International Students’ Week...

by Anne Slater McGill is undoubtedly one of the most cosmopolitan universities in all of North America. Unfortunately, many of us are unaware of the cultural aspects of the various ethnic groups represented on campus. The Interna­ tional Students Association hopes to change this situation. This week, November 14 through 19 will be filled with activities to celebrate Interna­ tional Students Week. In the past few years there has not been an Interna­ tional Students week at McGill. The I.S.A. hopes that this year’s events will be a success and International Students Week will become a tradition.

Exhibits, displays and slide shows will be displayed in Rooms 107 and 108 of the University Centre, today through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Today the African, Arab and Ira­ nian Student Societies will display their exhibits. The Pakistanian, Lebanese,

Indian and Korean exhibits will be displayed on Wednesday. The Chinese, Malaysian and Singapore, Indonesian and Vietnamese Student Societies will be featured on Thursday. And the Caribbean and Latin American Stu­ dent Societies will have their day on Friday.

In the evening, Wednesday through Saturday, parties will be held in the University Centre.

On Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m., the Hellenic Association will present KAFENEIO, a coffee shop with Greek music. Admission is free. The Arab Students Association will hold an Arab Get-Together party at 8 p.m. Thursday night. Both parties will take place in Rooms 107/108 of the University Cen­ tre.

Thursday night, the Chinese Students Society will present movies in F.D.A.A. at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. At 8:30 p.m. there will be a Fiesta in Gerts

II, sponsored by the Latin American Society and the Hispanic Studies Students’ Association.

From 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, the Ira­ nian Students’ Association will hold a Backgammon Tournament in the I.S.A. Office (B15). Bring your own set if you can. In Gerts II at 8 p.m., there will be an A fro-A sian

INSURRECTION!

by Sherif Nematalla Prior to the next Council meeting, the Tribune has obtained a report on The Inquiry Into The September 13th Insurrection In The Gallery.

During a meeting in mid September, the Council wished to attend to some confidential business and informed the gallery of its desire to move into an ex­ ecutive session. The Council voted by a two-thirds majority to enter into an ex­ ecutive session, and accordingly asked

Advertising: Merely A Business Decision?

by Sarah Chisholm The question of advertising is the most recent issue to raise its head within the ranks of Students’ Council.

A consequent division of opinion over the principles of advertising has become evident.

The action which sparked this debate was the placement of an advertisement, by the McGill Program Board, in the most recent edition of The McGill Magazine. At the Students’ Council meeting of October 26, Peter Dotsikas, Arts’ Senator, voiced the opinion that the advertisement suggests Students’ Council endorses the views of The McGill Magazine and of its editor, Lin­ da Frum. Dotsikas wants to disassociate the Students’ Council from the views of The McGill Magazine by discontinuing advertising in said publication by any organiza­ tions supported by the Students’ Socie­ ty.

Dotsikas was supported by Patrick Gagnon, Vice President External, who raised a motion for the discontinuation of advertising in both The McGill Magazine and The Plumbers’ Pot. The motion for a firm policy of advertising did not carry, and will not be entered on the Students’ Council agenda for the November 16 meeting.

This was largely due to the opposi­ tion of Lisette Noodleman, the Vice President Internal of the Students’ Society. Noodleman sees advertising solely as a business practice, aimed at reaching the many different segments of the McGill student body. She stress­

ed that personal ideologies shouldn’t interfere with business practice and that as many different media as posssible should be utilized.

Dotsikas is in favour of pushing the issue to establish a firm policy for advertising. However, if it is pursued, this will mean an examination of all the publications used by the Students’ Society for advertising. This list will in­

dance/concert UMOJHA. This event is sponsered by the African Students Association. From 9 p.m. - 3 a.m., the Chinese Students Society will hold a semi-formal dance at the Park Hotel (3625 Park Ave.).

