Teaching a love of classical music Fblish visiting professor Marian Borkowski at Concordia

by Donna Varrica The visiting professor translates his

Polish thoughts into French for the reporter. The reporter then translates the French into English, preparing notes for this profile. Luckily, the language of music, . the subject of discussion, is universal.

Marian Borkowski is Concordia's second visiting professor under a five­year agreement between the Faculty of Fine Arts and Poland's Ministry of Culture.

Jaroslaw Kozlowski, a Polish multi­media artist, shared his unique vision with the University's students and fac­ulty in visual arts for three months last year (see 1T8., December I, 1988).

Meeting Borkowski in the quaint setting of the Music Department, in what was once Loyola's refectory, seems fit­ting. While there is something Old World about Borkowski, he is as dedicated to developing contemporary classical music as he is to preserving the works of the masters.

Teaches at Chopin Academy In Warsaw, he is on staff at two of

Poland's eight music academies. Borkowski teaches composition at

the acclaimed Chopin Academy of Music, which next year celebrates its 180th anniversary. It is second in stature only to the Conservatoire de Paris. He is also Vice-Rector of_ Warsaw's Academy of Music. .

At Concordia, Borkowski is com- . fortably ensconced in Kevin Austin's office which he shares with music lectur­er Jean-Fran~ois Denis. Austin, Associ­ate Professor in Electroacoustic Music, is in Poland on the reciprocal part of the exchange.

Busy schedule Borkowski says he is astounded by

the number of outings the Music Depart­ment has planned for him during his stay which ends Tuesday when he returns to . Poland. There were visits to concerts by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, trips to Ottawa, Quebec City and Toronto to visit each of those cities' conservatories and tours of fine arts facilities at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa.

This is in addition to the conferences he has given, the Radio-Canada inter­views he has done, the master class he teaches at Concordia and the lectures he

gives to MA candidates at l'Universite de Montreal . .

Entrance requirements for admis­sion to Polish academies may be much more stringent than in Canada, Borkowski says, but he commends the calibre of the insitutions and facilities he has visited in Canada. He was particular­ly struck by the conservatory in Quebec City _and the acoustic brilliance of rooms such as the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts and Vincent-d'Indy's Salle Claude-Champagne.

"It is too bad that I came to Con­cordia one year early," he says, "we . could have presented the works of my master class in the almost-completed Concert Hall (on the west-end campus)."

Breaking away Shakespearean scholar from Indiana visits as part of National Faculty Exchange

by Bronwyn Chester

C harles Forker teaches at Indiana State Universityin Bloomington, · Indiana, a town famous to some

· for the film Breaking Away. In the film, local boys take on out-of-town preppy college types in a cycling race and - of course - win. .

Well, Charles Forker has broken

away, at least for a few months, and he figures that he has won, too.

· Last January he left the mild winter of Bloomington to teach at Concordia for the winter term. He got the snow he wanted - "I'm one of those people who actually prefer winter to _summer," - a

Charles Forker, a visitor from mild Indiana for the winter term, says he "actually prefers winter to summer."

EXCHANGE continued from page 1 chance to see Charles Dutoit; conductor of the Montreal symphony, and time to work on his next book.

Forker is at Concordia thanks to the National Faculty Exchange (NFE), an organization based in Fort Wayne, Indi­ana, which offers the faculty, adminis­trators and staff of its 160 member­universities the possibility of working elsewhere in North America and even in Australia. Concordia joined the NFE two years ago and Forker is the first professor gained through the exchange. There are only two other Canadian universities involved: Ryerson and Cal­gary.

First time teaching in Canada "I'm deliciously free,'' said the 62-

year-old professor of Shakespearean and Elizabethan drama in an interview with TTR. "I wanted to do a little teaching but have enough time to work on my book on Marlowe's Edward the Second. At home I have too many committee and teaching responsibilities to be writing at · the same time."

