By Steve Smith Québec City is rife with rem inders of the struggle that brought the Parti Québécois to power again on Monday night. In the old town, restaurants specialis­ ing in traditional Québécois cuisine sit side by side with Subway and McDonald’s while the Maple Leaf competes with the Fleur de Lis along the city’s skyline. Perched high above the city is the Britishbuilt Citadel which keeps a perma­ nent watch over the Plains of Abraham, where the British con­ quest of New France was sealed in 1759.

They serve as reminders of a struggle that will be accentuated in the next ten months as the the PQ prepares the way for its promised referendum on the issue of Québec’s independence.

At the ironically-named, if not purposely selected Hotel Le Capitol, the PQ and nearly 1,000 supporters gathered to celebrate the end of the “second period” in their campaign for sovereignty that is

garnished with all the trimmings of a hockey game. As the results from Monday night’s election rolled in, the big screen television at centre stage in the Capitol’s auditorium showed a cartoon hockey player in a PQ jersey blasting slapshots past a hapless goalie dressed in red. The master of ceremonies continued the analogy with references to the Bloq Québécois’ “54 goals”, or seats in the federal government, and the PQ’s 125 players in the provincial elections.

Outside the Hotel le Capitol, an enthusiastic and predominantly young crowd gathered in the hopes of getting to hear PQ leader Jacques Parizeau’s victory speech as it became increasingly clear that the PQ would win a majority in Q uébec’s N ational Assem bly.

Inside le Capitol, a continual flow of PQ dignitaries took the podium to speak of the significance of that evening’s election results. The first to speak was PQ Vice President Bernard Landry, who emphasised

By D awn W estley Last April Christian Dior launched an extensive advertisement cam­ paign to introduce its new cellulite-combatting formula. The ornament of choice was a poster that sported the brightly-wrapped profile of a set of female buttocks. The advertisement raised a few eyebrows and a vast array of com­ mentary.

Nearby, a pedestrian has a view of naked buttocks labeled “La Sourire”. And flashing neon representations of nude figures provided by Montréal’s entourage of strip clubs are not uncommon sights along Ste. Catherine.

A copy centre is coming to the Shatner building. Operated by the Engineering Undergraduate Society, it will provide photo­ copying services in the basement of the building.

The plans for the centre changed this sum m er when SSMU VP Finance Paul Johnson discovered that his initial plans for the centre were not acceptable to the M cG ill ad m inistration.

Johnson was considering a con­ tract with a company outside the university.

“McGill runs its own printing services below the lib ra ry ,” Johnson explained. “As well as the EUS in the McConnell engi­ neering building. They both felt that our copy centre might hurt

them fin ancially if an outside competitor were to be brought in.”

EUS President Robin Petri agreed with the university.

“M cGill d id n ’t want this,” she claims. “ [McGill] said you can’t use our space against us. We weren’t happy with them opening a centre — it was com petition against us. Often our disagree­ m ents w ith SSM U are over SSM U h irin g o u tsid e groups which compete against our own interests.”

Johnson decided to consult EUS copy centre managers for a solution to the SSMU-EUS com­ petition.

“We began thinking of part­ nerships that were com m unity­ wide. This is a gem of a project,” he said. “This copy centre will be See C opy C e n tre Page 3

In a world of designed desires An Other Look G eoff G

So h ere I am , staring into m y little h alogen lam p, trying to th in k o f th e b e st fo o t to p u t fo rw a rd to b reak the ice, perhaps thin, perhaps n o t, b etw e en m e an d you an d th e bounds o f this colum n. I ’m looking fo r an other look — another w ay to see. I w ant to explore aesthetics, bu t not dryly an d riddled w ith p ig eo n ­ h o lin g like its p hilosophical roots.

W e ’ve com e too far and m ove too fast now (w ithout even noticing the sp e e d ) a n d Im m a n u e l K a n t c a n ’t keep up.

