidson says that “I’m going to be interviewed by them, explaining some of the good things that the fraternities have been doing.”

“Now that they have agreed to do these things, I’m not really going to push this thing forward this time.

We have told them, however, that w e’re no longer going to stand for any king of, just general frat-bashing...” With regard to legal action, Davidson said: “It was considered, and it might be considered in the future if blatant disregard to the facts continues.”

In addition to its worry that the article might affect election out­ comes, the IFC also objected to the many references to fraternity se­

crecy and hazing in the article.

Also, psychology doctoral student Steve Wright, who, along with his advisor, professor Don Taylor, is quoted extensively in the article on the subjects of secrecy and ritual, told the T rib u n e that the article may have been misleading.

“I can’t claim I’m misquoted; the quotes are accurate. ButI think the way that they’re used is mis­ leading. She’s using our quotes to endorse a negative position of fra­ ternities. I don’t hold a positive or negative opinion of fraternities,” said Wright. He say s the arguments of his presented in the article were in response to questions regarding the purpose of secrecy or ritual, not questions about the general nature of fraternities.

Wright said that he was “Not saying fraternities are wonderful things, either; I’m just saying... the processes that they use are consis­ tent with other social groups...

Virtually every group that you join requires that you deny some of your personal rights.” He also said that Professor Taylor, who was interviewed at the same time, “likened fraternities to the mili­ tary, cults, the group ‘holders of PhDs’, organized religion, and sports teams. It’s unfortunate that she [August] chose the military and cults as the only two examples.”

In response to the issues of se­ crecy and hazing, IFC president Davidson claimed that “A lot of the fraternities at McGill are non­ secret.” Of the few that are, Dav­ idson says that they “are only se­ cret to a very minor degree, as in they have a secret handshake and a secret motto...” and that they are often under pressure from their international organizations or alumni to maintain the secrecy.

With respect to hazing, he says that “A lot of the fraternities at McGill have really tightened up their ritu­ als and what’s allowed and what’s not allowed... We have very few fraternities that even haze anymore, and [for] those that do, we have strict guidelines as to what they can do and we know what’s going on before they do it.”

Davidson claimed that IFC constitutional changes ensure that “the members who are going to pledge those fraternities are made aware of what the hazing is before they participate. They have the opportunity to leave. We don’t like being told these things about be­ coming cult members when you join a fraternity; the hazing and the secrecy keeps you attached by a bond forever. That’s complete garbage. That may be the case in some places in the States, but it isn’t at McGill.”

P r o c la m

BY PAUL HORWITZ AND PAULM ICHELL On February 22, with no other candidates vying for their posi­ tions, Ray Satterthwaite and John Fox were acclaimed for the re­ spective positions of SSMU Vice Presidents o f Internal and External Affairs. As the ongoing fight for the remaining Executive positions continues around them, Satterth­ waite and Fox now have the time to consolidate their ideas and opin­ ions, and decide on priorities for their jobs next year. The T rib u n e spoke to both Executives last week about their plans.

Ray Satterthwaite is 23 years old, and is currently in U3 of a psy­ chology degree. His past experi­ ence includes being a Psychology Representative to the Executive Council, being a student represen­ tative on curriculum matters, and working intensively with the Pro­ gramming Network. He noted that several recent VP Internals had moved from the Programming Network to the Internal Affairs position, and said: “It’s a great spot to observe...the inner workings of the system - how smoothly it runs, and the little hitches in the ma­ chine that arise.”

He is aware that much of his work will rely on and be in con­ junction with the full-time staff of Students’ Society. On this topic he said: “As it stands now, I get along well with the full-time staff up there. There is a system up there, and there are people who do very good work, but in any position y ou ’ve got to have someone check­ ing what’s going on; and I think it should be the students’ responsi­ bility to have that check, and ob­ jectively.”

One of Satterthwaite’s main con­ cerns next year as VP Internal will be with C VC, the national catering company which runs all food serv­ ices at McGill, as well as Gert’s and the Alley. “It’s a rough issue”,

a t io n s

he said. “As it stands now, I’m kind of on both sides of this issue, being an employee of CVC and also going up for the VP Internalship. It’s a really good position to be in, because you see the work­ ings of SSMU and their responsi­ bility towards CVC, but then again, being a CVC employee, I see the inner function o f the company that I think, personally, is doing a hap­ hazard job of running our pubs on campus. CVC is a catering service. ..I think that they should be restricted to just running the cafe­ terias, and if they could concen­ trate just on those cafeterias, and forget the pubs and lose that re­ sponsibility, I think they could do a better job, since that’s their serv­ ice. My solution to this problem is to have the bar run by students, and have an individual who answers to the VP Internal in terms of pro­ gramming and quality control. It would not be completely be disas­ sociated from CVC; I’m not trying to suggest we break contract. What should be done is that a viable mechanism should be worked out whereby, instead of answering to CVC, the bar manager would an­ swer to the V-P Internal. They [CVC] would still be guaranteed a certain amount o f profits from the system.”

VP External Designate John Fox is a 21 -year old Honours student in Economics and Finance. He has acted as d e f a c t o External Affairs Coordinator since January due to former VP Mark Cameron’s hasty departure, and has been instrumen­ tal in the formation of FEEQ (Federation des Étudiantes et Étu­ diants du Québec), the new Québec university student organization.

Fox is clearly excited by the poten­ tial of the new movement.

“I think McGill’s role in the stu­ dent movement should be to find the areas in which university stu­ dents have common concerns and present those to the government.”

