There’s something pretty spe­ cial about this time o f year. What with end-of-term essays and ex­ ams, the nightmare o f winter in the city, and the endless bank loans to finance holiday gifts, it’s all one can do to sit back now and then, relax, and go slowly insane.

Call me sentimental...

At this point there are only four days left until the end of term, so anybody who’s actually found time to read this in between hunt­ ing down library books and Coles Notes can consider themself lucky. As the slush piles up and is occasionally removed by those lackadaisical folks from the MUC, McGill students are in a study panic, trying to force another four hundred words of profundity on Jacobean drama or another few calculus formulae out of their addled brains.

Now, I know some of you feel that your work at this time of year is hurt by the lack of time; but take heart from the almost certain knowledge that others in your class are screwing up so much that you’ll look good by compari­ son. Your work will probably be marked arbitrarily by an over­ worked TA anyway, so don’t worry too much.

And then, horribly, come ex­ ams. By this point you’ve been surviving for weeks on little sleep and an excessive amount of choco­ late, coffee, and Coke. This means that if you actually manage to stay conscious for the three hours

TO THE EDITOR:

of the exam, you probably passed.

There, that wasn’t so bad, was it?

If only that were all; but there’s so much more to do. Take the Stones concert. Please. For such a metropolitan city, Montréal has been unusually excited about this event Every newspaper, radio and television station is lavishing at­ tention on...on what? On a group of men whose combined age is well over 200 years - though at least one of their wives isn’t even old enough to drink legally in Ontario. Mick Jagger earns about $10,000 every time he performs Satisfaction on this tour. For that kind of cash, he should perform it in our living rooms - and pay for drinks afterwards.

Still, it’s also the holiday sea­ son - that delightful period that starts with the first Christmas sales, at midnight on the day after La­ bour Day. I’d hate to say that things have gotten a little com­ mercial these days, but my picture of a traditional Christmas just isn’t big enough to accomodate a Christmas album by New Kids on the Block. Nor, for that matter, can I seem to squeeze in a TV ad I saw recently for festive red and green lingerie. Santa would blush.

Let’s reject that crass commer cialism and give our best wishes to people in this season. My holi day wish list is something like this: To Students’ Society I would give a bullhorn, so they can make sure somebody is listening.

To the administration I would give...actually, what do you give the university that has nothing?

Not money, if you’re the govern­ ment To Premier Bourassa I would give a plane ticket, anywhere, before it’s too late.

To McGill students I give a couple weeks’ break from me, and - just this once - unironic good wishes for exams and the holi­ days.

The comments of Carol Richard from the City of Montréal Traffic Department in your article on the recent death of a pedestrian on Pine Avenue outside the Currie Gym nasium infuriated me (“McGill ‘Pining’ for new traffic lights”[November 21-27].)

She explains that every request for a new set of traffic lights in the City usually takes two months to process. I don’t know when she started counting. I met with City Councillor John Gardiner in Octo­ ber, 1986, and received Gardiner’s commitment to get action on the pedestrian safety problems around McGill. In particular, he commit­ ted himself to looking into traffic lights as the McTavish/Penfield comer and outside the Gym. He said that the situation was particulary important because the resi­ dents o f the “Durocher Village” had complained about the site as well. Gardiner is now the powerful City Executive responsible for urban planning. The McTavish/ Penfield traffic light has been in­

stalled, but nothing has happened on Pine.

I deeply regret that again a pe­ destrian has died because there has been no action from the City. I also regret not having pushed the file more diligently in 1986. That the City of Montréal is treating this situation as a new request for traf­ fic lights is an insult to my prede­ cessor, Luc Jolicoeur, who was instrumental in documenting the pedestrian safety problems around McGill for the City administra­ tion.

Officials of the McGill adminstration have also long been aware of the Pine Avenue situation. They have decided to put aside those problems when dealing with the City in order not to jeopardize the A thleitics Com plex project.

Frankly, this strategy can no longer continue. Now is the time for all McGill staff and students to de­ mand an end to this shameful situ­ ation.

Sincerely, Ian Brodie SSMU VP (External Affairs) 1986-87

Hey boys and girls, have you started thinking about switching to gas heating yet? Well most of NDG has started thinking about it They were without power for over 3 days last week.

They were not the only lucky customers in the Hydro Québec lottery of blackout suprises. Other winners included the Québec Fédération deLabour, as someone probably cut the line just a little too close to home. Or was it Hydro performing some of their famous bargaining tactic (whoops that should be maintenance).

Meanwhile the fun and games continue. Over 100 subscribers in the Henri Julien - Jean Talon area were without power for roughly an hour yesterday, as Hydro was performing maintenance (or should that be bargaining tatics). But that's not all! Hydro also decided that it was a good time for some power sharing in the Outrement - Cote des Nieges area. According to Hydro Québec spokesman Yves Barette the area should be without power until early last night. Then again they said that NDG would have there power back in a couple of hours... . _ _

Days since the last I 1 blackout: w

the victims: many nameless, and very cold faces throughout Québec

the B oard to delay voting on the C asual Policy until student and academ ic groups could be con­ sulted.

N onetheless, governors voted on the proposal in early N ovem ber w ithout reading the full proposal.

Speaking to reporters last week, G overnor G retta C ham bers ex­ plained that adm inistrators told the B oard “ the policy was too com pli­

cated” to be fully explained to them.

K ate M orisset, SSM U Vice P resident (U niversity A ffairs), explained that last M onday’s jo in t meeting left her unsatisfied about the health o f M cG ill’s decision­ m aking process.

“I didn ’t leave the meeting know ­ ing w here w e had gone w rong and w here w e are to go from here,” M orisset said.

“W e m ust develop apian to avoid future conflicts.”

M c G ill ty r a n n y ” all professionals with business experience. W e don’t need to be babysat by the U niversity.”

