BY R IC H L A T O UK

After a tense, ninety-m inute discussion last T hu rsd ay night, S tuden ts' Society (SSMU) Presi­ d en t Scott Mi tic m oved to p o st­ pone d eb ate over a resolution to create an em p lo y m en t services corporation.

The SSMU Executive stressed the im portance of passing the resolution in o rd e r to facilitate the hiring of a SSMU G eneral M anager. The resolution w ould also serve as an im p o rtan t steppi ng-stone to wa rd s sem i -corpo­ ra ti on of the Society "It is im p o rtan t that we m ove forw ard and forw ard quickly, butob v io u sly Ithis) Council feels it is m ore im p o rtan t 1to delay the resolution I," Mitic told Council. “\ w ould have hoped for m ore confidence."

The failure to pass the resolu­ tion cam e one m onth after Rep­ resentatives to Cou nci 1Jul ie Dzerow icz, David G ru b er and Ian Pilarczyk w alked o u t of the D ecem ber 5th C ouncil m eeting in protest over the m otion, b reak­ ing q u o ru m and en d in g that m eeting abruptly.

Last T hursday, it was G ruber and D zerow icz, aided by fellow C ouncillors Sherry Becker, Al­ e x a n d ra C la rk e , M o n iq u e Shebbeare and Jam es Stewart, w ho questioned aspects of the

proposed m otion.

The Reps w ere concerned about the future ram ifications and the constitutionality of ac­ cepting the m otion, as well as a lack of im p o rtan t inform ation presented by the Incorporation C om m ittee to Council.

Beckerasked w hy a law yer was no t b rough t i n to d iscu ss the lega 1 a spec ts of the résolu tiona nd why in f o r m a tio n th e E x e c u tiv e claim ed to have re g ard in g other schools in sim ilar situations w as not presented to C ouncil.

Dzerow icz w anted to know w hy a SSMU staff m em berw hosestatus w ould change from that of a McGill em ployee to a SSMU em ployee - w as not in­ vited to ad d ress C ouncil about concerns over the proposed agreem ent.

"W e could bring in an expert on every issue to C ouncil but that w ould be a w aste of time," replied Mitic, w ho ad d e d that SSMU staff m em bers w ere not present because they did not have a problem with the resolu­ tion.

D zerow icz questioned the futu re costs of the agreem en t, sta ting, "I feel very uncom fortable m aking this decision right now when I d o n 't know w hat the re­ percussions will be in three years."

"Every com m ittee is defined

in |th e SSMUJ C onstitution or By-Laws," ad d e d Shebbeare, w ho felt the issue should be b ro u g h t to referendum ."T his shou 1d a 1so ha ve i ts pu rpose a nd statu s defined. It seem s ridicu­ lous th at a nam e change from J MC to FMC be b ro u g h t to refer­ e n d u m b u t not this."

Mitic responded that it was im possible to give exact infor­ m ation reg ard in g the future on a n y is s u e , a n d th a t the constitutional question could be d ealt w ith once this resolution w as passed.

Représenta tiveG ruber viewed stu d en ts as shareholders of a com pany, and felt they should have a right to know the job descriptions and salaries of the SSMU staff. Mitic disagreed, stating that all em ploym ent contracts betw een an individual an d their em p lo y erare keptconfiden tial.

M em bers of the Executive prom ised Council that any fur­ ther proposed action regarding the proposal w ould be presen ted to C ouncil for ratification. The SSMU Executive agreed to post­ pone the résolu ti on only after re­ alizing that C ouncil'sconfidence in them had been lost.

"Because of the im portance of the decision w e w ere m aking, there w as a point at which 1 decided that there w ere still too

Mille and Bukhman struggle with combative Council. m an y p eo p le lacking confi­ dence," Mitic told the Tribune after the meeting. "1 w ould much rath er delay the decision for two w eeks and ensure that each and every C ouncillor was confident

in m aking a decision."

Mitic ad d e d that he did not feel questions raised w ere triv­ ial, b u t that T hu rsd ay night was p erh ap s the w ro n g tim e to have been asking them .

Councillors go unpunished for breaking quorum

BY CHRIS ALAM Despite thinly veiled threats from the Students' Society (SSMU) Ex­ ecutive, threeCouncil members who w alkedoutofa December 5 thCouncil meeting, deliberately breaking quorum and ending the meeting, will not face any disciplinary action.

Clubs Representative Julie Dze­ rowicz, Architecture Rep David Gruber, and Arts Rep Ian Pilarczyk left the m cetingin a successful bid to preventa vote on a motion to create the Students' Society Corporation, Inc. With many Councillors absent from the meeting, the three walk­

outs felt that the motion should be delayed. They also noted that the relevant docum ents had not been distributed toCouncillors five days before the meeting, as SSMU by­ laws stipulate.

The Reps' actions infuriated the SSMU Executive, which was at­ tem pting to pass the motion before the Christm as holidays.

After the meeting, SSMU Presi­ dent Scott Mitic hinted that this violation might result in discipli­ nary action.

"Time will tell," he said.

An enraged Alex Johnston, SSMU VP Internal,described how she felt, asshestorm ed from the Union build­

ing.

"Disgust beyond belief. For the three of them to have such a total lack of respect for other Councillors and to walk out; to do that is not devious; it is stupid," she fumed.

"This is much more serious than they thought."

G ruber dism issed Johnston's anger.

"If the Executives d o n 't like to play politics, they shouldn't be in politics," he said.

The Councillors were in violation of SSMU policy5-10, which requires that members ask for permission from the Speaker if they leave a meeting early. Thepolicy also states

that permission should be refused if quorum is broken by such an early departure.

Although Dzerowicz apologized for her actions at last Thursday's meeting, the Executive dem anded no apology and m ade only a few references to the affair.

"While I strongly disagree with thedisrespect for Council the Coun­ cillors showed, 1d o n 't think it would have necessarily been productive to create a sideshow of discipline re­ lated to an already complex topic," Mitic told thcTribune.

Dzerowicz was not surprised at this change of heart.

"At first I thought they would

Pilarczyk remained unconcerned about the ramifications of his ac­ tions.

I d o n 't think Dave IGruber) and I would apologize if we thought we were justified," he explained. ironically, polio. 5-10 was again broken last Thursday this time when VP Internal Johnston lert the m eet­ ing early w ithout asking the Speaker's permission. ^

Q u é b e c a p p r o v e s p r o p o s e d a th le tic fa c ility

BY STEVE BRIGHT After years of planni ng a nd negotiating, McGill has been given pro­ vincial permission to build an exten­ sive S20-S25 million athletics com­ plex attached to the current Sir A rthur Currie Gym. On December 16th, a student dele­ gation of S tudent's Society (SSMU) VP. External Karla MacDonald and the Law Student's Association's VP. External HclcncM athieu presented a twenty m inute brief to Q uebec's National Assembly.

