Rate hikes attacked

Ma Bell taken· to task It will be mid-summer before Concordia

knows whether its precedent-setting intervention last month against Bell Canada's proposed rate hike has any impact. ,

Thaf' s when the Canadian Radio­television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is expected to rule on the telephone company's request; a request that, if granted, would increase telephone costs at the univerisity by some 13 per cent or well over $100,000.

There's something about Sergio Leone westerns that sets them apart from all other films of the genre. Discover for yourself what critic Roger Ebert calls Leone's "peculiar sense of style" at the Loyola Summer Film Series, Friday_and Saturday evenings through the end of July. You'll be able to catch such spaghetti western classics as Duck, You Sucker, Once Upon a Time in the West, A Fist(ul of Dollars, and The Long Riders. Check the ~ack page of today's TTR for details or call 879-4336.

In its brief to the CRTC, presented May 19 by Assistant Vice:Rector (Relations and Audit) Andre Laprade, the university argued that its position as a non-profit organization should entitle it to some relief from the financial hardship that will be experienced should it be forced to face yet another increase .

Last year 's rate hike, Laprade noted, increased telephone costs by 20 per cent or $175 ,000 and e(fectively wiped out the close to $100,000 in savings that had been realized through a tightening o f the university' s telephone policies.

A & S council okays curriculum reform By Louise Ratelle

For most Arts & Science Faculty Council members, accepting the special task fore~ report on curriculum was like pushing an elephant through a sieve: difficult and t1me­consuming. But the elephant finally went through, and a revised version of the report was passed by council last month.

The document, first presented to council on Friday, February 13 , contained 15 recommendations which the task force, under the chairmanship of Dean Maurice Cohen, felt "should govern the education of undergraduate students in Arts and Science at Concordia University." The report also recommended "legislative action" to incorporate its principles into the universi ty's degree structures.

Bearing in mind Council Chairman Dean Taddeo' s opening remarks that " the healthiest conclusion is when all issues have been fully aired," Council proceeded, over seven meetings almost exclusively devoted to the discussions, to "air" the issue almost to death.

A reason for what seemed at times excessive bickering over comparatively minor points was a fear that potentially disastrous changes built into the curriculum structure might later prove difficult, if not impossible, to alter.

One of the most contentious points was

the report's recommendation placing a credit limit on any si ngle field or discipline within a given program (honours, · specializations and majors). Argument

' surfaced most noticeably around fields where external cert ification demands a higher credit attainment than those which the document would allow.

The Order of Chemists, for example, requires 55 credits from a university program, whereas the report originally

recommended than no more than 36 and 48 credits from a single discipline be allowed fo'r major and honours programs respectively. In the final version of the report, this was upped to 36 and 54 for the same programs, with a 60-credit limit for an honours degree. A rider also states that "exception may be made for programmes where external considerations such as established professional standards require

Pomp & circulllstance: Convocation '81

It's that time of year again, when colleges and universities the world over pull out the stops for the big celebration that marks the release of yet another crop of graduates into the outside world .

At about this time, faculty members are getting their dusty and often eccentric hoods and gowns out of mothballs, parents are making certain that their cameras are in working order and graduating students are starting to feel nostalgic about the past few years and apprehensive about those to come.

The Thursday Report enters into the spirit of the season with a special four­page salute to spring convocation at Concordia. In this issue, you'll find profiles of some of this year's graduates and honorary degree candidates. There's also a light look at graduation by the inimitable Graeme Decarie and a special convocation edition of AT A GLANCE.- It all begins on page 3.

considerable .media attention. Although the phone company hasn't commented on these requests, Laprade reports that Bell's initial reaction to the suggestion that Concordia be used for future field trials of new equipment has been favourable. This, reads

' the brief, might be one way of upgrading the university's phone system in the long run.

In defending its position, the university pointed out that : • while Bell is seeking approval to charge more for its services, Concordia student fees are frozen by government decree; • Bell claims to be seeking just treatment of its employees, but Concordia would hardly be doing likewise by· earmarking part of the 70 per cent of its operating budget that is normally devoted to salaries to help cover increased telephone costs; • while Bell insists-that it must maintain and expand its network , Concordia can neither afford to integrate the different · telephone systems on its two campuses nor modernize its equipment ; and • while Bell sees its financial health deteriorating beyond acceptable limits, Concordia's financial situation is so bad that provincial trusteeship regulations will soon apply.

