Next Monday, McGill will begin collecting fine paper for recycling. Used fine paper, which includes photocopy paper and other office stationary, sells for 140 dollars per tonne.

"The amount of money you get for the paper is enough to cover the program. We may even make money," University Safety Office Manager Wayne Wood said.

McGill will not be collecting newspapers because "there is no market for newspapers and so you must really subsidize any (newspaper recycling) program," Wood said.

S S M U to h o ld refe rendu m o n FEEQ At its meeting last Thursday, Council agreed to hold a referendum to ratify SSMU's membership in the Fédération des étudiantes et étudiants du Québec (FEEQ), provided 500 students sign a petition by September 27 supporting membership.

In the referendum, students will be asked to agree to SSMU becoming a permanent member of FEEQ and to pay $1 per student per semester for membership dues.

SSMU has been a provisional member of FEEQ since it helped found the student organisation in February 1989.

S S M U executives n o t im pe a ch e d Also at last Thursday's meeting, Councillors voted not to impeach three members of the SSMU executive.

The vote followed a request by PGSS representatives to Council that President Kate Morisset and VPs Alex Usher and Deborah Pentesco resign over Morisset’s withdrawl of support from the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on Tuition Fees.

The three PGSS members were the only ones who cast their votes in favour of the motion.

The Hillel Jewish Women's Circle has organized a second 'Take Back the Night March' because the scheduling of the official march coincides with Rosh Hashanah.

"This decision (to hold the march this Friday) has forced us to choose between our Feminism and our Judaism," Hillel Jewish W omen's Circle members said in a statement issued last week.

The Assault Prevention Centre traditionally holds the march on the third Friday of each September. Both the Toronto and Ottawa marches have changed their dates.

SSMU to set up student aid fund

BY SH A N N O N ALDINGER The E xternal A ffairs Committee (EAC) received a mandate from Council last Thursday to solicit m oney and set up the terms of reference for allocation for the creation of a S tu dents' S ociety (SSMU) emergency student aid fund.

"The fund will be available to students in extreme financial need whose applications for aid have been rejected by all other financial aid centres," said SSMU VP (External) Alex Usher.

A lthough a student aid service already exists at McGill, Usher believes the fund is still

necessary.

"The fund is there because despite dire financial problems, som e students are still turned dow n (by McGill Student Aid).

We're like a safety net under the safety net," Usher said.

Because Council just recently approved the idea of the fund, Usher was unable tooutlineany details of the fund. He does not know where SSMU will receive the money needed for the fund, but hopes that some will be collected through fundraising.

He a lso hopes a representative from McGill's stu d en t aid cen tre w ill participate on the fund's selection committee.

Director of McGill Student A id , Judy S ty m est, w as unavailable for comment.

A lth o u g h C ou n cil representatives approved the concept of the em ergency stu d en t aid fu n d , som e councillors are wary about the fund's implementation.

"I agree to the basic idea, but the implementation will be difficult. Anytime there's a decision to be made based on need or other criteria that is not easily measured, one has to be very careful when allocating money," Clubs Representative SEE SSMU FUND . . .

____________________ Editorial________________

A group of five is not a society "I don't know what it is about the SSMU; lately it seems like they have been spending m oney recklessly."

This opinion was expressed to me recently by a long-time friend. What m y friend did not realize, is that the Students' Society of McGill University is not a they - it is an us.

Every full-time student of this university is a member of the SSMU. Every member pays a fee, and is entitled to the same services.

Our quasi-elected student politicians seem to feel that they are the Students' Society.

When executives talk about improving services or communication, they phrase their actions as 'what the SSMU is doing for you'.

In reality, we are the SSMU, and their actions are taken in our name.

When Students' Council decides to spend $24,000 on a desk, it is our m oney they spend, not theirs.

The kiosk itself is an abberation. We should not have to come to them to communicate; they should come to us.

It is difficult to say whether students do not vote because they are dissatisfied with the cliqueish politician-types; or if instead student

Not just everyone can fill these individuals1 shorts.

politics is dominated by a clique because the vast majority decline to be interested.

What is certain?

We smust shed the view that their actions are removed from our responsibility. We must not treat them as having been dropped from Mars.

We m ust remind them that they are responsible to us.

One of the main reasons for student government is to facilitate the operation of student groups. Administration does not exist for its ow n sake.

Therefore when Council makes a decision foi the SSMU, its members should make sure they know it is in the interests of the members. It is not enough for councillors to assume they know what is best, for they have not been charged with that responsibility.

As for us, we m ust let the council and the executives know when we do not approve of an action. Even w hen the action has already been taken, we should be able to demand that it be reversed.

We m ust not let procedure obscure the fact: w e are the SSMU. -David Gruber

Parts of Speech

WITH ROBERT STEINER

"The media have made Oka a normal event. " -RobertFulford The popular feeling that journalists have become part of the story they are trying to cover, is a cliché which has emerged from the O ka/ Kahnawake crisis.

How, after all, can Canadians trust stories filed by reporters w ho live with Mohawk militants for a week and spend their time off relaxing with soldiers?

Buta more important and disturbing picture of this country emerges with a look at the implications of those journalists doing their job well.

