Representatives from Lesbi­ ans Bisexuals and Gays of McGill (LBGM) and The McGill Women's Union attended last Thursday's meeting of the Management Undergraduate's Society (MUS) to discuss the scandal surrounding the Octo­ ber issue of MUS' Commerce Communique, which contained homphobic and sexist mate­ rial.

LBGM President Charles Weijer condemned MUS Presi­ dent Phil Johnson for allow­ ing the Communique, to be printed, and called for his res­ ignation.

"If [Johnson is] unable to supervise the machinery of the MUS, he should resign,"said Weijer. "He has gone out of his way to offend at least one half of the student population at McGill."

Mindy T essler, Management Representative to Students' So­ ciety (SSM U ), defended Johnson.

"It is not feasible for Philip Johnson to resign," Tessier told the Management Council. "He is not responsible. He did not write the material. Therefore,

he is not liable for it."

While Johnson has no plans to resign, he did recognize the serious nature of the issue.

"We did not deliberately try to hurt people. We did not mean to be homophobic or sexist or racist. We were insensitive and we are sorry. We do not have a specific policy against this be­ cause [this] has never happened before."

Representatives of both the Women's Union and LBGM re­ mained unmollified. In a letter to the McGill Daily of October 23, members of the Women's Union demanded of the MUS a full and public apology to the McGill community, the imple­ mentation of a policy to ensure that offensive materia] does not reappear, and some form of concrete amelioration.

Women's Union representa­ tive Suzanne Stein outlined these demands, suggesting donations to battered women's shelters or rape crisis centres as compensation.

The editors of the Commerce Communique, Brad McDonald, Susan Rubin and Yalmaz Siddiqui, were not present at the meeting but they had issued letters of apology to LBGM and

p h o to by M a rk Cohen

Groups unsatisfied with Management apology

the Women's Union that Stein found insufficient.

"It is just lip-service and we are not satisfied," said Stein.

Tessier, who later apologi2 ;ed to SSMU on behalf of manage­ ment, further admitted,"many of the people in this faculty are ignorant and did not know [l he Communique] would be offen­ sive."

A unanimous vote was taken requiring MUS to comply with the three demands levelled by LBGM and the Women's Un­ ion. In addition, the entire MUS Executive intends to sign a new letter of apology to be published in the Tribune and the Daily, and distribu ted among campus groups.

Weijer seemed satisfied with

the outcome of the meeting, but felt the MUS reaction was more politically than ideologically motivated.

"It's good to see them trying to make amends. It's just too bad it had to happen in the first place. I don't think they really understand the problems that women and homosexuals are up against in society."

Breaking the anti-gay argument yet again D e a r Editor,

No, Mr. MacLellan, you are incorrect. (September 24-30,1991) Ordinarily I would find your assertations so appallingly ill-thought out as dignifying no response but in this case I will respond in order to illustrate the real issues in the press with regards to hate propaganda.

I assume your argument runs as follows. Homosexual acts are conceivably immoral if one believes that sexual activity should be reserved for the purpose of procreation. I say I assume because though unstated, this is the only argument which does not rest in simple fear and prejudice.

First we must question the definition of sexual activity. What precisely is a sexual act? Here are the alternatives. One: pleasurable physical actions which demonstrate affection. Two: pleasurable physical actions which result in orgasm. Three: actions pleasurable or not which could result in pro­ creation.

If, Mr. MacLellan, you accept the first, I hope you are prepared to include kissing or hand holding.

If you will permit these as questionably moral actions then you must believe that physical pleasure in itself is immoral, except in the process of procreation.

If so, then I don't envy you in your search for a mate.

If you take the second tack, then you must believe that orgasm is so different from other forms of pleasure that it deserves its own particular morality. There is, as far as I can tell, no physiological or rational justification for such a distinction.

This is simple prudery, and I would ask you, have you never masturbated, and even if you thought it wrong, should you be persecuted for it?

Finally, if you take the last definition, then it is apparent that homosexuals do not engage in sexual activity and therefore don't fall under your moral theory.

And there it is, Mr. MacLellan. If to experience physical pleasure is a sin then ten tenths of the population are sinners. Your singling out of homosexuals is so objectionable because it forms the basis for the hatred, harassment, and denial of opportunity that a sinner like yourself will never lace.

