A I E S EC o f f e r s a n a p o l o g y In the first w eek of S eptem ­ b er 1991, an issue w as raised co n cerning the selection of com panies for career days o r­ ganized by AIESEC McGill.

This evaluation reg ard s the c o m p a n ie s ' h irin g p o licies ag ain st the lesbians and gays in the com m unity.

W e realize th at som e of the com panies that have been in­ vited this year do discrim inate a g a in s t th e s e in d iv id u a ls ,

nam ely the RCMP an d the C anadian A rm ed Forces.

It is im portant to m ention that AIESEC McGill w as n o t aw are of the hom ophobic policies.of these com panies.

W e apologize to G ALOM for this m isunderstanding. In the future, AIESEC McGill will review the hiring policies of com panies w hen inviting them to career days an d o ther events at McGill U niversity.

AIESEC's philosophy is one of respect and equality; we object to policies th at are sexist, racist or hom ophobic.

W e again w ould like to say th at w e d o not discrim inate against any g ro u p or associa­ tion. If there are any issues that do arise, w e hope to discuss this w ith any g ro u p so that AIESEC McGill and the con­ cerned g ro u p can w ork to­ gether.

AIESEC McGILL

Letters to the Editor E d ito r's N ote: The following three letters were submitted for the September 17th issue. Due to space limitations, we were unable to print them until this time. Thanks for waiting!

Pill exclusion discriminatory Dear E ditor, To say that I was tro u b le d after reading yo u r article o f September 10 re g a rd in g the proposed SSMU M edicare plan is a d e fin ite understatem ent. The ve ry existence o f a debate re g a rd in g the in clu sio n o r exclusion o f "th e P ill", due to its effect on p o lic y cost, forced m e to realize that the em ancipation o f w om en and the m ove m e n t to w a rd e q u a lity have n o t yet been grasped b y o u r o w n dear SSMU. A c c o rd in g to the article, Karla M acdonald, (VP External), is concerned that b y m a kin g the P ill affordable to fem ale stu­ dents, (and in d ire c tly to m ales as w e ll), the SSMU w o u ld be co n tra d ictin g th e ir safe-sex p o licy. Perhaps M s. M acdonald is u n aw are that a true regim en o f safe sex requires bo th condom s and the P ill.

W h ile this is a s ig n ifica n t oversight, w hat I fin d tru ly offensive is the assum ption that the sole purpose o f the P ill is to p re ve n t pregnancy. In num erable w om en, both sexually active and not, depend on the P ill fo r its therapeutic benefits w ith regards to m enstruation. The su ffe rin g and disturbance experienced b y w om en each m on th in the fo rm o f cram ps, nausea, v o m itin g , etc. can be greatly m itig a te d th ro u g h a fo rm o f horm one therapy, nam ely, the P ill.

W h ile I'm a ll fo r saving m oney, the exclusion o f the P ill from a M edicare Plan w o u ld represent a cruel and inhum ane fo rm o f d is c rim in a tio n against wom en.

Should w e n o t also exclude any o ther fo rm o f m edication req u ire d by an in d iv id u a l on a re g u la r basis, in the interest of saving m oney, i f this is to be the case? W o u ld we n o t thereby u n d e rm in e the v e ry fo u n d a tio n u p o n w h ich w elfare in s titu ­ tions such as M edicare are based?

It is alw ays possible, o f course, that 1am m istaken. Perhaps m enstruation too, is a fo rm o f p u n ishm e n t fro m w h ich wom en are m eant, a nd s h o u ld resign themselves to suffer.

Susan Vivian U3 Political Science

As a new student to M cG ill, I have fo u n d the M c G ill Student H andbook, p ro v id e d free by the SSMU, to have been h e lp fu l. I note, fo r instance, 18 pages lis tin g va rio u s clubs and causes on campus.

I also note, how ever, that one cause, nam ely G A L O M and "same sex lo v e ", w a rra n ts n ine pages to itself.

