Brodie Approves Fee Hike Conditionally

by Michèle Dupuis If tuition fees go up "the money should comefromthe government" said Ian Brodie at the all-candidates meeting last year just prior to his election asVice President External of McGill's Student Society.

On October 9 Brodie, StudSoc Presi­ dent Paul Pickersgill, and two members of the McGill Association of University Teachers (MAUT) will be presenting the only joint student-staff brief to the Parliamentary Commission on the Orientation and Financial Framework of Quebec's University System, for 1987-88 and Subsequent Years. Their brief will recommend an increase in tui­ tion fees of $430 in 1987-88 and subse­ quent yearly increases of $500 until the 1990-91 school year when fees will reach a $2500 ceiling.

Asked about his apparent turnaround Brodie replied that "the Systemcan have an increase in tuition and not affect ac­

cessibility to university if there are cer­ tain changestothe loan and bursary pro­ grams."

Questioned about the possibility of the government taking the proposal for a tuition fee increase and ignoring the de­ mand for the restructuring of the loans and bursaries system, Brodie replied, "it's a gamble."

However, the Brief, to be jointly sub­ mitted by Brodie, Pickersgill and two Professors, (Storres McCall, Philosophy and Hershey Warshawsky, Physiology) does not give any details about a revamped loan and bursary program. In­ stead, the report states that a new loan and bursary program should be the "subject of a separate review?*' However, it does go sofar asto suggest that the "review must provide for each university to administer its own financial aid program in accordance with the needs of its students." The Quebec Government currently handles most re­

quests for loans and bursaries for in­ province student^.

Brodie was asked by the T r ib u n e to outline what kinds of changes hewould make to the loans and bursary program should there be a separate review.

"Students away from home for one year who meet independent student re­ quirements would receive afull bursary for all living costs," he said. This would encompass rent, food, and clothing. The student would also beeligible for a loan to cover the tuition expenses he cannot cover himself.

When askedwhat hewould havewrit­ ten differently had there been aseparate student brief presented to the Commis­ sion, Brodie saidthat he"would havein­ cluded more detailed information on loans and bursaries." Brodie stated that he hoped that ajoint student-staff report would "carry more weight" and that was why it was undertaken.

McGill R econsiders Sports Site

by Melanie Clulow McGill's hopestoerect anewathletics facility adjacent to the existing Currie Gym may have to be replaced by prac­ tical alternatives. According to Sam Kingdon, Director of Physical Resources, "McGill will definitely have a new sports complex." The question is w h e re .

Theproposed oneacresite, located on the southwest corner of Mount Royal Park is protected by an arrangement which stipulates that the land cannot be sold unless the project andthe buyer are approved by both City Council and the National Assembly. A strong and wellorganized public opposition, led by the 'Friends of the Mountain' and the Durocher Residents Association against development on the mountain has con­ vinced the mayoral candidates in the November election to take a hard line on thé sale of park land.

Studsoc VP (External) Ian Brodie, however, remains somewhat optimistic.

He feels that with the whole McGill community supporting the athletics pro­ ject, the issue can be made a turning point in the election. He believes it is possible to obtain 12,000 McGill

signatures in favour of the complex — votes neither candidate can afford to lose. Like last years D a ily dispute, Brodie sees students taking an active in­ terest in an issue that involves their money and a potential improvement to services offered. McGill students have been paying $15.00 per student per year since 1982 towards the new complex.

"Basically, opposition to the athletic complex isjust ignorance,” says Brodie.

"When you explain the project to peo­ ple, who arediehard against it (the com­ plex will only be two storeys high) they generally understand and support it. We just have three million people in Mon­ treal to convince."

But as the November elections draw closer, it becomes less politically wise for either candidate to change his posi­ tion. The feasibility of a meeting bet­ ween the McGill community and the two candidates, proposed by a group of McGill student and administrative representatives looks hopeless.

Sam Kingdon sees opposition to the project asanextension of the sentiments of the groups who campaigned suc­ cessfully against the ski slope and com­ munications .tower proposals. "Those

who fought so hard against the tower couldn't allow exceptions for anyone," he said.

McGill offered a parcel of land runn­ ing behind Molson Hall and bordering the park in exchange for the required park land. Although this tract is perceiv­ ed by both Kingdon and Brodie as a more integral part of the mountain and thus more valuable than the land re­ quested, the offer was refused.

