Volume 31, Number 2 Faculty vote in favor of agreement revisions The UBC Faculty Association has voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying revisions to the Framework Agreement for Collective Bargaining, the document which regulates formal relationships between faculty members and the administration. In a total vote of 688 members of the bargaining unit, 87.6 per cent (603) voted in favor of the amendments, 11.8 per cent (81) voted against and there were four spoiled ballots. The revised agreement must also be approved by UBC's Board of Governors, which next meets on Feb. 7. The Framework Agreement, which establishes a set of procedures for bargaining outside the B.C. Labour Code, continues to include a section that prohibits strikes by the faculty and lockouts by the University. Major changes agreed to by the University and the Association in bargaining that began in February, 1984 are: • A three-person arbitration panel replaces the present single arbitrator on salary matters; • The decision of the panel is binding if unanimous; if the decision is not unanimous, the arbitrator's decision can be rejected by the UBC Board of Governors; • If the arbitration award is rejected by the Board, the items which are awarded unanimously are binding and total compensation to the faculty shall be no less favorable than that proposed in writing by the University during negotiations. • The criteria to be used by the arbitration board in considering salary awards are specified in some detail. Other framework agreement amendments relate to the following: Discretionary Funds: In a year in which no general salary increase is negotiated, the president may allocate limited discretionary increases after informing the Faculty Association; Grievance Procedures: Grievances concerning administrative appointments are now specifically excluded from the agreement. Currently on display in UBC's Asian Centre is a replica of Thailand's equivalent of England's Magna Carta. The late 13th-century stone pillar has inscribed on it information about the Thai alphabet developed by King Ramkamhaeng the Great. A Thai princess presented the replica to President George Pedersen during his pre-Christmas visit to Southeast Asia in recognition of UBC's promotion of the Thai language. faculty suspends admission to first year UBC's Faculty of Education plans to begin implementing in 1986 revised admission and program requirements for its two major undergraduate degrees — the Bachelor of Education for those planning to teach in elementary and secondary schools. As part of a plan to implement the new requirements, the education faculty received approval Wednesday (Jan. 16) from UBC's Senate to suspend admission in September, 1985 to the first year of Bachelor of Education degree programs. The proposal also requires the approval of UBC's Board of Governors, which next meets on Feb. 7. The fact that no new students will be enrolled in first year in September should not cause any disruption in the studies of students who intend to enter the teaching profession, Senate was told by Dr. Daniel Birch, dean of UBC's Faculty of Education. "At present," he said, "the majority of B.Ed, students begin their University studies enrolled in other degree programs and transfer into the education faculty after a year or more of study and many regional college students will still transfer into second or third year of the B.Ed, program. "Most year one students — there are 93 this year — who are currently enrolled for the B.Ed, degree take all their courses in the Faculties of Arts or Science." Dean Birch added: "Those students who planned to enrol in the first year of the B.Ed, program in September, 1985 should register in some other appropriate UBC faculty in anticipation that they will be able to enter the Faculty of Education later, providing they meet the requirements that will be implemented in 1986." He said approval would be sought for the revised admission and degree requirements at forthcoming 1985 Senate meetings. Dean Birch also told Senate that the education faculty "does not at this time have assurance of the resources required to maintain all programs in special education." As a result, no new students will be admitted to the first or second years of the B.Ed, degree program in special education, which trains teachers to deal with the mildly handicapped. However, students currently enrolled in the program and those accepted for transfer to the third year will be provided with a full program if they progress toward degree completion at a reasonable rate, he said. The dean expressed a commitment to teacher education for special needs children and the hope that new students will be admitted in 1986. New dates set for Open House UBC's 1985 Open House, scheduled for March 8, 9 and 10, has been postponed until October, when it will be staged as part of National Universities Week. The first National Universities Week, organized by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, was held in 1983. Following the successful completion of the first NUW, a national committee