U n d e r f u n d in g S o lu tio n P ro p o s e d >y S tép h a n e S t-O n ge M cG ill Administrationhas proposed i solution to university underfunding o r the 1 9 8 9-1990 academ ic year. The 58-pageplan, entitled ‘Versunfinancen e n t éq u ita b le d e s u n iv e r sité s québécoises’, outlines a two-phased proposal to finance the accumulated debts o f the Q uebec university system and to revise the current funding for mula w hich has m ade major research institutions such as M cG ill suffer heavily. The plan provides for an in jection o f $48.7 m illion to correct ‘historical base budget’ inequalities, and o f $ 5 0 m illion to place the Q uebec system closer to par w ith Ontario uni versities and create a new base for funding. Dr. Paul Davenport, V ice-P rinicipal (Planning and Computer Services), collaborated with M ichel Robillard, Director o f the U niversity Planning O ffice, in writing the report. H e b e lieves other university administrations w ill accept the proposal. “Other university administrators m ay not agree on the percentages in v olved , yet members o f CREPUQ (C onference des Recteurs et Princi paux des U niversités du Q uebec) sup

port the principles underlining the findings o f the Report,” stated D aven port. H e added that there m ay be “d is cussion about the econ om ies o f scale for other U niversities”. A decision by the M inis erofH igh er Education and S cien ce, Claude Ryan, is not expected until later this fall. “The M inister has not com m ented on the recom m endations, nor does any one expect him to do so ,” said D aven port. B efore m aking a decision , the M inister m ust "receive advice from CREPUQ and the individual univer sity adminstrators, discuss these pro posals and the M inistry’s ow n v iew s, and then table its decision ,” continued Davenport. Luc Rhéaume, Press Attaché to M in ister Ryan, stated that the M inister has read the proposal and is finalizing his position. “Each university has a sp ecific way o f seeing the problems. M cG ill w ish es to receive 50 percent o f the fund in crease,” says Rhéaume. H ow ever, M cG ill and other similar universities with strong research pro grams have been disproportionately burdoned by the present funding for m ula, and any revision m ust take this

into account. The “Green Report” suggests funding increases in teach in g, research, and support staff costs, indirect research costs financing,post graduate degrees expenses and the varying costs o f different faculty are the principles to be agreed upon. The report proposes W eighted Stu dent Units to m easure average costs o f various university programs. For ex am ple, various “c y cles” o f education are weighted at different values in order to reflect the varied costs o f separate programs. A s a result, the relative w eights are ‘ 1 ’ for undergraduate programs, ‘2’ for m aster’s degrees, and ‘3’ for doctoral program, m ulti plied by the number o f full-time equi valent students, or FTE’s , and the weights o f the four proposed disciplinary d ivi sion; peri-m edical, ‘3.2’, m edical, ‘ 3 ’, laboratory,‘ 1.5 ‘, and non-laboratory, ‘ 1 ’. M cG ill, in addition to “carrying” a disproportionate percentage o f gradu ate students, also operates large pro grams in such disciplin es as m edicine and engineering, which cost much more to run per student than arts or m anage m ent programs. In 1986, som e o f the w eights w ere m anagem ent, 0.7 8 , arts, 1.07, applied scien ce, 1.45, m edicine.

S ad ie's m open w ith a sm ile b y A n d rew G reen M cG ill’s new est tabagie, Sad ie’s III, located in the upper cam pus, has received an enthusiastic response and is “m ore than breaking even ” finan cially, according to S ad ie’s manager D aw n B on n ell. B onn ell has com piled sales figures for the tabagie, w hich has been operat ing from 11 am to 2pm in the basem ent o f C hancellor D ay H all since Septem ber 6, and she says they “bode w ell for the year.”

S ad ie’s in the M cC onnell E ngi neering B uilding, is also expected to operate around the break-even point this year, and B onnell estim ates that the original Sadie’s w ill m ake perhaps as m uch as a $ 10,000profit this year at its U niversity Centre location. The addition o f the new S ad ie’s location has been part o f what B onnell d e scribed to the Tribune as “ the best back-to-school ever seen ” for the ta bagies.

