The McGill Tribune, Tuesday November 1,1988

Keeping students in the dark October 28. McGill, in conjunction with other universities, is planning a study day for November 15, to pro­ mote student awareness about the is­ sue.

The government has continuously postponed loans and bursary policy reforms. Despite his promise to unveil a new program by December 1988, Ryan told those at the meeting that changes will not be considered until 1989 and will not come into effect until 1990-1991 at the earliest. Fur­ thermore, Ryan indicated that there will be no major innovations in policy, as he defended the current one.

Cameron hopes that McGill will have the chance to outline their concerns with respect to loans and bursaries before any new policy is enacted.

by Suzy Costom and Rhonda Yarin Student leaders emerged dissatis­ fied last Wednesday, after spending two hours discussing financial issues including tuition fees, government fi­ nancing plans, and loans and bursaries reform with Education Minister Claude Ryan.

McGill, UQAM, Laval, Université de Montreal, Bishop’s, Université de Sherbrooke, and the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi exchanged views on these matters before being joined

by Ryan. The representatives from each school, including McGill’s VP Exter­ nal Affairs Mark Cameron, decided that due to variation in each school’s requests and proposals, they would approach the meeting with the goal of obtaining information from Ryan about his plans for the future in these areas.

Unfortunately, the future looks grim for Québec students. Ryan told the representatives that students could count on the doubling of tuition fees beginning as early as 1989-1990, pending approval of the hike at the Liberal meeting scheduled for Octo­ ber 29. If the party agrees to this pol­ icy, they will be breaking a campaign promise against tuition hikes.

SSMU is not necessarily against tuition increases so long as they would be accompanied by reforms in the loans and bursaries policy, and larger contri­ butions by the government to univer­ sity funding. According to Cameron, tuition fees presently account for 6.7% of university budgets, and, after raises, will only cover approximately 11%.

McGill needs $120 million. There­ fore, real increases must come from the government. Ryan made no indica­ tion that the government is prepared to allocate any new funds to universities.

This was a major disappointment to Cameron, who stated that the govern­ ment “must make a commitment to education as a high priority”.

All Québec universities are placing much pressure on the government w ith regard to its loans and bursaries policy because of its urgency in light of inevi­ table tuition increases. ANEEQ or­ ganized a three day strike October 26, 27, and 28, to protest government inaction on reforms. At a McGill General Assembly students supported SSMU’s proposal not to strike, opting instead for a campus wide information campaign as well as joining ANEEQ in a protest at LaFontaine Park on r

by Aaron Margolis The eulogy is finished, its now time to go home and ponder what was, what is and whatmighthavebeen. The 1988 edition of the McGill Redmen football team is no more and in their final act as an entity the Redmen fell hard. On a cold and snowy Saturday afternoon in downtown Lennoxville the Bishops Gaiters destroyed McGill 44-2 to win a semi final game in the Ontario-Quebec football league. In the other semi­ final Queens beat Ottawa 16-13 in overtime.

The blame for this debacle possibly should be placed in the hands of the once revered coaching staff. Coach Charlie Baillie must have been using the General Custer intramural league playbook if he thought that the way to Bishops jugular was by way of the pass. Mike Soles, who has been called one of the greatest running backs in Redmen history, carried theball a paltry eight times for forty five yards. Soles did not touch the ball until near the end

of the first quarter on McGill’s third offensive series. This is the same man who ran for over two hundred yards in last years Vanier Cup and who led the OQIFL conference in total rushing yards this year.

Instead, the Redmen came out pass­ ing and quarterback Bryan Fuller con­ tinued to have his difficulties with the Bishops secondary. Fuller was 3 for 20 for 45 yards and four interceptions.

Two of those interceptions were run back for touchdowns.

The asinine thing about this game was that the weather conditions were conducive to two factors, the running game and defense. The McGill de­ fense was superb. On four occasions Bishops threatened from inside the 20 yard line and each time had to settle for a field goal. The only offensive touch­ down the Gaiters scored was in the third quarter on an eight yard run by Keith Kelly.

On this day as the temperature dropped below freezing and snow came

It was a sad game to watch if you are a Redmen fan. Not only because of how they lost, but because of who they lost .Saturday’s game marks the end

of an era for McGill football. Players like Bryan Fuller, Bruno Pietrobon, Charles Bourque, Robin Belanger, Richie Babin and possibly Mike Soles and/or Gerry Ifill have worn the red and white for the final time. To all these gentlemen Redmen fans would like to thank you for all the great memories you have provided. To the players continuing their university careers we look forward to next year and a possible shot at the Vanier Cup. The Redmen will rise again.

CKUT seeks referendum

by Shannon Aldinger Radio McGill is seeking an increase in funds through a student-initiated referendum to be held Nov. 9-11. The station requests an increase from the present $2.00 per student per semester to $4.00 per person per semester.

CKUT station manager Susan Elrington explains “We [Radio McGill] will be in financial trouble if the refer­ endum isn’t passed. It’s difficult to fully define the situation. If the refer­ endum isn’tpassed, we can scrape by. continued on page 5

in raging force -why, why did McGill come out throwing? Perhaps we will never know. The McGill team during the Soles era had been a ball control team. Unfortunately when they truly needed this control the coaching staff abandoned their “running man” and the resulting blowout occurred.