I ’ve ju s t put on a C D that I w as given to review . I ’m sort o f proud to s a y I ’v e n e v e r b o u g h t o n e , th o u g h m y knees are getting w eak — m y techno-collapse is im m inent.

T h e C D c u rre n tly sp in n in g is E die B ric k ell’s latest. I t ’s going to sell pretty w ell. I ’m sure there w as n o s h o r ta g e o f m o n e y — P a u l S im o n (h er h u sb a n d ) p ro d u c e d it.

B u t I ’m n o tic in g so m e th in g h e re , som ething not quite right. O r should I say, a little too right? T he text on th e co v e r and sp in e are in a script em ulating an old, badly functioning typew riter. T he ‘e ’ is fd led in. T he ‘M ’ is fa d e d . S o m e h o w , I d o n ’t think this w as actually hand-typed.

W ith th e in c re a se d a v a ila b ility o f e ffe c tiv e ly -d e c e p tiv e /d e c e p tiv e ly effective technologies, it seem s it’s a case o f “if you can th in k o f it, w e can d o it (for a fee).” So the record

I t ’s a cycle, and every y ea r it sp in s faster. T he b ig te rm is ta rg e t m a rk e tin g , an d that exhibits som e disturbing ‘under th e g u n ’ c o n n o ta tio n s . M a rs h a ll M cL uhan noted, som e 30 years ago, that as w e m ove into the com puter age o f fast data processing, and not m e re d a ta c l a s s i f i c a t io n , it w ill in c re a s in g ly b e as e a sy (re a d : cheap) to produce a m illio n d iffe r­ ent item s as to produce a m illion o f th e sam e.

A n interesting story th at notes this cycle o f w atching and reacting w as relayed to m e the other day. A su rv e y w as d o n e in th e U .S . th a t in d ic a te d s o m e w h e re a ro u n d 3 0 p ercen t o f m eals in that country are co n su m ed in cars. T his is up from even five years ago, in p art because car designers have m ade cars m ore m e a l-frie n d ly , w ith d rin k h o ld e rs and fold-out trays. N ow , due to this su rv e y , o n e c o m p a n y is g o in g to p ro d u ce cars w ith a tiny one-m eal m icrow ave built into the dash. F or m e, this begs the question, “w hich c a m e f i r s t , th e d e s ig n o r th e desire?” Is design truly as innocent a n d b e n e f ic ia l a re s p o n s e as th e boardroom s w ould have us believe, o r c a n it/d o e s it o fte n c re a te th e trends, and thus irrevocably change the fabric and direction o f culture?

I f y o u are m o v in g , an d ev e ry o n e

around you is also m oving, as if on a h u g e m o v in g sid e w alk (m ark et­ ing), it’s hard to detect m otion. B ut does that m ean w e need not be con­ cerned?

So th a t’s w hy I ’m looking for an o th e r lo o k . I h o p e I ’ve p iq u e d your interest. T here are a fair num ­ b er o f w ays to keep our w its about us, w hich I hope to discuss over the n e x t y e a r. M o d e rn p h ilo s o p h ic a l e n q u i r i e s h e lp .

Invading Haiti requires a comprehesive plan for fallout rebuild H aiti from bottom up, and I am skeptical of how m uch any gov­ ern m e n t is rea lly w illin g to do fo r Haiti.

The U N sanctions w ill not oust the Haitian dictators for a long time, if at all. W e do know that it is hurting innocent Haitians, not only by making their lives worse, but by delaying gen­ uine change which could occur if the United States was serious about help­ ing Haiti to rise from its pathetic state of poverty.

An international presence should remain for many years after and inva­ sion, and if that is not the intention, then the invasion will be a waste. The United States seems much more con­ cerned with having a firm plan for dis­ engagem ent rather than a firm plan for rebuilding Haiti. I have not heard talk about how much money they plan on giving to Haiti to rebuild their educa­ tion system. There are no grand plans to try to reverse the devastating soil degradation and reforest Haiti. W hy is no government talking about building hospitals and schools and im proving

conditions for w om en? N G O ’s w ill certainly be there to help, but without m a ssiv e in te rn a tio n a l su p p o rt and w estern governm ent action, H aiti’s sp iral o f d ec lin e w ill c o n tin u e for many years.

