by Paul Michell

SSMU Council will hold a General Assembly open to all students to de­ cide on whether to join a three day general strike on the issue of loans and bursaries reform. TheGeneral Assem­ bly will be held in Room S 1/4 of the StewartBiology building onThursday October 20 at 15h00 (that’s 3:00pm for all you confused anglos).

SSMU (Students ’ Society of McGill University) will present a resolution, given unanimous approval at the

SSMU Council meeting on Tuesday October 11, which calls for alternate action to pressure the Québec Govern­ ment for loans and bursaries reform, but the General Assembly could pass over the SSMU recommendation and decide to join the strike planned for October 26,27, and 28.

The general strike call was issued from ANNEQ (l’Association nation­ ale des étudiantes et étudiants du Québec), the largest student organiza­ tion in the province, of which McGill

and several other Québec universities are not members, and consequently, McGill has been reluctant to follow the policy leads of the organization.

However, SSMU has recently been improving its unofficial relationship with ANEEQ, and SSMU VP External Affairs Mark Cameron attended the Special Congress of ANEEQ on Octo­ ber 1 and 2 along with External Affairs Committee member John Fox as an observer.

The External Affairs Committee

Federal Election P roxy Voting

by Stéphane St-Onge

The External Affairs Committee of the Students’ Society will be holding election readiness activities after Oc­ tober 20th to promote student voting for the Federal elections.

The activities include, according to the V.P. External Report to Students’ Council, an enumeration centre on campus, polling stations at residences and the ‘Ghetto’. As well, information booths will be set upto advise students on how they can register as “new vot­ ers or as proxy voters” in their home riding.

Marc Cameron, SSMU V.P. Exter­ nal, has appointed Suji t Choudry of the

Committee to coordinate these activi­ ties.

On October 20th, the Committee will distribute the forms necessary to vote throughproxy at the front SSMU desk and at booths around campus.

This process includes the filing of an EC-1070 form, which must be stamped at the Registrar’s office. As well, an EC-1080 form, available at a District Returning Office of the Mon­ tréal region, must be completed and sent to the person proxy voting for those students. These forms must be presented at the polls at election time.

As advertised in last week’s Trib­ une, a student’s “ordinary residence”

Access Ramp Delayed

by Stéphane St-Onge

McGill administration and the Stu­ dents’ Society have delayed the con­ struction of a wheelchair access ramp to the Union Building due to design problems.

The cons (ruction was postponed af­ ter a gas main was discovered where the ramp was to be built.

The project, which was approved this summer by the Administration, SSMU, and former Access McGill member Sam Miller, was to begin construction this semester.

Amanda Kalhok, SSMU V.P. In­ ternal, announced the delay at last

Tuesday’s SSMU council meeting.

“One expects that the architectural team would check into these matters.

We were informed [of the problem] justrecently,”mentioned Kalhok, ob­ viously frustrated by the cause of the delay.

“I am disappointed with the archi­ tectural team, as the gas main problem was not taken into account when the project was designed,” continued Kalhok.

Charles Adler, McGill Physical Plant Planning Officer, was unavail­ able for comment.

determines in which riding to vote.

This residence can either be the par­ ents’ home, or the student’s present residence. A student must be enumer­ ated and appear on the voting list in the polling division of his/her ordinary residence to be eligible to vote.

“After what happened in Chile last week, it demonstrates the importance of expressing one’s democratic right to vote,” Cameron commented.

The Committee also proposes to send questionnaires to party candi­ dates to “find out where they stand on issues of concern to students,” as ex­ plained in the report.

(EAC) decided that only a General Assembly on the issue of McGill pol­ icy towards the Government’s intran­ sigence on loans and bursaries reform would “clear the air” and be represen­ tative of student opinion. So while SSMU will be proposing a non-strike option, the General Assembly could decide for any number of responses, including joining the ANEEQ-led strike.

