In the end, Open House resembled an interpretive dance o f the Tibetan Book ofthe Dead. At M cG ill, after all, signs o f life are quickly punished.

The trouble started on Friday after­ noon at the Mushroom Tent. A group

A SU S: g o o d co rp o rate citizen s?

BY ROBERT STEINER The Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) “saved” last The group, funded by McGill Arts and Science students, spent $10,000 to host a free concert on the lower campus Friday night making it Invitation ‘89’s largest sponsor.

ASUS President Jen Fraser said Friday’s Razorbacks concert was paid for with lastyear’s revenues from the Arts Building cafeteria. But she added that CVC still owes ASUS $16,000 from the cafteria’s second semester earnings.

Other companies, including Molson’s, IBM, Provigo, Banque Laurentienne, Prudential Insurance and Reader’s Digest all donated be­ tween $500 and $10,000, Young said.

“Because the university cut our funding, we had to go shopping for sponsors,” he explained.

“From what I understood, ASUS was eager to get its name out into Montréal. They wanted to be good corporate citizens.”

At a meeting this Tuesday, ASUS executives plan to ask councillors to support more off-campus publicity with ads in Preview Montréal Magazine, in exchange for discount movie and theatre tickets to be distributed among Arts and Science students.

ExpiainedFraser: “We want to get people into the ballroom for our events, so that we can cover the costs of holding them.

The Preview Montréal ads will cost $ 1,800 a year compared to the S 10,000 we spent on campus ads last year.”

Similar av mpts to promote ASUS off campus met with stiff resis­ tance fror 's Councillors last year.

“Lots ot us felt that the ASUS’s first obligation was to be a responsible student group, not a responsible corporate citizen,” one •said. ' .......... . ................

Current ASUS Vice President (Arts) Leila Kablili expects similar debate when the group’s executive meets Tuesday.

“No one really argued about financing the Razorbacks concert be­ cause it was a decision taken over the summer,” she explained.

“People arc likely to take a long hard look at our other proposals when we meet again.”

$61 Million “at work” for McGill Sixty-one of the $77.3 Million raised by the Alma Mater Society during a four-year fundraising campaign is “at work” on campus, McGill’s Deputy Director of Development Tom Thompson said yes­ terday.

The society is holding a further $6 Million in contributions until campus groups are ready to receive them.

The campaign, which ended in 1987, has already funded 25 named chairs, a sports-medicine complex due to open at the gym by spring 1991 and library computerization. This spring, students renewed their $4 million pledge to help build a new athletics complex.

Chaplaincy fights for safe sex McGill’s Catholic Chaplaincy last week pledged to join other campus groups in their fight for safe sex. The Chaplaincy plans to prepare a pamphlet entitled “Sexual Wisdom” for distribution by November 1.

The pamphlet would discuss the “unsafe emotional or psychological side effects” of some sexual activity.

“There are people who worry that ‘safe sex’ focuses too much on what is safe physiologically,” the Newman Centre’s Father Bob Moran explained.

STD Awareness Week begins today.

T-Shirt season on Cold temperatures have not stopped two McGill undergrads from launching the campus’ lucrative T-shirt season.

Already one design - front: “Concordia Sucks”, back: “...but Queen ’s swallows” - has earned designer P.J. Murphy enough money to pay for his fall tuition. One wearer explained that when the shirt’s stocks went low people started asking him to rent his shirt for the McGill - Queen’s CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

o f musicians from Continuing Studies had expected to entertain the crowd.

Instead, they vied for attention at a burger stand, as the wind scattered their scores. A DJ started blasting Soul II Soul, pumping the student crowd into a frenzy. Susan, a violinist and M cG ill grad from “long ago - in the Seventies,” was lost in the anarchy.

“W e were hoping for a different at­ mosphere,” she complained.

Som e were happy. “The beer’s cold and rolling,” said organizer Michael Levitt. A M olson truck destined for M cG ill had crashed, spilling 200 cases o f beer onto the street and preventing Montréal from showing up. Custom­ ers were m ostly students, save for a thin, middle-aged junkie who sat alone with beer and 'snuff. M olson Dry sales were up, along with SSMU-banned Coors; volunteers were selling some o f over 100 pre-ban cases left in stor­ age. It was spillage city - 1 collected 8 free beers in moments.

Nicknam es for the Tent were every­ where: the Condom, the Diaphragm, the Peyote Button, the UFO, and my favourite - the Zit. W elcom e or not, it was indeed a giant blem ish on our lawn.

Invitation 89 staffers had organized excellent forums - but who was watch­ ing? Only five non-students attended a “Juvenile Crime in Montréal” sem i­ nar.

