Mulroney urges support for Capital Campaign Over 1000 pack Queen E to hear him

The Queen Elizabeth Hotel 's main ballroom was filled to overflowing Tuesday night as more than 1,000 Montrealers turned out to honor former Con­cordia Governor Brian Mulroney for his work on behalf of the University.

The $150-a-plate fund-raiser is expected to earn more than $100,000 for Concordia's Capital Cam­paign. In the process it provided the University and Campaign with national media exposure and paved the way for a renewed round of solicitation within Montreal 's, and Canada 's, business community.

Some of the city's most prominent corporate decision-makers were present at the gala dinner, along with a sprinkling of university officials, media personalities and - even more interestingly - a cross-section of politicos representing all political parties.

Seated at the head table along with Brian and Mila Mulroney were: Concordia Chancellor and Mrs. W. Earle McLaughlin; Board of Governors Chairman and Mrs. Donald W. McNaughton; Rec­tor and Vice-Chancellor John O'Brien and his wife , Joyce; Capital Campaign National Chairman William Stinson; University of Waterloo Principal and Vice-Chancellor Douglas Wright; St. Francis Xavier University President and Vice-Chancellor G.A.M. MacKinnon; and Frank Roberts, General Chairman of Centraide's 1983 campaign. Both MacKinnon and Wright were in attendance because of Mulroney's fund-raising efforts on behalf of their institutions.

The master of ceremonies' duties were shared by media types L. Ian MacDonald, Bob Burns and Stanley Hartt. Both MacDonald and Burns are members of Concordia's Board of Governors.

Despite the serious tone of Mulroney's speech, the mood of the evening was definitely light­hearted. It was the Progressi,;,e Conservative Party Leader's first public appearance in Montreal since being chosen to head the Tories, and many of the

guests took advantage of the occasion to pass by the head table and offer their personal congratulations.

Although Mulroney decided to leave the Board of Governors when his term expired in June, he has agreed to remain as Honorary Treasurer of the Capital Campaign.

The following are excerpts from his speech, which was described by his office as " strictly non­political" in nature.

I am delighted to be ba_ck in Montreal - one of my home towns. I am honoured to join so many friends of Concordia University in assisting an in­stitution which contributes so much to this city and province. · .

.New rector named Patrick]. Kenniff assumes office next June Quebec's deputy minister of Municipal Affairs for the past four years, Patrick J. Kenniff, has been appointed as Rector and Vice­Chancellor of Concordia, effective June 1, 1984, it was announced yesterday by Donald W. McNaughton, Chairman of the Board of Governors, which made the appointment.

Dr. Kenniff, 40, an expert in land management, is also an alumnus of the University. He graduated from Loyola College with a Bachelor of Science degree (honors mathematics, magna cum laudeJ in 1964, and returned for a Bachelor of Arts degree (political science) in 1965.

Outgoing Rector John W. O 'Brien, D.C.L., L.L.D. has ~lso _been named Rector Emeritus in recognition of his long and distmgmshed service to the University.

Dr. Kenniff also- has a law degree from Universite Laval and a Ph .D. in law from the Lon­don School of Economics and· Political Science.

He has been a practicing lawyer a nd has had both teaching and academic ad­ministration experience in a university milieu. He was a part­ner of a Quebec City law firm from 1974-78, and during the same period, taught law at Universite Laval. He was Associate Dean of La w (Research) in 1977-78.

Speaking yesterday afternoon from his Quebec City office·, Dr. Kenniff said he was honored by the appointment and "I look for­ward to returning to my alma mater and working with the University community in help­ing Concordia to develop and prosper" .

Patrick]. Kenniff

When Concordia's new rector Patrick Kenniff assumes office in a little over six months, he may feel for a short while as if he were attending an alumni homecoming event. Patrick Ken­niff is no stranger to this university.

His ties with the Loyola cam­pus are strong, for he spent five years there in the mid-sixties, first as an undergraduate science stud e nt in mathemati c s (honours, magna cum laudeJ, and then as a political science stu­dent. While at Loyola , he spent one year as president of the stu­dent association, and yesterday , a number of hi s form e r classmates recalled how his leadership abilities became quite evident while he occupied that position.

In fact , a year later, in 1965-66, the young Kenniff was elected national president of the Cana­dian Union of Students, a coali­tion of · student groups from See "KENN/FF" page 2

Quebec government yesterday indicated their pleasure at. Ken­niff's appointment.

Th.e new Rector will replace Dr. O'Brien, Concordia' s foun­ding rector, when the latter's se­cond term ends next year. Dr. O 'Brien , a well-known and respected figure, has been at Concordia and before that , at Sir George Williams University, all his working life.

Dr. O'Brien became principal and vice-chancellor of SGW in 1969 and was the driving force in the talks which lead to the merger of his university and Loyola College in 1974.

The appointment of the new Rector was approved at a special meeting of the Board of Gover­nors yesterday. The board was acting on the recommendation of its Advisory Search Committee for the Rector, which was established several months ago .