As for the printing of Mr. MacLellan's letter: the Tribune must have some standards. It is extremely doubtful that letters suggesting that a woman's proper place is in the kitchen, or that people of colour are genetically inferior would be printed. Mr. MacLellan's letter is no less objectionable, and by printing it the Tribune lent it an institutional legitimacy it does not deserve.

D a v id G ru b e r

Letters to the Editor, continued unfortunate trio have eschewed the standard currency of rebuke among mature professionals- the private stricture, in favour of a weird form of intra-departmental lynching: a motion passed by the department on October 11th requiring them to retract state­ ments made earlier to the Daily. Why any professor in any depart­ ment of any university should have to seek his or her colleague's blessing before making even the most savagely denunciative critique of his or her own faculty is a mystery to me. Presuming that the critique in question does not contain language or conno­ tations which are obscene, sexist, racist or homophobic, upon what cardboard pulpit do his colleagues dare rise and invoke the department's procedural rigamarole against him? Fenichel cor­ rectly condemned the meeting in question as sending out a "chill­ ing message" with regard to the department's attitude on free speech. Indeed, free speech is the larger topic at issue here.

There was a day when free speech was taken for granted on university campuses. No more. As anyone who follows North American campus politics knows, the inalienable rights of stu­ dents and faculty members have been gradually chipped away by a moral minority whose attack on free speech hasbeen couched in a bullet-proof sheath of politically "correct" dogma. Where are the liberal campus watchdogs who, just ten years ago, would have stared down the economics department and their afront to the fundamental idea of free speech? Also no more. Free speech on campus got blind-sided by a noisy moral minority crusading against things like sexism in language and the use of 'forbidden' words. Thedepartment of economics seems to have hopped on for the ride. They would subordinate free speech to the stature of their department. Pitifully, such undemocratic thinking is becoming commonplace.

Jonathan K a y U 3 E n g in e e rin g

More breaking the argument D e a r Editor,

To Jason MacLellan: let's be generous about your logic and have a look at your presuppositions.fSeptember 24-30, 1991) You are convinced that homosexuality is "sinful." You are clearly pre­ pared, however, to advocate the tolerance of groups which you do not deem immoral, for you identify "Bible-believing Christians" like yourself as members of a particular group within a larger social framework: people who, like homosexuals, could be toler­ ated or otherwise. I imagine that you would be in favour of the tolerance of your own group.

How does one go about making judgements as to which groups should and should not be tolerated in a pluralistic society? Perhaps you make your decisions based on scriptural "evidence." I have several friends who are united church ministers. They feel that it is dangerous to interpret the scripture literally as it contains self-contradictory passages (as well as much that would benefit from historical contextualization). Another thing: the United Church ordains homosexuals. The United Church does not, in my opinion, promote a "facile" love gospel. Its members are engaged in a complex, rigorous, conscientious and caring dialogue with the surrounding community. Not all Christians share your views.

Perhaps your own beliefs do not allow you to ask pragmatic questions about why one would want to condemn a group of people. I understand, on the basis of common sense, why the toleration of serial killers would be problematic. Serial killers kill people. Homosexuals, on the other hand, live with, sleepwith, raise children with and love members of the same sex. I do not see any grounds for condemnation so far. I do not see any harm being done. Certainly no more harm than is being done by, say, Star Trek fans. Common sense is useful to those of us who have not em­ braced moral absolutism.

Joeilen Housego U 3 A rts

A case of mistaken identity D e a r Editor,

Thank you for the interesting look at "Dans la Rue" in this week's "Feature's" section. It was a shame however to find the founder and backbone of this organization, indeed the man in the cover photo of your issue, to be misnamed throughout the article.

Having met "Pops" on several occasions, his name is most cer­ tainly Father Emmett Johns and not father John Emmett, as was indicated. Surely a man who has given so much to the Montréal community deserves more credit than a misnomer.

Economics scandal found frightening D e a r Editor,

The Tribune article of October 22, "Retractions from Economics professors not forthcoming," was the first I had heard of what I now understand to be an extremely bizarre and unwarranted departmental censure of economics professors Fenichel, Rowley and Naylor. The colleagues of this

opinion 6? editorial Editorial: A cautionary tale Some of the most recent public outcry at our univer­ sity has arisen over the new budget overview, ratified by Council last Thursday. Many budgets, especially those of student clubs, were slashed mercilessly by the Joint Management Commitee, and many of these groups have raised their voices in protest.

