Fraternities on Brink of Eviction

by J.N . Wong The McGill Administration will present a plan to the Board of Govenors (BoG) at its Feb. 15 meeting that involves the sale of two fraternities and the eviction of two others within the next six months. The fraternities involved - Phi Delta Theta (the Red Door) and Delta Kappa Epsilon (the Blue Door) on University St. will be evicted to make way for the new resi­ dence space while Psi Upsilon and Delta Upsilon on Pine Ave. will be sold in a closed bid between the four fraternities affected. Delta Kappa Epsilon signed their lease with McGill in 1965 and it expires in April, 1989.

Leases with the other three frats ex­ pire before the 1988/89 academic year.

The plan was revealed at a meeting called by Phi Delta Theta last week. A coalition of concerned parties is cur­ rently attempting to convince BoG to delay the move so as to allow the frater­

nities involved time to gather enougl funds for a purchase of the properties The sale would be carried out with i view to increasing McGill’s residenct capacity by sixty places. McGill’s Vf

Free Trade:

Ideology gives way to enterprise

by S cott M cEvoy Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Premier Robert Bourassa disposed of historical political ideologies to praise each other and the merits of free trade at a speaking engage­ ment at The Grand Hotel last Friday. The $55-a-plate lunch, sponsored by The Quebec Chamber of Commerce and The World Trade Centre, highlighted both leaders’ commitment to the necessity of free access to the U.S. market.

Bourassa’s short introductory speech made it clear that the Free Trade Accord is of paramount importance to the eco­ nomic life of Quebec and Canada. According to Bourassa, the choice for Quebec is essentially practical, not ideologi­ cal. The Premier went on to describe how the road to economic prosperity for a country such as Canada, possess­ ing huge natural resources, lies necessarily through access to a large market.

Prime Minister Mulroney picked up on the resource theme and the role that hydro power has played in the economic development of Quebec. Calling Mr. Bourassa “the father of James Bay”, he spoke glowingly of the Premier’s recent contract with New York State, delivering 1,000 megawatts of electric power at a price of $17 billion. Mulroney, how­ ever, cautioned that electricity exports, clearly vital to the development of Quebec’s energy resources, “are currently

not protected against duties limiting their access to the American market,” only with the Free T rade Agreement will the U.S. no longer be able to impose such restrictions.

Mulroney was particularly critical of, and spoke with most passion against, opponents to free trade who offered no viable alternatives. Faced with an omnibus trade bill now before the U.S. Congress, the Prime Minister argued that the Free Trade Agreement is Canada’s only security against protectionism.

Mulroney further outlined the positive effect the Agree­ ment will have on other industries. Countervailing duties on lumber, subway cars, pork, fish, leather and steel will be reduced, and “U.S. restrictions on red meat, such as veal, and certain products containing sugar, will vanish.” Mulroney predicted new opportunities for sectors considered “soft” in Quebec, quoting the President of the Canadian Textile Institute as saying, “It is my personal opinion that the Canadian textile and clothing industries face a brighter future within a free trade arrangement than without.”

Mulroney ended with further accolades for Mr. Bourassa, saying “few people have embodied this willingness to look towards the future better than Premier Bourassa.” He was given a standing ovation from the more than 1,000 busi­ nesspeople present.

McGill women struggle for recognition

by N icole G aouette “Twelve years ago people said ‘What is Women’s Studies? What is sexism?’. Many thought it wasn’t a legitimate field of study,” said Profes­ sor Margaret Gillet of the WSMP. Gillet has the satisfaction of knowing that twelve years later, McGill’s Women’s Studies Minor Program is proving them wrong.

In spite of this, Gillet maintains that prejudice is still a problem. The annual report of the Senate Committee on Women stated that registration in the program has “been limited by the fear that Women’s Studies is a stigmatizing label on a student record (an impres­ sion apparantly conveyed by some major advisors).”

Gillett admitted that “this could very well be,” adding that “there are enough old fashioned, benighted and prejudiced people out there.” Professor Prue Rains, co-ordinator of the pro­ gram, said she thought the problem of prejudice was passing.

Val Moysey, a third year political science major and one of several stu­ dents in a Women’s Studies seminar interviewed, has found otherwise. In her first year of the minor program she has found people often react strongly to her choice of Women’s Studies. “It’s amazing the reaction I get sometimes.

People ask what I’m going to do with it, for a lot of them the fact that I’m taking political science justifies the Women’s Studies.”

Professor Gillet, obviously aware of this attitude, told the Tribune that “Women’s Studies has more profes­ sional use than english or history for example. The people involved are in­ terested in social issues and often go on to grad work or socially relevant fields.”

In her opinion the real challenge to the Women’s Studies program has been creating student awareness. Its listings are last in the Arts calendar and are often missed by students as they flip through it. Steps are being taken to

remedy this problem, however. As it is an interdisciplinary program, depart­ ments that offer core courses have been asked to mention this connection in their calendar course descriptions.

Next year more information through the medium of posters and bro­ chures will be available at registration and orientation. This year, series such as the 1987 Women’s Colloquium are being used to raise an awareness of the Women’s Studies program.

What everyone in the program hopes for is the establishment of a Women’s Studies Centre. It would provide students with a place to gather and become a focal point for research and teaching, much like Concordia’s Simone de Beauvoir Institute. Propos­ als for a Centre have only to be passed by the Senate in next month’s meeting to become reality.

For information on the Women’s Studies Minor Program or the Centre, contact Professor Rains at 398-6843, or Professor Gillet at 398-6746.

Council newsflash:

Cafeteria adopts three baby lizards

by M ariam Bouchoutrouch “What is a salamander?” asked Jamie Kneen, Clubs Rep. to council, at last Tuesday’s Students’ Council meeting. Daniel Tenenbaum, Stu­ dents’ Society President, explained that it was a type of oven. The Execu­ tive Committee Report stated that Council has resolved to spend $8,521 to replace three existing kitchen appli­ ances and to purchase a new one for the cafeteria in the Union building. The appliances have not been replaced in 20 years.

