Multi Million Dollar Complex Projected for Sir George.

Options for a multi-million dollar c;omplex containing a new library and other facil ities were present ed at a meeting of an ad hoc committee involved in space problem planning at Sir George last week. J.P. Petolas , Vice Rector Adm inis­tration-Physi cal Resources pre­sented a brief on the present space situat ion at Si r George and Loyola and including possible approaches to new construction to t he committee, composed of adm inistrative representatives from both Con­cordia campuses.

The document drawn. up by Mr. Petolas gave a summary of space needs, based on the idea that the areas present ly rented by Sir George are inefficient , decentral ized and compartmen-

talized . The undesireable space presently rented by Sir George occupies some 248,000 square feet in an area about hal f the size of the Hall building . The fact that within the next two years t he present library stock capacity will be filled makes it

· necessary for the administra­t ion to ensure that new space will be avai lable for the expanding library services .

Th is June, Mr. Petolas is to present a descri pt ion of his construct ion plans to t he pro­vincial government along with f igures of existing space at use at Si r George.

The pro jected date for beginning of construction for the new addit ion is March 1974 with completion expected by 1979. The four opt ions included

in Mr. Petolas' proposed construction designs are 1) a major structure north of the Hall building on university­owned property at an estimated cost of $13 ,000,000 2) a major structure on the west side of Mackay Street on properties owned by the university and purchase of three more proper­ties at an est imated cost of $14,944,000 3) smaller struc­tures in f il Is on vacant areas of univers ity property des igned to partly conserve the appearance of the neighbourhood , and at an est imated cost of $8 ,000,000 and 4) construct ion of a two low level buildings , one on properties north of the Hal I bu ild ing , the other on the west side of Mackay Street at a total estimated cost of $15 ,069,000.

O'Mahony Resigns from· Board of Governors

ESA President Bill

by Roy Ostling.

Former Evening Student Pre­sident William O'Mahony an­nounced his resignation from Concordia's Board of Gover­nors last week. He described his reasons in his letter of resignation as a protest against the Board 's procedure and lack of sensitivity displayed by its unwillingness to negotiate with · the E.S.A. regardi ng the recently im posed trusteeship action. President O'Mahony's position on the ESA Council terminates on April 30th and he felt that President Elect George Proussaefs should fill his vacant post on the Board .

November but still considers himsel f a regi strered eveni ng student. . Commenting on his resigna­tion in a telephone interview with t he CONCORDIAN, O'Mahony said it is the first time in his knowledge that anyone had resigned in protest from the Board of Governors. He al so said that while as E.S.A. President he had often expressed his solidarity with the administration's stand .on various issues he would be more criti cal of university pol icy in the fut ure .

O'Mahony's letter is printed under the letters to the editor column.

Bomb Scare

at Sir George by Julia Maskoulis

Evening classes were tem­porarily di srupted last Thurs­day night at Sir George Williams University when what appeared to be a bomb scare sent evening students crowd­ing into the lobby of the Hall Building unable to attend classes .

At 8:30 p.m . pol ice at Station 10 received a phone call from Sir George Will iams Security Sgt. Lem ieux in form ing them that a bomb had been found by a student in a classroom on the 8th floor.

With in minutes two patrol cars and a bomb squad member arrived at the Hall Building where they discovered that the object was not a real bomb but

Martin of Station 1 O the bomb that was found looked identical to the real thing and was made up of six sticks of dynamite stuffed with newspaper, a battery and a timer.

The dummy bomb was removed by the ,bomb squad member who commented that "the guys who built this cou ld build a real one."

Although no mot ive could be found for the bomb scare , it is bel ieved that the bomb may have been placed in t he classroom to postpone a phys ics exam , commented Sgt. Martin .

O'Mahony tendered his resignation from Concor­dia's Board of Governors last week, in protest over the university's handling of the Association's trustee­ship.

O'Mahony's status as a Board member was. unclear prior to his resignation . He apparently signed a withdrawal form from the university last ------------- a dummy. According to Sgt.

But no such luck. The exam was moved to the mezzanine of the Sir George building and within one half hour all resumed to normal.

A FINAL WORD /

This special edition of The CONCORDIAN marks thetwenty­eighth and last issue of this newspaper for the 1973-74 aca­demic season.

This year, we have witnessed a large number of important events take place in our duel-campus community , which in its own way is like a small municipality .

Through these pages have passed strike news, theft, appointments , elections , resignations, trusteeship, and court cases . In our first year, we have sampled evening student opinion on a broad variety of issues, followed sports events , interviewed the famous and the ordinary , taken a serious and

I not-so-serious look at the upcoming Loyola-Sir George merger, criticised some and congratulated others .

We've reviewed movies , books , plays, and speakers. We've printed centerfold graphics in colour, published in French , printed great photographs , verified rumours, and analyzed facts. But most important of all , we've tried to give you , tt"\e evening student, an interesting up-to-date newspaper that kept you in tough with the events and issues on your campus .

Our special thanks go to those members of our dual­campuscommunity whose kind co-operation made our work a pleasure . We would like to thank our advertisers whose confidence in our newspaper helped to make it possible . But most of al I, we -thank each and every one of you , the evening students of Sir George and Loyola who faithfully read The CONCORDIAN every week, and without whose participation , sponsorship , and encouragement this publication would not have been possible .

I join the staff of The CONCORDIAN in wishing you the best of luck in yourfinal exams , and hope that you have an enjoyable summer.

O'Mahony's Resignation

.Dear Dr. O'Brien: This letter is to advise you of

my resignation from the Board of Governors of Concordia Uni­versity , I resign in favour of the President-elect of the Even ing Students ' Association , Mr. G. Proussaefs .

This decision , though diffi­cult to make, reflects my disap­pointments in this University's administration . This past year's manipulation on the Board is unacceptable and , in all con­science , I cannot continue to associate myself with such action . The administration is responsible to the Board and not vice-versa, I believe.

Particularly appalling are the events surrounding the trustee­ship of the E.S .A. I feel that neithe I nor my Council have been dealt with honourably with regards to this affair. The manner in which the Executive Committee of the Board rea­ched its decision , by a one-vote margin , was both rushed and

inconclusive. This , I feel , was unjustified .