It was the rain’s fault. Organiser Jennifer Fraser blamed attendance on a distant event: “It’s that stupid hurri­ cane.” Our Anglo island would stay that way, it seemed.

At night, the Lower Campus was not stylish - a huge teepee, cold and muddy - but here I found Director Drew Young. Y oung’s office in Burnside Hall was like an 80s Bunker, with cellular phones strewn about like bodies.

Y oung had taken this job six months ago. H e had been awake for 4 0 hours now . A s w e talked, a city-student crowd watched a free concert. Christ!

W as this drunkenness our only com ­ mon ground?

On Saturday, the cold was brutal.

This was a “family day,” and families were strolling among the departmen­ tal exhibits. The engineers’ ironic “Artificial Intelligence” booth had m erit Another booth summed up M cGill: “ School o f Human Commu­ nication Disorders”. Attendance im­ proved in the Chemistry and Architec­ ture departments, but Arts Building volunteers joked about their meager crowd.

At the abortion debate, students and others lambasted anti-abortion speaker Edith Humphrey, while one suppor­ tive, if odd, woman displayed a model o f alO -w eek foetus (how tasteful!).

The debate was encouraging - it seemed w e could entertain guests without first getting them drunk.

The M cGarrigle Sisters capped the event perfectly. Young made some hurried remarks; then the tent was empty. Montréal vanished o ff to wherever it lives, M cGill was empty, and Open House 89 was history.

G iven the abrupt ending and poor attendance, why do w e bother? M cGill isn’treally into sharing or cooperation.

Save for Open House, Montréal and M cG ill don't bother each other.. It’s like seeing the parents: they’re nice people - once every three years...

A n op en letter to R o b ert B o u ra ssa Yo Bob. I wanted to be among the first toi congratulate you on your success­ ful campaign, and your re-election/defeat. It was a brilliant campaign, run by a man who obviously knows what he is doing.

We all know that government is supposed to be large and confusing, and its mission is to lead the confused. Y ou have done a betterjob than anyone else in recent mcmoiy in confusing the people. Congratula­ tions.

For instance, there is no one who could have come up with such an effective policy on the language issue. The divide and conquer policy applied to perfection! You managed not only to divide and isolate the anglophones and francophones, but you even had them asking their pet dogs for advice. Good job! Thé work of a master.

Then there was the topic o f higher education. This time you bor­ rowed a page from your friend Brian Mulrcmey, hoping that if you closed your eyes and wished really hard, the problem would go away.

Of course it didn’t, but it was proof positive that you are indeed a pro­ fessional Brian would be proud.

Unfortunately, not all campaigns are perfect. And yes, I am sad to say you did make some roistakes. Under normal circumstances this wouldn ’c bother me much, in fact I probably wouln’t lose any sleep, but you were so close to perfection and you missed it That’s right Bob, you fouled up that strike thing pretty badly.

Give those hospital workers credit, though. They were fairly crafty, and hid their real intentions very w ell But* Bob, you are a man who showed all of the traits of a classic politician during the rest of the campaign, the promises of patronage, the kissing of the babies, and reminding the anglophone community that you are good for them. You should have seen it coming. I mean the real reason that they (the hospital workers) were on strike.

They told the media that they wanted an increase in pay, job security , and better working conditions and you believed them. What ever hap­ pened to that old political stand by of reading between the lines?

The real reason that they were out was that they wanted to make use of the last few days of summer - play baseball, work on their tans, etc.

If you don’t believe me, check the papers. During their strike every day that they were out it was sunny, you didn’t think it was a coincidence that every time they called a “truce” the weather forecast called either for rain, or partly cloudy skies, did you?

The final clinch should have been last Friday when they called off their strike - a truce of sorts. Hurricane Hugo was headed straight for Montréal. OK, it had been downgraded to a tropical storm, but we were still supposed to get five centimeters of rain. Not exactly sun tanning weather. What? You forgot to check the forecast? How could you?

Hospital workers 1, Bob 0.

Bob, you still there? Bob? Now Bob, relax, you’ve been in the game for a long time, and you should have been able to reconize the situtation without my help.

However, should these illegal strikes ever happen again let me give you some advice.

What you should do is to offer them a raise of one or two percent, the price of sun tan lotion will be going up with the new general sales tax, and then promise them that it will only be sunny if they stay on the job.

If you are worried about making that promise, don’t worry, you can promise just about anything and the people will believe you. After all, you are their king, and you once upon a time you did promise all of us bilingual signs.

Now Bob, you’re tired, go gel some sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning. your friend.