With opposition so strong, and little hope of convincing officials to approve the site, McGill is forced to consider its options. "At the moment there is no ac­ tion beingtaken by the University,” said Kingdon. "We are now reconsidering and not forcing the issue."

Possible alternatives include building on the East end of Molson Stadium, on the field to the south of the McConnell Hall or on top of the existing gym.

Kingdon acknowledges, however, that "these sites are all more expensive and less convenient from a users point of view. They are also not as aesthetically pleasing." Should these remaining op­ tions prove unfeasible, the funds will be usedto renovatethe present sportsfacili­ ty.

Studsoc Executive G ears Up Tribune News Staff "The fight is not over yet,” said VicePresident External Ian Brodie about the $100 course material chargeashe, Presi­ dent Paul Pickersgill, and Vice President Internal Lindsey Glasscowere interview­ ed separately by the Tribune as to their goals for the coming school year.

Brodie still believes that there is a chance of fighting the $3.33 per credit charge especially if tuition fees are rais­ ed after the Parliamentary Commission hearings this fall. Said Brodie, "there is an excellent chance of having them removed" should the tuitions increase.

According to Brodie, students taking less than five courses a semester will be entitled to a refund of $3.33 per credit.

Looking beyond McGill, Brodie's goals for the year include cooperating with other universities in Quebec to "br­ ing the world outside of McGill more in contact with what goes on inside McGill." Brodie sees this being ac­ complished by joining the student movement Regroupement des associa­ tions universitaires (RAEU). He sees this as a means of McGill "becoming more involved in provincial affairs."

Brodie also looks to the upgrading of McGill's public image as an important goal for the upcoming year. He stated that he saw McGill's performance over the athletics complex as contributing to McGill's "bad image" in the public eye.

McGill's policy manual, bylaws and newconstitution head upthe list of goals

for StudSoc President Paul Pickersgill.

According to Pickersgill, the policy manual iscompiled and iswaiting to be ratified by McGill's Student's Council.

The manual is an accumulation of the policy decisions made by the various councils over the last ten years.

Pickersgill hopes to see the new con­ stitution ratified by the Senate, an ad­ ministrative body of McGill University, by the second meeting. The new con­ stitution was voted on and accepted by last year's student body at the sametime as the election for the current StudSoc executive.

Theconstitution's bylaws arecurrently before Student's Council, according to Pickersgill. The Bylaws are those rules which outline the day-to-day business of StudSoc and its support staff. For exam­ ple, the bylaw laws set electoral guidelines and the responsibilities of various studsoc appointees liketheChief Returning Officer Pickersgill hopes to see the new con­ stitution ratified and the bylaws passed simultaneously.

Pickersgill sees completing the athletics complex as one of his goals for the year.

"I'm hoping to meet with both mayorality candidates to discuss the athletics complex. I haven't given up hope yet," he said.

StudSoc is currently looking at buying back a plot of land on the corner of Pine and Park avenues and erecting the new

complex there.

The T r ib u n e then asked Pickersgill to comment on his reported complaints about the Student Handbook. Pickersgill said that the "Of Interest" section was "based on opinion" and that he did not "want freshmen to think that that's how council feels on particular issues."

Pickersgill also pointed out the number of mistakes in the handbook and stated that they were probably dueto time con­ straints and the larger size of the hand­ book.

Pickersgill also cited the current publicity campaign undertaken by McGill's Student Society to make the public awareof thedrastic underfunding of Quebec's universities as one of his goals for the year. He saw this as the culmination of the preparations behind the Parliamentary Commission Brief to be presented by StudSoc and the McGill Association Of University Teachers fall.

Lindsey Glassco, Vice president Inter­ nal of StudSoc, cited communication within the university asthe main goal for the year in her interview with the T r ib u n e

"McGill needs a central information system" stated Glassco. She noted that by year's end there should be a pam­ phlet or brochure listing where to gofor detailed information. This brochure would be available throughout campus and would give information on continued on page 4

by Jennifer Mori On May 26 of this year, the Board of Governors passed a proposal to ter­ minate the position of student om­ budsman and to install afaculty member permanently in this post. The student society has been pushing for just such a change for years.