The Folk Music Society, for instance, made an impas­ sioned ten-minute presenta­ tion to Council against the restriction of their funding by the Students' Society. The Folk Music Society made the point to Council that a reshuf­ fling of their budget made it impossible vfor them to con­ tinue to rent space at the Yellow Door coffee house.

Council's defense was that

space is available for free in the Union Building. The Folk Music Society made clear, however, that the rooms in the Union Building lack the ambience they desire, as well as such more concrete necessi­ ties as pianos and music stands.

The presentation was delivered to a largely deaf audience, or, at least, to one which had already made up its mind. From a financial point of view, it is ridiculous to rent what is already avail­ able for nothing. As far as Council is fiscally concerned, the Folk Music society can spend its entire budget on music stands and have all three pianos moved to what­ ever room they choose in the Union. They may not, how­ ever, pay to rent space when

they can get it for free.

Fiscally, this makes sense.

From an emotional point of view, however, it raises problems, at least for the Folk Music Society, and brings up a larger issue.

This year's budget cuts are not part of some large plan to do away with student clubs.

The fact is that student organizations have been getting basically whatever they asked for over the past three years because the SSM U was financially mismanaged.

People still complain about the kiosk and the irresponsi­ bility of the SSMU, and by paring down the budget, this year's Executive is attempting to rectify . its dire financial situation.

When I came here in 1988,

the SSMU had half a million dollars in the bank. Their account currently rests somewhere around $100 000.

In the preceding year, the Students' Society has been dealt a couple of heavy blows- student fees to the society have been cut by six dollars, and the PGSS no longer pays fees to the SSMU. Such idiotic 1990 expenses as the info kiosk and the chicken suit have not helped this year's executive either.

If this year's executive spends as extravagantly as have past committees, the SSMU will cease to exist, and they know it. The University would most likely take it into trusteeship, and then we would learn the meaning of the term "budget-slashing."

Thus, while the cutting of funds to groups is painful, it is a protectionist measure.

Last year, when the rest of the country was cowering under the recession, the SSMU joined Ontario's NDP govern­ ment in reaching bold new plateaus of spending. To make up for past mistakes, all student clubs will have to do some belt-tightening this year.

It would be wonderful if every group could have all the money it wanted, but that can't happen this year. The SSMU isn't attempting to destroy student clubs at McGill, but it does intend to make clear that if spending goes outside of realistic limits, student clubs may very well do themselves in.

A L L A N T A IT

The Maclean s poll Much like a Montréal Expos homestand, the controversial Maclean's "A Measure of Ex­ cellence" issue went through town with nary a whisper.

Only at McGill would news as inspiring as that presented in the recent Maclean's issue that ranked Canadian univer­ sities be treated so sheepishly.

In typical McGill fashion, stu­ dents reacted rather apatheti­ cally to the school's number one ranking. Perhaps this was due to the fact there were no politi­ cally correct categories in the rankings to infuriate the reac­ tive McGill populace. In fact, most students found the poll to be a joke. "McGill number one?

You've got to be kidding?" was a common response heard around campus if you heard one at all.

Y et the magazine was all over McGill. There was a picture of the beautiful lower campus, the ubiquitous cheerleaders, the Martlet rugby team, and Prin­ cipal Johnston (who we discov­ ered believes in ghosts). Still not enough. .

Elsewhere in the country there were several complaints that the categories used to rank the schools were unfair and did not properly address what makes a quality school. Here are a few more that Maclean's probably should have used in their rankings.

School with the highest debt: McGill first, of course.

School with most expensive

inform ation kiosk: McGill wins here Pigeon-student ratio: McGill wins here, too.

While the rankings created little emotion, if any, here at McGill, it did set some fires ablaze at other universities in Canada. Carleton, for one, was extremely ticked off, and rightly so. They should have at least been in the top 34 as opposed to their 44th position. The issue dominated the media in Ottawa and the Maclean's publication was apparently lifted from the shelves.

At the University of Water­ loo (also known as Track Pant U.), the student council presi­ dent was vehement in his anger at the issue which ranked the school #22. He said it failed to recognize Waterloo's top notch co-op programme.