This country of newsaddicts starved of any 'real' new s has demanded that journalists cover this summer's native rebellions more fully than they have covered any other story, including the death of Meech Lake. Teams of journalists relay information about every side and angle in the phony war to voracious Canadians all day. We have learned that wars are drawnout affairs, dirtied by nocturnal spasms most of us would prefer to forget.

But the sheer volum e of coverage in every medium raises two questions about us.

First, why do w e need to

see each detail from Oka and Kahnawake? .

There is certainly value in the mass coverage. For one thing, the ongoing presence of journalists ensures that every military and Mohawk m ove takes place under the public eye. But the demand for mass-coverage is hardly the result of such virtue.

More likely w e proudly latch onto violent rebellion in Canada as if it were a locally-produced war flick: an exciting demonstration of life up here.

Such desires are disturbing on their own.

They actually become dangerous when placed alongside the answer to the second question: How has mass coverage affected us?

Mass coverage has indeed made native rebellions across Canada "normal" stories. We have quickly become accustomed to armed citizens, army helicopters over campus and an order to soldiers to "fix bayonettes," lest they have to kill Canadians. Our anger has become largely intellectual w hile the reflexive repulsion towards oppression which once characterized our thought has become dangerously dulled.

Side by side, the implications and the effects of mass coverage reveal a less democratic mind-set here than w e might have believed w e possess. It seems that a more democratic morality can only be revived if w e make the deliberate effort to be repulsed by every scene we see from the battle-lines.

Oka, Kahnawake and the other battle-lines of this rebellion have shown us to be weak democrats. That is a lesson for which w e have the rebellion's 24-hour journalists to thank.

Protests led by McGill's Association of International Students (MAIS) and Post Graduates Student's Society (PGSS) forced RAMQ to back down.

The protests also prompted the provincial government to promise plans by March 1990 that would extend medicare b e n efits to in tern ation al students not em ployed on campus. Coverage was to take effect this September, but neither a plan nor a piece of legislation hasbeen introduced.

There are big smiles on the faces of many of Québec's stu d en t lead ers. In the aftermath of what seems to be the death of l'Association nationale des étudiantes et é tu d ia n ts du Q uébec (ANEEQ), many students are hoping that the Québec stu d en t m o v e m en t can emerge with a unified voice.

If ANEEQ is really dying, is a united student movement really possible? There are three reasons why the answer may be "no":

invited by ANEEQ. "If the movement stays as is I have some doubts about what can be accomplished...I can't see why the government would turn around and listen to representatives of only a fraction of the stu d en t population," said Fédération des associations étudiantesdu campus de l'Université de Montréal (FAECUM) VP (E xternal) A lk is Papadopoullos.

Firstly, ANEEQ hasn't a ctu a lly d ied y et. An organ iza tio n w h ich can m o b iliz e th o u sa n d s of students and which has the support of major Québec trade unions will not just disappear. The organization is currently p lan n in g a demonstration for September 25 and w ill be holding elections on September 28.

Secondly, there is not one organization that has yet taken control of the direction of the student movement. One co n ten d er m ig h t be la Fédération des étudiantes et étudiants du Québec (FEEQ), but they have yet to prove themselves entirely able to get out from the shadow of ANEEQ. At a meeting on September8, FEEQdelegates spent over two hours trying to decide whether to go to the September 25 demonstration even though they hadn't been

T hirdly, the death of ANEEQ may not solve all the problem s of the Québec student movement. There are still ideological differences betw een stu d en ts w hich could prevent progress. Even the more moderate student associations of ANEEQ such as CUSA (C oncordia U n iv ersity S tu d en ts' Association) may not be ready to give up the idea of free education. "I think Concordia students would accept the idea [of paying tuition] if all other options were exhausted, but all the options have not been explored," said CUSA VP (External) James Brown.

This may be a big problem for FEEQ whose key policy, the " N o u v ea u Partenariat" d ep en ds on stu d en t contributions to tuition.

Although it may be possible to overcome these differing philosophies, a quick solution does not seem likely. Said Papadopoullos, "I don't see that it's possible in the present way of things to have one student voice. I think that will be the state of things for the next few years." □

news Acquisition of land for new sports facilities looks dismal ATHLETICS FROM PAGE 3 recommendation and itdoesn't necessarily mean that the city will accept it," Du beau said.

"There m ay still be an opportunity to convince the City that the facility should be allowed."

But SSMU VP (External Affairs) Alex Usher is not as optimistic.

"The report slammed the door on using the space next to the gym. Our only option left is building on the space behind McConnell (residence)," Usher said.

Both Usher and Dubeau believe the field next to the current gym is the m ost appropriate place to extend McGill's athletic facilities.

"The land next to the (Molson winter) arena is not large enough," Dubeau said. "And, the cost would be extremely high to run tw o separate facilities."

Usher presented a brief to the Bureau d e C o n su ltation 's hearings last May. McGill had proposed to make the land behind McConnell available for a sports com plex that all Montréal citizens could use, in exchange for the cession of the land next to the Currie gym.

"We thought w e had a good case. That land used to belong to McGill. It was sold to build the Pins - Parc interchange (in 1956)," Usher said.

The Bureau de consultation rejected McGill's offer because of the "uncertainties and imprecision surrounding the choice of the site and the use of installations by the public (translated)."

The Bureau de consultation's lawyer, Raymond Doray, called McGill's proposal for the sports complex open to the public "far too vague".