Regarding the PGSS-SSMU

..s p o r t s c o m p l e x c o n tin u e d from la s t page new building could provide.

For the past seven years, stu­ dents have been paying fifteen dollars a semester in contribution to the sports complex. If the refer­ endum decides to continue with its plans to build this complex, stu­ dents will continue to pay this fee for eight more years. The new building will cost $15 million, of which the students are expected to pay $4 million under the new plan.

This new gym is expected to contain an interior track, various sport courts, a first aid and sports injury clinic, changing rooms for joggers and skiers to use on the mountain and facilities for senior citizens and handicapped students.

In addition, the existing pool will

be extended from 25 yards to 25 meters, and the weight room would be, according to Fox, “roomier, if not [with] more machines” and squash courts may be added.

Since the new sports complex, to be situated right next to the old one, is expected to attract many more students, SSMU is also at­ tempting to get the congested McTavish Street closed to auto­ motive traffic and made into a pedestrian mall. SSMU would like to see the dangerous intersection between McTavish and Penfield fixed, to increase pedestrian travel to the sports facility. At the end of March, the University is sched­ uled to present a new version of its project to the City and the Stu­ dents’ Society.

th e

conflict, Fox says, “As as external affairs person, it’s very good for me to be representing all the stu­ dents, not continually have to say T only represent undergraduates.’

I think that it’s very beneficial that we all be represented by the same society.”

On Premier Bourassa’s propos­ als to lift the twenty year tuition freeze, Fox claims that“He’sgota lot o f work ahead of him on that...I guess that’s Nancy’s [Côté] quote!...Before we can even come close to saying that we support that, we have to make sure that the money that is raised through tui­ tion fees is going into o u r educa­ tion, because if we use that money to reduce the debt, w e’re subsidiz­ ing someone’s education, but someone that went here ten years

a c c la im

ago. That doesn ’t make sense. Any money raised from students should go towards th e ir education.

“Tuition fees are also a question o f accessibility. W e’ve got to look for reform of the loans and bursar­ ies system that will be such that people who don’t have the finan­ cial backing to come to McGill can still do it through loans and bursar­ ies.”

Fox wishes to build upon the “solid platform” provided by for­ mer VP External Chris Alexan­ der’s tenure. Still, he claims that McGill needs a “more definitive and solid policy. It’s not very spe­ cific. One o f the things that I would like to see, for example, is a re­ search project done on the psycho­ logical effect of [students] carry­ ing debt. How does it affect whether

e d

or not you drop out?

“I think that it’s quite apparent that tuition fees are going to rise anyway, so I want to make sure that that money is going to go to us, not to pay off interest on the accu­ mulated debt or something.”

Fox expresses concern about McGill’s need to continue its good relations with the Montréal com­ munity at large. “McGill has to maintain itself as an open group.

You try and take the approach that you want to have everybody in­ volved. McGill has, in the past, often not been concerned with the interests of other groups. When we go in front of the city, to make changes, we have to emphasize the advantages that the changes will be positive for the community at large, not just for McGill.”

ARE YOU RECOGNIZED BY THE SSMU? DO YOU WANT FUNDING? Budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year will be received from March 27th until 4:30p.m., April 7th, 1989 Budget requests are limited to groups directly recognized by the McGill Students' Society (i.e., organizations classified as "Functional Groups", cam­ pus-wide "Interest Groups" or "Society Activities").

As per SSMU Council Policy, certain interest groups are not eligible to receive Students' Society funds. These include groups with political or religious affiliations or beliefs.

Application for Budget packages may be obtained at the Students' Society General Office. Requests, with justifications, should be typed and addressed to the Joint Management Committee (JMC). They should be delivered or mailed to: Leslie Copeland, Operations Secretary, Students' Society General Office, Room 105, 3480 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9 NO LATER THAN 4.30 P.M., FRIDAY, APR IL 7TH, 1989.

BY PAUL MICHELL If we’re talking groovy restaurants and I assume we are- then Asha at Parc and Milton may be one of the great gas­ tronomic events in the past few years.

Montreal does have the reputation of being kind of a culinary goulash, and Asha fits in as one of the most rewarding Indian restaurants in the downtown area.

From the outside, one might not ex­ pect much...hey, this isn’t the Ritz, and you don’t pay five-and-a-half for abottle of stale Heineken. Instead, you can get a pint of Double-Diamond on draft, a rare experience in a city founded on watery pseudo-brew.

Once inside the friendly doors, your always-cheery waiter expertly reels off appropriate information and suggestions for meal combinations, which is particu­ larly helpful for those who see “Nan” on the menu and think of Grandma. The ever treacherous “spicyness” debate is resolved appropriately, so those who prefer blander versions of traditional Bangalore fare can survive a sitting with those of us who tell the waiter that we consider it a personal challenge to the chef to see just how hot he can make the curried beef dishes. Such bravado is discouraged, however, as Asha’s chefs are capable of making dishes hotter than napalm (but they taste much better!)

The food, if a little pricey, is wonder­ ful. Compared to many Indian restau­ rants, most of which don’t come close to Asha’s quality, you’ll realize that you’re getting a real bargain. You really need a small group of friends rather than just a couple to enjoy the wonders of this excellent cuisine, so Asha is conducive to extended food binges and much con­ sumption of imported beer. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

To top off your meal - and you will be full, because they won’t let you leave until you look like the Hindenberg, flames and all - try the wonderful spiced tea, which is, I’m pleased to announce, ambrosia.îTie ambrosia. Enough said.

