With a set of strange-sounding

Too many older citizens, Sellers says, are falsely convinced
that they are too old or too heavy

GEORGE MARKETING expert Bruce Mallen gave
Beryl Plumptre so many hassles that she hired him .
Through the Gazette letter page Mallen told the Food Prices
Review Board chairman that it was about time she knuckled down
to an analysis of the entire Canadian food industry.
The only way to dig up the
causes for inflation, he ada major proportion of the food

For the moment, at least,

Plumptre fixed Mallen by
commissioning him to study
the causes and effects of industry concentration in the
Canadian food retailing business and its relation lo economic performance.
"Of course this has nothing
to do - with what I_was talking
about," Mallen observed, smiling. Retailing is only the top of
tl;ie heap; Mallen advocated a
look at the entire industry .
" But it's interesting work ," /
said Mallen, the MBA chairman who has learned not to
bite the hand that helps to .feed
him . It does pay well ,,he said.
Mallen's job as government
consultant is to investigate the
big supermarket chains in 33
cities across the country and to
determ ine what effect their
size has on fo·od prices.
The big stores are considered oligopolies because they
share, with only a few big
counterparts (if not comrades),
Mallen is not convinced that ·
bigness in the food industry
produces higher prices. " You
can still get cheaper food at the
supermarket," he pointed out.
On the other hand, the big
stores may have grown a little
too fat and sluggish in the abience of stiff compe\ition. If
that's the case, Mallen explained, then ·perhaps even
supermarket prices can be
brought down by forcini the

" IT MAY BE a horrible thing to
say," says Loyola's poet-in-resi- .
dence John Newlove, "but one of
the best things that can happen to
a country i s the failure of one of
its major publishing houses." The
former poetry editor with McClelland and Stewart adds: "Per year."
·" What happens," Newlove reasons, "is that somebody new steps
into the gap with new ideas and a
little more boldness." If you believe in Newlove's scheme of
things, the publisher's cycle goes
like this: "As publishers become
established, they become stulti. lied," he says. "It turns into a
regular business again and everything must be ' justified to the
comptroller."

REPORTS
\
UCSL subcommittees' -submissions
Some glimpses of SGW's University Council on Student Life
- meeting September 19, at which
fourteen subcommittee chairmen
reported:
The Athletics Committee had
decided to change its name to
Physical Education & Recreation.
History prof Steve Scheinberg
pointed out that the use of " education" in " Physical Education"
might confuse students into thinking that the committee was concerned with education. Assistant
Dean of Science Fred Bedford
seconded this .interpretation, and
after some debate The· Athletics
Committee remained The AthlePO ET from page 1
the House of Anansi stepped into
the gap. "Once you take a number
of poets on," Newlove says,
"there are no openings for new
poets because all the people you
have are still producing books.
" And that fills up your entire
schedule." Newlove follows Anansi through their establishment
cycle: "As they became stable over
the years, they built up, a number
of writers and they closed off their
openings." And here's the irony
for hopeful writers t!Jinking they' d
have more luck being published by
a small house: "I'm just guessing
on this," Newlove says, " but it's
probably just as hard for a new
poet to break in with Anansi as it
is with McClell~nd and Stewart."
Canada's tiny market continues
to plague the publishing industry.
"We try to balance that off by getting a_ few best sellers a year with the Mowats and Bertons - and,
quite frankly, taking a loss on
most of the other novels and poetry.

" It's mostly published as ' non
margin' which means that if you
sell every copy within the optimum time," Newlove explains,
"you still don't get your investment back."
With most writers and poets !iving in the nowhereland of the 'non
margin', is it possible for poets
to survive? "Yes," Newlove answers with some qualification.
"But it involves an incredibt'e
amount of work ." Unless you' re
a Layton with lots of titles in print
and a good following, he says,
there's no real money in royalties.
"You make most ·of your money
doing reviews, writing articJes and
giving readings.
"And it can be- damn wearisome," he says . . Newlove recalls
a gruelling schedule over a year
and a half ago: "I did a series of
15 readings in two weeks, ranging
from Charlottetown to Los Angeles
to northern B.C.
"And after a while, you get sick
of your own guff." If he didn't
have a regular job, Newlove says,
he'd have to do perhaps three
series a year to make ends meet.

