Capital campaign passes $22 million Work on concert hall to begin before summer

C apital Campaign offi­cials announced this week that the five-year

fund drive has passed the $22.4 million mark - approximately 900fo of the Campaign goal.

Canvassing for the Leader­ship Gifts Division (headed by Air Canada Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Claude I. Taylor) is nearly complete, and solicitations have just started for the Major Gifts Division (donations of $5,000 to-$25,000).

Board of Governors mem­ber A.H. (Mike) Michell, Vice­Chairman of The Royal Bank of Canada, officially kicked off the Major Gifts segment of the Campaign last Thursday in the Royal Bank's 41st Floor boardroom at P lace Ville Marie. ·

Those fighting words from . Concordia Board of Governors Chairman P. Andre Gervais set the tone for last week's discus­sion about Concordia under­funding at_ the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Gover­nors. ·

In a joint report submitted by Gervais and Rector Patrick

Kenniff, Concordia's senior administration told the gover­nors it is launching a three­pronged campaign to follow up on last month's encouraging, but inconclusive, meeting with Quebec Premier · Robert Bourassa on the funding issue.

' "Jfe are -,,ot going to back

down",_ Gervais

The " long-term plan of action" includes: · • the appointment of a full­time staff person at Concordia to work closely with the Minis­try of Higher Education and Science officials responsible

for drafting a permanent fund- · ing formula . .fOI Quebec univer~ sities; • the development of a com­prehensive public relations

. effort to develop increased public awareness of Con- . cordia'S position; and • a program of heightened political pressure involving contacts and exchanges at all · levels between government rep­resentatives and _members of the Concordia family.

Gervais said a staffer will be named "whose sole responsi­bility will be to establish a close, technical working rela­tionship with the committees and government officials

responsible for producing the . new funding formula."

Heightened awareness The · public relations cam­

paign will be incorporated into the activities of the Unive·rsity's recently-formed Communica­tions Strategy Committee, which reports to the Vice-Rec­tor Institutional R-elations and Finance.

Mail Services Manager Ken Corrigan hovers protectively over Concordia's latest purchase - its very own FAX (facsimile) machine. ·

If you absolutely have to understand how this machine works, go and chat with the Electrical Engineering department. If, on the other _hand, you can be satisfied with superficial magic, begin taking advantage of it immediately.

The machine looks like a photostat machine, but transmits documents, via telephone lines, from one fax machine to another, anywhere, within minutes (around town).

The firm's Concordia Direc­tor, Bob Wyeth, will be leaving the University at the erid of this month. Speaking at last week's Board of Governors meeting, Rector Patrick Kenniff praised Wyeth "for the superb, job he has done during his tenure at Concordia," and he thanked him for laying the groundwork for the permanent Advance­ment Office that will be created at Concordia to co-ordinate

develop communications cam­paigns and produce materials that (i) "underscore the inher­ent value of what Concordia has accomplished under the most trying of financial cir­cumstances," and (ii) "indicate the future value of what could be achieved if the University were to be funded on a more equitable and appropriate basis."

Kenniff told the governors that the public at large is "much more aware and much more sympathetic" as regards Concordia's funding difficul­ties - far more than it was prior to last fall's extended campaign for equitable treat­ment from the government.

"It has become a vital issue

for many people," he said, and Concordia must build on that heightened awareness and sup­port to achieve its long-term objectives.

Mezzanine renovations

In other business the gover­nors approved a joint CUSA (Concordia University Stu­dents Association) administra­tion agreement to transfer 810 square metres of Henry F. Hall building floor space to CUSA control in return for a cash sum of $673,000.

CUSA will eventually vacate its current space on the Hall building's 6th floor for space on the building's mezzanine.

The CUSA money has been held in trust for more than 14

years pending a decision on the construction of a downtown students' centre. Rather than buy a separte building, CUSA has now decided ,to house stu­dent offices and activities in renovated quarters in the Hall building.

The University administra­tion will continue to control the mezzanine space until such time as the downtown library building opens.

The governors also approved a request from the Graduate Students Association Council to increase GSA fees to $27 from $25 per student. The fee hike is the first in three years~ it is expected to raise annual GSA revenues by about $6,000.

What's new? The News is new Concordia Journalism head warns Gazette: 'Von't be worried, but don't be complacent either"

by Buzz Bourdon

T he jury's still out on Montreal's newest paper, the Daily News,

but Concordia Journalism department head Lindsay Cry­sler likes what he's seen of the bold and brassy daily since it hit the stands 10 days ago, with the help of a gaggle of Con­cordia journalism graduates.

"The nicest thing about it so far is that it looks nice and clean," Crysler said. "It's easy to read and it looks inviting."

