D IALOGUE ON ISSUEg Graduation

Pro

by Colin McGregor There comes a time in every young person’s life when they have passed enough courses to acquire a degree (despite the very best of intentions) and consequently, can graduate. A lot of us take a good look at the wide, exciting world out there and turn right back to do a graduate degree out of paranoic fear. This is a bad thing.

Any dolt can stay in university until their eyes fall out from reading tiny print in thick books, or from trying to see just how tight a particular sweater is through the haze at Gertrude’s. But to go out there and try your luck in the Monte Carlo of life... now this takes intestinal fortitude.

There are quite a few things to look forward to out on the streets of the naked ci­ ty. Mark’s face is not one of them. Mirabel Airport is — there are countries waiting to be rediscovered, shores waiting to be explored, and baggage waiting to be handled at $6.00 per hour. There are places where a degree is still a degree: Portugal, for ex­ ample, has fewer University graduates than McGill has B.A. students. Imagine a plaque with your name on it, with the words “ President of Portugal” engraved afterwards. (Except in Portugese.)

But if a life of green wine isn’t your speed, you can stay in Quebec, as long as you remember that ‘Beaver Lake’ is actually named ‘Lack of Castor Oil’ . The greatest thing about Montreal, of course, is that for all of its problems and squabbles and difficulties, it is not Toronto. Mind you, neither is Toronto anymore. And the only jobs left to the unilingual anglos in the radio audience are a bait at Lion Parc Safari African.

But when all is said and done, the great reason for graduating is that you will be out of McGill forever. True, it will be a better place now that Mark is going. And he might be in the same city that you end up in next year. But think of a life without sil­ ly student newspapers, without constant deadlines, and without feeling guilt about missing lectures.

Pas mal, eh?

Con

Council Nears End

by Mark Weintraub There are no more than a handful o f watersheds in our lives — and these are of two kinds. There are the pleasureable ones — birth, our first words, our first hickey, our last zit — and the painful ones — our first Pregnancy Scare, first 2 a.m. zonked out of your gourd discussion with mom as to the number of eyes she in fact possesses and her particular place in the intergalactic cosmic order, our first Alcool-related cookie toss and, of course, our first death. Graduation clearly belongs with death and alcohol poisoning on this list of great events.

In the first place there’s the horror of the Graduation Ceremony itself — at least death is quick, without pretensions and (perhaps) personalized. But with gradua­ tion. .. well, first comes the Invitation, a touching momento o f your individual con­ tribution to McGill, each one bearing the handwriting o f our principal, lovingly photocopied and printed in thousand-lot orders and addressed to you along; “ Dear Graduate.” Then there is the joy of watching all your classmates (all 6,000 of them with whom you’ve shared so much) stand up, grab a photocopied scroll and shake hands with a man they’ve never seen before. Six hours worth of that, Weintraub is finally called, and its all over.

But then comes the real terror... the recognition that it is all really over, that the days of 11:30 wake-ups, the four day weekends are gone. Having discussed the Hegelian dialectic, the post-materialist social critique and the letters in Penthouse Forum at leisure, it is now time to...yes...W -0-R -K . Nine-to-five, suit-and-tie, dogeat-dog and many other cliches. Graduation means that we are actually expected to produ ce (a novel idea), to dress neat and not sit on Metro Station floors reading Kierkegaard and belching. It means we’ll have to wear shoes in summer and say things like “ Well Joan, wasn’t that a swell office Christmas Party? I’ve just bought an R .R .S .P .” or “ Of course sir, anything to oblige the boss, now just how good a piano player is your neice?” (And rumour has it that people who work don’t get a four month summer vacation.)

O f course there is a choice, one which more and more of our university graduates are making. Graduation need not only lead to work, it can lead to unemployment too. But this is only a moderately more attractive alternative. After all, how long can you eat SPAM and go to matinees? All in all, Graduation is really the pits.

by Sherif Nematalla The Students’ Council met on March 28 to complete some final business as the 1984 Academic Year continues to draw to an end.

Following several casual questions within the question period, council confronted its first order o f business.

This was a motion submitted by Marcy Vigoda, proposing that a telegram expressing our disapproval of the provincial government’s plans for the student’s fee increases be sent to the Quebec government.

The 1983-1984 academic year has been unprecidented in terms of tight financial constraints. The Students’ Society, wishing to “ tighten their belt” and cut expenditures, met and decided to have the University Centre close ear­ ly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes­ day evenings and increase bear prices.

This ruling has created a reverse conse­ quence; Gertrudes Pub has generated a

Patrick Gagnon promptly responded by saying, “ This committee against the government’s fee increases was a rather spontaneous one consisting o f a con­ glomeration of concerned students.

This group expressed their feelings through a student rally which was organized outside the front lawn of the National Assembly building, as well as through numerous petitions and telegrams.”

Gagnon continued by saying, “ Another petition will be circulated this week and I urge all students to join

deficit of approximately $30,000 this year.

The Joint Management Committee, which oversees the costs of the Students’ Society, voted to decrease this deficit by transferring to it several thousand dollars which have been generated by the increased price of beer at Gertrudes.

The next order of business entailed a debate on whether the South Africa Committee’s position should be left to its present status. This issue was not completed and will likely be dealt with in depth during the final Students’ Society meeting.

Important Screening To Be Held In Union

by Norbert Laschic Together the McGill Health Services and the Montreal Children’s Hospital are inviting students and staff to take advantage of the “ Montreal Tay-Sachs Carrier Screening Program” . For the past 12 years we have had in Quebec the most successful Tay-Sachs disease prevention program in the world. The objective of this program is to find those of you who carry the Tay-Sachs mutation. This mutant gene is present at a high frequency in the Aschkenazic Jewish (ancestors of the Aschkenazim come from Eastern Europe) communi­ ty and 1 in 30 of them are carriers for the gene. (In the Sephardic communi­ ty, from the Mediterranean region, the carrier frquency is 1 in 300 for the TaySachs gene). The question is: do you know if your are a Tay-Sachs carrier?