One positive aspect of the meeting concerned a new financing proposal which Ryan had recently outlined to the Conseil des Recteurs et Principaux des Universités du Québec. He hinted that different amounts of money would be allotted to the various programs and faculties according to differences in their financial needs. This method of allocation would change the old “flat rate” funding policy which McGill has criticized in the past, and thus would satisfy one of McGill’s concerns.

The students at the meeting repre­ sented those universities which re­ jected ANEEQ’s strike proposal.

According to Cameron, the students approached the meeting with open minds but Ryan was not receptive to student concerns.

Op / Ed & lettprs Loading demagogic catch phrases To the Editor: Reading through the Tribune of Oc­ tober 18,1 was quite disturbed to find an article by one Rory Nicholson entitled, ‘Welcome to your armed forces’, an article which struck me as nothing but an attempt to glorify the Canadian military. Loaded with demagogic catch-phrases such as ‘a proud tradi­ tion of military service’, and ‘Can­ ada’s historic commitment to defense’, if it was meant to provoke me to stand up with my hand to my breast, my eyes moist, and my upper lip trembling with passionate nationalism, it failed.

Starting off with criticism against the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau for allow ing the armed forces to deteriorate, Nicholson is soon sing­ ing the praises of ‘the formidable Per­ rin Beatty’ and his exciting new white paper on defense. Now, I have as much respect for the formidable Perrin Beatty as anybody can, but my respect stems form the sheer awe I have towards anyone who can translate his wet dreams into a proposal for government policy; frigates, under ice surveillance systems, mines weepers, antisubmarine warfare helicopters, long range patrol aircraft, Canadian Rangers, Militia Brigades, armoured regiments, battle tanks, increasing reserves, increasing salaries, research into space surveil­ lance systems, and, the piece de resis­ tance, twelve spanking new nuclear powered submarines - all neatly pack­ aged with the weakly subdued hysteria against the Russians characteristic of the Cold War, and delivered to us with a smile and a twenty billion dollar price tag. Canadians will be taxed heavily, welfare systems cut, health, education, public works reduced and daycare ignored so that we can afford what Nicholson calls ‘the muscle the military needs’.

Then there’s the point made about the sad decline of the size of the mili­ tary from over 100 000 to 79 000.

What is so sad about it? These thou­ sands of people are engaged in activity of little or no productivity, serving as one enormous consumer of economic wealth. Just like that pitiful Maytag repairman we see in the television commercials, they have only a poten­ tial role to play but in reality do next to nothing worthy of the extravagant costs necessary to house and feed and train them. I contend that the primary pur­ pose of the military is purely psycho­ logical; to help mitigate the paranoid and xenophobic anxieties which are

Entertainment Editor evoke with phrases such as; ‘a proud tradition of military service’, ‘Canadi­ ans are viewed with great respect in NATOcountries’, ‘Arctic sovereignty to peacekeeping’, ‘Canada’s historic commitment to defense’, ‘Canadians have made a strong international im­ pression'. This is the kind of patriot­ ism normally associated with the term patriotism, a violent and sanguinary brand of nationalism which derives its identity form the exploits of its mili­ tary. I won’t mince my words here when I say that this is a clear example of the obscene cultural perversion which manifests itself in the belief that the noblest virtues of man are demon­ strated in war, in the capacity for or­ ganized violence, and in authoritarian strength through arms.

When, at the end of the article, Nicholson engages himself in extol­ ling the armed forces with a pathetic sales pitch, when he urges his fellow students to take advantage of military programs to help them through univer­ sity, when he urges us to abdicate our identities in favour of martial disci­ pline, when he asks us to participate in this violent, institutionalized machoculture, I would reply by assuring him that, without doubt, I would find more pride in financial poverty than in the alternatives he proposes.

Next year’s V.-P. finance to be voted in

by Stéphane St-Onge McGill students may directly elect their society’s next V.-P. Finance if they approve a constitutional amend­ ment during this November’s referen­ dum period.

In previous years, the V.-P. Finance has been chosen through an in-Coun­ cil election.

SSMU councillors suggested ex­ tending the vote for V.-P. Finance to the whole student population at a meeting last Tuesday.

“It is a completely non-controversial topic. An election for this position essentially makes Council more demo­ cratic,” SSMU V.P. Internal Amanda Kalhok told the Tribune last week.

... CKUT continued from page 3 But, in a few years, Radio McGill would barely be functionnable.”

According to Elrington, CKUT’s fi­ nancial difficulties arose due to the previous management’s poor budgetplanning during its conversion to an FM station last year.

“Some costs couldn’t have been avoided,” she admits, “but the previ­ ous management spent money that shouldn’t have been spent.”

The extremity of the deficit was un­ known until Elrington assumed posi­ tion of station manager, at which time she says “we made major cuts in spend­ ing.”

Radio McGill now has a deficit of approximately $229,000.

McGill University has lent the sta­ tion the needed money to pay the defi­ cit on the condition that the station make loan repayments of $40 000 per year until the loan is repaid.

CKUT’s operating-budget is ap­ proximately $148,000 per year. They receive these funds through advertis­ ing (approximately $84,000) and di­ rectly from McGill students (currently approximately $64,000). Elrington says the station would be hard-pressed to have to take their loan-payments from this amount.

“But, if the referendum is passed, we will be able to pay back $60 000 each year and have the loan repaid in five years,” she says.

Elrington does not see the referen­ dum to be a great obstacle. “The prob­ lem isn ’t in students voting ag ainst our question, but in getting a 10% voter turnout for the required quorum,” she says.

“We don ’t see ourselves going back to the students for money in the next five years at least, or even after that, because, by that time, our other sources of revenue will have increased.”

