VOLUME 33, N° 3 LUNDI LE 4 OCTOBRE 19?3 Lorraine Hill STUDENTS GRANTED PARITY On October 1st, 1993 Glendon College's Faculty Council held it's first meeting ofthe 93-94 academic year, headed by Chair Professor Anthony Hopkins. The meeting began with the election of the vicechair, Xavier De Vanssay, who was the only nomination. This was followed by a few words regarding the search for a new Principal by York University President Susan Mann. She explained that the present Principal, Dr. Runte, would be resigning effective July 1st, 1994, but would be taking a six month Shortly after the President's speech, the issue regarding student representation on the Principal Search Committee was raised. After a meeting between the Policy and Planning Committee and the President a motion was put forward, part of which aimed to reduce student representation on the Search Committee from three students to one. This motion, as explained by one of the leave starting at the end of Professors on the Faculty Booember. ~';~~~.~n~,~year Cou.IJcil,,;wa_~,q.~e~li~th~ ~:~~~~~~:~~;~~:~~~ "~;::;;i;;o~;ea;~~i~;:;ea~~ as interim Principal, a position which could extend beyond July 1st if the new Principal has not been selected by then. President Mann told the members of the council that the search was already behind schedule, and for that reason they would be acting expeditiously. President Mann described the kind of Principal they were looking for; he or she should be a good academic adminis-trator, possessing both scholarly and administrative aptitudes; should possess universitywide experience and interests;' should be someone who could make Glendon's voice be heard; should have a strong public flair; and should be fluently bilingual. more efficiently. This caused a debate among members of the faculty. Former Dean of Students Yvette Schmidt explained that this step was neccessary because of the "emergency situation" that had arisen; she was rebuked by present Dean Jean-Claude Bouhenic, who "could not see the neccessity of penalizing students" because of the unfortunate circumstances. President Mann responded that the decision to reduce student representation was not her idea or choice. At this time an impassioned plea was made by G.C.S.U. President Andy Straisfeld on behalf of the students and alumni of Glendon. He explained that Continue on page: 3 • INSIUE I A LIRE Page 2 - Talking to the Prez Page 5 - ()n ,vonlen and AIDS Page 10 - Pro Tenl goes to the nlovies Page 11 - In to the Pit o' _, Faculty members and students listen attentively as Faculty Chair Anthony Hopkins (clockwise, fifth from bottom) makes~hlso~~ni~.gremar~: '" ,"'" ' ;, ,'(,'~, ,';".

After Straisfeld' s speech there was a noticeable change in the opinions of the faculty members, and several spoke up in defence. One professor stated that a reduction in student representation was a compromise to the council's principle of parity. Another backed this argument, and further stated that parity was most important at a time like this. to two student representatives and two faculty representatives. This, he stated, was true compromise, and would restore parity. Three votes were then taken. The first was for restoring the amendment and changing the numbers to two students and two faculty members; the motion was carried 19-10-7. The second was to accept the new amendment, and was also carried 16-8-7. The third vote was on the entire motion, including the amended clause; this vote was carried 23-2-4. It's nice to know that the Professors recognize the equality of students and the validity of our thoughts and views.

FACING THE MUSIC Andy McPhee First ofT , you should know that this article has less to do with life at Glendon than with life in the larger sense, viz. the society in which we live. The word "coward" is a gender inclusive term. Simply stated, a coward is a person who is prohibitively afraid to face up to that for which they are responsible. On the subject of morning.

I don't believe responsible for the death of in the least that it was sexual the animal from which the assault she was afraid of. She meat came, as demand for was hiding behind that, the meat caused the animal to refusing to listen when I told have been killed in the first her that she had cut me off. I believe she was afraid to place. What if one commits accept the responsibility of an act of violence against her action. This is but one small another human being? Here is where the most cowardice example of the type of evidences itselfin our society. cowardice which riddles our One good example is what society. It taught me a lesson. happened to me lastThursday That to some people, their A motion was then made by one ofthe professors to amend the motion, and to strike the section which saw to reduce student representation. Unfort~nately, there was no seconder. Professor Hopkins stated that he would let the amedment stand, since he viewed it as "a significant but allowable amendment." This ruling was challenged "in a friendly way" by Professor Ann MacKenzie; Hopkins, however, declined the challenge. A motion was then put forward by Professor Harris to amend the amendment of the motion, so that the committee would be reduced SAECULO Lorraine Hill As members ofthe Glendon and York communities peace of nlind, Le. avoidance e are priviledged enough to have two profound and of responsibility, is more nspiring mottos both written in the traditional language important than facing up to f academia, Latin. the thought that they might have done something wrong.