that vaguely defined job of poet-inresidence as "being kind of an

Harvest crunches food co~ts
1
-u you're the type who is prepared to hustle over to St. Lawrence to fight your way through
Warshaw's on a Saturday rilorning, than "Harvest Foods" i not
for you. "Our market," says
Harvest entrepreneur Robbie Dainow, "is frankly for people who
can't be bothered to shop around
for good food prices but still
like to eat fresh fruit and vegetables occasionally."
Harvest Foods is a mini market
that is set up at Sir George every
Thursday to cater to students,
staff and faculty . .It's also great
for anyone who can't be bothered
to pick and choose. For four
bucks, you buy a plastic grab bag
of prepacked fruits and vegetables
guaranteed to save you 60 cents on
supermarket prices.
·
Harvest Foods is committed to
cost cutting. At first they went
an · over the city checking prices
with all the supermarkets. They
even looked into zoning prices
when they heard about superQ?arket policies of setting differ~
ent prices according to area. Now
they compare their pr_ices only
to Steinberg at Queen Mary Road
and Cote des Neiges. They figure
Steinberg 's has pretty much the
lowest prices and 'that ~oning
doesn't really affect · staple products such as theirs.
The bags costthem about $3.10
at a ·wholesale fruit market. At
an 80 to 90 cent profit per bag,
Dainow figures they make just
enough to cover their hours.
Thursdays are fairl y hectic. Dainow and his partner Bill Roszler
gel up at" 5:30 a.m . to make the
market by 7 a.m. They are usually al Sir George unpacking boxes
and setting up the bags around 9
or 10 in the morning. The booth
opens at noon and Dainow or
Roszler will stay there until every
item is sold.
Therein lies the key to their
success. You see, ,Robbie Dainow
badly wanted to undercut Stein-
berg's. He'd been exposed lo the
food buying business by buying
vegetables for a country co-op all
summer long. Somehow he. wanted to, bring this service lo city·
people. He checked prices out
with a wholesaler and discover~
that there was no room for a
middle man between the. wholesaler and Steinberf s. In fact
Steinberg's buying power could
get many items al less than the
wholesale price.
They had to come up with a
gimmick . He figured he could cut
costs if he could be sure of selling everything he bought, cutting
out costly inventory as . well as
wastage. He needed to know how
much to buy and where to sell the
.
stuff.
The bags became the gimmick
and Sir George solved the market.
It doesn't always work . One snow'"storm last spring, Sir George
closed its doors at 2 p.m. Dainow
was sitting there with boxes and
boxes of unsold. vegetables
about 150 bucks' worth of produce.
"I sat there - unhappily for a
while," he said, "then someone
from thr cafeteria came to the
rescue." Finally he stored some
perishables in the cafeteria and
came back the next day to get rid
of the rest.
" It's fun to do," he says, "gives
me some diversion from my
other job~ and some money to
live on. Besides, it's paying for
itself now." They have bought a
truck with the profits.

