Lady Meredith fire could have been part of pattern

BY EVAN KERT McGill security is investigating an apparent pattern of burglary and vandalism against the Victorian mansions McGill owns on Pine Ave. The investigation follows last week’s fire at Lady Meredith House.

That mansion is located on the southwest comer of Peel St. and Pine Ave. In addition to the destruction of $200,000 worth of equipment belonging to the Pulmonary Lab, most of the Centre of Medicine, Ethics and Law’s world-renowned research

collection was lost in the fire. A $ 10,000 computer was later found to have disappeared from the Pulmonary Lab. Similar circumstances surrounded the November 25 break-in at the School of Occupational Health, just west of Lady Meredith House on Pine Ave. On the weekend of November 25, machinery was vandalized, and about $25,000 in equipment was stolen from the building. Again, thieves entered the building through a broken window.

University Relations Director Jean-Pierre Morin explains that

both buildings’ isolation - there are no McGill buildings across the street from them - may present an additional problem to security.

“We are trying to see a pattern between the incidents,’’saidMorin.

“It has not yet been established.

We will know next week.”

Professors who have worked in the two buildings sympathize with security for the particular problems that these buildings present.

“There is a limit to what one can do with these 19th century houses without destroying them. You don’t continued on page 7

Just who went skiing, and when?

"Over the holidays, while student leaders were on the ski slopes, the provincial government lifted the tuition freeze."

- McGill Daily, pg.l, Jan. 5 1990 The weather on December 21 was good, as SSMU Comptroller Jon Shifman tells it: light snow, warm air, only a bit of wind.

Perfect weather for a tuition fee increase.

And, the Daily thought, a perfect day for SSMU leaders to go skiing.

But the Daily was wrong!

A Tribune investigation has found thatof the SSMU’s five executives, two thought of skiing on December 21st, two don't ski, and one was taking a Human Condition final exam (“Of course I did well, everyone does wçll,” Vice President (Internal) Ray Satterthwaite explained.)

SSMy President Santo Manna recalls having two meetings at McGill while Ryan plotted away in Québec City.

T was at work all day,” Manna, an engineering student, explained.

T don’t ski, or do any really socially respectable sports. Though I intend to leant golf this spring.”

Manna adds that he’s currently looking for a polo horse.

Vice President (University Affairs) Kate Morisset was stacking books in the Blacker Wood Library. The excitement of the day came (no pun intended) when a flasher approached Morisset looking for a copy of Harold and the Purple Crayon. Morisset loves skiing, but explained that she has a trick knee which doctors won ’tpermit anywhere near the slopes.

Vice President (Finance) Jean-Charles Viens was finishing a tender for SSMU’s food and beverage services when Ryan dipped his hand in our pockets. Viens says he thought of going skiing, but remembered he doesn’t know how.

Vice President (External) John Fox dealt with the Ryan threat directly on December 21. Burning phone lines across the province, Fox located other student leaders who weren’t skiing.

The Daily was simply wrong.

7 was skiing on December 21.

And I told lh&Daily editor sitting next to me on the chairlift that I was a sturdy eater - NOT a student leader.

The Disneyland Tapes WITH PAUL HORWITZ The last time this space appeared was in the Eighties; and in the long interval since then. I’ve been itching with the need to get to my trusty Macintosh and catalogue the recent parade of horrors. Late December was aparanoiac’s wet drearn. George Bush invaded Panama, and Claude Ryan invaded our pocketbooks, right when we were neutralized by the more immediate threats of exams; even to those of us who insist that Oswald acted alone, this does seem to...well, reel: of conspiracy!

The Panama invasion was more than just ahorrible actof gunboat diplomacy and an opportunity for liberal selfrighteousness; it was also zany and hilarious. It typified American rules for actions in Central America: if an American soldier is killed while running a roadblock, send in 12,000 troops - but if El Salvador and the Contras declare open season on members of the clergy...well, okay, but try not to get it in the papers.

Media coverage of the Panamanian massacre was sublimely doltish. On the night of the invasion, the American networks’ anchormen were insanely patriotic. “How are we doing?” they asked - even Peter Jennings (a Canadian, no less)! At no point were they heard to ask, “How much money did we give Noriega when he worked for the CIA?” Well, now Noriega is wintering in a Miami, and his trial is bound to be something akin to a French absurdist comedy. President Bush, who was publicly calling Noriega a low, drugpage 4

running criminal scumbag rightup until the extradition, suddenly recalled the whole innocent-until-proven-guilty thing, and finally shut up. The legal necessity of finding a jury that knows nothing about Noriega will ensure a jury so fantastically ignorant that they may have to find them in the US Senate.

Meanwhile, the swiftness of American justice shows that anyone interested in an incredibly lucrative job running drugs throughPanamahad better...send theirresumés to Columbia, care of the Medellin cartel. So much for the drug war.

Here in Quebec, Education minister Claude Ryan, who may or may not be a paid CIA informant, introduced his tuition fee increase plans on December 21, exactly when students were least organized, due to exams and vacations.

Now, I’m not saying the fee hike is good or bad (hint: it’s not good), but the timing of his announcement is more than a little coincidental. Wouldn’t it be equally coincidental if students chose this moment to start tying up his office’s phone and fax lines? Ryan is a public servant, a thoughtful man, a person faced with difficult decisions; in short, an asshole.

We were taken off guard; we took exams, and the world suffered for it.

Next time, think of your children, and your children's children, and take a ‘J’. Being an academic washout is a small price to pay for justice; and it’s a better excuse than sleeping through your alarm clock.

Next: an in depth look at Sniffy the rat.

The M cG ill Tribune

C o m m e n t:

A ll our tuitions It is not hard to guess what issue will dominate the student agenda this semester. Just before Christmas, with Scrooge-like timing, Québec’s Minister for Higher Education, Claude Ryan, announced the end of Québec’s 20 year old tuition freeze.

In so doing, Mr. Ryan, a grinch whose heart has yet to grow, has begun to put an end to two decades of improvements in accessibility to postsecondary education in Québec.

At the same time, he has only partially rectified a funding problem that has been created by ten years of government cut-backs.

The purpose of this comment is to outline the impact of the hike on students, and take a look at what we can expect from the student movement both here at McGill and in Québec.

The easiest way to show the impact of the hike on students is show some hard numbers. In the table, I have assumed a 30 credit arts program. The tuition hike proposed by Minister Ryan calls for a $350 increase in each of the next two years. In addition the university will be allowed to tack on an additional 10% in tuition charges.

McGill will quite likely exercise this option, (see table on page 7).

