T h e e x c lu sio n o f m en is as m u ch a p o litic a l statem ent as the march itse lf, perhaps e v e n m ore so . T h is is unfortunate as it underm ines the fo c u s o f the march: fem a le em pow erm ent.

Participants cla im that th e ev en t is the o n ly nigh t o f the year that w om en are at liberty to w alk the streets alon e and unafraid. T he march creates an environ m en t for an op p ressed group to rally its id eas, c o n fi­ d e n c e , strength and support. T h e ab sen ce o f m en is said to represent the ab sen ce o f patriarchy and the p resen ce o f fe m a le solidarity.

H istory illustrates that su ch sp h eres are o ften n ecessa ry . R eality dem onstrates that they are a lw a y s tem porary. E ven m archers n eed an escort h om e from the even t. T h is is not G ilea d and w hat fo llo w s is not the H and m aid’s T ale.

M archers not o n ly m an aged to alien a te m a le fe m in ists from the e v e n t, th ey m a n a g ed to se g r eg a te fe m a le s. Q u ite lite ra lly , m archers departed from the prem ise and fa iled to fin ish w h ere they started.

O f th o se in attendance, there w ere w o m e n and there w ere w om yn .

W h ile this d istin ction left the form er ask in g “y ? ” it w as but a form ali­ ty. It w as the slo g a n s that w ere problem atic. C hants began w ith “Arrête la guerre contre le s fe m m e s” and w ere interrupted by “L a guerre contre le s h o m m e s!”

R ather than create an o p en sp a ce for th e m se lv e s, m archers su c ­ c e e d e d in raisin g a barricade. S o m e p rop osed to take b ack the nigh t w h ile others sa w fit to d eclare w ar on the m ale sex.

S u ch s lo g a n s d id not fo ste r u n ity but c o n fu s io n . S olid arity w as uprooted by the m isdirected anger o f a fe w ind ividu als. A n ger is under­ standable, h o w ev e r it sh ou ld b e v o ic e d s o as not to underm ine the g e n ­ eral intent o f the m archers. T h e result w a s m ore o f a w ak e than a c e le ­ bration. Separate the m en from the w om en i f y o u m ust but do not se g ­ regate the fem in ists. O ne n e e d s to c o n sid er the so c ia l ram ifications o f su ch e x clu siv ity .

W hen w ill solidarity exten d to all fem in ists? D o e s our reluctance to d o so ind icate a failure to e v o lv e ? A rgu ab ly, the failu re is so c ie ty ’s, but so m e o n e m ust se t an exam p le.

A n understanding b etw een and w ithin the se x e s is integral to se x u ­ al equality. T he fem in ist m o v em en t m ust ex ten d b eyon d X X and incor­ porate X Y . B oth se x e s m ust r ec o g n ise the b en efits o f so c ia l, e co n o m ic , and p o litica l equality.

U p o n d o in g s o , th e m o v e m e n t w i l l n o t o n ly b e fe m in in e b u t hum anitarian. Let fem in ism e v o lv e but let u s n ot le a v e the fem in ists behind.

better word) gentleman air-guitaring with great intensity to "Armageddon It” by the supreme deities o f British rock Def Leppard. It destroyed my concen­ tration and upset my date.

In legend, the night is a time of elves, spells and mischievous spirits. Nothing is quite as magi­ cal. Yet the night is also the haunt of demons and werewolves, vam­ pires and vicious, leprechauns.

Nothing could be as evil. Night is the gentle Dr. Jekyll and the wicked Mr. Hyde. And into night’s paradox step the thoughtful and the ignorant.

Night’s battlefield is the scene of unspeakable atrocities, the selfsacrifice of martyrs and the brave to whom with failing hands the martyrs have thrown etiquette’s torch. One need not look further

- Out of the groove on the Main than the fabled nightlife of StLaurent Boulevard, whose dance floors and falafel huts pit the per­ petrators of vice against etiquette’s saints.

D e a r M r. M a n n e rs,

You really have to help me out. My parents met on Solid Gold so needless to say dancing comes easily to me. Unfortunately it doesn’t for others. While carving out my space on the dance floor at a well-known establishment, 1 was confronted with a (for lack of a

The Faculty of Ephemera A lex U sh e r

As some ot you may know, the facu lty ot Ephemera here at McGill recently underwent a Cyclical Review. The committee found that we weren’t really “excellent” or “world class” because we were busy teaching instead of doing research which was of truly international calibre.

Well, let me tell you, all that’s been changed!

