udden death overtim e. In hockey, OT is one big emo­ tional rollercoaster. One shot can be the difference between win­ ning and losing. Unfortunately for the M cG ill Redmen, that one shot allowed the nationally second-ranked Univer­ sité à Québec de Tro is-R ivières Patriotes to narrowly escape with a 5-4 victo ry at the M cConnell Winter Arena last Saturday night. The Redmen were pressing in the Trois-Rivières zone for the OT winner, but the puck squirted loose and the Patriotes broke out on a two-on-one break. Trois Riveres forward Jean Roberge managed to put the puck in the net, and UQTR notched another two points in the OUAA standings. “They had a wide guy drive to the net and he threw out in front. 1 made the firs t save, it landed between my legs, and before I knew I was in the back of the net with the puck,” said M cG ill netminder Jarrod Daniel. M cG ill drew first blood only 70 seconds into the game when captain Todd M arcellus, perhaps M c G ill’ s best forw ard on this night, scored his fifth goal of the season. F iv e m inutes late r, w ith Redmen forward Luc Fournier in the penalty box fo r hooking, U Q TR equalised on an odd man rush. Trois-R ivières forward Jean Roberge rocketed his team into the lead, 2-1, w ith a ta lly through Daniel’s legs two minutes later. Unshaken by the turn of events, M cG ill's potent power play then went to w ork, scoring two goals, both by Stéphane Angers, in less than a one-minute span. The tying goal came from the top of the right face-off circle mid­ way through the first. Anger buried a monster slapshot for his ninth goal of the season. H is tenth goal restored the

M edical education to go high tech M o lso n d o n a te s $ 3 .7 5 m illio n f o r c o m p u te r in te ra c tiv e m e d ic a l te a c h in g to o ls By Petro D uszara

On N ovem ber 2 7 , the Molson Foundation announced a $3.75 m illio n donation to the F a c u lty o f M ed icin e fo r the M cG ill M edical Inform atics pro­ ject. The donation, made possible through the M cG ill Twenty-First Century Fund, w ill be used to fund the development of an on­ line teaching program. M ed ical In fo rm a tics is an emerging discipline which com­ bines computers and other infor­ mation technologies to improve medical education, research and patient care. M c G ill’ s m ed ical In fo r­ m atics project is the first of its kind in Canada, and promises to

The principle staff members involved in the project are Dean o f M ed icin e Abraham F u k s, A ssista n t Dean o f M ed ical Inform atics David Fle iszer, and Robert Kearney chair of the FOM Computer Centre. “ M edical In fo rm atics w ill equip the Faculty of Medicine at M cG ill for the twenty-first centu­ ry ,” said Kearney, who is also the chair of the department o f bio­ medical engineering. A s of yet, a detailed budget fo r the program has not been release d . A ndrew P o rtla n d , development officer at the FOM , was a fund-raiser for the project. He explained that the money w ill not be used strictly for hardware,

but w ill go p rim a rily tow ards research and developm ent o f in te ra ctive program s and data banks. The data banks w ill con­ tain all course material, including slides, diagrams and examples. “ The benefit to students is that everything w ill be indexed, u n ifie d , a va ila b le and re a d ily accessible,” said Kearney. It w ill also contain a wider range of information that students are now exposed to. According to Kearney, pro­ viding class material in an easily accessible form through m ultimedia w ill facilitate learning. “ M edical students are e ffi­ cient consumers...they have a lot of m aterial to learn , in a very Continued on Page 2 »