At McGill, an ombudsman acts as a middleman between students and the administration, counselling and advising students on their rights andcourse of ac­ tion in cases of complaint or grievance and mediating between the parties. Stu­ dent ombudsmen have had their advan­ tages and disadvantages; as students, they were perceived as being ap­ proachable and sympathetic, but as

N o

O m b u d s m a n

students, they had no formal powers, and so found it difficult to be taken seriously.

The Students' Society has been lobby­ ingthe permanent ombudsman proposal for several years before this year's deci­ sion. "Most Canadian universities have them," Irwin Gopnik, Dean of Students, told the T rib u n e , "the introduction of a

permanent ombudsman was a natural development." Gopnik felt that it was necessaryto haveafaculty member who has a better knowledge of the university administrative structure in the post, so­ meone who has more influence and who, therefore, can do more for the students.

The drawback to having a permanent

It's great to be a student again, even better now that it's all party and beer and no homework. Come to think of it, that's more or less how I spent my last termof duty as a business student at Ryerson and a journalism stint at the University of Wisconsin.

I am looking forward to the coming year here at McGill. I will be getting a chance to become acquainted with tomorrow's leaders today. In most cases I'll beseeingyouat your worst —embar­ rassingyourselves and squanderingyour

future political aspirations, hopefully ex­ clusively at Gert's and in the Alley.

Prior to this posting, I was a manager at the Magic Pan Restaurant in Les Ter­ rasses. I was the one at the door query­ ing "Section Fumeur ou Non-Fumeur?"

Before that I worked in advertising, marketing, and did some free lance writing. I havespent thefirst threeweeks of this job going over responses to last year's survey of What You Would Like To See In Terms Of Entertainment And Services InGerts and TheAlleythis year.

I plan to implement most of what the majority of you seem to want, most notably the re-hiring of Todd as a Gerts employee, andyes, young ladies, wedid forward him your phone numbers.

Entertainment in the Alley was refer­ redto byone pundit as"The Nuremberg

Trials." We will be working at turning the Alley into an entertainment alter­ native to Gerts which will appeal to a broader portion of the McGill popula­ tion. The most common suggestion regarding entertainment was a desire to seecomedythis year. In responsetothis,' we are planning to have a Comedy Amateur Night, commencing in early October on a weekly basis.

In order to give this venture a McGill flavour, I will be soliciting volunteers from the McGill community to join me in embarrassing myself.

I haveevery reasonto believe that this will be a memorable year, if only you will all relax, have fun, and spend the greater portion of you disposable in­ come at Gerts and The Alley.

Y e t

faculty ombudsman is that the student element of liaison is lost; students may not feel as free to confide in a faculty member as in astudent. Mary Liz Wiley, who was to have been one of this year's student ombudsmen had the post not been terminated, hopes that some form of student liaison will be maintained so that student links still exist between ad­

ministration and the student body. Ideal­ ly, the ombudsman should be someone entirely outside the university, but that development is still somewhere in the future.

Dean Gopnik feels that a permanent ombudsman will be a great improve­ ment over the temporary student posts.

Said Gopnik , "I'm enthusiastic."

The appointment will be made by Principal Johnson in October. Until then, theVice President of University Af­ fairs, Grace Ann Baker, will hold the post. The length of the appointment has not been fixed, but astipend of $10,000 per annum is presently under review by the Budgetary PlanningCommittee. Half of this sum will be funded by the Students' Society, the other half by the University.

Executive continued from page 3 everything from tuition fees and direc­ tions to information on studying abroad.

Glassco was also looking into a pam­ phlet on the Union Building "pretty definitely for next year," shesaid. Anew sign systemfor the Building isalso being looked into "for the future."

Glasscoalsonoted in the interviewthe new Ballroom leasing policy which she hopes will avoid the problems en­ countered last year in getting the Ballroom. "Peoplewere lining upat four

in the morning," she said. The new system is based on priorities. StudSoc has first priority followed by the clubs and then the faculty association.

Although Glassco did anticipate some problems with allocation of space among the clubs and other various groups within the Union Building, one problem shedid not anticipate was with the Daily.

"I was very pleased with the first issue," she said.

Welcome to McGill.