TheGeneral Assembly, which must be attended by at least 200 people to form a quorum, will take the SSMU resolution into consideration, as well as any other possibilities. As of yet, there has been no formal move by a “pro-strike” body of students to con­ solidate support or plan a counter­ resolution.

The EAC proposal is a three-point plan which does not include participa­ tion in a strike, but which SSMU VP External Mark Cameron feels is the most effective way for McGill to put pressure on the Québec Government.

“Strikes haven’t proven to be par­ ticularly good ways of showing the government wemean business. We’re hoping that this plan is a more con­ structive attempt to deal with the prob­ lem,” said Cameron at the Tuesday night SSMU Council meeting.

EAC and SSMU involves a “campus­ wide information and petition/letterwriting campaign”, as well as partici­ pation in a large student protest in Montréal on October28 and a demon­ stration at the Québec Liberal Party meeting on October 29.

There was concern on the part of some SSMU Councillors about the nature of the picketing at the Liberal Party meeting. VP Cameron assured Council that picketing would be of an “informational nature” only.

“We’re not going to be blocking the doors or anything like that, we just want to let people know about the problem,” said Cameron. Cameron also anticipated support for the McGill position on loans andbursaries reform from the youth wing of the Québec Liberal Party.

Cameron also explained to Council­ lors the nature of the different posi­ tions held by ANEEQ and McGill on loans and bursaries and underfunding in general.

“The francophone universities are generally less concerned about underfunding because, relatively speaking, they’re not as badly underfunded as McGill. So for them the issue is acces­ sibility [to a university education], whereas McGill has to worry about both issues,” said Cameron.

E lectio n o ’ ap ath y As Canadians all across this awkwardly sprawling land head into a general federal election, a strange sort of lethargy is insipidly bur­ rowing into their skulls and putting them to sleep. Why are we all so damn bored?

There hasn’t been any vibrancy in this campaign; John Turner has been his notoriously dull self, Prime Minister Mulroney, taking a cue from his Co-Chairman Norman Atkins, is attempting to sleep­ walk voters to the poll in traditional Big Blue Machine grandeur.

Even everybody’s favorite union man Ed Broadbcnt has failed to excite the expectant masses.

Maybe this has all been preordained. The Communication Age has finally reached Canada in full force, and hapless voters may now be subjected to American-style “rah rah rah” campaigning.

This is not a pleasant prospect. The final triumph of style over sub­ stance may now be upon us.

Isn’t this just what the Progressive Conservative Government wants? For a party and a leader who have been accused on more than one occasion of being shallow to the extreme, one might expect that a slick “8x10 glossy” campaign would be the chosen path. One could hardly have made the same prophecy about the Liberal and New Democratic election machines, two parties who have prided (deluded?...) themselves on being paradigms of substance and honesty.

But no. John Turner and Ed Broadbent have insisted upon criss­ crossing the country in Lear jets, engaging in carefully controlled “photo opportunities” and generally boring the hell out of Canadi­ ans.

This might not be so bad if there was something intelligent going on behind the scenes. This, sadly has not been the case in the present campaign. Periods of peace and prosperity in history have been marked by...well, not too much except peace and prosperity.

Sure it’s a bit boring, but if you want excitement, move to Beirut.

Still, there is no need to make the campaign excruciatingly dull a n d devoid of serious political discussion. Promises, promises.

Council Corner The Budget Overview b y N a n c y C ô té

At its September 27thmeeting, S tudents’ Council approved the $1.6 mil­ lion budget of the Students’ Society.

The Vice-President Finance and JMC (the Joint Management Committee) worked together closely during the summer to ensure that each groups’ budgetary requirements were met and that the services andoperations funded

by Students’ Society continue to be provided on a daily basis.

As a result of the SSMU fee increase passed by referendum in the Fall of 1987, most groups experienced in­ creases in their budgets over last year.

In fact, for those groups who will be receiving a lower subsidy than was requested, most adjustments were the result of simple arithmetic errors and more realistic projections of antici­ patedrevenues and expenditures being made, based on previous years’ actual spending.

