DO YOU NEED OFFICE SPACE IN THE UNION? (S ubm issions w ill be received from A p ril 9th u ntil 4:30p.m ., A p ril 27th, 1990

Any student group on campus may request office space in the University Centre provided the group has been in operation since January 1st, 1990. According to Council policy adopted Septem ber 13th, 1978, the same groups ineligible to receive Students' Society funds are also not eligible to be given office space in the University Centre. Please note the following: -Groups with office space in 1989/90 will be given preference. -The Joint M anagem ent Committee will review all space requests and, at its discretion, will decide which groups assigned space will have to share offices.

Due to the extremely high demand for office space in the University Centre, it would be highly appreciated if groups, which do not absolutely need office space, refrain from requesting an office. In the letter of application for office space, please include any comments or recommendations relating to the physical condition of the club offices, the adequacy of the furniture and accessories and any improvements that should be made. NOTE There is no specific request form for office space. Requests, with justifications, should be typed and addressed to the Joint Management Committee. They should be deliv ered or mailed to: Leslie Copeland, Operations Secretary, Students' Society General Office, Room 105, 3480 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9, lO LATER THAN 4:30 P .M ., FRIDAY, APRIL 27TH, 1990.

I want to use my two years of experience in student politics in the faculty of Management to get behind the projects bound to improve student life at McGill and push them through: • wise and sensible allocation of the Capital Reserve Fund; • insuring adequate funding for groups; • ‘Project Sadies’: completing product-line and service; • getting our Food and Beverage contract into great shape; • making your money work efficiently for you.

The Students’ Society is more than simply the Union of All Faculties and School Societies. It is the tie that binds all McGill students regardless of their differences. .It operates most of the cafeterias on campus, Gert’s and Sadie’s, its officers and councilors lobby both the administration and the provincial and federal governments on your behalf. The Students’ Society is also potential. It could operate a Mac lab, actually inform its members of events, and become a greater political force at McGill and in Quebec. What it needs is leadership and priorities. As President, I will provide both of these.

SSM U RESENTATIVE TO SEN A TE CANDIDATES Arts Senator Jean h y Shim Hi! Salut!Je m'appell Jeanhy Shim(U2-BAPolitical Science) et pendant les dernières deux années, j’habitaisaux résidences de McGill (McConnell Hall) oùj’étais très active. Thisyear Iwas McConnell Hall President, yearbook co-editor, and member of the Inter- and UniversityResidence Councils. Currently Iserve on the McConnell Hall Floorfellowand Director Selection Commit tees. Quandjen’assistepasauxconseils ouorganizedes parties,jejoueaux practique avec le dub d’Aikido de McGill. Through all my experience at McGill (not tomentionhighschool), Ihave become an organized, dynamic, well-informed, sensitive and enthusiastic leader.

S c ie n c e Sen ator John D. Y antsulis

M anagem ent Senator Ted K arkavitsas 1)ActivememberofAIESECMcGill (Corporate Relations). 2) Co-captain of last place Management winter carnival team (???) 3) Always looking for a challenge. 4) Love to hear fromyou. Anytime.

hey you, i know about you kindl it Just happens so that i am you kind Don't have to worry since my name isn't ike so ill trY to stop the hike 'cause you don't want to buy e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n! it isn't recreation. students have rights, but you don't need Fightsl just shOw that you're Right and tham Shed some light., all you concErns are on my agenda that's why they'll be a lot of addenda a fiNal note to this beAtll if you votE for me we won't be bead just make a bet 'n' then ELECT JOHN D. YANTSULIS FOR SCIENCE REP. SENATEIII

Arts Senator Lina Saigol The tuition increase does not guarantee that the quality of education will be improved. If elected as ArtsSenator, however, Iwill demand that the follow ing changes be made: 1) The money be put intostudent advising 2) libraries be upgraded, with extended hours 3) reduce class size and employ more TA’s 4) create an efficient administration to deal solelywith loans and bursaries 5) recognize and serve part-time students 6) uniteandfundtheArtsdepartment sothat morepublications suchas “The Pillar" be distributed

S c ie n c e Senator David J. F elsen While this is the first elected office I am seeking at McGill, Ibringwithmemanyorganizationalskillswhich have been acquired throughinvolvement withvarious campus groups. One of my primary concerns is to ensure greater student input into the issues of both accessibleeducation andqualityeducation. Ifelected _____________ I intend to voice students' concerns with clarity and with conviction. The importance of a strong Faculty of Science cannot be disputed. Let me main tain this byserving its members responsively and assertively.