Haiti will not see any sort of last­ ing peace until severe problem s are addressed on a long-term basis. Less than two percent of the island remains forested, and 50 percent o f the topsoil h a s b e e n so d e p le te d th a t it is absolutely unusable fo r agricultural use. The environmental degradation is so severe that it may be impossible to re p a ir, b u t a g re a t e ffo rt m u st b e made. A democratic government can­ n o t g ro w cro p s, and en s u rin g th a t those crops will be grown and equally distributed is a fundam ental step in r e s o lv in g th e a c u te d if fe r e n c e s between rich and poor.

The Faculty of Ephemera T he F aculty o f E p h e m e ra ’s attention is naturally draw n to w ard s electio n s on th is g o o d W ed n esd ay . I have several great case studies o f election m agic to d is­ cuss with you on this great occasion.

O ne o f the best election stories o f all tim e com es from E ngland before the tim e o f the R eform A ct. In those days, there w ere constituencies know n as “rotten boroughs”, so know n because their electoral rolls could contain as few as tw o or three people. T his tended to m ake elections som ething o f a foregone conclusion; but there could, occasionally, be som e surprises. It w as in one o f these boroughs, at the beginning o f the nineteenth century, that a suprem e electoral feat occurred: a candi­ date won despite receiving no votes at all.

The story is as follows: a stodgy old Tory landow n­ er had fo r decades held a particular rotten borough large­ ly because the only eligible voters in the constituency w ere he and his butler. O ne year, how ever, the butler becam e fed up w ith his m aster, and resolved to unseat him . Thus, he entered the contest as a w hig candidate.

S ince candidates w ere n o t in th o se days perm itted to vote fo r them selves, the electio n seem ed headed fo r a c e r ta in 1-1 s ta le m a te . T h e la n d o w n e r , h o w e v e r, d eclin ed to ca st h is vote. T h e b u tle r trie d to do the sam e, but his m aster com m anded him to go to the ballot box. In those days British M Ps were not paid for being at W estm inster; the butler therefore had little incentive to risk being fired and so he com plied. H ow ever, w hen the ballot box w as opened, it w as found that the butler had won 1-0. O bviously, then, the butler had voted for him self, and so he w as disqualified. Therefore, the Tory landow ner w as returned to Parliam ent w ithout receiving a single vote.

It can n o t h av e been p le asa n t as a C anadian fra n ­ c o p h o n e to h a v e h a d J o h n D ie f e n b a k e r as P rim e M inister. The C hief’s treatm ent o f the F rench language o fte n re s e m b le d th e S io u x ’s tr e a tm e n t o f G e n e ra l Custer. D iefenbaker’s poor com m and o f the French lan­ guage w as responsible for him given w hat is generally regarded as the w orst election speech o f all tim e.

D u rin g o n e e l e c tio n s w in g th r o u g h Q u é b e c , D iefenbaker tried to address the issue o f Q uébec’s cu l­ tural aspirations. The text o f his speech read: “J ’espère que vos voeux seront appréciés” (“I hope that your w ish­ es w ill be appreciated”). H ow ever, w hat cam e out o f D iefenbaker’s quavering thorax sounded som ew hat dif­ ferent: “J ’èspere que vos veaux sauront apres shies” (“I hope that your cow s will know how to shit afterw ards”).

Looking back, one m ust w onder w hether or not it is coincidence that the rise o f m odem Q uébec nationalism co-incided w ith D iefenbaker’s term as PM.

Elected officials w ithout votes is rare; electing offi-

F o r the record, the F aculty o f E phem era believes that the m ost significant m om ent in the ju st-fin ish e d election cam paign w as w hen Jacq u es P arizeau adm it­ ted on cam era that his nicknam e as a child w as “V ibrant Ferret” .

