O R R E S P O N D E N C E ,

? he McG ill C hristian Fellow ship has sponsored displays of anti-abortion propaganda in the foyer of the Arts building on several occasions, the most recent being on March 2, 1989. This dis play is resplendent with the d is gusting, retouched foetal "photo graphs” th a t we have all seen be fore, and such “religious” queries as “Does God forgive abortion?" S p o n s o r i n g

e s s y

p i c t u r e s

T his type of display uses the

techniques of advertising, propa ganda and sensationalism. O ur com plaint is not primarily an ideo logical one. It would be ju s t ethi cally irresponsible for another school group to set up a Pro-Choice display complete with gory pic tures of women m utilated by backstreet or self-inflicted abortions. Nor are we attem pting to limit "free speech". O ur complaint is one of offense. One may c h o o s e to view abortion in this graphic and bi ased way, b u t when it is displayed in a hallway th a t hundreds of students walk through several times a day, we do not choose, we are forced to see. Last year a t Concordia there were com plaints made about the bloody and graphic displays being p u t u p around the university by Israeli and Palestinian students. Both the pictures and the one sided views offended many s tu dents. The problem w as solved by partitioning off an area in the school and allowing the groups to put their displays up side by side. O ther students could choose to enter and see both views. We suggested to one of the m en a t the abortion display th a t they set up in the McGill C hristian Fellowship room. He said he'd never thought of that. As of yet, we have been unable todiscoverw hichlevelofthe McGill adm inistration allows or vetoes this sort of graphic propaganda. We suggest th a t concerned members of the McGill community write to the building director a t Dawson Hall, room 216. It is im portant th a t McGill students - especially th e hundreds or thousands of women here who have had abor tions - be protected from this side of sensationalist harassm ent.

Concordia's brawl F riday, F ebruary 24, we a t tended the McGill-Concordia hockey playoff game a t Loyola n

L O V E

cam pus. Although hockey is a violent sport, the violence usually stays be tween the hockey players themselves. We were shocked with the realization ently a t Con th a t a p p a r nût so. Never cordia this is before have we w itn e s s e d such blatan t brutality at a game. college hockey second interDuring the McGill engim ission, the a tte m p t to neers, in an raise McGill spirit, wrongcently, went fully, butinnoan d played onto the ice w ith a nerf b r o o m b a ll a brief time of ball. After only 1= C o n c o r d i a “playing", the asked them announcer C o n c o rd ia to leave the ice. o guards prose curity out onto the ceeded to rush the engineers ice and shoved tion of the in the direc , exit gate. One i guard, how ever, w ent beyond the call of duty and lashed out violently a t a McGill engi neer. He pushed him down on the ice, took the broomball stick and th ru st it into the engineer's abdomen. The engineer did not physically threaten the guard. This act of vio lence was u n ju st and uncalled for. The rather immense guard pounded on the engineer, despite the McGill su p porter screaming, “Get off of hlmll" The commotion continued for a few minutes; but, settled down before the third period started. However, the Concordia security guards were not through "harassing" the McGill students. Immediately af ter the game, another McGill student

was severely beaten by the sam e guard who Injured the engineer. The attack was unprovoked and left the student’s face covered with blood and requiring stitches. The guard th en turned on a photographer, recording the incident on film. The guard sm ashed the pho tographer’s cam era and verbally threat ened the photographer. Dumbfounded by this display of ir rational behavior for a security guard, we feel we cannot let this u n ju st oc curence go by w ithout public notice. Incidents su ch as these should not occur. The function of a security guard Is to keep the peace in the stands w ithout violence as the first resort.