It's likely you've been hearing a lot of that over the last week or so, and in the frenzy of excitement and pink flam­ ingoes, you've forgotten toask. "What is McGill?" To some of you it may seem like anendless party, anatural extension of acarefree summer. To others, McGill might just beasteppingstonetoacareer filled with fame and fortune. However, in the flurry of pride and apprehension that accompany one's first days at McGill, it iseasyto overlookthefact that the students do not exist within a cosy academic vacuum. The university is composed of acomplex hierarchy of ad­ ministrators, professors, and students whocollectively havealot of sayin how we are educated, where our money goes, and whether or not we graduate.

The T rib u n e , as the weekly student voice on campus, realizes that it isoften difficult to even begin to understand the

apparently amorphous inner workings of the university alone. That's why, in our coverageof campus news andeventswe attempt to clarify for the uninitiated the ins and outs of Student Council, Senate, Board of Governors, etc., in the context of relevant issues at the university.

We are often asked here at the T rib why we concentrate to such an extent on campus politics. Well, there are two reasons. Firstly, we believe campus issues are important because they affect students directly and students do have the potential to changethings. Further to this, student involvement at the universi­ ty level can often lead to positive changes on a larger scale. Witness the success of the divestment campaign of the South Africa Committee last winter.

Secondly, we feel that once students have received objective facts about an issue and have formed their own opi­ nions, the T rib can help keepthemupto

date and inform them of the proper channels to follow should they wish to learn more or even actively effect change.

Thus, the T r ib u n e is not merely an organ of Students' Society, nor arewe its cheerleader. Rather we are a student newspaper with a responsibility to pro­ vide McGill students with accurate coverage of the important events at their university, and the autonomy to con­ structively criticize what we feel is un­ just and in need of change. Needless to say, the T r ib u n e runs on student-power.

New people are always welcome and needed to write articles, take pictures, do layout and design, and just generally help out. Sports, entertainment and features articles are as integral to the paper as arethe straight news stories, so there is always something for everyone.

So drop down to Room B-15 in the Union. You might find it hard to leave.

Guide To The Guides: A Tale of Two Handbooks

by Daron Westman Adam Quastel (editor), Student Hand­ book and Agenda 1986-87. Students' Society of McGill University, 1986, 172 pp., free.

Carla Gruodis (editor), The Handbook '86. Concordia University Students' Association, 1986, 224 pp., free.

When, still a callow youth, I applied for the position of editor of my undergraduate school's student hand­ book, the selection committee inter­ viewing me asked what theme I would choosefor the book if appointed editor. I was dumbfounded. ''Does the telephone book have a theme?” I countered, thinking that tlîe only job of a student handbook wasto present dry but necessary information in the clearest possible manner. But now, in the hands of Quastel and Gruodis, student hand­ books have definitely become an art formin their own right and deserveto be reviewed like any other form of literature.

(Let the reader beware: I did eventual­ ly become editor of the 1980-81 Bishop's University Student Handbook, but the administration impounded all copies of my book for two weeks, and a mob of students burned hundreds of copies when it was finally released, so I obviously don't know very much about student handbooks).

Thedifferences between thethemesof thesetwo books areevident fromacom­ parison of Gruodis' "forward," and the "editorial" which introduces Quastel's handbook. Gruodis haswritten atypical­ ly rah-rah pep speech about the need for school spirit at Concordia, with a red anarchist-feminist symbol incongruously and irrelevantly emblazoned across the text. In contrast, Quastel presents an in­ telligent and reasoned discussion of the role his handbook can play in the con­ text of student life, in the university and broader society.

And that is the difference between these two books in a nutshell: Gruodis

emphasizes flashy colour graphics and stylish lay-out at the expenseof informa­ tion, while Quastel's simple yet striking black and white design enhances, but does not overwhelm, an abundance of valuable material about life in the real world.

This difference is most apparent in the treatment thesebooksgiveto life outside the campus, a subject to which Quastel devotes 100 of 172 pages, but Gruodis only 33 of 224 pages. Thus, while Gruodis is almost asgood asQuastel on housing and books (although only Quastel includes French books and non­ campus libraries), she has nothing on health services off-campus, nothing on drugs, nothing on sexually-transmitted diseases, and markedly inferior material on abortion and contraception. Similar­ ly, shediscussesonly 26 restaurants and cafés, while Quastel has53, with special sections for breakfast places and afterhours hangouts. Furthermore, Quastel lists awide assortment of barsand clubs,

as well as rep theatres, museums, art galleries and music spots, which exist nowhere in Gruodis. Quaster isalsowell ahead of Gruodis with a piece on bikes in the city, although one could wish that he had covered two items Gruodis does: cheap record stores and second-hand clothes.

