Wolfgang Rottenberg fascinated by philosopher's compositions

Nietzsche's music recorded at Concordia ii Moscovitch

Like most people, Music Professor Wolfgang Botten berg was surprised to learn that the German philosopher who penned the phrase "God is dead" was also a com­poser.

Two years ago he had never heard of

Petrella singled out

Concordia Stingers' defensive lineman Giovanni Petrella (above) has been named to the Association of Canadian University Sports Information Directors' pre-season all-Cana­dian football team. The second-year Economics student had an impressive rookie season with Concordia, was named Rookie of the Year by the Ontario­Quebec Inter-University Football Conference.

Friedrich Nietzsche's music. Since then, he has recorded almost every piece Nietzsche wrote.

"I thought I would give a talk on the music," Bottenberg said. But he was fasci­nated by the compositions and began re­cording them in the spring of 1992.

Concordia Productions, the University's record label, will release The Compositions of Friedrich Nietzsche: Documentary re­cordings of 43 works for voice, violin, choir, piano, and piano duet in November.

That same month, Bottenberg will be lec­turing in Warsaw and Moscow on the com­positions.

Youthful compositions

Most of Nietzsche's music was written before 1865, when he turned 21. The scores languished in the Nietzsche archives in Ger­many until they were published in 1976. Apart from private performances during Nietzsche's lifetime, the music has hardly ever been played.

Bottenberg hopes that exposure to Nietzsche's music will lead to a re-evalu­ation of his philosophy, which was highly critical of the values of his time. "Nietzsche is a philosopher who is very misunderstood. To omit an aspect of Nietzsche which he considered to be the most important aspect of his work as a creator - music - is to misunderstand him," Bottenberg said.

"Beyond that," he added, "we've found that his music is very beautiful."

The two-CD set includes all of Nietzsche's compositions except for pieces written before he was 13, sketches and ex­ercises. Also left out are five preliminary versions of orchestral compositions.

Other Concordians involved in the project include producer Mark Corwin, vocalists Valerie Kinslow and Eric Oland, and pianist Lauretta Altman. Funding came from the Faculties of Fine Arts and Arts and Science.

Sympathetic recreation

Bottenberg arranged all of the music, and, in some cases, recreated compositions from fragments. "Some of them had to be edited

with minor additions, and some have been completely recreated. It is a sympathetic recreation of what I believe Nietzsche had

intended," he said. Reaction to a 1992 performance of the

Literary double-whammy

One of Canada's most famous authors, Margaret Atwood, signs a copy of her latest novel, The Robber Bride, as novelist Graeme Gibson, looks on. The couple read from their latest works (Gibson's is called Gentleman Death, and they're both published by McClel­land and Stewart) on Monday in the Alumni Auditorium of the Henry F. Hall Building. Their appearance was the first in a series of visits by distinguished writers, sponsored by the English Department. PHOTO: Marcos Townsend Concordia's first orientation for teaching

assistants was a great experience for Phil Moscovitch and dozens of fellow TAs.

New phone system named Singer Barbara Lewis records an original musical, and Archives has acquired a keyboard to play its rare sheet music.

The name game is over. Concordia's new Interactive Voice Re­

sponse System is now officially known as CARL (Concordia Automated Response Line). The winning entry, one of more than 375, came from Susan Durkee, a Registra­tion Assistant at Registrar's Services. She donated the $200 in prize money to Sun Youth.

Using pre-recorded speech, the computer­ized system allows callers to access and update information on the University's cen-

tral computer via touch-tone telephones. Starting in December, students will be able to access their grades for the fall semester by telephone. Course registration by tele­phone is slated to begin in the spring of 1994. This system can also be used to pro­vide a variety of services in the future, in­cluding financial aid inquiries and admissions information.

Information sessions on the system will begin this fall, and training sessions for all users of CARL will begin early next year.

Researchers will want to refer to these all-important research grant deadlines for the fall season and beyond.

Exchange service matches profs who want a change

Trading places can be a tonic Comeau

Faculty exchanges are like transfusions

- fresh new blood revitalizes an educa­tional body. But more often than not, faculty members who long for a change of scenery are daunted by the logistical difficulties in­volved in trading places with a colleague.

