The M cGill Tribune, September 12-18,1989
Exam schedule could be available at early registration BY ROBERT STEINER A Senate working group’s recommenda tion that McGill’s exam schedule be printed with the academic calendar in time for early registration is a “victory for students” S SMU VP (University Affairs) Kate Morisset said last week. In its report prepared during the summer, a working group of the Senate Timetable Committee also suggests there be four “lecture-free” study days before a 10-day exam period, rather than the current single study day proceeding 13-days of exams.
Such a tight exam schedule is possible, the report says, if students are tested in amphi theatres as well as the gym and classrooms, as is currently the practice. The report should be “accepted easily” when it goes to Senate for ratification next week, working group Chairman Richard Cruess (Dean of Medicine) said. “The Senate has already seen the report, and we have ironed out the problems that were brought up at that time,” he explained. “There can always be little things that are
brought up, but the broad thrust should be well considered.” But Cruess cautioned that McGill’s new exam schedule would take two years to im plement. First, next fall, the university would have to implement the report’s timetabling recommendations to begin classes half an hour later at 8:30 a.m., encourage Friday classes and spread out class times. “We can only give out the exam schedule during early registration if we tie exams to their class times. So we have to figure out how to deal with multi-sectioned courses and new scheduling regulations that may be
implemented in the fall.” The report may face its toughest reading at Student Council’s first meeting tonight. Councillors are likely to argue that a 10-day exam schedule is too short to give students fairly-spaced exams. But Morisset, who sat on the working group, hopes students see the 10-day sched ule as more than just a compromise. “We told the faculty members of the committee that if students were allowed to choose their courses with a view to their exam schedules, then we would accept a shorter exam period.”
new s briefs SSMU, administration plan computerized elections Future Students’ Society elec tions and referenda will be assisted by the use of a computerized data base, SSMU V-P Internal Affairs Ray Satterthwaite said last week. Students offering their ID cards at polling stations will be checked against a database of eligible vot ers, thus preventing ineligible or double voting and making the punching of cards unnecessary. McGill Office Systems Coordina tor John MacNeill helped put the new system together, and the Uni versity contributed half of the sys tem’s $6000 cost. Marchers to "Take Back the Night" Friday The McGill Women’s Union is asking people to “take back the night” next Friday in a march east of the McGill ghetto. Organizer Naim Holz said the event would be a “fun and rowdy” effort to give women confidence in a city rife with sexual assault. Marchers plan to gather with candles, noisemakers and banners at Parc Lafontaine at 7:30 p.m. and will walk to a dance at the Union Française, 429 Viger St.
Future of ASUS Arts reps uncertain Arts students may once again go
to the polls to elect three council lors, ASUS executives said yester day. Last year’s elections were contested in April when one candi date complained his campaign pho tograph had not been displayed properly in the McGill Daily. Al though last year’s ASUS council agreed with its chief returning officer’s overruling the complaint some faculty’s leaders now be lieve the “convoluted” situation can only be corrected with new elec tions. The Faculty’s executive council planned to meet last night to decide whether or not new elec tions would be called for late Sep tember.
Welcome Week programs “successful” McGill student organizers have called last week’s maze of orienta tion programs “successful”. John Watson, a McGill Welcome Week ’89 organizer, said that many of the nighttime events, including a concert, comedy show, boat cruise, and the Junglebash, were sellouts or near sellouts. “Attendance was slower for daytime events and ori entation but overall Welcome week did very well,” he explained. Engi neering Undergraduate Society or ganizer Andew Schmidt was also happy with his group’s Orienta tion Week ’89, which included a lobby café, movies, a scavenger
hunt, and a pub crawl. Manage ment Undergraduate Society (MUS) V-P External Gaétan Romanelli said that the Management Welcome Week, which consisted
of parties, a com roast, movies, a pubcrawl and other events, had good but not full attendance, as students were frequently busy during the day.

All across Québec the pro vincial election has politicians scurrying from house to house trying to pick up votes. A t the sam e time, funding cutbacks over the past decade have put the province’s education sys tem in a state o f crisis. This is reflected at M cG ill by overcrowded classrooms, fall ing roofs and a whopping $50 m illion plus debt. Q uébec’s ability to produce the educated populace it w ill need to com pete econom ically is dwindling but none o f those scurrying poli ticians seem s to have m uch to say about it. W hy is that? Education today is perceived as a “ student” issue. Since we d o n ’t hold m any votes, the is sue is easier to ignore then the environm ent or language. This perception is unfortunate. Edu cation should be an issue for society at large. T his was the case twenty years ago when Québec froze tuition fees with an eye to page 4
end o f September. This conference will unite students, businesspeople, la bour, adm inistration and politi cians in a discussion about the future o f Québec education. It will provide an opportunity for different sectors o f society to talk about the relevance o f post secondary education to their work. M cGill Students are encour aged to attend th e É tats Généraux. F or us it w ill be an opportunity to participate in a review o f postsecondary edu cation in Québec today as well as explore its roots and the road it has taken to get to where it is today.