JohnW. O'Brien

When John O'Brien turns over the rectorship of Concordia to his successor next June 1, he will have spent almost 15 years as chief executive of a major Cana­dian university. Few other university heads can boast such an accomplishment.

Under his leadership , the university has grown steadily so that today it attracts over 25,000 students in d ozen s of undergraduate and graduate pro­grams on two campuses. See "O'BRIEN" page 2

Chairman of the Board of Governors, the publication

University enrolnient increases Student enrolme'nt at Concor­

dia, like almost everywhere else in the country's uniqersities, has increased this year,. Official enrolment figures for the year show an increase of 146 students, or 1.1 per cent, over last year. There are now 25,303 students at the University.

The largest increase in ab­solute numbers is in full-time undergraduate Arts , where enrolment jumped 567 students, or 14.3 per cent, over last year.

Part-time undergraduate Arts is down slightly over last year (3.6 per cent) .

Undergraduate Commerce registered notable decreases in enrolment, for both full - and part-time students. The figure for the former (1991) is down 18.6 per cent , and, for the latter (2372). it is 10.2 per cent less than last year's.

Full-time enrolment has in­creased in Arts, Commerce, Engineering, Computer Science

and Fine Arts graduate pro­grams. The increases ranged from 29.l per cent in Engineering to 0.9 per cent in Commerce. On­ly Science did not register an in­crease; it remained stable with 89 students. On the other hand, part-time graduate enrolments were down compared to last year; only Computer Science showed an increase (8.8 per cent) in this category.

Next week 's TTR will contain a chart detailing enrolment figures.

O'BRIEN Continued from page 1

One of Dr. O'Brien's major responsibilities during his term of office was the complex and lengthy negotiating that led to the creation of Concordia in 1974, through the merger of Sir George Williams University and Loyola College. His notorious pa­tience, integrity and diplomatic skills served both institutions well in the arduous give-and­take sessions that characterized the talks leading up to merger, which was forced on both in­stitutions by the Quebec government.

Indeed, up until as recently as early this year, Dr. O 'Brien was still involved in what was pro­bably the last of the negotiations associated with the merger, the establishment of a new Concor­dia alumni association.

Late yesterday afternoon, the Rector said he felt "it is a good time for the University to make a transition in leadership" and he said he "is pleased to see that Pat Kenniff will be succeeding me."

As for further plans, Dr.

O'Brien said he expects to begin the year's sabbitical next June to which he is entitled and ''after that, we'll see."

On the occasion of Concordia's fifth anniversary in 1979, the, Concordia University Magazine had this to say about Dr. O'Brien's accession to the prin­cipalship of Sir George in 1969: "In one of those quirky denials of Newton's law, O'Brien found himself propelled up, at every stage that the university fell fur­ther and further down into chaos, as the computer centre crisis lashed like a succession of tidal waves across the university until it ceased to function.

" Within nionths, O 'Brien went from his post as dean of arts, to vice-principal, then to principal. " ·

The article was referring to the occupation and subsequent destruction of the Hall Building computer centre by a group of disgruntled students, a series of events that saw three principals at the head of the university over

the short span of less than a year. If crisis was what propelled

Dr. O 'Brien to the top , his entry into the University as a lecturer in economics in 1954 was much more routine . Three years later, he was appointed assistant pro­fessor of economics, and, in 1961 , associate professor and assistant dean. He became dean of arts in 1963.

John O'Brien is well known in the community and his various activities over the years have earned him a solid reputation as an astute and thoughtful in­dividual. He is well respected among his colleagues in Quebec and across Canada, and his low­key but persistent approach in dealing with the Quebec govern­ment, the principal source of the university 's funds, has often been praised by officials .

KENNIFF Continued from page 1

Dr. O'Brien considers that his first five-year term as rector of Corcordia, from 1974-79, pro­duced "a real breakthrough in that (government) recognized the basic principle that this universi­ty is underfinanced relative to others".

across the country. Dr. Kenniff also has had more

recent relationships with the university as Concordia. He became actively involved in the University Mission Study two years ago, when that planning exercise was in its initial stages..-· He was the only non-Concordia official on the Mission Study Steering Committee and in that role, provided significant input into the debate , especially with respect to the attitudes of government regarding univer­sities in general and Concordia in particular.

Dr. {5:ennlff was chosen from~ the Advisory Committee to the Rector on Public Affairs for the Mission Study assignment. He joined the advisory committee, a group of 20-odd community leaders, as a founding member in 1981. The committee provides periodic advice on problems and opp o rtu nit ie s facing the university .

Dr. Kenniff also has had some previous contact with one of the· university's undergraduate pro­grams as a member of the ex­ecutive of the advisory board of the School of Community and Public Affairs in the Arts and Science Faculty.

The new rector has been depu­ty minister of municipal affairs since 1980. From 1978 to 1980, he was assistant deputy minister

(legislation and legal affairs) in the same department. He is the only anglophone deputy minister in the Quebec civil ser­vice and is one of only a handful of anglophones in the upper ranks of the bureaucracy.

Dr. Kenniff has academic and professional experience in · the legal field.

He was admitted to the Quebec bar in 1970 and joined the legal firm of Dupont, Roy, Gingras, Briere et Kenniff in 1974.