Council this week considered vari­ ous student issues, including winter carnival, loans and bursaries, disabled students and club status.

“Organizers should definitely be congratulated on [last week’s Winter Carnival],” said Daniel Tenenbaum.

The Internal Affairs Report informed Council that four buses had been filled for the ski trip, that 250 people partici­ pated in the Assassin Game, and that 250 to 500 people attended Comedy Night.

The official Students’ Society loans and bursaries policy was final­ ized last Monday by the External Af­ fairs Committee. Some changes were made, including recommendations to

offer loans and bursaries to part-time students, increasing the allowable de­ duction for support of a family unit to the poverty level as determined by StatsCan, redefining the status of stu­ dent independence and residence/nonresidence, and abolishing the obliga­ tory spousal contribution.

A proposal submitted by Access McGill requested that a two-year Stu­ dent Society fee increase of two dollars be approved to provide services and facilities for handicapped students.

Discussion of the proposal was tabled until the next meeting.

In other business, two student or­ ganizations were awarded club status: the McGill Québec group, an organiza­ tion formed last September to promote francophone awareness and to encour­ age francophone participation in the McGill community, and the Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG). Speaking in favour of McGill Quebec receiving club status, Tenen-' baum stated that 28 per cent of the McGill population was francophone and deserved to be recognized. He also explained that many anglophone stu­ dents chose McGill to improve their French. “It is the objective to get anglo­ phones in touch with French.”

OPÆD

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, February 2,1988

“Tax on the poor” sign of decaying society Canada’s federal and provincial lot­ teries are little more than taxes on the poor that keep society’s underpriviledged from ever prospering by offering the false hope of a giant wind­ fall. Quebecers spent nearly $3 billion between 1980 and 85 in provincial lot­ teries and you can bet that most of the money did not come from those of middle or upperclass backgrounds.

You can also rest assured that a govern­ ment which raked in over $252 million in profits from lotteries in 1985 (as the Quebec Government did) is never going to doubt the worthiness of this voluntary tax.

There was a time in Canada when lot­ tery was an ugly word. This was the pre-lottery era before 1969. It was on May 14 of that year that the Feds passed

the “Omnibus Law” which legitimized lotteries as money making ventures for governments. The City of Montreal had a lottery in 1967 which Mayor Drapeau actually called “the voluntary tax”. Those who wished to pay this extra tax were rewarded with a chance to win $100,000 worth of silver bars.

Today the prizes have increased ten­ fold, while the game has become a lot more sophisticated and a lot more prof­ itable. The word tax has disappeared and slick, ritzy advertising campaigns have become a mainstay. Y our chances of winning big, however, remain about the same as your chances of getting struck by lightning.

Yet those that continue to invest large amounts in lotteries appear to be the ones who can least afford it. Many

DND contracts ambiguous, restrictive and contravening I am writing to comment on Asso­ ciate Dean Stripp’s reply to my article, “FAEs Contravene McGill’s Research Regulations” ( Tribune, 19 January, 1988).

In her letter (Tribune, 26 January 1988), professor Stripp makes three points: that the restriction on publica­ tions in the contract with the Depart­ ment of National Defence (DND) is only for one year, and thus does not violate McGill’s prohibition of secret research. Secondly, she wishes to emphasize “that throughout the con­ tract period there is no restriction on disclosures to academic supervisor for the purpose of academic evaluation.”

Finally, she describes the DND as having simply included in the contract “a restriction on publishing classified material emanating from DND.” On the first point, I am willing to concede that Professor Stripp may be correct. In fact, the DND has added three conditions or “amendments” to the standard government-university research contract: firstly, the right for the contractor (ie. McGill on behalf of Professors Knystautus and Lee) to en­ joy a non-exclusive right to dissemi­ nate the knowledge developed, subject to the conditions which follow. Sec­ ondly, it requires the contractor to submit to the DND all manuscipts for publication for a period of one year after the contract ends. Thirdly, the DND reserves the right to require the contractor to redraft “any manuscript, abstract or other proposed release (which) contains material which is proprietary to Her Majesty pursuant to paragraph 7(2) of DSS 1053”, in such a way as to delete the material.

It is important to note (which Pro­ fessor Stripp did not ) that each of these three conditions is separately num­ bered. Therefore, Professor Stripp maintains that the DND’s censorship right - referred to in a separate clause numbered “3)” - is merely part of its right to review all manuscripts for one year after completion of the contract, itself referred to in a previous clause. In my initial reading of the contract, I did not make that interpretation, though I am now willing to consider it. At the very least the contract is ambiguous and McGill should ensure that the DND means exactly what McGill thinks it means.

Professor Stripp is misleading, however, when she says that the DND’s right of censorship would not interfere with the “disclosures to an academic supervisor for the purpose of academic evaluation” - that is, a thesis

Page 4

by a graduate student connected to the contract. Since the DND reserves the right to censor any “manuscript, abstract or other proposed publica­ tion”, theses could clearly not be in­ cluded. Professor Stripp knows better than most McGill students that all theses at McGill must be read by an external (ie. non-McGill) examiner, in addition to the thesis supervisor. How could the thesis be released to anyone but the supervisor in charge of the contract with the DND? Moreover, once a thesis is accepted it is put on the shelf in our library and copies are sent to the National Library in Ottawa, where it is publicly available. This is a form of publication, to which the DND could object.

Finally, Professor Stripp explains that the DND’s wish to censor the publications by referring to “classified material emanating from DND.” How­ ever, the DND has reserved the right to restrict publicationon much more than the confidential material it provides to the researchers. As I pointed out in my article, the DND has reserved the right to censor “any design, technical infor­ mation, invention, method or process conceived or developed or first actu­ ally reduced to practice in performing to Her Majesty pursuant to paragraph 7(2) of DSS 1053.”