BY RUARI NICHOLSON The first time I stumbled across Lux was with a bunch of friends seeking après 3

o’clock alcohol down the dirty boule­ vard. What I happened across was a fantastic restaurant-cafe-depanneur and magazine store which appeared more like a movie set filled with fascinating extras.

As manager Tony Lalente says, “Lux is is cultural experience. We import 30% of our goods so that you’re bound to find something you’ve never seen each time you come.” Founded in 1984 by Dr. Jean-Marie LaBrasse, Lux was origi­ nally a massive magazine shop with a hair stylist in the back. Now you can find everything from a live band bar to a bakery in this 24 hour experience.

Lalente told the Tribune that 40% of Lux's business is done after 3:30 on Fridays and Saturdays, an exciting time to see the place in action. Many people describe the variety of choice to be found at Lux as its most attractive feature.

However, I would have to say that it’s the variety of clientele, from skinheads to jocks,that make the place.

The only experience I can liken to Lux is the image of rush-hour Paris with all its chic and trendiness combined with the midwest, slow-movin’ “eats,” seen in such films as Easy Rider. This and a great mix of jazz and blues makes Lux the place to dine in late night Montreal.

Located on St. Laurent, it’s a little outof the way for some McGill students but well worth the effort.

So you can see how I’d feel when I found the place - 1 got it on recommen­ dation from one of my most conserva­ tive friends - and was surprised and happy to find Kits reincarnated. I’ve become quite a bit more cleancut since those days in Kits, but not enough to forget how cool those days were. Nos­ talgia keeps pulling me back to Santropol.

In fact, I ate there only last week, and the sight of huge fruit garnishes in the middle of winter was amazing. The se­ lection of tea (non-hallucinogcnic) goes on for a good page, and the food is served in quantities the term horn o' plenty definitely fits. Besides, soaking up the atmosphere is satisfying. Also, 1% of the price goes to Third World Coun­ tries - which is just enough to give you a sense of helping without making the entire dining experience too self gratify-

Sometimes, the women won’t offer ertain customers a sampling of their articulardishbecause they assume,often orrectly, that their non-Chinese patrons zon’t want any. Dim Sum is more than culinary experience; it is a flashback to Irade 11 Biology class. Among the ishes offered are fish heads, tripe, hicken feet and stomach.

Don’t let this put you off, the fiin of )im Sum is in never knowing what deliacy will roll by next, and the tremenous variety ensures that even the pickist eater will eventually find something 3 his/her liking.

After all that Chinese food, it is advisble to stroll around Chinatown and Old Montreal for both digestive and educaonal reasons. By the way, get there efore 11 o’clock and avoid the crunch.

When I use the term ‘Hamburger Heaven’ I am not thinking of some Burger King (she says condescend­ ingly) equivalent with rancid bur­ gers and fries that have flopped under the hot lights. Here we speak of a restaurant that has elevated rounded patties to an art form.

L’Anecdotc (no, not La Paryse though equally good, it is too far from my house), creates hamburg­ ers for which Wimpy would sell S wee’ Pea into white slavery, french fries which should make Ronald Macdonald hide his arrogant face in shame.

The dimunitive L ’Anecdote, huddled unobtrusively on the comer o f Rachel and St. Hubert disguised as a neighbourhood casse-croute, does not stop at perfecting the ba­ sics. They also have tofu hot dogs, huge salads with swiss cheese and walnuts, omelettes, and melt in your mouth chocolate cake.

Menu aside, the atmosphere alone is worth a trip. The L ’Anecdote on St. Hubert has a scant twelve tables and only a few yards of shiny metal­ lic counter, so you will have to wait humbly behind the locals fora table.

(The one on the comer of Pine and St. Urbain is cavernous, but not quite as cozily diner-esque.) It’s not really a bothersome wait, because the owners play great bluesy jazz and smile at you a lot. A word o f caution toresoluteanglos: no one here speaks your language, but they will be very patient with you as you attempt theirs.

BY HEATHER MITCHELL The best cure for a Sunday Morning Hangover or the best excuse to miss church is Dim Sum at the Kam Fung in Chinatown. Dim Sum, for those who are strictly eggs and bacon people, means ‘little bites’ in Chinese. And this is ex­ actly what it’s all about. In Dim Sum you don’t order your meal (a blessing for unilinguals) Instead, you choose small portions from the women who pass by with trolleys laden with steam­ ing bamboo baskets.

While it is often impossible to obtain the exact list of ingredients from the women, a pointed finger followed by a grimace or smile usually does the trick.

Somewhere in the course requirements at McGill, it says that you cannot gradu­ ate without having eaten at least once at Amelio’s. Located one block east of campus on Lome Avenue, Amelio’s is best known for it’s pizza which rivals thatof....gasp...Gert’s. Yet Amelio’s of­ fers more than world-renowned pizza, it has a wide selection of Italian dishes, and of course their famous cheesecake.

And talk about atmosphere! You will remember it for days to come as you try in vain to rid your clothing of that garlic smell.

Though Amelio’s is a small Italian restaurant, it is far from romantic. Sweet nothings whispered to that special some­ one are bound to be lost in the general hubbub. Imagine gazing into her eyes while her attention is fixed on that an­ noying strand of cheese dangling from your chin. Romance and Romano don’t mix at Amelio’s.

If you’d like to try and create that romantic atmosphere in the privacy of your own home, or if you’ve been trapped under a deluge of papers and books, Amelio’s delivers.

And if your waitress looks familar to you it’s probably because she sits next to you in your English class.

Amelio’s really has something going for it! Why else would people wait in that dingy stairwell for a cosy table at eye level with the street ? One final note, in keeping with the general policy at McGill, Amelio’s is BYOB, not even the ASUS is exempt.