W e ’re n o t sure w h at it m eans ju st yet; w e ju st know that someone, I T O som etim e, w ill find som e F reudian significance in it; and then we m ight all — finally — be able to figure out Q uébec politics.

1994-95 SSMU executives: very confident now

By Sylvie Babarik and Sara Iean G reen_______________ Elected by students last spring and paid $10,000 a year, this y ear’s crop o f SSMU executives have com ­ p le te d o n e th ir d o f th e ir tim e in office. The Tribune provides a report on their progress to date.

com m unity-based organisations and oth er stu d e n ts’ asso ciatio n s on the project. T h e initiative h as attracted atten tio n because m ost un iv ersities safety efforts do not extend off-campus. “ W e ’re b re a k in g n ew g ro u n d

Com m ittee on Equity began studying w hether the university was in need of such a policy. Small is com m itted to c o n tin u in g th e stu d y o f th e ra c ia l harassm ent issue.

S m a ll is a ls o c o n tin u in g S S M U ’s participation in the review

Holding the umbrella D u rin g h is c a m p a ig n , S S M U President Sevag Y eghoyan promised to provide strong leadership to the M c G ill u n d e r g r a d p o p u la tio n .

Y eghoyan described h im self as the s p o k e s p e r s o n f o r th e S tu d e n ts ’ Society.

“I see my role...as getting input fro m th e d if f e r e n t f a c u ltie s a n d g ro u p s, and th en actin g on it,” he said. “SSM U is an um brella organizsation. A t tim es w e need one voice that m ust represent all others on cam ­ pus.”

His election proposals included the creation of a book exchange pro­ gram , and cam pus-w ide recycling.

He a ls o p le d g e d to f ig h t a g a in s t tuition hikes.

T h e b o o k e x c h a n g e p ro g ra m w ill aid students seeking to buy or sell old books. T hough support for the plan is strong am ong students, there m ay be a conflict between the exchange and the M cGill Bookstore.

H ow ever, Y eghoyan rem ains confi­ dent that the plan can still be im ple­ mented.

Yeghoyan, who has been nom i­ n a te d to th e E n v ir o n m e n ta l C om m ittee, is hoping to extend the e x is tin g r e c y c lin g p ro g ra m .

A ccording to him, M cGill only recy­ c le s six te e n p e r c e n t o f its w a ste w hile oth er u n iv ersities have been able to recycle up to forty per cent.

He plans to improve accessibility by distributing m ore bins across ca m ­ pus.

As part o f an effort to strength­ en M cG ill’s relations with other uni­ versities, Benedict has been involved in th e fo rm a tio n o f th e C a n a d ia n A lliance o f S tu d en ts’ A ssociations.

B e n ed ict disagreed. “ I d o n ’t th in k y o u ’ll find the executives this year think the office o f e x te r n a l is e x p e n d a b l e ,” he said.”[If one] picks goals and sticks to them, [the external portfolio] is no m o re im p o s s ib le th a n a n y o f th e other jobs,” he argued.

D u rin g th e e le c tio n , S m a ll pledged to improve daycare facilities a t M c G ill. S m a ll s u g g e s te d th a t M cG ill’s current full-tim e care pro­ gram is problem atic for students who need more flexible hours. “ S tudents cannot alw ays fu n c­ tio n w ith in th e M onday to F rid ay , n in e-to -fiv e sc h ed u le,” Sm all said.

“Some need childcare only for a few hours, w hereas others such as those in C ontinuing E ducation m ay need night-time assistance.”

Sm all em phasized that h er role as V P U niversity Affairs requires an “open-door policy” .

“It’s im portant for [students] to know that there is someone who will listen to them ”, she said. “By hearing about one case, we m ay be able to make sure that the problem does not happen to another student.”

cessful this year and that a profit will be recorded for the first tim e in sev­ eral years. There w ere 1,700 reg is­ tran ts th is fall, up from 1,300 last year and 700 the year before. These figures contradict W right’s cam paign claim that 2,000 students participated in the 1993 W elcome W eek.