I don't know what the feeling was at Western but I imagine the students probably went crying into the sleeves of their polo shirts because of their 16th place ranking. There were no points awarded for the number of BMW's on campus or the amount of of gel used in hair. It was the worst of the Old Four schools. Looks good on them though, don't you think?

Guelph emerged as the cat that swallowed the canary, sneaking in with an 8th place ranking in spite of polling 24th in the president's ranking. Not bad for Moo U. No matter what you thought

of the rankings they did serve in an educational capacity. I mean, 1 didn't even know Can­ ada had 46 universities includ­ ing one called Sainte-Anne (located in Pointe-de-l'Eglise, N.S.).

And on an unrelated topic, I'm sure a voung woman out at Acadia University in Wolfeville, N.S., had more attention recently. Regular readers of Maclean's will know the mag always features an attractive woman on their "People" page.

Keeping with this rather taste­ less tradition, page 52 features the requisite beauty queen.

The publicity McGill received from this poll on universities was worth millions. But judg­ ing by the non-reaction here, most students agree with John Diefenbaker on the use of polls: they're for dogs.

In an article published in The McGill Tribune, issue dated October 1-7, 1991, reference was made to the circumstances surrounding the transfer of Mr. D on M cG errigle from his position of Executive Director of the SSMU to his current position in the Department of Athletics.

The University wishes to clarify an impression made as to the competence of Mr. McGerrigle. More specifically, Mr. McGerrigle’s record with McGill University is unblemished and in no way casts any aspersions on his abilities and his previous performance at McGill.

« Dancing with the Hallowe'en goblins in Montréal

BY A N D R E W C A R SW E LL Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, the Great Pumpkin becomes decreasingly relevant to students entering their post-secondary years.

The w h ole notion o f getting dressed up to collect sugary treats from strangers is dismissed as a waste o f tim e and money. H allow e'en, h ow ­ ever, should not be understood as a mere financial liability. It should be seen as a fantastic excuse to celebrate pagan rituals without getting ar­ rested. H ere are a fe w ideas for m id­ fall celebrations.

The largest and possibly most pretentious H allow e'en get-together hasbeen organized by the Shed Café, and w ill take place on Saturday, N ovem b er 2nd at a warehouse on 87 Prince Street in O ld Montréal. The management expects 1000 or more guests to show up to see a list o f bands including local new-age act Sotho. The three best-costumed people w ill be awarded trips to a choice o f six European cities. The presence o f Boris Yeltsin, Clarence

Thomas, and the remainder o f the O lym pic Stadium, is anticipated.

Tickets go for S20 at Shed, 3515 StLaurent.

For those more inclined to watch kinky men dressed in lingerie, as they indulge in sex, dance, and can­ nibalism to the beat o f rock music, then Leacock 132 and the Cinema de Paris are your places to be on this H allow 's Eve. The Rocky Horror P ic­ ture Show w ill be screened at 5:00, 9:30 and midnight at the Paris, with prizes given out at the late show for best related costume (costs $3.75/ student). The Film Society's Leacock show is at 7:30, and costs $3.50 for non-members.

Can't kick that old trick-or-treat habit? There is a safe alternative to w ea vin g aim lessly through the frightening streetsofMontréal.CJ A D and the McGill Education U nder­ graduate Society (EdUS) are organ­ izing a "safe" H allow e'en at the Forum this Thursday, This consists o f a pretend neighbourhood that guarantees not only sanctuary, but candy at every address. The doors

w ill be open from 11 am to 8 pm, and there w ill be live performances given throughout the day. EdUS is cur­ rently recruiting volunteers for this project. Call 398-7048 for more infor­ mation.

Another good location for H al­ low e'en pleasure is a place w here they cele­ brate H allow e'en all year, Les Foufounes E lé c triq u e s . T h e ir party features Shad­ o w y M en On A Shad­ o w y Planet, and a cast o f regulars w ho might be mistaken for paid apparitions. A d m is­ sion is $7 at the door, and w ill include an as­ sortment o f costume prizes.

Probably the most appropriate location for entertainment on October 31st happens tob eb ook ed u n tilju ly 1992. Bleury Street's La Maison Hauntée, is

a decrepit, boarded-up and seem­ in gly condemned house with agreen ghoul plopped on the roof. It is with­ out a doubt the most innovative concept restaurant in Montréal. O ver a fiv e hour span, visitors are met by various beasts from Transylvania,

Planet Xenon, and M ulroney's cabi­ net, as they munch on chicken served by the waitress from hell.

