Leacock in Stark show

Note~ author and McGill University economics professor Stephen Leacock will address Loyola students and faculty on Wednesday October 26. Professor Leacock has just completed a lecture tour of Canada, the United States and Great Britain.

Impossible? Far-fetched? Only partially, for Stephen Leacock is alive and well and living in John Stark, a Vancouver actor, director and playwright, and in Stark's one-man show "Stephen Leacock - Master Humourist".

Described by the Vancouver Province as "an act in town you can't afford to miss" and by the Winnipeg Tribuneas "absolute­ly charming", Stark's performance is a monologue based on the works of Canada's greatest humourist. It recreates Leacock's famous lecture tours of the 1930s and is similar in ·style to Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight".

Stark has spent two years touring as Leacock. It began when, unable to find an actor to portray Leacock, he decided to try the part himself. He researched Leacock, talking with people who knew him and studying oid recordings. The result: performances at Oxford University, the Leacock Festival, Canadian universities and community theatres, on CBC radio and at the recent U.N. Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat) in Vancouver.

Stephen Leacock was born at Swan­moor, England on December 30, 1869. "I am not aware that t here was any conjunction of the planets at the time," he is reputed to have said, "but I should think it extremely likely!" He lived in Canada' from age six until his death in 1944.

John Stark will bring his portrayal of Stephen Leacock to the Loyola Campus Centre at 8 pm on October 26. Free tickets can be picked up from room AD-135 (Loyola) or at the door. The presentation is sponsored by th~ Program Development Sector of the Dean of Students Office.

FARE WARNING:

Helwig, Mills end series Poet and novelist David Helwig and

author John Mills are the final two participants in the En~lish Department series this term of readings by poets and prose artists on the Loyola campus.

Helwig will read on October 25 and Mills onNovember21 in the Vanier Auditorium. Both readings will begin at 7:30 pm.

David Helwig, a graduate of the Universities of Toronto and London, taught at Queen's University from 1962 until his appointment as literary editor for CBC TV drama in 1974. He worked with television drama head John Hirsch.for two years. Helwig was a freelance editor for Oberon Press in 1973-74 and edited Oberon's Canadian short story anthologies between 1970 and 1975.

The GI.ass Knight, Helwig's latest novel, prompted Darryl Gibson of the Hamilton Spectator to write: "The GI.ass Knight is a great book that rates high in the list one might choose to take to a desert island and certainly among the first I would show anyone asking if Canadians have a literature." Of Atl.a:rttic Crossings, Hel­wig's most recent poetry collection, Stan Draglund of the London Free Press wrote: "I admire its story-telling strategy, the novelty of its subject matter, most of all the clean intensity of the poetry. It's a tight and powerful book."

Other publications include the short story collection The Streets of Summer, the novel The Day Before T<>mQrrow (reissued as Message From a Spy) and the poetry collections The Silence of the Gunman, Figures in a Landscape, The Best Name of Silence and Inside and Outside.

SECRETARY-RECEPTIONIST [C-4]

Comic novelist John Mills' books are, according to Loyola English prof John Miller, "bizarre and ribald". Critics have claimed that in Mills' works "realism has been left behind" and have described his books as being full of "witty incongruities".

His novels include Eating Out, The Swinging Headhunter, The Land of Is and The October Men. His latest, Skevington 's Daughter, is due to be released in the spring.

Well known for his lively performances at readings, Mills is one participant in the series not to be missed.

Staff freezes, not cuts - O'Brien Rector John O'Brien told a large

audience at Sill, George recently that it would be foolish' to be "overly negative" about the university's prospects in Quebec.

Bill 101, he said, has less direct effect on Concordia than Bill 22 had. Bill 101 exempts universities · from francization demanded by Bill 22.

Furthermore, Dr .. O'Brien said it was possible that students having., completed secondary education in the French sector might opt to enroll at Concordia, as there is no restriction of freedom of choice at the collegial level.

He also noted that enrollment levels have not drastically changed this year and students in CEGEPs now may continue to come to Concordia as they always have done.

This was not to suggest being blind• to ·the possible effects of Bill 101 in the long term. Dr. 'O'Brien said it was entirely possible that students might seek university education elsewhere because of the political climate in Quebec. . Dr . O'Brien said that the university had a deficit of $3 million and expected another $3 million deficit for the current year.