Quastel's emphasis on the broader aspects of life does not mean that he skimps on McGill material. Of course, Gruodis isableto include morecampusrelated details than he could (she did have fifty more pages), but Quastel mat­ ches her on most categories of general information. Quastel has more on university structures than Gruodis, but she out-does him with a wealth of material explaining registration, fees, and university forms. Again, Quastel in­ cludes more on the structures of Students' Society, but Gruodis prints the whole CUSA Constitution. And only Gruodis has a map of the university and material on how the university libraries function. Gruodis includes departmental societies as well as faculty societies, (which Quastel only lists), but Quastel has all the campus media while Gruodis considers only the main ones. The one area where Gruodis is markedly better

than Quastel is her women's section, where she discusses sexual harassment and sexism and rape much more fully than Quastel, (though Quastel lists more resources off-campus).

In over-all design Quastel wins hands down. His agenda is spread throughout the book, thus encouraging students to read the whole thing, while Gruodis' is stuck in the back of the book. His phone list includes off-campus numbers, he of­ fers much more space for students to list their own numbers (making the book a more-often-used one), and in general his book is much cleaner and clearer. Many of Gruodis' ads and graphics are so glossy they overwhelm the information.

Quastel has also kept most of his ads towards the back of the book and out of the way of the more important sections.

Furthermore, Quastel’s graphics and photographs, lessarty and lessbusy than Gruodis', areactually much more attrac­ tive than their garish and poorlyreproduced cousins at Concordia.

But then, I thought the telephone book was the state-of-the-art.

Welcome Week

The Pink and Plaid Pull It Off

by Trish Marlowe This year the McGill Programming Network, has brought together the past and present in aneffort to makeMcGill's Welcome Week a little different and a lot of fun. The mascot this year, the tartan-clad pink flamingo is, on the serious side, atribute to the University's founder, Scotsman James McGill. On the more casual side, the mascot is representative of the ever popular lawn ornament. Thetrendy pink flamingo has beenthe themeof*manyaparty, makesa cameoappearanceeachweek on Miami Vice, is produced at the rate of 15,000 sets per week by Tucker Plastics Co., and has finally landed at Welcome Week '86.

During the past week one could ''Court a Flamingo" at the annual Cour­ tyard Dance at RVC, "Get Flamingoed" at the PubCrawl or join the "Flamingoes in Flight" in an outing to Mont St. Sauveur. On Saturday, September 13, the flamingoes are feasting on all-youcan-eat spagetti, for the mere sum of $3.00.

Along with all the pink, tartan can be seen on the McGill campus by way of McGill's own version of the Celtic Fair.

In the true fair spirit, most events are staged outdoors. Today at 11 AM the Professional Highland Games Exhibition is to take place on Lower Campus, followed by the Shenanigans, a Montreal-based band specializing in Scottish Folk music. Tomorrow the pros will demonstratethe playing of bagpipes and Highland Dancing before we the students have our chance to compete.

The "Have a Scotch with Scotty" night at Gert's on Wednesday is perhaps stret­ ching the Scottish tradition alittle far but all those Star Trek fans are sure to be satisfied.

If neither of the themes impress you, there are many events that don't require the palate for the pink bird or the bagpipes. Every day the Open Air Pubis offering beer and barbecue on Lower Campus.

Christina Sbrocchi, the Chairman of the Welcome Week Committee, expects that this weekend should proveto bethe

highlight of the two week celebration.

The grand finale will begin Thursday night with the Laser Dance in the Ballroom. A spectacular show of light shall transform the Ballroom as the music rocks the Union Building. Friday night hosts the Fraternity Crawl for all those who enjoy mobile parties. If your preference is for something a little more stationary, Chalk Circle will be playing in the Ballroom. The Programming Board is very pleased to engage this Toronto-based band who, on August 15th was awarded the Casby Award for Best New Canadian Band. On Saturday, McGill will host Marty Putz and Bowser and Blue, comedians who partook inthe Just For Laughs Comedy Fest last July.

Madonna As Missionary?

Shanghai Surprise Insufferabl

By Barbro Dick Until recently, I didn't think anything could be worse than an actor turned singer. However Madonna's perfor­ mance in S h a n g h a i S u rp irs e hasexpand­ ed my horizons to realize that singer turned actor, or in this case actress, is just as bad.

