The documents represent $600 of the association’s $8,000 budget of 1984-85 and cover the period from Jan. 15 to May 1 of this year. Mark Roth, this year’s treasurer, said the documents were

of governors, mentioned the issue at a gathering of student

associations on Oct. 23. At the college’s board of governors meeting on Oct. 28, Williams was asked about the matter but did not comment. “I’m not prepared to make an answer on that at all until we do a full investigation because there are a lot of things that have some liability attached to it,” he said.

Pageant labelled sexist Every year I pursue the same irritating ritual. I turn on the television set and settle down to caustically observe what has to be the most degrading, ridiculous farce that I can think of.

Question of the week

The Miss Canada Pageant. The contest was televised this week and Canadian viewers were treated to a parade of very physically

beautiful females.

These women are supposed to represent what Canadians hold to be the “ideal Canadian woman.” However, the women are paraded around in bathing suits like thoroughbreds at an auction while the judges inspect their legs and overall conformation. The contestants then repeatedly demonstrate a marked an intelligence level considerably lower than most equines. Do pageant organizers think Canadians are not even faintly interested in a Canadian woman with beautiful Canadian brains? The winner of this year’s swimsuit contest will go down in the annals of history as: Miss Swimsuit. How immortal. Much better than being named a Nobel Prize laureate. At one point in the pageant, the contestants had to do short pre-recorded spots with their roommates. Infantile is too kind a word to describe the sheer idiocy. It was an embarrassing moment for womankind everywhere. One hopeful competitor, mugging before the camera, sang, “I like my roommate, oh yes I do. I like my chaperone, I like her too.” Such unbridled stupidity does not represent my idea of the “ideal Canadian woman.” Perhaps pageant organizers think it is ideal for women to appear as babbling idiots. During the question period, only two of the finalists answered the questions they were asked. The remainder, (including the eventual winner) dissolved into facile platitudes about “how great our country is.” “Look around Canada, you are really great,” chirped one entrant, simpering before the judges. If contest organizers think they are portraying what young Canadian women are like, they are way out in left
