Concordia ''outraged'' by funding policy

B oard of Governors Chairman Andre Ger­vais and Rector Patrick

Kenniff have asked higher edu­cation and science minister Claude Ryan to attend an emergency meeting of the board to explain his govern­ment's about-face on a promise to correct Concordia's chronic underfunding.

In a telegram sent to Ryan and Premier Robert Bourassa on Monday, Gervais and Ken­niff expressed "exasperation and outrage" at the treatment Concordia is receiving from Quebec City.

Figures quoted by Ryan last week at a briefing for the CREPUQ Executive Commit­tee (La Conference des recteurs

et des principaux des universi­tes du Quebec) show that the distribution of $40 million in new funds being proposed by the higher education minister will result in a further decrease in Concordia's relative share of the base funding available for all Quebec universities.

The Concordia telegram pointed out that the criteria used in this present exercise to determine Concordia's share of the extra money (announced by Finance Minister . Gerard D. Levesque in last April's budget speech) do not meet the govern­ment's stated purpose of giving priority to the needs of institu­tions most severely affected by historic underfunding Concordia being the prime

example. Although Ryan has again

promised that a more equitable funding formula will be imple­mented two years from now, the telegram said that this latest government betrayal has caused "profound mistrust" about the sincerity of Ryan's commitment to correct Con­cordia's severe underfunding. · Expressing their "bitter dis­appointment" at the Minister's latest funding proposal, Con­cordia's top two administrators said that the proposal is in jarring contradiction to Ryan's oft-quoted acknowledgement of the justice of Concordia's case. They urged him to meet with the Board of Governors to explain what measures he is

considering to address Con­cordia's pressing financial problems.

Maurice Cohen, Vice-Rec­tor Institutional Relations and Finance, has already begun a series of briefings throughout the University to explain the import of the government's latest funding moves. Tuesday he met with the five academic deans and the University's three associate vice-rectors .

Turning horror into a learning experience Armenian donation to Genocide Studies Institute further expands its scope

by Gordon Ritchie

Concordia 's recently found­ed Montreal Institute for Gen­ocide Studies has received its first donation of books and monographs thanks to a contri-

bution from Montreal's Arme­nian community and the Paris­based Centre de Recherches sur la Diaspora Armenienne.

A total of 65 volumes depict-

ing the history of the Armenian people and that of the genocide were presented last week. They included soine of the earliest accounts of the Armenian gen-

ocide of 1915 that have been recently reprinted.

"Essentially what they have given us is a very good addition to our existing collection on the Armenian genocide of 1915 that consists of books of docu­ments in French and English, as well as scholarly mono­graphs," explained History Professor Frank Chalk, a co­director of the Institute with Kurt J onassohn of the Sociolo­gy department.

"These are very valuable because they help us in the way of providing historical evidence and also they give us a chance to study how the interpretation of the Armenian genocide has developed since 1915 as well as to look at, again, what hap­pened," he said.

All the material donated will be placed_ in both the Norris and Vanier libraries within a . couple of months, C halk expects , and will be open to the community at large.

Wile away while away? Not r.eal/y ... National Faculty Exchanges are serious business

by John Sobol

W ith winter fast app r oach i ng, wouldn't it be nice if

someone were to offer you the opportunity of spending a few months in Hawaii, California or Florida? Well, if you are a faculty member, university administrator or staff worker the National Faculty Exchange (NFE) can help you do just that.

Last month Concordia's Director of Learning Develop­ment Ron Smith attended a NFE conference in San Fran­cisco at which Concordia's membership in the association was confirmed. Consequently, Concordia is now one of just three Canadian institutions (along with the University of Calgary and Ryerson Polytech­nic) to belong to the 155-member exchange pool, which is based in Fort Wayne, Indi­ana.

Member universities , col­leges and associations from Guam to Alaska have carried out over 150 personnel exchanges since Hie program was initiated in 1983.

The primary reason for the NFE's success and continued growth is its flexibility. While many exchanges between spe­cific departments are years in the making, members of the NFE can use the agency as a sort of clearing house whereby exchanges are efficiently orga­nized and speedily acted upon.