According to Laprade, this is the first time any university has challenged rate hikes before a regulatory board such as the CRTC. MG

Despite austerity

Library project still looks good By Minko Sotiron

By the end of June, the university expects to know whether or not the government will finance the proposed library project. In an information session on non-library space held May I 5, J. P. Petolas, assistant vice-rector for physical resources, said that such grants traditionally are announced through orders­in-council, usually in June .

Petolas was guardedly optimistic about the university's prospects. "I don' t expect much delay," he said, adding, "Informal talks that we've had with the ministry indicate that our plans are progressing.''

Moreover, there have been two good signs, he said. The education ministry has requested to see the library building program, and it wants the university to provide it with the proposed library budget in updated ' I 981 dollars:

According to Petolas, planned financing would come from three sources. Of the

of the answer lay in the particular financing the government used for constructing new buildings. The government would not raise the capital through taxation but rather by borrowing on the financial markets. Thus, building the library would not be part of the operating budget of Concordia.

Petolas also pointed out that the buildii:ig would save money in the long run by consolidating all the space that the university now rents in scattered locations.

A curious aspect of non-library space was revealed by the information session's chairman, John McCabe, manager of architectural services. Because the library would be builton land now partly occupied by two burnt-out apartment buildings, a city y-law requires that the university replace that lost housing. For the moment, the university is considering returning several of the Mackay annexes to private rental space.

If the library gets the green light from Quebec, completing the project would take slightly more than three years, according to Roland Beaudoin, director of physical planning: one year for producing working drawings, three months for tenders, and two years for construction.

During the question period, Professor Robert White of the Centre for Building Studies made a plea to reduce or eliminate parking space in the new building. He suggested this would be a good way to reduce costs on the total package by making better use of the limited space.

Another information session is planned for the fall.

All in the name of religion: Two Georgetown University gay groups have won the first stage in their battle against a university policy that has denied them funding.

The university's claim that it is exempted by the constitutional provision

and the graduate awards committee;

On silliness, grandeur, honeypot ants, universities and graduation By Graeme Decarie

As with any ritual, there is something grand about convocation,- something silly under the grandeur, and something truly great under the silliness. Graduands; their guests, and those faculty members equipped with mirrors will be sensitive to the grandeur. Some students will pick up on the silliness. As for the truly great-well, you have to think about it; but it's there.

There'-s no doubt about the grande r: It's a real charge to parade before the awestruck wearing a hood and gown. That' s especially true if you were wise enough to graduate from a university that has crimson gowns with those round, floppy caps with gold tassels. But even a black gown looks pretty good. I mean, there you are. You 've made it. You're entitled to a gown. It's one of those achievements in a class with ma'ving up from .diapers to a training pottie, or getting your first Boy Scout knife . And then the music starts up and you parade in and everybody clap~. That ' s living.

Of course, wherever people are involved, there's bound to be silliness. Under those proud gowns, it's still just you and me and old Professor Fuzzbuzz whose lectures have been compared to the droning of an elderly bee on a lazy summer afternoon. And there's Professor Tweedle, the authority on Rabelais who blushes whenever a female student asks a question. And there's Prpfessor Crouch, the malicious old biddy who shafted you in the final exam. Who do they think they are in those gowns? Who do we think we are?

We, all of us, graduands and faculty in those gowns, are honeypot ants; that's what we are. And there's something truly great about that. What? You've never heard of honeypot ants? I guess that's not surprising. They never get to appear in processions, and they'd certainly look silly, even sillier than us, if they did. Honeypot

ants don't get out much at all, actually. They're grotesquely fat things"than hang from the ceilings of dark ant caves. As ether al).ts return from the hunt, they stuff food into the mouths of the dangling . honeypot ants so that they daily become more and more bloated in their dismal lairs .. No, honeypot ants aren't the sort one wants to party with or whisk off to Club Med. But they're very useful all the same, for the food that makes them so grotesque is the food that keeps the whole ant colony

alive through the lean winter months . That, in part, is what universities are,

great caves hung with honeypot ants stuffed with millenia of human learning. The force feeding distorts us a little, makes us a little less fit to join in the life outside the caves, but, oh , it's important that, unattractive and silly as we are, we are there. So, welcome all you new honeypot ants. After the years of feeding, and before the years of supplying, you deserve a little ceremony.