Photo by B. Hapi In the past, Sad ie’s I and II have not consistentlym ade profits. L osses have been borne by the Students Society o f M cG ill U niversity, says B onn ell. This year, she hopes S ad ie’s w ill be able to make som e m oney for the Society. The new tabagie appears to have been w ell-received by students, as sales continue to im prove w ith tim e. “It’s a great idea,” com m ented S S M U V ic e President (U niversity A ffairs) M aria B attaglia. “It’s time that upper campus had a chance” to buy S ad ie’s item s easily, she told the Tribune. A former president o f the Law Students Society, Battaglia says that Law students are happy with the new service, and that it is hoped that Sad ie’s III w ill also serve students at other upper cam pus build ings, such as the Stewart B io lo g y B uilding or the M acIntyre Education Building. Sad ie’s III was installed at a cost o f less than $ 1000, and is staffed by Law Students, thus creating jo b s, according to Bonnell.

Plans for a third tabagie in the upper cam pus w ere considered tw o years ago, w hen Battaglia was w ith the Law Students S ociety, but at that time the costs o f installing a third Sadie’s were estim ated to be too high, at over $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 in dollars o f that year. H ow ever, recently a large room in Chancel lor D ay Hall w as sectioned into twe parts, as the larger part w as renovated to becom e a gam es room . This al low ed the installation costs to be greatly reduced to less than $ 1000. The SS M U execu tive decision to open S ad ie’s III w as not reached until late A ugust, and as aresult the tabagie is still currently operating in a m ake shift manner. B onnell says that Sadie’s III is hoping to im prove its display, variety o f goods, and accessibility. The 11 am to 2pm hours o f operation may be expanded in the future. Sad ie’s is also planning a ribbon cutting opening cerem ony for its new location in O ctober.

W hat w e are spending on certain programs m ight not reflect what w e ‘should’ be spending,” says D av enport. H e adds that the numbers do not determine the internal distribution o f funds within the university, but the breakdown o f funds proposed to the Ministry. Student Society V -P External Mark Cameron agrees with the findings o f the report. H e adds that the 1986 fig ures apply only to incom ing students o f that year, and the new w eights w ill apply to all students. A s w ell as teaching costs, the report proposes that the M inistry finance all indirect research costs incurred from research funded by ‘ex cellen ce’ grants from private organizations. These costs include administrative, library, opera tion, building, and equipm ent m ainte nance costs. A t present, M cG ill re c eiv es 30.3 percent o f the estim ated $92.8 m illion in indirect costs o f the Q uebec system , w hile U niversité de M ontreal receives 19.3 percent and C oncordia 4.61 percent. A s w ell, m edical research grants, o f w hich M cG ill receives 33.4 percent and U o f

M receives 17 percent, are calculated in the report. Percentage Distribution o f T each ing, Research and Total Costs

Institutions such as M cG ill suffer heavily “The greatest amount o f funds are distributed for teaching,” says D aven port. The V ice-Principal is hopeful that the M inistry w ill find the report and the new findings helpful as it tries toextricate itself from the w reckage o f an apathetic education policy. Perhaps Dr. D avenport’s and Dr. Robillard’s equitable and w ell-researched report w ill be read and digested by the bu reaucrats at the M inistry and the L ib eral G overnm ent’s sham eful neglect o f the Q uébec university system w ill com e to an end.

