Capital campaign passes $22 million Work on concert hall to begin before summer
C apital Campaign officials announced this week that the five-year
fund drive has passed the $22.4 million mark - approximately 900fo of the Campaign goal.
Canvassing for the Leadership Gifts Division (headed by Air Canada Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Claude I. Taylor) is nearly complete, and solicitations have just started for the Major Gifts Division (donations of $5,000 to-$25,000).
Board of Governors member A.H. (Mike) Michell, ViceChairman of The Royal Bank of Canada, officially kicked off the Major Gifts segment of the Campaign last Thursday in the Royal Bank's 41st Floor boardroom at P lace Ville Marie. ·

Those fighting words from . Concordia Board of Governors Chairman P. Andre Gervais set the tone for last week's discussion about Concordia underfunding at_ the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Governors. ·
In a joint report submitted by Gervais and Rector Patrick
Kenniff, Concordia's senior administration told the governors it is launching a threepronged campaign to follow up on last month's encouraging, but inconclusive, meeting with Quebec Premier · Robert Bourassa on the funding issue.

The firm's Concordia Director, Bob Wyeth, will be leaving the University at the erid of this month. Speaking at last week's Board of Governors meeting, Rector Patrick Kenniff praised Wyeth "for the superb, job he has done during his tenure at Concordia," and he thanked him for laying the groundwork for the permanent Advancement Office that will be created at Concordia to co-ordinate
develop communications campaigns and produce materials that (i) "underscore the inherent value of what Concordia has accomplished under the most trying of financial circumstances," and (ii) "indicate the future value of what could be achieved if the University were to be funded on a more equitable and appropriate basis."
Kenniff told the governors that the public at large is "much more aware and much more sympathetic" as regards Concordia's funding difficulties - far more than it was prior to last fall's extended campaign for equitable treatment from the government.
"It has become a vital issue
for many people," he said, and Concordia must build on that heightened awareness and support to achieve its long-term objectives.
Mezzanine renovations
In other business the governors approved a joint CUSA (Concordia University Students Association) administration agreement to transfer 810 square metres of Henry F. Hall building floor space to CUSA control in return for a cash sum of $673,000.
CUSA will eventually vacate its current space on the Hall building's 6th floor for space on the building's mezzanine.
The CUSA money has been held in trust for more than 14
years pending a decision on the construction of a downtown students' centre. Rather than buy a separte building, CUSA has now decided ,to house student offices and activities in renovated quarters in the Hall building.
The University administration will continue to control the mezzanine space until such time as the downtown library building opens.
The governors also approved a request from the Graduate Students Association Council to increase GSA fees to $27 from $25 per student. The fee hike is the first in three years~ it is expected to raise annual GSA revenues by about $6,000.

What's new? The News is new Concordia Journalism head warns Gazette: 'Von't be worried, but don't be complacent either"
by Buzz Bourdon
T he jury's still out on Montreal's newest paper, the Daily News,
but Concordia Journalism department head Lindsay Crysler likes what he's seen of the bold and brassy daily since it hit the stands 10 days ago, with the help of a gaggle of Concordia journalism graduates.
"The nicest thing about it so far is that it looks nice and clean," Crysler said. "It's easy to read and it looks inviting."
He thinks the Pierre Peladeau-owned tabloid will be good for Montreal. "It's better to have competing papers. When there are two, both of them are more alert."
·Features attention-grabbers · The Daily News features tra
ditional tabloid attention-grabbers such as big colour photos, screaming headlines and lots of sports and crime, but Crysler, a former managing editor of The Gazette who spent some 25 years working on various Canadian newspapers , feels it must focus on city news to make its mark. ·
' ' (So far) they're doing what they said they would with more people-oriented stories about · the city. That's good. The Gazette doesn't really do that
well, stories that give a feel to the city. They have to be different from The Gazette."
The Southam-owned Gaz_ette has enjoyed a virtual monopoly in the English-language market since the Montreal Star folded in 1979 after a long and bitter strike. Peladeau, who also owns the Journal de _Montreal, the province's largest circulation daily, raided several well-known names from The Gazette, including city columnist Nick Auf der Maur and sports columnist Tim Burke.
Other Daily News staffers include journalism graduates Gracie MacDonald, Catherine Grace, Armand Thomas, Mitchell Axelrad, Eloise Morin, Scott Howarth and Ron
· Charles. And some TTR freelancers will be surfacing on their pages, too.
Allophones considered A group often ignored by
Montreal's newspapers are the city's allophones, the people whose mother tongues are neither English or French. Crysler thinks the Daily News will appeal to them and the people who don't read newspapers. "Some people are intimidated by The Gazette's size. Now you can spend 50 cents (on the Daily News) and feel content you've had a good read and