O n a p lu ra lis t cam pus such as M c G ill, it is o f course fu lly a p p ro p ria te that G A L O M 's causes be included, b u t surely SSM U does n o t have to be so b la tan tly "p o litic a lly correct." A re n o t other causes, such as Friends o f First N ations, Access M c G ill, and so fo rth , just as deserving o f space as G A L O M a nd "same sex lo ve"?

O n a p lu ra lis t campus, the answer is o f course yes, b u t I suspect that G A ­ L O M 's cause receives so m uch m ore attention in the handbook because the num erous other causes on cam pus are not c u rre n tly as p o litic a lly correct. There are lots o f deserving organizations o u t there, so let's have some balance in the fu tu re .

Our VP Internal Speaks Dear Editor, Last week a student b ro u g h t it to m y attention that the RCMP and the Cana­ d ian A rm e d Forces were a tte nd in g Career D a y on September 18. Both o f these organizations have d istinct policies against the h irin g o f homosexuals.

The organizers o f Career D ay were unaw are o f these policies w hen they were approached b y the RCM P and the CAF. Nonetheless, the Students' Society has a re sp o n sib ility to prevent organizations w ith hom ophobic, sexist o r racist policies from p a rtic ip a tin g in o u r activities.

1 appreciate the concerns o f this student and w ill use them as a benchm ark to develop a p o licy so that this docs not happen in the future.

Gay subculture missing moral fibre Dear Editor, It was som ew hat o f a surprise to see A lla n T ait's pro-hom osexual e d ito ria l in the T rib u n e ( September 17th) b u t I im agine the D a ily does not have a m o n o p o ly on p o litic a l subversion. The argum ents w h ich T ait advances are far fro m com pelling, especially i f one considers th e ir im plications.

M r. T ait explains that as a m arginalized group, homosexuals are perfectly ju s tifie d in engaging in polemics, no m atter h o w extrem e these polem ics m ig h t be. In this apology, M r. T ait is in fact excusing any possible in fa m y on the pa rt o f gay activists in advance. O n the other hand, he dismisses even the m ildest ethical objections as "m u d -s lin g in g ".

M r. T ait's central assum ption seems to be that the presence o f a gay sub­ cu ltu re is its o w n justifica tio n , no m atter w hat the tra d itio n a l beliefs o f a society m ay be. A cco rd in g to this logic, o r lack thereof, the fact that there are unabashed serial k ille rs m ust m ean that th e y are also justified.

1 w o u ld re m in d M r. T ait that in this society there are s till m ore people w ho believe in G od than there are atheists, and w o u ld in v ite h im to lo o k u p Leviticu s 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, and I C o rinth ia n s 6:9. But even aside fro m the religious issue, m ost people d o n o t approve o f hom osexuality.

H ow ever, m ost are ready to tolerate it. In that, they are easily being in d u lg e n t enough already.

SSMU Overlords vs. the Commoners Dear Editor, The o n ly incentive fo r a prole ta ria n student to attend an SSMU council m eeting is fo r the free food. As a C om m on M an (sorry, C om m on Person) o f the U n iv e rs ity (in the A rts fa c u lty no less), I'm hard pressed to understand w h a t ex­ a ctly is g o in g on d u rin g these meetings.

But free coffee and dou gh n u ts force m y hand. Despite m y ignorance, 1am in attendance, and a witness to the p o litic a l in fra stru ctu re I pay so d a rly for. 1m ay n o t k n o w w h a t is g o ing on, but at least I'm there, c h o w in g d o w n free o f charge, and n o t engaged in street crim e o r vig ilan tism .

In short, SSMU is pro te ctin g the p u b lic by g e ttin g the Com m on Person o ff the streets and in to the C ouncil room .

A com pletely separate issue, that w ill eve n tu a lly lin k to the firs t, concerns the D aily. The D a ily is n o w being charged $14,000 a year by the SSMU fo r space in the U n io n B u ild in g . N o w that's a lo t o f dough. 11 w o u ld be nuts not to p u t the m oney to good use...

N o w here's w h a t irk s me, and w here the separate issues come together: SSMU has decided to cancel a ll free fo o d and d rin k at a ll fu tu re council meetings.