An honorary group of seven By Sally Ann Famy

Seven prominent Canadians will be recognized by Concordia for their outstanding contributions when they receive honorary degrees at five spring convocation ceremonies from June 9 to 17.

The Honourable Chief Justice of the Quebec Superior Court, Jules Deschenes, will be awarded an honorary doctorate at the Faculty of Arts and Science convocation June 14, at 2:30 p.m., in the Athletic Complex at Loyola.

Film · students rate top marks· By Minko Sotiron

Every April , film production students have a screening of the films they produced during the school year. This year, unfortunately, The Thursday Report was unable to attend the affair.

Admonishing TTR for missing the event, Andre Herman, head of the film production program, claimed that several of the student films were so good they rivaled the best films, professional or otherwise, produced in Quebec this year.

To prove his point, he held a special screening of four of the best student films, three of whic_h were produced by graduating students and the fourth by .a second-year student.

According to this reviewer, Herman was right. Without exception, each of the four films was brilliantly executed and would stand up to the best produced in Quebec this year.

The first film, entitled Terminal Man and produced by graduating student Ray Roth , · had a clever plot, dealing with what might happen when a computer falls in love with its programmer. "You can't leave me, Bob", the computer intones in a seductive voice as the programmer desperately and unsuccessfully tries to leave town. The well­acted fiim makes it quite clear on how computers could run our lives.

While <;a Va Bien, produced by graduating students Ronald Houle and Raymond Vermatte, does not have a clear­cut plot like Terminal Man, it nonetheless

delivered a surrealistic message about the disjointed structure of modern city life. Its images of television life juxtaposed with the "reality" of colour scenes in the film were startlingly effective.

The third film VIED. EAU by Bruno Dayan, a second-year student, was a veritable explosion of experimental colour. I've never seen such bright colours nor seen them used in such a provocative manner . The film also dealt with the discordancy of modern life by focussing on junk food and fads in a hyper-realistic manner.

/ The last film, Second Jtory Man, had

more of a plot althou not a word was spoken. Produced graduating student Stephen Surjik, e film depicted the scary, tense and ch p world of a thief. The film included so e stunning sequences of the thief runnin through the streets of Montreal an haunting scenes of the woman who erted him.

Alright, Andr · , you've convinced us. Next year, TTP is .sure to be front row and centre at th~student film screenings.

Sister Reina Paquin 's paintings are surprisingly vivid, bursting with strong, bright colours.

Sister Reina Paquin, BF A: 75 and still p•ainting By Minko Sotiron

When Concordia's fine arts graduating class gathers next week for spring convocation, one of the BFA recipients to cross the small H-110 stage wi ll be Sister Reina Paquin, a 75-year-old nun and one of the first crop of senior scholarship winners.

A member of the Marie-Reparatrice Congregation in Ville St-Laurent, Sister Paquin was so productive during her studies in visual arts that she filled her bedroom and an adjoining . room with her paintings .

"I don't know where to put my newest .ones, " she confesses. One place certainly she might put them is in an exhibition. Already, CEGEP St-Laurent and the student gallery in the Visual Arts building

· have,expressed an interest' in showing her work.

quasi-folk to cubist. Although she speaks very little English­

a situation she plans to improve by taking an English-language course in the near future -her comprehension of it so improved during her three years at Concordia that by the end of her studies

. she had little trouble understanding her l!!ctures. Indeed, she and John Miller, one of her favourite professors, helped each other improve their Erench and English .

Already she has put her newly learnt painting skills to use helping handicapped and elderly patients at Hopital Bois-Menu . She finds painting is very therapeutic for her patients .

But she wants to perfect these skills, and that is why she hopes to take art therapy courses here in the fall.