O sborne and M ACES V ice P resident (External) D aryl Salama also suggested that the com m ittee itself is stacked. The com m ittee is to be chaired by A ssociate VicePrincipal Sam K ingdon, and in­ cludes M cG ill T reasurer Stuart Budden, D ean o f C ontinuing E du­ cation Pam ela Stew art, and two M ACES representatives. MACES is insisting that their president also sit on the com m ittee to defend his organization.

M ACES claim s it already ful­ filled its accounting responsibili­ ties w hen it sent financial docu­ m ents to M cG ill’s Senate on O cto­ ber 23. O sborne suggests that in creating the review com m ittee, Bourke m ay have breached Sen­ a te ’s authority, and he expects this issue to b e raised at a Senate m eet­ ing on W ednesday.

“T he left hand doesn’t know w hat the right is doing,” said Osborne.

T he adm inistration is not swayed by such argum ents.

Tensions betw een M cGill and one of its largest student organiza­ tions w orsened last w eek as C on­ tinuing Education student leaders proclaim ed that they are “prepared to lead the fight against the U ni­ versity’s tyranny.”

Conflicts betw een the adm ini­ stration and M A CES (M cG ill A ssociation o f C ontinuing E duca­ tion Students), w hich represents over 17,000 students, have been raging for several weeks.

L ast month, M ACES fired its U niversity-appointed director af­ ter he w as observed reading MACES executive’s mail. Then, on N ovem ber 7, M cG ill SecretaryG eneral R. D avid B ourke froze MACES ’ funds. F orm er M ACES director P eter M cN aughton, how ­ ever, is apparently still being paid with M ACES funds. B ourke also created a review com m ittee to in­ vestigate charges that M ACES m isused its finances.

M ACES president Jim O sborne claim s his executive is “n ot in fi­ nancial trouble whatsoever. W e are

“W e w ouldn’t be setting up this com mittee if w e didn ’t believe there appear to h av e been serious breeches o f the agreem ent [gov­ erning the M cG ill-M A CES rela­ tionship],” said K ingdon.

B ut O sborne and Salam a ques­ tion the validity o f the four-yearold agreem ent K ingdon m entions.

They say that Senate Secretary S heüa S heldon-C ollyer had doubts about the old agreem ent and had drafted a new agreem ent with them .

“W e’ve been ju st w aiting to sign it since Septem ber,” said O sborne.

“T hey’ve been leading us on.”

N either Bourke nor S heldonC ollyer could be reached for com ­ ment.

“T he issue is no longer funds or a director. It’s the U niversity’s interference w ith a student soci­ ety,” said Osborne.

“It could happen to any student organization.”

S tu d en ts’ S ociety P resid en t Santo M anna says SSM U ’s funds could not b e frozen, b ut he agreed that student groups should be co n ­ cerned.

H ope and cynicism from inside South Africa Thefollowing article, written by Simon Pamphilon o f the South African Student’s Press Union (SASPU), is the second installment o f a news exchange between the Tribune and South Africa's stu­ dent news network.

The exchange, which began during South Africa’s elections in September, is Canada's only regu­ lar news contact with South A f­ rica’s student press.

This week, Pamphilon evaluates recent reforms in his country.

BY SIM O N (SASPU)

P A M PH IL O N

JOHANNESBURG - At a sur­ face level it does seem that huge changes have taken place here. In the past few months we have seen things which were previously un­ thinkable - legal protest marches, police condemning police violence, the desegregation of buses, ANC leaders released from long-term imprisonment, moves towards scrapping the Separate Amenities Act and so on...

But one must ask why these things have happened.

Margaret Thatcher chose to be­ lieve that it was because [South African State President FW] De Klerk was sincere, and used that to justify her plea for patience at the recent Kuala Lumpur Com­ monwealth Conference. But many South Africans are not as optimis­ tic.

“Whatever reforms the govern­ ment has implemented - whatever humanity it has shown - it has only us to thank for it,” says Farid Esack, Western Cape leader o f the United Democratic Front (UDF).

Esack recalls that, in 1977, Jus­ tice Minister Jimmy Kruger said Steve Biko’s death “leaves me

Movement - we compelled him to adopt that outlook.”

Lyndsay Falkov, president of the opposition National Union of South African Students (N U SA S), agrees.

“The reforms which have taken place since 1976 have all been the result of pressures exerted by the democratic movement and by the international community. They are not the result of any willingness on the part of the government to adapt its policies.”

tional Party policy. Rather they are part of a strategy which has been implemented for well over a dec­ ade - a reform coupled with repres­ sion.

“Whether it has been reform backed up by repression or repres­ sion backed up by reform the ob­ jective of this strategy has been the same - to bypass demands for a democratic, non-racial society,”

“sophistication of white minority rule”.

“They’ve been pushed into a position where they have had to do away with the more overt forms of apartheid,” he explains.

“But they have not made any attempt to free the political proc­ ess. Organisations are still banned, troops still patrol the townships and black campuses. Government

Cynical On the whole, opposition fig­ ures are cynical about the Nation­ alist government’s sincerity - and with good reason: •While protest marches have been allowed in cities, demonstra­ tions in smaller towns (where there is little media coverage) have been banned and protestors have been arrested, baton-charged and teargassed. In some places, journalists have been detained briefly or or­ dered to leave the area.

•In early November there were rumours thatthegovemment would repeal those sections of the Emer­ gency regulations which affect the media. Then government wamec' the opposition N e w N a tio n news paper it faced closure under those regulations.

•The ANC was allowed to rally in Soweto, and to hear speeches from the founders of its military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation). But a few days later a number o f people were arrested for wearing ANC stickers and Tshirts. Three ANC members were recently sentenced to prison terms ranging from 18 to 25 years.

•Following the hunger strike, the government released hundreds of

Hope: South Africans cheer the release of ANC leaders. says Falkov.

A politics lecturer at the Univer­ sity of South Africa, Dirk Kotze, calls the strategy one of “contain­ ment”.

“In a recent TV interview, Vlok explained that permission given for protest marches and also the Soweto rally was based on the belief that it will allow the masses to become discharged of political tensions and emotions.”