co-chaired by UBC president Dr. George Pedersen recommended that the event continue every other year. In announcing the postponement, President Pedersen said it would be more efficient, both financialy and in terms of human resources, to stage a single UBC event as part of a national program of university community relations, rather than two separate events. He said it was proposed that the faculties which were scheduled to stage the March event — Arts, Science, Education, Law and Commerce — would be open to the public on Oct. 25, 26 and 27. UBC Reports, January 23,1985 $1 million gift David Lam library in Commerce opens A major research facility for the business community will be officially opened at UBC tomorrow (Jan. 24). The David Lam Management Research Library will be the first of its kind in Canada and will be available to business researchers at UBC or in the private or public sectors. Research materials and staffing of the library have been made possible through a $1 million gift from Vancouver businessman David Lam and his family. Mr. Lam, well-known in the Canadian real estate industry, was recently appointed to the Bank of B.C.'s board of directors and this week returned from a business trip to Hong Kong on behalf of the bank. He says he is making the gift as a visible expression of his gratitude to Canada and B.C. for the opportunities he has enjoyed here as an immigrant from Hong Kong. Mr. Lam took a diploma in the appraisal option of the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration's urban land economics course at UBC in 1972, and his daughter Doreen graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree from the University last year. Taking part in the ceremony in addition to Mr. Lam will be UBC chancellor Robert Wyman, UBC President George Pedersen, chairman of UBC's Board of Governors David McLean, Dean Peter Lusztig of the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, and Mr. R. Bev Harrison, Science offers help for ailing forest industry Biotechnology, an area with tremendous potential for Canada's ailing forest industry, will be the subject of an international conference being organized by UBC's Faculty of Forestry Feb. 21 and 22. The conference, sponsored by the Science Council of Canada, will explore the application of biotechnology, gene splicing and genetic engineering to the nation's leading industry. Biotechnology has already had a significant impact on the agriculture, pharmaceutical and energy industries. "A dollar of science is worth 10 in the forest," is the succinct view of conference organizer Les Reed, former assistant deputy minister of the Canadian Forest Service. Mr. Reed is now a professor of forestry at UBC under a special arrangement with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). The UBC conference will be the first of its kind held in Canada. "Canada is the leading forestry nation in the world," said Prof. Reed. "We have to direct more scientific research to its problems, especially those related to our timber supply." Leading researchers from Scandinavia, the U.S. and Canada will participate in the conference. "We're also going to invite some of the best young graduate students in Canada," said Prof. Reed. "Many of them haven't made up their minds about the area of research they are going to pursue yet. If we can turn on their enthusiasm we will have a generation of scientists applying biotechnology to forestry." NSERC is providing $12,000 for the ♦ravel expenses of about 15 graduate students invited to the conference. chairman of the faculty's advisory council. Major users of the library are expected to include faculty members, graduate students, senior undergraduates as well as researchers in the business community outside of the University. The library is on the third floor of the Angus Building. Donner grant aids native education A three-year grant totalling $55,500 has been approved by the Donner Canadian Foundation to help fund a Master of Education program in Educational Administration for native Indians at UBC. Prof. Verna Kirkness, director of native Indian education at UBC, said the grant would make it possible to expand the administrative program, thereby creating further opportunities for graduates of UBC's Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP) as well as for other native Indian students in B.C. and the rest of Canada. The master's program, the only one offered in Canada, was introduced by UBC in September of 1984, with four full-time students. Enrolment is expected to increase to 11 in 1985-86. Prof. Kirkness said a significant number of NITEP grads now have had several years of teaching experience, and some are school principals. Their need is for further education in administration. She said students need on-site experience in both native Indian and urban administrative settings. "Native Indian people are taking charge of their educational systems," she said. "Inherent in this is the need for qualified administrators who can bring to these positions special expertise as well as the life experience of being a native