The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, April 12,1988

COUNCIL GOES OUT W ITH A W IM PER

by Angela Chapman Students ’ Council’s final meeting of the year last Tuesday was prolific in the written word, if not the verbal. The only notable debate of the evening concerned the Native Affairs’ Com­ mittee terms of reference and policy, while Maria Battaglia, VP University Affairs, produced reports for Council’s perusal. Briefpresentations weremade by the StudSoc executives.

President Daniel Tennenbaum, in his final report to Council, announced that the University’s recent decision to move the winter term fee deadline to January 5 th had been reversed and will remain January 15th.

Chris Alexander, VP External Af­ fairs, told Council that McGill’s ad­ ministration will be lobbying City officials to hold public hearings this summer on the Athletic Complex and work out a “masterplan for the moun­ tain.” As to a timetable for construc­ tion, he told Council: “I don’t see any hole being dug in the next year and a half to two - minimum.”

Alexander also presented several

Knights of the square table: Council cronies yak it up for the last time. resolutions arising from the General Assembly on underfunding. The As­ sembly failed to meet quorum by the time debate finished and the resolu­ tions for a StudSoc underfunding pol­ icy came to a vote. Alexander sug­ gested the Council pass the resolutions

Coté Speaks In the run-up to this year’s Students’ Society elections, Nancy Coté made several pronouncements about “open­ ing up Students’ Society”. Since her successful election to the post of presi­ dent of the Society, she and the rest of the executive have been attending meetings and “going through a learn­ ing period.” In an in-depth interview with T rib u n e News Editor Max Harrold, Coté described her plans for the summer and the next academic year; On the transition Coté travelled with outgoing presi­ dent Daniel Tenenbaum to Quebec City recently for meetings with politi­ cians on underfunding. She described her role as that of an “observer”. Coté says Tenenbaum has been introducing her to people and she is slowly learning about her new job. The new 5-person executive committee officially takes over May 2nd. They will work a regular 9 to 5 shift and be paid about $5.60/ hour for the duration of the summer months.

Summertime...

The major project for the summer, says Coté, is meeting a September 1st deadline for complete wheelchair ac­ cessibility in the Union building. A meeting of the access committee is schedueled for today. Coté plans to give McGill engineering students first crack at the job of renovating basement and main floor washrooms as well as widening the elevator corridor. She thinks it may be cheaper. The summer will also be a time for reviewing StudSocs’ $1,5 million annual budget and the food and beverage license.

While Coté isnt planning on giving current f & b contractor C.V.C. “the boot”, she would like to have a close look at their pricing policy before sign­ ing on the dotted line.

The 1988-89 academic year; The upcoming provincial budget will be closely watched for signs of what the government plans to do about university underfunding. Coté says this will give her a better idea of “where to go” on the issue. She would like to see more general assemblies this fall, but would prefer them to be more focussed so the “problem of maintaining quo­ rum” can be addressed. As examples of topics for general assemblies. Coté

mentions tuition fee increases and fuel air explosives research. Coté warns that students will have to act fast on tuition if there is a Quebec election next year. The Liberals have included tui­ tion increases as part of their election platform.

Perhaps most importantly for Coté, a new position of Vice President for Communications will proposed during the October student elections. If ap­ proved, the position would be ap­ pointed for the remainder of the year and then elected in the spring of 1989.

On campus life A space allocation study of the Un­ ion building has been completed and guess what? Clubs need space. Al­ though there isnt much that can be done in the near future, Coté says the 4th floor “needs to be reorganized” struc­ turally, adding “there’s to many doors up there”. She also wants to see a re­ view of the definition separating func­ tional groups (Women’s Union, Debat­ ing club...) from interest groups (South Africa Committee, Project Plough­ shares...). Functional groups receive more funding because they are sup­ posed to serve the whole student popu­ lation, yet Coté says they often do not and therefor she would like to examine the issue in depth.

On campus media Coté plans to meet with the Tribune Publications Board to examine the possibility of publishing the T ribune more often, “maybe twice a week.” She would like to use the back page of the T ribune to publicize StudSoc activi­ ties. As far as affording it all. Coté says the Society “is in good shape” finan­ cially. As for the D aily and CKUT-FM, Coté doesnt have much to say; “I dont have a problem - they’re independ­ ent...” As for the ASUS magazine, the P illa r , she says “it’s their creation.”

On Political Action “It may be necessary to become more politically active as a whole," says Coté, if the circumstances demand it. This would “increase [StudSocs’] visibility” - one of Cotés’ main objec­ tives. However, always the clever poltician, she is not willing to back any radical action like strikes, sit-ins or demonstrations because “it is debat­ able how effective this is.”

as a “stop-gap measure” to be incorpo­ rated into the External Affairs policy manual. Although Arts representative and successor to Alexander as VP External Mark Cameron questioned the legitimacy of passing the resolu­ tions, Council complied with Alexander’s suggestion and passed them.

Maria Battaglia presented her final report which outlined her major activi­ ties of the past year and, as she was re­ elected, proposed some projects for the summer. Among them is the prepara­ tion of a report outlining the use of the $100 course materials charge in indi­ vidual departments and faculties. Bat­ taglia also reported that a record num­ ber of applications were received for student representatives to Senate Committees next year and that 42 of the 48 positions had been filled.

The Housing Task Force Report, also presented by Battaglia, addressed the problems of student housing and will soon be brought before the Senate and Board of Governors. “Its purpose

is to show there is a need for student housing and to recommend ameliora­ tions to the Ghetto community,” she explained. She stressed that StudSoc and the University must lobby the government on the issue of financing.

Apparently, a Housing Act that allows the University to borrow money inter­ est-free for the construction of student housing has existed for over a decade but has been given little fiscal priority.

“The Act is on the books,” Battaglia said, “it’s just dormant.”

The only substantial debate of the meeting concerned the Native Affairs Committee’s proposed terms of refer­ ence and policy. They included articles calling for the recognition of the rights to “self-determination” and “full spiri­ tual expression” of aboriginal peoples.

Mark Cameron, who serves on the Native Affairs Committee, defined the self-determination provision as “rec­ ognizing that Natives have collective rights separate from the rest of Cana­ dian Society.” He pointed out that Council has passed resolutions in the

Pillar under fire Kalhok claims foul play

by Max Harrold Barely a.day old, the latest issue of the P illa r is already tainted with con­ troversy. A bitter dispute over an ar­ ticle in the magazine has erupted be­ tween Student Society VP Internal Amanda Kalhok and the P illa r ‘seditorial board. Kalhok claims she has been misrepresented concerning her policy on alcohol and drinking on campus.

The P illa r - published by the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) - maintains the article is “rea­ sonable and reliable” but is refusing to reveal its source.