In addition to direct one­for-one exchanges, the NFE will also assemble multilateral exchanges involving three or more institutions. In fact, the NFE is so flexible that many of the "exchanges" are not exchanges at all so much as temporary unilateral transfers of personnel. In other words, if a faculty member applies to the NFE and is accepted by, say, Bowling Green, then Con­cordia can either require a replacement for the departing employee, or in some cases may simply let go without applying .;

" restrictions. I Of course, as Smith "'

explains, "Some years we could ~ get people coming here without sending anyone out."

Exchange possibilities Due to the favourable cur­

rency exchange and Montreal's attractive francophone culture, it seems likely that Concordia will receive a significant num­ber of applicants from the U.S. If over the next. few years this

proves true, it may open up a correspondingly large number of exchange possibilities for Concordians.

So far, the NFE has been highly praised by past partici­pants. Smith reports that "most' of the exchanges have been tremendous successes. Campuses have received visi­tors who have made contribu­tions in areas which were appre­ciated, and the visitors have made contacts and friends, founded study groups and learned techniques previously unknown to them."

The fact that a visiting pro­fessor, administrator or staff

worker will have fewer long­term commitments than at home usually enables the indi­vidual to engage in activities of the greatest immediate interest and reward. Freedom from aca­demic committee assignments and advising responsibilities means more time for research. And the expertise gained can always be passed on to co­workers upon the participant's return.

There are costs to the pro­gram, but these are kept to a minimum. The University must pay an annual membership fee of $500. In addition, if the departing individual is not part

Hey, isn't that ... ?

of a genuine exchange, and his or her position is essential, the University will then be required to pay for a temporary replace­ment. The participant is expected to pay for his or her own expenses,. the most signifi­cant of which is the cost of temporarily relocating.

"But," says Smith, "if there is a real commitment to contin­ued learning and revitalization, from the University's point of view the NFE can provide a real investment in the individual at a relatively low cost."

The deadline for faculty members for the 1988-89 aca­demic year is November 11. On

that day all applications must be in Fort Wayne, Indiana , so all those interested should con­tact NFE Campus Co-ordina­tor Smith as soon as possible. For administrators and staff the deadlines are more flexible.

Ron Smith can be reached at 848-2498; Learning Develop­ment is located at 2492 West Broadway (LOY).

After hours these Concordia folk head to the stage

It's called An Evening of Samuel Beckett's Shorter Plays, presented by Imago Theatre, but it could just as easily be touted 'Con­cordians on stage'! Director (and former Concordia student) Andres Hausman delights in the "enormous contribution by Con­cordia people" to his presentation of Beckett's monologues. Posing during a recent intermission were (left to right - back row) Deborah Herman, (graduate art therapist), Corinne de Langavant (figure skating instructor), Rowena Woods (English literature student),Elaine Aidelbaum (ballet instructor); front row left: Jon Baggaley (English professor) and Joe Cazalet (theatre professor). Not pictured but also involved in the production are cast member Ralph Allison (theatre professor), lighting designer Eric Mongerson (theatre production co-ordinator)and stage manager Nansea Tomalty (English student). So, which is the tougher job? Says Jon Baggaley, "I think teaching is harder work than acting . .. it leaves me exhausted!" All these Concordia folk can be seen till Sunday, October 11, at the Atwater Library Theatre, 1200 Atwater Avenue, 8:30 p.m. Tickets $8, $6.

Having a fine old time A how-to guide about a wise old age

G ood news for those who fear that old age inevitably brings a

downhill plunge in mental fac­ulties: research at Concordia illustrates that a life of keeping busy and socially involved can help preserve mental fitness, much as physical fitness keeps bodies going longer.

A three-year . project on aging, led by Psychology pro­fessor Dolores Gold, shows that the " use it or lose it" principle applies to intellectual functioning over a lifetime. And the exercises which keeps our minds in shape are not just solving chess problems or other challenges usually considered intellectual. · An everyday matter of stay­ing in contact with friends and family also counts as a form of intellectual activity which keeps the mind fit, says Gold. And for men, being married seems to go hand-in-hand with a sounder mind in old age.

The research project, con­ducted through the Centre for Research in Human Develop­ment with Psychology col­leagues David Andres, Tannis j Arbuckle, Alex Schwartzman ~ and June Chaikelson, backs up " the notion that it is not aging ~

tremendous variations between how people end up. Why are some people brain surgeons at 75 while others are waiting to die at 65?

