S S M U Inc. N o b o d y n eed s to b e rem ind ed that there is a preoccu p ation w ith deficits on cam puses across the country. O ver the years, discussions that w ere o n ce fram ed as “providing optim al student se r v ic e ” have silen tly becom e equated with the new question o f “generating more m oney.” Our S tu d e n ts’ S o c ie ty has not b een im m u n e to the sh ift. S S M U has been seduced by the potential revenue found in offering up for sale the right to put a corporate hand in your pocket.

S S M U executives w ere part o f the bookstore advisory com m ittee that has helped m ove M cG ill closer to outsourcing the cam pus bookstore. Their participation, they assure us, m eans that student concerns have been and w ill con tin u e to be part o f the negotiation process — ensuring that the mark-up on textbooks remains at 2 0 per cent, that used texts continue to be sold, and that the new corporate partner is Canadian-owned.

If the university signs a contract with Chapters, w c m ight want to plan a trip to the M cG ill B ookstore's anticipated second-floor Starbucks, have a latté and c o n te m p la te w h y S S M U w a s e n c o u r a g in g the o u tso u r c in g process. W e w ill likely find that the decision had m ore to do with benefit to SS M U than the direct benefit to students.

S S M U President Tara N ew ell em phasized that desp ite her personal objection s to outsourcing, she had to “keep in m ind the interests o f the Students’ Society." Under the terms o f a contract signed with the universi­ ty, SSM U w ill receive the profits generated by the bookstore once its build­ ing loan is paid o ff — profits that could reach SI m illion per year i f the store’s m anagement is outsourced. N ew ell allow s S S M U ’s future stake in bookstore profits as justification for M cG ill’s abdication o f responsibility for the book store to a corporate giant, albeit an 8 0 per cent C anadianow n ed giant.

O utsourcing the bookstore can only serve as another exam ple o f how “student se r v ic es” and “fiscal opp ortu nities” have b e c o m e increasingly confused. O ver tw o years ago, SS M U entered an informal partnership with Peel Pub in an attempt to revitalize Gert’s. Peel Pub ultim ately pulled out over unprofitability. Around the sam e tim e, hopes o f running a co-operative café in the space now occupied by the A lley w ere dashed when a contract w as signed with food-service provider Miraval.

It is clear that outsourcing w ill continue to be a question for S S M U to deal with. T his w eek, the Students’ Society w ill be talking to representa­ tiv es from Kodak about reviving the old C op i-E U S that w as in the base­ ment o f Shatner. In the future. SS M U w ill also have to consider what to do with new bids to purchase Gert’s.

Student leaders cannot lose sight o f the importance o f providing non­ profit ser v ic es to students, or at least ensu ring that profits are not ju st siphoned o f f to corporations. It may be possib le to increase the bookstore's profitability by providing products and services that are more appealing to students and professors — it d oes not, how ever, require the outsourcing o f m anagem ent to make those changes.

A t M cG ill and elsew here, corporations have proven their poor track record when they end up in unprofitable or m arginally profitable situations.

There may be som e potential benefits to the relationship with Chapters, but w e cannot ignore the fact that much o f the new profitability w ill com e on the backs o f students and Chapters w ill take their slab o f the pie. SS M U is positioned to benefit directly form their endorsem ent o f the outsourcing p r o c ess o n c e the b o o k sto r e ’s m ortg a g e is paid o f f — in e ffe c t, their endorsem en t m ay am ount to little m ore than a hidden student fe e that sh ow s up each tim e you g o to the bookstore till.

16 September 1997

Isn’t it ironic that Alanis flunked English? No, I don’t think so A sure sign o f my age, I ju st th is w ee k fin ally fille d m y ow n prescription o f the once pervasive and popular cam pus drug, A lanis’ Jagged Little Pill. A fter my sec­ o n d o r th ird h it fro m th e ho m e stereo, it occurred to m e (as you have no doubt already discovered) that, along w ith achieving satisfy­ in g , sta b le re la tio n s h ip s , Ms. M orissette seem s to h a v e a l i t t l e tr o u b le em p lo y in g the co n cep t o f irony.