The piece in question, M uch A do A bout N othing , by Dan Binnie, is a wide ranging satirical attack on student politicians. Although Kalhok is not specifically named, the article men­ tions her as being one of those student politicians “with a moral mission, like the nursing representative and the just elected Vice-President Internal [Kalhok] who would like to see alcohol banned from campus.”The article goes on to say that “these deviants have it within their power to infringe upon your continued enjoyment of univer­ sity life. Thankfully, most of them believe in nothing.”

Kalhok says she has never advo­ cated an alcohol ban, only supported a

decreased base price for beer at campus pubs. Minutes for the November 10th, 1987 Students’ Council meeting show that Kalhok voted in favour of a new base price of $ 1.25 instead of $ 1.50 per beer. P illa r Editor Mark Cote never­ theless insists Kalhok has “over a pe­ riod of time” made statements in favour of an alcohol ban. Sources in the article were “witness to comments she made at Students’ Society and at all-candi­ dates meetings,” explains Cote.

Kalhok says the conflict is at least partly due to political infighting among members of both the ASUS and StudSoc. She claims there are “cliques” and “not everyone is friends with each other.”

“The question is one of censorship,” says Cote. Kalhok thinks that “as a public official she’s above criticism,” he adds. The magazine is also upset that Kalhok went through confidential P illa r files without permission from the staff. Kalhok says StudSoc money will now have to be spent on sending letters to campus clubs to “reassure” them that this is not official policy. She requested that a retraction be inserted into the issue but Cote says “there will be no retraction, no erratum, no noth­ ing” from the P illar, adding that Kalhok “can try and sue us or send us a letter if she wants.”

Maria Battaglia argued that the pol­ icy is too broad and nebulous. “We might be getting ourselves into an area that we don’t really understand,” she stated. “We can be more helpful on a case to case basis; that’s the way we get things done in the University and in this province.” Reference was made to the Canadian Charter and the Meech Lake Accord as evidence of the policy’s conflict with Canada’s constitution.

Chris Alexander called the wording of the policy a “placebo” to assuage the conscience of Council rather than in­ forming them of the status of Canada’s Natives.

When it was moved to remove the article referring to self-determination from the policy, Mark Cameron brought the debate and the meeting to an end by withdrawing the terms of reference and policy completely. He told Council the self-determination article was essential to give the Native Affairs Committee a “basic frame­ work in which to work.” It will un­ doubtedly appear before next year’s Council.

Reps wait for justice

by Max Harrold In the wake of last week’s confusion and disagreement over elections of club representatives to Students’ Council, McGill’s Judicial Board has called an emergency meeting tonight (Tuesday, April 12 th) to decide on the legality of the election results and the appeal contesting them. The Board’s decision is crucial as the elections for StudSoc VP Finance and Council Speaker - schedueled for tomorrow cannot be held without duly elected club reps.

Chaos reigned at the elections, as of­ ficially designated club reps and other club members vied for the chance to run for the three Council seats allotted to McGill’s 67 clubs and interest groups. Freya Kodar, a non-voting member elected to Council, says she feels the electoral rules were “not clearly explained” to everyone at the meeting. Chief Returning Officer Christina Sbrocchi and StudSoc Ex­ ecutive Director Don McGemgle both admit to being at least partly respon­ sible for the “muddied atmosphere”.

The affair arises out of ambiguous electoral by-laws passed by Council this year. At present, clubs may nomi­ nate one official delegate to vote and run for the three Council spots. Others interpret the rules to mean non-designated, non-voting club members may also run. Each club has only one vote, however. The vote is also carried out in three phases, each round electing a rep and allowing all delegates to vote again. This situation allows for what some call “packing” a meeting and block voting arrangements. To help alleviate this, Kodar and Sbrocchi would like to see the top three votegetters elected in one round. McGerrigle wants the “rules made much clearer”. The Judicial Board members, newly installed and still unfamiliar with the rules themselves, have to de­ cide whether the appeal of the election con tin u ed on p a g e 7

A year of achievement!

As the last council comer of the year, this is dedicated to wrap up what I believe was a pretty good year. Wel­ come Week started the year off with a bang which lasted through Winter Carnival and Godspell. In between we had an information session on loans and bursaries followed by a demonstra­ tion in Quebec City, and a first ever general assembly focusing on “underfunding”, which is the hottest political issue since the tuition fee freeze!

Involvement and participation has been at its all time high even though there were some noticeable lows - the elections and the “Otis” concert! In the end students have dictated the success or failure of any event, but when the final tally is in the result is great.

*The V.P. University Affairs gets on to Board ofGovemors through Sen­ ate, bringing student representation to 5. *SSM U, IFC and the Graduates Society got together in an attempt to stop the eviction of four fraternities from University owned houses. *McGill students voted in a refer­ endum to collect monies for greater

*The Model United Nations Soci­ ety won tournaments at Harvard, Prin­ ceton and Toronto, the best team in North America. *The Debating Union hosted a tournament of 100 teams coming from as far as Scotland. *In November 80 McGill students went to Quebec City to demonstrate for loans and bursaries reform; over 2000 students from across Quebec attended. *Three blood drives on campus collected over 5000 pints of blood. *ASUS held a teach-in to protest the relative underfunding of the Arts faculty.

That you must attend, particularly if you have any connection with the Trib.

Booze wil be available, but it will run out.

Prizes will be awarded for the most ridiculous reasons And in case you haven't already figured it out, this is the annual year end Trib Party.

M ore than a mere editorial board As any insider will tell you, this year’s edition of the Tribune has approached disaster and narrowly escaped nihility on more than one occasion. But through the mass o f last-minute panics, the raft o f instant 20-pagers, and the deluge o f computer deaths,The Trib’s editorial staff has pulled together to pull it off. And since this is the 25th in a 25 piece set, a little praise should be given for a lot o f work that has gone into this publica­ tion.

The work dates back to August, 1987, when a restructuring plague set the stage for the entire year. It was at that time that the Trib was moved to a new, more spacious office. But new meant old games room, no ventilation and 30 degree weather. More spacious meant two things: more space, yes; but more room because everything was lost from the old office. Somehow the ed. board kept cool until we had climate control and somehow they found everything the Trib needed.

The Trib also underwent paramount changes in the typesetting department, acquiring state of the art computer equipment that meant virtual self-suffi­ ciency. The change also translated into a doubling of the workload for the pro­ duction staff. They rallied though, conquering the almighty Mac and meeting deadlines with ever-increasing ease.

The ed. board was also presented with an inexperienced chiefton who decided exactly how everything was to be done. Luckily, the tyranny was brought under control by the political left of the board, and the cheese changed his dictatorial ways.

So here they are, the shakers, the movers and the dedicated fools that saw their academic careers go down the tubes so that twenty-five issues could be strewn across campus.