He said that the Quebec Department of Education, from which most dollars flow, was studying Concordia's financial plight, which leaves it with a per student grant of $1,000 less than other universities in the province.

Dr. O'Brien said the disparity was because t he Sir George and Loyola grants had always been lower than the other uni­versiti~s. "And when you start low, you tend to stay low," jle said. .

But he said that the government was earnestly studying Concordia's poor finan­cial position and there was hope for con­siderable improvement.

In response to a question about whether the staff was being trimmed, Dr. O'Brien said the current policy was 9nly to fill va­cancies that were pressing.

Vacancies that arise which do not need to be fi lled immediately are held in abeyance, he said.

Dr. O'Brien briefly discussed the pos­sibility of getting athletic space on the downtown campus, saying there was a possibility of getting the facilities at the Olympic site.

The arrangement being contemplated was to get the rental money from the government in order to pay another branch of the government.

But operating costs would have to be borne by the university and he rpentioned. that such costs would be taken out of student service fees.

Dr. O'Brien said that the proposed Sir

George library building was closer to government approval than ever, but that the expansion of the Vanier library and the construction of an additional floor to the Drummond Science Building h·ad been put off for at least a year.

Approval for t he Loyola projects and other university space requirements

would be considered by the government once Concordia came up with a university­wide space plan for the government's examination.

Dr. O'Brien said that the rental of Mid­Town Motors for the Faculty of Fine Arts would considerably relieve the space pres­sures at other points of the university.

Loyo·la expands his ·view It was not until last summer that Father

Ronald Bromley was told by the diocese of Grand Falls that he could leave his Newfoundland parish for a year.in order to go back to school.

What ensued was a period of chaos with Bromley madly rushing about examining university calendars and consulting friends trying-to decide where in Canada or the U.S. he should go to study. Discussions with Loyola's Dr. Michael Fahey and McGill's Professor Jeffries convinced Bromley that Concordia and Loyola had much to offer.

Academically, Bromley was looking for courses in theology, sacred scriptures and religious education, most of which Loyola could offer; what he was unable to take at Loyola he could take at Sir George or McGill.

There were, however, non-academic factors which influenced his decision. "Due

Father Bromley

to the fact that I'm a priest," explained Bromley through a . thick Newfoundland accent, "I want a place where I can meet other priests, I want to be exposed to other parishes ... I want to live on campus and I want to still be near a parish." He was able to find all this at Loyola: he lives in the Jesuit residence just behind the main campus and works at St. Monica's parish in N.D.G. on weekends.

For Bromley, this year at school, away ,from his 80 mile long parish of 1200 scattered in six communities is very important. "In a parish akin t!) mine, you just don't get much time for study, especially organized study. The ministry is very active and we realized a need after so many years of activity to go somewhere where one can be refreshed and renewed. Working in a small parish, in small communities, your view tends to narrow somewhat."

Bromley see~ this year in Montreal as an opportunity not only to broaden his outlook, but also as a way of learning more about religious educat ion, his main interest. He has experience and training in t he educational aspect: he was a teacher before he decided to go to Ireland to study for the priesthood 14 years ago and he completed a master's degree in educational administration six years ago at Newfound­land's Memorial University. He feels that t he courses he is taking here will complement his work in education and will help him with his job as director of religious education for the diocese.

This was Bromley's first trip to Montreal and when he arrived he had a small shock. "I had forgotten that it had grown so much since my grade nine geography. The last time I was concerned with Montreal, it had .a population of 900,000!" Anything that he found particularly impressive or exciting? "Well," he said, hesitated for a moment and then admitted almost apologetically, "I attended a hockey game at the Forum!"

Marketing's Battle of the Bucks

Eastern, . Western, Nord Americain Today's package goods market might be

called the Battle of the Bucks. That's what Macdonald Tobacco mar­

keting manager David Rosengarten told an over-flow audience of commerce students at the Vanier Auditorium recently.

"It's war and you've got to outspend the competition. If you have ;,good product and you can't spend $3 million on market research and advertising, you're dead," he said. ·

Mr. Rosengarten, who looks like he stepped out of a Salem ad in his Dry Look curls and cowboy boots, first traced recent marketing history.

"In the '50's, you had to have a USP: Unique Selling Point," he said. "If you built a better mouse trap and called it 'new and improved' that was your USP.

"In the '60's, so many people were using 'new and improved' that no one would be­lieve you anymore. That's when we got into image advertisjng, like the Man in the Hathaway Shirt. If you wanted to be a cool stud, you'd wear a Hathaway Shirt.