The M cGill Tribune, September 12-18,1989
Sex, drugs and yu p p ies drive ghetto crime up BY EVAN KERT Community activists are blaming prostitutes, drugs and an influx of yuppies for new crime highs in the McGill ghetto this year. “The yuppies have moved in with their nice cars and their nice apartments, and they’re getting robbed,” Sun Youth - a private community help group - crime prevention officer Victor Rodriguez told the Tribune last week. “The criminals want some fast money to buy a gram of coke or hash, and they’re not going to work at McDonald’s. To get it, they’ll do a little breaking and entering, and some car theft.” The area’s crime includes an average one murder a year in the ghetto area - a “high rate for such a small area”, Sun Youth director Sid Stevens said. Drugs and gentrification have compounded exist ing rape and prostitution problems to make the two police stations covering the ghetto Montréal’s busi est Police station 25, whose district includes the McGill ghetto and stretches from Atwater to Bleury, processed 4000 arrests last year, according to Sta
tion Director Roger Bouthillier. Many of the arrests were made in the areas surrounding McGill. “There’s a lot of crime because I have 500 000 people either passing through or working in my district each day,” he said. “ But we have good contact with the university, and we have resources to speak to the students.” Lieutenant Georges Ménard added that young constables from across the Island asked to be posted to his Station 33, just east of the ghetto, “because it’s great experience”. In spite of such enthusiasm, authorities continue to face an uphill battle against sexual crime in the ghetto. Prostitutes have converged for years on Prince Arthur and Pine Avenues and rape remains rampant on the dark streets surrounding the ghetto. “Rapes go unreported because women are embar rassed. They do not want to identify themselves in court,” Rodriguez said. Sun Youth is one of many community groups which has thrust civilians into the fight against growing crime. The organization teaches crime prevention, counsels victims, installs security sys tems for rape victims and will accompany them to court. Their offices are located at 4251 St. Urbain.
McGill Ghetto: Stranger in the Night
M oyse H all in uncertain state of renovation BY KIRSTEN MYERS Dispute over when a renovated Moyse Hall will be ready for use has angered campus politicians and performers. SSMU President Santo Manna and VP University Affairs Kate Morisset said last week that uni versity administrators had told them the Hall’s interior renova tions would be completed in Feb ruary 1990. But Associate Vice Principal (Physical Resources) Sam Kingdon, responsible for the project, denies that any comple tion dates have been set. Caught in the middle are McGill
performers who, for two years, have had to act, dance and sing in off-campus venues. This year the James McGill company, Savoy Society and Pro gramming Network had hoped Moyse Hall would be open for their productions. Programming Network organ izer Melanie Little says that with out Moyse Hall, her job this year would be “practically impossible”. “I want to give students more than just stand-up comics and bands,” she explained. “Without that space we cannot have any dance, or any produc tions that have more than 10-per
son casts.” Little added that Administration pledges to subsidize such perform ances in the National Theatre School if Moyse Hall is unavail able would not help the situation. “It’s a beautiful theatre, but it’s very far away and inconvenient,” she explained. But other performers say they are no longer even certain they would be compensated if Moyse Hall remains closed in the spring. Kingdon explained such matters would be “worked out with the group in question” later in the year. This month’s confusion is the
IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING THE REFUND OF FEES
McGill
The policy regarding refunds of tuition and materials fees, as indicated in the 1989-90 announcements and the Fee Information Booklet, has beeen changed to comply with government funding requirements. Effective September 1, 1989, when sudents drop or withdraw from courses a full refund* will be provided only until September 22nd in the fall term and January 19th in the winter term. These dates coincide with the third Friday of lectures in each term. No partial refunds will be available. Students, and in particular those paying the higher tuition fees for foreign students, are therefore advised to consider thier selection of courses very carefully and to make required changes promptly at the beginning of each term. ♦Less a minimum charge of $50 in the case of a complete withdrawal from the University.
latest chapter in the two-year saga of Moyse hall renovations. Right now, the theatre’s seats have been removed to make way for interior renovations. Kingdon expects exterior renovations to begin “no later than the end of October”. Nearly one and a half million dollars has been earmarked for the project. “We estimate total costs to amount to 2 million dollars,” Kingdon said. “The concentration now is on obtaining the difference. Hopefully construction won’t stop [when existing funds are expired] and then start again. We’d like to finish in one sh o t”

AVIS IMPORTANT SUR LE REMBOURSEMENT DES DROITS
La politique relative au remboursement des droits de scolarite*et des frais de materiel didacitque, laquelle figure dans les annuaires de 1989-90 et le guide de renseignements sur les droights, a été modifiée en conformité du nouveau reglement gouvernemental sur le financement A compter du 1er septembre 1989, advenant qu'un étudiant abandonne un cours, le remboursement integral* de ses droits ne lui sera consenti que jusqu'au 22 septembre pour le trimestre d'automne et jusqu'au 19 janvier pour le trimestre d'hiver. Ces dates conincident avec le troisième vendredi de cours de chaque trimestre. Les remboursements partiels ne seront plus autorises. Les étudiants et en particulier ceux qui payent les droits de scolarité plus elevés des étudiants étrangers sont donc priés de procéder au choix de leurs cours avec le plus grand soin et d'effecturr rapidement les changements nécessaires au début de chaque trimestre. * Moins des frais minimum de 50$ dans le cas d'un retrait complet de l'universite'. _______________________________ __ pageS

