N e w s Recent Sexual Assaults Pose Threat to Student Safety

BY JANE WHITE AND CHRIS KALBFLEISCH A larm in g in cid en ts in the M cG ill area ind icate that sexu al assault co n tin u es to be o f vital c o n c e r n f o r s t u d e n t s an d M ontrealers alike.

T hree w e e k s ago near S te F am ille and M ilton Streets, a w o m a n w a s s e x u a h y assaulted by a m an arm ed w ith a k nife.

T he attacker w a s d escrib ed as black, around 5' 8" w ith a husky build.

M o n tr e a l U rban C o m ­ m u n ity [M U C ] p o lic e o ffic er M ich el Frechette b e lie v e s that another m an, described as w hite w ith a tan, 2 8 to 3 4 -y e a rs-o ld , and E n glish sp ea k in g , c o m ­ m itted three other assaults in the Dr. P en field area. In on e o f th ese in cid en ts, the m an ca m e from beh in d , grabbing h is f e ­ m a le v ictim and stab b in g her 3 or 4 tim es in the fa ce w ith h is

k nife.

T w o o f the assau lts o c ­ curred at ap p roxim ately 8 p.m .

The o th e r a tta c k , n ea r S herbrooke and du M u see, o c ­ curred at 4 p.m . as a 28-yearold w om an returned h om e from work.

“W om en have to be aware at all tim e s,” w arned M aryM argaret Jon es, co -co o rd in a ­ tor o f the M cG ill S ex u a l A s ­ sault C enter (M S A C ). “ A v o id interchan ges, dark p la ces and the m o u n ta in [M o n t-R o y a l] w h ich has b een rife w ith sex u a l assaults. D o n ’t j o g alon e on the m ou n tain .”

O pened in 1 9 9 1 , M S A C is the o n ly u n iv ersity centre o f its kind in C anada. L ast year it reported 13 sex u a l assaults.

A c c o r d in g to a re cen t M U C P o lice report, sex u a l a s­ saults are on the rise. In 1991, 1 ,4 6 4 sex u a l assau lts w ere re­ ported in the M ontreal area, a

10.7 percent increase form the p reviou s year. F igu res in the report reveal that O ctob er and N o v e m b e r w e r e th e p e a k m onths for sex u a l assault.

T he M c G ill com m u n ity and its student gh etto are situ ­ ated in so m e o f the h ig h est crim e areas o f the city . A s the ghetto con tin u es to push east past St.L aurent, students are m o v in g in to an area that rated seco n d h ig h est for sex u a l a s­ saults reported in 19 9 1 . “ S e x u a l a ssa u lt is an y form o f unw anted sex u a l c o n ­ ta c t,” sa id D e b b ie T ren t, a c o u n s e llo r at th e M o n tr ea l S exu al A ssa u lt C entre. “T he le v e l o f v io le n c e can determ ine the seriou sn ess o f the assau lt.”

Trent also added that the term ‘ra p e’ w a s taken out o f the crim inal co d e several years ago in order not to m in im ize sex u a l assaults w h ere n o p en ­ etration occurs.

“ P eop le can react d iffer­ en tly w h en th ey are assau lted ,” T rent elab orated. “ S o m e o n e w h o h as b een in v o lv e d in forced m asturbastion m ay be as p s y c h o lo g ic a lly u p set as so m e o n e w h o w as fu lly pen ­ etrated.”

John K o u sic, director o f operations o f the E ast R egion o f M U C P o lice, has been co o r­ din atin g a year-old com puter d o ssie r on sexu al a ggression s in the h om e that n o w w ill in ­ clu d e stranger assaults. “ T he m ore inform ation w e h ave the better,” insisted K o u sic. “M any v ictim s are shy and are afraid to co m e for­ w ard.”

If so m e o n e is sex u a lly as­ saulted, K ou sic su g g ests that th ey report the in cid en t im m e­ d iately to the p o lic e w h o w ill take th em to the hospital. D e ­ tectiv es can b egin their in v e sti­ gation into the assault fo llo w ­

in g the hospital exam in ation .

“If w e h ave any particle fro m th e b o d y ,” e x p la in e d K o u sik , “ w e can d o a D N A an alysis and link it to any su s­ pects that co m e in .”