Indian." Prof. Kirkness said the Donner grant is most welcome. "The money will be used for the continuing development and evaluation of the program," she said. Institute series opens Saturday Author Timothy Findley, Nobel Laureates David Hubel and William Fowler, and Vancouver Sun columnist Marjorie Nichols are just four of the speakers on the roster of the 1985 spring series of lectures sponsored by the Vancouver Institute. The lectures, which are free and open to the public, take place in Lecture Hall 2 of the Woodward Instructional Resources Centre on the UBC campus at 8:15 p.m. The series opens on Saturday, Jan. 26, with a talk on "Asian Archaeology: Recent Discoveries" by UBC anthropology professor Richard Pearson. The series continues until Mar. 30 with Michael McCrum of Cambridge University giving the final lecture on "Elitism, Egalitarianism and Excellence." A brochure listing all the Institute lectures is available by calling 228-3131. Two long-time members of UBC's French department, Profs. Ruth White and Larry Bongie, were the recipients of decorations from the French government at a Faculty Club ceremony last week. For services to French culture Prof. White became a Knight of the Order of Academic Palms while Prof. Bongie was named an Officer of the Order. The award, which is made to French and foreign academics, was established early in the 19th century by Napoleon. Make the most of your leisure time with Recreation UBC Sonya Van Niekerk believes strongly that not everything learned at a university should be directed toward a degree. She also believes strongly in the Dictionary of Canadian English definition of recreation: Any form of play, amusement, or relaxation intended to refresh the body or mind, especially after work.' Guided by these beliefs, Miss Van Niekerk has widened the scope of Recreation UBC since taking over as coordinator in 1983, and she is looking forward to even further expansion. Although Rec UBC will still teach you how to play tennis, squash or racquetball, it will also explain the techniques of backpacking, take you to an advanced level of dance, see that you can handle a kayak, or teach you the bidding strategies of contract bridge. Miss Van Niekerk also plans to add a program on survival techniques, a decision she made after a wilderness adventure in northern B.C. over the Christmas break. She and three colleagues from the School of Physical Education and Recreation had to spend a night in an unwinterized cabin east of Barkerville when temperatures in the area dropped to 59 degrees below zero. "As I huddled in my sleeping bag I realized that the one thing that was missing from the wilderness activities program of Recreation UBC was a component on survival techniques," she said. New to UBC is the Rec UBC outdoor equipment rental shop, which offers the best available — from mountain bikes to kayaks and all that's necessary for safe backpacking and tenting. It's located now in the Osborne Centre but will move soon to the War Memorial Gym. Miss Van Niekerk, who attended university in South Africa before earning a teaching diploma at Rhodes University in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), has taught dance at the post-secondary level for 17 years, the last six at UBC. She still teaches three sections of Physical Education 242 but now spends most of her University time with Rec UBC, which she feels gives students, faculty and staff the opportunity to attain proficiency in a variety of activities at minimal cost. Factors in the low charges for Rec UBC courses include the non-profit nature of the service and the fact that no rent is paid for gyms and other campus facilities. Rec UBC instructors, however, are among the best. Teaching dance is Garry Semeniuk of Canada's National Ballet, and bridge instructor Allan Graves brings to his classes the experience gained internationally as a member of Canada's national team. Martial arts instructor Shoyou Liang from China, whose chair at UBC is sponsored by Vancouver's Chinese professional community, is one of only 17 grand masters in the world. Miss Van Niekerk said some of the more popular courses help offset losses sustained in others, and that overall this year Rec UBC is 90 per cent self-supporting. "Next year, I hope, we'll be completely in the clear." Fitness classes within Rec UBC have a total enrolment of more then 350, many of them women doing strength training. "Fitness has become a cult on the ' West Coast," said Miss Van Niekerk, "and most of the gyms in Vancouver are full. Strength training is a new phase of this, but please don't confuse it with body building." All Rec UBC courses are open to students, faculty, staff, alumni and spouses, with some also available to the general community. All but students and their spouses pay a $35 annual membership fee. UBC Reports, January 23, 1985 Computing facility set up in Law The legal profession in Canada should be signing on to the computer age. That's the feeling of Robert Franson of UBC's Faculty of Law. Mr. Franson, who teaches a course on computers and the law and who has been instrumental in