Kotze said the apparent easing

is still hanging political prisoners.

And they are still trying to co-opt minority groupings o f black South Africans into their political re­ forms, only now they’re doing so by negotiation.”

A UDF document reminds read­ ers that South Africa increased both its military and police budgets by more than 2 0 percent in the first quarter of 1989.

“The government is talking peace while preparing for war,” the document concludes.

Five-year plan Nonetheless , govern­ ment has had some suc­ cess with its reform pack­ age - notably Thatcher’s antics and the extension of a payment deadline for its foreign debt. Butin the long run it is facing prob­ lems which cannot be solved by any amount of strategising.

Cynicism: Violence rocked reforms two years ago. cold.” But earlier this year, Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok said the death of just one hunger striker “would be a tragedy South Africa could not afford”.

“It’s a small spark of humanity,” Esack says, “but one for which one must thank the Mass Democratic

As for the current economic cri­ sis, the plan talks only of “making progress in respect of the housing needs of rapidly urbanising groups, at affordable limits.” There is no mention of 5 million homeless people in need o f40,000 houses to be built every year. It similarly ignores the fact that 6.5 million blacks are unemployed - outnum­ bering National Party supporters

detainees. But in the meantime it has continued to detain activists.

Containment strategy These incidents do not necessar­ ily point to contradictions in Na-

of the State of Emergency did not weaken the government’s security wing. Rather, government has recognized that a solution to the country’s tension must be 80 per­ cent political and 20 percent mili­ tary.

Falkov calls the present moves a

Its vision of the future is based on a “Five-Year Plan” unveiled in a the run-up to September’s elections - a plan which -even normally-sympathetic commentators have criticised.

The plan does not respond to the opposition’s preconditions for ne­ gotiation: the unbanning of politi­ cal organizations, the lifting of the State o f Emergency and the re­ lease of political prisoners.

five-to-one.

Then at a political level, the plan does not meet the central demand of most South Africans - universal sufferage in a unitary state. Instead it talks about groups, and the pro­ tection of group rights - a notion which has been criticized even by state legal experts. A law commis­ sion headed by a governmentappointee concluded that S.A. courts had never recognized an entity known as a “group” or “minority” which could enforce rights.

The plan reveals a Nationalist vision; an entrenchment of apart­ heid, white miniority rule, justi­ fied by the claim that the political, cultural and religious interests of whites need to be protected. (But as one newspaper’s editorial pointed out, the “white group” is one which is “neither culturally coherent, nor linguistically uni­ form, nor politically united, nor even very religious.)

The events which have taken place in the past few months need to be seen in this light. Democratic organizations have rejected Thatcher’s approach, and asserted that the international community cannot be “patient” or give DeKlerk time - that National Party reforms are an attempt to buy time so they can continue to exclude the major­ ity of South Africans from politics.

As Dirk Kotze puts it: “The experiences of Southern Africa have taught us that pressure is the only force that will move Pretoria - not a self-induced change of heart.” page /

J.C.'s Message The Students’ Society of McGill University is enjoying one of its strongest financial positions in years. More than ever the SSMU has the means to achieve its goals to serve and represent the students of McGill.

The 1989/90 operating budget is very promising to accomplish these goals. Groups funded by the SSMU were given the opportunity to present budget applications that reflected their true goals and objectives. Many other organizations were also encouraged to participate in improving the quality of student life at McGill.

In conclusion, not only does this budget offer the SSMU the opportunities to evolve positively toward the 1990 s but this year's programming and political representation appears to be stronger than ever.

Annie's after AIDS: Some progress, but a long way to go B Y P A U L H O R W IT Z _________

n o w th e m o s t d a n g e ro u s b a s o n s o f

Pubs - but are they still leaving with somebody new?

On a crowded night at Annie’s on Avenue du Parc, six young people talked about how their dat­ ing and sexual habits have changed in the face of concerns about AIDS and other STDs. An overview of their comments seems to show that lessons of sexual caution and re­ sponsibility have actually made it to the bar scene.

The youths - three of each sex ranged in age from 17 to 23, from CEGEP to private enterprise, and all say they spend a lot of time at Annie’s and other downtown bars.

“I practically live here,” said one, a 23-year-old who runs a renova­ tion business.

Said a 19-year-old female McGill student, “When people drink a lot, they don’t know ex­ actly what they’re doing, and they may end up with someone they’ll regret being with.”

The overwhelming reason for this caution was, indeed, concern over the spread of S TDs. Three out of the six subjects were already in steady relationships, while one admitted he was not very sexually active. Most of them said they believed in having sex only within a relationship. Evidently, though the bar scene is still popular, its raison d’etre has changed consid­ erably.

The case of one o f the students interviewed shows how much people’s habits have changed, and how far they still have to go. One 18-year-old in his first year at McGill, a student with a steady girlfriend, believes in the use of condoms, and is quite aware of the risk of STDs. “ I n e v e r h a d o n e ,” h e s a y s , “ a n d

Advertising se lls, b u t w h o's buyin g?

B Y P A U L H O R W IT Z

D ennis Bagley has a little prob­ lem . N ot his job: he is a successful advertiser, capable o f selling any­ thing to anyone. N ot his wife: Julia is an intelligent and beautiful woman, and their seventh anniversary is com ing up. D ennis’ problem is a little stranger than that: he has a large boil on his neck - and the boil can talk.

Such is the prem ise o f How to Get Ahead In Advertising, a new m ovie w ritten and directed by Bruce R obin­ son. R obinson is w ell know n as the director o f 1987’s Withnail and I, a very popular British film. Withnail fans will also be pleased to know that the role o f D ennis in this film is played by Richard E. Grant, who played W ithnail. U nfortunately, lightning didn’t strike twice.

T he m ovie starts at a ferocious pace, with Bagley in an advertising meeting show ing the crass manipu-

its talk consists at first o f ad clichés.