WITH PAUL HORWITZ • Let me just put it this way: we’re doomed. I was having cof­ fee with Jennifer, the winner of the McGill Most Average Student award for 1989, and we ended up talking about the myth of student involvement. As I told her, there is a running legend on campus that there exist real, almost normal students who are said to spend time between classes doing things that are not fun.. .without pay.

Jennifer knew about these things, and she was not happy about it.

“Okay, so, like, dont’t get me wrong, y’know? I mean, like, I think McGill is really neat and everything. Like, the people are all well-dressed, and there are all these neat prelaw guys, and the campus is really nice, right? I mean, I’m even learning to speak French y’know, like, “Can I have a crois­ sant,” and all that.

“But, like, I’m not quite sure about this ‘student involvement’ thing. I mean, activities night is so grody! All these people running around joining clubs and, like, sweating even though it’s not To­ tal Workout. Like, I’m sorry, but no thanks!”

She left to meet a bunch of friends in her Introduction to Conformism class, and I went back to the Union Building to contemplate hanging myself.

There are too many Jennifers (and an equal or superior amount of Brads, or whatever they’re

• Still, all is not slavish partici­ pation. It is equally important for each person to have their own ‘stupid time’ - that is, aside from school Yes, we all need that time to be alone, to take care of our­ selves for once, to engage in a complete lack of self-analysis... in fact, to engage in an almost com­ plete lack of consciousness.

What better for that than televi­ sion? Yes, it’s the Great Equalizer, an incredible neon local anaes­ thetic. And just as we celebrate the New Year in January, so television celebrates its new year in Septem­ ber (no, I don’t mean Rosh Hashanah - they’re similar, but television doesn’t wear a skull-cap). Yes, it’s the new season, and once again we’re faced with proof that the summer sun in Burbank causes sun stroke in screenwriters. I’ve al­ ways been a big TV fan, but these three words, the title of an upcom­ ing NBC movie, do tend to recon­ firm my fantasies of the Apocalypse: Coeds at Sea. Per­ haps the most fun game involving the new season is “Spot the Bizarre Logic Stretch.” Watch Cosby's Lisa Bonet, who still looks 15, return to the show with a husband and daughter! Watch Doogie Howser, M.D. try to convince us that any legal authorities would allow some pimply 16-year-old to practice medicine - and still make him take high school bio! Watch as Chicken Soup pretends that Jackie Mason is funny!

Or how about this one: a writer gets paid thousands of dollars a week to turn out shows that are, except for a few genuinely enjoy­ able shows, fodder for vegetables...oops, sorry - that one’s a documentary.

" A w i m p f r o m t i m e to t i m e " Two weeks ago you published an article about Francois Chevalier who is currently running for MNA on be­ half of the Green Party. J. Macbrides [sic] article on Chevalier was not a fair évalutation [sic] of the Green Party and its beliefs but rather an irrelevant personal attack. Would she dare to write such an article about a Liberal or other “ established” party canidate?

The Green Party has existed in Canada for only six years and is accus­ tomed to this type of journalistic cov­ erage. Journalists often choose to overlook important political issues in favour of trite criticism of the “hippie idealists.” Jessica MacBride [sic] felt Chevalier sounded like a “ wimp” over the phone. Perhaps she should listen to what the political candidate is saying rather than the way he or she is saying it. We hope she understands that the Green Party believes in Ecofeminist Principles concerned with not agres­

page 4

sive, dominating confrontational [sic] attitudes and methodology but rather consensus forming cooperative means of achieving goals.

Mr. Chevalier himselfhas responded to the phone interview, and, I quote, “ She expected me to be aggressive and dominate her to overcome her reserva­ tions. I don’ t try to dominate people and the Green Party doesn’t either.

The men in the Green Party have to try to live Ecofeminist principles [sic] and one of the consequences of this is to be called a wimp from time to time.”

If anyone reading this is truly inter­ ested in learning about what the Green Party stands for they are most wel­ come to come to the first meeting of the Young Greens of McGill, sincerly [sic] yours, D avid H artly U2 Steven Peck U3 Y ou ng G reens o f M cG ill

BY BEN ROVET Government may ignore a peti­ tion signed by 16,000 Montréal university students protesting the possibility of a tuition fee hike, a Ministry of Education official says.

“The Ministry would consider all remarks and comments pre­ sented,” Education Ministry spokesman Luc Rhéaume told the Tribune Friday. “I don’t think it will change any decision.”

Rhéaume added that the Pre­ mier’s decision not to promise a tuition freeze in a new term would not automatically mean a tuition fee raise. Any increase in tuition rates would have to be decided by the provincial cabinet, he said.

