Ronald Sutherland speaks at Concordia

Neither doomsday 1 nor heaven

in Quebec's future By Beverley Smith

Given a choice between the gloomy forecasts of Quebec's "doomsday philosophers" and the starry-eyed predictions of its "evangelical visionaries", most Quebecers would reject either extreme and vote in favour of middle · class comfort.

That's the view of Ronald Sutherland, professor of English at the Universite de Sherbrooke, who spoke last Wednesday at the invita tion of Concordia's Political Science department on "Quebec: Scenarios of the Fu ture".

A Quebecer of Italian and Scottish descent, raised in east end M ontreal, Sutherland has writtery a number of books and articles on the issues preoccupying Quebecers, including Second Image (1971) and The New Hero (1977). He is also an occasional columnist for The Gazette.

Although he's often called on to "speak for English Canada", Sutherland professes he's more familiar with French Quebec. Most of his contacts are with French-speaking working class members of his family or French-speaking intellectuals at the university where he works.

will of the people . The evangelical missionaries, on the other hand, overestimate .themselves, projecting visions pr desires "which are often unrelated to the will of the people" .

Doomsday scenarios for Quebec in the event of separation says Sutherland, range from economist Bouvier's predictions of a loss of 300,000 jobs and an employment rate of SO per cent, to novelist Roch Carrier's predictions of civil war, to the paranoia of ex-navy commander Andrews, author of Bilingual Today , French Tomorrow , who sees "a French plot in the naming of cars Parisienne".

On the o ther side of the coin, says Sutherland, there are evangelical visionaries wuch as Camille Laurin , whose visions of "cultural purity" Sutherland considers w orrisome and dangerous .

Most Quebecers, Sut herland maintains, are somewhere in between .

"The will of the people will prevail. I don't see either of these extreme scenarios winning out."

Sutherland believes in the "common sense" of Quebecers. He contends that they are main!¼ interested in maintaining certain "middle cl..bs

Concordia submits briefs to research

·workshops By Michael Sotiron

,. '

The last ot the (,luebec government workshops on the green paper on scientific research was held on Friday, November 8. The university participated in the two sessions (October 18 and 30) which dealt with university research.

of common interest and to encourage and guide the decision-making process ' which will commence shortly". Also in attendance was the Education Minister Jean-Yvon Morin. '

Camille Laurin, the Minister of State for Cultural Development sponsored the meetings to "pinpoint certain areas There's no shortage of predictions,

says Sutherland, about what will happen in Quebec, but the real problem is one of communication. For example, reports on the consequences of the separa tion of Q uebec from · Canada, such as the one carried out by Universite de Sherbrooke economist Emile Bouvier, have been suppressed, Sutherland states . He also points to the number of "secret documents" politicians keep uncovering, of which the public is unaware.

Art psychologist

According to Michel Despland, Concordia's official representative at the workshops, the nature· and aims of the two sessions in which the university participated were quite different.

The October 18 workshop concerned research at the "grassroots" level and dealt with the views of those actively pursuing it. At this workshop, Paul Fazio, the Director of the Centre for Building Studies and an invited_ participant, submitted a brief.

Another problem he says, is that ) "you can find documentation to support any possible position you want to take" . This leaves Quebecers easy prey for extremists of all k inds .

Prophets, says Sutherland,. usually fall into two categories: the "prophets of doom" or the "evangelical visionaries" . The predictions of both groups, he says, are usually wrong. The prophets of doom tend to underestimate 'the resourcefulness and

Arnheim to lecture ' ,

The internationally known psychologist and author of several important works on art and perception, Rudolf Arnheim, will present a lecture on "Visual Thinking" on Thursday, November 22 .

Arnheim has been concerned with the fundamentals of artistic perception and expression throughout his teaching and writing career.

As a student of psychology at the University of Berlin, in the 1920s, he was profoundly influenced by his mentors Max Wertheimer and Wolfgang Kohler, founders of the Gestalt School.

Arnheim has been an avid student and critic of the arts since the 1930s

when his first major work Film as Art · was published .