Soon, though, it is actively fighting w ith Bagley, until w e are not sure w ho will gain control.

Y es, it’s a great idea, and the m ovie approaches it with a sharp sense" o f humour. R obinson exag­ gerates onscreen events by using com ically m elodram atic music. If that w ere all, w e m ight still be left with a Very good movie, but then the lecturing starts. B agley’s (and, too obviously, R obinson’s) anger with advertising is that it helps destroy the environm ent. A good point, but Robinson, like so m any dilettantes w ho think they have convictions, lets his script get self-righteous and didactic. H e beats us over the head w ith the rainforest, and it quickly gets boring and insulting. Robinson should have considered the m oney and resources he w as using in mak­ ing the movie, and low ered his tone o f voice a little.

lation at the heart o f the selling busi­ ness. H e is the best in his field, but a new cam paign for a pim ple cream has found him short o f ideas. G rant does a superb jo b here, letting B a­ gley get progressively m ore manic and caustic until he rejects the con­ sum er w astefulness that he has been egging on in his job. T hen the boil appears...

Initially, the talking boil is a great idea. T he boil is the evil p art of Bagley that loves advertising, and

handled, issues overw helm the film.

By the tim e it reaches its conclu­ sion, the audience is grateful. R obin­ son is a funny m an, and G rant does not disappoint as Bagley; b ut it’s not enough. The m ovie lacks structure, and its heavy-handed m anner stops it from reaching the audience. Its politics are com m endable, b ut its condescension is not.

Things got hellish at about three in the morning. T he pizza w as gone, it was five hours until the A lley’s coffee m akers started percolating, and the Theatre Sports M arathoners w ere getting desperate. Creativity cannot survive on jellybeans alone.

O r can it?

A s the night w ore on, says M arc, a veteran o f last year’s m arathon, “ w e d id n ’t get boring. W e ju st got cruder.” H e stayed aw ake for all 24 hours and still m ade it to his re ­ hearsal o f T he B oyfriend the next morning.

T he adrenalin started coursing late Thursday night, w hen the players took their regularlO -11 show in The Alley as a w arm -up, then m oved up­ stairs to U nion 107/108 to officially start the m arathon at 11:00. C orrec­ tion; ‘m oved’ is too staid a w ord to describe the kinetic John M oore dancing on the ro o f o f Travel Cuts or Kim B instead shinnying up the bannister. The players got upstairs in a series o f freeze tableaux w hich dum bfounded the flourescent G erts’ Security and m ost o f the lobby. W hat were these strange people doing ?

A ctually, raising m oney for Tools For P eace w as the intent, but in the end the perform ers had to settle for the personal satisfaction o f being creatively hilarious for long stretches o f tim e. A lthough the m arathon raised S 545 last year, this year’s total w as a scant $260.

A total o f 2,014 gam es w ere played, proving that creativity and work really are incom m ensurate after a ll.

“G am es”, fo r those with a sadly restricted Theatresports vocabulary, structure the im provs. D uring the m arathon, the players stuck mainly to the “freeze” game, w hich do esn ’t re ­ quire audience par­ ticipation, because when a player gets an idea he or she yells “freeze!” and jum ps into the scene. The ta lk sh o w g am e, w hich takes a sug­ g e stio n from th e audience and am pli­ fies it into the truly tw isted and sick, was also popular. Hear E m m a talk about bunnies and other Creative A uto A cci­ dents. W atchR ob be­ come Endoplasm ic Reticulum .

Late at night, ac­ cording to K im , an ­ other two year vet­ eran with a convo­ luted sense o f hu­ m our, the gags got dow n to the real m ainstays o f com ­ edy: “sex, politics, and death.”

By 5:00 Friday n ig h t, the scenes w ere still in basics, giving the fam iliar a m acabre bent. Scott

ip is a game of ‘21’ - to get onto the same wavelength.

zes us back to the fifties, when M arily n , E lv is, and good o l’ horm ones pulled high schoolers one w ay, and Sex E ducation did its best to pull them the other with exciting, fun-filled virginity propaganda films like the ones above.

Film m akers O bie Benz and Pierce R afferty dug into the film, TV and m usic archives to develop this docum entary on sex, but to round out the picture they have mixed a little hip eig h ties’ insight in with the golly gee film clips: interview s with “ w itnesses” w ho survived the battle, T hese are the folks w ho actually w orried about w hat to do with gum at the doorstep at the end o f a date (no spitting out, a decidedly un-fiftiesh gesture), and lived to tell about

M arathon

“Oh yeah, and one tim e I was making out with m y boyfriend on the living room couch and all o f a sudden I had an orgasm . W hen I told my sister she ju st looked me with this blank face and said ‘You m ust be m istaken G irls can ’t have orgasm s.’”

Sexual m is-inform ation wafted through A m erica’s high schools like the sm oke from a Lucky Strike. As Zoe Tam erlaine (writer) puts it, “W e all knew w ho the bad girls were, but we w eren’t sure exactly w hat they did. “ A pparently G insberg, Spalding Gray, and A bbie H offm an did, and they aren ’t shy about recalling it.

Byrne wears a perm anent blush, but he goes into graphic detail about m ovie theatres and m asturbation along with the rest o f them. G ray is the funniest, describing how he would ponder the uses o f Davy C rockett hats at great length.

Heavy Petting does a good job o f re-creating the feel o f the fifties, in

The results o f the snip-and-splice editing are hilarious. Benz and R af­ ferty com bine footage o f girls in tight cashm ere sw eaters saying “N o!” with D avid Byrne discussing his assertive pubescent explorations “beyond the bases”. The m essage is clear: This decade m ay have had hypocrisy down to its smoothest... but kids will still be hom y no matter w hat behaviour m odification tech­ niques they are sm acked over the head with.

The interview -ees are an eclectic g ro u p , ra n g in g fro m S a n d ra B ernhard, (com edienne w ith crazy teeth), to Allen G insberg (Beat poet) to Jim D yer (ow ner o f a pow er tools store specializing in lawn equip­ m ent). The occupations are diverse, b ut it quickly becom es evident that they all were sliced up by the same sexual cookie cutter.