There remain ample grounds to believe that McGill’s research regula­ tions, which aim to prohibit secret re­ search, are inadequately enforced.

D avid S chulze

cling to that one-in-a-million chance that they will strike it rich and escape their desperate situations. The hope that many cling to is a slim one, one completely out of touch with reality.

Many will argue that at least the lotteries give some hope, and that the hope is enough to make a miserable existence more bearable. But a society that offers little more that a micro­ scopic chance of material wealth as the only sign of hope is a pretty miserable society.

The time has come for governments in Canada to seriously examine the ef­ fects of gigantic lotteries on a power and money hungry populace. Cana­ dian governments have kept gambling illegal for several protective reasons.

One cannot continue to consider lotter­ ies as any different from gambling just because they offer virtually no chance of winning.

On July 12,1985, the federal govern­ ment made another major move in lot­ tery history - provinces were given sole legal control over their lotteries. This final move has led to a whole new glut of addictive lotteries, each with a new twist, a new offer of false hope.

In my mind, lotteries are a sign of society’s failure. The greater the suc­ cess of the draw, the greater the degree of hopelessness and malcontent.

Lotteries not only take money from the poor, they take away real hopes and offer a hopeless monetary dream in their stead.

Join the crusade When was the last time you heard of students researching, issuing re­ ports, organizing and acting on citizen issues that affect all members of the Montreal community and the province of Quebec?

Environmental problems, govern­ ment accountability, women’s issues, consumer protection: all are commu­ nity concerns. Students are citizens in the community, citizens with high ide­ als, optimism and energy. Students also have knowledge, skills and the re­ sources of the university at their dis­ posal. This potential, however, rarely leads to effective action. Public Inter­ est Research Groups (PIRGs) are stu­ dent-directed organizations which hire scientists, lawyers and other profes­ sionals to assist students in researching

and articulating their concerns.

The professional staff provide a framework for student initiated proj­ ects and a continuity which is often lost by student organizations during exams and over the summer. Students who work with PIRGs on specific projects gain training and experience in re­ search, education and advocacy. Since one of the main goals of a PIRG is the involvement of the campus in commu­ nity issues, its work is not necessarily confined to the academic environment.

Students gain experience in activities such as lobbying, publishing reports, and community organizing.

Across the United States and in Ontario and British Columbia, PIRGs are providing students with direct ex­ perience in planning, implementing and following up sophisticated proj­ ects. Students are using their education to recognize and solve society’s prob­ lems. At McGill, students are working to form a PIRG. Anyone interested in getting involved should come to this week’s meeting tonight at 17:00 in Union 302. For more information call 848-7410.

...Frat woes

continued fro m page 3

(Physical Resources) Sam Kingdon cited the need for more residence space (to attract the best students); the poor return on McGill’s investment (only 2%) and fraternity problems (liquor law infractions, bad house conditions) as reasons for the decision to evict the fraternities.

Phi Delta Theta President Matt Giffen reluctantly accepts the outcome. “I can see why the university is doing what they are doing, from the cost and residence standpoint. But 1 think there are two problems with the decision,

one: They went about it in a secretive manner, we were informed after the fact, and two: that they are failing to realize the importance of fraternities to McGill.”

Fraternities also resent the treatment they have been receiving from the uni­ versity this year.

On a recent tour of Phi Delta Theta, House Manager Rob Seguin reported that McGill Realty’s Fire Inspector commented that he was surprised any­ one would live in such conditions, noting there were no functioning smoke alarms, no fire alarms, no emer­ gency lights and obsolete fire

extinguishers.

The landlords, however, are not overly pleased with the tenants either.

StudSoc President Daniel Tenenbaum stated that he is the “first to admit that fraternities are not good tenants but [the frats] have taken great strides to improve.

The Inter-Fraternities Council, StudSoc, and the Graduates’ Society are trying to delay McGill’s plans. The frats need time to raise the two to four hundred thousand dollars each will require to make a bid for the two prop­ erties. Meanwhile, Principal Johnston will recommend to BoG that McGill serve the six-month eviction notices.

AIDS awareness

hllllll

week upon us

Mini........mua

by H eather McLeod February 8-12 is AIDS Awareness Week at McGill. The McGill AIDS Task Force will be organizing a variety of events during the week to heighten awareness, increase understanding and promote more open discussion of the AIDS issue.

This week, members of the Task Force will be knocking on residence doors, distributing pamphlets and infor­ mation about various issues, primarily focusing on safe sex. Throughout AIDS Awareness Week, there will be an Infor­ mation Booth in Room 107 of the Union Building, staffed by the Task Force from 11-2 daily. Members of the Montreal AIDS group CS AM will also be on hand on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Events will include a lecture by vis­ iting professor Dr. Margaret Duckett, considered to be Australia’s “AIDS Expert”. She will focus on the Austra­ lian approaches to the epidemic, and their relevance for Canada. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the Task Force

will be back in the residences, screening the video “Sex, Drugs and AIDS”, fol­ lowed by a discussion period. Thursday night a panel discussion will be held in Leacock 26. The panel will include the­ ology Professor Gregory Baum, as well as an AIDS patient, an AIDS “buddy”, or volunteer, a physician, and a representa­ tive of the Human Rights Commission.

According to Benji Wincure, one of the five-person Committee running the Task Force, the emphasis of AIDS Awareness Week is on reducing the paralyzing fear surrounding the disease.

The Task Force hopes to promote more open discussion and handling of the is­ sue. “The approach will be very direct”, says Wincure, “but the tone of the week will be one of enlightenment. We’re trying to break the myth and get to the facts.”