For McGill students the hike represents ajump in tuition of 145% in tuition or 89% in total fees. Any way you care to slice it, that’s a pretty hefty jump, and some students are going to have trouble coping with the increased cost of education. Judge for yourself.

According to the ministry, the amount of students that will be forced to drop out due to the hike will be “null and marginal.” However most studies disagree. Lemelin, Millot, and Perrot, in research conducted for Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) last May estimate that a doubling intuition will lead to a 12.5% drop in university enrollment. Perhajps Mr. Ryan is referring to the nullification of the marginal student.

Last spring’s reform of the loans and bursaries system will not be able to compensate for the increase in tuition.

While the total dollars available through Québec’s loans & bursaries system will increase, so will the amount of debt students must carry. The prospect of long term debt is a strong deterrent to post-secondary education, particularly for lower-income families.

Given the extent of the impact of the

hike on students, we could hardly expect the Québec student movement to sit still. Here’s what I think we can look for over the next months. First of all, students want to play an active role in finding solutions to the funding crisis. We do, after all, have a lot at stake, whether it is in tuition now or taxes later. Look for student groups to produce some alternatives to fee hikes.

Clearly the Québec student movement will have to unite over the tuition issue. Not just ANEEQ and the Québec Federation of Students (of which we are provisional members) butunaffiliated student associations as well. There will be amammoth meeting February 3 at the Palais des congrès (tentative). Discussions between QFS and ANEEQ are already well underway.

If student proposals are flatly refuted, we can expect more overt action from the student movement.

Watch for an escalation from demonstrations to day-strikes and potentially to an unlimited general strike.

Here at McGill, the Students’ Society will be hosting a Teach-in on February 7 in order to bring students up to date on the tuition issue and its corollaries. We will of course be playing a leadership role in the development of the overall strategy of the Québec student movement.

Students should keep a close eye on developments.If decisions shouldhave to be made on whether or not McGill students will strike then it is McGill students who will decide.

If you are interested in participating in the Students’ Society’s activities in this matter (or if you think we’ve got it all wrong! ) then please attend the next External Affairs Committee meeting which is scheduled for January 18 at 5 p.m. in the Students’ Society lounge.

(Outside Gert’s, across from the Coke machine). If the Teach-In is more up your alley, then drop by January 16 at 4 p.m. (same place).

The ability of McGill students to be well represented depends to a large extent on the number of students wfiling to play active roles within the society.

Our ability to react and stand up for student rights and concerns where tuition is concerned is no exception.

So make a point of attending one of these meetings. Let’s keep education accessible.

The Principal and the Nineties: A time for global thinking

BY ROBERT STEINER AND PAUL HORWITZ For McGill Principal David Johnston, the 1990s will be a time of global thinking.

“The great lesson of the 1980s is that we cannot be compartamentalized,” he told the Tribune in a New Year’s interview last week.

Johnston explained that during the next decade global thinking will destroy the language walls which once isolated McGill and could end the 1980s underfunding crisis.

B ut he added that students will have to participate in both moves - even if it means paying higher tuition.

“The Minister of Higher Education is committed to increasing the funding of Québec universities to the Ontario and, ultimately the national level. Part of that plan involves increasing tui­ tion fees,” he explained.

“I support those initia­ tives. It is appropriate for both students and govern­ ment to work together to­ wards this objective. But my caveat is that loans and bursaries continue to be provided for.”

Johnston said the Provincial government is also working to end the relative underfunding of Québec’s three English universi­ ties. McGill, which until now has received $8 million less than most other universities in the province,

will itself get about $7.5 Million from Québec City.

Johnston is also enthusiastic abouta provincial promise to cover the administrative costs of univer­

McGill is a more successful fun­ draiser than any other Canadian university. Now Johnston says it is time to turn on the charms with othci schools and city hall.

We want to emphasize Montreal as a ville univer­ sitaire and a ville interna­ tionale, that is consistent I think with Mayor Doré’s vi­ sion,” he explained, adding that Montreal should com­ bine its university and cor­ porate sectors to create an academically successful city like Boston.

“McGill has a key role to play in all of this. We are in­ volved in the CTECH group which has assembled 30 representatives of universities, corporations and government to bring high tech to Montreal. Al­ ready therearetwohigh tech industrial sites planned for the city - one in the port by Teleglobe, and one in Ville St. Laurent. I expect that we will see more of these in the 1990s. I hope to see edu­ cated people stay and work in Montréal.”

Johnston stressed that the unique mix of French and English in the McGill community has already made the university a “pace-setter” for Canada in the 1990s.

“We no longer have a problem with bilinguialism,” he explained.

“Our problem is now with notenough trilingualism. Probably 90 percent of our students are func­

“I hope that [Education Minister Claude Ryan] will go as far as matching private donations, like they do in Alberta,” he explained.

But the end of underfunding would only be the start of a new relation­ ship between McGill and its neigh­ bours.

mental crises can only be solved through inter-disciplinary work.

“We have identified at least 100 people at McGill doing work in fields relevant to sustainable de­ velopment,” he explained.

“Inter-displinary work is the way of the future, and the envionmental crisis is a perfect example of the kind of field in which that kind of

McGill’s has a “leadership role” in Canada’s growth as a “great multicultural trading nation”, Johnston said.

TheUniversity’sresearch might also be affected by global thinking during the 1990s. Johnston, who also chairs the National Roundtable on the Environment, expects that academics will come to realize that complex problems like environ-

That is an attitude which could affect the tone of teaching at McGill too.

General Motors also announced two monetary gifts: $500,000 for Dr. Ian Hunter’s research in microbiotics - designing machines to work like muscles - and $200,000 to launch a state-of-the-art com­ puter design and analysis package.

The package, called McCad, will allow architecture students to speed-up their design planning.

Mechanical engineers can get stress-analysis experience before they leave McGill and undergradu­ ates will be able to use the McCad six workstations in the Engineer­ ing and Architecture departments.

1989

Austin as editor-in-chief of the yearbook.

Austin was fired because she first failed to meet deadlines and later moved to Toronto with the work that had been completed, but without leaving a forwarding ad­ dress or telephone number.

Although the final deadline for all the pages of the yearbook to be submitted to Jostens (the year­ book’s publishing company) was June 26, 1989, Austin had only submitted 104 of theestimated 368 pages by the end of August.

Eng will be paid hourly to a maximum of one thousand dollars.

His salary will come from the 1989 yearbook budget funds originally allocated for the Editor-in-Chief s $1500 honorarium. Austin did not Teceive the honorarium due to incompletion of her designated job.

But a change in priniting sched­ ules could affect the yearbook’s production costs.