Tanya Van Valkenburg (Assis­ tant Editor): Absolutely telepathic, Tanya rose to the occasion whenever there was a need. Tanner singlehandedly saved the Trib on more that one occasion and brought a socially conscious voice to the paper. A supporter of the greater cause, Tanner has been known to write: “There is a way to change this bleak situation, but it entails a different tactic than negotiation: it entails activism.” Don’t let up Tanya, keep on shaking those foundations.

Kate Morisset (Features Editor): A true mother o f confederation, Kate has brought democracy, equality and total gender neutrality to the Tribune.

Even the Sports section has adopted your position Kate, you should be proud. For the second year in a row, Kate has somehow managed to take care of all the details which escape the attention of mere mortals. As next year’s big cheese, Kate can only make the Tribune better. Above all, Kate is constantly teaching us about ourselves: “Eat lots of green vegetables,” writes Kate, “You are low in iron.”

Jennifer Mori (News Editor): Jennifer’s scoopulous campus coverage was severely missed when she suddenly realized that an un­ started honours thesis was due in less than four weeks. Senior Council cor­ respondent, Jeni probably knew StudSoc better than the elected officials themselves. But more than a mere news reporter, Jeni’s news were so deep, they dug gaping holes in the administration. “M cGill’s nefarious course materials charge...” will not be forgotten Jennifer.

Jennifer Henderson: (Entertain­ ment Editor): A pillar of organisation and efficiency, Jenhen is living proof that you don’t have to be computer literate to survive in the eighties.

Jeni’s dedication to the arts has secured the Trib an eternal supply of free records, tapes and movie passes.

More than a Mirror future journalist (pun intended), Jen is a warm and caring person and will be dearly missed. About herself, Jeni writes: “I'm not one of those hippy vegetarians, but I like a well balanced meal as much as the next person.”

Jamie Alden (Sports Editor): A virtual unknown reporter in Septem­ ber, Jamie is by now one of the greatest names in sportsjoumalism to come out of McGill. Averaging as many articles per issue as he did points per game on the court, Alden has improved the quality of the sports section by leaps and bounds. Mere writers can predict sports outcomes, but it takes a true wizard like Mr. Alden to preconceive paradigmatic shifts in sports history. Undoubtedly a man ahead of his time, Jamie will succeed despite his modesty. “Even us ex-atheletes-tumed-sportswriters have to find inner reservoirs of zealous energy to pull ourselves away from the television or this week’s Steinberg flyer.” You can do it Jamie.

Lionel Chow (Photo Editor): In the true Tribune tradition, Lionel has transcended virtually every facet of newspaper publication. Setter of ads, writer of editorials, computer guru and production faithful, Lionel could probably put the paper to bed in his sleep. Leaving no stones unturned, Lionel has even dabbled in political reporting: “No matter how hard you try, you just cannot make John Turner look good!” Ciao Lionel.

Stephanie Zelman (Production Manager): Once again a stickler for detail and design, Steph gave the Trib that extra oomph in appearance that certain tyrannical dictators may have overlooked. But even the Trib’s full time production person found time to put her penchant for political prose into print. “Democracy is only a word unless it is consciously put into ie deadly veto power Steph. And you’d

Mike Crawley(Features Editor): A late addition to the family, Mike has become one of the most prolific of all Tribbles. Saving the best for last, next year’s Entertainment Editor took complete control of the spoof issue and single-handedly drove us into fits of hysteria. But you didn’t fool them all Mike, sorry, not enough typos.

You never could spell anything wrong. A great writer and an excellent critic, Mike demands the right questions: “How much breezier can the Gazette get?” Nail the pros while you can Mike, you’re bound to be one of them some day.

Max Harrold (News Editor): Thrust into the position of solitude. Max handled the pressure with ease.

Master of the “News B rie f’ and slasher of Council manifestos, Max the news machine wrote entire sections in a single bound. You are truly irreplaceable Max. Much more that a mere news junkie, M. Harrold brought true originality to the enter­ tainment pages. But after coining the phrase: “the ultimate ligitimization of camp,” how can one hope to get better. Continuing his journalistic career, Max goes to Washington this summer. Good luck Bonzo.

Special thanks also goes out to the devoted few who gave their time, their GP A and their sanity to the Trib. Production pro Charlie Quinn, graphics god Tom Inoué, and lifesaver Collin Tomlins deserve more than an honourable men­ tion.. But that's all they get 'cause we're outa time and outa space. Goodnight.

better come back next year!

Mariam Bouchoutrouch (Production Manager): Tom between a career as a production manager and a Council reporter, Mariam was also one o f the true saviors of the Trib.

Remember all those Sunday afternoons in your bedroon Mariam?

The paper simply would not have come out if you hadn’t taken the computer home. Mariam dabbled with true journalistic fever, irking Student’s Council with harmless phrases like: "Tenebaum claimed ignorance...” Don’t worry, they’ll get over it. Hope to see you back next year Mariam.

Isabelle Pepin (Ad Manager): Isabelle possesses the rare and inexpicable ability to successfully negotiate with Students’ Society. Not only did she wrangle out of them a new laser printer, a 20 meg hard disk and lotsa little computer goodies, she managed to give the Trib more 16 and 20 pagers than ever before.

EDITORIAL

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, April 12,1988

Ramblings of a psychotic idealist Some people have been delud­ ing themselves lately. These eter­ nal optimists have been heard to say, “Oh, isn’t it wonderful? The student apathy of the 80s is end­ ing!”

Bullcrap, folks.

University students, particu­ larly those at this fine Royal Insti­ tution for the Advancement of Learning, are still in their own little individual worlds. Nobody truly cares about anyone else.

Everyone’s sole concern is per­ sonal survival. Protest and caring

are not conducive to succeeding in the world. This is an undeniable fact; the economic situation has deteriorated to the extent that get­ ting a decent job upon graduation is far from a fait accompli.

However, there is an assump­ tion inherent in such an philosophy that bothers me. ‘Succeeding in the world’ is measured in dollars and cents and not by benefits to society.

Success at McGill is measured by GPA and not by what one learns or what contributions one makes to

life in this comer of the universe.

So it seems that my simple solu­ tion to all the world’s problems would consist of a redefinition of what is important to our genera­ tion. This may sound naïve, but think back to the sixties. There was at one point in time a large segment of society that truly did give a shit.

Some have gone on to eternal yuppiedom, having decided they pre­ ferred the ‘me’ concept of success over the ‘we’, but the fact remains that idealistic action was and is still possible.

Perhaps the forum in which social change is best realized has been shifted. Students used to be the ones with the necssary time and social networks. With the adventof unemployment and severe exam pressure, such essential resources, which any sociologist will tell you are the key to social movements, became scarce. Today, spare re­ sources lay in the hands of profes­ sionals. So it is left to those who pull in a salary and aren’t expected to do homework to spend some of their leisure time working for

change.