But Coucil had to approve tempo­ rary changes to Student Society elec­ tion regulations which would have prevented the proposal from being put on November’s ballot because it had been approved one week too late.

SSMU President Nancy Cote sup­ ports direct voting for the V.P. financeconstitutional change, but said she disagrees that changing election regulations is a necessary first step.

“Council was unanimous that the position should be elected campus­ wide, but I do not feel that this was reason enough to change electoral regulation,” she said.

“There is no ‘rush’ to have the V.-P. Financeelected campus-wide. We have been doing fine with having it filled through an in-Council election.”

Among the electoral regulation changes approved last Tuesday are a reduction in deadlines for announcing the elections in the Tribune and Daily from three to two weeks. ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ committees will have seven days to campaign, rather than the previous

14.

Cote believes the Chief Returning Officer needs more than two weeks to publicize a referendum question.

“We agreed that a twenty-one day period was needed to print notices in the campus newspapers. Only with this amount of time could the CRO inform the student body on the elec­ tion issues and leave time for ‘yes’ and ‘no’ committees to be formed,” she explained, adding that “a re-institution of the 21 day period will be recom­ mended.”

Council decided in February to give Yes and No committees 14 days to campaign after groups active in last fall’s referendum complained they had too little time to organize themselves after learning of the referendum ques­ tions one week earlier in campus newspapers.l Said Kalhok of last year’s decisiom’T h e twenty-one day delay allowed enough time for a ‘no’ com­ mittee to form in reaction to Council decisions.”

Cirque du Soleil glimmers

by Mike Crawley We're not talking about any plain old circus,folks. There are no hokey animal acts, no exploited freaks, no sawdust and no cotton candy. Cirque du Soleil is instead a transcendental experience, an orgasmic display o f perfectly concocted visual stimuli, weaved into an intricate web o f glittering mysticism and poly­ chromatic spectacle. It is like a West End musical crossed with the Olympics, precisely choreographed displays o f dexterity all under a blue and yellow tent. The lights go off, the spell is cast, the smoke rises...

Quebec’s own circus troupe boasts a success story of Cinderella proportions.

Conceived in 1984 as a dream, the Cirque has now travelled across and conquered North America during its four year fan­ tasy. Circuses do not become world famous in four years. But Cirque du Soleil has defied this law and has leapt into the realm of pop stars and Andrew Lloyd Webber plays. Nevertheless, it was the tremendous success of their 1987 U.S. tour which made Canadians finally stand up, take notice and cheer wildly.

The show begins with the arrival of over a dozen drably cos turned bumpkins who wander into the ring with a timid look of both wonder and fear emanating from their half-masked faces. From a massive puff of smoke, the Queen of the Night (the inconceivably elastic contor­ tionist Angela Laurier) emerges and transforms the average ho-hum existence of the gawking yokels into a Lewis Carroll fantasia.

The two-act, two-hour show alter­ nates between traditional yet innovative circus expertise and gut-wrenching vaudeville. Picture four acrobats per­ forming handstands on seven chairs in a seemingly impossible gravity-defying configuration, literally projecting out into mid-air. Picture a man flipping verti­ cally on a tightrope. Picture fourteen people in a pyramid riding one bicycle.

Picture a man conducting his walkman

through the 1812 Overture while wear­ ing ski boots and bouncing on a trampo­ line.

But words and mental pictures can­ not completely convey the brilliant the­ atrics of the Cirque. The show is more

The exhibition consists of 47 paintings and 110 black and white. draw ings and gouache, representing a wide range of his work. Among the ex­ hibits are the costumes he designed for "The Magic Flute” and the illustrations for the book “Daphnis and Chloe”. Chagall was also a ceramist, sculp­ tor, poet, writer and designer of stained glass w indow s, though none of these are shown in the exhi­ bition.

Chagall came from a deeply religious family in Russia, but in 1910 he moved to Paris. The city and its culture influenced him deeply, though what impressed him most was the light.

Island adrift

by Sarah Johnson Pascali's Island, directed by James Dearden, is a good argument against translating novels into films. Based on the book of the same name by Barry Unsworth, this movie attempts to be a suspenseful character study, but in the limited time allotted, it ends up confus­ ing and unsatisfying.

The film is set in 1908 on an Aegean island which is subject to the crumbling Ottoman Empire. Despite the Sultan’s vast network of spies, Greek rebellion is fermenting and Europeans and Ameri­ cans are descending like vultures in anticipation of the spoils of war.

Basil Pascali (Ben Kingsley) has been spying for the Sultan for twenty years without ever getting a reply. Naturally this rather worries him, but his devotion to the Sultan gives him faith in the im­ portance of his work. His skills as an interpreter allow him to meet strangers on the island, and bring him together with Anthony Bowles (Charles Dance), a jolly decent sort of British archaeolo­ gist with secrets of his own.

Bowles takes an interest in Pascali’s welfare, but Pascali is rather ambivalent about Bowles, who, despite his talk about honour, is no better than he should be.

Pascali is also not very happy when Bowles starts an affair with Lydia, (Helen Mirren), the woman he loves. Intrigue piles on intrigue when Bowles discovers ancient artifacts on a piece of land called Terra Rossa, of great interest to practi­ cally everybody in sight.

At this point the plot becomes unbe­ lievably convoluted. Pascali is caught in

the middle and feels betrayed by both Bowles and Lydia and the decaying Empire he loves .His grief and rage at the realization that his life has been a com­ plete waste causes him to turn on Bowles, who forced him to face it. This act of revenge destroys him forever.

