Engineering Com m ittee to fight faculty gender gap RY DEBORAH n R R O R lH ROSENBERG R ncvN nii'D r! BY
Faced with few female profes sors and a disproportionately low number of female undergraduate students, Engineering Dean Pierre Belanger last week announced the formation of a Faculty Committee on Women in Engineering. The committee intends to dis cover reasons for the lack of fe male enrollment in engineering, make women more comfortable in the faculty, and encourage women in high school and CEGEP to en roll in the Engineering faculty. The committee consists of eight members - six of whom are women. The staff is represented on the Committee by Dean Belanger, Professor Adler of Electrical Engi neering, Professor Wolfe of Urban Planning, andProfessorWhitesides of Computer Science. Professor Whitesides explains that while Computer Science and Urban Plan ning are administratively within the Faculty of Engineering, they are often considered to be fully separate disciplines. “In the main engineering fields civil, mechanical, chemical or elec trical - there is not a single female professor,” she said. Students will be represented by
il, ■■l ■ a 1 . 1 two female graduate students and two female undergraduates. Jo sephine Ko, one of the two under graduates on the committee, is trying to convince the Dean to have more undergraduate representa tion. Only 18% of McGill’s engineer ing undergraduates are women. An even smaller per cent continue on for Masters and PhD programmes. Although this percentage lags far behind most faculties on campus, it is actually one of the highest ratios for engineering departments in Canada. Dean Belanger hopes that women already studying or work ing in engineering will convince younger women to enter the fac ulty.

somethingjust to make it look good. Something will be done if he forms a committee,” Brodt said. Some female engineering stu dents at McGill hope Brodt is right
“Men are surprised when I say I want to be a mechanical engineer (with only four per cent female representation). They tell me you need brains to be a mechanical or
electrical engineer, and tell me a girl’s place is in the arts,” said one woman. “The atmosphere is mainly for guys,” she said.

COUNCIL PREPARES TO DISCUSS REFERENDUM MO The music referendum attracted Next week’s Engineering UnTIONS SSMU councillors will decide next week whether to ask students to join the Fédération des Etudiants du Québec in a referendum later this month. The referendum question debate, scheduled for council’s October 24 meetng, will also decide whether to ask referendum questions on allowing part-time students to run for SSMU positions and increasing graduate representation on council. The judicial board overturned a similar resolution increasing graduate representation passed by refrendum last year. Referendum period this semester is November 14 and 15.

dergraduate Society (EUS) refer endum is also a response to faculty needs. Engineering Senator Cyril Jay-Rayon explained that the EUS executive thought the increase in his society’s fee was conceived as a “preventative measure” against the deterioration of students serv ices and as a funding source for cafeteria renovations and a new photocopying center. “Raising our fees now is a good idea,” Jay-Rayon said. EUS fees were last raised three years ago, when a $1 increase was levied. The pro ceeds were ear marked for the p rovince-w id e engineering asso ciation COFIQ. The last increase prior to that was six years ago. The Education Undergraduate Society will also consider a fee-in crease referendum at its council meeting this week. Karla MacDonald, VP External of the Society, said the faculty’s student council only began dis cussing a possible fee increase this year. “Some informal surveys show that most members of our society seem in favour of the increase,” she said.
U DE M STUDENT SOCIETY TO REPLACE LOST EXECS Université de Montréal’s student society was to elect eight new executives at a special meeting last night after its entire leadership resigned or was fired last week. Four of the society’s seven leaders resigned last Wednesday over the issue of executive solidarity’ which requires executives to present a common front during council debate. Councillors then dismissed the other three executive members. One executive position was unfilled last week. COURSE VERIFICATION PERIOD Dawson Hall has invited students to verify their course selections this week. No refreshments or coffee will be served.