“We found that her phoi had been disconnected. We heard through the grapevine that she was in Toronto and eventually got a hold of her,” she explained.

... more on the tuition fee hike continued from page 3 SSMU had been supporting tui­ tion fee increases on the condi­ tions of removing relative underfunding, revising the funding for­ mula and maintaining current ac­ cessibility. Because SSMU feels that these conditions are not being met, it is meeting with FEEQ (Federation des étudiants et étudi­ antes du Québec) and ANEEQ representatives. Although SSMU has previously disagreed with the anti-fee increase stance of FEEQ and ANEEQ, Fox says “we find ourselves arriving at a similar conclusion. We are united in our opposition to this particular fee hike.”

Fox says that SSMU will be at­ tending the February 3 Réunion Extraordinaire du Movement Etu­ diant at the Palais des Congres where the student associations of all universities and CEGEPs in

Québec will be represented. The main topic of discussion will be the coordination of student oppo­ sition to the fee hike.

SSMU hopes for an initially positive response: “We would not be in favour of striking right away”.

Fox also suggests that a referen­ dum at McGill might be a possibil­ ity.

Opposition to the fee hike has also been voiced by the new oncampus group CAPE (Coalition Against the Privatization of Edu­ cation). At CAPE’s first meeting on January 10, it was stated that “given that Students’ Society sup­ ports increases in tuition fees, it is necessary to have a group against tuition fee hikes.”

Coordinating Editor of the McGill Daily and spokesperson for CAPE Susana Béjar said that “McGill has probably been a huge obstacle for ANEEQ” and that

CAPE will serve as a representa­ tive of McGill to ANEEQ. At the last CAPE meeting, Béjar noted that an SSMU referendum might take months and that an independ­ ent group was needed to take more immediate action.

Judy Stymest, Director of the Student Aid Office, is also con­ cerned about the fee increases.

“The Ministry predicts a rise of 20% in the number of students who receive aid,” she explains.

“People already on aid will just get more. But there will be an impact on students from out of province and on students who don’t fit into the typical student aid pack­ age, and there are a lot of them.”

Stymest points out that the full impact won’t be felt until the fee deadlines in August, but is hopeful that government proposals to re­ vamp the student aid program will ease the pressure on students.

There’s a woman dancing on a red and green flashing stage, perhaps a carry-over from Christmas?

Slowly, your mind confirms the information your eyes have been passing it: she is naked except for the zebra skin rug that is a part of her act.

Because it was just about sup­ pertime, the place was mostly empty. There were about twentyfive customers, some of whom were watching the show while the majority just sat and talked. Every­ one who was working on the floor page 8

Aside from dancing on fla t o n m y b a c k the stage, the dancers “mostly socialize with the customers, a n d s p re a d m y there’s somewhere for us to sit, if we want to sit, or we go to the le g s ” bathroom to freshen up, and some­ times someone will call you over to their table.”

It is not news that ‘the girls’ danc ing in the club had sensational dress provocatively. Each is re­ bodies.

Feminism: Is it the new

BY STEPH A N IE SM ALL

Feminism has a real image prob­ lem. Six months ago the cover of ‘Canada’s national newsmagazine,’ Macleans, en­ quired “Feminism: Ottawa’s new F-word?” To many people, the word “feminist” conjures up im­ ages of an abrasive, strident, manhating woman. It’s not that these people are against gender equality.

On the contrary, most of them say, “I’m not a feminist, but of course I believe in equal rights and all that...”

A group of McGill students elaborated on why they shy away from the term “feminism”.

“I think of male-bashing,” said one student.

“They’re too radical - it under­ mines their cause.”

When asked how she thought the steps towards greater equality had been achieved in the past, one student conceded, “Women had to be radical at first, to get what they wanted, but they’ve made their point now.”

Unfortunately, their point - if there is such an entity- has not become reality. Women are still not on an equal footing with men.

On average, a woman who works

full time will only make 65% of what a man makes. The “feminiza­ tion of poverty” is still very much a reality due to the high number of single parent families headed by women. And studies show that even when working full time, married women still do about 75% of housework.

Perhaps more alarm­ ing is persistance of degradingattitudes and violence towards women. Recently, highly publicized events have brought these issues to the fore­ front in a dramatic and frightening way.

Last fall, students at Queen’s University promoted a campaign against date rape with the slogan “No means no”. In one of the campus residences, some men responded by posting banners reading “no means kick her in the teeth” and “no means on your knees bitch.” Although the men were made to apologize, the controversy continued on campus. A group of feminists held a sit-in at admini­ stration offices, demanding that harsher sanctions be imposed.

Many students at Queen’s would rather have seen the issue, which received national media coverage, die down because they felt it was giving their school a bad name.

One woman said, “They [the femi­

nists] just took the whole thing too far.”

Others have raised the same point when discussing the tragic killings at the Unversité de Montréal last month. They object to they way that Marc Lepine’s actions have been characterized as symptomatic of a general attitude towards women in society.

According to one student, “He

has a definition of pomogaphy in real terms. “I don’t get up on that stage, lie flat on my back and spread my legs,” she explained.

“Anything that involves children, is disgusting.

Pornography is anything with violence, or ani­ mals.

You shouldn’t involve the innocent.”

Sandra points to the different sorts o f porn magazines avail­ able. Hustler is, “just degrading.

They have a comic strip, you know, called C hester the Molester. The guy who draws it was arrested for molesting a girl from the time she was thirteen. He really was a molester!” Play­ boy, by compari­ son is quite “gentCWhen asked

how she felt about the men who come into the club, the dancer said “Outside, they may have wives

and children, but inside [the club] they are totally transformed.” All of the dancers have a right not to dance for a table. For example,

to drink, well, then I might say ‘nc thanks.’”

One student, when asked why h< would go to a strip club, describee his rationale as : “male-bonding rite of passage thing.’

Another explainer that he would “noi go in on my own initiative, but yeah if there was a whole group going, I wouldn’t say no.”

Stripping hasn’t changed her feel­ ings aboutmen. All she would say in answer to that “loaded question” was that, “I had a firm opinion about men before I started and, all in all, this hasn’t changed it much at all.” At the same time, she would say that “in a lot of ways,” she consid­ ers herself a femi­ nist.

Sandra is just one of one hundred dancers at one of more than sixty strip joints in Montréal the more than sixty Sandra said, “If we had a group of night clubs in the greater Montréal six rowdy university guys from area.

Boston, who had had way to much

?

[Lepine] was just one psycho. It was one of those freak things that you can’t stop from happening.”

Both these incidents show how feminist reactions are often per­ ceived as negative or radical.

