More people, more fights at Gert's

BY EVAN KERT

The growingpopularity ofGert’s Pub this year has brought an in­ crease in the frequency, size and violence of fights at thebar, according to Gert’s Security Head Anthony Duncker.

Dunckertold the T r ib u n e that fights are now occuring on a weekly basis at McGill’s most popularpub. He pointed toarise in beer sales as apossiblecause of theincreased

face brawls involving fifteen to twenty people, rather than theoneon-one scuffles to which they are more accustomed.

Guards regularly ask MUC po­

nes Security,” Duncker said, refer­ ring to guards hired by McGill University.

“We don’t need eighty-year old guys coming in. Who’s scared of weebles?

We call the cops.”

Ba rn e s s e c u rity could not be reached for comment.

Duncker explained that most fights in the pubareover

QUEBEC STUDENTS TO GET COMPUTER LOANS

McGill students may beeligeable for government-guaranteed loans to buy computers as soon as January.

Under the loan-guarantee program, full-time students who have studied for at least one semester at aQuebec university can receive a provincial government letter guaranteeing abank that they will repay their computer loan within one year of graduation.

“With one of those letters in your pocket, you can go into abank for a loan and know you’re going to get it,” Sarli explained.

Students who receive loans would then have to buy their computer through their university’s Coop.

The loan-guarantee plan would succeed COFIQ’s program - which offered government-guaranteed loans only to Quebec engineering students.

READ FOR THE BLIND

McGill’s Disabled Student Information office this weekannounced a search for volunteers to read books for blind students.

“We’re looking especially for peopleto readbiology, chemistry and Italian books,” office spokesperson Debra Chatfield said.

Volunteers put textbooks and journal articles on tape to comple­ ment an aging American library of texts for the blind. Some volun­ teers also commit one or two hours a week to helping blind students research in the library.

The grouphas “just caught up” with this semester’s demandfor read books, Chatfield said, and is now preparing texts for next semester.

Interested volunteers are invited to contact Chatfield at 398-6009, or at the Information Centre room 206,3637 Peel S t UNION BUILDING EXPANSION

Fifteen SSMU councillors, including the Student Society’s execu­ tive, will ask student council toconsiderexpandingtheUnion building at its meeting next Tuesday.

The plan could involve either building an addition to the studentowned building over its adjacent parking lot or renting additional office space elsewhere. It is part of a three point agenda for 1990 prepared by councillors at a six-hour retreat Saturday. Councillors.

Retreat Chairperson Charles Robison said the agenda is almost certain to be passed by the 36-member council.

McGill students will go to the polls on Tuesday and Wednes­ day this week to vote on three ammendments to the Students’ Society (SSMU) constitution.

Students will be asked to ap­ prove ending the University Y ear, thefiscal yearandtheCVC food sevrices year at the same time. SSMU leaders hopesuch a measure would make it easier to audit student services and de­ crease the SSM U’s administra­ tion costs byas much as$ 10,000.

The student referendum should also decide whether or not part-time students can run for SSMU executive positions.

p la g ued Gert’s Pub this year. Leather jack­ ets left unattended at tables have been the main targets of these crimes. Gert’s has responded by instituting a coat-check policy at the door.

Both violenceandtheft atMcGill maybetheresult of weekend-night overcrowding in the Student Un­ ion. Complaints of overwhelming heat and intense discomfort are common at Gert’s and at events held in the Union ballroom. Fire regulations concerning the maxi­ mum capacities of the rooms are often ignored by the events’ pro­ moters.

Albert Vaskoviks, building manager of the Student Union building, said massive crowds make it ditficult to always re­ main within the capacity regula­ tions.

“Combined, the ballroom and room 302 have a capacity of 460 people. But there have been 600 people in there. What can you do about it? Peoplejust come stream­ ing in,” he explained.

At Gert’s, some pub workers have suggested putting bathrooms in the pub and opening a door di­ rectlybetweenGerf s andthestreet in order to restrict movement through the Union building’s lobby.