The proposal explained how the CurrieGym hadbecnbuiltinl939 to accommodate the needs of a student population of 1,000. It also pointed out how McGill students have them­

selves raised almost S4 million to date for the new facility, an am ount which will continue to grow over the next few years.

MacDonald believed it was this financial initiative show n by the students which helped win the vote from the Assembly.

"The majority of the response lfrom the Assembly] focused around student participation in the project," said MacDonald. "The four million Idollarsl raised was incredibly well received."

Permission to build the new complex faced opposition from the Milton Park Citizens' Committee, members of the Durocher Village, and Les Amis de la Montagne. Les

Amis de la M ontagne and Durocher Village sent written briefs to the National Assembly,but didnotsend a representative.

The groups' main concerns dealt with the loss of green space which the project would bring. While in favour of the complex, Les Amis wanted the construction to be linked to the proposed re-planning of the Pine-Park intersection.

In response to these and other concerns, Ma thieu said that the new facility will be much m oreof a bene­ fit to the com m unity than the green space which currently exists north­ west of the Pine-Park intersection where the new complex is planned.

"W hat 1the student delegation] tried to do at Québec was first insist

on the fact that the students contrib­ uted financially and on the advan­ tage to the com m unity as a whole," she explained.

The still-unnamed facility will include five international squash courts,a da nee studio,a large weight room, a sports medicine clinic, a 200m etrebanked running track, and an 8-lanc, 25-metrc swim m ing pool.

Robert Du beau, McGill's Director of Athletics, said tha t the facility will be open to the public for full mem­ berships, special programmes, and pa y-per-use acti vi ties li ke s wi mm ing and jogging.

"With this facility, McGill Uni­ versity will have as good an athlet­ ics facility as anybody in the coun­

try," said a pleased Dubeau.

The complex will not only help at­ tract several high-level competitions, added Dubeau, but will also interest student athletes and faculty inter­ ested in top-rate facilities.

Construction is scheduled to be­ gin sometime later this year. Sam Kingdon, McGill's Associate VP Physical Resources, explained that the university m ust work out some final conditions with the City of Montréal now thq£ the province has given legal permission to build on the site.

"At this point I'm pretty certain w e're through all the approval proc­ esses that are significant to the proj­ ect," Kingdon said.

ASUS restoring fiscal stability

ASUS VP Finance Susan Nickerson smiles for the. camera.

D espite last term 's poorly at­ tended C om edy N ight which cost the A rts and Science U nder­ g ra d u a te Society (ASUS) a p ­ proxim ately $6,000, ASUS VP Finance Susan N ickerson be­ lieves that the Society's finances have finally been p u t in order.

H ow ever, the process has not been an easy one, as this year's ASUS Executive encountered a fiscal nightm are w hen it took office. A pparently, last year's ASUS Executive left behind $19,133.50 in u n p aid debts at the end of its term in office.

"W hy [the ASUS] w asleft with that, l d o n 't know ," said a puzzled Nickerson.

This y ea r's Executive was forced to renegotiate the d o n a ­ tion w ith the Deans in o rd e r to com e u p w ith funds to cover the unpaid debts. The D eans will now receive $14,000.

The ASUS also had to estab ­ lish a $7,088.10 Slush Fund to cover d eb ts incurred betw een S eptem ber and O ctober of 1991.

MAUT p rop oses em ploym ent equity resolution

BY T A M M Y H A U E R S T O C K

A recom m endation by the Equity C om m ittee of the McGill Associa tion of Uni versi ty Teach­ ers (MAUT) has led to disagree­ m ent am o n g McGill academ ics.

The résolu tion, d rafted on De­ cem ber 13th, calls for an exam i­ nation of the p ro p ortions of m ale and fem ale academ ics on staff, applican ts for academ ic posi­ tions, and qualified scholars in each discipline. A ccording to the resolution, if the p ro p o rtion of academ ics on staff is "different than that w hich w ould be ex­ pected ", a m em ber of an u n d e r­ represented g ro u p should fill an open position when "candidates a re d eterm i ned to be equ ivalen t".

The resolution also calls for

tw enty-five positions to be es­ tablished from the u n d er-rep re­ sented pools.

The resolution w as m odified at the MAUT Special G eneral M eeting last T hursday bu t no final vote w as taken. If accepted, the resolution w ould be a n o n ­ b in d in g re c o m m en d atio n to Sena te.

M ary M argaret Jones, the stu­ dent representative to Senate C om m ittee on W om en, w as d is­ appointed with the recom m en­ dation and the opposition it faces.

"M AUT has proposed a very mild form of equity insurance.

T hey're finding som e disturbing opposition. [7 ne resolution is] not binding, but people say it's coercive because it's asking people to report back to their

d ep a rtm en t heads," she said.

C oncerns that the resolution will lead to a quota system have also been raised. Rose Johnston, Professor of Biochem istry and head of the Senate Equity C om ­ m ittee, had som e reservations about the proposal, bu t w as sat­ isfied by the results of T hurs­ d a y 's m eeting and felt that her concerns had Been alleviated.

O thers, such as Peta Tancred, D irector of the McGill Centre for R esearch a n d T ea ch in g on W om en, arg u ed that these con­ cerns w ere unfounded from the start.

"The w hole issue of quotas has never been p art of [the proposal ].

W e're looking for goals in term s of w here w e 're going. T here's a g re a td e a l of m isunderstanding.

The interpretation of quota is com pletely incorrect," sne said.

She d esc rib ed T h u rs d a y 's m eeting as "a terrible w rangle" and predicted that w hat m any already consider to be a weak resolutio n "will be w atered d o w n even further."

Jones believed that the "excel­ lence" of the academ ic staff w ould not be affected, since the resolution specifies that the best qualified person should be hired.

She felt that the reco m m en d a­ tion could encourage fem ale academ ics to p u rsu e their stu d ­ ies further.

"Less than 20% of o u r profes­ sors are w om en. There are so m any female g rad u ate stu d en ts b u t so few professors," she said.

"W e d o n 't have en o u g h role

m odels for wom en. W om en who m ay be excellen t a re d issuad e d ."

Asa recipientof federal m oney, M cG i 11is req u ired to i nsti tu te an equity p rogram b u t has not yet enacted one. O th er universities like C oncordia have initiated such p rogram s, as Kathleen P erry of the C oncordia Equity Office explained.

"W e found th at w om en w ere u n d er-rep resen ted ," she said.

"Each dep artm en t m ust develop an action plan to redress the problem and spell o u t steps to a joint union-academ ic com m ittee which ap p ro v es all hiring."

The Tribune w as u n ab le to contact any m em bers of MAUT w ho rem ained opposed to the resolution.