CVC food services under review BY SHANNON ALDINGER Student’s Society has commis sioned a $20,000 outside audit of CVC services, the company that operates the SSMU-controlled campus cafeterias and pubs. The outside audit breaks a tradi tion of simply having the company submit its own monthly financial statements to SSMU V .P. Finance. Council last commissioned an outside audit of CVC five years ago. SSMU is set to renew its contract with the food and bever age group this year. CVC
“We’re interested in reviewing the efficiency of the catering op erations and whether or not we’re generating the revenue we should be,” SSMU VP Finance JeanCharles Viens said. SSMU V.P. Internal Affairs Ray Satterthwaite explained that dissentamong CVC’s satellite cafete rias over control of their contracts and the splitting of CVC’s once single food and beverage contract into two contracts prompted the audit “The audit is actually more like a review,” Viens explained.
a u d it : c o u n t y o u r c h a n g e a n d k e e p y o u r r e c e ip t s
“It will give us an idea of what we want in food services when we negotiate a new contract later this year.” The audit should include obser vations on management structure, staff use, inventory control, mar
keting and operating hours. Audi tors will also ask students what they think of the service. Students will learn of the audit’s results in October, Satterthwaite said. At that point council will decide
whether to renew CVC’s contract. CVC has been feeding McGill students for nearly five years. [news ed. note: Due to a prov ince-wide strike, emergency nurses at the Royal Victoria Hospital were not available for comment.]

of his salary as a deputy. He claims “the unemployed are jobless out of choice: they don’t want to join large companies and pollute the world, they would rather play gui tar.” All these people are creative, says Chevalier, we just have to put them to work. Generalizations? Nope, not here. Chevalier is very pro education, and manages to tie this in with his environmental concerns. “We must educate the first and second grades ecologically,” he said. He appears to blame entrepreneurial failure on inadequate education, with insuf ficient emphasis on those pesky regulations. One other big beef was that there was 7 billion dollars spenton health care for cigarette smoking related diseases from 4 billion dollars in taxes from cigarettes. It took me a while to realize that what bugged him was the fact that the govern ment was spending an extra 3 bil lion on health care. What kind of terrible government would spend money on its people?

D i Bona: Quixotic idealism ing the people largely powerless to resist. This scenario is unlikely here, but by standing as candidate for the party, DiBona is resisting its earliest stages. According to DiBona, the Equal ity party is the de facto Québec wing of the federal Liberal party. Apparently, at least some Federal Liberals agree. David Berger, Liberal M.P. for S t Henri-Westmount declared his support for the party, claiming that its goals and ideals were those of the Liberals. In the arena of language, they fa vour bilingual signs and where numbers warrant, parental choice of the language of instruction for their children. The party stands strongly opposed to the Meech Lake accord. DiBona himself is a strong ad vocate for student issues, and a major enthusiast of higher educa tion. When asked how he feels about running in a riding with three universities, he replied, “I’m ex cited of course. It is the future!” Having worked his own way
BY GALLAGHER MACKAY Eight months ago, Bill 178 was passed by the Québec National Assembly using the “Notwith standing” clause. In so doing, it directly contravened the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling on com mercial signs, defining choice of language as a basic right in Can ada. Out of that crisis, the Equality party was formed. While language acted as the trig ger, the party formed to combat legislative disregard of the consti tution. The role of the National Assembly is to govern in accor dance with the constitution: to uphold it as a policeman does the law. This cause is near to the heart of José Di Bona, the Equality Party candidate in the riding of SL Louis, who spent the first fifteen years of his life in Paraguay and Argentina. Latin America provides many ex amples of governments overstep ping their mandates, and by whit tling away at rights contained in already weak constitutions, mak
through school, he not only fa vours the tuition freeze but a total revamping of the fee system. He would abolish all fees and set up a system of grants and loans to allow a decent standard of living in the course of getting an education. Merit rather than ability to pay would be the only criterion for admission to university. Other major causes are daycarewhich he sees as the one clear resolution to the contradiction of increasing the birth rate while al lowing “women to be integrated into the work force.” In the field of health care, Di Bona calls for an improvement in conditions for the patients and for the caregivers, like the striking nurses.