As the lights came up, I was left with oneafter-thought which burned with the intensity of acute indigestion; that being, with musical successes numbering close to adozen, why can't this woman leave well enough alone?

Metro Goldwyn Mayer's S h a n g h a i S u rp ris e was in trouble from its incep­ tion. Producers, discontented with the original finished product and obviously unaware of the expresison "quit while you're ahead," postponed release for last minute cut and polish. Budget most likely prevented the complete overhaul which S h a n g h a i so desperately needs.

Based on the novel F a ra d a y 's F lo w e rs and directed by JimGoddard, S h a n g h a i S u rp ris e is set in Shanghai (surprised?) during the 1937 Japanese occupation.

The plot evolves around a fortune in opium, known as Faraday's Flowers, the prusuit of which keeps missionary Miss Tatlock (Madonna), tie salesman Glendon Wasey (Sean Penn) and various other oriental extras very busy. While the other contenders for the drug are spurred on by greed, Miss Tatlock wants the opium for the purpose of easing the many soldiers' pain. Now, had, say, Melissa Gilbert been cast as Miss Tatlock, this selflessnesswould becredi­ ble. But the M a te r ia l G ir l just can’t seem to separate herself from the Missionary Girl, thus all we see isademurely dress­ ed Madonna pretending to be L ik e A V irg in . Madonna better thank her L u c k y S ta r that she can sing because she sure can't act. Wasey is recruited by Tatlock to help in her quest. She ensures Wasey's con­ tinued support and aid by seducing him and thus placing hum under "obligation" to her. Now we all know why Papa's preaching. This movie is in trouble, deep. And I don't mean maybe.

Shanghai does have one or two

Film Society Less Commercial This Year

by Moira MacDonald Take your pick: one night you can be sentimentally romantic, another night be held spellbound by the thrill of a high­ speed car chase, and yet another be on your feet, dancing to the beat of T im e W a rp . And all for less than admission to $2.50 Tuesday.

Beginning Friday September 12, the McGill FilmSocietywill kick off its22nd seasonwith apresentationof P in k F lo y d : T h e W a ll. Films will be shown W ednes­ daythrough Saturdayand crossthespec­ trum from Woody Allen/Alfred Hit­ chcock retrospectives on Thursdays, to Repertory/Late Night Favourites on Saturdays.

Film Society president Sarah Kennedy is looking forward with anticipation to the 1986-87 year. Many hours were spent in negotiation with distributors, resulting in what looks to be a varied and exciting programme, with films all showing for $2 or $2.50.

This year's budget seems to be in

shape too. Kennedy credits this to the previous president, Kevin Davis who turned around the financial situation of the society from the 1984-85 season.

Prices will be $2 or if you find yourself really tight for cash, International Classics on Wednesday are your best bets, when the films will be shown free of charge.

The point of the Classics night, however, is not just to turn starving students' eyes from the textbook to the screen. The evening is also designed to attract people from outside McGill who might not otherwise venture past the Roddick Gates. In addition, the Film Society executives will be doing their homework by providing background to such films as N o s fe ra tu , A le x a n d e r N e v ­ s k y and N ig h t a n d Fog. Will there be as many commercial films as last year? According to Sarah Kennedy, "Frankly no." She feels that although she could show films that are sureto generate revenue, "That's not the

role of the Film Society." If the group can break even, shewill be satisfied —a slight surplus will be appreciated, but not expected.

The Society also offers memberships to students for $5.00 which, coupled with some volunteer work, will admit themfree to all screenings. Members of the public may also sample some of the offerings by attending Open House on September 27. Three films will be shown for free: T h e T h ir d M a n , h iis G ir l F rid a y , and G ra n d Illu s io n s (enfrançais).

The only negative aspect of all this is that most presentations will be in the Leacock Building, where drinking and eatingareprohibited. Sorry kids, nopop­ corn. But you'll probably be soengross­ ed you won't even miss it. See'ya in the dark.

Then One Day Lacks Originality

by Heather Clancy I'll admit it, my technical knowledge of music could fit on apieceof paper the size of a guitar pick, but it doesn't take an expert to discern that T h e n O n e D a y 's first release, "Style Life," is a pro­ duct of a band still in transition.