Understandably, many people are offended when they feel that feminists are claiming that a violent and degrading attitude towards women is indicative of all men.

But being a feminist has never been synonymous with being ‘anti-men.’

Some of those who re­ acted strongly to the inci­ dent at Queen’s, and the killings here in Montréal, feel that it is critical that everyone come to recog­ nize that violence towards women is endemic in soci­ ety. According to one McGill stu­ dent, who does call herself a femi­ nist, “Those acts were reflections of the fact that we live in a sick society. You have to start ques­ tioning how they could have ocL e b a n e s e S p ecia C ity R e s ta u r a n t

cured.”

Feminists demand that we ask fundamental questions about soci­ ety. For example, on a more prac­ tical, economic level, why shouldn’t maternity and paternity leave be provided equally so that neither women nor men are disad­ vantaged in the job market?

For those who despair the com­ placency of many men and women towards feminist issues, some hope can be found by looking back on the enormous number of changes that have occured in the past few decades. According to Barbara Nichols, chair of the Senate Com­ mittee on Women, “It’s really a question of progression of ideas.

The thing that’s very, very radical today is accepted tomorrow, and that’s the way it works.”

Perhaps it is not the terms you use that really matters. Whether you call yourself a feminist or not, the important thing is to be com­ mitted to overcoming degrading attitudes towards women in soci­ ety and to achieving real gender equality.

SÎÜ!of

BY JESSICA MCBRIDE The documentary Not A Love Story is about pornography. Im­ ages of naked women in sexually provocative poses, taken from pornographic magazines are splat­ tered across the screen. A voice­ over proposes that pornography’s real purpose is “to silence the heart, show it imprisoned.”

Produced by the National Film Board’s Studio D,NotaLove Story takes the viewer on a tour of the pornography industry in North America. The tour is lead by direc­ tor Bonnie Klein, with the help of Linda Lee, a stripper.

The film is shocking and upset­ ting. Hard-core clips abound, in this behind-the-doors look at the clubs we all pass. Images persist: a Hustler cover depicting the in­ verted body of a woman being fed into a meat grinder; a woman suck­ ling a gun.

There is an argument as to whether photography reflects or causes abusive behaviour. The film has been accused of being one-

Director Ron Pornography de­ Martin claims it is grades women.

Psychologist Ed Donnerstein talks about desensitization as hav­ ing two consequences. The more you watch, the more you become inured to it, and dismiss it as incon­ sequential. Accordingly, crimes of a sexual nature such as rape are in­

creasingly viewed in terms which trivialize the nature of the offence.

Pornography’s danger lies in its popularity. According to Stein’s 1977 statistics, Penthouse and Playboy have a circulation greater than that of Time and Newsweek combined. Six out of ten maga­ zines sold on the newstands today are “girlie” magazines.

In the year of the film’s release, the pornography industry grossed five billion dollars annually, more than the conventional film and recording industry combined.

There was also four times as many peep-shows and adult-bookstores in North America as there were McDonalds outlets. We all know it’s still out there, but are we aware of the sheer volume of it?

Author Robin Morgan states that women must feel rage and must capitalize on this rage and use it to their advantage. Activists opposed to pornography “must capitalize on ... shame, not guilt, of this ter­ rible thing.” In this way Not A Love Story gives a glimmer of hope to those concerned about pornogra­ phy. Seeing this film is a good step towards coming to terms with the problem of pornography.

The McGill Film Society is pre­ senting Not A Love Story on Wednesday, January 17at7:30pm.

There will be a discussion to fol­ low.

BY JANE PESBARATS Over recent decades, pornogra­ phy has become more pervasive in society. Many feel that the right to watch pornographic films should not be limited in a democratic society. They claim that pornogra­ phy should not be censored due to

the right of freedom of expression, guaranteed by the Canadian Char­ ter of Rights and Freedoms.

However, there are others who feel that pornography is a media form which undercuts the moral structure of society, and promotes violence against women. continued on page 11

M odel United Nations at M cG ill

BY PA U LIN O CON SEU LO

The United Nations is coming to McGill.

McGill’s first annual Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) is being held from 9h00 until 17h00 on January 20 in Lea­ cock 232. The Assembly is a stu­ dent-run and organized simulation of the UN General Assembly in New York. Students will represent UN member-states and represent their foreign policy views in de­ bate and discussion about world issues.

Resolutions that will be dis­ cussed include the Middle East peace process, the US invasion of Panama, the Chinese student mas­

.m o r e

sacre, and reform in Eastern Eu­ rope.

The McGill International Rela­ tions Society, a campus group which is organizing the event, hopes that both members of the students, MUNA will give us a good idea about what we’ll have to do for our tournament in 1991,” said Choudhry.

“It’s a terrific opportunity for students who would like to learn more about international relations without having to take a course in the subject. Also, it will be great practice for those who want to go to the other Model UN’s this se­ mester.”

McGill regularly attends simu­ lations at Princeton, Harvard,

For most feminists, the main issue is the extent to which females are downplayed or degraded. Al­ though people are unable to agree on the effects of violence in por­ nography, they draw a distinction between pornography and erotica.

A prominant feminist,Germaine Greer, describes the distinction in her essay, Erotica vs. Pornogra­ phy, as, “Pornography is about dominance. Erotica is about mutu­ ality.”

Amanda Merk of the Women’s Union makes the distinction, “if people enjoy watching other people get off on each other, that’s fine. It only becomes degrading to the woman when it is apparent that she is not enjoying what’s going on.”

It is the more violent forms of pornography which concern most of the people opposed to pornogra­ phy. Our society has decreed that such forms as child pornography, bestiality or snuff films are taboo,

v s . e r o tic a

and consequently should be made illegal.

But even though many people do not accept pornography, not everyone is willing to go as far as to advocate wide ranging censor­ ship as a solution.

Whatever the arguments for or against pornography, it is un­ avoidably an emotion-laden issue.

Pornography is about violence and domination, or the threat of it. It is unfortunate that there is sexual violence in today’s society that clouds the issue, and complicates any meaningful disscusion. Op­ posing pornography is not a stand against depicting physical love, rather a stand against violence.

Erotica represents apositive step in the direction of removing the threat of violence with respect to sex. As Greer pointed out, “wher­ ever men and women come to­ gether intimately, they are most in danger of recognizing each others humanity.

Toronto, Smith College, Geor­ getown, New York and Pennsyl­ vania. McGill has won almost all of these tournaments over the past three years and is widely regarded as one of the top schools on the circuit.

“We’ve got a real legacy to uphold...this tournament is a step in the right direction to ensure that McGill continues to do well on the model UN circuit,” said Interna­ tional Relations Society President Paul Michell.