Since that time, Arnheim has dealt with the fundamentals of artistic ,.. expression and perception in such works as Art and Visual Perception: A Psychology of the Creative Eye (1954), Towards a Psychology of Art (1966), Visual Th inking (1969) and The Dy namics of Architectural Form (1977).

His interests encompass architecture, the fine arts, cinema, dance and sculpture.

Arnheim will be presenting his one­hour lecture, fol1owed by a question period, Thursday November 22, at 7:30 p .m ., in Room H-101 of the Hall Building, Sir George campus. BS

The October 30 session, however, dealt with university research on a highe~ level, that of determining broad policy and aims. At this session, the heads of Quebec universities were invited to present their views.

Due to the illness of the Rector John O 'Brien, Despland represented the universi ty. Simila r to the other workshops, Despland reported, the October 30 session involved submitting a brief that a ealt with four groups of questions posed by Dr. Laurin.

The first set of questions was about planning. The consensus of the meeting, Despland noted, was that

See Research page 2

Research continued from page 1.

there definitely had to be planning and that there should be effective communica tion between those doing the research and those setting policy aims.

The second set of questions dealt with establishing the precise roles of those defining policy or as Despland

, put it, "who does what in the · definition of policy". The participants agreed there was a definite role here for a minister in the cabinet, especially one who did not· have to supervise a large organization, such as the Minister of State.

An important role for the Conseil des universitJs was also seen. The general feeling of the workshop was • that the Conseil should advise the Minister of Education about scientific

' research. For that reason, the Conseil should have a staff of senior researchers to help the state define policy.

Another sentiment expressed was that-the universities should continue to set their own priorities, but that inter­university collaboration should definitely increase.

The third question concerned the evaluation of research. At the workshop, Despland indicated that no matter how well-drafted a bill on the subject, nothing would happen unless the evaluation-of research was good .. And there is much room for improvement, he said, in the present state of research evaluation. -

• He. pointed out that at present the Universite du Quebec and Concordia were the only two universities in Quebec with internal evaluation proceedings· of graduate research.

During this session, the vital question of equipment, and which institution gets what, came up. Since

researchers tend to follow the location of equipment, its placement should be carefully considered. Despland thought that in the case where no existing facility for equipment existed, the , equipment should be distributed fairly.

Furthermore, even in the case of an existing facility; such as McGill's Oceanographic Institute for example, the dispatching of such equipment (and facilities) to a place such as l'Universite du Quebec a Rimouski should not be automatically ruled out.

Yet, he did note that when certain researche~ already existed in a certain location, that should be a prime factor in determining the placement of equipment germane to that research.

The fourth item was concerned with the linking of finances and research policy. It is not. a surprise, according to Despland, that the heads of universities chose this moment to press their claims for more funding.

For his part, however, he recommended a review of the actual costs of each university in order to determine a more equitable system of financing the various universities.

Giving his overall impression of the workshops, Despland thought that Camille Laurin and his team had carefully studied the briefs and clearly understood their contents.

On October' 18, Paul Fazio submitted his answers to three general questions about the crea tion ahd running of the Centre for Building Studies and his opinions about the -requirements for the establishment of other research centres. (Michel Despland contributed the answer to the fourth question which concerned itself with the philosophical aspects of research) . ,

At the first session of the workshop, Fazio observed that the Centre for Building Studies could serve as a model for research centres within the university context. He described the creation of the centre as meeting the needs of the building industry through its curriculum and programs of research and development.

Although the centre receiv:es grants from industry itself, he said part of the centre's budget should be assurred through direct government funding. This was important, he stressed, since it would permit the centre to plan effectively and assign blocs of research time.

Equally important, it wou1d enable

the· centre to assure part of its staff the security necessary to conduct long-range research . ·

At the second session, Fazio pointed out how the research centre differed from traditional engineering departments through its direct interaction with the building industry. In this regard, he mentipned the creation of a special library concerning all aspects of building engineering, also available to the industry itself .

At the last session, Fazio outlined the prerequisites for the development of research grops and centres as follows: 1. the identification of regional priorities and a constant awareness of the changing needs of the community; 2 . the organization of a research team capable of maintaining indi_vidual research aims among its members, but also able at the same time to orient their research aims to the overall goals established by the centre; 3. the assurance of sup.port from government, industry and university; 4. the generation of university interests so as to assure the support of other members of the faculty.