T h e n O n e D a y was born here in Mon­ treal sometime in thefall of '85, and like many newMontreal bands hasplayed at such clubs as Le Steppe and Station 10.

They've also been asked to be on the soon-to-be-released VOT Records com­

Minds guitar sound in "She's Feeling Pretty." It's not to saythe music isoffen­ sive, it just isn't unique.

The most promising song on the miniEPisthe title track "Style Life." Thesim­ ple instrumentals (bass, guitar, drums) are pleasing to the ear and attract atten­ tion (as in all cuts of the record), even if

pilation, Listen II. The "four-man band" (Andre Allore, JimRennie, Paul Cantous and Terry Armstrong) began recording their three song mini-EP in March of 1986 and released it under their own label, World Wide. (Looking toward the future?)

Unfortunately there's really nothing new about the music on this new release. The band claims to play "punky, bluesy, reggae-ish rock" and reveals strong English Beat influences along with a recondensed U2/Simple

the vocals don't quite seemto mesh.

The third song, "Catch Me If You Can” isanother tune about the complex­ ity of the gameof love. Itsoverly catchy, repetitive lyrics make it the most disap­ pointing composition on this piece of vinyl.

Radio McGill Cornin' At Ya

by Martha-Marie Kleinhans You just don't seemto get away from it! Everywhere you go — Gert's, the cafeteria, Redpath library, BishopMoun­ tain Hall —you hear it! "And you're listeningto CFRM—RadioMcGill, 91.7 on your cable FMdial." "But if they're on FM, why are they broadcasting all over the McGill campus?"

Because Radio McGill belongs to all McGill students. Although we are awaiting our hearing with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunica­ tion Commission (C.R.T.C.) to see if we can go on FM, the red tape is plentiful and an answer is at least six months away. Until then however, Radio McGill is moving full steamahead to make sure both new and returning students know that we exist. Over the summer, all on-

campus speaker locations were overhauled in order to provide the McGill population with the diverse listening it craves.

A typical day of listening might in­ clude such pleasures as an entertain­ ment listings show, a discussion with your favorite band, an update on Third World Music, some radio drama or a McGill football game broadcast; and everyday you can count on hearing classical, reggae and jazz music aswell as regular musical shows featuring the best in alternative music.

Radio McGill defines its programming as alternative. Although at first you might shy away from this label, what it means is that the programme schedule weoffer isatestament to what ispresent­ ly misssing in Montréal radio. To this

end, the goal of our radiostation isto en­ courage students, both through passive listening and active participation, to ex­ plore their potential as members of the diverse and varied community found at McGill.

Although listenership is our greatest reward, we are continually filling staff positions in newscasting, dj'ing, sports commentating and engineering. This year we are also looking for more literary-minded souls to contribute to our programme guide (KRAK), which is the written representative of Radio McGill.

Currently RadioMcGill iscornin' at ya throughout campus. With luck, it will soon invade your home.

day's in June —you remember Ann — and all the rest of the Junes were pretty boring. They were too cool to get in to it but ohl Ann! Therewas this one guy. He had black hair, it was long and really nice and a square jaw...Anyway...

Anyway next, Playfair proved that she knewthat weweren't children by having us make our "first existential decision": that of raising our left thumb or right first in order to find two partners of similar hand gesture.

In our groups of three, we lifted each other in the air and pretended that we were planets, tigers, or cowboys. We danced backwards, insulted each other, and gave ourselves standing ovations.

She first had us scream out our bir- Thestandingovations wereatrip. At this months and locate those with similar point we were all cross-legged on the rthmonths. Each month then formed a floor wondering what would be next.

Playfair ordered standing ovations for iman chair which metamorphosed inanyonewho wanted them. All we hadto a human centipede when Playfair told do was jump up and ask for one. She î to walk while seated. Well, my birth­

No Need to Fear This

Freshmen: The Young and Untested ;ar Ann, Hi. Well, my first week at McGill is jwing to aclose. It's pretty wild here, ith the exception of one reception for of usfreshmen, life hasbeen one parafter another.

DnWednesday night, several hundred shmen edged their way into the stu­ nt union ballroom. We were greeted th punch, donuts, enthusiastic lunteers, and this woman who called rself Playfair. Introduced as a McGill iduate (ohwow, amI goingtoturn out e her?), she travels to college camises everywhere, making embarrassed oups like usfeel even moreembarrass-

said they were good anytime, any place.