Therefore, it will soon be up to us. When we each enter the real world, wouldn ’t it be great if every­ one either had a job that could promote the social welfare of soci­ ety (government, media, health, for example) or else spent time con­ tributing to good causes?

Oh well, never mind - this is just some idiot rambling on about making the world a better place.

Nothing important.

Bank$: You’re taking the Charge!

by Jamie Alden Every time I start talking about how banks squeeze money from the public out of service charges to pay for their Third World debts, my stomach starts to chum. Does it really make any sense to pay the bank money, to invest your money, so they can earn interest on it?

Because that’s what happening when you see that dreaded SC on your monthly statement.

Don’t get me wrong. I ’m not like Micheal J. Fox who remembers the first time he saw a dollars sign; I just like to get the most for my money. So if you’re a student who wants all the conveniences of chequing, instabanking, and a token bit of interest, its im­ portant to explore the possibilities.

If you have to bank with one of the big three, here’s a breakdown of the service charges.

The Bank ofMontreal offers three different accounts. The Investment Chequing account allows for free chequing, withdrawls and transfers as long as your account is over 600$.

Tenure.... continued fro m p a g e 10 when that happens. Yet the presi­ dent of the McGill Association of Uni­ versity Teachers (MAUT), Prof. Abbot Conway, says “-most do achieve ten­ ure”.

Nevertheless, only professors who are a safe bet for eventual tenure ap­ proval are usually hired. Once tenured, that professor has a job for life, if he or she wants it. Tenure, as the CAUT puts it, can be “terminated only through res­ ignation, retirement or dismissal for good reasons as established by a proper hearing.”

What happens to performance once a professor is tenured? According to William Brehaut of the Ontario Insti­ tute for Studies in Education, “tenuree has on occasion offered refuge to those who have ceased to meet the high stan­ dards of scholarship expected of them by colleagues and the public.” Y et the CAUT maintains, somewhat defen­ sively, that “tenured appointments are

Here’s the catch; drop under the magic 600$ mark at any time during the month and you pay 50 cents per trans­ action for every transaction you made during that month. In other words you get severely toasted. If your account drops below 200$ once during the month you are charged a $ 1.00 monthly maintenance fee. What the hell are they maintaining?

The Investment Savings account bums you just the same, and you can’t write cheques.

Finally, the "True Chequing" ac­ count- quaint name for an account that gives you no interest, charges 35 cents per cheque, 50 cents per monthly state­ ment and gives you free cheque safe­ keeping. Can someone tell me what free cheque safekeeping is? I f you are an American student beware of the $2.50 charge for cashing American cheques.

The Royal Bank of Canada has a plethora of different options, so I ’ll just go a few of the more practical alterna­

vitally important because they provide assurance that those who hold them will have unrestrained to develop their scholarly capacity.” Without tenure, adds the CAUT, “the university would cease to be a centre o f excellence by active, original and creative research and teaching. It could become charac­ terized by timidity, subservience and caution.”

So where are all McGill’s politi­ cally active (and controversial) tenured professors? Well, certain professors past and present - in the political sci­ ence department come to mind, as do others involved in the debate over fuel air explosives research. But they are unlikely to get fired for being too opiniated. If the University did move to dis­ miss someone for thinking too much, that professor would have recourse to the same rights and freedoms guaran­ teed us all, plus tenure.

All in all, professors seem to be in conflict with one another more often than with academic higher-ups or the non-academic world outside. Indeed, tenure is currently characterized more by its internal office politics than its noble aim to protect free speech. As

tives. T h e B an kbookchequ in g account allows for free cash withdrawls and charge 40 cents for each cheque writ­ ten. The interest is 3% on this account, calculated on the minimun half-yearly credit balance. To give you an ex­ ample, if you’re account drops to $100 dollars at any time during the six month period, not uncommon for us students, you will receive a healthy $1.50 inter­ est from the bank. Aren’t you ecstatic!

The P erson al chequing account gives you no interest and charges you 40 cents for every cheque, cash withdrawl or transfer made. The Signature Daily Interest Account offers both savings and chequing. Interest is low, but you are allowed two free debits per month, before being charged 40 cents for each transaction, insta-withdrawl, cheque, transfer or anything. There is also a $ 1.00 fee if your minmum monthly balance is below $200. There is an account that is just savings that is al­ most totally free of charge. Its called the Bonus Savings Account and the interest is 4.75%. There are unlimited withdrawls with no monthly mainte­

Robert Fulford said recently in Satur­ day Night, ‘Tenure is mainly a professor’s defence against other ten­ ured professors.”

The whole issue of university un­ derfunding underscores the need for the academic freedom tenure protects, says the MAUT’s Conway. Professors are at least somewhat protected from the harsh realities government cut­ backs and the laws of supply and de­ mand impose. Conway readily admits that international academic exchange is less fervent than it once was (“lateral leaps are quite rare”) yet he still sees a healthy rate of turnover. Teachers do leave because of personal and health reasons, he says. “The nature of our subject is stressful,” Conway adds, resulting in “interesting human trage­ dies.” Conway says incompetent and/ or unsuitable tenured professors usu­ ally leave in “a quiet [monetary] ar­ rangement” with the university.

Strictly from a job security point of view, McGill may be one of the few remaining places in Canada where ten­ ure still works as a real bargaining chip for the professor. Most other universi­ ties have recognized teachers’ unions.

nance charge.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce has a C om b in ation Account that is probably the best of the Big Three. As long as your account doesn’t drop below 500$ at any time during the calendar month, there is no account maintenance fee and cheques and withdrawls are totally free. There is another Chequing Savings account that gives you the same interest, and does not charge fees if the monthly balance is below 500$. Each cheque costs 35 cents, but for every 100$ in your account during an entire quarter period, you get one cheque paid for free. This account is excellent if you only have to write cheques once or twice a month. For strict savings ac­ counts ask for the Regular Savings A c­ count, not the Daily Interest Savings Account. With this account there are no service charge for withdrawls, and the interest is 4 and 3/4%.

After reading all of this, doesn’t it make you think that you may be better off keeping your money in your mat­

McGill does not. The effect is that a professor still negotiates his/her con­ tract individually with McGill whereas other professors are bound by collec­ tive agreements (salaries, working conditions) already in place at each university.

Professors will admit that theirs is an ancient guild arrangement, much like that in the legal and medical com­ munities. They will defend it because of the intangible value it has for soci­ ety. English Professor Conway says his research is the result of “years of medi­ tation”. Tenure, says he, is "not an ivory tower,” but a certain amount of academic isolation is still necessary.

The CAUT seems to sense public unease about tenure. A recent CAUT publication asks the question “What is fair?” for peer review committees when dealing with professorial tenure.