If C o u n cil is n o w $13,999 riche r than last year (the D a ily 's o ld ren t was a lo o n ie a year), h o w come SSMU can't a ffo rd a fe w m easly d o u gh n u ts fo r the C om m on Person?

Im agine, i f you w ill, m y u to p ia n vision, o f the entire $14,000 usurped from the D a ily being spent on a fu ll b uffet. The A lle y c o u ld be d iv id e d in tw o , one p a rt fo r the cou n cil m eeting, and a free b u ffe t in the back.

A n yo n e w ith a v a ild student ID can enter, have a free m eal, and w atch the student governm ent in action. The A lle y could cu ltivate an upscale im age as the m ission fo r students, those w h o have no place to go on a T hu rsd a y n ig h t, and tu rn to th e ir generous benefactor, the SSMU, fo r a square meal, a h o t d rin k , and the scin tilla tin g spectacle o f th e ir elected representatives in action.

I k n o w it's a crazy idea. But the C om m on Person is h u n g ry . A n d on a com m on level, fo o d is one o f the m ost im p o rta n t necessities o f existence. That, and n u d ity .

Minding its own business

S S M U c o u n c illo r s m u s t s t a n d u p fo r a c c o u n t a b i l i t y The Don M cGerrigle saga continues at th is T hursday's Council m eeting, w hen Stu­ d en ts' Society President Scott Mitic reveals the details su r­ ro u n d in g last w in ter's firing of th e form er SSMU Execu­ tive Director, C am pus m edia, and you, for th at m atter, will be prev en ted from hearing w h y o u r em ployee w as fired, how ever, as the m eeting is expected to go into closed session at th at time.

The SSMU E xecutive's ar­ bitrary refusal to share inform ation w ith the m em bers o f its society is irresponsiblcand leads one to w onder if som e­ thing is b eing covered up.

P resident Mitic told the Tribune that if his com m ents toCouncil concerning McGerrigle'sdism issal w ere printed in the press, M cGerrigle might have reason to sue for slan­ der, if M ibc's com m ents m ay c o n s titu te s la n d e r , th e n M cGerrigle him self should have the right to b e a t the m eeting to h ear w hat the President h as to say an d then take a n y ap p ro p riate legal action.

Slander, th e false verbal defam ation of a person, is a serious charge. M cG erriglc's lackof contention im plies that th e reasons for his dism issal w ere valid. As long as Presi­ d e n t M itic has com m ents re g ard in g M cGerrigle w hich are "provably true," then there should not be anything slanderous to w orry about.

Mitic h as no right to exer­

cise such absolute privilege at the expense of his society's m em bers. Unless, of course, M cGerrigle w as fired by SSM U for an unjust reason.-.

If President M itic feels What h e has to say is so contentious th at h e cannot share it w ith all the m em bers (nam ely, us) w ho em ployed the individual in­ volved, then w ha t right does he have to only tell a council that was not even p ré sen tât the ti me of the firing last w inter? W hy is the line arbitrarily d ra w n here?

If M cG errigle co m m itted som ething serious enough to justify a firing, then m em bers of the society- who trusted the SSMU Executive to hire him in the first place-havea fundam en­ tal right to kn o w w hat h e d id.

As for M cGerrigle, h e should responsibly accept disclosure as the consequence of a possibly unsatisfactory perform ance.

By not releasing inform ation to the m em bers of their society P resident Mitic an d his Execu­ tives will not only set a b ad precedent. They will also lose a perfect oppo rtu n ity to prove they are open and accessible to théir 15,(XX)consti t uents. Block­ ing the details of the McCerrigle case will have a negative im pact on an already apathetic student society. W hy should students care o r participate if their represen ta ti ves act in su ch an elite m anner?

Furtherm ore, if th ed etailsare not m ade public, the credibility of the position,despite the nam e change to General M anager and a redefined jobdescription, Will

be u n d erm in ed in the future.

Indeed, one w ould h av e to p ity the person chosen to assum e these d uties. W hy should the m ainstream stu­ d e n t p u t tru st in that person, in light of how untouchable a n d seem ingly u n account­ able M cG errigle has been?