He thinks the Pierre Pela­deau-owned tabloid will be good for Montreal. "It's better to have competing papers. When there are two, both of them are more alert."

·Features attention-grabbers · The Daily News features tra­

ditional tabloid attention-grab­bers such as big colour photos, screaming headlines and lots of sports and crime, but Crysler, a former managing editor of The Gazette who spent some 25 years working on various Canadian newspapers , feels it must focus on city news to make its mark. ·

' ' (So far) they're doing what they said they would with more people-oriented stories about · the city. That's good. The Gazette doesn't really do that

well, stories that give a feel to the city. They have to be differ­ent from The Gazette."

The Southam-owned Gaz­_ette has enjoyed a virtual monopoly in the English-lan­guage market since the Mont­real Star folded in 1979 after a long and bitter strike. Pela­deau, who also owns the Jour­nal de _Montreal, the province's largest circulation daily, raided several well-known names from The Gazette, including city col­umnist Nick Auf der Maur and sports columnist Tim Burke.

Other Daily News staffers include journalism graduates Gracie MacDonald, Catherine Grace, Armand Thomas, Mitchell Axelrad, Eloise Morin, Scott Howarth and Ron

· Charles. And some TTR freelancers will be surfacing on their pages, too.

Allophones considered A group often ignored by

Montreal's newspapers are the city's allophones, the people whose mother tongues are nei­ther English or French. Crysler thinks the Daily News will appeal to them and the people who don't read newspapers. "Some people are intimidated by The Gazette's size. Now you can spend 50 cents (on the Daily News) and feel content you've had a good read and

gotten your money's worth." How many papers will the

Daily News sell? Crysler thinks they'll settle down around 40,000, "then build gradually on that for the next year or so. There's probably a reading audience for a second English­language daily of about 50,000. Now it's a case of getting that and· convincing advertisers these are the type of people they want to talk to."

The Gazette shouldn't be worried about the new kid on the block, Crysler thinks, but it shouldn't be complacent. ''A lot of people there will sneer and not pay·attention, but they shouldn't underestimate them.

People laughed at the Journal de Montreal years ago. It hung on and now no one laughs."

Opinion on choice, Third-year journalism stu­

dent Charles Abramovici takes the Daily News seriously, too. He thinks it will last because Montreal's English community needs another paper. "People now have a choice. The compe­tition will promote better jour­nalism. If it keeps improving, if it can hit 70,000, then I think they'll start taking a bite from The Gazette's ad revenues."

Abramovici is impressed with the space the Daily News is giving to crime stories. "It's about time crime was covered

properly in this city. They tend to sensationalize, but that's OK. Sensationalism isn't neces­sarily irresponsible. It's just another way of packaging the product to sell."

Although the Daily News' packaging hasn't up to now included a traditional editorial page with thundering editori­als, Abramovici said he doesn't mind. "The soul of the paper is with the people it hires, not with an editorial page where you risk alienating some of your potential readers . A paper's job is to show, not tell. To show people what's happen­ing, to let them decide what to do, not tell them."

Edmonton-born artist Medrie MacPhee is the subject of the Concordia Art Gallery's upcoming exhibition, running from tomorrow (March 25) to April 30.

Now residing in New York, MacPhee's urban landscapes become a personal metaphor without reinventing the anonymity of her subjects.

A vernissage will be held for MacPhee and blind Quebec artist Gerard Garneau at the Concordia Art Gallery, 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W., tomorrow, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. For more information ca/1848-4750.

'The Japan-of the !90s?' Canadian small businesses encouraged to deal with China

by Carol Krenz

C hina presents a wealth of opportunities to Canadian entrepre­

neurs, especially those in small business. That, in a nutshell, is the message which Associate Professor Bakr Ibrahim clearly wants to send to the Canadian marketplace.

One of four Commerce and Administration faculty mem­bers participating in Phase One of Concordia's Canada-China Co-operative and Exchange program, Ibrahim, who directs the Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurial Studies, spent six weeks there last sum­mer researching small business. He managed to observe handi­crafts manufacture, including silk weaving, and agricultural businesses such as animal breeding and milk production. It was indeed a coup because up until that time the exchange program allowed for Canadi-

now for doing many things and could well be 1he Japan of the 1990s," explains Ibrahim. In a recent paper published in The Canadian Export Digest enti­tled "Window of opportunity for Canadian entrepreneurs," he illustrates three strategies for penetrating the Chinese mar­ket, stressing joint ventures, low costs, and technology transfers. China 'specializes' in small business and even con­siders 900 employees under one roof 'small! Product output, not the number of workers, is what differentiates between small and big.