The M c G ill Tribune, Tuesday September 27,1988

B o G k ic k s o f f y e a r by P au l M ich ell The first Board o f G overnors m eeting o f the year w as held last M onday, and m any issues o f interest w ere discussed. Three previously-approved research contracts were approved, n ew en rollm ent statistics w ere presented, and the application fee was raised from $15 to $ 25, as w as announced last w eek in the Tribune. Principal D avid Johnston presented the new enrollm ent statistics to the Board, and they reveal som e interest ing trends. O verall, enrollm ent is up (surprise, surprise), w ith certain facul ties increasing rapidly and others lev elling off. This year, there was a higher yield form anagem ent and engineering students (this is adm issions depart m ent lin go for a higher percentage o f students accepting offers o f adm ission to M cG ill programs.) Arts and Science enrollm ent as increased substantially, and m any students are apparently choosing to com plete their programs in four years instead o f three. This is also the first year that there are more Arts and S cien ce students from out side Q uébec than from w ithin, w hich Principal Johnston saw as an encour aging trend. The Principal also spoke o f a plan to unite Q uébec business and com munity leaders behind a plan to pressure the provincial governm ent into revising its m iserly education policy. M cG ill is attempting to enlist betw een 300 and

350 “ ambassadors” from all over Q uébec to let the Liberal governm ent know that M cG ill and other Q uébec universities are hurting badly from the underfunding crisis. It was also announced that D ean o f Students G opnik w as working on a plan to create a more formal orienta tion procedure for incom ing students and their parents. The Principal and m embers o f the Board lauded the e f forts o f those responsible for the suc cess o f “Splash B ack ’ 88”. There w as som e concern on the part o f Undergraduate Rep. to B oG G eoff M oore as to the nature o f the three research contracts w hich had been approved by the Executive C om m ittee o f the Board over the summer. O ne o f them, with the “D efen ce R esearch Establishm ent” sounded particularly om inous. H ow ever, M oore w as as sured by V P A cadem ic Freedman that the research was to be conducted into developing tires for military and in dustrial veh icles for u se on tundra without tearing up that fragile e c o sy s tem. A 1arge presentation on the new M cG ill proposal on the Q uébec university underfunding crisis w as also made (see article in this issue,) and then the Board m oved into closed session , w hich e n tailed kicking this reporter out on the seat o f his pants without so m uch as a donut.

“We have developed the technology for putting building designs on computer. This eliminates hand drawing, and also permits simulations to test a building before it is built. Americans are interested in this capability. The Free Trade Agreement will make possible new freedoms for many Canadian professionals to offer their services in the U.S. In addition, border crossing restrictions will be relaxed. I believe young Canadian professionals will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in the U.S. while continuing to live in Canada. Canadians are getting ready for Free Trade. The Government of Canada is there to help.

O n t a r io s t u d e n t s m a d a s h e ll T o T h e E ditor: Paul M ich ell's article ignored a few important points w ith respect to recent Ontario high school graduates. His description o f the process o f reorgan ising the Ontario Secondary School system is incom plete. H e writes that “Grade 13 is in the process o f gradu ally being phased out”. In fact the “phase-out” w as quite abrupt. Ontario students w ho graduated lastyearcom e from on e o f the tw o programs: either they finished Grade 13 w ith an Ontario Secondary School Honours Graduation D iplom a (O SSH G D ) like all students

com ing to M cG ill from Ontario in previous years (including Mr. M ichell and m yself); or, they finished Grade 12under the new system ,having accu m ulated the Ontario A cadem ic Credits (O A C ’s) which Mr. M ichell describes. After this year, all graduating students headed to university w ill have passed the new O A C program, whether they ch oose to com plete it in the four years originally anticipated by the M inistry o f Education or in 5 years. The latter option is anecessity for students w h ose school boards have not responded quickly enough to the new regulations,