The publication notes that “problems can and do arise” when professors are evaluated for tenure. For obvious rea­ sons, the basic philosophical premise behind tenure is never looked at. The whole issue remains oneof job security and the very special kind of security professors have. The nature of tenure is

tress, instead of putting it into a bank. If your account dips below these mini­ mum monthlys, its probably the best al­ ternative. A Bank of Montreal Teller even went so far as to agree with me, when I asked her if I would be better of f hiding my money in a pillow.

If you want to cut down on the service charges, try some of the Trust companies around. At Eaton Bay Trust I had free withdrawls, free chequing, free statements, free money orders, free money exchange and as Vidal Sasoon says “and so on, and so on, and so on.” I guess they were too good though because Laurentian Trust bought them out last month and they no longer exist. As long as there’s not another Principal Trust fiasco. Trust companies are safe bets that give high interest and have low service charges.

The problem is most of them don’t have instabanks. Remember, interest at banks is the least important thing to worry about when one service charge wipes out all the interest you earned in the last month.

no t being adressed by anyone ins ide the academic community. Anyone who questions it from the outside is usually considered ignorant or crazy.

Should professors be separate from the rest of the world? Are they?

It seems the truth about tenure really is that it is a system. You either believe in it or you’re out.

Reps.... continued from p ag e 3 results is a valid one, since it must legally be launched within 48 hours of the vote. StudSoc VP University Af­ fairs Maria Battaglia says “the whole issue has been prescribed in time.” A Judicial Board meeting schedueled for Saturday will be held regardless of the outcome of tonight’s meeting, she added. The Board will look at different options, ranging from requesting a clearer set of by-laws up to and includ­ ing the annulment of the election re­ sults.

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, April 12,1988

Internal justice first, please!

To the Editors; I attended the student quorum of March 16, and, folllowing Principal Johnston’s elegant and moving words about the need for action to rectify the underfunding of McGill, I raised the question of the relative underfunding of the Arts faculty here. With all due respect, I continue to question the Principal’s implicit denial that any budgeting changes should take place within the university.

The quorum seemed to establish that Canadian universities as a whole are underfunded, that Quebec universities are underfunded relative to universities in other provinces, and that McGill is underfunded relative to other Quebec universities. There is no reason why we should not simultaneously campaign for justice at all of these levels, since a solution at one level does not mean a panacea for local problems.

Isn’t it hypocritical to ask for parity in funding at the provincial level if we

ignore the inequities of the budget at our own institution? Yes, Principal Johnston, we will raise our voices within this province, but you give me little hope that we will be heard there if you yourself shut out this protest with an eloquent statement of universitywide suffering.

Yes, we all suffer. We all suffer from exorbitant student-teacher ratios, lack of classroom space, lack of basic edu­ cational supplies. But we do not suffer equally. Those lower profile disci­ plines which bring less voluble public acclaim to the university have been neglected. On the other hand, the higher profile ones which are thought to maintain some of McGill’s reputa­ tion for excellence in the face of in­ creasing financial difficulties have not borne their share of the burden.

There is a flaw to the logic here. If a book costs less than a microscope, if the “real cost per Arts student” is less than the “real cost per Science/Medi-

cal/Engineering et al. student”, then why do we reach for excellence in the most expensive areas when we are al­ ready so much in debt and liable to get deeper? Why not seek instead for ex­ cellence within the largest and most economical faculty, so more people could benefit?

But I am not arguing that we should not buy up-to-date microscopes. I sim­ ply ask that a science student wait just as long to get that new microscope as I do to get a book that really ought to have been ordered years ago. Why did it take so long to get the same computer system installed in McLennan as has been in place in the medical library for a few years?

All the faculties contribute in visible and invisible ways to the productivity of this university. Perhaps the way in which Arts students and staff contrib­ ute to the university and the society as a whole is, as I said to our Principal, not so obvious as the contribution of other

Rugby probation deemed unfair

by Jeremiah Castille McGill University enjoys a certain reputation on this continent, it is even world famous for some things. Though many students might not know or be­ lieve it, one aspect of its world reputa­ tion rests with its Rugby Club.

Around here McGill Rubgy is as the Athletic Department’s ‘problem child’. Assistant Intercollegiate Coor­ dinator, Ken Schildroth was quoted as saying “the problems with McGill Rugby have been going on since 1982”.

I f one looks at the list of incidents from 1982 to 1985 one would have to agree.

The McGill University Rugby Football Club (M.U.R.F.C.) claims that the 1982 to 1985 bunch of trouble­ makers have graduated and that the club has behaved relatively well over the past two years. They think they should be appreciated. Last year they went to the final four in the Madrid seven’s tournament and were the high­ est scorest team; they also won the Tulane Mardi Gras tournament this year with an astounding 9 7 - 0 total

points record.

Great, let's see the damage reports from Spain and New Orleans though.

There were none! Yet this seem­ ingly improved group of champions is on probation next year. Why? The Athletic Department received a letter of complaint from Harvard University this year. Two incidents were reported: a billboard worth S60 U.S. was damaged, and a female floor fellow was insulted when she got into an arguement with a person she be­ lieved was from McGill.

brand new tennis courts on our practice field in 1986. We are forced to be a travelling club. Out of 65 members of the Club, maybe two screw up at Har­ vard -if it was us- and in my last year here all I get is a trip to Bishops. One ‘away’ game and no homefield. What am I supposed to say? ‘Gee thanks for not suspending us’?”

Professor Hills of the Geography department played Rugby for McGill from 1950-51. He commented that “It seems unfair to put them on probation.

I hear they get some twenty to twentyfive new players each year. What about them? What we used to do was we’d find the culprits and suspend them.

That seemed to work.”

Making things work is important because despite its faults the Rugby Club contributes greatly to McGill. It is an independent club and therefore pro­ vides great training experience for those who organize it. It is essentially financially independent and travels the world. Here at McGill, Rugby is an inexpensive sport and a great way to meet people in September.

Rugby Union entails much more than a field and fifteen goons aside bashing heads however. There are Rugby traditions to be followed ; a reception for the visiting club, games, a post-game sing-song and party, and punishment for those who misbehaved.

The M.U .R.F.C. is one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs on the conti­ nent. Rugby Union is by far the fastest growing contact sport in North Amer­ ica and indeed, the world. There is no reason why the M.U.R.F.C. should continue to be McGill’s ‘problem child’ . The club executive and McGill’s Athletic Department should work together to repair this situation and implement an individual punitive system so that the club doesn’t suffer for the actions of a few individuals.

McGill Rugby is a great tradition.