Psst ! Wanna buy a painting? We. know a Sir

$200,000 worth of the stuff.
Nofthat it's hot, nor is his mother a Bronfman .
It's by way of a favor to fr iend and country that
our man has embarke<l on an incredible moonlight
adventure .
,Gen y Blitstein is director of the Nikon School
and leads a course called " The Spirit of
Photography" out of Continuing Education . One
day six months ago a wealthy South American
' acquaintance Who resides in Montreal mentioned
that he would be shipping some paintings he had
invested in to Europe for sale. " Maybe they
should be in our Canadian museums," piped up
our concerned photographer. "O.K., you do it
and I'll give you a commission ," replied the
ri ch man .
Since then , Blitstein has photographed the
authenticated treasure trove and, in the course
of his regular working travels, has popped in .
on private galleries, museums. auction houses
and private collectors across Canada. His
package of twelve includes works by Degas,
Gu illaumin, Utrillo, Trouillebert, Albert Anker,
David Roberts, Jacobus Mancadam and Lepine.
No takers so far , but six of them will soon go on
show as part of a British Columbia gallery's
major exhibition devoted to Barbizon and
Impressionist artists.
Blitstein's favorite of the lot is the Guillaumin ,
a riverbank scene that " really trips my trigger
with its mood of tranquility." But in his travels
he hasn't had occasion to discuss aesthetics with
anyone. And this is his big-time moonlighting
lesson : " What I thought would be an adventure
in the realm of the absolute artistic purity of all
time has shown me nothing but incredibly distorted
values," he reports . " The value of'a painting is
never based on the pleasure it gives - nobody
even cares what the picture looks like. People's
value just is money," he says. A Montreal private
collector wanted to put up $15,000 for the Utrillo
sight unseen - " he didn't even care if it measured
two inches by fou r inches." Actually Blitstein
has the Utrillo, a Paris street scene, marked at
$60,000. " It's $60,000 and not $25,000 on.ly
because. there 's lots of white and a fence in it. "
he confides. Then there's the Degas sketch of a
horse which draws precious little sympathy from
our, horseman-photographer: " If you saw it in
Old Montreal you might be willing to go $~O or
$20 for it. Degas knocked these off in a few
minutes and it's worth around $24 ,000."
While Blitstein chafes at the art world 's
manipulations that have nothing to do wi th
aesthetics, he is still up to his task " having fun
playing it just for the game." He has learned
how' people think of artists, and that's important
in his field . He has been turned on by opening
doors.he never used to: " The Dominion Gallery
has so many Rod ins it just blows your mind ."
If a deal goes through , he'll make enough for a
down payment on a farm , a dream he kno~s will
come true anyway. And throughout he has
maintained a sense of wonderment about the
whole crazy business. " I still th ink it's too
bizarre to actually material ize," he says, " that
Yankee Blitstein from Willowdale should ver
sell $200,000 worth of fine art. "
No deprivation for Sir George
drop-out
Don Berrardinucci has been in and out of three
moonlighting spots in the last couple·of years .
For a time the Loyola econom ics professor
was also teaching at McG ill and Sir George
while at the same time doing research on the
price elasticity of demand for telephone
calls at Bell.
Money was never foremost in his mind when
he signed on for any of his four posts. The
McGill lecturing and the Bell research were
merely continuations of his graduate work.
As for Loyola and Sir George (his aim~ mater)
he had applied to both with the hope of finding
work at one. He got it at Loyola, and within
a week , Sir George was calling for him . " They
were desperate," he says qi Sir George, so
he helped them out.
This year Berrardinucci dropped out of
McGill and Sir George and, as he put it
jokingly, "sent my wife out to work. "
Actually, she had wanted to get out, he says,
and now that he would be able to spend more
time at home with their children she jumped
at the chance.
Berrardinucci says he earns enough money
and has suffered no great deprivation since
retiring from Sir George and McGill. He's
only just out of graduate school and so his
standard of living is relatively modest,
he explains.
What about inflation? He figures the salary
. increments gjven to all university faculty by the
Quebec government are sufficient to keep him

Strange Justice
Someone said a Lakeshore teacher had
committed homosexual acts with his students.
, " It all started with' a rumour," says Assistant
to the Rector Stirling Dorrance. " Ol)e kid
, went to his parents and said this guy was a
homosexual and the parents said 'It's a rumour .
Forget it. ' And another kid went to his parents
and said the guy was a homosexual and they
went to a relative who_taught at the school,
and the teacher went to the principal and the
guy was suspended from teaching ."
That's also how Dorrance got started on his
moonlighting project which he describes as
" writing a case study of injustice."
That was three and a half years. ago. For
Dorrance, the intervening period in which
some of the combatants died has meant
three b'ook drafts. For the accused, the time
has been spent fighting but still he can't
teach .
" His whole life was with kids," Dorrance
says, pointing out that the mid-thirty-yearold's eccentric habits played easily into the
~ands of his accusers. ' 'He had a drop-in
spot for the kids." Dorrance said the dismissed
teacher spent a lot of his time organizing
handball , football and other games, scrappling
for equipment all the way . "He got no
·cooperation, " Dorrance says. "He was an
activist teacher.;.Summerhill, the whole bit.
"He did everything contrary to the school's
thrust," Dorrance explains. "And you can
make all kinds of inferences as to why they'd
like to get rid of him ." According to Dorrance,
he did the work ol five teachers.
Anyway, as Dorrance tells it, the school
authorities pulled testimony like teeth from
the kids to put the finishing suspension
touches on the victim. Parents were presented
with the suspension news after the fact.
A groundswell of doubt about the school's
handling of the affair produced an ad hoc
committee. As one of the witnesses realized
the import-of his and his feflows' actions in
destroying the teacher, they approached
Words as social climbers
Only eighty or so years ago, a bum was
either a backside, a bailiff or a beating,
without connotations of vagrancy or mendicancy.
A bulldozer was a bully, a braggart or _a pistol,
and the earthmoving machinery we know had not
been dreamed of. Such are the metamorphoses
of slang or jargon or pop-speak: some sad
poverty of invention drives each succeeding
generation to chew over the gnawed leavings of
its predecessors, eventually to regurgitate them
in an even more mangled form , or even,
freakishly, to sp'it them up to a higher social or
economic level than they enjoyed before. A quiz,
for instance, has an academic air now, but when
it was introduced to the English language by a
gentleman who betted, frivolously but soundly,
that he c;ould bring a new synthetic word into
use, it meant a mere query; now it has swelled
into proportions of nightmare respectability on
the school and college scene.
Moonlighting has had a similar rise: from the
gutter to at least the upper middle class, in only
thre~ generations. In the 1880's, moonlighting
was associated with smuggling, particularly of
illegally produced spirits, or what we would call
moonshine. It was, uns1trprisingly, the Irish who
were able to give the \\'.Ord heavy undertones of
political thuggery:
(Moonlighters were) men enforcing the
• decrees of secret societies by violence.
Their action was confined to the western
counties, and their raids were nooturnal,
whence the name. Their notices were signed
'Captain Moonlight.'