Carriers do not have Tay-Sachs disease. (In fact, everyone carries one or more mutations but we rarely know it). Should a carrier marry another car­ rier, then the risk is high (1 in 4 with each pregnancy) for having a child with

Tay-Sachs disease. You can learn more about the testing program and TaySachs disease by reading the enclosed brochure. We think you will agree it is a disease to be prevented in your future children. By participating in the pro­ gram, you can help to prevent the birth of a child with Tay-Sachs disease. Even if you don’t marry or have children, you may help other members in your family if you are a carrier of the gene.

We encourage you to have the test when the clinic visits your University (on Thursday, April 5, between 11:30 am, and 2 pm, at the Union Building in room 107 and 108). the test is simple and takes only a few seconds o f your time. The test will be analyzed at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. The results are confidential and will be given only to you. Also, since the car­ rier frequency for the Thalassemia mu­ tant gene is found to be somewhat higher in the Sephardic Jewish com­ munity, Thalassemia carrier screening will also be available at the same time.

We test only for the Tay-Sachs gene or

Thalassemia And Tay Sachs — What Are They?

by Norbert Laschic On April 5th, 1984 from 11:30 to 2:00 P.M . there will be a screening clinic for Thalassemia and Tay-Sachs disease in room 107-108 of the Univer­ sity Centre. So What, you ask? What are Thalassem ia and Tay-Sachs disease? Would I benefit by being screened?

Thalessemia refers to a group of in­ heritable diseases which can result in severe anemia. A child born with Thalassemia major is destined for a shortened life span during which he or she will require frequent blood transfu­ sions and suffer the consequences of more or less severe anemia as well as the complications which can result from blood transfusion. The anemia occurs because o f the failure of normal production of one of the molecular chains which constitute hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells. As a result of the unavailability of one of the normal hemoglobin chains there is the per­ sistance of immature or abnormal hemoglobins. Thalassemia occurs predominantly in two population groups— 1. individuals from areas around the Mediterranean, particularly Greeks and Italians.

2. Chinese, South East Asians and groups on the Indian sub-continent.

The Mediterranean type is called betaThalassemia because of failure of nor­ mal production of the beta chain of hemoglobin. The Asian form is called alpha Thalassemia because it is alpha chain production which is deficient. In order for a child to have Thalassemia he or she must inherit an abnormal gene (controlling alpha or beta chain production) from both parents. A child or adult having only one abnormal gene has thalassemia trait. About seven percent o f Greeks and three percent of Italians in the Montreal area have Thalassemia trait. The prevalence in

other Mediterranean groups and the Asian population has not been clearly defined. Having Thalassemia trait anemia which can be misinterpreted as iron deficiency unless the special test for Thalassemia trait is done. The main implication of having Thalassemia trait is genetic. If both members of a couple have the trait there is a twenty-five per­ cent chance that their children will have Thalassemia major. Thus the op­ p o rtu n ity fo r screen in g fo r Thalassemia trait is offered to people in the two population groups previous­ ly mentionned so that they can be aware about the possibility of having a child with Thalassemia major. Those with a negative test can feel confident that their children won’t have this disease while those with a positive test would want to know whether their mate has the trait or not to make knowledgable decisions about having children T a y -S a ch s d isease is found predominantly in Ashkenazi Jews. It is a disease of severe cerebral degenera­ tion beginning in the early months and resulting in death before the age of four years. There is no treatment for it.

Like Thalassemia both parents have to contribute an abnormal gene for the disease to occur. Having one abnormal gene has no adverse consequences.

About three percent of Ashkenazi Jews are carriers o f the gene. They can be detected by doing a blood test to deter­ mine the level o f hexosaminidase A which is the enzyme deficiency in TaySachs disease. The implications of hav­ ing a positive or negative screening test would be the same as previously discussed for Thalassemia.

For both Tay-Sachs disease and T h a la s s e m ia a m n io c e n te s is or fetoscopy is available early in pregnan­ cy to detect an affected fetus which would be expected to occur with a fre­ quency o f twenty-five percent if both parents are carriers. In this way an in­ fo rm ed d e cisio n co n ce rn in g therapeutic abortion can be' made.

the Thalassemia gene, depending on which test you ask for, and n o other analysis is done on your blood sample.

The test is free.

You should know that the Board of Jewish Ministers, and many agencies in the Jewish community support the pro­ gram.

Ready For A Long, Hot Summer?

McGill Thursday last, but damn close.

What does one do when the evenings are long and your boy/girlfriend is away from the closeness of your heart?

When the neanderthal boss of that summertime jo b handling horsecookies demands you shake your shovel? MUSIC. My summer picks? L A U R IE A N D ER SO N ’S M ister H eartbreak (W ARNER) offers fresh, warm, poetry/funk with PETER GABRIEL, N I L E R O D G E R S and B I L L LA S W ELL assisting on various pieces.

I can think o f no better album than MADNESS’ K eep Moving (GEFFEN) to shake away those rainy summer-day blues. The cancellation o f their recent April date at the Spectrum leaves many a fan (myself included) dismayed. We hope no serious problems forced the cancellation o f their North American tour. After a four-year absence from the recording studio, reggae/beat poet LIN TO N K W ESI JO H N SO N resur­ fa c e s w ith M a k in g H is t o r y (ISLAND/Import). Backed by the Dennis Bovell Dub Band, Johnson of­ fers rhythmic, mesmerizing and social­ ly conscious reggae. The same is true of S T E E L P U L S E ’S E a rth C risis (ELEKTRA). David Hinds’ lyrics and voice brims with melsimatic urgence.