Still, organizers are quick to emphasize that the McGill simula­ tion is neither competitive nor par­ ticularly intensive, but is intended to help students learn the process.

“It will be great preparation for us. When we go to tournaments in the US, we always do very well.

It’s a great feeling to see the look of respect on people’s faces when they discover that we’re from McGill.

Invariably, we’re asked why we don’t have our own Model UN. We began to ask ourselves the same question,” said Michell.

Interested students are encour­ aged to contact Sujit Choudhry at 848-9721 or Paul Michell at 2845373.

The Birthday Partiers: here's to a bigger theatre

Birthday Party:A party for the perverse

BY KIM FARLEY Harold Pinter is difficult. His play The Birthday Party is absurdist the­ atre at its most intense, calling for the actors and actresses to toss dia­ logue back and forth one minute, and the next to speak volumes with facial contortion alone.

Tuesday Night Café’s cast man­ aged to bring Pinter’s neurotic, self embarassing characters alive. To do so was a feat, given the fact that their location was as much a challenge as their material. With Moyse Hall still caught in suspended animation, those unfortunate theatre groups who lose the scheduling battle for Morrice Hall have to be ingenious if they want to be produced.

Director Pierre LaRoque nas trans­ formed a small classroom in the Arts building into the venue for the Pinter play, turning room 20 of the into the kitchen of a sedate English boarding house. The room is the territory of Meg (Anna Durblick), the corn-flake obsessed wife of Petey (Colin Krivy), who, in a familiar absurdist twist, spends her days preparing for guests who never come.

For a year, the only guest has been the mentally restless, physically stagnating Stanley (Ken Cameron), who stomped in about a year ago and has since become a fixture of tedium, implantinghimself daily at the kitchen table the better to hassle Meg. During their early exchanges

Cameron and Durblick establish an odd sort of chemistry, like a stale potato chip dipped in mayonnaise.

They don’t exactly taste good to­ gether, but they modify each other and when they’re all chewed up they break down into the same thing.

Cameron quickly shows Stanley for the insecure hanger-on that he is as he shoots hostility at the vacant butkind Meg. Durblickhandles Meg skillfully, making her suitably irri­ tating without beingoverly tiresome.

Meg’s world has been reduced to her scant domestic duties. Whether or not Stanley’s demons are eating his psyche alive, he’ll be fineas long as he has a nice breakfast.

Through the revolving door of tedium breeze two strangers, the

lugubrious Goldberg (Dan Abramski) and his stonefaced sidekick McCann (Conrad Rader), who arrive with a symbolic wheelbarrow in their car. Their arrival gives Meg a purpose in life, to make up their room, but it terrifies Stanley. As Cameron dilutes Stanley’s pseudo­ confidence into whimpers, his face becomes his method of communica­ tion. Through much of the second act, he is called upon to be catatonic, terrorized, then catatonic again as Goldberg and McCann peck away at his mental stability.

Goldberg suggests a birthday party for Stanley, who isn’t celebrating a birthday, and during the celebration the farcical tone of the play turns eerie. As Goldberg mercilessly strips Stanley of whatever self-respect he had- stealing his girlfriend, smash­ ing his glasses- the audience is alien­ ated by the play although it is as late for us as it is for Stanley.

The depressing ending is no more and no less than the logical conclu­ sion of purposeless existence.

Although the accents of TNC’s players sometimes slip, their inten­ sity does not. The Birthday Party is a long, drawn out process in which suffering is examined a little too close for comfort. The performance isn’t enjoyable, but it is a tight, sus­ tained handling worthy of Pinter’s bleak vision.

The Birthday Party runs the 18, 19, and 20th in the Arts Building, Room West20, just turn leftat Moyse Hall. Admission $6/4$ students.

Redmen polish off a pair at Currie

BY CRAIG BERNES There was thunder in the McGill gymnasium a week ago. It was the thunder of Michael Soussan’s quick dribble along with his light­ ning-like passes.

The basketball Redmen played at home on January 5 and 7, host­ ing Ryerson and Toronto. In the absence of superguard David Steiner(out with the flu), the whole team was ready to play tough.

First up was Ryerson, a team that was not supposed to win. And they didn’t. From the opening jump ball, McGill dominated, opening ùp a 24-9 advantage just eight minutes into the game. The Rams were hopelessly outmatched, as the saying goes, and settled in for a long afternoon.

The Redmen stuck admirably to their game plan, leading 55-32 by halftime. The second half was showtime for McGill’s backup players, and they performed well enough to coast to an easy victory, 89-68.

But none of this would have been possible if not for Soussan, who was on this day the ballhan­ dling wizard that he’s shown glimpses of this season. Soussan hit all five of his shots in the first

period on his way to a game-high 20 points.

And when he got the ball on the run, all his opponent could do was stand back and hear the thunder.

Of course, Soussan wasn’t the only hero. Paul Brousseau fanned the flames with 14 points and 12 rebounds for McGill, while James Simon pumped in 17 and showed some nifty outside shooting.

On Sunday, the Redmen faced the Toronto Varsity Blues, a team that had already lost to Bishop’s and Concordia on the weekend.

“We weren’t planning on going 0 and 3 on this road trip,” said Toronto coach Ken Olynyk. Too bad, Ken. This game was more than physi­ cal, it was brutal. Bodies hit the floor all game long, and some­ times the referee even stopped the play. Both teams played tight de­ fence, and the Redmen shut down Toronto’s normally sharp outside shooting.

Once again, Soussan’s playmak­ ing controlled the tempo of the game. The wizardcontinued to “zip it” inside, usually to Brousseau, who went on a rampage near the end of the half. Still, the Redmen trailed 33-32 with 20 minutes to play.

The second half began with more of the same, and neither team held more than a five-point lead for the rest of the game. The only way Toronto could score was for 6’8" forwards Rob Wilson and Mark Harvey to stand under the basket and drop the ball in. Meanwhile, Brousseau and Bruce McElroy were combining a solid inside game with great perimeter shooting to keep pace with the Blues.

With two minutes left, Toronto was leading 62-61, and Brousseau decided to take things into his own hands. With the shot clock running down, he hit a fade-away jumper.

And with 40 seconds left, he sunk a pair of free throws to put McGill up by three.

Toronto, of course, didn’t give up, but McGill played incredible defence. And when the ball fell off of Harvey and into Paul Brousseau’s hands with two sec­ onds left, The Redmen had won, 65-63. Brousseau had a game-high 25 points, McElroy had 18, and McGill had upped its record to 5 wins and a loss.

