Seagram donates $1 million to Concordia Endowment for projects with national and/or international impact

by Ken Whittingham

The Seagram Company Ltd. has doriated $1 million to Concordia to establish an endowment to fund in­

novative projects and programs of national and international significance.

The Seagram Fund for Academic In­novation will provide money to support programs that reflect Concordia's special strengths so that additi~nal programs of ex­cellence can be created. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary projects.

Charles R. Bronfman, Co-chairman of The Seagram Company Ltd., announced the $1 million endowment at a reception in early May, attended by members of the Rector's Circle (a designation of honour given to Concordia's most generous personal donors), the Board of Governors, faculty and Seagram.

Siobhan Harty, Concordia 1989 Rhodes Scholarship winner, was also in at­tendance.

"Concordia is noted for its flexibility, its willingness to innovate and its ability to develop very distinct programs and projects," Mr. Bronfman said . "The Seagram Fund will help the University to

Celebrated poet presents first Irving Layton Creative Writing Award "When I am asked how I recognize a poet, I say I look into his eyes. Of a poet's eyes, one is life and one is death." Irving Layton

One of Canada's most celebrated writers and poets, Irving Layton, was at Concordia last month to

present the first ever Irving Layton Creative Writing Award. This year's prize of$1,000 was shared by Peter Horsman and Ila Gray land.

The English Department's Creative Writing Program established the award to encourage and reward excellence among its writing students. At the hour-long presenta­tion, Layton said the award sends a signal that the contribution of poets and writers to society and the community is being recog­nized.

Layton recalled the heroic days when he and other Canadian poets of·his time such as Louis Dudek, F.R. Scott, and A.M. Klein first had their works published. He says that there were no prizes to lift poets out of anonymity then.

and the heart, this award serves to reduce the burden of aloneness a poet feels."

The award's winning submissions, Horsman's collection of poetry and prose and Grayland's poems of her childhood in Australia, were called "a happy omen for this prize" by Layton as they focus on some of his own favourite topics: graveyards and sexuality.

In addition to the winners, two honourable mentions were cited: Jennifer Boire for an untitled collection of poems, and Susan Drodge for a prose work entitled The Teapot Meditations.

Layton's parting words of advice to the writers assembled: "Don' t listen to critics. Keep reading and writing and making your path to immortality."

Where charging means helping

Concordia has joined the growing list of Canadian universitie; using financial institution "affinity cards" to assist in their fundraising efforts. A percentage of every purchase made with the credit card is returned to Concordia to help pay the cost of special projects not covered by government grants. Although developed for Concordia alumni, the card is now available to faculty members, staff and graduat­ing students. Seen above presenting a maquette of the card to Concordia officials are Frant;ois Beaudoin, Bank of Montreal Vice-President of Per­sonal Banking (Western Region); Jim Dethy, Bank of Montreal Senior Manager of Affinity and Affiliate Programs; Me Berengere Gaudet, Concordia's Secretary-General; Maurice Cohen , Vice-Rector, Institutional Relations and Finance; and Ron Laughlin, President of the Concordia University Alumni Association.

SHEININ from page 1 . In making the announcement at last

week's regular monthly meeting of the Board of Governors, Rector Patrick Kenniff said that Sheinin will provide the University with the creative academic leadership that will allow it to take full advantage of its im­proved and expanded physical facilities.

A member of the Advisory Committee of Science for Peace, Sheinin has served on the editorial boards of numerous publica­tions, including the National Advisory Board of the New Canadian Encyclopedia, . serves as a scientific consultant to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and has participated in the work of numerous na­tional and international bodies, including the National Research Council Advisory Committee on Biotechnology.

Lost jazz classic .brought back to life by Concordia's Aiidre-w HoIDzy Find constitutes major musical legacy of Charles Mingus

· by John Sobol

0 n Saturday, June 3, at Lincoln Center in New York, 33 promi­nent jazz musicians will present

the world premiere of a long-forgotten composition by the late Charles Mingus, recently rediscovered by Concordia's Andrew Homzy.

The two-hour-long, 18-part suite entitled Epitaph was only known through fragmented performances and recording prior to its rediscovery. The concert will mark the only time the original orches­tration has ever been played in its entirety.