PQ's Veronneau: Going in the same direction
BY SARAH JOHNSON It takes courage to run for office in downtown Montréal. No riding in the province of Québec is more diverse than that of St. Louis, which encompasses three universities (two of them English), a large immigrant population, and an ever-widening gulf between rich and poor. Satisfy ing all of these elements is next to impossible for any party, but it will particularly difficult for the Parti Québécois, whose separatist platform is for bidding to many voters, and in par ticular anglophones. The Liberal party has tradition ally been all things to all people, which accounted for its success in the last election. However, after four years in office, marked by increas ing problems with language and housing, the Liberals are starting to lose favour. The Equality party, which supports a multi-cultural Québec, is gaining support in the English-speaking community, but surprisingly, the P.Q. is also attract ing attention. Ariane Veronneau, the P.Q. can didate for St. Louis, hopes to con ciliate her electorate with a promise to “strengthen the heart of Mon tréal”, and it may be working. Just last week, the Portugese community announced its support, and even
some anglophones are expressing interest. At 29, Veronneau is being touted as one of the young P.Q. can didates. Her idealism appears to match her youth. Soft-spoken and self-deprecating, she is unlikely as a jive-talking politician. “I chose this district because of its social problems,” she says “I run for social justice. I was a single mother. I had to raise my child during the recession and it was very difficult. I think the way society treats single mothers is revolting.” In St. Louis, 2056 out of 3059 families are headed by a single par ent, 80% of which are women. Through a variety of social pro grams such as mothers’ helpers and youth centres, Veronneau hopes to provide these families with a place in the community. To deal with the increasing poverty in the district, she proposes constructing low-rent housing and increasing social assis tance. However, communicating these plans to the constituents will be a formidable task. A large number of the residents of St. Louis are immi grants, a group traditionally inac tive at the polls. “It’s difficult to convince some one who doesn’t speak any French or English [to get out and vote],” Veronneau admits, saying that she
V e r o n n e a u : f ig h t in g f o r s o c ia l ju s t ic e

has had difficulties in speaking to the Portugese and Chinese of the area. In addition, there is no love lost between the immigrants and franco phones of Montréal, since immi grants are currently perceived to be the gravest danger to French cul ture. “They come here and think they’re in the United States,” says Veron neau “and 7 out of 10 will choose to learn English over French.” Veronneau considers the inde pendence of Québec to be funda mental in arresting this development, saying that independence will make it clear that French is the official language. Her separatist stance is likely to be her biggest obstacle in attracting votes. However, Veron neau doesn’t see it that way. In he eyes, separatism is the solution t< most of Québec’s troubles. “It’s not to our advantage to sta; a part of Canada - and not just for th< French. Québec gives a lot more ti Canada than it receives. Investmen in research and development is es sential to Québec’s economy, bu right now Ontario gets most of tha money. Québec should be able ti manage its own priorities.” Citing the issue of chronic under .funding for the universities o Québec, something which is of evi dent concern to McGill students Veronneau claims that Ontario wil receive $160 million more tha: Québec this year. She feels that funding for universities is apriority, a policy which she plans to empha size when talking to students at McGill, Concordia, and UQAM. This will have to be her strong suit there, given the potential hard feel ings of English-speaking students at these institutions. “We have to stop quarrelling about language,” states Veronneau. “Bill 101 gave stability to Québec. Now, with Bourassa, it’s always instabil ity because both the French and the English don’t like how he manages the language issue.” The proposals of the Parti Québé cois will require a great deal of funding, and rely on the assumption that Québec’s independence will increase its revenue. However, whether the P.Q. can win this elec tion remains to be seen. According torecentpolls.theLiberalscontinue to lead, but their lead is weakening. Success for the P.Q. depends, on the ability of the Liberals to appease its constituents. Ariane Veronneau, however be lieves that the future of Québec is clear, and simple: “We should all go in the same direction.”
...Equality continued from page 9 When asked how all these plans would be funded, DiBona replied “Taxes. That’s what they are there for.” He stresses a reallocation of resources, away from puttting up hundreds of new stop signs, and policing language laws. Above all, he thinks a strong Québec with a multicul tural climate would act as an incentive to foreign investment, “the single best way to increase
revenues.” José di Bona was very agreeable-the interview took place crosslegged on the floor of his campaign office which doesn’t have any chairs. It is unlikely that he will win in this riding, but for those who wish to take a chance and support Don Quix ote against the entrenched poli ticians who haunt our headlines, this might be a good place for a protest vote.