“Our job as security guards has been made extra-difficult because we have to be aware of everything going on the Union building, not just in Gert’s,” Duncker explained.

concern that candidates without full course loads might not take the obligations of their offices seriously.

The referendum’s most con­ troversial question concerns in­ creasing representation of dif­ ferent faculties on the Student’s Council. If adopted, the ammendment would increase the number of seats for graduate students on Council from 9% to 20%. SSMU leaders hope that such anammendment will quell graduate student calls for full separation from SSMU. Many councillors, including the SSMU Executive, feel that this increased graduate repre­ sentation will bemoreequitable.

Graduateleaders fear, however, that the increased graduate rep­ resentation at the SSMU coun­ cil would diminish the influ­ ence of the Post Graduate Stu­ dent Society (PGSS) Executive, since graduate representatives not acting in the PGSS would still be eligible to sit on Coun­ cil. Graduate leaders continue to demand full separation from the SSMU.

There are57 daysleft until 1990 as I write this, and it seems that a bad caseof end-of-decade-mania is upon us. The press (a group I tend to associate mentally with

the three witches of M a c b e t h f a r e not shy about jumping as one onto the same trends. By the time we ac­ tually reach the end of the Eighties we w ill, I am sure, have heard enough about them (r e m e m b e r Miami Vice? R e m e m b e r L iv e A id ?

R e m e m b e r I r a n g a t e ? ) to give us a healthy collective urge to vomit.

The glut of pseudo-analytic nos­ talgia andtrivia-gathering so far has been immense. M u s ic ia n magazine devoted more than 40 pages this month to a self-important analysis of 80s music, culminating in Jon Bon Jovi’stypically profound state­ ment: “This was the decade of us, that’s for sure.” Can’t get anything past that guy, eh? P r e m i e r e looked back at the decade in movies - who could forget H o w a r d th e D u c k ?

R o l li n g S t o n e , which feeds off of the shameless selling of nostalgia, did its usual arbitrary job selecting the best 100 albums of the 80s - you could practically feel their pain on discovering that John Lennon is mostly ineligible for the decade. I

Would that this were all of it Alas, we’re also somewhat close to the end of the millenium, and writers everywhere are already lining up to say stupid things about th a t.

So far, themost famous example hasbeenthatofFrancis Fukuyama, aYale grad and current U.S. State Department official. Fukuyama penned a little piece this summer called “The End of History?” The essay, which has been very popu­ lar in the brainless depths of gov­ ernment in Washington, suggests that the current American system is the endpoint of human develop­ ment - especially bad news, if you’re homeless. Surely this is proof that you don’t need to be a philosophy student to misinterpret Hegel.

The McGill Tribune help discuss this horror of a dec­ ade, I have to wonder why. For all the talk about what has been and what is to come, we seem as eager as always to repeat our mistakes.

Just look around you: Child prodigy/freak Debbie Gibson releases her Electric Youth perfume, a garishly packaged, bestial scent. And you thought it was bad enough when people wanted to smell like Cher.

A comic making a recent ap­ pearanceat McGill insults women, African-Americans, homosexuals, and ethnic groups - for an appre­ ciative audience.

And, all over campus, some students see more Eighties greed as a cure for society’s ills, while others favour the idea of protest and activism (though few of them actually a t t e n d the marches). As they have fun debating the point, the university’s buildings andbank accounts crumble into dust...

The second level is working within SSM U as well, a SSMU itself whose council rep­ unified student front can be estab-

lished.

As ajustification for secession, thePGSS executiveclaims that the trend across Canadais towards two separate associations. Perhaps.

However, in these cases, graduate associations began independently or they were not independent in the first place. This is not the case at McGill. Furthermore, in Québec, two of the strongest and most ef­ fective student associations, those at the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Université de Montréal, have graduates and undergraduates working together.

As for actual representation, it should benoted that between 1960 and 1987,20% of all the executive positions on SSMU havebeenheld by graduate students. During this period, 6 executives hadamajority of graduate student members.