Straight looking and acting business suits bustle offto work. Then Michael wakes up. Paul soon follows, and they eat breakfast with their straight female roommate. In a fit of laughter, Michael endearingly calls her a fag hag. Hours seem to pass as Paul lectures about the sexist and misogynist nature of this term. Michael holds up his flag against censorship, so Paul decides it was postmodernism. They take separate showers. No! Not all gay men who live together~ shower together. They each grab a copy of Xtra!

Since the AIDS crisis began over a decade ago, however, the ~edia, and even education, action, and support groups for people living with AIDS have focused most of their attention on two communities: gay men and intravenous drug users. While it cannot be denied that these are groups upon whom the disease has had an enormous impact, focusing solely on them has meant that women living with AIDS, or living with trying to prevent transmission of it, have, until recently, had little in the way ofresources. Many of us remain uncertain about the role that aids and its prevention should play in our lives. According to Ms. Magazine, the World Health Organization estimated in 1992 that "by the year 2000, most of the newl.y infected (with AIDS or the virus that causes it HIV) will be women." This is frightening news and indicates that women, both lesbian and het- . erosexual, must begin to take a critical look at our sexual practices. A good first step is simply to read; at the moment, there are numerous debates in medical and activist communities about the nature and transmission of HIV/AIDS, and around the ethics ofprevention and treatment. We will do ourselves a favour by educating ourselves about these arguments, so'that we can evaluate them and the potential impact they have on our lives and sexual practices. An excellent place to find these resources is at the AIDS Committee of Toronto's huge Access Centre, which is located at 399 Church Street, and includes a lending library with both literature and audio-visual materials. ACT also sponsors numerous support groups and has its own information and support hotline, 390-8844. Also, through this week, watch for the Glendon Women's Centre, which will be setting up an information table with the help of the North York Department of Public Health. And all are invited to our Open House on Thursday, October7th at 7:00 pm. This will be a great opportunity to get acquainted with the Women's Centre if you haven't already, to eat sweet things, and to view a couple ofvideos dealing with issues around women and AIDS.

PROTEM 7 Monday October 4, 1993 "- NOW YOU SUCK! Jonah Bergbusch - GCSU I Love U, part 2Wednesday, October 6th at 7pm in room C202. That is the little anticipated date of the next GCSU meeting. Little anticipated due to the nature of the average Glendon student. You who read this article are so apathetic that to call you a slug would be to -do an injustice to the species "sluggis". You are as sheep in sheep's clothing, a prime prospect for CIA indoctrination, more anti-democratic than Benito Mussolini, in the treetops of the jungle you would be "King of the Sloths". Most of the meeting of September 29th dealt with you, you practically politically comatose moron. There are two departments without a director, Academic Affairs and External Affairs. Their directors were elected in last year's spring elections but they were misplaced, OK, lost along the way to this year's fall elections. The Chief Returning Officer (CRO) who is paid $100 and without whom there cannot be any fall elections resigned on Sep tember 29th, so that position is open as well. However, I forgotmyself. Youdon'tcare about money or power. If you did you would be interested in the influence and sizable budge~s available to the directors of departments. You like being manipulated and controlled, don't you? If you wanted to control the course of the events you'd run for Senator on the York University Senate, another position lost somewhere between spring and fall. The senate is arguably the most influential York institution open to Glendon students. "Influential? But gee, I want to be Social Convenor of my Residence House and have really great pizza parties! Hey, is influential spelt with a 'c'?" A fool by any other name would smell so apa thetically putrid. For a week the self-obsessed GCSU searched for someone, anyone, to join the Board ofReferendum Committees (B.O.R.C.) at York Main. Every referendum at every York college must be refused or accepted by BORC. It's, like,important. No-one came forward so GCSU councilor Cathryn Sawicki took it. Trying to forget how undermanned every GCSU committee is, the Council moved on to the issue of the incorporation of the GCSU. After a long discussion it was approved in principle with the aim of allowing a lawyer to prepare an explanatory file of pros and cons. The vote was 8 in favour, 2 against, 3 abstaining. Wouldn't you like to know how your representatives voted and what they said? If you showed up you might. Loser. Juste en passant, pourquoi dans un college constitue de 25 % de francophonesil n'y aqu'unconseiller francophone? Complot anglophone, ou est-ce que les francophone manquent tout simplement de couilles pour sieger au conseil? The GCSU is screwed up but it's screwed up due to you: YOU SUCK! C-Ya!

