Psychologists to quell fear of spiders* On ABC

Terrified of spiders? Janet Ashdown was. Now she's just

scared thanks to a psychological flooding session in a Sir George TV studio.

"I can't say that I love spiders now," said Janet, who was completely exhausted after the session. "But it's not nearly so bad as it was." · Concordia psychology Prof. Ann Suth­erland, who will show the videotape on ABC's Good Morning America tomorrow morning, said Janet could dominate her fear with four more sessions.

Prof. Sutherland said the flooding technique involved a gradual but direct

. exposure of the phobic to the phobia. Not only was it a victory for Janet and

Concordia psychology, the university's Audio Visual department gets full marks too.

"This shows that our new color · equipment is up to top broadcast standards, good enough to be shown coast to coast in the United States," said AV director Ben Queenan.

Prof. Sutherland, part of the New·Clinic of Behavior Therapy and Research, 5485 Sherbrooke Street W. (where Concordia psychologists train), is to be interviewed on the flooding technique on the ABC morning show.

To illustrate her talk, Prof. Sutherland performed a therapeutic flooding session before A V's new color cameras with the Clinic's administrator Janet, who is frightened of spiders.

Other than the presence of a spider crawling in an ashtray, the session looked much the same as the usual talkshow interview.

At first Janet was frightened by the very thought of a spider in the studio. There were a couple of cries of revulsion

when it was placed in the ashtray. Janet squashed herself up into the far

corner of her chair as Prof. Sutherland and her assistant Morrie Golden, a doctoral student, tried to c~lm her.

At times she broke into tears, but these were stopped by what appeared to be a feeling of giddy adventure.

"That's better," said Prof. Sutherland, after a half hour had elapsed. "You see, you aren't that frightened now."

The gradual exposure continued to the point when Janet started to prod the spider in the ashtray with a long piece of

Code coming After three open meetings - which

only ·the campus press corps attended -the Concordia Commission on Rights and Responsibilities said they would draft a final report within ten days.

Chairman Michael Sheldon, executive assistant to the Rector, said that after the final outline of the code of rights and responsibilities was drafted it would be sent to the university press and moved to the Board of Governors for approval.

"There has been a considerable lack of interest in this matter," Mr. Sheldon told an impromptu press conference after the open meeting ended.

He said he hoped to have code administrators, one for each campus on a part-time basis, by next September. Before that he hoped to get the administrative difficulties of the ombuds­man's office ironed out before the end of this academic year.

FOR THERECORD:

Re-evaluation rules elude Senate The :question of how students' · work

should be re-evaluated once again-boggled Concordia Senate.

After three hours of debate and three straw votes, Senate asked for a new report in accordance with its wishes to be drawn up by the steering committee.

Its wishes must be discerned from the straw votes , which showed tentative

· accord on aspects of suggestions put before Senate.

Senate agreed ·(26-4) that there should be a university-wide system of appeal for the re-evaluation of students' marks.

Senate unanimously agreed that before any appeal procedure, students must be advised to see the professor concerned.

But Senate disagreed (12-16) that all cases of appeal should go to an evaluator.

Based on this, the steering committee must attempt to come up with a politically acceptable solution before Senate's meet-ing Oct. 21. ·

The voting came after nearly three hours of debate in which faculty disputed with faculty and student with student.

Before them were two proposals, which grew to four and five proposals, made up informally on the Senate floor.

Up till now, Concordia has been operating under the regulations of the Loyola and Sir George campuses, which were never applicable on a university­wide basis.

At first assistant deans Eileeh Preston and Brian Slack came up with an 18-point plan of academic reform, in which they attempted to combine the two sets of academic regulations.

This was countered by a seven-point plan by the Loyola Students' Association, which advocated more student input than the first proposal.

1

· The issues have been access to documents (term papers and exams) and the power students would have in the re-evaluation process.

Neither students nor faculty formed blocks with student senator David Glad­stone supporting professor power in some cases and Prof. Sean McEvenue support­ing student power in others.

In this issue, a central point was the competence to judge a student (and by implication, a professor) o( those in the appeal system.