In the end, the long hours paid off, and a successfully balanced budget has been prepared.

The work will continue throughout the school year, with the VP Finance monitoring all financial aspects and budgets carefully. Managing the fi­ nances involves overseeing the nu­ merous Food & Beverage operations, three Sadies’ outlets, all the Society activities andservices, and the Univer­ sity Centre itself.

As a result of the transition period between the terms of the old and the new Vice-Presidents’ Finance, not all groups have received a copy of their approved budget yet. As mentioned earlier, the budget has been approved, so finalized copies of individual budg­ ets will be forthcoming.

Anyone with questions regarding budgets or any of the Students’ Soci­ ety’s financial procedures should speak to the new Vice-President Finance, Kasey Fukada. He can be reached at 398-6802, or a message can be left at the Students’ Society General Office.

One last word - many thanks go to Titi Nguyen for the time and effort he put into the preparing of the budget. A

_____________ Letters Don't sensationalize T o th e E d i t o r ,

If a rape occurred on the property of theZeta Psi Fraternity, then the assail­ ants and spectators should be dealt with according to the Criminal Code.

That is what ourjudicial system is for.

I might even go as far as to say that there would be justification for the Inter Fraternity Council (IFC) peti­ tioning Zeta Psi Int’l. to revoke the McGill Chapter’s charter if there were documentedevidenceofpast incidents, even of lesser seriousness, at the fra­ ternity. To my knowledge, no such evidence exits, nor does there exist any justification for the unwarranted gen­ eralizations and self-serving character assassinations which have become more and more prevalent over the last two weeks in commentary about Zeta Psi at McGill.

In an apparent effort to distance themselves form Zeta Psi (and so, I presume, escape guilt by association) numerous individuals have been re­ sponsible for statements and actions ranging from self-righteousness to somewhere near libel. The IFC is a salient example. According to the McGill Daily, Ian Palm is heading an impotent judicial committee of an impotent organization known as the IFC to censure the Zetes for their role in the alledged rape, so enabling the IFC to look down upon the Zetes and decree, “Weareholierthan thou.” How they figure they will uncovervalu8able information not already gained in the police investigation I know not. But, that is a secondary concern, anyway.

The main goal seems to be to isolate and alienate this prodigal son of the fraternity system, keeping IFC’s own collective nose clean.

Another good example of unmiti­ gatedZete-bashing can be found in the Gazette (Wed. Oct. 12), which reports SSMU Presidnet Nancy Coté saying —

that the members of Zeta Psi Fraternity have lower grade point averages than anyother fraternity on campus. I highly doubt the veracity of this claim, I challenge Ms. Coté to prove it, and I wonder what demon possessed her to risk a libel suit by making such an unfounded and insulting claim to a major newspaper. More importantly, I cannot see how GPAs have even the slightestrelevance to an alledged rape case. Again, it seems that we have an elected official passing judgement, looking for an identifiable scapegoat, and trying to come away clean.

The two examples I have cited are only two of the more prominent ones.

Over the last two weeks I have read testimony (by an anonymous sorority member and other people with vested interests) to the effect that the Zetes are unpopular outcasts prone to hooligan­ ism. So theZetes are stigmatised. They are guilty of something; we’re notsure of what, but we are sure there is some-

thing. At least we have someone to blame. Meanwhile, there is a youg wornan who probablyjust wants to see justice done. Her interests should be paramount, not the interests of a frater­ nity, its detractors, or the media.

If a rape has occurred, I speak for myself and for my fraternity in ex­ pressing profound horror and disgust at the actions of the assailants. I am confidnet that the courts will do all that they can to punish any and all guilty parties. In the meantime, I would like to ask those who would wantonly pass judgement or take lofty stances for their own appearance to descend from their pedestals. Above all, I would like to ask those who would sensationalize a woman’s tragedy to restrain them­ selves and let justice be done accord­ ing to our country’s laws.

I wish to commend thcTribune on a job well done.