Throughout this week, Radio McGill will play the music of various na­ tionalities represented on campus.

evitably include The McGill Daily, although Dotsikas maintains that the approach of “ selective advertising” should not be taken against a publica­ tion financially supported by the students. It is apparent that establishing a firm advertising policy would be plagued with the ambiguities of personal ideologies and financial commitments.

those members of the gallery to leave.

Five students of the gallery refused to leave the meeting and proceeded to hinder the Council’s business. Student Security was unavailable at the time and the meeting had to be moved to another location.

Immediately following this incident, an ad hoc committee was formed con­ sisting of Marcy Vigoda, Peter Dot­ sikas, and Amalia Martinez. The com­ mittee’s role was to be to take measures against any individuals in the future who might choose not to respect Coun­ cil or Students’ Society.

In a one page report, Peter Dotsikas recommends the Dean of Students and the Senate Discipline Committee avail appropriate action against the members who refused to respect coun­ cil’s Constitutional right to confiden­ tiality. Dotsikas believes that “ If we have any respect for Students’ Society and the decisions of Council we should not ignore the incident, but should take action against these individuals” .

Shortly after the Dotsikas report, a second report was submitted by Marcy Vigoda, recommending that no disciplinary action be taken against those individuals who refused to leave the gallery at the September 13 meeting, but rather that a policy be ap­ propriated to dissuade any such recur­ rences.

Council will be asked, at tomorrow night’s meeting, what the firm ap­ proach on future recurrence of displinary problems should be.

The Rauca Case

by Anne Slater On June 17, 1982, in the quiet Toronto suburb of Willowdale, a 73-year-old Canadian citizen was ar­ rested by the RCMP. Helmut Rauca, a former Nazi SS officer, was charged for aiding and abetting the murder of 10,500 Jewish men, women and children of the 28th day of October, 1941, at Kaunas, Lithuania. The RCMP arrested Rauca in response to a request by the government of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Rauca appealed the extradition order on the grounds that he, as a Canadian citizen, could not be forced to leave Canada under the new con­ stitution. At no point did Rauca or his lawyer deny the charges or dispute the evidence. On May 13, 1983 Rauca abandoned his appeal. Later that month he was extradited to West Ger­ many. In October, Rauca was charged in Frankfurt. However, the case never came to trial since Rauca died soon

after.

Sol Littman, a journalist who has worked for the Toronto Star and CBC Newshour, covered Rauca’s Canadian trial from start to finish. Littman inter­ viewed anyone he could find who had been connected with Rauca. Littman’s book “War Criminal on Trial” is an incisive account of Rauca’s actions as an SS master seargent in the “Einzatzgruppen” police units.

The Amos Tuck School of Business Administra­ tion is the oldest graduate school of business in the United States. It was founded at Dartmouth Col­ lege in 1900 and continues to be a leader in the business of educating managers. From its incep­ tion, Tuck School has offered only the Masters Degree. This exclusive focus, combined with its small size, offers a personalized approach to pro­ fessional management education which is distinc­ tive among the leading business schools. The residential nature of the program and close student-faculty interaction further enhance the quality of the learning experience.

Tuck school is living proof that a leading business school need not be located in a big city While Executives-in-Residence and other representatives of the business community form a steady stream of visitors to the School, Tuck students enjoy the fine facilities of Dartmouth Col­ lege in the beautiful New England setting of Hanover, NH. The problems of city life can be put aside — at least temporarily — in favour of a c a d e m ic c o n c e rn s .

During the past year, more than 160 companies sent representatives to Tuck to recruit from its 140 graduating students. (A Placement Report is in­ cluded in the Tuck Bulletin.) And each year, 25 managers from industry come to Career Expo, a two-day symposium, to share their knowledge and experience in their respective fields.

Numerous guest speakers participate in theclassroom throughout the year, and distinguished overseers contribute their expertise to the direc­ tion of the School.

Access to Boston and New York is easy. Both cities are served by interstate highways, bus and airlines. Amtrak provides service to and from New York from Lebanon, NH, a few miles from Hanover.