M anagem ent Senator Cindy Rabinovitch My name is Cindy Rabinovitch and Iam running for man agement representative tosenate. As an activemember of the management student body, I am a member of the marketing club, having been on the marketing luncheon committee and presently being taste test coordinator. Fur ther, Iwas an active participant in management welcome week, having planned the first pub crawl of the year. I believe that it is important for management students to have strong and effective representation on senate, and ifelected, Ipromise to be accessible and attentive totheconcerns ofall managementstudents. Ifyouwant a stronglinktosenate vote Cindy!

Arts Senator P eter lannuzzi Now, whywould Iseek to become Arts Senator? Is it to pass some time or is it because Iamjust bored with mylife? Maybe it's because Ihave some expe rience in representation and business? Why would I want to put endless amount of hours and effort to attend meetings after a strenuous day ofclasses? Whyshould Icompel myself tomanage u an academic lifealong with the position of Arts Senator? The answer is very simple: because ICARE. I care about ensuring that the university meets your requirements. I care about adequatelyrepresentingyouandyourwishesbecause Ifeel it’s impor tant.

S c ie n c e Sen ator Sujit Choudhry Next year needs to be a year of action for student government Action to ensure that our increased tui tionfees improve thequalityof oureducation, notjust pay off McGill’s debt Action to set up a counselling service wherejunior science students can get advice fromthoseinhigheryears. Actiontoclarifythe“Casual Policy", toguarantee and toincreasecampus employ ment opportunities for students. Ihave theexperienceandcommitment toservesciencestudents well. Iaskfor your support.

Education Senator Anik Low As a first year student ineducation withthree years ahead ( . ofme, Ihavedevelopeda serious interest inthefutureofmy faculty. This year at McGill Ihave found that the concerns of this faculty and its stance on various issues are not properly voiced within the university, and I would like to change that. As a secondaryeducation student majoringin Economics and English, I am exposed to three different areas; education, arts and social science. Ibelieve that this diversity gives me the ability to adequately represent the variety of students found in the faculty of education.

Arts Senator Alex Johnston I’ma first year Arts student studying History and Mandarin Chinese. I'm very motivated and inter ested instudent issues and academic standards at McGill. Inthe nextyear, I’dlikethe Arts Facultytobe more aware and involved in the decisions that are being made on Senate. I’d like to see financial aid increased and insure that our loans and bursaries programis efficient and goes to the students that need it. Ifeel that Icould represent the interests of the Arts Faculty on Senate, as I have been the student representative on the Board ofAlumnaeof myhigh school, dealing with student affairs, since graduating.

M edicine Sen ator Rajesh Khanna Ifmoststudents inHealthSciencefacultiesandsu were asked about the Senate, their answers WOUlu ^ probably indicate unfamiliarity with this institution. I want tobeMEDstudent senatortobeyourvoiceinthis important body. My reasons and goals are two fold. Foremost I want to disseminate information to in crease your awareness about what actually happens in the Senate by providing summaries of Senate meetings, which will be available in the Tablet Second I want to ensure that our needs are voiced regarding such matters as theproposed tuitionfee hike, the proposed closure of the Nursing/Social Work library. Previous experience includes having been Physiologyrepresentative toPost Graduate Student Society.

Education Sen ator Andrea Milman As a student of education Ibelieve Iam particularly suited tothetaskofbeinga senator. The positionwill allowme not onlytoact asa conduitfortheviewsandcontributionswhich myfellowstudents wiilwish tomake, butwill also afford me a good opportunity to gain valuable insight intothe admin istrative side of higher education. Ibelieve Ishall bring a strong commitment to the task and will undertake unflinch ingly to uphold McGill’s high academic standards. It will, Iam sure give me great satisfaction to be able to assert my convictions and to represent my faculty inthe forumof the Senate.

Law Sen ator a Jordan Waxman Iam a second year student in the National Prof O U (Common LawStream), currentlyserving as Athletic?^ Coordinator on the LawSchool Association Council. * Since 19841have been an active member of McGill Community; in intramural and varsity sports - Swim Team 1984-87; Team Captain '85-87 - and in other extra-curricular activities -Daily, Tribune, OldMcGill 1984-87; Editor-in-Chief 86-87.1received my B.A. inHumanistic Studies in 1986. Through participating in intrafaculty politics, I am prepared and eager to represent Lawstudents and the entire student body on Senate.