A lth ou gh p o lic e h ave e x ­ p an d ed th eir o p era tio n s for d ea lin g w ith sex u a l assau lts, p r e v e n tio n is s till th e b e st m eans for M cG ill students to avoid attacks. T he W a lk -S a fe N e tw o r k ’s [W S N ] exp an ded F o o t Patrol is a v ia b le option for p eo p le w a lk in g h o m e from cam pus late at night. “ F ion a D eller [W S N c o ­ ordinator] has put togeth er an incred ib le program ,” em p h a­ sized Jon es, w h o fe e ls the F oot P atrol is a w e ll-r e s e a r c h e d project that offers a g o o d safety serv ice for stu d en ts. “ It’s go o d to se e the M c G ill com m u n ity co m in g togeth er.”

O ne o f S S M U P resident Jason P rin ce’s cam paign m an ­ d ates, the a ssem b ly w as in ­ tended to in crea se student par­ ticip ation and input in S S M U p o licy -m a k in g .

B ut Prince w as m et w ith great con cern by co u n cillo r s at last w e e k ’s co u n cil m eetin g , w h ich d ela y ed approval o f e x ­ ec u tiv e d e c isio n s by co u n cil regarding the a ssem b ly until its n ex t m eetin g , on S ep tem b er 24th .

“T here is a lot o f c o n fu ­ s io n ,” exp la in ed V P E xternal J e ff P ercival .“C o u n cillo rs ju st g o t the d ocu m en t [ou tlin in g the p rop osal]a fe w d ays a g o .”

T he d o cu m en ts p rop ose to set up a series o f S ep tem ber w orksh op s d esig n ed to create m o tio n s for th e a ssem b ly . If quorum [at least 2 0 0 students, o f w h ich o n ly 1 0 0 students per fa cu lty w ill be co n sid ered in total] is reached at the a sse m ­ b ly , an y m o tio n s p assed w ill be

b in d ing for the S S M U .

“T h e thing that scares so m e co u n cillo r s is that m o ­ tion s p assed w ith quorum are b in d ing on the S S M U for on e year and co u n cil can n ot touch th em ,” said P ercival.

A r ts C o u n c i ll o r J o n A b lett exp lained his hesistation w ith P rin ce’s proposal.

“T o P rince, d isc u ssio n is ev ery th in g and I h ave n o prob­ le m w ith that,” h e exp lain ed . “ B ut this [the G eneral A s s e m ­ bly] is n ot the w a y to do it. T he a ssem b ly can be stack ed .”

S o m e c o u n c illo r s are con cern ed that issu e s selected for the w ork sh op s g o beyond the practical co n cern s o f the student body.

“A re th ese really student is s u e s ? ” q u e s tio n e d A b lett.

“I ’m not sure h o w w is e it is for S S M U to g et in v o lv e d in abor­ tion [d eb ate].”

O thers w ere w ary o f the p otential results o f d iv isiv e d e­ bates at an A sse m b ly . “ I think th ese issu e s w ill p olarize the student b o d y ,” said C lu b s C o u n c i ll o r P a tr ic k Perreault. “I d o n ’t think th ese are areas w e n ece ssa rily have to fo c u s on. I ’d rather spend tim e fo c u ssin g on student is ­ s u e s.”

In th e past, student refer­ endum s h a v e addressed s p e ­ c ific issu e s such as tuition fe es. E ven P ercival, w h o as V P E x te r n a l is a m e m b e r o f P rin ce’s e x e cu tiv e co m m ittee, in sists that it is not the co n cep t o f a G eneral A sse m b ly w h ich is trou b lesom e, but the priori­ ties it sets for S S M U , w h ich m ay not be realistic.

“W e [ S S M U ] respond w e ll to d efin ed student is s u e s ,” said P erciv a l.“ Iju st d o n ’t want the S S M U spreading its e lf too thin. T o adopt p o lic ie s that w e d o n ’t h a v e th e r e s o u r c e s fo r ...I’m not sure that’s really sm art.”

A b ud get w a s allocated for the p rop osal, a fact w h ich has so m e co u n cillo rs w orried that the plan is already in o p ­ eration. B ut V P F in ance Susan N ick erson in sists the b udget is s im p ly a m a tter o f S S M U p o licy .