S tu d e n ts s h o u ld g e t c r e d it T o th e E d itor: Upon arriving here in M ontréal and I am on e o f those infam ous Ontario talking with various arts students, I Arts students w ho ch ose to com e to have found this claim to be com pletely M cG ill despite the fact that I am not false and unsubstantiated. getting credit for m y grade thirteen Just to add insult to injury, A m eri courses. T he fact that I shall be at this can students are permitted to take A d sch ool for four years instead o f three vanced Placem ent tests w hich enable irritates m e in the sense that I think the them to reduce the number o f credits tim ing o f the M cG ill Department o f required to earn a B .A . N o such oppor A d m ission s’s im plem entation o f the tunity was ever offered to m e, even p olicy is both illogical and unfair. though I took an extra year w ithin a D o y o u not think that it makes much system noted as being one o f the finest mre sen se to im plem ent the policy in North America. n ext Septem ber when no more “o ffi A ll in all, not only w ill the tim ing o f c ia l” grade thirteens are applying to the im plem entation p olicy co st m e an universities? After all, this year the other year o f m y life, but another six to course content and educational require seven thousand dollars in school and m ents in Ontario are dramatically dif living expenses. ferent from what existed in the 1987/ L et’s put an end to this d iscrim ina 88 academ ic year. tion and show som e consistency in In addition, I was told at a m eeting p olicy towards O ntario students. for potential M cG ill students that Ontario students w ere having a tough P atrick G lad n ey tim ^ o m p le tin ^ B jA r ir U h r e ^ e a r e ^ _____ U1 A rts

and have failed to design a curriculum under w hich the O A C ’s can b e co m pleted within four years. T hereson for the overlap o f the tw o programs in the 1988 graduating class is obvious: stu dents w ho started high school fiv e years ago in the old five-year program have finished in the sam e year as stu dents w ho started four years ago in the new four year program. Ontario secondary sch ool students in the new program have been m is treated by the M inistry and Boards o f Education w ho im plem ented a new program without properplans for tran sitions (hence the students w h o con tinue to take fiv e years— or “d o Grade 13”— in what is essentially a Grade 12 program). N o w , students w ho gradu ated in Ontario under the old program (a sizeable minority o f this year ’s class) are being penalized by M cG ill. A s Mr. M ichell points out, they have the sam e level o f education as their peers in previous years, but are treated as i f they had com pleted only a four-year. Grade 12 program. A sim ple solution w ould be a one-tim e adjustment to the program requirements for the students affected since, beginning next year, no more students w ill be granted the Grade 13, O SSH G D diplom a, and a 120credit program w ill therefore be ap propriate for all students arriving from Ontario high schools. The U niversity has chosen to ignore this problem , with significant effects on the m any O SSH G D students now in their first year here. Mr. M ichell writes that the M cG ill Department o f A dm issions “cannot be expected to allow itse lf to cater to the idiosyncra sies o f a disorganized provincial edu cation system ,” but it should respond fairly to the needs o f its students, and in the case o f last year’s Grade 13 graduates, it has ob viou sly failed to do

A r tic le 5 8 : th e d e n ia l o f a

Q u a lity

fu n d a m e n ta l r ig h t by L o u is D u ssau lt* The Supreme Court judgem ent con cerning A rticle 58 o f B ill 101 is im m i nent. There is n o doubt that it w ill confirm the judgem ent o f the Q uébec Court o f Appeals w hich unanim ously declared that the A rticle 5 8 , w hich states that any language excep t French is forbidden on com m ercial sign s, goes against both the Q uébec Charter o f Rights and Freedoms and the Cana dian Charter o f Rights and Freedoms. B oth Charters hold that the freedom o f expression is a fundamental right. And according to the Q uébec Court o f A ppeals, this right encom passes the right to language. This postulate is recognized throughout the world, as not on e country forbids, as a general rule, the use o f another language but the official language on com m ercial signs. T hose w ho disagree w ith this state m ent ought to present to us valid e x am ples o f law s from other countries. The inability to provide such exam ples is so real that the proponents o f Article 58 have avoided talking about it in international circles, as it is this Article w hich discredits B ill 101 andim punes the honour o f Q uébec. In the face o f all o f this, the C onseil de la langue française w hich seem s to thrive on embarrassing the G overn m ent, found a supposed case o f ‘lan