Coping w ith a rough M onday You just simply have to love Mondays, and this one started off like the rest. I slept through my alarm, my newspaper was stolen, and the light in my room blew up. There are just some things that should not be attempted before a cup of coffee. Then just to make sure my morning was getting off to a re ally good startone of your friendly SSMU executives came down to the T rib u n e 's office and told me that his full page comment wouldn’t be ready until Wednes day, I thought it was about time 1 went and got a coffee. Now normally having some body cancel a story, or a com ment, is not that big of a deal. In the newspaper business you actu ally come to expect it So why am l making such a big deal about it? Because of the tim ing of the thing. Last Friday, I received an ur gent call telling me that there was a comment that absolutely had to be run this week. The problem arose because in an effort to find space for the comment several
people wete told that they could not write their editorials, or com ments. Thus, when on Monday morning there turns out to be no comment from the powers that be upstairs, except for “sorry”, we are left with a gaping hole to fill Afthispointyoumightbe think ing, so what? Charlie is just upset at the SSMU for not coming through when they said they would. And in a sense I am. But more to the point, it is an example of how many things are started at McGill and for some reason never fully implemented, or ever fin ished. This is just the tip of the unfin ished iceberg. Take Moyse Hall; construction was supposed to be finished forNovemberof lastyear. and now it is predicted that it m ight be finished this spring. Now that my coffee is almost finished and before I go back to the rest of what would appear to be a miserable day, 1 should try and wrap this thing up, and maybe even come to a point But no, that would be something that just doesn’t happen here, or at least not very often, __________ Charlie Quinn
Left Foot First On Saturday there was a march that took place simultaneously in cities across Canada, including Montréal. It was an attempt to mobilize citizens who support reproductive choice. The protest was badly organized, but still, about 1250 people showed up to chant and let their views be heard. Un fortunately, of the two and a half million people who live in greater Montréal, the people who actively support this majority position were drawn once again from the mar gins of society. Don’t get me wrong, I am one of the marginal characters who shows up at these events. You will see me, if you look, tomorrow at 17h30 at the Union Building protesting tuition fee increases. There I will be, clapping, clutching a banner and stumbling through chants in French. Then, you can be equally assured of finding me marching for peace and disarmament two Sundays from now (Parc Lafon taine at 12h30). So long as I draw breath I will march to keep some one from imposing laws on my body or on what I read or watch. The point of all this is not to sound self righteous, for now I will make a second admission: I think most of these protests are grossly inef

fective. A friend, when I asked if he’d listened to the news to hear how many people showed up across the country for the pro-choice march, said no. Instead, he’d sat listening to the early action on the stock market this Monday, because “that’s what really makes a differ ence.” If the Left, or what remains of it, is to have any effect, they are going to have to adopt some of the tools of their targets. Nobody likes bu reaucracy, but without some sem blance of organization and plan ning, major obstacles are not going to fall. It is hard to accept the lack of spontaneity enforced by those methods but without them we are going to remain in our present stalled position. The Left is going to have to compromise somewhat on methodology, and going to have to forgive itself for doing so. A protest must only be the culmina tion of efforts to build a broadbased coalition. Let us put off the next march until there are signs that there is a new constituency out there- the majority. Kelly G allagher-M ackay
T apes rig h t o n ta rg e t W e are dism ayed at the constant stream o f abuse that arises in response to the Disneyland Tapes. Steve G old berg, in his letter to the Editor o f O cto ber 1 1th, calls Horw itz’s articles “poi son pen,” unrepresentative o f “culture, hum anity, enlightenm ent and a devel oped talent.” W e beg to differ. H orw itz’s brand o f humour is witty, impersonal and fully synchronized with 1 9 8 0 ’s culture. W e wonder how G old berg can fail to notice the m ajor trends in humour that are evident in M onty Python, David Letterm an, Hunter S. Thom pson, David Lynch, several co m ic strip creators and countless oth ers. H orw itz’ s “un disciplined” im agination is no t something to be rebuked but admired. N ot only is G old b erg ’s rigid criteria for humour anti quated but his assertion that the hu m ourist m ust suffer for his/her art is m ere abstraction. W hat, M r. Goldberg, is the smithy o f your soul? W e suspect liberal fascism . Firstly, there is plenty o f space in w hich G oldberg’s “talented satirists” can present their efforts; he is w el co m e to subm it his entries to the pub lication o f his ch oice. Secondly, Horw itz is not “snotty,” a word applicable to those who cannot accept, let alone appreciate, other form s o f humour. Thirdly, Horwitz does not “cu t up everything in sight.” He takes an alter nate perspective on life and brings situations to the fore in a m anner quite amusing to som e. Thum bs up for the Disneyland T ap es - we like its style and we know w e are not alone in our application.