“W e h ave to b udget for any u n e x p e cte d e v e n ts, and b ecau se the G eneral A ssem b ly is a p o ssib ility , w e had to b u d g e t fo r i t , ” e x p la in e d N ick erson . “T he m o st im por: tant asp ect o f this plan is that it d ep en d ed u p on c o u n c il ap ­ proval.”

M e d Loans Chopped by Quebec Government This year the Quebec governm ent has introduced an ew student loans policy which has already adversely affected M cGill medical students.

VP Internal (senior) Véronique Phan o f the McGill M edical School Students’ Association said that the new policy reduced the number o f months (from 14 to 12) that students are eligible for loans.

“It m eans that students w ho did 9 0 credits undergrad don ’t have a loan in fourth year,” explained Phan.

In M cGill M edicine, between 16 and 20 students are affected by the cuts. H owever, the restrictions have had a greater effect at other Quebec universities, in­ cluding U niversité de Sherbrooke, Université Laval and Université de Montréal.

Athletics Department looking for $ 3 0 ,0 0 0 The Royal Bank o f Canada has lost track o f many M c G ill s tu d e n ts ’ intram u ral r e g istr a tio n payments deposited last spring. An estimated $30,000 is not acounted for.

The bank has contacted several students to con­ firm that their $ 40 registration fee cheques have been processed.

“If they do receive a phone call from the bank,” explained Rob Watt, Administrative Services C o­

ordinator for M cGill Athletics, “they should go to the bank and follow whatever procedures are given.”

The situation will have no adverse financial effects on M cGill Athletics as the deposit was cleared before the bank had any know ledge o f the situation.

M cGill Recycling Expands to Better Serve Campus This year M cG ill’s recycling program has been expanded. Having taken over the campus recycling pro­ gram from the W aste Management Com m ittee on July 1st, Building Services now extends the program to most o f the campus. Although W aste M anagement had been collecting all paper left for recycling, they had limited access to several campus buildings.

With campus custodians and supervisors now in­ volved in the program, all sixty-tw o buildings on the McGill Campuscan be served. “Soon w e ’re hoping to hit every office withrecycling,” said Building Services Man­ ager Carmen Spataro. “W e’re now looking at putting boxes in officesto separate paper from garbage."

Since July,five tons o f paper have been collected per Week with increasesexpected this fall. Since approxi­ mately 80% o f M cG ill’sgarbage is paper, Spataro hopes that increased papeicollection w ill lower waste removal costs in the future.

Building Services will collect office paper, en ve­ lopes, newspaper,m agazines and phone books. Card­ board may be addedin the future.

“But they d on ’t collect wet paper,” observed Stu­

dents’ Society VP External Jeff Percival. “So if you blow your nose, don’t throw it in.”

VP Affairs trying to take building where no one [alive] has go n e before Last March’s referendum provided Students’ S o­ ciety VP University Affairs Monique Shebbeare with a mandate to lobby the McGill administration to officially change the name o f the Union Building to the W illiam Shatner University Centre.

Although Shebbeare made a formal request to the Board o f Governors’ Toponom y Committee this sum­ mer, she suggested at Thursday’s council m eeting that progress was slow .

“W e don ’t actually know yet whether or not it [the name] will be changed,” Shebbeare told the Tribune.

Friday.

Shebbeare had recently spoken to M cGill Secre­ tary-General David Bourke, and she related what she perceived to be the U niversity’s hesitations in the matter.

“There is a concern that it would be difficult to name a building after som eone who is not dead,” suggested Shebbeare.

Most buildings on campus named after individuals were done so posthumously. N onetheless, Shebbeare said that she will use the mandate given to her by students in pursuing the name change.

“You know... the will o f the people and all that stuff...” she explained.

The McGill Tribune, S e p te m b e r 15-21,1992

Lawyer/activist speaks out about status of women in India.

BY MAX DODD Kirti Singh is a law yer and w o m e n ’s rights activist from N ew D elhi, India. Last W ed n es­ day she sp ok e at M cG ill on “V iolen ce A gainst W om en in India.”

In her presentation, Singh discussed such issu es as the in ­ c r e a s e in v i o l e n c e a g a in s t w om en, progress that has been m ade, and how the existin g law s m ust be reformed.

