Your Alumni Association has decided to produce the magazine in- house again after a four year experiment with production houses. I'll spare you the whys and wherefores of that move and, instead, introduce you to the new magazine. Producing the first issue of a new magazine, it's often been said, is like giving birth. There's nothing easy about it, and the pain seems to last forever. But here it is, all wet, shiny and bawling. Aside from the obvious visual difference, you'll be seeing some editorial changes in The Chronicle. Our focus is going to shift to more articles of substance about the UBC of the 1990s. The quality of research at UBC compares with that of any other university in the world. We will give you reports on that research, written by the people involved. Activities in Arts and Sciences at UBC range from genetic studies to behavioural research to historical studies of the Britannia Mine: you will read about them in these pages. We will continue to bring you news of campus and .Alumni events, information about reunions, The UBC Campaign and the upcoming 75th Anniversary celebrations. This is your University and your magazine. Our goal is to keep you in touch. Let us know how we're doing.

Printed in Canada. Chronicle/Autumn 19893 From the President Jtt/veiy President thinks their year will be special and, in its own way, each is. Mine is no exception. It began with the University's World of Opportunity Campaign well underway and the re-opening of Cecil Green Park. Planning has already begun for the University's 75th Anniversary celebrations in 1990, and we are organizing many special events. There will be opportunities throughout the year for all Alumni to participate in the life of UBC. New Directions In Fund-Raising The Alumni Association has a long tradition of raising funds from graduates to support UBC. Some graduate, give generously, but the overall results are not What we would hope. Fewer than 8% of graduates give annually to UBC. With the UBC Campaign, all University fund-raising Is now being managed by the UBC Development Office. The results thus far have been outstanding. Over $50 million have been raised since the Campaign launch. The Association will continue to be an active partner In University appeals. You will be contacted shortly with more details on how you can support the Campaign. When the call comes, think for a moment how much UBC has enriched your life. Please give generously to assure future students receive an education second to none. You can help push the Campaign over the top. 1990: A Year of Celebration Next year UBC celebrates its 75th birthday. Events will occur throughout the year and Include an Open House in March and a Summer Festival ofthe Arts from May through August. Homecoming, from September 27 through October 3, will feature reunions, a re-enactment of the Great Trek, and other special activities. Nominate an Outstanding Alumni Each year the Association recognizes Alumni who have distinguished themselves and brought recognition to the University. To celebrate the 75th, we are planning special presentations at our Annual General Meeting to honour 75 UBC graduates who have made significant contributions to the community. We welcome nominations of graduates who you feel deserve this recognition. Mark May 16 on your 1990 calendar for an evening with fellow Alumni. To encourage you to visit the campus, we are exploring a membership card which will allow you to use campus facilities. We are also negotiating an affinity credit card for UBC grads. The sponsoring financial institution contributes to the Association a portion ofthe purchase price of goods and services you charge. Our programmes during the next year are focused on cultivating your support and recognizing those Alumni who support the University. Your active involvement enriches the University in many ways. You can sit on a University committee, give guest lectures, arrange events with students, facility aiid fellow graduates and assist the University in its fund-raising. This year will be one ofthe most exciting in UBC's history. Plan to participate. Ann McAfee, BA'62, MA'67, PhD'75 From fibre optics to satellite communications. we're meeting tomorrow's telecommunication challenges. Letters Dear Editor: I was outraged to see in the recent Chronicle that the "first" ladies at UBC according to you are the wives of the "first men." Surely at UBC where approximately half the students (and noticeably smaller numbers of faculty especially at the higher levels) are women, some notable female students, researchers or administrators could (or should) be found. While Mesdames Peterson and Strangway are to be commended for supporting their spouses' careers, surely in 1989 we should be recognizing all people for what they do and not for whom they marry. Roslyn Kunin PhD'70 Dear Editor: "The Hell of Uncertainty" aptly describes my normal reaction when viewing a new issue of The Chronicle. Will there be any interesting articles? Or will it be a poorly regurgitated version of "UBC Purports" with all the appeal of a week-old cinnamon bun? The Winter 1988 issue was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed reading about work taking place at UBC as well as by UBC grads. The closing column by Peter Ladner was a particular gem. All isn't perfect, yet. The cover was too stark for my liking, and I missed Class Acts. But overall the issue was exactly what The Chronicle should be: interesting, entertaining, well written and informative. Please, no more dry diatribes about "Mission Statements." I'm certainly glad for David Strangway's sake that he's finally realized UBC is having tough times; however, George Pedersen and Doug Kenny have travelled that path quite well before. And I hope we are spared rants along the lines of Malcolm MacGregor's. Whatever planning, karma or luck went into the Winter issue, I hope you can keep it for future editions. After all, uncertainty IS hell. Nancy Campbell BSc(Agr)'85 We are pleased to print letters from our readers. All letters are subject to editing for space considerations, so please be brief.

Following are just a few of the Branch activities that have taken place in the past few months. San Diego - May 8 Dr. and Mrs. Strangway were in California in May for a three city visit of Alumni Branches. In San Diego they met with UBC Alumni and guests at a reception organized by Pam Grimmett BSA '51. She and her husband Dr. Richard Grimmett, BA '50 have been instrumental in organizing Branch events there. They have done an excellent job. Brett Anderson, BCom '79 organized a beach party for mid July. Many thanks Eire due to these volunteers and to Richard Saxton, a former Branch rep. in San Diego who has moved to Los Angeles where he is with the Financial News Network. Los Angeles - May 9 The next stop along the California trail was Los Angeles where Brian MacKenzie, LLB '75 pulled together some ofthe L.A. faithful to attend a reception for the Strangways at the Airport Marriott. This Branch is enjoying a revival of sorts, and at the time of this writing. Dr. Hartley Turpin MD '56 of Newport Beach is planning a Fall event - attention all Orange County Alumni! San Francisco - May 11 Peter Lawson had no trouble per- Dr. Jack Jay MD 89 and Paula Mock were the winners of a trip for two to San Francisco (courtesy of P. Lawson and Cathay Pacific) at last year's Medical Ball. They are using the trip for their honeymoon. Other prizes were donated by the Frog and Peach, Jonathan's and the Cafe Fleuri, Meridien Hotel. suading a number of the Bay area Alumni to attend an intimate dinner party at Umberto's ( yes the Vancouver fellow!). Many thanks Peter—and at tax time too! London, England - June 28 Once again B.C. House helped in organizing a reception for Dr. and Mrs. Strangway who were in England to attend the opening of Green College in Cambridge with Dr. Cecil Green. The transit strike did not deter the enthusiasm of our faithful alumni. Guests enjoyed watching the video of The UBC Campaign launch. Ottawa - June 7 Reliable Branch reps, Don Gardner, BASc '54 and Henry Adderley BSc '61 did a fine job (again) of arranging a reception in the Arts Centre to honour Dr. Strangway the day after he received an honorary degree from McGill University in Montreal. Terrace - June 23 Dr. Strangway was in Terrace June 23 to address a gathering ofthe School Board, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce and UBC Alumni.