4 .R oll Your Own, M arch 14T H , 1989

L E T T E R S

Only if the security guard is threatened physically should he react in the sam e m anner. In this particular case, the secu rity guard w as not in any way endangered physically by any of his victims. Not only was he twice as big as any of them, b u t they did not incite su ch frenzied behavior. They never expected such an o u tb u rst and were u n prepared and therefore unable to react in self defence. W eareoutragedlll Does Con cordia University advocate such behavior by their employees? We hope not. It is imperative th at Concordia recognizes this misdeed and th a t they correct it by com pensating the victims in some way. A review of the Con cordia security is in order as well.

would write insulting crap (to me personally), instead of boring crap (which appeals to no one, and w astes trees). In the meantime, it looks like I am going to rack up an enorm ous phone bill talking to my mother, whom, as I am sure you have ascertained, I hate. E rin Berry U1 A rts P.S. Getting letters published in the T r i b u n e is such an ego trip for me. It m u st be sim ilar to run ning for stu d en t office. O nce again I am committing an act of narcissism by writing a n other letter, to protest a letter criticizing me and my pals, and also to complain about the poor quality of Paul Horwitz's “The Disneyland Tapes". I realize now th a t my approach to attacking Mr. Horwitz was all wrong. McGill's newest, an d I might add, finest publication, the R e d H e r r i n g , has captured the tru e essence of Mr. Horwitz's latest column, su ch th a t I find it impossible to form any co herent criticism. I've read this column over three times and still cannot fathom as to w hat Mr. Horwitz is trying to say. I there fore conclude th a t it is crap. W hat shocks me even more, is th at these colum ns are steadily more unin telligible each week. As for Mr. Carlson calling me and my “cronies" dickheads, I gen erally Ignore people who resort to juvenile nam e calling, b u t I'll make an exception in this case. Firstly, I think Mr. Carlson is right th at everyone does not know th a t TV is mindless drivel. But I do think th a t anyone attending a higher level institute such as McGill Uni versify, does know about the w orthlessness of television (ex cept for a few programs, such as S ta r T r e k and D a v e L e t t e r m a n ) and does not need someone tell ing them about it week in and week out. Write about aspects of culture th a t university students are interested in, was the point th a t was being made. Secondly, accusing me of narcissism seems ridiculous, in view th a t Paul Horwitz’s column is nothing more than Narcissus himself looking into a pool of w ater and falling in love

The nightm are continues. Even in a big brassy city such as Mon tréal, which likes to think of itself as groovy and intellectual, such scary things are commonplace. Take McGill University’s recent S tu d en t Society elections, for example.W hat at first might seem to be a pack of keen chess-club types trying to whine their way into overpaid ceremonial positions of self-gratification and résum é-build ing becomes a m uch more insidi ous and frightening phenomenon: institutionalized nepotism. To use the political science language, the SSMU Executive Committee is a self-perpetuating oligarchical b u reau-technocracy. Plus, there's incest. Any discussion of such a d an gerous social condition m ust nec essarily be prefaced by the steady consumption of m uch Gin and more Tequila. Wine is for the m uses, and m using was certainly not called for. As the election results crawled in on Thursday night, R o l l Y o u r O w n reporters were doing a little research with the aid of perform a n c e -e n h a n c in g c o n s u m p tio n goods. O ur marginal propensity to consume was great. All the im portant candidates were there at that local fraternity hangout and postmod McDonald’s, Gert’s. All im portant former candi dates and executives were there. All hangers-on, obsequious posi tion seekers, weasels, toadies and self-appointed political cognoscenti were also there, and occasionally you could tell the difference be tween them. All of u s were there,

It took until about 2 lh 3 0 for the dedicated staff of Wedge-appointed ballot-counters to come up with the first set of results.

To those of u s who were still both still in the ru n n in g and still con scious, things proceeded to w ax te n se . Some candi dates took to drink, others to in h a lin g prim e P eru vian flake, but m ost can d i dates took to other candi dates.