C ouncil is at its m ost vul­ nerable right now , given the early tim e of y ear and the relative inexperience m any councillors p ossess at this level o f stu d e n t politics.

1lopcfully, C ouncil will real­ ize this on T hursday evening w hen P resident Mitic asks them to vote for a closed ses­ sion. Q ui te sim ply, i t is w rong for the Executive to take a d ­ vantage of these conditions to p rev en t councillors from divu lg in g the "M cC errigle facts" to their respective con­ stituents,.

C learly it is u p to the rest of C ouncil to enable Mitic toget the w hole story out once and for all. C ouncil m u st dem o n ­ strate strong political cour­ ag e a n d vote against a closed session for the M cGerrigle case w hen it com es upT htirsd ay evening.

C ouncillors w ould then be credited for setting a prece­ d ent by am eliorating thebasic flow of im p o rtan t inform a­ tion betw een it, the Execu­ tive, a n d the stu d en t body, a n d increasing faith in the political m echanics of a m ore responsible stu d en t governm ent. ♦R ich L atour

In m y last colum n, I arg u ed that the SSMU should address the Q uébec-C anada situation because of its educational dim ensions. At the sam e time, how ever, the SSMU should begin to look at the non-educational issues on w hich it has policies, a n d ask itself a fu n ­ dam ental question - in these cases, w h y sh ould the SSMU be taking a stan d at all?

In the p ast y ear alone, C ouncil d ev o ted a consider­ able am o u n t of tim e an d en­ ergy to a discussion of the Persian G ulf W ar, w ith the ultim ate aim of delineating a "stu d en t" position.

As well, the SSMU has a policy w hich w as ap p roved

by C ouncil in 1985 expressing its com plete o pposition to a p a rth eid . As a result, the Southern Africa C om m ittee of C ouncil w as created, w hich devotes itself exclusively to this issue.

D o n 't g et m e w rong. There is no question th at these is­ su e s a re im p o rta n t. B ut should the SSMU define offi­ cial policies on them ?

W here sh ould w e d ra w the line? A re there not other c a u s e s w h ic h m e rit th e SSM U's backing? W hy not have SSMU policies on Jam es Bay II, the sad state of C an­ a d a 's Atlantic fisheries, or the closing of shelters for the hom eless in M ontréal?

If an ything, the SSMU is being arbitrary by not ad d in g these causes to their "a p ­ p rov ed " list.

It is difficult at tim es to distin g u ish betw een ed u ca­ tional an d the non-educational causes. H ow ever, it is a distinction w hich m u st be m ade. The future strength and credibility of the SSMU d e­ pen d on it m aintaining its fo­ cus.

S tudent politicians are not elected by their constituents to m ake pro n o u n cem en ts on C anadian foreign, or d o m es­ tic policy u n less it affects o u r univ ersity ed u catio n an d the tim e w e sp en d at school. N o r could the student governm ent ever ho p e to rep resen t the diversity of political opinions th at the stu d en t b o d y holds.

W hile it falls o u tsid e the m an d ate of the SSMU to set policies, it is definitely the SSM U's role to p ro m o te so­ cial aw areness, w hich is a very different goal. The S tu d en ts' Society can sp o n so r such ev en ts directly, like AIDS A w areness W eek, o r fund clubs w hich h ave the sam e aim .

Follow ing this strategy, the Southern Africa C om m ittee should be converted from a C ouncil com m ittee into a club ( " c a m p u s - w id e in te r e s t g ro u p ", in the parlance of the SSMU). Let stu dents w ho care a b o u t th e issue im m erse them selves in it, politically in­ d ep e n d en t of Council. q

They are often unable to ac­ tively partici­ p a te in th e c o m m u n ity , bu t they live in e v e ry n e ig h b o u r­ hood, m any of them isolated b e c a u s e of loneliness and poverty.

S ta tis tic s C an ad a esti­ m ates that in Q uébec 9.5% of m en over 65 an d 15.2%of w om en over 65 live below th e p o v e rty level. It is esti­ m ated that 7% of Q u e b e c 's seniors subsist on less than $2500 a year.

