School Daze: Occasional, intelligence from our evening stud~nt correspondent. .. .

The History Department's wine & cheese at the Loyola Campus Centre became a little unbalanced early on. For one, they had a good deal more wine than cheese. ·

But for all that, it was a ·night to remember. with students and professors getting to know each other on an increasingly informal basis. · Talk touched on everything. There was

even some bone fide history discussed. A girl from England was enthusiastic

about Montreal after having spent only two months here.

"This city is fantastic," said the young Londoner. "Montreal is so alive and vital. I'm so glad I came."

"Wait till you see our winter," said one · of the several stalwarts making her welcome as warm as she would allow. "Then we'll hear how fantastic you think Montreal is."

Prof. Mary Vipond and divisional dean Bill Akin had students at their knees discussing the ins and outs of history.

Prof. Vipond explained various aspects of Canadian development while Dean Akin talked about the patterns of migration.

Another professor joined in: "American history is the history of regression."

I asked what he meant. "People," he said, "migrate to the

colonies because they wish to remain the same as they-did at home." .

"What?" "Yes," said the prof. "If people find the

conditions changing at home and their own position worsening because of t his, they move. They do not move because they want to change to the conditions of the new world, but because they wish to duplicate as best they can the conditions they had in the old world."

"Take names like New Hampshire and New York. People wished to establish a style of life which they had but could no longer hold on to at home. And within the new world it is the same. For example, the people in Portland Maine did not like the change of life style there, so they moved to establish the life they did like in Portland Oregon," he said. "It's the people who stay behind who accept change." ·

He went on to provide examples and built up an interesting case and I wondered about the girl and why she had come to Canada. He concluded and in time I excused myself to find the girl and ask her about the prof.'s idea.

Unfortunately, she had disappeared. Perhaps, I'll wait till winter. Like the young Stalwart said. She'd know her mind better then.

Honorary graduands sought I

The deadline is fast approaching for decisions on honorary degree recipients for 1978 Spring Convocations. Facul­ties, whose responsibility it is to furnish candidates, must make their decisions b·y the end of January in time for Senate approval in February. Suggestions are welcome from any member of the uni­versity community or from interested people out.side the university : they should direct their nominations to the Faculty that would most appropriately award the degree. ·

Traditional guidelines in choosing reci-· pients have been outstanding achieve­ment in the academic world, in govern­ment, in education; outstanding support to the university, or major contributions to the Montreal community, to Canl).da or to a particular field such as science or the arts. Distinguished graduates of the uni­versity would be appropriate candidates, as woulp epople who have made signifi­cant contributions but who might not be conventionally recognised.

Some recent recipients have included Agnes Higgins of the ·Montreal Diet Dis­pensary, Anthony Walsh, founder of the Benedict Labre House, Norman McLaren, Gerald LeDain, Irving Layton, and Robert Ayre.

Nominations can be held over until Fall Convocation, when honorary degrees are

Auditions open The great talent hunt is on! The

Division of Performing Arts and Loyola's Dean of Students Office are looking for seven actors and four actresses to fill the 11 roles in their upcoming co-production of Paul Foster's Elizabeth I.

Open auditions will be held on Sunday November 20 at 11 am .in Loyola's F.C. Smith Auditorium and the show will be presented in January. Actors and actress­es must bring an audition piece and will likely be require<} to participate in some workshop exercises. For additional infor­mation, contact the Dean of Students' Office, Loyola ext. 346.

Elizabeth I will be directed by well­known Montreal director Alexander Haus­vater. Hausvater, the major force behind Montreal Theatre Lab, is currently directing Jack W etherall in Kaspar for Toronto's Theatre Pass-Muraille. Born in Bucharest, Hausvater has directed and acted in Rumania, Israel, Ireland, Italy and in New York. Montreal theatre lovers will remember his productions of Concor­dia professor Henry Beissel's Goya, Medea, And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers and Seven Ways to Cross a River.

A play within a play, Elizabeth I tells the story of the famous queen's reign through a group of travelling players who tour Elizabethan England with their version of the highlights of Elizabeth's reign. - M.G.

The Shakers and today's world Discovering what makes a dying

religious sect tick is an odd way to learn about today's world.

But that's what English Prof. Leonard Mendelsohn is attempting in his study of the Shaker Faith, which at one time num­bered 6,000 in 18 colonies from Maine to Kentucky before the American Civil War.