In the Paris edition of the International Herald Tribune of Feb.19, 1988, Bob Donahue wrote “When McGill played Harvard in 1874, the game was Rugby”. It is pathetic that as this game flourishes in North America, one of its founding fathers stagnates on proba­ tion.

faculties. We do not make medical breakthroughs which save millions of lives. Nevertheless, our ideas shape those lives, shape the texture of our world and affect its progress, its sur­ vival. To respect and value us as we deserve is to share a fair load of the

underfunding with us. When the acute necessity for budget reform within McGill has been acknowledged and begun to be acted upon, then I will have time to write a letter to Claude Ryan.

C onted not "cash cow " To the Editor; I wish to thank you for your front page story on the MACES election (Trib March 22). You have shown far more campus oriented responsibility than your competi­ tor. Perhaps their reluctance to cover the issues has something to do with the adver­ tisements the trustee and his employee are running, at our members' expense.

The main issues this year are not my past problems, covered in your article. As you mentioned I had my day in court and won.

In fact several cases that have affected both Penal Law and the rights of people on parole throughout this great country. I am currently waiting for the Governor-General to exercise her Royal Prerogative and write the end to the final chapter in my battle to clear my name.

The issues in our current election are the following: Should McGill have the right to impose former or surplus university staff at a cost of about $60,000 per year on an association that has no facilities, or services to direct, but does have a total income of $ 180,000?

There is a Provincial law that obliges a University to provide office space for rec­ ognised student organizations. When I was the President of MACES, I successfully had McGill honor their obligations and provide an office. Since McGill staff have had free access to our funds, they have chosen to spend over $ 12,000 per y ear for an off -cam pus office.

McGill offers Conted students a series of certificates. All other Quebec institutions accept three certificates as the equivalent of a Degree for access to Graduate Studies .

Not McGill. The only degrees offered are a Part-time B.Com and some limited en­ rollment education programs for practicing

teachers. Two years ago McGill cut off the majority o f Conted Students from the MBA program by creating the Diploma in Man­ agement (Applied). We do the same work and are taught by the same teachers who teach some of the MBA I courses and we want that access back again.

McGill Languages students pay almost $200 per course. At UQAM, Université de Montréal, and Concordia, students pay $77 or less for the same courses because they are accepted in certificate and degree pro­ grams. We have language teachers who also teach the same course at the other institutions using the same book. If we had a certificate that led to an Arts or Science Degree, these courses could count for credit and drop in cost. I had started serious nego­ tiations with Dean Maxwell and Associate Deans Teitlebaum and Neidlehoffer for this exact purpose when Mr. Bourke decided to interfere with my program. That was the real issue at the time, the rest was a conven­ ient smokescreen.

Conted students have absolutely no fa­ cilities such as Gym access, student serv­ ices, counseling, etc. The province has provided McGill with funds for these serv­ ices for years through the Daytime Equiva­ lent Formula. For every four course aggre­ gate of one or more students, the province kicks in a facilities and services amount to McGill. It’s time some of that money was spent on Conted people instead of treating us as a cash cow.

These are the main issues I have raised in my campaign to be President of MACES once again. And I thank you once again for your responsible attitude and your support.

Yours Sincerely, Harvey Litvack

Volunteer work: a different type of remuneration

by Margot Naudie Marina Boulos is rolling - and it’s not drugs. The recent McGill graduate has overcome what are often difficult problems for students just entering the work-force: having experience and doing something enjoyable.

At the age of 24, she is a registered drug consultant, has worked for a num­ ber of non-profit organizations, and has been the host of a one-hour CBC TV production “Know Drugs”. Not bad for someone who graduated last May. Boulos credits her successful transi­ tion from student to professional with volunteer work. She has been actively involved in community groups for a number of years, first as a way to sup­ plement her psychology degree, later for enjoyments sake and now as a full­ time job.

She says her studies in psychology “haven’t helped me at all - the only good thing is that they taught me how to work, read and write.” This, in the private sector, is obviously not enough! She feels that except for a few required courses in quantitative re­ search methods there is “no practical sense to a degree”. This is particularly true, she feels of courses in the psychol­ ogy/ social work areas, as the differ­ ences between theory and practice be­ come clear: in classrooms, you “study a topic without really feeling it.”

Feeling it is something that Boulos does now. Her work as counsellor began at a drug rehab centre where she was coupled with addicts in the “buddy system”. Other volunteer jobs folsearch methods there is "no practical sense to a degree”. This is particularly true, she feels of courses in the psychol­ ogy/ social work areas, as the differ­ ences between theory and practice be­ come clear: in classrooms, you “study a topic without really feeling it.”

Feeling it is something that Boulos does now. Her work as counsellor began at a drug rehab centre where she was coupled with addicts in the “buddy system”. Other volunteer jobs fol­ lowed and then in 1987 she become an independent counsellor. Her drug talks at some 20 Montreal highschools and CEGEPS (evenMcGill) led to her CBC show.

Fulfillment, she says, comes from the reactions of the audience to her talks. A quick recollection to high school conjures up images of matronly patronizing anti-drug bitches claiming that smoking was the work of the devil.

This Marina is not. Rather she is knowl­ edgeable and ‘hip’ and gives them in­ formation upon which they may base their judgments: Obviously such infor­ mation may only feed the fire, but “I don’t give them recipes.”

The message delivered is a compas­ sionate one stating the downsides in­ volved with abuse. The reactions, she says, have been marvelous: “I knew they were interested when they said

‘shut up’ to one another - T want to listen. ’” She says the best experience is having a student come up to her after­ ward, telling her “It was the best drug talk I ’ve ever had."

These moments reinforce her belief in her work and her love of it. She vie ws this as being indicative of the impor­ tance of volunteer work - enjoying ful­ filling an important need in the com­ munity. The renumeration, while often not financial, comes out in experience.

She does not believe that she would have been marketable with a straight B.A. or even a masters, as they are very far removed from the ‘real world'. “I have learnt everything through my work experience,” she states.

Goals are important for the student who is about to enter the job market. Be it for purely ‘enlightened self-interest’ or more altruistic reasons, volunteer work serves an important purpose. And as Marina Boulos’ case makes clear, the experience earned is invaluable (not to mention a little bit of feeling good!). So when it comes to marking out next year’s schedule or deciding what to do this summer, keep it in mind.

Outlook from overseas

by Kelly Mulcair Last spring, the McGill student body voted in favor of sponsoring two students through the auspices of World University Services Canada (W U SC). T h e students, Peter Swirski and Magda Ghirmay, were selected amongst a pool o f candi­ dates applying through W USC’s head office in Ottawa. Peter, ana live of Poland, is currently completing a

bachelor’s degree in English Litera­ ture, while Magda, bom in Ethiopia,is m her first year o f General Sciences. In a recent interview with Magda and Peter, the students shared some of their experiences and impressions o f McGill University, Montreal and Canada.

T n b : Why did you decide to leave Ethiopia/Poland?