T'WO_ incidents force evacuations Three employees trea(ed for fumes

Incidents which occurred simultane­ously last Thursday resulted in the evacuation of the Henry F. Hall Building on the downtown campus and of the Cloran-1-Jackett building on the west-end campus.

A chemical leak is suspected to have caused the downtown mishap.

According to Mary Baldwin, Co­ordinator, Occupational Health and Safety, the substance released had a slightly sweet smell that irritated the eyes. It was concentrated mainly on the middle floors of the building.

Police were summoned and the evac-

CLASSICAL

uation begun when the ongm of the substance could not be traced. Agostino Borsellino, Empire Maintenance, and two students were· sufficiently affected by the fumes to be taken to the Montreal General Hospital for observation. They were released after a few hours.

. An investigation of the suspected leak is being carried out by the Office of . the Vice-Rector, Services, with reports filed by Security, the Chemical. Control -Officers and Occupational Health and Safety, Health Services, and the Mont­real Urban Community Police and Fire Departments .

The nature of the gas leak at the west-end campus was simpler to identify: Hydro-Quebec took full responsibility. While digging to install a new electical conduit near the Commerce and Admin­istration Faculty's Cloran-Hackett build­ing at Sherbrooke and West Broadway, Hydro hit a gas main no longer in use which caused a leak of residual gas.

Clean-up operations were routine and within an hour of the accident the area was declared safe by both Hydro officials and the police and fire depart­ments.

Forker says he enjoys being in a foreign city and country, and experienc­ing a different. Ex~glish department. He has been a visiting professor at other American universities, but this is his first foray into teaching in Canada.

"I've found generally that the stu­dents are more laid back here than they are in Indiana and more to the left politically,'' said Forker, who is teaching a graduate course on Shakespeare's 'his­tory' plays, such as Henry Vand Richard II. He also sees less of students here than he would at home.

"It's unusual for me to see students only once a week. In Bloomington, where more than half the population is comprised of students, I frequently bump into students during the week. Bloomington is the university. Here the universities are just one element in a complex city."

Four to go next year Next year Concordia will send three

faculty members and one staff member to universities in North Carolina, Flori­da, Arizona and California, says Con­cordia's NFE co-ordinator, Ron Smith. And a professor from North Carolina will be coming to Concordia.

One of the beauties of the exchange, said Forker, is that the home university continues to pay his salary, "so I won't

_ have to figure out the Canadian and Quebec income tax forms." ·

Usually there is an exchange of one professor for another, but _not necessar­ily, as in Porker 's case. "There are other people at Indiana who can teach my course, or they simply won't be offered this year,'' he said. ·

Finding accommodation was not difficult for Forker. A Montrealer teach­ing at Indiana asked Forker to housesit for him. The only difficulties the Shake­spearean scholar has encountered have been 'finding decaffeinated filter coffee and getting used to Quebec's unique drivers and rules of the road .

"Driving here is just wild, and I got a ticket the other day for turning on a red light."

Annual Giving phonathon will be largest in Concordia's history

Borkowski's own compositions will be featured in a Composer's Concert, Friday, April 7 at Salle Claude-Cham­pagne, 220 Vincent-d'Indy Avenue, at 8:00 p.m. The pieces incorporate differ­ent combinations of piano, flute, brass and string instruments, and percussion and voice, and reflect the composer's commitment to emotion, dynamism, and technique in music.

A discussion of Borkowski's_ view of contemporary classical music will take · place in French on Monday, April 10 at 10:00 a.m. to noon in Room. RF-110 at the west-end campus. It is open to all.

The next best ~bing to being there Out -of-classroom, individual learning is the wave of ihe future .

by Zonia Keywan

Distance education is the trend for the future." So says Ann Galler, Direc­tor of Concordia's recently-estab­

lished Centre for Off-Campus and Distance . Learning. Galler, who came to her post from

Library Studies, has spent the last nine months investigating the distance option in order to enable Concordia to develop a policy on offering distance _education.

Distance learning, Galler makes clear, differs from traditional off-campus educa­tion.