Tribune: H ow did you first get involved w ith the w o m e n ’s m ovem ent?

K .S .: In 1970, when I was 17, I enrolled in a progressive c o lle g e that w as particularly concerned with w o m en ’s issues.

I b eca m e in terested in h o w w om en w ere treated. In 1979, after I becam e a law yer, I joined a w o m e n ’s group in D elhi. W e took on several cases dealing w ith v io len ce against wom en: dow ry problem s, dom estic v io ­ len ce, rape, m olestation and so on. Then I helped start up a legal cell for w om en, challenging dis­ crim inatory law s.

Tribune: What is the sta­ tus o f the w om en ’s m ovem en t in India?

K .S .: It’s really spread in the last tw elve years. T he latest phase began b ecause in 1975 a com m ittee w as set up on the Status o f W om en in India. It cam e out with very dramatic sta­ tistics on the condition o f w om en

and form s o f d iscrim in ation against them. N ow , there are all sorts o f w o m e n ’s groups in In­ dia w h ich fig h t, u n ited , for w o m e n ’s rights.

Tribune: W hat kind o f is­ su e s has the m o v e m en t ad ­ dressed?

K .S .: There have been m a­ jor struggles to change dowry and rape law s, to set up a N a­ tional C om m ission for W om en, to bring in effective suttee law s and to restrict am niocentesis.

[Suttee is the practice o f a w idow burning h erself to death on her h u s b a n d ’s fu n eral p y re]. A D o w ry P ro h ib ition A ct w as passed in 1961. N o w , anything given to a girl before, after, or during marriage is her property alone. If her husband or his rela­ tives dem and m ore dow ry, it am ounts to a [criminal] offen ce, w ith am inim um sentence o f five years.

Tribune: W hy is there so m uch em phasis on the dowry law?

K .S .: A dowry is given to a w om an in lieu o f a right-ofproperty at the tim e o f her mar­ riage. But w ith the w h ole system o f arranged m arriages, the prob­ lem has b ecom e acute. W om en are so m e tim e s h arassed and murdered i f what they have d oes not su ffice. A ccording to the Indian Express, there w ere 4 2 7 'dow ry d eaths’ in 1983. Last year, that num ber was 4 ,856.

Crim es against w om en are ac­

celerating at an am azing speed; and these are on ly the reported cases.

Tribune: W hy the focus on am niocentesis?

K .S .: P eo p le started to abort girls on ce they discovered the sex o f the fetus. N o w a bill ensures that the fetus w ill be tested only in the nam e o f health, and the sex w ill not be revealed.

Tribune: D o w om en have a strong role in governm ent?

K .S .: T h e r e are s o m e w om en fighting hard for more [political] representation, and a few w om en in situations o f great power. But on the w hole, it’s pathetic.

Tribune: D o e s religion play a part in any o f this?

K .S .: W ith fundam ental­ ism on the rise, som e o f our established rights are being taken away. M uslim w om en, for e x ­ am ple, have no right to “m ainte­ nance” (alim ony) in the event o f a divorce. W hen the Suprem e Court o f India cam e out with its initial ju d gem en t say in g that M uslim w om en should receive three m onths o f alim ony, funda­ m entalists protested, saying it was against the Koran. But what in fact [politicians] w ere trying to do is w hip up a sort o f reaction in their support for their ow n political ends. T hey needed a

political base w ith the M uslim com m unity; so they changed the law.

Tribune: In your v iew , what are the m ain differences betw een the status o f w om en in India and in North America?

K .S.: North A m erica too has its share o f dom estic v io ­ le n c e . B ut w h en an Indian w om an says she is raped, the man has to prove that she co n ­ sented. T here’s also less overt sex ism in the w ork p lace. A w om an has m any fu n ction s: mother, daughter, friend. Her primary role is not that o f sexual object.

The good, the well-balanced, the healthy

BY SEF THORGEIRSSOIN P izza, fries, hamburgers, and b e e r — these food s are usu­ ally the m ainstays o f the student diet. But what about a balanced diet? W hat exactly are the four food groups? H ow can a v e g ­ etarian maintain a healthy diet?

E liz a b e th M cM ah on at M cG ill H ealth S ervices finds that these are the m ost com m on nutritional questions asked by students.