Thirty years ago, the two genders w ere sealed o ff from each other by “ Boys should do this” and “Girls

A .’s R obin bounds into the Batm an scene: “T he vase­ lin e’s ready B rucie!”

The scenes this year w ere longer and m ore intricate than last year’s. O ne o f the unanim ous favourites was “B illy’s D ream ”, in which the players torm ented de­ fenseless little B illy for tw enty im provs straight.

The perform ers all know each other well, so they can anticipate and build o ff each other’s sense o f hum our easily.

Says M arc, “From Scott, you know you can expect w eirdness and intensity.

From A dam , good p u nch­ lines. A nd John, w ho works as a new scaster, always gives very accurate politi­ cally correct statements.

Som etim es h e ’ll throw in stuff right o ff the wire, though, and we won ’t know w hat the hell h e’s talking about.”

Before every show , the group huddles in a co m er in the Union Basem ent behind CK U T, playing a gam e o f ‘2 1 ’ to get their m inds onto the sam e w avelength. The object is to go through the num bers up to 21 w ithout two people speaking at the sam e tim e, which usually takes about three m inutes.

O nce they are tuned into each other, the gags com e easily. W ithout that basic innate connection, D aniel

w ould probably have no idea what Scott was doing with that feather duster, and the hum our w ould fall flat.

B ut for the tw enty four hour improv m arathon, the connection stayed. A nd afterw ards, deep into Friday night, the w hole group went o ut for spaghetti. H um ans c a n ’t live forever on adrenalin alone.

The band, which form ed five years ago, draw s inspiration from all sorts o f places. T he group nam e com es from the M ichael N esm ith’s video “Elephant Parts” and one o f the songs from their latestalbum takes its name from a childhood memory.

It doesn’t end. L ike a T.V . mini series that snips off m id car jum p to conclude the follow ing Sunday, the Back to the Future saga is to be concluded on m ovie screens this sum m er. T he w ait m ay be longer than on TV , but if the second in­ stallm ent o f the series is any indi­ cation o f the quality, it will be w orth it.

Back to the Future: Part II lands in 1989 ju st long enough to tease audiences with the continuing ad­ ventures o f M arty M cFly (M ichael J. Fox) and D oc Brow n (Christo­ pher Lloyd). This tim e they are off to the future to save M arty ’s kids (a boy and a girl, both of whom are played by Fox). T he film opens w ith a replay o f the fam ous last scene from Part O ne - “It’s your kids Marty! Som ething’s got to be done about your kids,” and takes it from there, then. T he Doc pulls M arty into the souped up DeLorean tim e m achine and it’s off to the future.

A pparently during his solo trav­ els in the future Doc has discov­ ered som e troubling things. N ot only are our descendents up to the nineteenth installm ent o f Jaws the Movie, but the w hole M cFly fam ­

ily has gone s o f t M arty’s son is a w im p, his daughter is on drugs, and M arty, w ho no longer plays the guitar, has been reduced to listening to his boss scream “R ead my Fax! Y ou’re fired!”

O nce the tim e-travelling duo reach H ill Valley, circa 2015, the action is fast and furious, though at tim es it leaves the audience, and B iff “B uthead” Tanner, thinking “I ’ve seen this som ew here before.”

In the long run, fortunately, there is enough going on that the audi­ ence is challenged to keep up, and notice all o f the little details a t the sam e time.

D irector Bob Z em eckis’ (direc­ tor o f P art O ne and Roger Rabbit) has an interesting vision o f the future: It is today’s culture m agni­ fied a few hundred tim es. H overboards replace skateboards, eve­ rything is velcro, and there is a nostalgia cafe for the 1980’s. T his cafe features such fun things as L ifecycles, a R onald R eagan-like M ax H eadroom , and a collection o f old books, including the Sports Almanac, a book that contains the results o f all sporting events from 1950 to the year 2000. M arty buys the book, figuring that it co u ld n ’t hurt to m ake a few bucks along the way. B u tD o c,say in g ,“itis n ’trig h t

: sequel is just a tease

for one person to know too m uch about the future,” forces M arty to throw it away.

O nce Doc and M arty have set history right in the year 2015, they return to 1985 to go back to their norm al lives, and to dism antle the tim e m achine. H ow ever all is not w ell back in H ill Valley. A ppar­ ently som eone else has been p lay­ ing with history, and judging from the new landscape, w hich includes B if f s Pleasure Palace, they are able to guess who.

It seems that the geriatric B iff took the alm anac from the trash, borrow ed the tim e m achine, and gave the book to a m uch younger Biff. A rm ed w ith the Sports A lm a­ nac, B iff has becom e the richest m an in A m erica, an d the head o f a kingdom o f sleaze that stretches as far as the eye can see.

W hich all ju st goes to show that he who plays w ith history is going to have a few things to fix.

Both M arty and the D oc realize that som ething m ust b e done in order to reclaim the norm al 1985.

Thus, they decide to go back in tim e to steal the book from Biff, after the geriatric B iff has given it to the younger one. T his is because if they w ere to take it from the elder “butthead” he m ight not go back to

the future w hich w ould create a universal tim e-space equilibrium problem . Basically, this w ould be the w orst case scenario, m eaning the end o f the universe.

Pretty heavy stuff, b ut it does have Fox and L loyd interacting directly with their characters from the first film , causing a few anx­ ious m om ents as the action speeds

up even m ore, and even m ore prob­ lem s arise.

Problem s that m ay, or m ay not, b e solved this sum m er in P art III, w hich should, judging by its prede­ cessor’s be w ell w orth w aiting for.

For the m om ent though, P art II is fun and fast, even if it is a big tease.

I for one w ould not b e surprised if P art III ends by saying ‘T o be concluded in the w inter o f 1992.”