Gladstone, the student, said he had come to university with the expectation that professors were his academic superi- . ors and he did not feel students were competent to judge academic work.

Prof McEvenue pointed to the other side of the coin, saying that when a chairman is asked to judge, the bias is in favor of the professor, his colleague.

Prof. Daviq Frost said that the student was in the same position. "If he decides against a student, he may be sent to Coventry by his fellows," he said.

Prof. Harvey Shulm_an objected to students being involved in the academic re-evaluation.

"I have no objection to students being involved · in the appeals procedures, to insure that the procedure of appeal is being applied fairly and correctly," he said. "But academic re-evaluation is the respopsibility of faculty."

The LSA proposal stressed student . rights to appeal and access to the full

appeal process. The Preston-Slack proposal stressed

LETTERS:

the need to cut dowri the number of appeals, which glut the offices of depart­ments every year.

There was disagreement on how serious the problem of frivolous appeals was. On further examination, some departments were harder hit than others.

That raised a proposal of a multi-appeal system, in which each faculty and or department could go its own way. But the bulk of Senate appeared to want a university-wide system.

With debate ranging over several points, Father Russell Breen, Vice Rector , for Arts and Science, suggested narrow­ing down the issues to a vote to help focus the fast-diffusing debate.

Straw votes were taken and Senate decided to refer the issue for a new report to the steering committee.

Press · Club award; debating society In the Thursday Report of September

29, an article on the Women's Press Club scholarship included a number of errors. Besides misquoting David Oancia concern­ing the criteria for the award, several other inclusions were inaccurate. I was quoted as saying that I had problems getting a job and was only in Hay River for 2 months. In fact, I had no trouble getting the job, and was there for 3 months.

The killer was calling "The Hub" the wildly inappropriate name for the paper in Hay River. Since Hay River has for about fifty years been called "The · Hub of the North", I wonder on what basis the writer considers the name wildly inappropriate.

Much as I appreciate your interest, I would hope· for a more accurate account from an information office of a university. Rick Gill

The · remark you attributed to me in your news item on the first award of The Canadian Women's Press Club, Montreal Branch; Scholarship is both imaginative and gratuitous. I should be grateful, therefore, if you could publish my comments. It casts a slur on the other applicants and students in the program.

What I did tell your reporter was: 1. That the deliberations of the

Scholarship' Committee were confidential.

2. That Mr. Gill was chosen, after deliberation by a group of professionals under my chairmanship, on the basis of a demonstrated aptitude for and interest in science writing.

I made no further comment. David Oancia Director, Journalism Program Ed. Note: We concede and regret the error of stating incorrectly that Gill was empl.oyed by The Hub, Hay River, N. W. T., for two months when it was in fact three months. The description of the· Hub was simply a pl.ay on the cliche "hub of the universe", with no malicious intent. Otherwise we stand by the veracity of the original story. ·

The Debating Society is back at Sir George Williams: had it ever left? Not really, but for the past few years interest in the art of formal debating has. declined. We at the Debating Society feel this trend has come to an end and are proud to announce that the newly re-organized Sir George Williams Debating Society is now ready to once again become a major activity.

In the past few years the old Debating Club had run into some organizational problems. Under the new presidency of Peter McArthur these difficulties have

== ,HE IHURSDAYREPORT budget.

It is the support that we have received from our membership that has convinced us that students are reviving their interest in debating. They are realizing the importance of knowing how to argue a point as a means of improving their speaking ability. This skill is a necessity for Commerce students who must learn to make presentations, Political Science students who must discuss important issues rationally and all other students who need to be able to express themselves effectively.