Engineering Sen ator Gino Brancatelli ’A As engineering representative to Senate I hope to e that the students’ interests are brought forward and . simply ignored. The students I represent will always be ± aware of important issues that concern them. Iaman active member of the Engineering Undergraduate Society, having performed several official duties. I have always served well on the E.U.S. council and would continue to do so in Sl

Arts Sen ator Don McGowan Asenator should be accessible. And, ifelected, Iwill be. I'll keep Anoffice where I’llsit and answer my Constituents - that’s you, the students in The Faculty of Arts. My platformis As simple as it gets - 1want to take iThose course withthe black dots beside them. Let’s spend some cash to get those classes back. For that, Ineed some help; to be precise, Your vote. So ifyou care at all about Your education at McGill, then please |Just cast your vote where it will do some good. For Don McGowan as your senator.________

BY KIM FARLEY

Sandy Wilson’s frothy musical The Boyfriend is set on the French Riviera in the 1920’s, the wellspring of European frivolity in a decade awash with superficial values. It revolves around a girl’s boarding school, where Britian’s future socialites have their edges rubbed off and their minds hung out to dry under the attentive smirks of their suitors. Sur la plage, every one can Charleston. No one can think.

d r o w n s s u r la p la g e

The actors and actresses of James McGill Productions seem aware of the flakiness of the tongue-in-cheek script, but they can’t seem to do anything with it. Director Penel ope Cookson arranges the girls as one undifferentiated mass, continu ally squealing. Press them, they squeal. Pique them, they squeal. Take away everything in life they love and shove them in a gutter, they will defy you and squeal. There is definitely potential humour here, but the actresses don ’t provide quite enough volume or

energy to carry it off. Their matesin-training are a bit too stiff to make adequate dance partners, although by the end it appears they’ll do as husbands.

Sur la plage, eve ryone can C har leston. N o one can think. The play concludes with an obnoxious love-in in which every one gets married off within the appropriate class. (By saying this I am giving away nothing, if you think about it). All’s well that ends well, and when the entire cast raises its voice in song it is one of thd few times the lyrics can be heard all evening. Volume, or the lack of it,

is the stumbling block for the en tire production. A musical in which the audience cannot hear the songs and the singers cannot hear their orchestra is destined for trouble. Exceptions in the projection department are Marc Nantel and Nathalie Beaudoin in the lead roles of Polly and Tony. Polly, sweetest of the sweet young ladies, falls in goopy love with Tony, who is apparently just a lowly messenger boy. Because Polly is such a genu inely nice person, Tony’s social status is of no importance to her. The two gush sloppy numbers like “I Could be Happy with You” and dream of a poverty stricken life in “A Room in Bloomsbury” (“He: I’ll read a book. She: I’ll cook. Together: In our dear little room in...”). They manage well, keep ing clear voices and fairly straight faces. Beaudoin gives the best

performance in the show, since she seems to be the only one aware that she should be playing a caricature instead of a person. She exudes syrup. Her halo is immovable. Unfortunately, few of the other cast members understand their characters as well. Gwen Millar as the slinky/stem Madame Dubon net, headmistress of the school, holds a metre-long cigarette holder and is fond of Ginger-ish poses, but doesn’t play up to the potential of the character. Similarly, Daniel Giverin as Polly’s stiff father lets opportunities for humour slide by. This production ofThe Boyfriend needs a smaller venue in which the players can be heard, and a bit more courage to go for broke. What is there is entertaining, but only because Sandy Wilson’s script has done most of the work already.

Martlets' season over after one point loss to Laval

L a v a l’s C h a n ta l D enis boxes out M a rtle ts J an e Ross ( 14) a n d K eva G lynn (8). D enis h it f o r 14 points, leading L a v a l to a 6 0-59 upset o f M c G ill BY IAN SIROTA

If you are a basketball fan, then you should have gone to the McGill Martlets-Laval Rouge et Or game last Thursday night at the Currie Gym; you could have seen two games for the price of one. McGill won the first game (half) 35-31 and controlled the tempo. Laval won the second 29-24 as the Mar tlets went ice cold from the field, shooting only 29%. The two half total was 60-59 in favor of the Laval squad, who earned a trip to the Québec finals against Bishop’s at Lennoxville on Saturday. The first half belonged to three players; 6-3 forward Tracey Hayman and guard Tina Fasone for