gotten your money's worth." How many papers will the
Daily News sell? Crysler thinks they'll settle down around 40,000, "then build gradually on that for the next year or so. There's probably a reading audience for a second Englishlanguage daily of about 50,000. Now it's a case of getting that and· convincing advertisers these are the type of people they want to talk to."
The Gazette shouldn't be worried about the new kid on the block, Crysler thinks, but it shouldn't be complacent. ''A lot of people there will sneer and not pay·attention, but they shouldn't underestimate them.
People laughed at the Journal de Montreal years ago. It hung on and now no one laughs."
Opinion on choice, Third-year journalism stu
dent Charles Abramovici takes the Daily News seriously, too. He thinks it will last because Montreal's English community needs another paper. "People now have a choice. The competition will promote better journalism. If it keeps improving, if it can hit 70,000, then I think they'll start taking a bite from The Gazette's ad revenues."
Abramovici is impressed with the space the Daily News is giving to crime stories. "It's about time crime was covered

properly in this city. They tend to sensationalize, but that's OK. Sensationalism isn't necessarily irresponsible. It's just another way of packaging the product to sell."
Although the Daily News' packaging hasn't up to now included a traditional editorial page with thundering editorials, Abramovici said he doesn't mind. "The soul of the paper is with the people it hires, not with an editorial page where you risk alienating some of your potential readers . A paper's job is to show, not tell. To show people what's happening, to let them decide what to do, not tell them."

'The Japan-of the !90s?' Canadian small businesses encouraged to deal with China
by Carol Krenz
C hina presents a wealth of opportunities to Canadian entrepre
neurs, especially those in small business. That, in a nutshell, is the message which Associate Professor Bakr Ibrahim clearly wants to send to the Canadian marketplace.
One of four Commerce and Administration faculty members participating in Phase One of Concordia's Canada-China Co-operative and Exchange program, Ibrahim, who directs the Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurial Studies, spent six weeks there last summer researching small business. He managed to observe handicrafts manufacture, including silk weaving, and agricultural businesses such as animal breeding and milk production. It was indeed a coup because up until that time the exchange program allowed for Canadi-

now for doing many things and could well be 1he Japan of the 1990s," explains Ibrahim. In a recent paper published in The Canadian Export Digest entitled "Window of opportunity for Canadian entrepreneurs," he illustrates three strategies for penetrating the Chinese market, stressing joint ventures, low costs, and technology transfers. China 'specializes' in small business and even considers 900 employees under one roof 'small! Product output, not the number of workers, is what differentiates between small and big.
Canadians liked more
During his six week visit, Ibrahim noted that the Chinese seemed to prefer Canadians to Americans. However, the Canadian Government does not really have strategies to contact businesses in China -

Concordians~ hoIDes 'home' to Vietnainese children by Ron Paquet
T wo Concordia University employees are offering Vietnamese
refugees a new hope for a better life.
William Raso, Manager of Registrar's Services, recently sponsored 17-year-old Chinh Vu from Saigon following an appeal last spring by the Wes-tmount Examiner seeking sponsors for seven Vietnamese children.
"I wanted to share my life with someone because I was brought up to share," says the 37-year-old childless bachelor.
This is his second attempt at foster parenting. The, previous time, a Quebec youngster, didn't work out.
" I knew it would be different this time because these kids are very disciplined,'' says Raso. "The kids come to Canada to get ahead in life and I am willing to help someone who wants to make a go with his life."
The seven youths came to Canada as unaccompanied minors under the auspices of the Quebec government's unaccompanied minors refugee program with the assistance of the local Church of the Advent and Terre des Hommes Canada, a non-profit organization for international cooperation.
Foster families screened Before the youths enter Can
ada they must pass a medical examination and demonstrate that they are genuine refugees. In addition, each foster family is screened by Ville Marie Social Services to verify police and medical records and to ensure the parents can support the child. The foster parent
must also supply Ville Marie with references. A complete report is then sent to both levels of government for final approval.
The youths are flown to Canada at government expense. However, once the youngsters are capable of working they must reimburse the government for the plane trip from the Phjllipines where they had been sheltered in the Palawan refugee camp. The trip to Montreal costs between $500 and $1,000. Chinh left the Vietnamese capital of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, by boat two years ago because there was no future for him under the communist regime.
"As a Roman Catholic I { cannot go past grade 9 and cl! there are no jobs," says Chinh. ~ Had Chinh stayed he would have been drafted into the army next year. His father was incarcerated in a re~education camp and eventually killed during the Communist take-_over after U.S. troops left Saigon in 1975.
20-foot boat Chinh left his family behind
and sailed the South China Sea on a 20-foot boat with 49 other refugees. They spent three days bailing water because the boat was so overloaded with people. Finally they were rescued by a_ group of international doctors sailing international waters in search of refugees.
A few months later Chinh settled at the Palawan refuge camp awaiting a sponsor. During his stay at the camp he received one hour of English instruction each day. He spent the rest of his time playing sports. However Chinh still has difficulties ~xpressing himself.
"Chinh is currently spending five hours a day studying English in the Continuing Education program at Concordia University." said Raso. This fall he'll start grade 10 where among other things he will attempt to learn French.
Once Chinh is through high school Raso hopes he will attend university. "By law I am responsible for him until he's 18, but I'm ready to support him through university," said Raso.
A new friend in the family Another supportive parent
is Concordia University Religion professor Sheila McDonough. The single mother of two provided a home to 15-year-old Hoang Huong Thei Hgoc last December. ·
"I saw these kids who were stuck in the Phillipines because

William Raso and Chinh
they couldn't leave without a sponsor,'' said McDonough. "Since I had an extra room in the house I thought it would be nice to have a new friend in the family."
McDonough's three-year experience as an English teacher in Pakistan provides her with a knowledge of Third World culture and an interest in fostering multiculturism in Canada.
"I am interested in Canada as a multicultural environment which gives this country strength and togetherness. It's
also fitting for my children to know someone from another culture."
Learning Vietnamese Meanwhile McDonough is
learning some Vietnamese so she can communicate with Hoang. "The Vietnamese language has no double consonants on the end of the word. They only say the first part of the word. It's a tonal language."
For more information on how you can foster a child, call Terre des Hommes Canada at 737-72.54.

