by Arnic Zwaig “I think it is a total waste of time, money and energy which could be used far more productively,” commented Sally Tindal. She and other students worked through the night several times last week, blacking out the face on page 35 of the McGill Student Handbook.

The Student Handbook is published by the Students’ Society of McGill University, and is paid for, in part, by students’ fees. The remainder of pro­ duction costs are financed by the advertisements purchased by Society suppliers. The advertising revenue is contingent on the distribution of the Handbook largely at registration. As one of the major publications of the Students’ Society, its purpose is “to sort out the confusion that confronts the involved student who is attempting to find his own place in the University community,” according to the editor’s introducition.

The picture of a member of the Students’ Society appeared on the same page as the article on abortion and sexually transmitted diseases. The stu­ dent found the layout extremely objec­ tionable. Early last week, the individual featured consulted with Legal Aid as to the strength of his case. Shortly there­ after, he enlisted the services of one of their consultants, Mr. Brent Hussey, who is also the lawyer for the McGill Daily. The student, through Mr. Hus­ sey, sought an injunction against the distribution of the Student Handbook.

“This action would represent a tre­ mendous cost for McGill students,” commented Students’ Society VicePresident Bruce Hicks. “Not only would students’ fees have to be used to refund the advertising revenue, but the intang­ ible cost of the work involved in the publication of the Handbook would be wasted.”

The financial cost which an injunction would cause in lost ad revenue is approximately $6,000. Though the So­ ciety’s lawyer felt the student did not have a strong case and most definitely would not get a judgement in his favor, he recommended that preventive mea­ sures be taken. “The Executive Com­ mittee had three choices,” according to Bruce Williams, speaking on their behalf.

“The Committee could stand by the pic­ ture, fight the battle and run the risk of the court preventing distribution until it decided if the article was libelous; pull out the page thereby destroying the article; or go through the Handbooks manually blacking out the student’s face in every single handbook. We felt it was wisest to take the later option and

at least get the Handbook to students.”

The Executive Committee, along with numerous other students, worked for several days until last Monday, when they worked all night long to finish blacking out 12,000 copies before Brent Hussey arrived to verify their work. If Mr. Hussey deemed the work satisfac­ tory, it would prevent a temporary injunction being in place during the reg-

istration period.

“I want it clear that the ‘blackout’ was not done for any reason otjier than to render the Handbook available to stu­ dents. As the pictures were only ran­ domly placed throughout the book to depict various aspects of students life, we are confident that the student would not have a case for defamation of char­ acter,” Williams concluded.

M cGill G o e s C ab le FM After five years of negotiations and planning, Radio McGill signed a contract with Cablevision Nationale early last week. This concluded a process of CRTC (Canadian Radio and Telecom­ munications Commission) hearings,Stu­ dents’ Society Joint Management Commitee (J.M .C.) meetings, and contract negotiations. With the signature of David Sinyard, C hairman of the J .M.C ., and Jon Shifman, Comptroller, Radio McGill begins a broadcast career to what they see as the first half of‘Greater Montréal1.

With upwards of 100,000 subscribers, Cablevision Nationale services “all the area east of Peel St in the downtown area itself”, Station Manager, Albert Perez explained to JM C, “as well as Vaudreuil, Oka, St-Jerome, Boucherville and Laval”. The west half of the Island of Montréal is controlled by Cable-TV, and it is Radio McGill’s long term plan to complete its coverage by signing with both companies. However, this singular addition which as of September 21st will be carrying their broadcasts on F.M. at 93.5 Mhz, is a major step forward. “Our programming will increase to 88 hours per week during the fall and winter semesters and 60 during the summer semester,” according to Bob Bon­ homme, Business Manager and one of cont’d p. 2

by Robert Lande Faced with severe financial restraints, the Executive Committee has recom­ mended across-the-board budget cuts for activities and,functional groups. The erosion of revenue from students’ fees caused by inflation, coupled with the loss of anticipated income from the Bookstore, has reduced the amount of funds available for Students’ Society related activities. Groups which will suffer an actual reduction in subsidy include: Educational Programs and Leadership, Department of External Affairs, JM C Activity Fund, Society Communications Mini Courses, Om­ budsman, Student Security, Amateur Radio, the Debating Union and the Women’s Union. With the exception of Legal Aid, each group was allocated less then it requested. Most of these groups will receive an amount equal to last year’s expenditures.

