'i up a large altercation that took place-\nat the fraternity village.\nPolice were called in around\n11:30pm to handle a disturbance in\nthe village, which is home to seven fra-'\nternities and the Panhellenic House.\n\u25a0 for Sororities. According to the RCMP,\nthe two local officers who arrived orr\nscene were confronted by a fifteen-\nperson brawl. When they attempt-\nM ed to break up the fight, they were\nI | \"swarmed\" in the courtyard, result-\n'f. ing in minor injuries.\nThey then called for reinforcements\nfrom outside RCMP and police forces.\nTwo people were detained for violating the Liquor Control Act, but have\nsince been released without charge.\nNo one was arrested for assaulting\nthe officers.\nIn addition, according to an RCMP\n. media release, officers were approached by a male and informed\nthat someone with a gun was present. Police searched the area but no\n,   gun was located.\nThe party was called \"Golf Pros and\nTennis Hoes,\" and was thrown by the\nDelta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (DEKE),\nwho declined to comment on the incident. Members of that fraternity\nhave also been ordered not to speak\nto the media.\nThe altercation threatens the relatively harmonious relationship that\nhas existed between the fraternities,\npolice and the university over the\npast years.\n\"I've been here five years and I don't\nrecall anything to that degree, where\nwe have fifteen people in an all out\nbrawl,\" said Staff Seargent Kevin Kenna, who heads the University RCMP\nDetachment.\nHe also said that this is the third violent incident this week in which the\nRCMP has gotten involved in the fraternity village.\n\"We had to break up a fight there on\nearly Saturday morning and there was\nanother incident earlier in the week\nwhere an individual got a broken jaw,\nbroken bones and [went] in the hospital,\" he said.\n' In a statement regarding the incident, UBC VP Students Brian Sul-\nl livan chastised the fraternities for\nwhat occurred.'.\n\"The numbers were far beyond\nwhat could be managed,\" he said. \"The\n[fraternities must take responsibility\nfor all individuals they host at their\nparties and in their houses. Many\nclearly failed in this duty.\"\nHe went on to say that \"UBC will work\nwith the RCMP, student and alumni fra- \u25ba\nternity leadership, international fraternity headquarters and all those involved\nto address the illegal behavior displayed\nand ensure it is not repeated.\"\nInter-Fraternity Council (IFC) President Matt Parson said that he was uncertain about the actual events that occurred on Saturday.\n\"It's very cloudy what happened last\n.night,\" said Parson. \"Of course our\nfirst priority is the safety and security of all of our members.\"\n\u2022 He claimed that the people who\ncaused the incident itself were non-\nfraternity members.\n\"It was people who were not really welcome here, asked to leave, and\nwere causing trouble. And honestly,\n\u25a0 that could happen anywhere,\" he said.\n\"It's unfortunate that the fraternity\nsystems are being taken advantage of\nby people outside of the UBC system\nfor the social activities that we offer.\"\nAccording to Parson, the IFC will be\nconducting its own investigation into\nwhat happened and is also considering implementing an identification system in order to keep non-students out.    ',\nHe also pointed out that no gun had\nbeen found by authorities!\n\"Itwas almost hearsay,\" he said. \"It's\nunfortunate that rumours are being published really when it's just one drunk  f\nperson's clouded recollection that's being reported.\" tl\nPRIVATE\nPROPERTY 2\/UBYSSEY.CA\/E VENTS\/2010.09.13\nSEPTEMBER 13,2010\nVOLUME XCII,  N\u00b0IV\nEDITORIAL\nCOORDINATING EDITOR\nJustin McElroy: coordinating@uhyney.ca\nNEWS EDITOR\nArshyMann: news@ubysseyca\nASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR\nSally Crampton : associate.news@ubysseyca\nCULTURE EDITORS\nJonny Wakefield & Bryce Warnes:\nculture@ubyssey ca\nASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR\nAnna Zoria: associate.culture@ubyssey.ca\nSPORTS EDITOR\nJan Turner: sports@ubysseyca\nFEATURES EDITOR\nTrevor Record :features@ubyssey ca\nPHOTO EDITOR\nGeoff Lister: photos@ubysseyca\nPRODUCTION MANAGER\nVirginie Menard: production@ubysseyca\nCOPY EDITOR\nKai Green: copy@ubysseyca\nMULTIMEDIA EDITOR\nTara Martellaro: multimedia@ubysseyca\nASSOCIATE MULTIMEDIA EDITOR\nStephanie Warren:\nassociate.multimedia@ubysseyca\nVIDEO EDITOR\nMatt Wetzler: video@ubysseyca\nWEBMASTER\nJeff Blake: webmaster@ubysseyca\nRoom 24, Student Union Building\n6138 Student Union Boulevard\nVancouver, BC V6T 1Z1\ntel: 604.822.2301\nweb: www.ubyssey.ca\ne-mail: feedback@ubysseyca\nBUSINESS\nRoom 23, Student Union Building\nadvertising: 604.822.1654\nbusiness office: 604.822.6681\nfax: 604.822.1658\ne-mail: advertising@ubysseyca\nBUSINESS MANAGER\nFerniePereira: business@ubysseyca\nAD TRAFFIC\nKathy Yan Li: advertising@ubysseyca\nAD DESIGN\nPaul Bucci: webads@ubysseyca\nCONTRIBUTORS\nKenji Hayakawa Paul Bucci\nKathy Yan Li Yooji Cummings\nGinette Monaco Michael Thibault\nClare Van Norden Jon Chiang\nKatarina Grgic Gerald Deo\nAshley Whillans Karina Palmitesta\nLEGAL\nThe Ubyssey is the official student newspaper of\nthe University of British Columbia.