Anyone interested in joining the Task Force can contact members in the Info Booth during the week, or leave a message for Benji Wincure at the Stu­ dent Society office.

by Kim Farley Calling all carnivores! On the comer of de Maisonneuve and Crescent, there is a restaurant designed for living out a few fantasies. Inside the innocent looking brown chunk of a building that is Tony Romas, all those succulent tangles of flesh you crave after one too many radish salads are there for the lunging at. You can tear into Tony’s special Baby Back Ribs (which will ooze barbecue sauce all over y our chin), slice through some of the most tender chicken in the city, or sink those incisors deep into a juicy Roma burger. To pacify the offended rabbit inside you, Tony’s will throw in some complimentary coleslaw.

Now that your cravings have you in a headlock and are propelling you out the door, stop a minute. Here’s the bad news.

This restaurant, which could attract hordes of students with it’s unpreten­ tious, easy-going atmosphere and huge portions of quality food (not to mention great fries), is just too damn expensive.

McGill students won’t feel totally com­ fortable among the business suited lunch crowd, although dinner attracts a more boisterous (read fun) clientele. Besides, the portions are really too big for lunch, so that means dinner at an entrée cost of between $9-$14. Most struggling stu-J t dents want to find places to get goodT p quality at slightly more reasonable prices than that. But, if the folks drop in unex­ pectedly and you want to reassure them that you’re eating enough, this is the place to take them.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the onion loaves. I first had one of these slimy,

|b y Trib Food S taff Lovers of pizza across this great I city (where they put the cheese on top of I the toppings) have participated veheImently since time immemorial in the I great debate to end all great debates: I who serves the best pizza? Opinions are I numerous, as every student has his or I her own favourite and “wouldn’t be I caught dead buying the trash those I other places dare to call pizza.” We at I the Tribune thought we would compile la panel of experts and offer you our I valuable insights into the world of “allIdressed” and “hold the anchovies.” The I opinions expressed are not neceessarily I those of the management.

One who loathes green pepIpers: “Mamma’s Pizza (Pine near St. I Urbain) is far and away my favourite.

Spicy and plentiful pepperoni, lots of cheese, tasteful, non-rubberized mush­ rooms and they’ll hold the green pep­ pers. Amelio’s (ghetto) runs a distant second and Gertrude’s is pretty good, too. The other places are too greasy and Silver Piza Pizza (which used to pollute residence with its menus) has to be the most soggy, bland, gutless concoction ever baked this side of Italy.

Get o ff the phone you lazy slob . Do not spend ten or fifteen dol­ lars to have some son of a greasy spoon owner bring a cold and soggy, oozing mass of tomatoey goo to your door. The best pizza is made at home and if you buy a Kraft Pizza kit, even a bumbling fool can create an affordable, edible mess. The mix costs $2.39 but you must

be sure to add some of your own favor­ ite ingredients (like cheese - they give you enough for a small mouse). The only trouble is keeping that yeasty dough from sticking to your hands. If you master this, you should try to make two smaller pizzas from the mix rather than one. They give you too much tomatoey goo for one Geography Junkie. For the lov­ ers of the truly disgusting, try the depths of pizza-grossness - Pizza McGill.

Veggie pizzas appear to made using animal fat (baby seal blubber? or simply the narwhal?) while the more prosaic pizzas are apparently deep fried in ten year old french fry grease. The service, however, is not bad. Do, oh do, stay away from the soup, even I cannot guess what’s in it.

by Dusk N. Hines Eating out in Montrealneed not be prohibitively expensive. The average starving student can get a good meal and save a few bucks at countless places in the city. The crick is in finding these particular countless restaurants among the more than countless establishments in the yeiiow pages.

The key to discovering your own unique, inexpensive restaurant is to be unafraid to explore and sample. The suggestions which follow by no means constitute a comprehensive list of Montreal's cheap joints, but they can be consid­ ered stepping stones for the tenta­ tive but hungry bargain hunter.

The best deal on a whole meal seems to be the lunch specials at the several restaurants on the Prince Arthur pedestrian walk, just east of St. Laurent. A number of inter­ changeable restaurants with inter­ changeable names (like La Caverne Grecque, La Cabane Grecque and La Casa Grecque, as well as Le Prince Arthur and Minerva) serve up filling meals in the $5-$6 range, weekdays from 11-5 and week­ ends, 11-4.

fresh bread, plentiful servings of rice, potatoes and salad, the entrée, dessert and tea or coffee. Your choice may be somewhat limited and the background sound­ track may be horribly loud and repetitive, but the food sticks to your ribs and the decor is generally pleasant (if you care). All establishments are BYOW, but there are slight differences between the places, so wander and check out the menus. The best of the bunch in my humble opinion is La Caverne Grecque because it offers Black Forest Cake or Baclava and usually has funky soups, like cream o f asparagus.

O tter cheap eats are scattered mound the down­ town area. Café Commune (Ste-Familie at Milton) has probably the cheapest cup of tea or coffee in North America, which can be sipped or gulped in a groovy, laid back atmosphere. The inexpensive food is not bad, but it is not served in massive quantities.

A Vietnamese restaurant with the likely name of Restaurant au 14 Ouest Prince Arthur features low {«ices. Don’t be afraid to walk in. Reuben’s (SteCatherine at McGill College) has prices which fall far below those of its neighbour Dunn’s without sacrificing food quality. It has cheaper smoked meat than Ben’s, Schwartz’s or The Main, too.

Everyone raves about Basha’s (930 Ste-Catherine W.) and the praise is well deserved. The Lebanese specialties are not too hot to handle for a newcomer and the meaty sandwiches (in the $3 range) are just right for a quick lunch. Now the restaurant is offering a 10% discount for McGill students, making it even a little more affordable.

Excellent bagels can be had 24 hours a day at the incredible price of 200 apiece at the Fairmount Bagel Bakery (Fairmount near St. Uibain). There really is nothing like a 3:00 in die morning bagel run, followed cheese. The other Bagel Factory (S t Viateur near Park) doesn’t rate as high for tastiness in this writer’s opinion.