“The Students’ Society is not immune to the current recession. The cuts we are recommending are being applied with the goal of distribution the burden of fiscal restraint equally. We do not anticipate a reduction in the quality of Students’ Society activities as a result of these cuts,” said Bruce Williams, Chair­ man of the Executive Committee.

In an effort to increase its long-term revenues, the Executive Committee has undertaken the expansion of the Students’ Society business operations.

Contracts have been signed with the Law, Arts and Science, Management, and Education faculties, enabling the Students’ Society to expand its food and beverage operations to virtually every corner of campus. While increased business operations will result in more revenue, it is not anticipated that this added income will relieve the pressure on this year’s budget.

Executive Director Resigns Ron Lermart, Students’ Society Ex­ ecutive Director, tendered his resigna­ tion effective May 1,1982, a position he held since June 1977. He has since been appointed National Executive Director of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

The position of Executive Director was a question of conflict for last year’s Council, as they dealt with the idea of dissolving the position completely. As a result, this year’s Council utilized the opportunity which his resignation af­ forded, to undertake a complete review by the Long Range Planning Committee of the functions and necessity of the position. After several months of delib­ erations, the Committee recommended to the Students’ Society executives, that “four management level staff was a small complement for a 2l/2 million dollar organization”. It clearly saw the postion of Executive Director as integral to Stu­ dents’ Society.

The Students’ Society Constitution contains provisions for a Search Com­ mittee to fill the vacancy, and as such, the Committee cannot be constituted until Council reconvenes on September 15th. Largely for this reason, it is felt that a new Executive Director will not be chosen until mid-November at the earliest.

Members on Council have expressed the opinion that the Executive Director chosen will provide the direction for Students’ Society over the next 5 years.

This is an opportunity for the Students’ Society to re-examine its own interests and priorities.

The Selection Committee has a posi­ tion for a student-at-large. Any member of Students’ Society (anyone who at­ tends McGill University, except Con­ tinuing Education) is entitled to serve. If anyone is interested, this position will be decided on September 15th, at the Stu­ dents’ Council meeting (Leacock 232, 5:30 p.m.)

P ick U p T h e T ribune One of the causes for apathy at McGill, is that students are not afforded a reasonable opportunity to be informed on the activities of their student govern­ ment. In an effort to alleviate this prob­ lem, the Students’ Society has decided to publish the Tribune on a weekly basis.

The main goal of this newspaper is to make it easier for students to be aware of what is happening at McGill, afford­ ing students a greater opportunity to participate. The Tribune will report on campus events, club activities and deci­ sions of Council. If you have questions about current Society activities, it is likely that the answers will be provided within these pages.

This paper is not merely a newsletter.

The reporting is objective and there is room for editorials. Among the regular features will be Tuesday’s Child, which will highlight involved individuals on campus, and Letters to the Ombuds­ man, which will offer students advice on dealing with the bureaucracy at McGill.

In addition, watch out for Martlets and Mudpies. This column will afford the Tribune staff the opportunity to take cheap shots at various campus person­ alities. All in all, it is to make the paper entertaining and informative.

The Tribune will be published every Tuesday. We urge you to read it regu­ larly, as the Tribune will help you get your money’s worth out of Students’ Society.