To mark the occasion, the concert will be broadcast live on Britain's Chan­nel 4, and the music will be recorded for subsequent commercial release. A few of the famous musicians taking part in the event include trumpeters Wynton Marsa­lis and Snooky Young, saxophonists John Handy and George Adams, and trombonist Jimmy Knepper.

The concert will be directed by renowned composer and jazz historian Gunther Schuller, with whom Homzy has worked closely in the re-editing ofhis work~ 1

Tattered manuscripts Concordia Music Professor Homzy

made the discovery while cataloguing the mounds of tattered manuscripts which are the compositional legacy of Charles Mingus.

"I came across all these great big manuscript pages, scored for a huge ensemble, and couldn't figure out where they were from . But they had consecutive measure numbers so that seemed to indicate that they were a part of a whole."

Andrew Homzy

Homzy examined all the literature available and finally, with the aid of Schuller, came to the conclusion that the pages in question ·must be the vaguely remembered suite called Epitaph . He and Schuller then had to define exactly what was part of the score and what wasn't, which was difficult because there were several missing pages and many of the indications were unclear and even con­tradictory.

The results, however, can be seen in the enormous interest the piece has stirred up. Schuller said recently that "this will be among the most important premieres in the annals of American music." .

DisappointIDent .over budget announceIDent Only $26 million of $60 million announced is new money

by Bronwyn Chester

T he recent provincial budget announcement of an additional $60 million for Quebec universi­

ties has been met with disappointment by Concordia and many other universities in the province.

"This is not what we had expected or what we had hoped for," said Maurice Cohen, Vice-Rector, Institutional Rela­tions and Finance.

Last fall Premier Robert Bourassa said the case the universities had made for additional funding of $150 million over two years was good.

"My understanding was that we could get a commitment for increased funds, albeit over two or three years," said Cohen.

Of the $60 million announced, $5 million is for equipment and $29 million replaces funds already available this year, said Cohen.

"What the government is doing is removing $29 million and adding $55 million, for a net increase of $26 million in operating funds. In terms of capital funds, it's $5 million less than last year."

Cohen doesn't know yet how much of the new money will be given to Con­cordia. In the current year's (1988-89, ending June 1) $145 million budget, $113 million comes from the province.

"We're starting on efforts to get our share of the additional money," conclud­ed Cohen. • For the Rector's comments on the federal budget, see page 5.

Concordia coIDes of age internationally CIDA provides funds for Concordia international projects

by Bronwyn Chester

Concordia University expects to receive almost $2 million from the Canadian International Develop­

ment Agency (CIDA) to fund two key inter­national projects. This is a development that marks Concordia's coming of age on the in­ternational' scene, says Martin Singer, Director of Concordia's Council for Inter­national Co-operation.

tion that the University · now has a significant

In April, CIDA announced that it would give $500,000 to fund the Joint-Doctoral program in Engineering and Computer Science established in 1987 with Southeast University in the People's Republic of China. It was the first time the University received a direct grant from the federal agency. (Last fall, CIDA awarded $2.75 over five years to a joint project in Manage­ment Education involving China's Tianjin

ministration, and the Ecole des hautes etudes commer­ciales (of the Universite de Montreal).

CIDA is also expected to fund a $1.3 million Concordia proposal for a newly es­tablished Scholarship Program in Com­munications. The program will provide funding for graduate students from China, India and Brazil to study Communications. It involves the faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and the Departments of Educational Technology and Communica­tion Studies.

"We're still newcomers to the field of funded international work," says Singer, "so we regard these CIDA decisions as recogni-

How Swede it is More than JOO Swedish students on campus

by Bronwyn Chester

The blue and yellow flag of Sweden was flying high over the downtown cam­

pus yesterday as more than 100 Swedish students, a representative from the Swedish embassy and curious Montrealers attended Concordia's second annual "Sweden is it" day. About50 inter­national business students from Gothenberg University are on cam­pus taking Marketing professor Michel Bergier's six-week intro­ductory course, Marketing 213; others are taking advanced courses in marketing, management and French.

The students have taken over a good part of .Langley Hall for their stay. Coincidentally, another 50 Swedish students from the Lund Institute arrived yesterday. They are on a 10-day tour of Canadian laboratories and are at Concordia to visit the Chemistry, Biochemistry and Biology labs.

presence among

Canadian universities in international ex­changes."