This movie tries very hard to be good but the plot becomes more and more complicated. The viewer keeps waiting for it all to come together, but it never does. Many of the plot twists are left unresolved and others are merely super­ ficial devices. Actions are inadequately explained, so it is hard to believe in them. The reasons for Basil’s devotion to the Sultan are unclear, which makes his twenty-year vigil seem silly.

This lack of information is the film’s main fault. A character study simply does not work if the motivation is miss­ ing. The rather poor story material is partially redeemed by the talent of the three main actors. Kingsley tries stalwartly to make something out of his part and succeeds in conveying Pascali’s utter loneliness and disillusionment. Mirren and Dance ably back him, and as a result, the film is far from unbearable to watch.

It certainly looks great. It is after all, hard to go wrong with a Greek island.

The film radiates with picturesque fish­ ing boats on crystal seas, and stunning sunsets, while the sets and costumes are terrific Pascali's Islandhad the poten­ tial for excellence. Perhaps it is the an­ ticipation of something great which leaves the viewer wanting more.

since early youth. His paintings show a very personal interpretation of well known scenes, such as “Exodus”.

Among the multitude of people in the picture are the omnipresent cows and roosters. The larger canvases such as “La Danse” ( 1950) are espe­ cially effective in the large rooms of the Mu­ seum, partly due to their size, but mostly to the sheer brilliance of their colour. Vivid yellows, blues and reds draw the spectator to them. They seem especially bright when you compare them to grey and wet Mon­ treal outside. The theme of the exhibition is “En­ chanted Colour" and this could not be more ap­ propriate.

Chagall said, “Art seems to me to be above all a frame of mind” and that typifies his work.

His work does not show the everyday world, it shows Chagall’s own personal world, a mix­ ture of imagination and reality.

by Danielle Balfe Those of you who missed the excite­ ment of Godspell last year will have another opportunity to see the James McGill Company in action. This year’s production is the broadway sensation Cabaret, which examines the decadence and turmoil of Berlin society prior to World War II. Rehearsals and plans are

of producing a show. “Both of us had been in the position of hoping to get a part. It’s hard to tell people that you are not what we need.” At the same time, they look to their cast for new ideas.

Julia commented that it is extremely important “to have the cast’s input and involvement.”

Andrew Tees, a cas t member of both Godspell and Cabaret, maintained that Julia and Martha “put a lot of time and effort into the show, sometimes pay­ ing for it at the expense of their school work. Although, I think they found it really satisfying.”Both JuliaandMartha mentioned the pressure with which they must cope and some of the adaptations they have had to make. Martha stated, “I think because we were doing so much, we learned how to balance everything.

I feel it’s all been worth it.”

Perhaps the best indication of their success was the awarding of the Scarlet Key, presented for outstanding student leadership and intiative. Julia and Martha were nominated by their God­ spell cast for this extraordinary honour.

The production of Cabaret will be co-directed by Martha Spears and Danny Nashman (who played Judas in God­ spell), while Julia has opted to perform this year. The play is produced by stu­ dents, with the exception of the musical director, Mary Jane Puiu, who also heads the McGill Choral Society.

These students have created a Com­ pany which will endure long after their graduation. They maintain, “It is seeing people enjoy themselves that makes it all worth i t ”

for Broadway style musicals at McGill.

Intially, it was extremely difficult to find the support they needed. “People ques­ tioned us as to why we were doing this."

They both commented that it was essen­ tial to “have an attitude that nothing was going to stop us” if their project were to succeed.

Their persistence and hard work paid

y Tim Houston Gothic high priestess. Goddess over 1 unknow ables, bumping in the night, lhabitant of the encroaching darkness, iveloping a familiar world of wind tstling leaves, steps cracking twigs, rose shutters whining...

Hallow’s Eve is upon us. Response to te timeless exclamation of trick or treat afting in through the doorway of your umble abode should be the playing of iouxsie & the Banshees’ Peep show. 'eep watch on the little ones.

Siouxsie Sioux and longtime collaboator, bassist Steve Severin have conocted a surprisingly refreshing brew of riginality steeped in unpleasant images nd populated by an abundance of devil;h characters, scarecrows, dragons, rotesque dwarves, jack-o-lantems, ù an toms and salamander kings.

Subject matter is a mirror of what can ie regarded as love affairs fallen into uin, turned to dust. Revenge. Vengence withoutpity. Wronged lovers heapng unfavourable punishment through ear and death.

The first cut, the single Peek-a-Boo, is n anomaly. Pleasant sounding, with iccordion and fluegel hom interspersed >etween the verses, heavy drumbeat, and iiouxsic’s vocals muffled as if sung lèverai feet away through a megaphone à la Tom Waits). Muted chimes com­

plement the mix. It is possibly the most inventive dance tune I have come upon this year. Infectious. However, it is not about love in the first degree. No, bodies “shapeless and slumped in bath chairs...reeking like a pigsty...dry lips crack out for more...’come bite on this rag doll, baby!” All have an effect not unlike having a shower with a pluggedin television set.

Continuing, The Killing Jar, all syn­ copated drums and whistles, and Scare­ crow, beginning imperceptibly into a raging crash of sharp guitar chords, both echoing the redemption unleashed on a misgiven soul.