Many rejuvenating exchanges wouldn't take place without the help of the National

'We want jobs, jobs, jobs, We'll get cuts, cuts, cuts': Angell

Promises, promises. What would elec­

tions be without them? As more than 18

million Canadians prepare to elect a new

government, many election promises will

be made by the prime-ministerial hope­

fuls. What can we expect- or despair of

getting -from this election? Off the Cuff

asked Political Science Professor

Harold Angell, who specializes in Cana­

dian and Quebec politics, to lead us

through the election maze.

Much has been made about the num­

ber of women running in this election.

This is the first election in which two

national parties - the Tories and the New Democratic Party - have been led by women. Do you believe gender will play a role in this election?

"No. As many people will vote for Kim

Campbell because she is a woman as will

Harold Angell

not vote for her because she's a woman, so it will cancel out. As for NOP leader Audrey

McLaughlin, the NOP now is dead - finito."

What kind of leadership do Canadians want?

"What we're looking for are jobs, jobs, jobs. What we'll get are cuts, cuts, cuts. Their

[the politicians'] obsession is with the deficit. And they believe you can't cut the deficit

by creating jobs. What you need is tax revenues, and you don't get more revenues

by banging on an empty pot. That's anathema to this government."

Which, if any, issues will dominate the federal election?

"Primarily, economic issues such as unemployment. But Kim says unemployment

won't go down for another four years. What kind of hope is that?

When will the voters be satisfied?

"When a recovery comes and consumer demand goes up and the stock markets

boom, everybody will be satisfied. But that's got nothing to do with the government."

How has the electoral landscape changed over the past 30 years?

"There's a big difference. When I started observing elections in the 1950s, there was

stress on [campaign] volunteers. Now, if you need individually addressed letters,

computers can spew them out. Today, there are phone banks and polls. And now

there are enormous amounts of money involved in elections."

Do we get the leaders we deserve? In other words, is it fair to expect our

politicians to be honest and above-board?

"There have been saints in politics, but they never got anywhere."

Faculty Exchange, founded in 1983 to co­ordinate the needs of far-flung faculty and staff.

Concordia Computer Science Professor Bipin Desai, who taught at the University of North Carolina for the 1989-90 school year, said he could never have organized his own exchange.

"I wouldn't have taken the initiative, and done all the paperwork. This way, all I had to do was fill out one form and prepare one CV, and they took it from there."

Large membership

The NFE, which is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, enjoys a membership of more than 300 universities, colleges and educational associations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Micronesia. Ronald Smith, Director of the Learning Development Office and NFE co-ordinator at Concordia, said the versatil­ity of the programme makes it unique.

Multilateral

"There could be three or four people in­volved in an exchange, so that you might go one place, and your replacement might come from somewhere else entirely. It could be a multilateral, not just a bilateral, ex­change."

Exchanges are a long-standing higher­education tradition, but have taken on par­ticular significance in today's economic climate.

"There haven't been a lot of jobs in higher education for the last 10 years, and it seems this retrenchment will continue. So at a time of diminished mobility, in which faculty cannot change jobs nearly as often, ex­changes provide renewal both for the insti­tution and the individual."

Still, the difficulties are such that very few exchanges actually take place.

Opportunity

"We get a lot of preliminary interest for the coming academic year, but so far, only one person from Concordia per year has participated, because it's complicated to pack and move to Utah, for example. But even if very few people take advantage of it, it's important that all Concordia faculty and staff have the opportunity."

Those who have taken the plunge have no regrets. For Desai, the break from his work routine made the experience worthwhile.

"Because I was on an exchange, I didn't have as many departmental duties as a regu­lar faculty member, which freed my time for more research and writing. I finished writ­ing a textbook I was working on."

Political Science Professor Paris Ar­nopoulos said the reasons to go on an ex­change are not entirely academic.

"I've been to Florida and California for one winter each," he said. 'Those were my first choices. It was nice to get away from those Montreal winters."