"There has been a lot of progress m ade [con­ cerning wom en's issues] although changes were in the works before the [Montreal, December 6th 1989] massacre. That event served to ac­ celerate those changes."

Kostaszek pointed to the fact that engineering school crests and songs, considered obsolete and inappro­ priate, are undergoing revision at severa 1uni versi ties across the coun­ try.

Pascale Cham pagne, a student delegate from Guelph University, confirmed that the Montréal mas­ sacre helped to prom ote change and increase aw areness within the Ca­ nadian university engineering com­ munity.

Gino Brancatelli, President of the McGill Engineering Students' Soci­ ety (EUS), described the conference as an opportunity for various Cana­ dian university delegates to engage in "discussions on various issues concerningengineeringstudents' societiesacademically, socially,and fi­ nancially."

"A lot of the talks featuring guest speakers had to do with Canadian business competitiveness through­ out the world," said Brancatelli.

Isabelle Tardif, an engineering stu d en tat U nivcrsitede M ontréal's Ecole Polytechniqueand vice-presi­ dent of communications for the Congress explained the role of the conference.

"One of the major themes explored in the Congress is the fact that engi­ neering is more than math and sci­ ence. We are providing services and products to everyone," she said.

The status of women engineers was also seriously examined at the

1991 : A year in revue

W ho works in m y house?

Houses, houses, houses...

SSMU President Scott Mitic likened SSMU incorporation to “building a house" for the SSMU to live in at Council on Thurs­ day.

Although the issues raised by the idea of incorporation arc' manifold, one of the most promi­ nent made itself known through heated discussion at that mcct: ing. The issue of employee control seemed to be on the mind of m any councillors, and was on my own mind as well.

One of the main, and most positive, ideas behind the move to. incorporation is that the SSMU Employment Services Inc. would be able to hire its own em ploy­ ees, and have control over them.

The difficulty which arises when this is not the case may be seen through examination of the Don McGerriglc fiasco. If.some­ one works for the SSMU, that person's work should be over­ seen by the SSMÜ, not by an outside body, and certainly not bv an am putated version of the Society.

On Thursday night, however, the Executive members of the Society seemed to give the im­ pression that they, themselves and only, would be hiring SSMU employees. According to certain members of the Executive, making SSMU employee- job de­ scriptions and salaries available

hired to w-ork for you, and for me, and for every member of the Student's Society.

The Executive repeatedly gave the impression that SSMU employees w'ould only be working for them, and that they were the only five students of McGill University who needed to have any jurisdiction over their workers.

The danger in employee infor­ mation lies in limiting its availa­ bility, not promoting it. If someone is hired to w ork for the SSMU, that person is hired to work for me. The salary that employee receives is paid by me, and the service that person gives is for my benefit. I cer­ tainly want to have access to that person's job description.

If SSMU Employment Serv­ ices Inc. becomes a reality, then you and 1 and every member automatically becomes a share­ holder, and as shareholders, you and 1 and every member have as much jurisdiction over our em ­ ployees as the five Executives behind the SSMU desk. SSMU employees are our employees, not their employees. 1 am a member of the SSMU, and I want to have control over the people who work in my house.

to students would be a grave danger, and lead to numerous abuses of that information.

This idea is, quite simply, ludicrous. Many SSMU employees have close working relationships with non-Executive students, yet the Executive is unwilling to give "regular" students any control over the performance of these em ­ ployees. Keeping employment control in the hands of five people who may have very little day-today contact with certain employ­ ees is w hat is dangerous, and this danger was compounded by the conspiratorial air of the Executive on the subject.

Each and every comment on the issue made by members of the Executive seemed to imply that they were the only members of the society who needed, or indeed deserved, to know anything about the employees of the SSMU. Repeated concerns raised by other members of Council were dis­ missed by Executive members out of hand.

Whether SSMU employees are working productively for the 14,000-plus members of the Society is, apparently, unim portant, as long as they satisfy the five Execu­ tive members.

The tight-knittedness of execu­ tive opinion on this point was not only baffling, but insultingly arrogant. If someone is hired to work for the SSMU, that person is

To tell the truth The year was 392 of the Common Era and the Emperor Theodosius issued a decree that popularized a hitherto uncommon word. Though the decree never says it, there is no doubt what is meant. "Paganism," the word now in vogue, was illegal.

Of course what was illegal was not the word but what the word im­ plied. What was illegal was the hidden agenda behind the word which the decree had spelt out so clearly.

The problem I want to outline here has nothing to do with paganism—a word that covers a multitude of religions now lost to us-but with how, as in this example, one word is allowed to become a cover for the hidden agenda of those who employ it.

In Roman times, those guilty of paganism were no different from their ancestors who had freely prac­ tised these earlier religions of, often, high moral standard. The difference was not content but time; with the advent of Christianity these former

tions we hide behind it.

I wonder, though, if this really isn't a form of lying? When "telling the truth" becomes little more than "settling for the slogan", the power of truth is driven underground as the insidious desire to injure, to mutilate, or to conquer the other. Isn't the real truth about truth, the fact that it has nothing to hide?

Reportedly, Elie Wiesel's grandfa­ ther used to say, "An objective Hasid is not a Hasid". ! think that this works in Christianity too: an objective Christian is not a Christian.

What does this mean? It means we use the word inclusively as a means to explore the mystery of the world rather than use it exclusively to co/er a hidden agenda that serves to segregate the world according to our prejudices.

religions were collectively labelled and collectively accused of the same crimes-we might add, in the same way and with the same harshness earlier Christians had been treated by "pagan" authorities.

From a purely historical point of view, one is obliged to conclude that when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the religion changed, but not the use of "truth". In fact, a cynic might even say that Christian authorities used truth in traditional pagan fashion as a means to unite the Empire and to justify violence against any difference understood to threaten it.

It is questionable whether it is any different today. Whether one is Christian or not is beside the point. In one manner or another, we all define the boundaries of "truth" in our lives and must justify them.

The question is: by what means and at what cost will this act be done? It can be done using the method of fourth century Rome by allowing one "word" to cover an agenda of interdic­

Pity 1992. As 1991, know n on the C hinese calendar as the Year of the Palindrom e, stum bles into history, it leaves som e rath er spacious tracks to fill. 1991 provided us w ith, am ong other things, a w ar in w hich A m ericans proved that they like to shoot each other overseas as well as at hom e, and the final d is­ m antling of those perennial nuclear bogeypeople and eco­ nom ic ne'er-do-w ells, the USSR. Hell, in the first five ho u rs of 1991, seven New Yorkers w ere m u rdered. Top that, '92.

The year ahead is already rife w ith at least one thing: questions. Will 1992 see C anada hop on the in tern a­ tional disband w agon? It m ay seem im probable, b u t at the d aw n of 1991, w ho could have predicted that by y ear's end Boris Yeltsin w ould have single-handedly rendered m illions of globes and one Beatles song obsolete?