A sso c ia te VP (P h ysical Resources) Sam Kingdon has yet to decide whether McGill will try to pressureCity Council against accepting the report's recommendations or simply build new facilities somewhere else.

Construction must begin by next spring under the terms of a series of student referend urns held between 1982 and 1990 which permitted the collection of $7.50 a term per student to improve athletics facilities.

"The shovel has to be in the ground by June first, or the m oney collected over the past eight years will go to renovate the existing facilities," Usher said. □

SSMU fund FUND FROM PAGE 3 to Council, Peter Thomas said.

M a n a g e m e n t Representative to Council, Katrina Kavalersky, also expressed concern regarding the implementation process.

"Many students have been getting loans without really deserving them. It's the difference between using the m oney for rent and food or for a spring break vacation.

The (McGill) aid service w a sn 't ch eck in g in to students' backgrounds, it just wanted to get rid of its money so thatits budget wouldn'tbe red u ced (the fo llo w in g year)," Kavalersky said.

Kavalersky also questions whether the fund is necessary.

"Has the hike had any effect on students? Has enrollment gone down? We still have the lowest tuition fees in the country, so two hundred dollars per semester isn't much of an increase. If students really want money, they'll earn it," Kavalersky said.

P o s t - G r a d u a t e representative toCouncil Eric Darier is wary that the fund's establishment will be only a token reaction on the part of SSMU against the provincial government's decision last year to increase tuition fees.

"The intention is very good, butl w ouldn'tlikethis(fund) to be the only action SSMU takes against the fee increase," Darier said.

e n t e r t a in m e n t MC J and Cool G: an important new inspiration for hip-hop hopefuls throughout Canada

BY ADAM STERNBERGH Halifax,Nova Scotia hasbeen called many things,b u ta hot­ bed for hip-hop talent is usu­ ally not one of them. MC J and Cool G, aka James McQuaid and Richard Gray, are striving to change that. The newest addition to the exploding Ca­ nadian rap scene are hoping that their upcoming show with rap giants and aural assault technicians Public Enemy will be the push that thrusts their unique blend of rap and R&B to the forefront of popular music.

Their

debut

album,

So Listen on local independent label CEC, displays the style which MC J and Cool G have dubbed "double R&B," mean­ ing "rap, rhythm and blues."

"We don't follow any trends," stressed MC J. MC J and Cool G have cre­ ated a sound which falls some­ where between Kool Moe Dee and Bobby Brown. The stan­ dard record-spinning DJ has been replaced by a drum ma­ chine. Cool G does at least as much singing as rapping.

"Rap is g ro w in g up," saidMC J. "The audiences and the art­ ists are becoming more mature with the music," adds Cool G. "Adding R&B is just going to make rap stick around for ten to fifteen more years."

Rap's popularity and pros­ perity provide opportunity for Black Canadian artists. MC J and Cool G feel they are on the vanguard of a new w ave of talent.

Cecil Collins, President of CEC records said, "Now that MC J and Cool G have made it to a major distributor (Colum­ bia records) from an independ­ ent label, they are like a light­ house for other independent groups."

"A lot of kids here try to be very hardcore. They are very influenced by N ew York," said Collins. "We're trying to ex­ plore and develop black music from a Canadian perspective."

But MC J is quick to point out

that the Canadian talent is out there. "I could bring you ten rappers right now who are good enough to be on the market.

There's just no outlet for their talent."

on the streets. We always had chemistry, and w e knew that if w e got the opportunity, we could do it big time."

In the rap world, having the right image is almost as impor­

"W e'll have a lot of four-letter w ords on our next album ," said MC J, "such as L-O-V-E." For Canadian rap bands, the big break will only come through a rare combination of talent, perscrverance, luck and hard work. Cool G relocated to Montreal in 1985, and when he was reunited with MC J three years later, they knew it was time to get serious.

"We got our record deal by shipping our tape to record pools across Canada. We cre­ ated a buzz by ourselves," said Cool G. "We used to freestyle

tant as pumping the right sound. While bad boys such as N.W.A. and 2 Live Crew have garnered most of the recent publicity with their controver­ sial antics and in-your-face lyr­ ics, MC J and Cool G explained that obscenity just isn't their style.

"Our image is a nice, clean, smooth R&B sound. N o contro­ versy, no bad words," said Cool G. "We're just here to have a good time."

MC J warned,"We'll have a lot of four-letter words on our next album, such as L-O-V-E." And what about the crews which are banned from the music store shelves?

"That's their business," said Cool G. "Whatever they do, that's the way they like to ex­ press their music. I express mine in a different way."

Several years ago, a rap group like MC J and Cool G, who specifically aim for the Top 40 radio market, might have been accused of 'selling out7 by hardcore Black nationalists such as Ice T or Public Enemy.

But today, as the world of rap music continues to diversify the line between speaking out and selling out has begun to blur.

"Does Ice T sell out because he does a track with Curtis Mayfield? DoEric B. and Rakim sell out because they do a track with Jodi Watley? It's all rap music, just at different levels," said MC J. "The rap world is

uniting. Before, everyone was 'dissing' everyone, but now people are getting together."

Cool G added, "Without Young MG and MC Hammer, there's no ainstream rap. Rap would ste in the neighbour­ hoods. Tl.is way, groups like Public Enemy havean audience to which they can get their message across."