To meet these conditions, Fazio believed that it was important to have researche~s involved or represented on all levels of policy and decision- ' making.

Looking out _ ·for no.1

By Louise Ratelle . Taking care of Number One will be

the order of the day on November 24 when Concordia music therapist Annette Reiner and Gestalt synergist Lise Carpentier host their one-day workshop at the Lacolle Centre's country retreat.

The workshop's emphasis will be on demonstrations, group exercises and one-to-one work utilizing Gestal~ therapy and music therapy. Reiner's ·guided imagery, musical improvisation and movement to music will all be part of the techniques, along with Carpentier' s_process integrating Gestalt therapy, the F.M. Alexander technique and the Feldenkrais Method.

The tranquil surroundings of Lacolle's country retreat are expected to induce a comfortable atmosphere for the day, which will run from 9: 30 a .m. to 4: 30 p.m. Registration is limited to 30 persons, and the fee is $30 per person. Participants must provide their own~ lunches, and comfortable clothes should be worn, says Reiner.

LETTERS To the Editor:

I would like to clarify some misunderstandings arising from my letter published in your November 1st issue. My intent was not to criticize

'Rose Tekel, Pat Morley, or Principal Verthuy's daughter. All of these women are talented and competent and have a great deal to offer·. I regret any discomfort that my remarks may have caused them and I apologise to each one of them personally. -

I had intended rather to question the appropriateness of the judgments of the Coordinator of Women's Studies and the Principal of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute in thier specific use of these ·people in the present context.

Is it possible that a course which is supposed to be at the advanced level within a specific discipline can at the same time function as the advanced integrative interdisciplinary seminar for Women's Studies students?

Is it possible for one person to teach at the introductory level in an interdisciplinary cours.e which normally has between 50 to 100 students as effectively as two persons drawn from different disciplines and aided by three mature conference leaders?

It is important that the present discussion not be diverted away· from issues of principle to personal issues. There are important questions that still

wait to be answered by the three people most responsible for the ' present situation in Women's Studies and the Sjmone de Beauvoir Institute: the coordinator, the principal, and the provost. .

So far we have been told that the change was due to a need to purify the institute from externa l pressures and to bring it to a solid academic base. Both of these explanations have been challenged. The institute had not been under the direction of outside forces ; and the programme had a solid academic base. We are still waiting. then for more satisfactory explanations.

We know that all things can be turned towards the good . The present public debate is necessary only until such a time as the institute and programme once again open themselves to internal discussion and dissent. We must be grateful to the freedom of the press for allowing us to be able to explain and question when administrative structures break down.

It is my firm h(?pe that the present painful but important reflection will lead to an eventual renewal of Women's Studies and of the Simone de Beauvoir Institute. It is now up to those in charge to respond as openly and creatively as possible.

.. Surreal phot~s, magas-like drawings to be exhibited By Beverley Smith

The luscious colour eff~cts of Montreal photographer David Duchow will be juxtaposed with the Magus-like drawings of artist Susan Hudson in an exhibition at Concordia's art gallery November 15 to December 4.

Duchow is one of th~ growing number of photograph'ers creating surrealistic effects with the Cibachrome colour process.

He shoots from an angle, singling out sections of trees or walls, or offering slices of pavement textures.

The majority of Duchow' s photographs included in the Concordia exhibiti~n were taken between 1976 and 1979.

Duchow has exhibited his work at various Montreal galleries such as the Galerie Soleil and the Musee d'art contemporain.

Montreal-born Susan Hudson, currently an assistant professor in Concordia's Faculty of Fine Arts, has graduated from graphic designer and illustrator to printmaker, painter and -

North American comforts . "We have more Kentucl<y Fried

Chicken stands and more dishwashers and colour TV sets than anywhere else in North America," he states.

"Quebecers are archetypally North American. Many companies come and test their products here,' '. says Sutherland "before they attempt to sell them in the rest of North America.

"Quebecers, have been involved in continental culture for a long time.