So the weekend was a good one for the Redmen. Soussan showed leadership with Steiner out.

Brousseau’s average went down to continued on page 21

M ichael Moore holds the scalpel fo r Roger & M e

R o g e r & M e in o u r o w n b a c k y a r d

BY CHARLIE QUINN "You know when they send you flowers? They sendyouflowers when youdie." - An autoworker after being laid off in Hint, Michigan.

Hold the flowers! Michael Moore is alive and well. Alive and well due to the success of his lirsi film, Roger&Me. Roger (Roger Smith, the chair­ man of General Motors) & Me (Moore) is the story of a boy and his town, and how the town goes from boom to bust. It is also the story of the reaction the town has to going bust, both by the people affected, and the people responsible. But above everything else, it is the story of Michael Moore’s attempt to bring Roger Smith to Hint, Michigan to see what his decision to close eleven factories, and lay off 35,000 people have done.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be the stuff that an enter­ taining movie would be based on. In fact, most people would probably prefer a root canal to seeing the suffering of families being evicted from their homes on Christmas Eve, and the pre-dinner skinning of a rabbit. But, to fall into that trap would be to underestimate the acid wit of Michael Moore.

Returning to Flint after a very brief stint as editor of Mother Jones in California, Moore discovers that Hint is going downhill at an alarm­ ing rate. General Motors is starting to close some of its factories in order to move them to Mexico where the labour is cheaper. Unfortunately the factories keep on closing until they are all gone.

Moore takes pains to point out that there still is a single factory left, but it is making lint rollers. Not

exactly automobiles, but “At least people’s clothes will be lint free.”

It is this ability to point out the absurdity that abounds when corpo­ rate America has gone wrong that makes this film not only entertain­ ing, but enlightening.

The film’s strongest point is its ability to cut back and forth realisti­ cally between the affluent and the destitute. One minute Moore will be showing street after street of vacant houses with the Beach Boy’s “Wouldn’t it be Nice” playing in the background. In the next minute he has Anita Bryant, the Orange Juice Queen, tell us that there is a lot that America has to be proud of, al though she herself is only able to think of “freedom and sunshine.”

Not willing to rest, Moore keeps on going at a frantic pace. He tries to visit Smith’s office, and after being

told that Smith is currently unavail­ ment with the distributors, Warner able, Moore shows us the despera­ Brothers and Famous Players have tion of some families being evicted agreed to leave a seatempty atevery by deputy Fred.

Le Maison Vietnam St. Dominique off Prince Arthur The restaurant is almost com­ pletely obscured by a wall of graf­ fiti-embossed concrete, but if you look closely, you can see a vermecelli noodle sliding out from under the door.

Well, not really.

Le Maison Vietnam keeps the food on the plates, but piles them so high with food that the noodles could feasibly spill over the side and out the door.

But anyway.

What is striking about Le Mai­ son Vietnam is not so much the food (plentiful, though very sim­ ply prepared dishes of chicken/ shrimp/beef coiled up in noodles), or the location (near but not actu­ ally on the Prince Arthur restau­ rant strip, which makes it handily empty on Saturday nights). It is the atmosphere.

Atmosphere is almost com­ pletely dead in Montréal. Diners don’t think twice about grinding their elbows into their neighbour’s food or enduring the distracting sensation that the walls are closing in as long they are getting good

food. Service, along with the smil­ ing, has been relegated to McDonald’s, where the workers have no choice.

All of which makes Le Maison Vietnam- which features waiters who bring food rapidly, serve it without snarling, and do not con­ duct the meal at the speed of lightan enjoyable experience. Plus the owners don’t force customers to empty their wallets on the table.

Entreés run between 5-7 dollars.

The decore is quirky. Notice the music. It’s impossible not to, be­ cause this is the stuff of elevators gone truly and irreversibly insane.

The flute/guitar/ synthesizer back­ ground music is assertively played at about 100 decibles, but the ef­ fect is somehow soothing. So are the straightbacked chairs that en­ force sitting up straight but give invaluable assistance to novice chopstick holders who are trying to move their faces closer to the plate. And for those impressed by elegance, there is a red rose on every table. For those who are not, the rose is fake.

But for those willing to walk forty paces off the beaten track, Le Maison Vietnam is worth the ef­ fort

King Lear: A farcical romp into the world of Shakespeare n v

r m t v c r-rv ^ rr

BY C O L IN SCO TT

Shakespeare, for the average person, is often thought of as dry, overly intellectual and full of strange words that no one really understands. Not so for Alexandre Hausvater’s KING LEAR: A deLEARium PARADE. The odd words are still there but the action is anything but dry.

The production is being pre­ sented by the Association of Pro­ ducing Artists (APA) at M cGill’s Player’s Theatre. The APA is a professional theatre group based in Montréal and they are using Player’s because it was the only available venue.

The action of the play, which follows the script of the original Lear in a very broad way, is fast and fierce. However, while this farcical romp into the world of Shakespeare may be inventive and entertaining, it lacks that certain charm and powerful feeling that goes with the traditional version.

The set is an imaginative piece of work designed by Jean-Charles Martel. Actors are constantly pop­ ping up from the three-tiered row o f benches that are the centerpiece or poking through the slanting walls o f rubber ribbon that flank the benches. Combined with a well manoevered lighting system, the set proves to be quite dynamic.

However, the real grabber of the play is the action. Set in an insane asylum, the play opens with a nun pushing a broom across the stage.

She is followed shortly by the rest of the cast, dressed in colorful cabaret costumes, all shouting, “I am the King.”

The pandemonium builds until Lear (Joseph Cazalet) appears on the scene and promptly dives into his famous lines, spouting, “Blow winds and crack your cheeks! ” only to be told by the others, “Not yet!”

This leap into experimental the­ atre is imaginative yet it loses the essence of Shakespeare in the translation’. Characters havebeen changed or dropped completely from the play, and the end result is a somewhat confusing flow of action. Gloucester (Emma S tevens) is now a woman while Lear’s self­ ish daughters Goneril (Geraldine Farrell) and Regan (Louisa Col- • lins) have no husbands. Cordelia (Barbara Poggemiller) is pregnant and also without husband. Further twists are added when the sons of Gloucester disguise themselves in women’s drag. * Comedic relief is often provided by the interaction between Lear and the Fool (Harry Stanjofski), who spend much time frolicking around the stage, singing and danc­ ing. However, the fascination is short-lived. While the play suc­ ceeds in entertaining the audience, it fails to bring out the true glory of Lear. Those unaquainted with the story will undoubtedly find them­ selves confused and lost.

. . . .