But these usages were secondary. The prime

the moonlighter is probably the most aseptic
synonym.

of testimony reversing most of what was
sai<ragainst the teacher. The committee
began collecting notarized statements from
the kids.
Meanwhile, hearings were hard to get ~cause
of school board reorganization and the teacher's
fate continued in limbo. An arbitration board
was set up in the end and a judgment one way
or the other should pe coming soon .
Of the four witnesses that gave testimony in
the end, three were discounted , Dorrance

strong case against the teacher, Dorrance
says. One witness appeared to make a

Meanwhile the teacher waits . "And he doesn't
like having to go around behaving.as if he's ·
innocent all the time, " says Dorrance.
Both McClelland & Stewart and Prentice Hall
have expressed an interest in publishing the
case study.

John Smola and his family moved a few years
back to live with 5000 fish .
The idea came to Concordia's vice-rector, ,
(finance) when he was employed at Maison's.
·Always looking for good prospects in new fields,
the brewery put Smola onto a study of trout
farms. The prospects turned out to be too
" piddly" for Maison's, Smola re.calls: But the
idea stuck with him and today he owns a 250acre !(out farm in the Eastern Townships.
"It's a tricky business,", Smola says of
maintaining a proper population balance in his
ponds. "It's important to keep their numbers
down and to ensure that they feed off flies and
smaller fish ."
Proper diet, he continues, is essential for
breeding trout that are marketable for their
"northern gamey tang". He suppleroents their

less than Canadian trout.
When the Smola family started trout farming
they paid $100 for 1000 finger-length babies. It

to grow to eating size, Smola says.
He insists that he's farming for pleasure, not

" How did the bizarre suggestion,come about?"
Transcript asked, shaken by the disclosure.
According to Decarie, it all started about a year
and a half ago when the folks at CBC 'discovered'
him while he was giving a talk on "The Houses
we Lived In" at the Protestant School Board .
He was invited to repeat the theme - how
winding staircases weaved their way from
Brit!llnY and wound up in downtown Montreal in studio aod has found himself in demand ever
since .
Decarie has an odd, sometimes unpopular,
view of history: He-explodes historical myths
and tries touncover class prejudices. For
instance, he has done a great deal of research
to dismantle the notion that French Canadians
have occupied the bottom rung of the economic
ladder and concludes that it's been the Irish
immigrant who has had to undergo the hardest
slog . It turned out that the CBC loved his cop_y_.
So, it turns out, did the National Film Board .

that were reinforced by the law of the land;
moonlighting was, and still rs, a serious offense
in the unionist context. Union fines, expulsions
and legal penalties can be imposed and the

mobility is ar:i in_volvement in the tragi-comedy
of middle-class survival . Ground between the
upper millstone of taxation and inflation, and the
nether stone of a living standard regarded as
basic, the bourgeoisie, petite or haute, have
taken to moonlighting with a more than
proletarian passion, using the old word with a
kitschy new twist. Daddy refers to his out-ofoffice-hours employments (income tax advice,
quiet abortions, cut-rate engineering
consultations, for example) as moonlighting .
Mummy peddles her ceramics, child photography
or twenty-year-old teaching skills, and she's
moonlighting too. The children pay for cars and
clothes with disk-jockeying or pushing, and it's
all moonlighting, and it's all fun .
From the direction moonlighting is taking, we
can expect to see.it as the universal solution of
our social and economic ills. Bishops will
moonlight as PR men for Lewr Brothers and
Proctor and Gamble,. since cleanliness is next