Here are two pieces of international-calibre research which form the basis of our cringing annual report to the Principal to justify our funding: The first story involves the latest mass craze to sweep Thailand. It’s called “pumping”. Some people claim that pumping is a relatively harmless pastime; other claim it is the work of Satan and a threat to the flower of Thai manhood.

Most “pumpers” are small-timers. Bored with their everyday existence, they decide to get a “rush” by taking a bicycle pump, stuffing it up their rectum and giving themselves a rush of air.

However, “hard-core” pumpers take it one step further. Not content with the little squirts of air they get from normal bicycle, pumps, they go out and buy two-cylinder foot pumps to give themselves a harder, more continuous flow of air through their nether regions.

As you can imagine, this sort of behaviour is rather addictive, and can lead to tragic results. Take for instance, the case of little Charnchai Puanmuangpak of Bangkok. Only 13 years old, he decided that even the joy of the two-cylinder pump had worn off, and so he went after bigger game: the compressed air hose at the local gas station.

At twilight one day last January, Charnchai snuck past snoozing station attendants to the air hose, pulled down his pants, put the hose up his rectum and insert­ ed a two-baht coin.

The result is best described by the witness across the street who thought that she was seeing a fireworks display. The coroner’s comment to the effect that authorities were never likely to recover the entire body from the one-hundred metre radius over which the body was blown is perhaps more descriptive but at the same time less poetic.

“Pumping is the devil’s pastim e,” said a

Dear Grooveless, I whole-heartedly sympathise with your fury at the one whom you have so generously referred to as a “gentleman”. In fact, he is by no means gentle but the incubator of a virile form of savagery. The displeasure you feel for your opponent’s chosen form of selfexpression is an honest reaction to a shameful display of man’s inhu­ manity to man. There’s been a dangerous increase in the inci­ dents of air instrumentation, but spokesperson at the Nakhon Ratchisma hospital. “Inflate your tires, by all means, but hide your bicycle pump where it cannot tempt you".

No doubt this will give sociol­ ogy departments around the world something to think about for

awhile...

The second ground-breaking piece of research involves the legal process in Kenya. One recent case is of particular note; that of a Mr. Peter Wamburgo Mugo. He was brought to trial by a farmer, who, upon returning to his fields after lunch discovered that one of his four sheep was missing.

According to court transcripts, a search through a nearby copse revealed that the missing sheep was tied to a tree and dressed in diapers and a bonnet. Mr Mugo, the defendant, was behind the sheep, naked, singing a lullaby and thrusting in tune.

Mr. Mugo conducted his own defence at his trial, and his tactics must be considered as some of the most novel in legal history.

“If I had killed the sheep, you all would have been lining up to get some meat, but instead here I am in court,” he argued deftly.

Next came the “safe sex” defence: “Five times I go with a prostitute, five times I get VD. People should realise that animals are cheaper and safer,” he told a hushed courtroom.

His defence on the other charge for which he was brought to court was perhaps the most imaginative one of all. When asked why he had relieved himself in a bank manager's ashtray, he claimed that the bank manager had been holding him hostage and that his weak bladder had been unable to take the strain.

He was sentenced to be caned. Strangely, there was no Michael Fay-esque international outcry about this punishment.

There! Don’t you think that's worth at least a research institute? You choose, folks: should McGill spend a million bucks on a pipe organ for Religious Studies or give the Faculty of Ephemera a hefty grant to continue its groundbreaking work? Write your answer down and e-mail it straight to Principal Bernard Shapiro, whose address is SHAPIRO@PRINCIPAL.LAN.MCCILL.CA A le x U sh er is in n o d a n g e r o f g ettin g te n u re a n y tim e soon

- Falafel traditionalist somewhere on St-Laurent

D e a r F alafel, D e a r M r. M anners,

I remember it like it was yes­ terday. It was 3:10 a.m.. I had just stumbled out of my favorite alter­ native drinking establishment, dazed by the fruits of my preferred micro-brewery and craving the crafts of the local falafel artisans.

At the nearest temple of falafel, I stood in line, trying to keep my balance against the disorienting fluorescent lights. It was here that I was confronted by a particularly heinous trangression of etiquette.

The woman in line before me ordered a falafel and then asked for a knife and fork. I watched in horror as she peeled off the protec­

I had a dream the other night in which angels anointed with gar­ lic sauce came to my bedside and sang of your experience. Though you may not know it, your defence of the traditional Lebanese cuisine cottage industry has made you a folk hero. You are a hero of the people whose portrait hangs in the halls of royalty. While your foe was obviously attempting a digni­ fied approach to the consumption of her falafel, her reckless use of etiquette brings shame to the movement and discredits all the gains we have made thus far. Her foolishness must be punished with a fruit basket and assorted jams.