McGill and Chantal Denis for Laval. Hayman had 15 points, including a seven of seven per formance from the foul line. Fasone had 14 points, shooting a sizzling 87.5% from the field (seven of eight shots). For the gritty Rouge et Or, 14 points from Chantal Denis kept the score close. The half ended with McGillplaying tough defence, and this helped the Martlets to a 7Orun. The lead was extended to 47-40 early in the second half, and McGill looked to be cruising to a solid win. That was as good as it got, though. The Martlets would score only 12 points the rest of the way, while Laval would pour in 20. Tina Fasone, who seemingly couldn’t

miss in the first half, suddenly lost her touch, though she would finish the game with 22 points. The fourth-year veteran, who has indi cated she will return to McGill for a second degree next year, gave all she could, but it wasn’t meant to be, as she fouled out of the game with nine seconds remaining. Tracey Hayman, whose play in side had been pivotal in opening up the outside shots for her team mates, would only score three after the intermission. That let the scor ing load fall onto rookie sensation Debby Morse, who hit a threepoint bomb to pull McGill to one point as time ran out. She had 11 points for the day. Laval got all the help they needed

from guard Sonia Ritchie, who calmly hit four consecutive free throws down the stretch, as McGill was desperately forced to commit numerous fouls to stop the clock. Ritchie ended the game with 13 points. Martlets coach Chris Hunter commented after the game that “we couldn’t hit our shots down the stretch....we pressed. It’s some thing that happened too often this year. ” The loss marks a disappoint ing end to the season for the Mar tlets, who were favored coming into the game against a Laval squad that had won only four of twelve games this season. The Martlets finish the season with a 6-7 confer ence record, but four of those losses

were by a single point. The team can look forward to next year, as many of the team’s younger play ers will have gained that extra measure of maturity. In the end, though, the Laval Rouge et Or hit their key shots and while the Mar tlets could only stare at the ceiling in their frustration and wonder why. Double Dribbles- Three McGill Martlet players named to Quebec University Basketball League allstar team. Tina Fasone was named to the first team for the second year in a row. Teammates Jane Ross and Debbie Morse were named to the second team. Morse, of Ot tawa, was also named as the league’s Rookie of the Year.

an exercise class. It is a small soci ety with very distinct levels and subcultures. At the pinnacle are the instruc tors. The two best are Zoe Dafniotis and Jodi Quint. Dafniotis’ class is a 60 minute love-in. Though not exhausting, Dafniotis will get the maximum out of you through her cajoling and encouragement. Ever the entertainer and charmer, she will induce hard work by imploring everyone to have fun and smile. You know you are good at aero bics if Dafniotis calls you up to do the hand clapping routine with her. Jodi Quint’s style is much dif ferent. Whereas Dafniotis gets positive results with kid gloves,

Quint comes to Total Workout, her boxing gloves in tow. She is the punisher, the Mike Tyson of aero bics. Quint’s classes have an air of Stalag 13 brutality. If you are capable of making it through her classes without feel ing extremely tired then you are either in superb shape or deluding yourself. Beneath the instructors there are three distinct social classes. You are either a “Junkie”, an “Up and Comer”, or a “Jerry Lewis.” Total Workout junkies are relig ious attenders. They are the people who schedule classes around their workout. Most junkies will stand near the stage so as to get the best view and hear the movements being called out. The second level are the “up and

comers.” These are people who have caught onto the routines but don’t come often enough to per fect them. The final class of Total Workout people are the Jerry Lewises. They are instantlyrecognizeableby their unintentional imitations of the nutty professor. It is very likely that they are attending for the very first time. Everyone can empathize with this group as we have all been there. Many a time I have intro duced myself to someone by giv ing them a mouthful of my elbow. The main misconception about Total Workout and aerobics in general is that its purely a woman ’s activity. This is false. Although the ratio of women to men is high, nevertheless, in the three years I have attended, the

number of men has increased dra matically. Total Workout is also very much a hall of socialization, a place to meet and make friends. Egos tend to disintegrate rapidly, as there is nothing more humbling than exer cizing and dancing in a lighted room with 250 other people. The Total Workout program makes an excellent contribution to McGill life. The people involved are very helpful, highly qualified, and top calibre. From Marla Gold to Eyal Baruch, the instuctors, and to Christine who runs the music, it’s a top quality operation. I recommend that anyone want ing to get in shape, meet nice people, and maybe become a junkie like myself, should attend Total Workout.