He joined the law faculty at Universite Laval as adjunct pro­fessor in 1973 and he became

associate professor and associate dean four years later. He was director of graduate studies in law at the university from 1974 to 1976.

Dr. Kenniff has been a member of the Canadian Bar Association since 1970 and of the Canadian Association of Law Teachers (1973-79) . He has been

. a member of the Canadian In­stitute of Public Administration since 1979. He is the author and co-author of numerous books, ar­ticles and communications in law and related fields.

He is marricd>and is the father of two boys and one girl.

A little ashamed of Mulroney dinner To the Editor:

Believing that "coincidences" or "accidents" are often inform­ing , I was enlightened by the mixing of your stories on literary tests and the honoring of Brian Mulroney by "our" University in the October 27 issue. They do seem connected.

If we must demonstrate so blatantly "our" desire to unite University, corporatism (as evidenced by the head table guests) and the same old politics, then Mr. Mulroney could have at least been invited to give a blatantly "political speech" .

None of us needs to have a test of our "cynical literacy" with the University educating us so well in the facts of modern political and economic life . I am not naive, but I am certainly a bit ashamed and a little disgusted . It becomes more and more difficult to avoid cynicism. William 0 . Gilsdorf Associate Professor Communication Studies

Jane !Jollingsworth Secretary By Philip Szporer

Some may remember them when they appeared together on the stage. The show was Anything Goes, produced by Thearts. She played Hope Harcourt , he Sir Evelyn Oakley.

" It was a terrifying ex­perience," recaUs Jane Holl­ingsworth . "There we were playing an engaged couple evenings, and during the days at Concordia we went back to being secretary and boss.

"Although we were all on a first name basis, I just couldn't call him Brian. All I could manage was Mr . Counihan. ''

That was several years ago; but the Ho lli ngsworth­Counihan team is still together, at least , and this is the context in which most people think of them, in their Concordia posts as secretary to the Dean of Students and Dean of Students respectively .

Hollingsworth' s aspirations as a thespian are ongoing. Most recently, she was on the boards at Jes Masques Dinner Theatre , performing in Eat Your Heart Out , playing the dippy Doris during the show's successful nine-week run.

Hollingsworth has been balancing her love of theatre over the past few years by do­ing theatrical work. At Con­cordia , before working for the Dean of Students' office at Loyola , she reported to the Director of Residences. Also, for a year, she left the univer­sity to work at 'the Royal Vic­toria Hospital's speech and hearing clinic .

Has she managed to create a healthy balance between her two occupations? Y For me it isn't a question of either or," she says. " I enjoy my work at Concordia. I also enjoy

theatre, although I see myself acting in amat.eur produc­tions. Jt's a crazy schedule at times. Rehearsing a show takes up many hours. I wish I had more time for sports and fitness."

Which sports? " I'd like to get onto a curling team.''

If she could pursue anything else she'd like to go back to school to take courses in sociology.

To make the scenario j u:,l a little more complex, it should be noted that her husband of one year is also an actor. Bet'­ween rehearsals, acting and voice lessons, and full-time jobs, they do manage to eke <0ut just enough time to share with each other.

Poetry, fiction lunch time readings to be held

The creative writing faculty of the English Department will be giving lunch time readings of poetry and fiction. Listeners will also be encouraged to pose ques­tions concerning the porcess of producing the ·works.

Although the series is intended primarily for students of the creative writing program, the public is also invited to attend.

Poet and scholar Richard Som­mer will read on November 16, noon, in the Vanier Library Auditorium. He is the author of Ritual Origins of the Odyssey; and co-author of Strangers- and Pilgrims : The Journey in Literature. His books of poetry include Homage to Mr. McMullin,

Blue Sky Notebook, Left Hand Mind, Milarepa, The Other Side of Games. He teaches courses in the writing of poetry as well as a course in myth in literature.

Writer, editor and anthologist Terry Byrnes will read on November 30, noon, Norris Building, Room 308, Sir George Williams Campus. His work has appeared in numerous maga­zines ranging from Science to Rolling Stone. Byrnes is the author of a collection of short stories, Wintering Overi the editor of an anthology of short fiction, Matinees Daily , and is currently completing a novel. He teaches courses in the writing of prose.

Senate deals "\Vith computer-related problems By Carole Kleingrib

Senate was again confronted last week with a number of computer-related problems because Concordia still has no univ e rsity-wide computer literacy policy.

The issue at hand was a cur­riculum change proposal from the Department of Communica­tion Studies involving the con­tinuation of computer-related courses . After a long debate , Senate approved the integration of courses COMS C478 (Seminar and Practicum in Sound). and of COMS C355 and C356 (Com­puters and Media I and Ill into the regular curriculum for 1984-85 . . The University Cur­riculum Coordinating Commit­tee (UCCC) had recommended that the proposal not be im­plemented next year, but that it be reviewed as the computer literacy issue develops.

