Science ·college wins senate approval By Mark Gerson

An hour-long debate culminating in a Senate vote of 26 to 5 ;:it Friday's April meeting paved the way for the creation of Concordia's seventh "small unit", the science college.

The proposal, as amended by Senate, now goes to the Board of Governors for final approval. (See page 4 for partial text.)

The amendments incorporated in the comments and recommendations of the university curriculum coordinating committee (UCCC) and tabled the section dealing with the BA specialization in science journalism until UCCC has had· a chance to study

the proposal. Throughout the debate, physics

professor Stanley Morris repeated his concern that the 30-credit structure of the science college curricuium would "not allow (college) students to follow honours ohvsics" (a 72-credit program) and he urged Senate to consider dropping the required college core to 18 credits.

College representatives and biology professor Elaine Newman and division III dean Maurice Cohen both said that the proposal had been endorsed by the chairmen of all division III departments and that course substitution should be possible in most cases.

Bob Wall, division IV provost, reminded senators that similar problems,- which existed with the liberal arts college, were solved through negociation.

"We seem to forget, " added Dean Cohen, "that we have a large number of major students,- and that these students, with a science college background, would be very acceptable to American graduate schools. He told Senate that he had taken a draft proposal of the college to Berkeley, Stanford and Harvard where he was told that in some cases they would

Commerce gets exec-in-residence

Former bankerilt Concordia By Beverley Smith

If Arts faculties can have their writers-in-residence or resident experts, why not a similar position for Commerce faculties?

In keeping with the practice of engaging resource people from outside the university to lend their expertise to the academic community, Concordia's Commerce faculty has created the new position of "executive-in-residence", filled by W.T.G. Hackett.

Hackett isn' t new to academic life. Since retiring in 1970 from the Bank of Montreal, where he was vace-president of investments and money management, Hackett has been "lodged" in Concordia's Finance department as a vart-time lecturer to final-year Commerce and MBA students.

He is also chairman of the commerce and admnistration consultative committee, established in 1973 to bring together representatives of faculty , students and the business community.

Any large organization should have at least one tame dinosaur-with a good memory, " says Hackett, eyes twinkling.

Duder recalls diplomatic days at long service dinner

The following remarks are an excerpt of the speech of Dr. R.P. Duder, Secretary to the Board of Governors, at the Long Service Dinner on April 30 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

A diplomat has been variously defined as an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country, as a badly-trained reporter (a definition beloved of the press) as a long-haired intellectual (I accept the noun and wish most sincerely that the adjective ap­plied to me), as a cookie-pusher, as a member of the striped pants brigade, and as a man who must be disarming even though his country isn' t. . .In my twenty years' experience I found most diplomats to be hard-working and underpaid representatives of their country, whose time is seldom their own, whose weekends and supply of drinks are frequently at the disposal of visiting firemen and whose health is constantly endangered.

To give you some idea of what diplomatists have to do in their profes?ion, of the variety of subjects on which they may have to become experts in short notice, let me say that in the course of but two years I carried out the following tasks and held the following appointments: 1. I was first Secretary and Consul of the Ca11adian Embassy in Belgrade and acted on several occasion as Charge d'Affaires. 2. I was Charge d'Affaires at the Canadian Legation in Vienna for a glorious three weeks, filled with music and Wiener Schnitzels, in order to enable the incumbent of the post to take leave. (We had but one officer in Vienna in those days) ; "Wien, Wien, nur Du allein Du sollst die Stadt rneiner Triiume sein."

3. I represented Canada for two weeks at a conference of younger diplomats in Switzerland, held under the auspices of the Friends' In­ternational Centre, to discuss "The Task of Diplomacy in a Divided World". It was during this Conference

that I received a telegram from the Department of External Affairs saying in brief, "You have now been selected for duty in Indochina. Get there. "; 4. I was acting Commissioner and later Commissioner and Head of the Canadian Delegation to the In­ternational Supervisory Commission in Cambodia. 5. I became the Foreign Service Member of the Directing Staff of the· National Defence College of Canada .

As you can see from this bare and modest recital , I did not have much time for loafing or holidays or for chasing Olga the Beautiful Spy. The only real rest I had took the un­welcome form of a month in a military hospital in Hong Kong recovering from hepatitis. Remembering those loneley weeks, I thank God I had but one liver to sacrifice for my country - but that is doubtless a jaundiced view.