Making matters even more con fusing is the fact that symbolism runs rampant through this play.

Freudian sexual figures bombard the audience at every turn with virtually no relevance to the play itself. The actors must come to

grips with the fact that they arc inm ates in an asylum and Shakespearean characters at the same time which often leads to character conflicts.

Students of Shakespeare hoping to gain insight into Lear through

this production would be well advised to look elsewhere. Never­ theless, the play does provide a good time, as confusing as it may be. When given their chance to shine, the actors live up to the challenge of theatre at its most

“alternative”.

King Lear: a DeLEARium Pa­ rade is playing A t player's Theatre until January 27. Regular Tickets are $10, $5 fo r students and sen­ iors.

Bagnell and Fellows survive Rhodes scrutiny

Last month while most of us were engaged in a brutal battle with the books preparing for our exams, two McGill athletes were also trying to cope with the excit­ ing distraction of being named Rhodes Scholars.

THE SPORTS PIT

BY AARON MARGOLIS They’re called role players. In motion picture jargon they’re termed “the supporting cast”.

These are the people involved in a production in order to add credi­ bility, power, and a sense of reality to the performance of the main players.

For a project to be successful it is critical that the stars of the show gel with the supporting cast.

This year, much of the media attention on the McGill men’s basketball team has focused on the exploits of David Steiner and Paul Brousseau. And deservedly so. The two are the unquestionable stars of the team.

Steiner, with his magnificent scoring touch and leadership quali­ ties, and Brousseau, a relentless rebounder and scorer, represent the glamour players.

Still, much of McGill’s success on the court this year is a direct result of the hard work and com­ mittment illustrated by players who receive less attention in media circles but whose work is duly recognized on the team.

Michael Soussan, Jamie Simon, and Bruce McElroy are the three names that round out the McGill

starting five.

Each contributes in a diverse way. Their play is measured in terms other than merely points and rebounds.

Soussan, a 6’2" guard from Cote St. Luc, is unquestionably the fast­ est player on the team. As the point guard his job is to start the posses­ sion, push the ball up court, and begin the plays.

Because of his speed, Soussan is often called upon to guard the opponents’ most skilled player.

This is a job requiring boundless energy and determination. Yet Soussan still finds time to score. In a recent three game span he aver­ aged 17 points per game, twice hitting for 20 points.

Jamie Simon, the team’s tallest player at a lofty 6 ’7", is a perfec­ tionist A constant threat on the boards, his greatest downfall is that at times he gets down on himself when he makes a mistake.

Simon brings intensity to the team and more often than not is there when the Redmen need a key basket or offensive rebound.

The unsung hero of the McGill Redmen basketball team is Bruce McElroy. In his fourth year at McGill, McElroy has finally come into his own on the team.

At 6’2", from Vernon B.C, McElroy is the team’s best defen­ sive player.

Says David Steiner, “Bruce is the calmest person on the floor, in the four years I’ve played with him I’ve never seen him get riled up out there.”

Though rarely mentioned in the media, Bruce McElroy does all the little things right. He can take charge when the Redmen need to regain possession of the ball or hit

the clutch three pointer to give the team a lift.

McElroy is also President of the Redmen ‘Skinned Knee’ society.

Whether it is diving after loose balls orextendinghimself to knock away an opponent’s dribble, McElroy is truly a team player.

As the Redmen turn the comer and spy Concordia and the play­ offs in the near future it will be of crucial importance that such play­ ers as Michael Soussan, Jamie Simon, and Bruce McElroy con­ tinue their strong play.

Coach Ken Schildroth has put together a very close knit, scrappy, and focused squad.

The team is a mixture of veter­ ans and promising rookies who all

seem driven towards a common goal; getting past Concordia and taking a trip to Halifax in March for the CIAU championships.

Just recently the final piece to the puzzle may have been found.

In the next week or so veteran guard Ariel Franco makes his re­ turn to the lineup after missing the first half of the season due to ineli­ gibility.

Franco is a gregarious Uruguayian who brings humour, in­ tensity, and the nastiest three point shot this side of the Tropic of Capricorn. He may well be the final link the Redmen need to raise their game to the level of champi­ onship calibre.

Stingers scalp Redmen in Ste. Anne de Bellevue

BY N IC K LEONARDOS

In hockey, leadership is usually measured by the number of times a guy puts the puck in the net. Last Tuesday night at Glenfinnan Rink on the campus of Macdonald Col­ lege, McGill hosted Concordia in an exhibition game which Concor­ dia won 5-4. Neither team looked sharp, and both teams were with­ out their leaders.

Both Tim Iannone, who is McGill’s all-time point leader, and Richard Laplante, ninth on Con­ cordia’s all-time list, sat out due to injury. Iannone, having dislocated his shoulder on December 2 against Laurentian, said “I hope to be back on the 26th [versus Toronto], maybe sooner”.

With Iannone shelved for the night, Coaches A1 Grazys and Jean Pronovost experimented with dif­ ferent lines throughout the game, even to the point of trying All-Star defenceman Alain Cusson on right wing, and splitting the netminding duties between backup Jay Allen and Jamie Reeve.

Concordia defenceman E.J. Janiszewski opened the scoring at 4:06 of the first period. The play symbolized McGill’s lack of tim­ ing and mental awareness, as Jan­ iszewski took the puck at the blue line and cruised in unchallenged by any McGill skater or netminder Allen.

McGill responded at 9:10 when Martin Olivier scored on a Marc Lajeunesse rebound on the power play. Concordia regained the lead three minutes later, also with the man advantage, as Danny Desabrais scored on a shot which hit Allen’s blocker before going in.

McGill saved their best effort for the second period, but were stoned by Stinger backup goalie Todd Talbot, who only allowed one goal. Talbot made key stops on breakaways by Olivier, Taro Kaibara, Brent Bannerman and Lajeunesse.

McGill also came out in the second hitting with little regard for life, limb, or glass for that matter.

Alain Cusson lined up Stéphane Therrien in the comer and took out not only Therrien but a pane of glass as well. Defencemen Bryan Larkin and Paul Pulver also spent most of the night delivering some crowd pleasing hits.

Each team exchanged goals in the second, a period in which McGill should have carved out a lead. Martin Raymond scored at 7:14 à la Cam Neely as he made the hit, stole the puck, and went in alone from the right slot, deking Talbot low and putting the back­ hander high. At 17:17 Chris Lovisek returned the lead to Con­ cordia, 3-2, going into the final session.

Marc Richard scored his first goal of the season, one-timing a behind the net pass from Chris Hobson to tie the game for the third time at 3-3. But Concordia got goals 1:26 apart as Janiszewski and Scott Kerins, on a breakaway, scored to put the game out of reach.