Explained Rhéaume: “Increas­ ing tuition fees is one way to help with education funding, but it is not the only way. Even if fees were to be increased, the increase would not occur before next year.”

Rhéaume’s comments came mo­ ments after student leaders from

o v e d

Montréal’s four universities an­ nounced their anti-tuition hike petition was completed.

The petition coalition was the first effort to unite members of Quebec’s two normally hostile student lobby groups. Concordia and UQAM leaders, whose cam­ puses belong to the Association Nationale des Etudiant(e)s du Québec (ANEEQ), hope one day to abolish all post-CEGEP tuition fees.

McGill’s Student Society, on the other hand, would accept a tuition fee increase if it is accompanied by commensurate increases in student loans and bursaries.

Rhéaume said that the Liberal government does wish to guaran­ tee the right of all students to re­ ceive post-secondary education.

Fox is the attitude of the Minister of Education Claude Ryan.

The coalition said Ryan should stop playing “grandfather” to the primary school students and ad­ dress the tuition issue. SSMU Vice President (External Affairs) John Fox asked, “What does that tell you about the Minister of Educa­ tion if he doesn’t even talk to the students?”

If the provincial government ig­ nores student demands, coalition leaders have predicted a range of protests. On October 18 a student parade involving all the coalition universities is being planned.

SSMU Council will be discussing this demonstration and its tuition fee policy at a General Assembly on October 11.

“Something must be terribly wrong if the universities can come together for the first time in seven years,” said Fox.

Despite their uniqueentertainment value and meticulous craftsmanship, these shorts rarely get the exposure they deserve. This is why collec­ tions such as Festival of Animation should not be missed- it’s an excep­ tional opportunity to view the best of the lot.

There’s nothing artistically special within the dim scenery or the plot; it’s another familiar story.

But even with all these trite char­ acteristics going against it, Sea of Love is a worthwhile film. The redeeming factors? Three colorful actors in very unique roles.

Sherman (John Goodman), the two proceed to track down the killer.

Their bar room interviews in pursuit of the murderer are both funny and emotional, and the scene is one of the film’s high points. Eventually, Frank meets up with Helen (Ellen Barkin), a sexy mystery woman whose “animal attraction” draws Frank into a lustful relationship.

Helen eventually turns out to be a leading suspect in the case, and Frank does his best to ignore the obvious evidence.

The film continues in a predict­ able fashion: They have sex, they fight, they have more sex, they are falling in love...they share them­ selves emotionally. Helen, who we are meant to despise from first glimpse, becomes a more under­ standable character, and we begin to feel for her.

Black Rain is about Nick Conklin (Michael Douglas) an intense, New York detective, who along with his partner Charlie Vincent (Andy Gar­ cia) must delivera powerful killer to the police in Osaka, Japan. The New York detectives land up in the middle of a dangerous crime war. Feeling helpless and con­ fused, confined by a foreign land with different laws, but com­ pelled by a sense of duty, Nick and Charlie must get the help of Osaka police detective Masahiro Matsumoto (Ken Takakura).

Nick also tries to get some coop­ eration from the only other American he meets in Japan. This fellow citizen is Joyce Kingsley (Kate Capshaw) who works in a Japanese hostess bar.

The acting in this movie does not wear thin. Competent per­ formances from Douglas and Takatura are to be expected.

“Now these artists are pretty hot. Their works are in demand around the world,” she explained, adding that it was “very very difficult to get the works we got”.

During the two years the exhibit took to plan, Blanchette and Faust had to convince both private collectors and the artists’ agents to have their works shown in Montréal. Some of the paintings now on exhibit are insured to values over $200,000.

Blanchette hopes the exhibit will strengthen ties between artists in Canada and West Germany.

“Canadian art is being exported more than ever now, and much of it goes to West Germany,” she ex­ plained.

“The art sectors in our countries share a special relationship.”

BY AUBREY KASSIRER Quick question: where can you get free pizza, beer, and ice cream, plus the chance for free meals, tshirts, furniture, and concert tick­ ets? As a hint, all you have to do is lie down. Someone else will do the rest for you. The answer is the Red Cross blood drive, all this week in the ballroom on the third floor of the Union building.

Each person gives about onethird of a litre of blood (1 pint), or one-fifteenth of the average body content. Last year, 1988 (doesn’t that seem like one hell of a coinci­ dence?) pints were collected; however, the Red Cross expects 2200 pints from a five day drive at a school the size of McGill.

But Blood Drive Co-chairs Teddy Lim and Alice Holman have

set an optimistic goal o f3000 pints this year. That is how many people have to spend thirty minutes over the course of a week. Thirty min­ utes, twenty of which you spend lying down to give someone who needs it a pint of blood.