Concordians rally to aid two refugees
I n January 1987 a Con. cordia refugee committee was formed to raise
money and sponsor refugees into Canada. Concordia University Chaplain Peter Cote, who is coordinator of the committee, says that more than $7,000 has been raised so far thro'1gh the Loyola chapel, fund-raising events and personal donations. The money will be used to sponsor two Ethiopians, Eden Tewolde and Tahir Ali Noor.
"Once the refugees arrive in Canada we will find them a place to live and assist
· them in getting a job,'' says Cote, who has been with Concordia since 1986. "We want to sponsor refugees who are interested in furthering their education," he
says. "Tuhir expressed an interest in engineering so it would be ideal if we could get the Engineering faculty involved in creating a scholarship fund for him."
The refugee group was formed to sensitize and involve Concordia people
, with the refugee problem. It also offers support for the refugee cause by campaigning to the public and the news media.
If you want to help sponsor a refugee by providing shelter or financial assistance you can call Peter Cote at 848-3586. T here will also

Mordechai Richler 'comes holl1e' by Gordon Ritchie
A s a teenager Mordecai Richler felt being a writer offered the good
life since Ernest Hemingway set his own hours, went fishing when he felt like it and was on a fi rst name basis with Ingrid Bergman and Marlene Dietrich.
For Richler, noted Canadian author and journalist, the first two perceptions were right and even the bad days (when a "blank piece of paper is hell") are less hard and filled with
A 'F ' -h . ree c 01ce ...
niore satisfaction than anything experienced by his father, "a failed scrap dealer."
Richler was lecturing on "The Literary Life: On being a writer in Canada" at Concordia University last week before a very amused audience of about 400.
One thing the young Richler hadn't considered were people's antipathies toward writers. Some demand to know, he said, "Why you did it, as if writing, like housebreaking or
pushing drugs, was somehow socially questionable."
Desired to be an intellectual Richler's interest in novels
was derailed early by his disdain for them (they were "romantic make-believe") and a desire to be an intellectual. This was a result of his being slightly short and pimply which caused the "girls in tight sweaters," his initial interest, to ignore him.
However, his attitude to novels was to change with one

reading of Eric Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. At that time (1944) Richler was wishing all Germans "an excruciating death" but as he read he found himself identifying with the young German soldier. By the time he had finished, the power and danger of novels as well as the existence of a larger world beyond his now-famous St. Urbain St. had dawned on him. He began to devour novels, developing a desire for the life of London, New York and Paris. Attended Sir George Williams
Before he could make it overseas himself, Richler "endured" two years at Sir George Williams College.
"At the time it was a pathetic place, sort of a loser's finishing school. We were taught grammar by superannuated high school teachers and poetry by good-natured but inadequate ladies who blushed at the mention of Keats."
At the end of two years' study Richler was eligible to receive an A.A., or Associate in Arts degree but he never replied with the $5 fee to obtain it.
Since ' this inausp1c1ous beginning, Richler has been able to put together a fairly successful career as novelist, journalist and screenwriter, including the screenplay for two of his novels, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Joshua Then and Now. Film writing vs novel writing
In Richler's experience there's a big difference between writing for film and writing a novel.
"The writer (of a novel) is in total control, either he performs well or he doesn't. But the writer on a film is really just another spoke in the wheel and a most replaceable spoke, too."
According to Richler, film is best suited to original screenplays instead of adaptations. The adaptation for the film version of Jacob 'lwo-'lwo, which he didn't do, left him embarrassed.
As for other hazards of writing, namely critics, Richler quoted Graham Greene that, " 'as far as critics are concerned you were a young writer until you were 40 and thereafter a writer who had never fulfilled his early promise; but in this game he might have added, there's nothing like patience."
Today Richler no . longer questions why he does it. ''After all these years writing has become a habit ... I'm stuck with my original notion which.is to be an honest witness
to my time, my place and to write at least one novel that would last and may be remembered after my death. So I am compelled to .11:eep trying."
In the meantime there are the dubious satisfactions of being mistaken for Farley Mowat or the receipt of an invitation to be writer-in-residence at an Australian university addressed to Ms. Mordecai Richler. (He wrote back saying he'd love to come but wouldn't know what to wear.)
Richler had been .invited to the University to deliver the Mary Ann Beckett-Baxter Mem9rial Lecture as part of the Fine Arts Borc~er Crossing series.