Canadians liked more

During his six week visit, Ibrahim noted that the Chinese seemed to prefer Canadians to Americans. However, the Canadian Government does not really have strategies to contact businesses in China -

Concordians~ hoIDes 'home' to Vietnainese children by Ron Paquet

T wo Concordia Univer­sity employees are offering Vietnamese

refugees a new hope for a better life.

William Raso, Manager of Registrar's Services, recently sponsored 17-year-old Chinh Vu from Saigon following an appeal last spring by the Wes-t­mount Examiner seeking spon­sors for seven Vietnamese chil­dren.

"I wanted to share my life with someone because I was brought up to share," says the 37-year-old childless bachelor.

This is his second attempt at foster parenting. The, previous time, a Quebec youngster, didn't work out.

" I knew it would be differ­ent this time because these kids are very disciplined,'' says Raso. "The kids come to Cana­da to get ahead in life and I am willing to help someone who wants to make a go with his life."

The seven youths came to Canada as unaccompanied minors under the auspices of the Quebec government's unac­companied minors refugee pro­gram with the assistance of the local Church of the Advent and Terre des Hommes Canada, a non-profit organization for international cooperation.

Foster families screened Before the youths enter Can­

ada they must pass a medical examination and demonstrate that they are genuine refugees. In addition, each foster family is screened by Ville Marie Social Services to verify police and medical records and to ensure the parents can support the child. The foster parent

must also supply Ville Marie with references. A complete report is then sent to both levels of government for final approval.

The youths are flown to Canada at government expense. However, once the youngsters are capable of working they must reimburse the government for the plane trip from the Phjllipines where they had been sheltered in the Palawan refugee camp. The trip to Montreal costs between $500 and $1,000. Chinh left the Vietnamese capital of Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, by boat two years ago because there was no future for him under the communist regime.

"As a Roman Catholic I { cannot go past grade 9 and cl! there are no jobs," says Chinh. ~ Had Chinh stayed he would have been drafted into the army next year. His father was incar­cerated in a re~education camp and eventually killed during the Communist take-_over after U.S. troops left Saigon in 1975.

20-foot boat Chinh left his family behind

and sailed the South China Sea on a 20-foot boat with 49 other refugees. They spent three days bailing water because the boat was so overloaded with people. Finally they were rescued by a_ group of international doctors sailing international waters in search of refugees.

A few months later Chinh settled at the Palawan refuge camp awaiting a sponsor. Dur­ing his stay at the camp he received one hour of English instruction each day. He spent the rest of his time playing sports. However Chinh still has difficulties ~xpressing himself.

"Chinh is currently spend­ing five hours a day studying English in the Continuing Edu­cation program at Concordia University." said Raso. This fall he'll start grade 10 where among other things he will attempt to learn French.

Once Chinh is through high school Raso hopes he will attend university. "By law I am responsible for him until he's 18, but I'm ready to support him through university," said Raso.

A new friend in the family Another supportive parent

is Concordia University Reli­gion professor Sheila McDo­nough. The single mother of two provided a home to 15-year-old Hoang Huong Thei Hgoc last December. ·

"I saw these kids who were stuck in the Phillipines because

William Raso and Chinh

they couldn't leave without a sponsor,'' said McDonough. "Since I had an extra room in the house I thought it would be nice to have a new friend in the family."

McDonough's three-year experience as an English teach­er in Pakistan provides her with a knowledge of Third World culture and an interest in fos­tering multiculturism in Cana­da.

"I am interested in Canada as a multicultural environment which gives this country strength and togetherness. It's

also fitting for my children to know someone from another culture."

Learning Vietnamese Meanwhile McDonough is

learning some Vietnamese so she can communicate with Hoang. "The Vietnamese lan­guage has no double conso­nants on the end of the word. They only say the first part of the word. It's a tonal lan­guage."

Concordians rally to aid two refugees

I n January 1987 a Con­. cordia refugee commit­tee was formed to raise

money and sponsor refugees into Canada. Concordia University Chaplain Peter Cote, who is coordinator of the committee, says that more than $7,000 has been raised so far thro'1gh the Loyola chapel, fund-raising events and personal dona­tions. The money will be used to sponsor two Ethio­pians, Eden Tewolde and Tahir Ali Noor.

"Once the refugees arrive in Canada we will find them a place to live and assist

· them in getting a job,'' says Cote, who has been with Concordia since 1986. "We want to sponsor refugees who are interested in fur­thering their education," he

says. "Tuhir expressed an interest in engineering so it would be ideal if we could get the Engineering faculty involved in creating a schol­arship fund for him."

The refugee group was formed to sensitize and involve Concordia people

, with the refugee problem. It also offers support for the refugee cause by campaign­ing to the public and the news media.