Faced with a denial of natural justice and continuing inflexi­bility my Council was forced to seek redress in the courts . The subsequent legal expenses incurred by the University in fighting its own students rather than trying to find an alterna­te solution to t his problem is difficult to accept.

It is my belief that the Board is ultimately responsible to the Univers ity community , the government , and the public at large. We Board members are entrusted with maintaining good order in the University and the appropriate use of pub­lic funds . When we chose con­testation rather than negotia­tion , confrontation rather than diplomacy, we abdicated this responsibility. Our unneces­sary and expensive legal battle was embarked upon . No matter who wins the ensuing pro­ceedings , the University loses in terms of its public reputa­tion .

In view of the professional services at the Board's disposal it would have seemed both poss ible and reasonable that a more amicable way of handling ·. a problem in student govern­ment could have been found. Instead , the University finds itself embroiled in a situation , of its own making, wh ich in­volves thousands of evening students and their Association .

Under the circumstances , I believe I have done the best I can , hence my resignation. It will be cont ingent upon the newly-el ected representative of the Evening Students' Associa­tion to try and succeed where I have been unable , and , if necessary , to continue this af­fair to the next stage of pro­ceedings . If in a University there is no room for rational men to reason together, what hope is there for society?

Respectfully yours , Bill O'Mahoney,

President , E.S.A., 1973-1974.

.At Sir George photos by Grace Jeffries

C. Vissa Engineering Graduate J have been a Sir George student for the past 12 years. I am also a graduate student so I don 't have the time to partici ­pate in any activities ! I am married so that whatever time I can spend I spend with my family . Whatever changes could be made does not involve me and I cannot comment.

Pearl Gluck Arts IV I think the evening students aren 't involved enough in what's going on in the university. If they are in Sir George they are busy studying or in lectures . I find with the guidance department that I experienced difficulty - maybe they could look into such affairs. We don 't really have much to say as far as teacher evaluat ion is concerned.

Anne-Marie Millner Arts Graduate I have always wanted to know where the money in the ESA goes to . I think a complete break-down of ESA funds , and how much is allotted for different activities should be made public. At least that is what I would like to see .

N. Gattuso Commerce I I am concerned about the student activity fee. I think this should vary depending on the student. It is not fair that one should pay it if they do not belong to any clubs or do not have the time .

John Deans Arts IV The only thing that bugs me is the parking . You come all the way downtown and discover there is no place to park your car. Its difficult to say what could be done to improve the situation of the E.S.A. because I don't have enough time to become involved.

what changes or programs they would like to see implemented in their Councils for next year.

At Loyola Moische Palassian Commerce II " I didn 't have any contact with them. I wouldn 't have anything to do with them . I am not inside the university life. I don't have enough time to develop any social life in the university."

Carol Carriere, Arts II " I am not too involved . But it certainly encourages people to go back to school and continue their education at night. There is a lot going on and a lot of variety. It is very difficult to get into university life. Perhaps it

. would be a good idea to abolish such associations and allow the university to handle their affairs. " ·

Peter Jacek, Commerce II " I don't think anything about the Loyola Evening Students Association. The Day Students ' Assocation is okay ."

Erwin Witicucki, Arts IV . " I haven 't had any direct contact with them. I really haven't needed to . They seem to be a sincere bunch of people that are trying to get something done. "

Kevin Passavalla, Arts II " I don't think it does do too much for the Evening Students. They don 't do too much to gef to know us . The L.S .A. does a much better job on the whole. "

A Review of Evening Student News ~by Roy Ostling ·

The E.S.A. How would the average

evening student who spends between two to six hours on campus each week evaluate the academic and extra curricular side of university life?

Does he develop a feeling of personal involvement in the community , or does the part­time student, having worked all day and attended classes at night , remain -unconcerned and apathetic? Indeed , does his lack of participation in student affairs result in the develop­ment of student government which is neither representative nor productive?

This year, 9,800 evening students at Si r George paid their six dollars fee to an Association paralysed by in­fighting and legal battles which was , at best , a mockery of student government. Compara­tively speaking , at Loyola, eveni_ng students were provided with programs which reflected a student-interested associa­tion , and while Loyola's stu­dent body may not be more act­ively involved than their Sir George counterparts , Loyola student leaders did remember the responsibility of their positions to their voters.

The antipathetic attitude of the E.S.A. to issues outside of Council Business was clearly revealed during the five-week

ESA President Bill O'Mahony

strike at Sir George. The University adm in istration and the National Union of Sir George Williams University's Employees (NUSGWE) had been negotiating for seven months when in late Septem­ber, talks stalemated and a full strike resulted . While the Day Students Association of Sir George was slow to take a stand, eventually, student con­cern over the denial of l ibrary privileges ..resulted in a D.S.A. motion advocating a temporary boycott and endorsed the action of professors in cancel­ling classes. Before the student boycott could take effect, Rector Dr . John O'Biren enter­ed into the negotiations forced by these pressures and on October 22nd , the strike ended.

Evening students at the poll

The library workers demands were satisfied with a salary of $100 weekly for the lowest classification and improved benefits including better job security, job descriptions and longer sick leave .. .

The E.S.A. Council 's posi­tion during the strike was Vague and ineffective. Association President O'Mahoney voiced more concern over abuse of university property by stickers displayed on the front doors of the Hall Building than the effect of the strike on evening students. The E.S.A. Council finally voted to send a strong letter to the Board of Gover­nors , protesting both the strike and deadlocked negotiations .

Council activities from the beginning of November until the end of February centred on the efforts of a faction-split counci I to remove the V. P. External George Proussaefs from office . Proussaefs was suspended from representing evening students on all univer­sity committees and council itself in September. His sus­pension was based on his activities which included : hav­ing other members of council detained in jail without proper cause , misuse of the E.S.A . truck and "a generally disrup­tive attitude against the E.S.A. and the University Commun­ity." Proussaefs was complete­ly suspended from the E.S.A. Council in November on charges tabled stemming " from

. a gross abuse of authority" described as unauthorized ex­penditures of E.S.A . monies and its gasoline credit card . Council spent much of its time during meetings attempting to draw up appropriate procedure to bring Proussaefs. to trial. Lawyer Irving Handelman was brought in to aid the E.S.A. with their legal and con­stitutional difficulties in regard ot the Proussaefs affair. Hand­elman 's services cost the E.S .A. some $980.00.

