Nemo the Magician and his sidekick Melvin Rabbit performed on November 4 for the benefit of those contributing to the Red Cross blood drive on the Hall. building mezzanine. Nemo, whose last name is Turner, will perform for the Loyola students sometime in the spring. A part-time graduate student in Educational Technology, Nemo is a full-time magician who has performed in Las Vegas and elsewhere.

Senate

Libra,ry project reported on schedule

Concordia's $20-million dollar library project is "roughly on schedule", Administration and Finance Vice-Rector Graham Martin told Senate last Friday.

"We're now considering possible architects," he added, "and are looking at 1984 as the projected date of completion."

Martin hoped the project would be examined by the Quebec Treasury Board by early spring, but couldn't predict what effect a cabinet shuffle br an election would have on government support. The university plans to finance the expansion with private donations and government funding. He did say that additional delays from Quebec.City might force the university to try to push ahead on its own.

The library expansion, which has been on the drawing board for more than a decade, now calls for a 450,000-square-foot building downtown and a doubling in size of Loyola's Vanier Library. The Sir George building will incorporate library facilities now housed in the Norris, Hall and Shuchat buildings and will include 250,000 square feet of non-library space.

"We propose to give up the Norris building as part of this scheme, so departments now in the Norris, additional classrooms and perhaps the Commerce facu lty will move into the new building," Martin said.

The downtown building will also include , increased parking space for the Sir George

campus and underground passages to the Metro and to the Hall Building.

Martin was also confident that the university could satisfy .any preservation requirements the Ministry of Cultural Affairs might set for the Royal George Apartments, which forms part of the downtown building site.

To all spring, 1981 Bachelor's degree and certificate candidates

By Michael Sotiron About 180 high school history teachers

attended an all-day Histoire Nationale workshop organized by the Centre for the Study of Anglophone Quebec on October 31 at the Loyola campus. Prof. Graeme Decarie, one of the organizers, was pleased and "astonished" at the large turn-out. "Even at an all-Quebec teacher's convention, I've never seen more than 30 to 40 teachers turn out for a Quebec history workshop," he said.

The aim of the workshop was to provide practical information on up-to-date sources, audiovisual material and teaching methods for teaching Quebec history in anglophone high schools. Although the materials were organized according to the curriculum content of the future Histoire Nationale program, slated to be introduced in 1983,

according to another organizer, History prof. Ronald Rudin, the workshop also was useful for teaching the current History 412 program, where exams have increasingly become oriente toward Quebec rather than Canadian history.

"For most of those attending," he said, " it was the first real exposure to the

· upcoming Histoire Nationale curriculum, and the first time they've given, the curriculum any consideration. I think they realize that they need the lead time in order to get organized to teach the course. The workshop made them understand the problems they're going to face." · The Thursday Report interviewed several participants about the workshop; they were enthusia~tic. Patricia Peter of Chomedey's Billings High School found the workshop See "Teachers" page 2.

If you are an undergraduate student and will have completed the requirement for your Bachelor's Degree or Certificate program by the end of­the fall or winter sessions (that is, by December or April) it is MANDATORY that you submit a spriRg 1981 degree or certificate application (whichever is appropriate to your program) in order to be considered•for your degree or certificate next spring.

The DEADLINE for the submission of these applications is JANUARY 15, 1981. THIS DEADLINE WILL NOT BE EXTENDED.

"very useful, especially the complete bibliographies that were presented." - "When we teach the course it'll be valuable to have the complete information at our fingertips," she said.

Laura De Rosa of St. George's School founq the experience "enriching". Since it's her first year of teaching, she found the workshop material particularly pertinent.

Michel Binette of St. George's School thought it was a "good occasion to meet other teachers and to refresh my teaching methods." He found the use of slides and other audiovisual methods useful.

And for Peter Burman of Chomedey High School, "the day ended too soon. The workshop was organized very well, and it aided me in selecting what materials to use."

Most of the other comments collected from an evaluation questionnaire filled out by the participating teachers w re positive, reports Rudin. Indeed, many expressed a · reed for a follow-up workshop, a request that Rudin, Decarie. and the third organizer, Claudette Cardinal, are seriously considering.

The workshop itself was organized into three parts. The morning session had two .modules: one had Rudin offering a bibliography on Quebec history in English and the other had Brendan O'Donnell of Bishop's University presenting a more

specific bibliography on Quebec anglophone history.