New music fans are already talking about THE IC IC L E WORKS’ debut lp; self-titled (on BEGGAR’S BAN­ QUET/ P O L Y G R A M ), crystalline vocals and guitars weave a fresh post­ punk sound into moody and perplexing lyrics. Paul Weller (tx-JA M ), Mick Talbot and assorted guests form the nexus for THE STY LE CO UN CIL’S first full-fledged album. Titled My Ever Changing M oods (C afé Blue in the U.K.), much of this music seems to be an homage to the summertime odes of S L Y & THE F A M IL Y STONE. R icochet Days, the latest release from MODERN EN G LISH may either sur­ prise you or leave you cold. Much of this album sounds like last year’s A fter The Snow. Make up your own opinion.

Me? I like H ands A cross The Sea and R ain bow ’s End. Power-poppers won’t be left out with the new GO-GOs album, Talk S how (IRS/A&M), TH E C A R S ’ H eartbreak City (ELEKTRA) and

OINKERS AWAY! “ Here’s a last tribute to Santropol/I gave you small change; you gave me your sole. Well maybe not sole but tuna in tons. In flocks and droves came daughters and sons/Escaping the dorms and Ivy Hall air. Can’t say I’ll cry upon leaving here. To greener pastures o f fortune and fame/And maybe a spot on Bob Barker’s Price Game.”

Four years at McGill! I recommend to all who stay behind or plan on spen­ ding their summer here to check out Café Santropol. I have yet to go through the entire menu of soups, salads, over-over-stuffed sandwiches, over thirty types o f teas, shakes and desserts and more, more, more for less, less, less money said this little capitalist pig. Open until 4 a.m. on Saturdays, Santropol’s is located on the corner of Duluth and St. Urbain Streets.

Friends up for a visit in the summer?

Introduce them to souvlaki at the best and baby-is-it-cheap Arahova Souvlaki Restaurant off Park Avenue and on Fairmount. Just across the way from there is the Famous Bagel Factory-say hi to the groupies there and pick up some the freshest bagels in town.

My favorite food in the world, Chinese, will be coming your way in full-style in Montreal in August during the annual Chinese Cultural Week and Festival o f the Autumn Moon.

Discover ancient Chinese cooking secrets in carts rolled before your very eyes, loading with goodies galore. Only in August? No fellow squeakers, also every week-end, deep in the heart of Chinatown. Check the newspapers for a listing near you! If you wanna know more about summer eating, check out the MECCA FOR MOUTHFULS sec­ tion in the middle of this issue. Well, I gotta be oinking along, so go out and gorge yourself silly. (Wilbur)

There’s a lot happening in Montreal this summer. I know you’ve heard that before, but it’s true and I found ot the hard way — with three bratty kids by my side. The story goes like this: Last summer, I managed to get a job taking care of three boys, ages 6-13. Their mother chose me because no one else was able to fulfill the following three conditions set by her rambunctious tykes: (1) Slo museum visits, (2) no art gallery gawking and (3) no television­ watching. It was difficult but I suc­ ceeded in satisfying the brats; even their mother. Here was my game planmake it part of yours.

We city-dwellers, unlike our rural counterparts, have forgotten how to be creative when we search for something amusing to do. We usually end up go­ ing to a movie or, oftentimes, to a bar.

The key to an enjoyable time is to redefine or convert the original pur­ pose of ordinary places and events to serve your interests.

Beaver Lake is without doubt one of the most popular mountain spots in Montreal. It has always been an ideal place for sunbathing, picknicking, and playing all sorts o f games. Many after­ noons were whiled away by flying kites there, listening to lively concerts and watching plays for all ages (all for free), riding on a horse-and-buggy, sailing remote-controlled boats as well as flying radio-controlled airplanes.

During the evenings, we’d attend many different types of dances organized by various ethnic groups. We had a wonderful time, meeting lots o f people and, of course, dancing.

Further south, is Old M ontreal where L e Vieux P ort is located. The federal government has been doing all it can to preserve and restore this col­ ourful section of town. Try to imagine yourself on a “ floating nightclub” in the middle of a huge port. With the help of the government, a barge has been converted into such a night-spot.

I’m sorry to say, but the brats and I never went there together. However, we did do other things at Le Vieux Port. We were given a ride in a 1922 Model T-Ford (and in other vintage cars as well), we went on a cruise on the St. Lawerence that leaves Le Vieux Port daily and also evenings, and we bicycled on trails that run along the Lachine Canal all the way to Verdun.

Nearby Le Vieux Port, in the Jacques Cartier square, the squirts and I joyful­ ly watched musicians, acrobats, dancers, actors and puppeteers per­ form their magnificent talent. We had a lot of fun at Le Vieux Port.

Now and then, les enfants terrible would, unwillingly, join me as I flock­ ed to garage sale after garage sale, from flea market to flea market all over Montreal. It seems that lately, a great deal o f people are spending their weekends going to flea markets and garage sales. Why? Well, it’s a great way to meet other Montrealers over tea and some talk. The boys met a lot o f people their own age and, well, so did I... if you know what I mean.

The little monsters and I had a wonderful time last summer. We realized something very important about the search for entertainment: it is usually staring you right in the face.

All you have to do is see what you’ve got and make it serve you r interests.

(K.N.)

Film Fare March and April are slow months for movies. All the Christmas and January releases are creaking to a close, the big summer sequels haven’t showed up yet. It’s just as well... we all have too much work to do, don’t we?

Looking forward to when it is all over there are only a paltry few movies worth the price o f admission. But those few are worth seeing. One is Splash, the oldest fish story o f them all done up for a modern audience, and about

McGill Tribune the best thing that Disney has done since Mickey Mouse retired. They missed a good bet in not featuring John Candy in the advertisng; he all but steals the show.

Reuben Reuben is another film which earns its keep; as an alcoholic poet, Tom Conti delivers some o f the best “ cad” lines ever: On entering a party he asks the hostess: “ point me to the nymphomaniacs, please.” This movie makes a fine statement about sheep dogs and suicide attempts.

Next week, in case you don’t pay at­ tention, the Academy Awards come around again. The editorial favorite around here is The Right Stuff, but it won’t win; it is far too unprogressive and right wing for the people who vote on these things. But then Star Wars lost too.