Management c1111r studies Third World markets -

Small-business owners missing 'windows of opportunity': Ibrahim

Moscovitch

When it comes to dealing with developing nations, the future belongs to small busi­ness, says Management Professor A. Bakr Ibrahim.

He has been looking at how Canadian owners, managers and entrepreneurs can penetrate Third World markets, especially in As ia.

"There are a lot of windows of opportu­nity in these countries that they don't know about," he said.

Flexibility

Ibrahim, who is the Management Depart­ment Chair as well as Director of the Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurial Studies, says the flexibility of smaller or­ganizations can be a key to overseas suc­cess.

"Unlike big companies, who must stand­ardize their plants, small businesses can go abroad and fit the technology to their needs," Ibrahim explained.

"Countries such as China realize that they have to bring in foreign know-how and tech­nology. It probably won't come from large companies, because they expect too great a return on their investment, but small-busi­ness owner/managers are more flexible. A rate of return that might be rejected by a large company might be fine for a small business."

Third World countries eager to gain ac­cess to relatively new technologies don 't always need the most up-to-date equipment, Ibrahim noted. "Small businesses can take a technology that isn't in use any more by a big company, and use it in a Third World country."

Another strategy is to go into joint ven­tures with businesses in the developing world.

Bakr Ibrahim PHOTO: Charles Belanger

"Big companies don't like joint ventures, because they cut profits. But a joint venture allows the small-business owner to access a Third World country by having a manager there who knows about local traditions and regulations." In some countries, markets are closed to foreign corporations, but not to foreign companies operating in conjunction with local ones.

Cultural understanding

Three years ago, Ibrahim and doctoral student James Kendrick got funding from the Department of External Affairs to study what it takes for small and medium-sized companies to succeed in Japan. They found that in dealing with Japan, the most impor­tant element is to have an understanding of Japanese culture.

"The culture dominates the negotiation process. It tends to be lengthy, with deci­sions made by teams. Honour and trust are reflected more in a handshake than in a signature."

Caucus Steering committee concerned about University budget cuts

In Concordia's Thursday Report of Sep­tember 9, this group expressed its concern with regard to information received by us during the summer, concerning possible forthcoming University budget cuts. The information was conveyed to us by the Vice­Rector (Institutional Relations and Finance) at a Steering Committee meeting in June, together with details of the University's plan to form a task force to consult with all sectors of the University about the form such cuts might take.

We remain reliably informed that unspeci­fied though drastic cuts are still expected, and that said task force will be formed in the near future with a mandate to make its budget reduction recommendations to the University by December 31, 1993.

Our Committee was therefore surprised to observe no mention of these far-reaching matters in the first CTR of the 1993-94 aca­demic session. If the threat of University budget cuts has recently been removed, we

Development group

will be obliged to learn from the University that this is so. If on the other hand the threat remains, then it is clearly important for the process of consultation among all sectors of the Concordia community to begin without delay.

We hasten to clarify that the undersigned Steering Committee is not the University's budgetary task force (as the headline above our last week's letter may have unwittingly suggested). Our Committee steers the agenda for the Chairs' Caucus, of which all heads of Concordia's academic units are members. We have gathered the available information on budgetary and other matters of concern to unit heads, pending the first meeting of the full Caucus.

In this capacity, we remain anxious to receive clarification from the University ad­ministration about the possibility of budget cuts, so that we may inform our units about their implications.

Chairs' Caucus Steering Committee

needs your help: professor An open letter to the Concordia commu­

nity:

On behalf of CUSO, a Canadian interna­tional co-operation agency, I would like to seek your support for a special University charitable donations plan.

Throughout the Americas, people are feel­ing the effects of programmes of structural adjustment. Canadians are suffering cuts to spending on education, health and social services - the unravelling of the safety nets we have come to rely on. And we know that if times are tough here, they are even tougher in countries where there is no safety net and where war and natural disaster can make already difficult situations even worse.

But as in Canada, people elsewhere in the Americas aren ' t willing to simply accept these .deleterious social and economic changes. They're building alternatives for peace and economic development, and working to reclaim their culture and envi­ronment for future generations. CUSO, Ca-

nadian University Services Overseas, is playing a supporting role, working with communities that are taking responsibility for their own development.