Reserve now at 878-3999, and pur­ gatory can be yours next summer for only $32.10 per person. □

Double double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble B Y A N D R E A C U R T IS H allow e'en is traditionally a time for eating too much candy, pulling pranks and dressing in beastly and frightening costumes. For Wiccans how ever, October 31st marks the beginning o f Samhaim, a four day celebration o f the pagan new year.

It is a time, the Wiccans say, when the "veils are ve ry thin" between this and the w orld o f the spirits. Witches w ill em erge from their everyday lives to "celebrate friendship and love with the spirits o f deceased friends," ex­ plained Dale, the ow n er o f Le M agasin du Wicca and a practitioner o f the craft.

Wicca is an earth and fertility re­ ligion, and the people w ho practise it have little in com m on with the stere­ otypical ideas o f witches w ho fly on broomsticks, have w arty noses and cast evil spells. N either are they w o r­ shippers o f Satan.

"Satan is a construction o f Christi­ anity. Wiccans don't think in those concepts," emphasized Serge Lebel, a Wiccan, and the ow ner o f M éta­ morphoses book store.

"T h e sense o f worship and festiv­ ity in Wiccan celebrations is purely pagan. You could certainly never find the same with devil worshippers," he continued.

Wiccans celebrate the cycles o f nature and human dependence on them, but stress w orkin g w ith na­ ture and not trying to rule it.

"W e worship nature because in ancient times people truly depended on it, for everything. Wiccans are people trying to go back to this d e­ pendence. When you do this, you see things a bit differen tly," ex­ plained Marysa Lebel, a practitioner o f the craft.

Wiccans em phasize the im por­ tance o f balance and harm ony o f opposites in personality, in their deities and in their magic.

"P eop le need the light and the dark, the good and the bad. The moment one goes out o f balance, there w ill be a deform ity o f charac­ ter," explained Marysa Lebel. She em phasized the m isguided efforts o f some feminist groups that draw on ly on the legacy o f the goddess.

"It is a w om an's religion just as it is a man's. It can't be any better to on ly worship a woman. W e need the balance. W e worship the pow er of fertility and creation and that is not masculine or fem inine," she noted.

This politicization o f Wicca for fem in ist and en viro n m en ta list

causes, Dale claimed, is throw ing off the balance in a religion where male and female deities are equally repre­ sented and each pow er is meant to counterbalance the other.

The magic practised by Wiccans also stems from the notions o f bal­ ance in nature.

"M a gic maintains the proper bal­ ance o f energy between humans and gods. It is a created art, as well as a science," said Serge Lebel.

Dale noted , "you personalize the spells by adding or taking a way from

Wicca has remained m ostly un­ derground although according to Serge Lebel, in the United States, it has become more centrally organ­ ized. Montréalers how ever, m aybe surprised, as Dale explained.

'T h ere are a lot more pagans in this city than people realize."

B Y K A T E G IB B S "Passion", the first full-length ballet from the mercurial A m eri­ can dance com pany M om ix, takes its name and score from Peter Gabriel's com position o f the same title, familiar as the music from Scorcese's The Last Temptation of Christ. N ot throngs o f picketing grannies, but a capacity crowd packed Place des Arts to experi­ ence the w orld premiere o f "Pas­ sion" by Moses Pendleton and his su pra-Soloflexed co m pan y on October 23.

The intoxicating combination of athletic dance, b od y sculpture, and illusionism for which M om ix is renowned did not fail to mesmer­ ize, although the premise was somewhat confusing. Given theorigins o f the score, the title suggests the Sufferings o f Christ on the Cross. The 21 movem ents are en­ hanced with depictions o f Buddhist temples, Artie ice floes, sunflowers and Rose w indow s. Projected onto an impossibly transparent screen, these images suggest a N e w A g e-y "all religions are basically the sam e" message.

confusing relationship. The reedy quality present in Gabriel's syn­ thesized soundtrackcomplements the erotica o f the natural images and half-naked bodies on stage.

The singular quality which unites these images is their ability to w ith­ stand the cyclical passage o f time although the 75 minute piece feels far too short.