Let me now describe briefly some of the less serious events of that extremely varied period - une periode bien rnouvernentee. The two Balkan ex­periences which give . me the most pleasure to recall were first the celebration at Serajevo on November 29, 1953, of the Yugoslav National Day (the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic) and secondly, the state visit to Belgrade of the Emperor Haile-Selassie of Ethiopia, who later came to such a tragic end.

For the first of these, the diplomatic corps was transported overnight by special train to Serajevo. President Josef Broz-Tito and his handsome wife received us at a brilliant reception in the Town Hall. Light bulbs were flashing everywhere and the hall was gay with handsome uniforms sparkling jewels and gleaming orders. The next morning, in all the Yugoslav papers there appeared, much to my surprise and amusement, a picture of Tito shaking hands with me. The story which circulated among my diplomatic colleagues was that I had been mistaken for the French Ambassador! Si no e vero, e rnolto hen trovato, and,

at least, it means, or I take it to mean, that I once looked ambassadorial.

When Haile-Selassie came to Belgrade in 1954, there was a gala performance at the National Theatre of the superb national dances of Yugoslavia. I derived a great deal of quiet fun from looking around me at the leading Communists, Tito, Kardelj Rancovic, Pijade and their ladies, wearing across their well-nourished chests the brilliant sashes of their newly-acquired Ethiopian orders. Nothing could have been more suggestive of la haute bourgeoisie . The people who thronged the square outside the theatre loved the show we put on for them. Bread and circuses.

A month or two later, I found myself translated to Phnom Penh, the now sadly forlorn capital of Cam­bodia, working in the intense heat of that little kingdom with an Indian Ambassador and a Polish Ambassador at the task of making sure that the terms of the Geneva Agreement of July 1954 on the cessation of hostilities were being properly observed by both sides . May I now describe for you, in the time at my disposal , a few scenes from among the many that were colourful and unforgettable, scenes, which often recur to my mind when I think back to my tour of duty in that fascinating Country, in the north of which the ,magnificent ruins of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thorn bear silent testimony to a great past and now a horrible present.

The first took place on a bright morning in February, 1955. The young king of Cambodia, Norodurn Sihanouk Yarman, had summoned the diplomatic corps to meet him at the Palais Khemarin, his private palace. When we were all seated and served with champagne, he described to us for three hours in fluent and faultless French his proposals for reforming the electoral procedures in his land. The British Ambassador, at the King's request, acted as interpreter. It was one

of those extraordinary scenes which, for me at any rate, belong to the endless fascination of the diplomatic life . A few weeks later, this same young monarch, Norodurn Sihanouk Yarman, without a word of warning, abdicated in favour of his father and mother, founded a political party called, oddly enough, the Peoples' Socialist Movement, and in September 1955 won all the ninety-one (91) seats in the national elections.

One interesting consequence of the King's abdication was the insight it gave me into the influence of the press on the writing of contemporary history. It so happened that the French language paper of Saigon, "Le Journal d'Extrerne Orient", had an agent in Phnom Penh. This enterprising, if not entirely ·reliable, journalist telegraphed his paper that the King had abdicated because the International Supervisory Commission, of which I was the · Canadia·n member, objected to his proposed electoral reforms as not being in accord with the terms of the Geneva Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Cambodia. It was this false version of events which was published without question in all the leading newspapers of the world, including, I regret to state, "The Times", "The New York Times", "The Observer", and 'The Herald Tribune" . The then Cana<;:lian Ambassador in Moscow wrote me to say that he assumed my next publication would be called "I made kings in Cambodia".

Let us turn from this depressing sidelight to the brighter lights of the now defunct Cambodian "Festival of the Waters", la Fete des Eaux, which lasted for three days every autumn and combined the features of a gay regatta with those of a religious festival. The King, according to tradition, would spend three days in his floating mansion, his .Maison Flottante, an­chored in the port of Phnom Penh. Each day he would send a messenger to cut a rope stretched from shore to shore across the waters which are then, according to Cambodian tradition, allowed by him to flow in the opposite direction, which, in fact , they do annually at about this time of year. Each day there the joyous regatta was watched by the King, his court and government, by the diplomatic corps and a throng of visitors and citizens. Towards the end of the afternoon the Brahrnin priest of the palace would appear and offer the King lustral water with which he washed his hands. and face and then put a sacred bay leaf behind his right ear. Each day ended with a procession past the King of illuminated floats led by a floating altar massed with candles one of which the King ceremoniously lights with a long taper. It was a colourful and impressive ceremony which I shall long remember.