The University is of course not new to international work; in the past five years professors from Concordia have travelled to more than 100 countries. But until the crea­tion of the council two years ago, initiatives abroad were mainly undertaken by in­dividual professors.

"We were involved in lots of interna­tional activity but no one knew about it, so there was no government recognition or funding," says Singer.

The council was established to formal­ize what previously existed and to develop

new linkages. A linkage means a formal agreement with a university or research in­stitution. Concordia now has 40 linkages with institutions in nine countries: Brazil ( 1 ); China (8); France (3); the Federal Republic of Germany (l); Hong Kong (l); India (3); JaP.an (I); Poland (22); and the U.S. (1).

Singer believes that Concordia ' s pioneering efforts at Southeast University were responsible for obtaining CIDA's recognition. The agreement was the first joint doctoral program ever between China and a Western nation.

"Concordia used its own resources as seed money with the idea that we wouldn't embark on a second stage without outside funding. I think our funding proposal to CIDA had credibility because the program was already in place and running."

Bergier enjoys teaching the Swedes. "They bring a lot of interna­tional experience to the course," he says.

The Faculty of Commerce and Administration's exchange with Gothenberg University began last year after Gothenberg Economics professor Henrik Leutzen ap­proached his friend, Concordia As­sociate Professor of Marketing Ulrik de Bretani. The university's interna­tional business students already took courses in England, France, Germany and Spain, but Leutzen was interested in students having the option of at­tending a North American university for the English-language component of the course.

So far the exchange is informal - no Concordia staff or students have been to Gothenberg-but Con­cordia is working to make it more for­mal.

These professors get an 'A' in teaching CUSA gives Awards for Teaching Excellence

S tudents are, in a sense, consumers of education, and as such they should have a say about the quality of the

product they consume - teaching. The Concordia University Students As­

sc~ciation (CUSA) is recognizing this in a new way. CUSA is for the first time giving out A wards for Teaching Excellence, which will show students' appreciation of teachers' human traits and skills as educators as well as researchers.

Students themselves have established the criteria for the awards. Letters of recom­mendation were written by students and submitted to CUSA, which removed all references to teachers' names, sex, etc. for the evaluation process. Submissions were then assessed according to criteria which in­cluded innovative teaching techniques, ac­cessibility. and approachability, concern for students, enthusiasm and knowledge.

One winner and two runners-up were chosen from each of the Arts & Science and Fine Arts faculties.

Winners The Arts & Science winner is Veronica

Hollinger, a part-time professor in the Department of English. Students in her "Im­ages of Women in Literature" course praised her for her infectious enthusiasm and willingness to break down barriers be­tween student and professor. Her dedication

to the use of non-sexist language and "a long-overdue perspective of gender, race and class in the English curriculum" are noteworthy. She has also demonstrated a diversity of knowledge ranging from the Victorian novel to science fiction and en­couraged research outside the established academic canon.

. Chengiah Ragaven of the Department of Sociology was a runner-up. Recommen­dation letters cited his enormous knowledge and inspirational effect on students, as well as innovative teaching.

The other Arts & Science runner-up, Virginia Nixon of the Liberal Arts College, was lauded for treating students as friends and equals. She was also cited for her "com- . munic~tion skills, incredible store of knowledge and exemplary organizational skills."

Corrine Corry, a Professor ·of Art Education, was the winner in the Fine Arts category. "Her teaching method is well­structured, open-minded and challeng­ing," says CUSA. Students who took her "Multi-Media" course feel that she promotes individual thinking and student­direct~ learning and .. . "an actively in­volved class where we find the answers, the meaning and the purpose of our work."

The runner-up is Elizabeth Langley, the creator and head of the Dance department.

Barbieri wins teaching award

B ryan Barbieri has won the Faculty of Commerce and Administration's second annual Distinguished

Teaching Award. The Assistant Professor of Marketing is "very proud to receive such recognition."

"Teaching has · been important to me and it's satisfying to get this recognition," says Barbieri, adding that he doesn't think universities in general give enough em­phasis to teaching.

Barbieri, who has taught full-time at Concordia for 16 years, considers himself to be a tough but giving professor.

"I'm a very demanding professor be­cause I believe that education means find­ing out about yourself. I demand a lot and I give a lot."