The year has hardly begun and already the Debating Society is prepared with activities for the coming terms. An important function of the Society is to represent Concordia at the many inter- ~ scholastic debates held across the country. ~ We are members of C.U.S.I.D. which runs ~ all North American University debates and T.A.U.S.A. the international debating 6 society. Throughout the next nine months """ Universities across the country will be Gordon Kelly, l,eft, and Don Cl,ark /

holding debates which we hope to attend. The international debate, held last year at McGill will this time take place in London England. In addition to these major debates the Debating Society is involved in the setting up of a series of mini-debate tournaments to be held with Universities within a one hundred mile radius of Montreal. This would include such schools as Queen's and Bishop's University in

Lennoxville. The first major tournament is coming

up this month on October 20th at the University of Toronto. In preparation for this event we are now forming our teams. The students of Concordia are being given a chance to join us there. We have scheduled an intramural debating tourna­ment for October 15th. Interested stu­dents will be formed into two-person debating teams; these will compete against each other; the winner be,ing sent to Toronto. No previous debating experi­ence is needed for this and it will be a lot of fun. If you are interested in debating, our meetings are every Friday from 2-4 pm in room H-635 of the Hall Building.

At first she couldn't do it. Janet shrieked and recoiled, dropping the paper. The process w'as repeated until she managed to prod the spider.

With the help of Mr. Golden, she eventually performed the next exercise, punctuated with the odd shriek. Slowly, but surely, ·Janet edged her hand to the rim of the ashtray where the spider scurried around. ·

That done, the last exercise was to let Janet hold a glass in which the spider was

Yes, Steinberg is on our side. Or so Communication Studies prof Don Clark discovered when the supermarket chain agreed to donate two "electrovoice 635" microphones valued at $150 each to the Communication Studies Dept.

How did Clark pull it off? To begin with, he's not inexperienced: last spring, he persuaded Listen Audio to donate several thousand doIJars' worth of equipment to the department. The key to the operation is simple. Each spring, communication studies graduates find jobs in communica­tion-related fields. Many of these grad­uates keep in touch with their professors and are in a position to put in a good word when they discover that the department has a ,need.

Such was the case with Steinberg's. When graduates Daniel Clement and Bob Attala heard that Communication Studies had three production booths and only one microphone, they put Cl~rk in touch with

contained. The top of the glass was sealed with plastic wrap and gingerly, almost dropping it at times, Janet held the glass aloft.

The _operation was about as tricky for the TV men as it was for Janet. It's not every day that they get a chance to produce something for telecast across the U.S.

Add to that the problem of shooting something as tiny as a spider in an ashtray and catching Janet's jack-in-the-box move­ments when she recoiled in revulsion.

their boss, Gordon KelJy, Director of Communication Services for Steinberg and, himself, a Loyola graduate. The result, after some discussion, was Stein­berg's gift of the two microphones.

The microphones will, says Clark, "serve 100 sound students and will treble the department's sound production capa­bilities." He figures that he has paid his salary back to the university in capital acquisitions for the department and he's not through yet. He has his eye on some equipment from a local radio station. If his past record is any indication, he'll get it!

A&S Council Meets The Council of the Faculty of Arts

and Science will meet Friday, October 7 at 1:30 p.m. in AD-128, ·Loyola . · campus.

Calling the shots was Paul Vinet. He strode about the control booth giving orders to the crewmen Roger Tyrell, David Higgs, Gabby Vadnay and his brother Pete Vinet.

To the layman, the atmosphere of controlled tension was the same as any professional studio.

More than an hour of tape was later cut to three minutes. Given the quality of the material coming up on the control booth screens, you should try to catch the show tomorrow morning. '

Student samples campus pubs One of the advantages of being· a

student at Concordia is the access to the pubs, one per campus, that make life just a

_ little more civilized. Last Friday night, though damp and chilly, both campus,pubs were in full swing.

Reggie's is Sir George's pub, only in its sophomore year. Carved out of a corner of the cafeteria, it still manages to seat 165 on those wooden chairs with the curved backs that are staples in "real world" brasseries and taverns.

The smoked-glass doors and stuccoed walls provide an eclectic decor, pseudo­pub style. The soundproofing tiles on the ceiling are painted bright orange. Light­ing is sparse.

The bar is small and stocked with the staples (read: beer) . A few mixed drinks are available, as are the various liquors that comprise them, all at prices that would make Crescent Street entrepren­eurs pull their hair out of their neatly­coiffed heads. The most exotic drink served at present. is the Tequila Sunrise. Reggie's version was a little heavy with the grenadine, but otherwise good.