Despite the fact that all five members list post-secondary edu­ cation before their dance experi­ ence, M om ix is not necesarilÿ the thinking person's company. One case in point is its signature style; the "M o-m ixin g" o f limbs to the point where the view er can no longer decipher the number or gender o f participants in the re­ sulting forms. Particularly m em o­ rable is the creation o f a pair o f centaurs w ho break the traditional dance/sound barrier as the heads mouth synthesized wails.

Those who once considered "A re You Experienced ; the Jimi H en­ drix Ballet" to be the "be-all" o f modern dance, m ay find the ab­ sence o f retro-references in "Pas­ sion" exhilarating. The dancers are bent so lo w that their "m oon w alk "

T w o things should make this an interesting show. The Rialto is a

A pleasant chat with the Monks o f D oom

BY A LLA N TAIT Funny old thing, life. A band is a consistent college draw, goes on a European tour for a while, and the next thing you know, it splinters into a million different directions.

Cam per Van Beethoven was a constant critical favourite and was riding out the w ave o f success that its final Virgin release, Key Lime Pie, garnered, when the unit selfdestructed . Singer/guitarist David L ow ery apparently lives some­ w here in N e w England now, dairy farming. N o-one has seen violinist M organ Fichter. A n d bassist/ singer Victor Krummenacher , along with guitarists Greg Lisher and David Immergluck, as w ell as drummer Chris Pedersen, have put out three albums and tour as the

Monks o f Doom. The Tribune caught up with the Monks on tour supporting Meridian, their latest release on Baited Breath records.

Tribune: What's your musical his­ tory?

done all sorts o f things-1 played in Camper Van Beethoven for seven years, I played on four albums with Doctor Eugene Chadbourne, I've done session work, and I have a band called Monks o f Doom which started in 1986 as a side project o f Cam per Van Beethoven. That's prim arily what w e do now, since Camper Van Beethoven broke up in A p ril ofl990, in Sundsvall, Sweden.

Tribune: W hat were the circum ­ stances o f the break-up?

V.K.: W ell, I'v e never been m ar­ ried, but people tell m e it was somewhat like that. It was just personality problems w e had. W e tried to make the marriage w ork but ultim ately it didn't. A t a point, if you 're in volved in something and you put a lot into it and you 're still really not seeing anything getting better- the on ly thing that ever got better was the m oney, and I was never hom e enough to enjoy it- after a point I wanted to spend some tim e aw ay from the context o f the band and it came to a head before w e even had a chance to talk aboutthat. It just kind ofblew apart.

Tribune: What's the social situ­ ation like within the Monks of Doom?

V.K.: W ell, n ow w e don't have as many tensions between us. W e have less money, but w e enjoy what

G IA N T

w e do. Things are good.

Tribune: Was the Monks of Doom something that just happened between the four of you,or did you create it yourself?

V.K .:W ell, if you 're a musician you 're kind o f like a junkie- you have to do it for personal sake. It becomes a thing that it's hard to escape from. If you live this w ay for a long time you don't want to g iv e it up. W e had had this as a side project, and w e had pretty good personal relationships, so that was the option to pursue.

Tribune: What's the difference, musically, between the Monks of Doom and Camper Van Beethoven?

V.K.: Cam per was really folkrooted in a lot o f ways- it was just a lighter band. This is rooted in a heavier thing, more or less. I would not say it's a heavier band, but the music's louder.

Tribune: Where is that comingfrom as far as you are concerned?

V.K.: I grew up in Los Angeles. I went to high school in 1979, 1980,and that was the era o f X and Black Flag, and that was the kind of music I cut my teeth on, as well as the prominent punk bands from England; the Clash, the Jam.

Tribune: And yet, that's not what the Monks of Doom is at all.

V.K .: N o - it's really an amalga­ mation. 1 think the sign o f a good band is when you 're w illin g to bring in your personal influences and then stand back and let other personal influences kind o f mold and shape what you do. I mean, I could go out and start a band like the Jesus Lizard tom orrow, and I would know very much what I wanted to do and how to do it, but for me I think that w ould be con­ trived. W e share a lot o f influences, and then other people put d iffer­ ent influences into it, and when you m old all o f those things to­ gether, you get something yet again different.