After lunch, the participants had two more presentations. Decarie talked about the practicalities and impracticalities of teaching history. He gave some practical tips on how to get the students to pass the all important government examination. Then he recommended a way in which to get their students to think about and analyze history rather than merely learning it by rote and memorizing useless facts.

Following Decarie, Ray Baillie and Paul Goodman of Pierrefonds Comprehensive H.S. presented a slide show offering ideas and techniques designed to stimulate students to appreciate history in Quebec.

13 ·X11¾!S i t•l: I =1 ;)J3 ·t-J U. of Manitoba to increase hiring of women

The University_ of Manitoba senate has taken steps to end male.domination of administrative and faculty positions. New regulations will require committees which appoint deans, directors and department heads to have at least one member of both sexes. While the university will continue to look for the best qualified person for academic positions, it will use preferential hiring to bring the sex ratio of a faculty up to the sex ratio of students in its classes. And where students are predominantly of one sex, such as males in engineering, "efforts shall be made to hire one or more members of the- opposite sex as a means of promoting a more equal sex ratio among the students."

To perfume or not to perfume Does perfume make a woman as sexy as the ads promise?· Robert A. Baron, a Purdue

University psychologist, looked for the answer and came up with some unusual results-at least among college students.

Males, it seems, are attracted to perfumed females only if the women are wearing jeans, sweatshirts, or the' like.

For the well-dressed female, perfume seems to have the opposite effect: it turns men off. In the experiment, Mr. Baron paired up males and females and then asked the males to

rate how attractive they found the women. Half of the women in the experiment wore two drops of a perfume called Jungle Gardenia, the other half did not. Some women in each of the groups were neatly dressed (blouses, skirts, stockings), the others wore the most casual campus garb.

The women in casual clothes who wore perfume were seen as warmer and sexier than those who did not wear perfume. In nice clothes, the scented women were seen as colder and less romantic than the women who did not wear Jungle Gardenia.

Among the possible conclusions that can be drawn from his study, Mr. Baron says, is that perfume and dressy clothes "may be too much of a good thing".

Whatever the conclusion. Mr. Baron warns: "Unquestioning faith in the benefits of perfume, cologne, and similar products does not seem justified."

More money for medical research proposed The Medical Research Council Five Year Plan, released on September 29, 1980,

proposes a 5-year funding program for biomedical research with yearly fund increases of about 20 percent.

Dr. J. Cowan, President of the Canadian Federation of Biological Societies, said "the proposed MRC 5-year funding program, outlined_ in the Medical Research Council (MRC) 5-year plan, will enable biomedical research in Canada to begin a recovery from a decade of underfunding and neglect by government. The plan proposes increased funds for regional development in biomedical research, an important component in ensuring adequate medical research facilities in various -regions of Canada," continued Dr. Cowan.

Sociologist wins SSHRC grant

Predicting birthrates that fact. There were additional factors in the birthrate not accounted for by the baby-boom mothers alone. These factors represent short-term fluctuations which Kyriazis relates to fluctuations in the age group ratios. Kyriazis wants to study the intervening factors which affect the number of births . "We can anticipate the number of births to increase in the middle of the 1980s because of a decline in births in the 1960s, which will lead to wages and salaries increasing and thus make it economically possible to have children," states Kyriazis.

Recognizing this, the Social Sciences and __ Humanities Research Council has awarded ~ a $7,530 research grant to Sociology ~ professor Natalie Kyriazis for predictions ~ on future birthrates. §

A specialist in demographic research for ~ over four years, Dr. Kyriazis is also one of the first sociologists to document birthrate statistics on a wide scale to be used as a social and economic planning tool.

According to Kyriazis, there has been a decline in birthrate in most developed countries iq recent years, including Canada. This decline has altered the relative proportions of older to younger people, so that today the greatest proportion of our population consists of people over the age of 35 years. People are becoming concerned about the implications of having a greater proportion of older people in the population and the concomitant social and economic changes.

"If we can't forecast what future birthrate statistics will be, then we can't adequa ely plan for the increase of older people in the population," states Dr. Kyriazis.

"The thesis on which I have based my research is, whenever there is a decline in the number of younger people in the population relative to older people, there is a more favorable economic climate for these younger people. As the supply of younger people decreases, the wages and demand for these younger people decreases -that's simple economics. Also, there is a decline in the unemployment rate of this group, their wages and salaries increase and generally there is a more favorable economic situation," she adds.