If you’re famished on campus, the Union cafeteria is plastic but cheap. Breakfast is an especially good deal. Gert’s has Spaghetti and Labatt’s for $2.50 every Thursday night. They scrimp on the sauce but certainly not on the pasta. The beer is good, too.

by N icole G a o u e tte The authors of my trusty cookbook first had this uncooked pasta sauce in j “beautiful home in Sardinia”. No such luck for the rest of us, but at least we have the recipe. All the ingredients can found on St. Laurent: you’ll find goo quality at some of the cheapest prices.

It’s delicious and ridiculously easy...

4 ripe tomatoes diced in 1/2-inch cubes 1 pound Brie cheese, rind removed] tom into irregular pieces 1 cup clean, fresh basil leaves, finely| chopped 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced 1 cup olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pepper 11/2 pound linguine Parmesan cheese (optional) 1. At least two hours before serving combine tomatoes. Brie, basil, garlic] olive oil, salt and pepper in a large serv-| ing bowl. Set aside, covered, at roon temperture. Give it a stir once or twice.

2. Cook your pasta, drain it and immediately toss with the sauce. Serve at| once using fresh ground pepper and parmesan cheese to garnish. (p.s. you can make this the night] before or the morning before you serve it] — the longer it sits the better it tastes).

“We must speak ourselves into being.” |b y M ich elle Ninow “Why is it that while ‘man’ is considI ered a generic term we can say ‘man is Ian aggressive animal’ but not ‘man | devotes more than 30 hours a week to [housework’ and not ‘man leads an is| loted life when engaged in child rearing | in our society?” Concordia english (professor Bina Freiwald asked when Ishe spoke at the Forum on Sexist Lan­ g u a g e at McGill last Thursday evening.

The forum, organized by the McGill | Women’s Union, provided an excellent | opportunity for students to become | better informed about the important [issues involved in the usage of sexist | language. The speakers, four university Iprofessors and one feminist magazine Ieditor, enlightened and challenged the [audience. While some of the issues | tackled were quite specialized for those | who were being confronted for the first [time by the idea of sexism in our lan­ g u ag e, there was much to be gained [from listening to women who have | explored the topic in depth.

Feminists have taken up the battle [against sexism in language on the [premise that it reflects values deeply ] ingrained in our society which must be [changed. “Our language is not some | neutral or objective entity but rather it is [extremely value-related. It is not an [absolute given but emerges in our socilety formed and conditioned by social | and cultural attitudes. That is to say that | the attitudes of society , including inIdentifiably sexist ones, will be reflected [and embodied in the language,” ex­ p lain ed philosophy professor Linda I Fisher.

The first step in changing our word | usage is to become aware of how sexual | difference and conflict are reflected in [language. “There are more positive [words for males... and there are so | many negative words for females with [no equivalents for males,” Freiwald [explained.

Another example is the generic usage | of male words such as he, mankind or [chairman. By encompassing females in | male terms the individuality, and in fact [the importance of the existence of fe| males in negated. “Man does not mean

human” stated english professor, Elso Sheider. To use the term “girl” instead of “woman” when addressing a female over the age of eighteen denotes a trivialization of women. Sheider said “call­ ing a woman a girl is like a white person calling a black person a nigger and ex­ pecting the black to believe the white is not racist.” This racist example was useful for a better understanding of the concept of sexism in language. while our usage of everyday language treats men as individuals, women are often grouped together by terms relating to child bearing functions or their sexualtiy. Women must take the initiative to redefine themselves as individuals. “ We must unite ourselves into being; we must speak ourselves into being,” ex­ plained Clea Notar, editor of (F)lip magazine.

Sensitizing oneself to the gender neu­ tral issue can be a troubling experience.

Even for women, the first reaction is often to negate it or trivialize it. During the discussion period , people in the audience spoke about the ‘personal pain’ involved in changing. It is especically difficult for a woman to become aware that she is being victimized by our word usage. Quoting Monique Witting, Freiwald said “the language you speak is killing you.”

It is essential that we realize that our language is dynamic, that we can change it. We do not have to continue to use the sexist word usage which our ancestors developed. “We must create a non-sex­ ist language by not allowing others to speak for us”, Notar explained. “Lan­ guage has been an accomplice in the subordination of women but it can also be an instrument of change,” exclaimed Freiwald in her encouraging conclusion.

Reminding the audience of the impor­ tance of language, Sheider said “How can language, which moulds our percep­ tion and which is the only way we have to communicate, be something trivial?

In a language where there are only four colours, people can only see four colours. In a language where there are sixteen words for snow, people can actu­ ally see sixteen kinds of snow. It’s the same thing with sexism.”

Border controversy

by Jane G illis Two Men Laughing, currently number 33 on CHOM's New Music Foundation, and signed with AMOK Records of Toronto and GME Division of France, has been together for little over a year. No wonder they’re laugh­ ing.

The duo consists of Tom Guay, a Concordia student responsible for the band’s vocals, guitar and effects, and McGill’s own Dave Garside, program­ mer, keyboardist and backing vocals.

Their latest 12", Dead or Alive, is not only innovative and enjoyable, but a brilliant fusion of contemporary music and contemporary art.

Their music combines a sledge­ hammer rhythm with a screeching wall of feedback. Dead or Alive sounds something like a cross between Jesus and Mary Chain and Ministry. It’s dance music, but with feedback. The

12" contains two of their new songs, a title track and Touch You, as well as a remixed version of the previously re­ leased single, Imprisoned Lorrie.

Known as ‘urban death-disco’, their sound and lyrics are distinctively gothic, with the trademarks of Guay’s frantic, screeching voice and a very

danceable beat.

The cover of Dead or Alive is the reproduction of a photo-montage by Bob St. John, a New Hampshire artist and a former designer for the U.S. Air Force. Having recently graduated from the University of California, he claims that returning to school gave him a new outlook on life, and art in particular.