M em b ers o f the Q u éb ec P ublic Interest R esearch G roup fou n d ed L O A F at last y e a r ’s general m eetin g in resp on se to student inter­ est.

“A lot o f p e o p le w an ted to support su stainab le [organic] lo ca l agri­ culture but c o u ld n ’t afford health fo o d store prices. L O A F w a s a w a y o f p o o lin g o u r r e s o u r c e s to g e th e r to d o it a ffo r d a b ly ,” c la im e d K aren T em p leton , co-coord in ator o f L O A F .

T h is se e d o f an id ea q u ick ly grew in to a reality, inspired by a sim ilar operation at C oncordia. L ast year students u sed the c o -o p to m ake w e ek ly orders o f e x c lu s iv e ly organic fo o d . T he produ ce availab le ranges w id ely: from b o k c h o y and g r ee n k a le , to b ro w n r ic e , le n tils and c h ic k p e a s, th rou gh a p p le s, carrots, p o ta to e s and le ttu c e , to sp rou tab le grain s and seed s. “F ree range” e g g s — e g g s not produ ced o n a co n v en tio n a l ch ick en farm — are a lso availab le.

T h e title “organ ic” refers to produce — in clu d in g organic b e e f and ch ick en also — that is g row n w ithou t the app lication o f p e stic id es, herbi­ c id e s, sy n th etica lly -co m p o u n d ed fertilizers, or the horm on es and antibi­ o tic s that are pu m ped in to cattle and c h ick en to accelera te grow th and com b at d ise a se . S im ilarly, organ ic produ ce is free o f artificial add itives and co lo rin g , io n isin g radiation and ge n e tic m anipu lation that are u sed in the preparation or pack agin g o f fo o d s o n c e grow n. A certification guaran­ t e e s th e c o n s u m e r th a t th e p r o d u c e is o r g a n ic . T h e O r g a n ic C r o p Im p rovem en t A sso c ia tio n , for ex a m p le, is an intern ation ally reco g n ised , farm er-ow ned certification program that su bjects its m em b ers to stringent standards and regu lar m o n ito r in g o f farm in g p ractices b e fo r e th ey can r ec eiv e the O C IA label.

W h ile the ste re o ty p e s co n c er n in g th o se w h o “ sh op o r g a n ic ” range from h e a lth -c o n sc io u s y u p p ie s to y o u n g and o ld ‘6 0 s th row -b ack s, the trend to organic fo o d s is rapidly in creasin g a m o n g the general population.

In 1988 C anadians spent app roxim ately $ 7 6 m illio n on organic produce, m eats and grains. A year later that figu re rose to $ 9 5 m illio n . N o w it is lik ely o v e r $ 2 0 0 m illio n . C on sid erin g so m e o f the statistics con cern in g com m ercial n on -organ ic produ ce, the reason for the trend is o b v io u s.

It is rather sordid to co n sid er w hat g o e s into sh ou ld be ju st “fo o d ”, plain and sim p le. It is estim ated that every year there are 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 nonlethal hum an p esticid e p o iso n s and 4 0 ,0 0 0 deaths from p e stic id e use.

S ix ty -six o f the approved fo o d -u se p e stic id es are k n o w n can cer-cau s­ ing agents. O n ly .01 percent o f the p esticid es app lied actually reach their target, w h ile the rest accu m u late in other w ild life and the environ m en t.

S o m e scien tists con sid er p e stic id es to be the w o r ld ’s m o st seriou s p o llu ­ tion problem .

O n a m ore b en ig n n o te is the result o f a R utgers U n iversity study.

Identical n on -organ ic and organ ic produ ce w ere stu died to discern their com p arative nutrient v a lu e and it w a s d isc o v e re d that n on -organ ic pro­ d u ce has 8 7 .8 3 percent le s s nutrient valu e. T h e m o st graphic exam p le o f this d ifferen ce w a s the p resen ce o f iron in tom atoes. W h ile the n on -organ ­ ic to m atoes w ere foun d to h a v e o n ly o n e part per m illio n o f iron, th ose o f organ ic o rig in had 1,9 3 8 parts per m illio n . O n e therefore g e ts a h igh er n u tr ie n t y i e l d w h il e a v o i d i n g c h e m ic a l in p u t s at th e s a m e t im e .

C on su m ers o f organic produ ce say it sim p ly tastes better.