The Shakers, who invented the rotary saw, tongue and groove boards, the flat broom and other devices we take for granted today, are now on the verge of extinction.

But to.Prof. Mendelsohn, the nine re­maining Shakers and their surviving documents hold many secrets revealing much about today's balkanizing world.

What concerns him is the motivating force in American society, which he des­cribes as a "sexless idealism which is so incorruptible that it borders on the, im­practical.

"But despite its impracticality," he said, "it so often works even in the face of their own extinetion. "

This quality, which he finds prominent in early American literature, was epi­tomized by the Shakers, who built furniture, buildings and tools which are intact and serviceable to this day.

They were celibate and gained new memb~rs to their communal lifestyle through conversions alone. Living in in­tellectual isolation from the outside world, they became the leaders in the field of agrarian and household technology.

"This was a utopian society," Prof. Mendelsohn said.

"Yet how different it was from another utopian society, Brook Farm in the 1840s, which fell apart," he said.

Brook Farm, in Pennsylvania, was a project of intellectuals who attempted to create a utopian society through human rationality. The communes of the late 1960s might be considered in this tra-

· dition. "The Shakers, with no intellectual pre­

tensions at all, managed to succeed where Brook Farm failed," Prof. Mendelsohn said.

The Shakers, more correctly known as the United Society of Believers in the Testimony of Jesus Christ as Revealed through Ann Lee, took the uncompromis­ing road of celibacy and incorruptibility.

This is a far cry from the rational approach of Brook Farm or the built-in obsolescence of today's disposable society.

And it is this gap between the incor­ruptible and the corruptible and its effect on society which interests Prof. Mendel­sohn.

The study is by no means complete. Prof. Mendelsohn recently raised $4000 to

Shaker printing office at Canterbury, N.H.

Sisters at Canterbury Trustees Office which also served as local post office

purchase for the Concordia Library the entire microfilm collection of Shaker literature, documents and manuscripts in the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio.

He said that his study leave next year will be devoted to an intensive examin­ation of the documents, letters, diaries, journals and even account books left behind by the Shakers themselves.

In this way, his study, together with interviews with the remaining Shakers, will be a look at the society from the inside rather than an objective account ot: their doings which characterizes much of the work on the Shakers to date.

The Shakers trace their origins to the Camissards of 17th Century France,

who later migrated to England in 1704 to avoid persecution.

In one sect a woman called Ann Lee (then Mrs. George Stanley) became the society's leader. But her attacks against the established Church of England had her in jail a good number of times.

During a period in solitary confinement, she said she saw a vision of Christ, who told her to "dissolve selfish family ties and that a relationship of brotherhood and sisterhood could be manifested in a life of celibacy." And in 1-774, Ann Lee and eight followers set sail for New York.

From that period they grew in number through conversions. Often foundlings were dropped at their door and others would join during the winter months and

Page 5: CONCORDIA umVERSITY • MONTREAL • VOLUME 1, NUMBER 10 ... · Education, invites everyone concerned with improvipg the quality of programs for ... es must bring an audition piece

often ended up staying on. There were many others who were attracted by what the Shakers had to offer.

Which was considerable. Everyone was equal, men, women, black or white. In fact, a man joined with his slaves at one time and suddenly found himself on the same footing with them. There was the sheer quality of life, in material terms. Sparse it may have been, but invariably whatever the Shakers made or invented was years ahead of what anyone else built.

Prof. Mendelsohn looks at this as an at­tempt by the Shakers to perfect every moment of their lives. He said this was a life of "generation," rather than a "life of regeneration that we live today.

"We live lives of regeneration in the

sense that we live for the benefit of our children," Prof. Mendelsohn said. "You have heard it many times: Tm doing it for the kids.' There's an element here that we don't coun~. And it follows then, that ~hen the kids grow up, they will be doing 1t all for their kids.

'.'In the case_ of the Shakers, they had no children. Their efforts were for their own generation, not for the one that followed " he said. '

There was no attempt to build things for a time with the expectation that they would be replaced. Everything was built

·to last. The most famous example of this is Shaker furniture, with a single dining room chair costing as much as $6,000-$8,000 today. The furniture, built more than 100 years ago, graces many a rich living room and will undoubtedly grace such rooms for more than a century to come.

The Shakers, also known as the Mil­lenial Church, stood out as a kind of religious Rand Corporation, a think tank where they solved mundane problems with startling ingenuity.