On October 10th, following their show at the Rialto, MC J and Cool G will begin a Cana­ dian tour. Where do they hope to go from there?

"Arsenio Hall," joked MC J, and then he added more seri­ ously, "We'll be there within two years. Guaranteed."

Until then, MC J and Cool G will continue to spread the "double R&B" sound, and pro­ vide inspiration for hip-hop hopefuls across Canada. Per­ haps one day the true-northstrong-and-free will come to be better known as the true north fresh and hype.

BY STEVE KOKKER Though she is a relative new ­ comer to the m ovie business, tw en ty y ear-old Sam antha Mathis was as com posed as a screen veteran when in town recently to promote her first fea­ ture film, Pump Up the Volume.

In the film, she plays the per­ ceptive individual w ho discov­ ers mystery DJ Christian Slater's true identity. She works her way into his sheltered life by acknowl-

Pump Up the Volume barks but lacks bite

BY ADA M STERNBERGH 'Talk hard' is the rallying cry around which writer/director Allan M oyle has crafted his ambitious but flawed teen movie, Pump Up the Volume.

The story of a nerd-by-dayrenegad e-p irate-D J-b y-n igh t (Christian Slater), Pump Up the Volume strives to be The Breakfast Club for the Nineties, aimed at a generation of white teens who blast their 2 Live Crew C1Ys when Mom and Dad are not home.

Unfortunately, M oyle's at­ tempts at being fresh are off the mark, and the film's supposed

irreverence is just a tad stale.

Pump Up the Volume is another Heathers, but without the sense of humour.

Like Heathers, Pump Up the Vol­ ume features Slater as a modernd ay r e b e l-w ith o u t-a -ca u se.

This time, his character is sans the memorable, grating Jack Nicholson impression. Arizona h ig h -sc h o o l stu d e n t Mark Hunter (Slater) has decided to launch a pirate radio station right out of his bedroom, using an old ham-radio and some spare parts.

edging their shared fears. For Mathis, sending out the m essage that "you are not alone" to anxi­ ety-ridden adolescents is the pri­ mary goal of the film.

"Allan Moyle made this film because he wanted to talk about teen angst," she says. "It incor­ porates certain messages about being young and freedom of speech, bu t the main purpose was

his generation, "Harry" makes some keen observations. His complaint that kids today have "nothing to look forward to, and no one to look up to" is likely to strike a sympathetic chord in his selected audience. But Moyle underminestheinsightfulnessof "Harry's" m onologues by stock­ ing his film with one-dimen­ sional retread characters from som e b e st-fo rg o tten John Hughes flicks.

Moyle and Heathers writer Daniel Waters are McGill alumni.

Moyle's film is asking all the right questions. Intelligent an­ swers, however, are conspicu­ ously absent. "Harry's" advice to troubled teens is to "hang in there, things will get better."

Ultimately, "Harry Hard-On" turns out to be a flaccid failure.

Moyle and his screen teens need to do less hard talking, and more hard thinking.

We all experience the same feel­ ings, after all, no matter what 'type' you are or what clique you belong to. The film says that yes, it's a rough ride, but it's not worth offing yourself."

Mathis is bound to get much attention from her role in Pump Up the Volume . Yet she remains unphased when people talk about her as a future star, and is surprisingly level-headed about the fleeting quality of fame.

"It's flattering that people think that, and I'm thankful for all the positive reviews I've received, but it doesn't really mean any­ thing. I mean, it doesn't guaran­ tee that when I get back to L.A. I'm going to get a job. I'm inse­ cure about myself in many ways too, and I know I ha ve a long way to go as an actor. I'm only 20!

Politicians have for some time been reluctant to grant the O.S.M. permission to build a new space because of the cost.

The show must go on, how­ ever, and this season's 105 per­ formances are divided into sev­ eral series and two locales.

Conceptual art exhibit aims to provoke response

BY KATE GIBBS Located at Cité du Havre, the Musée D'Art Contemporain de Montréal is easily overlooked.

Its 500th exhibition, L’art con­ ceptual, une perspective, how­ ever, is worth careful investi­ gation. This show is the first international retrospective of conceptual art, and consists of over 100 works by 30 contribu­ tors from both sides of the At­ lantic. Earlier this year it chal­ lenged audiences in Paris,

Hamburg, and Madrid. Mon­ tréal is the show's only North American venue.

Conceptual art is impossible to concisely define. MACM curator Pierre Landry agreed, "It's not clear even after 25 years." Conceptual art is not just a flourescent tube hanging diagonally on the wall, but also the response the piece pro­ vokes. It is an art form which asks for critique, not acceptance, because even rejection requires participation.

The artists displayed in this exhibit developed an alterna­ tive style, utilizing everyday objects as their materials: glass,

craftsmanship are all but disre­ garded. Idea takes precedent.

Such a piece is Joseph Kosuth's, Clear, Glass, Square,

Artist On Kawara's "Cartes Postales" (1969) is probably the easiest piece to enjoy. Mr. Kawara wrote a post card each day for 118 days to an art dealer in Dusseldorf. Each card is uniformally printed with a message consisting of the hour at which Kawara awoke that day.

Some of Canada’s best accounting minds are in the insurance industry.

If you have an interest in accounting, why not consider a career with Canada’s property/casualty, or general insurance industry? In fact, the industry offers a wider variety of career choices than you ever imagined.