Speaking against the Com­munication Studies' proposal , Engineering and Computer Science Dean M.N.S. Swamy and Associate Dean Charles Gigu ere expressed concern about the lack of overall plann­ing as more Arts and Science departments introduce computer-related courses . " The great debate on computers is on­ly beginning,'' Giguere said as he advised that the aforementioned courses be given one more year as "slot" courses.

Communication Studie s Chairperson Gail Valaskakis and Professor Thomas Kovats, who were given speaking privileges, explained the need for students

to acquire "digital technology knowledge and computer hands­on experience" necessary today in many aspects of communica­tions and media fields. ''This is not a course on programming.but on the organization of visual se­quences. The students teach themselves . Furthermore, we already have _the necessary equipment to teach the course," Kovats said. The equipment con­sists of two Apple micro­computers , complete with TV monitors, tape recorders and printers, but classes are limited to 24 students.

Speaking as a representative of the UCCC, Assistant Arts and Science Dean for Curriculum, John Drysdale , urged Senate to consider the courses as Com­munication Studies courses and not as part of the computer literacy issue, and to add them to the 1984-85 regular curriculum.

Ironically~ that very issue was next on Senate's agenda. Rector John W. O'Brien and Associate Vice-Rector Academic James Whitelaw presented the UCCC's suggested framework for the debate . " No firm decisions can be expected at this meeting . What is intended is an initial ex­ploratory discussion on com­puter literacy," O 'Brien said.

lt is to be noted that according to the .Computer Science Sub­Committee' s report all fo ur faculties have very different and specific computer needs related to their students ' fie lds of studies and career orientation .

Giguere opened the d iscussion

by outlining his faculty' s basic position on the issue, which con­siders basic computer literacy a waste of time and resources at a University level. "At a time when the government seems determined to introduce com­puter literacy at the elementary , high school and CEGEP levels , we must .closely reexami~e our priorifies," Giguere said. He sug­gested that anyone can become computer literate by buying one of the many inexpensive pocket microcomputers and self­teaching manuals available on the market . Giguere even took time to demonstrate how easy it is to become computer liter~te' by passing his own Radio Shack pocket computer around the table and getting senators to try it.

Lonergan College Principal Sean McEvenue pointed out that the University should begin con­sidering the money which will be necessary to solve the pro­blem. For background informa­tion on computer literacy, see The Thursday Report , October 27, 1983, " Computer literacy course proposed".

In other business , the discus­sion focussed on a proposal to combine the position of Dean of Graduate Studies and Associate Vice-Rector Research . It is essen­ti a l that this posi t ion be

· established at the Vice-Rector level in order to give the in­dividual who will occupy that position the necessary voice to lobby for research money for the University, Giguere told Senate.

Agreeing with Giguere, Arts and Science Division II Dean June Chaikelson underlined how important it is for Concordia that research gain prominence here. The research position should be a line and not a staff position, Chaikelson said, and "that per­son should also be responsible fo r the library. We m ust become more visible so in­dustries who want to come for­ward will know that they have a contact in the Unive rsity" , Chaikelson said after Psychology Chairperson Tannis Arbuckle­Maag noted that her department had recently undertaken high­p rofile r esea r c h fo r th e aerospace industry .

Chaikelson also told Senate she could only applaud the sug­gestion for a single position of Vice-Rector Academic, because having two Vice-Rectors has been divisive for the University and less than conducive to academic planning.

O'Brien said that new posi­tions ,at the Vice-Rector level could be created despite budgetary conditions if the University community wished it, and that the Graduate Studies Dean's position had been extend­ed for a year while a task force studies the reorganization of graduate studies and research at See "SENATE" page 7

Ne~ assistant, asso_ciate Conunerce & Adnrlnistration deans nruned Assistant Dean Charles Draimin

By Patricia Moser En<;ouraging and facilitating

research for both PhD students and fac ulty are the major objec­tives of Charles Draimin, the newly appointed Assistant Dean of the Commerce and Ad­ministration Faculty.

The position itself is a new one for the faculty, which has recent­ly been going through a number of administrative changes. The assistant dean 's position incor­porates the duties of both the Director of the PhD program and that of the Faculty Research Office.

"The position was created to give some clout and emphasize the importance of research, since, historically, research has not been as important in this faculty as in others," said Draimin.

Draimin has a background which makes him well suited to this position. He obtained his Certified Accounting standing ten years ago, and he has an MA and PhD in economics. He has been teaching accountancy at Concordia since 1973 and more recently he was Director of the MBA program.

Draimin has already begun a program which he· hopes will help him meet his objectives.

"We have started a visiting-

C.harles Draimin

workshop program which is in­tended for both PhD students and faculty. This sort of thing has existed before , but there_ were many problems since there was not structure to deal with it. This year, we should have a speaker once a week," said Draimin.

The general idea of - the speakers' program is to put the

Faculty more into the flow of research work elsewhere and to help expand the academic network.

Draimin hopes that he will also be able to stem the tide of PhD dropouts and those who take too much time to complete their PhD.

"A general problem which ex­ists in Commerce is that some people just don't finish their PhD and others take much longer than expected to complete it. This costs not only a lot in resources but also in people's lives," stated Draimin.