guage im position’ in M exico. W hile admitting that the G overnm ent o f M exico says tiiat only Spanish m ay be used (w h ile the law never uses the word ‘o n ly ’) in the federal district o f M exico, it is vital to note that an excep tion is made with regards to trademarks, distinct social groups, and words o f various national dialects. The law is aim ed at foreign languages and not national languages; E nglish, like French, is a national language in Q uébec and in Canada. E nglish is an integral part o f the distinct society in Q uébec, as the preamble to B ill 101 states so clearly. It is also vital to note that A rticle 58 o f B ill 101 gives a general restriction, w h ile the M exican law restricts on exception only. M exico is a m arvellous country, but notn ecessarily from a strictly political view point. The M exican legislator disallow s any signs w hich “incite v io len ce” . In M exico, this means all signs against the govenm ent in pow er. The penalties for signs w hich “incite v io len ce” are far m ore num erous and severe, than those w hich punish nonspanish signs. In fact, the dem ocratic system is the one which is punished, regardless o f the language used. It is astounding and shocking that not one o f Q uébec’s intellectuals has not stood up to say that M exico is an

M o r e to th is P a g e th a n w o rd s by D an ielle B alfe A s soon as Canadian p oet P.K Page entered the crowded conference room o f the G uy Favreau Com plex on M onday afternoon, her captivating presence and warmth w as im m edi ately felt. She entertained her audience with selection s from her Journals o f Brazil, the country in w hich she re sided for three years w ith her husband, Canadian ambassador Arthur Irwin, during the 1950s. She then exhibited a cross-section o f her uniquely powerful paintings and brought the presentation to a clo se w ith dramatic readings from

The Glass House Collection. Mrs. P age’s soft English lilt and the m usical quality o f her v o ice m ade her Brazilian experiences com e to life. The vivid im ages w hich she conjured for her audience gave them a sense o f the Brazilian landscape, the people and their custom s. Humour was also used, particularly in the excerpt describing the Carnival m onth in Rio. “A ll Rio is sleeping o ff the orgy o f C am ival.” The impact o f this Brazilian journey abroad spills over to both her paintings and subsequent poetry. Her n eed to record everything new that she saw led to her experim entation with painting. She intially used the felt

nibbbed pen to capture sim ple objects and scenes. She often illustated sw irl ing garden scenes and was also in trigued by the figure o f a floating ship. Gradually, she becam e m ore intricate,

“Most of us walk a ro u n d feeling pretty opaque and th e n su d d e n ly there is a flash of awareness.” com bining o il pastels, etchings and eventually, gold leaf. Her painting “A Kind o f O sm osis” may be seen at the National Gallery w hile “T he Glass H ouse” graces the cover o f her book o f poem s, bearing the sam e name. The audience was particularly m oved by her poetry readings where she illustrated a profound ability to turn the sim ple into the m agical through her refreshing imagination.

W ED N ESD A Y S

Her three year sojourn in Austrailia inspired such works as “C ook’s M oun tains” and “After Rain” where she beautifully and delicately describes the m ystical quality o f its landscape. She explained the intensity o f her images by com m enting “I think all o f us have heightened m om ents o f perception. M ost o f us walk around feelin g pretty opaque and then suddenly there is a flash o f awareness.” She treated the crowd to a reading o f a new poem still in need o f finishing touches entitled “Lily on the Patio”. A number o f her selections used irony to reveal her m essage; the m ost poignant w as the hard-hitting “Suffering”. A s the crowd dispersed from the C onference room there w as a sense o f aw e at Mrs. P age’s poise, grace and perceptions o f both the past and the present. At the sam e time, one was aware o f her genuine warmth, charm and hum aness. T he accom plishm ents o f this poet, artist and novelist inspire one to seek m ore sincerely for those m om ents o f heightened perception. Works by P.K. Page include: The M etal and the R ow er (Governor General's Award 1954), Brazilian Journal, The G lass H ouse, T he Sun and the M oon (1946).

by K elly G allagh er-M ack ay B efore the opening credits roll in Danny H uston’s first film , Mr. North, there is a sm all vignette style scen e in w hich w e m eet an extrem ely patient young man reading a great classic to a crow d o f obnoxious brats. W hen the insolence o f the children finally gets out o f hand, our baby-faced hero d is ciplines them in their errant w ays with m ild bursts o f electricity. Leaving everyone on the Rhode Island estate baffled and som ew hat reformed, Mr. North, clad in saintly w hite, straddles his b icycle and rides aw ay, utterly un scathed and in total control. A fter that scene, the only real rea son to stay for the film is to gaze at the various stars w ho continuously adorn the screen. A s far as plot g o es, that v i gnette tells the tale. A s for subtle build up o f relationships betw een the char acters, that scen e has it in a nutshell. W hat else does one look for in a m ovie? Sets, costum es? The episode before the credits takes place on the gently sloping law n o f a beautiful Rhode Island m ansion. The rest o f the m ovie takes place in and around beau tiful Rhode Island m ansions, save a scen e or tw o at the local Y M C A .