BRAVING REGISTRATION RED TAPE

by Patrick H.F. Baillie By now y ou ’re probably getting ready fo r the new sch ool year. You may or may not b e lookingforw ard to it. You may b e clinging to the fading days o f sum m er or awaiting the next ski s e a ­ son. T here are many possibilities as to how you ’re thinking, but on e thing is certain: y ou ’re not smiling when you pon der registration and the Currie Gym cattlem arket. H ow ever, to m ake the p ro cess m ore bearable, less tedious and as short as possible, the Registrar, J.P . Schuller tuas recently enterview ed by the Tribune and offered som e help­ ful hints to increase the sp eed and d ec r e a se the anxiety in your day o f paperw ork.

Tribune Could you advise the neu) and returning students o f w ays to m ake Registration a sm ooth and efficient process?

Schuller I think the student would be wise to invest a litle time in advance; that an hour or so, the day before regis­ tration will save that much time and more on the actual day. Find some­ where quiet and go over the steps, read you information, make sure you under­ stand things, check that you’ve got all the required documents and put them in a certain order.

Tribune What are the required docu ­ ments?

Schuller For a new or returning stu­ dent, they’re really straightforward. i. A letter of acceptance (new students) or a report of standing (returning students). ii. A completed study plan form also iii Bring the announcements in case you should have to look for a different course. iv. Bring a timetable v. Having some identification might be a good idea. vi. Go through the material that the admissions office sends (if you’re a new student) - it’s a fairly detailed package. vii. Turn up on time.

Concerning turning up at the right time, there is something that we’ve noticed. People tend to come in advance of their time, but that really is counter­ productive. We respect the appoint­ ments very carefully and won’t let anyone in early. So instead of showing up at 10:15 for a 10:30 appointment, you could show up at 11:15, when most of the 10:30 people are in. You may then

walk to the front and go straight in. That evens out the flow of people throughout that time period.

For the person who, because of work or travel commitments, can’t make their appointment, we will usually let people in towards the end of the morn­ ing or the end of the afternoon. Say 11:45 to 12:00, we could take some science students, for example, who didn’t make it on time for their morning (September 10th).

The Faculty of Arts has a bigger advantage, since it is spread over two days, so we cannot only take people off time, but also off day - again, at the end of each half-day session.

Students should also ask questions.

We have 85 employees looking for wor­ ried faces, but any student who has been through the process can help out the new student.

Tribune W hat are the stages betw een the front d oor and getting the final i.d. card?

Schuller It’s a little bit tighter this year than last, so it is important for me to list them. The changes are due to the great increase in the amount of unpaid fees, so we will be monitoring the right to reregister on whether or not those fees are paid.

The process is, basically, as follows: i. Present yourself at the door with your papers and, in the case of returning stu­ dents, your old i.d. card for validation.

(New ones are issued to new students, to students changing programs or those students whose cards have become a little dog-eared and been through the wash too many times.) ii. Once inside, you pick up a pre­ printed registration form, available for both new and old students. That form is then verified for fee status. If the fees are not paid due to a delay in financial aid from either Student Aid or the govern­ ment, the student will have to have some notification from Students Aid. The Student Aid staff, unlike past years, will not be at Registration, so there may be cases of students being turned away and sent to the Powell Student Services Building.

problems arise, alter study plans and provide sectioning slips for restricted courses. iv. Next is the faculty area, where reps from the various faculty offices verify the information on the form and do an extra check. They look over the selec­ tion of courses to ensure that faculty regulations are followed. They would pay particular attention to the course selection of graduating students. v. The last step is really just an administrative one when information such as foreign students status, foreign medical insurance, sessional address, local phone number, etc. is completed and checked. The form is turned in here and the student sent away with a stub for an i.d. card. vi. In the downstairs rooms, then, you have the i.d. card made up or revali­ dated and the process is over. The student should leave the Gym with a

copy of the study plan form and a valid i.d. card.

Tribune If fe e s are not paid when the student arrives at the Gym and it is not becau se o f any aid delay, what happens?