After the awards there should be a lot of new movies out. One that has already opened is Grey stoke. “ Edgar Rice Burrough’s mythic masterpiece filmed as Burroughs actually conceived it” , says the blurb. Reading that, I have my doubts. Burroughs wrote the Tarzan series as pure pulp, not classics, and there are holes in his books big enough to drive a herd of elephants through. However, I’m looking for­ ward to seeing a skinny Tarzan “ rescue a Belgian collecter from a pygmie at­ tack.” The comic possibilities are fascinating.

Then there are the annual sequels, which we can expect, later in the sum­ mer. One o f the biggest is bound to be Raiders o f The L ost A rk II. This movie begins with Steven Speilberg sitting alone in his L.A. office, his head in his hands, asking himself why he killed off all the bad guys in the last one. Why didn’t he keep a few for the sequel?

Lucas kept Darth Vader... Where is he going to find more Nazis for Harrison Ford to abuse?

The other big sequel is Star Trek III: The Return O f S pock (As I f You Didn’t Already Know). In this film Spock is rescued from his untimely exit (oh, good) and has exacted his price in insisting that he direct the movie (Oh, G o d ). I ’ m n ot m aking any predictions... I’ve adopted a wait and weep attitude.

The studios may have at last decided to try to sell new material (as well as warmed up leftovers), but there are still people obsessed with sequels, willing to remake before they make. It is these people who are responsible for other sequels coming out this summer.

George Romero, it appears, has a se­ quel to his Night O f The Living D ead and Dawn O f The Dead, to be called A ftern oon O f The Living S oap Operas, in which zombies take over key parts on General H ospital, and nobody notices. Then there’s The Day A fter The Day A fter, in which Jason Robards discovers the joys o f life without hair. And Eraser head II, a bizarre, disturbing, true story of life in Toronto. Finally, there’s the picture we’ve all been waiting for: R ocky

So these are some of the sequels you can look forward to this summer. My advice is to see Splash and Reuben Reuben, and stick to the movies at the reps. Accept no sequel before its time, or at least until you hear what it’s like.

To Escape in a book...

Summer. That word is seducing right now. I can’t wait to feel that season’s ambrosia again. The Freedom that comes from not having to study (at least for the majority of students) can be climatic. But if you’re from a small town, or feel like you live in one, what’s to do to keep that consumate feeling? Simple. Read a book. Read a few books. Read a hundred books.

So you’ve decided to give it a chance. To let go for awhile and to fill your senses with a good narrative tale. “ What’ll be out in paperback this sum­ m er?” you wonder. W ith the assistance of Peter Black at the Nora Bookstore on Crescent and Daniel Buda from Buda Books at 4205 St. Catherine St. W ., I’ve come up with that answer: How about Nobel literature prize recipient Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Chronicle o f a Death Foretold, John LeCarre’s Little Drummer Girl, and R em em berance o f Things Past by Marcel Proust? Of the latter Daniel Buda, said “ It is the greatest book ever written in the 20th century” !

If horror is your genre, the answer is simple. Stephen King’s P et Semetary will scare your socks off. It’s another manifestation of King’s superior story­ telling ability.

Haven’t found what you like yet?

Do you enjoy reading about famous people? The D ark Side o f Genius, The L ife o f A lfred H itchock is an in-depth account o f this major director’s achievements. C atch A F ire by Timothy White is an interesting look at the late Bob Marley’s life. This season keeps looking better all the time.

My favorite books are science fiction and fantasy. Nowhere have I seen a better mix of these two conventions than in Roger Zelazny’s Changeling. It came out in 1981 and was exquisitely il­ lustrated by Esteban Maroto. Like Zelazny? Then try M adwand and his more recent E ye o f Cat. David Halpern’s Winter’s Tale will soon see paperback release. It offers a prismatic view of early 21st century life in New York City. Sciencefiction great Isaac Assimov’s R ob ot o f Dawn is also recommended along with Larry Niven’s Integral Trees and End o f World News by Anthony Burgess.

I hope you understand that books are great things to spend time with.

They’re an escape, just like summer break is...

I’ve just been engulfed by another dimension. Rod Serling is talking in the background, I can’t seem to come back. Help... (pause) After thinking it oVer, I think I’ll stay in “ The Twilight Zone” for the rest o f the summer.

The Final Word

by Ralph Quirino Balderdashian Hey, it’s over? What? so soon? “ Seems we just get started and before you know it...” Time to acknowledge the help of certain individuals who made my all-too-brief stay at the Trib one of the fondest memories of McGill I shall take away with me.

So I lift my glass to: Brian (“ Are you sure you’ll hâve enough space?” ) Todd, Farou kh (“ The Drifters? You like the Drifters, too?” ) Kanga, Donna Shield (your kisses helped me make it through some days), St. Todd the K. (for favours received), and to Sarah M arshall (hope all’s AOK with ya!).

They were my mentors, my partners and individuals I can truly call my friends...

Honorable mention must go to my staff: Kevin Nishmas, the Oinkers, Stephen Fraser, Basil McDonnell, Mr. Telik, James Woodman, Roula Cafedjis, Joey Qualude, Pamela Muir and the occasional riff-raff who wandered

through the door.

Judy Cutler kept me very busy with the Centaur Theatre, Scott Plate always kept me in touch with McGill Drama, The Savoy Society, The Tues­ day Night Café and the Player’s Theatre people assisted in keeping my staff and I informed. I award The Tribune Special Service Award to Louise Burns at Polygram Records, Richard Gamache at Capitol, Gilles Petelle at RCA, Nick Carbone at WEA, Nicole Duschenes at A&M and Helen Matella at Ready Records.

Thanks to Stephanie at ASUS for hugs and illicit verbiage, to Carol and Heidi for bagels, munchkins and sunglasses, to Paul the Penguin, and finally to D.R. who always made my day whenever she cascaded into the of­ fice à la B oy George.