Also, can 1992 hope to p ro ­ duce a m ore rep u g n an t can­ didate for public office than the surgically altered and in­ explicably charism atic Hitler fan-club m em ber David Duke? It seem s unlikely, unless overzealous carnivore and Hannibal Lechter fanclub m em ber Jeffrey D ahm er decides to take a run at the Democratic Presidential nom ination.

Rest assu red , how ever, that 1992 com es com plete with som e suitably m om entous events of its ow n.

O ne w hich should p articu ­ larly inspire hope for the future is the unveiling of InfoNet, a U.S. cable channel which will broadcast 30 m inute "inform ercials" 24 h ours a day. These "infom er­ cials," often cleverly dis­ guised as really boring talkshow s, have previously been available only as curi­ ously hypnotic tim e-w asters for insom niacs and term inal procrastinators. N ow they can be seen at an y h o u r of day or night, teaching us that

GROUNDZERO

BY ADAM STERNBERGH

w here there's a will, there's an A, and w here th ere's a revolutionary, space-age product, there's a retread pseudo-celebrity w illing to huck it in the wee h o urs of the m orning.

The nam e of the new netw ork, InfoNet, is eerily rem iniscent of the insidious com puter, SkyNet, which enslaves h u m an ity in the Terminator films. P erhaps this m eans we can look forw ard to John L aroquette and M alcolm-Jamaal W arner sending their future, w ashedu p selves back to o u r time to sell us discount ray g u n s and factory direct telepathy helm ets at low, low clear-out prices.

W hatever the com ing year m ay hold, we can be certain at least of one thing. Com e 1993, w e will all be sitting aro u n d , scratching o u r heads and w ondering how the year slipped by so quickly.

The university lifestyle, with its endless succession of deadlines, exam inations and o th er health-risks, seem s especially conducive to rapid dissipation into the realm of m em ory. Why, it seem s like just yesterday that we were arriv in g at M cGill's decid­ edly erotic Gates, idealistic frosh who still believed that the key to university success w as rolling up y o u r sleeves, not dirtying y o u r nose.

There are tw o things which w hen lost can never be re ­ gained: innocence and vir­ ginity. If only w eight w ere like that. As a sage friend once m used, a w aist is a terrible thing to m ind.

It's all enough to m ake one long for the bygone d ay s of youth, w hen tim e w as m eas­ ured by the length of a "T hree's C om pany" episode, and eternity w as anything longer than y o u r attention span.

On June 17th of this year, over 20,000 signa lures were presented to the Canadian government protesting the GST on these products. O r­ ganizations like the Alberta

Status of Women Action Collective(ASWAC)initiated pe­ titions against what they claim is a "sexist" tax. Gov­ ernment officials have denied these charges of sexism.

Members of ASWAC find the tax particularly unfair in the light of the list of products which the governm ent con­ siders "needs" - including fro­ zen pizza, canoe rentals and donated sperm - which are tax-exempt.

I went to a lecture last semester, during which the woman speaking spent most of her lengthy address explain­ ing to the packed auditorium about the words and phrases she had recently coined. The audience listened with increas­ ing restlessness, hoping for a morsel of wisdom to emerge from this garble of jargon. A new and interesting-approach was rendered unclear and, in fact, uninteresting, buried as it was beneath a m ountain of loaded terms and fabricated phrases.

Clearly, language specific to certain occupations and academic disciplines is useful to ease com munication among the individuals involved. In many contexts, it is practical to shorten long, complicated explanations to a word or phrase. Jargon however, can also be absurdly cryptic, offi­ cious and a thoughtless crutch.

Explaining the self-explana­ tory and complicating the un­ complicated with jargon, elevates self-evident concepts to the realm of the supernatu­ ral. Communication becomes a gobbledygook of abstractions.

debate, the lingo effectively alienates the uninitiated. Not only can academics in different disci­ plines not communicate with each other, but outside the walls of the university, nobody can understand them.

Strikingly, many of the indi­ viduals excluded from debate in this way, are simultaneously the object of academic inquiry. For years, non-white, non-hetcro, non­ m iddle class women have called for dialogue between the feminist academic community and the women about whom they theorize.

Cooperation between these groups is undoubtedly necessary if any real change for women is to occur.

Talk about m arginalization and im poverishm ent of women means little to the m arginalized and poor when strategies for practical action are obscured by rhetoric.

The issue is one of power. The ability to construct language and have exclusive use of it, is a function of having power. Using jargon that is so specialized it is in­ accessible, expresses and rein­ forces the privilege of the power-

ful.

As it becomes fashionable to use certain buzzw ords, merely uttering these terms seem to say everything to people in the know. They will nod in smug agreem ent when the single word "kinship" or "patriarchy" is used to explain a complex subject. These words however, are not self-explanatory and can not be an alternative to thought­ ful considéra tion.

Jargon stifles and misleads genuine communication. 1 suspect however, that the gobbledygook will continue because, like a childhood game, the charm is lost as a wider circle learns the rules.

BY TANTA T O M A S Z E W S K A A N D N IC K JO N E S

T om S to p p a r d 's b rillia n t com edy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead opened January 8th at the C entaur T heatre to a packed and receptive house.

Back by p o p u lar dem and, the Repercussion Theatre C om pany is rem oun ti ng i ts successfu 11991 production of S to p p ard 's m od­ ern classic.

The play is best sum m ed u p b y its subtitle: "A M essenger's Eye View of H am let". Set in Elizabe­ than times, the play focuses on the tw o m inor characters of S hakespeare's Hamlet and takes place betw een the lines of the D anish tragedy. S to p p ard's play explores the question, "W hat h ap p en s to all those insignifi­ cant characters when they leave the stage?".

But the play is also concerned with d eep er issues. Rosencrantz and G uildenstem are tw o people stru g g lin g with the m etaphysi­ cal problem sof establishing iden­ tity and m eaning in a confusing w orld th ato ffersnoansw ers.T he tw o are so confused that they often call each o th er by the other m an 's nam e.

G uildenstem (Cas A nvar) is a rationalist and w ould-be philoso­ p h er w ho attem p ts to provide

com plicated logical explanations for the ap p a ren tly a rb itra ry events occuring around him.

R osencrantz (Robert van der Lin­ den) is m ore intuitive, bu t som e­ w h a t slo w , re m in is c e n t of W oody Boyd on Cheers.

T he tw o frie n d s stu m b le through the play, desperately trying to find out w hat they are doing, and why. Stoppard laces the play heavily w ith word gam es, the funniest being "Q ues­ tions", which is sort of a sem an­ tic-m nem onic tennis m atch. The play sets up a strong dichotom y betw een the structure of the gam e, and the arbitrary n ature of existence. In life, G uilden­ stem lam ents, "there are no rules".