Kyriazis is dealing with the problem of correlating changes in birthrate statistics with changes in population age group ratios. To do this, she is examining data of

combination of sources which include The Census of Canada, Statistics Canada and The Survey of Consumer Finances.

Since the 1960s there has been a decline in births. The baby-boom lasted until the end of the 1950s and then in the 1960s there was a decline in birthrate which lasted up until a few years ago. Then an expected resurge occurred because there were more women of childbearing age as a result of this boom.

But the increase was. not due solely to

She elaborates: "There are many intervening factors related to the number of · children being born. Women are working in greater numbers and have to make decisions between careers and families­that's an economic decision. In order to stay at home and take care of your children, you have to give up a job which in many cases is quite profitable.

"Economic factors at the present time are the major factors influencing the birthrate. As labor force participation of women increases, birthrate decreases, because there is an incompatibility between the employment of women and birthrate. Women can't be working and raising children at the same time because they, at this time, are the ones with the major responsibility." Another factor is the shift away from traditional values and religion, which has had an impact on birthrate.

· Here in Quebec the birthrate figures of French Catholics are quite low, and indeed Quebec has the lowest rate of any province. French Canadians experienced a sharp decline in birthrate in the 1960s dUJ! in part to the "Quiet Revolution" .

"If people decide to have a certain number of children, it's a decision that's a result of available material resources," Kyriazis says.

With her research grant, Kyriazis will be looking at many factors to determine how. age group ratio differences influence fluctuations in the birthrate. Through her model she will be able to determine how past economic cycles have influenced the · birthrate. She can then apply the pattern of the past in order to determine future birthrates.

Debate on the Arts & Science Curriculum .Task Force

In the interest of encouraging a debate on the consultation document issued by the Arts ·and Science Curriculum Task , Force chaired by Division Ill Dean Maurice Cohen, The Thursday Report is opening its pages to comments on the Cohen document. Please send all submissions both to the Editor, The Thursday Report, BC 214, and to Dean Maurice Cohen, H401-4 of the Hall Building. Copies of either the consulting document or the History prof. Robert Tittler reply are available at the dean 's office, 879-4085.

Both Cohen and Tittler have written summaries of their documents which we are reprinting here. We also are printing the comments of Education prof. Gary Boyd. .

Cohen sunimary of consultation document

' In the fall of 1979 the Arts and Science

Special Task Force on Curriculum announced that it would " . .. attempt as part of its mandate to articulate, within the context of the present structure of the Faculty of Arts and Science, the type or · -types of education, programs and courses to be offered by the Faculty to meet the challenges of ·undergraduate education in the nineteen-eighties, and the legitimate academic needs and interests of students in Arts and Science as well as in other Faculties;" that it would, "in the light of the overall principles to be articulated .. . consider whether recommendations, such as Faculty degree requirements, should be adopted which would provide the academic departments and the smaller units such as 'colleges' with the opportunity of making a more effective contribution to the development of the Faculty and of realizing the full potential of our resources; " and that it was seeking briefs on these matters from any interested individual or group.

Only five briefs were received. To be successful any significant change in curriculum sHould come about as a result of widespread awareness of the issues involved, general concern about the educational problems faced by the Faculty and extensive debate of the choices available. The Task Force therefore decided to prepare a Consultation Document to increase awareness and concern, to stimulate discussion and induce submissions on the issues.

The Consultation Document was sent to students and faculty members in the ' Faculty of Arts and Science. Rather than summarize the Consultation Document, copies of which are still available from my office (H-401 Joe. 4085), I will indicate some of the questions which, in my opinion, must lead to definite r.ecommendations from the Task Force.

In the last three years a great deal of energy has been devoted to the creation of

the "smaller units such as colleges". It is safe to say that the students enrolled.in the colleges are ·receiving an education with a distinctive character. The students in colleges constitute, however, a small percentage of the undergraduate enrolments in the Faculty of Arts and Science. What is, or what should be, the distinctive character of the education of a student in Arts and Science at Concordia University?

With few exceptions all undergraudate students in the Faculty, including those in the colleges, must enrol in a departmental major, specialization, or honours program. The extent of suGh programs ranges from 36 credits to 78 credits. In structure they vary from flexible to rigid. In content some include courses in two or more cognate disciplines while others are strictly unidisciplinary. The Task Force intends to make recommendations (possibly to do nothing) regarding the extent, content and structure of departmental programs.