The Annual September Ceremony will be held on September 7 in the War Memorial Gym to welcome students back. Alumni are welcome to attend. Past Presidents Gather VJTraduates who serve the Association in elected volunteer positions use their expertise and knowledge in two different ways. They become an integral part of planning and decision making for the Association, and they help guide University policy insofar as Alumni are concerned. Twice a year, Past Presidents ofthe Association meet with the President ofthe University to discuss issues of interest to Alumni. This tradition is a long and popular one, and an effective way for Alumni to make their ideas known. On June 13, Past Presidents met with Dr. Strangway for their semi-annual meeting. Dr. Cecil Green, on campus for the official re-opening of Cecil Green Park, attended the meeting and spoke about the value of Alumni involvement at the University. Dr. Strangway presented the final version of his Strategic Plan and Mission Statement to the Past Presidents, and invited their comment. The group discussed Alumni involvement in the current UBC Campaign and in the upcoming 75th Anniversary celebrations. Dr. Strangway and the Past Presidents agreed that Alumni input in both these projects is essential, and that they will deal with these and other issues on an ongoing basis. Bob Osborne, Award winner this year's Great Trekker The UBC Spirit is Coming Home: Homecoming 1989 One of the most important highlights of the University year is Homecoming. Seventy-four years ago, when UBC first opened its doors, there was no "home" to come back to: the shacks on Fairview slopes were temporary in the extreme. Now, with our splendid campus stretching over a good chunk of West Point Grey, we have one of the most beautiful universities in the world. Little wonder that UBC grads from all over the world make the. annual pilgrimage back to the place that started them on their professional careers. This year's Homecoming festivities will include special reunions, gala events and the annual Homecoming Football game. But it won't only be glitter and hoopla. Homecoming isn't just a celebration of an institution. It's people coming to revisit a little piece of their past, it's men and women like you sharing memories, renewing old acquaintances and discovering something about your own past, your own roots. Plan to come back to UBC. Remember: Tuum. Est. It's still yours. Homecoming 1989 kicks off with the Annual Homecoming Parade and Great Trekker Dinner on September 28. This year's Great Trekker Award recipient is Dr. Robert F. Osborne, BA'33 BEd'48. Bob has been extremely active in athletic pursuits since his early university days. As a teacher in Vancouver at Templeton and Lord Byng, and as a professor and director of the School of Physical Education and Recreation, he has passed on his skill and enthusiasm on. He has honed the athletic skills of hundreds of UBC graduates, many of whom have gone on to their own careers in athletics. Bob competed on the 1936 Olympics Basketball team, coached the 1948 team, and managed the 1956 Olympic Track and Field team. He has been involved in the development of amateur sports in Vancouver for most of his professional life. He is also a member of the Kiwanis Club and Civic Arts Committee. Bob has received many honours over the years including the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Medal in 1977; an Honorary Life Member of the Executive Committee ofthe PanAmerican Sports Organization: the Olympic Order of Merit (Silver Medal) awarded by the International Olympic Committee in 1982; a Member ofthe Order of Canada, 1987; and an Honorary LLD by the University of Western Ontario in 1987. He was also awarded the Blythe Eagles Volunteer of the Year Award by the UBC Alumni Association in 1987. Bob and wife Dorothy McRae have two sons, Wayne and David, both of whom are UBC graduates. A Great Trekker Award winner must be a graduate of UBC and must have achieved eminence in his or her chosen field of activity; made a worthy and special contribution to the community, shown a keen interest in UBC and been of particular service to undergraduate students. Bob Osborne meets all these criteria and then some. Tickets for the dinner must be purchased by September 19, 1989. Last year's dinner was a sell-out, so order soon. For further information please call the Alumni office. The Arts '20 Relay Race will be run on September 30. Contact the Intramurals office 228-5388 for further information. The Homecoming Football Game will be played at Thunderbird Stadium on September 30. UBC Thunderbirds have a young, developing team this year, and they will emerge as a force to reckon with. They take on the University of Manitoba, one of the league's strongest teams. Contact Athletics for further information at 228-2531. Homecoming events are yours to enjoy.

Q_ Q- E O D u O u "D CQ O (D < Pierre Berton MCs Campaign Launch Au Luthor and media celebrity Pierre Berton, BA'41 served as Master of Ceremonies at the gala launch of The UBC Campaign on March 20 at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. More than 1100 guests attended, including Lieutenant Governor David Lam, Premier Vander Zalm, Honorary Chairman Cecil Green, John Turner, BA'49 and Mayor Gordon Campbell. A highlight of the evening was the announcement of an anonymous gift of $10 million from a Hong Kong family to build a new Performing Arts Centre. "When people give to projects outside their own country, they do it with real charity," said Lt. Gov. Lam, asking the press and public to respect the family's wish for privacy. Premier Vander Zalm announced a government commitment of $75 million for three new buildings: a forest sciences complex, laboratories for advanced materials and process engineering and a new home for the Centre for Integrated Computer Systems Research. This $75 million is in addition to the B.C. Government's pledge of $66 million to match all private sector gifts to the campaign. Guests enjoyed performances by pianist Robert Silverman and the University Singers as well as video presentations. A gala dinner was also held in Toronto for Eastern alumni and friends of the University. How You Fit Into The Campaign 1 he UBC Campaign began quietly in January 1988. Since then there has been an extraordinary response from pacesetter individuals and corporations. To date, the campaign has raised $100 million, 76% of the $132 million goal. The university will be looking to alumni to put this campaign over the top. In February 1990, UBC will launch The Alumni Campaign. You will have an opportunity to contribute to The UBC Campaign and UBC's mission to be a world renowned institution of higher education and research. Through special matching programs, your gift can be multiplied four-fold. Watch for special mailings and the Chronicle to find out more. Alumni Lead The Way JVlany UBC alumni have participated in the leadership phase of The UBC Campaign as members of the Advisory Council and Leadership Committee. They include: Honorary Chairman Cecil Green, DSc (Hon)'64 Campaign Chairman, Bob Wyman, BCom'56, LLD(Hon)'87 John Allan, BSc'47, LLD(Hon)'88 Brian Aune, '57'60 Jack Bell, BSc'34 Peter Bentley, '47-'50 William Britton.