If you want to join those millions who have visited the travelling Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition, the fact that you're a Concordian will help you get your ticket faster.

Until May 15, the university's Conference and Information Centre will be selling the $3 .50 tickets for the exhibition which opens at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto on

November 1 . The exhibit, which closes December 31, is to be the only Canadian showing.

Public sale of the tickets begins only August 1 in department stores across the country, but if you are a student, faculty or staff member at Concordia, 160 tickets are now up for sale on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets will be on sale from 9 a .m .

to 5 p .m. at the Information Desk in the Hall Building downtown and are also available at Loyola in room 407 of the Administration Building.

Tickets will be sold at Concordia for four dates only on the following Saturdays in November and December: Nov. 3, 10 & 24 and Dec. 1.

David Bohm unites science, education & values ~

By Judee Ganten Although David Bohm is held in

high esteem by his colleagues in the scientific community, his name is litle known to the general public. For the Concordia community, however, this should change since Professor Bohm . will elucidate his ideas on education and knowledge in general in a talk entitled "Insight and its Relation to Science, Education and Values" on May 23 .

The bulk of Bohm's work has been in the field of theoretical physics, and here he has made his mark. He worked with Einstein at Princeton, where his work was so impressive that the renowned French physicist Louis de Broylie expressed the hope that Bohm would "rescue quantum physics from the cul-de-sac where it is at the moment" .

But Bohm has not been content to remain within the confines of this field . He has continually attempted to ex­pand into other fields in order to bind together many diverse forms of knowledge . .In this sense, he is regarded outside the complex field of quantum mechanics as a holistic force in his tying together such subjects as Einstein's incompleted unity theory, the ideas of J. Krishnamurti on the func­tion of thought and awareness and Karl Pribam's theory of holographic memory.

Bohm says of his attempts_ to go beyond physics:

"In my studies of theoretical physics I have always been interested in what you might call the deeper questions:

the nature of time and space and matter, causality and what is behind i~ all, and what is universal, and although in general I found that very few physicists shared this interest , I h<!.ve always pursued it as best as I could ."

At a time when the fragmented approaches of science and technology have come under critical attack, Bohm's idea that there exists an "implicate order" in the seemingly chaotic and random functioning of both the universe and the human brain

opens up new areas of exploration. Bohm currently serves as a trustee at

the Krishnamurti school in England as and holds a teaching post at the University of London. He is the author of three books; Quantum Theory (1951), Causality and Chance (1957) , and The Special Theory of Relativity (1966) and numerous articles .

He will be speaking at 8:00 p.m. on May 23 in room 435 of the Hall Building .

FOR THE RECORD PropOsal for science college

General Description

-The Science College offerings are conceived as an integrated education in science for a limited number of out­standing students. Science education, as such, does not generally exist at the level of the university. Students are · educated in one discipline or another, but are not encouraged to consider the nature of science itself, or the relationships between disciplines. The Science College Committee considers that students are already provided a satisfactory grounding within, their chosen discipline. It has therefore devoted its plans to other sorts of material with which it feels a science graduate should be .acquainted.

The goal of the Science College is to produce a thinking, articulate student, independent and self-motivated, with a respect for intellectual achievement, a profound understanding of a chosen discipline, a reasonable literacy in other branches of science, and a sense of the position of the scientific un­dertaking in the context of human experience.

We propose for these purposes a set of courses and a number of ex­tracurricular activities. The courses constitute the electives of a student who is following a major, specialization or honours program in the departments of biology~ chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics or psychology, leading to a B.Sc. degree.

Advantages of the Science College to the Concordia Community

Until recent_ly, Concordia University, and its predecessors, Sir George Williams University and Loyola College, have had relatively little visibility in Canadian science. The Science College is expected to help change this image. It will help increase enrollment in Division III, and will attract particularly highly qualified students. This will complement the efforts being made at graduate and research levels, achieving a new reputation for Concordia science.