Recently, I needed to publicize a performance of a folk-rock band. As instructed by your staff, I simply dropped off one of the band's posters inyour“submissionbucket”. It seemed too simple to me. I doubted that with such little effort, I could get my event publicizedd in a newspaper as widely read as the Tribune. However, in the following issueofyournewspaper, the

! band’s gigs were advertised in full and accurate detail in the “Events” section.

This scenario bears a sharp contrast to what I had to go through to try to get the same event published in a certain daily publication here at McGill. In the latter case, I had to fill out specific forms andplace them in specific boxes only to have the event ignored com­ pletely by the newspaper.

It’s nice to see an organization carry out its mandate swiftly and profes­ sionally. Thank you.

fh e Accused is the story of a gang rape at a bar, its handling through the court system of the United States, and ultimately, its resolution, both in the context ofjustice andthe ensuing aware­ ness of the masses. Opening with the moment immediately following the

incident, ayoung woman, Sarah Tobias (Jodie Foster), runs out and screams into the night, trying to flag down any­ one coming her way. At the same time, Kenneth Joyce (Bemie Coulson) tele­ phones the authorities.

At the hospital, we are shown the sometimes lack of sympathy and com-

Accus . . .

The

passion as Sarah is obliged to answer such demeaning questions as “When was your last intercourse?” while being photographed to record the bruises and brutal flesh wounds. Here, she meets Katheryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis in a conventional, almost functional per­ formance), the assistant D.A. who will

be the only individual fighting for her side throughout. Detective Duncan is introduced, too; played by Terry David Mulligan, he should stick to Muchmusicking.

We learn that Sarah is a disowned, working class young woman living in a trailer with a schlep of a boyfriend (al­

legedly a musician). We also learn t Katheryn is an unmarried workahe who has spent an entire life concent! ing on her career. Through this cont with each other, they gain a better i demanding of themselves and th place in society.

The Chain : N o t a b o u t g o n d o l a s b y S a ra h Jo h n so n

An Italian wedding is a great source for dramatic material. Conflict, comedy and panoply are all there to be exploited, which is something that playwright Vit­ torio Rossi understands very well. His new play, The Chain, which opened Oct. 4 at the Centaur, recreates this phenome­ non with humour and without patroniz­ ing its participants. At the same time, it shows a pervasive bitterness in grap­ pling with reconciling the past, the Cain and Abel story, and the importance of confronting the truth.

The Chain centres on the Testas and the Scuros, tworelated families wholive together in a modest duplex in Ville Emard. Both families are in a frenzy of preparation for Rina Scuro’s wedding, and the tension is increasedby the antici­ pated visit of an estranged relative from Italy. The Testa patriarch, Tullio, (Harry Standjoski) is determined to make an impression with his successful landscap­ ing company, now run by his sons Mas­ simo and Joe (played by Richard Gianni Zepperi and Ron Lea).

Because the younger Massimo is at­ tending university, he is put in charge, although Joe has more experience. Joe smoulders visibly over his position. His father will not acknowledge him, per­ haps because he sees his own failures reflected in him, and he is looked down upon by the entire family. Despitehis air of affable over-confidence, Massimo is equally frustrated with his father’s in­ flated expectations and his inexperience nearly destroys everything for which Tullio has worked.

A V O D V ' m W u N IV E R SIT Y

The relationshipsoftheScurosneatly parallel those of the Testas. Anna Scuro (Sylvia Bonet) is a widow who focuses her life on her two children, Enso and Rina (Louis Tucci and Paulina Gillis).

However since there is more communi­ cation among the Scuros, they are not involved in the same soul-destroying bondage which grips the Testas. Tullio’s estranged brother is never actually seen, but he plays an important role nonetheless, becauseTuilio’s insistence they keep up appearances highlights something profoundly wrong with the family.