He notes that doctoral students often take jobs and this leads some of them into the workforce instead of completing their thesis. Draimin hopes that he will be able to ease the financial straits, which causes students to look elsewhere , by aiding students in their quest for funding.

Draimin is presently looking into other activities which he hopes will also encourage research, such as a working paper series, colloquia and workshops on specific topics.

"Those who teach at a univer­sity should not only pass on knowledge but they should also contribute to it ."

Associate Dean Peter Pitsiladis The future for the professional Commerce and Administration programs at Concordia lie in educating for the long term, since current practices are often outdated in five years, according to Peter Pitsiladis, the new Associate Dean of the Faculty.

" Management is victimized by fashion. A lot of things come and go, and since other people are us­ing certain methods, we feel we should as well," said Pitsiladis. " What we hope to accomplish in the commerce graduate pro­grams is giving the student knowledge which is relevant regari:Uess of the fashion."

Pitsiladis is well -known around the University. He is a management professor and most recently was the Director of the MBA program. He has received numerous academic and related honours , including the Award of Excellence from the Ad ­ministrative Sciences Associa­tion of Canada, of which he is serving as a consultant to the In­ternational Development and Research Centre's cooperative study of problems of enterprise effectiveness in Egypt. Further­more, he is heavily involved in educational affairs in Montreal and the province of Quebec. _

Pitsiladis noted that the Facul-

ty is "cranking up'.' for an ex-­amination and evaluation of cur-­rent graduate programs to deter-, mine what, if any, major changes· are necessary .

"We are looking to introduce new programs and modify ex­isting ones. We can never assume that what we have is what we should have ," he said.

The possibility for new pro­grams exist, however, and Con­cordia must find a niche which is not currently being serviced by other universities. New pro­grams are under the close

' scrutiny of the Quebec govern­ment, and it would not fund pro­grams of which there are already too many. Pitsiladis indicated that the Commerce and Ad­ministration Faculty is currently investigating several possibilities in this area.

One of the major problems in expanding a Faculty with "tremendous ·growth potential" is acquiring the faculty to teach.

"There is a drastic shortage in supply of faculty for commerce and administration, and there is a lot of competition in · the marketplace for qualified per­sonnel," said Pitsiladis.

Given the resources, however, Pitsiladis believes the programs can be extensively expanded

Peter Pitsiladis

without sacrificing quality. The new associate dean is

"having fun " and looking for­ward to .accomplishing many things during his term. _

"We have an excellent Faculty and in the future we can serve the community and the Univer­sity because the determination is already there."

How to really get away from it all

The National Research Coun­·cil (NRC) is inviting all students and faculty members in all dis­ciplines in Canadian un iversities to participate in the Getaway Special Competition. It is an op­portunity to propose a scientific experiment for a Space Shuttle Mission in the first half of 1986.

Submissions received by the deadline , February 15, 1984, will be reviewed by experts in related fields . The selection procedure will favor proposals which in­clude innovative approaches have the potential to succeed and to generate new scientific data and involve team effort with stu­dent participation.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Council will par­ticipate in the selection of the winner.

The winner, announced May 1, 1984, will be expected to supp­ly the flight experiment, i.e . samples or apparatus within 18 months. NRC will assist with the development of the experiment and provide testing, integration, electrical services, thermal con­trol, launch services, travel and liaison with NASA.

The experiment must be com-

patible with NASA's Getaway Special . The following are rele­vant data for initial planning:

Getaway special: A cylindrical container, attach­

ed inside the Shuttle's cargo bay. Options: -

• 50 cm diameter; 35 cm or 70 cm long. • Pressured or vented. · • Solid cover, optical window, or opening lid. • Maximum load 90 kg.

This year, the Religion Depart­ment is holding a series of collo­quia on religious heterodoxy and orthodoxy. One of the objects of the colloquia is to be able to iden­tify what social conditions make society brand certain people as heretics.

Already, Professor Sheila McDonough has given the first paper , " Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy, a Cultural Perspec­tive". The two topics remaining for this semester are "Orthodoxy Heresy and Moral Relativism" to be given by Professor Fred Bird today-, and "Orthodoxy and Heresy on the Indian Subconti­nent" , to be given by Professor A. Joy, on December 8.

The colloquia take place bet-

ween 1 p .m . and 2:30 p.m. at the department , and are open to graduate students and faculty members. The dates and topics for the second semester have not yet been confirmed.

According to Department chairman Jack Lightstone, " Our department has always run, at least as long as I've been here, in house departmental colloquia. Jealously guarded, I might add. It tends to be strictly for ourselves. It's never been strictly advertis­ed although there is no policy of exclusion.

"We have also kept the slots, in terms of papers, for ourselves, as a means of testing our research on one another. It's See "RELIGION" page 7

Thinking about leaving Quebec? Think again, advises Alliance Quebec · Rich people in big houses on a certain extinct volcano. That's the stereotype of English­speaking people still held by a fe w hardline Quebec na ­tionalists. It is a myth which Alliance Quebec has been suc­cessful in dispelling with a ma­jority of French-spea k ing Quebecers.