Stoppard could be accused of being an existentialist or ab ­ surdist playw right in having his m ain characters groping around searching for reasons to do an y ­ thing. G uildenstem says at one point "give us this o u r daily cue".

There are several long pauses in both dialogue and action w hen the tw o just sit and gaze into the audience.

These scenes help to infuse the play with a Waiting for Godot-ish sense of futility. Rosencrantz and G uildenstem can find no m ean­ ing or answ ers, but they sim ply g o o n , siltingand talking. It is hi­ larious to w atch the clue-less pair attem pt to figure ou t w hat their

Cas Anvar and Robert van der Linden contemplate life in Rosencrantz and Guildenstem. p u rp o se is in a w orld that con­ trols them.

The action is trem endously funny, loaded wi th sla pstick and farce. The R epercussion Theatre is a solid com pany with very tal­ ented actors, m any of whom play m ore than one role. Cas Anvar, Robert van d er Linden, Joe de Paul an d Jennifer M orehouse deserve special credit for their

delivery and comic timing. There w as not one weak perform ance am ong the strong su pporting cast.

Th e on 1y wa r n i n g co nee rn s th e length of the play, which runs close to three hours. Some m ay tire of R osencrantz's and Guilden stern 's endless word play and postulating, but this should not

affect the overall poignance and com edy of the production. «

Rosencrantz and G uildenstem are Dead runs Tuesday to Satur­ day at 8:30 pm at The Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal until 25 January. Tickets a re $8 for students, $15 at the door. Phone 288-3161 for reservations.

BY JO S H B E Z O N SK Y

C hristian Sla ter is a really cool nam e. It evokes im ages of a cru ­ sading w hite knight saving the w orld fro m m arau d in g d rag o n s.

Bu t after view ing his m ost recen t film effort, Kuffs, m any people m ay d o u b t if C hristian Slater is this m an 's real m oniker.

In fact, it seem s unlikely that C hristian Slater is a real hum an being. Instead, he m ight be the result of genetic engineering experim ents carried out by evil scientists in H ollyw ood.

The m an is an assem blage of Jam es Dean hair, Jack Nicholson speech and Pee Wee H erm an

sincerity. Oh, and to top it all off, Kuffs has Slater addressing the cam era every m inute or so, like Michael C aine in Al fie. Can we say "derivative"?

Slater plays G eorge Kuffs, a y oung aim less punk w hose life gains direction w hen his copbrother is m u rd ered by the mob.

T hanks to som e quirky C alifor­ nia law, he inherits his b ro th er's job. All alone in the w orld except for his m orning erection ("At least I've still got you, old faith­ ful," rem arks Slater), he w ages a one-dude w ar to clean u p San Francisco.

W hat utter schlock. The entire film is painfully sim ilar to Bev­

erly Hills Cop, except Eddie M urphy w as funny and Kuffs does not have that Axel F song.

N evertheless, the film contains enough gratu ito u s sex and vio­ lence to thrill the fourteen yearold set.

The film contains captivating scenes involving the destruction of C orvettes and frozen turkeys.

Pitiful b u t true. It looks like those w ho have no m em ories of Holly­ wood past are doom ed to repeat it at the Faubourg.

But wait, it gets worse. The o ther actors in the film make Slater look like Olivier (well, at least like Brannagh). The lead actress was last seen frolicking

in w hat m ight have been called the New Unimproved Blue Lagoon and apparently, she hasn 't had time to change since then. In the opening scene she is frolicking (and giggling, of course) in the Blue Living Room with Slater.

The fun com es to an ab ru p t end w h en sh ean n o u n ces "Guess w hat? I'm , like, p regnant". W hat a turn-off for Ku ffs, w ho inform s the audience that he has got to d u m p her now. The issue of u n ­ planned pregnancy was defi­ nitely handled m ore deftly by

the kids of DeCrassi and for that m atter, by the Simpsons. In fact, the dialogue in Kuffs is rem inis­ cent of McBain episodes on the Simpsons' television set: "I'm sorry y o u r b ro th c risd e a d . H ave a nice day."

The nam e "C hristian Slater" is brilliant. It m ay win an aw ard and will u n d o u b te d ly d raw m any un su sp ectin g people into show ings of Kuffs. H ow ever, keeping those people there for the whole m ovie will require real cuffs. *

Balconville: A slice of life in Pointe St. Charles

BY DAVID NORTH

David Fennario's bilingual stage production, Balconville, leaves the typical Centaur audience with a somewhat disconcerted feeling.The play concerns the trials and tribula­ tions of a group of lower middleclass families living in a working class district outside of Montreal in Pointe St. Charles. At S23 per ticket, however, the people that come to see this play will be everything but working class.

There is no central storyline to the play. One character loses his job, another kicks her husband out, a young boy runs away from home, a woman waters her plants. Between

St, Ambroises and glasses of red wine, the audience is invited into the troubled world of Balconville for an hour or two.

The set, which looks like any num ber of residences between St. Laurent and St. Denis, takes the audience back twenty years. Care­ ful attention is paid todetail;al! beer consumed is sipped from ancient stubby bottles, and there are enough fringed vests and bell-bottomed pants to make viewers think they are watching the McGill Arts steps circa October '91.

The play's treatmen t of the Québec language issue is one of its strongest features. Out of the three families

depicted, only one, the Paquettes, is Frcnch-Canadian. Of the other two families, (comprising four people), only one member initially bothers to speak French when she deals with the Paquettes. The others stubbornly stick to English, and call the Paquettes everything from "frogs" to "peppers" to "pepsis".

Despite its importance, however, the language issue does not totally dom inate the play. Fennario's focus is on more hum an concerns, includ­ ing poverty, alcoholism, relationship break u p s, and unem ploym ent, which unite the characters in the end.

The dram a's climax comes in its

closing minutes, as the re-elected MP of the Balconville district deliv­ ers his acceptance speech. Fennario turns this scene intoa powerful social statement by having the mayor de­ liver his lines noton stage, but rather from the audience. This strategic move serves to underline the inevi­ table and oppressive division be­ tween the privileged Centaur audi­ ence and the lives of Balconvillers.

There is a great deal of hum our in Balconville, which is probably nec­ essary to keep the aud ience from be­ coming too intimate with the alltoo-humourless lives of the charac­ ters. It may also serve to prevent any sense of guilt in the audience.

When Claude Paquette (brilliantly played by Marc Celinas) is asked if he is going anyw here for a summer vacation, the massive father contem­ plates his stubby Molson Export and his surroundings. "Balconville!" he then concludes.