Rina’s preppy “English” fiancé, Michael (David Gow), gives the family aperspective on the outside world. Most of the family is delighted with the alli­ ance, feeling that a middle-class son-inlaw will lend them respectability. Fur­ thermore, Massimo relies on Michael’s financial expertise to help him expand the company. Joe on the other hand, resents him, feeling he regards the fam­ ily as an anthropological curiosity. This leads to a supposedly dramatic confron­ tation where Michael calls him a ‘wop’.

Michael’s characterization is the weakest aspect of the play. In all his other characters, Rossi achieves a high degree of realism and complexity, but Michael comes off as a stereotype. For example, the audience is asked to be­ lieve that a Montreal yuppie would not know what fusilli or espresso is. Be­ sides, it is hard to believe that anyone with a prejudice against Italians would seriously want to marry one.

However, apart from this, The Chain

sions gives new meaning to smiling through one’s tears.

Under Joel Miller’s direction, the Centaur production lives up to its script.

The acting manages to capture the ex­ pressive gestures and rhythmic speech of Italians without parodying them.

Richard Gianni Zepperi particularly stands out as Massimo, easily slipping from good-natured helplessness to pro­ found rage. As Joe, Rone Lea gives an honest, bitterly funny performance, and Paulina Gillis is delightful as the family mainstay who is trying to get married without going insane.

The Chain runs until Oct. 30 at the Centaur,453 St. FrançoisXavier, in Old Montreal. Call288-1229for tickets and info.

is a very good play. It builds up an incredible amout of tension, much in the way an actual wedding does, resulting in a climactic confrontation between Tullio and his sons where all of them leam some shattering truths about them­ selves.

These shattering truths could make for a seriously depressing play, but the sturm und drang is considerably light­ ened by comic moments. One scene where Joe symbolically destroys his father’s tomato plants is saved from heavy-handedness when Massimo says aggrievedly, “Oh Joe, you fucked the garden.” Perhaps the funniest moment of the play is the photo session where Rina screams hysterically “Why can’t everybody just act calmly”, and in the ensuing pictures, the family’s expres­

The Accused is showing at Famous Players' Loews Theatre, 954 Ste-Catherine V/.

N o t s tr e tc h in g a n y lim its The story is that of three women who are preparing to leave a half-way house whichprovided temporary shelter from the storm of drugs, alcohol and the nasty twists of fate which plagued their early years. The three pass through the play, looking backward and ahead, and the climax comes when they must leave their shelter and go back onto the street.

Each woman has a different tale to tell, and a different réponse to that crisis.

Despite those obvious textural differ­ ences, each woman is very much the same. Joanna Noyes, Nathalie Breuer, and Vicki Barkoff give fairly solid per­ formances, but none of them is at all memorable.

I have a sneaking suspicion the ‘blame’ for the limits of the production rests on the shoulders of the director.

The company’s intention is to surpass the limits of conventional theatre, but this play does not stretch any limits that havenotpreviously beenexplored, even adnauseum, andone is aware insteadof the painful part of the strech above all.

There were funny lines, and one must be very hard hearted to have been unmoved on several occasions, but the total effect was rather stiff and, in an experimental sort of way, tired.

Consequently, this movie does not pro­ voke feelings of pity or guilt. As ex­ pressed by Nair, “This film is clearly about life in a hard place.

COMMENT

The McGill Tribune, Tuesday October 18,1988

Canadians have, in past decades, viewed the Canadian Armed Forces with distain, considering them under­ funded andunderequipped. This, from a country with such a proud tradition of military service, is unfortunate. I re­ cently visited the Department of Na­ tional Defence in Ottawa and the Re­ cruiting Center on St. Catherines to discuss defence issues and career op­ portunities in the military.

The Canadian Forces is an exciting place to be at present. Armed with a new white paper, they are looking into the 1990s with a whole new perspec­ tive on defence planning and initia­ tives. After a decade of stagnation under the liberal government of Trudeau, the Defence department, with the formidable PerinBeatty at its helm, has produced a mandate which deals with modem defence, from Arctic sovereignty to peacekeeping.

