IWD pub: No men, no party HALIFAX (CUP) - Stu- dent council- lors at Mount Saint Vincent University forced the cancel- lation of a women-only dance scheduled to celebrate Inter- _ national Women’s Day. “We were told by the student union we could not have a women-only pub night because it was reverse dis- crimination,” said the chair of the university’s ad hoc IWD organizing committee, Tarel Quandt. But student council pres- ident Jan Thomas denies that was the reasoning be- hind the decision. She said a policy that council- sponsored events be open to all students convinced coun- cillors to unanimously insist the party include men. The committee refused. Thomas said council is replacing the [WD dance with its own pub night open to all.

Day 14, 1988 the Mount’s 4100 students are male. “Unfortunately, sadly and not surprisingly, women celebrating by them- selves and for themselves is a serious affront and threat to the patriarchal values which, contrary to popular delusion, remain staunchly in a posi- tion of supreme power in our society,” stated a letter re- leased by the committee. Thomas said _ Interna- tional Woman’s Day means %a time to celebrate women... a time of sharing with every- one”. The committee cancelled a rally planned for March 8th, because to “celebrate a rally would be a real farce be- cause of the oppressive con- dition that the council was creating for us.’ The rally will be replaced with a debate between two lawyers on the legal aspects of women-only events. .