Nicholas Nickleby

by Teresa Fay The department of English opens its 1983-84 season November 16 with the stage production of Charles Dickens’ N ich o la s N ic k le b y . The play will run from Wednesday to Sundat, November 16-20, and 23-27.

McGill University is fortunate to be the first Canadian educational institu­ tion to acquire the rights to Richard Ouzountian’s Canadian adaptation of the novel. This production will also make its first appearance in Québec.

Direction is by Brenda Anderson, who has been the director of the Drama Program for the last two years, and is responsible for such successful presentations as last year’s The Im p o r­ ta n ce o f B eing E arn est. In speaking with Brenda Anderson, I was surprised to learn of their decision to do N ich o la s N ic k le b y , which was reached as early as last May, with preliminary organization starting immediately afterward.

This year’s production is one of the largest, in terms of manpower, that the English Department has attempted.

With over 80 people involved in bring­ ing this presentation to the stage, it has proven to be a “heavily participatory” undertaking with its success depending on everyone’s cooperation.

The cast is made up of 31 players, who have been in rehersal since September 20. Each portrays more than one character. This challenge was eagerly met by all the players who viewed the many costume and role changes as an opportunity to test and stretch their acting talents.

Professor Anderson believes N ich o la s N ic k le b y to be Dickens’ most theatrical novel; it lends itself best to the stage. The production will follow D ickens’ story faith fu lly. All characterizations are based on infor­ mation taken from the novel, and nine­ ty percent of the dialouge is in the author’s own words. Anderson also sees this shorter version as advan­ tageous because it eliminates the con­ fusing sub-plots of the longer version, and allows the story to move at a faster pace without taking anything away from the main storyline.

The presentation will prove to be a positive, enjoyable family-oriented show. It tells the story of a family fac­ ing the problems of unemployment and separation, and finding strength in the support and security of the family unit, in Close personal rciaiiuiiMiipa. li ucaia

The many set changes are ac­ complished through the use of a plat­ form stage and several role dropscenes. These ingenious devices will allow the story to proceed without an­ noying and unnecessary interruptions.

The sets and costume designs were created by Marie Dumas, a native Montrealer, and graduate of the Na­ tional Theatre School.

Some additions were made to the show since its Canadian opening, in Manitoba; including songs and live, in­ cidental music, by Bob Burman and Jan Richman, with lyrics by Jan Richman, an occasional freelancer for CBC Radio.

by M. Telik As a native of the West Coast who has attended McGill these past four years, the importance of fashion in this city has always fascinated me. In British Columbia— and arrogant Mon­ tréalais would say everywhere else in Canada—this preoccupation with the look sim ply does not exist, ly natural that I, having always con­ sidered myself fashion conscious, should have been struck by its predominance upon arriving in Mon­ treal. ****** --r ~

the amazing regularity with which female Montreal changes its style of dress. The McGill community does the same within tighter “ Le Chateau” budgets. Let me remind all you other clothes hounds of glories past and closets full.

vasion but I have yet to run into any Issey Miyake clones on campus. Black hair, black rubber-soled shoes and lots of minis are a few tentative observa­ tions on fall 1983.

A final note. You may have noticed that female fashions have figured predominantly in my description of changing dress. The men of Montreal and McGill obviously do not keep tren­ dy boutiques on St. Catherine St. in business. Male fashions —with some exceptions— have remained very much the same over the past four years: straight-leg pants, Lacoste shirts (preferably the real thing), loafers and a blouson-style jacket have remained de-rigueur for several seasons now.

After all that has been written about equality between the sexes, differentia­ tion on the basis of spending and in­ terest in fashion remains ever a cons­ tant. Isn’t it time for men to catch up?

Maybe for women to slow down?

Montreal-tight jeans. Spring of 1981 was a new shade — khaki. Remember Chateaujungle? Leopard-print shirts and zippered pants?