M agda, t left Ehiopia because the government wouldn’t give me the pa­

Looking

by Margot Naudie The Canadian Wilderness is about as close as you can get to a perfect balance of challenging terrain and peaceful tranquility. It is also the perfect setting for courses offered by the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School. The school - called ‘bobwebs’ by its staff and volunteers - is one of 34 schools worldwide which teach outdoor skills and in so doing promote personal thought and growth.

Outward Bound’s motto is “to serve, to strive and not to yield.” Discipline and character-building were features taught by its founder, Kurt Hahn. After being imprisonned in Nazi Germany during World War II, Hahn fled to Britain. There, in 1941, he set up the first Outward Bound to prepare British mariners for the hardships of war, specifically promoting the neces­ sary skills and mental resolve to endure being ship­ wrecked.

A flashback to old Gilligan’s Island reruns will remind people that close quarters, bland food and lack of conventional plumbing can make for great memo­ ries and close friendships. This is particularly true when there is a task at hand and you know you’ll be going home.

The programs are very physically demanding.

Idyllic canoeing is interrupted by excrutiatingly dif­ ficult portages along narrow, gnarled and wet paths stretching as long as one and a half miles. The packs are heavy and the canoes heavier; it rains; bugs bite; people bitch. You get lost and frustrated. You feel as if you will never make it over that wall - either physi­ cally or emotionally.

where I lived for a couple of years work­ ing for the United Nations.

Trib: How did you become involved with WUSC? M agda: A friend told me about it and I applied. There was an aptitude test which had to be completed along with the application. There were about fifty students at the time who were also trying to get into Canada, only about five or six were chosen so I'm very lucky. I think I had an advantage because I had applied to WUSC early.

P eter: A lady from the United Na­ tions gave me a long list of addresses of organizations in Canada who might be willing to sponsor me. I wrote about ten or fifteen letters and WUSC was the only organization that replied. I sent a resume, pictures and completed a for­ mal application, and six months later, I was accepted.

Trib: What are your impressions of Canada?

M agda: I love the peace and no one bothering you. In Ehiopia, my family had to go to government meetings and the political situation was getting worse and worse. The military service was also very oppresive.It’s the freedom I like in Canada.

Peter: I like the peacefulness, the quiet and the fact that there is little crime in Canada. I ’m a very private person and I enjoy the fact that I can live my own life the way I want to without anyone both­ ering me.

Trib: what about the people you have

met in Canada; are they different from those in your native country?

M agda: The people are more sociable in Ethiopia. People aren’t as friendly in Montreal. The culture is different. I felt free with my friends in Ethiopia. Here I feel that Canadian friendship is restric­ tive. It’s so different.

Peter: As a country, Canada is a mar­ velous place, its everything I expected it to be, but in terms of the people, it’s so frigid. Back in Europe, people are straightforward, outspoken; their people, human. Here, everything you do, people are so damn suspicious. I really miss the European attitude; the generosity of feel­ ing.

Trib: What are your impressions of McGill University as an academic institu­ tion?

M agda: I don’t have much to compare McGill to because I was in high school in Ethiopia. The teachers move much faster here than in Ehiopia. Everything is much slower in Ethiopia. I found it very hard to keep up with my professors at first but now it’s getting easier.

Peter: Back in Europe, I had heard so much about McGill’s reputation, prestige and that it was the best university in Canada. Frankly, the atmosphere here is really like a high school. To start with, there is no room to really express yourself.

Not only are you not encouraged to par­ ticipate in your classes but you’re basi­ cally frowned upon if you do. In Europe, there was a greater exchange of ideas but here there is a strict division between the professor and the class. The idea is to be

quiet, sit down, be dumb, copy every­ thing they tell you and that’s it. In Eu­ rope the attitude was that you are there to learn something rather than simply have information passed on to you.

Here, at McGill if you speak up in class you’re almost ostracized.

Trib: Are you awareof any ofthe cur­ rent issues at McGill - for example the problem of McGill underfunding?

M agda: I have read articles on underfunding in the Daily. I think McGill should raise tuitions or at least raise their academic standards so the educa­ tion system can continue to operate ef­ ficiently.

Peter: I think it’s ridiculous that the only Canadian University that the world seems to know about is so desper­ ately underfunded. I think the govern­ ment has a lot to do with it.

Trib: Do you miss Ethiopia/Poland?

M agda: I miss my friends in Ethio­ pia. My mother is able to come to Can­ ada and visit quite often so that is good.

Also two other members of my family live in Montreal.

Peter: I don’t miss Poland as a place to live: the martial law Poland, the com­ munist Poland; if the tip of the iceberg could be removed and if Poland were an English speaking country, I would have stayed. But I left because I always wanted to make a career as an English writer and because the political situ­ ation as such was too repressive. I couldn’t take it. All the joy is taken away from you.

T ravel Beginnings Josh Fellman A World of Difference: Every ident’s guide to off-beat work, travel d study opportunitites.

Lisa Yarmoshuk and Chris Coy Broadview Press, 1988, $12.95 Don’t expect Linda Frum. This is esitially a reference book, well deibed by its title. It is a little hard to ike a qualitative judgement without a trough knowledge of the topics cov;d, but I shall hazard that this is a fairly od sourcebook. Not perfect, but a od place to start.

It is arranged in a fairly straightforird fashion, divided into three secns: one for study, one for work and e for travel. Within each section are ief write-ups on the programmes ofed, with point form information, a ort overview, and comments from st participants. There are also “student ofiles”, short essays containing a variy of information on different topics, d, very usefully, capsule book reews.

The book appears to be fairly comehensive and useful. However, there e a few drawbacks. The first is the yout. The print is packed too tightly to readable; the design gives the hand­

book a “government document” look and feel. Ironically, the upbeat tone and non-judgmental air of the work present another problem; everything sounds so good that it is almost impossible to make realistic judgements on the pro­ grams. One also wonders if the authors haven’t concentrated on Canada to the exlusion of international or non-Cana­ dian programs. The most serious prob­ lem is the book’s focus. The brief syn­ opses of the various service, develop­ ment and government are useful, but the authors provide precious little solid information on how individuals could create their own off-beat experiences.

The book has just slightly too much of an formal, organizational tilt. This is shown in the section on work overseas section which has plenty on IAESTE and AIESC but little concrete in the way of job-hunting or working for foreign governments. This focus may be a con­ science choice due to space constraints, but it leaves one with a slightly confined feeling.

But, to be fair, the book is very useful, at least as a start, and is well worth the $12.95. It can be found at the McGill bookstore as well as many other general interest book stores in Mon treal.

C a f Tiers:

by Rodolfo Narvaez C a f Tiers is not just another coffee shop. It is an information, distribution and education centre on Third World issues, the setting for Third World documentaries, theatre and music, and a good place to get em panadas and other vegetarian delights. Caf’Tiers is also a non-profit collective - a measure of its philosophy of commitment - fi­ nanced by the monthly contributions of its 40 members and run by 70 volun­ teers who also serve on various com­ mittees.