"Today it's positioning. Positioning your product in the mind of the consumer is im­portant. Take 'ring around the collar.' It's crap, it's insulting, but I remember the product," he said, without mentioning it.

(Not knowing the product, The Thursday Report asked 12 people what it was. All recalled seeing the commercial and remembered the line, but only one could say with absolute certainty that it was Whisk. Others thought it might be Tide, Fab, Shout (she was certain) or Borax.)

Mr. Rosengarten said that being first with a product doesn't matter. "Compe­titors will want to jump on your bandwa­gon (with imitations) and you have to have. the bucks to drive them out.''

Sometimes the very name of a company has a negative impact on sales. "Do you know the airline which carries the most passengers from coast to coast in the U.S.?"

A student ventured TWA. ' "No, it's Eastern," said Mr. Rosengar­ten." And they've had to spend a lot against that. People think that because the name is Eastern that it only operates in the east, which isn't so."

Mr. Rosengarten said there have been outright failures in marketing, the Edsel being the classic example.

He said that the Ford Motor Company "tried to sell the Edsel rather than market it."

Mr. Rosengarten said the company itself wanted to sell the Edsel. "They never asked the market whether they wanted it."

He said there were many mid-priced cars like the Edsel around then and the public simply did not want another.

The Mustang, however, was a success story. "It was a sporty car for Americans who didn't want to be bothered with a gear shift or spending Sunday afternoons tin­kering with the engine waiting for exotic parts from Europe," he said.

"Sure there were Camaros and Fire­birds, but Ford 'spent like hell to keep the Mustang positioned and the Mustang did very well in the market well down the road.''

Mr. Rosengarten said that the same approach couldn't work today. "Lifestyles have changed. People want to return to a more natural lifestyl~. You can't sell food additives the way you could and people want cars scaled down.''

In fact the change of lifestyles has had an impact on his product line: cigarettes.

He said the low-tar cigarettes, like the Vantage he was smoking, represented a

gradual weaning away from the heavy-tar cigaret tes such as Exp6rt or Rothmans. One of the big problems was packaging,

he said. He said Vantage's predominantly white package represented the sterility of low-tar, yet the blue and red disk meant there was something good inside. "Males reacted favorably to this (the disk)," he said.

Color was important. "In Ontario blue sells fantastically and in Quebec red is the color to use."

Mr. Rosengarten said that red sells with Latins generally. "In the U.S., they will market the same product in different colors when going into the Chicano states; for instance. We can't afford to do the same thing here."

Export cigarettes are the great mystery in the marketing field. "They break every rule in the book, but they're still the best selling brand in Canada. It's the thing. No­body knows why, it's just a Canadian tradition."

Mr. Rosengarten said that soldiers were sent cigarettes during the War. They had the Highland Lassie and EXPORT written on them, simply because they were for export.

"When the soldiers got home, they asked for Export, but no one knew what they were talking about at first," he said.

"Then the company started marketing them in green packages and they became a best seller," he said.

Mr. Rosengarten said that in the fore­seeable future, the multiplicity of products on the market, what Alvin Tofler called over-choice, means "spending like hell" to keep your product in the public eye.

"But the product must sell itself after it's purchased," he said. "You can sell anything pnce. But if you want to sell it again, you 'llUst have a good product. No amount of adv~rtising can sell a bad product."

Teachers learn in junior's

art classes Concordia's children's art classes teach

more than children. The teachers are senior art education

students and it's their first classroom experience.

"It's a pleasant introduction for them both, the children and the students," said Fine Arts Prof. Frank Barry.

"The children are taught art in pleasant surroundings and the students can teach with good sized classes and with all the necessary materials," he said.

Things are different out in the Real World, said Prof. Barry. "When they teach in high school, the classes will be large and they will have to teach and get to know their students in a much shorter time," he said.

As the rain pelted down Saturday, some 50 children from six to sixteen painted, sketched and sculpted on the fifth and sixth floors of the Hall Building.

Student teachers made videotapes of their classes and will eventually edit them for presentation and discussion during their regular classes.

Prof. Barry said that for the firs t nine weeks of the eighteen week course, one student will act as teacher while the other will be an assistant and observer.

During the second nine weeks after Christmas, the roles will reverse and each student-teacher will be given a different age group to teach.