BY NEAL HERBERT____________ If there was ever anestablishment that treats its customers as pocketbooks rather than people, the American Rock Café is it: “Drink or leave.” “Special? What special?” Comments like these flow from the mouths of the waiters, who watch your drinks as carefully as Ralph watches Sam, and with an equal ferocity that, un­ fortunately, completely lacks in humor.

Following in the footsteps of the trendy Hard Rock Cafés, the American Rock

Café falls short in just about every aes­ thetic category. The atmosphere is bright and glaring, the decor unorigi­ nal, the food average, and your pres­ ence is not wanted. Really. Even if you were walking home one night and, pass­ ing by, felt like abcer, you would proba­ bly have to pay a cover charge to get in.

No band, no entertainment, just a fee to sit at the bar.

Most of this criticism arises from a night I spent there to see Montreal’s now defunct Rude Guru play. Even the band, confined to a comer of the room rather than presented on a stage, poked fun at the bar. I found out at ten o’clock that beer had been on special for the past few hours, and that regular prices resumed at ten. They had actually served me beer without mentioning the spe­ cial, and so I tipped accordingly. Re­ cently a letter was written to the Trib­ une that complained of another special offered in an advertisement. The American Rock Cafe refused to recog­ nize the ad and the people left hungry, but not after a lengthy argument with the waiters and manager.

In the realm of public relations, the American Rock Café should take some lessons from the staff at Symposium.

Take my advice: If you want to see a band, go to Station 10 (Its cozy, albeit smoky, and the staff is courteous); if you want to eat, drink, and shoot the breeze, go to Antigone (or some such alternative).

BY NICK LEONARDOS One look at Skala tells you every­ thing you need to know. It is definitely not your typical Greek greasy spoon establishment. The fare is fair, consist­ ing of souvlaki, and fries, and beer. The atmosphere, however, is excellent. If you enjoy an ethnically diverse and friendly crowd, literally from all walks and crawls of life, then Skala is worth a look. When you walk in, don’t be de­ terredor repulsed by the welcome wagon crew, they ’rejust making sure you have a good time at Skala. You will have a good time, you just have to make the effort to walk (or take the Parc bus) north of Jeanne Mance Park. We McGill students get too bogged down with the downtown and ghetto scene. Get out and explore this city it’s one of the best in the world. There’s an entire area north of campus which is filled with great places to eat and drink. Skala is only one of hundreds.

salaried enlightened despots or ‘democratic’ elections. The most admirable quality of theRed H er­ ring is thus its irreverance.

Though SSMU has provided them with a small amount of funding, the editors are unwilling to turn a blind eye to the often rusty inner workings of the StudSoc machine.

Little tidbits are the forté of this paper. Take the simple “An­ nouncement” of afew minor dele­ tions to the 1989-90 calendar, the classified ad regardingfree trade, or the explanation that the acro­ nym ASUS stands for Although Smart, Unfortunately Soused. (“If we want to be alcoholics, that’s our business.”) Page 3 is a cohesive-yet-fragmented collection of such tiny ironies.

However, it is more difficult to sustain humour over lengthy articles. Though the “Gothic Di­ ary” and “If Dostoevsky Were a Hockey Player”effectively mimic the styles, even the avid reader will find slogging through them tedious, if not impossible. “My God, Jim!” simply fails: is there a

The long-awaited second issue of McGill’s humour magazine, the R ed Herring, has finally hit the stands despite the crunch of poor funding. Sarcastic, satirical, and, in places, downright sacrilegious, the new H erring issue is more polished and more entertaining than the debut. Though afew flat articles creep in to dull the total effect, this paper is one ‘college rag’ which deserves to be scoured page by page.

The brilliant front cover graphic certainly bowls over the reader with its behemoth “Bureaucracy” beast. This graphic sets the stage for a more visually appealing paper than issue one, which at times looked like Andy Warholg o n e - m u lt i- t y p e f a c e - P a g e maker®-happy.

Cynicism oozes from the news­ print. In the articles “Academic Cooking” and “Vogue on the Vanguard,” the H erring attacks some of the daily shit to which we are exposed in the university community, namely bogus intel­ lectual bullcrap and some en­ forced definition of hip political correctness. Burn ’em in effigy, I say!! In their “Statement of Prin­ ciples?”, “How not to write an editorial,” and “The Heritage U.S.A.

BY ROGER THE SH R U BBER When we left you hanging last week -and th a n k God we did, because one w ould hate to have to deal w ith m uch more o f this in ­ sidious trash than the diabolical editor demands- arch-yuppie and nasty power-vixen Sylvia was about to have her pretty little $100 bi-weekly ebony locks rearra nged by a half-crazed hairless m utant nam ed A m anda. The cute little brownies w hich A m anda h a d in tow were runn in g am ok in the oncoming traffic and were getting squashed like grubs underfoot in a rainforest.

“You hit my car, you endan­ gered my brownies, and you are a two-timing, half-baked, good-fornothing, insignificant, goddam­ ned piece of fluff, Sylvia,” screamed Amanda in a fit of rage and jealousy.

“Out of my way, you sallacious peasant,” said Sylvia, “I don’thave the time nor inclination to endure all of your puerile tantrums and boorish outbursts. What’s more, you had better do something about that hair situation; you look like a lab rat in a heroin dependency experiment.”