"Off-campus involves groups of stu­dents meeting in a location away from the campus with a teacher present - like the courses we offer on the West Island. But dis­tance learning can be done by an individual. There is no classroom and no live teacher present."

So far, Concordia's foray into distance education has been very limited. But the few courses that have been offered illustrate the variety of modes through which distance learning can take place. Two courses - in Science and Human Affairs and in Manage­ment - have been given on cable TV, a _graduate course in Educational Technology is being taught by computer, and two cour-

ses in Library Studies are being offered to inmates in Canadian prisons by means of what Galler calls "good, old-fashioned cor­respondence."

"And new technologies that will be use­ful are being developed all the time," she _says. One example of such technology is hy­pertext, or interactive TV.

Interest in developing courses in the dis­tance mode has already been expressed by several . departments, Galler says. If the decision is made to commit Concordia to developing a distance education program (a report recommending such a move has just been submitted to the Rector by the Ad­visory Committee on Distance Learning), Galler hopes to soon launch a few pilot cour­ses. Production, she says, can be done in­house, with course design assistance from . Educational Technology and technical sup­port from the Audio-Visual Department.

Definite market As for a market for distance courses,

Galler is certain that it is there.

"A lot of people can't come to the Univer­sity," she says. "Some are physically dis­tant; some have to travel a lot as part of their job; homemakers are often tied down with children. Others, especially older people,

Off-Campus and Distance Learning Centre Director Ann Galler affirms that "Concordia has always tried to cater to people who may not be able to come to regular classes." -

may feel intimidated by the idea of corning to the University."

She adds, "Concordia has always tried to cater to people who may not be able to come to regular classes. That has been part

of its social role. At the same time, bringing in distance courses may help to increase en­rolment figures. That would benefit the University at the same time as helping the students."

FroID Greek.Tragedy to the·Tube: draIDa CQIDes a long way New course to stage plays for television

by Donna Varrica

A new course has been designed at Concordia to teach students of Theatre and of Television. to

balance artistic expression with technical restrictions and to better understand the role the other plays in a prodijction.

Associate Professor Nikos Metallinos of the Communication Studies Department and Stanislaw Brejdygant, an award-win­ning Polish actor, director and writer for film, television and the stage, plan to recon­cile technology and drama in the six-week advanced course this summer.

The first half of the session will ~ee the Television students study in the Theatre Department while Theatre Sfi!dents will go to Communication Studies, enabling each group to gain working knowledge of the other's function.

"It will be more an adventure than a course," says Metallinos. "The course, which is open to Theatre students in Fine Arts and to Communication Studies stu­dents specializing in Television, has been designed to encourage a broader under­standing and to bridge the gap between the two departments by incorporating two media."

The collaboration will be intensive with classes four days a week from 9 a.m. to

5 p.m. After the initial exchang~ period be­tween the two groups, the remaining three weeks of th~ course will be spent mounting either one large production or several small ones.

The foundation for the course was laid last year when Metallinos and Brejdygant mounted a television adaptation of the Wil­liam Saroyan play Hello Out There which was videotaped with three different casts of the Theatre Department's senior students .. Later that spring, the play was presented at the Centaur Theatre during the 1988 Quebec Dravia Festival, garnering an award for Best Scenography and a Best Actress award for Beth Lachance.

"The experience of learning to perform for television while still in school is very valuable. Once you graduate, you realize that the only way to make a living as an actor is by working in television and film. Television's perspective is very different than the stage's. With this kind of training you can avoid making mistakes in a paying job that may cost you your reputation," says Lachance.

The high point of the production for Lachance was the opportunity .to work with a director of Brejdygant' s calibre and being able to apply this insight within a new medium. The new course promises to offer students nothing less . .

Being is believing A-Vs Mark Schofield recently travelled.the world studying meditation techniques as a form of Christian prayer

by Rene Ello

T he jungles of South East Asia are a long way off from the down­town campus' Audio-Visual

Department. But this is where A-V department director Mark Schofield recently spent five weeks shooting a documentary video on Christian medita­tion.