If you want to help spon­sor a refugee by providing shelter or financial assist­ance you can call Peter Cote at 848-3586. T here will also

Mordechai Richler 'comes holl1e' by Gordon Ritchie

A s a teenager Mordecai Richler felt being a writer offered the good

life since Ernest Hemingway set his own hours, went fishing when he felt like it and was on a fi rst name basis with Ingrid Bergman and Marlene Die­trich.

For Richler, noted Canadian author and journalist, the first two perceptions were right and even the bad days (when a "blank piece of paper is hell") are less hard and filled with

niore satisfaction than any­thing experienced by his father, "a failed scrap dealer."

Richler was lecturing on "The Literary Life: On being a writer in Canada" at Con­cordia University last week before a very amused audience of about 400.

One thing the young Richler hadn't considered were peo­ple's antipathies toward writ­ers. Some demand to know, he said, "Why you did it, as if writing, like housebreaking or

pushing drugs, was somehow socially questionable."

Desired to be an intellectual Richler's interest in novels

was derailed early by his dis­dain for them (they were "romantic make-believe") and a desire to be an intellectual. This was a result of his being slightly short and pimply which caused the "girls in tight sweat­ers," his initial interest, to ignore him.

However, his attitude to novels was to change with one

STUDENTS TAKING P SOC I AL ASPECTS OF ENGINEERING COURSE ON FREE TRA DE, ' EVALUAT ED CANADIAN SECTORS' ABJL I TY TO BE WINN ERS OR LOSERS I N THE FREE TRADE AGREE MENT.

Today (March 24) the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement debate takes place at 5:30 p.m. in H-110, Henry F. Hall Bldg. Debators will include Hon. Barbara McDougall, Minister of State for Privatization (for), Hon. Steve Langdon, NDP Industry and Trade critic (against), and Hon. Warren Allmand, Liberal MP for N.D.G.-Lachine East (against).

Bernice Goldsmith, Co-ordinator, Social Aspects of Engineering, has conducted her own classroom debate complete with outside speakers for- and ag'!inst- on Free Trade's "Social Effects . .. on Technological Development, Innovation and Technology Transfer. ,, ·

Her Report Card (above) represents what one student group in the Concordia community thinks. It is also interesting to note that of 15 speakers - politicians, academics and industrial

representatives - nine were for Free Trade, five were against, andpne was "neither.,,

-

reading of Eric Maria Remar­que's All Quiet on the Western Front. At that time (1944) Rich­ler was wishing all Germans "an excruciating death" but as he read he found himself iden­tifying with the young German soldier. By the time he had finished, the power and danger of novels as well as the existence of a larger world beyond his now-famous St. Urbain St. had dawned on him. He began to devour novels, developing a desire for the life of London, New York and Paris. Attended Sir George Williams

Before he could make it overseas himself, Richler "endured" two years at Sir George Williams College.

"At the time it was a pathetic place, sort of a loser's finishing school. We were taught gram­mar by superannuated high school teachers and poetry by good-natured but inadequate ladies who blushed at the men­tion of Keats."

At the end of two years' study Richler was eligible to receive an A.A., or Associate in Arts degree but he never replied with the $5 fee to obtain it.

Since ' this inausp1c1ous beginning, Richler has been able to put together a fairly successful career as novelist, journalist and screenwriter, including the screenplay for two of his novels, The Appren­ticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Joshua Then and Now. Film writing vs novel writing

In Richler's experience there's a big difference between writing for film and writing a novel.

"The writer (of a novel) is in total control, either he per­forms well or he doesn't. But the writer on a film is really just another spoke in the wheel and a most replaceable spoke, too."

According to Richler, film is best suited to original screen­plays instead of adaptations. The adaptation for the film version of Jacob 'lwo-'lwo, which he didn't do, left him embarrassed.

As for other hazards of writing, namely critics, Richler quoted Graham Greene that, " 'as far as critics are concerned you were a young writer until you were 40 and thereafter a writer who had never fulfilled his early promise; but in this game he might have added, there's nothing like patience."

Today Richler no . longer questions why he does it. ''After all these years writing has become a habit ... I'm stuck with my original notion which.is to be an honest witness

to my time, my place and to write at least one novel that would last and may be remem­bered after my death. So I am compelled to .11:eep trying."

In the meantime there are the dubious satisfactions of being mistaken for Farley Mowat or the receipt of an invitation to be writer-in-resi­dence at an Australian univer­sity addressed to Ms. Mordecai Richler. (He wrote back saying he'd love to come but wouldn't know what to wear.)

Richler had been .invited to the University to deliver the Mary Ann Beckett-Baxter Mem9rial Lecture as part of the Fine Arts Borc~er Crossing series.