The battle between members of the E.S.A. Council and V.P. External Proussaefs culminat­ed in his reinstatement on the Council in full power on January 31st , 197 4. The time and money spent by the Association in attempting to discipline one member resulted in a substantial lack of planned activities for evening students. While such activities as Even­ing student clubs flourished during the past year the credit for their efficient organization must go to the members of those clubs rather than the Association which merely transferred cash to support their activities.

The grand finale of the internal wrangling of the E.S.A. with all its charges and counter-charges was the uni­versity 's suspension of its constitutution , and imposition of trusteeship . On March 4th, 197 4, the Executive Steering Committee of the Board of Governors passed a resolution stating that "in view of - the manifest failure of the Evening Students' Association to con­duct its affairs in a way that merits the continued support of the university , the constitution of the E.S.A. is herewith suspeneded. " The Board 's de-

Mr. John L. Porter

cision was based on the E.S.A. 's difficulties over the past year and alleged possible tamperir.g with election results via the Sir George Computer Centre. E.S.A. Council mem­bers, President Bill O'Mahony, V. P. External John Mulvaney , · V. P. External George Prous­saefs, Executive Secretary Pat King , Commerce Rep . J.P. Olinick, Partial Rep . Sonia Lupu, Engineering Rep. David Giggey and Science Rep. Kwiatowski all signed a petition against trusteeship · and filed for a Superiour Court injunction. Giggey however later withdrew his support from the petition and did not testify in court.

George Proussaefs

E.S.A. Trusteeship Injunction Hearing

A preliminary injunction was granted the E.S.A. by the Quebec Superior Court al low-

ing them to hold their elections under supervision of trustee John L. Porter. The election turn-out was typically poor with 740 out of a possible 9,000 evening students casting bal­lots. George Proussaefs of the 'Concordia Merger Slate' was was elected President. The final interlocutory injunction hearing was held on Monday, March 4th, 197 4 with the seven of the eight E.S.A. plaintiff petitioners in attendance along with representatives of the Sir George administration .

During the hearing, the question of whether the trusteeship resolution drawn up by the Executive Steering Committee of the Board of Governors in their March 4th meeting was justified or not, was argued by lawyers repre­senting the E.S.A . and the university. The E.S.A. indivi­dual plaintiffs were called upon to testify along with adminis­tration trustee John L. Porter, Chairman of the Board of Governors Jack Duff, and Board Member Paul Gallagher. During trial proceedings numerous copies of the E.S.A. journal "The Paper" and letters of complaint filed filed via the Dean of Students were used to attempt to demonstrate the internal disharmony of the Association 's Council and dif­ficulties with election proce­dure.

Trusteeship

Pending the judgement of whether or not a permanent injunction will be granted the E.S.A. petitioners the Sir George administration has named three members to ward future Board of Trustees . They are Director of the Sir George Computer Centre and chartered accountant John L. Porter, Lawyer Richard Pound and Past E.S.A. President and presently a graduate student at Sir George, Peter Kontakas .

The trustees are to be responsible to the Board of Governors through the Rector and to remain in office until

dismissed by the Board. Their prospective mandate includes assuming interim responsiblity for all fiscal and non-fiscal matters within the jurisdiction of the E.S.A. Executive Coun­cil . They are also to arrange a

full auditing of the financial affairs of the E.S .A. together with any independent opera­t ions and to make public the results . The Board of Trustees is also to prepare a public report on representation and the needs of the Evening Student Body and make any recommendations they judge appropriate .

If trusteeship is in fact supported by the courts it could provide a chance for the undertaking of an effective survey of evening needs within the university community and how they can best be filled. Such a survey could provide the answer to what . is needed to involve the evening students in their Association and stimulate their integration into the University Community itself .

The L.E.S.A.

The Loyola Evening Students' Association had a quiet year in comparison to the Sir George Evening Students' Association. The L.E.S.A. Council initiated plans for an organization for part-time students (0.P.U.S.) conference scheduled for the first week in May. Evening Students from universities across Canada are attending to take part in workshops and discussions dealing with the special needs of the part-time students. The L.E.S.A. also organized services for Evening Students on the Loyola campus such as writing labs and library orientation days. They also forwarded a motion to the Concordia Senate recommen­ding that a bilingual degree

program be offered at Concor­dia.

The L.E.S.A. elections held in March of this year resulted in Marika Csatary-Kontra being elected President of the new Council. Merger talks between the L.E.S.A. and the E.S.A. stalled after the elections , due to the trusteeship issue at Sir George.

Concordia Merger

The Sir George-loyola Mer­ger was still in the stages of provincial government approval at the end of the academic year. The Loyola Day Students' Association organized a cam­paign at the end of January to protest Loyola's inferior positi­on in terms of representation on Concordia governing Bod-

Father Patrick Malone

ies . Both the students and professors became actively involved in the "Whatever Happened to Loyola" campaign and they drafted motions

calling fo r Loyola on all Senate Committees . The concern at Loyola t hat Sir George was imposing its structures on Loyola th rough its majority on Senate and other bodies continued . The newly elected L.S.A. co-presidents Irwin Kat­sot and Peter Loucks launched a verbal assault on Concordia's Rector John O'Brien claiming he manipulated t he Board of Governors into empowering a Concordia Computer Science Committee that was in their opinion really an extension of a Sir George Commiteee. The committee contained only two representatives from the Loyola Campus . The Loyola Campus dissension over the merger was not eased by a statement from the Sir George administration saying in effect that Sir George's greater representation on Senate Committees was deliberate and that the two institutuions are unequal.

Malone's Resignation

The end of March brought the surprising and shocking news of Loyola Rector Father Patrick Malone's resignat ion. Malone was Loyola's first President and thirteenth Rector. His departure is scheduled for the end of the 1974 academic year. Father Malone's resignation came at an historic moment in Loyola's history with the merger with Sir George all but passed in the provincial legis­lature. His resignation was not connected with the delay in government approval of the amalgamation . of the two institutions.

Dining Out With the Staff Bengal Lancers Restaurant 1187 Bishop St.