Alain Cusson put a low wrister in from the left point with three min­ utes remaining to make the final 54.

In all respects except perhaps checking, McGill played a disap­ pointing game, but it was more a result of switched lines and changed defensive assignments than Concordia actually outplay­ ing them. They seemed to be a team without direction.

Redmen Notes Concordia holds the overall edge, with a48-21-5record against McGill. In the last 38 games how­ ever, McGill has a 21 -13-4 record.

McGill’s OUAA season record remains at 5-5-2, good for third in the East division behind Yoric and

UQTR. McGill and Concordia meet tonight at Loyola Campus and again on February 9, at 7:30 for the Corey Cup, held at the

Montréal Forum. There are plenty of great seats still available, and prices range from $5 to $8.

McGill took part in the Viking

Cup tournament, held at Camrose, Alberta, and came away with gold medal honors. Goalie Jamie Reeve snagged Tournament MVP title.

McGill's Paul Grech sends a shot ju s t under Talbot's glove, and ju s t wide o f the net.

Todd Talbot leaves no room fo r Redmen winger Taro Kairara on this breakaway.

...more hoop continued from page 19 26.3 points per game. The McGill bench played well, most notably freshman guard Paul Meyer, who was impres­ sive with his solid defence. And the whole team showed grace under pressure.

Clutch plays? The Redmen will need all they can get for the present seven-game road trip of death if they are to remain in the hunt for first place.

Inspiration abounds at Total Workout

BY ERIC BLOCK AND AMY SATQV_____________________ Well, it is now January. No doubt, persons are concerned with the inevitable weight gain that the Yuletide brings. Ultimately, this weight gain seriously renders the individual unable to build suffi­ cient confidence to approach other individuals in the promiscuous McGill way.

So then, how does one simulta­ neously raise the spirits, lower the weight, endure the ugliness of Montréal winter, even more, Robert Bourassa’s ugly face, in this vicious, never-ending cycle of higher learning?

Fortunately for McGill, we are blessed with the presence of Zoey, an almost mythical creature who leads sold out classes of ‘Total Workout’ on Mondays and Fri­ days at our very own Sir Arthur Currie Gym. Here, classes are solid evidence that students at McGill do have the spirit, and that they

need not dye themselves purple to prove their existence.

Zoey is a highly qualified, intel­ ligent, inspiring, energetic Physi­ cal Education student whose gift lies in making people happy while giving them a demanding aerobic workout. “I try to make it fun.

McGill students want to have it that way. I take a lot of time to select my music. McGill students are faced with intense pressure and need to have fun.”

Naturally, the misogynist reader is asking, “C’mon, jumping around in spandex...is this for real men?”

Well, Zoey refutes this backwards logic by saying, “Guys can do this too. Simply because a long time ago ‘dance’ exercise scared guys away, today this is no longer true.

Guys are coming out” Zoey’s name is Greek for life.

You can come out on Mondays and Fridays with the proper shoes.

Her quintessential motto is indica­ tive of her personality, “Always sweat a smile.” See you there!

Martlets stumble in own Invitational Tournament

BY AMY WILSON It was a disappointing weekend for the Martlets at the McGill Invitational BasketballToumamentheld at Currie, Jan. 5-7. On Friday night, they suf­ fered a one-point loss to Laval 65-64.

They conquered Queen’s 69-67 on Saturday in overtime, andlostagainon Sunday to the Dalhousie Tigers.

Sunday’s contest was a case of shift­ ing momentum. The Martlets con­ trolled the first half and faltered in the second. Initially, McGill defense kept Dal on the outside. The Tigers had to be content with Hail Mary shots and bombs.

Swing guard Tina Fasone drew first blood and continued throughout the game to be McGill’s offensive power.

Dal, a much taller team than the Mar­ tlets, outrebounded McGill, gaining the lead early in the first quarter 8-4.

Fasone dropped a swish from the el­ bow and a ringer from the baseline to tie it up 8-all. She was fouled on a drive to the hoop for another two points, pulling McGill ahead for the first time 14-12.

Fasone lobbed a nice one under­ neath to Ross for another basket for a McGill 8-point lead 20-12.

Dal, denied the key, put up a few long bombs, but McGill went into overdrive at the close of the half. Beth Armstrong drilled a beautiful pass to

Glynn who scored the last bucket of the quarter. McGill led 30-23 at the half.

The rhythm changed into the third quarter. Dal’s outside shooters found the basket and hit a few from the base­ line. Morse responded with a short 2 of her own and a crosscourt bomb from Armstrong to Fasone led to a layup.

McGill hung on to their 5-point lead with a beauty from Morse, 38-33.

Dal’s outside shooters got hot for a 3-pointer and asubsequent basketgave them back the lead at 43-42. The Ti­ gers pulled away on a 3-point play, 4642.

McGill started to scramble like breakfast eggs. Dal hit two 3-pointers and suckered the defence with a pump fake and a layup for a 57-44 lead, loss fouled out on a very cheap call and Corrie Stepan got hit hard in the face but toughed it out. The Martlets were toast on offense but hung in on de­ fence, though they were badly beaten on the boards.

Individually, the tournament wasn’t a total loss. Fasone and Glynn scored 17 apiece in the Laval match, Stepan had 20 and Ross 15 against Queen's, and the Dal contest netted Fasone 14 and Morse 12 points each. Fasone was also named to the tournament All-Star Team.

Nonetheless, Coach Chris Hunter was disappointed by the Martlets’

overall performance. “We held the leads at the halves, and then let them slip away,” he said, noting that the loss of big play-maker Tracey Hayman to a shopping injury hurt the McGill effort.

As for the Dalhousie game. Hunter pinpointed the Tigers ’boards and better defence as the plays which costMcGill.

“Their defence pushed us wide,” he admitted, “and you don’t usually start plays at halfcourt.”

The lackof consistent outside shoot­ ing from the Martlets was a problem too. “If we had sunk a few hot ones inside, Dal would have had to collapse their defence, which would have given our outside shooters a break,” Hunter added. As it was. Dal stretched the McGill offence too wide, and the Martlets just weren’t up to it.

Laval won the tournament title, and McGill will have to wait another year to try again.

Martlet Notes The Martlets visited Bishop’s Lady Gaiters and lost 72-54. Alice Harding led Bishop’s with 18 points while Andrea Lackey and Christina van Bameveld added 13 each. Debbie Morse had 14 and Beth Armstrong had 12 for McGill. They travel to Laurenti an for a Friday game before returning home to host Concordia, who has lost 43 straight games.