All donations are put into the Red Cross blood bank, which serves seventy-nine hospitals in Quebec. These hospitals have a total demand of nine hundred pints per day.

So, beyond philanthropy, what’s in it for you? Well, for starters, everyone who donates blood gets free pizza from Gert’s and free ice cream from Swensen’s. The first 2400 get a free beer from Labatt, and the first 2500 get a free meal at the Peel Pub. Everyone is eligible for numerous raffles and door prizes, which can win you IKEA furniture, t-shirts, coupons for

Donald K. Donald tickets (Mon­ tréal promotors for FYC, Elton John, andjust about everyoneelse), and various free dinners and brunches around Montréal.

The bulk of the money to run the blood drive comes from the Stu­ dents’ Society. Beyond this, the rest was up to Lim and Holman.

The co-chairs, both volunteers, have been working since early July.

They have spent up to fours hours each day organising the blood drive. The majority of their sum­ mer hours were spent seeking sponsorships and preparing their promotional materials.

As well, volunteer letters were sent to people specifically involved with the Students’ Society. Karen Diaz, program coordinator for the Students’ Society, acted in an advisory capacity as school started

BY JOSH FELLMAN There is absolutely no risk of contracting a disease through giv­ ing blood. No doubt, there are risks involved with receiving blood by transfusion. There are several blood-borne diseases. There are tests in place for some of the dis­ eases, but not all of them.

The best known is AIDS. Test­ ing for antibodies to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS is now universal.

The ELIZA screen test, combined with confirmation by the Western Blot test catches virtually every­ thing. HIV II, an as yet rare strain of the virus will most likely be caught by the ELIZA test, and a specific test is on the horizon. An HIV antigen test to detect the pres­ ence of the virus where no antibod­ ies have been produced, is also near but has been rejected as un­ necessary under normal circum­ stances as antibodies occur almost universally.

There is a six week “window” period between exposure to the virus and the body’s production of antibodies. The greatest risk of tainted blood comes from people who may have come in recent contact with the virus from donat­ ing blood. It is not a large risk and the odds of contracting AIDS through a blood transfusion have page 8

been estimated at 1 in 500,000 roughly the same as the chance being struck by lightning, twice, in one lifetime. The Red Cross acts to further control this risk by giving pre-donation questionaires and, by a heightened public awareness.

There is currently no test for Hepatitis C. This disease has a very long incubation period and although many of those infected do not get ill, others can de­ velop chronic liver disease 10 to 20 years down the road. A recently developed 75-80% accurate test that will be available later this year, and will probably be adopted by the Red Cross. At the moment the chances of infection with Hepatitis C are in the 2-3% range.

Hepatitis B and Syphilis are both tested for. The organism that causes Syphilis cannot survive for long periods a cool temperatures. Al­ most all blood at the Red Cross is stored for at least a day at 4°C and there have not even been a “hand­ ful” of cases of transmission by transfusion in the last 40 years.

The chance of catching any of these diseases is small. If a tranfusion is necessary, the largest risk is not getting a transfusion. You can give blood to yourself which is ef­ fective only for a very small group of potential recipients. A donor has blood taken, stored, and returned

when needed, usually for surgery.

The specific need for this blood must be known in advance.

While you most likely will never have to worry about this. But for those in the Canadian Red Cross, these problems are an everyday concern. Blood testing for the Montréal area alone ate up $1.3 million of a $13 million local operating budget for the 190,000 units of blood collected. As a matter of policy, the head office in Ottawa won’t say how many people have sued them for receiving tainted blood, how many have won, or how much has been awarded. There have been lawsuits. The problem is not on the same scale as in the U.S. which has a large for-profit blood industry in which blood banks often pay donors.

Dr. Francine Decarré, in charge of the Montréal Red Cross, admits her job description has changed, “The emphasis these days is on HIV and not on red blood reactions which were once the biggest prob­ lem.” All the attention as “has made people aware of what blood is.

Physicians and patients have be­ come aware that receiving blood is a risk. Blood is not ketchup.”

There is now less of a tendency to treat blood as some sort of miracle liquid and these days “nobody is transfused for nothing.”

and the two chairs began to organ­ ise the volunteers. Holman says that about eighty volunteers are being utilised as area coordinators and day coordinators, as well as many involved in helping the nurses, staffing the registration desk, and running back and forth between the radio station (CKUT) and the ballroom.

People tell me they are scared to

give blood, and I sympathise with them, because I have never given before either. But I figure, all I have to do is lie down and take a ten minute nap. By then, the giv­ ing will be done and I can start taking advantage of all the free­ bies. And if this is your first time, you can find out your blood type.