BCom'48 A Piano For Tomorrow Wh hen Dr. Eva Bene, MA'48 heard that UBC's School of Music needed new pianos, she decided to make a gift to her alma mater. She donated $12,000 to The UBC Campaign for the purchase of a piano for the School of Music. Dr. Bene has loved the piano since childhood. Her mother was a concert pianist in Europe, and she grew up surrounded by music. "I used to sit in a big comfortable armchair next to the piano and listen to my mother play as I studied for exams. It's been my favourite instrument ever since," she said. Dr. Bene regularly attends concerts at UBC and has long been a supporter of the University. As well as gifts to the Music Department, she has contributed to the University's area of greatest need and to scholarship funds. 8 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 "I enjoyed UBC very much and I would like young people now to have the same pleasure I did," she says. Dr. Bene worked as an assistant clinical professor of psychology after completing her M.A. at UBC. She studied economics in Hungary before coming to Canada in 1938. □ "One of the differences between an ordinary university and a great university is its alumni." —David W. Strangway, President "Active, informed alumni are the links between UBC's past and future." —John Diggens, Chair, The Alumni Campaign pportunity Chronicle/Autumn 1989 9 News Campus Cookies Cause Chaos AVecent grads will no doubt remember Duke's Cookies, the coffee/chocolate chip capital of UBC. Students on the way to early morning lectures often made the detour into SUB for a quick cappuccino and cookie to go, basic sustenance for the gruelling day ahead. In an unpopular move this past spring, AMS decided not to renew Duke's lease and opened a cookie emporium of its own, arguing that Duke's paid poorly, charged too much for their cookies and siphoned profits off for their own use. Student cookie addicts were appalled. Petitions were circulated, demonstrations held, and AMS politicians were called everything from food fascists to monopolist swine. To no avail. Duke's folded and Blue Chip Cookies was born. As a political issue, Duke's Cookies' cause was short lived. In a move seen by the more radical elements of the campus as a way of taking the heat off AMS, Dr. Strangway announced a 10% hike in tuition fees. Duke's became yesterday's news. But the ultimate issue remains: is the AMS capable of constructing a competent cookie and cappuccino combo? Your Chronicle staff, in an effort to bring you really important campus news, regardless of the hardship, ventured into SUB to find the answer. The proof of the cookie, after all, is in the eating. The verdict? Not bad. It must be said that Duke's, emotional attachments notwithstanding, did not make a great cookie. The perfect chocolate chip cookie is a cunning combinaUon of hard and soft; you should be able to bang out a crispy tattoo when you tap the cookie with your finger nail, yet the thing should bend and ooze, chocolaty and warm, when you split it in two. It shouldn't be too sweet or too bland; you should be able, as with fine wine, to taste all the components. Duke's were soggy and too sweet. The AMS cookie fares better, but not much. Ofthe three kinds I sampled (one must be thorough), chocolate chip, Chunkie's Choice and (my all-time favourite cookie) raisin, all were adequate. The chocolate chip was a bit scanty in the chip department, Chunkie's Choice was a tad mushy in the middle, and the raisin was hard as stone. But tasty, all. They are more akin to Mom's fresh out of the oven than they are to Dad's in the plastic bags, but they are not prize winners. The coffee is OK, but Joe's Continental on Commercial Drive will lose no customers. The best chocolate chip cookies in town? George's Vancouver franchises, with no serious competitors. UBC has a way to go before it has a truly world- class cookie. Hansen Appointed Wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen BPE'85 has been appointed special consultant to the President to help UBC develop better programs and services for campus disabled. Hansen will set up a formal framework within the university to encourage advocacy on behalf of students, faculty and staff, promote research into disability issues and initiate public education programs. He was awarded an honorary degree in 1987 after he raised $20 million for spinal cord research during his round-the-world man in motion wheelchair odyssey. Board of Management Election Results Ihe 1989-91 Board of Management election results are in. J. Ron Longstaffe BA'57, LLB'58, a Vancouver businessman, has been elected Senior Vice President. Ann McAfee, BA'62, MA'67, PHd'75, last year's Senior VP, automatically assumes the position of President. Longstaffe will assume the Presidency in May 1990. Winners of the three Members-at- Large positions are Janet Calder BASc'74, Executive Assistant to the Regional Manager, GVRD, Martin Cocking BA'87, Liaison Officer with the UBC School and College Liaison Office and Curt Latham BA'58, MD'62, family physician. The position ofTreas- urer was won by acclamation by Mark Hilton BCom'83, LLB'88, an articling lawyer. Longstaffe, who is Senior Vice President of Lignum, Ltd., is a well known supporter of arts and other non-profit organizations. Since 1966, he has been a Director of the Cartwright Gallery, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and the Vancouver Board of Trade. He has been a member of the Arts Advisory Committee and the Vancouver Foundation, President ofthe Canadian Club of Vancouver, Chairman ofthe Project Building Committee, St. Paul's Hospital and President of the Vancouver Art Gallery. He was a Vice President of the Alma Mater Society in 1955-56, and served the Alumni Association previously as Member-at-Large. He was one of the founders of the Alma Mater Society Art collection. Congratulations to the winners of this year's elections. Nominations for Alumni Awards J. he Alumni Association was founded on the principle that graduates and other members of the community have a sense of pride and affiliation toward the University. The energies ofthe Association's staff and volunteers are aimed at providing opportunities for those individuals to exercise that affiliation and pride with a wide range of activities. Many graduates and members of the community, however, go out of their way to promote the University and the Association. We try, therefore, to recognize those who have in one way or another made a significant contribution to the University or the Alumni Association by presenting awards to these individuals. If you know of anyone who would be worthy of receiving one of the following awards, please contact the Programmes Department at the Association office, 228-3313. Alumni Award of Distinction recognizes truly outstanding international achievements of UBC Alumni. Association Honorary Life Membership recognizes contributions made to the UBC Alumni Association and/or the University by a non-Alumnus. Outstanding Young Alumnus Award is awarded to a UBC Alumnus under 36 whose endeavours in professional, civic, business, arts, home-related, political or similar activities are worthy of recognition and have brought honour to UBC. Faculty Citation is awarded to members of the faculty who are recognized as having an established record of outstanding service to the general community in capacities other than teaching and research. The recipient need not be a UBC Alumnus. 