McGill dental students seek patients for clinic BY SHAUN FRY Students and staff at the Faculty of Dentistry who run an inexpen sive dental clinic say they want more students to make use of their service. The faculty’s reduced - price clinic has been operating since 1957, and is open to virtually any one. Students say the service is as good as the treatment offered by professional dentists at much higher prices. The clinic is located on the third floor of the Montréal General Hospital Student clinicians work under the strict supervision of McGill dentristry staff - reputed to be among the best in Canada - and offer their services for approxi mately 35% of the cost a private dentist might charge. Third year McGill dentistry stu dent Marco Caminiti works at the clinic, and said, “The treatment of fered is of very high quality.” “Treatment will almost defi nitely be as good as anywhere else, and maybe better,” he said. Becoming a patient at the clinic is a relatively simple procedure.
After three appointments for check ups, involving simple radiography and oral inspection, most patients are enlisted in a “patient pool”, and within a short time a student is assigned to them.
Patients at the clinic can then take advantage of a range of stan dard services, including orthodonture and 24-hour emergency serv ice. Each stage of dental-work is
carefully monitored by profession als who ensure the the students’ work is without fault and of a very high standard. Thus, patients are looked after by several profession als and a student. The cost amounts

course Allen playing his angst rid den ‘X ’ and Farrow doing her qui etly sensual *Y\ All the characters are embroiled in the familiar mish mash of love, jealousy, greed, temp tation, pain... Wait a minute. The usual ? When did Woody Allen get so morbid? There is literally no optimism in this movie. But as pessimistic world views go, C rim es a n d M isd em ea n o u rs is very well turned out. It follows two story lines, one light (misdemeanours), the other grisly (crimes). All humans are destined to commit one or the other, Woody’s voice of doom tells us. The heavier story-line watches a man get lost in guilt after he bumps off his mistress (Anjelica Huston, who does a great portrayal of a hysterical woman) because she had threatened to disclose the affair to his wife. I say ‘watch’ because Allen deliberately tries to alienate us from that whole story line. He even names his anti-hero “Judah?’ so we won’t miss the point that this is a biblical allegory. Just in case the point wasn’talready tooobvious, he throws in a sweet rabbi named Ben (Sam Waterson) to counsel Judah. Allen has rarely shoved the arche types at us so aggressively, and'the technique gets to be a bit much by the end of the movie. Alongside moral decline, there is “real life”, featuring Woody and Mia and Alan Alda (in a great perform ance as a cocky film producer who keeps sticking his big foot in the middle of their romance). This is the plot line we see ourselves in more clearly, which proves that Allen hasn’t given up totally on the human race. There’sa problem with misde meanour-land, though: everyone is miserable. 1 1 is New York where you go to find more endearing screwed up folks than you can handle. Woody plays a down-onhis-luck documentary maker who has been commissioned to film Alda’s life story. As the ultimate wind-bag, a silly capitalist who sees himself as an American Hero and wants a Barbara Walters-like seg ment to affirm that fact, Alda is a hoot. Fortunate, because he is the only comic relief in the movie. Allen is sporadically funny, but his desperation is more apparent than usual here, and it makes the viewer terribly uncomfortable. His charac ter wants to leave his sour wife for good friend Mia, a film producer who takes his work seriously and doesn’t nag him to sell out. This is the tie-in with the other story line, though Allen never gets to consum mate his affair as Judah does. The bleakness comes in when Allen ends up miserable and lonely, while Ju dah the sinner goes on his merry way after a little atonement. The disillusionment at the core of the movie is unsettling, especially coming from this source. If audi ences can’t count on Woody Allen