“You’ve been sleeping with Dickie, my beloved Dickie,” wailed Amanda. “You have, you schem­ ing bitch, and you’ll pay.”

street scene, interspersed with the delightful shrieks of the little brownies as they were crushed in their attempts to sell stale cook­ ies to hairy overweight men driv­ ing pick-up trucks with running boards and clearance lights, was sh a ttered by th e m eta llic “BRRRIIINN GG!” of Sylvia’s cel­ lular phone qua fax machine.

“Shut up Amanda, you harlot!

Enough of your meandering bab­ bling! I’m receiving a phone call!” said Sylvia, picking up the re­ ceiver.

“What is it!”

“M-M-M-M-Ms. Biletnikoff, it’s Dickie.”

“So it is, you idiot. What do you want? I don’t have time for this foolishness, you know! Tell all!” cursed Sylvia, with Amanda screaming in the background.

Someonehad called an ambulance to scrape the brownies off the as­ phalt with a spatula.

“I’m sorry to have to inform you of this, Ms. Biletnikoff, but AB&C Developmenthas just become the target of a hostile takeover at­ tempt! We’ve heard that the...”

“What! WHAT!” Sylvia’s head was spinning, her jaw at her knees, her world collapsing, her hair fluttering in the breeze like th o se B eem a n ’s gum commercials..."Who dares to challenge my personal control over AB&C? WHO DARES! Ibuilt that company from the ground

Noticeably shaking, Dickie an­ swered. “We have been informed that the initiator of the junk-bondfinanced, debt-equity swap driven leveraged EuroSamurai bond op­ tion takeover is none other than the South African Embassy here.”

“Hmmm,” said Sylvia, recon­ sidering. “We’ll have to see.” Cer­ tainly Sylvia was a venomnous, dastardly and generally evil de­ generate of a worn an, but she was no scum-sucking diplo-economic imperialist cultural relativist racist imperialist [again] eugenistic hegemonistic pseudo-intel­ lectual pinhead trying to obstruct the liberation struggle of the oppressed African m asses. I mean, she d id have a four-colour Human Rights Now T-Shirt from the most recent Amnesty Inter­ national Tour, and could listen to Sting’s atrocious new-age-musicwith-words ...Nothing like the Sun LP at one sitting, so she m ust have been progressive and hip, right?

Still, if the price was right, such minor and largely irrelevant con­ cerns such as international per­ petration of institutionalized racial hatred might completely evaporate from her myopic brain.

Sylvia was abusinessperson, after all. So, with a flick of her Hermes scarf, she continued.

“Well, is it an attractive offer?

Okay. I will just mention it now.

Free trade! Hah! Theré! Got that over and done with. Any discus­ sion regarding the relationship between Canada and the U.S. ne­ cessitates the interjection of this favoured and increasingly tire­ some term. Dealing with the film industry is no exception, but it is perhaps more defined. The States does not possess the largest movie industry in the world (India does, trivia enthusiasts), but it is cer­ tainly the most comprehensive, influential, and wealthiest, as proven by some of those actors whose names get placed above the title and who command a salary exceedingthe GNP ofNew Zealand.

Canada has not the capacity to ever hope to contend with this monolith. However, as opposed to the lamentable majority of our television broadcasting, we have consistently distinguished our­ selves in this field of competition for decades. We have proved the extent of our talents through highly respected documentaries, m arvelous, liv ely anim ated shorts, andmore recently,realis­ tic and hard-edged dramas like Un Zoo la Nuit.. M alarek contin ues in this fine tradition The film is a dramatization of Hey Malarek, an autobiographi­ cal relating of events by Globe & M ail journalist Victor Malarek.

As a child he was exposed to his

father’s incessant alcohol-induced verbal abuse and beating of his mother. When Dad reached rock bottom in a prison cell, the good people at Health & Welfare sent him and his older brother to a home for abused, unloved, un­ wanted, and delinquent lads.

When he was old enough to know better, he was caught as an ac­ complice of a petty robbery, and sent to a detention centre. There he was constantly beaten by the guards, who righteously did not give a damn for the greater number of inmates.

At Victor’s sentencing, his fa­ ther made a dramatic and oppor­ tune plea for his beloved son’s in­ nocence, stating he is really a good kid who happened to be in the wrongplace at the wrong time.

He was released to set the course of his life on the right track.

Ahappy ending? Yes. The end?

Not quite. The film opens within the offices of the M ontreal Trib­ une (alias the Star). It is 1971, and Malarek (Elias Koteas) is the office boy, distributing letters, making coffee, and seemingly enjoying a pleasant mode of em ployment. H is real goal, though, is to become a true-blue reporter. His sheer enthusiasm gives him the opportunity to re­ port on the ‘j ailbreak’of a group of youths from an unspecified loca­ tion . He witnesses the shooting of one of the kids by a maliciously grinning cop, and pursues the matter further. He discovers the

question about it. Sylvia was dead as a doornail.

Dickie screamed. Amanda screamed. All brownies were si­ lent, but they would have screamed. It was really unpleas­ ant, let me tell you. The battle over control of the massive and very cumbersome AB&C Corpo­ ration had only just begun.

N ext week: Do the nasty South Africans turn AB& C into an in ­ strum ent o f state terror?Does the undertaker turn Sylvia’s corpse into a m onum ent to fashion ter­ ror? Is A m anda convicted? What does the will say? Does Vladim ir get any shares?D id Sylvia say to sell, or to hold out? Will A m anda and Dickie get back together, or is the rift permanent? S ta y tu n e d .

So engrossed in her devious profit-makingmachinations was Sylvia that she did not notice the very thick andheavy carbon-fibre baseball bat that the criminally insane and very jealous Amanda OManley was swinging towards her head.

annoys Coleman Ettinger (Jason Robards) and his wife Gena (Piper Laurie) to no end.