“M any students are unsure o f what a w ell balanced diet is, and h ow it w ill fit into their budgets and m eal p lans,” said M cM ahon. “It is possible to have a healthy and in exp en sive diet.

It just takes m ore planning.”

She directs students to the F o o d G u id e d istr ib u te d b y H ealth and W elfare Canada. It su ggests the fo llo w in g daily al­ lo w a n ces for a balanced diet: tw o servings o f protein, four or fiv e servings o f fruits and v e g ­ etables, three to fiv e servings o f breads and cereals, and three servin gs o f m ilk products.

Another suggestion from Health and W elfare Canada is to keep variety, m oderation and balance in mind w hen m aking food ch o ices. It m ay be danger­ ous to eat too m any servings from only one o f the food groups.

M cM ahon stated. “E xcess in any area o f nutrition is not good. For instance, I w ould on ly recom m end ‘carbohydrate

load in g’ for those w ith an e x ­ trem ely h ig h a c tiv ity le v e l.

Sticking to the gu id elin es set out b y H ea lth and W elfa r e Canada is the easiest w ay to maintain a healthy d i e t .”

M c M a h o n c la im s that vegetarian students face sp ecific dietary ch allen ges. “It is very important to realize that a v e g ­ etarian diet is not sim ply the haphazard replacem ent o f m eat protein,” she stated.

“A vegetarian needs to re­ place m eat protein w ith various com binations o f legu m es and se e d s, n uts, gra in s, or m ilk products. But I w ould caution anyone w ho wants to pursue a vegetarian diet to read up on it before they b eg in ,” sh e su g ­

gested.

O verconsum ption o f ca f­ f e in e is a n o th e r p r o b le m M cM ah on en cou n ters in the students she sees.

“I understand that students cannot al w ays get as m uch sleep as they w ou ld lik e, but on e should not take caffein e p ills,” she warned. “For the m ost part, the p ills w ill leave one incapa­ ble o f functioning because o f overstim ulation.”

“S econ d ly, those w ho are concerned w ith stress should a v o id c a f f e in e , b e c a u s e it stim ulates the adrenal glands w hich actually raise the b o d y ’s stress le v e l,” M cM ahon con ­ cluded.

M cM ahon also su ggests

that students keep a written record o f what (and w hen) they eat, so as to exam ine their diets more clo sely . T his “diet diary” should be m aintained for se v ­ eral w eek s in order to detect unhealthy eating patterns or a recurring d eficien cy in a cer­ tain food group.

“A food record is a good w ay to a n a ly z e you r d ie t,” M cM ahon said?’ It allow s you to com pare your intake w ith the d a ily re co m m en d e d a llo w ­ ances. M any p eop le d o not realize how irregularly they eat, and that they do not even com e clo se to Canada’s Food Guide.

From an accurate food record, you can see h ow you need to alter your d iet.”

“I think that Quebec cannot survive financially without the rest o f Canada. The French are thinking with their hearts and not their heads.

They should get over their differ­ ences and realize that even though they are different Culturally, they still share the same soil as the rest o f us. They are all Canadians, French or English, and multiculturalism is an advantage. Maybe the govern­ ment should get together and play drums in the park where the French and English accept each other and just play music. There’s a lesson to be learned there.”

Ah, the university years. Frequently referred to as the best years of your life.

And no doubt they could be, if it weren't for a few minor issues. Like the English paper that’s due by the end of the day. The lab report that’s due first thing in the morning. Not to mention the statistics model that’s already late.

To cope with the serious workload that stands between you and your social life, you are going to need som e serious help. **

Mondo Bizarre (Radioactive/M CA) Thirteen songs. Thirty-seven minutes. Yeah, it has to be the Ramones. T hey’re back, with a hard-driving collection o f songs your parents will hate. Starting with “Censorshit”, Joey R am one’s ode to Tipper Gore, Mondo Bizarre ram bles through twelve more typically energetic and frenetic tracks. It's a fairly typical Ramones album: lots of good intentions, lots o f great ideas but a little lacking in execution. The constant personnel changes in this band have made them a parody of the Ramones who produced “I W anna B e Sedated” and “Rock ‘n ’ Roll High School”. Still; a few songs are rem iniscent of the R am ones’ better days, including “The-Job That Ate M y Brain” and “Heidi is A H eadcase”, and “Poison H eart”, which is surprisingly pop-oriented. Also included is a startling cover o f the D oors’ ‘T a k e It As It Com es.” If you are a dedicated fan o f this band, Mondo Bizarre is worth owning, but if you are ju st starting out with the Ram ones, you m ight be better off