Academically, the $140,000 study examined "the impact of lifestyle environment engage­ment upon lifespan intellectual change and continuity in a normal sample of elderly men."

Her elderly men were some 400 Second World War vet-

without enough money. "By having a measure of a

person as a young man, then comparing them as 65-year­olds and then seeing what their lifestyle has been like, we were trying to tease out the factors that influence intelligence," says Gold. "The main purpose was to see what explains wheth­er a person continues to func­tion well, . mentally, or decreases."

in this study, is that even mod­erate drinking can be harmful down the line. "You don't have to be an alcoholic to show an increased loss of intellectual skills across the lifespan," Gold says. "Even social drinking is bad."

Tempering this news, how­ever, are other studies showing that moderate drinking increases longevity and is asso­ciated with better morale. "We don't have an effect that is only negative," she says. " I'm not going to give up my social drinking, but I'm certainly going to continue controlling it."

The project also adds a new argument to existing research demonstrating that marriage is good for men. Studies have already shown married men scoring high in health, happi­ness, salaries and other mea­sures of well-being. "What .is unusual about our research is that we found single men lose their intellectual functioning at a faster rate than married men," says Gold.

As a guide to staying mental­ly fit, the veterans who

functioned best in Gold's study were those who: • Kept -in close touch with friends and relatives whose comp~ny they enjoyed; • Kept themselves busy and enjoyed using their mental abil­ities; • Enjoyed reading; • Tended to be .more reflective and were not impulsive; • Did not become anxious eas­ily.

Gold sees the "practice prin­ciple" confirmed in her research findings. "They sup­port what's known as the engagement theory, which argues that you're more likely to retain your intellectual abili­ties if you're more involved, have more control over your environment, and engage in more stimulating activities," she says.

She adds that most people probably aren't using their mental abilities as much as they can, just as they don't stay physically fit,. and they will pay down the line. "A lot of people function at a very low intellec­tual level, and they are going to lose mental abilities they could otherwise have kept."

But there are limits to what can be achieved. Some factors linked to good intellectual functioning in old age are per­sonality features we don't easily control. An impulsive person who easily becomes anxious is more likely to function poorly than the reflective character.

Other uncontrollable fac­tors include, not surprisingly, intelligence as an early adult. "To keep your mental abilities while aging, you have to have some to start with," Gold says. Retaining skills also varies directly with socio-economic status, a factor often depen­dent on the family one is born into.

Good health is another important factor that bad luck can take away. The worst case is the metal destruction caused by Alzheimer 's , against which there is no bulwark.

"You can be as busy and engaged as you like, but if you get Alzheimer's, it's not going to help," says Gold. "I don't want anyone caring for an Alzheimer's victim to say 'My God, if only he'd read the newspaper every day, he wouldn't have this' ."

So the secret is not just staying busy, sober, married and involved with friends. "Hope for luck, too," she says. • Reprinted from Concordia University Magazine.

T he Loyola Field of Concordia University should be rocking this Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.) when the football Stingers host the McGill Redmen. Both

clubs have 2-2 records and with only three games remaining in regular season play this contest will have a great bearing on the playoff setup.

Only the top four finishers in the six-team Ontario­Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference (O-QIFC) qual­ify for post-season play. Bishop's stretched its unblemished mark to 4-0 Saturday by beating Concordia 38-12 in Lennoxville. Queen's is second while the Stinger's and McGill are tied for third. Ottawa, at 1-3, and 0-4 Carleton bring up the rear.

While university football appears to be gaining in popularity across the country, that is certainly not the case at the pro level. The Canadian Football League (CFL), which has already endured the death of the Alouettes this year, is operating on shaky ground with at least three franchises in serious financial difficulty. But people like Concordia head coach Skip Rochette are trying to remain optimistic about the league's future. As a matter of fact, in the event it is still around by the February college draft a proposal developed by the Stinger mentor a few years ago may be implemented. It essentially involves revising the procedure of how players are selected.