Nonetheless, it is true that at pres­ ent graduate students are not pro­ portionately represented on SSM U’s council. This must be rectified, and the present referen­ dum question will do just that by giving 8 of 40 seats on the ex­ panded council to graduate stu­ dents. In addition, there is also the possibility that graduate students

The whole issue boils down to one of student representation. The PGSS maintains that secession is the only way in which to proceed.

SSMU maintains otherwise. Both graduates and undergrads have worked together in the past, and with arestructured SSMU council the concerns of graduate students can be met The student agenda is facing achallenging and complex future. Working separately w ill only makeeffective progress more difficult to achieve. Rather than wasting our energy fighting over separation, we should bedirecting our efforts towards working to­ gether for thebenefit of students at McGill. That’s why it’s important creasedgraduate studentrepresen­ tation on SSMU Council.

Deadlines for McGill medical school applicants arefastapproach­ ing and admissions officers say theyarelooking for adiversegroup ofpeopleto makenext year’s fresh­ man class.

Out-of-province students must apply by December 1. Québec university students face a Febru­ ary 1 deadline. CEGEP students applyingto McGill’s five year med school program must hand in their applications by March 1.

The applicationprocedureevalu­ ates applicants’ academic, leader­ ship and communication skills.

According to Medical Representa­ tive to the Senate Lome Wiesenfeld, “the Medical School is look­ ing for people who would make good doctors, and these qualities are essential.”

McGill’s Faculty of Medicine is considered to be one of North America’s mostrespected medical schools.

In an interview with the T rib u n e . , Dr. Donald Lawrence, Faculty of Medicine Associate Dean of Admissions, explained that, “per­ sonal factors indicate whether the applicants get along with others and whether they are able to com­ municate well with others.” He added that his Faculty is looking for integrity, curiosity, and hon­

esty in its applicants.

McGill’s medical school asks for three letters of reference andan autobiographical essay. “We em­ phasize the personal letters and look farther than marks,” Dr. Lawrence said.

The resultof such strict demands is a diverse class.

Wiesenfeld’s classmates include students with physiotherapy, phys­ ics and biochemestry undergradu­ ate degrees, one student with a master’s degreein engineeringand anun. Le if Hass, another medical student, added that one woman in his class had worked as a puppet­ eer for two years before coming to medical school. ' To further encourage diversity, many students are accepted from outside Québec and Canada. In this year’s year-one class, 101 students are from Québec, 35 are from other provinces, and 24 are from the United States.

“McGill has a tradition of hav­ ing American students,” Dr. Law­ rence said.

Faculty of Arts students are also encouragedto apply to theFaculty of Medicine. “McGill doesn’t frown onanarts student”, remarked Wiesenfeld.

Students can apply to medical school at two stages of their aca­ demic careers; after CEGEP, or from an undergraduate program.

Québec students canapply from

CEGEP to the five year program.

This program includes one year of pre-med in the Faculty of Science and four years in the Faculty of Medicine. The undergraduate applicants enter a four year pro­ gram, must write the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), and take the required science courses.

The applicants to the five year program (Med P) do not have to write the MCAT but must take the required science and math courses in CEGEP. Out of a class of 160 medical students about fifty are usually Med P’s.

The Faculty of Medicine usu­ ally receives about1300 applica­ tions each year. An admissions comittee then reviews the applica­ tions. The admissions comittee has 37 members, consisting of mem­ bers of the Faculty of Medicine including six medical students, three members of the general pub­ lic and representatives from other faculties suchas thenursing school.

One third of the 1300 applicants are interviewed either in Montréal or on the west coast. Two inter­ views are given, one of which is given by aphysician.

One third of the interviewed students are then accepted by the admissions comittee. An applicant who is not accepted may apply a second time, but is discouraged from applying a third time.