Isolation is possibly the larg­ est problem facing the innercity elderly. Since m any senior citizens are im m obilized be­ cause of physical ailm ents, and m any are on their ow n, they can easily lose touch w ith the com m unity.

The Yellow D oor's Elderly Project is one g ro u p that helps to create a link betw een the yo u th of d o w n to w n M ontreal (prim arily McGill students) and the elderly w ho share the com ­ m unity. T hrough w eekly vis­ its, phone calls, and assistance w ith activities such as shop­ ping, the Project helps betw een 75-120 senior citizens keep in touch w ith the com m unity.

"A lot of the people w e serve are do in g alright. T hey've got a lot of their physical needs m et by o th er services, b u t w hat w e 're try in g to deal w ith is the em otional side of it. W e try to pro v id e social contact," ex­ plained M ichael A dam s, direc­ tor of the Project.

"T here's a lot to be gained on both sides. It is incredible to sec

the influence that one person can have on an o th er perso n 's life. You can m ake a perso n 's day," A dam s added.

A lthough this problem has existed for a long time, only in the last few years has it received adequate m edia attention.

In M arch 1990, w hen the d e ­ partm ent established a hotline for se n io rs su ffe rin g from abuse, over 400 calls w ere re­ ceived in the first four weeks.

"For every call th ere's at least ten cases that go u n rep o rted ," said Victor R odriguez, director of Sun Y outh's senior program .

R odriguez attrib u tes the rise in crim e against seniors to the d ru g trad e and a disintegration in cross-generational relation­ ships.

BY TRIBU N E STAFF C onfidentiality is essential to the McGill N ightline service.

The student-run listening and referral hotline will not reveal its location o r the nam es of its volunteers.

"C onfidentiality is the basis of the N ightline, to lose that w ould be to lose the service," explained Jen, a N ightline co­ o rd in ato r w ho could not d is­ close h e r last nam e. " F u rth e rm o re , an o n y m ity serves as a buffer zone for the people w ho w ork for us," she ad ded.

Talking to a stranger about a crisis situ a tio n m ay m ake

people feel m ore com fortable.

"W e fill p eo p le's need to talk to a stranger, one w ho has been tau g h t to listen, n o t to judge or express subjective em otions.

Everybody needs to feel at some tim e that w ho they are and w hat they are saying is the m ost im p o rtan t thing," noted Jen. N ightline also acts as an in­ form ation and referral service.

A lth o u g h v o lu n te e r s go through an intensive tw entyseven h o u r training program , they are not trained counsel­ lors. V olunteers keep inform ed w ith encyclopedias, dictionar­ ies, special lectures and infor­ m ation from M ontréal referral centres.

"I learned a lot ab o u t being a g o o d listener," explained Lisa, a form er N ightliner ."N ightline encourages its volunteers to hold their opinions. W e act as a so u n d in g board. It h as really helped m e in dealin g w ith m y friends."

V olunteers are tau g h t to fo­ cus on the caller, not the p ro b ­ lem. If the caller w an ts to con­ tinue, N ightline will explore the options.

"People call in to talk ab out an y a n d ev ery th in g . Som e nights every caller n eed s the nu m b er for a pizza place," said Jen. "O ther nights there are serious crises." □

Statistics show that one out of three women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime.

Many McGill groups maintain that a great deal of action can be taken to combat this problem.

Services have been setup to pro­ vide medical and emotional support for victims of sexual assault. Other groups focus on increasing aw areness and at­ tem pting to understand the so­ cietal roots of sexual assault.

Lynne Brash, a Solin Hall floor coordinator, is trying to organize a w om en's self-defence work­ shop at McGill. She wants the program to be set up for women, by women.

"Having confidence in your ability to protect yourself is very empowering. Though self-de­ fence classes aren't going to solve the problem of sexual assault, they will give wom en a sense of control over their own bodies. If the w orkshops are taught by wom en, it will be easier for the students to identify with or envi­

sion themselves as the ones with power," explained Brash.