To park in these designated areas, you must be registered with the parking offic~ which will issue a special permit allowing you to park there. Residents and frequent visitors to the campus know that thereis a limited amount of parking available in front of both residences. You should also know that there is a fifteen minute time limit. These parking spaces were set up to accommodate short term parking I)eeds for you to unload packages, groceries or other heavy items. Because there is so little space to park there the university was forced to impose that 15 minute time limit. Respect that time limit; because if you don't you may get a ticket. Collect enough tickets and you will be towed to the pound.. That same rule applies to your guests visiting you in residence. Tell or show them where they may legally park so they will not be tagged. Save them from a nasty surprise. If you have to park in front of residence for longer than 15 minutes, contact either the parking or the security office and make special arrangements. If you have special parking needs, such as temporary medical incapacity, or if you have to park in an otherwise restricted area, please come to the parking office and arrangements can be made. The same applies if guests are visiting you on campus. Come to the office and make arrangements or tell your visitors to buy a daily ticket from the parking kiosk at either the upper or lower lots when they enter. If you have any questions about parking, please do not hesitate to contact the parking office at 487-6788. We are located in the Greenhouse and business hours are as follows; 9am until 12noon, 1pm until 4pm every Monday through Friday. Outside those hours contact the secu rity office at 487-6808. QUEER PRIDE AT GLENDON HAVING PROBLEMS? AnaM. Marika Kameny Another school year has started , along with new courses, new teachers, new majors, a new Prime Minister, new budget cuts...Well, almost everything is new, but not quite. Some things stay the same : the deficit, the taxes, Bob Rae, and the ever-growing prejudice. We start another school year, and in the first week of classes we walk, like hundredsofotherstudents,down the halls, to the caf, from the Pub, always asking ourselves the same eternal question: "I wonder who else is gay?". As usual, there is no answer, so back we go to our bittersweet memories of the last Gay Pride Day or the wild days of the past summer. Some of us went to Washington and screamed to high heavens : "I want equality!" We got none of that, of course. Others went to Montreal, got to know their Gay Village and danced in the streets with the thousands of people in their Gay Parade. And others stayed here, going to Woody's Deco's or maybe just hanging around the 519. Many good things happened in the summer and for that we are grateful. But some of us did not have such a great summer. There was no parade because we couldn't come up with a decent excuse to give our mothers for going out on a Sunday afternoon. There was no lover to share our dreams with because we were afraid-of being seen by Aunt Sukie, the born-again Christian. Some of us decided to "come-out" to our families in the summer, an it was a bad, bad decision. So, we came to Glendon, both Lesbians and Gay men, looking for others to relate to, to no avail. .. so we thought. Well, there's good news! The Gay, Les- bian and Bisexual Alliance is forming again and it is inviting you ( provided you qualify) to take part in this year round celebration of Pride. So, if you are "queer" or you think you might be, don'tbeshy. Comeoutwherever you are. The first meeting will be held on October 5th, at 5:00pm at the Glendon's Women's Centre ( the white house, 50 metres from the Greenhouse known as the Old Gatehouse). There is so much homophobia out there (I don't have to tell you that); make that another reason why you should join the Alliance. Besides, we can have a great time getting· to know other brothers and sisters (excuse my mushiness!). Come help us establish our own community at Glendon and what the heck! to subsequently be able to declare : Weare here, We are queer...( and you know the rest I hope). Come September, everything happens all at once. New courses, leaving home once more, saying goodbye to old friends, starting new relationships, planning for a career, finding a part timejob, the list is endless. At times it seems like it is all too much to cope with and all you want to do is scream for help. Well, help is available and it is remarkably easy to find in one comprehensive service at the Glendon Counselling and Career Centre (Glendon Hall, 487-6709). Nous sommes prets a vous aider si vous eprouvez des problemes personnels ou sociaux, si vous voulez discuter des vos projets professionnels ou scolaires, ou si vous voulez ameliorer vos methodes de travail. Nos conseillers experimentes sont prets a vous rencontrer. We offer workshops on study skills and time management, overcoming procrastination, abusive relationships, choosing a major, and many other topics. We have highly quali- fied counsellors who work on an appointment basis for personal and career counselling. O':!r resource centre is packed with information on career planning, choosing a major, resume writing, preparing for an interview, work anq study overseas, what to dowithamajorin...,etc. And, needless to say, anything you discuss at the Centre remains strictly confidential. So, don't let the return to classes overwhelm you. If you have any problems or concerns, come and talk to us. We are friendly and we're here to help you.