Carousel also begins quietly, Siouxsie whispering her lyrics over a slight mel­ ody only to hasten itself to the conclu­ sion, all manner of monsters and spirits swirling about an empty room. Burn-Up ends the first side with a fiery, harmon­ ica-driven crescendo.

Ornaments o f Gold perpetuates the theme of love gone bitter, true love hid­ den by material possessions, of affection veiled by deceit and lies one hopes to dissolve by the purchase of riches.

Temporary appeasement might seem like “silver mountains...dance in fountains below shining citadels.”, but ultimately leads to pain and suffering.

TurntoStone reflects the isolation felt resulting in separation. Rawhead and

Bloodybones is a nursery rhyme gone wrong, as if penned by an individual consumed by terror-induced madness.

The last two songs, The Last Beat o f My Heart and Rhapsody, showcases Siouxsie’s seemingly new-found confi­ dence in her singing. Dispensing with the sh o u ld -b e-d efu n ct term of “postpunk”, they are both harmonious and resonant expressions of reconcili­ ation and forgiveness. A hymn-like quality, insightful, faith-affirming, per­ vades the former.

After the uninspired collection of covers found on their last release, Through the Looking Glass, Siouxsie and the boys (drummer Budgie contrib­ utes greatly in the unique percussive atmosphere highlighting each song) have delivered a haunting package of plain­ tive lamentation. Not overly melancholy and depressing, these are songs com­ posed to have one think deeply upon the direction of one’s romantic associations, rare in the derivative, tiresome vari­ ations of love expressed through the emotionless Rick Astley clones of the contemporary music scene.

Siouxsie & the Banshees' Peepshow is available on Polydor. The Banshees played Theatre St-Denis Monday, Oct. 24.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday November 1,1988

by Kelly Gallagher-Mackay Boss, what a story I’ve got for you this time!

The man best known to the general public as Jack Flamingo picked me up at five after two in the morning. He had papers, saying he was representative and sole proprietor of Flamingos Party, but I never doubted his identity; even in the dark I could tell that his car was jam packed full of flamingos. The pink birds were sticking up and out in any which way. As I slipped into the pas­ senger seat, I became convinced that one of those black beaked fellows was fixing me with what sure looked like an evil eye. The role of a cub reporter is to ask questions, not get spooked by the scenery, so I ignored it.

As the car pulled away from the curb, I found out that my companion was quite willing to talk. In low tones he confessed that his real name was Jack Abergel, and he was a second year student in Political Science and History at McGill. The flamingo party had come to him as part of a tide that swept the continent, east from Califor­ nia. The time was right, he decided, for Montreal to wake up to lawns full of flocks of flamingo-type fowl.

We turned a quick right on a red, then were really upset to hear that peculiar screech that suggested that an officer of the law was in pursuit. Like good McGill students, we quickly pulled aside when signalled. Like

someone in a Burt Reynolds movie, or Darth Vader, the guy got out of his car and strutted up to the car. He was not impressed by the full load of birds we were bearing. Wildly the thought crossed Jack Flamingo’s mind that he had finally met a man without a sense of humour. It was frightening. When he reached his hand out to take the ticket, I noticed that the bird that had had it in for me had switched its gaze to the policeman. I began to relax; I had been accepted.

“We’re almost there,” said Jack Flamingo.

“There” turned out to be a home in St. Hubert. I got out of the car to watch the man in action. In the time it takes a Maltese flamingo to change hands, he had the lawn, the trees and the shrub­ bery full of pink plastic. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I noticed that some of them were dressed in these real cute littlecostumes...there was aclown and some Hawaiian pani­ ers in the crowd. That was the last thing I noticed before the whole yard was lit up by blinding spotlights.

Chuckles had struck back. He was mighty curious about our activities.

Fortunately, Jack was almost done. He put up the sign saying ‘Happy Birth­ day *****’ (name withheld to protect the innocent), and we were off. We scrambled into the car, hotly pursued by a Germ an Shepherd. He and Chuck­ les would have got along really well, I

thought in passing, but this malicious thing had come from the neighbour’s house. I craned my head out the win­ dow, and heard the honer calling after us in a shrill voice, “What are you doing? Punks, Hooligans! Are you aware that you were trespassing?...”

I looked at Jack. “Happens all the time,” he said serenely.

We did a few more houses, one where a baby had arrived the night before. We left them twenty-five birds, one in a baby costume. For the second birthday of the night we left a police flamingo. We weren’t sure about the neighbourhood.

“I have to keep re-ordering them,” explained Flamingo. “It is weird, but the people who take them most often are the one’s whose lawns they are on.

Seems that they want a free souvenir.”

We had just rolled into headquarters when a telephone call came. It was from the last house we visited, the home of a bartender. He had spent the evening doing some pretty heavy quality control, from the sound of his voice. After the polite formalities, he enquired, “Excuse me, are there fla­ mingos on my lawn or is all this a dream?”. We did our best to reassure him.

In the morning, as my assignment was winding down, we went to a wedding. “I do weddings. Indoors,” said Jack. Very fine the birds looked, too, against their lovely green styro-

foam indoor lawn. The bride and groom flamingo looked especially solemn.

“This reminds me," said Jack, “of a time in St. Leonard’s, when I was preparing to pick up my flamingos and this big guy in this big black car said to me,’Doan touch da flahmingos.’I explained that they were my flamin­ gos, and he got out of the car and emphasised, “If I say doan touch da flahmingos, you doan touch the flahmingos.’ I was in a quandary,” said Jack, “but fortunately, at that moment he got into his car and made a quick phone call. Then he stuck his head out and said, ‘OK, take da Flahmingos,’

curiosity was piqued, and I asked him what he was doing there. T do many things, many, many things. But doan ask questions.’” Jack mused, “Its a weird crowd you get with flamin­ gos.”