Since the Science College is planned as a set of courses to complement departmental programs, it will provide to departments a number of very competent students. It will also allow for interaction between staff members in different departments and perhaps lead to some other elements of cooperation between departments. For a very limited number of students in science journalism, it will provide training in a specialty much needed by our society.

The existence of a core of gifted students on the Concordia campus will also provide a nucleus around which events of interest to the entire com­munity of Division III can be arranged. The existence of the Science College should increase the awareness of science of the whole university community. Indeed the college, once established, may sponsor activities aimed at non-scientists, and take an active role in providing opportunities for all students to acquire the knowledge and understanding of science that is needed in the.world today.

The curriculum of the Science College represents a considerable departure from the usual university curriculum. Many institutions have discussed how to teach science to non­science majors, but very few have considered how to inform students in any one discipline as to the nature of the other disciplines (area 1). In­dependent study is frequently seen as a final year honours project, but is rarely found ip the first and second years (area 2). While some course in history and philosophy of science is found in every university curriculum a reworking of these ideas so as to present an integrated course of study directed to the most capable of science students has not been attempted (area 3) . We expect that this approach will be of interest to other institutions, and will add to our reputation for academic innovation.

Science College Courses Area 1. The Content of Science

At the university as presently organized, a student follows a course of study in one discipline with only such supporting courses in other disciplines as may be related to that main course of study. Any acquain­tance with the content of other disciplines is derived from in­troductory, and often pre-university, courses: indeed advanced level survey courses do not exist. To counteract this, the Science College proposes to offer one three-credit course con­trasting the styles of various disciplines; and four three-credit "Topics in Science" courses.

Area 2. Independent Study Most students complete their

university career without ever being responsible for an intellectual en­deavour of any scope, though some of our honours students do an in­dependent project in their final year.

We believe that even this is in­sufficient. We think that the goal of graduating a thinking, articulate student with an independent mind is best served by making the student responsible for some part of the content of the student's own in­tellectual experience. This con­frontation of an intellectual problem with continuing discussion with an advisor, is to be part of the program from the first year.

Area 3. Science as It Relates to Other Human Endeavours

The emergence of the scientific method of thought has greatly in­fluenced the form of the modern world. We want our students to un­derstand both the strengths and the limitations of their tradition, and to have some idea of its relation to the other aspects of our civilization: This material is to be organized in terms of the interests and competence of the students in the Science College.

Workload Implications for Students The committee has considered the

various types of students who might enter this program, and the im- · plications this program has on their workload.

Considering first honours students: honours programs in the relevant departments range from 60-72 credits with one at 75. Discussions with the chairpersons of the various depart­ments have indicated that there is no difficulty in substituting 12 college credits for 12 credits in the 72-credit honours courses. This means that except for the students in the 75-credit program the number of credits required for the B.Sc. degree, including the Science College, will be 90 - as it is for other students in Arts and Science.

However it is nonetheless true that a program made up of 30 credits in the college and 60 credits in honours in a discipline will constitute a heavy program. The college will therefore be particularly careful as to the calibre of students it admits to this program.

The problem for. specialization students is somewhat less severe, though the same sort of considerations will apply. The college committee thinks it likely that most of its students will wish to do a specialization or honours degree. However it recognizes that some very good students prefer to do a major and have a freer choice of courses. It therefore wishes to accept major students into the college, should they meet it~ academic requirements.

Division II H. Habib

Division Ill M.S.Dubas

Summer shuttle schedule If you've been standing around the old Loyola shuttle-bus stop by the

Refectory wondering where the bus is, we have some good news for you. After months of negociations, Concordia finally received permission to create a bus stop on the street. Since April 17, the shuttle bus has been loading and unloading passengers on Sherbrooke, just west of the main campus entrance.

Inter-campus _bus service is being cut back over the summer to reflect the smaller university population. Buses will leave Loyola every hour on the half-hour from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., except during noon-hour when the bus will leave at 12:45 p.m. Service from Sir George will be every hour on the hour between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

"prefer" a major and science college background to a science honours.