N irvana or Pearl Jam; its songs are much more free-form, sounding alm ost as though the album were recorded live, not in a sterile record­ ing studio. W ith the production assistance o f Butch Vig, who was also at the boards for N irvana’s Nevermind, Sonic Youth has pro­ duced a strong album, highlighted by “Swimsuit Issue” and “Sugar K ane”, which should help them break down the mainstream door that they knocked on two years ago.

second album led to the inevitable disappointm ent of her third album, 1990’s Days of Open Hand. For artists such as Vega, who depend so heavily on the quality o f their songs to carry them through, there is now here to hide when their creativity fails them. V ega’s last album proved this in an almost painful way.

Though 99.9 F is som ewhat o f an improvement, Vega still has a long way to go to win the same battle that other acoustic stars like Joni Mitchell,

Neil Young and B ob Dylan have fought before her. Eventually, acoustic dirges wear thin, and Vega really m ust raise her writing to a higher level to support w hat is a gifted voice with nothing to sing.

She has tried to flesh out the sound in this album, but there is no “Luka” for 1992 on this album, and the title track is so ridiculously silly it’s alm ost reason enough to no t buy this album. For dedicated fans only. * 1/2

If the road to critical acclaim is paved with good intentions then Norman Nawrocki is on the right road. He premiered his one-man show “I Don’tUnderstand Women.”

Saturday night at The Alley before

an

end

to

an audience made up almost en­ tirely of women. The series of com­ edy sketches, written and performed

by Nawrocki, was actually intended for a male audience, but despite “male-friendly” advertising the show drew few men.

Intended to get men thinking

s e x is m

about sexism, the show is the cul­ mination of multiple interviews he conducted over the last several months. Though women were wel­ come, Nawrocki pointed out,“they already know this stuff.”

But Nawrocki overextends himself. In 70 minutes, he portrays sixteen characters differentiated by voice changes and simple props.

Using comedy interspersed with serious scenes the characters griped, preached, and prattled about sex­ ism. Nawrocki portrayed so many characters in such a short period that transitions were jerky and the show lacked rhythm.

The show’s structure neces­ sitated the use of caricatures rather than complex characters. However Nawrocki states that his characters are drawn from real life and are possibly less caricature-like than many female audience members would like to believe.

“Guys came up to me after the show and said I’d gotten it ex­ actly. That’s how guys talk when women aren’t around.

Nawrocki has dealt exten­ sively with topical issues in his work with Rhythm Activism, a Montreal based trio which uses music and

comedy to explore social problems.

Nawrocki decided to do a show on his own, on the topic of sexism, as he feels that men are confused and struggling with who they are and their attitudes towards women, pit­ ting years of conditioning against new ideas.

In the post-performance discussion, Nawrocki told women to be quiet in order for the mens’ comments to be heard. As a result of lack of leadership, women’s subdued voice, and the heat and overcrowding in the Alley, the discussion, which brought in members of the McGill Sexual Assault Centre to answer questions, never really got off the ground. Nawrocki’s silencing of the women stemmed from an ear­ nest desire to hear what men were thinking. He claims that many men have heard this before from women . “[The silencing] was a mis­ take, and certainly men can benefit from womens’ reactions to the ideas in the show...It’s not often that men hear these stories coming out of the voice of another male.”

Unfortunately the voice of the performer was not always male.

When Nawrocki played Melanie recounting her rape experience there was a lack of credibility to the performance.

However, parts of the show work well as is. The language is crude and realistic and the “Clit Class” illuminated the problem of men and women’s differing sexual needs in humorous fashion.

In the experimental labora­ tory McGill men are reluctant guinea pigs and even taking the show to the frats as Nawrocki plans may force them to sit down but not necessarily to open up.

With refinements the project could be an entertaining and in­ formative piece. There was lots of female laughter to be heard Satur­ day night. With the massive media onslaught of sexist ideas, perpetuated especially by male stand-up comics there should be room for one show going in the other direction. Nawrocki states “People need to talk about this stuff, but how are you going to get that going?”