perfect state?
Liberal's Chignon: language "not really an issue" BY AUBREY KASSIRER Jacques Chagnon is the incum bent candidate for the Liberal party in the St.-Louis riding, which in cludes McGill. According to Chag non, and just about everyone else, the Parti Québécois poses the larg est threat to the Liberal government. In addition to being the official op position, the PQ is also well-organ ised. The PQ is of special concern for Chagnon, as his riding in down town Montreal is about fifty per cent francophone. There are also several smaller parties and independents with can didates in various ridings through out Québec. The nineteen smaller parties include the Unity party and the Equality party, both recently formed to preserve anglophone in terests in Québec.
for whom the:ire is simply not enough affordable hilousing. Like any political candii e, he is promising construction of more low cost accomo:r the years, “a lot of dation rooms have been destroyed in the area, so we have to rebuild that We have already built 350 rooms in the last three yiears.” Chagnon says that there is the possibility of helping students by purchasing land as close as possible to the university. One must quesidon his commitment in carrying th:is through, as he hastily disclaimed, “there are problems in downtown Montréal as to the high cost of the and.” Concoridia , McGill, and UQAM are all fi nanced well below the average of Quélbec universities. He sees two main goals, to bring local universifies up to the Québec average and to allow all Québec universities to grow to the average level of fund
ing among Canadian universities. This solution will include break ing the twenty-year tuition freeze. Of the present situation he says, “it is impossible to continue that way.” He adds that the government will have to increase the loan and bur saries budget to compensate for the massive tuition increase. With all his plans for increased spending, Chagnon is faced with the question of funding. When asked, he answered that the Québec economy is growing quickly enough to fund all of his social priorities, while meeting the goal of cutting 1.5 Billion dollars from the deficit and reducing taxes “to compare with Ontario.” For more information, Jacques Chagnon’s campaign office can be reached at 987-6432.
When questioned on the govern ment’s record with regard to the language controversy, Chagnon, a francophone, responded, “language is not really an issue in this elec tion.” In defense of Bill 178, Chag non says, “it has at least frozen the francophone fears of cultural security...the debate is not over, the language debate will never end in Québec.” He supports the Meech Lake Accord, although he does not feel that it is a final solution. As far as Chagnon is concerned, the political system in Québec, and Canada, is tough for small political parties. “Generally we live in a twoparty system,” states Chagnon. He stresses that people in this province will still have to live together after September 25. If the anglophones choose to vote for fringe parties, they will only be marginalising their votes and excluding themselves from the “true choice” between the Québec Liberals and the PQ.

The Lilac Time is a U.K. band with a powerful message. Released in 1988, their second album, The Lilac Time, is just now starting to pop up in Montreal record stores. Or, more accurately, it is begin ning to slither seductively onto the record shelves and recline there as if it were king. This album is spiritual. It is sexual. The Lilac Time’s musical style might be described as ‘folk rock’, if you want to place unde served limitations on it by shunt ing it into a category. The band has a vocal presence in the tradition of The Birds: lulling, soothing, but still frustrated as hell with the big bad world. To be specific, The Lilac Time is pissed off at England, an acces sible symbol for all the strife and capitalist sloth of the world. At times, the disillusionment is blunt, as in the dark and mood’' Rockland, which blames not onb, he politi cal leaders but a sleepy ectorate forthenation’stroubles:, loldback the edges o f your gowns!

After a hell of alot of introspection, they came up with a reliable, if slightly intangible, scapegoat: human nature. We are essentially evil (puritanism wears pretty cloaks nowadays). But a central theme of

Perhaps this is what gives the album its strange combination of wistful hopeful ness.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Pearls before swine BY PAUL HORWITZ AND PAUL MICHELL The cure for the back-to-school blues, for as long as anyone can remember, has been the same: find a place to party, buy some beer, and stand around getting drunk with your friends. Well, 800 people turned up to do just that last Thurs day night at the Ballroom. But they forgot something - there were bands playing. At the Pursuit of Happiness/Sons of Freedom concert, working at cross-purposes took on a whole new meaning. The opening act was the Van couver band Sons of Freedom, a quartet touring off their self-titled major label debut. While each song was strong, with a good beat and tough, politically motivated sensi bility, the dynamics behind the set as a whole were poor. Though each song built well in tension (and speed - this is not the most steady rhythm section in the business), the set didn’t progress at all from song to song. Since most of the audience - dulled by their igno rance of the material and their unwillingness to try new things didn’t move a muscle during the set, it would have to be said that the Sons were a failure, though they obviously deserved better than this crowd. All boredom was set aside, however, as TPOH took the stage for a blistering rendition of “Killed By Love”, off their debut album, Love Junk. Standing stage center, lead singer/guitaristMoe Berg was, contrary to his nebbish appearance, a commanding presence as he shook both hair and guitar over the audience. Moe was flanked by the band’s recent additions, a pair of polar opposites consisting of list less Kris Abbott on rhythm guitar, and the fiery Leslie Stanwick on guitar and strong backing vocals (in fact, one of the stronger mo ments of the show was her lead vocal on a cover of Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen”). A bassist and a drummer, both doing their jobs with skill but not distinction, filled out the band. The band took us on a tour of Love Junk, which most people seemed to know. Berg’s songs are deceptively like pop confections,
about love in the new world. De ception is the key word here, however, since the lyrics subvert the world’s most tired subject with a liberal dose of irony and venom. Furthermore, TPOH like nothing better than to crank their amps up to 11, turning pop into a highvolume groove machine. High lights included “She’s So Young”, the satiric “Consciousness Raising As a Social Tool”, “Looking For Girls” (a big favourite among the more brutal membersof the crowd), and of course their biggest hi t, “F m An Adult Now”. The band also played several songs from the nascent album they will be recording in Woodstock shortly. These tunes demonstrated that Berg has strengthened his writing skills to the point where his songs break the traditional threeminute barrier on pop song length. From the sound of the lyrics, though, success hasn’t helped his personal life much. Of course, no show is without its little problems. Gee, take the Ball room for instance. Please. This is a venue with perpetual sound prob lems, similar to playing in a long gutter. Sons of Freedom, espe cially, got short-changed by a sound system that ruined their chances of being appreciated, while TPOH soundeda little tinny. Future shows should not have to deal with this kind of sloppy work. On the other hand, the band caused some of its own problems. Berg dragged on, fixing his guitar in between songs and raving about some form of sodomy that’s been bothering him recently. Still, give him a break; this was the worst of all possible crowds - sluggish mostly, rarely dancing, and enthu siastic at the wrong times. After the show, Berg described the audi ence as being “dull”, and they deserved the epithet. Even a Her culean effort couldn’t have roused these jerks. Lively it up, gang, or don’t come. All in all, this was a case of the right bands for the wrong people at the wrong place. Sons of Freedom still have to test themselves, but TPOH unquestionably have what it takes to provide the good times, if they can only find willing cus tomers.