Founded in November of 1985, the centre grew out of the initiative of members of Development and Peace an organization that deals with the problems and alternatives facing the countries o f the Third W orld.

“Caf’Tiers came out of the need to have a place where information could be provided on a regular basis,” explains President Louise Landriault. “We

the Third World coff brary doesn’t immerse you in culture.

Every Thursday at Caf’Tiers people from different ethnic groups, universi­ ties and organizations talk about the reality of the lives of people living in the Third World. These discussions are not only about social, economic and geo-political issues, but about the cul­ ture and everyday customs of these peoples.

Fridays are movie nights - mainly documentaries at present, but the col­ lective would like to expand to alterna­ tive films as well. Saturdays are re­ served for education throught the arts, with music, theatre and poetry per­ formed by Third World artists.

wanted a place where our work of soli­ darity could be a part of our very lives and values. The project has helped us to achieve this.”

In fact, the goals of this collective are literally written on its walls. It is a carrefour of international solidarity, a place for the exchange of ideas, the fostering of awareness through educa­ tion and organized events. One of their objectives is to provide financial assistance to self-generated socio­ economic development projects in underdeveloped countries. The idea is to sensitize Montrealers to the reali­ ties of world hunger, the situation of women in poor countries, the causes of underdevelopment and possible so­ lutions, international assistance and peace. The focus at Caf’Tiers is pri­ marily on Latin America and Africa.

So why go to Caf'Tiers for this kind of information when the library might be more convenient? Because the li­

On special occasions, volunteers cook ethnic foods to provide a more authen­ tic mood to the event (and why not leant through the stomach?).

Paul Cauchy, responsible for volun­ teers and reception at the centre, ex­ plains the decision to make CaFTiers vegetarian as based on a politico-eco­ nomic principle: “It is impossible for the population of the whole world to live on a meat diet. Meat industries consume from ten to fifteen times the amount of protein that vegetarian pro­ duction does. This is equal to the pro­ tein deficit of the Third World.”

Cauchy points out that while cattle raising in underdeveloped countries generally occupies thousands of acres of land that could be more efficiently used to grow crops, factory-farming techniques in the North are inhumanely cruel. “I find that through vegetarian­ ism we are trying to promote a kind of life that is less destructive here and elsewhere,” he said.

If you would like to work as a volun­ teer, or buy tea from Sri Lanka and coffee from Nicaragua, or simply to sample an em panada, Caf’Tiers is lo­ cated at 4837 Parc, just north of Villeneuve.

Bright Lights; Power Failure

by M ax Harrold

This movie is a disappointment.

What could have been an interesting testimonial to the thoughtless, point­ less younger than yuppie 80’s cliché character is instead a choppy, awkward little failure. On the other hand, the hero of Jay Mclnemey’s book Bright Lights Big City is exactly that too. The catch is in the transition from book to film. As is often the case, it doesn’t work. Michael J. Fox is miscast in the central role of Jamie Conway. Al­

though he deserves ‘A ’ for effort. Fox is still stuck in his Family T ies - Alex Keaton mode. Try to imagine the Kea­ ton character in the skin of an aimless young cokehead writer doing the club scene in Manhattan. Fox still has all those preppy mannerisms and, at times, doesn’t look a day over 17.

Mclnemey’s book is an insightful assortment of vignettes, a semi auto­ biographical look at a guy desperately in search of someone or something to believe in. On the screen the story becomes extremely weak, unable even

duction problems are evidenced by the patchy directing quality. Although James Bridges was brought in to bring the project together after other direc­ tors left, the film still looks glued to­ gether at the last minute. Scenes and story lines don’t follow through and style varies. For example, what are Fox and Sutherland doing in a Disneyesque chase and bite scene with a ferret in an office at night (flashlight included).

The image is oddly funny.

One of the film’s main problems is that it spends too much time on Fox alone; emphasizing that he is not right

to convey the sense of malaise so well described on the printed page. The plot line follows Jamie through a series of exploits that ultimately bring him to a point of crisis where he must come to his senses. Some of that time is spent in nightclubs with his smug, indestruc­ tible, drug-hunting friend Tad Allagash (fellow Canadian, Kiefer Suther­ land) and some of it is spent fact-check­ ing in the offices of a New York maga­ zine well known for its fastidious edito­ rial practises.

The film’s well documented pro­

for the part. The better scenes are those where Fox is paired with several great cameo actors. These include William Hickey as the park ferret and drug salesman, John Houseman as the stem magazine editor and Diane Weist as the critically-ill mother.

For all its production weaknesses.

Bright Lights, Big City still manages to be refreshingly nonjudgmental about Jamie’s drug problems, resisting any hint of melodrama. It is unfortunate that the final effect of this project does not exploit the story’s potential.

The P ogues

by Daphne Simon

If I Should Fall From Grace With God The Pogues (Island Records) The Pogues have come a long way since having done the score for Sid 'n Nancy as well as their on-screen debut in the western, Straight to Hell. I f I Should Fall From Grace With God is their third LP and third Island release.

The Pogues are a cross-breed of ur­ ban acoustic traditional Irish folk and sharp lyrics and energetic anger, all of which might be labelled as punk folk.

Their newest LP is proof that The Pogues are a serious band and are no longer classifiable as a novelty act This album rephrases the energy and exuberant anger of The Pogues, with­ out diluting any of their primitive es­ sence. (P.S. No synthesizers need ap­ ply-)

The Christians The Christians (Island Records) This group is from Liverpool, Eng­ land. The two brothers, Garry and Russell Christian, had a vocal acapello

(No.) group from the time of their early teens, in the mid seventies, where the prime source of their material was The Temptations and The Persuasions.

The Christians with Denny Priestman (the newest Christian) formed an eight-piece band in 1983 with drums, bass, keyboards, guitar and saxophone.

They have kept the black music vocal traditions, and in particular, soul har­ monies which are at the core of The Christians’ music. Their music is a wide mix, taking in elements from soul, pop, blues and contemporary rock.

Hot, Cool and Vicious Salt ‘n Pepa (Polygram Inc.) Salt ‘n Pepa, otherwise known as Ch­ eryl (aka ‘Cher’) and Sandy (aka ‘Sandy D.’), are an all-black, all-fe­ male rap duo from Queens, New York.

This new refreshing rap team with a difference offers not only a female per­ spective but lighthearted fun, dance and laughter in stark contrast to the predominant rap attitudes filled with anger, macho poses and self-glorifica­ tion. Highlights of Hot, Cool and Vi­ cious are Push It, My Mike Sounds Nice, Chick on the Side, and I'll Take Your Man, all of which contain lyrics that convey their cheeky, biting hu­ mour.