W right has created several new p o sitio n s to aid him in o rg an isin g events.

“I personally will not be as visi­ ble perhaps as I m ight have been in m y first term, but the departm ent as a w hole w ill be m ore visible because there are m ore people carrying out a num ber o f activities,” stated Wright.

W rig h t is s ta rtin g a S tu d e n t Leader Bulletin to dissem inate infor­ m ation about SSM U and develop a rapport with student leaders on cam ­ pus. By im proving com m unication, W rig h t hopes to give clubs greater access to their student government.

L a s t y e a r, th e f ir s t SSMU Journal was published to fam iliarise students with SSMU. W right plans to h av e tw o issues produced and d is­ tributed this year in order to maintain in fo rm a tio n flo w b e tw e e n S SM U and the student population.

Dr. Debt V P Finance Paul Johnson is also b e g in n in g a s e c o n d te rm in th e S S M U e x e c u tiv e . L a s t y e a r h e f o c u s e d p r im a rily on s h o rt-te rm m icro-m anagem ent and stern fiscal r e s tr a in t in o rd e r to c o m b a t th e $360,000 debt owed to McGill.

J o h n s o n ’s first o b jectiv e is to ensure the long term financial viabil­ ity o f SSM U. His second concern is to keep SSM U within its budget.

“L ast y ear...I tried to instill a sense in everyone that they are shar­ ing com m on funds here rath er that having carte blanche on the budget they get,” Johnson said. “They have a responsibility to each other.”

S SM U en d ed th e y e a r w ith a surplus. This enabled it to pay back $50,000 to the university.

S ad ie’s T abagie m ade a profit last year for the first tim e in m any years. Johnson is also confident that Marriott, SSM U ’s food services con­ tractor, can also im prove its financial position. A cam paign to encourage clubs to use G ert’s for their functions is underw ay in an attem pt to boost business.

A lth o u g h th e re w ere ru m o rs over the sum m er o f conflict between m em bers o f the executive, Y eghoyan m aintained that the executive can be an effective team.

“You have five people from dif­ feren t b ack g ro u n d s w ith d iffe re n t o p in io n s ,” re m a rk e d Y e g h o y a n .

“There were difficulties at the begin­ ning, but this past A ugust has gone very sm oothly. I ’m very confident now .”

T he item appeared in the Gazette and w as broad­ cast on C H O M -FM last T hursday.

T he C entury C lub, a gam e th at involves drinking an ounce o f beer every m inute for 100 m inutes, requires players to drink m ore than eight beers in less than tw o hours.

Pierre T ellier, director o f M c G ill’s health services, said that drinking gam es can cause death from alcohol p o iso n in g b ecause the body ca n n o t safely m etab o lise alcohol at such a high rate.

“I t ’s not a very b rig h t w ay to spend an evening, because it could be your last evening,” h e said.

D ea n o f S tu d en ts Irw in G o p n ik ca lle d th e gam e “ stupid and dangerous” , but said that the university does not w ant to control student activities unless they are ille­ gal or against the code o f student conduct.

EU S President R obin Petri assured that no serious incidents occurred, and that som e students chose a “half century”, a shot o f beer every tw o m inutes, instead.

“T his d o esn ’t go w ell w ith alcohol aw areness — I w o n ’t pretend that it does,” she said. “B ut I hate to think th a t an ev e n t lik e th is w ill o v e rsh a d o w all th e g o o d things w e ’ve d one.”

Spacing out with Stereolab

By Ioyce Lau A s fo r B ritish electro-m ellow b an d S tereolab, their debut album title says it all. T h e m o th e r o f Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements, has com e out w ith a new and even sp acier release, Mars Audiac

Quintet.

Ironically coupling Z en lyrics ab o u t th e ephem eral nature o f all things m o d e m w ith m inim alist, som etim es bubbly trance m usic, singer and ly ric ist Laetitia Sadier m akes h er w ay th ro u g h S te re o la b ’s carefu l strings o f disso n an t m elodies.