As a member of the University commu­nity, I would like to invite you to support CUSO's work in the Americas. We are set­ting up a special University charitable do­nations plan to give you the opportunity to make your financial support more easily, albeit no less painfully.

Your gift will enable CUSO to better plan and manage its programmes, knowing there are donations it-can count on.

For more information, feel free to contact me or Jean-Guy Lacoursiere, the CUSO programme coordinator in Montreal at (514) 528-8465.

Your donation can help make the differ­ence between people confronting the chal­lenge in their community or giving up. Thanks for your support. Jack Kornblatt, Department of Biology

We need your help to ensure a healthy environment for us all! As you may be aware , as of January 1st 1993, Concordia University is officially a no­smoking institution. The reality, however, is that smoking still occurs, especially in pub­lic areas such as the Hall Building Cafeteria , Mugshots, Reggie's and the VA Annex's Cafe X on the Sir George Campus, and the Bryan Building, Campus Centre and Guadagni Lounge on the Loyola Campus.

We are asking the Concordia community to cooperate with the no smoking policy, for the benefit of all.

The University will be monitoring t~ese prob­lem areas and Security staff will be handing ou t no-smoking reminders to smokers . Concordia does not want to resort to fining smokers, as some other Montreal universi­ties have done. We are appealing to the sense of civic responsibility of all students, faculty and staff members.

Concordia CD based on Barbara Lewis play

Where dreams are bought and sold Moscovitch

A c·ompact-disc version of Book of Dreams, co-written and performed by Mu-

sic Professor Barbara Lewis, has been pro­duced by Concordia University.

The CD, slated for a September release, is Lewis's first. Its 19 songs are based on a play which was written by Lewis and her husband, former Gazette reporter Nicholas Regush.

Book of Dreams is a musical set in the distant future, when dreams are bought and sold. Lewis plays five characters from the planet Zeezel.

"It's about hope, and having the courage to stay true to your cherished dreams," she said. The "book of dreams" in the title re­cords the aspirations of everyone in the universe.

Debut last year

The play made its debut at theD.B. Clarke Theatre in 1992, then had a three-night run at Loyola's Cazalet Theatre a year later. In November, Lewis and keyboardist Richard Hunt will take the show to New York for a preview. She hopes that the New York per­formance, in conjunction with the release of the CD, will encourage future productions of Book of Dreams.

"We have our preview in New York, and after that we' 11 decide what to do - whether to do it with other presenters, or go for outside backing."

The Book of Dreams compact disc, funded partly by the CUPFA (Concordia University Part-time Faculty Association) Professional Development Fund and a Fae- · ul ty research grant, is designed primarily for promotional purposes. Half of the 750 cop­ies will be distributed by the University, while Lewis will send many of her 375 discs "to public relations people and backers."

Lewis said that her show changes with each performance, but that the album,

' Music Department is coming or age'

Two Concordia CDs hit the shelves this fall

ii Moscovitch

The Book of Dreams, a recording of songs by Music Professor Barbara Lewis, and The Compositions of Friedrich Nietzsche, are the University's third and fourth releases.

Two earlier albums released through the University, both titled Music from Concordia,

featured Music Professors Dale Bartlett on piano and Sherman Friedland on clarinet.

Music Professor Mark Corwin, the Manager of Concordia Productions, helped set up the University's label in 1989. "There really hadn't been much recording at Concordia before I came," he said.

The Nietzsche disc will be the label's first truly commercial album. It's slated for an original pressing of 1,000 copies. Earlier Concordia recordings were given away free or sent to libraries, with a limited number distributed through the SNE label.

Corwin is hoping that Concordia will take control of its own distribution and effectively market the releases, starting this year.

"The Music Department is coming of age," said Music Professor Wolfgang Botten­berg, who is involved in the Nietzsche project.

good record of where we were with the show at that time [in 1992]. I hear where we've changed, but I'm very happy with how it sounds," Lewis said. "It will continue to evolve. The more I do the show, the deeper I'll get into those characters - at

least that's what I hope." Lewis's next musical, Once in a Blue

mOOn, will premiere at the Cazalet Theatre next March as part of the Faculty Recital Series.