Gorillas in the Mist is

the story o f D ian F ossey, fam ed expert and protec tor o f the endangered m ountain gorillas o f Africa. The film is based m ostly upon F ossey’s 1983autobiographyofthesam e title. B eca u se o f the controversy sur rounding M iss F ossey during her struggles to save w hat she cam e to view as her gorillas, and to the tragic nature o f her death, there seem ed a good chance that her life could be m ade into a strong film . T w o H ollyw ood studios w ere very interested in presenting that story, U ni versal and Warner Brothers. So inter ested that instead o f com peting they decided to m ake the m ovie a joint ven ture - a rare, and p ossibly even historic event. A dd to the film British director M ichael A pted (Coal Miner'sDaughter, Gorky Park), and Oscar-nom inated ac tress Sigourney W eaver as F ossey, and it isn ’t surprising that this m ovie has sparked so m uch attention. Unfortunately, Gorillas in the Mist is a film y o u should stay away from unless y o u are prepared to liv e with its many w eaknesses. O ne o f the major problems w ith the film is that the makers couldn’t seem to get a grasp on D ian F o ssey ’s story. She led such a challenging life, had m any staunch allies and even steel ier en em ies, that the film wavers be tw een depicting her as a Christ figure in the first half, and as a person w hose ob session drove her insane in the second portion o f the m ovie. Even if the inten tion w as to show her descending into m adness (a reality not agreed upon), the

T h e re a re so m e f ilm s y o u h a t e to d i s l i k e . G o r illa s

is o n e

o f th e m . ju n gle to m eet the gorillas. It is with these apes, and especially w ith the way W eaver affectionately relates to them, that the film shines in its portrayal. It is the lo v e for these animals that made D ian F ossey spend eighteen years o f her life livin g among them, protecting them from poachers, tourists, and the rich

looking for souvenir trophies to show o ff to their bourgeois friends. W ithout her, it is quite conceivable that the m ountain gorillas w ou ld be extinct to day. But the outrage on e should feel about the situations in w hich F ossey is placed is muted; m uted b y an e x ce ssiv e story that leaves too m any elem ents open, a plot that fails to compress eighteen years o f dedication into an already lon g 140 m inutes, and an ending that just ruins it for everything else. The potential shock o f F o sse y ’s brutal murder is glossed over into a typically happy ending, re dundantly celebrating her admittedly many achievem ents, as if the film m ak ers knew they had not succeed ed in putting the story across to us. Finally, the film also leaves outm uch o f the m edia attention that F ossey re ceived and propagated during her stay in Africa. Sadly, and ironically, this led to many sightseers searching her out on her mountain in Rwanda, further d is turbing the habitat o f her beloved goril las. Considering everything they tried to jam into this m ovie, this is a glaring om ission. But D ian F ossey is too com pelling and inspiring a figure to be ignored. I suggest instead that you read her autobiography Gorillas in the Mist, or Farley M ow at’s posthum ous exam in a tion o f F o sse y ’s life through her papers in Virunga: The Passion of Dian Fos sey. The film itse lf should on ly be considered as a w eak substitution. G orillas in the M ist is playing at Le

This was the major w ork o f the e v e ning, and once again demonstrated the virtuosic skills o f the O SM . The opening m ovem ent depicting the awakening o f spring could have m ade m ore dynam ic im pact had the pian isim osso marking been m ore c lo sely observed. H ow ever, spring did indeed gloriously awake. It is m ost refreshing after too m any years o f dull concerts in Toronto to listen to an orchestra enjoy and revel in every phrase. The clo se attention to detail in M ahler’s orchestral palette brought out vibrant colours and literal cloudbursts o f sound. M ahler can easily be ‘overdriven’, but the restraint and spontaneity provided by conductor Charles Dutoit led to a thrilling conclu sion as the final triumphant m otto them e blazed in the tonic key o f the Sym phony. Fine deportment w as displayed by all sections o f the orchestra with special contributions by the upper winds and brass and a very zealous battery o f percussion.