However Nawrocki is a real­ ist. “If even one guy talks to his buddy about it [sexism] then I’m satisfied.”

films and cult classics, with such recent box office hits as Wayne's World and Lethal Weapon 3.

While there has been some complaints from a few students that the MFS is “selling out”, incum­ bent MFS President Tatiana Glad is quick to defend the choice of the Society’s films for this year.

“Our intent is to show movies the students want to see, explained Glad. “Last year, when we showed The Commitments and Thelma and Louise, we had an incredible turn­ out. FDA was packed. We really only want to please students.”

But for those who won’t be satisfied with anything less than a Jim Jarmusch , they may still have a chance for salvation. The MFS strongly encourages student input.

“We are currently planning the second half of the semester and we’d like to hear what films the public would like to see be it avantgarde, foreign ormainstream.”commented Glad.

MFS has upcoming celebra­ tions to commemorate its 50th an­ niversary. On October 3, there will be a gala screening of Black Robe that is free to the public. Also, look out for “The F estival’, McGill’s first annual student film exhibition.

S p o r ts Q uestions about M c G ill’s q u a rte rb a c k Justin R aym ond fin ally an sw ered :

ZU K ERM A N

O T T A W A — The 116th year of intercollegiate foot­ ball at M cG ill got off to a resounding start Friday night when the Redmen, beset by injuries to key players, came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat the Ottawa Gee-Gees in a 25-21 thriller at Lansdowne Park.

Q u e stio n s had been asked about M c G ill’ s q u arte rb ackin g sin ce the graduation of pivot Bryan Fuller in 1988, especially in the wake of last w eek’s dis­ mal offensive display in the 24-3 exhibition loss against the Toronto Varsity Blues.

H o w e v e r, se n io r quarterback Justin Raymond finally answered some of the queries in this win over the Gee-Gees. The 6-foot-3,197pound native of Ottawa com­ pleted 17 of 32 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown. He also ran for a scoring major on a one-yard keeper play, and hooked up with veteran inside receiver Courtenay Shrimpton (three catches, 103 yards) for an exciting 59-yard scoring toss in the final quar­ ter.

“Justin finally rose to the occasion and played to his capabilities,” said a relieved a s sista n t co a ch Joe Marchildon. “ I expect both of our quarterbacks to be leaders this season — both on and off the field. There’s no question about it — our season w ill hinge on their performances.”

“But the biggest surprise in the game was H inchey,” he added.

D avid H inchey, a 20year old Arts freshman from Westmount, Que., gained 117 yards on 22 carries and scored the winning touchdown on a four-yard dive at 9:59 of the final quarter. The play, which erased Ottawa’s 21-19 lead, capped an impressive 86-yard, 10-play scoring drive that consumed some four minutes on the clock.

“The offensive line made things easy,” said a sheepish Hinchey. “They were open­ ing up holes all night.”

M c G ill’s rock solid 0line is one of the biggest in the country, tipping the scales at an average size of 6-foot-4 in height and 277 pounds in weight.

“A lot of coaches like to talk about the great defence needed to win a champion­ ship,” said Marchildon. “But you can’t win without a good offensive line and I think that w e’ve got one this year.”

But perhaps the biggest key to the victory was the s e c re c y co n c e rn in g the Redm en lineup posted by Redmen head coach Charlie B aillie, in his 21st season as head coach at M cG ill.

B aillie was able to pull the wool over the eyes of Ot­ tawa head coach Larry Ring, by hiding injuries to three key starters: senior receiver Steve Papp and linebackers Jason Greenlees and Ken Friedman.

Also, the Gee-Gees were ex­ pecting to come up against 234-pound fullback Delando Hawthorne, whose status is listed as “week-to-week” af­ ter recovering from a badly broken ankle last year.

The Gee-Gees had pre­ pared all week to stop Papp, only to find out at game time that he was scratched from the lineup due to an injury suffered the previous week.

T h e 5-foot-6, 145-pound speed demon from London, Ont., led the O Q IF C in punt returns last year, including three for touchdowns and had the country’s two longest re­ turns.