Over the summer, fall and winter of 1988, the biggest media hype in rock music was unquestionably the “women in rock” trend. Sparked by the debuts of musicians like Tracy Chapman and Toni Childs, and the resurgence of musicians like Patti Smith, the trend became a barrage of journalistic overkill. Women had always been re cording good rock music: the ‘trend’ startedbecauseonly now were journalists paying atten tion to them. Once the trend was no longer hot, things re turned to the way they were: the most attention is paid to male musicians, and women sing dance music. Still, certain palpable bene fits of 1988’s hype remain in 1989. After witnessing high sales for albums that frequently tend to be unorthodox, the rec ord companies are now more willing to sign or promote women who had not, until now, received the attention they de served. A look at some of the albums currently in release by these women shows that they are using rock music, tradition ally the territory of cars’n’babes, to tell real stories, about impor tant issues. When it comes to women’s rock, nationalists can rejoice: it is Canadians who are supplying many of the strongest new voices. Toronto has given us Jane Siberry, whose new album, B o u n d B y the B eauty, may be her breakthrough to suc cess. Rather than generalize about‘big’ issues,Siberrykeeps her songs intimate, discovering rules of life by observing her own life. Also from Toronto is Mary M argaret O’Hara, whose M iss A m erica is a study in weird beauty. From the East coast, Halifax’s Sarah McLachlan opts for an almost classical delicacy on her debut,

O f course, for sheer numbers the Americans have us beat. Women in the American rock world are toying with genres, introducing their own
freshness to musical areas that occasionally seem exhausted. In folk, there are P h ran c and Two Nice G irls, who use comedy and satire to provide the main stream with lesbian voices it might otherwise (to its own dis advantage) shun. In dance music, M adonna has shown that she is the master o f her own im age, and not some marketing pawn - her videos make no sense anymore, but at least they’re h ers. Country music has been enlivened by the compassion and intelligence o f M a ry Chapin C a rp e n te r and N anci Griffith, whose Storm s album is one o f the year’s best. Rap is very much a male stronghold, butnewcomerslikeQueen L atifah are showing the guys who’s rea lly down. In mainstream rock, women make their own rules. Melissa E th erid ge scored big with her debut, and her second album B ra v e a n d C razy is expected to do equally as well. Rickie Lee Jo n e s ’s F ly in g C ow boys, her first album in five years, is a godsend - alternatively lonely and ecstatic, it is a highly imagi native woik. On the urban front, C oncrete Blonde bring true grit gjoth eir album F r e e . Also well worth a listen is Sam Phillips, whose T h e In d escrib a b le Wow showcases her unique voice on ten songs about loss and long ing, i f O f course, it is impossible to categorize the music thesepromising and influential women are leaking; their styles and mes sages are diverse, an ample dem on stration o f the fact that ‘women’s m usic’ has nothing to do with some wrongheaded identification o f gender with style or subject. A common factor, however, is that the women making their presence felt in music today are defining their own ground rules, using whatever style suits them and discussing issues that are close to them, regardless o f fashion. There are a lot o f women in rock now, but let us look at them, not as part o f a trend - but as part of a change.
It is a classic scene from high school sex education: millions of sperm cells, in a wild frenzy, coarse down the urethral tract, each hoping and competing to become the male half of the fertilized embryo. This time, though, we don’t just watch the successful sperm, we listen to i t So opens L o o k W ho’s Talking, Tri-Star Picture’s latest twist on the conventional comedy, starring John Travolta, Kirstie Alley...and the voice o f Bruce Willis, as the embryo and then precocious baby Mikey. Though the movie manages to stay original, it had to overcome a fairly run-of-the mill plot. Mollie (Alley) is impregnanted by a married man who goes through a “selfish phase” and deserts her. Travolta plays a cab driver who drives Mollie to the hospital, then helps her through labour. Voila, romance, and a little too cute to take. In spite o f the aw shucks love story, however, the movie stays to tally hilarious. Director and writer
Amy Heckerling lets us inside all the characters’ thoughts,and the dif ference between what they are think ing and the way they act makes for great irony. Best of all is Willis, showing us what babies really think of all these adults cooing stupidly in their faces. But the best reason to see this fdm is to witness the rehabilitation of John Travolta. Gone are the sexu ally active days o f polyester body suits; this is the age of Joe Sensi tive, and Travolta is the consum mate supportive man. Heckerling has her tongue in her cheek when making Travolta so gosh dam per fect, and the result is a hilarious portrait o f the ‘ new man ’ at his most confused. The script is sly and witty, able to make you laugh without any giant leap of intellectual effort. This is where it succeeds where other fluffy comedies fail, and why it’s worth seeing.