It is perhaps unreasonable to expect cash-strapped students to fork out t he S15 student rate for tick­ ets. Thercare, however, much worse ways to spend G randm a's Christmascheque. If you do decide to see Balconville, you might want to take advantage of the Balconville/Centaur theatre special of two-for-one beer prices on Tuesday and Wed­ nesday nights. y

G rand Canyon o ffe r s a g l i m m e r o f h o p e a g a i n s t a b a c k d ro p o f chaos

BY MARK EVANS Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill, Silverado, and The Accidental Tourist) explores the fragility of life and the significance of unexpected, often seemingly trivial events, in his new film, Grand Canyon.

The plot involves six principle characters whose lives take unex­ pected turns because of small m ir­ acles which affect their daily affairs.

Their destinies are altered in ways they could not possibly foresee.

The action centres on a tow-truck drivernam ed Simon (DannyGlover) and Mack (Kevin Kline), an immi­ gration lawyer. When Mack's car breaks down in a rough part of Los Angeles, he is rescued by Simon, who becomes an unlikely com pan­ ion from a very different back­ ground. The movie identifies the common concerns of these two men, which they would never have rec­ ognized were it not for a twist of fate.

A series of subplots enriches this storyline. There is Dee (Mary-Louise Parker), Simon's sister who is trying to raise a boy in a neighbour­ hood plagued by gang wars much like the ones depicted in Boyz in the Hood. As a result of thcchancc friend­ ship between Simon and Mack, Dee's life is also altered for the better.

Jane (Alfre Woodard) enters into the story as Mack's secretary who is madly in love with him. She is just one more element in the sphere of Mack's life which is teetering on the edgeof complete hysteria. While this scenario does not really figure into

the main body of the plot, Jane's im­ pending instability is symbolic of a general hysteria that exists in pres­ ent day Los Angeles.

Grand Canyon is not without its comical moments either. Steve Mar­ tin plays Davis, a hum ourous film director who produces brutally vio­ lent (licks. The comedy ends, how­ ever, when Davis is shot, ironically encountering the same sort of vio­ lence he has exploited.

The charm of Grand Canyon lies in the positive outcome of all these chance meetings and events which could have had horrible conse­ quences.

Thematically, Grand Canyon has enough action and depth to glue the audiences' eyes to the screen from start to finish. Kasdan, however,does not relv on plot alone. The cinema­ tography is intriguingly subtle and adds to the depth of this thoughtprovoking film.

Credit should be given where it is due. Lawrence Kasdan hascreated a movie about the way we can posi­ tively affect other people's lives. Yet Grand Canyon cannot be labelled a "feel-good movie". Kasdan points out that while small miracles do happen, no life is without some degree of pain.Grand Canyon comes out at an appropriate time, when urban life is becoming increasingly complex.

Up for review: Don, E d g ar a n d F ra n k

BY ALLAN 'BUNNY BLITZ' TAIT D o n C herry- M u ltik u lti A&M W hen Don C herry isn't blow ­ ing his little tiny pocket trum pet for Sun Ra, h ed e v o te s his tim e to solo m aterial. M ultikulti is a fine exam ple of C herry's prow ess, and his feel for different m usical cultures. H e can be zany- as in theJohnP hilipS ousam eetsC lark Terry styling of "T rum pet," and the bizarre rap in "M ultikulti Soothsayer." C herry throw s in an Egyptian tinge w ith "Flute," and sim m ers in an alm ost-reggae vein with "Birdboy." The al­ b u m p ea k s, h o w e v er, w ith " D e d ic a tio n to T hom as M apfuno" and "Until the Rain Com es." "M apfuno" is p art Af­ rican high life, part Dixieland fu­ neral m arch, and show cases the intertw ining saxophones of Pe­ ter A pfelbaum and Carlos W ard.

"Rain" also d raw s on African influences, but m ixes them with a distinctly A m erican jazz /b lu e s flavour, to create a som ew hat d ark, m oodily beautiful song, w hich effectively breaks into a Sun Ra-ish rum ble, follow ed by

a Latin extravaganza. If Don C herry isn't w here jazz is h ead ­ ing, he should be.

Edgar M eyer- W orks in Prog­ ress M CA M eyer first turned heads with his brilliant, articulate classical playing of the double bass. H e proved him self to be equally adept at straight u p jazz, and displayed a taste for bluegrass.

W hat m ade his w ork stand out w as the classical discipline he applied to all of his playing. Wi th Works in Progress, he reigns him ­ self in, playing nine m ore or less classically influenced d u ets wi th pianist Amy Dorfm an, and one indulgent but fun solo piece.

M eyer's taste ru n s to the m e­ lodic, with urgent yet u n o b tru ­ sive solo playing over D orfm an's cascading piano. H is interpreta­ tion of R avel's "Pavane p o u r une infant defunte" is sensitive and beautiful, and his ow n com posi­ tions, specifically "W ithout ex­ press intention" and "Interlude," follow successfully in the sam e vein. M eyer's eclectic side show s through in the solo "Froglike" and "M cG lynn's Jigs," and his

se n se o fh u m o u ra p p e a rsin "The Great Green Sea Snake." M any m usicians, in clu d in g H arvie Sw artz and Rob W asserm an, have been trying to give the double bass prom inence. With Works in Progress, M eyer pro­ vides this m ovem ent w ith solid support.

Frank Sinatra- The C apitol Years C apitol A lthough not quite as hip as the R eprise collection, this threeCD set offers glim pses of the C hairm an of the Board at one of the m ost exciting periods in his career. D uring the late fifties and early sixties, S inatra's p o p u la r­ ity was high, and he had devel­ oped a m atu rity lacking in the. "radio years" of the thirties and forties. This seventy-five (!) song collection offers shots of Sinatra in every conceivable m ood. He goes from sad, w ith "Som eone to W atch O ver Me," to d o w n ­ right plaintive with "In the Wee Small H ours of the M orning."

JANUARY SALE

The m an sw ings, too, as given evidence by the sim ply grand version of "N ight and Day," and a classic interpretation of "You C an 't Take That Away From Me." Of course, w hen you com ­ bine Frank Sinatra and Nelson R iddle, the schm altz potential is high, and it com es to a head here with Frank b eltin g o u t the them e

to the TV show "O u r Town."

Even this, though, is a neces­ sary com ponent of H oboken Frank's personality. The collec­ tion also contains som e p rev i­ ously unreleased m aterial, and the liner notes, w ritten in p a rt by N ancy, are an ad d ed bonus. In­ dispensable. *

Sports Briefs Martlets successful against teams with strange names The McGill Martlet Hockey team travelled toa Ste. Ccsaireopen tournament this rast weekend where it ultimately fell to Repcntignv's 'Sherbrooke Street' in the inal match, 4-1. Saturday in round-robin action, McGill collected a pair of draws, 1-1 with'Sherbrooke Street', and 4-4 with Repentigny's 'Dynamos'. After a 2-1 Sun­ day morning victory, the Martlets earned a berth in the finals. Brenda Benson lead the team in tournament scoring while netminder Christine Goodyear staged an impressive debut between the pipes. The Mart lets travel to Hanover, New Hampshire this coming weekend to engage Dartmouth College's finest over a two-game series.