Come Monday, the twenty-fifth, at ten, I will be giving blood. How

about you?

R e d C ro ss: a h is t o r y of honour

BY MATT PRICE With each consecutive war that has shaken the planet, we have surprassed ourselves in the effi­ ciency and brutality with which we destroy our enemies. Fortu­ nately this macabre ‘progress’ has also spawned medical advance­ ments and with them an organiza­ tion committed to “amelioration of the condition of the wounded and sick in armies in the field.”

During the Italian War of 1859, a young Swiss, Henri Durant was horrified by the carnage he ob­ served in the course of a battle.

From that moment, he devoted his life to the provision of medical treatment on the battlefield and the “betterment” of the conditions of war.

In 1863 Durant established the International Committee of the Red Cross. The group was composed of Swiss citizens who worked to commitnation states to certain rules of battle. One such rule was the neutrality of medical teams. Groups associated with the organization adopted the ensign of a red cross on a white background, the rever­ sal of the Swiss flag.

By 1919 the movement had expanded across national borders, and the league of Red Cross socie­ ties was formed to coordinate na­ tional efforts. In 1949 with the signing of the Geneva convention by the majority of existing nations the Red Cross was entrenched as the highest deliberating body on human rights. Although they have representation from each signatory, they owe no obligation to any of them.

Its efforts for decent medical treatment on the battlefield and the

improved treatment of prisoners of war have been in large measure successful. The organization has won the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions,in 1917,1945 and 1963, years in which the rest of the world was in utter chaos.

Due to the efforts of Major George Stirling Ryerson, the Ca­ nadian branch of the Red Cross was officially recognized in 1909, although it was still considered to be an arm of the British Red Cross.

It was not until 1927 that the Inter­ national body granted it independ­ ent status.

Today the Canadian Red Cross has ten provincial and 100 local branches with the head office in Toronto. It is not administered by government officials nor com­ pletely funded by the government since it must maintain its interna­ tional legitimacy and independ­ ence.

The principal peace-time tasks adopted by the Canadian Red Cross have been the provision of blood to hospitals and the teaching of medi­ cal practices. Its blood program has historically been limited by the hesitation of the population to give blood and recently this has been compounded by AIDS paranoia.

The founder of the Red Cross, Dunant, held the philosophy that humans are inherently evil and will never cease to go to war. The only course of action is to help alleviate the suffering. Since we have grown up in a time of relative peace, we have not had the chance to satisfy our sanguinary urges by shedding blood on the battlefield; an alter­ native exists in the upcoming McGill Blood Drive at which we can shed some of our evil blood for a cause more than worth our time.

BY GALLAGHER MACKAY As well as the global energy conference, for which the Cana­ dian government spent $750,000 on a pavillion that will have been dismantled by the time you read this, Montréal hosted a conference on alternative energy this week.

One man addressed both groups: Amoury Lovins. He also made a stop at McGill, addressing two hundred people at the first Québec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) general interest meeting.

Lovins is the co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Center for En­ ergy in Colorado. His work ad­ dresses today’s energy dilemmas by asking some basic but uncom­ mon questions. Rather than look­ ing at today’s crises and asking “where are we going to get more fuel?” he asks “what do we use our energy for, and what is cheapest, including so-called ‘external’

BY CHARLIE QUINN Are the leaders of the world energy community finally waking up to realize some of the adverse affects their energy policies can have have on the environment?

Some of the leaders in the field might still be groggy, but most are starting to stumble out of bed. The Fourteenth Congress of the World Energy Congress, held in Mon­ treal last week, served as an alarm clock for roughly 4000 scientists, academics, industry leaders, and politicians who attended.

Though the alarm may not have been as loud as some environmen­ talists might have liked, some of the topics that were discussed throughout the week (the Green­ house Effect, the future of nuclear power, and fossil fuels) must have been encouraging coming from a group that maintains a reputation for being ecologically uncaring.

In the keynote address on the environment, Lee Thomas, head of the Environmental Protection Agency for four years underRonald Reagan, referred to the Greenhouse Effect as today’s most important environmental issue. Thomas stated that its implications “demand the highest priority attention of the world energy community.”

costs?” By external costs, he means those costs that the power produc­ ers are not responsible for paying, which get absorbed most often by taxpayers. The best known of these costs is pollution.

He stresses that energy saved is invisible in the general accounting of energy production. But over the past fifteen years there have been greater energy gains from conser­ vation than from any new source.