Cantata Struggles bravely through its misery BY KIM FARLEY Itwouldbe unfair toblameBlack Theatre Workshop for the flaws in Cantata. The cast of this produc tion, which opened Thursday night at the Saidye Bronfman Theatre, milked a brittle script for all it was worth. The play is based on the diaries of Sylvia Stark, a former slave who creates a new life for herself on B.C.’s Saltspring Island. Unfortu nately, a story with the opportunity to look at slavery from a fresh per spective, to examine it as a triumph over demoralization, gets lost in cliches. Granted, it is tough going for any production about slavery to follow Roots. With much of slav ery’s horror already illustrated so impeccably in that work, each' successor has to search for, if not a new, at least a fresh vocabulary. Cantata reaches about the level of North and South in this depart m ent Regarding the Civil War, it has only this to contribute: “We’re not the reason, just the excuse.” Worst of all is its sensationalism of
the physical abuse blacks encoun tered. Hearing a slaveowner tell a girl to spread her legs and “pleas ure me” is grisly the first time, but when it is referred to again and again it seems exploitive. Not that Cantata fails to move the audience. There are moments when the power of the acting and the energy of the music reach
through the dialogue. But because of the condemnable subject mat ter, the cast already begins with our sympathy. We expect to be horrified, so that cannot be called an accomplishment. What shines in Cantata is that which we didn’t expect. As Sylvia, Sandra GrantGreene blossoms from a kicked dog into a glowing, strong woman.

Her development is a beautiful thing to watch, perhaps because she is the only character who seems significantly changed by freedom. All the actors possess the talent to show us that, but few release i t When they are allowed to break out in song, or are given the occa sional fresh monologue, the poten tial is evident Mostly, however, they are chained by the diary-style narra tion of the play: Periodically, the actors stop and narrate their be haviour, quoting Slyvia’s diaries. At times it can be effective, as when they describe the morbid process of ‘tarring and feathering’ escaped slaves. (Contrary to the
popular conception, which in volves a cartoonish marshall mut tering to his short deputy about what he’s gonna do with “those rascals”, tarring and feathering is a brutal punishment.In it the skin is ripped off, and victims either bleed to death or are scarred for life.) In this case, a dispassionate, almost clinical, description of the punishment works well. But other times the Brechtian technique gets infuriating. It is at war with the essence of Black Theatre, which is best when it is passionate and free. Just as Cantata’s rythym picks up, it gets censored. Other Brechtian techniques that director Svetlana Zylin couragously plays with succeed. She makes the slaveowners into idiotic caricatures by placing them in white masks and having them bark in stead of speak. They are sinister figures, yet absurd. And they re main on the fringes of our minds, where they belong in a production which intends to spotlight black talent. Aesthetically, Cantata is a mar vel. It is well worth the price of admission, if only to experience the unique energy present in the jubilant final song. Few theatre groups have the power to uplift an audience like this one. But regard ing its subject, Cantata does little more than consolidate our disgust. Why a group so evidently talented chose a play that won’t challenge them is a wasteful mystery.