.They're used to it and want it. This is reality . People are going to do what they want to do whether the intellectuals like it or not. " - Another reason Sutherland remains optimistic is that Quebecers are much more culturally secure than in the past.

'The Quiet Revolution" , he says, broke the "stranglehold of Quebers' ·old inferiority complex.

"When the PQ came into power," he says, "there was some suggestion of lowering the voting age to 16, but when they undertook studies they discovered that young people couldn't care less about politics. They're much more concerned with discos and jobs. They've never felt culturally insecure."

Still , says Sutherland, the older

photographer. Her work in print focuses on the

subconscious, as she allows her "floating fantasy" to capture sources from her personal d~-to-day experience.' Many of her drawings and etchings feature her children, her friends an9- "surplus odds and ends" she incorporates into abstract sequences.

Hudson's work has been shown in several Canadian cities as welras in the eastern United States and in South America. Many of her works are now in public and private collections.

Also on display in the Concordia galleries will be the works of three York University students: Andre Jodoin, Dan Reid and Stephen Home. This exhibition is titled "No Previous Experience Necessary".

• The exhibition will be held in the Concordia art gallery, on the mezzanine level of the Hall Building, Sir George campus. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 11 a .m. to 9 p .m. and Saturday from 11 a .m. to 5 p.m.

_politicians have retained their deep sense of insecurity . "This is' what motivates many of their reactions."

Traditionally, says Sutherland, French-Canadians are down-to-earth and ~ealistic. Even the Church, he claims, was unable to change the "gros bon sens" of the people when it failed to deter them from voting for Laurier.

" If the people 0f Quebec were able to defy the Church in those days, " he says, "they'll be able to defy the pressures on them now.

"When the chips are down, people are going to consider what's good for them and they're going to vote in_ favour of secuFity.

"People are not worrying about national pride . They're worried about whether they can make their next payment. The intellectual problems of' culture simply don' t preoccupy the

· average Quebecer. " Sutherland points to the difference in

the way the urban and rural populations view Quebec. Outside the island of Montreal, only 6.2 % .of Quebec's population is English­speaking. These people, says Sutherland, certainly don't suffer from

- a feel!ng of cultural insecurity.

.Cybernetics expert

to speak Professor Lev Landa, an inter­

nationally known expert in cybernetics and educational psychology, will be speaking at Concordia on Monday, November 19. ·

Landa invented a method which increases the efficiency of instruction by three to-sev.en times. His new theory and techniques of subject-matter analysis, learning and instruction-which he calls algorithmic-heuristic theory and methods-has received widespread acclaim in Western Europe and North America.

Business, in particular, has found the Landa method to save time not only in learning and instruction but also in on-the-job performance. Indeed, Dr. Landa has been in great demand as a consultant to such organizations as The American Bankers' Association, Xerox Corp., Bell Laboratories, AT & T, etc .

Author of more than 90 publications, Landa holds a lifelong title of Professor from the USSR Ministry of Higher Education, a doctorate from the Institute of General and Educational Psychology, Moscow, and a postdoctoral degree in Psychology from the University of Leningrad.

For-13 years Landa was Director ot an educational psychology Laboratory at the Institute of General and Educational Psychology, USSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences, Moscow. Concurrei\tly, beginning in 1972, he was

Professor at the Institute for Advanced 'raining of University and Pedagogical :ollege Teachers at the USSR Academy f Pedagogical Sciences. Since coming to the west in 1976, Dr.

anda has taught at the University of ftrecht, University of Iowa and now at :olumbia University. Professor Landa' s visTt forms part in

the latest series of presentations by distinguished scholars to members of the Graduate Programme in Educational Technology and the interested public . He will be speaking on Monday, November 19 at 4 p .m. in H-620. ,

Outside the island of Montreal, he maintains, there will be few votes for the referendum.

The problem, says Sutherland, is in ' Montreal. This is where the

referendum could be swung. One comforting thought, says

Sutherland, is that this whole crisis has at least succeeded in "touching people and making them think about things they never thought about before."

If we can get through the present . crisis, he says, we have a chance for building a "real Confederation, a real country".