Who and what we are, in 13 minutes flat

The challenge was to say that Concordia is a lively, accessible place of good scholarship in less than 15 minutes, without leaving anybody out And that challenge has been met, say those who have seen Real Education for the Real World, the University's new promotional video. The fast-paced 13-minute tape, produced by a Montr6al company called INFRAME Productions Inc., was shown all day yesterday on monitors on both campuses, and got rave reviews. Viewers especially liked its lively pace, and the whimsical on-camera introductions by actor Roger Abbott, of CBC's Royal Canadian Air Farce. Above, in the audio suite of Encore Post-production, are some of those who created Real Education for the Real World. Counterclockwise, starting at upper left: writer-director Chris Malazdrewicz, a 1978 Communication Studies graduate, now of INFRAME; Communication Studies Professor Dennis Murphy, a member of the committee overseeing the project; sound engineer Claude St-Arnaud; Haig Vartzbedian (Communication Studies, BA '93) and Greg Smith (Communication Studies, BA '93), sound track composers. The concept was developed by Communication Studies graduate students Danielle Comeau and Anne Whitelaw, and the video's producer Is 1981 Fine Arts graduate David Pollock. Copies of the video will be available in October from the Audio Visual Department's Visual Media Resources Centre, room H-342 of the Henry F. Hall Building. PHOTO: Jonas Papaurelis

• MUSIC continued from page 1 music at Concordia's Concert Hall was mixed. "Most people were not terribly im­pressed because they thought that if it was by Nietzsche it must be bizarre. They were surprised that it was fairly traditional ro­mantic music," Bottenberg explained. "Nietzsche was more conservative than people think.'.'

His involvement with the music won't

end with the release of this CD. Bottenberg hopes to arrange Nietzsche's orchestral compositions for a future release. And he would like to write a book on Nietzsche, the composer.

"If he had put into music the talent and energy that he put into philosophy, he would have been one of the world's great compos­ers," he said.

Concordia holds its first TA orientation

Teaching how to teach ii Moscovitch

"If you need any help," I remember tel ling the students in Religion 21 I, "just give me a call." But until this year, teaching assis­tants like me in need of support and advice had nowhere to tum.

Concordia held the first of two TA orien­tation sessions on September 10; the second will be on October l. I was one of nearly l 00

Astronauts and Princes

chat with Concordia hams

TAs from the Faculty of Arts and Science who spent the morning listening to talks on such topics as teaching and learning styles, culture and gender, and rights and responsi­bilities. In the afternoon we split up into smaller workshops.

Concordia is one of the only Canadian universities to offer TA training.

I picked up the brand-new TA handbook - chock full of information on everything from sexual harassment to preparing for a first lecture - and headed into the J.A. DeSeve Cinema for the morning session.

No borders here

Behind the door of a tiny room in the Henry F. Hall Building is a world where borders and miles mean little. Voices from every continent crackle over the shortwave radio, and written messages from as far away as a Russian space station pop up on a computer screen.

"You really come across interesting per­sonalities," said Michael Ross, president of Concordia's ham radio club. He has con­tacted hundreds of people. And because the communication is made with radio waves, not phone lines, his chats with astronauts, King Hussein's son in Jordan, or with any of the approximately one million hams around the globe, are free.

Towers and antennas

"It's nice to keep in touch with friends ," said Luca Martini, one of the club's 80 members. Martini helped connect the cables from equipment in the sixth-floor club room to the four towers and eight antennas on the roof of the Hall Building.

Since 1978, when Ross revived the dor­mant club, the facilities have expanded to include computers, television and cameras as well as the worldwide shortwave, and the VHF and the UHF (very high and ultra high frequencies) radios for local contacts.

The club filmed the opening of the R. Howard Webster Library in October 1992, and transmitted the event live to monitors throughout the Hall Building. As well as hamming it up downtown and at the year­old station at the Loyola Campus, they have helped out in times of crisis.

"We intervened during the 1985 earth­quake in Mexico City, relaying messages for students who wanted to know if their relatives were OK," said Ken Shea, a nine­year veteran. When hurricanes ravaged parts of Florida last year and knocked out the telephone system, the club helped a Montreal woman contact her father in Fort Lauderdale.