Cabinet ministers will moonlight at Crown and
• Anchor games in midways from sea to sea,
dentists at locksmithing, and plumbers at the
simpler sorts of surgery. Moonlight plumbing
will be done by nuns with Fordham Ph .D.s.
Our only deliverance from this creeping
betrayal of the workers' revolution is total
revolution. If the glummer economic prophets
are right, and the whole system crashes, th.e
shock may return us to something like sanity.

For students who need or want tQ

possibilities:

dictate your own terms." He's into philosophy,
history, and humanities of science courses.
Money to Johnny is power, "power to get
people to do what you want them to do" without
having to hassle. It also means this young
man's basic comforts - an apartment, women,
books, records and a never-ending supply of
drugs. Johnny doesn't keep track of what he
makes; while some months can bring in $1-2000 ,
he puts school before work (big dealers can
make $1000 a week). " If I wasn't in this business
I'd be at a regular sales job Thursday through
Saturday so that my studies wouldn 't suffer,"
he says .
And school is "easier than working ." Johnny
calls himself··a "clearing agent" for soft drugs.
People phone him to say what they have; if he
likes the price and quality he picks it up and
adds on a markup, ranging from $5 per pound on a
quantity of 100 pounds to $150 on the single pound.
There are usually several deals going on at once.

The Lisbon Connection
" At this very moment the papers are sitting
in Lisbon," says Sir George film Conservatory
director Serge Losique, carefully trying to
fram, his answer.
As it happens, both Serge Losique and his wife,
Mimi, are waiting for a favourable answer.
" You can't find anyone in Quebec," sighs the
f ilm enthusiast,." who is willing to work hard
and who also know·s sheep."
The Losiques are becoming desperate as they
watch·their investment interests plummet
·
to neV' lows. At the moment their 200 sheep,
four horses, twelve chickens, seven·cats and
eight puppies are eating away at the profits.
Cost-cutting was introduc.ed . Mrs. Losique,
an English instructor at Sir George, got
herself registered as a farmer , giving her a
chance to claim tax rebates on farm equipment
purchases. You have to have a minimum of
14 acres - the Losiques have a 250 acres
spread - to be able to register.
(Rumour has it, that if you're a registered
farmer and y~u attempt to seed a briar patch with
Chinese water chestnuts and fail to produce
a crop, you can get a tax rebate by asking the
right government chap where you went wrong .)
The Losiques have struck a deal with the local
ski hill magnate near Mansonville, a move
that could save the day for this very shaky sheep
farm . Losique says that his sheep will get free
grazing nibbles in exchange for keeping the
Owl's Head ski hill well groomed:
Last year's ret_urn was bleak: Losique claims
that he sold 45 lamb at $30 a head , a figure
he says doesn't even pay for hired help.
But Losique insists: " I never do anything for
money."
''I'm a man of nature," he says. Still , losing ·
money isn't much fun as Losique waits with some
anticipation for an answer from Lisbon :
" Everybody's counting on the Portuguese
shepherd," he says.
Fool's advice
Gerry Trudel just dropped $8000 but th is
Loyola chemistry prof ~ouldn't be happier for it.
It's all to do with bitter-sweet ambition. Come
bis mid-thirties a man gets the feel ing that he
had better make his mark, and he believes
he can make it by doing two or three things at
once, Trudel explains.
When Trudel set out to make his mark, events
moved rather quickly from a $600-a-month
consulting business to partnership with two
associates in a company manufacturing lowcost housing.
'
For a time life was sweet indeed for Trudel
and his family . The federal trade and commerce
department approached his company and together
they negotiated a contract with the Venezuelan
government. He spent a month in South America
at the Canadian government's expense. He was
wined and dined in only the very best places.
He could even· afford to send his daughters to
private school.
" The standard of living was just staggering,"
says Trudel , a Mont St. Hillaire resident .
Before long, however, everything became too
hard to handie. Debts were mounting. His family
t<;>ok second r;,lace to his work and he sometimes
was on the road 20 hours a day, seven days a
week . In the end , he sold his outside interests.
It was a great fling , he admits, but he's
happier this year. He has9't the money to send
his daughters back to pri~ate school so he gets
to see them more ·o ften . And, he says, he can
concentrate on his work at Loyola.
For the ambitious, Trudel has this " fool 's
advice" : " There's no easy way to make a
million."