The Dead or Alive cover photo-mon­ tage is a series of colour photographs super-imposed on one another and then painted over for added depth and ef­ fect. What is different about this work is St. John’s use of brass rubbings from tombstones, a technique which creates unique shading and texture. (Look for the hidden cross behind the hung man on the left and the hidden skull behind the hangman’s head. This band is trying to get into the public subcon­ scious any way it can!)

The work is the epitome of the music of Two Men Laughing, which Guay describes in this way: “The sound I produce is the internal sound I feel.

This feeling is pain, torture, the grind of metal, chainsaws... the Apocalypse”.

Garside offsets this mood with a phi­ losophy that sees “the idea of being a human... as a balance of many things”.

Two Men Laughing plays the Thunderdome February 14th, and Club Soda “sometime in March”.

by Jennifer Henderson Few people know (or perhaps, care) what goes on inside that formi­ dable piece of urban architecture called the Alcan Building. Fewer still can guess the connection between that building and the convoy of white mobile CFTM trucks parked outside its Stanley Street entrance every Friday afternoon. This is not to say that Mon­ trealers are ignorant. In fact, chances are that any Canadian without the lux­ ury of cable TV and without the will to get up before noon on Sundays has never even heard of The Editors.

This half-hour public affairs pro­ gram, focussing exclusively on issues affecting Canadian-U.S. relations, is a co-production by independent Mon­ treal producer Larry Shapiro and PBS station WCFE in Plattsburgh, New York. The Editors brings together lop journalists and key political figures from both sides of the border in a roundtable discussion format (the round table in this case being the ma­ hogany dining room table of the Alcan executives).

The panel of four analysts has in­ cluded such guests as Canadian free trade negotiator Simon Reisman, U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Thomas Niles, Jennifer Lewington of the Globe and Mail, Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, Peter Stoller of Time, David Suzuki, Gwynne Dyer and Mordecai Richler. The first six epi­ sodes of the show, which premiered in October, 1987, were dominated by the issue of free trade. The program has since dealt with the questions of acid rain, defense policy, economic conser­ vatism, communism, cooperation in intelligence, and nationalism and the arts. The show is made live-to-tape, which means that there is no editing or cutting done to the original tape before it is televised. This makes for spontane­ ous and sometimes tense debate.

David Johnston, Principal of McGill, takes turns moderating the discussion on a rotating basis with Peter Desbarats, Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Western. Sev­ eral Film and Communications stu­

dents from McGill are getting experi­ ence as (volunteer) researchers and production assistants.

Although the 26-week series airs on Sunday afternoons to a relatively limited audience, producer Shapiro makes the claim that, “What we are doing is educating a lot of Americans as to what is going on in Canada”. But the fact remains that The Editors is a joint production about a relationship be­ tween two countries, and not simply a program to inform Americans about their neighbour. The series also ad­ dresses viewers this side of the border, because the Canadian journalists and politicians contributing to the discu sion are claiming to present a ‘Cana­ dian perspective’ on a wide range of issues which define the differences between the two countries.

As much as The Editors is of inter­ est to Canadians, the show is carried by 40 PBS stations and only one Canadian station (CITV in Edmonton). Most of the PBS carriers are border stations, to which Canadian viewers are among the strongest financial supporters. This time it is the CBC that is perpetuating the old Canadian rule that anything is more interesting than ourselves, by claiming that the show does not fit into its current schedule. TV Ontario re­ fused to take the series on the grounds that it already comes into the southern Ontario market from the PBS station in Buffalo, but PBS also reaches Edmon­ ton, where CITV was willing to carry the series.

Ideally, the type of discussion The Editors presents would take place in an open forum where the views expressed around the cozy roundtable could be challenged by the public. Television obviously makes that kind of interac­ tion impossible, but at the same time, it provides the potential for reaching a wider audience. In this case, Canadian viewers have to be part of an American network’s audience in order to learn what is being said about themselves.

The Editors : Channel 33 Sundays at noon; Channel 57 Saturdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 10:30am.

UNDERGRADUATE SOCIETY

1242 BISHOP

861-7815

Monty, a symbol of old money and tradi­ tion gone bad, is an obese (“His head must weigh fifty pounds”) and eccentric homo­ sexual, who is taken with root vegetables (He labels flowers “prostitutes for the bees”). Griffith brings passion and absurd­ ity to this sad character.

Grant equals Griffith’s vigour with his spirited portrayal of the arrogant misan­ thrope, Withnail. Although his overblown performance denies the potential complexity of Withnail, his clever lines are soaked in wit.

Withnail is a penniless lord, who has estranged himself from his family’s old money with his pur­ suit of an acting career. A tragic fellow clearly at the end of his rope, Withnail simultaneously abuses and cultivates his friendship with the narrator.

The narrator, “and I”, with none of Withnail or Monty’s silver-spooned back­ ground, is the only character with any kind of hope at the end of the film. Writer/ director Bruce Robinson’s central character is nameless for a reason: he lives outside of himself, always reacting to the actions of others. Although plagued by paranoia, the narrator is sensitive to his plight, but unlike Withnail and Monty, able to escape it.

“Man delights not me,” quotes Withnail at the conclusion of the film, and thus sums up the profound disillusionment of the char­ acters as they come down from the long trip that was the 1960s.

by J a s o n A rb u c k le Withnail and / is one of the controversial products of Handmade Films, the company owned by George Harrison, which has to its credit the much talked-about Sammie and Rosie Get L a id , as well as the just-released Five Corners. Withnail, which was pro­ duced before both, carries much of Sammie and Rosie’s scorching satire of decaying British society.

The film deals with Withnail and his friend, the narrator, who live stagnant lives in a dirty London flat in 1969. Both W ithnail (Richard E. Grant) and the narrator (Paul McGann) are outof-work actors with few prospects. After a battle with some im agined beast amongst the mess of dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, the narrator suggests they should get away to the country. They spend a weekend at the cottage of Withnail’s rich uncle, Monty (Richard Griffith), who joins them by surprise.