10 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 News Blythe Eagles Volunteer Service Award honours someone who has contributed extraordinary time and energy to the Alumni Association. Alumni Awards: 1989 J. he Alumni Association recognized six prominent grads at its annual awards presentation ceremony at this year's Annual General Meeting. Pat Carney MA'60, former PC cabinet minister, received the Alumni Award of Distinction for her outstanding international achievements. William Benjamin, director of UBC's School of Music, received the Faculty Citation Award. This award recognizes Benjamin's service to the Vancouver music community. Mary Plant BA'52 and George Plant BSc'50, received the Blythe Eagles Volunteer Service Award for the time and energy they have devoted to the Association. George is a past president, and Mary is in her fifth year as Convocation senator. Doug Whittle, Physical Education Professor Emeritus, was awarded an Honorary Life Membership in the Alumni Association. He has been extremely active in Alumni affairs since his retirement. Anne Bassett MD'78 and Paul Yee MA'83, were awarded Outstanding Young Alumni Awards. Dr. Bassett, who is a medical researcher at Columbia University, is co-discoverer of a human genetic abnormality that may cause schizophrenia. Paul Yee, multicultural coordinator for the national archives in Ottawa, wrote a book on the history of Chinese people in Canada. This award is given to graduates under 36 who have brought honour to the University. The AGM was held on May 19, 1989. Ex Chronicle Editor Makes Good ^live Cocking BA'62, arguably the best editor The Chronicle ever had, started a new humour magazine, Flash, in May 1989. Flash, according to editor and co- founder Tim Bowling BA'86, is dedicated to the proposition that all per sons are created equally ridiculous. "We're going to walk heavily and carry a big schtick," he says. The mag is filled with cheap laughs and biting satire, and happily trashes Conservatives, Liberals, NDPers, right- wing kooks and left-wing wackos alike. The third co-founder and art director is Peter Cocking BA'86, son of Clive. Flash should be available at your favourite news stand. Break a leg, guys. UBC Books Wanted Nc low that the renovations to Cecil Green Park are complete (see page 16), we are in the process of returning the house into a home. Our pleas for books written by or about UBC alumni have been very successful: we now have an impressive collection of textbooks, novels, books of poetry, biographies and other tomes waiting cataloguing and stacking in the CGP Library. Our search continues. Authors, publishers and others with UBC-ori- ented books are invited to send them in for our collection. These books will be available for alumni to borrow. New Programme Director _T_gnes Papke BSA'66 has been appointed Programme Director for the Alumni Association. She has held the position of Agricultural Sciences Co- Gears Rebuild Cairn It stood for 20 years as the longest running stunt in engineering history. It was thought indestructible. Rumour said its base extended 12 feet in all directions, that it contained an automobile named Omar, and that the whole mass of it was reinforced with a tight cage of steel rebar. Only a charge of dynamite capable of levelling surrounding buildings could budge it. Anyone who was at UBC during the last 20 years will remember the Cairn. It became the target of every vandal's brush, and received abuse from virtually every school, faculty and department on campus. In spite of all this defamation, it held firm and became a symbol of the permanence and strength ofthe engineering spirit. In the end, however, the Engineers' Cairn had, like all things, feet of clay. It was, in fact, a block of unreinforced, poorly cured concrete with no foundation. Last spring, a gaggle of misguided foresters, in a move best described as demented, reduced the Caim to rubble. But the Phoenix has risen from the ashes. With the expert engineering guidance of Nelson Borch (Civil '86) and Jim Cameron (Civil '86), a new Cairn, outwardly identical to its predecessor, sits on the site, ready to take on the next 20 years and beyond. This time, however, the new Caim is built like we said the old one was! To celebrate this rebirth, the Engineering Undergraduate Society and the Engineering Alumni Division hosted a dedication ceremony during Engineering Week '89. Scores of red-clad Alumni joined students and the dean in christening the new Cairn. During the reception in the Cheeze Factory, old classmates and friends celebrated in true Engineering fashion. The Cairn builders were on hand to relate many amazing (and no doubt factual) construction stories, and all attending were amused to hear of the source of the last four inches. There was barely a dry eye as a large bottle of chilled, frothy brew broke over a flawless corner ofthe new Cairn. And finally, every voice was raised in answer to the age old question, "Who the hell are we?" The Caim, symbol of Gear solidity, stands christened Chronicle/Autumn 1989 11 News ordinator for the past two years and has been a key organizer for many Association events and activities. As Programme Director, Agnes will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the department and for the Student Affairs and Branches Programme. Leacock Limerick Winner The 1989 Leacock Limerick Awards have been presented. Contestants from all over the world sent in their bids for baudy immortality to the contest run annually from our own Orillia, Ont. Well, maybe not baudy. Judging from the winning entries, purity of thought and action seemed to win the day. Wearing the Leacock crown this year is Alusdair Zapkin (which is a poem in itself) from Scotland: Said my cabby, "Who needsperestroika?

UBC: 75th Anniversary Celebrations In 1915, UBC registered students for the first time as an independent university. In 1990, the University will celebrate 75 years as the premier post secondary institution in the province. There will be a UBC Open House on March 9-11, a summer festival. May through August and a Homecoming/ 75th Anniversary Week from September 27 to October 3. In addition, there will be numerous special events throughout the year, all aimed at showing the world how we have developed into a world class university. Planning for many events has been underway for months. Celebrations will focus on the academic, teaching and research excellence of UBC over the years. Faculty, staff, student, alumni and community events will salute past achievements, celebrate present progress and show the way to the future Water Karen Anthony ^^^^^ proof ^^^^^ exercise because has turned a fear HHH| HH of knee problems. of water into a ^^^^| H^^H So into the water positive benefit.

