However, as much of a gift to
the administration secretaries as
the motion may have been,. it
successfully trampled over the
wants and needs of the students.
Depending upon whose story
you believe, the fall break was
introduced in the early 1980s by
Professor Michael Horn (amongst
others) to allow students spare time
during the essay crunch in early
November. Due to the increase in
half-courses, there was need for a
reading week in the fall as well as
in the spring. Faculty Council
rescheduled the break by a week
in 1985, and in the same motion
re-affirmed its importance and
commended its past success.
In 1990~ CCAS proposed to
Senate a motion identical to the
one that just passed. This one.
however. allowed for a Glendon
fall reading week. based upon a
reading week came once again
before our Faculty Council. Then
Chair, Professor Anthony
Hopkins, asked the GCSU to
conduct a student referendum to
determine what the students
wanted done with the issue. The
students voted overwhelmingly in
favour of keeping the reading
week. Faculty Council respected
this decision and once again
reaffirmed the reading week's
necessity and purpose.
Now,
to
summarize ... Introduced
by
Faculty Council, reaffirmed once,
reaffirmed a second time by
CCAS, and reaffirmed a third and
final time by a student referendum;
recommendation from our Faculty
Council. 1-'he motion failed, and
so things were left unchanged.
In 1994, the issue of whether or
not to keep the Glendon fall
which was accepted by Faculty
Council as being the final word on
the matter. The GCSU presented
all of this information to the
Senate, only to be met
with,
and I
quote,
" ...even
CCAS
m ak e s
mistakes."
The
motion
did
not
explicitly
eliminate
the
fall
reading
week; it just
went
out
with the old
and did not
come in with
the new. The new sessional dates
are designed to make it easier for
inter-faculty courses and students
who take classes outside of their
disciplines.
CCAS assured
everyone that they only had the
students needs in mind when
creating the new system. Exactly
which student body they believed
themselves to be helping has yet
to
be
determined.
Another controversial point of
the CCAS motion was that it
proposed that the university no
longer recognize the Jewish High
floly I)ays with a cancellation of
classes. However, the powerful
Jewish faculty. members at the
Steeles campus were successful in
amending this little tidbit out of
the motion. Our own faculty,
however,
were
slightly less aweinspiring.
When the GCSU
proposed an amendment that would
allow for a fall
reading week at
Glendon, our own
professors (with
the
important
exceptions
of
Professor Lewin
and Professor
E.E. Mahant, the
latter of which
spoke in favour
of the amendment), did not
support us, did not oppose
us, or, for that matter, did not even
bother to abstain. They did not
even register their indiffer-ence.
The suspicion is that they were
reluctant because our own
principal was in favour of the
motion. Perhaps they were afraid
of crossing their boss'? 'The GCS1J
did, however, receive much
support and praise from the
Atkinson Faculty. This is curious
considering that the major
objection on the part of CCAS
towards a Glendon fall reading
week was that it was particularly
inconvenient for Atkinson
students taking courses at
Glendon, Whatever the case" while
we may have received support
from other facultits~ ours did not
find it in themselves to side with
their students.
The GCSU is currently in the
process of appealing the decision.