The next fall khaki was eclipsed by gold! silver! bronze! Gertrude’s was teeming with women whose heads were enclosed by a headband, knees barely covered by knickers and dripping with imitation metallics.

Last year’s trend was less obvious — possibly a reflection of tougher economic times. Yet several new looks came upon the scene coloured jeans, leather, minis, and more prep than ever. This summer, St. Catherine St. seemed covered with drop-waist dresses and minis.

And now another fall has rolled along, my fourth in which to observe Montreal and McGill fashion. Media attention is focused on the Japanese in­

Refiner’s Fire Editor-In-Chief The McGill Tribune I have discovered an intelligent form of apathy.

To explain, my Microbiology lab has once again spoken, and the verdict is that they don’t give a damn about the workers’ strike here at McGill. As far as they’re concerned, it’s an exercise in futility.

Personally, I couldn’t agree more. Striking is certainly not a method that should be employed to settle labour differences in these progressive times. Common sense (which I am told is lacking from my character) suggests that integration, also known as collaboration, is the best method for solving any conflict. It mav take loneer. but it forces all parties to the conflict to recognize the abilities and strengths of others, it provides for well-prepared positions, and it emphasizes the solution to the problems at hand, rather than the defending of particular positions. Ultimately, the best of the group’s thinking will emerge, and it is assumed that the whole of the group’s effort exceeds the sum of individual member contributions. When a solution from this ap­ proach is implemented, hard feelings rarely arise, as both sides are generally pleased with the agreement.

To change the slant of this comment somewhat, important concerns must be rais­ ed. People are suffering as a result of this labour action. One microbiology lab part­ ner revealed that the residences are becoming particularly pig-styish, and noted that the bathrooms are most certainly suffering from under-attention and bacterial contamination (which, to a microbiologist, is of particular interest!). Another gentleman said that he was pleasantly surprised the other day when a young lady marched into the men’s room. He thought he was about to be propositioned. She asked for a spare roll of toilet paper.

Mail is another serious problem. Steven Matthews, in his role as President of the Inter-Residence Council, explained to yours truly that postal workers and delivery personnel have thus far refused to cross the picket lines. As well, mail seems to be sorted on campus by the very unionized employees who are on strike. Not only does the Tribune not get your letters- the residence students, who may be depending on that cheque from Mom and Dad, don’t get their mail. A frightening scenario comes to mind: some unfortunates might run out of money completely. In that case, what is done?

Residence students are also affected by the interruption of cafeteria services, and are forced to find their meals elsewhere. Brian Todd, one of the Executive Editors of the Tribune, explained to me tht students eat onbly out of necessity, not for pleasure(residence food for pleasure? Yuk!), and do it because the food has been prepared for them. In being forced to' find their own meals, the nutritional quality at the residences has decreased, as many students are too busy partying (or studying!) to really bother. The lock-out/strike of Steinberg’s and Provigo have certainly not helped, and as a result, our comrades are forced to purchase their provisions at highly-inflated prices of the dépanneurs. With only$ 10.00 per day returned to the students by the Administration, I’m sure tht there are a number of gaunt students out there. The people profitting from all this are the owners of the dépanneurs, who must be laughing their way to the banks. Maybe we at the Tribune will finally per­ suade these dépanneurs to advertise in our journal, reinvesting their profit in McGill. As well, maybe we’ll get the dépanneurs to contribute to the McGill Ad­ vancement Program. It’s the least they could do...

The time has come to do something about it. If I had the money, I would hire a lawyer to challenge the Administration on the paltry return of $10.00 per day. The Administration must provide a brief, explaining theis preposterous figure. As well, a special fund should be established, with the sole purpose of providing those students, inconvenienced by a strike in the future, with the financial wherewithal to survive. Finally, administration officers ought to volunteer for latrine duty, in order to fulfill the University’s obligations to students. Cleaning the toilets ... with toothbrushes ...