Unfortun ately for Bobby, Cole­ man is “running an experiment into the mechanisms of dreams” which he hopes will revitalize his and his wife’s lives. Implausibly, Gena’s and Coleman’s minds become planted into the bodies of Bobby and Lainie, [the plot curdles...] with the task at hand for Coleman to return the correct mind to the correct body. Of course, he has only a few days Sort of a Rubik’s cube of personal­ ity problems.

Ofcourse, alongtheway: Lainie must fall in love with Bobby, cer­ tain other movie elements must fall in place, and a number of at­ tempts at humour must be tried.

Joel gets angered at a bunch of heavy metal sludgebutts and

Bobby Keller (Corey Feldman) andhisbestfriend, Dinger(Corey Haim) are uninteresting Ameri­ can kids in a typical small com­ munity. They talk like people from another planet, dress as if cul­ ture were nonexistent, and gen­ erally act like beanheads on Quaaludes. Absorbing characters for a movie, don’t you think? Let’s call it Dream a LittleDream, okay?

Bobby has a crush on his fr ie n d ’s g irlfrien d , L ain ie (Meredith Salenger), which he conceals due to lack of interest on her part and the possibility of jealousy from the friend, Joel (William McNamara). Dinger spe­ cializes in dumb jokes and selfgratifying comments. These two make dailyjoumeys through their neighbours’ backyard, which

Lainie’s mother provokes confron­ tations with her daughter. Any­ way, Lainie gives up Joel, Bobby/ Coleman makes Lainie/Gena re­ alize the mind switch, and Joel threatens the metalheads and Bobby. Sounds like an episode of Innocuous Innuendo.

Themajor flaws in this film are the young actors, who cannot act worth a shit and the situation, which is simply too stupid to sustain interest at all. The tran­ scendental experim ent th at switches minds does not deliver flashy effects but merely unfo­ cussed camera angles and atonal sounds. Corey Feldman tries his best to imitate Patrick Swayze in his movements, but falls flat— just picture it to understand my meaning. His attempts at por­ traying Bobby and Coleman are contrived and dull. Haim is not a

D ream ’s plotlines go along too many avenues to develop any of them fully. Is it a comedy, or is it a teen drama? It succeeds at nei­ ther. The finale has little of the tension it intends, and whatever taut feeling it has is due to McNa­ mara’s tightened anger, not Feldman’s bleats.

Dream is a movie I truly did not enjoy watching. It did not spark any interest, its jokes were thin and poor, and I came out of the theatre feeling quite blasé.

Thoroughly lackluster movie, guys.

funny actor, and here he works with terrible dialogue. Salinger, having already gone the Disney route with The Journey o f N atty Gann a few years ago, seems in­ attentive and uninterested in the script.

The older actors are wasted in this film, and this is a shame be­ cause their presence could have made the movie far more likable if not entertaining. Jason Robards is a man who can often colour a part with class. Here, he does not.

He rarely alters his facial expres­ sion, seemingly satisfied with a bemused look. Piper Laurie brightens up the scenes with grace in a style similar to Isabella Resselini’s in Cousins but has too little dialogue to make a differ­ ence. Harry Dean Stanton has no opportunity to instill his charac­

He is on the case, against any and all opposition from his pub­ lisher, his otherwise open-minded editor (Kerrie Keane), fellow re­ porters, the ill-humoured Health & Welfare social worker (A1 Waxman) who had confined Vic­ tor and his brother in the first place long ago, and manifold doctors, nurses, and hospital staff.

He tenaciously breaks the story, his first, which helped revitalize the laws dealing with the corrupt juvenile corrections system.

As the blurb implies, this street kid did make it. There are a few minor irritations: occasionally stilted, melodramatic dialogue, examples of rudimentary cinema­ tography (particularly the night sequences), and an exultantly corny finale (deep in our hearts, we all love them). But the scenes and flashbacks to his childhood and adolescence flow together

smoothly enough, the physical action is tautly edited and some­ times harrowing in their vivid­ ness, and the depiction of Mon­ treal as a grim, seedy metropolis is unduly successful.

Director Roger Cardinal de­ serves credit for his will to trans­ late the potential of this exciting and thought-provoking series of incidents to the big screen, as does the casting of Elias Koteas (from Coppola’s Gardens o f Stone and Tucker) as Victor Malarek.

He projects an infinitely likeable and exuberant fellow full of in­ herent moral judgement and a dogged persistence to bringthings to light and put to right (and is also up for a Best Actor at this year’s Genie Awards).

It is a film with a message and a story to tell that is so very real, and which most of us could and would never have conceived occuring in our own backyard. It is rare that a Canadian film gar­ ners this sort of attention, but when it does, it deserves to be seen.

Malarek is playing at Cineplex Odeon Theatres.

BY IAN M. SIROTA When I “volunteered” to be CKUT’s Live Sports Coordinator, I really didn’t know what to ex­ pect, or, for that matter, what to do.