Associate Professor of Marketing Michel Bergier, last year's award-winner and the Chair of this year's selection com­mittee, says that no one is more accessible to Commerce and Administration students than Barbieri.

"Bryan does well in the classroom but it's what he does outside that won him the award."

The seven-member selection commit­tee consists of three faculty members, three

students (two undergraduate, one graduate) and Ron Smith, Director of the Learning Development Office.

Part of the selection process for the award is the accumulation of testimony from current and former students.

Barbieri was particularly pleased by letters sent from students who have graduated.

Federal budget cost Concordia $1.3 million: Kenniff While significant, effect not disastrous, Rector tells Senate

Rector and Senate Chair Patrick Ken­n~ told the May 5th meeting that, while the April 27 federal budget

was not terribly harsh in respect to provin­cial transfer payments, its effect on Concordia's 1990-91 budget would be a $1.3 million cut. Although the effect is sig­nificant, he reported, it is not disastrous.

At the sam.e meeting the Senate Com­mittee on Academic Planning and Priorities endorsed the 1989-90 provisional operating budget. The committee stated that the objec­tives of the budget are valid and that the re­quired emphasis has been placed on academic priorities.

The committee discussed in detail the budget's implications for Concordia's academic functioning and development.

In preparing the report, the committee received comments from other Senate com­mittees and from Faculty Councils. A com­mon concern expressed was the funding of library acquisitions .. the need to augment the acquisitions budget was stressed be­cause of the decline in buying power due to inflation and also because of the need to maintain the quality of resources, both in support of existing programs and the addi­tion of new programs.

Other points called for the considera­tion of distance education as an academic priority as well as the development of an Undergraduate Entrance Scholarships program.

In giving its support to the budget, the .committee identified five preliminary priorities which it used to analyze the budget. The committee found considerable support within the budget for each of these priorities.

They are:

• Increasing the number of full-time faculty (and thus the ratio of undergraduate courses taught by full-time faculty), which in turn contributes to promoting the development of graduate studies and re­search;

• Ensuring a high quality of teaching, particularly at the undergraduate level;

• Developing graduate studies in order to compete with other universities in scholarships, fellowships and assistantship aid; ,

• Strengthening research by improving the availability of seed money for new ven­tures; and

• Developing additional sources of funding for acquisitions and the overall ac­quisitions budget of the libraries.

In response to a question, Rector Ken­niff said that Vanier Library renovations and construction of the concert hall at the west-end campus will be complete when students return for the fall session.

In other Senate news, the second annual report from the Senate Committee on Academic Planning and Priorities was tabled.

Several items of business were ap­proved: revisions to the composition of the Fine Arts Faculty Council; nomination and election procedures for the Steering Com­mittee; implementation procedures for revisions to the composition of the Board of Graduate Studies; and a Faculty of Com­merce and Administration MBA Medal for the highest ranking student graduating with an MBA.

Christopher Jackson faces the music Music professor also directs baroque music orchestra and chqir

by Heather Solomon

You· can hear Christopher Jackson's footsteps hammering up the stairs to his third floor office in the west­

end campus refectory. He has just dropped off his sons Simon, 3 1/2 and Matthew, 1 1/2 at pre-school and is about to begin a class in choir conducting. The Professor of Music and the University's Choir Master since 1977 last year exchanged one set of ex­tended responsibilities for another.

He gave up the Chair in the Music Department to take on the challenge of being sole artistic director of Le Studio de musique ancienne after his co-director and co-founder Rejean Poirier resigned.

"We started the studio together in 1973 and it's been a going concern ever since," says Jackson. Its 18-member professional choir and 22-strong orchestra specialize in music composed before 1750, which is Jackson's passion.

Antique and reproduction instruments such as the lute, sackbut (the trombone's predecessor, played by his musician-wife, . Dominique Lortie) and harpsichord recreate the sounds of two- to four centuries ago. Jackson directs both bodies in the Eglise Notre-Dame du Tres Saint-Sacrement on Mont-Royal Avenue. He stands before the choir or sits at his harpsichord and, with first violinist Chantal Remillard, leads the or­chestra through interpretation, phrasing and articulation of baroque chamber music . .

Making beautiful music is also . his responsibility as Director of the University's two choirs. Every music stu­dent is committed to a year of choir. The choir is also open to students and faculty from any other area in the University com­munity, "if they have a little reading ability," warns Jackson.