large enough m andate is th a t he gets the office, b u t needs a referendum to get perm ission to go to the bathroom . O ther winners: Morisset, by a kazillion votes, won the University Affairs position, dooming u s all to horrific quantities of good cheer: while J-C Viens, the guy who would have a kind word for Ted Bundy, took Finance. Every referendum w ent the way th a t the p resent SSMU executive h ad hoped, a n event which caused a mild seizure in execs M aria Battaglia and Nancy Côté. The QPIRG board of governors election took a little longer, since the wise QPIRG volun teers h ad apparently forgotten to bring a calculator (one SSMU staf fer’s opinion of the QPIRG vote-counters? “Assholes. ), b u t by the time they arrived everybody w as far too wailed to notice. And so the Games of the SSMU come to a another well-deserved close, a s did Gert's, b u t not before R o l l Y o u r O w n staffers w ere able to get in a few terrible rounds of pool on the cocktail-napkin sized "tables" a t the Shallow End of th e pub, an d to reach a few conclusions ab o u t the elections, an d ab o u t next year’s executive. First off: short. Not th a t this is a bad thing, b u t three of the five SSMU executives for next y ear would have to pray to reach 5'3”. I m ean, sure, they can govern, b u t imagine how badly the SSMU intercollegiate executive m em ber basketball team will do next season. S eriously, though, this is a group of people who are all quite com petent, well-meaning, and who have good ideas for change a t McGill; b u t don't expect any h u g e changes. The sta tu s quo for th ese folks is ju s t a thing to be m ade better; hell, th a t’s why we a t Complacent, Cowardly U. elected them . Until we really w a n t a . difference, we'll have quality leadership, b u t no con sen su s an d no paradise. In the end, the final word on the elections has to go to Louie the porter. According to T enenbaum , Louie h a s called the elections cor rectly for th e la st three years, and got it right this year. How does he do it? The sam e way I do - heavy drinking, and a serious need for sleep.

azz has precious few giants remaining. Far too many great talents, such as the alto sax genius Charlie Parker, succum bed to th e s e lf-d e stru c tio n th a t thrived in the jazz of the 40s and 50s. ■Dizzy” (John Birks) Gillespie is a fortunate excep tion. With boundless gusto and hum our, he has outlasted all b u t a few from the bebop school, and continues to bring his music and unique zest for life to listeners everywhere. LastW ednesday's perform ance by the legendary trum peter featured some old clas sics an d a taste of the sound

fromA N i g h t i n H a v a n a , his new film which opened in Montreal last Friday. After several delays and a lack lustre introduction, the band en tered and settled into a funky groove. Dizzy walked on and began to play in a way th a t w as alm ost anti-clim actic. His tra d e m a rk sound w as buried u n d er echo and reverb, emerging only towards the end of the tune. His best solo in the first num ber w as unfortunately on the cowbell. Dizzy’s playing sounded brittle and tired, b u t he performed with ease and lyricism, leaving the screaming high notes to Arturo Sandoval, a C uban trum peter who played with unfailing conviction. Sam Rivers, a veteran of the sixties avant garde jazz scene, gave the

audience tension and fire on the soprano sax, and a memorable rendition of ‘R o u n d M i d n i g h t on the tenor. The som ew hat younger rhythm section w as solid, but tended to resort to dynamics and pyrotecnics when inspiration was lacking. Gillespie's irrepresible antics throughout the show were unex pected. His 71-year old pelvis gy rated wildly, he danced, shouted, and hugged bandm em bers after great solos. The atm osphere Dizzy created gave rise to several unfor gettable moments. When the time cam e to introduce his bebop masterpiece,A N i g h t i n T u n i s i a , he proclaimed th a t "it h as withstood th e vasticities of the contingent world and mooooowes in an oddessey into the realm of the m etaphysical...no shit!!' During the tune, I couldn’t help b u t think of how many tim es it had been played over the last forty five years, and with whom. Dizzy’s solo was the best of the evening during this song. He occasionally soared into

the stratosphere, spinning o u t lines like those he and Charlie Parker unleashed on the unsuspecting public years ago Those who managed to catch

last Wednesday’s show were treated to a evening of jazz by one of its m ost im portant inno vators, and perhaps its great est living figure.