One doesn't choose a place to dine because of the front door. One doesn 't, usually, but after seeing the beautiful copper-covered front door of Bengal Lancers we were , so · to speak , hooked.

Situated on Bishop between St. Catherine and Dorchester this delightfully intimate Indian Restaurant is geared to the individual - both in palate and decore. Except for an unas­suming sign outdoors, it could easily escape notice as just another private home.

But if one should notice the well-crafted copper door, one will , before long , find one's feet drifting towards it , to touch it , to examine the grooves, and inevitably to see what charm it hides - a voyage of discovery for the artistic senses as well as the taste buds.

The menu, also a beautiful piece of hand-carved wood, is varied and moderately priced. After consultation with our host , by now well accustomed to novice as well as experien­ced palates in Indian foods , we started by sharing appetizers of shami kebab ($1 .25) and vegetable pakora (.75) . The kebab are minced steak patties with onions and served with tomato, cucumber, and lemon­wedges. The pakora are cauli­flower , onion and green pep­pers, spiced and cooked in a light batter.

A scrumptious beginning led to !l main course of Rhogan Josh., a lamb curry marinated and made with onion, toma­toes, and spices ($4.25) for my friend; while I decided to try the Shrimp and Mushroom Curry ($3.95). Both arrived in steam­ing casserole dishes accom­panied by ·perfectly-cooked rice. Although both dishes were mild , they were perfectly spiced , tasty but not uncom­fortable.

Dessert was the biggest surprise as neither my friend nor I had tried any Indian

desserts before. Guiab jaman (.75) little balls of thickened milk , deep-fried and served with hot syrup , our host informed us, originated as a condensed protein supplement in the Indian diet. _ We also shared Gajar halva (.75) a pudding made with grated carrots , milk, sugar, dried fruits and almonds. Both are served warm , originally due to lack of refrigeration in India, and are light with a high protein base - always an attraction to diet-consious Westerners .

We left Bengal Lancers fully satiated and content with the world a sure sign of successful cuisine. An __ en-

chanting and moderately­priced little restaurant , it can be as formal as a dinner-date, or as informal as a lunch break , catering to appetites of differ­ent sizes and tastes. It is highly recoi;nmended for those who still appreciate that personal touch . And the bar (lest I forget) during the happy hour asks a reasonable 50 cents for a beer and $1 .00 for a mixed drink.

One Student's Experience

Hitch~hiking in Europe by Peter LaRiviere

Having spent nine weeks in Europe last summer and hitched four thousand miles through seven countries during that time, I feel that my experi­ence gives me a good picture of the life of a hitchhiker.

There are two attitudes to­wards the art of hitchhiking . One is that it is a cheap means of getting from A to B. With this kind of attitude you are lucky if you reach B. To me it is a means of communicating through body language to a passing motorist that you wish

·to communicate directly with him . If one takes this attitude , then hitching can be exciting and adventurous . Over my nine week stay I spent three weeks in Spain , three weeks in Eng­land , one week in Holland and two weeks straight travelling. This means that I was avera­ging over 250 miles per day.

Each time I was given a ride, it was like having a guided tour through that country. I wasn't listening to a prepared speech written by someone who ob­tained their information from a tourist guide book while at the same time I felt that I left people with some impression of a Canadian and his lifestyle.

During my rides we passed many kids lying on the roadside shabbily dressed and dirty­looking . The people I was with would comment that they would never pick up such peo­ple . When one begs for a lift he is immediately labeled a beg­gar, or tramp , or hippie, etc . It should be remembered that you are a visitor and that lying along the roadside does not rmake a very good impression .

In every country I visited I tried to learn a few words in that country's language , and in this way I was trying to adapt to their lifestyle . Many visitors expect the locals to change their lifestyles in order to com­municate with the tourist but I found that most people accep­ted me once I showed an inte­rest in them and their country.

times I received door to door service . Without asking, people went out of their way to see that I was on the right road.

Surely the art of hitchhiking was involved in bringing about this seemingly good luck . Per­haps I should mention that the trip started with some luck. I won th& airplane tickets to Copenhagen at a blood drive at Sir George Williams University.

Some people are under the impression that it is better to travel lightly with only a change of socks , underwear, spare shirt and a tooth brush . With this type of thinking one can 't help but depend on people .

· That is just like giving a spoon to a ditchdigger and telling him to go to work. I spent many hours going over my list of essentials and throughout my trip there was nothing I did not use, and nothing was missing. My pack weighted forty pounds , and I even carried a pup tent which I used on three occasions . Some camping utensils came in handy for cooking in hotel rooms now and then to keep within my budget. I was also able to do my own washing, and a cloths­line was also included in my pack. As you can see, hitchhiking can be as comfort­able as you want to make it. Throughout my trip I slept in three hostels, three times in my tent and the rest of the time in hotels and pensions. The nicest hotel was the one on the Island of Ibiza, Spain , where my window overlooked the

octopus, squid, grouper, rabbit and sangria . There were very few occasions when I went hungry. One would think that I must have had plenty of money to live as I did . Well , I left Canada with $600. and when I arrived back in Copenhagen nine weeks later I had forty dollars left. Overall I averaged approximately $9 .50 per day . If I had wanted to, I could have done it on a lot less but not enjoyed my trip as much.

To relate my adventures day by day would be too lengthy, but the following summary will give you an idea of what happened .