The w orst thing about Tuesday N ight C afé’sLi/ê and Lim b , w hich ran in M orrice H all N ov. 22-25, is that it is over.

This Keith Reddin play is a black com ed y th at re-evaluates the A m erican dream. T he story re­ volves around Franklin and Effie, a young m arried couple in N ew Jersey. Franklin’s golden dreams o f success are shattered when he loses his right arm during a tour of duty in Korea. E ffie and Franklin go through rough tim es, but m an­ age to hold their m arriage together, only to be separated again by a freak accident. Though everyone seem s to end up in H ell, an uplift­ ing and inspiring conclusion is still achieved.

H ats o ff to director M ym a W yatt Selkirk w hose use o f set and props w as creative and im aginative. The “intim ate” space o f M orris Hall, usually too cram ped, was ideal for Life and Limb and though the audience was stationed on tw o op­ posite sides o f the perform ance area, neither side w as excluded from the action. T he bridging o f scenes and acts with period music gave Life and Limb a continuity which is m issing from m any shows.

the change in her husband was sensitively and realistically con­ veyed, and the interaction between Franklin and E ffie w as well timed.

the consistency o f their N ew Jer­ sey accents. Even during the highly em otional scenes, w here there w as the greatest potential for the ac­ cents to slip, they rem ained co n ­ stant.

This play basically advocates the view that each person should live life according to his or her own wishes. T he pursuit o f m oney and pow er, how ever, are clear paths to eternal dam nation. Even in Hell, if one has w hat is im portant, one can be happy. R eddin seem s to soften the threat o f punishm ent o f H ell by making it a stage for good actions as well. The justification for this is not clear, although this is a prob­ lem with the script, not the produc­ tion. A nother problem with the script is that Franklin ends up in H ell so that he can be reunited with Effie. H ow ever, he redeem s him ­ self ju st prior to his death, m aking him seem more suitable for heaven.

In spite o f a few scriptual incon­ sistencies, the current production o f Life and Limb was a rare m o­ m ent in live theatre. Though no perform ance is perfect, this one cam e aw fully close.

BY AMY WILSON

It was a trying game. The Mar­ tlets have played three weekends in a row and are still in the exhibi­ tion season. The team is exhausted, which explains the rough first half.

But Glynn, who scored 14 points, believes the McGill team has a good chance to make the Québec finals once they get into the regular season. The Martlets played a tough match and won on Thursday, so it looks like an accurate forecast.

photo by Susie Osier

Keva Glynn was having a great day. Thursday night, when the Martlets basketball team took on the Manitoba Bisons in exhibition, the freshman guard was on a roll.

Good thing, too; the Bisons are a tough team. Manitoba was up by six early in the first quarter. The Martlets caught up on a defensive steal by forward Corde Stepan which led to a swish and one. An inbound steal from Jane Ross bagged another two points on a baseline swish from guard Tina Fasone, bringing McGill within one point of Manitoba.

The Bisons were lacking a good ballhandler, and Glynn had her hands all over the ball on defense.

She gained a turnover, and a beau­ tiful cross-key cut by power for­ ward Tracey Hayman led to a solid layup.

Foran encore, the Martlets pulled their swing play, isolating Fasone wide of the key where she rolled right by the Bison defense for two.

McGill led for the first time, 1918.

Into the second quarter, McGill started to scramble. A Manitoba point spree was held off by a per­ fect comer swish from guard Beth Armstrong and tough offensive boards from Glynn and Hayman.

Forward Ross was called for a questionable foul, and Manitoba tied it up on the ensuing foul shots, 24-24. Ross replied with an under­ handed layup off a short pass by Julia Cowans. A gutsy drive by Armstrong led to a 3-point play at the buzzer, but the Bisons were still leading 41-38.

The second half was better.

Guard Debby Morse scored eight successive points, once on a steal breakaway, and another on a midkey pop on a pass by Glynn. A

Manitoba turnover led to a 3pointer by Stepan, tying the game 51-51.

The Martlet defense tightened up, and the passing got hot. McGill took the lead again on a snazzy post pass from Armstrong to Morse, who laid up the ball for a 55-54 tally. Ross tipped in a rebound and was fouled for a total of three, and Glynn hit a midkey ringer. McGill pulled ahead 62-57.

The Martlets effectively shut down the Manitoba backdoor, only to turnover the ball on a steal and a breakaway, bringing the Bisons within two.

Glynn came back with a low post bucket, and the return of Hayman on the court resulted in a quick layup and a swing-play bas­ ket. Hayman was fouled, missed her shot, and the rebound was picked up by Morse for another pair, Glynn racked up two more and Hayman got a steal and two bas­ kets on hard passed balls from Fasone. Morse fouled out on a cheap call, having played a great 19-point game.

With a minute and a half remain­ ing, and McGill leading 79-71, Manitoba tried a full court press.

They were undone by some hot ballhandling from Armstrong and Fasone on the stall. McGill hung on to win 80-75 over the Bisons.

BY MARC BENOIT Life is good for Ken Schildroth, the cheerful coach of the McGill Men’s Varsity basketball team. It all looks great to him: coaching, his team, McGill, and controver­ sies within sports such as steroid use. During the interview, he had only one negative comment: “We have a dump of a gym. I mean, if you look at other university gyms, it is pretty awful in comparison.

But it does the job, and builds the teams’ character. I think it’s time for a change.” He has reason to be optimistic about his role at McGill.

Schildroth has been a coach at McGill sincè 1983. During this time, McGill has twice attended the Nationals and has been a strong contender within its own confer­ ence every year. His record against CIAU opponents (including play­ off games) is 79-64. Schildroth got his coaching experience first as a player-coach at Laurentian Uni­ versity, then as an assistant coach at theUniversity of Victoria, while he was completing his M.A. in Physical Education. In the sum­ mer of 1986, Schildroth was an as­ sistant coach to the Canadian Na­ tional team under head coach Jack Donahue.

“What I love the most about coaching at McGill are the players.