The film is tremendously witty, and much of the hilarity centers on the ineptitude of these starving actors in the wilds of the English countryside. One of the funniest scenes occurs when Withnail and the narra­ tor, alone at the country cottage, are deliv­ ered something to eat by a neighbouring farmer - a live chicken. “We can’t eat it,” says Withnail, “It’s alive.” Their domestic inexperience is further chronicled as they hunt fish - with a shotgun.

The Gondoliers - A Colourful Fairytale

by N etannis Arnett and Leigh G ravenor It is a classical story of true love.

The Gondoliers, written by Gilbert and Sullivan, is reportedly based on a fa­ vourite book of Gilbert’s about Venice in the fifteenth century. When the play first hit the stage at the end of the nineteenth century, it was such a suc­ cess that it ran for 559 performances straight. After years of disharmony, the writing of The Gondoliers brought about a reconciliation between the two artists, which perhaps explains its charm and energy. It was the first piece of entertainment presented at Windsor Castle, and in fact The Prince of Wales was apparently so taken with the play he saw it four times!

The McGill Savoy Society is the oldest university-affiliated Gilbert and Sullivan troupe in Canada and has been staging performances for nearly a quarter of a century. This is the third pro-

The entirely likeable Duchess of Plaza-Toro (Nicole Wallack) has the comic timing of a Swiss watch, which is played off superbly against the por­ trayal of her dandy husband, the Duke (Mark Holtz). In fact, their exchanges are the most engaging of all. Another commendable performance is Allister MacRae’s skillful portrayal of the Grand Inquisitor. As he struts around the stage, arrogance exudes from every fold of his black cape.

The strength of the show, however, lies not so much in the acting as in the superb voices of the cast - notably those of Nils Brown and Marilyn Arsenault.

The simplicity of the set is offset by the colourful costumes of the supporting cast. The Gondoliers' fairytale ending caps off an evening of fine entertainment, which makes the trek out to Westmount High well worthwhile.

The storyline is simple and sweet, but the production and music are elabo­ rate. Two gondoliers, Marco and Guiseppe, played by Nils Brown and Nicholas Holman respectively, choose two peasant girls to be their brides and conveniently, the opportunistic Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro arrive with their ‘holier-than-thou’ daughter, Casilda. The plot thickens when the Duke informs his daughter that she has been married since birth to the infant King of Baritaria. The show is lengthy (running two and a half hours) but the powerful voices and exuberance of the cast captivate the audience for the whole of the performance.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, February 2,1988

by Jam ie Alden Led by the first half shooting of Hélène Cowan and an awesome clinic of offensive rebounding from M.J. Jurcic, the McGill Martlets never trailed in Sunday’s 68-61 victory over the Bishop’s Gaiters. The win moves them into a first place tie with the Laval Rouge et Or, with a league record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

With this year’s edition of the Martlets the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome has reigned supreme. One day they’ll come out high as kites and the next game they’ll be flatter than a day old pancake. From the opening whistle Sunday, it was evident the Martlets were ready to play. Although turn­ overs plagued the early going in the contest, the two teams settled down, entertaining the fans with some excit­ ing, up-tempo basketball for much of the first half. The Martlets were beauti­ ful to watch as they dominated the up and down style of game converting fast

break layups and pressuring the Lady Gaiters into numerous miscues.

Bishop’s also had a difficult time breaking the solid Martlet defence in the paint and were forced into taking some long outside shots. Two of Bishop’s guards Katie Marriot and Cindy Lacroix accounted for 19 of Bishop’s 28 first half points.

Leading by 12 at the half the game never appeared in doubt. Bishop’s did manage to make a late run led by the 17 second half points of Cynthia Johnston but never could erase McGill’s advan­ tage.

You can’t blame any one factor for McGill’s 85-72 loss to the Bishop’s Gaiters. Add up a smokescreen like McGill defence and the encore per­ formances of 3 phantoms in the black and white and what do you get? Let me give you a hint, it doesn’t spell V-I-CT-O-R-Y. “We had difficulty adjusting to the different type of refereeing” said

Coach Ken Schildroth. “After the W.W.F at Concordia last week...we just didn’t adjust.”

Despite 28 fouls being called in the first half, almost twice as many on McGill, the Redmen were only down by 5 at the half. In the second half the Redmen closed to within 1,48-47, and then the roof caved in. Led by a surg­ ing fast break that almost scored at will, the Gaiters went on a 28-6 run and never looked back.

The Redmen could not find any­ one with the hot hand in the second half as both leading scorers David Steiner and Patrick Arsenault were frustrated into subpar performances.

Steiner led the squad with ten points.

The Redmen are having difficulty putting everything together in the half court offense, and they are not getting as many easy fast break hoops as they were earlier in the year.

Second half bright spots included the continuing improvement of Red­ men rookie Jamie Simon. Countless times he could be seen flying through the air tearing down offensive re­ bounds. Second year guard Ariel Franco also had an excellent second half pouring in nine points.

M cGill’s league record now stands at 3-3. To demonstrate how tight the race is in this league, after this Friday’s home game versus Trois Rivières the Redmen could either be in last place or first place. That match begins at 8:30 at Sir Arthur Currie Gymnasium, the women play Laval at 6:30.

Martlets Trounce, Redmen Bounced

M cG ill’s Tim Iannone avoids a W ilfred Laurier defender

Redmen split pair: Win streak snapped at five

by D ino S m iljic The Redmen hockey team cele­ brated their 111th birthday in an odd fashion this weekend. Friday night saw the Laurier Golden Hawks come to town, only to be given a brash reception in the form of a 6-1 loss to the Birthday Boys. Saturday’s game was a frighten­ ing turnaround, especially since the Tribe was riding a tidal wave of five straight victories and had only one loss in their last ten games. The Waterloo Warriors rudely spoiled the party by demolishing McGill 8-2.