Schuller The fees may be paid at the Gym with the $10 penalty for lateness (fees were due August 18th). Please, no cash, though. Students should only bring what they need to register. Don’t bring bags full of wordly goods. There is a lot of moving during the day and coats, unbrellas and wallets are easily left behing or lost.

So that’s it! We hope that you guide to Registration-made-easy will serve its purpose. Later in the year we will explain all the other reasons why you should knourthe Registrar, but fg§pow, with Registration only a day or s© away, the most important function has just been outlined.

iii. If the financial record is all clear, then students are asked to complete or correct the personal information on the registration form and to transcribe their course selection from the study plan form to the registration form. Ringing the area of tables where you do this are departmental reps who can help out if

THE TERRY CRAWFORD BAND. Having just completed a cross-Canada tour, the Terry Crawford Band will be appearing at McGill. The band has recently released their second album; the album is entitled Good Girl Gone Bad. Three singles off this album are currently receiving considerable air play: “Getaway,” “Running,” and “Chocolate Candy”. In concert, the Terry Crawford Band is electrifying, featuring a blend of original and good cover material.

JIM CARREY. This year’s Welcome Week is not without its humourous side either. Jim Carrey, a twenty year old impressionist, will be making an appearance at McGill. His ninety minute show will bring many famous personalities vibrantly alive on stage. Jim Carrey has toured with such celebrities as the Pointer Sisters, Andy Williams, and Rodney Dangerfield. His shows have won him rave reviews in Los Angelos, Las Vegas, New York, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Carrey is in Montreal for one night only on his way to doing the Tonight Show. Don’t miss his show!

JAM ES “Scotty" DOOHAN. One of the highlights of the week will be the presence of Jam es Doohan, better known as Scooty of Star Trek. He will discuss the origins of the series and its relationship with contemporary American society. James Doohan, a naturally witty and entertaining speaker, brings with him clips from the series and the famous “blooper” reel. Mr Doohan’s appearance promises to be memorable.

A FABU LO U S FOUR FLOOR SIXTIES FESTIVAL. This entertainment event will top all others. Three different bands as well as Andy K. and his “original” Electric Lunch Hour will all be performing in the University Center on the same night. Soul Survivor and the moving sounds of motown will be in Gertrude’s. Andy K., along with his records, dance contests, and prizes, is schedules for the cafeteria. Fire, a band which has been called a reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix, will be playing the ballroom. Fire features Tony Springer, winner of the 1981 Best Canadian Guitar Player Award. He will set the Stage - not to mention his guitar - on FIRE! Opening for Fire is Tumbling Dice, a band already well known in the university circuit for their excellent protrayal - both visual and musical - of the Rolling Stones.

BITS AND PIECES. “Lyrock” will be playing in the Gertrude’s pub for three consecutive nights during the first week of Welcome Week.

Body Heat, Dr. Frankenstein on Campus and Journey to the Seventh Planet are the three featured movies! There’s a spaghetti dinner AND a chilli festival. Check the Welcome Week Schedule for dates, place and time. There is a Residence Streetdance as well!!

At the beginning of each academic year, the McGill Welcome Week committee plans a two week spectacular welcoming incoming freshmen and returning students to McGill. This year’s committee, headed by Glen Harrington, has succeeded in putting together a two week schedule of excellent entertainment. One glance at this year’s schedule will show an exciting entertainment plan, featuring the greatest amount of variety possible.

There are numerous goals that a Welcome Week committee attempts to fulfill each year. The first of these is to convince new students that McGill is the place to be. Unlike other universities which offer events open to "freshmen exclusively, at McGill an effort is made to integrate freshmen with upper year students as quickly as possible. Although special offers are made available to freshmen to be involved in the events. A second goal of the Welcome Week committee is to provide students with a wide range of quality entertainment. This goal is closely related to the third goal: providing quality entertainment at reasonable rates. All of the efforts of the Welcome Week committee, the McGill Program Board, and the Winter Carnival committee are subsidized by the Student Society fees which each student pays along with their tuition fees upon entering McGill. Discrepancies between the general admission price and the price for McGill students are a good indicator of these subsidies. The overriding goal in planning events like Welcome Week is to provide various types of entertainment at the least possible cost to the student.