A final note
Never submit to stir a finger in any business
but that for which you were particularly hired .
For example, if the groom be drunk or absent,
and the butler be ordered to shut the stable
door, the answer is ready, An please your honour,
I don't understand horses; if a corner of the
hanging wants a single nail to fasten it, and the
footman be directed to tack it up, he may say,
he doth not understand that sort of work, but
his honour may send for the upholsterer.
Masters and ladies are usually quarrell ingwith the servants for not shutting the doors
after them: but neittier masters nor ladies
consider, that those doors must be open before
they can be shut, and that the labour is double
to open· and shut the doors ; therefore the best,
the shortest, and easiest way is to do neither .
But if you are so often te ized to shut the door,
that you cannot easily forget it , then give the
door such a clap as you go out, as will shake
the whole room , and make every thing rattle
in it, to put your master and lady in tnind that
you observe their directions .
LETTERS
I feel I must reply to your
article in the September 12 edition, "Loyola-Sir
George to
team up" .
Firstly I think it is very unprofessional of Mr. George Short
to announce his opinions regarding
the merge of athletics . when a
task. force has been set up and is
currently meeting to discuss this
very issue. Secondly, it comes
as news to me that Loyola Athletic Chief "Ed Enos" agrees with
the merging of teams, since our
department, including Dr. Enos,
is on record as being oppos~ to
that concept at the present time.
I, for one, would be very sorry
to see that great rivalry that has
spawned so much spirit and so
many memorable occasions for
· thousands of Sir Geo'rge and Loyola students over the past ten
years terminated without due deliberation.
It seems to me that there are
more
important considerations
than winning the Canadian College
Hockey Championship_: not that
, combining hockey teams will guarantee that elusive gbal.
I tl')ink careful consideration has
to be given to the many students
. currently ori- both campuses who
are
capable of playing varsity
level sports and the unique qualitites of both institutions which
are often expressed in very vi-
If you find yourself to grow into favour with
your master or lady, take some opportunity, in a very,'mild way, to give them warning ; and
when they ask the reason, and seem loth to part
with you , answer that you would rather live
with them, than any body else, but a poor
servant is not to be blamed if he strives to
better himself; that service is no inheritance,
that your work is great, and your wages very
small : upon which, if your master hath any
generosity, he will add five or ten shillings a
quarter rather than let you go: but, 'if you are
baulked , and have no mind to go off, get some
fellow-servant to tell your master, that he hath
prevailed upon you to stay. •
Whatever good bits you can pilfer in the day,
save them to junket with your fellow-servants at
night, 'and take in the butler, provided he will
give you drink .
.
Write your own name and your sweet-heart's
with the smoak of a candle on the roof of the
kitchen , or the servants hall , to shew your
learning .
If you are a young sightly fellow, whenever
y ou whisper your mistress at the table, run
your nose full in her cheek, or if your breath
be good , breathe full in her face ; this I know to
,
have had very good consequences in some families .
Never come till you have been called three or
four times ; for none but dogs will come at the
first whistle; and when the master calls , Who's
.there? no servant is bound to c9me ; for Who 's
there is no body's name.
Appointments
sible form by our rc;presentatives
on the field of play. There are
other arguments too numerous to
mention for the retention of separate teams in certain sports.
I certainly cann.9t agree with
Mr. Short's statement that separate
teams represent duplication. A similar argument used in
other university areas would see
all Sir George students studying
at the Loyola library or Loyola
students eating at the Sir George
cafeteria.
I agree with Dr. O'Brien's statement in a recent issue of the
Concordian, "You need to make
a
careful inventory of all resources, physical
and financial
and • h_ow they are being used
before you caJ consider their integration. If you move too quickly
you can end up with one great
mess - and a lot of disappointed
people".
I think that a great number of
students, faculty and staff of both
institutions also will agree with
Dr. O' Brien's statement: Athletics
is certainly an important
enough area to be given the same
thoughtful consideration before integration
as is currently being
given to other faculties and de-pw;tments.