L iste n in g to S tereo lab is like listen in g to one o f e v e ry d a y ’s little o u t-o f-tu n e d ea d -p an h u m m in g s p o l­ ish e d o v er ch u rn in g g u ita r and a h eav y bassline. I t ’s like listening to beautiful fuzzy m usic o n a reco rd play­ e r th at skips and repeats.

S o n g w riter Tim G ane talked to the Tribune about his w ide m ix o f influences, w hich run the gam ut from early industrial, ‘70s bands from G erm any, the B each B oys, and Pavem ent m u sh ed up in to “ k inds o f m usic th at really d o n ’t exist.”

T h e B each Boys, though? “ You can h ear a d ifferen ce betw een A m erican and B ritish m usic... there are certain sounds th at ju s t c a n ’t

co m e out o f A m erica... though I th in k I like A m erican m usic better in general,” G ane said.

They go beyond the boundaries o f classic indie-noise, with Stereolab’s clean little organised peeps o f sound work from instruments such as “farsida” and “eggs”. “ I love noises. N oises can be funny... A nd not ju st ‘f u n n y ’ lik e th a t, th e w o rd fu n n y can h av e a lo t o f m eanings itself,” he said.

So th e y ’re different, and D.I.Y., and experim ental, and m ix lots o f genres. D oes that m ean th at w e can put them under the infam ous label of...?

“N o t alternative, no alternative. N o, I d o n ’t think that w e ’re an alternative band. In B ritain it’s a little b et­ t e r b e c a u s e w e h a v e ‘i n d e p e n d e n t ’ . B u t t h e n it becom es ‘in d ie’, ‘in d ie -ro c k ’. N o, th a t’s ju s t as bad.”

S te re o la b is a d ilig e n t b an d . T h ey p u t to g e th e r th e ir la st album in five w eeks, rele ase d it in A ugust, to u re d o n L o lla p a lo o z a ’s se c o n d sta g e , an d ju m p e d rig h t into th e ir N o rth A m eric an to u r and are now on their w ay to pay a v isit to M ontréal.

Trekkies live long off-campus have no money...” , director Erin Berry said.

T he scripts fo r The Devil in the Dark and A Piece of the Action rem ain fairly intact, but are barely recog­ nizable from the end product.

T erence B row n is o u r u b iq u ito u s and om n iscien t Kirk. H is interpretation leaves the audience w ith ‘Shades o ’ S hatner’ and drags every last drop o f irony from the y o u n g W illia m ’s legacy.

S p o c k is m a s t e r f u l l y c a p tu r e d b y A n d ré Costopoulos. F rom his first eyebrow raise, the audience is hard-w ired to him and even m isses him w hen he is underused in the second episode.

T he rest o f the cast is solid, w ith particularly am us­ in g p e rfo rm a n c e s fro m L isa L e n ih a n (S c o tty ). O ne sc e n e sh o w s L e n ih a n sittin g in th e c o m m a n d c h a ir painting ‘h is’ nails as K irk and S pock flounder in peril elsew here.

Jacques Viau and R ick M iller play the token char­ acters w hich undoubtably get beaten-up/ killed in w ellchoreographed fighting scenes.

“I t’s form ula” says Berry, “the red shirt com es out w ith his phaser and you know h e ’s going to get killed.”

T h e only problem lies in con­ cept, w hich loses novelty after one episode. T he pacing o f A Piece of the Action seem ed to drag, and the jokes, w hich w ere so funny in the first in stallm en t, w ere stale. Still, Star Trek is enjoyable and com es highly recom m ended.

The Sexual Assault Centre of McGill Students' Society is looking for volunteers for its Outreach and Crisis Prevention programs. Our volunteers work on our help-line, in our office, and doing educational work, as well as other special projects. If you are concerned about sexual assault, are interested in making a commitment to a rewarding volunteer job, and have good interpersonal skills, come along to one of our introductory meetings, where volunteers will explain the Centre's operations in more detail and provide application forms for our training programs.