The United Slates spends between eleven and twelve percent of its GNP on energy: conservation has therefore “been saving a (U.S.) deficiteveiy year.”The other major growth field has been so-called ‘alternative energy,’ a category hidden in government statistics as “hydro and others” because it is “embarassing how much better these sources are doing than nu­ clear energy.”

Much of Lovins’ work has been

c lo c k

Other issues that Thomas says the community must face are nu­ clear power, oil and gas, acid rain, and urban smog.

Most of the other speakers agreed, at least in part, with the environmental issues outlined by Thomas. However, unlike Thomas, most seemed to think that it was more important to look beyond the problems and try to find solutions.

Hanik Anger-Hannsen of Nor­ way warned that a solution “can only be brought about by a funda­ mental change in the technologies for energy production and con­ sumption.” In order for this to happen there must be some form of global agreement on how to recon­ cile the goals of increasing eco­ nomic activity and improving the environment at the same time.”

However, Anger-Hannsen admits that “there is little consensus on how this transformation in tech­ nologies can best be brought about.”

One path to this solution, ac­ cording to Anger-Hannsen is to investigate ‘clean coal’ technolo­ gies’ impact on theenvironment, if coal use continues to increase.

Carbon dioxide, which is released as a by-product when coal is burned, is a major cause of the Greenhouse effect

S T D aw aren ess

BY KIRSTEN MYERS “A lot of people have no idea what STD stands for,” said McGill nurse Lori McCurdy. The reality behind that comment is the reason for McGill’s fourth annual STDSexually Transmitted DiseasesWeek.

“Many students tend to think ‘I’m invincible’ or T sleep with clean people’. What they’re not aware of is that not even condoms prevent all STD’s, such as herpes or crab lice,” McCurdy said.

Sponsored by McGill Health Services, STD Week is designed to educate the community about the symptoms of sexually trans­ mitted diseases and the methods of testing and treating them. As well, they are working to promote a more open dialogue about what many

find to be an uncomfortable sub­ ject of conversation. An informa­ tional display will be appearing at a different location around campus each day this week, featuring vid­ eos and literature about STD’s, free condoms, buttons, and a well informed staff to answer questions on the topic.

“At all times there will be a doctor and/or a nurse on hand, as well as volunteers from The Com­ ité SIDA-AIDS De Montréal.” said McCurdy. “Hopefully it won’t be intimidating, since it is studentrun,” she added.

The display will be showing the videos AIDS: Changing the Rules, Condom Talk, and an exerpt from David Suzuki’s The Nature of Things. In addition, Rolling Stones tickets will be awarded to whom­ ever is able to “guess how many jelly beans are in the condom.”

T H E S P O R T S P IT

BY AARON MARGOUS Intangibles. Eleven letters that describe exactly what the McGill Redmen football team are in dire need of if they harbour any hopes of making the playoffs this season.

The first three regular season games have highlighted a Redmen team that lacks discipline on the field and at certain points, a proper sense of direction off it Of the two games McGill has lost, penalties have killed them.

With the Redmen in front of Ot­ tawa early in the second quarter last Saturday, quarterback Yanik Préfontaine flips a screen pass to Gerry Kill. Kill, following his blocks nicely manages to find some open field. As he’s just about to break away a needless clip is

thrown by a Redmen blocker, ten yards BEHIND Kill. How far was Kill's run? About sixty yards. All called back.

With McGill down by nine points late in the Ottawa game the Redmen have the Gee Gees backed up on their own one yard line, second and ten yards to go. Next play, a pass interference call against Michel Leveille that gives Ottawa the ball at their own thirty. Game over.

In their first game of the year McGill was penalized sixteen times, against Concordia two weeks ago, twelve times, last Sat­ urday eleven infractions. Why have the Redmen won only once (against Carleton,ateam even the Engineer­ ing flag footballers could give a good game) and lost twice? Look no further than the referee’s back pocket.

Another reason has to be the questionable play selection of of­ fensive co-ordinator Ray Lalonde and head coach Charlie Baillie.

It’s true that each opponent poses different problems and strategies must be altered somewhat. I be­ lieve good teams win because they utilize their strengths and worry more about their own abilities rather than their opponents’.

Case in point, the running game.

W

F itn e s s

At times Gerry Ifill has looked lost on the field. The other starting running back, Wally Sordo, has been very effective. Going into last weekends game Sordo had run for 120 yards on only seventeen carries.

The result? Sordo touches the ball six times and is completely taken out of his game. Instead the Redmen continue to run Gerry Ifill sweeps, which remain ineffective after four games.

The defense, for the most part, have played very well. Lineman Paul Kerr has terrorized opposing quarterbacks, and the linebackers have been solid. With the excep­ tion of some heart wrenching pen­ alties, Leveille, Eric Toupin and the secondary have been adequate.