Now the time has come to at­tack the bogeyman in our midst: the equally pernicious myth that there is no career future for English-speaking people in this province.

Alliance Quebec has p ut together an Employment Oppor­tunities Development Package (EODP) which lays out the job prospects for non-francophones in the 1980s. A detailed presenta­tion of this information will be made at the University on the Loyola Campus on Tuesday, November 8 at 1:30 p .m. in the Sheehy & Fedele Conference Rooms, upstairs in the Campus Centre. This will be the first in a series of Alliance Quebec meetings on the Campus,

Distributing the EODP is one of several activities of the Alliance since it was formed ear­ly in 1982 to represent English-­speaking Quebecers, lobby on their behalf, and work towards strengthening the province 's English-speaking community while building bridges to the French-speaking community. In ­order to achieve this, it has organized English-speaking Quebecers at the grassroots level across the province.

The organization's programs

revolve a ro u nd education , health and social services, employment/business, culture and researc h , Amo ng its -achievements has been a lower­ing of the pass mark for French language tests which profes­sionals must take.

Alliance Quebec has also stic­c e ed e d in having Fre n ch recognized by the fe d eral government as a job skill, res-ulting in u nempl oye d English-Quebecers being able to continue receiving DIC benefits while studying French full-time. The Alliance has also supported several court cases based on linguistic problems, and it pro­vides information and legal sup­port to individuals harrassed by the over-stringent application of Quebec's language law, Bill 101. -The first step in creating the

EODP package was taken in 1981 with the distribution of a questionnaire to CEGEP and high school students in many parts of the province. Students were asked whether they plann­ed to stay in Quebec, what

- obstacles they saw in remaining, and what means they could sug­gest to overcome these barriers.

Their response left no doubt about the wisdom of developing the package: 30% were planning to leave the province. Students also suggested that improved French instruction and more career information would help them pursue careers in Quebec.

The kit consists of five colour­coded binders, each representing a self-contained section of the package. Each binder contains

materials on a specific theme related to the development op­portunities in Quebec. Together they form an integrated and comprehensive package. Includ­ed are several federal and pro­vincial government publications.

Content of the five binders is as follows:

1. Job prospects for the 1980s - a look at the Quebec job market based on economic growth projections until 1985.

2. Occupations & i:iualifica­tions - the prerequisites for specific occupations that are ex­pected to be in demand, in­cl u ding occ u pational re­quirements. In addition, occupa­tional training programs are described.

3. Linguistic Requirements and Language Learning -stresses the importance of a functionaJ knowledge of French and its place as a prerequisite for employment and su gge s ts· various ways of learning French.

4. Job Search Techniques -Tips on how to find a job and conduct oneself during a job in­terview, as well as a description of the services available at Canada and Quebec Manpower Centres.

5. Career Education & Explora­tion - this volume examines the importance of career education, gives examples of existing " work-study" progams in our schools and presents some of the available material on career exploration. This article has been prepared by Alliance Quebec.

MULRONEY Continued from page 1 give money. Either way, I'm sure the cheques will be accepted .and cashed promptly by Concordia .

Great books have been written about the role of the university in society - its role as a source of new ideas, a defender of free speech and a servant of the community.

No one attending a Canadian university today can fail to appreciate these roles and to be influenced by them .

The exposure to new ideas, the examination of moral values, the constant exchange of viewpoints and the camaraderie of fellqw students - these are the enriching experiences of higher education .

These are also the experiences which open minds and bring the gift Qf tolerapce and understan­ding to a society. These are the experiences which enable men and women to enjoy more challenging lives. It is of these that society requires much in return .

Like all outstanding univer­sities, this is the type of educa­tion that Concordia seeks to pro­vide its students. And as an im­portant part of Montreal, it is well-equipped for the task.

Montreal is after all a truly cosmopolitan city - unique in Canada - a city of French and English mainstreams, both of which have been delightfully altered and enhanced · by a cultural wellspring from around the world.

Every day, students at Concor­dia are exposed to the diversity of Montreal. Indeed, the city 's pluralism is reflected in the stu­dent population .

While 64% of the students speak English. as their fi rst language, the number of French students has more than doubled over the last decade .

Today, both of our official languages are used here; both are respected; both are essential to the daily workings of the Univer­sity . The number of students whose mother tongue is neither English nor French has also grown dramatically. Over 17% of this year's class speak neither English nor French as their fi rst language.

By bringing these students together in a learning environ­ment , Concordia is playing a vital role in fostering understan­ding and mutual respect bet­ween different ethnic and linguistic groups. Ed_ucation is in-· deed a key to harmony in a pluralistic society.

In short , the bilingual and multicultural character of Mon­treal imposes a special respon­sibility on its institutes of higher learning . •

Concordia continues to meet its responsibilities in a con­sistently impressive manner.

As I reflect upon the roots of Concordia, I am reminded of what Gratton O 'Leary told my own graduating class: ' ' A good education, he said , does not pro­vide you with a standard of liv­ing; it provides you with a stan­dard of life ."