Boss, I ’ve got to agree with him.

I left Jack trying to figure out a flamingo concept that he could broaden into a line of posters, T-shirts and even dolls. For winter, he’s thinking pen­ guins. I really don’t know what to make of this guy, but you can call him yourself and ask about Flamingos Party, at 483-5947.

Secrets of genocide

by Lisa Fernandez Those who attended the Donald Woods ’ lecture last week will remem­ ber Rose Ndyahoze. The soft spoken, solemn African woman, a friend of Woods’, took the podium for a few moments to answer a question about Burundi, the homeland from which she fled eighteen years ago after the government murdered her husband.

Rose Ndyahoze calls the government purge of Hutu elites “selective geno­ cide”.

Burundi, a tiny, densely populated country in the middle of Africa, only achieved independence from Belgium in 1962. It is now, according to a Minority Rights Group report, the only state in independent Africa with a “genuine caste society”, and this has been the source of die tension and violence within thecountry. LikeSouth Africa, the minority in Burundi has control over the majority. But in Bu­ rundi the rivals both have black skin.

TheTutsi tribe, 15% of the population, makes up the government and controls the rest of the population, the largely uneducated Hutu tribe. The Hutus wish to express themselves politically through parties and trade unions but are repressed by the Tutsi rulers. In fact, Belgian Christian missionaries are being expelled from the country because they have been educating the people and showing the Hutus that they too should have access to leader­ ship.

Mrs. Ndyahoze, now a Montreal resident, is pursuing her goal to bring her tragic story from the depths of Africa to the rest of the world. She wants the United Nations to “recog­ nize the Hutu genocide, rehabilitate the memory of its victims, and com­ pensate their afflicted families”. So far, the world’s governments have not questioned the Tutsi government’s version of the truth: that the killings were necessary to quell a Hutu coup.

Ndyahoze is positive that there was no coup.

Since 1972, she has been trying to get the “real story” to the public. She accuses the Tutsi government of “sys­ tematically massacring” at least 100,000 Hutus, then blaming it on an uprising “which could not have ex­ isted”. Her husband, MartinNdyahoze,

was blamed for instigating the coup, then killed. B “The Tutsis saythatthiswasa Hutus rebellion, but the Hutus have never risen up. It was all a fabrication so that the government could eliminate the educated Hutus under the pretext of war.

“The Hutus are not even allowed to talk in groups.There is no way they could have organized a coup. It is impossible. For a people to fight, they must be ready.”

Rose Ndyahoze’s husband was one of the handful of educated Hutus who held positions in the government, serv­ ing as Minister of Information and Economy. He tried to urge the Presi­ dent of Burundi, to stop the govern­ ment’s anti-Hutu rumor-mongering, because of the possibley dangerous repercussions.

“I told my husband it wasn’t safe,” said Rose, “and I wanted to leave. But my husband told me the President needed his help against possible over­ throw of the government, and that he needed to stay”. Soon after, Martin Ndyahoze was accused of wanting to overthrow the government and become President himself.

That night, Martin Ndyahoze was arrested. Rose Ndyahoze never saw him again. He was later executed by the Tutsi government. She and her three sons left Burundi in the trunk of a car, after the government officials took her passport.

From Burundi, to Kenya, to Zaire, and then Montreal where she now resides, Ndyahoze’s mission is bring her husband’s story to the UN Com­ mission of Human Rights. She ac­ tively supports the “Convention of Prevention”, an organization which educates people on the selective geno­ cide in Burundi. She compares the situation to the Holocaust when the outside world knew nothing of what was going on inside of Germany. “And if they had known, what could have been done?”

What most horrifies her, though, is that “There is still no mechanism to prevent its happening again.” By con­ tinuing her struggle to make the truth commonly known and formally recog­ nized, Rose Ndyahoze hopes to create that mechanism of prevention.

Mobilizing for Moyse petition to Principal Johnson, along with one of the “MOYSE HALL ACT NOW” T-Shirts that are beginning to crop up around campus. “We thought w e’d increase his wardrobe," said TNC Executive Director Jennifer Harvie.

Harvie believes that making stu­ dents and the general public more aware will give the TNC a little more lever­ age to pressure with if the promised renovations are not forthcoming. “ People don’t know about it and they should. It’s not just a resource for Dramamajors. Every English major is required to take a dram a course and i t’s also one of the most popular electives on campus.”

by Kim Farley Those brown oblong slabs of wood on the far wall of the Arts lobby are not wall fixtures. Believe it of not, they’re DOORS, and behind them is a poten­ tially gorgeous 430 seat theatre that has been sitting empty for two years awaiting renovations. Plenty ofDrama students, now being stuffed into the 70 seat Morrice Hall for their produc­ tions, would like to see some of the junk moved off the Moyse Hall stage so they can start performing on it.

At a Teach-In on October 6, VP Physical Resources Sam Kingdon promised that “renovations will defi­ nitely begin by the end of November.”

Organized by Tuesday Night Cafe (TNC), an English Department- sup­ ported theatre group which is leading the “Save Moyse Hall” movement, the Teach-In was the first step in a major campaign to increase the public aware­ ness of the problem. The next was the circulation of "Save Moyse Hall” peti­ tions, which gathered 3,000 signatures.