Step one involved getting broad­ casters. I asked McGill’s resident sports guru,Earl“ThePearl”Zuckerman, whether he knew of any­ body who could step right in and do the job. He managed to come up with an entire on-air crew. Playby-play would be handled by vet­ eran McGill afficianado Glenn Cunningham. With his distinctive and powerful voice, he was to become synonymous with Redmen football. The game analysts were to be former Redmen stars Wayne McRae and Mark Haugwitz. This part of the broadcast taken care of, my attention was now turned to­ ward the technical side of the broad­ cast. This was fairly easy, as both of the technical producers of CKUT’s Pressbox, Lana Sherman and Seth Soroka, were available for this task. We now had to wait a week until the first game of the season, against Carleton on Sep­ tember 10. The whole crew met that Saturday at 11:00 a.m., two hours before game time, in order to go over how the broadcast would run. It was at this time that an un­ suspecting Aaron Margolis wan­ dered into Earl Zuckerman’s of­ fice, to get some information for an article he was writing for The Tribune. Glenn then asked me “Ian, who’s going to be our spotter?” I have an answer for everything: “What’s a spotter?” Once informed of what a spotter did (keep stats for the on-air crew), I glanced over to where Aaron was innocently sit­ ting. I knew I had my spotter. I walked over there and, summon­ ing up all my charm, asked him: “Hey, you (I didn’t know his name yet) wanna be our spotter?” Aaron also has an answer for everything: “What’s a spotter?” An explana­ tion followed, and he agreed to do it.

We were now all set, and at 12:15 we headed up to Molson Stadium to set up our equipment.

By this point we were all incredi­ bly nervous, so no one said much.

It was almost as if we were the ones who would be playing in the game, which thankfully started at that point. “Good afternoon, every­ one, and welcome to CKUT 90.3 FM’s presentation of Redmen football. I’m Glenn Cunning­ ham....” As far as I was concerned, the outcome of the game (a 45-8 McGill romp) was almost inciden­ tal. We had our share o f technical glitches, but considering that it was the first ever FM broadcast of a McGill sporting event, everyone was pretty satisfied. When we got back to the station, Jo-AnnePickel, the CKUT News Director (and the person directly responsible for getting us on air), asked how it went. I realized that modesty and objectivity were what the situation

th e

called for: “Fabulous! We were sensational!!”

We didn’t broadcast the next game (the Shaughnessy Cup against Concordia), but were set to broadcast the following Saturday (September 24), against Queen’s.

Though the Redmen were upset by a score of 31-28, the broadcast went a lot more smoothly than the first one, if only because we knew each other now. This made for fewer surprises. Things did not go as smoothly the next week.

We were all set to broadcast the Shrine Bowl against Concordia, but someone in their infinite wis­ dom had disconnected our Bell line back to the station. So, for the first quarter and a half of the game, we were not on the air. Eventually, former Tribune staffer Ken Muss saved the day by rigging up a temporary telephone jack so that the rest of the game could be broad­ cast. Though it came early on in our broadcast schedule, it was probably our biggest setback. It was also the last game for Mark Haugwitz as we decided to go to a two-man crew, reasoning that it would provide the broadcasts more continuity. It did, and with the ex­ ception of the final regular-season game against Bishop’s, CKUT broadcast all remaining Redmen football games. Included among these were the first ever road broad­ casts of McGill football games, at Ottawa, and Bishop’s in the play­ offs. For the Ottawa game, our emergency broadcast crew was Ken “Grizzly” Muss and Earl Zuckerman. They had to fill in for Glenn and Wayne, who could not make it to Ottawa.

After our experinces during foot­ ball season, hockey and basketball were almost easy. Glenn Cun­ ningham left the broadcast crew just before the Christmas break due to philosophical differences about the future of the broadcasts.

Ken Muss became our basketball play-by-play man, beginning what I liked to refer to as “Egospcak on the Air.” He was ably assisted by former Redmen swingman Jamie Alden (another former Tribune staffer). As far as hockey was con­ cerned, it did not take much prod­ ding to convince Aaron Margolis to take over the duties, with colour commentary being handled by another former Redmen great, Mark Reade.

Throughout the entire year, w e’ve had our share of ups and downs, but I’d like to think that there have been a lot more ups.

There was the first ever broadcasts of McGill football, hockey, and basketball games, as well as sev­ eral games that were broadcast on the road. The football game at Bishop’s was an event. In addition to marking the radio debutof Aaron Margolis, the weather played a major role in the play-by-play, as it alternately snowed, rained, and hailedon ühebroadcastcrew.There were two road broadcasts in

Y e a r in hockey,atToronto and Concordia.

The game at Concordia was some­ thing else, as we experienced the true essence of a city rivalry (the

These broadcasts have been made possible by a large number of people. Though ouron-aircrews have received most of the atten­ tion, there are people behind the scenes who meritatiention. People such as Lana (Lauer) Sherman, Seth Soroka, and Deepa Nair, who made sure that everything ran smoothly in the studio and at the broadcast site. People such as JoAnne Pickel, who took care of the politics that inevitably come with a program of this nature, and Earl Zuckerman, who got us statistics, did interviews, made phone calls, and generally went above and beyond the call of duty. Last, but not least, were the fans who lis­ tened to us each week, offering suggestions and comments all the while.

But sometimes the better team wins.

The McGill Redmen were eliminated from the Ontario University Athletic Association Eastern Division final by the Trois Rivieres Patriotes in two straight games, by scores of 6-3 and 6-

McGill’s finest effort, and the score re­ flected it. But, as on Wednesday, the tribe couldn’t maintain the intensity that had carried them to a 19-4-3 con­ ference record this year.

The Redmen came out in the first period flying, taking the body and scor­ ing three times (Mario DeBenedictis, StephaneMarcoux, Paul Grech) to take a 3-1 lead after the first period. It was A

At the 7:42 mark, Stéphane Marcoux scored on a superb individual effort, as he labelled defenceman Normand Nellis behind the UQTR net, passed the puck back to Alain Cusson at the point, who returned the favor, setting up Marcoux in front of the net for an easy equalizer.