Well, time to pack up my typewriter, hitch on my back-pack and hit the old glory trail. It’s been real...

Take My Portfolio, Please!

by Chris Fitzgerald Well, it happened! Market messiah Henry Kaufman opened his mouth, prophesied that interest rates and infla­ tion would continue to rise, and it rain­ ed on Wall Street for 40 days and 40 nights wiping out all signs o f life. You see, Kaufman is a well-known economist for Salomon Bros, and has established a rather influential reputa­ tion of being an accurate predictor of government deficits, price levels and stock market trends. So when E.F. Kaufman talks, investors and every company executive and his grandfather listens and pays. As it turned out, though, his most recent words were not very comforting.

Even though the D JIA broke under the 1200 level approximately 2 months ago, the past few weeks has seen little improvement. In fact, the market dropped another 65 to 70 points to hit a recent low of 1135 — the NYSE’s lowest level in over a year and a half, and this in an economy which is grow­ ing by leaps and bounds (i.e.

Washington’s so-called flash estimate o f GNP shows the US economy expan­ ding at a strong 7.2 percent annual rate during the first 3 months of the year).

As a result, one must ask oneself why the markets have responded in only a negative way to such promising economic news and why Henry Kauf­ man has painted such a gloomy picture for an economy which appears to have a bright future? For some, this is a strange dilemma. But for others, such as people who keep a sharp eye on the Canadian dollar, interest rates and the constantly moving mouth o f Bank of Canada governor Gerald “ Robot” Bouey and Fianace Minister Marc Lalonde, it is a dilemma which can be explained. In other words, they accept the simple, although often correct the theory that interest rates are the stock market’s “ Achilles’ Heel” . So when

interest rates rise because the govern­ ment is trying to control inflation or defend the dollar, the stock market in­ dices tend to drop — a scenario (or theory) which has become a reality.

This can be seen in the recent rise in the price rates of Canadian and US banks and from the subsequent market malady.

Since we can now assume that the financial markets are largely dependent upon the movement o f interest rates, we might then ask ourselves the ques­ tion of what will be the future direction of interest rates? If we disregard the subjective opinions o f the Liberal Par­ ty and the brokerage firm analysts,

who will always have a positive outlook simply because their welfare and future employment depends on it, we find then that more “ objective” economists and analysts like Kaufman are exhibiting great concern. In a re­ cent Gazette article, Gerald Bouey, when asked to outline the policy o f the Bank of Canada, indicated that he would “ resign to playing golf in the south” before agreeing to push the dollar down as a way o f boosting Canadian exports. Also, he refered to the Federal Government’s huge deficit o f some $30 billion and to the increase in US interest rates as “ two vital pro­ blems which must be dealt with if Canada is to achieve sustained

Life After Trudeau?

by M arc P rou d m an The Toronto stock index soared a spectacular 20 points within 90 minutes of the Trudeau resigna­ tion announcement reaching the trading floor. And in Calgary, cheers broke out among a meeting of oil executives when they heard the news.

Broadcast News, 29/02/84 That pretty well says it: Business has never liked Pierre Trudeau, and Pierre Trudeau has never had much regard for business.

The choice of Trudeau as party leader in 1968 marked a decision by the Liberal Party to move away from its traditional cozy relationship with business. The Liberal Party under King and St. Laurent had been more the par­ ty o f Bay Street than the Conser­ vatives. The erratic rule o f John Diefenbaker reinforced the business community’s support of the Liberals.

But Lester Pearson disappointed businessmen. His appointment of

Walter Gordon, an extreme economic nationalist, as finance minister, began the Liberal Party’s drift to the left.

Gordon’s attempts to control foreign, specifically American, investment in Canada angered businessmen more concerned with reality than with na­ tionalist fears of continentalism.

It was in an effort to soothe the business community that Robert Winters, a Toronto businessman, was recruited by the Liberal Party. Winters ran for the Liberal leadership in 1968, running second to another recent recruit, Pierre Trudeau. The election of Trudeau, a man who had once writ­ ten that Canada needed socialism, but that it must be introduced under another name, confirmed the Liberals’ move to the left. Socialism would be called Liberalism, and a recruit from the NDP would become Prime Minister.

The unofficial motto o f Brian Mulroney’s leadership campaign was ‘Give a real job to a man who’s had a

Legal Aid For Students

by Richard Young and Nicholas Gleckman A student with a legal problem need go no further than the Student Union Building and to McGill Legal Aid Of­ fice. We spoke with Marc Genuist, a director, who outlined some o f the ser­ vices offered.

McGill Legal Aid provides free legal information for the Montreal com­ munity. The service was founded 12 years ago, is run by law students and funded by the Students’ Society and

economic prosperity” . From this, two general conclusions can be drawn.

First, it is highly likely that the govern­ ment will continue to defend the dollar by raising interest rates. And second, if the US dollar continues to fall, infla­ tion in both the US and Canada will again become a problem — a problem which Bouey says “ inevitably puts up­ ward pressure on Canadian interest rates.” Thus, it would seem that the best the Canadian economy can hope for is a levelling off of the price rate and the inflation rate, which in turn makes stocks a rather mediocre invest­ ment. But it is important to remembei that “ the best” is often the least likely to occur.

the ASUS. The most common problem, par­ ticularly among McGill students, con­ cerns leases. Lease law, like many laws in Quebec, differs greatly from those in other provinces and countries. As for business, Legal Aid provides informa­ tion for those students aspiring to enter the business world and for those who already have. Legal Aid profiles the steps that need to be taken regarding partnerships, incorporations and limiting businesses. They also provide

some tax help.

Legal Aid is not permitted to give advice or to act as a representative.

However, it can inform the client of the opportunities available to him or her and the possible directions to be followed.