TNC will be sending copies of the

The general public will benefit from the theatre’s re-opening as well.TNC ’s last two productions at Morrice Hall sold out and many people were left without tickets. Moyse Hall would be able to hold over four times as many people. “There are not that many Englishlanguage theatres in Montreal.

A lot more people would come from

outside the school if we had the capac­ ity,” says Harvie.

The money for the renovations to the Hall itself ($250,000 from Imasco and $600,000 from the Federal gov­ ernment) has been there for two years, but the hold up was caused by the addition of a costume and construction shop, necessary for production turn­ over, to the west side of the building.

Because the city won’t allow access from Dr. Penfield, an alternate access route had to be found. However,the renovations to the main building were not begun while this route was being designed. Renovations are necessary, according to Harvie, because the equip­ ment is unsafe and “was probably stateof-the-art around 1940”.

TNC will continue to work at keep- , ing their cause in the limelight. They are dressing the Arts building in a huge “Act Now Moyse HalT’banner and are planning to perform skits around campus which will dramatise the prob­ lem. By next year, they want to have a real stage to work on.

Echoes of Lorusso

LORUUUUUUU....Heads turn and grown men are weeping. Number 53 has just stepped on the turf of Molson.

It’s hard to miss Pete Lorusso.the six foot tall, 240 lb. offensive lineman who benches 325 lbs. Lorusso is a big boy.

Stereotypes don’t prepare one for a meeting with Lorusso. Sure, he’s a Redman, but when he graduates next year, with a degree in economics, he will have made his mark at McGill in more ways than one.

I make my way to Psi U fraternity across from the Athletics department on Pine avenue for the interview. This is Lorusso territory and Psi U is his headquarters. As president,heruns the ship around here, managing such ac­ tivities as the Blood Drive, the Big Brother program and, of course, the lifeblood of any fraternity: social events.

While he devotes over 30 hours per week to football practices, Lorusso is able to maintain a more than healthy social life. When questioned on this ability Lorusso responded that foot­ ball “doesn’t seem to have hurt it that much”. Though the team is put on a special diet, one suspects that Lorusso consumes a fair quantity of liquid protein as well.

It was four years ago when the young Lorusso came to McGill from from his native Boston (a city for which he has fond words). His first year of football ended unfortunately early when he tore ligaments in his knee during preseason practice. For the next two years, Lo­ russo played on the McGill rugby team where he was known for his rambling style on the field and, as one Rugby insider describes it, “eager” social contribution. This year, after a sum­ mer of training, he has returned to football team in full force. * — Lorusso described his role as offen­ sive linesman: “You gotta go 110%

each play. You want to hit him as hard as you can, make him think about coming back again.”

In response to the present standing of thé Redmen, Lorusso said “you can ’t point fingers. You have play as a team and w in or lose as a team. ” Lorusso has a practical view of the team “We have as much talent if not more than last year. It’s just a matter of good rhythm.

We seemed to be beating ourselves by mental errors,” he said.

Behind the gruff exterior Pete Lo­ russo is quite an intelligent and inter­ esting man. He has travelled exten­ sively throughout Europe and speaks fluent German. How about French?

“Ca Marche.” Lorusso explained that his future plans were aimed at the field of international business.

Redmen hockey skating strong

by Dean Gemmell

International Opera Festival 2055 Peel, Suite 922 Montreal,Que. H3A1V4

88 campaign that was the team’s best in forty years, Redmen fans can look forward to a season of exciting hockey from a squad that appears to have no weaknesses.

New head coach A1 Grazys seemed optimistic about his team, stating unequivocally that the team’s objec­ tive was the division championship.

McGill competes in the QUAA East, as university hockey was realigned last year. Most Red and White hockey fans appreciated this new arrangement, and Grazys adds that “. ..it’s a lot more interesting in a division with six teams, in addition to the interlocking play.”

This variety of opposition is some­ thing that both fans and players have enjoyed emmensely. After a busy weekend which saw the team lose to the Brock Badgers by a score of 3-0 (the Badger really is a vicious animal, a fact that can be verified by McGill Zoologists), and defeat RMC 5-2 in conference games, while losing to St. Lawrence College in an exhibition confrontation, the Redmen now boast an overall record of 5-4.

Grazys pinpointed Trois-Rivières as the team to beat for the divisional crown, stating that they are “....definately the toughest team in the divi­ sion.” McGill has suffered two losses by one goal to the Patriotes this season, with a conference game defeat coming in overtime. While the coaching staff knows this makes the team's quest for the championship more difficult, Gra­ zys is quick to point out that the team ’s next two contests against the Flying Frenchmen will be in the more friendly confines of McConnell Winter Arena.

Redmen Basketball Go the Distance

by Mike Martin As football came to a close, the Redmen basketball season began with two wins in three games in an eightteam tournament at Concordia.

On Friday, a young Ottawa team fell to a poised and balanced Redmen at­ tack. Saturday, however, Concordia outdueled the Redmen, winning an ex­ citing shootout 100-99 on a question­ able call and two free throws with no time left on the clock. On Sunday, determined and confident, the Redmen rebounded with a 99-84 victory over one of the premier teams from the Maritimes, St. Francis Xavier, to cap­ ture third place in the tournament.

Against Ottawa, after running to a 53-29 first-half lead, McGill never looked back, winning finally 116-84.