I left. Copenhagen June 6th, 1973, and not knowing what hitching would be like I figured on two w.eeks to get to Spain. On June 10th I arrived in San Sebastien, Spain, and decided to stop for a day to catch my breath. During this first leg O·f my journey, I had spent four enjoyable days in France. The hitching was unexpectedly good for I had read that France was not amiable towards Hitchhikers . My French is far from perfect but I can make myself understood , and during my four days in France my French .. improved a great 9eal. My longest wait was an hour, but it was worth it for I received a very comfortable ride in a Citroen which I will always remember. After giving me a lift to Bordeaux he stopped at a bar and I said that I would buy him a drink. He refused, saying "when in France the French-

I used destination signs twice but found that body lang­uage was more effective . Ac­tually the easier one can com­municate with people the easier it is to hitchhike. Certainly in the beginnin·g I had some bad days, but I took what lessons I could from them and forgot about the bad part of the day. Even on these days I never

On many occasions I was per night , including breakfast. happy when I could slow down None of these places were dirty and rest for a few days . For me, or run down, except the hostel hitchhiking was too fast at in Paris . I would say that I lived times for I could set my better than many hitchhikers destination before I knew it I who sometimes end up in parks was there . One time my desti- and cramped dormitories, and I nation was London but I was all?O enjoyed some luxuries planning to see some more of which most hitchhikers only France. I began to hitch just dream of. For example, I was outside of Madrid at 10:30 A. M. scuba diving for a week of the and twenty-four hours later I Island of Ibiza, and also did was standing in front of my some sai Ii ng . I was scuba cousin's house in Gravesend, diving on some old ship wrecks Kent, England . Certainly some off the coast of England among luck was involved but this was the Scilly Isles. While in Spain common occurrence. Most my meals consisted of shrimp,·

man pays". If one goes to France with a negative attitude towards Frenchmen and ex­pecting them to speak English just for you , they you will certainlY. leave with a negative attitude. Another Frenchman who picked me up wrote me · recently to say that he and his wife were coming to Montreal , and would give me a call. It was in France that I received my quickest lift. I was just about to stick my thumb out when a car stopped and would you believe it was a young girl and her Mother. I believe that the girl 's mother was nervous of her daughter's fast driving and

wanted company. Also in France an elderly lady stopped for me. She said that she never picked up hitchhikers but she saw my Canadian flag, and she said you can always trust a Canadian . I certainly hope nobody ruins this kind of reputation.

1 remember the time I had a race with three Australian girls from a hostel in Tours , France to San Sebastien, Spain. They took the train and I hitched . We both left in the morning , although I left a little earlier. They never expected to see me again, so it was a big surprise when on that same day at 8:30 p.m. I walked into the hostel in San Sebastien and sat down beside them. They had only just arrived two hours earlier. That was the one day I r.eally worked at hitching , and looking back on that day I sure used a lot of body language to communicate with passing motorists. With these kind of experiences in France, one would question the statement "hitching is miserable in France" quoted from the Hitchhikers Road Book.

After France I decided to try the trains with the three girls I had met . On June 15th , I arrived at a beach near Barcelona thoroughly discouraged with trains. All you see are flashes of the countryside while talking to other tourists and trying to get into a comfortable position to relax. After several nights of beach partying I left by boat for Ibiza where I spent eleven fantastic days. One typical day went like this : Scuba diving from early morning until noon , then sailing all afternoon. Afterwards I spent a few hours in the swimming pool at a country club followed by a short siesta, and then supper at some night clubing. I would say that this was my most tiring day. After leaving Ibiza by boat , I reached Valencia and then decided to take a train to Madrid. This was definitely a mistake and from then on I vowed never to take a train unless absolutely necessary . I spent several days in Madrid to recuperate and take in a Bull fight . From Madrid I hitched to · England where I spent three weeks visiting some relatives near London , Devon and Wales. In each case people gave me lifts from doorstep to doorstep. I could actually d_etermine within a hour what time I would reach my destination . Since I had a week to spare due to . my speedy traveling, I went over to the Scilly Isles, off the south west coast of England. There I met some fellow divers and spent a week scuba diving in search of sunken treasure. ,On one dive I uncoverd a brass porthole from a ship which sank in 1893. Since I could not part with it , I decided to bear the burden of another five pounds in my back pack. After England I went to Holland where I looked up a family

, whom I had met holidaying in Ibiza. They had told me to drop

by on my return trip. I lived wfth them for four days, and thus experienced the Dutch way of life . Nearly every day I spent commuting into Amsterdam playing the typical tourist role. One day Rob (a member of the Dutch family) took me up to the Northern Isles of Holland . There we participated in a sport which very few tourists see, called WADLOOPSPORT. When the tide is out it leaves miles of flat clay like sand. The idea is to walk out to these islands which are some seven miles away . At times one sinks knee deep in sand , and other times must wade through neck high streams. A guide is necessary so that you are not drowned when the tide returns. It sounds weird but it is quite an experience.

What makes Europe the place it is? It is the people, and the most effective way t?. meet these people in a sho? period of time is by hitchhik­ing. A city is a city anywhere in the world but what differe')~ tiates cities is the people an~ · their customs. The trouble with a tourist's view is that it is lik~ looking through a small window. All they see are buildings both old and new, and other tourists. For me that is not the way to visit Europe. Sure I visited some museums and saw a great deal of hi story, but I met many Europeans who showed me these things and told me of Europe as it is today .

Every day was a different adventure for me, although at the beginning I never knew exactly what was going to happen or where I would end up. After what I call my one week break-in period to hitchhiking , I was able to plot a course from day to day. When one says that you are totally dependent on people and the direction they are going, this is not quite true . I could pick any place I wished to go and determine when I would arrive there , and most of the time I was correct within a few miles or a few hours .

I left Holland on August 1st and since my return flight was August 4th from Copenhagen, I thought I should take a train to Copenhagen . Then on s~cond thought I decided to rely on my ability of hitchhiking at least to Hamburg, Germany. Well, would you believe that on the morning of August 2nd, I was confirming my return flight at the S.A.S. terminal in Copen-, hagen . After a ten minute hitching attempt in Holland, two cars· stopped for me. They were Californians driving a new Volvo to Sweden to be shipped back home, and they were also going via Copenhagen. Thus ended an adventure which I never expected would happen. My whole adventure could have turned out completely diff~rent if I had left with the wrong attitude towards hitchhiking. Hitchhiking is what you make it , and don't let anyone tell you anything different just because they were not successful.

Mean Streets Beyond the Hollywood Halucination

by Bruce Berman into a performance, is the per­ennial ballbuster buddy. For­ever in trouble, constantly owing people money, walking the streets in constant fear of being spotted, and pridelessly shaming Charlie into helping him out of jams, Johnny Boy is a sadomasochistic existentia-1 i st i n the most unnerving sense: he truly does not care if he l ives or dies but has no qualms about allow ing his pal Charlie to feel his pain for him.

action taking place. Lines such as " Hey , scum­

bag! ... ! saw you girl kissin ' a fuckin ' nigger under the bridge in Jersey ," and the like, are .conveyed with a sense of street "consciousness" that approa­ches documen,tary perfection in their realism , and restores one' s (or at least my) faith in naturalistic dialogue and the notion that exemplary acting need not be confined to the stage or visually impot ent fi lms. What is also significant about these charge moments is that despite the happy-go­lucky , " who g ives a damn?"

attitude they often convey on the surface , racism , pent up hostilities, and emotional sick­ness always manage to subtly (or not so subtly) seep through the characters' facades.