Dean Rea: things appear optimistic B Y L IS A H A RR ISO N
In an era that finds art institu tions across Canada strapped for money, the Faculty of Music at McGill is finally beginning to re cover from severe underfunding. According to Chris Rea, the Dean of Music since 1986, “things ap pear more optimistic than they have in a long time.” Budget cuts in the 70’s and early 80’s caused a decline in permanent staff, forcing a subsequent increase in the hiring of cheaper and more flexible part-time staff. As a result of this policy, the Faculty has only 45 full-time and 110 part-time employees. In the meantime, the reputation of the Faculty had filtered to areas outside of Montreal, and en rollment is on the rise. Classrooms are increasingly overcrowded, and very little study or practice space is available in the Strathcona Build ing. Dean Rea claims that the “big gest boost” to the Faculty of Music in recent years was the 1984 cycli cal review. A cyclical review is a study of a teaching unit that is done
by the unit itself. This study is then submitted to a jury from outside the university, which examines the recommendations made and con siders their validity. This particu lar review made several recom mendations, which resulted in the hiring of five new full-time, per manent professionals. As well, several new programs have been implemented, mostnotably thejazz and Ph.D programs. Increased enrollment at the Faculty of Music has contributed significantly to the problems of over-crowding. An attempt made this year to restrict enrollment by raising the standards for accep tance hasn’t been entirely success ful. Despite a higher number of applications, fewer acceptances were sent out. “When we send outacceptances, we expect only 80% of those stu dents to accept our offer,” says the Dean of Music. But the Faculty had not expected that almost 100% would decide to study at McGill. Enrollment remains at higher than desirable levels. This continued high enrollment has caused the University to create

a special allocation fund, which has allowed the hiring of more part-time teachers, but which doesn’t address the Faculty’s most pressing problem: lack of space. “At this point we are using every bit of available space,” states Dean Rea. “Closets are serving as of fices now.” The forty available practice rooms, built in 1971, are not suffi cient to serve the increased num
ber of students that need them. Dean Rea points out that half of the 570 students in theFaculty of Music are from out-of-province. “These students have to live in residence or apartmentbuildings where prac ticing their instruments is out of the question.” Rooms in the Music building are highly specialized and expensive to build. A practice room must have specific ceiling height and be
well insulated to create the proper acoustic environment. “A music room is much like a laboratory,” the Dean says, “You must create the ideal conditions in which to carry out the experiment.” What would Dean Rea do given unlimited funds and carte blanche? His first concern would be for his students. “More study space, more practice rooms, an expanded li brary,” he says.
A world of their own by
J A N E JO H N ST O N
On the campus of McGill Uni versity, there is the opportunity to meet people studying in such di verse fields as Arts, Science, Engi neering, Commerce, Manage ment and Education. Yet there is one group of people that often ignored...those in the Faculty of Music. As one student exclaimed, “We have one? Where are they?” The Strathcona Music Building is locatedat555 Sherbrooke W., only a short walk from the Roddick Gates, yet few students know what goes on behind those doors. Few outsiders know how those elusive musicians feel. Joel Haynes, one of approxi mately two hundred people in the Jazz Program at McGill, was sur prised to hear that so few people on campus were aware of the Music Department. “I thought that music was up at the top, because to me it was so well known.” McGill is widely recognized by the music
world for its top-notch program. Amoung other reasons for the na tional attention it receives, McGill offers a Bachelor of Music in e i th er Classical training or Jazz. The classes are confined to one building, so there is no real reason for these students to venture onto the main campus. Joel continues, “When I think of McGill, I think of the music building, because that’s where I am. The music building is like our own campus. You hear of Engineering parties, for example. We have music parties, barbecues, even a music hockey team. We have our own clubs within the building.” Does the lack of attention the Faculty of Music receives affect the musicians? Todd Lumlei, a second year student, replies “Yes, I feel separated. We’re not even on the same campus.” Joel Haynes has similar feelings. “I do feel secluded, because it’s not part of the campus. In a way, I’m jealous, because I’m not in the nice sur
roundings, with lots of trees. Ilook out my classroom window and see Sherbrooke Street.” But Doug Thoman, another first year student, does not feel segregated. “We have our own friends within the build ing”. And what do they do in there? They play music. One student explained, “University life— for a musician—is to practise and prac tise. Wedon’tthinkaboutpubnites and movie nights. [Most of us] don’t do the party scene, we just do the music.” Todd Lumley adds, “A lot of us don’t even read the paper, we’re so busy practising.” But they all feel fortunate to have earned a place in the competi tive faculty, where many of the instructors are high-profile profes sionals. If you don’t have the op portunity to meet these talented students on campus, look around the city, where they are out enjoy ing the music. As Joel says, “Montreal is the Jazz city of Can ada, if you get out and experience it!”