Tribune: Is this close to what you want? When you think of your music, is this what you think of?

V.K.: For me personally, not entirely, but for the band, yeah, I'm really happy with it. As a band entity, it's really unique. W e don't sound like anybody else. W e don't play like anybody else. I'm not w illin g to take this band and point it in a particular direction because it's the trend o f the moment. I'm looking for long-term viability. Q

sports Football wraps up regular season with ugly loss

BY M IC H A E L A. K O F F M A N

Three weeks ago, the Con­ cordia Stingers breezed to an easy 28-16 victory over the McGill Redmen at the Shrine Bowl. This Saturday's rematch atMolsonStadiumshouldhave meant payback time for the Redmen, but instead they found themselves deeper in debt to their crosstown rivals, 23-12, at the 23rd Annual Shaugnessy Cup game.

Though both teams had clinched playoff spots before this game took place, McGill still had something to prove.

The Redmen were unable, at any point throughout the sea­ son, to defeat Concordia, Bishop's, or Queen's, the three other teams which were vying for the Ontario-Québec Inter­ collegiate Football Conference title.

Missed opportunities and bad penalties were the story on Saturday. Neither quarterback François Gauvin nor Justin Raymond were sharp against

the Stingers. Gauvin threw for interceptions on two consecu­ tive possessions. These were costly turnovers; the first re­ sulted in a Stinger field goal, the second in a touchdown.

McGill was never able to mount any kind of strong of­ fensive threat, accounting for only one fieldgoal and two single points on the afternoon.

The remaining points were supplied by defensive back Doug Naudie, courtesy of an errantRon Aboud pass that was intercepted and returned for a major on the second play of the game.

The Redmen were unable to capitalize on the opportunities which presented themselves.

The most blatant blunder oc­ curred in the first quarter with McGill already leading 7-0.

Steve Papp, the well-condensed offensive dynamo, sprinted the length of the field for an appar­ ent 14-point lead and an easy afternoon. A penalty, however, had been called behind the play, which nullified the touchdown CENTK C

"We made bad penalties at bad times. We didn't sh ow good poise."

"It w o u ld have been a real high to have been 3-3-1, but we didn't put it away when we had the chance," said Papp. "It hurt us a bit, but w e'll have to bounce back."

Metabolic maintenance B Y J U L IE M I T C H E L L

Diet and exercise are often the prescribed 'medication' for in­ dividuals uncomfortable with their physical appearance.

Though attention to diet and regular exercise are positive steps toward physical well being, it is a misconception that a temporary reduction in ca­ loric intake and the occasional sporting of sweats at the local gym, will show significant body-altering results.

Success rates of body-shap­ ing rituals are highly depen­ dant on human metabolism. An efficient Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) ensures that calories are being converted into energy to be expended instead of fat to be stored.

"Metabolism is the body's pacing mechanism which de­ termines the rate in which calo­ ries are used," explained Shirley

Brathwaite, a graduate of McGill's physical education program and fitness instructor at a local heath club. "Many factors characterize individu­ alized BMR, including, age, height, weigh t, sex, fi tness level, percentage of lean muscle and percentage of fat within the body".

Although many of the factors which determine BMR are bio­ logically inherited, certain con­ tributing factors, such as an in­ dividual's fitness level and the percentages of lean muscle in relation to fat ,can be manipu­ lated to change BM R, According to Brathwaite, frequent exercise improves the metabolism by forcing thebody to expend more energy. Calo­ ries are used for energy when doing anything aerobic (danc­ ing, biking, walking, running, etc.) for at least 20 minutes, working at 60 to 80 per cent of the body's maximun heart

rate.For individuals aged 2025, this is 25-30 beats per 10 seconds.

Regular exercise leads to a greater percentage of lean muscle mass. This improves BMR .

"Muscle uses more energy when at rest than does fat, thus the better one's overall fitness level, the more efficiently calo­ ries are expended," said Brathwaite.

Diet is also capable of chang­ ing BMR, but the results are quite surprising.

"Dieting is the practice of reducingfoodintakewhichhas a beginning and an end, the anticipated result being, a re­ duction in body fat," said Bra­ thwaite. "The sporadic starv­ ing of the human body only leads to a slowing down of BMR, triggered by the body's attempt to save calories in case you dare try to deprive it again." q