On Friday night, Dan Burrows started things off at the 14:19 mark of the first period on the power play, which was executed well the whole night. The return of Mario DeBenedictus, who contributed two goals in his first two games, was triumphantly re­ sounded when he scored his third goal of his shortened season halfway through the first. Mike Teolis added to the subtotal with a little over seven minutes in the second, but Laurier kept within reach by beating McGill goalie Jamie Reeve, who was having another superb game. Reeve continued to be spectacular, and with the help of goals

by David Boucher, Jamie Kompon, and Tim Iannone, the Redmen had every reason to pat themselves on the back.

A quick final note on the game:

Redmen fans did not appreciate the chippy play of the frustrated Golden Hawk squad, and when cat-callers provoked the Laurier assistant coach to assault a nearby fan, a small scrap broke out between some members of the crowd and the opposing team. Se­ curity quickly intervened, but not be­ fore one overzealous supporter was forced to visit RVH. He received a small cut from a sucker-punch a player delivered w hile w restling with Laurier’s reserve goaltender. Hockey purists would have called it barbarous, while Don Cherry would have shrugged it off as “the home ice advan­ tage”.

Since Saturday’s game was so pa­ thetic, a very pathetic summary is in order. It goes like this: Waterloo scored. They scored again. And again.

And again. It went that way till it was 60. McGill then got a couple of goals from Joel Gregory and André Martin but the Warriors scored again. And again. No, there were no fights after the game.

In no case should one judge a team by one performance, (especially the Washington Redskins) so mark down Feb. 12th on your calender, because that’s when the Tribe take on U. of T., and Iannone and Co. will look to avenge their birthday loss.

McGill in the f30s: the golden era of hockey

by Rauri N icholson The 1930s marked the start of one of the worst economic recessions in world history. As the economic stock market plummeted so to did the dreams of thousands in a decade that was fdled with despair and chaos. There was a team, however, The Red Raiders of McGill, who ignored this trend and soared to the heights of athletic achievment, capturing the imagination of an entire province. McGill hockey, indeed, has never since seen such a team, but in those few years of the 1930s all hockey fans stood in awe of men like Gordon Meiklejohn and the other stars of our Redmen powerhouse.

McGill in the ’30s was unseemingly ill-affected by the great depres­ sion. We seemed to hold closer along the lines of university life, buffeted from the collapsing world surrounding us. Men went to school in dapper suits with slicked hair, fraternity pins proudly displayed, perhaps echoing the song of the last jazz age. As Gatsby faded, however, clubs such as the Labour Organization appeared to “fight evils such as militarism...and race prejudice.” McGill women in­ volved themselves in the faculty of Household Science, a section depicted in Old McGill by a picture of sliced bread. Athletic fan support was strong at McGill during the 1930s. As a for­ mer athlete said, “we felt very proud to play. The fans used to really shout and holler.” Overall there was a solid sense of community at McGill as the students closed themselves from a frightening world.

For nine glorious years from 1929/30 to 1938/39, the McGill hockey team won championships. It was truly the golden era of hockey at McGill. The team considered the best ever to represent McGill was the 1933/ 34 Red Raiders. These stars swept through the Montreal Senior Group schedule, intercollegiate matchups and numerous exhibition tilts without the loss of a single game. Their record included victories over the Verdun Maple Leafs, Lafontaine Canadiens, and the Ottawa All-Stars.

Spirit among the players was at fever pitch at the time as win after win added to the amazing tally. As the great Frank Shaughnessy once said, “ At McGill in the 1930s we couldn’t wait for the hockey season to begin. The competition for berths on the team was so fierce that the practices were often as tough as the games. And if a player was hurt, he was inclined to keep it a secret.

He was afraid if someone replaced him, he might not be able to win the job back.

Gordon Meiklejohn, a star de­ fenceman, was present through much of McGill’s glory years. Meiklejohn started his hockey career while attend­ ing Taft Prep school in Wisconsin whereupon he matriculated into the University of Wisconsin. Under the guidance of Winnipeg hockey player Johnny Farquhar, Meiklejohn devel­ oped into a formidable player.

In a interesting move the now Doctor Meiklejohn travelled to the University of Tenstin in China where he attended his first year of Medical school. Surprisingly there was a hockey team in the area for which Meiklejohn played. Reflecting on this experience, he simply laughed saying, “That was a hell of a good time.”

an

Meiklejohn, “Gordie was a good rush­ ing defensiveman, a driving skater who could carry the puck and he was good defensively too. He could antici­ pate opposing forwards moves and he’d be there to block him or skate him off into a comer.”

Meiklejohn replied, “oh, old flatfoot. He was a darned good player, he really laid them (the players) down hard.”

Gordon Meiklejohn was also a member of the track team. “A lot of

instant favourite among fans, particularily with students from the fac­ ulty of Household Science. Harry Grines, the long time trainer of McGill hockey and football teams, com­ mented on Gordon Meikejohn. “I’ve rubbed down hundreds of athletes, maybe thousands, but I think that the one who came closest to being a per­ fect physical specim en was Meiklejohn.”

Frank Shaughnessey said of

the fellows on the team played other sports; they were real athletes. Most of us were also either in Medical school or Law School,” Meiklejohn told the Trib­ une from his Denver, Colorado office.

Riddled by graduation after their successful 1933-34 season, the prospects for the 1934-35 season were not high.

Meiklejohn said, “We did lose many of our good players. But boy did we rally.”

Although the Red Raiders stumbled through the first half of the Senior Group schedule, they swept through the remain­

der of the season without a defeat to finish in second place in the standings.

In 1987-88 where we have al­ ready seen one great Redmen perform­ ance, it is interesting to look into our past and examine some of the greatest teams and players in McGill’s history.

In the depths of a decade remembered for its darkness, a light shone at McGill in the form of hockey greatness. For this, men such as Gordon Meiklejohn will never be forgotten.