Tony Dias, who has managed Reggie's since its opening, told of plans to start serving sangria in the near future.

Because of the large evening student clientele, Thursday is the peak night, he said. Fridays and Saturdays are busy, but

not as crowded as Thursday, when there is often a long line to get in.

Disco Night is a popular feature of Reggie's, though the near-empty dance lfloors give little indication that this iis so. The disc jockey works in a small glass-fronted booth, limiting his choice of music to time-tested dancing songs, and occasionally people take him up on the dare of his music. "

Beer is the best-seller at Reggie's, topping other drinks 3 to 1. This is a drastic drop from last year, however, when it outsold any other brew 4 to 1. A few liqueurs have been added, and more will be supplied as the demand increases.

Reggie's has plans for expansion as soon as the funds are available. The bar will be enlarged, and manager Dias is thinking of putting bar stools around its perimeter.

What Reggie 's lacks in creature com­forts it makes up for in its ambiance. There is a casual atmosphere, welcome to those who feel getting dressed up is an act of self-oppression. The crowd was nearly all ·students, with a few professorial types intermingled.

Sir George students can bring one guest apiece to Reggie's. Like most clubs, admission is restricted to the select few who have the requirements; in this case, student or staff identification cards.

Contrast the utilitarian atmosphere of

Medical students to centre ~"""' ¾',:,jo>

"MEDICAL CHECK-UP: Loyola Hea/,th Service were the· object of interes and curiosity last Thursday when a group of four Universite de Montreal, medical, students spent the afternoon discussing campus hea/,th centres with coordinator Nancy Cullen [left I assisted by Dr. Louise Poulin de Courva/, [second from _right], famil.i.ar with Loyola Hea/,th Services through her work there several, years ago.

Reggie's to Loyola's Student Centre and you may be in for a shock. Instead of small round tables and wooden chairs, you will find foam chairs reminiscent of bucket seats and conversation pits arranged around the low-ceilinged room. The effect is contemporary now, probably conceived as futuristic when it opened. There is no waiter service, forcing you to leave the cushioned security of your chair for that long trek to the bar.

Interestingly enough, there is little disco music played at Loyola apart from disco nights. Instead the Fleetwood Mac­Steve Miller genre floats from the speak­ers. Again, there is no dancing, but there is no dance floor on the upper level. The Quiet Bar, on the other side of the bar, has more traditional tables and chairs. The atmos­phere there is conducive for those who want nothing to interfere with their con­versation, and the people there seemed older than those _ in •the outside lounge.

Service in both places is provided by students from the -respective campuses. As Tony Dias explained, "We wouldn't hire a student from Loyola, and they wouldn't hire one from Sir George."

The lack of reciprocity extends to admission. Cross-campus pubcrawling is inhibited by the fact that in order to gain admission to the other campus pub, one must be a guest of a student of that campus. Security checks are tighter this year than in the past.

This policy may seem restrictive, but the rationalization is that Loyola students pay more student fees than Sir George students do, and in order to iron out this inequity, others must be tackled first.

Moscow Circus delights Loyola "No show like it anywhere!" reads the

publicity flier for the Moscow Circus and after having sat through their mini-show at Loyola last week, I believe it.

There is something I ought to explain. I hadn't been to a circus since my early teens and, to be quite frank, the three-ring circus had bored me. So you can understand my Jack of enthusiasm when it was suggested that I drop by the Athletics Complex to watch the circus. But the moment I entered the gym and took my seat next to an excited group from the Liaison Office, my attitude changed. Either I'm aging backwards and have finally reached a respectable circus-loving age, or the Moscow Circus is different because I sat with my eyes riveted to each of the four performers and loved every minute of the too brief show.

Any description I could give of the agility of the trained dog, the incredible coordination of the juggler and· the hilarious antics of the clowns would not do justice to their talent and artistry (There was also to have been a trained bear, but he fell asleep as a result of a sugar cube overdose at an earlier show at the Russian consulate!)