The Walk-Safe Netw ork is a student-run organization that was created to provide escorts for those walking home at night from the MacLennan Library.

Walk-Safe also concentrates on changing the attitudes that have m ade their Netw ork necessary.

"W e'renotjusta service. W e're committed toem pow erm entand comm unity change. We really w ant to build up a sense of com­ m unity between women," said Kelly G allagher-M acK ay, a spokesperson for the Network.

The Network is planning a Cam pus Safety Audit. There is a long list of places at McGill that are unsafe, and the Network is lobbying the Adm inistration to make improving these areas a priority.

The Walk-Safe Network is also working on a project in collabo­ ration with the Coalition Against Sexual Assault, which involves extending escorting services to weekend nights. The groups hope to raise enough money to purchase a vehicle, either by

A 1989 Statistics Canada sur­ vey revealed that 4.5 million Canadians have difficulty read­ ing or cannot read at all.

Two years ago, McGill stu­ dents, recognizing the im por­ tance of literacy, opened the McGill Literacy Council. The council is the only studentfounded and student-run liter­ acy program in Canada.

"Literacy is a social justice is­ sue, it is not just about reading but about em pow erm ent," said Alysha Trinca, co-president of the McGill Literacy Council.

In a literate environm ent such as Canada, those who are unable to read cannot contribute effec­ tively or participate fully in soci­ ety.

"Literacy m eans productiv­ ity," noted Stephanie Garrow, Trinca's co-president at the McGill Literacy Council.

Social stigma further compli­ cates the problem of illiteracy.

Only about 2% of functionally illiterate people come forward for help.

"M any non-literate people have low self-esteem and feel em barassed. They w o u ld n 't w ant their friends or families to know about their lack of [read­ ing and writing] skills," ex­ plained Garrow.

Economics is a determ ining factor in the groups affected by illiteracy. In Canada, it is the m iddle-aged, Francophones, women, those w ithout a high school education, and people living in economically depressed

"L ite ra c y is a s o c ia l ju s tic e issue, it is n o t ju s t a b o u t re a d in g b u t a b o u t e m p o w e rm e n t, " A lysha T rin ca, c o -p re s id e n t o f th e M c G ill L ite ra c y C o u n c il Eastern Canada who are most affected.

A 1987 Southam Report found that non-literate people have annual incomes 44% lower than those of literate people.

Illiteracy affects job perform ­ ance and in turn costs Canada 10 billion dollars per year. A study done by the Business Task Force on Literacy dem onstrated that illiteracy leads to increased acci-

dents, lost productivity, lowe: product quality,slower work anc increased unem ploym ent.

Stephanie Miller, student-tu tor coordinator for the Literacy Council explained, "Illiteracy is a larger issue than just reading m ore quickly and efficiently Non-literate people m ust realize that the world is their oyster." (

FORUM

BY BRENT PRESTO N

W ith an air of cautious opti­ m ism , W alter Sisulu, D eputyP resident of the A frican N a­ tional C ongress (ANC), and A lbertina Sisulu, P resident of the Federation of South Afri­ can W om en, greeted a large crow d at C oncordia on Sun­ d ay

BY KATE GIBBS of one m an than by an org an ­ ized conspiracy of students.

This is not "soternity bash­ ing", although such a public display of disregard for p ro p ­ erty defeats the p u rp o se of the group'sexistence. The footprints w ere aim ed at leading potential m em bers to the d o o r of w hat can only be labelled as an an ti­ social club.

O n top o f the 225 footprints on cam pus, scuff marks have been pai nted to cover the tracks, so to speak, a nd all o f th e pieces from the statue h a ve b een col­ lected. Both the dam age on cam pus and o n foot is repa­ rable, but that isb e sid e the point.

N either situation sh ou ld have arisen.

There are far m ore p ro d u c­ tive m eans of self-prom otion.

N either a classic sta tue nor pave­ m ent are proper vehicles for m indless self-gratification.

E ighty y ear old W alter Sisulu, w ho w as jailed for 26 years for his opposition to ap a rth eid , focused on the problem of tow nship violence an d m isconceptions in the w estern m edia. H e explained that the violence is not sim ply a m atter of the ANC against the Inkatha Freedom Party, as it has often been perceived.