Although it was pointed out that no college student was forced to enroll in an honours program, nor was any honours student compelled to join the college, psychology professor Bob Lambert pointed out that Senate "can' t be cavalier aboµt the fact that Canadian graduate schools will only take honours graduates".

Engineering dean M.N.S. Swamy questioned the lack of liberal arts input in the curriculum. Professor Newman replied that because of the high number of courses in science required for graduate programs, the college has had to provide a "rigorous and all­encompassing" curriculum.

Commerce dean Pierre Simon went on record as being opposed to the proposal. He was concerned with the amount of money being spent on low­enrollment areas when Commerce was overcrowded. · Associate vice-rector for reasearch

Michel Desplands shated Simon's concern. He praised the college proposal but wondered about the larger question of low-enrollment, high-quality programs versus very high-enrollment courses that can't be be split up because there's no money.

"Everybody who has spoken has praised the document," remarked French professor and Simone de Beauvoir Institute director Mair Verthuy, "and then has proceeded to niggle. That probably says more about Senate than about any thing else."

In other business, appointments to CCSL were made and amendments to the grading system and undergraduate regulations for supplemental examinations, both based on discussions at previous meetings, were passed. ·

A revision of the Engineering Faculty Council which abolishes councillor . classifications and no longer has all '.assistant deans as ex-officio members was carried after some clarification concerning the methods of consultation within the faculty over the changes. .

Discussion on the "course" section of a document from Arts and Science Faculty Council regarding guidelines for courses and programs in smaller units dealt mainly with the ambiguity of that section. Debate was never concluded because of a motion to table in or-der to allow to the science college proposal to be dealt with.

During question period, finance and administration vice-rector Graham Martin reported on the. air-conditioning problems of the Vanier Library. As a result of a second report from a second firm of consulting engineers, a "detailed plan of experimentation" will start this week. ·.

Professor Martin mentioned that the skylight in the centre of the library still posed "major problems" and that a

-study was being done of the various coatings that ~ould be applied to reduce the heat from that source.

If these alterations produce positive results, they will be undertaken throughout the library by June 1 at a cost of $12,000 said Martin. If not, a new $100,000 air conditioning plant would most probably have to be in­stalled.

But Martin feels that " there is a reasonable chance to solve the problem using the existing situation." · 'Tm more optimistic now that I was in December," he said.

Libraries director Paul-Emile Filion, in answering a question on inter­campus loans posed at last month's meeting by history professor Bob Tittler, said that an intensive s(udy has .been undertaken of the system.

It was discovered that when the requested book is in the library (59 per

' ce·nt of the time) it takes an average of three days from downtown to Loyola, and two days in the opposite direction. Filion explained that this was because books from Loyola went directly to the SEL or Norris libraries whereas books from Sir George went to central receiving at Loyola for distribution to the Vanier or Drummond libraries.

This will be changed, promised Filion, and books will now go directly to Vanier instead of to receiving.

Books that are in use at in the library (11 per cent of the cases) take four days to reach the other campus, and books that are on loan (30 per cent) can take upwards of two weeks.

A system of notifying requesters of the status of their intercampus request will be instituted immediately, said Filion, so people will have an idea of how long they will have to wait.

Filion said that the library is looking · into other improvements with the aim of ]laving requests received before noon delivered to the other campus the same day.

The provincial government's green paper on research was . also part of Friday's agenda . Professor Desplands presented the background of the paper and outlined the internal consultative mechanisms.

"A green paper," he said, "is the beginning of a consultative process. Legislation is down the road, but is certainly' not around the corner. "

He urged senators to participate in the open meeting on the subject on May 9 at 2 p .m. in H-435.

Senate meets next on May 24 in closed session to deal with the spring graduation list. The next open meeting, scheduled as an all-day session, is Friday, May 25 in the conference of the PSBGM.

The Conservatory of Cinematographic Art is greeting the month of May with a dazzling array of films from the U.S.A. , France, Israel, the Soviet Union, Poland, Italy and Quebec. The films of such notable directors as Joseph Losey, Sergei Eisenstein, Billy Wilder, Fran~ois Truffaut, John Huston and Louis Malle will be featured .