Casualties of War: flaw ed but gripping BY NICHOLAS VASIL The subject is Vietnam. And once again, the bad guys are not the enemy. In Casualties ofWar, five young American soldiers, led by a Ser geant (Sean Penn), kidnap a Viet namese girl from her family in the middle of the night, rape her, and eventually kill her. The Vietnam Memorial may take a beating. But then director Robert DePalma probably does not be lieve in giving honourable mem ory to such an atrocity as the American war in Vietnam. Honour is clearly one aspect which Casualties o f War does not aim to explore. DePalma’s vision is brutal. And Sean Penn as the bestial leader of the American squad and instigator of the rape and kidnapping, is the perfect mouthpiece for DePalma. Michael J. Fox plays opposite Penn as Private Erickson, a right eous and indignant young soldier. He deliberately disobeys his ser geant’s command to “take his turn with the Vietnamese bitch”, and for the rest of the film stands out as the sole conscience of his unit, in direct and often violent opposition to his sergeant. Still, DePalma keeps this film realistic. Erickson is no angel; he is not above killing to defend his scruples. He stands apart from evil, yet he cannot help being tainted by it DePalma’s drive for aritistic high-ground falls short of epiphanic realisation, though. His assump tions about evil are just that, as sum ptions— unconscious and unexplored. He fails to illuminate his nightmarish vision for a hun gry audience. DePalma’s more overt attempts at social criticism are hindered by
the overly narrow focus. Our eyes, and minds, are neverallowed under the characters’ skins, into their lives. We see the evidence of cru elty, but never the psychological motivations behind i t We are left to assume that the tropical climate has brought out this Lord o f the Flies behaviour. The script is weak and predict able. The few lines which attempt to express something profound about America’s involvement in Vietnam sound shallow and con trived—too simple for the situation. DePalma is unable to get the audi ence out from under the mud of vo yeuristic violence and gore he constantly slings at it. His violent, graphic directing style has never relied on subdety, yet Casualties ofWar focuses on a subject which cries out for a more sensitive treat ment Casting Michael j. Fox as Er ickson seems at first a question able choice. Fox’s first lines, “Fuck...fuck...fuck”, sound forced coming out of the baby face of Alex P. Keaton. DePalma, how ever, appears to have been aware of the audience’s perception of his star. In a recent magazine inter view, he pronounced with charac teristic bluntness that “I wanted to take the [Family Ties] audience from the comfort of their living rooms and send them to Hell!” To Hell we went, and then some. By the rape scene, Fox has grown into Erickson. Penn is Penn— scum, and great at i t He is truly a versatile actor, bringing a haunt ing and venomous presence to Casualties o f War. However, the supporting cast is a disappointing collection of stiff and two-dimen sional cariacatures. Whether or not this subordina tion was intentional in order that Penn and Fox might shine, it foiled
onscreen. The first half hour of the film is slow, superficial, and irrele vant to what occurs later. It sludges along, a haphazard and meaning less series of shots which mars an
otherwise good film. But despite this slow start Casualties o f War evolves into adrilling movie which can be appreciated if only for its hellish depiction of war. Though
flawed, it angers and provokes, even nauseates. Generally that fulfills intent, although in this case he could have been alot more ambitious.

At 5:05 of the fourth quarter he dropped a 40 yard touchdown pass into the hands of Christian Masotti making it 29-7. Carleton did get down to McGill’s 30 yard line twice after the touchdown but came away empty-handed. The McGill defensive line ap plied pressure all game long while recording four quarterback sacks, two of which were by “Ravishing” Paul Kerr. Kerr was making his first appearance since injuring his knee early last season and was constantly a defensive threat. Aside from Petipas’ excellent performance kicking, the defence was McGill’s strongest attribute on Saturday. Defensive Co-ordi nator Mike Maurovich was pleased with his crew who surrendered no points, saying the quality of play was much higher than in last week’s loss (45-7) to Western. HeadCoach Charlie Baillie, backed up Coach Maurovich’s sentiments comment ing that “the defense coming to gether was most satisfying.

Redmen and Martlets survive warm up tournament BY NICK LEONARDOS Last year the Redmen soccer team lost in the national cham pionship game by a score of 10 on a penalty shot to the Uni versity of Toronto. At this weekend’s Old Four Exhibi tion Tournament in Toronto (McGill, Toronto, Western & Queen’s), McGill tasted sweet revenge as they defeated the Varsity Blues 4-2 in overtime. Striker John Hayward, who is now back at McGill as a graduate student, put the game into overtime with a late goal to tie it at one goal each. In the extra stanza, McGill took it to the defending cham ps, outscoring them 3-1 on two goals by striker Jeremy Prupas and yet another by Hayward. In the tournament final, McGill
could not get their offence going and lost to Western 2-1. The lone McGill goal came from Dennis Marijogo. With Prupas and Hayward, who led the Quebec University Soccer League in scoring two years ago, the Redmen enter the regular season as favorites to defend their league title. Their season opens at Trois Rivieres this Sunday. On the women’s side, the Martlets lost the tournament opener 4-1 to Toronto, with Barbara Bruckert tallying the lone marker for McGill. In the consolation final, Jane Shaw scored for McGill but it wasn’t enough as ^Queen’s won 2-1. The Martlets open their season this Sunday, hosting Sher brooke at 1:00pm at Molson Stadium.

Martlets field hockey looks to im prove this season BY AMY WILSON How many varsity uniforms can you think of that include a skirt? The McGill Women’s field hockey team looked like preppy school girls in plaid this weekend when they hosted the 18th Annual McGill Invitational Toumamentat Molson Stadium. But don’t let the skirts fool you; these ladies may look cute, but they’re playing a tough sport and are in great shape. Field hockey is a fast, physical game played on a 100 by 60 patch of Astroturf. It has a seventy min ute running clock, with no time outs, and only a 5 to 7 minute break at the half. Thus the players must be in astounding physical condi tion as once you come off the field, youcan’tgetbackon, therefore the three substitions that are allowed must be used wisely. There are eleven players trying
at the end due to some great goal tending by McGill’s Cathy Fusk. “There were some soft shots at the beginning”, she said, “ but the team played a good second half’. Fusk, like eight of her teammates, is a first-year rookie who puts in six hours a week, plus training and tournaments like this one, to play hockey for McGill. Manitoba has only two fresh men, an experienced team with seven provincial players. McGill showed them a tight defence in their match on Saturday, but were undone by penalty shots. Manitoba scored on a slapshot off a penalty in the first half, only to have another blocked by sweeper Kate Hathom. The second Mani toba point was racked up early in the final half, again off a penalty shot Two more penalties, how ever, were saved on gutsy plays by defenceman Mami Heed and goal M artlet K elly S ymons i s chased as she brings the ball upfield I nvitationnal T ournament this past S aturday and S unday