Who could ask for anything more-getting music at McGill B Y M A G D A L E N A FA H R N I
It is all too easy to overlook the fact that some of the most innova tive and energetic music in the Montréal area can be found in our own back yard. Situated on the comer of Sher brooke and University, McGill’s Faculty of Music is unfamiliar territory to the majority of McGill students - an unfortunate fact when one considers the wealth of musi cal talent to be found there. Luckily, the Faculty provides frequent opportunities for inter ested students to catch an earful of this talent - free concerts, both formal and informal, ranging from classical to jazz, are staged regu larly at various locations. On any particular night in Pollack Hall (located in the Strathcona Music Building at 555 Sherbrooke St.West), for instance, an you can hear anything from ajazz ensemble to organ music. These more formal recitals generally begin at 8p.m., and similar concerts are performed inRedpathHall,at3641 McTavish St. Looking for some musical en tertainment a little earlier on in the day? Informal recitals are often held weekdays at4p.m. in theClara Lichtenstein Hall (Room 209 of the Strathcona Music Building).
These will often provide the needed inspiration you need to get your self home and ready to attack the eight or nine hours of work you do oh-so-diligently every night right after dinner. Of course, for those of you who decide to forego the eight or nine hours of work in favour of that unbeatable combination music and beer -informal combos, jazz and otherwise, have been known to appear in the Alley Monday nights at approximately 9 p.m. And finally, for those daring souls willing to brave the Montreal streets and venture (gasp!) offcampus, McGill’s Combo Semi nars promise to sate your appetite for hot jazz every Tuesday night at 2 0 8 0 (2080 Clark St., just below Sherbrooke). Beginning at 8 p.m., anywhere from six to eight combi nations from the Jazz Studies pro gramme play a couple of numbers each. These performances are re quired as part of their studies at McGill, and are followed by com mentaries and critiques from members of the Faculty. The audi ence consists largely of Music students, but everyone is welcome and the dimly-lit, cozy atmosphere o f 2 0 8 0 provides a welcome alter native to Wings Night at Annie’s. Faculty of Music concert list ings can be obtained from the
Concert office in the Strathcona Music Building. As well, keep an eye out for signs posted at various locations around campus and no tices in your campus newspa pers. To save you a little time and effort, we’ve included a list of some upcoming perform ances well worth fitting into your hectic schedule.