When Eugene Amadi finished high school in 1965, Ii fe seemed pretty straightforward . Unlike the average Canadian high school graduate, though, Eugene's life since then has been anything but direct: it's been filled with more "excitement" than most North Americans would probably care to experience in a lifetime.

When the Nigerian student returns home this month , bearing a double-major bachelor of arts degree (political science and sociology), he will have wound up a 16-year segment of his life that has included a 'civil war, a marriage and three chi ldren, mobility and speech handicaps, and two years of the harsh Quebec climate.

Eugene's roundabout journey to Canada and Concordia began in 1965 . Two years of work experience were followed by three years of volunteer service in the Biafran army when the civil war broke out in 1967, two more years as a teacher of economics and history in Nigeria and seven years with a land acquisition company between 1972 and 1979.

All the credit for his eventual landing in Montreal in January 1979, goes' to his wife of seven years.

" My wife was the brain behind my studies, in that she was the one who impelled me to apply for university­anywhere," Eugene said in a recent interview in his Langley Hall residence .

Upon applying for admission to Nigerian universities, Eugene found that his .school certificates were "too old" ." After a few years they won't admit you if too much time has elapsed since your secondary education," he explained. Since there is no equivalent to our mature student program, Eugene next tried Concordia, and was accepted.

Missing his wife and children ,terribly, Eugene finished his 90-credit degree ,in two years, working year round to get thro,ugh .

_ Two visits back home helped allevi.i'te the loneliness of the long-distance student somewhat, as did the fact that his :English is faultless, English being the "lingua

franca", or common language, of Nigeria. His arrival during a Montreal winter was

a definite minus, though, as a dislocated hip that refuses to heal severely limits Eugene 's mobility. Visits to both Montreal and London hospitals have been of little use, and aside from the diffo::ulties of winter, Amadi's only complaint concerning Canada has been with its medical personnel. The doctors claim "there's nothing wrong", he says.

Amadi 's progress lias also been eased by both Canadian and international students at Concordia and by the faculty and staff.

"Each time they saw me in difficulty, they would always devote their time and energy to helping me out," he says . "I am very much indebted to _all Canadians for this."

Eugene also says that' he will keep in touch with the people he has met here , and hopes to return, possibly to do graduate work in political science, and to bring his family for a summer vacation. LR

Not too many students complete their BA in two years, but Eugene Amadi was determined to overcome both speech and mobility handicaps and -r.ejoin his wife and r:hildre_n in Nigeria.

Part of the reason she was so productive was because of what she described as the conductive atmosphere of the Visual Arts building. " It was a very calm and at the same time a stimulating environment. Perfect for a painter!" she said.

Texaco Oil beckoned, and Michael McAlister is Alberta bound.

Mi~hael McAlister, BEng: Go west, young Inan

Michael McAlister is already wearing his· iron ring, signifying that he is a full-nedged mechanical engineer. (Since 1922, graduating engineering students h9ve been given an iron ring by the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer.)

Recently, McAiister was presented with a choice that undoubtedly many other engineering students would have loved to face. •

His application for a Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC) grant had been accepted and he had .been awarded $9300 for his proposal for an' in situ coal gasification project. (to provide the diagnostics of converting coal to methane as a means of releasing it out of the ground) .

But the Texaco Oil Company also beckoned. It made him an offer to be a field officer for petroleum engineering in Alberta.

"It was a hard choice, but finally the chance of getting working experience won

out. So I'm off to Alberta," McAlister said, adding that he was not ruling out returning to school for graduate study some day.

An excellent student with a 4.0 grade point average, McAlister has won two other awards for excellence. Last year he took the $500 Lilley F. Barry Award as the top engineering student at Loyola, and last December he won the Quebec Iron and Titanium Award, worth $800.

Mechanical engineering professor Jaan Saber also thinks highly of McAlister , hiring him as his lab assistant for various research projects during the least two summers. Last year, McAlister helped him finalize a nammability-of-gases tester and this summer he is doing compute'r work for Saber.