-edi torialSemaine de lecture: Une harmonisation
cofiteuse pour Glendon
Tout comme bien d'autres aGlendon, vous ne savez que
penser de cette histoire de semaine de lecture perdue.
J'admets apriori avoir reflechi longuement a ma reaction
: je reste perplexe. Apres tout, ce n'est pas si grave. II est
tellement difficile de faire concorder notre horaire lorsque
l'on veut s'inscrire a un cours au campus Keele
qu'harmoniser l'horaire trimestriel apparait comme une
benediction. Par contre, en ce qui conceme la nature de
Glelldon, eette tendallce au sein de la planification
universitaire voulant que nous ajustions tous nos pendules
ala meme heure est dr61emeIlt inquietante. Comme on dit
si bien en anglais,
bienpeurque ce ne soit que« the thin
edge of the wedge ».
Tout d'abord, Glendon disposait depuis 1980 d'une
semaine de lecture pour deux raisons: un, notre campus
dispense davantage de demi-cours et un repit d'une
senlaine avant Ie sprint trimestriel pe.rmettait aux etudiants
de mieux s'affranehir de leur charge de travaux et, deux,
notre plus petit nombre d'etudiants.es par classes permet
de mettre l'accent sur la recherche et les dissertations
plutot que les examens finaux. La semaine de lecture
s'averait done necessaire afin que tous puissent retirer Ie
maximum de leurs etudes. Retirer notre repit traditionnel
equivaut a obliger l'institution a faire comme tout Ie
mande, a s'harmoniser, bref, a compromettre sa vocation.
II n'y a rien de mal a faire des compromis. Apres tout, il
en va de l'avenir et de l'evolution du College et ce genre de
reajustement est tres souvent necessaire.
Cependant, un message vient d'etre lance au College:
veut, veut pas, Glendon doit devenir competitif. Glendon
a maintenant Ie devoir de faire valoir sa valeur marchande.
Avec l'eventualite d'une de-regularisation de l'education
postsecondaire, etre distinct par vocation ne suffit plus. A
York, comlne ailleurs en province, Glendon exaspere.
Dois-je VOllS rappeler que Ie type d'instruction que dispense
Glendon est onereux? Avec vous deja songe combien il en
coute de payer un professeur au un charge de cours pour
chaque trente etudiants au lieu de chaque deux ou trois
cents?
.
J'ai ecoute avec torpeur dimanche dernier un discours
du doyen de Ia Ivey School of Business de l'universite
Western, Lawrence G. Tapp, dans lequel il denonc;ait ces
institutions qui refusentobstinement d'augmenter leur
ratio prof.;.etudiant et qui ajoutent au fardeau du
financement de l'education postsecondaire. « Ces
universites seront incapables de se joindre a l'elite de
demain et sont vouees a disparaitre » affirmait-il, les
considerant comme la peste. Ineluctablement, son discours
avait pour cible les colleges tels que Ie notre. Voila
comment nous sommes perc;us. On exaspere. C'est moi qui
vous Ie dis.
Quant a savoir si toute cette harmonisation, cette
competition accrue, soit une bonne chose ou non, il n'en
revient C\u'a vous. Mais cette histoire de semaine de
lecture perdue est nlauvais presage. 11 est parfois difficile
de deceler les grandes tendances qui affectent les decisions
prises de la-haute Dans Ie cas present, Ie milieu universitaire
ontarien exerce une pression enorme sur notre
communaute et pousse Glendon vers une mutation que
l'on ne veut pas subir. S'il en etait autrement, v~ous ne
croyez pas que York et Ie monde entier pourrait bien s'en
foutre que l'on« seche» nos cours une semaine par anllee.
Exasperant non?

Glendon's Computer
Quandry

ransformed thl
tolicy of the To)
~eneral strike.
Molly Barber
Glendon's students may be having trouble using the services available
to them in our computer lab. A lack of advertising may be the culprit
in this unfortunate situation.
Some people just don't know
about the computer lab, others are
just too perplexed by the whole state
to be bothered with it. Before last
week the only thing I knew about the
computer lab was where it was (first
floor at the end of A wing). So, to
find out about services in the
computer lab, this first-year student
went "undercover".
The first thing I did was set up an
account, which, of course, cost $10.
Next, I logged onto the network and
tried to set up an e-mail account. It
was more complicated than I had
expected, but the steps were laid out
on the boards in the lab thanks to
another industrious rust-year student
who asked for instructions to be put
in plain view. After that it was easy
going.
However, there is a lot more to
the computers in the lab than e-mail.
The Internet is an entirely different
story.. There are many things to
consider when linking up to the
int.ernet. If you l)ave surfed the net
before please feel free to skip this
.
part.
My frrst attempt at "surfing the
net" was a dismal failure. lmanaged
to freeze my computer before even
leaving Glendon'shomepage. After
consulting the lab supervisor on
hand, my only option was to reboot.
So, I rebooted and tried again. The
second attempt at browsing the
internet was just as effective. After
that, I sought out help. The lab
supervisor showed me the basics of
how to navigate the net from the
tenninal in the adjoining office0This
supervisor was exceptional because
he gave a mini lesson on the technical
aspect of the Internet so that I would
understand what he was saying, and
then showed me where to point and
click to reach what I wanted to find.
It seems you have to pick a web
browser before you can browse the
webo Browsing is easy once you've
been shown how to.
So, despite the lack of mass
advertising for the computer lab,
there is help for the lost souls in the
world of computers.
All that is necessary is that yo Organizers sa:

York takes on Tory cuts carnival-style
TORONTO (CUP) -
Student leaders at York University
ansformed the campus into a circus to poke fun at the education
Iicy of the Tory governl~entand build momentum for an upcoming
eneral strike.
than Queen's Park," said organizer
Joel Harden.
Wayne Poirier, president" of
York' s s~udent council, says an
important part ofthe carnival wa'i to
draw students' attention to how both
their debt loads and corporate profits
are rising.
Pointing to a giant banner which
calculated the combined debt of
students at the carnival, $6 million,
Poirier said this debt is accompanied
by huge profits for the loans-holders,
the banks.
"A lot ofstudents who signed the
banner owe more than $20,000. At
the same time, banks in Canada
have been making record profits,"
he said.
"The philosophy that is coming
out of Queen's Park is that
everything is expendable - classes,
hospitals beds, universities," said
David McNally of the York
University Faculty Association.
"We're told to be realistic because
the numbers don't "lie. But while
most of us are being downsized, 52
senior officers ofcorporations made
in excess of $2 million and 6,600
profitable corporations paid not a
penny in taxes last year. Something
is fundamentally wrong with these
numbers," he said.
Brad Lavigne,
national
chairperson of the Canadian
Federation of Students, spoke at the
carnival to bring a message of
national solidarity to York students.
"This is a message of solidarity
from the other 355,000 members of
the federation who stand next to you
during this eutting and privatization
frenzy," he said.
Carnival .co-coordinator Lori
Galway says that this unique, clownstyle political action is a lead up to
two days ofaction taking place next
month, which includes a city-wide
general strike on Oct 25.
"On Oct. 25, when we shut down
the university, we're going to lose
the clown costumes. We're angry
and we're taking action."
Organizers say the c~ival, held and labour o~ganizers, the day

Young would only respond that
he has "no doubt that all money set
aside for creating jobs for young

The briefing note suggests that
$9 million be spent on current

an international program for
internships in Canadian companies
abroad, and $6 million on a program
that allows companies to hire
university students to bring them up

of youth programs, says that the $65

is sets up the preachy moral theme
the film, with Luthan having to
ean unlikely decision ofpriority
tween a cop and a criminal.
The action begins as Luthan is
framed and suspended from the
hospital after discovering too much
about the underground'research. The
action is only mildly chilling, and
Luthans adversaries are so obviously
incompetent that they seem to be
biding their time until they get
knocked off.
An interesting twist is Luthan's
arrest in the film, which must have
been a painful revisiUng of Grants
real life arrest. One wonders what
girlfriend/producerElizabeth Hurley
was thinking while watching the
filming of this scene.
The supporting cast is strong and
somewhat realistic looking,
including Sarah Jessica Parker as a
nurse, and a cameo by David
Cronenberg. But as in most films,
the homeless people look much too
healthy. and the plot is marred by a
gaping hole thatgives no explanation
of the funding of the illegal
underground research facility, which
in reality would cost millions of
dollars.
For Grant fans, the movie may be
worthwhile, but otherwise, this
thriller is nowhere near thrilling,
and the conclusion is lamer than can
be believed, with Grantpreaching to

Riding The Third Rail: an annual art explosion
Daniel Pare
The Third Rail is an annual festival of local artists that takes place
in the King and Dufferin area in west end Toronto.
()ver tlie weekend of September
28th and 29th, a group of over 70
artists opened up their studios and
various spaces, mostly scattered
around the warehouses of this
district, transforming t.hem into
cultural funhouses with something
for every taste.
Events/
Evenements
As well as providing an
opportunity to see a wide variety of
artwork, the nature of the festival
provides a rare opportunity to check
out the artists' creative territories.
As we went from studio to studio,
we soon realized that each artist's
space added to the pict.ure by telling
us more about the creator behind the
mat.erial adorning the walls. Each
studio is, in a sense, an extension of
the person's work: lighting,
furniture, Inusic, a~sorted creature
comforts and even the people who
hung around. And in the middle of
all this, of course, was the artist.
available to meet and talk to.
Gideon Tomaschoff, whose
paintings
are
sometimes
interpretations from his -travels,
talked abouthow important festivals
like this are t.o get people into their
studios since, during the rest of the
year, the warehouse is largely empty
of visitors. Most people don't
realize that all these crafts people
are here, working in this
neighbourhood.
rrwo striking canvases hung
in the hall and, stretching ahnost
from floor to ceiling, drew us into
Stephen Ibbott' s studio. These two
and his other paintings depicted
urban symbols, such as hydro poles,
street. signs and fife escapes, in a
way that made the paintings look
abstract. After a few moments,
however, we realized what. we were
really looking at. A graduate of
Concordia University, Mr. Ibbott.
. appreciates comments from both
"experts" in the field and non-artist
types like myself. What does annoy
him, though, is when people ask for
certain colors in his paintings to be
changed to match their living rooms
or, when people offer to buy what
they think are paintings but. are
actually the palettes which he has
"The Insecticycle"
left lying around. Nowadays, he
displays his paintings along the
floor, against the wall, and waits to
see whether anyone will make him
an offer.