One of the first people I met when I moved to Montreal in the early 60s was an equally young man who worked in the Credit Department of a large downtown fi rm . He had a grade 11 educa­tion , had been in the armed forces, was married, had a fami­ly, no money - and lots of ambition.

Today he is a very successful lawyer and businessµian , deeply involved in community affairs, who got his chance to grow in a stimulating intellectual environ­ment because of a democratic in­s titution called Con cordia University . The splendor of a sidewalk university with flexible schedules, night classes, a cen­tral location and continuing education made it possible for one man to alter dramatically his life and his horizons. And there are thousands like him for whom the golden word "opportunity" has become synonymous with the name Concordia.

If our universities are to suc­ceed in their mission , if they are to· educate as many people as possible - they must have the resources to do the job.

T-he demographics and realities of Canada change quick­ly. In a large metropolitan area like Montreal, with working mothers, single parent famili es, tragic poverty lines, universities must be socially responsive and accessible or they shall cease to have relevance to a large sector of o ur citi ze ns . Presid en t Johnson once said: "We must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our peo­ple to walk through those doors. "

As fundraisers for Concordia, cl we can open doors for students g by raising funds for entrance _ scholarships , bursaries and the i like . We can equip them to walk ~ through these doors by raising funds for laboratories, books and libraries - the tools of their academic training.

All of this must flourish at a given time, in a given environ­ment. It is a called a university. Tonight it is called Concordia .

Years ago, John Morely wrote that ''The mind is not a vessel to be filled ; it is a hearth to be lighted ." A man or woman may be a great scientist , technician, or doctor and yet not be educated . The reason is that education , true education , is something that concerns ·the understanding heart, that con­cerns the spirit , that concerns the human soul.

This is an enormous challenge to ask anyone to undertake. And yet we routinely ask our univer­si ties - their professors, ad­ministrators, governors and staff - to accept the overwhelming responsibility of shaping minds that will cure an illness, lead a nation , build an empire or heal a child .

How indispensable it is that our universities go about such a noble task with the certain knowledge of the full support of a grateful community.

Nearly 50 years ago, Dr. Moses Coady, one of Canada's most outstanding educators wrote:

"We have no desire ... to create a na ti on of mere

r

i i "If our universities are to succeed in their mission, if they are to educate as

many people as possible - they must have the resources to do the job. , ,

shopkeepers whose thoughts run , only to groceries a nd to dividends. We want our students to look into the sun and into the · depths of the sea. We want them to explore the hearts of flowers and the hearts of fellow men. We want them to live, to love, to play and pray with all their being.

" We want them to be men , whole men, eager to explore all the avenues of life and to attain perfection in all their faculties . We want for them the capacity to enjoy all that a generous god and creative men have placed at their disposal. We desire above all that they will discover and develop their own capacities for creation ."

There are other · definitions of the larger role of a university in the life of a nation but I know of none more compelling nor elo­quent than that.

Dr. Coady was speaking of a degree of social responsibility: of freedom from prejudice; a sense of tolerance; a respect for

- Brian Mulroney

minorities; an appreciation of ex­cellence; he was speaking as well of the magnificent ac­complishments in life that come from genuine cooperation and commitment.

In articulating his view on the · role of a university in modern

society , Dr. Coady was telling us by implication of the attitudes re­quired to build a nation .

In large measure, we shall determine the character of Canada' s leadership tomorrow, in a dozen different ways, by the extent to which we are disposed to sacrifice and invest in our universities today . Many people believe that the highest form of public service is elected office. It is certainly the most visible form but others command attention and respect.

No less important than elective office is the work of the roughly 3 million Canadians who donate over 375 million hours a year to work as volunteers. Volunteers for one of our 40,000 registered

charities. Volunteers in hospitals and Centraide, volunteers for a university fundraising drive.

These are society 's unsung heroes.

My views on this are probably influenced by my own activities as a volunteer , with such agen­cies as Centraide, the Quebec Association for the Mentally Retarded, the Canadian Council of Christians and - Jews, and university fundraising campaigns.

In these roles I witnessed first­hand the altruism and tireless dedication of Canadians from all walks of life .

If the three million or so Cana­dian volunteers were being paid, statisticians say their labour would be worth $2 billion a year.

But in human terms, it is worth far more than that.

For the help that comes to the needy from volunteers is help with a human dimension; help that adapts itself to the cir­cumstances of each individual; help that can be measured not only by the quantity that is given , but by the care with which it is tendered .

And so your work on behalf of Concordia will not have im­mediate rewards. But it is pro­bably among the most important work you will ever do. It will benefit not only students here to­qay, but those of a distant and often uncertain future.

And as these students join the work force and become involved in the community and the coun­try, your investment - your en­during contribution to an enrich­ed country will emerge in sharp and attractive focus .

If I sound like a believer in volunteerism, it is because I am. Anything that distances one -however modestly - from the all pervasive notion of government intervention in our lives, glad­dens my heart, lightens my step and holds promise for a different tomorrow.

And I know many of you share my belief.

Someone once said that the art of persuasion can be stated in fiye words - b e li eving something and convincing others. Given our shared belief in volun teerism , we are almost halfway toward our goal in the Capital Campaign.