These men and women of the circus are professionals in every sense of the word. They train at the world's only circus institute in Moscow and perform with the government operated circus for no more

than twenty years after which they retire on a pension. To them the circus is neither a hobby nor a sport but a serious career.

Before the performance began, the audience was able to ask questions of the circus members. A strongman, a group of acrobats and a group of horsemen, each

with an interpreter, were stationed across the gym and were soon surrounded by curious Concordians.

"How old were you when you started?", "Do you use steroids?", "Is it hard to get into the circus?", "What is your training schedule like?", "What sort of food do you eat?" were a few of the questions fired at Valery, the strongman ("twists barbells as if they were batons" reads the publicity).

Through Tanya, his able interpreter, Valery replied that he started at 17 and went to a special circus school for four years. No, he didn't take steroids; he had no need to set records. He lifts weights daily and maintains a very high protein diet.

My favourite was a group which included a number of acrobats and trapeze artists as well as a few circus teachers and officials. Separated from a group with an interpreter, they decided to make do with sign language, broken Spanish, broken English and a French English German Russian phrasebook belonging to Yassa, a delightful young trapeze artist who informed us that her late husband had been a clown with the circus and had been one of the greatest mime artists' in the world .

Previous commitments prevented me from seeing the complete Moscow Circus at the Forum this year but when it next comes to Montreal , I'll be there . And I'll be filled with the same wonder and excitement displayed by the children of all ages - preschoolers, faculty , students and administrators - present at Loyola's Athletics Complex last Friday.

FARE WARNING:

Dan Hoffman's set for the Three Cucko'-ds

Theatre season opens October 18 The theatre section 'of the Fine Arts faculty has

announced its schedule of productions for the year and it sounds like it will be an exciting season for university theatre buffs.

The sixteenth century Italian comedy The Three Cucko'-ds opens the season on October 18. Directed by guest director Perry Schneiderman of the National Theatre School with sets designed by Concordia's Dan Hoffman, The Three Cucko'-ds will be presented at the Hall Building D.B. Clarke Theatre October 18 through 22 at 8 pm.

Tickets, at $2 ($1 for students and senior citizens) can be reserved or picked up· after October 11 from one of two ticket outlets. The Hall Building Information Desk (879-2852) will sell tickets between 9 am and 1 pm and again between 6 pm and 10 pm. The theatre box office (879-4341), will sell tickets between 1 pm and 6 pm. Between October 18 and 22, hours will change as follows: Information Desk - 9 am to 1 pm. Box Office - 1 pm to 9:30 pm.

In true commedia dell'arte tradition, The Three Cucko'-ds is the tale of three young wives who deceive their elderly husbands. Then there is Arlecchino. He runs after each of the wives and, when rebuffed, foils their love affairs by revealing all to the cuckolded husbands.

Because commedia de!Farte was usually a collective creation subject to modification with each production, The Three Cucko'-ds has no playwright. If there was one person

who was originally responsible for the play's concept, his name was forgotten long ago.

Director Perry ScQneiderman is well known to Montreal theatre-goers for his work with the Dome Theatre, Dawson College's professional theatre program. His directing credits include critically acclaimed productions of Servant of Two Masters and Muitary Lovers at the Dome and The Red Shoes at the Saidye Bronfman Centre Theatre. Schneider­man is currently a member of the faculty of the National

. Theatre School where he teaches improvisation, masks and commedia dell'arte.

David Rabe's In The Boom Boom Room will follow The Three Cucko'-ds. The play, by author of Streamers and Sticks and Bones, will be presented at Loyola's Chameleon Theatre from November 29 through December 3 and will be directed by director of performing arts Joe Cazalet.

Ralph Allison will direct Performance in Mime at the Chameleon Theatre between February 7 and 11 and George Etherege's Man of Mode or Sir Fopling Flutter will be presented at the D.B. Clarke from February 14 to 18. It will be directed by Gerry Gross.

The season will close with an as yet unnamed musical which will be presented between April 4 and 9, probably at the D.B. Clarke.

Curtain time for all performances is 8 pm and ticket prices are $2, $1 for students and senior citizens.