There are basically no degree requirements in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Stucients, with the exception of those in colleges, are free to choose the courses outside their departmental program without any guidelines or restrictions. (Is this really the distinctive character of the Faculty? that of a shopping center?) I believe it important for the Task Force. to make recommendations regarding the extent, content and distributions of courses outside a student' s departmental program.

There are many possible models for legislation in this area: core curriculum, distribution requirement, requjrement of a minor program, etc. One brief, sent to the Task Force last year by Professor R. Tittler, contained a reasoned, fully developed proposal on this issue. The brief was recently widely circulated to help stimulate debate. A summary of the proposal is provided in this issue of The Thursday Report by Professor Tittler.

. Recommendations from the Task Force on programs and degree requirements must take into account the diversity of the aims of undergraduate education, the heterogeneity of the undergraduate , population (particularly our responsibility to part-time and mature students), and the variety of expectations by many academic and outside groups from the University. It follows that a decision about curriculum will be a compromise. Such a decision to still be e'ffective and of significance must be reached only after a clear understanding of the various, often conflicting, interested forces. Hence the Consultation Document contains sections dealing with the· aims of undergraduate education, the student population, the administrative units in the University and the external forces .

The Task Force recognizes that there are many factors, in addition to curriculum, which affect the quality of undergraduate education. One important factor which has contributed to the quality and. the distinctiveness of the education provided to students in colleges is counselling (as a matter of fact guidance and counselling are the raisons d'etre for the Centre for Mature Students). However, in general there is dissatisfaction with the present academic and career counselling system (see the Link,

Tuesday, October 4, 1980, page 9). This is an area where the Task Force will make recommendations and the Faculty must make a concerted effort to improve the situation.

The Consultation Document raises questions on other topics which should result in recommendations from the Task Force. These topics are: teaching and . evaluation, mechanisms for curricular change, interrelationships between faculties, the contribution of extra-curricular activities and continuing education.

In emphasizing in this note the importance of curricular concerns (program types and degree requirements) and of academic advising l am expressing a personal opinion as well as trying to focus attention and debate on a small number of issues.

Su_mmary of 'A Brief on Curricular Reform . .. ' By Robert Tittler

In December 1979 I submitted a 20-page brief to Dean Cohen's Task Force on Curriculum which was circulated to Arts and Science faculty at the· Dean's request some weeks ago. I have summarized that brief below at the request of the Thursday Report, but I do so with some trepidatioQ. A summary is necessarily a simplification, nd should not be taken for the original:

this may be obtained from Dean Cohen's office. 1. The goals of Arts and Science

education at Concordia In considering the issue of curricular

reform at Concordia it is essential that we keep in mind what and where the University is, whom it is educating, and for what purpose. Our student body does not represent the sort of-social elite which most British and, like them, most senior Canadian universities were designed to educate. We can no longer assume that our entering students share any common skills of literacy or numeracy, or any common body of general information or ideas.

We are committed, and should be committed, to educating a broad, diverse, and socially egalitarian share of our extremely diverse society. Both our professional vocation as scholars and educators .and our role as a University in this particular society compel us to equip our graduates not only with specialized knowledge in one or more disciplines, but also with the breadth and versatility that will allow them to participate as fully as possible in the society in which they will dwell.

Our curriculum must thus accomplish several purposes. It must assure literacy, without which neither we nor our graduates can do anything further. It must also strike a balance between the acquisition of several fundamental intellectual and cultural frames of reference on the one hand (non-specialist curriculum) with some firmer and substantive grasp of a specific discipline (or disciplines) on the other (specialist curriculum).

In the former case, we must impart at least an understanding of the methodology and concerns of certain areas of intellectual

endeavors outside the student's chosen field. With this, a graduate should have a basis upon which to build whatever further ·grounding in those fields which may prove necessary, desirable and/or enjoyable in later life. II. Literacy

The ability to communicate accurately and effectively in English, and with a reasonable fluency and comprehension in French, should be instituted as a formal requirement for graduation. English fluency should entail writing which _is grammatically and etymologically accurate and stylistically effective, and reading which permits comprehension of undergraduate assignments.