The films of Joseph Losey are generally characterized by keen psychological insights into Britain's rigid class structure. The Servant (1963) offers a devastating portrayal of a sick relationship which reverses itself between a rich young fop (Edward Fox) and his servant (Dirk Bogarde). In The Go-Between (1971), Losey continues this theme by exploring the exploitative -relationship between a rich mistress of · the manor (Julie Christie) and her groundskeeper (Alan Bates).

The realism of the early Fellini in Il Bidone (1955) can be compared to the surreal Fellini in Amarcord (1974) and to the coldly decadent Fellini in Casanova (1976) starring Canada's own Donald Sutherland.

On the whole, Billy Wilder's films have survived the test of time. See for yourself in Sunset Boulev_ard (1950) starring Gloria Swanson who plays the part of an aging movie queen, and the wildly hilarious Seven Year Itch (1955) with Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell .

One of filmdom's most versatile directors is Fran~ois Ttuffaut. Two films which give an indication of his ability to switch genres are on the program. Farenheit 451 (1966) is a science-fiction

' .

Concordia film fest /e~tures

• cinema greats

film about a futuristic society which bums books, starring Julie Christie and Oscar Werner. In La Mariee etait en noir, he plays homage to Alfred Hitchcock's techniques in this adaptation of Lionel Black's thriller.

Whether Louis Malle makes a documentary or a drama, he is always provocative. His film Calcutta (1966) provides searing insights into a city that has been described as Hell on earth. Equally stimulating is Lucien Lacombe (1974), where he studies the effect of the Nazi occupation of France during World War II by following the career of a naive young French peasant who joins the collaborationist secret police.

Roman Polanski fascinates or repulses, according to one's taste. He.made Le Couteau dans l'eau , the disturbing story of a psycho-sexual relationship between a young man and an older couple, while still in Poland. The faint-hearted should avoid Repulsion (1965) in which a· young Catharine Deneuve goes slowly mad in a particularly horrible way.

The Quebec entries are the charming and beautiful film J.A. Martin, photographe (1977 winner· of the Cannes Film Festival) and Cher Theo (1975) both directed by Jean Beaudin, and Le chat dans le sac (1964) by Gilles Groulx.

And finally two movies that have turned into classics : the perennial favorite of the cult scene, The Maltese Falcon by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor and Peter Lor:re ; and Sergei Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible Parts I and II .

· Course takes mystery, misery out of math

By.Beverly Smith If you're a woman .and have avoided

math all your life, or have encountered difficulty with math, then Linda Choquette's course, "Demystifying Math for Women," may be just the thing for you.

So successful was Choquette's free eight-week non-credit course for women, offered during the winter at the downtown Simone de Beauvoir Institute, that it's being repeated, this time at the Institute's Loyola location, starting May 17.

Lioda Choquette is no stranger to math. She graduated with a B.A. in mathematics from Sir George in 1977 and is currently doing graduate work in math at the Universite de Montreal while employed as a full-time statistician at Canadian Pacific.

The "Demystifying Math" course was based on similar courses offered in the U.S. Choquette was originally approached about giving the course by the director of the downtown YMCA where she worked part-time while a student.

"Demystifying Math" is designed, she says, "to help you get a clear understanding of math, so you can place it in your life and master it a bit more-so that you can control it, and it doesn't control you."

Women tend to be afraid of technology and computers. "A lot of women won't go into math," says Choquette, "because it's not 'feminine' enough or because men are supposed to

' be more logical, more intelligent." A typical example of this type of

thinking was exhibited by one of the women taking her course.

''When I go out to a restaurant alone," the student said to Choquette, 'Tm fine, I can calculate the tip. But when I go out on a date, I can't do it."

That's why, says Choquette, there are no men in the class. To mix men in the class would be devastating for some women . They would be intimidated by a male presence.

Some women were "turned off" math early on in school and never overcame their fear of it. One woman in this category, Albina Elias, a practising nurse interested in a refresher course in math, said:

"Before I -took Linda's course, I tried an adult education course in math given by the Montreal board of education. I didn't understand a lot, and I ended up dropping out after two classes.

"Demystifying Math was very interesting. I learned a lot, but the most important thing I learned is that I wouldn't have felt ashamed if I didn't know one plus one equals two. Linda was very patient in explaining things. Now, I'm less intimidated. "

The success of "Demystifying Math for

Women," say recent "graduates" of the course, is largely due to the enthusiasm and patience of the instructor and her original approach to the material.