Even Charlie, who we see in one scene apologizing for his outwardly sensitive but fla­grantly bigoted epileptic girl 's degrading remarks intentional­ly directed at a black cleaning woman in a hotel , often gets sucked into the snowballing morass of jungle immorality. On a more personal level , after once living in a neighbourhood so grossly similar to Scorsese's

Mean Streets that only the names need be changed to re­create the drama (and trauma) I lived every day for almost three years , the poignancy of the film 's experience is as savage as it is stark. So stark in fact that Mean Streets , although ultimately negative in its appreciation of the urban ghetto experience , steeped in its myriad of urban tensions, is probably the finest all around commercial release since . The Godfather, and certainly one of the most entertain ingly pene­trating American features since Wei les' Citizen Kane.

It is little wonder why often glib 'New Yorker critic Pauline Kael , who wrote the now fam­ous piece on Last Tango in Paris just after it was screened at the New York Film Festival in October of 1972, penned a comparably hyperbolic rave of Mean Streets , the deserv i ng darl i ng of the 1973 fes t ival. Mean Streets is undeniab ly one of the most powerful , funny re­vealing , frightening , and , above all , most entertaining movies to surface in the last year or so . Director Martin Scorsese, a 31- • year-old graduate of N.Y.U.'s college of cinema studies , and of Who's That Knocking At My Door? directorial , and Wood­stock, Medicine Ball Caravan , and Elvis editorial notoriety , has proved in his most recen t release that he is capable of a great deal more than " merely" eliciting stellar performances from even non-professional ta-

When Johnny Boy impul­sively pulls a revolver on a loan shark-a loan shark who is neurot ically more concerned about how cool he appears to others than about collecting his bread-the shark bites back by hiring a punk gunman (played by Scorsese) to waste pathetic John l'iy Boy. This incident ig­ni tes one of the cinema's more searing f inalities , culminating in a " shoot out " that leaves the viewer uncertain of exactly who survives the climatic blood · bath , however, quite convinced of the mindless ruthlessness the " streets" can procure .

Although the Security De­partment cannot be held responsible for such an unfor­tun13te incident , especially in the case of small items , neither the day nor the evening guard were aware of the theft. It was only by word of mouth several days later that they were informed of the absence of these two objects . A formal report had not been prepared either by the artists or by the security guards. and three days after the discovery of the theft Chief Security Off icer Roland Barnaby had still not heard anyth ing about the incident.

Neither student is plann ing to instigate and inquiry or look into the possibility that these objects may be returned . At one t ime the un iversity provid­ed insurance against theft of stolen works of art but th is had to be discontinued because of the numerous insurance claims that were made . At present Sir George provides no reimbur­sement for stolen works of art

and students are warned ahead of time that they exhibit works at their own risk .

Although the objects taken were of little or no monetary value , they were the major evidence of grading as in the case of Ms . Marleau , whose sculpture was the product of her whole second term 's work .

Blaming security procedures at this point would be useless . One does wonder, however, with a guard on duty outside the gallery at all hours , how a heavy cement sculpture or a 2' by 1 V2' painting could be carried out and escape notice.

tn the same vein, London records have released a very old Decca album called "From Genesis to Revelation" made by the group that eventually became the Genesis that we have today. My copy is from Scorpio Records on McKay St. and it is the British Import of the original album released in 1969. That's right, the album is no less than 5 years old. So it is in no way a NEW Genesis album or even a Genesis album

at all really , since the group had no name at that time).

The album itself is not that good. It finds its value as a col­lectors item for hardened Genesis freaks only. It is basi­cally a late sixties progressive folk album. None of the songs is any where near as impressive . as any of the five Genesis al­bums that followed it. One of three songs are not that bad. The best of the lot are; "In the Beginning" ; "The Serpent"; and "The Conqueror" . These have the foundation of some of the future songs by the group. The production is rather crude and sometimes sounds like they had fun trying the various effects.

So, if you are a die-hard Genesis freak this album is a must, if you .don't know the group pick a later one to find out where th·ey're at.

So, it is the end of another year. I hope you all had a good one. I had a ball writing for you. I hope to do the same for you next year . Musically the year wasn't so great. The best album was " On the Third Day" by the Electric Light Orchestra", and the worst was " Eat It" by Humble Pie. The best show was the Genesis show on Nov. 10, 1973. The best party was the A.S.A . bash.

So, don't forget to go see Harold and his friends throwing knives in the Dusk at the Harle­quin while she mourns For Absent Friends near the Foun­tain of Salmacis along with Can Utility and his Coastliners as they go skinny dipping in the Firth of Fifth, under the gaze of that original peeping Tom, the Watcher of the Skies.

Une guerre est debutee depuis 1961 . Les ouerres, ca ne manque pas, sauf celles de ce style. AMNESTY est un guerre impliquant la conscience. Arme : pression morale, but: liberte d'opinion, champ de bataille : chaque pays de cette foutue planete. ·

En 1961 done, un avocat Anglais, Peter Benenson, ayan-t ete implique de pres dans des proces de prisonniers poll­tiques, en divers pays et ayant constate son impuissance a aider seul les milliers d'innocents, femmes et hommes, persecutes a cause de leurs croyance religieuse ou politique, cet avocat done decide de fonder AMNESTYINTERNATIO­NAL.

A l'Universite Sir George Williams, un groupe affilie a ce mouvement, est en cours de se former et a la rentree de l'annee academlque 1974-75-en Octobre-une semaine d'information est projetee. Je les devance.

Une organisation humanitaire-dont la strategie en est une de totale lmpartialite-sans attaches polltiques, ni reli­gieuses, 'Amnesty', ne s'occupe que des cas de conscience, prisonniers n'ayant pas utilise la violence dans la manifesta­tion de leurs convictions.