But it just wasn’t happening for the tribe that night. At 15:01 of the third, Roch Doucet scored the gamewinner.

Netminder Jamie Reeve had left the net to handle the puck near the right comer. He tried to pass it off the boards behind the net, but the puck got caught up behind the net and Patrick Emond swooped in and set up Doucet in front before Reeve could set himself. It was a very tough goal to decide the series.

An empty net goal by Robert Page ce­ mented the victory for UQTR with 12 seconds left.

In the first game at UQTR on Wednesday, McGill failed to answer , the starting bell, and suddenly found , themselves down 3-0. They never fully recovered. Martin Raymond ■scored twice in the second to make it 32, but that was as close as it got. The Redmen only managed only three shots on goal in the final period.

In all key aspects of the series, the ' Redmen did not play to full potential.

All season they have had great suc­ cess, and there is little consolation in not playing well in this series. The Redmen power-play, which had been the most effective in the OUA A, with a 31 %success ratio was shut down by the tight-checking Patriotes, capitaliz­ ing only twice on 21 chances.

The Redmen defence also played a subpar series. Alain Cusson, Mike Wells, Bryan Larkin and Jamie Kompon time and time again were caught outofposition as Patriotes swept down

BY MIKE MARTIN*57 Women’s basketball: The Martlet basketball squad ended its season Fri­ day in its QUBL play-off match by falling to Bishops in Lennoxville, 7557. Leah Haymen played in her last game as aMartlet, andprovided a firstrate effort by scoring 26 points. Fellow Martlet Julie Rousseau contributed 13 points and 8 rebounds. The Martlets were without first-team QUBL all-star Tina Fasone who was sidelined with chickenpox.

The game had started encouragingly.

Up 20-13 at one point, and up nine half way through the firsthalf, the Martlets could not hold on and trailed 32-30 at the half. Two second half runs by Bishops made the second half an up­ hill climb.

However, the release of the first and second QUBL All-Star teams proved more rewarding. Fasone gained the most votes of any player in Quebec

s h o rts and was selected to the first-team for the first time. Leah Haymen and Julie Rousseau captured spots on the sec­ ond-team. For Haymen, it is her third all-star honour, while it is Rousseau’s second.

Swimming: Women’s-In thenational, McGill finished third behind Toronto and Alberta, both of which have more members of the national team swim­ ming for them. McGill ’s sole member, Andrea Nugent, performed impres­ sively, capturing two gold medals, and one silver. Her golds came in the 50m freestyle and the 100m freestyle, while her silver was in the 100m butterfly.

Men s- Ranked ninth going into the meet, they finished eighth. McGill’s best finisher was Rick Cosgrave who won silver in the 200m breaststroke.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday M arch 7,1989

P r e lim in a r y h e a r in g in t o ____

BY RUARI NICHOLSON

.

Five weeks ago, in the January 31 issue of the T r i b u n e , we reported that the hearing for the Rugby probation was taking place and that an expected

.1

outcome was due presently. On Wed­ nesday, March 1, Director of Athletics Robert Dubeau sent a letter to the president of the club, Jay Godsall, claiming there was “other” informa­ tion which had to be examined.

A a r o n ’s S p o r t s P i t WITH AARON MARGOLIS Alright, lets stop the nonsense. At this time last week there were quite a few people saying the McGill Redmen hockey team is as good if not better than the UQTR Patriotes. Well boys and girls, forget it.

When the final buzzer sounded last Friday night at the McConnell Winter Stadium there was no question that McGill had been outplayed, outgoaltended, and outcoached over the two game set.

The Redmen produced one good period of hockey in six periods com­ bined. Players McGill had counted on all season suddenly disappeared. Mario De Benedictis looked totally psyched out. Tim Iannone found the wrong time to go into an extended slump. The defence seemed thoroughly confused and the once highly touted Redmen powerplay must have mistaken last week for spring vacation because they were nowhere to be found.

Other disappointments include goalie Jamie Reeve, who, after play­ ing so brilliantly in the regular season suddenly turned into Mike Palmateer reincarnated when it counted most.

To put it bluntly (as if it isn’t al­ ready) the Redmen fell apart. On two occasions McGill gave up three goals in less than ten minutes. In Game 1 it happened right off the bat and the Redmen could not regroup. In Game 2, after playing a very solid first period McGill came out in the second and performed a superb Toronto Maple

Leaf impersonation.

After the game many reasons were tossed around as to how this debacle was allowed to occur. Two reasons were put forward. One, maybe UQTR just played so well that no one would have beaten them. But let me tell you its reason number two that stands out.

The McGill Redmen were seriously outcoached.

The coaching performances of A1 Grazys and Jean Pronovost resembled that of a Smothers Brothers festival. In Gamel with McGill behind 5-3 the Redmen began taking some very senselesspenalties. After about the third call Pronovost was up on the bench doing his best Don Cherry mimic while Grazys could be seen banging his head on the plexiglass divider. Is that lead­ ership?

Throughout the whole series U QTR was content to stack their blueline not allowing the Redmen forwards to carry the puck into the zone. Did the Redmen change tactics? Not bloody likely.

The funny thing though is thatCoach A1 will likely win OU AA coach of the year. But as someone quipped over a post game beer at Gerts, talent will take you only so far but if you don’t get the proper coaching, forget it.

So once again we get set to close the door on another McGill hockey sea­ son. I say ‘get set’ because the Redmen could very well back into the OUAA finals should York win their series.

However,Don’thold your breath. And if they do get in, who will they face?

Yup , UQTR, so I ’m telling you right now the season is over.