The above is just a short listing of upcoming entertainment. So many things are going to be happening from September 7th to Septemberl8th. Read the Welcome Week schedule carefully and watch for individual event posters. It’s going to be a great party don’t miss it!!

Advance tickets are on sale at both Sadie’s locations on the McGill campus. For further information on any of the events or if you are interested in working on some of the events, please call: 392-8976 (Office of the McGill Program Board, Room B07 of the University Center) or just drop by.

G e rtru d e s II O p en S o o n Due to the popularity and cramped quarters of Gertrudes Pub on the main floor of the University Centre, the Pub is being expanded. Gertrudes II will open

by October 1st and will operate on three main concepts. It will be located down­ stairs from the original Gertrudes in what was formerly a lounge area. From Monday to Friday, a sandwich bar and licensed bar will be in operation during the day. However, it will still retain some of its lounge atmosphere as bag lunches will be a noticeable feature. “There is presently no facility in the University Centre for bag lunches,” said Acting Food and Beverage Manager, Jon Shifman. “The sandwich bar will be along similar lines to the one operated in Gertrudes during the summer.”

The second concept is partially an entertainment room, since video games, pool tables and a television will be installed. The new twist for Gertrudes II, will be feature movies shown every afternoon. A set time for these films has yet to be established.

The third concept, is where Ger­ trudes II gets its name. It will convert into a Pub to accept the overflow from the original Pub on Friday nights. “It will be a totally different atmosphere than the upstairs Gertrudes, so I don’t think people will only think of it as a place to go if you can’t get into Gertrudes,” said a member of the Food and Beverage Committee. “What may very well hap­ pen, is that the Gertrudes regulars who go for the people and not the place, will only go to Gertrudes II and will thereby avoid the lines.” Just to be on the safe

Welcome

side, the Food and Beverage depart­ ment is offering cheaper beer prices in Gertrudes II during the first month of operation.

“We are always trying to bring in innovative ideas into our food and bev­ erage operations,” said Shifman. “For example, the Cafeteria will be getting a Capucino and Expresso machine and having a café style corner.” In addition to its expansions in the Cafeteria, Stu­ dents’ Society has expanded its vending operations to include Chancellor Day Hall, in conjunction with the Law Stu­ dents’ Association.

As we are going to print, the Stu­ dents’ Society is signing a contract which is a first in its long history.

Included in the contract, is a promise for $25,000 worth of renovations to Ger­ trudes and the new Gertrudes II opera­ tion. “Never before has a supplier offered to undertake renovations,” said the committee member, “and Ger­ trudes needs it more than any place else. Every year the Students’ Society is so concerned on funding clubs and their own activities, that they tend to ignore renovating their business operation.”

Members on the Executive Commit­ tee, agreed that over the past five years, no Students’ Council has left any revenue in the Food and Beverage budget to undertake renovations.

“When every group, politically active or otherwise, is demanding an increase, it is easy to ignore looking after the busi­ ness operations. The extra $10,000 is a welcome addition at budget allocating time,” commented Bruce Hicks. “Even

though we have the same problems, if not compounded by the deficit financing of previous administrations, I think we

are all committed to looking after our own.”

B E E R P R IC E S G O U P Inflation affects the whole world, even Gertrude’s. Due to the 56% price increase in beer prices since June 1981, when the last Students’ Society budget was made up, beer will rise from $1.00 to $1.10 on weekdays. The evening price of

$1.30, after 6p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays will remain the same, but mixed drinks will also move up from $2.00 to $2.25.

Similarly, the price of pizza will rise to $1.15 a slice.