"We visited Malaysia, Singapore and India as well as England," he said in an interview with TTR. " In all we travelled about 18,000 miles and were constantly on and off airplanes."

Schofield belongs to a Christian meditation group in Montreal which is associated with the Catholic Church. He has personally been practicing medita­tion for the past 12 years. Last Christmas break, Schofield took some time off and along with two colleagues started on the long road towards the completion of the video.

"The documentary we're making is about John Main, a Benedictine monk who came to Montreal in the mid-1970s after learning about meditation tech-

niques in Malaysia. It basically traces the steps during Main's journey; how he was introduced to meditation as a fonp. of prayer," explains Schofield.

He and his ·colleagues travelled to Singapore and Malaysia to interview people who have established meditation groups. They also visited a parish priest in London who·was active in setting up a meditation centre in that city, run by volunteers .

Traditional cultures meld with Christianity

In India, Schofield interviewed a Benedictine monk whose life's work is bringing these incredibly spiritually_ var­iegated cultural traditions into Christian­ity.

"What we were really looking at," he said, "were the Eastern influences in Western Christianity. One of the objec­tives of the documentary is to trace the development of meditation throughout (its) history."

Although his journey took him throughout South East Asia, Schofield

Employment Equity ... Try these out

Myth Employment Equity is a form of reverse discrimination.

Reality It i~ the responsibility of a search committee to create a pool of candidates that

includes qualified women. Included in the evaluation and selection process should be the candidate's ability to serve as a role model to students as well as scholarly in­terests and perspectives. Employment Equity means tltat alfI~dividuals must be treated equally and the position offered.to the candidate most qualified according to the hiring criteria which includes the requirements of the position to be filled and also the goals and mission of the department and the University.

Myth Employment Equity means establishing a quota system for women.

Reality There is a difference between goals and quotas. The goal of an. Employment

Equity Program is the inclusion in the work force of individuals previously excluded or under-represented. Employment Equity means reaching out to candidates and treating them with fairness and equity. Goals are measurable, achievable and results­oriented; they are implemented to ensure that organizational change will occur.

Myth "Employment Equity means settling for second best.

Reality Employment Equi ty is not synonymous with -mediocrity or second best. In the

selection process, however, the most qualified candidate may not necessarily be the individual with the most impressive record or academic experience but the individual who meets the hiring criteria as established by the department taking into considera­tion Employment Equity issues.

Myth The pool of women in some disciplines is so small that it is virtually impossible

to find any.

Reality There are some disciplines where women have not entered in large numbers, but

recent figures from Statistics Canada show 34.8% of students enrolled in doctoral programs in Canadian universities are women. In disciplines such as Business and Commerce, 33% of the students are women, in Economics 16.6% of the students are women, and in Engineering 7% of the students are women. More women do need to be encouraged to enter male-dominated fields of study. At present, however, there are many ways to enlarge the pool of qualified female candidates. A document published by Carleton University's Status of Women Office entitled A Directory of Sources for Accessing Academically Qualified Women has been sent to all Deans and appi:opriate sections to Department Chairs for use when searching positions. ·

Myth If the department hires one or two women, they have satisfied the Employment

Equity requirements.

Reality Tokenism is not a goal of Employment Equity. The goal of Employment Equi­

ty is a workforce that reflects both _internal and external availability and our society's diversity.

Myth Employment Equity will result in lowering the standards and reputation of a

department.

Reality This will not happen if a qualified candidate is chosen for the position. A facul­

ty which has diverse strengths and points of views increases the effectiveness, vitality and stature of the University.

Myth Employment Equity and Equal Opportunity are one and the same.

Reality Employment Equity is a proactive concept. It assures that the University will ac­

tively and'aggressively seek to overcome the effects of past systemic discrimination against women by making a positive and continuous effort in recruitment, employ­ment and promotion. The goal of Employll!_ent Equity and the University are one in the same, that is, to give an individual the opportunity to realize their maximum poten-tial. .