David Steiner finished with 23 points while Perry Douglas and Paul Brousseau each scored 20. Everyone contributed displaying the teams strong depth and unity which Coach Shildroth finds encouraging this early in the season.

A day later, against Concordia, both teams played inspired basketball more characterisicof last year’s playoff game than an October non-league game. The Stingers trailed early .but stayed within eight in the first half. They gradually

chipped away at McGill’s lead, aid with 10:21 remaining took their first lead of the game, 69-68. Then, two former Dawson stars, Alan Cox and Dexter John, emerged for Concordia.

Two off-balance three pointers from Cox and two free throws from John quickly pushed the lead to nine. The Redmen trailed by no less than six until with only 1:40 remaining, David Steiner ‘s steal and lay-in brought McGill within four. His three-pointer at 1:25, and Ariel Franco's threepointer at 1:00, after a Stinger bucket, cut the deficit to two. McGill took the ball back with a tough defensive stand, then Steiner drove the right side, and scored a twisting lay-up to tie the score, 97-97, with 20 seconds remaining.

Concordia ran the clock down until John was fouled with four seconds left.

He hit one of two free throws: Concor­ dia 98, McGill 97. The ball was inbounded to Steiner, and as he drove up court,he drewafoul from John. At the line with only two seconds left, he calmly hit both ends of the one-andone: McGill 99, Concordia98. Unfor­ tunately Concordia noticed that the Redmen failed to place anyone back defensively. Dino Perin immediately threw a full court pass to John who caught the pass in stride with no one

between him and the basket. Steiner pursued John, and timed his jump perfectly to cleanly pin his shot on the backboard. As the ball stuck between the backboard and the rim, and both players fell to the ground, the referee ’s whistle pierced the noise of an exuber­ ant McGill contingent celebrating Steiner’s stuff. With no time left, John sunk both his free throws to provide Concordia with its 100-99 victory.

Within twelve hours of their hard fought loss, McGill faced its Maritime challenge in the X-Men of St Francis Xavier. Tied 45-45 at the break, two minutes of the second half passed before the Xavier realized they were eight points down. Then, a string of spectacular Redmen hoops placed the game beyond the X-Men’s reach.

Jamie Simon’s three-point play, two Douglas three-pointshots, and Simon’s fast break two-handed slam over two X-Men put the Redmen up by fifteen at the nine minute mark, 77-62. From then on the Redmen never let up, fin­ ishing strongly with a convincing 9984 win. Paul Brousseau led McGill with 34points and 16rebounds, Steiner chipping in 18 points.

This weekend, the Redmen travel to Toronto for the Old Four Tournament, and next weekend(Nov. 11-13) McGill hosts its annual eight-team Redmen Invitational Tournament. Friday’s games start at four o’clock. At 8, the Redmen face Carleton.

Onoffence.TimI annone is undoubt­ edly the team leader and the man the team relies on for the big goals. Iannone is coming off a spectacular so­ phomore season in which he was a CIAU All Canadian and the winner of the CIAU ’s Most Sportsmanlike Player trophy. The holder of 28 McGill scor­ ing records, he is obviously the comerstone of the McGill offence.

Photo by Julie-Anne Perry Grazys, however, is quick to point out that the team does not have to rely on Iannone’s offensive output alone.

He expects a lot of production from Mario Benedictis, a former Quebec junior star, and from last season’s Redmen “Rookie of the Year”, Paul Grech. Quite simply, it appears that

Congratulations to Peter Botos for the winning goal.

Congratulations to our Rugby men.

Martlets - On Saturday, the Martlets began the season by falling to a tough U.P.E.I. squad in the final minutes making the game 68-67. Keva Glynn scored five in the final two minutes and Tina Fasone buried two free throws to tie the score 67-67 with 44 seconds to go. Unfortunately a U.P.E.I. basket with twenty seconds left provided their margin of victory. Fasone scored 14 points and Julie Rousseau led the Martlets with 16 points and 11 re­ bounds.

The Martlets played McMaster on Sunday and lost in another hard fought battle74-71. TinaFasone’s 62% shoot­ u ing helped her lead the team with a phenomenal 33 points. It was a big game for Leah Hayman who, with Leading eyecare specialists only 1:47 left, tied the score 71-71 and for over 30 years moved to her 1000th career point and shifted to sixth on the all time scoring Only one location list. Congratulations to Leah!

1988-89 Redmen will certainly not lack for offensive excitment, which should make some of those frigid evenings in the arena a little more bearable.

To go along with this collection of offensive talent, the McGill defence shapes up as a tower of strength. Says Grazys, “Jamie Kompon is a defensive stalwart, and is doing a heck of a job as team captain.” Newcomer Barry Larkin, a former Western Hockey league junior, is described by Grazys as an “outstanding addition.” Anchor­ ing this group will be senior goaltender Jamie Reeve, who shapes up as a possible all-Canadian prospect.

Opposing teams will undoubtedly be hard pressed to put many pucks be­ tween the pipes when they check in against the Redmen this year.

McGill has displayedexcellentstaying power this season, usually out­ playing their opposition in the later parts of the game, when the other team is often tiring. Most players came to training camp in excellent physical condition, and their off-season regi­ mens have been beneficial. The coach­ ing has certainly not been forced to work the team into shape, as Grazys says that, “Fitness has been a personal committment among the players.”

As winter approaches, McGill stu­ dents can take solace from frozen toes and noses in the exciting prospects of our hockey team. The Redmen seem to be on track for an outstanding season and strong displays of fan support might be just enough to push them over the top.____________________________