I wonder what would happen if I asked for one during class??

We reformed our groups again. 1was still with the Junes, Ann, sothings were still kind of, you know, coool...Square Jawdisappeared into the crowd...

Playfair ended her session by leading us in agroup McGill cheer.

All in all, Playfair was a success. She got the freshmen acquainted with each other. Maybe if I bump intothat guy in a class, I can now introduce myself with, "Hi, remember me? You massaged my back on Wednesday night." It was fun, in agoofyway. I wonder if the rest of the year will be like this...

So Ann, please write soon. I need something else to read besides fliers for parties.

Love, SKL

The Potency Of Cheap Music

by Colin Hainsworth ' " E x tra o rd in a ry h o w p o te n t m u s ic i s " —Noel Coward 1943

cheap

Not many people I know would turn down an offer of four albums, no matter howobscuretheartist (after all, writing a short review on them isn't such a large price to pay). But whereto begin?Which to choose first?

And then my eye caught some lyrics on the back of Floy Joy's new album Weak In the Presence of Beauty:

T h e to w n is d r y

We c a n 't

g e t h ig h .

So w e 'r e liv in g o n o u r n e rve s Yes w e 'r e J iv in g o n o u r n e rv e s I w a s ju s t I w a s ju s t I w a s ju s t I w a s ju s t T o o d r u n k to fu n k T o o d ru n k .

Howcould I resist?Caught by the cheap association, I flung the record on the turntable.

FloyJoymay be looselydescribed asa funk group. (Manyof thesongssound in­ terestingly like the Police's "Every BreathYouTake.") Thetrio "seeking...to further their fractured dance vision," in­ cludes Desy Cambell, Michael Ward (founding member) and Robert E. Clarke. Most of the songs aren't very memorable, with the surprising excep­

tion of the tune mentioned above, "Too Drunk To Funk." It is more playful than the other compositions, highly amusing (as I'm sure it was intended to be). * * * * * * * * *

A 12-inch single by The Flying Picketts became my second selection. There were no written lyrics to seduce me here, only a basic knowledge that the group achieves a sound similar to the harmony of a barbershop quartet. This effort by the six-member group contains four songs including "Groovin," "Sum­ mer at Home," "Sealed With a Kiss" and "Summer in the City." The Flying Picketts have fun while singing and they a re talented musicians (in the moretradi­ tional sense). "Summer at Home" was my favorite here, punctuated with in­ teresting soundeffects (all created vocal­ ly)-

*********

The album by a group called Suburbs (I think they're fromMinneapolis) wasof quite a different caliber). The listener's first thought is that the vocalist sounds like someone else (with a little cerebral effort I decided upon Lou Reed). After three songs which sound exactly alike, one realizes that the instrumentals are overtly repetitive. The instrumentals of this album demonstrate very little flex­ ibility or variety. The simple chord se­ quence used in the majority of the songs becomes annoying at best. One fares better when he looks past the music,to the lyrics. It was in this fashion that I

decided upon the best track of the album. "N°.9" is a sardonic tune about a young man's relationship with his girlfriend. At one point the narrator describes himself with this line: "On th e s u rfa c e I w a s s h y , u n d e rn e a th I w a s s ly , u n le a s h e d a n d u n d e r f e d ." If there doesn't seem to be a lot of thought behind the music itself, at least the lyrics demonstrate a sense of humor. *********

Last (and least) of the albums was John­ nie Lovesin's T o u g h B re a ks. (Its tacky cover was sufficient reason for me to place it at the bottom of the stack im­ mediately.) If the grating guitars in the Suburbs album were distressing, the lyrics on this album were even more redundant. Lovesin's music can best be described as syrupy pop, the type that can bedanced to easily but says reatively little new. The ballad "She's a Woman Tonight" seems to be the most meaningful song on the album (indeed, it is dedicated to a specific person). ********* None of thesealbums seeksto createa sound which ismusically progressive.

(Although there is obvious talent on the Picketts' record.) And will any of these songs become hits? Let's just say I'm glad I didn't haveto pay for any of them (even though the albums make my record collection look larger). Curiosity wears off during the first play, to be replaced by boredom (not a very potent formula), and there is no desireto take a second dose.