"Violence is fundam entally caused b y the su p p o rt of the governm ent. It will only be elim inated w hen a p arth eid is destroyed," he explained.

Sisulu w as refering to the recent 'Inkathagate' scandal, in w hich the w hite govern­ m ent adm ited to secretly fund­ ing the A N C 's m ain political rival, Inkatha.

This secret funding is the continuation of a historical trend to prom ote so-called tribal identities and hostilities in an effort to prev en t a united black front.

Sisulu explained th at the re­ peal of m ost ap arth eid law s has h ad little im pact on black South Africans. The m ain goal

of such reform s h as been to ease international p ressure. Sisulu urged C anadians an d the inter­ national com m unity to continue vigilance an d not to stop sanc­ tions against South Africa.

W hile W alter Sisulu w as re­ freshingly factual in his descrip­ tion of the presen t situation, Mrs. A lbertina Sisulu ap p ealed to the obvious em otion of the capacity audience.

O p e n in g h er speech w ith, "G reetings from the oppressed w om en of South Africa", Mrs. Sisulu described the w retched conditions that m others and their childern live u n d e r in the to w n ­ ships.

A ppeari ng on the verge of tears at several times, she em phasized the devastating effects of the m ost recent violence An estim ated 10,000 blacks have d ied in vio­ lent attacks.

M rs. Sisulu o u tlined the vir­ tual collapse of the black educa­ tional system . C hronic underfunding, lack of facilities and w idesp read violence have con­ tributed to large num bers of black children w ho are o u t of school.

She expressed a fear that this situation will have serious long­ term effects.

"A ny co u n try th at d o esn 't have an ed u cated y o u th -th at is w hat the South African g overn­ m ent is aim ing at-w ill not have leaders in the future," she said.

Both W alter a n d A lbertina Sisulu placed the blam e for fac­ tional violence securely on the Inkatha Freedom Party. M rs.

Sisulu also used the w o rd s Z u lu and Inkatha interchangeably.

This ethnic anim osity is u n d e r­ standable after years of agres­ sive governm ental tactics aim ed at u n d erm in in g black u n ity b u t it is also d istu rb in g com ing from a leader of an organization d ed i­ cated to freeing all of South Af­ rica's people.

The Sisulus obviously long for a chance to exercise real p o w er to induce change as issues of tow nship violence can not be overcom e w hile ap arth eid is in place. As A lbertina Sisulu ex­ pressed, "W e have hope, k now ­ ing that at least o u r freedom is not far off." □

e n te rta in m e n t Nouvelle Forms at the International Festival de Danse

BY K IM RYGIEL

For the next two weeks, Montréal is host to the w orld's largest gala of contem porary dance. The fourth Festival Inter­ national de Nouvelle Danse celebrates the m ost innovative and explosive trends in m od­ ern movement, showcasing 30 unique dance companies from seven different countries.

Dance in the 80's and 90's is no longer just tutus and tights.

It is now referred to as "dance theatre" or "physical dance."

This m edium is multi-disci­ plinary, incorporating theatre, music, and the visual arts. The festival was created with the hopes that the prom otion of Nouvelle Dance m ight appeal to a larger and more diverse audience.

"If you d o n 't know anything about dance then this is the year to attend- the shows are more spectacular, the sets, costumes and music are strong- they are catchy shows," said Chantal Pontbriand, the director and founder of the Festival Interna­ tional de Nouvelle Danse.

"You've never seen anything like this before in your life. The most exci ting thing about dance today is the creativity."

The criteria upon which groups are selected to partici­ pate in the festival is original­ ity, quality and the impact they have had on the dance world.

The expected popular draw is La La La H u m an Steps. This group, which recently per­ formed for Da vid Bo wie, is back from its European tour. La La La will dance the N orth Ameri­ can prem iere of "Destroy", m erging cinema, rock, dance and sport, with costum es rem i­ niscent of wild sci-fi warriors.