He is expecting a major turnout at first­round auditions on April 18th (call him at 848-4713 or the Music office at 848-4705 for times).

'Teach. them to sing' Jackson's role in the choir is to "teach

them how to sing. It's extremely difficult in our passive society where the majority of people vegetate in front of TVs, pinball machines and computer games." About 20 students make the grade into a second, smaller choir which Jackson also directs.

One would think that all that was enough to fill up Jackson's days, but, no, none of these activities have crowded out his love for his principal instrument, the organ.

The University's practice organ feels Jackson 's fingers regularly over the four days per week that he is on campus conduct­ing, teaching, advising students and work­ing on committees. "I still give concerts of 'mainstream' organ repertoire, mostly Bach. In 1980, I made a record of organ music from the 19th century and Le Studio de musique ancienne is recording a second compact disc."

Jackson has embarked on a five-year

Goldfarb also plans to indulge in her favourite pastime, creative writing. Inspired by the late Margaret Laurence, she looks at it as a challenge.

Concordia will always be a wonder­ful part of her life. After mingling with students of all ages and from diverse backgrounds, she feels more fulfilled.

"I miss it already,'' Goldfarb said, "but even so I feel that I've accomplished my dream." .

"I was always keen on becoming a teacher," Goldfarb told ITR . "But since I felt it wasn't very remunerative, I went back to office work."

Still, she continued to study at night while working 5½ days a week in addition to running the family house­hold. Yet her ambitious activities were taking their toll.

"The support I received at home was overwhelming," Goldfarb said. "Some­times my children and I lent each other school books . We helped each other a . lot."

During all this time, Goldfarb work­ed as a medical secretary, and although she also faced many family crises she continued to press on with her st1,1dies.

"We helped tide them over until they received their cheques,'' Weekes said. "Through our food drives, we received a lot of donated canned goods which really helped us out."

Three years ago, Weekes set up a program with the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal and the University's Recreation and Leisure Department. He wanted to get the University's students to go into the high schools to act as teaching assistants and guidance counsellors. . . to be positive role models for teenage students.

"I heard there were a lot of programs out there for kids,'' said Weekes. "But when I looked around, there was noth­ing. So I decided to set something up myself."

The pilot project began at Westhill High School,, and Weekes hopes it will be expanded to include other city schools. Although he encountered a lot of bureaucratic red tape, he feels _he has accomplished something important.

"There were times when I wanted to give up," Weekes said. "But I knew that many people, especially kids, were depending on me."

Weekes_ hopes to enter law school in the fall.

Graduate Tina Mintz. has been accompanied through her years at Concordia by her devoted seeing eye dog, Sheena. It is only fitting that having worked so hard together to earn Tina's BA; the two will attend the Convocation ceremonies together on June 9th.

They're back with $4,500 U.S., a trophy and ·a car Methanol Marathon: We almost won!

by Bronwyn Chester

A team of 10 Concordia mechanical engineering and computer science students took second place in a

North America-wide "Methanol Marathon" and helped develop a device which may make methanol a more viable car fuel.

The event really began last last Novem­ber when members of the Concordia branch of the Society of Automotive Engineers won a $23,000 (U.S.) GM-donated car to convert to methanol fuel. Of the 31 North American universites applying to compete, Concordia was the only Canadian university among the 15 selected.

The 1,100-mile, Detroit-Toronto­Washington, five-day rally was for maxi­mum mileage, not speed. Leaving Detroit on April 28, the Concordia Chevrolet Cor­sica ran at 36 miles/gallon of the 85%

· methanol - 15% gasoline fuel.

Through rain and mountains The cars had to run at the exact speed

ordered by the race sponsors. There were penalties for late arrival at the numerous checkpoints along the route.

"It was the navigators who were the im­portant ones in the car," said team-captain Martin Smith. "Those 1, l 00 miles were not as the crow flies. The rally led you everywhere.

"Most legs were on country roads so you couldn't maintain a constant speed," he said, adding that the route included the Adirondack mountains and a lot of rain.

Four of the team members took turns driving and navigating, two at a time. Mike Shenky, Migel Dudley, Peter Lang and Smith drove and Shenky and Dudley · navigated when they weren't driving.

While the main criterion for judging was mileage, where Concordia placed second, the University did even better in the acceleration and "cold-start" categories, with a first in each.

