Air Fare Cable TV rates to jump 75° ig Last Sunday night, CKMP aired "A Celebration of Song", a record made by St. Paul's United Church Choir, of sacred and secular music. It's good to hear local musicians on our community station. There's a lot of talent in the area, and perhaps we could hear more of it over the local air waves. Response to Sunday night's program was reasonably heavy, and positive. To hear a local choir or orchestra on community radio is a gratifying experience for directors, performers and listeners. Let's have more of it. Cable rates up Cable rates are due to go up locally on May 1. According to Maclean-Hunter, "the cost of doing business has increased by 45 per cent" since 1963. The rate hike has been approved by the CRTC. On June 10, the commission is holding formal hearings on the issues of opening the books of cable TV companies to the public. Up until now, profit and loss figures have been known only to the companies, and to the CRTC. Lord Thomson of Fleet once opined that a cable TV license was "a license to print money." If the books are opened to the public, we'll soon find out if so, and how much. In the meantime, it'll cost you 75 cents more per month to find out the results of the public hearing, if you watch the news on cable. Faces of Small Places Faces of Small Places produced by Ivan Sarossy foe CKVR focussed on Collingwood, Craigleith, Midland and Penetanguishene last Thursday night. Sarossy hopes to show the films -- there are 15 in the series -- in other parts of Canada but unless Faces is tightened with some intelligent editing and improvements in sound quality, far flung viewers are likely to conclude that Southern Ontario is a very unimaginative place indeed. There appeared to be no unifying theme to Thursday night's show. The word "Collingwood" appeared on screen and we were then given eight minutes about Collingwood Air Services, with a lot of film of people getting in and out of planes, and flying around in them. Then the scene shifted abruptly to Midland Secondary School where art students were making masks under the direction of teachers Agnes Boucher and Bill Chenier. There were possibilities for good television here, but the sound was unfocussed. Just as things got interesting, we were suddenly whisked to Craigleith where we saw a very long train trun- dling past a railway crossing. If the camera had spent less time on that in- terminable train, we might have had more time with the owner of the Depot, an ancient railway station that's been converted into an interesting dining spot. We barely had time to sample the menu when we were shunted off to Penetanguishene with John Coull and the PSS band. It was during this sequence that we realized what made the rest of the program seem so much like a home movie. There was no background music, and a good musical score is essential to set the tone for TV documentaries. With attention to finishing details like music, editing and unifying narration, Faces of Small Places could have been -~ enriching and-entertaining.-As it was, the show was about-as" inspiring as the patty-stacker commercial that divided Craigleith and Penetanguishene. Small faces, small places and small inspiration. di As it happens ##7ou haven't anybody to do dishes with try Barbara Frum and Alan Maitland on C.B.C. radio each week night from 6:30 till 8:00, on As it Happens.

The book is a collection of such memories, written by graduates (among them Alexander Brott, Maxwell Cohen, and Wilder Penfield). Most of the memories are in the form of cheerful anec- dotes with lots of stories about absent minded professors, student capers and college papers. "Why is the McGill daily?" says the pessimist, sourly. 'Thank God," says the optimist, 'it isn't hourly." There's a chapter on the creation of My Fur Lady, a Satirical review that grew out of the Red and White Revue and toured Canada during the intensely nationalistic early fifties. There are also some good solid chapters on the faculties of medicine and Entertaining program ends Y Music Festival 1975 Music Festival organizers put together a well balanced and entertaining program for last Wednesday's Festival Finals Program. A small but enthusiastic audience enjoyed vocal and instrumental solos, choirs and smaller vocal en- sembles. All the performers were prize winners-in the recent Music Festival. Baskets of fresh flowers on the Midland Secondary School stage were donated by Mrs. Ko Huvers, in memory of her husband, who was deeply involved in YMCA activities. Scholarships and trophies were presented by Dr. Hollister King. Winners, by ..Gerry Schnarr, were as follows: Piano' Class: Peter Hanmore, Brent Farquar, Dennis Purdon, Christie Aitken, Dragoman, Sheri Farquar, Shauna Snowden, Marsha Gouett, Cindy Grozelle, Frank Emke, Vicki Donaldson. Vocal Class: Kevin Cruise, Claudette Lorette, Kerry VanKlink, Laura Edwards, Yvonne Lacroix, Susanne Christina eae ee ee ee "The McGill You Knew" is a happy book law. The whole book has a pleasant ivy-covered flavour. As Dr. Stewart Reid says in his piece on experiences in a McGill teaching hospital: "Memories are fortunately something like childbirth - with time, memories of pain fade and those that are happy and amusing persist." The McGill You Knew is a happy book and will be read with much reminiscent pleasure by graduates, although current students may regard it as a bit of a museum piece. Claude Bissell's Halfway up Parnassus, takes a more realistic and slightly. bitter look at the business of the university in history during the years of student unrest. Bissell was president of U. of T. from 1958 to 1971, and they were thorny years that saw the change from the rigid and protested position enjoyed by universities to one of advanced political and social realism. Bissell's years at U. of T. saw the founding of Rochedale. Says Bissell - "It became an ugly concrete wasteland, an urban camp- site for the rootless and which, alienated from nonetheless, genuine creative movements, par- ticularly in the dramatic arts, emerged." Bissell describes the planning that went into the building of the controversial Robarts Library, the emergence of the Faculty of Music and the growth of the York, Erindale and Scar- borough campuses. A large portion of the book destroy the establishment by which he is now nourished." Through all the con- frontations and_ sit-ins, Bissell grew to appreciate one important fact: "The student radical movement at its strongest was concerned about the way in which decisions were made at the University...and in this it coalesed with similar con- cerns held by faculty and administration." deals with student unrest, which was the hallmark of the sixties. Bissell's distaste for their '"'Maddening self righteousness and arrogance'"' is obvious. However, he makes a distinction between radicals and revolutionaries. The radicals bought the gospel of "The Student as Nigger" in which the lot of the student was equated with that of the negro in American society. "T thought it monstrous that these affluent young Canadians' should _ see themselves as suffering the privations of the blacks." About Andy Wernick, the leader of the revolutionaries, Bissell says cooly, "Perhaps today in the pleasant places of Trent, where he teaches Sociology, he may reflect from time to time about the days when he _Strove to The tensions and frustrations of Bissell's (Canadiana quality in- 2 Fell icludes: National Build- rca and plumbing.

Even his finai speech at University College was disrupted by giggles and laughter, '"'most of it nervous reaction of those determined not to be impressed."' Halfway up Parnassus is disturbing and _ spirited reading. And if it could be characterised by a quotation, another Leacockian one would do. "If I were founding a university, I would first found a smoking room...then a dor- mitory...then a decent reading room and a library. After that if I still had money left over that I couldn't use, I would hire a professor and get some text books." reer OPEN SATURDAYS ====ang You Block people sure ask a lot of questions.