Accountants yes, but also systems analysts, lawyers, managers, loss prevention engineers, investment specialists, investigators, marine underwriters, aviation adjusters and many more. The choice is yours.

General insurance is also an industry that encourages you to acquire its own levels of professionalism.

As a Fellow or Associate of The Insurance Institute of

Canada, you would jo in an educated, experienced and ethical group of professionals equipped to pursue successful careers at the local, provincial, national or even international level.

Choice, challenge, satisfaction and security. They are just some of the rewards you’ll enjoy through a career in the property/casualty insurance industry.

"The questions that arose then are still felt," said Landry.

He suggests that the pieces provoke the same reactions today as they did when first publically exhibited.

BY JESSICA MCBRIDE Copyright laws are funny things: on the one hand they are legally binding,on theother, they are usually ignored by the general public. Who hasn't pirated an album to a blank tape to save the cost of a new record? The harm in this practice seems minimal.

R ecen tly , h o w ev e r, the copyright issue hit closer to hom e. An early Fall '90 publication of the McGill Daily an nou n ced that "Frosty's Dead." In response, Mike Sportza, the creator of Frosty, has now decided to sue the Daily for infringement of copyright.

Frosty had appeared in the

McGill Daily Classified section since February 14, 1989. A happy face whose idioms and w o r d s o f w isd o m w ere

'I w as told that Frosty w as a big boost to Classified [ ad ] sales" - Mike Sportza occa sional ly offensi ve, bu t of ten funny, Frosty enjoyed wide readership.

"I was told that Frosty was a big boost to Classified sales,"

said Sportza. He is accusing the Daily of using "Frosty is dead" as a promotion tool.

He is most upset because the paper used Frosty without his permission. "The frats used it and paid," he said, "I can't understand why the Daily didn't do the same thing. I have the copyright for Frosty, so I'm the only one who can say that he's dead."

He b eliev es the Daily's assumed right to Frosty has cost him income on future Frosty sales and says the rumour of Frosty's death is bad public relations.

"I do not understand why they would do something like

this," he says. "They are theives."

The McGill Daily has an anti­ copyright policy. While the paper d o e sn 't b la ta n tly disregard copyright laws, aside from a couple of exceptions everything that is printed in the paper can be used elsewhere.

"We didn't mean any harm in announcing 'Frosty is dead'," says Heather McKay, the Daily's Editor in-Chief, "what more likely occurred was the need for space filler."

Apparently, Sportza had been informed by the Planning and Priorities Committee of the Daily that his em ployment would be terminated in the summer.

"He wasn't fulfilling his re sp o n sib ilitie s as an advertisement typesetter," says McKay, "I w as under the impression that the Committee had fired him." Sportza claimed he quit, citing one reason as discontent with the Daily's editorial Board.

Sportza has not yet sent the summons to the Daily, who will have ten days to respond, ei ther agreeing to a settlement out-ofcourt or to a court date. Sportza haschosen to sue in small claims court, w ith a m axim um settlement of one thousand dollars, to avoid hassle. The Daily has not yet received the summons and therefore could not comment. â&#x2013;Ą

Recent Canadian copyright restrictions applauded by authors and other creators

BY ANDREA CURTIS N ew copyright laws may seem a burden to students, but for theauthorsand creatorswho fought for their creation, the new law s promise greater control over the profits of their labour.

While most people would agree that writers deserve renumeration for their efforts, the low cost and ease of illegal copying has enabled illegal copyright infringment to persist in occurring.

"What has to be understood is that [copying] is illegal, it is theft." said Trevor Ferguson, chairperson of the Writer's Union of Canada. "The Writer's Union of Canada has been lo b b y in g th e federal governm ent to enforce the copyright law for at least a

dozen years," says Ferguson.

Joining forces with other "creators," such as musicians and computer companies, has proven to be effective.

'W hat has to be understood is that [copying] is illegal, it is theft.. / -Trevor Ferguson

"It is taking a long time to implement the copyright law.

We are still in the process of negotiations. The government's

demands for exemptions has slow ed the process," says Hélene M essierof the Coalition of Creators and Copyright Owners.

While acknowledging the necessity for negotiations, Messier, like many creators, is concerned about accepting concessions that resemble old laws. Writers and other creators also recognize the difficulty in enforcing the laws, and aren't veiy hopeful about having them implemented quickly.

Ferguson does not believe the new restrictions will cause an increase in book sales due to a lack of a v a ila b ility o f photocopies.

"Both the user and creator will benefit," Ferguson says.

"The benefit to the users is that they will no longer be taking a

risk of breaking the law, and the creators will get paid for their work."

H istory professor Pierre B ou lle ex p la in s that the

" The low cost and ease of illegal copying has enabled illegal copyright infringem ent to p e rs is t. " restrictions are "just not very convenient" and agrees that the price of textbooks encourages the kind of piracy that many

students engage in. "Do you really need glossy textbooks? I don't think that is the case," he says.

"It puts a much greater burden on us, because w e have to have access to the reserves," said Kelly Vinette, Political Science Students Association President. "If only one of three hundred students can read an article at a time it takes a long time to get it."