Last Thursday m ore than thirty students tried a 'disability for a day' to raise awareness at M cGill of the obstacles faced by the disabled every day. During the event, sponsored by QPIRG and die T nb, some students were blindfolded, some in wheelchairs. This week's feature is a record of their experience.

Making them late SSMUPresidentSantoMannaand VPFinance Jean-Charles Viens were late for a meeting with Principal Johnson last Thursday. They had not realized how long it would take them to get into the administration building in a wheelchair.

When they did eventually arrive, with CBC journalists in tow. Princi­ pal Johnson came out of his office for an impromptu press conference.

He gave sudents credit for changes that have already taken place at McGill, particularly the referendum in which “studentsvoluntarily started a compulsory fee payment” to im­ prove services for the disabled on campus. Projects financed by this fee include the access ramp in front of the Union building.

Students who participated in the Disabled Awareness Day carried a petition organized by Rassemble­ ment des Consommateurs Handicapé(e)s de Montréal to be presented to an open council of the Montréal Urban Community on November 20 requesting improved transportation for thedisabled in the city. Johnson signed a copy of the petition carried by Loretta Tremain, co-cordinator of Disabled Aware­ ness Day. The organizers were pleased at the response during the day from students, as well. Commented Loretta Tremain, "Obviously living with adisability can't be replicated, but this short trial period seemed to have touched people significantly.

The red ramp installed by the S SMU at theStudent Union Build­ ing last year was a major step in making McGill more accessible to disabled students. However, it ) is only one of the many changes needed to facilitate access on campus. Physical barriers are not theonly obstacles for thedisabled.

A lack of understanding on the part of able-bodied students and staff also has an effect on their lives.

“Disabled students have a low profile on campus,” says Peter Mark, a blind student “They [disabled students] often view their time at McGill asjust getting their studies behind them, and thereforedonotget integrated into the system.”

“Because of low involvement, every disabled student who starts getting involved has to break the ice for the first time,” added Loretta Tremain. As a Disabled

y o n d p h y s ic a l b a rrie rs Awareness Day coordinator, shealso commented on the problems of ac­ cess to extracurricular activities.

“The more visible disabled stu­ dents become on campus, the more everyone w ill become aware of the obstacles they faceevery day. This is essential if we are going to bring about change in this area,” she commented.

“In many instances, the disabled must dependonablebodiedpeople’s cooperation,” says Tremain. Few significant changes occur due to unilateral action by the disabled community. For instance in 1986, thejoint senate/board committee for disabled students was established.

Since its inception, there has been a student referendum. Students voted :o support a two dollar per semester evy to develop services to improve iccess for disabled students.

Meribeh Aikens, campus coordiîator for disabled students, notes ‘Although there are many frustraions and much to be accomplished, am very encouraged with the prog­

ress we have madeover the last two years.” A van was purchased this summer to facilitate movement be­ tween classes, and an elevator is being installed in Wilson Hall.

Some services cannotbeprovided withoutjoint efforts. A reading serv­ ice, staffed by volunteers, exists at

“ there are never enough bicycle racks” McGill in which books are read out loud into atape for use by the blind.

This year $15,000 has been allo­ cated to purchase a Kurzweil ma­ chine, a machine that translates written text onto a tape. Despite the intended purchase there is still a need for volunteers to staff the read­ ing service. Aikens says “most people have a short lifespan as vol­ unteers.”

Despite these positive steps, there are still problems at McGill. Space

>m is to tally impossible - there ju s t this have no idea how I w ould have swung to cheat”

planning coordinator for physical plant at McGill Chuck Adler says “there are never enough bicycle racks: we install dozens every year.

Education is the key component.”

Avid cyclist Allison Seymour re­ sponds, “for the number of cyclists there are on campus, there is not even ten percent of the number ol racks necessary. As well, the racks have to be in places where they are used.”

Beyond bicycles blocking ramps, thereareother day-to-day aspects of a disabled person’s life to keep in mind. Cars block curbcuts, thereare no reserved parking spaces for the disabled, elevator doors close too fast and vending machines are inac­ cessible.