T H E F IN A L W O R D : I really resent my classes being interrupted by the persistent inconsiderate louts who seem to be intent on getting students to join the strike’s cause. Such interruptions are a waste of time and money. I am a firm believer in the capitalistic system, and I demand what I paid for: instruction in molecular biology, microbiology, and other related disciplines. I certainly don’t expect lessons on strike tactics. These interuptions must be halted-by any means at the University’s disposal.

The Cutting Edge

Editor-in-chief

by Nick Bogdanos

Once again our community of students, faculty and staff have col­ laborated in a successful Open House for the people of Montreal. Held every third year since 1953, this event brings the university to the community as no other method could possibly do.

This year “ McGill Fest/McGill Fête” brought to campus more than 75,000 Montrealers under three days of sunny skies. 1500 schoolchildren came in organized tours, as did many hun­ dreds of CEGEP students.

Evaluations completed by visitors in­ dicate almost unanimous enthusiasm for the event. Evaluations by those who planned and manned the exhibi­ tions are still to be received and studied. All who participated will share the results of these evaluations.

To all who helped make this event possible, I extend my warm personal thanks for a job well done.

Yours sincerely, David L. Johnston

Damaged caused to the International Students Association (ISA) by Ms. Lisette Noodleman, Vice-President In­ ternal, and Mr. Bruce Hicks, President with the collaboration of McGill Tribune is irrepairable. uvvuuov v/l tllV 111UU11C& news, ‘Investigation on ISA’, the role and status of ISA, unfortunately has fallen into the distrust and disbelief of imaginative and unimaginative dreams of various responsible authorities in McGill. Delibrate delay in the approval of ISA annual budget and further clarification from Students Council the rest of public at McGill has clouded ISA into a kind of uncertainty of disbelief which is hard to accept by heart. Therefore keeping in view these hardships on a foreign land the best thing I could do that I strongly protest the mishandling of ISA by irresponsi­ ble students leaders and hereby resign from the responsibilities of the Chair effective from the day the Students Coundicl meets next week (Wed.

Beacon on the Hill

by Ravi Durvasula

In earlier days, there were timelimited skill testing questions. They en­ sured that the winners of public con­ tests sponsored by breakfast cereal cor­ porations had not only the requisite amount of luck, but also the vital skills to be worthy of the ten speed bikes, electric can openers, or Wham-O frisbees which they had won. Thus, if, by the benevolence of fate, you were the chosen one in whose box of Sugar Pops the magic win-sticker was hidden, or even if you were clever enough to buy the forty thousand boxes of cereal until you won, the game was not yet over. Ninety seconds of grueling mathematical calculations remained before you could be deemed, by a panel of judges, skilled enough to receive the prize.

Given this time-limited method of days past, I recoil in horror at the ap­ proach taken in the latest Kellogg’s Corn Flakes contest, the “ Win Breakfast in Beautiful Hawaii” sweepstakes. Apart from the grand prizes which no one ever seems to win, there is the usual cornucooia of household apliances being offered as other prizes in this giveaway. To claim your prize, you are still required to answer a skill-testing question.

However, there is no stipulated time limit. The question is printed on the back of the box and must be completed correctly and mailed to Saint John, New Brunswick.

The question I ask is simply this: where lies the skill in such an opera­ tion? Better yet, is there any skill in such' an operation?

Think back, if you will, to the time-

limited question. There was an infalli­ ble method of separating the fit from the unfit. The ninety second constraint brought out the best in men and women, for the most highly skilled were those who could drop the phone receiver, run to the nearest calculator, punch out the desired operations and return with the correct answer, all in the given time limit. A neighbor of mine, who won such contests frequent­ ly, was particularly adept at this routine. Watching her vault kitchen counters and mow down her husband and children to get to the calculator in time would fill me with a sense of awe.

“There,” I would say to myself, “is a highly skilled woman. She deserves the free Moulinex food processor.”