The most risqué display is by the a c claim ed S p a n ish c h o re o g ra p h e r A ngels M a rg a rit, who dances her own "Hotel Solo"in an actual hotel room. This fifteen m inute set explores the intim ate things one does behind the closed doors of a rented suite. Perform ancesarescheduled for the Ramada Renaissance on Park.

Really.

For music lovers, the Japa­ nese com pany K aras, w ith choreographer Saburo Teshigawara, combines jazz w ith the "Dah-dah-sko-dah-dah" dance.

Those who thrive on endurance, frantic speed, or visual feasts, w ill devour B elgian choreographer Ja n F a b re 's "Sweet Temptations".

This four hour performance by fifteen characters includes over three hundred costumes.

The players throw themselves across stage, bom barding a pair of philosophizing, dejected twins in wheelchairs.

If all this seems too outra­ geous, there is the American g ro u p E l i z a b e th S tre b R in g sid e whose athletic dance embodies the idea of sports competition. Other highlights recom m ended for the novice viewer are the adored French group E m ile D u b o is, return­ ing for the third time, and the c h o re o g ra p h e r D e K e e rsm aeker, with the Belgian group R osas, perform ing the theatri­ cal "Stella".

In addition to dance perform­ ances, other events include meetings with choreographers, conferences or 'round-table' w orkshops which discuss the relationship of dance to music and the visual arts, held at the Place des Arts and Agora de la Danse (at the Université du Québec à M ontréal ).

The Jam: KRS-One & Shabba Ranks . The last track on Shabba's new album , this song has been long awaited. A com­ bination of KRS-ONE's hard­ hitting positive lyrics combine with Shabba's fast-paced "chat" to create this soon-to-be club classic. As KRS himself said: "O ther DJ's specialize in plas­ tic. Boogie Down Productions specializes in classics."

Afro Connection at Hi Five: De La Soul This is a track off De La Soul's new est album , De La Soul is Dead. Produced by Rap legend Prince Paul of Stetsasonic fame, the entire album is a m aster­ piece of production, combin­ ing great samples from m any hip hop and funk classics with creative beats and lyrics. Afro Connection is perhaps one of the better tracks on the album, urging black artists not to sell out and to "mind their roots & culture."

Supercat has hit it big with this remix, which sounds unbeliev­ able on a club's sound system.

For the serious m odern dancer, there's Les Ateliers de Danse M oderne (372 St Catherine W). In the m orn­ ings, you can join the students of the professional school in either their elem entary or in te rm e d ia te te c h n iq u e classes. The school also offers excellent training classes in the evenings that are given by some of the city's most prom inent dancers.

The great thing about Mon­ tréal studios, is that alm ostall the classes are accompanied by live musicians. All studios m entioned above are located relatively close to McGill and offer quite reasonable rates.

You can either pay by class, or save money by regestering for the semester.

In m ost classes, the teach­ ers speak both French and English, b ut it is possible on occasion to run into an allFrench situation. One last piece of advice: d o n 't worry about the classes being too fast for you, just cut a rug. □

Cyclical Reviews are another w a y in which stu­ dents can help improve the quality of a McGill educa­ tion. Every academ ic unit must undergo a system ic review by a com mittee every five years. T h e objectives of these reviews are the improvement of program s, the establishment of priorities, and the allocation of re­ sources. O n e student representative w ho is not from the department that is being reviewed is entitled to a position on every committee

said this season's top scorer Liz Stamp.

McGill's next opponent was a gritty Laurentian team While field hockey is a non-contact sport, Lauren­ tian has made a science of incidental contact.

"Regardless of the score they're always fighting and hustling," offered Stamp.

This season, however, McGill is more willing to get physical and it has paid off. Liz Stamp got the hat trick and goalie Fasoldt, once again kept the mo­ mentum going McGill's way, in a convincing 3-1 win.

Accord ing to Coach Phillipi, the depth of the team is definitely a plus. Many of the players are looking for­ ward to playing on turf.They see it as a chance to play a higher calibre of hockey.

"It's great to know that any player we put in will do the job.," Phillipi noted.

"We're getting the chances, but we have to capitalize." □