I am confident we can realize the objective we have set for ourselves here at Concordia, and in the process assist the Univer­sity in providing to each and every student the type of quality education he or she will need to be a productive and caring member of our society.

In other words, the type of per­son who might want to become a volunteer himself in a wor­thwhile cause such as this, and in the process, contribute hand­somely to the ongoing legacy of a greater Concordia and a better Canada.

Debators begin_ • • prormslllg season

With the tournament season only just underway, the Concor­dia Debating Society has already begun to exhibit great promise for the coming year.

The Queen 's Novice Tourna­ment, held annually at Queen 's University in Kingston , -is the first Canadian tournament of the season. Geared towards new ar­rivals in the debating clubs of CEGEPs, colleges and univer­sities all across Canada , the tour­nament is open to all debators who have not yet competed at the university level.

This year Concordia integrated the tournament with their new novice lecture series, designed to provide newcomers with the rudiments of public speech and parliamentary debate . The tour­nament proved to be a good lear­ning experience and a great time for a ll invo lved . Michael Paulette, a promising Concordia debator , brought back the se­cond speaker's prize for his ef­forts in competition .

The following weekend six more debators were packed into a station wagon and sent off to New York City for the first American tournament of the season at Fordham University in the Bronx. Concordia speakers outdid themselves at this two­day event featuring 66 teams ( 132 speakers) from the US and Canada.

The team of Chris Cassidy and Michael O 'Grady finished third ov~rall , followed closely by Alain,Lajoie and Teresa Scassa in fo urth place. Concordia speakers

also collected their share of in­dividual prizes: Chris Cassidy took the second speaker's award , Alain Lajoie was fourth , Michael O 'G rady sixth , and Teresa Scassa ninth .

Toronto 's annual Hart House Debating Tournament followed -closely on the heels of Fordham, taking place the followl_n g weekend. Four Concordia teams were sent to one of Canada's o ldest , la r gest , and most prestigious tournaments.

Concordia, who won the tour­nament last year , were disap­pointed with their finish . While certainly not a disgraceful show­ing, it was far less than expected by the society. The team of Alain Lajoie and Michael O 'Grady place eleventh , and top Concor­d ia sp eak e r was M ic ha e l O'Grady in ninth place. The con­trast in results from Fordham a nd T o ronto p e rha ps th e highlight the difference in the Canadian and American ap­proach to debating.

Tournaments form only a small part of the Debating Society 's activities. Tutorials in debating and public speecg are offered by Concordia 's coaches every Friday from 1-2 p .m., followed by general meetings from 2-6 p.m . (H-620) where students are encouraged to par­ticipate in rounds of debate.

The successful novice lecture series will b e re p ea t e d throughout the year as demand dictates, and meetings for more instruction are now offered on a voluntary basis two times a week

"It 's about time" is the subject Dr. C. C. Costain of the National Research Council will explore in a lecture on November 8 at 8:30 p.m. in Room H-110 of the Hall Building, sponsored by the Science College. Since 1972, Costain has been the head of the National Research Council's /NRC} Time and Frequency Section, Division of Physics. He.has 40 publications to his credit, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada as well as a member of many Physics societies and a Fellow of the Insitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

As section head, Costain has been responsible for coordinating the suc­cessful program in the development of the NRC primary cesium frequency and time standards and for the extension of services in time dissemination in Canada and internationally via geostationary satellites.

A humorous and witty speaker, Costain will discuss the practical use of very precise time and the method of constructing the International Atomic Time System. The National Research Council is responsible for primary standards in Canada, and this includes the standard of time. Since 1967 the second has been defined in terms of transition of the cesium atom, and four long beam primary cesium clocks have been built to maintain time for Canada. The NRC is also responsible for the dissemination of time, via the short-wave radio station C}fU, the CBC, and telephone ,satellites.

to interested debators . Also planned are seve ral

public events this semester in­cluding a high school tourna­ment scheduled for November 26, and an year '·s end pub round with debators from Colgate University in the United States. Persons interested in any or all aspects of debating and public speech are invited to attend regular meetirngs or to call 879-8404 or c\rop by our office, EN-399-20.

been standard for us to try out preliminary drafts of conference papers and even parts of our books on one another to get feedback .

" From time to time, we take certain themes of particular salience that cut across our jn­di vid ual backgro und s and devote an entire year 's C:Olloquia to that theme."

"Then, " he continued, "we usually try to take the show on the road to the conference of the Canadian Society for the Study of Religion. After that , we essen­tially took over an entire issue of the Journal of Religious Ethics. I think it was published along with the response of several academics outside this depart­ment. "

This kind of int e r ­departmental i ntellect u al cooperation may be the reason why the Religion Department J;ias one of ,the highest rates of publication of any such depart­ment in North America. The department is also helped by the fact that it is made up of faculty from a wid e spectrum of d i s ci p li n e s . Ap a r t from specialists in the different world religions there are also historians and a!}thropologists. This range of expertise allows for inclusive scholarship. 'J'.he two layers of criticism, from the colloquia and from conferences, help explain their high rate of publication.