Today’s winners, however, are not worthy of the seven-speed blenders and clean-water-makers which await them in specially marked boxes of Corn Flakes and other assorted products.

The leisure afforded by the new ap­ proach eliminates the frenzy and the likelihood of hitting the wrong buttons or tripping over kitchen furniture.

In short, society’s free kitchen ap­ pliances are falling into the hands of undeserving louts, people incapable of even the simplest displays of skill. So, apart from the declining standards of our educational systems and the reduc­ ed need fr intellectual thought from the common man, we must now put up with the erosion of the skill testing question. This, I contend, is the pro­ verbial straw and must be stopped.

Let’s put the skill back into the skill testing question. ♦f * *

Still up in the air are the ques­ tions about depth on this young team which carries 6 rookies.

To this point all have seen a fair amount of floor-time, and have produced when called upon — a promising sign at this early stage of the season.

Sports Round-Up Second Varsity Bash Football Playoffs On Thursday, October 20, the second annual Red and White Varsity Bash was set up, put away, and generally hosted by the Redmen Hockey team, under the auspices of the Women’s and Men’s Inter­ collegiate Sports’ Council.

There was beer, pizza, music, and dimmed lights, all con­ ducive to a fun time. For those with the stamina to stay past midnight, the night turned into a real party, deemed a success for the second year running.

Vilhelm Boggild, who in previous years could usually be found as M cG ill’s only backcourt guard on the floor.

The ‘new-look’ offence, which puts to use McGill’s 3 returning veteran guards, should set Vilhelm free to act more often as a swing guard, so fans can thus expect to see a consistent show of his high-percentage shooting. Rounding off the trio of returning veteran guards, is Claude “ the thief” Briere whose quick hands and spedy transition game has been setting the pace.

What does it all add up to?

Exciting basketball, an allaround faster running and gun­ ning Redmen team — paced by the guards and combined with the d o m in a tin g inside prescence

Redmen Soccer striker Hisham Abdel-Rahman finally got his name in the papers, when he was named CIAU Athlete-of-the-Week for the week of October 26, after his seven goal romp over Trois Rivières. In the process, he also set QUAA and CIAU scoring records, beating out last year’s record of 12 (set by Dickens St.-Vil), by two, for a total of 14. Half his goals in one game... and as top scorer in both QUAA and the CIAU, Hish did it in the very last league game! !

Also named CIAU athletes last week, were Guy-Marie Joseph, Marc Noë, Dickens St.-Vil, and Aldo Braccio.

In OQIFC semi-final action, McGill took on Concordia, at Concordia, on October 29, and beat them 22:21, in the last minute of play. The next weekend, the Redmen travelled down to Queen’s for the OQIFC Finals, but lost 36:5, to the Golden Gaels. All in all, this season was a successful one, considering it was anticipated to be a rebuilding season.

Field Hockey Ends The Martlets Field Hockey season is over, with the Martlets being eliminated in the OWIAA finals, at U of T. They lost to McMaster, 2:1, and thus lost the opportunity to continue to the National finals. The week of October 19, at the end of regular season play, saw the Martlets ranked tenth in the country, thus making the ‘Top Ten’ for the second time this year.

by Chas The tenth annual Covo Cup, played November 5, was a day many will remember. The Cup was first awarded in 1974 to commemorate the 100th an­ niversary of the first Rugby Football match played in North America (1874) between Har­ vard and McGill. Since the first presentation of the Covo Cup, Harvard leads the annual series 5-4. Thus, it was to the quagmire of a pitch, that McGill took to even the series.

With the footing being precarious, a battle ensued amongst the forwards, where experience is always a factor. In the opening ten minutes, Har­ vard pressed deep into McGill territory. The Med contingent of Wayne Colizza and Marcel Dore stabilized the pack such that Chuck Knirsch was able to take advantage of a Harvard miscue on a lineout and make the score McGill 4: Harvard 0.