Turning to hockey, the men's Stingers showed the form of years past last Thursday night at Loyola rink as they routed the University of Ottawa GeeGees 13-4 in exhibition play. Forward Mike Deegan, who has rejoined the team after a year's absence, scored two goals and added five assists. Rookie left winger Frank Sinfield had a pair of goals and four assists. Head coach Paul Arsenault, entering his 24th season behind the bench, brings his team to Rhode Island and Massachusetts this weekend for non-conference matches vs. Providence College and Lowell University, respectively. A week later, Oct. 16 to 18, will see the club compete in the Universite du Quebec a 1rois-Rivieres (UQTR) tournament.

After winning nine consecutive league champion­ships, Arsenault's club has been in a rebuilding process over the last three seasons. But a new era begins this year. Con­cordia has joined a revamped 17-team Ontario Universities Athletic Assn. along with McGill, 1rois-Rivieres and Ottawa. The Stingers host Royal Military College of Kingston on Oct. 24 in the conference opener.

The women's varsity hockey squad, coached by Les Lawton and Julie Healy, hope to pick up where they left off last year when they grabbed a Quebec title. In an exhibition game Oct. 17 they'll take on a club from Ottawa. Healy notes that of the 19 players in camp, only three have no prior experience in the game. For women's hockey, which doesn't have a large participation rate in the province, that is "really something."

Concordia's two varsity basketball teams have an interesting event planned to tip off their respective seasons Saturday night Oct. 17. Instead of staging· ordinary non­conference games, alumni from years past will suit up and take on the 1987-88 edition,s of the Maroon and Gold. Head coach Louisa Zerbe's women's squad will take to the court at 6:30 p.m. followed by mentor Doug Daigneault's male hoopsters two hours later. Craig Norman and Rob Latter, two of the greatest Stingers of all time, will be in uniform for the men's alumni side. They graduated last year. Assistant coach Jean Dore (who is not a politician), an all-star guard for Loyola and then Concordia from 1972 to 1975, is also on the roster.

There's soccer action this week. The men's Stingers host Sherbrooke tomorrow afternoon (4 p.m.) while the women travel to nois-Rivieres Sunday afternoon.

Forsey speaks out on Meech accord Constitutional expert visits Concordia

by Gordon Ritchie

H is appearance, like most octogenarians, projects an image of

frailty. But in this age of TV­glamour politicians, Eugene Forsey, former Senator and one of Canada's foremost constitu­tional experts, proved once again he's as sharp as ever when it comes to dissecting constitu­tional ins and outs and analyz­ing the ambiguities of the Meech Lake Accord.

"I have a great deal to say on the subject," he told the audi­ence of almost 100 crowding the Hall Building Faculty Club dining room last Thursday. "I don't think I'll get more than a good whack at some of the more important features of it in the course of time allotted to me."

And whack at it, he pid. He warned that the pro­

posed constitutional changes portend a shift in power away from the people's representa­tives in Parliament and the legislatures to the courts, since what isn't spelled out in the constitution is left for the courts to decide.

No one at all, he asserted, knows what will be the effect of the Supreme Court of Canada interpreting the constitution on the basis of the "distinct socie­ty" and "linguistic duality" clauses.

Can a Quebec government use the "distinct society" clause to preserve and promote the distinct identity of Quebec as an excuse to override current · English educational rights? No one knows if it can be inter­preted this way, Forsey argued. Nevertheless, the danger is there and it ought not to be.

The proposal to have prov­inces appoint Senators will, in the long run, result in still another shift of power from Parliament in this instance, to the Senate, Forsey added.

If the accord goes through with its unanimity requirement for future constitutional change, we'll never see any further reform of the Senate, he said. The provinces will have effectively obtained a check on the federal government once they appoint enough people (the only Senate change pro­posed by Meech Lake). This will be a power no province will want to give up.

Forsey's most energetic denunciation of the Accord came following the question period when he was asked if Meech Lake was not a return to the intention of Confederation and a redressing of the federal government's unfair financial clout over the provinces, a point former Liberal cabinet minister Eric Kierans had made

to the Joint Parliamentary Committee hearings and to graduates during Concordia convocation ceremonies last spring (reprinted in the current edition of the Concordia University.Magazine).

''That's rubbish, absolute rubbish," said Forsey, accusing Kierans of being ignorant of the 1867 constitutional docu­ments and debate. In fact he was so incensed by Kierans' remarks he's currently writing a paper pointing out the egre­gious errors.