They ran into a problem with milk storage and invented a process, later re­fined by Gail Borden, for evaporating

. milk. The already mentioned rotary saw was invented by a woman watching men sawing wood, while she was working at her spinning wheel. The spin-off of that was the rotary oven. Some inventions, like the Washmill, a primitive washing machine, are obsolete today, but at the time it won the gold medal at the Philadel­phia Exposition in 1871.

But for all that, they were not a popular group. Their charity often began at hom-e and stayed there. They lent money with undated notes, which enabled them to seize farms used as collateral whenever they chose, by dating the notes to their convenience.

One disgruntled farmer, having his land evicted, poisoned all the wells on his land before being evicted, causing serious ill­ness in the colony.

But it was the American Civil War, in which they remained neutral, that caused their decline. Their colonies were burned on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line and they were greatly reduced.

Their policy of celibacy didn't .help their numbers nor did the implementation of child adoption Jaws, which cut off another source of converts.

Prof. Mendelsohn feels that there were other reasons besides these and the search for them is one of the many focal points in his study.

Concordia Chamber Ensemble members, l. to r.: Sherman Friedland, Donald Pis tolesi Lauret'ta Milkman and Thea Yetmikoff '

Concordia Ensemble debuts

When is a string quartet not just a string quartet? Why, when it's part of the Concordia Chamber Ensemble, of course. And . what is the Concordia Chamber Ensemble? It's a group of approximately ten professional musicians, most associat­ed with Concordia's music section, who have grouped together under the direc­tion of Sherman Friedland to form Concordia's contribution to Montreal's professional music scene.

If you're still wondering what all this has to do with a string quartet being not only a string quartet, the answer lies in what Friedland calls the "fluid" member­ship of the ensemble. By having musicians on · clarinet, piano, cello, violin, viola, saxophones, bass clarinet flute and french hor~ (not to mention a soprano), the ensemble can be a string quartet and a woodwind quintet in the same concert. And that capability increases the range of the ensemble to include, says Friedland, "literally thousands of works".

The problem of celibacy doesn't arise much today, as the remaining Shakers are all women (the last man died in 1961) who are mostly over 70 years old. There is a group at Sabbathday Lake, Maine and another at Canterbury, New Hampshire.

The idea for the ensemble came to Friedland last spring. "I thought that we (the music section) needed exposure," he explains. "There are, in Montreal, a number of fine musicians who do not have opportunities to perform and I know that

-Christy McCormick continued p. 6

Page 6: CONCORDIA umVERSITY • MONTREAL • VOLUME 1, NUMBER 10 ... · Education, invites everyone concerned with improvipg the quality of programs for ... es must bring an audition piece

from p. 5 there is a great body of repertoire of

. chamber music that is not performed." These resources, and the fact that

Concordia had no in-residence ensemble, prompted Friedland to approach fine arts dean · Alfred Pinsky with the idea. According to Friedland, "Pinsky thought it was an exciting idea so he approached the Rector for funding. I waited a couple of months and didn't think I would get the money. But for whatever reasons, I got all of it."

The ensemble, says Friedland, will not duplicate existing local chamber music groups. "It won't be like SMCQ (Societe · de musique contemporaine), which is mostly contemporary music, nor will it be like the Camerata (Musica Camerata), which is almost all nineteenth and eighteenth century music."

The aim, says Friedland, is to "focus on little heard masterworks, innovative compositions and some of the seldom played great masterpieces. You will be able to hear music you don't frequently hear.

"The programming, I think, will be a very attractive feature. It's a facet I think I have talent in. I think some of the concert series are disappointing in that they have music from only one era or one kind ,of music."

The program for the Concordia Cham­ber Ensemble's premiere concert on November 17 at 8:30 pm in the Loyola Chapel, reflects Friedland's desire for diversity; Mozart is eighteenth century, Webern is earlier twentieth century and Hindemith is later twentieth century;

Ensemble members Sherman Friedland on clarinet, Lauretta Milkman on piano, Donald Pistolesi on cello, Doug Walter on saxophone, Thea Y etnikoff and Caroline Jones on violin and Ann Thompson on viola will perform Mozart's' quintet for string quartet and clarinet, Hindemith's quartet for violin, clarinet, cello and piano and Webern's quartet for violin, clarinet, tenor saxophone and piano.