Students can develop events that show how student life has changed in 75 years. Alumni could plan and attend special reunions. Professors emeriti may wish to plan projects that help new generations relive events of historical importance to UBC. Imagine hosting famous alumni and faculty in a great debate series, recreating the Great Trek in period costume or participating in a project that involves a theatrical production or an artistic presentation. There are many ways to celebrate our 75th, and we want your ideas. Alumni are invited to get involved. Call the Alumni office (228-3313) for more details. Legacy Program _T_ice Strangway, Chairperson of the 75th Anniversary Legacy Program, wants your ideas. She, and her committee, are responsible for identifying permanent legacies to be created during the 75th Anniversary year. These legacies could take the form of permanent structures (such as preservation of a hut), plaques identifying historical events, collecUons of historical objects (such as UBC mementos like sweaters, pins and pennants), equipment, building or ground improvements (such as beautification projects), disabled access ramps, or any new programs that will continue after 1990. Ms. Strangway is interested in hearing from you and will be considering ideas till the end of September. Call Tim Miner's office (he's the vice-chairperson) at 228-4162. Alumni Committee Jtvon Longstaffe, Senior Vice President of the Alumni Association, has been appointed Chairman of the Alumni Projects Committee for the 75th Anniversary celebrations. Ron and the Committee will plan and implement division and branch events, student affairs programmes, heritage activities, 75th Anniversary/Homecoming Week (along with a special Great Trek celebration), an anniversary edition of The Chronicle, and 75th Anniversary reunions. If you have some ideas for Ron, please call the Association. 12 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 News Chinese Timebomb: UBC Students Watch and Wait I n May of this year, the world's attention was focussed on the struggle of Chinese students in Tiananmen Square. Mikhail Gorbachev's visit and the seeming acquiescence of the Chinese government fostered great hope that a new vision was about to transform China. Chinese students, workers, intellectuals and politicians rallied in support of democratic principles. But the slaughter of June 4th and the crackdown on dissident opinion brought this hope to an end. Chinese students overseas provided vocal and monetary support for the democracy movement. In Canada, Chinese nationals demonstrated, gave interviews and set up a computer bulletin board between here and Beijing to supply the demonstrators with uncensored news. In recent interviews in The Ubyssey and the Vancouver Sun, Chinese students at UBC are careful not to reveal their names. Many feel they are vulnerable to censure by the Beijing government because they were exposed to a different interpretation of events than were their countrymen. Students interviewed by The Ubyssey a month after the events in Tiananmen Square say they must return home, fearing that if they don't, harm will come to their families. Chinese students are now very cautious. Some here are convinced that spies exist in their own ranks. The computer bulletin board carried an article recently about multiparty politics. The local Consul called them in and warned them not to discuss politics in this way. One UBC student felt that since the Consul is not on the network, someone must be reporting to him. Others, though, retain their militancy. Fifteen UBC students officially quit the Communist party in protest on July 12. By quitting, these students gave up the many privileges afforded party members. One of the strongest points of protest during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations was the existence of these privileges. The Canadian government has made moves to help Chinese nationals in Canada. Shortly after the Chinese army moved against the demonstrators, the Canadian government announced that it would extend visas for Chinese students, and grant them refugee status if necessary. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) reallocated $2 million previously earmarked as aid to China for Chinese nationals wishing to stay in Canada, and by August 5, 1000 Chinese living in B.C. made application for extended visas. Many of these were Chinese students at UBC. Chinese students at UBC are in a difficult position. Some are financially dependent on the Chinese government, though the Canadian government will help. If they decide to stay in Canada, many fear their families may pay the price. If they do decide to return to China eventually, they must be careful that the opinions they express while they are in Canada are not contrary to those approved by the Chinese government. Chinese students here feel very discouraged about the prospect of democratic change in China. Some feel increased militancy is required, while others feel China's reformers must move slowly, promoting evolutionary change. Whatever tack is taken, all agree that the current government has successfully derailed the movement for now, but with patience and hard work, the new era of democracy and free expression will come to China. □ Dale Fuller Joseph P.

The oil clean up crews move tons of boulders, rocks, cobble pebbles and logs for each litre of the chocolate-coloured oil and water mousse that they recover. The returns, in terms of oil recovered, look pitifully small. The similarities to placer mining are remarkable: miners would work patiently through virtual mountains of waste rock for an ounce of gold. Placer mining plays an important part in the history and folklore of Alaska and fostered an attitude about hard work and its rewards that is different from the attitude developed in the lower 48 states. This attitude is the best explanation I can give to explain the optimism ofthe work crews cleaning up the oiled beaches on Ragged Island in this wild and breathtakingly beautiful portion of the Alaskan Maritime Wildlife Refuge. The smallest success is seen as a victory. But the work seems impossible. Rocks that cannot be moved are cleaned with pressure steam and water hoses. The nozzles of the hoses, much like the wands at a car wash, probe the cracks of the rocks as far as the length of the wand and the arm of the operator will allow, which is frequently only a small distance toward the back of the deeply fissured rock cracks. The following day, with another rising tide, oil again seeps up from below, and most of the area cleaned will require the crews and their high pressure hoses, booms, absorbent synthetic "pom pom" sponges and fleet of inflatable dinghies, landing craft, tugs and fishing vessels to return again, and probably again and again, until Exxon pulls the crew off the beach. The crews have worked seven days a week for a month in a single cove covering less than a kilometre of shoreline. Wind and sea conditions permitting, half of the twenty four hours is spent working and the other half cleaning up, eating and sleeping on the support ships five hundred metres out in the bay. Apart from a video in the evening, there is little to do. The pay is good, but good pay cannot explain their good humour and optimism, especially when the rewards are far less tangible than a few grams of gold. The perspective of the sixty people on the clean up crew appears to have shrunk to this one cove on this one island. Beyond Morning Cove of Ragged Island, beyond the Pye Island Group, lie hundreds of other islands with hundreds of other coves. In both directions, south to Kodiak and north to Valdez, lie a thousand kilometres of 14 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 oiled coastline. Within the cove, the armada of ships, the tons of equipment and the scores of people appear to have achieved something. They have worked hard and long at the cleaning. But as the helicopter lifts off from the closest safe landing area, a rock in a bay some two kilometres away from Morning Cove, the perspective changes. True, there are other ships and crews working nearby, and they also have had varying degrees of local success. Whether this vast expenditure is worth the results, whether such expenditures elsewhere could have a greater effect in terms of environmental protection or restoration, or indeed whether the cleanup operation itself may be adding to the overall negative impact on the environment are valid questions. Like those on shore at Morning Cove, I bring my own perspective to the spill, a perspective rooted in my memory of the events of almost two decades. This first involved attempting to have an alternative to the Alaskan pipeline and tanker system chosen, and, when the battle to have an overland alternative through Canada was finally lost, attempting to achieve a higher safety level for the tanker fleet used to carry oil from Valdez to the lower 48 states. As the helicopter lifted off I thought back to 1970, when I first became aware of the lack of any serious mention of oil tanker risks in the draft impact statement on the Alaska Pipeline. My efforts, along with the Cordova District Fishermen's United and four environmental groups to have the Interior Department consider the risks of the tanker fleet, were successful. What was not successful was the result - a decision by the Nixon Administration to proceed despite the risks and despite negative reports. I thought of the subsequent two years of litigation through the United States court system, which prevented the Interior Department from issuing a permit to commence construction of the line. For a few heady weeks we thought we had won. Events in the Middle East intervened. OPEC decided to apply an oil embargo. Congress and the Administration then decided the construction of the Alaska Pipeline was a matter of priority. Nevertheless, it was close. The final vote in the Senate, denying us the right to use the legislation and the courts, was tied at 49 to 49. Vice President Spiro Agnew, the presiding officer of the Senate, cast the deciding vote. This defeat was the end of the line. From time to time, as the helicopter flew over the bays and coves of the Wildlife Refuge and the Park, the pilot would point out oiled beaches and rocky shorelines that had not been and would never be cleaned up. The tide was high. Oil was seeping out from among the rocks and cobble and floating to the surface. I would look down to see the sheen of oil on the water and the black border on the rocks. The perspective was a personal one. I wondered whether what I had seen that day would have made any difference to those who, so many years before, had set in motion the events that resulted in the environmental damage below. Was it a lack of imagination that had led them to refuse the better alternative? Or was this the price they understood and were willing to pay? □ David Anderson LLB'62 has been appointed special advisor to the Premier on oil spills in British Columbia. He is a former MP and MLA and a past leader of the B.C. Liberal Party. UBC's Secret Places Win a 75th Anniversary T-shirt!