think I'm seeing" category, few
people could surpass the off-beat

Many moons ago, they were an acoustic sister duo with a traditional
folk}T vibe, but in the present tense New York's 22 Brides is a pluggedin atmospheric band with four members and a sound that shares fewer
elements with Joni Mitchell and more with (The) Pretenders' nucleus
. Chrissie Hynde. While preserving the strength of the rich harmonies
perfected in their historical days of laid-back plucking, 22 Brides now
has an edgy crunch coupled with emotionally articulate story-telling
endorsed by acoustic amazon Ani Difranco.
Another year is upon us and
everyone. hopefully, well adjusted
to tlleir classes. 1'he GFS S would
like to take this opportunity to
welconlc all the new students to
'lendon as well as all returning
students. We would also like to
introduce ourselves to the Glendon
faculty and students. the GFSS, or
the Glendon Federation of SouthAsian Students, is one ofthe smallest
organizations on campus and yet we
ride ourselves as being one of the
ost active. This year's GFSS
executive is comprised of Nina
ahbub (President), Sadaf Saleem
(Vice-President), Waqas Sheikh
(Social Convenor), and Danyah
adir (Secretary).
Our objective is to enrich and
dueate all interested students and
faculty about t.he Sout.h-Asian
culture. By the tenn South~Asian,
we are referring not .only to the
any diverse regions of tbe Indian
sub-continent, butalso to the various
countlies around the \vorld which
share the commonality of tracing
their roots back to the Indian subcontinent. As one can see, the OFSS
epresenls a very large cross section
of both Glendon's and the world's
opulation. rrherefore. \ve would
like to invite all the members of the
Jlendon community to attend our
eetings.
One of the first events we will be
taking part in is the ·'Clash of th
Titans" sports tournament. This i
an annual event held by th
University of Waterloo, wher
universities from Ontario, Quebe
and New York are invit.ed t
participate. Last year Glendon w
unable to send up a team under i
own banner and, as a result, we wer
forced to play in afftliation wi
York University. This year quit th
opposite is true. Glendon is sendin
up a variety of teams (for differen
sports) as an independent entity.
However, students from our siste
club, the VIS (united India
Students) from York University ar
invited to accompany us. Th
tournament will be held on Sunday
October 13 and we encourage all th
support we can receive.
lJpcoming events for the GFSS
include monthly bake sales, a pu
night, the University of Weste
Ontario Dance Competition, as weI
as other events in affiliation wi
other universities. If you would lik

he wants to see university sports get
national coverage.
Dave Beeforth, CTV's vicepresident of· sports programming,
says the new network will mean
lllore coverage for sports not usually

"~1aybe we' 11 show the Canadian

Whether or not you're a first-year
student who doesn't have a clue of
what our athletics facilities have to
offer, or a returning Glendonite who
hasn't taken those dusty sneakers
out of your closet this fall, here is a
glimpse of what you might be
missing:
-top of the line equipment windracers, stainnasters, treadmills,
universal machines, free weights,
and the list goes on. Hey, if it's good
enough for theRaptors, it' ~
Jd
enough for us!
-a friendly, helpful staff to show
you how to use the machines, plus
terrific aerobic instructors who will
patiently demonstrate all the moves
you need to know (proof: I went into
my first aerobics class an uncoordinatedclod, and came outa master
of the steps!)
-a huge variety of facilities to
choose from: a s'V'linlming pool,
squash courts, a gymnasium,
fitness studio, an indoorgolfdrivi :
range, a weight room, ...etc.
-the best part of all: it's FREE
(Well, not entirely - you do have
pay a $10.00 deposit which
refunded at the end of the sch .
year. I bet that caught your eye,
though, didn't it?)
...- - - The athletics centre is open fron
6:30 a.m. to ll:OO p.m. Monday
Friday, and weekend hours are 8:0
to 7:00p.m. Since you're at Glenda
anyway for class during the week