N orm ally, this kind o f b la ta n t m is - u s a g e w ouldn’t bother m e, but I suspect that “Ironic” is som ew hat sym pto­ m atic o f the deteriorating respect fo r p r o p e r n a r r a tiv e e x e c u tio n running ram pant in the irony-satu­ r a te d m e d ia m a e ls tro m o f o u r post-m odern culture.

(If the ly ric s fro m th e little ditty I ’m referring to h av en ’t yet b een b u rn ed into y o u r ow n p e r­

I f I r e c a ll c o r r e c tly fro m “Introduction to the N ovel,” irony describes a situation in w hich an

Over the Top D an Loom er e v e n t d if f e r e n t th a n w h a t w e expect from a specific set o f cir­ c u m sta n c e s o c c u rs. (Iro n y also has a sardonic side, w here it can be e x e r c is e d s a r c a s t ic a lly in adjective phrases like “nice rugby p a n ts, d u d e .” H o w ev er, fo r o u r purposes, w e’ll stick to the strict narrative usage.)

W ell m ay b e I ’ve seen too m any b ig screen c o u rt­ room dram as, but that kind o f sal­ v atio n strik e s m e as p a r fo r the course in our late tw entieth-centu­

is that if som ething big happens, the m edia will tell me. Yes, I know that big corporations have ways of covering up the fact that their jock­ ey shorts cause flipper babies. Yes, I know, the news is sensationalis­ t s , inaccu rate and biased. I still count on it to tell me when a war threatens my existence, w hen the tax on my booze goes up, or when a writer I like bites the dust.

M ost o f the time, I can’t stop the m edia from telling m e things.

eyes half shut ja m ie C o w a n F ro m M a rv A lb e r t’s m id n ig h t snacks to Eddie M urphy’s car pool, the m edia finds w ays o f feeding me facts that only mean I’ll even­ tually be able to ace the 1990s nos­ ta lg ia ed itio n o f T riv ial P ursuit.

But for one brief moment, current e v e n ts b ec am e h isto ry w ith m e noticing.

T h a t’s th e p ro b le m . I ’m so used to the feeling o f om nisence th e m e d ia g iv e s m e th a t w h en something happens and I don’t find out, I get a little queasy. M aybe disoriented is a better word. I’m a

A lanis, not only is it d isap p o in t­ ing, it’s ju st plain inconsiderate.

B ecause I d o n ’t w ant to drag anyone th ro u g h m ore o f w hat is quickly becom ing pessim istic d ri­ vel, or offend any understandably ard en t fans, I ’ll skip rip p in g the traffic ja m and knifey-spoony sec­ tions. B ut before this kind o f blas­ p h em y b e c o m e s c o m m o n p la c e , and our generation is blam ed for it, I advise all you aspiring artists and academ ics to arm yourselves w ith a stro n g se n se o f lite r a r y usage.

[Note for the unwashed mass­ es: W illiam S. B urroughs was an au th o r and poet. H is m ost fa m o u s w o rk . N a k e d Lunch, was turned into a m o v ie by D a v id C ro n en b e rg .

N obody to ld me th a t B urroughs died. One person told me about Jim m y Stew art, several thousand about Diana, but nobody m entioned W illiam S. Burroughs.

T h e day B u rro u g h s c ro a k e d (a w o rd m a d e a p p r o p r ia te by Burroughs’ singing voice — check out Tom W aits’ “The Black Rider” if you don’t believe me) I was sit­ ting in a canoe on Lake Kawagma.

It w as S e p te m b e r ’s is s u e o f Rolling Stone that finally let me in on the secret.

N ot th at my m onth o f ig n o ­ rance made much o f a difference.