Chronicle/Autumn 198915 This Old Mansion UBC's premier 'town and gown' centre gets a major facelift, courtesy ofthe late Ida Green. The future looks rosy for the house on the cliff. by Patrick Lewis M ^^™ is a mid-March morning as Alex m m Hovatta, site supervisor for the _________ %/ renovations at Cecil Green Park, turns the master key in the lock and gives the door a push. It sticks for a moment then swings open onto the tar and gravel roof balcony overlooking Georgia Strait. Far below, rain works its patterns in the water off Spanish Banks, driving down in sheets of grey. A few whitecaps are visible amongst the squalls, some running in towards English Bay, while others catch the edge of rocks that jut out from the sand at the base ofthe cliff. A freighter is moving in the middle-distance, a barge and tow-boat farther out are slipping deeper into the grey. Sea birds dive, wheel and drift toward shore then drift out again, marking time above the waves. At the top 16 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 ofthe cliff, the House faces into the wind and rain. "We're not doing a lot up here. Just replacing the balcony deck, redoing the handrail and painting." Hovatta glances across the shingle roofs to where a scaffolding is just visible against the stonework of a chimney at the east end of the House, then walks to the edge of the balcony. Directly below, carpenters are installing joists to support a glass roof which will cover the large red-tile patio which runs along the cliff side of the house. Beside them, rain from the gutters splashes through a makeshift tube; rust and flaking paint mark the wall where the original iron downspouts were removed. "That handrail will be replaced as well," says Hovatta, indicating a painted metal railing around a large balcony one floor down. Wood is stacked beside it, looking slick in the rain. "The rails will all be clear cedar. Just the same as before." :*,'-v-i «c jf» sv ■'_tw_ _*- >.. ^- -W • 4 ^v-fA-..,.'"'. ■. » ,% & <™% _f^- r ^*-*":-.--;-v%-..-_- V1c The "before" Hovatta refers to isn't last week, or month, or even 22 years ago when Dr. Cecil and Ida Green donated the house to UBC. "Before" is seventy-seven years ago when Edward Davis, B.C.'s leading lawyer and founder of Davis and Company, contracted the firm of MacLure and Fox to design a house in Point Grey on property he had purchased from the province. Davis was part ofthe movement of wealthy families out of the West End in the pre-First World War years, but unlike many others, he was looking for something more isolated than the Granville/Shaughnessy area. Davis was willing to produce his own power and tolerate a poor access road to be able to live and entertain at the edge of the wilderness. The man he chose to design the House was perfect for his needs. The son of Scottish immigrants, Samuel MacLure was born in the Royal Engineers' Camp at Sapperton on April 11, 1860, the first white child to be recorded in the New Westminster registry. By the time he and Fox, a former student of the influential English designer, Vosey, designed Kanakla - House on the Cliff - in 1911 -12 for Davis, MacLure was the most important residential architect in western Canada. His list of clients reads like a provincial Who's Who. Bull, Dunsmuir, Tupper, Todd, Phil- lips-Wolley, Rogers, Nichol, Butchart, and Oldfield were just some of the commissions he worked on in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and many of the houses are still remembered and admired. Miraloma, Hatley Park, Government House (designed with F.M. Rattenbury), Gabriola, and Parkside were among the 450 MacLure houses built by 1929. 37 are still standing in Vancouver. MacLure's houses typically incorporated elements ofthe English Arts and Craft movement, the Elizabethan revival, and the linear designs of Frank Lloyd Wright in his own distinctive style. The great hall with its second storey gallery, the library graced by an Arts and Crafts fireplace, the irregular ashlar Cecil Green Park has been completely restored. With renovations now complete, the mansion is ready to serve for another 77 years. Chronicle/Autumn 198917 stonework and the mixing of the textures of wood, brick, tile and plaster, are all trade marks of MacLure's work found in Cecil Green House. But it is the windows, often called MacLure windows, which cover the front of the house in a profusion of glass, that set the House apart from other commissions. MacLure was an artist, a watercol- ourist - he studied painting and architecture in Philadelphia in 1884 and both he and his wife exhibited their work many times - and what Martin Segger, author of The Buildings of Samuel MacLure, calls his "preoccupation with aerial perspectives, the effects of light refraction in the atmosphere and the reflecting qualities of water and mist," must have greatly influenced the design for the House. The setting is masterful, and the windows, with their wide central panes and curved upper rails frame the sweep of the coast, drawing the grey light of March and the warmth of summer into all the major rooms. From the windows on the main floor, the patio and gardens fall away in layers to the edge ofthe cliff, taking the viewer's gaze with them into open space in a flight above the water; from the upper floors, the House appears to hang above the sea, in flight itself. How many times have these rooms been quieted by a sunset or a storm? How many conversations have been distracted by cormorants or a flock of gulls? Who hasn't dreamt of living in such a house? Time, taste, and financial constraints are seldom kind to a great house though, and Cecil Green Park House has been no exception. Over the years linoleum covered the tiles, carpets hid the floors and leaded windows broke and weren't replaced. At some time in the past, the conservatory lost its glass roof and had its panes painted white. More recently, the bedrooms and bathrooms of the top two floors were made into offices for the Alumni and the UBC Development Office, a necessary but odd mixture of function and space — until June of this year, one Alumni staff member worked in a converted bathroom with white and rose tiles from the floor to shoulder height. Cecil Green Park House has 1800 nv (20,000 sq.ft.) of floor space, but as many Alumni know, it didn't have a coat closet on its 540 nr- (6000 sq.ft.) main floor. In January of this year, with funds bequeathed to the University in 1986 by Ida Green for the renovation of the House, UBC began an approximately $1.5 million renovation and upgrading project. According to Gordon Hlynsky of G.B. Hlynsky, Architects, the University was faced with a number of alternatives "ranging from a basic David Strangway, Alumni Association President Ann McAfee, Past President John Diggens and Cecil Green at the re-opening ceremony Cecil Green Park Re-Opened -Dack in January, 1967, Ida and Cecil Green stood out on the patio of Cecil Green Park and dedicated their mansion to the University. It was a cold day, with intermittent rain and ablustery wind blowing offthe Sound. The house couldn't have looked lovlier. Ida and Cecil had seen the mansion a year before when they were here to visit their friend Dr. William Gibson. Ida fell In love with It the moment she saw it, but Cecil, always the pragmatist, was not convinced. One day, in the spring of '66, Ida, Cecil and Bill Gibson sat out on the back lawn admiring the view. Bill Gibson was trying to talk Cecil into buying the house for the University. Cecil turned to Ida and said, "What should I do, Ida?" She said two words: "Buy it." The deal was struck. In June 1989, Cecil Green returned to the mansion on the cliff and conducted the second official opening of Cecil Green Park. When she died in 1986, Ida bequeathed over $2 million for the renovation and maintenance of the house: her spirit permeated the ceremony. Cecil evoked her memory in his talk to the crowd, and remembered that day In 1967 when she shared the platfom with him. Ida, and the house, live on. redecorating to going the whole ten yards." UBC