Rent a video! McGill has 1,104 videos that alumni can rent - including television shows and documentaries. There are three categories of videotapes: the "reds," "greens," and "blues." The reds and blues are for students and staff exclusively while the greens may be borrowed by alumni. The "greens" include documentary topics of public interest and videos of management issues. There are 1,104 greens, 1,492 reds, and 77 blues in the collection. Borrowing cost is $9 for two days. Compared to borrowing movies from your neighbourhood store, this is relatively expensive but McGill provides items difficult to obtain elsewhere. Alumni can copy and do high-speed audio dubbing of non-copyrighted material. Instructional Communications Centre Stephen Leacock Building (Basement) Contact: Jerry Rohar (514) 398-7200 ext. 0870

Hear a Concert!

Once upon a time there were free concerts at Pollack Hall. Now some have fees but they are entirely reasonable. Call the telephone hotline for more information.

Hire a McGill band! (Or soulful crooner) They're hip, they're cool, they're known as the "gig coordinators." Roeland and Reginald will find the right student or alumni musicians for your event. But it's not on the cheap. All students earn Quebec musician union rates of no less than $45 per hour ($15 more for a cellist: the case is heavy, after all.) Demo tapes are also available - and 15-second sound clips are on the web site. Creative Sounds Entertainment Roeland Denooij, BMus'97Reginald Clews, LMus'97 3857 Henri Julien Montreal, Que.

Take a Tour!

If you want to get a good sense of McGill, take a free tour. All you have to do is call to arrange a time from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The tour guides are all students who have been trained to know a lot about the school and its buildings. Tour guides are outgoing and always willing to answer questions or take the time to focus on one or two buildings of interest (once the rest of the group agrees).