The team's first league game of the semester is scheduled for the 25th of this month, when McGill will host UQTR at the McConnell arena.

Spots open up in squash rankings A revised McGill Men's Squash team will be travelling to southern Ontario this coming weekend to participate in the Crossover tournament. Squads from West­ ern, Waterloo, McMaster and Guelph will be represented. The Redmen will be slaving off throughout this week to fill in the rankings vacated by graduate Dave Diestaland Mike Burden. Burden is on medical rotation in British Columbia.

"Western has traditionally been a powerhouse," said player and coach Dave Bchm, "and Waterloo will likely finish second, but if we can la v a boating on the other three, then we'll be in a good spot for the championship tournament on January 31."

Florida no Spring Break for swim team On December30, the McGill Swim Team embarked on a ten-day training session to West Balm Beach, Florida, allowing I lead Coach François Laurin to re-evaluate team performances in the wake of exams, and five weeks prior to the provincials.

"It wasn't that easy," said Laurin. "Every time we go down south people think we're taking some sort of vacation, but we swam up to 15 km a day."

Sharing a pool with six other teams, the red and white experimented with different strategies, and swept New Jersey's Ryder College across five events in a friendly duel.

"The weather wasn't that great, but it was the best camp that we've had yet," said Laurin.

The weekend ahead will see McGill in the pool at Université de Montreal at 4:30, Saturday.

Ski team gets a workout The McGill Alpine Ski Team recently returned from a seven day ski camp at Mount Sutton where Head Coach BavefBochabradski ran the team through some "hard-fisted" training and conditioning. Both Ontario-born Jonathan Stone and Quebec's Sophie Marcoux tookadvantage of the excellent conditions throughout the camp, earning the attention of veterans and coaching staff alike.

Many of this year's racers are new to varsity level competition and will compete in the season's first race, a slalom this weekend at Va 1Ste. Combe, and at Rimouski on the weekend to follow.

V ictory e sca p es M artlet cag ers in dying seco n d s

BY SEAN G O R D O N W hen the season began, M ar­ tlets basketball coach C hris H u n ter had high hopes for his squad. H ow ever, the season to this point has been uninspiring.

The M artlets w ere trying to tu rn things around in the first event of the new year w hen they hosted the 13th A nnual Martlets Invitational T ournam ent last w eekend. U nfortunately, the host team w as unable to win the cham pionship, or even contend, as McGill finished a d isap p o in t­ ing sixth ou t of eight entries.

"W e'd had five practices be­ fore the tournam ent and I guess we deserved w hat w e got," ex­ plained forw ard Jane Ross.

In a to u rn am en t rem atch at C oncordia on Friday, it w as evi­ d ent from the o utset that the M artlets w ere fired up. Their d e­ fensive intensity forced C oncor­ dia to w ork h ard for every shot, bu t the Stingers w ere sti 11able to eke o u t a 53-51 victory.

In a first half characterized by turn o v ers and hard-nosed d e ­ fence, McGill b e n e fite d from cold shooting on the Stingers' p art and great w ork on the glass by fo rw ards M artina Van der Vli st and Jane Ross. The M artlets parlayed their hard w ork into a tw o point half tim e lead.

In the second half, the M ar­ tlets' sw arm ing interior defence helped build the lead back u p to six, while forcing C oncordia to try its hand at bom bing from the outside. The lead kept increas­ ing, as McGill turned Concordia m isses into long possessions in the M artlet half court (à la Dean Smith "four corners" offense).

The lead eventually reached nine w ith ab o u t ten m inutes rem ain­ ing.

Just as forw ard Debby M orse w as beginning to assert herself on the offensive glass, how ever, she picked up tw o quick fouls (her 3rd an d 4th) which forced her to sit at the 8:30 m ark. C oin­ cidentally, this is w hen the

Redmen volleyball 1 and 1 on the weekend Over the course of the weekend, the McGill Redmen Volleyball team engaged squads from Sherbrooke and Bishop's, tallying a loss and a win, respectively.

McGill fell to the nationally ranked Vert et Or in throestraigh tsets ( 15-4,15-4,159), before rising over the Gaiters in four (15-5,15-13,12-15, 16-9). "[The loss to Sherbrooke was a drain on our morale, "said head coach lan Jordan.

"We really thought we could takecareof Sherbrooke if wed id n't ha veto play them on such short notice."

Saturday at 6:00, the Redmen will hoshseventh-ranked Université de Montreal at the Currie Gymnasium.

"This week we are going to focus on pressure type drills to pick up some of the slack," promised Jordan.

Martlet volleyball gears up for U. de M., Concordia Over the cou rseof the past week, the McGill Mart let Vo Heyball team end mod an eight-practice training camp where I lead Coach Kachelle Belivoau honed ball control and team defense skills throughout the ranks.

"We also started to focus a little on the psychological aspects of the game, working on concentration and control of ourselves on the court, said Beliyeau.

"We will be continuing that through the rest of January and into February."

Wednesdav, the Martlets meet up with Université de Montréal, then host the Concordia Lad v-Stingcrs Saturday, at the Currie Gymnasium at 8:00.

Big travel plans for rugby clubs After last year's tour of Britain was postponed beneath the shadow of the Gulf War, the McGill Martlet Rugby team will embarked on a long awaited tour of the British Isles for Spring Break,! 992.

The ten-da v trip has been partly funded bv club cookbook sales, while the team was fortunate enough to have deposits from last year reserved until thisyear. Club members will be billeted in the homes of their hosts for the duration of the trip.

The Redmen Rugbv team is also considering the possibility of a concu rrent trip to a New Orleans tournament hosted bv Louisiana's Tula ne University. The tour­ nament would feature teams from all over North America and occur during New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations.

Redmen cagers die a quick death at Concordia The McGill Redmen basketball team was defeated twice over the course of the weekend, bowing to Concordia 101-78, and falling 96-74 at Bishop's on Sunday.

After a E uropean tour which featured o p p o n en ts such as the L ahrSelectsand the Baden Rusty R aiders, the R edm en hockey team retu rn ed to play plain old W ilfred L aurier on Friday night.

The team continued its g ian t­ killing w ays, ed g in g the #8rankcd G olden H aw ks, 3-2.

M cGill's scores in France and G erm any read like Forum atten ­ dance figures. All the gam es were com m an d in g victories, save a loss to a Division O ne French team , the latter at least partly d u e to the fact that a third of the team d id n 't arrive until the sec­ ond period.

Forw ard Stacey M cGregor, the first star against Laurier w ho is contin u in g his season of strong physical play, th o u g h t the trip w as good p rep aratio n for the Redm en.