T e m p le to n and C h ris T ie d je , c o -co o r d in a to r o f L O A F , c la im that students enthu siasm for organ ic produ ce has grow n. W h ile the interest in starting the c o -o p began w ith o f the environ m en tal b en efits o f supporting organic farm in g, m any c o m e to sh op organic b eca u se o f the lo w p rices, c o n v e n ie n c e , health co n cern s and so c ia l contact. A p p roxim ately h a lf o f the students sh op p in g at the c o -o p also help out, as the c o -o p is run entire­ ly by volu n teers, b u yin g and se llin g the prod u ce w h o le sa le from distribu­ tors. N eith er the co -o p , nor any o f its w orkers r e c e iv e rem uneration for their serv ice. T h e result is that organic fruits, v e g eta b le s and grains are availab le at prices on par w ith con ven tion al produ ce in superm arkets lik e M etro, and substantially cheap er than in health fo o d stores.

G. Love And Special Sauce

S/T (O K eh / epic)

—Lizzie Saunderson

O ne o f the m ost schizophrenic and s u c c e s s f u l c r o s s o v e r s to d a te , G .

L ove and Special Sauce have a fresh approach to a stale gam e. The band is Jeff ‘the H ou sem an ’ C lem en s on the drums, upright string bassist ‘the M a r s h m e llo w m a n ’ , J im m y Jas Prescott, and G. L ove on guitar, har­ m on ica, v o c a ls and dobro. A blu es trio w ith ch eesy hip-hop alter egos?

The m usic m ay be raunchy delta jazz and blues, but the vocals are as hiphop as the Pharcyde are blunted. The liv e instrum entation takes the ja z z flavoured new sch ool hip-hop trend on e step further, and it is one giant step ind eed. T h is cru dely recorded debut C D is the ideal forum to sam ­ p le G . L o v e and S p e c ia l S a u c e ’s tromp through straight ahead blu esr o ck er s, s w in g in g lo v e so n g s and M o to w n s o u l, all fra m ed by G . ’s slic k e r -th a n -g r e a se rh y m in g . A n d h o w can o n e g o w ron g w ith ly ric s to u c h in g o n su ch im portant so c ia l issu es as basketball and cold bever­ ages? W hile this C D is only a tease com pared to G. L ove and crew live, it is nonetheless a refreshingly origi­ nal take on a corroding genre, and w ill bring p leasu re to all c o n n o is ­ seurs o f quality m usic. Aaah yeh.

—Harris Newman The Barenaked Ladies

Maybe You Should Drive (Sire) Judging from their latest release, the L ad ies w ill be returning to a Kraft dinner diet. They m ay even have to share the b o x . Maybe You Should Drive lacks the pre-pubescent genius that m ade the L a d ies a c c e ssib le to both first-tim e listeners and groupies alike.

T h e refo rm ed L a d ie s hu m ou r is a m elan ch oly one. A nd like M orrissey on a g o o d day, they do a little soul searching and you alm ost feel sorry for them. The first single is “Jane”.

L ik e w e n e e d an oth er o d e to th is w om an , w ith all her addictions and guns. Enough said. The m ost am us­ ing son g on the album is e n t i t le d “ A ” .

Their c o lla b o r a t io n w ith S te p h e n D u ffy is a un ion o f the has-b een s, and the result is a s e c ­ o n d -r a te CD.

Without a sound

(Sire)

I f y ou are a D inosaur Jr fan, Without m ake you want to beat J M ascis with a big stick. W hat the h e ll has h ap p en ed to D in o sa u r Jr? W here is that perfect fusion o f punk rock, heavily m elod ic m usicianship, and su b tle, e m o tio n a l so n g w r itin g that once characterised them? Som e e v il, sin iste r fo r c e has rep la c ed it with what appears to be the bastard child o f Pearl Jam, Lynyrd Skynyrd and N e il Y oung. The bottom line is that th is is n ’t the D in o sa u r Jr that r e le a se d ‘Y o u ’re L iv in g A ll O v er M e ’ and ‘B u g ’ in the late ‘8 0 s. In fact, sin ce singer/guitarist J M ascis is the only rem aining original m em ­ ber (drummer M urph is absent), it is hardly D inosaur Jr at all. Without a sound sta r ts o f f w ith ‘F e e l T h e P ain ’, adm ittedly an excellen t song, full o f the angst and m elod ic, liquid energy o f the D inosaur Jr o f old. But a teaser it is, prom ising what the rest o f the album sim ply cannot deliver.

W h at w e h a v e h ere is m id -te m p o country m usic and an overd ose o f J’s drawly, scratchy vocals. M ascis said that this LP w a s an attem pt to get b ack to p la y in g th e “ear b le e d in g c o u n tr y ” th at s p a w n e d th e ir fir s t album, Dinosaur. ‘Country’ y es, but ‘ear-b leed in g’, no.