Yanik Préfontaine, McGill's m aster of the air This season was pegged as a re building year for the McGill Redmen football team. The era of a team that had won the 1987 National Championship was all but over. Mike Soles was leaving for pro ball, Bryan Fuller, Bruno Pietrobon and Vince Gagné were gone too. Making the play-offs was something to shoot for, not some thing expected. Well, last Saturday McGill clinched that play-off berth and one main component of that ac complishment has been the play of quarterback Yanik Préfontaine. Quite frankly, he has been a pleas ant surprise. After last week’s thrill ing win over Bishop’s, Préfontaine rocketed to first place among OQIFC quarterbacks with 1042 yards passing, 322 of which came in Saturday’s game. “I think he’s proven around the league that he’s going to be a terri
fic quarterback,” praised McGill Head Coach Charlie Baillie. “He’s been more consistent every game. He’s performing above our expec tations”. Préfontaine agrees. “It’s definitely been a big sur prise to me. The bottom line is that we have to win. I don’t care what I get.” But things were not always rosy for the second year Physical Edu cation major from Rigaud, P.Q. In his first year at John Abbott Col lege he was cut from the team, when they had stringent strength requirements that have since been relaxed. Not wanting to sit idly by, Préfontaine tried out for the hockey team. He got the axe from them too. “I ended up playing squash all year.” Préfontaine caught on the next year and credits George Wall of John Abbott with giving him the confidence and encouragement to
play in the CIAU. “People made me feel good about myselfat John Abbott. George was a great encouragement. He told me I could do it. That made me feel better about myself.” Préfontaine had big shoes to fill by replacing Bryan Fuller, who was with McGill for five years, including the Vanier Cup season. But he has made observers quickly forget any doubts they had. Both Coach Baillie and Préfontaine give much of the credit to Assistant Head Coach Ray Lalonde. “Coach Lalonde has done a ter rific job to bring him along as a quarterback”, said Baillie. “Eve ryone knows Yanik can run, but he’s taught him how to play quar terback”. “He’s my mentor”, says Préfon taine of Lalonde. “I’m not going to second guess him. I just can’t. As far as I’m concerned, I’m Ray Lalonde’s product right now.” If McGill is thanking Ray La londe for the job he’s done with Préfontaine, they can thank George Wall for getting him to McGill. Wall, who is the athletic director at John Abbott and was McGill’s quarterback coach up until this year convinced the affable young man to come to Montréal. “I got to know George Wall at John Abbott College and that re ally led me to McGill. Bishop’s approached me too, and the oppor-
tunity of going to Bishop’s foot ball-wise would have been better because the starting job was up for grabs at that point. But I wanted to come to McGill.”
essentially in his rookie season. In McGill’s back to back wins over Bishop’s, he amassed 511 yards passing, completing 18 of 39 passes. These statistics are impres-

The best sports news this fall season is the the McGill Soccer Program. And lastFriday evening, both the Martlets and Redmen again proved why. In the early game, the Martlets avenged an earlier 1-0 loss at Concordia, rely ing on two fine goals by scoring leader Natalie Ioanidis and the brilliant play of keeper Sarah Cartwright, to come from behind to win 2-1. The win against Concordia, coupled with their 2-0 victory at Sherbrooke on Sunday, gives McGill a 4-1-1 record, good for first place in the Québec Univer sity Soccer League. Concordia came out very strong, winning most balls, and forcing McGill to play a rather listless, un organized first half. Anne Caron put the Stingers up 1-0 at the 21 minute mark, on a 16 yard shot that just got underneath the dive of Cartwright.
But with only four minutes left in the first half, the Martlets struck back. It was Barbara Bruckert, who, after a nice run on the Concordia goal, took a shot which was headed away. The ball rebounded to midfielder Natalie Ioanidis who one-timed a beautiful shot into the comer to tie it. After a first half they would for the most part like to forget, McGill put together perhaps their finest half of the season. “Our second half was really strong”, said Head Coach Tony Iachetta. “We really opened the game up and our defence won every header.” Midway through the second half, Natalie Ioanidis translated the fine team effort into her second goal of the game, and her league-leading sixth of the season. She picked up a loose ball thirty yards out, and proceeded to cut through the left side of the field, placing a low shot into the right comer. “I am very proud of the way we

played tonight”, said Coach Ia chetta. On their prospects for the play-offs, he predicted that Con cordia would meet McGill again in the league final. “But the real key”, he said, “is our final game against Concordia” (this Wednesday at 8:00pm at Molson Stadium). Whoever wins that game will have the home field advantage for the play-offs. They hate our astroturf, and we hate their small field.” Redmen take Bishop’s The Redmen completed Friday’s soccer sweep at Molson Stadium by demolishing Bishop’s Gaiters by a 6-0 score. Surprisingly enough, McGill only managed one goal by the half, a nice play started by Ricky Taweel and finished by Neil McCollough. Taweel sent McCollough straight through the Gaiter defence with a perfect ball that McCollough shot home. Bishop’s defence did their best to keep the final score 6-0, as the Redmen ran circles around them. John Hayward struck twice in the second half, as Ricky Taweel, Dave Stewart, and Jono Drysdale added single goals. This win, along with the 2-2 tie at Sherbrooke on Sunday, gives the Redmen a stranglehold on first place, with a 5-0-1 record.