If someone had told me on the sec­ ond of August, I would have kept on c a n o e in g . B u rro u g h s w o u ld have k ep t on decaying. B ut in a tim e when the ubiqutous nature of the press is being blam ed for the death o f D iana, I expect to know all the news that’s fit to print.

O therw ise, it’s ju st a bum m er.

T o her credit, I can ap p reci­ ate the sting o f a free ride w hen y o u ’ve already paid the fare and the good advice that you neglect­ ed in your frivolous youth as steps in th e d ire c tio n o f iro n y , b u t to im m ediately w aste the confidence b u ilt in our sardonic sensibilities w ith som e elaborate, story about a guy w h o ’s afraid to fly , d rops a w hole w ad o f cash on his first air­ lin e tic k e t a n d h is p l a n e g o e s dow n in flam es (d o n ’t tell m e you

Titillating toilet tales A g a in to d a y I w e n t in to a m en ’s w ashroom and again today I nearly vom ited. W hat is it w ith th is p la ce ?

Research debunks some myths about female hormones M c G ill s c ie n tis t in v e s tig a te s th e e ffe c t o f e s tr o g e n o n m e m o r y lo s s

By H eather S o k o lo ff

Estrogen is a chem ical which offers a total body experience: hor­ monal changes affect us both physi­ cally and psychologically.

F ro m b itc h y to w ee p y , the menstrual cycle conjures a range of personalities. If you think you can look forw ard to m enopause as the end of that hormonal rollercoaster ride, then think again. M enopause presents its own barrage o f sym p­ to m s — so m e a lre a d y f a m ilia r o n es, lik e d e p re ssio n and m ood sw ings, and som e new additions, su ch as n ig h t sw e a ts an d ev en memory loss.

E strogen’s effect on the nor­ mal functioning of the brain is the s u b je c t o f th e re s e a r c h o f D r.

T h is research has caused a bit of a media sensation; Sherw in has been fe a ­ tured on CN N , A BC , and in the New York Times.

Although estrogen production on ly b eg in s to d e c lin e w ith the o n se t o f m e n o p a u se , S h e rw in ’s work is nonetheless significant for w om en o f all ages as it serves to debunk myths that w om en’s com ­ plaints are scientifically unfounded.

Women have long suffered accusa­ tions that menstrual suffering is “all in th e ir h ea d s,” and there is still som e debate w ithin the scientific com m unity concerning the leg iti­ macy of PMS. As sym ptom s associated with menopause have still not been firm ­ ly established, women experiencing

Dr. Barbara Sherwin: claim ing lo st m em o ries m enopause may feel b affled and out of control. Consider the lawyer who suddenly cannot remember the date of her next trial or the English professor who suddenly feels at a loss for words in a conversation. A sudden onset of m em ory loss can lead a woman to fear that she is los­ ing her mind.

“W hat is important for women is that we now have a basic neuro­ sc ie n tific e x p la n a tio n fo r th is ,” Sherwin explained. “So, if women are told, ‘this is all in your head,’ well, it is.”

Board of Ontario almost six weeks ago, M olson is not sure when the c o m m e rc ia l w ill b e a ire d . S o, despite w ide-spread reports o f its somewhat scandalous content, nei­ ther consumers nor the media have actually seen the ad.

D iana Rose, M olson’s public relatio n s rep resen tativ e, em p h a­ sized that the com pany is growing w eary o f alleg atio n s o f ex p lo ita­ tio n . W h e n a s k e d if M o lso n is reaching out to gays and lesbians, she stated that, “the com mercial is aimed at everybody.” According to R o se , th e c o m m e rc ia l is “ v ery tongue-in-cheek.” In the ad, a man gazes at a beautiful woman across the bar. As he approaches her, she walks away to jo in another beauti­ ful w om an. Is the reje cte d m ale m eant to seem pathetic to the view ­ er, or is he, as critics charge, get­ tin g o ff on w atch in g the w om en together? ' Rose m aintained that “the ad ’s novelty lies not in its being sexual­ ly ta b o o .” R a th e r, sh e sa id its

ap p eal w as “du e to its th em atic, artistic and musical qualities.