"In this way the students get experience with different age groups," said Prof. Barry.

The student-teachers didn't have much choice as to what age group they would teach. "I'm afraid we had to be quite arbi­trary about that," said Prof. Barry. "It all depended on what categories of student came in."

Most categories are filled now, but Prof. Barry said they were short of students in the 11 to 12 age group.

Should you have a child that age who is interested in the Saturday morning art classes, call Mrs. Patsy Kottmeier at 879-4312. Fees are $50.

Flu Shots Available Flu vaccine injections (Victoria A & B

Hong Kong Strain) are now available through the University Health Services until December 16th, 1977. Such injections are recommended for those with chronic conditions, and those over the age of sixty-five.

Only one injection is required and a nominal fee of $1.50 will be charged to cover the cost of the vaccine and materials.

At Loyola, faculty and staff may receive injections at the Centennial Building, Room CHO12, 9:00 am to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. Fridays (closed 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. every day). Phone ext. 480 for further information.

At Sir George, injections are available at 2145 Mackay Street, Room S-108, from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 9:00 am to 5:$0 pm Wednesday, and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday. Please call ext. 4010 for an appointment, or further information. Dr. H. Aramovitch, Di.rector of the Sir George HeaUh Centre, adds this note about the shots:

Influenza, a viral respiratory illness, reappears every year, usually during the cold s€ason, but with considerable va­riations in incidence and geographic disttibution. Efforts to prevent or control this infection are directed at protecting those individuals at greatest risk of becoming seriously ill. This "high risk" group includes chronically ill adults and older persons, especially over age 65.

This year influenza vaccine will be offered to adults with such chronic conditions as 1) heart disease 2) respira­tory disease 3) kidney disease 4) diabetes mellitus and 5) persons over 65. Vacci­nation will also be considered for persons who provide essential services in this University community and may be at increased risk of exposure. This group will . be considered on an individual basis.

Side effects of influenza vaccine are generally inconsequential in adults and occur at low frequency. Three main types of reactions have been described: 1) Fe­ver, muscle pains, malaise, starting 6 - 12 hours after vaccination and persisting 1 - 2 days; 2) Allergic reactions can occur but are very uncommon, most likely egg protein. Thus, this vaccine is contra­indicated in persons with a history of· allergy to egg, chicken, or chicken feathers; 3) Guillain-Barre syndrome, usu­ally a self-limited paralysis may occur within 8 weeks after influenza vaccination in approximately ten out of every million persons vaccinated. While the risk is very low, persons who receive this vaccine should be aware of its existence.

Three Cuckolds a hit An evening of bawdy entertainment

awaits you at Sir George's D.B. Clarke Theatre where Concordia's Performing Arts Division is currently presenting their commedia dell'arte production of "The Three Cuckol.ds ".

No heavy drama, no emotionally draining scenes, just pure fun with Arlecchino, Pantalone and all the other standard commedia dell'arte characters.

Commedia dell'arte developed in Italy in the sixteenth century with travelling players who used a series of stock characters to create entertainment for their audiences. These entertainments were usually put together by the company of players and consisted of a series of standard situations, all distinctly sexual in nature.

The Three Cuckol.ds revolves around three married couples: Coviello and Cintia, Pantalone and Flaminia, and. Zanni and Franceschina. Also involved are Leandro, a gigolo, Arlecchino, the nar­rator / hero of the story and the Devil, who makes a cameo appearance in Act I.

Coviello is being cuckolded by Leandro, Pantalone is being cuckolded by Coviello, Zanni is being cuckolded by Pantalone and Arlecchino, trying desperately to join' in the "feasting", is cuckolded by everyone, and isn't even married.

The major part of the story involves the mechanics of getting rid of the various husbands, and of Arlecchino, by the wives and lovers. If you think that deciphering who is making it with whom is difficult, figuring out how they are managing it is even more complex.

Under Perry Schneiderman's expert direction, the nine student actors resisted what must have been an unbearable urge to play for cheap laughs. Although all were excellent, four stood out from the rest as exceptional: David Sauve as .... Arlecchino, Nancy Irena Wood as Cintia, i Geraldine Farrell as Franeschina and ~ Ralph Davis as Zanni. 0

One of the highlights of the show was ~ '4-Dan Hoffman's superb set. Finely detailed ~ '¾ <.. . and lovingly executed, it fit the show ~ 11... "' ·· . . . perfectly.