"I found him to be highly intelligent and a hard worker," Saber noted, adding, "In fact, I can see him heading a major company as a chief executive officer or as a chief of engineering in about 20 years time." MS

years." Her practical side shows when she says

that her degree, while not a priceless acquisition, "at least makes me status quo with everyone else in the job market."

As a mature student at 21, Diane embarked upon a 120-degree program (no\V reduced to 108 for everyone). While commuting from her parents' home in LaSalle, she carried a full course load and worked four night a week at the Centre for Mature Students to pay for her education.

Once in, however, Diane found her conc~pts of university life and what she would do with her education changing rapidly .

"I 'discovered' marketing," she says. "I had thought I would do my major in accounting and ta_ke everyth ing else in Bio.Phys.Ed. and Recreation and Leisure Studies, which I was interested in, as I'd done a lot of work with children.

"But 1 found it a bad mix. Although there is an administrative component within that discipline , I found that everyone in that program follows a now, a certain outline of courses, and all the courses are designed to further that now.

"So, 1 ended up doing only nine credits in recreation and leisure and then I discovered marketing, and discovered that I like it. "

Why marketing? "To me, marketing is a way of being

more efficient at doing bus"iness. It's making the consumer aware of what's available. You could have lots of great products, but if nobody know.s about them, they just go under, even if they're the greatest miracles that ever happened.

"Take the Polaroid camera, for example. Nobody wanted to buy it, to pick up the invention off a freelancer."

Isn't marketing just high-pressure sales work?

"Marketing is so complex you can't define it," says Diane. "Two different people can set out to sell a product in two completely different ways, and both will end up with same the result. It's not just psychology. It's freedom and creativity.

"And there are quantitative aspects to it.

See "AT A GLANCE", page 7.

You have to know how to take those psychological facts and work with them."

Marketing appealed to Diane for its higher creative content and its less structured ways, unlike straight accounting, which was her initial choice of major.

"What I'd really enjoy doing is being an account executive for an advertising agency, which means that I would act as liaison between our client and our creative department. Unfortunately, advertising agencies just don't train people.

"However," she adds ruefully , "if you can type, you've got it m<!de!"

It's not likely that her typing skills (or lack of them, as she claims) will keep her down for long. " I'd have to say I'm competitive because I must keep setting up challenges for myself. I have to accomplish something for myself, not just to beat out the person next to me."

Having been out in the "real world" between high school and university-she never attended c;EGEP-has given Diane a different perspective on education and what to do with it.

" Returning to school first forced me to read much more and to develop my self­expressive skills- specifically my grammar and spelling," she explained.

"Secondly, I met a lot of people, most especially during my last year here. I think

"I'd have to say I'm competitive," says Diane McKinney, "because I keep setting up challenges for myself." most of my memories of school will be of this last year. Of the four, it has been the most rewarding. Being involved with the Commerce Students Society and working on the Commerce Fair gave me the opportu_nity to get to know a lot of new people."

Diane's future is up in the air at this time and in the meantime she is filling a temporary secretarial position at the School of Community and Public Affairs. Her range of possibilities for employment also includes media buying, product ma'nagement and marketing research, which, if nothing attractive comes up in Montreal, may take her to Edmonton, something she has seriously considered.

"It might do me good to live somewhere else for awhile," she thinks.

Whereyer it is, her capacity for hard work, her drive, her practical work experiences and her "status quo" commerce degree should serve her well.

Speaking of language

On July 6, 7 and 8, the university 's audio-visual department is hosting a colloquium on language laboratories, and. participants from all over the world are expected.

According to Roger Kenner, the language resources coordinator who is organizing the affair, the focus will be on teaching in the language laboratory and conference themes will include integrating the lab into the curriculum, inµovations in courseware, rethinking existing philosoJ?hies and practices, remodeling existing installations and such new technologies as computer­assisted instruction, modular instruction, and video-equipped labs. - rfid&ilffllft-to workshops and lectures,

the colloquium will feature a technological state-of-the-art exhibition. Eight of the field's top companies from Sony to J.L. Audinateur Ltee. will be showing their latest technological wares on the mezzanine of the Hall bldg. There will also be a publishers' display of textbooks in the audio-lingual field, screenings of some of the latest etlucational films and the computer science department 's talking computer will be on show. Tours of Concordia's audio-visual facilities will also be available. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 a .m. to 7 p.m. on July 6-7 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 8.