In 1888, a tw enty-eight year old M ahler com pleted his first sym phony follow in g the aftermath o f his passionate but unhappy lo v e affair with Johanna Richter, a singer at the K assel Opera w here the young com poser was m u sic director.

H e has also been awarded honorary degrees from several Cana dian universities and the title o f an O fficer o f the Order o f Canada, this country’s highest distinction. But all this accom plishm ent has not turned G zow ski into a stuffy radio per sonality; he has retained a sense o f humour. After w aiting patiently through a lengthy introduction o f the head table, G zow ski calm ly took the podium and quipped, “I have had ca reers on television w hich have not lasted as long as that introduction.” G zow ski then proceeded to produce a pair o f boxer shorts with the w ords, “I C A N ’T TOP TH AT” printed on the front w hich he presented to the m od erator in reference to his introduction. This w as to be just the beginning o f the festivities as G zow sk i’s light-hearted humour took control for the rest o f the afternoon. In fact, it turned out to be an after noon o f casual stories o f past encoun ters, experiences and G zo w sk i’s portraitof the typical Canadian. H e started by recounting tales o f sim ilar func tions that he had attended, such as the tim e when the Lieutenant Governor asked him to sign a book before a dinner. G zow ski paused here for a m om ent and in an innocent v o ice asked the gathered throng, “D oes anyone in this room happen to know the nam e o f the Lieutenant G over

I f there is any doubt as to his com petence in this field, one just has to note that he has been awarded three A C T R A A w ards for excellen ce in radio. Y et, fo r a llh ise x p e r ie n c e .it is surprising h ow m uch trouble he still

gets into. M y personal favorite o f the stories that G zow sk i told on this after noon w as that o f the ‘uncom fortable w ord.’ During the taping o f an inter view w ith a Canadian painter, G zo w ski asked how he would paint the world. The painter replied, “I w ould paint the w hole bleeping world blue.” G zow ski and staff decided that this word, w hich has been left out for d ecen cy ’s sake, was suitable for the M aritim es, but not for the rest o f the country. In their infinite w isdom , C .B .C . ch ose to leave the ‘uncom fortable w ord’ in for the broadcast to the M aritim es and to edit it out for the W est. Editing it, how ever, consisted o f pressing a tone button to cover the word at the appropriate m om ent during the broadcast. W e ll, as it turned out, the reaction tim e o f the technician w ho w as editing was not too great and the broadcast cam e over the airwaves as “I w ould paint the w h ole bleeping------- blue.” It’s tim es like these that m ake radio so m uch fun. G zo w sk i’s insights on the average Canadian do not end with the ‘apolo getic phase’ butrather continue. G zow ski is convinced that Canadians do not brag. A lthough it m ay be true that often w e do not have a lot to brag about, he nonetheless sees us as m od est people. Canadians have invented such things as the slap shot and Trivial Pursuit, but unlike the A m ericans w ho m ight proclaim “H ot damn! ” upon such a discovery or the G reeks w h o sim ply shout “Eureka!”, the average Cana dian w ill settle for “N ot B ad, Eh!” co n tin u ed on p age 9