The problem on defense seems to be an inability to correct them­ selves when an opponent uses a play effectively on them. In the Ottawa game it took McGill six tries to properly defend against a direct snap to the slotback who would line up beside the quarter­ back in the shotgun. Hell, Ottawa went into the same formation every time. By the sixth play even the beer vendor could see it coming.

There was someone asleep on the sideline.

Finally, McGill appears to have a terminal case of bad luckitis.

WRFC rolls to victory

BY LINDA MILLER On Sunday, the McGill women’s Rugby football club travelled down Sherbrooke St. to open their regu­ lar season against the Concordia Stingers. Not only did the Martlets weather Hugo, they also swatted the Stingers, shutting them out 14-

0.

The Martlets dominated every aspect of the match, never giving the Concordia backs enough time or room to run with the ball. The Stingers were forced to kick away on nearly every possession.

The first Martlet goal came early in the first half, as Michelle Wal­ ters ran in untouched to place the ball for a four point try. Linda Miller completed the two-point conversion to make the score 6-0.

Near the end of the first half, Heidi Hollinger scored to increase the margin to 10-0.

In the first half, the McGill backs controlled the running game. But in the second half, Concordia be­ gan to win more scrums. This however, did not affect the Mar­ tlets’ ability to penetrate the Con­ cordia zone, since the Martlet for­ wards were quick to regain control of the ball.

Forward Karine Morin com­ pleted McGill’s third and final try

of the match, fighting and stiff­ arming every inch of the way. This season has been a great success so far. At least thirty women have been attending every practice, which is great for team spirit. With only 20 players to dress for each game, the practices have been in­ tense. The veterans are predicting this year’s team to be one of the best First year coach Steve Kaplan has been the backbone behind the team’s enthusiasm. In past years the rookies would have had great difficulty getting playing time. But the new coach’s philosophy is that anyone who comes to practice and works hard deserves a spot on the roster. This way, everyone tries hard knowing that they have a chance to play, and does not quit or get discouraged. Last year’s team organized a trip to Northern Eu­ rope during Easter to gain some playing experience. The veterans are using the experience thus gained to bring some extra insight to the game. Last week’s win was the result of a lot of hard work on and off the field, considering the small amount of preparation the team had. Hopefully, this will set the pace for the rest of the season. This Sunday the Martlets will face both Champlain College and Concor­ dia on the Lower Campus Field.

BY JAMES STEWART Hurricane Hugo swept through the Carolinas in the U.S. last week and it almost was a factor in McGill’s 26-17 loss to the Ottawa Gee-Gees Saturday afternoon at Molson Stadium.

The Ottawa Gee-Gees were missing six offensive starters and had to make a decision last week at practice, Ottawa head coach Jim Daley told a mini-news confer­ ence after the game. The decision was to go with the pass instead of relying on the run as they usually do. That strategy paid off with an impressive victory but Daley admits it was tense for a while.

“Hurricane Hugo scared us. We had no running game but injuries

Then, late in the 3rd quarter McGill decided to gamble on a 3rd and 2 from the Ottawa 4 2 .1 must confess that many of us were wondoing about the logic of this call, but Gerry Ifill quickly made us forget with a 42 yard run for the major that electrified the crowd.

The 4th quarter started off with Baird’s one yard plunge. Then just 2:41 later the 6’3 2201b QB connected with Brett Wilson for a 33 yard score and his convert made it 26-17 for the Gee-Gees. Any thoughts of a McGill comeback were halted at Ottawa’s 23 yard line when Chris Bantan picked off a tipped Préfontaine pass late in the 4th quarter.

McGill plays Concordia again on Saturday across town at Loyola Stadium. Obviously, it’s a cru­ cial game for the Redmen if they want to keep play-off hopes alive.

Anything less than a win will get the fat lady out singing.

The Redmen even teased us all with thoughts of victory in the second half by taking a 17-12 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter. Chuck Petipas kicked a 27 yard field goal while Ottawa’s Baird hit Mike Prentice for a TD and it was 12-10 Gee-Gees.

McGill QB Yanik Préfontaine has been taking a lot of heat in the media for the Redmen’s problems this year. Jim Daley, however, said “...Préfontaine....he can play quar­ terback”.

well and even run. Fuller only ran for his life.

McGill’s chances to make the playoffs seem bleak. The coaching staff has to start exploiting its strengths rather than worrying so much about what the other team is doing. If not, and if the Redmen lose this Saturday to Concordia, we can all turn our attention back to school work and Saturday after­ noons at McLennan-Redpath.