“Jo u rn a lists are d ig g in g too d e e p ly f o r s c a n d a ls ,” R o se explained. “The content o f the ad is respectful.”

M arilyn M cC rea, vice p resi­ dent of public relations for Molson, refused to com ment on the content o f th e co m m ercial ex c ep t to say th a t it is title d “ W o rth a T r y .”

W hen asked directly if there was an y s e x u a l c o n ta c t on c a m e ra betw een the tw o w om en, M cCrea replied that it was “open to inter­ pretation.”

Q u e s tio n e d as to w h e th e r M olson would consider producing an ad featuring two gay men, nei­ th e r R o se n o r M c C re a w o u ld respond.

M cCrea explained that “hypo­ th etical q u estio n s are a w aste o f time, and even if there was such a commercial, no inform ation would be given as it w ould be useful to com petitors.”

Canada supports the commercial. A re p rese n tativ e, N iq u ette D elage, has not yet seen the com mercial but did not perceive M olson’s motives as exploitative.

“The hom osexual com m unity is a m a rk e t w ith, b u y in g p o w er, who would like to be recognised as a cultural group. They are entitled to full integration into advertising.”

To m em bers o f the gay com ­ munity, however, ‘full integration’ remains a distant goal. The Molson ad, said Jeffrey Silverstone o f the M cGill Gay Com ing Out Group is b u t a “ s m a ll p e b b le a m id s t an avalanche.”

R e g a r d le s s o f M o ls o n ’s motives, Silverstone sees the ad as a sign of progress.

“I don’t consider m yself to be part o f a trend. I see it [the visibili­ ty of the gay community] more as a p o in t o f no retu rn w here we are moving forward. Besides, one can admire a Pepsi ad without drinking Pepsi.”

Sherw in, how ever, cautioned against a sensationalist approach to her research. She believes that the cognitive results of estrogen depri­ v atio n are so m e w h at re v e rs ib le with hormone therapy. “ B e s id e s ,” sh e e x p la in e d , “people want to jum p on one fact, and th in k th at it ex p lain s ev e ry ­ thing. Now we know that estrogen is a player in memory loss, it is cer­ tainly not the whole story.”

“But estrogen is not the only factor. W e already know that the m ore sc h o o lin g y o u ’ve had , the m ore intelligent you are, the less you are at risk for A lzh eim er’s,” she said. “T hat’s true with memory function as we age; its also true to a degree with estrogen and changes in memory function. The more neu­ rons you have — som ething that has to do with IQ — the more ypu are protected from deterioration.”

Hormonal changes should not effect the way that any w om an is p e rc e iv e d in th e w o rk p la c e .

S herw in com p ared th e estro g en related changes that may occur with a g in g , to th e e s tro g e n - re la te d changes that occur during menstru­ ation. “ In th e e ig h te e n th c e n tu ry , m en stru atio n am ong the n o b ility was viewed as a time to just stay in bed,” Sherwin related. “Some peo­ ple think that women cannot really fu n ctio n fo r tw o days out o f the month. But w om en know that we may w ake up in the m orning and think, T ju st feel terrible,’ but we still get out of bed and continue on without really missing a beat. Just because you may notice a d iffe r­ en c e in how y o u fe e l, d o es n o t mean that you actually function any differently.”

S h e rw in h as a lso r e c e n tly sig n e d a c o n ta c t w ith O x fo rd University Press to write a book on depressive disorders in the female life cycle.

Now that people like Barbara Sherwin have begun to investigate the way that hormones affect cogni­ tive functions, women’s complaints can be taken m ore serio u sly and more treatment options will become a v a ila b le to th e m . A se a l o f approval from the scientific com ­ munity tends to give credibility in th e se m a tte rs.