A n ticip a tin g th e n ew restrictions, Political Science professor F.A. Kunz, has had his formerly PSSA-produced co m p ila tio n o f re a d in g s published and bound by a local company called P.S. Presse. The publishing company obtains legal copyright which "allows m e to make available the necessary material, legally and w ith o u t h ea d ach es," he explained. □

Copyright law : confusing legislation attem pts to establish the absolute ownership of ideas

Copyright is designed to guarantee certain of the legal rights ownership implies. Most notable is the "sole right to publish, produce, reproduce and to perform a work in public," according to the Ministry of Supply and Services Canada.

The co p y rig h t law has undergone major changes in the last two years. Definitions of 'artistic' and Titerary works' have b een b road en ed .

"Copyright of 'literary work' n o w in c lu d e s com p u ter program m es," said Frank T am burro of the L egal Information Clinic. '"Artistic work' now includes areas like

"Copyright is designed to guarantee certain legal rights that ow nership implies."

The law attempts to be moderate by introducing a policy of 'fair dealing', which is intended to cover the use of minor portions of a work in the cou rse of stu d y or in a newspaper. The final decision as to whether the use of a given excerpt is an infringement of copyright or an example of 'fair

dealing' is up to the courts.

The specific details of the law are extremely complicated, and the subject of a course at McGill's Faculty of Law, in "Intellectual and Industruial Property."

One of the hottest debates is over a new agreement between institutions of learning, the provincial government and the Québec writer's union (UNEQ).

The agreement was made to sim p lify the p ro ce ss of photocopying for educational purposes.

The new agreement specifies that some photocopying will be allow ed , p rovided the correct forms are fill out and sen t to the g o v ern m en t.

Professors wishing to make c o p ies m u st in form the provincial government and the wri ter's union of whatand how much has been copied. This enables UNEQ members to receive the royalties that they are due.

Apparently, students do not have trouble with copyright infringement in the course of their studies/'Copyrightisn'ta big issue for them," said Tamburro.

"Copyright is the area of law that tries to establish ownership over something less tangible than a m aterial object," explained Cameron Young, a director of the McGill Legal Information Clinic. "It is the question of how you establish a property right - w hich is generally perceived as being 'over' so m e th in g - o v er something you cannot see - an idea, for example."

Although copyrighting is an automatic process, the only valid proof of copyright is a certificate provingregistration, available for a small fee to cover the costs of verifying the work's originality.

s p o r ts Coaches angry about athletics ruling: ‘it affects everyone’

BY AMY WILSON The proposal for a new ath­ letics complex at McGill was dealt another blow on Friday.

A press conference held by the Bureau de Consultation indi­ cated that McGill hasn't actu­ ally proven it needs the space for a new gym or other athletic facilities.

"That's ludicrous," laughs Peter Smith, Coordinator of Campus Recreation and Intra­ murals. "Anyone who's in­ volved with McGill realizes the need for more space. Our facili­ ties are already bulging at the seams; w e turn away teams from virtually every program in intramurals. This is a tre­ mendous blow to the Depart­ ment of Athletics, the students, and the community."

The report released at the press conference was only the first step to finally gaining an area of park land on which to build new accomodations. In a referendum held in 1982, stu­ dents agreed to contribute $7.50 per term to build a new Com­

plex.

The Bureau de Consultation recommended against transfer­ ring the proposed spot on Mont Royal to McGill. A sa result, the next two step s, which include the approval of City Council,

"There's not enough space for any program, and this decision affects everyone." Shildroth elaborated by explaining the need for improvements on everything, including the gym floor and courts, change rooms,

and the legal transfer of the land from the Quebec government to McGill, are a long shot at best.

Men's basketball coach Ken Shildroth calls the process of finding a site for the Athletics complex, "a marathon of frus­ tration."

"The whole thing has been quite an adventure in strategic planning on everyone's part," he adds, referring to the eight years of negotiations and post­ ponements which preceded the Bureau's announcement.

fitness classes for the dow n­ town kids. It could be a nice facility."

Currently, the 25 yard, 6 lane pool is too narrow and too small to host intercollegiate meets.

There are safety problems for

o f C a m

office space, air circulation, lighting, and the flow of people in the Currie gym.

"The facility is functional," he noted, "but iFs the oldest in the country and one of the most archaic. Our programs could be so much better with renova­ tions or a new building."

Francois Lauvin agrees. "It's a shame," says the swim m ing coach. "There are a lot of pro­ grams w e could offer with a new or better pool. We could run classes and help the com­ munity, have a sw im club or

divers in the deep end because it's too shallow. Lauvin's ideal would be a 50 metre facility, but he says the program needs at least a 25 metre, 8 lane pool.

As it is, this year's strong McGill team "can't handle the com pe­ tition" because facilities are sadly inadequate.

Football coach Charlie Baillie is fed up with the whole thing.

"We've been waiting close to ten years for the new complex, and the McGill offer was very fair.:" Although thereportdoes not directly affect the football

program, Baillie realizes that new recruits are always im­ pressed by up-to -date facili­ ties. He believes strongly in the need for new or more athletic accomodations, adding "I'm very disappointed [the recom­ m en d a tio n ] h a sn 't b een passed."

The space problem is not restricted to the athletics facil­ ity, either. Other departments within the university are in the same cramped conditions. "We aim to maintain and improve upon the quality of education a t McGill," says Shildroth, "and Athletics augm ent people's education. The McGill mental­ ity is one of participation and the drive to excel in many ar­ eas. This affects everybody."