“W e were so keyed up to play them,” said Ring, who was extremely upset with the loss. “That was like a lunchbox letdown to find out that Papp w asn’t dressed. I ’ve got to give M cG ill credit. They played smart and we played it dumb — we took too many penalties.”

Ottawa was penalized an incredible 13 times for 110 y a rd s, co m p ared to the Redmen who were flagged five times for only 37 yards.

M any of the Ottawa penalties erased cru cia l long p lays which ultimately cost them the game.

M c G ill f o o tb a lle r s b r in g c h e e r t o h o s p ita l

“ It was the toughest loss I ’ve had since taking over the job last year,” said Ring whose team went 1-6 in league play during his rookie campaign.

The M cG ill Martlet soc­ cer team began the 1992 sea­ son this weekend by hosting the Old Four Tournament at M olson Stadium . D espite posting a 1-2 win-loss record and placing third, the team showed much promise for the upcoming season.

The Martlets opened the tournament by losing a fairly evenly-matched game 2-1 to the Toronto Varsity Blues.

Sascha M cLeod scored the lone M cG ill goal off a To­ ronto goal kick.

A g ain st Q u een ’s, the team began to play more as a u n it. T r a c e y T h o m p so n scored from within a crowd in front of the net and Gayle Noble drilled a tremendous 35 yard free kick into the up­ per corner, as the Martlets went on to win the game 2-1.

The University of A l­ berta Pandas overpowered the Martlets 3-0 in the final game of the round-robin tourna­ ment. The Pandas, with an unbeaten 3-0 record for the two-day event were declared the tournament champions.

Fo r most teams, the Old Four provides the first games of the new season. Evalu a­ tion o f individual players and the team as a whole, develop­ ment o f an effective unit and experimentation are just as important to the coaches as

the final outcome.

“Traditionally the Old Four is used as an opportu­ nity to see what the rookies can do in a game situation, to try new things, and to begin to meld a team together for the upcoming season,” said head coach Tony Iachetta.

T h e m id fie ld , w ith strong perform ances from Brigitte M asella and Lu ce M o n g ra in , em erged as M c G ill’s strongest asset. They supported both the strikers and the full-backs and showed an ability to control the game by making intelligent passes and runs.

The full-backs, anchored by captain Andrea Benoit and strong play by G ayle Noble, were adjusting to a new line-up which did not include a fourth sweeper, but turned in a good performance.

“We were trying new things,” said Noble. “I thought we communicated well to­ gether at the back, and now we have to be more aggres­ sive and pull together as a team.”

Iachetta felt that the Martlets must now work on moving the ball around better and on both offensive and defensive set plays..

“We have to work on the first touch and improve the flow of the game, he com ­ mented. “ In the second game we began to come together,

The Redm en’s impotent offence didn’t manage a sin­ gle shot in the first 45 min­ utes.

R ed m en g o a lk e e p e r Andrew Potter was outstand­ ing, stopping more than a few excellent Q ueen’s chances, and keeping M cG ill in the contest against a visiting team that sho w ed m uch m ore firepower than its hosts.

M cG ill again took a sec­ ond half wake-up call and its pressure yielded results. Chris Drysdale scored his second penalty shot of the weekend and M ike Popow ych took down a perfect chip-pass from Marc-Antoine Larochelle and put it low past the Queen’s keeper.

Potter’s shutout bid was ended by a Queen’s penalty shot just before final time was called, but M cG ill managed to hold on for a 2-1 win.

The Old Fo ur tourna­ ment provided the Redmen players with a taste of the competition to come and the chance to work together as a team. The games were also used by coach Sandrin and assistant coach N ic k D e l Grosso to evaluate their ros­ ter in preparation for final cuts.

Most experimentation took place in the midfield, where m any co m b in atio n s w ere tried, and where nearly half of the players on the roster are able to play.

Coach Sandrin said he was satisfied with the team’s o v e ra ll p erfo rm an ce, and M c G ill’ s penchant for the second half comeback bodes well for the upcoming sea­ son.

Captain Chris Drysdale looks forward to a good sea­ son for the team based on their Old Four success. “ We haven ’ t won the Old Four for a few years,” he said.

“In both games we showed that we could come back and play as a team. It looks good.”

Q u e e n ’ s fin ish ed the tournament with two losses, while the Universities of T o ­ ronto and Sherbrooke both finished even at 1-1.