Trib: You’ve been living in Atlanta fo r th e p a st fiv e y e a rs. W h at p ro m p te d th e m o v e fro m N ew York?

Some positive brothers doing good work. A lot o f people are saying that these groups are picking up where Public Enemy left off. I don’t know if I can say that, but they’re doing a fantastic job.

Trib: What kind o f a show can we expect to see from you at Yawp!?

P. G .: B a sic ally , th is is spoken word, but there will also be some beats. I'm gonna read some old stuff from my various projects over the past ten years, as well as some new material from my upcoming album.

Blood o f the Profit. See, in order to go gold or platinum now, you’ve got to d ie. Y o u ’ve g o tta h av e th a t gangsta, crack pusher image and it eventually catches up with you. Too many of the kids are going that way.

It’s blood money, you know what I’m saying? That’s where the album title comes from.

th reat and they w ere looking for anything they could use to bring us down.

A s far as w hat 1 m ight have said in the past, I believe that it was P au l in th e s c rip tu re s th a t sa id “W hen I was a child, I spoke as a ch ild . W hen I w as a ch ild , I did childish things.” I don’t believe that Paul was talking about his physical age. I think he was talking about his spiritual level, his m aturity. Now that I’ve grown as a spiritual man, it’s like, “deal with me from what I’m saying now.” Understand? Now if you w anna play that gam e, go back into history and bring out the negative, of course wc can do that.

There’s negativity in European his­ tory, American history. There’s neg­ ativity in Black American history.

Why can’t we accentuate the posi­ tive and just build on that?

T rib : I’ ve got this friend w ho’s a huge Public Enemy fan. Been one since he was a kid. The guy knows hip-hop inside and out. He makes his own beats, he’s a producer, he’s got a whole posse of MCs working with him. Now, he’s Jewish and I know that he would be very interest­ ed to hear w hat you th in k about folks like him, Jewish people who have a love fo r h ip -h o p and for black music.

Trib: Let’s talk about the media. Do you feel misrepresented? Has there been any trouble for you in that area on the current tour?

P.G .: No. The media that we speak with today are trying to do some serious journalism now, some seri­ ous reporting. They’re not fabricat­ ing, m anipulating like they were during the Reagan/Bush era. At that tim e, Public Enemy was a serious

P.G.: I ’ve trav elled all o ver this glo b e and w hat y o u ’re say in g is really nothing. It doesn’t matter if y o u ’re Je w ish , G e n tile , H in d u , whatever. The love for the music is the love for the music. Music is uni­ versal, it’s like a smile. You don’t sm ile in a p articu lar language. I d o n ’t have a problem with any of that. Matter of fact, introduce him to me when I get up there.

McGill’s “little big man” takes helm in rookie season Q u a r t e r b a c k r a i s e s R e d m e n ’s o f f e n s i v e h o p e s i n t h e l a s t t w o g a m e s

By C hris Lander T he spiral is beautiful, sym ­ m etric, and perfection in the eyes o f q u a r te rb a c k s , r e c e iv e rs an d occasionally defensive backs. The ball is in a constant state o f ro ta­ tio n y et c o n sta n tly m o v in g fo r­ ward.

A s fa r as sp o rts m e ta p h o rs go, it appears that the spiral fits quarterback D ave M cK innon per­ fectly. N ot only is the UO educa­ tio n stu d e n t a d e p t at th ro w in g sp ira ls fo r the R e d m e n , b u t h is fo o tb a ll c a re e r h as m o v e d f o r ­ w a r d w h ile s im u lta n e o u s ly returning to fam iliarity.

W hen graduation tim e cam e, M cK innon w as faced w ith offers from such Ivy L eague schools as Princeton and H arvard, as w ell as D iv isio n II H obart. H ow ever, in the en d his choice and his h eart lay at M cG ill. “ I ’v e a lw a y s liv e d in M ontreal and M cG ill has alw ays b een ‘th e sc h o o l’, and I fig u red th a t if I c o u ld n ’t go to th e Ivy le a g u e b e c a u se o f the fin a n c ia l costs, th at I m ight as w ell go to M cG ill because it’s ju st as good,” said M cK innon. “I figured I could com e hom e.”