“The paper gives us concrete com­ mitments and modem equipment to get the job done,” says Mr. T. Code, director of Defence Policy Informa­ tion in Ottawa. The modernization of military equipment is the muscle the military needs to meet it’s already overstretched commitment. In addi­ tion, an expansion of both the regular and reserve forces to “over 90,000 each” will build up the ranks of a military which has declined from well

Nuclear power enables the subma­ rines to patrol, under ice if necessary, for extended periods of time. With the present fleet of three diesel-powered submarines commissioned in the early 1970’s Canada is unable to meet it’s sovereignty commitment, particularly in the Northern scenario.

More recently, Canada sent over 500 military communication experts to the battle-scarred land of Iran and Iraq in order to set up communications between U.N. peacekeepers monitor­ ing the ceasefire. “This is, to many officers and men, the most important function theCanadi anmilitary serves,” said an air force major, now serving in Ottawa. He had been on two such operations in the middle east. Last week, the United Nations peacekeep­ ing forces were awarded the Nobel c o n tin u e d o n p a g e 9

The PIR G powerhouse b y A n n a D e g li A n g e li

A relatively new force is being un­ leashed atMcGill University: QPIRG - McGill, the Quebec Public Interest Research Group. For thebenefitof stu­ dents who were not exposed to PIRG during their energetic petition circu­ lating campaign last year, PIRG de­ fines itself as “a unique, student con­ trolled, directed and funded, independ­ ent, non-partisan, non-profit organiza­ tion”. It provides students with an op­ portunity to impact upon issues in society that they are concerned about, focussing primarily on consumer, en­ vironmental, and social justice issues.

The organization was voted in by a majority during the referendum last spring. Although McGill’s PIRG is still awaiting approval of their consti­ tution by Senate, it shows evidence of becoming as effective a as other PIRG groups in Canada and the U.S., such as the powerhouse New York PIRG. On Thursday Octoberl 3, the chair­ person of the Board of Directors of NYPIRG (New York), Craig Siegel, came to McGill to share the secrets of success in a presentation entitled “Stu­ dent Activism and PIRGs”, Siegel briefly outlined the history of PIRGs, summarizing the organization’s goals and objectives, and gave an encourag­ ing account of the successes of the fifteen-year-old NYPIRG. He called PIRG a“tool” whichgives students the opportunity to have an impact on society outside of the cam­ pus. He traced its roots to the student activism of the 1960s, whichprotested against the existing situation where students were not seen as adults or full citizens and had minimal rights on campus. Theconceptofastudentpublic

interest group emerged in the early seventies as an outgrowth of the six­ ties, helping to put students at the fore­ W

front of political and social change “The main goals or objectives of a PIRG are research, education, and ac­ tion on issues of public concern. Its projects focus primarily on three ar­ eas; environmental protection, con­ sumer protection and social change.

The importance of PIRGS is that they teach students to look at society and critically analyze it. They teach stu­ dents HOW to accomplish change.

PIRG’S have also been successful in educating many citizens on how to be effective advocates in the political scene. Therefore, in addition to ac­ complishing social change, PIRGS serve a very important educational pur­ pose."

In his presentation Siegal clearly noted that “NYPIRG is more thanjust a campus club or an idealist organiza­ tion. It is EFFECTIVE!” Since its be­ ginnings in 1972 the NYPIRG has been successful in passing over 80 laws in New York State. The 17 cam­ pus chapters in that state have proven their credibility by opposing and suc­ cessfully defeating insurance indus­ tries, banks, major business interests such as the Coke and Pepsi Corporations.even a few politicians.

PIRGS inthe United States are fairly well established, and in Canada they are represented by seven groups in Ontario and a couple inBritish Colum­ bia. In Quebec there is the newly formed QPIRG-McGill which (hope­ fully) will soon be joined by Concor­ dia’s campus chapter once it has been voted in by a referendum.

QPIRG-McGill is presently com­ posed of about 60 enthusiastic and dedicated members who are eager to begin arecycling project on campus. If they can overcome funding snags, the group will begin work next semester.