"We already have a lot of irate students, and the community is annoyed," reported Coordina­ tor Smith. " This is the enve­ lope, and it isn't going to get any bigger."

"This facility falls w ay short of what w e need, and there arc a lot of losers from this particu­ lar ruling."

Inept offence costs McGill the game against Bishop’s

W ohn

The event: McGill's home­ coming football game against the Bishop's Gaiters. The set­ ting: an overcast and blustery Saturday afternoon at Molson Stadium. The results: disap­ pointing. In what proved to be a defensive con test of wits, 2263 faithful fans, many of whom had made the trek from Lennoxville, watched as the Gai­ ters prevailed over the Tribe with a 17-10 decision.

In the opening game of sea­ son, both teams seemed unable to generate much offensive momentum because of the sti­ fling defences against which they were pitted. Bishops was able to amass only 273 total yards while McGill's highly touted air show racked up justl82 passing yards, and only 58 rushing yards.

McGill's sputtering offence featured Yanik Prefontaine starting at quarterback. He proved to be reasonably effec­ tive, completing 6 of 13 passes for 63 yards. This was made im p ressive as the porous Redmen offensive line was extremely hard pressed to cope with Bishop's devestating de­

sports S WITH JAMES STEWART If there is one medium that is vital in product promotion today, television is it. More than any other source of in­ formation, television has the ability to reach out to a vast number of people with a concrete image that conveys an air of legitimacy. Televison means the big time.

That focus makes The Sports Network's first visit to Molson Stadium some­ what historic. Last Saturday a ftern o o n , M ichael Landsberg and colour-com­ mentator, Jamie Bone, were in town to call the McGill Redm en-Bishop's Gaiters game.

The match was the third of 15 the network is showing as part of a continuing commit­ ment to CIAU football. This

i d

e

l i n

e

is the seventh year TSN has cov­ ered university football and the exposure the game has received has been nothing but benefi­ cial.

Michael Landsberg, who has been calling tha action since 1985 sees the benefits in two ways.

"The exposure has made people more aware. TSN has given the CIAU the chance to show i ts product to people from one conference to another.

People in Vancouver, who might be fans of St. Mary's can see them. That's one of the obvious benefits."

"The not so obvious is that TV legitimizes a sport. There's something subliminal, that if someone has taken the time to put something on TV, it must be good."

I'm not so sure this theory

--------

s

applies to darts, which TSN also broadcasts, but the point of legitimacy is an excellent one.

TSN's broadcasts are profes­ sional and regular viewers probably equate the station with its extensive coverage of professional sports. When they can see university football on the same network, that validity is extended by association.

McGill's Sports Information Co-ordinator, Earl Zukerman, has been involved with inter­ collegiate sports since 1979 and he feels the coverage TSN gives is excellent.

"I was really impressed with their coverage," he said after getting a chance to view it on tape since he was at Saturday's game.

"I liked it last year and this year I think it's even better.

Jamie Bone is an incredible colour-man. He gives you in­

sights only a player could give you."

Without doubt, the added exposure CIAU football gains from being on TSN has helped promote the game. Previously, television exposure of univer­ sity football in Canada was next to nothing. A television station in Hamilton, CHCH, broad­ casted one 'game of the week' from the Ontario division (OUAA) and CTV picked up the Atlantic Bowl (national semi-final) and the Vanier Cup. But that was it.

N ow TSN has the whole package, including the Vanier Cup. This puts the CIAU in a far better marketing position than if a different station sud­ denly covered the two biggest gam esrem ainingin the season.

The fact TSN finally got to cover the crown jewel of Cana­

dian universtiy football was a highlight for the 33 yearold Landsberg.

"I'd done all the games (in the season) and then never got to do the Vanier Cup," he said in a telephone interview from his home in Toronto.

"B roadcasting from SkyDome was a thrill. You feel like you're in the big time from there."

Canadian university foot­ ball has a lot to be thankful for wi th i ts games on TV once a week. TSN has definitely added a positive, profes­ sional, aspect to the game.

But the work shouldn't stop there. Campus promotion is also vitally important to the success of CIAU football and schools should be paying attention to that angle to assure further growth of the game.

McGill and Eastern Michigan: a contrast of circmustances RAYMOND BUTCHER The McGill Redmen soccer team provided strong evidence this past weekend that their solid reputation should also extend south of the border. The Eastern Michigan University (EMU) soccer team of the N a­ tional Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation Division One came to visit.

Although the final score was a match nil, the Redmen dis­ played full dominance, control­ ling the play but missing their opportunities to put the game away. Posts, crossbars, and point-blank m isses all testified to the misfortune that charac­ terized the match. As for EMU, they were forced to play defen­ sively, not even gettinga proper shot on the Redmen goal.

Eastern Michigan University enjoys a solid reputation as an NCAA Division One contender.

Their record of 10-6-1 attests to their ability. Chris Corteg, the EMU coach, has compiled a 6253-7 record in the past seven years at Eastern Michigan. His team is made up mostly of re­ turning veterans and upper­ classmen. Because so many of his players have seen a lot of action together, Corteg figures to have a strong year.

As a Division One school, EMU has had success in recruit­ ing its players from all over.