French fluency should entail working fluency in speech, accuracy in simple written French, and the ability to read with comprehension a first-rate newspaper. Literacy thus defined should be tested upon admission and thereafter if necessary. Deficiencies -should be made up with as many formal courses as necessary, though academic credit should not be given for more than 6 credits of re.medial work in both English and French. Foreign students may be excused the French requirement. III. The non-specialist curriculum

The proposed non-specialist curriculum consists of five areas in which the educated graduate should have a fundamental acquaintance-a frame of reference­gained by completing a six-credit course in each. Departments within each of these areas should designate or design courses intended to present the nature of the discipline to non-specialists. These areas are -as follows:

A. Science, especially the 'senior' disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology and physics. It is simply inconceiva6le in the present world that the informed layman will not have some appreciation of the methods, capabilities and even ontological limitations of modern science.

B.· Non-verbal communication: the fields of mathematics, computer science, statistics and communication studies.

C. The social sciences, especially the 'senior' disciplines of economics, political science, psychology and sociology­anthropology.

D. The 'heritage disciplines', which convey to us- something of our cultural, moral and intellectual heritage, include classics, English literature, history, modern languages (in luding French), philosophy; theology.

E. The 'expressive component' of an educated individual brings a cultural and avocational dimension to our being; it would embrace fine arts, creative writing, film-making, photography. IV. The specialist curriculum

As many people both in the University and in the present Ministry of Education have begun to realize, our curricula are often over-specialized on the undergraduate level. The Major Degree should impart a firm grasp of the methodology and scope of the chosen discipline. It should allow the more capable student to undertake some post-graduate training, or to teach a course in that field at the s~ondary level wjth Jitt.le

.consultation additional training. It should not exceed 42 credits.

The Hons. and Bae. Spec. degrees should offer a greater degree of speciaiization and, in the former case, a higher standard of proficiency than implied by the Major deiree. Yet we must never insist that this level of training reach the level of the graduate training which it anticipates. Neither program should exceed 60 credits, and departments should permit up to 12 credits for cognate courses in other departments.

V. Elective courses Though it may seem that these curricular

requirements will leave few electives for the ·student, three factors mitigate against this. First, the fulfillment of requireiv-ents in the major field(s) will satisfy one or more of the distributive area requirements.

Secor,d, departments should be encouraged to recognize CEGEP courses where appropriatLJo fulfil distributive re_quirements, thus freeing additional course credits for elective choice.

Third, as word of literacy requirement reaches the CEGEP level it seems reasonable to expect that the CEGEPs themselves will place greater emphasis on basic skills. In time this may alleviate some of the need for remedial work at Concordia. In this manner we will not only upgrade our own degrees, but influence the standards of education at lower levels as well. Robert Tittler is a professor in the History department.

Arts & Science Curriculum reform; a personal view By Gary Boyd ;

A legitimate core curriculum is one which is arrived al through public debate among '

· those whose interests are involved. This is intended to be a contribution to such debate.

There are two sorts of interests-the interest we all share in living in a civilized society formed partly by our students, and the personal interest each of us has in our ·\ own peculiar scholarly or research problem areas. When it comes to saying what, and how much of whic;h,' is good for all our students it is to be hoped that the former · concern shall predominate.

Given the turbulent world of today and tomorrow, how should we help students to make the societally best · choice of direction,

and how should we help them to develop the greatest possible intellectual power to carry through their choices? These are the core curriculum questions.

One tentative; answer is to prescribe: • Philosophy. To aid in clearing away

spurious reasoning from life choice debates, etc.

• Cyber etics. To understand how people and· things control each other. ·

• Mathematics. In particular, set theory, graph theory and statistics, as a basis for dealing with our computerized ·and pseudo-quantified world.

• Modern Languages. Reading, writing, and bargaining skills in the most important modern languages, English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish, and given the Canadian context French is also inevitable.

• Study Skills. The core should contain courses on how to be a student, the strategies of study and criticism.

• The 'heritage area' is important because romantic involvement with parts of our cultural heritage is what sustains peoples' desire to survive; without it everything is either slavery or mere hedonist gratification. However, the particular aspects of our heritage which will appeal . to a given person are so varied that, except perhaps for some survey courses, the particulars should all be chosen by each student in consultation with his or her advisor (and every student should have at least one appointment with an advisor each -year). There are two rational bases for these

recommendations: a) from goal studies done on faculty, students, and members of communities to see what they hope for from universities: The Quebec Government Angers Commission Report (May; 1979), and Peterson, Richard E., "E.T.S. Goals for Higher Education Studies" (1973) & subsequent. . b) from studies of the probable life opportunities and problems of the next several decades such as the Australian National University's Report A Choice of Futures (1975).