... m o r e d e f e n c e Peace Prize in recognition of their outstanding efforts on behalf of world peace. The White paper preserves Canada’s commitment to Peacekeep­ ing as a proud tradition in the Forces.

On the national scene, a significant role of the Canadian forces is the pro­ vision of assistance to civil authorities when requested. When multiple forest fires stretch civilian fire-fighting ca­ pability to the breaking point, the Forces are available to help. If a prob­ lem is too great for local or provincial police forces to handle alone, for ex­ ample a disturbance in a penitentiary, the Armed Forces can move in to help.

As University students begin seri­ ously to consider the possible future jobopportunities in a sometimes scarry market, they may wish to look at the Canadian Armed Forces. It offers a sound career to disiplined individuals who possess the personal qualities required of good officers. “We don’t drag a person into the recruiting cen­ ter,” says Captain Andre Guevremont, a pilot working at the center on St. Catherines, “It’s our job to explain to interested parties the possible oppor­ tunities in the Forces. Captain Guevre­ mont explained that he oftenhas young men and women come in asking to be pilots or SAR-techs,( coveted posi­ tions within the Canadian military.)

“Of course, we have to look into the possible openings in the various clas­ sifications.”

The two entry plans which may interest students in University are the

RegularOfftcers Training Plan(ROTP) and the Direct Entry (DEO) program.

ROTP applies to selected secondary school students who wish to obtain a baccalaureate at either a military col­ lege or civilian university, subsidized by the Canadian Armed Forces. This means that if you are considering a possible future as an officer in the Forces, they would pay for your re­ maining university. There is anobliga­ tory period of service after completion of school.’Tt’s unfortunate that more students don’t know about this plan,” said a recruiting officer, “Many stu­ dents just don’t have the money for

school.” This plan not only provides the subsidized education but also of­ fers a secure future.

DEO applies to students who have recieved their university degree and are thus able, pending entrance exams, to enter directly into the Forces.

Members of the Forces become involved both nationally and interna­ tionally with issue of interest to all Canadians. “I’mnot going to throw all that ‘no life like it’ stuff at you,” said one officer, “All I can say is that I’ve been in 24 years and I don’t regret one minute of it. The Forces looks after its people.”

F ie ld h o u s e p ro je c t

by Matt Price With the coming of each new school year at McGill comes a little growth in the movement to improve our athletic facili­ ties. Currie gym, having fulfilled it’s pur­ pose hardily in the past, needs a breath of life to keep the student body in good shape.

Currently being negotiated is a project which envisions the construction of a sec­ ond building toextend and modify McGill’s facilities. The enterprise, named the ‘Fieldhouse Project,’ is still in it’s embryonic stages due mostly to bureaucratic prob­ lems with the city. There is however, op­ timism that it will eventually go ahead.

The Fieldhouse would consist of a 200 m indoor track, 5 international squash courts, a basketball/volleyball court, 2 indoor tennis courts, a racket-ball court and various other studios and offices. Also proposed is a sports science center to ad­ vance sports medicine at McGill.

This would be a huge project of 65 000 sq ft, to be constructed in the open area behind Currie Gym. A two-year old esti­ mate put the cost at $10 million, but with inflation, $2 million more could be added

with no approval of actual building seen in the near future. So what’s the hold up?

Why is everyone waiting for things to become more expensive?

The problem lies in the fact that the piece of opened land behind the Gym is jointly owned by McGill and the city. It is claimed by the city that the land is a park area, putting a ban on building there. While negotiations between McGill and the city have been taking place there has been no consensus between the two as to the future of the site.

If everything does go ahead it will no doubt benefit the sports program im­ mensely. There are sports such as tennis which have lost their team status mainly due to the lack of fascilities, and this would give them a chance to complete again on an inter-collegate level.

Mr. Dubeau, the project director, as­ sured the Tribune that the media would be immediately informed if progress is made but fornow, we can only selfishly hope that our generation of McGill students will feel the benefits of Fieldhouse Project.