layer's Theatre is politely referred to as an “intimate space" b ut when it comes to dance, 'intim ate' is not a word dancers are fond of hearing. Never theless, the McGill Contemporary Dance Ensemble did an admirable job of putting the Player’s space to maximum use for their production entitled T he Language of Dance’. T he show ran last week end beginning on Wednesday and show ed that, despite the oncoming ava lanche of re p o rts, essay s and ex a m s, McGill students still have a great deal of creative spirit left. The programme was well-varied with a m ixture of ballet, jazz and some rath er pessi mistic modem. 'Bamboleo' was the ensemble’s tip-o-the-hat to tap dance b u t tap's more impressive and intricate steps were sorely missed here. Fred Astaire may not have cu t it with the Gipsy Kings' S panish rhythm s b u t some u n abashed flamenco foot stomping would have been a welcome addi tion. All the show pieces were cho reographed by members of the en semble (save one by a former McGill student).

As the audience vainly tried to sm other its giggles during ‘La Valse', four women were successively seduced by one very robotic and m urder ous-looking m an and then driven crazy by him (in fact I failed to see how any one could not be).

he McGill D epartm ent of English has banded to gether to focus world a t tention on the plight of today's native people in T h e E c s t a s y o f R i t a J o e .

The story centers around the tragic struggle of Rita Jo e (gritty Cybele Chivian, fresh from her trium ph in English & The Stage), a young Indian girl who h as left the reservation for the city. She soon tu rn s to prostitution and becomes a victim of the cruel injustices of white society. The action of the play takes place in two locations. Rita Jo e is repeatedly found in a courtroom answering charges of theft and pros titution. The other scenes in the play serve to provide m uch of the background and attem pt to explain how Rita Jo e h as come to b e the person th a t she is. As the story unfolds we are in troduced to the rest of the cast. Rita Jo e is the daughter of David Jo e ( the legendary Simon Oliver) who is the Chief of the reservation. Rita Joe's boyfriend Jam ie Paul ( sm oul dering pop idol Zaa Nkweta) is ‘an angry young m an' who rebels against everything for w hich the Indian nation stands. Together, Rita Jo e and Jam ie Paul m anage to al ienate themselves from the rest of the tribe. The legendary Joel Miller has agreed to direct the piece, and with th a t step, the McGill D rama de p artm ent h a s achieved the notori ety to m ake them an effective lobby.

However, working with university students is not new to Miller as he has directed productions for the University of Winnipeg for the last six years. Miller commented th at he is “very impressed with the stu d en ts [at McGill). I don't know if it's normal b u t 1 love working with students." Working with students after having dealt w ith professionals w as a chal lenge for Miller b u t the results have been ju s t as rewarding. “I said on the very first day th a t I'm w as going to treat them as professionals. T hat's the only way th at they can learn. I fell very good about this and I feel th a t this production is on the par with a professional piece." The play did indeed feature some excellent performances. Of particu lar interest was the moving por trayal of Jam ie Paul by Zaa Nk weta. Nkweta’s powerful perform ance constantly clawed a t the audience's attention an d kept the tension of the play at a phenom enal level. CybeleChivian’s performance

as Rita Joe serves as a touching complement to Nkweta. She has managed to find the soul of her character and superbly bares it for all the world to see. The com bination of these two charac ters is the key to the power of this play. The final piece in this dram atic puzzle is provided by the performance of Kevin Say lor as the Magistrate. His con sta n t dialogues w ith Rita Joe help the play achieve its goal of promoting some sense of social awareness. The whole cast p u ts in ex cellent performances leading to an overall feeling of satisfaction w hen you leave. The play is moving, and it is disturbing. The ending is tragic and leaves the audience with many ques tions. Yet the level of dram a is so intense th a t you can not help b u t enjoy yourself. For those who enjoy true dram a, and w ant to help w ith a worthy cause this is production is not to be missed. The Ecstasy of Rita Jo e p la y in g a tr e f r o m

He spent more time in the doc’s office doing his pin cushion impersonation th an out here on the field". Daillie also implicated quarterback Bryan Fuller and running back Michael Soles in less frequent use of steroids. “Soles w ouldn’t have had a chance in hell of getting drafted last week w ith o u t th o s e h o rs e horm ones”, Daillie said. D octor J amie B.H. R astaphan, Lo -

russo's personal doctor from Haiti, has been called repeatedly to face the inquiry board. It seem s R asta p han is out of the country.