Through the use of athletic scholarships, considered to be a mainstay of university athlet­ ics in the NCAA, EMU has been able to recruit two of its players from Quebec—Havio Mazzaferroand Paul Tinnion. Another noticeable recruit was James McDonald, a freshman who played his soccer in England.

In comparison to the NCAA schools, McGill has little, if anything, to offer in the way of athletic scholarships. However, many players come to McGill for the academics, turning dow n tempting athletic schol­ arships in the NCAA. A good education at McGill demands a lot of time which often interferes with varsity

athletics. John Hayward, the leading striker for the Redman last year is unable to play due to his studies in Law School.

Despite these and other losses to the academic grind, Sandrin notes, "Our bench strength is not as great [as last year], but the team on the field is still very strong." While he admits, "the Redmen need more confidence in finishing," he praises his players for their full team effort especially noticeable in this exhibition match against EMU. The Redmen went to win their first regular season game of the infant season when they de­ feated the University of Que­ bec at Trois Rivieres by a score of 1-0 on Sunday in Trois Rivi­ ere. Bert Lee got the shu tou t for the R edm en w h ile N eil McCullouch provided all the scoring McGill needed. □

Martlets look strong in convincing w in over Carleton

J ean-François H ardy

Three games, three victories.

Even before their Quebec Uni­ versity Soccer League regular season hasbegun, it isclear that this season the McGill Martlets will remain the team to beat in Quebec.

Their great form, shown in the recent Old Four Tourna­ ment in Kingston continued last Friday night with a 5-1 thrash­ ing of the Carleton Robins at Molson Stadium. Although not much of a contest, the inflated scoreline gave coach Tony Iachetta the unusual freedom to substitute at will.

The game itself had been all but decided by half-time with the Martlets already leading 40. W ing half Sarah Cartwright and forward Angela Corinthios started strongly for McGill, and after only four minutes, Sharon Tait had pu t the Martlets ahead.

By contrast with McGill's flu­ ency and control, Carleton looked uncertain, and were lucky not to fall further behind

as a Corinthios shot hit the crossbar minutes later.

The speed of McGill as a team was too much for the Carleton defence. This speed, combined with slick passing led to the second goaf after thirteen min­ utes. A neatly worked overlap down the left side between d efe n d er Sue Bell and Corinthios set free the latter, who shot past the Robins' goalie.

Unfortunatly for Carleton, the Martlet defence proved equally adept. Led by All-Ca­ nadian sweeper Jocelyn Dutil, the few Carleton attacks were efficiently thwarted, leaving rookie goalie Natalie Lepenta with little to do. Only Carleton's left-winger, Kara Blan­ chette, looked capable of dis­ rupting the Martlet dominance.

The difference between the sides was further highlighted by the Martlet use of set plays.

In the twenty-sixth m inuteitw asoneofT ait'sdeep crosses that set up a chance for teammate Natalie Ioanidis.

Just four minutes later, it was Tait herself who took advan­ tage of the Robins' disorgani­ zation to score her second goal and McGill's third. This time from the left, her pace took her past an already tiring and cumbersome Carleton back four.

The threegoal cushion served to increase the Marlets' free­ dom with the ball. Redundant at the back, the McGill defence began to push forward. Runs from Gayle Noble and Dutil both won the Martlets comers, and paved the way for the game sealing goal. Tait's consistantly accurate com ers were finally

rewarded in the fortieth minute when she again combined with Ioanidis, w ho headed in an inch perfect cross from nine yards out.

McGill began the second half as it ended the first. Substitute Naomi Hasegawa added to the speed of the team as McGill pushed for a fifth tally. Dutil shot just over the bar from out­ side the box, finally stirring Carleton into a reply.

Amiskicked cross on the right wing was fumbled by substi­ tute goalie Stephanie Berlin giving Robins' forward J.J. Free­ man the chance to stab the ball home from close in. Although a lucky goal, it gave Carleton a new impetus making the sec­ ond half more of a contest. It w as a M artlet, Sarah Cartwright, who finished the game's scoring with a fierce penalty shot after a handball infringement in the eightieth minute. It was a definitive stamp on a game dominated by the Martlets. □

world with a bonecrushing hit in the fourth quarter. Similarly, the Gaiters were playing strong defence, sacking the Redmen quarterbacks five times and applying pressure throughout the game.

The victory seemed to be within the Redmen's grasp when they were consistently given good field position by the defense and special teams in the latter stages of the game.

The damage had been done in the early going, however, and the Redmen never seemed to fully recover from Silvio Mar­ tel's 46 yard TD strike to Pat Gregory in the second quarter.

The Bishop's pivot had a good day over all completing 11 of 24 passes for 207 yards. He was knocked out of the game by

injury, and Martel's colleague Jim Murphy seemed ill at ease, completing only four of thir­ teen passes for a paltry 20yards.

The loss on Saturday may prove very costly for the Redmen in the OQIFC stand­ ings where 4 of the 5 teams are ranked in the national top ten polls. The team looked strong enough to contend for the title, if it receives more cohesive and disciplined play, particularly from the offense. Miscues there cost them on the scoreboard. A case in point was an illegal procedure call in the fourth quarter that cost them a sixyard touchdown run from Wally Sordo. Hopefully the Tribe will make the necessary adjustments in time for their next game against the Concor­ dia Stingers which be played at Molson Stadium this Saturday. □
