New magazine 
     
    
   
   
    
     Ottawa (CUP) — A new 
     
     national magazine for the 
     
     Canadian gay and lesbian 
     
     community is set to roll of 
     
     the presses and into the 
     
     publishing void left by the 
     
     recent demise of The Body 
     
     Politic. 
     
    

    
     _ Epicene, whose title is 
     
     derived from a Greek word 
     
     incorporating both sexes, is 
     
     the response to the needs 
     
     of the country’s gay pop- 
     
     ulation, said business co- 
     
     ordinator Charles: Philips. 
     
    

    
     “The eae 
     
     reason why we committed 
     
     ourselves to such a large un- 
     
     dertaking was that we felt 
     
     it was essential to have a 
     
     forum for the community 
     
     throughout Canada,” said 
     
     Philips. 
     
    

    
     Among the articles in 
     
     the first issue, which was 
     
     set to be on the stands by 
     
     the end of March, is a fea- 
     
     ture on The Body Politic, 
     
     which folded to the sur- 
     
     prise of the gay and lesbian 
     
    
   
   
    
     community because of fi- 
     
     nancial and administrative 
     
     problems. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The first issue will be 
     
     64 pages, though regu- 
     
     lar size is expected to in- 
     
     crease to 80 pages. Ed- 
     
     itorial co-ordinator Chris- 
     
     tine Bearchell, one of the 
     
     collective members of The 
     
     Body Politic, said there are 
     
    
   
   
    
     No jobs

     University of Calgary has 
     
     announced a hiring freeze

     reduce operating funds. 
     
    

    
     Associate Vice- 
     
     President Academic Lorna 
     
     Cammaert said the admin- 
     
     istration is looking at ways 
     
     to change its early retire- 
     
     ment program to give pro- 
     
     fessors incentive to retire 
     
     before the age of 65. 
     
    
   
   
    
     fills void 
     
    
   
   
    
     plans for international dis- 
     
     tribution, though the main 
     
     focus of promotion is’ the 
     
     North ‘American market. 
     
    

    
     Other first edition ar- 
     
     ticles include an interview 
     
     with U.S.

     tion for men, and an article 
     
     on censorships

     at U of C 
     
    
   
   
    
     Cammaert said early 
     
     retirement and other possi- 
     
     ble changes are now negoti- 
     
     ated with the U of C Fac- 
     
     ulty Association. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The hiring freeze ap-

     now \vacant and to addi- 
     
     tional vacancies which may 
     
     occur this year. The freeze

     potholes. 
     
    
   
   
    
     said Cammaert. 
     
     Sessional 
     
     instructors are not affected 
     
     by the freeze. Any vacancy 
     
     left by a retiring professor 
     
     will be filled by a sessional. 
     
     In announcing’ the 
     
     freeze, Vice-President Aca- 
     
     demic Peter Kreuger said 
     
     the university is trying to 
     
    
   
   
    
     protest funding for gradu- 
     
     ate students. 
     
    
   
   
    
     “Our first priority is to 
     
     prevent the decline in grad- 
     
     uate programs and in grad- 
     
     uate student support,” he