La tac;on d'operer est la suivante: un cas d'arrestation est signale au Departement de la Recherche d'Am·nesty. Les composantes du cas font alors l'objet d'une enqu~te et si le prisonnier victime d'arrestation indue satisfait aux condi­tions d'adoption , lui ou elle, et sa famille sont pris en charge par un comite d'action du mouvement Amnesty. Le gou­vernement responsable de la situation du prisonnier ainsi que le autorites de la prison font alors l'objet d'appels ur­gents, continus et harassants, a reconsiderer la situation et relacher le prisonnier. Des lettres sont 'bombardees' non seulement aux Ministres du Gouvernement, aux ambassades, aux journaux de pointe, mais aussi aux organisations inter­nationales, au prisonnier lui-m~me, sa parente, son cercle d'amis et connaissances. Si possible, des fonds monetaires seront amasses pour accelerer la liberation eventuelle.

Les signatures de personnes influentes sont recherchees en ce qui concerne les petitions de protestations. En cas d'urgence, proces controverses, danger pour la vie de la vic­time, diplomates et juristes eminents sont rassembles en lieu requis.

Les cas de plus en plus nombreux de prisonniers relaches, tendent a confirmer que la methode d'Amnesty en est une adequate. Le mouvement est maintenant reconnu comme etant un organisme independant, effectif et avec des realisa­tions et initiatives a la defense des principes des Droits de l'Homme.

Un des principaux objectifs est d'apporter aide et assis­tance aux families des prisonniers adoptes. Lorsque requis, des subventions seront accordees pou-r payer des etudes, des besoins primordiaux-nourriture, vetements-et meme en quelques cas, afin d'aider l'ex-prisonnier a se remettre d'aplomb la liberation effectuee. Amnesty publie quelques pamphlets susceptibles de rendre compte de ses activites dans le monde, mais aussi de denoncer les irregularites ayant lieu! 'The Chronicle of Current Events', journal 'non­officiel ' du Mouvement des Droits Civils en U.R.S.S., 'Report of an Enquiry into Allegations of Ill-Treatment in Northern Ireland', 'Report on Allegations of Torture in Brazil'.

Com me disait Albert (Camus): Nous devons assumer l'impossibilite d'echapper a la souffrance commune et accepter que notre seule raison d'etre, s'i l en est une, est de temoigner pour ceux qui ne le peuvent.

Inutile d'insister sur le fait evident qu" ErJ Vrac' fut pour moi une premiere tentative.

Choose the lightest sprays, and hang them with the stems upwards on cords stretched across the top of the . vessel so that they do not touch the bottom. They will attract the alum in the process of cr.ystalliza­tion like the threads in sugarcandy.

The warmer the solution when they are put in the smaller will be the crystals attached to them, but care must be taken that it be not hot enough to destroy the leaves or fronds, and if there be any berries like holly it must be hardly lukewarm.

The same solution warmed again will do two or three bouquets.

George Athans

by Cameron Grant After winning two consecu­

tive World Water Ski Champ­ionships, being named Cana­dian Amateur Athlete of the year twice , and voted into the Canadian Amateur Hall of Fame, what's next for George Athans?

According to a certain French sportswriter, George Athans is going into retire­ment . George was interviewed in Quebec City shortly after being named Quebec 's Ama­teur Athlete of the year and be­cause his ability to converse in French is not exactly up to par, the reporter unravelled and printed a story which cultivated an ever growing rumor concer­ning George's retirement.When asked to comment upon his resignation George said simp­ly, "C'est un mythe".

What hopefully is next for Athans is a third championship title . " No one has ever won three championships and I be­lieve I've got a pretty good chance ."

George recently joined the Canadian Pro fessional Snow Ski Circuit and commented on whether the Olympic Ruling (which states if you are a pro in one sport your status is pro in all others) would jeopardize him in defending his title at the World Water Ski Championship in 1975, George had this to say about the Olympic Ideal and professional and amateur sta­tus: "While the sport of water skiing , unlike most competitive sports , has never distinguished between amateurs and profes­sionals , we .also have not hid­den behind the shields of ama­teurism using the double stan­dard so common to the majori -

ty of sports professionalism is , in my opinion a legitimate part of most technological societies as much as I support the Olym­pic Ideal , the present rules are totally outdated and support an elitist point of view based on influence.

Is influence the prerequisite for involvement or participation in sport? I had to turn to pro­fessionalism in order to sup­port myself , remain a water skier and attend university . However, the real question is , how many potentially superb athletes had to stop sports al­together because they or their parents cou Id not afford the high costs of facilities , training and travel? How many athletes in Canada have been made able to grasp the talent from within them and reach for the top?

Look at Canada's results at the last Olympic Games . I don 't feel sports-governing bodies should be concerned with who makes a dollar or two from a particular sport , because those who do have sacrificed greatly to reach a position of complete expertise ."

On ·August 19, 1973, Canada marked its entry into profes­sional water skiing with the Benson and Hedges 100 Inter­national. Th is year, five pro tournaments are planned and a Pro World Wide Circuit with skiers from England , Sweden , Australia , South Africa , the U.S. and Canada is in the making .

"All those skiers who are not in a position to win money from skiing , namely the recreational skiers in Canada , might ask themselves what good is pro­fessional water skiing. My ans­wer is that the net resu It of

Pennant Fever Gets · Early_ Start by Rob Jadah

Even before the last hurrahs have faded and died among the rafters of North American hockey rinks , baseball has begun its siege of fandom 's minds. · .

The Robin and the Spald ing have returned north and close behind it must be the warm breath of summer.

It is with this in mind that The Concordian is proud to present a special and exclusive baseball report compiled by the sports staff of this p ubl ication .

This succint and pointed analysis is prepared with the assistance and wisdom of one of major league baseball 's greatest sages and a res ident of Quebec : Bernard La Colle. The National League: East

Nobody wanted this division last year and it was little wonder. Few teams have the unmitigated gall to stagger. into post-season play with just a flicker over .500 ball as a beacon . Onl y t he New York Mets swallowed the ir pride on the second-to-last day of the schedule and decided , " Oh , what the hell ?" The other f ive East division teams ro lled out the tarp to cover what had been an un impressive year for baseball , although a ref resh ing injection of equality was the

resul t of the East's inability to find a pace-setter.