Legal aid is open weekdays from 9:00 to 5:00 and all files are kept con­ fidential. This free service is unique to McGill and makes full use of the university’s legal facilities.

real jo b .’ The motto was a jab at Joe Clark, a man who has spent his entire life in Tory backrooms. But it could equally well have been a jab at Pierre Trudeau, a man whose life, before entering politics, had been spent in faculty clubs. Trudeau came to power having had no experience in business, and having no interest in economics.

His economic record, consisting of geom etrically increasing budget deficits, a declining dollar and unemployment now four points higher than in the U .S., confirms this state­ ment.

O f course, Trudeau’s major interest has always been in constitutional ques­ tions. In 1968 the country was also preoccupied with these problems.

When unemployment was low and in­ flation almost nonexistent, economic policy did not seem too important. The country voted, in 1968, for Trudeau’s idea o f federalism. We ended up, in 1984, with FIRA, the National Energy Program and a 78<t dollar.

Perhaps the Liberal leadership cam­ paign will see the Liberal Party move back toward the centre. Mark MacGuigan has called for the govern­ ment to get out of the nation’s boar­ drooms. John Turner is talking like Brian Mulroney, two octaves higher. It would be good for the country if both Liberals and Tories could agree that the interventionism of the Trudeau years did not work. A bipartisan con­ sensus that markets make better deci­ sions than bureaucrats, could lead to rebuilding of business confidence, and to a consequent rebuilding of the Canadian economy.

A Career In International Business?

by Franca Ciambella The popular vision of a career in In­ ternational Business is one o f “ jet­ setting around the world” , facing new challenges and encountering the ex­ traordinary and exciting. Often we think of “ palm trees and moonlight” and of the financial rewards. In reality, it is hardly like this. Graduating students confronting the possibility of joining a multinational company are thinking twice. They are questioning their ability to handle the strains both on their professions and their personal lives. Consider the likelihood of being transferred from country to country as frequently as once every three months.

As one student explained, it would not be so difficult to spend three months in Singapore, except that afterwards he would be transferred to Indonesia, and then elsewhere. Only after eight years could he expect an appointment in North America.

Professor Nancy Adler, of the Faculty of Management teaches a course titled “ Cross Cultural Manage­ ment” . In it, she attempts to prepare students for careers in International Business, and to make them aware of, and hopefully solve some of the ac­ companying problems. Professor Adler maintains that dealing with or managing across different cultures can be taught on cognitive, emotional and behavioral levels. Only a small percen­ tage o f the population is born easily adaptive to any culture, while an equal­ ly small percentage can never learn how to ‘manage across’ cultures. For­ tunately, the rest of us can be trained to be effective managers by accepting recommendations as to how to handle a particular situation, and as to what will work under certain circumstances.

While the trend is towards more In­ ternational Business, yielding higher sales and profits, overseas appoint­ ments are relatively small in number.

Due to the investment necessary in sen­ ding someone overseas, which can be as high as $100,000 for travel, training and accomodation, organizations prefer to hire local workers. Govern­ ments are the largest overseas employers, but usually send employees

abroad after they have worked at head­ quarters for a year or two. Banks tend to send people at a very junior level. It is in fact with banks that many students are facing serious offers to go abroad immediately. Other industries such as manufacturing and construc­ tion, send their more senior personnel overseas. According to Derek Thomas, Director o f International Staffing at Alcan Aluminum Limited, a main reason for transferring employees to foreign countries is to compensate for a lack o f human resources there.

Another reason is to aid in the transfer o f technology from plant to plant.

Thirdly, employees are sent overseas to help them develop personal skills.

Lastly, according to Thomas, major projects can at times only be completed be sending employees abroad.

The strains on families, friends and budding relationships are major obstacles. Professor Adler states that the single major cause for the early return o f an employee is the dissatisfaction of the spouse. This has encouraged studies into the problems encountered by spouses and families.

The documentary film, “ A Portable Life” , directed by Adler and spon­ sored by Alcan, focuses on these dilem­ mas. It shows that the employees ex­ perience the “ continuity” due to their work. Similarly, the children ex­ perience the “ continuity” of school, and adapt easily. The spouses on the other hand must drop their activities, careers, jobs and friends. For them, the overseas experience can be a lonely one. Professor Adler explains that while appointments vary from com­ pany to company, the most common are for two years. They can be as lengthy as 4 or more years. She doubts the effectiveness o f sending someone abroad for three months, but she recognizes some companies do it for n e e d h el p . . .

Think Twice.

the purpose of training new employees.

She paralells it with sending a new employee on a three month course.

Accepting to go overseas for finan­ cial rewards is not adequate reason. No salary, however attractive, can com­ pensate for the family and friends missed, or for the “ culture shock” .

Furthermore, the amount o f prepara­ tion given to an employee varies from company to company. Some organiza­ tions just hand the employee an airplane ticket, while others provide preparatory courses and language tutors. Despite the fact that English predominates as the language o f Inter­ national Business, not knowing the native tongue is a hinderance.

Professor Adler gives the following advice to someone prepared to accept an overseas appointment: 1. Know why you are going, and be clear as to what you want from the ex­ perience. To go for the money is not a good enough reason.

2. Realize that the “ culture shock” is real. The manager who feels this “ culture shock” and learns to accept it will be a manager who is most effective in a new location.

3. Attempt to learn the foreign language, even just a little. Also, learn about the different culture, but do not

forget that you are a Canadian. In other words, do not become a “ Roman” , but rather an “ effective Canadian” .

4. Keep communicating with com­ pany headquarters. In an organization, “ out of sight, out of mind” applies. If possible, get a commitment as to your position upon your return before leav­ ing.

5. Ask a native how Canadians are looked upon. Most of us take for granted that our ways are universally accepted.

Professor Adler concludes that it is a myth that on the organizational level we are “ beyond our passports” . Our identity is always maintained in a foreign country. Ethics and ways of thinking, among other things, vary drastically from nation to nation. The human core, if it exists, is very small.

No guarantee is given that an employee after many years of moving about the world, will ever be given a permanent position. Further, re-entry to a home country after years of absence, is more difficult than the original departure. Thus, in most aspects, a career in International Business, despite its rewards and challenges, is hardly “ moonlight and palm trees” .