THE SPORTS PIT
BY AARON MARGOLIS
In the long history of McGill Redmen football there may have been prettier performances, and there might have been games where the stakes were higher, but last Sat urday’s showing against Bishops may have been one of the gutsiest of all. Call it the Thrilla in Lennoxvilla. The Redmen displayed two traits that at times in the past two seasons have seemed elusive, namely in tensity in the clutch and persever ance. Two players came to the fore Saturday afternoon in Lennoxville. One it was expected of, whereas the other was just supposed to be there to maintain the status quo. With Redmen defensive rush end Sam Hardy out for the season with a knee injury McGill was forced to use special teams player Norm Beaudry in his place. Beaudry had come to training camp listed as a running back, and no wonder. At six foot one he may have some height, but in terms of bulk he matches up well with Ed Grimley. So with fingers crossed the coaching staff stuck him in the middle of Bishops Stadium and said, go to it. Beaudry performed admirably all afternoon and even contributed
a crucial sack late in the game to preserve the Redmen victory. Getting upafter the sack Beaudry was ecstatic. As he led the defence off the field he removed his hel met, two things were immediately noticeable; his eyes, which blazed with fire and intensity, and a smile one hundred and ten yards wide. The other performance of the day went to Redmen quarterback Yanik Préfontaine. Unlike Beaudry’s surprise per formance, big things were needed from Préfontaine who in past weeks had performed inconsistently. Préfontaine came to training camp as one of the possible re placements for Bryan Fuller. Based on a positive yet only average exhibition performance, Préfon taine was more or less handed the job with the proviso that it was his to lose. Throughout the season Préfon taine has endured some bitterly disappointing moments on the field, showing only the occasional flash of consistency and self assur ance. He rarely stood out in the way a quarterback hopes he should. LastSaturday YanikPréfontaine became a quarterback. However, not before it looked as if it might be the same old story. For the first two and a half quarters Préfontaine struggled, desparately trying to locate his passing eye as well as his

T h e M cG ill R edm en football team clinched a p la y -o ff birth for the third consecutive season with a thrilling 3 2 2 7 com e-from -behind w in over the B ish o p ’ s G aitors last Saturday in Lennoxville. T h e tremendous victory lifted the R edm en to a 3 -3 w on-lost record and assured the team o f at least a fourth place finish in the O ntario-Q uebec In teruniversity F oo tb all C o n feren ce (O Q IF C ). M cG ill quarterback Y anik Préfon taine led the way for the Redm en on a m agn ificen t sunny day at B ish o p ’ s Stadium . He was good on only 8 o f 2 0 pass attempts but com piled an astound ing 3 2 2 yards. T ailin g 2 7 -1 8 in the fourth quarter and the play-offs on the line, P réfon taine cam e to the fore. He hit Christian M asotti with a 71 yard touchdown pass and less than five m inutes later the sam e two guys connected again with a 6 7 yard score to put M cG ill ahead to stay 3 2 -2 7 . Préfontaine’s perform ance was too m uch for him to handle. “It was a very em otional gam e for m e,” said Préfontaine from the M cG ill locker room after the game. “A fter the gam e I still ca n ’ t believe it. G od really cam e through for m e today.” “I f we could play two good halves I think w e’d be a very powerful team ,” continued Préfontaine. “ Y ou gotta n o tice the depth o f this team. K ey guys went down and w e stood right up.” T h e “key guy s” Y an ik spoke o f were nam ely Gerry Ifill and E ric Toupin; two o f M c G ill’s biggest guns on o f
J
receivers. With the Redmen trailing 20 to 10 late in the third quarter and McGill’s playoff hopes dying a quick death, Préfontaine arrived. In the last eighteen minutes of action Préfontaine struck three times. Three long touchdown passes, the first 100 yards to Ste ven Baillergeon, the second a 71 yard screamer to Christian Ma sotti , and the third an 67 yard chuck again to Masotti that clinched the game for the Redmen. On the last throw Préfontaine was forced to scramble and actu ally threw the ball while being poked in the eye. Yanik Préfontaine also became a leader on Saturday afternoon. He took a team replete with injuries, close to throwing in the towel, and rescued them. He performed spec tacularly under immense pressure and adversity as he brought McGill back first from a ten point deficit then a nine point deficit to defeat Bishop’s and put the Redmen into the playoffs. There is a new guard forming at McGill, and their names are Préfon taine and Beaudry.