There will be a total of four concerts in this first season.

- Mark Gerson

Three members of the music section participated in a CBC radio taping last week. Sherman Friedland on clarinet and Lauretta Milkman on piano performed Brahms' sonata in E flat for piano and clarinet and the world premiere of a new composition by Alan Crossman, also of Concordia music. Desiderata for piano and clarinet was written by 'Crossman ex­pressly for _Friedland and Milkman.

The performance and an interview with Friedland and Crossman will be broadcast on CBC AM (940) on November 12 at 8:05 pm and again in stereo on CBC FM (93.5) on November 13 at 11:05 am.

Symposium speaker reveals organizational pitfalls

Men and women are not as different on , the job as certain myths would have us believe, claims sociologist and consultant Rosabeth Moss Kanter.

Speaking at Loyola as part of the Dean of Students Office's "How Do You Manage?" symposium, Kanter stressed that organization behaviour is determined

. more by "situation and location" than by any natural motivation. ·

As an example, Kanter cited the woman · boss stereotype: "women are supposed to be petty, mean and details-conscious and, as a result, few people want women as bosses." This preference, explains Kanter, is not for men but for a l:ioss with power; not power in the sense of domination and control ("which is more a function of powerlessness"), but power in the sense of effectiveness, ability to get things done. And men, says Kanter, are more likely to be in a position to have the "credibility" in the organization to have that power.

The "powerless" in an organization tend to be controlling, coercive, rules-minded and concerned with territoriality. This description may be part of the "bossy woman boss" stereotype, but it is not restricted to women.

When did you last run into what Kanter calls "the perfect bureaucrat"? The man or woman is usually arrogant, insistent on applying the rules exactly as written and is known to state, "that isn't my job, you'll have to see someone else." This worker is as likely to be as difficult with subordin­ates as with outsiders and, although fitting into the stereotype of a woman boss, is as likely to be a man as a woman.

A lot of what happens to women in large organizations comes out of the numbers game. It is said that women fear success. What they actually fear, says Kanter, is the visibility that success brings. Visibil­ity that says "you are different" not "you are outstanding". It is also said that women in the organization are their own worst enemies. Kanter explains that it is difficult to be generous to other women when there is only one slot for women at your level and you are fillini it.

Minorities or "tokens" face the same problems in the organization that women do. Kanter used the following diagram as an illustration:

XXxXxXOxxX "If one sees nine Xs and one 0, the O will stand out. The differences between the nine Xs will be overlooked because of their contrast with the 0. And because there are nine Xs which offer varying examples of what an X should be, and only

one 0, it is far easier to fit O into a . stereotype of what O should be."

Kanter describes two social types in the organization, "the moving and the stuck". The "moving" are people in jobs with lots of advancement potential. They tend to be management in high opportunity posi­tions. They are the "high fliers, fast truckers, comers, superstars, boy won­ders and water-walkers." The "stuck" are in the low opportunity positions, jobs that go nowhere. They are "the deadwood, over the hill, barely competent, non­achievers."

There are three ways to get "stuck", according to Kanter. The first is the "low-ceiling job", the dead end job that leads nowhere. Most women, because they fill · the majority of the clerical and secretarial functions, and many blue-collar men, fit into this category.

The second is the "pyramid squeeze". Explains Kanter: "As you move up the ladder, the chances of moving to the next level diminish because_ of the pyramid structure of the organization." This affects qiany men in middle management who are, says Kanter, "all stacked up in a holding pattern over the New York office, waiting to land."

The third way to get "stuck" results from having taken the wrong route to a high opportunity job. You have been shifted into a higher position, skipping many of the interim stages and you end up "stuck" because you have neither t)Je knowledge nor the experience which would have been gained from "working your way up."

Whereas the moving are doing all the right things to keep moving, the "stuck" come to accept their position and remain "stuck". It is the job, it is whether you are moving or stuck, maintains Kanter, that determines your motivation, not the reverse.

Kanter illustrates this with what she calls the "Gerald Ford syndrome". It was only when Ford moved into high motiva­tion positions (the vice-presidency and then the presidency) that he became motivated. When "stuck" in the House of Representatives, his ambition was limit­ed.

Kanter's aim, through her book Men and Women of the Corporation and through her lectures, is to "encourage more awareness into what organizations do to people. I want people to remember that organizations not only produce products, they produce people." '