STUDENTS’ SOCIETY OFFICE SPACE REQUESTS x NOTICE TO ALL McGILL STUDENT GROUPS (Submissions will be received from April 6th until 4 :3 0 pm, April 30th, 1984.)

Any student group on campus may request office space in the University pro­ vided the group has been in operations since January 1st, 1984. According to Council policy adopted September 13th, 1978, the same groups ineligible to receive Students’ Society funds are also not eligible to be given office space in the Union.

Please note the following: • groups with office space in 1983/84 will be given preference.

• Students’ Council reserves the right to assign office space to any new ad hoc committee it may form up to the time at which space allocation for 1984/85 is approved by Council.

• the Joint Management Committee will review all space requests and, at its discretion, will decide which groups assigned space will have to share offices.

• groups recognized by the Students’ Athletics Council will be entitled to one of­ fice only. This office will be shared by not more than 6 sports clubs as determin­ ed by the SAC. Due to the extremely high demand for office space in the Union, 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 ade­ quacy of the furniture and accesories 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 delivered or mailed to: Leslie Copeland, Operations Secretaryh, Students’ Society General Office, Room 105, 3480 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9 NO LATER THAN 4 :3 0 PM, MONDAY, APRIL 30th , 1984

Take-Over Bids By Way Of Private Agreement: A Narrow Safe Harbour

by Martine Wallimann smaller percentage.

A company (or less often an in­ dividual) who is seeking to acquire con­ trol o f another company can decide either to simply buy securities and therefore fulfill a certian number o f re­ quirements concerning ordinary tran­ sactions o f securities, or choose to adopt the take-over bid solution which has some special clauses under Cana­ dian Law. Essentially these clauses re­ quire the offer to remain open for a certain time, providing conditions for an eventual withdrawal o f the accep­ tance, and administer the payment for the acquired shares. In fact, these re­ quirements are quite strict and also quite expensive, therefore some exemp­ tions, sometimes called “ safe harbors” have been provided by the law. These usually pertain to small offerings or cater to the particular needs of the per­ sons involved in the transaction, for example, institutional investors.

In the event of a take-over, a par­ ticular form of exemption is interesting to note, as it may eventually be of managerial benefit for those involved.

A company may be directly acquired by dealing exclusively with the con­ trolling shareholders, or with a minori­ ty o f shareholders under private agree­ ment. It is not necessary to deal only with those who represent a legal ma­ jority of a company (51%) as it is possible to control a company with a

The advantages o f such a transaction are mostly to avoid publicity, to pro­ ceed more quickly and safely and to avoid a lot o f legislation. The Securities Laws of both Quebec and Ontario provide these exemptions.

In order for the exemption to be granted, the law requires that a certain number o f conditions be met. They fall under Section 88 (2) of the Ontario Securities Act and Section 116 of the Quebec Securities Act. If the transac­ tion is to occur through a stock ex­ change without public offering and if the agreements are carried out with fewer than 16 shareholders, the takeover bid will be exempted from the usual requirements.

But even if all conditions are met, the Canadian law, inspired by a similar law in Great Britain, imposes an obligation upon the offeror. Under certain circumstances, he or she must make an equivalent offer to the re­ maining shareholder.

Based upon this agrument, the On­ tario Securities Act determines that the exemption has been completed when the offeror complies with these re­ quirements. If the price of the offer is greater than the market price (plus reasonnable fees), a follow-up offer of equal value must be made to the re­ maining shareholders.

The conditions o f the Quebec Act are somewhat different; there is no such follow-up offer obligation, but if

the price offered exceeds the market value, the exemption does not apply and the ordinary take-over bid rules must be respected.

In both cases, the market price is defined as 15% higher than the closing price o f the market. Nonetheless, the Ontario Law is not definitive; large powers have been known to sway the Ontario Securities Commission into granting some exemptions to the follow-up offer obligation. The com­ mission is very helpful in cases such as the reorganization o f a company, the repatriation o f control or sale to employees.

The law provides interesting oppor­ tunités to avoid heavy legislation but conditions can be quite strict.

Rates Returning North

by Madalena Colaço The increase in the Bank of Canada rate to 10.76 percent, its highest level in over 15 months, prompted major banks last week to follow the lead of the Canadian Imperial Bank o f Com­ merce and raise their prime rate from 11.00 to 11.5 percent. Prime rates, the interest banks charge on loans to their most credit worthy corporate clients, were increased by the Bank of Mon­ treal, the Bank of Nova Scotia, the Royal Bank and the Toronto Domi­ nion. Reaction this news registered im-

mediately on the Toronto Stock Ex­ change, where an estimated $2.1 billion was trimmed from the values of shares of listed Canadian companies.

The fears that rising interest rates, with their restraining effect on invest­ ment and personal spending, will seriously hamper economic growth were dimmed by Finance Minister Marc Lalonde who says he believes in­ terest rates will not increase sharply over the next few weeks. Meanwhile, Bank of Canada Governor General Gerald Bouey passes the buck (which

at is current low level should hardly cause concern) to the United States, blaming the massive U.S. deficit and robust economic growth for exerting upward pressure on rates in the U.S. and claiming that the Bank o f Canada has no responsible option except to let Canadian rates follow.

Apart from those pressures coming from outside, the ragging Canadian currency, currently trading at the 78C (U.S.) level, is generating its own negative effects on Canadian interest rates.

Dog Eat Dog Eat Dog Eat Dog Eat Dog Eat Dog

by Nicholas Gleckman Remember those Oil companies that seemed so enormous and indestructi­ ble? A pattern which began in 1981, when ELF Aquitain acquired Texasgulf for a mere $2.3 billion, has evolved into a voilent take-over race.

Leading the pack have been Dupont, Texaco and most recently Standard Oil of California which dished out $13.4 billion toward the purchase of Gulf.