McGill tends to attract great people, overachievers some of them, and it’s not hard to be a good coach when somebody is motivated and

o p tim is tic lo o k a t c o a c h in g

really wants to be there.”

Schildroth takes a personal in­ terest in his players, and hates to see them leave the game when they move beyond university. At the same time, he takes pleasure in re­

counting the successes of his play­ ers. “The hardest thing is when a player finishes their time at McGill.

When you’ve watched a player develop and mature into a great athlete and also watched them grow into themselves, it’s sad to see them go...Last year, I lost an amazing player, Patrick Arsenault. Now he’s completed his degree in engineer­ ing and is off in Indonesia, helping out with projects there... it’s in­ credible to see what he has done with his life.”

The team has just begun regularseason play, after a promising se­ ries of pre-season tournaments.

Schildroth is excited with his new team, which includes seven rook­ ies. “This is the most fun I ’ve had coaching in five years. We have a g good mix of abilities out there, and 'a the team plays with their hearts.

1 We have everything this year -S, David Steiner, an All-Star player, ~ can score a ton of points; Jamie g Simon is great, an excellent shot blocker; Paul Brousseau can play great basketball once he gets t; warmed up. And there’s the rooko ies, who have all played solidly so

a far”

Coach Ken is optimistic about his Redmen squad.

_§ Schildroth is knowledgeable on ^ the subject of drug use, and he runs lectures on drug abuse within

sports. He is supportive of the new CIAU Drug Testing Policy, a costly drug-testing program, and also of McGill’s own testing program for its athletes. “I think that we have to teach people to make good choices, to acquaint them with the legal, ethical, and health issues which are involved with the use of banned substances...Athletes can be eter­ nal optimists, seeing the immedi­ ate benefits of using a drugs like steroids, while hoping they will not be the ones to get hit with cancer...You have to wonder about drug use in sports-you don’t com­ pete in sports just to win, but to feel good about you.”

How is Ken Schildroth different from the other coaches? “I’m me, I suppose that makes me different.

My approach to people is a result of who I am. I relate well to my players. I am their friend, their father, their counselor, just as they are my friends, my helpers... My strength as a coach, I guess, is my technical knowledge, combined with my ability to break it down, to make it teachable. I try to make the process interesting for my players, and I try to teach them to think like coaches. Somewhere in all of that I teach them how to win.”

BY AARON MARGOLIS Travel to California and you’ll be inundated with health stores, fitness buffs, and stories about karma.

Go to a McGill Redmen basket­ ball game and you may not find a heal th store, or many fitness freaks, but karma, well it exists in abun­ dance.

McGill’s “Odd Couple”, David Steiner and Paul Brousseau seem to have a sixth sense about each others location on the court at all times.

David Steiner is the Redmen answer to Felix Unger. Clean cut, extremely motivated, and so ut­ terly happy and intense while play­ ing basketball, you’d almost think he’d found his field of dreams.

From the three point line all the way to the baseline and beyond, Steiner is in his element. Whether swooshing three point baskets or activating his creative energy while spinning to the hoop, David Steiner does it all for McGill, or almost all.

The other half of the Odd Couple is Paul Brousseau, alias Oscar Madison. Always in need of an extra close shave, Brousseau looks like he’s just rolled out of bed and on to the court. Shirt untucked, with a lumbering gait, Paul Brousseau endears himself to the common man. The guy watching the Packers and Bears slug it out on a Sunday afternoon with a twelve pack of Molson Export, and a large bag of Tortillas.

The thing about Brousseau is, his outward appearance belies the amazing tenacity he brings to the game. Called upon to be the whip­ ping boy under the basket, Brousseau, if given the slightest chance at a rebound, rarely misses.

Offensive rebounding is the toughest skill in basketball to be

consistent at. It takes the kind of person willing to chow down on sweaty, flying elbows. Paul Brousseau accepts the task and his performance is critical to McGill’s hopes.

What then creates such a magi­ cal synergy between Steiner and Brousseau?

Just like Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, the two appear as night and day yet click so well when together.

This past weekend, as the Redmen won two games, both players, as always, played pivotal roles. Steiner led the Redmen in scoring both nights while Brousseau was at the top of the rebounding charts.

But you have to look past the statistics sheet to really gather an appreciation for the two. Their value on the court.

Steiner is undisputably the leader of the team. To examine his work ethic is to kick yourself out of shame for not studying hard enough for that midterm. Watching him play man to man defence conjures up images of Norman Bates off to do his dirty work. His eyes are full throttle with intensity.

Yet with the ball, working be­ side Brousseau, running the fast break, one gains the sense some­ thing special is about to happen.

Not many players in any sport have this ability.

Paul Brousseau is not the type of player that stands out in a fan’s mind. His rewards come in the trenches. Boxing out his man, fight­ ing extra hard for position under the boards to come up with an easy layup, or being on the receiving end of a David Steiner original.

The two work so well together.

Whenever a pretty play results in two points for the Redmen cour­ tesy of the Odd Couple, Steiner and Brousseau will cast a small glance at each other, a quick puls­ ing smile, each knowing what the opposition understands, they’re tough to beat.

As the McGill Redmen basket­ ball team begins its long and ardu­ ous trek down the yellow brick road that is Canadian college bas­ ketball, coach Ken Shildroth, McGill fans, and Redmen players can rest assuredly, secure in the knowledge they possess a vial of karma. Their names, Steiner and Brousseau. Their mandepiece, the Odd Couple.

BY AARON MARGOLIS With exam time fast approach­ ing many students begin to shun fitness, stay up late studying, drink the odd gallon of coffee, and try to forget the holiday season is almost upon us.

Most have very little time to give right now, and what free time is available is often spent resting up for that next crack at the school books.

This Friday at 4pm, the Depart­

ment of Athletics is holding its first annual Fashion Show and Total Workout Extravaganza, at the Currie Gymnasium. All pro­ ceeds from the event will go to the Montréal Children’s Hospital Christmas Fund which provides toys, food, and a little Christmas cheer for those children unfortu­ nate enough to have to spend the holiday season in bed.