Danielle Guillaume, who got her ham li­cence less than a year ago and has already talked with a radio operator in the Antarctic, describes her hobby as "having wings." A true ham, the former Theatre student carries a walkie-talkie that allows her to use the school's radio equipment from wherever she happens to be.

"This is one of the rare occasions when people come together to learn about teach­ing," said Ron Smith. He's the Director of the Learning Development Office, which is open to anyone interested in improving their teaching methods.

Combat discrimination

Professor Marilyn Taylor, of the Depart­ment of Applied Social Science, stressed the importance of fighting discriminatory be­haviour. To combat unequal treatment of students by TAs and professors, she recom­mended two videos, A Tale ofO and Ineq­uity in the Classroom. Both are available through Audio Visual/3445.

Taylor emphasized that "most of us do not want to practice discriminatory behaviour - quite the opposite." But Communication Studies Professor Bill Gilsdorf illustrated just how pervasive the problem can be.

Ten years ago, Gilsdorf was sitting in a classroom waiting for the professor to ar­rive: "This is liberal Bill - I'm sitting in front when a short black man in a T-shirt and jeans walks in and erases the board. I think, the janitor's walked in."

It turned out he was the professor. "He

was a powerful speaker, but for the first 20 minutes I couldn't pay attention," Gilsdorf recalled. "I was trying to come to grips with the racism within me."

Hands-on training was the key to the af­ternoon sessions. Fifteen minutes into the Grading Essays Workshop, English Profes­sor Chris Armstrong had us marking a sam­ple essay. At a workshop on lecturing by History Professor Graeme Decarie, TAs were getting up and delivering short lec­tures.

Hungry

Thomas Haig, a doctoral student in Com­munication Studies who took part in the workshop, said: "I've been hungry for something like this. We need more student­oriented teaching. We 're expected to walk into a classroom and communicate with stu­dents ... and a lot of the time we've had bad teachers ourselves."

English Professor Chris Armstrong, one of the organizers of the event, said he hopes to expand it to other Faculties in the future.

Phil Moscovitch is a teaching assistant in Religion.

NSERC names two to Council A fund-raising executive and a mechani­

cal engineering professor have been ap­pointed to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) for terms of three years.

Michele Thibodeau-DeGuire has been president and chief executive officer of Centraide since 1991. Before that, the civil engineering graduate worked in the private sector. In 1982, she was appointed the Quebec government's delegate-general to New England.

Hoda E!Maraghy has been at McMaster University since I 977. She is the founding director of the Centre for Flexible Manufac­turing, and a project leader, principal inves­tigator and member of the board of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Sys­tems, a federal Network of Centres of Ex­cellence.

NSERC is the largest granting agency supporting university research in Canada.

In February 1992, Concordia Universiry adopted a policy on degree nomenclature that seeks to provide students with the opportunity to graduate

with gender neutral degree tides. This policy stipulates that students are entitled to receive their degrees in either the traditional or new degree nomenclature.

The new names for degrees are: Baccalaureate, Magisteriate, and Doctorate. The traditional nomenclature is: Bachelor, Master, and Doctor.

The decision to implement new tides arose from the belief that some of the structures that presently exist at Concordia and other universities reflect a period when women were not accepted as full participants in the academic community.

The University felt it was time to offer degree tides that do not refer explicitly or implicitly only to men.

As of June 1994, students may choose to graduate with degree tides that are gender neutral and refer to the diplomas themselves. Graduates who have

previously been awarded a Concordia degree will be able to request that their degree be re-issued in the new nomenclature.

This policy will be reviewed in five years.

Plaques dedicated to Arthur Andersen & Cie

Two plaques were unveiled recently to honour generous contributions made by the accounting firm Arthur Andersen & Cie, its charitable foundation and individual partners.

The first plaque acknowledges the $20,000 gift made by the above-mentioned combination of donors. The second honours a personal contribution made by Melvin Zwaig, division head of Financial Reorganizing for the company. He is a charter member of the Rector's Circle, the top echelon of donors to the University.