positive for steroids after the Q ueen's game. Coach Daillie firstbecame suspicious when he found th a t Lorusso had been spending every night in the stables at Blue Bonnets Racetrack. Soon after, Lorusso was seen with his date, Quick-n-Easy (who by the way, paid $21.50, $15.70, and $9.80 across the board in last Saturday’s Pacer's Cup). The two were spotted at various troughs around town, in cluding Annie's, Gert's, and both Peels. A farm hand in Northern O n tario spotted Lorusso an d Ben Jo h n so n with their dates romping about in the hay ju s t two weeks ago. Pete was on top of the world. T he inquiry, however has changed

all that. Quick-n-Easy could not stand the constant press attention wherever they went. Pete responded by slugging four photographers outside Blue Bonnets. Things came to a head when Quick-n-Easy re-

fused to let Lorusso ride h er in the $75,000 Handicap last Saturday. She preferred to have jockey Rick Zeron ride her. Although she won the race and paid a whopping $121.74 exacta , Lorusso was crushed. He spent the next week eating oats and crying. His doctor Jam ie B.H. Rastaphan soothed him, feeding him sugar cubes dipped in hallucinogenic substances. An anonym ous friend of Lorusso's, who lives a t Psi U com mented: “It was horrible, he would nail horseshoes to his hands and feet, keeping the entire frat awake every night stomping around. I need time to studyl On Thursday pub nite we had to lock Pete in his room, fill his trough with Carlsberg Light, and keep Mr. E d reru n s going on the VCR ju s t to calm him down". A recent road trip to Syracuse was spoiled when “Pete grabbed the wheel an d drove down to Saratoga because he had heard about this lightning fast two year old filly", he said.

rags to riches to rags these days. One m inute you are on top of the world, starting offensive lineman for the defending national cham pi ons: the next m inute you are wear ing blinders and begging people to ride you. The Doobin Inquiry into drugs in sports will conclude its hearings in a few weeks, ju s t in time for the first leg of the Triple Crown, the Run for the Roses, the K entucky Derby a t C hurchill Downs. The early money is on Pete.

Due to the extrem ely high demand for office sp a ce in the University Centre, it would be highly appreciated if groups, which do not absolutely need office sp a ce , refrain from requesting an office.

since the latest regurgita tion of You-Know-Who's material. Last time, if you will recall, someone taped the oldies on CD. In the vacuum, natives of perpetual Beatleland have been getting cranky. Noone has even erected a statue! W hat really seem s to have sparked this Beatle’s rem inder is a secretly banned R o l l Y o u r O w n poll: Did the Beatles really write the Club Med jingle? Al though we are unable to p ub lish the results, let's ju s t let you know th a t someone would be em barrassed if we did. T hanks to David Chapm an's virtuoso mixing, this album is innovative. The I m a g i n e track is a rap, the work of Schooly D, with a sensitive over dub of Jo h n Lennon's funeral service. The rest of the album is predict able enough: L o v e M e D o , S h e L o v e s You, and M o n e y C a n ' t B u y Y o u L o v e . The special catch with this album is still to come: Play side two on speed 66.6, and on the last cu t you will hear the ghostly voice of Jo h n Len non singing " H a n d s U p B a b y , H a n d s

In the first single released from the album, N o T h a n k Y o u , I D o n ' t D r a w , they reit erate their dedication to th e bleak and skinny. Esquino, the lead image projector, describes it a s "some thing th a t has to be done, as to day’s top-forty stations are getting too pompous and fat sitting on their collective asses." Meanwhile one of the more popu lar tracks on the B-side of the album, G o i n g H o m e t o N e w B r u n s w i c k , causes even more confusion with its chorus “I’m going to Cancun, I'm going to France, maybe I won't be a t home, b u t a t least I won't be in Toronto."

This m as terpiece is a collage of styles th a t has the truly powerful effect of four guys ju s t fingerpainting the walls in m ud an d Crayola.