"It really pulled the team to­ gether," he said. "It w as a good experience for us, and I the expe­ rience will | enhance o u r play for the second half."

It certainly looked as if L aurier w ould m eet the sam e fate as M cGill's E uropean o p p o nents w hen M ichael G rady scored 18 seconds into the m atch.

For R aym ond, one of five u n i­ versity players selected for Team C anada a t the Spongier C up, the jum p from playing the G uelph G ryp h o n s to R ussia's C entral Red A rm y was a big one. Mat­ ters w ere not helped by the abu n-

dance of professional players in the lineup, relegating R aym ond to fourth-line duty.

"The lack of ice tim e w as the only draw back," he said. "But it w as a great experience. 1 played against Mats N aslu n d , Kent Nilsson, G aston G ingras. There w ere 8,(MX) fans every night, playing d ru m s thro ughout the gam e, nonstop. It's a great at­ m osphere."

R aym ond w as b ro u g h t back to earth by L aurier's 'N orth Am erican style' tight defensive system .

"1 d o n 't think w e're playing that well. I think w e got a lot of bad habits out of playing in Eu­ rope," he said of F riday's gam e.

Not overly skilled, the G olden H aw ks com pensated w ith hard hitting and disciplined play.

M cGregor had w ords of praise for the Haw ks.

Runners struggle to get back on track after reclassification

Ma:-: Cathy

For McGill runners, the im pera­ tive of the season ahead appears to be the survival of the club before it even entertains thoughts of posting a winning season. The long-awaited debut of num ber one-ranked na­ tional ju nior ru nner Bri ggi tte Nehma will likely be held off until late in the season, if at all, pending an injured ankle.

Breaking the national top ten at the senior level for the first time just last year, Nehm a also captured a third in the 800m at the Junior PanAm games in Jamaica last summer.

Nehma graduated from College André Grasset last year with schol­ arship offers from Harvard, Iowa University and George Mason Universi ty, bu t elected to s ta y in Quebec to maintain family tiesand stay with her personal trainer of seven years.

"If everything goes well then maybe I'll run one or two races," said Nehma.

Nehma still has not had a chance to dem onstrate her potential, since McGill was forced to cancel the first scheduled meet of the new year at

Inorder tocompete, they ha ve chosen to pay in ex­ cess of the standing club fees to com pensate for their unavailability for fundraising activities O ther runners have simply been forced to leave the team.

This year Laval has re­ cen tly u n d e rg o n e a coaching change that may effect the stabili ty of the team, bu t is slated to be a real competitor.

Nationally-ranked Sher­ brooke is, as always, a threat to be considered, due to its outstanding facilities and full-time coaching staff.

"You never know un­ til we have the first race, but l think that this is going to be a surviving year more than anything else," said veteran run­ ner Paul McCabe.

McGill's first meet will likely take place in late January at Dartmouth.

H a n o v e r, N ew H a m p s h ire 's D artm outh College due to financial limitations.

"W e've resigned to the fact that after com peting all day we're not going to put our lives on the line to support the adm inistration that w o n'tsupport us," said Head Coach Dennis Barrett. "Basically, if we can't afford a bus, we w on't go to meets."

Barrett cited the "deleterious and devastating effects" of the depart­ m ent's reclassification decision as the reason for the club's present woes. "| Reclassification] was ill-timed and showed a complete lack of re­ spect for any work that has been done before. I'll be surprised if we cancom pete," hesaid. "W ecan'tgo and ask the adm inistration to loan us three thousand dollars, because where the hell are we going to get three thousand dollars to pay them back?"

While some runners have sched­ ules flexible enough to accomodate fundraising obligations, m any have been unable to juggle hefty com­ m ittm ents to their studies, athletic pursuits, and capital accumulation.

C r a s h in g t h e O ly m p ic p a r ty Labelling the IOC committee m em bers 'spoilsports', the media has recently slammed the decision to bar ski jum per Eddie 'The Eagle' Edw ards from competition at the Albertville W inter Games.

If the nam e d oesn't i m media tcly ring a bell, perhaps the image of a rag doll hurtling through the air only to land on his face 40 metres short of any other competitor might spark a hint of recollection.

D on't get me wrong, l was as entertained by Ed's Calgary antics as m uch as the next guy, but I don't think antics are w hat theOlym pics are all about. I'd be the first to invite the Edmeister to my tobog­ gan party,and m aybeoneday he'd invite me over to his backyard set­ up, but beyond that I think we'd best call it a day.

The media and Edw ards have lamented the notion that com peti­ tion in Albertville will feature the w orld's best ski jumpers, rather than the best that each nation has to offer, and that the event has been surrounded by hype and com m er­ cialism.

Well, cry me a river, folks, excuse the rest of us for pursuing excel­ lence.

'M aking the cut' isasm u ch a fea­ ture of am ateur sport as the fun­ draising and spirited competition that the Eagle contends brought a

/

grassroots elem ent to the games in '88. Eddie, mind you, had no team to make, no national Olympic trial objectives to meet, nodom es ticcompetitors above which to rise.

Itappears that this 'trueam atcur's' repertoire is a little suspect.

Sure, maybe Edw ards is the best jum per the British have to offer, but that's their problem, not the Olym ­ pic committee's.

Regardless of E dw ards' conten­ tions, the Olympics are not for the priveleged alone.

The IOC is well aw are that the political and economic climates of underdeveloped states foster few, if any, athletic ini tiafive programmes, and that unstable or im poverished nations have little chance of gener­ ating revenues via hosting Olympic events. A portion of the Calgary profits were accordingly allocated to affirmative athletic developm ent program m es in such countries, and each successivcGames will continue to do so.

After watching Edw ards in Cal­ gary, we all had a little lighthearted chuckle, a nd will u ndoubtedl y ha ve fond memories of him, the Jamaican Bobsled team, and the alpine skier from Mexico.

Excuse me if I sound a wee tad insensitive, but the 'everyone's fa­ vorite loser' gag onlv works once Ed.

Nobody should be able to just 'sign u p ' for the Olympic games and dub themselves true Olympi­ ans on the basis of their acclama­ tion. Ed took us all for a fun little ride at the Olympics, and it was simply because of the dynamism of his personality, and the healthy nature of the games at Calgary.

Had Ed been a quiet, lonely indi­ vidual, we would have wept with pangs of humiliation onhisbehalf.

More likely still, he w ouldn't ha ve even been there.

If anything, the Eagle is an op­ portunist, who played an amusing walk-on role at theCalgary games and is rightfully doom ed to footnotation in the annals of sports history.

E ddieisa turkey who was lucky to have flapped his pom pous wings in the first place, let alone reemerge for a nother frui tless d isplay of ineptitude in Albertville.