The reason is clear; fightened by the reality o f dry wells and senseless drill­ ing despite billions of dollars spent on exploration, corporations are realzing that oil is more easily discovered in the reserves of existing oil companies than under Arctic ocean floors. During his hostile take-over attempt, T. Boone Pickens, chairman of Mesa Petroleum Corp. brought this fact to the attention

of Gulf shareholders by offering them the opportunity to benefit from a Royalty Trust, designed to create huge profits by “ dismantling” Gulf and li­ quidating its reserves.

Gulf was rescued by an offer from Atlantic Richfield which, having recently spun o ff most o f its diversified interests, was prepared to purchase Gulf (and its management) in an effort to increase its oil holdings. But no sooner were talks underway when Standard Oil of California topped the bidding with a staggering $13.4 billion creating the third largest corporation in America. Meanwhile, Getty, a name once synonymous with “ billionaire” and a company seemingly unownable, was bought by Texaco for $10.1 billion. But then again, a billion dollars isn’t what it used to be.

Financial Report

by Bing Lam The dollar: The Canadian dollar has been worth 80-82C U.S. for the past year. In early March it suddenly began dropping. In less than a month our dollar has fallen to 78<t compared with the American dollar.

The good news is that the cost o f Canadian goods will be more com­ petitive with those in the international market. This will result in more jobs and greater productivity. The bad news is that the price o f the products we im­ port will be higher.

Interest rates; Interest rates in the United States have risen. This is in response to Federal Reserve tightening of the Money Supply. The Bank of Canada

followed suit by increasing the prime by half a percent in order to defend the falling Canadian dollar.

The higher U.S. rates appear to be only temporary. Most of the in­ dustrialized nations are just beginning to climb back toward pre-recession production levels. At these high in­ terest rates, companies cannot afford to make major expansions. Third World nations may actually consider default if their hopes for a sustained economic recovery and better export incomes are not realized.

North American stock markets reflected this pessimistic outlook by the sharp selloff o f stocks in early February. One point remains evident: If current interest rates do not drop lower, we will be facing another reces­ sion.

The time is ripe for oil take-overs. In fact, fears of oil scarcity have even caused drillers o ff the shores o f New­ foundland to ignore weather warnings to halt operations. Two years ago, 84 workers aboard the Ocean Ranger died when the rig overturned during a storm. These poor drilling prospects have depressed the value of many com­ panies’ stocks making them “ cheaper” and thus the firms more vulnerable to

larger companies. Congress is also allowing many o f these take-overs to take place — Antitrust threat is weaker than might be expected.

It seems that no one wants to be left out. Pennzoil, claiming that it was somehow ripped-off by the TexacoGetty merger, has filed suit for the reasonable sum of $28 billion. I guess nobody is entirely without character.

Football Training Camp Opens

Redmen Hopes High For Coming Season

by Don Hogarth As the thoughts of most students turn to summer and escape from academia, the Redmen footballers have an upcoming season o f football on their minds. Despite the pressures of exams, team members found time for spring training last week in Currie Gym. Veteran Redmen who are returning next fall were summoned to the camp.

No new players were asked to take part. “ Skills, fundamentals and techni­

que , were the focus o f training last week said Coach Donny Wolfe, with “ individual rather than team improve­ ment” being stressed. Team play and strategy training will wait until the fall camp.

For next season Wolfe would like to “ improve scoring while maintaining a solid defense.” According to Wolfe the Redmen’s toughest competition this fall will come from “ a strong Concor­ dia squad, a proven and experienced Queen’s line-up and the vastly improv­ ed Carleton Ravens.”

MINI COURSE SURVEY The Students’ Society will be sponsoring a series o f mini-course (non-credit) during the fall semester. With your help, we will be able to offer those courses which most closely suit your interests.

To receive full information about the courses being offered, fill in your name and address below and then drop o ff or mail this form to the attention o f the Program Director, Students’ Society General Office, Room 105 , 3480 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1X9. Also, keep your eye on the McGill Tribune for further information in September.

The summer offers no rest or relaxa­ tion for Redmen returnees with each player training hard in individual pro­ grams. This should ensure a fit squad for the kick-off o f the fall camp on August 20th.

Meanwhile, Redmen coaching staff have been recruiting new talent mainly from Quebec CECEP’s and Ontario high schools in their bid to bring the Vanier Cup to McGill. In accordance with CIAU rules recruiting takes the form of mild persuasion rather than tangible incentives such as bursaries or

scholarships.

The combination of veteran skills, new talent and coaching efforts should add up to another great season of foot­ ball next fall at McGill.

Friday Night Special his athletic achievements.

The award caps an illustrious university career for Hudon. He became the hockey team’s first French-Canadian team captain in 82-83, and was named Redmen MVP in 81-82 and 82-83. Gilles became McGill’s first-ever Hockey Canada bursary recepient and represented McGill on the Canadian Olympic Team which participated at the prestigious Pravda Prize Tournament in Leningrad, USSR last spring — the only Quebec university player to be invited.

Hudon had left an athletic scholarship at the University of Wisconsin and played QMJHL hockey with Shawinigan before joining the Redmen in the second semester o f 80-81. In his first full season with the Red and White, he led the team in scoring (22-32-54) which set a single-season record for most points by a Redmen defenceman

and fell only one point short o f the all-time record. That year, he finished eighth in the league scoring race and was one vote short o f making the QUAA’s First All-Star team despite leading the league’s blueliners in scoring.

Hudon did, however, earn First Team recognition, for each o f the next two seasons, while leading the QUAA’s defencemen in scoring again in 82-83 and finishing only five points short of the leader this season. He graduates with an impressive fouryear totals of 130 games, 45 goals, 107 assists, and 152 points, and is believed to be the highest scoring defenceman in,McGill’s 102 year old hockey program.

He beat out Redman basketball Carlo Del Bosco, soccer’s Guy Marie Joseph, rugby’s Julian Loveday and swimmer Mac Teskey.