went the ten yards, and took up the challenge of rebuilding the house as well as bringing it up to the level of the building code. Three flights below the roof balcony in a newly painted room, the thick volume of architectural and mechanical specifications supplied by Hlynsky - the nuts and bolts of Ida Green's gift - sits on Alex Hovatta's desk. Without opening it, he begins to list the specs. There is new wiring throughout - "It was still knob and tube;" - a sprinkler system - "All the house had was firehoses. Now everything has to meet the building code;" - new ventilation, a new furnace, new storage rooms, a new loading bay. And other details. A multitude of things to maintain the house and make it more practical as a "Town and Gown" centre: new carpets, new tile in the bathrooms, closets in the hallway, repointed stonework, restored antique lighting fixtures, renewed downspouts. And on and on. The kitchen has been rebuilt and retiled, and the tile work which led from the foyer to the telephone room has been rediscovered and restored. The UBC Faculty Women's Club rooms have been rewalled and repainted, and many of the old fir doors have been replaced with quarter-sawn red oak doors. And although the plumbing has 18 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 been upgraded throughout the House, all of the fixtures are reproduction pieces to maintain the character. "Everything has got to look just like before." It is in E.P. Davis' library and the main rooms on the ground floor, that visitors will be most aware of the rebirth of the House. Years of dirt and faded varnish have been cleaned off the oak and rosewood and the finish on the new oak floor catches the light from the coastal skies and reflects it up onto the textile border of the Kanakla Room and the work of Bruce Taylor, Master Carver, who took a year to work the oak leaf/acorn motif throughout the House. And the windows. When Alex Hovatta and his crew came on site, some windows were cracked and broken and the leaded panes were bowed from the wind and the sun. Now they have been rebuilt. For seventy-seven years, E.P. Davis' MacLure house has been lived in, worked in, and played in. At the time of the First World War it was a grand house, and thanks to Ida Green, it will be again. In Samuel MacLure's words, "The best is yet to come." The House on the Cliff is being reborn. □ Patrick Lewis is a Vancouver writer and member of Bob Harlow's famous 'Creative Non-Fiction' workshop of 1986.

Chronicle/Autumn 1989 27 Books Genethics: The Clash Between the New Genetics and Human Values by David Suzuki & Peter Knudtson Stoddart Vxoncern over western society's blind rush into the new world of genetics lies at the core of Suzuki and Knudtson's book, Genethics. A well-written and challenging book, Genethics introduces the reader to modern genetics, where the basic structures of life are shaped not by the hand of God or evolution, but by man. At the .same time, the book proposes a number of moral laws to act as a framework from which to view the progress of this discipline. The first of these laws, or Genethic Principles (to be able to judge the issues, one must be aware of the nature of genetic research) summarizes the need for such a book. Social debate and decision by consensus is increasingly important and increasingly difficult in a world of specialist knowledge and jargon. The route to take in the manipulation of genes, and the defining of limits in the engineering of human evolution are some of the issues that Suzuki and Knudtson feel ordinary people must be able to decide upon, as all of us must live with the decisions. They also believe that genetics should not be the preserve of "corporate and military organizations," and that profit is not the best motive for scientific research. Suzuki and Knudtson divide the book's introduction and 14 chapters into two sections. As they explain in the preface, the first five chapters are to be viewed as a primer in modern genetics, the last nine as a "genethic parable... the first fruits of our search for humane, broadly applicable ethical themes..." While recommending that the reader start with Chapter One, the authors allow that this necessarily complex first section can be avoided and the reader can move straight to Chapter Six. By dividing their book in this way, Suzuki and Knudtson have attempted to make a difficult subject accessible to the non-scientist. It is an unconventional solution, and it is almost successful. The book's problem lies in the density of the material presented and the need for the reader to have some understanding of the genetic dance, plasmid shuttles, start and stop codons, RNA, amino acids, and a half a dozen other ideas, acids and enzymes. The book does contain a good glossary and the authors' concise writing style can carry the reader through some complicated material. But those who are novices in the world of genetics will have to struggle through the last nine chapters if they haven't taken the time to work through the first five. Genethics, to use the authors' recombinant word, is not a simple subject, and Genethics is not an easy book. But it should be read from cover to cover, and its obvious joy in the knowledge that humankind has gained about genetics should be appreciated while its cautions are heeded. Suzuki and Knudtson end the last chapter with a quote from Isaac Bashe- vis Singer: "Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of non-knowledge." Genethics makes our island a little larger, and offers us a firmer place on which to take a stand. Sky Watcher by Winona Kent MFA'85 Seal Wh inona Kent is a card carrying member of The Man From Uncle" fan club, a fact that goes a long way in summing up her first published novel, Sky Watcher. It's a hip, jokey story about a young man who gets caught up in an international spy intrigue full of gadgets, kidnappings, strange encounters and twists of plot and allegiances. Christopher Robin Harris is an ordinary, hard working UBC student who finds himself in possession of a strip of microfilm that holds the key to a scheme to take over the world. In a chase that leads from UBC to an ashram in Washington State, he and his brother uncover a plot so sinister it would make 99's hair curl. If the book falls down at all it is in its quippy, off-hand tone. Even while poor Christopher is being tortured by heartless monsters, both description and dialogue treat the whole thing with a wise-cracking jocularity that doesn't quite fit. But that's a quibble. The story clips along smoothly and deftly, and the Lower Mainland locations are a treat. **■■&*** •< -I WAS FRAMED" (For a foorf catMM.'J Oct 3,4,5 CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY SOC_T_ CANADKNNE DUCANCBR \7 n BRITISH COLUMBIA AND YUKON DIVISION Ms. Kent apparently picked up a hefty advance for this book, a fact that bodes well for the book and for her future. Tide Pools and Swoosh Holes by Henry S. Maas Wallace Crescent Press. Is there life after Social Work? Apparently. Professor Emeritus Henry Maas has published many books and journal articles during his years as a Professor of Social Work, and has maintained a reputation as a understanding and knowledgeable teacher. Tide Pools and Swoosh Holes is a book of short, accessible poems that deal with places discovered while travelling, portraits of plain people and creativity in its many art forms. These are sensitive, lyrical poems that reveal Maas as a reflective, rather romantic individual. He is able to see inside the obvious in people and things, and his power of observation is reliable and vigorous. From "Rusticated Bo": I am dry white grass snapped flat to the sand in the field. I am thistle stems stiffened in the sun. I am a dull red spider in a fine ambitious web—dead—withyougone. The book is a fine start on a new career. It is available at Duthie's and Banyon. □ o__ U B C Stay in touch and up to date on campus news 1 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION $40 (Sept.-April) PLEASE CALL 228-3977 • OR WRITE RM 266 - 6138 SUB BLVD.