There might also be some virtue in faculty acquiring some familiarity with modern curriculum research as applied to higher education; the U.K. S.R.H.E. "Research into Higher Education Abstracts" make enlightening reading as does "Change" magazine. Gary Boyd is an Associate,. Professor of Education.

'Women's Room' author to speak

Marilyn French, author of The Women's Room, will speak at Concordia on November JO. ·

It's time women's literature reflected the reality of women's lives. This will be one of Marilyn French's themes when she speaks at Concordia on November 10.

According to French, whose book The - Women's Room was recently adapted for

television, literature dealirig with women has been extremely resistant to change and has remained tied to outdated literary conventions. These conventions, she says, maintain that women's work can not be taken seriously, that men are central to women 's lives and that women either live happily ever after or die for love.

The Women's Room, published in 16 countries and available in 15 language editions, breaks with these conventions although , as French says, this "is not to say • that it does not contain conventions and cultural assumptions of its own."

"The Women's Room shows women's work for the tedious, draining, menial, and . occasionally brilliant and creative thing it is," says French. "It insists on the centrality of women's work to the world at large and to women themselves. It shows the actual importance of men to a variety of women . It offers no finality, no promised Eden, but only endurance, survival."

A graduate of Hofst-ra and Harvard universities, Marilyn French has taught English at both her alma maters as well as at Holy Cross College. She has also written The Book as World: James Joyce's Ulysses and The Bleeding Heart.

Her talk, entitled "The Women 's Room and Literary Conventions", will be given .November 10 at 4 p.m. in H-110. A French translation of the lecture will be available in the auditorium '.

Marilyn French comes to Concordia at the invitation of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, in collaboration with Les Editions Acropoles. For further information call 879-8521. MG -

Journalist to discuss western press and colonialism

Jeremy Boultbee, a journalist and teacher in Lisbon, Portugal, will participate in a _ seminar at Sir George Williams campus Nov. 11. A former Canadian journalist who covered some of the early struggles of colonial peoples in Africa, Boultbee will discuss the Western press and· the Third World.

The seminar will take place in the Lounge of the School of Community and Public Affairs at 4:30 p.m. and is co­sponsored by Journalism Program and School of Community and Public Affairs.

Boultbee was born in Canada, but was educated in England and later served in the British army in Kenya and Malaya. He returned to Canada to complete his education and became a journalist.

His first experience in Africa was to cover Portugal's African coloriies, as a guest of the Portuguese government. When the coverage was unflattering to the government, his cachet was withdrawn, but he was already caught up in the Africans' · independence struggle. When the independence movement led to the fall of the Portuguese dictatorship, Boultbee

returned to Lisbon to report on the subsequent revolution in that country.

He now teaches English at the University of Lisbon and writes frequently on Third World problems, particularly on the peculiar perceptions and biases of western media when reporting and commenting on Third World affairs.

His perspective should be particularly valuable to Canadians, who receive much of their Third World coverage not from Canadian media resources, but from those of other advanced nations.

It wili also be valuable in the_ context of the current debate within UNESCO on whether there should be "protection" for journalists covering wars, revolutions and day-to-day crises around the world. Many Third World nations are in favor, but such moves are viewed with suspicion by Western media, which characterize them as attempts to license newsmen and deflect unfavorable coverage.

Boultbee will provide some insight into some of the more specific issues involved.

Plays cover 1780 literary world to 1980 fantasy world By Mark Gerson

Theatre lovers can look forward to two generous servings of free entertainment this week and next with material ranging from the literary world of 1780 to the fantasy world of 1980.

The occasion is two separate theatre events. First, a one-woman show based on the l.etters and diaries of eighteenth-century writer Fanny Burney, then the latest . double-bill by Concordia's Performing ~rts division, comprising Jean Anouilh's Antigone and Star Dust by Violet Karavul and Barbara Mackay.

In Fanny B.urney and Friends, which plays Saturday night for a single performance, British actress Karin Fernald looks at ·th'e first half of Burney's life and at the artistic and literary figures she encountered from the publication of Evelina, A Young Lady's Entrance into the World in 1778 until her marriage in 1793.