Th is year , it should be different .

Like sink ing ships , both the Ch icago Cubs and the Pitts­burg Pirates bailed out their excess baggage. The Pirates received buoyancy in return ; the Cubs received lead ton­nage. The Montreal Expos , meanwhile , spent the winter months savoring the exciting flavours of competitivenss and woke up this spring with a taste in their mouths that could lead them to their best season ever. The St. Louis Cardinals made a valiant decision to turn a deaf ear on the old adage that 'pitching is 80% of the game' as they dispatched two front -I iners to the American League. Their tidy house-clean­ing brought many youngsters over as house-guests and how long they 'll stay dictates the Card chances for 197 4. The New York Mets swagger into the new season with the same old bunch that lodged a .509 winning percentage last sum­mer . The Mets fluke-bin is the only thing larger than Tom Seaver's bank account starting this season and by year's end both should be . heading towards shorter supply. An

then there's that other East Division team , which has been down so far for so long that people forget who they are . Whatever they call themselves , though , they're bound to tiptoe past somebody in the not-too­distant future.

The National League East Division will look like this in September: 1. Pirates .. . . still weak on pitching but offset by bats 2. Cardinals . ... · the team for which all the trades will work 3. Expos ... the pitching_ staff will not hold up 4. Phillies . . . slightly improved , surge ahead by default-5. Mets ... the miracle bag is empty 6. Cubs .. . a rebuilding year should pay in '75 or '76 . The National League: West

Don 't look now but the Reds are aging slowly . Cincinnati has choked more in the last three years than the Boston Strangler ever did . The Red Machine just might be able to evade the energy shortage long enough to put together one last , long drive to the pinnacle but anything can happen in this division . The Naional League West is more stacked than Raquel Welch . The Reds , Dodgers , Astros , and Giants

Baseball Oub Winds-up Up by Rob Jadah

The Sports Illustrated Baseball Club of Sir George Will iams end s a successful season th is week by staging its annual Awards Night.

The elegant soiree , which has over the years become one of Canada's premiere social event s of the chic circuit , is slated for Tuesday evening at 5:00 p.m . at the Baseball Club 's favorite locale : the Student Union on Crescent Street .

All baseball managers, their wives , and various front office people have been invited to the affair as well as some gigantic Concrete Campus celebrities who will partake in the awards presentations .

Most of the silverware is expected to be lugged away by World Series victor Peter Kastanis , whose Pirates will bag the Championship trophy presented last season to the club by O'Keefe Breweries . Kastanis will also take home MVP honours for Dave Giust i and Roberto Clemente , two Bucs who shared the title in the World Series. Also destined for Kastanis ' mantle-piece is the MVP award to

. Richie Hebner , who was voted Most Val uable in the February All-Star game.

Other individual plaudits go out to Gobby's Dusty Baker for the batting crown and Jadah's Carlton Fisk for the Runs-Batted-In derby . Templeton 's Richie Allen will be saluted for the Home Run crown . Gay lo rd Perry and Steve Ray will be honoured for their pitching and those awards will be recieved by their managers Phil Page 20/The CONCORDIAN, April 8, 1974

Snyder and Hughie Skinner respectively. Each pennant winner in the fou r d ivis ions w ill

also be bestowed with unbelievabl e rewards . "We're presenti ng a lot of stuff ," said Umpire

in chief Doug Cully last week , " I don't think you have room to list all of it."

The Commissioner, Rob Jadah , had some kind words for the club 's sponsors this year. " It was really swell of O'Keefe Breweries to come through with some trophies for us ," he said , " shucks we approached them late - very late -and yet they had a few nice things for us . The trophy night WOl,Jld have been extremely difficult without their kind assistance ."

The Day Students ' Association , t he CARNIVAL COMMITTEE , and the Dean of Students ' Office also helped the Baseball Club out , the two former by extending three trophies and the latter with some financial hel p. "The Dean of Students' Office was very hel pfu I," said one team manager . "Without their guidance of the Montreal Expos , my team might never have won a game all year long . "

"The Expos gave away ball games like O'Keefe gives away bas~ball schedules ," grinned Brewer mismanager Drew Morris in agreement.

Umpire in Chief Doug Cully also stated that "while we 're t. an king · everyone, let 's not forget the Evening Students ' Association ."

· But he added , " On second thought. .. "

leave very little to choose from and the Atlanta Braves wi ll unfortunately drag their Su­perman Hank into the base­ment while the Padres inch up .

The Cincinnati Reds , and the Dodgers of course , breezed to the top rungs in the West last year with the Reds eking out a sl im 3V2 game margin .

And the Reds stood fairly pat . over the winter months with

what is generally considered baseball 's most balanced team which requires just a sm idgen of pitching to barge into the Oakland Athletics' World Championship Suite.

But it won 't come this year. The Los Angeles team has sprinted as an also-ran for far too long and with key players like Cey and Lopes now embarking on the crucial so­phomore trip and Mike Marshall jogging into the late-inning fray , the Dodgers are ready for the catapult into f irst .

The Houston Astros will murder every pitching staff in the West except the Dodgers . But of course , every team in the West ·will return the favour at the expense of the Astro pennant chances . The Giants have much the same trouble as the Astros but do have the potential production from Ron

Bryant on the mound. The Giants ' outfield is the best in baseball bu t their infield is suspect.

The Atlanta Braves cannot field , cannot throw , cannot run , cannot pitch but they can hit. And hit . And hit. And hit. They might have to purchase a little go-cart for beleagured Brave mentor Eddie Mathews , how­ever. Mathews could tire very rapidly from the frequent forays to his mound . The Padres boast new .faces right down from the very top . And those new faces will boost the lowly Padres to their most successful season ever and it's only unfortunate for the Padres that success is a way of life in their division . The West will look this way in September: 1. Dodgers . . . overdue for a long time and finally ready . 2. Reds .. . a couple of injuries , problems , and lengths behind . 3. Astros .. . enough double­f igure wins to nose out the Giants 4. Giants ... twin to the Ast ros but a shade worse off on mound 5. Padres . . . good enough to approach .500 but that's all

· 6. Braves .. . Aaron will hit numbers 714 to 755 but can 't help Braves .