the recent development of a computer laboratory in UBC's Law Building, says computers could have a dramatic effect on the efficient administration of justice in Canada. "In the past 30 years a much more complex, intricate system of laws has emerged in Canada. The legal profession is ready for computer technology and the opportunities it presents for the creation of data bases of case law, the exchange of expertise between professionals, and continuing legal education and computer-assisted instruction for lawyers and law students. Mr. Franson says that although computerized data bases of case law have been in existence since 1970, when Hugh Lawford, a Queen's University professor, developed a case law computer program called Quik-Law, little advancement has taken place since. "Aside from word processing and accounting, the legal profession has not taken advantage of the advances in computer technology that have occurred in the past decade," he says. "We're hoping the initiatives we're taking at Robert Franson UBC will increase knowledge and understanding in this area." The Faculty of Law received grants totalling $65,000 from UBC and the Law Foundation of B.C. to purchase equipment for a computer lab which will be completely in place in the Curtis Building by September. The facility will have 10 personal computers, which will be used for the most part by students taking Law 422, a course on Computers and the Law. "Unfortunately, it won't be feasible to open the lab to all students because of its limited size, but we're seeking additional funding which would make it possible to expand the facility," said Prof. Franson. "I think it's crucial that we familiarize our students with computers and how they can apply the technology to their profession," says Mr. Franson. "The computers will also be used by faculty members to develop computer-assisted instruction for students, data bases of expertise and programs to guide students in legal research." He adds that computer technology and its development can open new lines of communication between UBC's law school and the legal profession. "We've had a lot of interest and enthusiasm about our work from legal' organizations and lawyers in the community," says Mr. Franson. "The court system is faced with increasing backlogs and longer and more complex trials Computer-assisted evidence retrieval, document management and automated transcription could significantly improve service in our courts." Senate rejects motion on guaranteed program completion UBCs Senate last week rejected a proposal that would have guaranteed that students would be allowed to complete an existing academic program if that program had to be eliminated in a financial emergency. Debate on the motion, proposed by Convocation Senator Grant Burnyeat, centred on whether the motion was advisory or mandatory. Mr. Burnyeat told Senate he considered it mandatory. A number of Senators said the motion would have the effect of "tying Senate's hands" in that it would limit Senate's options for making recommendations to the president in the event of a financial emergency. Following defeat of the Burnyeat motion, Senate approved the following statement, proposed by Prof. Jonathan Wisenthal of the English department: "Although the University cannot give an absolute commitment that it will never discontinue a program before students have completed it, the University should make every responsible effort to allow students to complete the I program in which they are enrolled." UDC CalcndaR Sportsfest '85 set for Feb. 3 Sportsfest '85, a sports day organized by students in UBC's School of Rehabilitation Medicine for 100 disabled and able-bodied young people, takes place on Sunday, Feb 3. Each disabled youth will be paired with an able-bodied youth between the ages of eight and 18, and they will participate as a team in a variety of special events. "In addition to being a day of fun, we hope Sportsfest '85 will raise public awareness about the potential and need for sport opportunities for disabled youths," said coordinator Karen da Silva. Sportsfest '85 will be held in the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call 733-9377 or 224-1115. Thank you ... Food Services director Christine Samson sends her thanks to members of the UBC community who donated more than $1,300 worth of food during a food drive held on campus last month. The week-long drive was sponsored by Food Services, the Alma Mater Society and Student Housing. Housing opened to campus visitors There is now room at the inn. For manv years UBC's Department of Student Housing and Conferences has had to turn away requests from campus departments for accommodation for visitors during the winter session because of a shortage of on-campus housing for students. But with the addition of the new apartment building being constructed in the Walter Gage Residence, a number of suites in the old Gage lowrise are now being set aside for campus visitors. The suites will be available in September and Student Housing is now taking reservations for the 1985-86 season. For details, call 228-5441.