The object of disabled awareness day was to raise awareness of these issues, andcreateaforce of disabled and able-bodied students who will make disabled students’ lives eas­ ier.

Promusica's Hagen Quartet a compelling combination

BY JASON ARBUCKLE

The stage at the Place des Arts was dull and colourless. An im­ mense white backdrop contrasted with a matte black floor. Yet this only heightened the mesmerizing influence that the Hagen Quartet with their brilliant interpretations of Mozart, Ligeti and and Beethoven - was able to wield over the audience in the Theatre Mai­ sonneuve.

The programme that was se­

_

lected by the Austrian quartet was adynamic one, well suited to their youthful virtuosity. The String Quartet in E flat Major, K. 171 sig­ nalled a new stage in Mozart’s writing, as the young composer tried to incorporate some of Josef Haydn’s innovations. But the light and gallant style, a product of his Italian travels, was still felt and was executed delightfully by the Hagen Quartet. In the last move­ ment, atriple-time Allegro assai, it was a marvel to see the synchron-

musician that the Quartet was able to summon.

Beethoven’s String Quartet in C Major, Opus 59 No. 3 also repre­ sented a new development. The so-calledRazumovsky Quartetsare among his most experimental music. Notsurprisingly, their early nineteenth-century audience re­ ceived these quartets with a mix­ ture of disdain and acclaim.

Beethoven’s wise response was: “Oh, they are not meant for you,

The HagenQuartet was well able topresent this quartet to alater age, by capitalizing on the power of Beethoven’s music with their admirable technique. The sensual­ ity that is felt throughout the four movements is periodically height­ ened by outbursts of triumph, a central theme for Beethoven.

Gyorgy Ligeti, aEast European composer who had fled Budapest for Austria in 1956, provided the most riveting quartet for the Hagens’, and was their most com­ pelling performance. As with many of Ligeti’s compositions, his First String Quartet is composed as a single movement. Its original title, “Métamorphoses nocturnes,” un­ derlines the dark, mysterious feel of the piece. The quartet demands vigorous, innovative skill; the Hagens plucked and stroked their strings to createpowerful andeery

sical composers, the impact of Ligeti’s modem work was height­ ened. Judging from the thunder of applause generated, it had amuch appreciated impact.

Siblings Lukas, Clemens and Veronika Hagen, joined by Rainer Schmidt, have been performing together for over half their lives.

They haveimpressed international audiences with mature interpreta­ tions not often seen among musi­ cians so young (the oldest of the four is 27). Meanwhile, their suc­ cess in competitions is attested to by a trove of international prizes.

The Hagen Quartet has selected a challenging program, yet it was one that their vigorous talent was well able to present.

The Hagen Quartet was the sec­ ondperformance of thePromusica concert series, which runs on Monday nights.

Engineering Flagball ends on a high note

Even though there are fewer women than men in Engineering, they managed to field ten teams.

The structure is similar to themen’s with the top six teams advancingto thepost-season andthebottomtwo fighting it out not to take the Knob Cup. The second-year electrical women’s team, theDemon Diodes, showed the men how to do it, squeakingby fourth-year mechani­ cal Loose Screws 7-6 to capture the title. The first-year civil team, Shear Force, was granted the title of Knobs of the year, as the Toxic Avengers bestowed that honour upon them, 14-8.

As you walked through campus to your classes this fall, you proba­ bly noticeddifferent football teams battling it out on the muddy re­ mains of the lower campus field.

No, they weren’t doing it for the stardom or even for the lucrative television commercial offers.

There is amuchhigher calling here - the rich engineering tradition of flagball.

To help all engineering students survive the fall term, theEngineer­ ing Undergraduate Society (EUS) organize men’s andwomen’s flagball.

For themen’s season, the smaller departments ofChemical,Civil and Mining and Metallurgical gener­ ally field one team while the larger Mechanical and Electrical depart­ ments field two. The result is a twenty team league with two divi­ sions. Each teamplays every other within its division over the course oftheseasontodeterminetherights for post-season play. The top six teams in each division advance to

the playoffs, with the top two re­ ceiving byes past the first round.