From the time lier novel was published, the 25-year-old Burney was plunged into London literary circles, meeting the likes of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Dr. ·samuel JohHson, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Hester Lynch Thrale. She took a job as lady-in­waiting to Queen Charlotte (for the money) and found herself at court during George Ill's first bout with madness.

Burney stayed at court for five years, partly because one didn't quit the Queen's service and partly out of friendship. But when she did leave, it was gratefully. Court etiquette didn't allow for eyeglasses, and Burney was desperately short-sighted.

Throughout the first half of her life Burney maintained a violent dislike of the French and believed she would never marry. Bl!t at the age of 40 she did marry and moved to France with her French husband, General d' Arb lay.

Fernald plays not only Burney in her one-woman show, but many of the

0

key characters of that period in Burney's life. Johnson, Sheridan and even George III are portrayed by this accomplished actress, and the result should be, in the words of the Glasgow Herald, "a lively glimpse of Georgian society". •

Concordia is the last stop on a Canadian tour that has taken Fanny Burney and Friends to universities across the country.

_ But Fernald is no stranger to Canadian audiences. She was seen as Isabella in the 1969 Stratford production of Measure for Measure, and is probably best remembered on both sides of the Atlantic as Anne Forsyte in the BBC's The Forsyte Saga. - Fanny Burney and Friends plays

Saturday, November 8 at 8 p.m. in Sir George's D. B. Clarke Theatre.

Opening three nights later is the Performing Arts division's double bill of student-directed one-act plays.

Hada McNeil . directs Antigone, Jean Anouilh's-1944 adaptation of Sophocles' tale about the daughter of Oedipus. In both the classical and modern versions Antigone disobeys her uncle the king's edict forbidding anyone to give her brother a ritual burial and must face the consequences of her action. As a study of personal loyalties in conflict with autho-rity,

it's little wonder that Anouilh's adaptation was controversial when it premiered in Nazi-occupied Paris .

McNeil is convinced that the play remains as timely as it was when Sophocles wrote the first version 400 years before Christ. "I think that even today people find it difficult to take stands," she says .

The former social worker began her theatre involvement in her native New York where she acted in off-Broadway and off­off-Broadway productions. She also appeared in the first Spanish production of Shakespeare-in-the-Park in New York. In Montreal, McNeil has worked with La Poudriere,. Youtheatre and the Quebec Drama Festival. She hopes to do graduate work in directing when.she graduates from

· Concordia. The second half of the double bill is a

fantasy loosely based on the Cinderella story. Cowritten by student Violet Karavul and theatre professor Barbara Mackay, Star

Hada (Angela) McNeil ,

Dust is the second original work presented by the Performing Arts division this season. The first 'was Gary Jewell's. Five Regional Engineers in Search of An Historical Pageant, which closed last Sunday.

"Star Dust," says Mackay, "deals with the human need to connect; it's about how we translate our need for a reai relationship into a fantasy, and deals particularly with women's fantasies. There are fairy tale elements in the play, in that it deals· with fantasy and romance.''

Co-author Karavul also directs Star Dust. Antigone and Star Dust share the same

crew of student designers: Kathy Mathewson for sets, Chris Leger for lights and Sarah Frye for costumes .

The two one-acts will run from November 11 through 16 at 8 p.m. in the Chameleon Theatre at Loyola. Free tickets will be available at the box office from 6:30 p.m. each performance night.

The next event in Concordia's theatre season is Uncommon Women and Others, from November 25 to 30 in the D. B. Clarke Theatre. ·

Religious revival of Soviet intellectuals examined

Why, in the atheistic society of the Soviet Union, would intellectuals be the first to return to reli¥ion? Shouldn't the Church attract the lower classes before it attracts the intellectual class?

These are some of the questions that will be addressed by Dmitry Pospielovsky when he speak's on "Religious Revival and Russian Intellectuals in the Soviet Union", November 12 at 8:30 p.m: in room H-435.

A professor of history at the University of Western Ontario, Pospielovsky is a recognized scholar in the field of Soviet studies. He has published extensively on the subject of Church/state relations.

In 1979, Pospielovsky held a fellowship at Harvard's Russian Research Center, and earlier .this year he was invited to the Second World Congress on Soviet and East European Studies in Garmisch, Austria.

The lecture is sponsored by Concordia'_s