Set theories, equations, statistics, adding and subtracting positive and negative integers, the metric system, keypunching are some areas of the subjects covered in the eight-week course. But even those with previous difficulty in math managed to master the concepts.

"It's because, " says former student Elizabeth Gidney, "Linda took a common-sense approach. It was logical, organic. We learned that math involves symbols to be used for purposes, rather than facts to be memorized."

Choquette was aware of her students' frustrations with math.

"I remember," she says "in the middle of the course, when we were solving equations, the class started to get upset, recalling tlieir past negative experiences.

"But they had fun. They said so. They enjoyed the attention, the feedback. It was the first time they could talk about their problems in math and ask­questions. They felt more relaxed.

"I didn't lecture," she adds. The students participated. They didn't just sit and listen to me .

"If a problem wasn't solved in class," she says, "the student went home and t~ought about it. The idea was to give them time, not to pressure them. Then we talked about it the next week. "

That's why, says Choquette, there was no homework. That's the advantage of a non-credit course.

"If you give a credit course," she explains, "you have to give a mark. To justify the mark, you have to give an exam or homework. This only tells you what you did wrong, not how."

To vary the course, Choquette likes to make a game out of difficult concepts. Or she invites women professionals, using math in their careers, to come and speak to her students. Last term, the visit of a systems analyst and two actuaries aroused keen interest. The students were really curious, says Choquette, about how these women coped with a corporate environment and what. the negative and positive factors about their jobs were.

"It's unbelievable," says Bertha Richler, who took Choquette's course, "the impact the course had on us.

'There was so much intelligence," she says, "sitting there (in class) half-baked. But the course psyched us into believing that we could go into a man's job if we know the basics, that we need not be limited.

"It's strange to say," Richler adds, "but I don't feel so insecure in life. I don't have to be so scared. "

Several of the women, ranging in age from 35 to 45, who took "Demystifying

Executive- in-residence W. T.G. Hackett tries to bridge the gap between the university and the business world.

Hackett continued from page 1.

At 72, he's been arolind longer than most of his colleagues and has seen a lot of development in Canada's financial world. For instance Hackett remembers the creation of,Canada's first central bank, the Bank of Canada, in 1935.

"The Canadian money market and the instruments used in it developed in my lifetime," he says.

As a member of the business world Hackett acquired broad experience in governmental, central banking and financial circles in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is this kind of practical experience he tries to impart to his students.

As "executive-in-residence", Hackett will still be teaching two 2 1/2-hour sessions a week to students in the finance department, "though I've never kept the students that long, " he adds

/ with a grin. · Teaching from his own set of notes

which serve as an "ongoing text" and which he updates every year, Hackett tries to get his students to determine the principles involved in any given situation and have them apply the principles to real-life situations.

"What would you dp if you were finance minister?" is one question he throws at students. Together he and the students examine how they would proceed.

It is this practical experience, Hackett feels, that he can most sucessfully transmit to students.

"In terms of theory," he says, "I have no intention of competing with anyone in this department. We have some very good minds.

"What someone from the outside can . do," Hackett says, "is put some real­world flesh and blood on the con­ceptual bones," to make a course in business more meaningful. And this is what he intends to do.

Hackett is pleased with his ex­perience chairing the commerce and and administration consultative committee. "We have a lot of high­powered ·executive talent on the committee, but they're not all the same age or at the same stage of the executive process."

It's important, ~ys Hackett, to include on this committee younger business people, who are closer to the university from the point of view of age and experience.

There is a great danger, he says, that the university and the business community can eye each other uneasily. Anything that can be done to overcome that is all to the good, he stresses.

"If you can get 20 businessmen and faculty calling each other on a firs t­name basis, that's something!"

Even though Hackett is officially retired from banking, he still maintains an office in the Bank of Montreal , where he continues to spend most afternoons. The bank, he says, has been of invaluable help to him for his courses, providing him with material from its library and resource documents . he also relies on the ex­pertise of his former colleagues.