The winning teams advance to the quarter and semi-finals and ulti­ mately to the championship game.

On the other side of the flagball spectrum, the bottom team in the

two divisions square off in the Kelvin Cup game (Kelvin as in absolute zero), with the loser, of course, taking home the storied Cup. The men’s season ended when the underdog 4th year mechanical

teamPseudo Force suprised Alco­ hol Injection in the championship with a very spirited [sic] 17-7 win.

Earlier in the day,'the Electric Shockers captured the glory of Kelvin, losing to Architecture’s Flying Butts, 6-0.

So seemingly the season ends before it has begun, and although theyear hadits shareof ups, downs and fabled excuses (if our entire teamd id n ' t haveamidterm tomor­ row ...). Even though the next flagball season is ayear away, you will soon be able to hear the colourful language of engineering once again, asb r r r r o o o o m b a l l season is scheduled to begin next term.

Morrison, Bournival propel Martlets against Bishop's ..

The McGill Martlet hockeyteam played 57 minutes of very solid hockey, and even had a 3-1 lead with three minutes remaining. But in the end, the Martlets had to settle for a3-3 tie against the visit­ ing Bishop’s Polar Bears at McConnell Winter Stadium on Saturday night.

“We played well for the whole game, except the last three shifts”, saidassistantcoach GeoffZilkalns.

Bishop’s scored two goals in the last 2:50 of the third period to sal­ vage a tie, and ruin the finest of goalkeepingefforts byLucie B ournival.

Morrison gaveMcGill a1-0 lead at 13:27 of the first period, onetiming a nice set up pass by left winger Darlene Bogusz.

Bishop’s played very well in the opening period, but had nothing to show for it, as Bournival came up with some outstanding stops. On

Her third goal was set-up again

by Bogusz. Morrison was all alone in front, and simply tapped the centering pass past the goalie to give McGill a seemingly unsurmountable lead early in the third period.

The tie gives McGill two wins, two losses and a tie. They have beaten John Abbott College 7-2 and Trois-Rivières 3-2, while los­ ing 2-1 to Trois Rivieres and 10-0 to Concordia.

The team employs a basic twoline system. Morrison centers Bogusz on the left and Chella Tingle ontheright. JenniferWright centers Alyson Fournier andAdri­ enne Lawlor. Diane Playle, Véronique Gingras, Wendy Bain, and Tricia Morrison anchor the blue line for head coach Peter Baylis.

“We’re looking forward to fin­ ishing the year with a winning record and a spot in the playoffs”, said Baylis. “It’s been a building thing for over the last three sea­ sons. It’s beenaconstant improve­ ment from year to year. Overall I’m very pleased with the effort we’ve shown this far.”

CIAU first-team all-star Barbara Bruckert managed the only goal for the Martlets in the sixty-ninth minute, who finish the season with a 6-3-1 record.

In Saturday’s semifinal against Acadia, striker Jane Shaw was chosen as the game’s most valu­ able player as the Martlets edged out aclose one, 3-2. Shaw notched her fourth goal of the year, while CIAU first-team all-star Natalie

This year the Martlets took their first ever Québec University Soc­ cer League (QUSL) title. All sea­ son, this team has shown that with a little dedication and hard work, expectations can be surpassed.

6-0-2 league record, for the ninth time in the last ten years. It seems that luck is never on this team’s side, as last year they made it all the way to the final, and lost 1-0 to Toronto. The team has won the national championship twice this decade.

Over the past ten seasons, the Redmen have lost only three of eighty-three QUSL games. This year, the Redmen placedtwo play­ ers on the CIAU first-team all-star, mid-fielder J.P. Vialard and sweeper Julian Barrow. Striker John Hayward, whq led the team with twelve goals, and won his fourth Q USL scoring crown, was selected to the second team.