fe m in is t's to u c h

by C h risten A ld an a A ccording to M arge Piercy, “W om en burning dinner is not incom petence, it’s war”. Las t M onday night this A m eri can fem inist p oet and novelist gave the first reading o f the lecture series The Literary Imagination to an appreciative audience. R enow ned for her classic fem inist n ovels Women in the Edge of Time and the more recent Gone to Soldiers, Piercy pleasantly surprised a few readers on M onday by reading only her poetry. Comparable to Margaret A tw ood, Piercy writes with piercing irony and com ical insights about not only politics, but nature, human rela tionships, and m odem hang-ups. It’s touching stuff. In one o f her autobiographical sketches, Piercy wrote she agrees with K eats that “Ideas that are not directly experienced on the flesh and not quickened by being lived out, are decorative m erely and thus uninteresting”. The energy in her writings is rooted in her active and involved lifestyle. A Jew brought up in working class D e troit, she has been politically active since kindergarten.( She brought hom e the first black b oy she ever m et as her boyfriend.) She rose to the status o f published author only after winning sev eral scholarships and scraping by for years on low paying jobs. In the 1950s and early 60s she had six unpublished novels, as it w as difficult to sell writing “from a fem inine point o f view at a time w hen fem inism was supposed to have been dead fifty years” .In the 1960s, Piercy w as involved in the c iv il rights

m ovem ent and in the 1970s she was an anti-Vietnam war activist. Presently, in her native s tate o f M assachusetts, G ov ernor Dukakis has appointed her to work on two com m ittees for the Arts. Her opening poem , For the Young WhoWantTo, encouraged young people struggling for recognition in the arts. She said that often young artists are not recognized as having an occupation, “ Every young artist lacks a license like that o f a dentist or a v et”. She told the crowd that she could not understand writers w ho find writing difficult; She herself is passionate about her work. “Work is its ow n cure. Y ou must love it more than being loved. “ M ost o f the poem s read M onday night were written from a fem inist view point. After com menting that the R oe-W ade pro-choice decision in Am erica m ay be repealed, she read a pow erful and inspir ing poem . The Right to Life. "A wom an is not a pear tree thrusting her fruit in

m indless fecundity into the world, even -3 pear trees bear heavily one year and rest c? and grow the next.” Piercy performed ^ her poem Hard Times in a sickly sw eet o v o ice that m ocked the old clich e “A dia- J§ m ond is forever” . Her words burned ^ the fingers and ears o f all those in the audience wearing them. “ Diam ond Hard. A chip o f time cutting glass as pain cuts into flesh. A diamond is a petrified tear, sorrow hardened by fierce sustained pressure into som ething that can endure. “ Piercy has said she finds the strength o f her life in the daily routine o f house and gardening and friends, the indoor and outdoorcats, the woods and marshes and beaches to walk. Inspired by na ture, she read aloud a funny quote by Henry Thoreau saying that m en, hear starkly sim ple and passioned; w e w ill If you are not too busy, you can check ing the springtime call o f mating frogs, never dream the intense w et spring lust out her m ost recent b ook o f poetry, continue about their business but are o f the toads.” Available Light, published in 1988 by unconsciously affected b y it.

G zow ski presented a convincin g case which declared that ourCanadian motto o f ‘From Sea to Sea’ should be changed to an updated version o f ‘N ot Bad, Eh! ’ A ctually, w hen looked a tclosely, it becom es apparent that Canada stretches from sea to sea to sea. In response to this G zow ski slyly retorted, “I suppose tw o out o f three is not bad.”

T h u rsd ay

G zow sk i finished up his talk by touching on h ow Canadians are indiffident. “I’m proud” said G zow ski, “to liv e in an indiffident country.” G zow sk i is a true Canadian, not only in his lo v e for the country but also for his valuable insights into the psych es o f other, m ore ‘average’ Canadians. He b est sum m ed up his philosophy when he finished by saying, “I like acountry o f ‘I ’m sorrys’ and ‘N ot B ad, E h s’.”

This w as the background for the strong team they are today. H ow ever romantic this quintessen tial preppy sport m ay seem , the Crew team works extrem ely hard for v ic tory. B ecause o f water conditions and boat availability, som e crews must train at 6 a.m. Sin ce it takes on e h alf hour to get to the O lym pic basin m any team m em bers must rise before daw n in order to m ake it to training.