V6T 2A5 a publication fo the Alma Mater Society 28 Chronicle/Autumn 1989 continued from page 30 higher learning it is not surprising to find rocks in the geological museum or machinery in an engineering department. But I couldn't contain my sense of wonder about these places, a sense which was sharpened by a couple of remarkable discoveries that just seemed to drift into view as I passed by. The English Language Institute shares an old stucco building with Physical Plant. While walking back to my office, I noticed a mysterious room in the Physical Plant's domain, visible in the narrow passage that leads to the ivy-covered monolith of the Power House. Through dusty, many-paned windows I could see a forest of wooden objects: long skinny ones, short, chunky ones, some with carved leaves or ornaments, some painted bright colours. Behind them, shadows of other treasures lurked. Were they the relics of torn-down buildings or perhaps pieces of sets from the theatre department? I finally walked into the Physical Plant office one day and asked. This little store of treasures, I learned, belonged to artists unknown who couldn't part with them, but who had run out of space in the Lasserre Building. They just sit there, undiscovered, waiting their fates. My most charming discovery that summer bore up to all repeat inspections. One day as I hurried to class down what I hoped was a short-cut, I was startled by a sudden confusion of flowers, a wild English garden hidden from the rest ofthe tidy UBC grounds. The Secret Garden. On one side children's paintings covered a wall. A wooden trellis arch invited all to enter for a closer look. Inside, a dry stream bed crossed by little wooden bridges ran parallel to the neighbouring building. Rustic benches sat invitingly along the banks, and the sidewalks were inlaid with tile pieces and the handprints of five and six-year-olds. The correct name for the place is the Neville Scarfe Children's Garden, and it can be found just behind the Neville Scarfe Education Building. When I found the garden in July it was alive with wild roses, huge red oriental poppies, white daisies and purple balloon flowers. Around their stalks grew the more reserved pansies, pinks and alyssum. By September, the roses had left behind their scarlet rosehips.

The children's garden became part of my daily round, and I dragged my students to see it as well. My colleagues and I didn't provide guides, however, when we sent our classes on a kind of scavenger hunt on campus. I was sure that my newly expanded knowledge would provide a wonderful selection of obscure places to lose them. But as soon as I sat down to dream up a list of destinations, I realized that I had to consider the whole campus, not just the buildings which felt so new and surprising to me. I had to ask myself, "If I hadn't already worn circles around the Arts buildings, which of their secrets would most amaze me?" I reconsidered the Main Library. Besides those tiny staircases, it yielded up the quasi-Oxbridge atmosphere of the Ridington Room, with its high ceiling, tall windows, refectory tables, and stern, professorial portraits. In the Fine Arts Division, the books were wealth enough, but I also thought ofthe fine, artistic section of the basement - a work in progress, shall we say - that borrowed its ambience from the boiler room. And the Map Division. Who could not be impressed by those large flat drawers full of maps, maps that have never been folded, stapled or mutilated? I felt I could challenge any adventurous soul (or unsuspecting Japanese student) to find the stairs to the Penthouse Lounge in Buchanan. That aerie brought to mind the bright and carefully hidden dance studio above the armoury on West Mall, a studio where I once sweated through a season of classes. Down the stairs at the other extreme was that repository of all old umbrellas, the Brock Hall Lost and Found. And finally, to the pinnacle of UBC wonders, I would send two lucky students to the 12th floor of Buchanan Tower, whose secret is jealously guarded by the inmates of the History Department. There they harbour the university's best view of Georgia Strait and Howe Sound, its widest panorama of water, mountains and cloud. My students had only a couple of hours to complete their assignment. I'm glad that I no longer have that kind of pressure. I now have the time to wander. To anyone who is on campus for even the briefest visit or for those who have been here for three degrees, I would recommend yielding to the temptation to round an inviting corner or to venture down a beckoning path. You may be amazed by the new and exciting vistas that open themselves before you. J Chronicle/Autumn 198929 Column Secret Places of UBC BT MORNA MACLEOD BFA'86 Even a casual visitor to UBC can't help but be drawn into the beauty of the place. The twists and turns of campus paths, the lush landscaping, the mixture of old and new architecture, and the ring of craggy Coast and Island mountains through the trees are overwhelming. Those lucky casual visitors at least have the time to look around and appreciate their surroundings. As an overworked undergrad of the early to mid '80s, I had to keep my eyes on my books. I did get to know a few of the old school's charms, like the one-lane staircases in the Main Library and the arcane room numberings in Buchanan (which I had just mastered when the whole system was changed), but for the most part the beauty of UBC eluded me. As a part-time Arts student I was always hurrying from the bus to a class or vice-versa, often in the dark. And later, when I enroled as a full- time student, I kept to a narrow, unvarying path between Buchanan, the Main Library and the Student Union Building. For me, UBC was a small, predictable campus. I returned to UBC in the summer of 1988 in a new role. I was hired to teach English to Japanese students for the English Language Institute. I knew the curriculum backwards: my real challenge was finding my classrooms. Someone in Room Bookings had stared into a computer monitor and punched the classes into every far-flung classroom on campus. I set off on my first day to find these uncharted territories, followed by a gaggle of students who were quite confident in my leadership. I found my first room (locked) in Chemical Engineering. Here at last, I thought, would the secrets of UBC be made manifest. In my old haunt, Buchanan, one room had looked much like another: classrooms came with standard issue student desks, a podium, a chalkboard and an instructor's desk that looked like it came from the Victorian age. In Chemical Engineering, rooms were full of humming and buzzing contraptions with banks of switches and people in white lab coats. A sign in one room read, "Do not use carcinogens in this machine." My classroom had a wall-to-wall set of drawers, and lengths of clear plastic pipe among the metal ones near the ceiling. While waiting for one of my students to answer a question, counting to 15 in my head so as not to break the silence in too hasty a North American manner, I stared up at the water that gushed through those pipes. I assumed (with determined resolution) that they were conduits of Science, not of sewage. The Mechanical Engineering building housed another of my classes. Over the summer, I learned that the layout of the building is a maze rivalling the worst nightmares of Buchanan. I also taught in Geophysics and Astronomy, where I discovered a marvellous seismograph in the front hall, its skinny arms jiggling along as it recorded the tectonic rumblings of the Lower Mainland. I also found the secret location of the building's only women's washroom, at the top of a steep, metal staircase which resembled the setting of a wartime submarine movie. In my travels, I noted the mosaic wall of Mining and Metallurgy and lounged with my students in the pleasant courtyard of the M.Y. Williams Geological Museum, surrounded by samples of ribbon chert and garnet schist. In its centre, on two lengths of track, a rusting ore car was permanently stalled, never to reach its white- stencilled destination: "St. Eugene Mine, Moyie Lake, B.C. One-Ton Silver End-Dump Car."