Penalties in clude using the rounded side of the hockey stick, touching the ball with your feet or legs (gymnastics re quired to avoid that o n e), and for the goalie, batting or throwing the ball. “People generally don’t under stand the difficulty involved” said head coach Laura Dobbs. The tounament showcased some difficult teams, including Toronto, Manitoba, Queen’s, Carleton, Guelph and Dartmouth. Toronto, for example, was the number one team in the nation last year, and has 10 veteran players, plus the national team goalie. Even without their goalkeeper for the tournament, they won all their matches handily .usually with point spreads like 9-0 (Queen’s) and 5-0 (McGill). Toronto confined the Martlets to their own half for the first 35 minutes, scoring three goals. The McGill women fired it up for the second half though, playing better defense and organizing a tougher offense. Toronto still managed to score twice, but were denied a few
keeper Katie FasoldL The Martlets could not get the ball past their own fifty-yard line, but kept the goals against to a minimum, losing 2-0. Referring to the kinks in the team, head coach Laura Dobbs com mented that the ladies “have a long way to go, and we have to work on some basics”, but was pleased that “there were some good moments, considering the girls haven’tplayed together before”, and that unlike Toronto and Manitoba, they don’t practice year round. There were plenty of good moments in McGill’s final game against Queen’s. The offence was in fine form, and in the half, Queen’s never got the ball past the Martlet’s forty-yard line. McGill was led by Michelle Banham, a member of the Québec team at the Canada Summer Games, who sees “a lot of potential” for her team. Also strong were Anik Gagnon, another member of the Québec team, and Jennifer Henson. But McGill remained scoreless at the half. Queen’s came back in the secco n tin u ed on page 18.

o.
While not a particularly successful tournament for the team, it gave them a chance to play together, try out some different posi tions, systems, and generally gain some much needed experi ence. The Martlet’s new system (4 offence, 2 links, 3 halfbacks and 1 sweeper) is an alternative experiment to the traditional 53-2 arrangement Assistant coach Kathryn Abbott is optimistic. Commenting “Compared to where we were last year at this time, we are way ahead. There’s plenty of potential freshmen with good, solid playing experience, and seven returning players.” She predicts McGill will eventually gain one of the two top spots in Canada for field hockey. This is not undue optimism. The team won their division last year and finished sixth overall inthecountry. Sodon’tlet the uniforms fool you. These Martlets are serious contenders.
Can you name a sporting event that’s played in Canada and can truly be described as uniquely Canadian (thats Uniquely with a capital U)? If someone accosted you at the comer of Peel street and St. Cath erine and happened to broach the question, have you ever consid ered what your answer might be? It is just this query that on many an occasion some young, slightly punch drunk American has posed
of yours truly, however with some sheepishness I have never been armed with a proper retort,... that is until now. Before spilling the beans let me tell you of the quest that has plagued my soul, and caused much embar rassment not only to me but also to my fellow sports minded Canadi ans. Approximately fourteen years of my time has been invested in search of a sure fire comeback to this most puzzling question. Thousands have been surveyed and interrogated, including illustrious Canadians like Pierre Berton, David Suzuki, and the most famous, Dave ‘the Tiger’ Williams have been grilled to no avail. A number of sporting events have made the uniquely Canadian list but I could never console myself that YES, this was the one. An obvious though novice response is hockey, the Stanley Cup playoffs, but lately hockey has become too international (who ever heard of a Canadian with the last name of Naslund or Skriko, Don Cherry is right).

...sports pit continued from page 18 the absolute unloopholed answer but its the closest game we Canadi ans have that can truly be consid ered one hundred percent Cana dian content. This revelation came last Satur day as I watched the McGill Redmen football team battle it out with Carleton University. The atmosphere possessed all the trappings of a Saturday after noon picnic at Tommy Hunter’s home. Most of the guests (crowd) were comprised of parents, girl friends, a few old high school teach ers. Oh sure toss in a big city re porter, a few face painted alumni here and there. All in all a real down home Canadian feel. The location of the game? Well
it wasn’t the Rose Bowl. You probably wouldn’t fill half of one section of the Rose Bowl with this crowd. Nope, the place resembled something a Saskatchewan farmer might build to show and sell prized cattle. Wooden stands on both sides, one canteen run by the lo cals, and four Porto toilets to ease the pain. The game? Twelve men, rouges, a field the size of the Canadian shield, English AND French play ers, throw in a couple of players from exotic locales like New Zea land and Hungary and how much more Canadian does it get? Who won? Who cares. When you’ve just discovered the Cana dian holy grail who stps to ask such petty questions.