Teaching, says Hackett, helps one stay young. "I observed the trauma of retirement in other people," says Hackett. "People can shorten their lives by boring themselves to death . The stimulus of young minds forces you to keep up to date ." ·

Health plan • I

- . premiums • • increase

Effective May 1, premiums under the university's health insurance plan have been increased by the plan's underwriters, Confederation Life.

Employee contributions are increased from 70 cents to $1. 15 for single coverage and from $2.42 to $3.95 for dependent coverage.

According to Colin Waters of . Personnel Benefits, the increase is due principally to an increase in the semi-private hospital room rate, an increase in the fee for visits to physio­therapists and chiropracters and an increase in the cost of prescription drugs.

As the premiums of the plan are shared equally, the university premium has been increased by an equal amount.

Indian da·nce, sitar concerts

A weekend of Indian classical dance and music will be held May 12-13 to celebrate the -tenth anniversary of the

. Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute. The accomplished dancer Priyamvada

Sankar will perform classical south Indian dances at 8 p.m., May 12, in the D.B. Clarke Theatre in the Hall building.

The following evening, Rooshi Kumar Pandya, a Ph.D. student in Religion and Theological Studies, will play classical north Indian music on his sitar at 8 p.m. in room 937 of the Hall building. Pandya learned his techniques from such renowned sitar players as Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.

Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute Concordia University is a charter

member of the Shastri lndo-Canadian Institute which was established jointly ten years ago by the Canadian and Indian governments.

Named after the late Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahdur Shastri, the purpose of the institute is to further mutual understanding between India and Canada. Supported financially by the two governments, the Institute seeks to give Canadians an awareness of the riches of India past and present.

In Canada, twelve universities and the Nat\onal Library are cooperating in the advancement of Indian studies through the allocation of junior and senior fellowship and language training grants, the acquisition of Indian publications for university libraries and the operation of special educational projects.

The achievements of the Shastri Institute can be consider~ to be an unqualified success. Already, 107 Canadian scholars have received research and language grants, under Shastri sponsorship .

Eleven doctoral students have completed dissertations and received Ph.D.s, three of them from Indian universities.

The institute has sponsored the publjcation of over 190 books, articles, 'conference papers and film scripts. MS

Concordia, U. of~­exchange profs

Theoretical knowledge is all very well, says University of Toronto professor Nicole Maury, but there comes a time when you have to live in the milieu to gain first-hand knowledge of your subject.

A professor of applied linguistics in the French department of the University of · Toronto, Maury inaugurated, this year at Toronto, a half-course on French­Canadian French, which met with resounding success.

"There'"s· growing interest in French-Canadian French at the University of Toronto," she explains, "and now the university is doing something about it." It was the course which gave her the idea of an exchange with a professor from Concordia.

"Since the "Quebecois " language is quite distinct from Ontario French, she felt it would be worth her while to spend a year in Montreal, thus translating theory into practice.

Besides, adds Maury, going on an exchange seems the only way for tenured professors to move around these days, especially given the lack of jobs.

Students, too, says Maury, benefit from being able to experience different accents. Too often, she says, student of French emerge from university programs unable to understand colloquial speakers of the language who speak with a Bordeaux accent, a Quebecois tinge or anything different from the "good French" of their professors.

Concordia, to Maury, seemed like a good choice for an exchange. Since it's so much newer than Toronto, she says, "they probably do things a lot differently . I expect I'll learn a lot in the year I'll be spending here ."

Maury had a chance to tour the Concordia French department's audio-visual facilities when in Montreal

·last summer, and was very impressed b~ what she saw.

Reaction to the idea of an exchange, from both the Concordia and Toronto

Starting in the fall , Maury will be teaching a similar language and applied linguistics course at Concordia as she taught at the University of Toronto.

Her Concordia counterpart, Lila Van Toch, currently in Toronto on sabbatical from Loyola's French department, will remain in Toronto next year to teach a course on linguistics. French departments has been very favourable.

U of T French prof Nicole Maury is · spending a year at Concordia as part of an inter-university exchange.

In her "spare" time, she hopes to continue research she undertook this ye.;r at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education on modular teaching of "languages of specialization" -French for business, French for nurses, etc.

If the exchange is successful, and there's every indication it will be, this could be the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership between the University of Toronto and Concordia, on a more permanent basis . BS