Turbo-charged Smith attributes the team's success in

part to the turbo-charger he 'and first-year student Pierre Parkinson developed during last spring break at Miller Works Inc. in Ok­lahoma City. The device increases the pres­sure of the air entering the combustion chamber, which increases the engine's ef­ficiency.

"The three cars in the race that were turbo-charged placed first, second and fourth," Smith said.

When the race was over on May 3, the · University of Tennessee had won with 764 points, Concordia was second with 653 and third place went to the Rochester Institute of Technology, with 643 points.

Not only did the Concordia team con­vert the car, they also converted a 1975 GM school bus into a mobile automotive shop and hotel. As it turned out, the car needed no mechanical work. But the bus lost its ex­haust pipe. Project adviser, Gregor Roh­rauer, found a fallen ''.no-parking" sign, cut and shaped it into an·exhaust pipe and and

SENATE continued from page 5

At the final Senate meeting of the 1988-_ 1989 academic year on May 26, Rector and Senate Chair Patrick Kenniff gave mem_bers a more detailed breakdown of the provincial budget's actual numbers, pointing out that only $21 million of the $66 million an­nounced for 1989-1990 is new money. He said this was cause for two grave reserva­tions: $66 million falls far short of the $75 million minimum universities consider the minimum needed to set things right; and, the government has given no_ firm commitment for 1990-1991 -or subsequent years.

In other discussion, the University will participate in an ad hoc task force to protect Concordia's interests in view of new copyright legislation. The Code of Conduct (Academic) covering cheating and plagiarism infractions met with vociferous opposition from the Ornbuds Office whose representative was awarded speaking privi1eges for .the meeting. The language of the document was called "wordy, redundant and irksome." Taking this into considera­tion, the Senate voted to table the motion until September.

Another motion, to establish a mini-. mum C-grade for pre-requisite courses, was

also tab.led until the next session. The Jour­nalism Program was granted departmental status. - BV & DV

luting. However, there are problems with its · cold-start driveability, corrosion, driving range and fuel !lvailability.

"Most likely, some of these problems can be solved with good engineering," said

GM president Robert Stempel in his wel­come speech last April 28 to the marathon competitors. "In fact the young people par­ticipating in the Methanol Marathon may ul­timately be the ones to solve them."

Promotions Syed Ahsan (PhD - McMaster

University) has been promoted to the rank of full Professor in the Department of Economics. He joined the Department as an Associate Professor in 1977. Prior to com­ing to Concordia, Dr. Ahsan taught at the University of Western Ontario.

Currently, he is engaged in a multi-year federally-funded Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) project on the theoretical issues related to tax reform, particularly on the choice of in­come-versus-consumption as the tax base and on the alternative methods of capital in­come taxation.

Dr. Ahsan's publications include a book, Agricultural Insurance (Gower, 1985) and scientific papers in some of the leading Economics journals, including the American Journal of Agricultulal Economics , Econometrica, European Economic Review, Journal of Finance, Journal of Public Economics, Public Finance , Oxford Economic Papers, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and the 'Zeitschrift fur Nationalokonomie.

· His contribution to the analysis of the effects of taxation on risk-taking behaviour has .received wide attention, including an extensive reference in the Social Sciences Citation Index. '

ESOURCE HANDBOOK A COMMUNITY GUIDE TO UNIVERSITY EXPERTISE

A community dedicated to knowledge is an invaluable "global" resource. With your help we have been able to produce a Concordia Resource Handbook focusing on our expertise. Next year - with your help - it will be even better. 1wo thousand questionnaires have been sent out to make our Handbook even more useful. If you have even more information, please contact Nina Dunn at 4881 without delay.