Zwaig and Robert Simioni, President of the Loyola Alumni Association and a partner in Arthur Andersen, were guests of honour at the unveilings. ·

Both plaques are located in the R. Howard Webster Library. PHOTO: Jonas Papaurelis

Ignore 'gloom and doom merchants': Vice-Rector

Sheinin receives Ryerson Fellowship Citing her contributions to science and to

the advancement of women, Ryerson Poly­technic University has awarded Vice-Rec­tor, Academic Rose Sheinin one of 10 Ryerson Fellowships, the University's high­est honorary award.

In accepting the award, Sheinin praised Ryerson for taking a lead role in "opening doors and removing barriers to women in higher education." She thanked Audrey Herrara, the first Ryersonian to invite She­inin to participate in career workshops for young women at the high school level, and Rosemary Volpe, Ryerson 's first Officer for the Status of Women, for breaking signifi-

cant ground for women in academic life. In her address to the Engineering and

Applied Social Science Convocation on June 16, Sheinin told graduates to look ahead to the future with confidence and determination, and not to pay attention to "the gloom and doom merchants who fill our media vacuums. My plea, and my ad­vice to you, is forget them, do not heed them.

"It is the pundits who emerged from yes­teryear who are bleating and beating the sad drums of their lost past. Pay them no mind, except to understand that before you lies a challenging and exciting future." -MO

FQPPU elects executive The Federation quebecoise des pro­

fesseu res et professeurs d'universite (FQPPU) has elected its executive commit­tee.

Mear (Universite du Montreal), Jean Goulet (Universite de Sherbrooke), Marc Richard (McGill University), Jonathan Rittenhouse (Bishop's University), and Benoit Beaucage (Universite du Quebec a Rimouski) .

The vote took place at the group 's biennial meeting, held May 5-7.

Akai keyboard allows users to play sheet music

Archives sings praises of recent acquisition Alkal/ay

Archives has acquired a state-of-the-art electronic keyboard through the Univer­sity's affinity card fund-raising programme.

The Concordia Archives has one of the best collections anywhere of sheet music, with more than 3,000 pieces, many of them valuable historical artifacts of Montreal's popular and jazz artists.

Now the steady stream of musicians and researchers who visit Archives to see the collection can try pieces out, rather than just try to play them in their heads - and with headphones, so as not to disturb anybody else working in the Archives.

The Akai keyboard is capable of changing speed, tempo and instrumentation. Depend­ing on the copyright of a piece, a musician can play it on his or her own software and work with it at leisure, improvising on an old number or basing a new piece on the old.

Sheet music is a fast-disappearing art form, said Archives Director Nancy Mar-

relli. Young people may not even know what it is. Many more homes had pianos in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s than now. Popular music was sold to fans, who played and sang it for themselves.

The covers of"Blooming Roses," "Dance of the Merry Legs" and "The Bride Shop," delicately illustrated in pastels, reflect a gentler time of innocence. The photographs on some sheets are sometimes the only photo available of a particular band or singer popular at the time.

Many pieces in the collection, as well as a number of rare 78-rpm records, ·were do­nated by Alex Robertson, a music-lover who collected sheet music for 40 years. In 1986, shortly before his death, he donated his collection to the Archives.

After several years in a building on lower Guy St., the Archives, which stores Univer­sity records and artifacts as well as special­ized collections, was moved to the tenth floor of the Henry F. Hall Building.

Musicians and researchers interested in trying out the keyboard can make an ap­pointment by calling 848-7775.

Coffee with the Vice-Rector, Academic Members of the Concordia Community, students, non-academic per­

sonnel and faculty:

I would be pleased to have you come and have coffee with me, if you

can make it for any of the following evenings this term: Wednesday,

September 29; Wednesday, November 3; and Tuesday, December 7,

after 7:30 p.m. in Room 231 in the Administration Building on the

Loyola Campus.

Please call Mu nit Merid at 848-484 7 to let me know when you wish to

come. I hope you won't mind if your first choice of date may not be

honoured. The place is only so big.

I do look forward to seeing you and talking with you about Concordia

University. Welcome.