W hile the rookie w as enjoy­ ing a hom ecom ing o f sorts, there w ere still o b sta c le s to be o v e r­ com e.

A lthough his heig h t appears to be a m ajor obstacle, M cK innon and the M cG ill o ffen ce seem to be a m atch destined for success. “ I lo v e it, i t ’s p e rfe c t.

B e fo re I c o u ld re c o g n iz e a balk, a p ick and roll o r a screen pass, I could contribute by q uot­ ing a statistic I had recently read or m em orized.

O ne m ig h t say statistics are s p o rts . W h ile th is c o m m e n t is general, it is true nonetheless that statistics are the subtle thread that b o n d to g e th er th e h isto ry o f the gam e. B aseball is a prim e exam ­ ple.

Football team looks to rebound

This week, the Redm en foot­ ball team will host Bishop’s in the an n u a l h o m e co m in g and S h rin e Bowl event. This game is pivotal in determ ining the rem ainder o f both te a m s’ re sp e c tiv e seasons. A s it stands, both M cG ill and B ishop’s stand at 1-2, mired in a five-way tie for fourth place.

W hile it is too early to begin to panic, the R edm en find th em ­ selves in a positio n they did not expect to be in. The team, made up prim arily o f veteran players w ho made it to the conference finals last season, have not risen to the chal­ lenge this season.

The team has had prom ising moments, but have been unable to m a in ta in a su sta in e d am o u n t o f p re ssu re on th e ir o p p o n e n ts. In their first two gam es, the Redmen found themselves well behind after three quarters and only came to life m id -w ay th ro u g h th e fo u rth . In their third game, the Redmen found th e m s e lv e s w ith th e e a rly le ad against Q ueen’s, but could not hold o f f th e G o ld e n G a e ls ’ c o n s ta n t pressure throughout the game.

At 1-2, the Redmen are not in te rrib le sh ap e. T he O tta w a G ee

T he M a rtle ts’ new season, m a rk e d by th e lo ss o f se v e ra l key players from last year, has started o ff on a good, if not su r­ prising start.

In th e t e a m ’s o p e n e r at l ’ U n iv e r s ité d e Q u é b e c à M o n tréal, D ebrah K ietzke held th e h o m e te a m s c o r e le s s as M cG ill won 4-0. A m anda Shaw led o ff th e sc o rin g in the 28th m in u te o f p la y , w ith a g o a l w h ic h p ro v e d to be th e g am e w in n e r . J a n e M o ra n , O d ile D e s b o is , a n d r o o k ie P a tty F osche rounded o ut the scoring in the rout.

In a h a r d - f o u g h t gam e ag ain st a team w ith good depth, the Red ‘n ’ W hite played a tight defensive style and kept the gam e scoreless until late in th e g am e. In th e 8 5 th m in u te, M a r tl e t r o o k ie R achel B o o m g a a rd t s c o re d th e o n ly goal o f the game.

The win cam e as a bit o f a surprise, as L av al held a stran ­ glehold on the series last season.

T he fact that several o f L av al’s to p p la y e rs w ere n o t in a tte n ­ d a n c e , c o m p e tin g in ste a d at a hom e tournam ent, favoured the M cG ill squad.

A ll g a m e s w e re red u ced to tw en ty -fiv e m inutes in length for this tournam ent.

S aturday’s play got o ff to a p ro m isin g start as M cG ill tie d Q ueen’s 1-1. M cG ill’s lone goal w a s s c o r e d b y M ic h a l F ire .

From that point on M cG ill was on the receiving en d o f num er­ ous shutouts. The M artlets were blow n out by both the G uelph A a n d B te a m s , in 3 -0 a n d 4 -0 sc o re s r e s p e c ti v e ly .