For more information on the colloquium, contact Roger Kenner at 879-5977.

Committee to look at status of women

A six-member committee has begun to study the situation of women at Concordia.

The advisory committee, which began meeting last month , has been asked to look at "ways and means of improving, where necessary, conditions for women (students, teaching and non-teaching personnel) · within the university".

According to committee member Nancy Bolton, some of the areas to be examined are admission/ hiring policies, the day-care situation, maternity leaves, working condi-tions and stereotyping. '

Other committee members are Ellen Jacobs , appointed by CUFA and the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, Janet Porter and Marymay Downing, named by the stu­dent associations, and Rosalyn Muer, ap­ponted by CUNASA. A second faculty member remains to be named to replace Dennis O'Connor , who resigned.

The committee is to report to the rector by December I .

low-key debate arose at the March 13 session when disagreement over Principle

Six, designed to encourage the students' freedom of choice, "even the freedom to choose wrongly", came under fire .

An impasse between professors who disagreed and the student representatives was reached when council voted to table the principle temporarily. At that point, the students protested by leaving en masse and were followed by a few sympathetic professors. This forced the task force to submit a rewritten version at the April 3 meeting, which was subsequently passed.

The new version was phrased more diplomatically, stating that "degree programmes should never be so structured as to preclude the student's free choice of programme and of options within their concentration or outside of it. To assist students in making reasoned choices, the university should provide an advising structure which must respect and accommodate decisions made by students about their programmes."

A third and not unpredictable point of dispute centred on Special Recommendation 5. I, which asked the Faculty Council "declare itself open to a proposal for a College of Arts & Science, to join the other units in Division IV." Such a college would not offer courses, seminars or degree programs, but would simply exist "to articulate a particular philosophy of education in accordance with the p~inciples of (the report on curriculum) document" and to "serve. · ... primarily as a centre for the academic counselling of students enrolled in it."

In what was possibly the quickest decision reached during the four-month debate, this proposal-was almost unanimously voted down, and the task force later substituted a clause which would create a committee of council "to investigate the possibility of introducing additional core curricula in the Faculty of Arts & Science" to report to council in the course of the next year.

Also emerging from the prolonged debate was an appendix to the report, defining what constitutes "major" and "minor" curriculum changes. Since the university's calendars are prepared 18 months in advance, and since council and Senate wheels often turn slowly in initiating curriculum changes, a natural tangential concern in accepti'ng the report's recommendations was the danger of incorporating changes which would later be difficult to remove, and which might cause problems for incoming students.

Hence, major changes have been defined as encompassing, among other things, • any change involving the establishment or deletion of a program (certificates included); • a reorganization of any existing program; • the addition of sets of courses to create a . new stream or sub-option within a program; · • extensive revisions of course descriptions; • modifications to admission requirements for programs or to any special academic standards.

Minor changes would include corrections

After 18 months of waiting for approval from the Dept. of Education and the Treasury Board, the Universite du Quebec a Rimouski has received the go-ahead for a $5 million expansion project.

Expected to be completed by summer 1983 are a new library and additional space for student services.

A final, completely rewritten version of -the report , incor.porating all major and minor amendments and deletions of the previous six sessions, was submitted to council on May 22. At this short and

· possibly historic meeting, council passed the document in toto, by a vote of eighteen to six, with one abstention.

New CUFA executive The Concordia University Faculty

Association has a new executive. An elec­tion held earlier this spring gave the presidency of the faculty union to chemistry professor Michael Hogben and the run-off elections that followed saw English professor Kathy Waters take the first vice-presidency, mathematics professor Hal Proppe take the second vice-presidency and economics professor Shafiq Alvi take the third. ·

History's Michael Mason becomes secretary and Hugh McQueen of mechanical engineering becomes treasurer of CUFA. The ex officio position of past president has gone to finance professor Calvin Potter, a former president of the SOW Association of University Teachers, instead of to immediate past president Arpi Hamalian, who will be on sabbatical in 1981-82.