The show promises to be enter­ taining. If only because the people modelling outfits at the show will

be athletes from a wide variety of McGill’s varsity teams. After the 30 minute show there will be a mammoth Total Workout, encom­ passing all four gyms.

So, on Friday afternoon, if you have two hours to give late in the day, consider attending. For a few bucks not only will you get the rare opportunity to see McGill athletes model some fine clothes, as well, you’ll get a good workout and be part of making a sick child’s holi­ day season a little happier.

A bunch of tough guys: The men's rugby team won the very first championship of the newly formed Quebec Rugby League.

R u g b y F o o tb a lle rs c o m p le te T o u r o f B itte rn e s s '

BY CHARLES HEENAN The McGill Mens Rugby club recently finished a roadtrip to

Boston to play teams from Boston University and Harvard. This trip, now known as the “Tour of Bitter­ ness”, was not one which saw ex­ ceptional play on the rugby field.

The match versus BU was one best forgotten, as the McGill side seemed to have left their desire to win back on the bus in the Ho Jo parking lot.

The only highlight in a game marked by flares of temper, was a try scored by Matt Tennant, who used long kicks and his aerody­ namic hair to place the try.

The ‘B ’ side, however, displayed their colours well, with a strong showing, despite having 13 for­ wards and only 2 backs. They had to resort to using second-row player Graham Lewis and prop-forward Charlie Kime as wings. It is rare for a team with this sort of lineup to win, but they came through.

On the next day at Harvard, McGill came out with a strong tackling effort, which had been lacking the previous day. They managed to secure a lead on two nice kicks by Matt ‘pretty boy’ Tennant.

McGill gritted and struggled with the ‘stiff’ Harvard side until well into the second half when the Harvard team managed to score, going up 11-6. McGill fought back hard, but could not manage to score. Harvard added one last try to secure the game, but the McGill side kept up theirchins, knowing they had fought their best The ‘B’ side took the field, but were obviously suffering from a lack of backs and REM sleep, and lost to a strong Harvard team.

This brings an end to the rugby season at McGill, and it has been one which the whole of the team

& ,é e € V Ù à 4 è ' E U R O P E

.

can be proud. The team won the inaugural season of the new Québec University League, after taking down a rough B ishop ’s squad. After a disappointing cancellation from Princeton, the Boston trip was a success, if not for the actual play, then for the team spirit and sing­ ing.

The ‘B’ side also had a very successful year, losing only their last game. This was a very young team, one that is regaining the spirit that the rugby team had not so long ago.

Special mention should be made of a few players; Guiseppe ‘Joe’ Liberatore, prop and President of the club, whose temper earned him reknown throughout the league; Scott Calver, hooker, Captain, and Bitterness Personified; Hart ‘Quaplan’ Caplan, a prop with an affin­ ity to rats, spam, spam, spam, and stepping on people; Rich ‘Stiffner’ Hepner, a steady and truly reliable player. Matt Tennant should espe­ cially be mentioned for his hard work and notably exceptional play on the field.

Most important is Sid Sandford, the coach, who dedicated a load of time to the cause, helped us, reffed us, played with us, partied with us, and made us run more goddamned laps around Forbes Field than anyone cares to remember.

Captain David Steiner officially opened the 1989-90 version of the Redmen basketball squad. He did it in style, too, nailing three point­ ers, running the break, boxing for rebounds, in short, everything that you’d expect and more from the all-star 6’2" swing guard from Little Burgundy.

In Saturday’s regular season opener against the Golden Gaels, Steiner popped in 36 points, while the Redmen had an easy time of it, cruising to a 105-88 win. The Redmen then ran their record to 20 on Sunday against Ottawa, 10387.

Steiner again was the man to watch, scoring 31 points. Forward Paul Brousseau, who missed most of last season due to a broken foot, is glad to be back, as he laid in 28 points, and pulled down 11 re­

BY IAN SIROTA So much has been written about him in the past few weeks since Victor Davis was so tragically taken from us. Everybody has had some­ thing to say about this needless death. Consolations have come pouring in from across the world, and politicians from Vancouver to St. John’s have expressed their shock and dismay, calling Davis “A great Canadian”. One Ameri­ can swimming official was just as shocked and upset as his Canadian counterparts, and as he pointed out, the world swimming community is a rather small one. When some­ one in it dies, everyone feels the loss. The only people who have remained unmoved so far have been the MUC Police, as their reaction seems to waver between incompe­ tence and indifference. We may never know the full truth about Davis’ demise, which just seems to add even more to the sense of tragedy surrounding his death.

The sense of emptiness that one is left with is further heightened by the fact that Victor Davis was so alive, so vibrant. The competitive fires that burned inside him made

Occasionally, Davis’ intense competitiveness would show a darker side, such as the oft-dis­ cussed incident in which he kicked over a chair in front of the Queen.

Not one to be rattled over such a

His cockiness and brashness stood out against the typical image of the Canadian athlete as being laid back and trying their best. For Davis, there was no second best, and when he went out and proved he was in

situation, Davis, the next time the two met, enthusiastically presented the Queen with one of the Cana­ dian Team’s trademark frisbees, and had a lively conversation with her.

Above all, though, he was a proud Canadian. So proud in fact, that he had the Maple Leaf tat­ tooed over his heart. How many of us can say that?

As he grew older and matured, Davis’ selflessness began to show through. After failing to qualify for the Seoul Olympics in his spe­ cialty, the 100 metre breaststroke, he willingly took part in the team relay, thereby helping Canada earn a silver medal. This selflessness transcended the swimming pool, leading Davis to express his desire that his organs be put up for dona­ tion. No one knows where Davis’ heart went, but somewhere in Canada, someone’s life has been saved, and in their chest beats the heart of a champion.

Victor Davis was hit by a car and killed on Saturday, November 11, 1989. For the Davis family and for the whole country, there will now be one more death to remember on Remembrance Day.