Everyone went bowling when they were young, and anyone who didn't is almost guaranteed to be socially maladjusted.'

So I was taken aback when, after suggesting an evening of bowling to a couple of friends, almost everyone'I knew wanted to join in. I had people I didn't even know . coming up to me and asking when we were going and where the alleys were, and was it ten pin or five pin, and all sorts of crazed bowling questions.

Anacrusis, who have departed from their former speed-metal tendencies, show an incredible fusion ofintelligence, complex- 15. 14. 13. 12. 11. 10.

'Screams and Whispers' is, in my opinion, the best offering the metal world has heard in quite some time. Ana~rusishowever, had some trouble stimulating the crowd; either this was because they only had a five song set, or because the crowd was perhaps unfamiliar with the band or material (being largely old-school M.F. fans). Or perhaps Meat Magazine's Metal Tim Henderson was right when he suggested the 'Screams and Whispers' would go right over the heads of the metal masses. I had taken offense to this statement but now I wonder if it might be true. One member of the crowd said there were too many time changes; that it was "too hard to headbang to." Apparently Anacrusis are appealing to an elite audi ence only...something like Guinness or Scotch. - Butterfly - I Am The Cancer - The River - Saturday Night - Punishment Park - Rain Will Fall - La Berceuse du Petit Diable While managing to maintain a uniqueness all their own, one cannot ignore that distinct sound we have all come to love; Cathedral drips with Black Sabbath. Frontman Lee Dorrian even treated us to a few "Volume 4" poses. Don't misinterpret me, I can think of no better band to fashion one's self after. (Cathedral have even recorded two songs on the Sabbathtribute compilation 'Masters of Misery'.) Although they too were confined to a five song set, Cathedral managed to get the pit moshing with their slow, heavy pounding rhythms and colourful, mythical lyrics. Cathedral, who are promoting 'The Ethereal Mirror' , their latest release on Earach Records, will return again in November. By this tim.e, the sound checks were proving, to everyone's frustration, to be 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. ticipating what was to come next: Flotsam and Jetsam. These gentlemen have always seemed to be a little "out of favour" with Canadian Customs and as a result have not been able to cross the border into our fine country. To my dismay, Flotsam and Jetsam· were also restricted to a five song set. However, Flotsam delivered the goods, running through such songs as "Never to Reveal" and "Swatting at Flies" from their latest release entitled 'Cuatro' ,aswell as two from 'No Place for Disgrace'. Flotsam and Jetsam, who flawlessly executed a delicate balance of beautiful, golden hannonies and searing, flesh-peeling intensity, finished their set with a song, "for those of you who don't like Flotsam and Jetsam."

This eighty-ish sounding band made their entrance with the traditional bells, rain and chants. King Diamond, much to the crowd's pleasure, whined and screamed his way through songs including ''The Bell Witch", "Egypt", and "Gypsy", among others, in support of Mercyful Fate's latest album 'Into the Shadows'.