If there was one recurring recommendation from Forsey it was a plea to the governments to define their terms and inten­tions.

"(Otherwise) it gives the courts so much more scope. These are things which should not be settled by the courts. They should be settled by the people's representatives in Par­liament and the legislatures saying what they want and saying it as clearly as they can."

Forsey was invited to the University by the School of Community and Public Affairs, who also enjoyed Robert L. Heilbroner, Norman Thomas Professor of Eco­nomics at the New School for Social Research, speaking on Beyond the Veil of Economics yesterday.

Twins do a double-take on honours Scholarship winners score perfect marks

by Karen Silver

W hen Pierre and Michel Dionne approached Direc­

tor of Financial Aid Roger Cote on the first day of the term to ask him how to apply for a scholarship, they were astonished to learn that they had already been awarded $1,000 Friends of Concordia scholarships, and that their notifications were "in the mail" (for real).

In their first year at Con-

cordia, the Dionne twins both achieved the phenomenal gross point average (GPA) of 4.3 (the highest possible). They are both taking a B.Sc. in Actuar­ial Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science, and are enrolled in the Co-op program which alternates work experi­ence and study. This is the first financial aid they have received, and they say it has given them a further incentive to continue studies. "We were

thinking about getting our Master's," says one of the brothers (TTR can't figure out which), "and this has encour­aged us to think we could get funding for it."

According to a test done at birth, Pierre and Michel are fraternal twins. But they say that particular test has since been discredited, and they have a strong hunch that they are really identical twins. They look alike, sound alike, and have the same tastes, aptitudes and abilities. They both fin­ished high school with an aver­age of exactly 87 % . They often have the same train of thought, and sometimes they start the same sentence at the same time or finish the other's sentences.

For relaxation, they try to take in a movie a week, and they enjoy reading science fic­tion. They swim and bicycle in summer, and are planning to buy a home gym to keep fit in winter.

The 20-year-old twins say they are "each other's best friend and rival." They're sure their friendly rivalry is a big contributor to their scholastic success: "We only got about 80% . fo elenieritary· -school

when we were in different class­es, but from the moment we got in the same class in high school we started competing with each other, and our marks went up."

Both Dionnes say they bene­fit from having a resource per­son handy. "When one of us has difficulty, we just ask the other."

New governors appointed 1\vo new members have been

appointed as community-at­large representatives on the Board of Governors. They are: Arthur Knowles, Power Cor­poration of Canada President and Chief Executive Officer; and Ronald Lawless, President and Chief Executive Officer at Canadian National Railways.

Knowles, who serves as Dep­uty Chairman of Power Finan­cial Corporation, also sits on the board of directors of The Great West Life Assurance Company, The Investors Group, Great West Lifeco Inc., Montreal ltustco Inc., Consol­idated Bathurst Inc, CB Pak Inc., Nordex Inc. and Gelco Enterprises Ltd.

Ronald Lawless is no stran­ger to Concordia, having

served previously as the Chair of the Business Advisory Board at the Concordia Centre for Management Studies. He joined CN's Express Depart­ment in 1941 and, following five years of war service with the R.C.A.F., worked his way up through the ranks to the position of CEO. Lawless sits on the board of directors of more than a dozen corpora­tions in Canada and the U.S.

The board of governors has 35 members; 18 representing the community-at-large; three representing alumni; six repre­senting faculty members; one representing graduate students; four. representing undergradu­ate students; and one represent­ing non-academic staff. The rector and chancellor sit on the board as ex-officio members.

versity as being different. "If anything, we all had stereo­types of what the various other universities were, which were not necessarily true," Charland said.

Instead of pinpointing each university to specialize in one field, organizers looked at fac­ulty expertise and research throughout the three universi­ties. Then they divided the field to encompass as much as possi­ble all areas of study underway in Communications in Cana­da.

Four categories of study They came up with four

categories, which now form the core of the program. The goal is to train scholars in communi­cation theory and research in these broadly defined areas: • Communication, Technolo­gy, Culture and Society. This area studies the inter-relation-

ship between all four subjects; • Analysis of Discourse. This area studies theories of how to interpret a media message and could include semiotics and pragmatics; • Organizational Communi­cations. This area studies the communication which occurs in organizations and includes