I've heard it all: no pain, no gain. No guts, no glory. What /figure is that no matter how you slice it, achieving fitness is supposed to hurt. The good people at Recreational Athletics, who are offering a great summer program in aerobics, low and regular impact, weights, dance, martial arts and court sports, teach unsuspecting fools as 1 how not to make it hurt more than is healthy. Besides, these people don' t look like they are in any pain -- they've all logged kilometres in the Fitness Journey . Enjoying a day at the gym in civvies, in no particular order (to protect the innocent) are: Lee Hopkins (Computer Centre), Charles Draimin (Accountancy), Linda Corrigan (Athletics), Janet Corrigan, Elena Marsillo (Registrar Ser­vices), Angie Meehan-Poole (Registrar Services), Christina Sbrocchi, Louyse Lussier (Dean of Students Office), Maria Trigueiro (SIRJCON), Linda Dyer (Management) and me. My thanks to: Phyllis and Michael/or getting married; the Rec Ath gang with whom I've either taken classes or conferred, Vlad, Julie Healy, Sue Parisella, and Kathy Doucas; Aud­Ley for individual attention on good fitness practices; Sylvia and Justine at Weight Watchers and all my WW buddies; and, the lovely people with whom I share office space. You know who you are. La-is-Better (guess which one)

Phon-a-thon friends

Graduate Studies Dean Fred Szabo (left) and Commerce and Administration Dean Steve Appelbaum joined in recently to help out volun­teers working the phones at this year's Alumni Phonathon. The fund-raising event was held during nine evenings at the head office of the Laurentian Bank of Canada. The locale was generously provided by bank President and CEO Dominic D'Alessandro and Vice-President, Finance, Roy Firth. D' Alessandro, Chair of the Alumni Division of Concordia's Annual Giving Programme, graduated from Loyola in 1967 with a BSc; Firth is a Concordia graduate (B . Comm '75) . Pictured above, to the right of the deans, is the opening night's team captain, Stephen E. Huza (SGW BA '73 ).

CONCORDIA IN THE NEWS I

Gazette Le Devoir ta Presse Globe and l\1ai1 Suburban Chronicle Globe and Nlail

The mass student demonstrations in China have made Martin Singer, Director of Concordia's Council for International Co-opera­tion, and Lindsay Crysler, Associate Professor and Director of the Journalism Program, much-sought-after media resources.

... Singer's expertise in contemporary Chinese history with emphasis on modem Chinese student movements prompted CJAD to call on him twice in the last few weeks to shed light on the situation. Yesterday he was a guest on a Chinese-language radio show on community station CINQ. · ·

... Crysler's teaching experience in the People's Republic made him the perfect choice for a guest spot on CJAD's Exchange. In April and May, the buzzword in the news was budget, federal and provincial. The media turned to several of Concordia's own

to lend some insight into the policies, the leaks and their impact. ... Harold Chorney, Assistant Professor of Political Science, sat opposite Barbara Frum and Wood Gundy chief economist John

Grant on The Journal, discussing how the federal budget will affect Canadians. Two weeks before the budget, Chorney released a study prepared for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives outlining his own budget proposals to reduce the deficit. The item was carried nationally across the Canadian Press newswire .

... Lindsay Crysler again: this time he was Dave Bronstetter's guest on CBC Radio 's Homerun to discuss journalistic ethics in view of the federal· budget leak.

· ... Rector Patrick Kenniff was a presence in most Montreal media, from Newswatch to Pulse and The Gazette, examining the provinciaal budget's impact on universities.

. .. Turning to more positive subjects, Commerce and Administration Dean Steven Appelbaum spoke to This Week in Business about favourable job prospects for Quebec's anglophone university graduates, with bilingual graduates getting a bigger edge on the job market.

... Stephen Block, a lecturer at the School of Community and Public Affairs, appeared on CBMT-6's People First, talking with host Jon Kalina about changes being considered for the unemployment insurance system.

On the Fine· Arts front ... ... Accolades were heaped on Guido Molinari, Professor of Painting and Drawing, by Le Devoir's Claire Gravel for a recent

retrospective at a local gallery, calling him "the pope of abstact art in Quebec and in Canada" and "our national monument." ... "Andrew Homzy", Assistant Professor of Music, has been profiled by The Gazette and was lauded by Alain Brunet o_f La

Presse as "professor, arranger, jazz historian, Ellingtonian de premier plan" (referring to Duke Ellington). ... An appearance at the New Dance Series by Sylvain Emard, part-time lecturer in Contemporary Dance, at the Dalhousie Arts

Centre in Halifax was previewed in The Chronicle-Herald. On to things motorized ... ... Mechanical Engineering's participants in the Methanol Marathon (see page 13) earned media coverage from Montreal to

Detroit and back, on radio and television and in print over the past few months applauding their fine performance. . .. And things moneyed... - Donna Va"ica