It's built exactly\nas it sounds: four sleek glass\nwalls encasing working architects. And yes, they will be\nwatching us.\nAccording to architect J.\nBruce Haden, the Cube exists\nto immerse and integrate the architects in the life ofthe campus\nduring the design phase of the\nproject.\n\"It is our intention that we\nwill be doing work out here...\nSite offices are common during\nthe design phase,\" said Haden.\nThe new SUB is expected to\nbe completed in 2014, after\nwhich the current SUB will be\nrenovated.\n\"This building, which was\nbuilt in 1968, at a time when\nthe student population was\n20,000, no longer fits with the\nmission of the student society,\" said AMS President Bijan\nAhmadian.\nThe Cube was built by Dirtt\nEnvironmental Solutions for\nroughly $30,000 and will stay\nup for at least one year. The cost\nof building came out of the architect fees, according to AMS\nVP Administration Ekaterina\nDovjenko.\nThe architects hope that students will come in and share their\nideas on the design as it progresses. There will bea team inside the\nCube, a screen displaying the current progress of the project, and\neventually a model.\n\"Just come in to tell us what\nyou think and have a chat,\" said\nNew SUB Project Coordinator\nAndreanne Doyon.\n\"We wanted to make sure\nthat student input and student engagement is assessed\nfrom across the board,\" said\nDovjenko.\n\"You have the workshops\nand you have the design char-\nrettes, and then you have the\nblog, you have the Facebook\npage, and the Twitter\u2014that's all\ngreat\u2014but then you have the face\nto face contact...If they have any\nfeedback that they want to give\nto the architects, they can do\nthat here,\" she said *u\nBigger is better: Arts's Averill aces Deans' Debate\nYOOJI CUMMINGS &\nARSHY MANN\nnews@ubyssey,ca\nA crush of students dressed in\ncapes and bearing faculty colours poured into a small corner\nof the SUB on Friday, in anticipation of UBC's annual deans'\ndebate.\nThe debate was moderated by The Ubyssey's coordinating editor, Justin McElroy, who quizzed the deans on\ntopics ranging from job prospects to how useful each faculty would be in the event of a\nzombie apocalypse.\nThe new dean of Arts, Gage\nAverill, set the tone of the debate with a quick quip about the\nperception that Arts students\ncan't get jobs and the audience\nresponded with cheers.\nDean of Human Kinetics Bob\nSparks regaled the crowd with\na decidedly cringe-worthy yet\ncharming slam poetry presentation on the inter-disciplinary\nvalue of a Human Kinetics degree and the need for a healthy\nbody.\nThe new Forestry Dean John\nInnes, who had the most enthusiastic supporters at the beginning ofthe debate, declared\nthat his faculty was the best of\nits kind in the world. \"We are\nthe crown jewel in the crown\nof UBC.\"\nDean Tyseer Aboulnasr of Applied Sciences responded to a\nquestion about gender inequity in engineering by arguing\nthat although there may never\nbe an equal gender split in engineering, the women who are\nin the program are as qualified\nas the men.\n\"The only woman sitting here\nat this table is an engineer,\" she\npointed out.\nWhen asked what animal his\nfaculty would be, Land and Food\nSystems Dean Murray Isman responded without a beat.\n\"We're a cow. Cows produce\nmilk. Cows produce meat. Cows\nplow land. Cows do work. Cows\ndo it all,\" he said.\nBut the debate was ultimately decided by Averill's response\nto a question on why Arts students would be best prepared\nagainst the inevitable zombie\napocalypse, despite their lack\nof tangible skills, in the head-\nto-head portion of the debate.\nAverill, a specialist on Car-\nribean musical anthropology,\nwhere the concept of the zombie originates, wowed the crowd\nwith his intimate knowledge of\nall things undead.\nWhereas all ofthe other deans\nargued for cooperation amongst\nthe faculties when it came to a\nzombie attack, itwas Averill who\nmade the case that Arts students\nalone were prepared to defy the\nzombies.\n\"Who better to resist the zom-\nbification process, the removal\nof will and soul and mind than\nstudents who possess the mind,\"\nargued Averill.\nAverill won the debate, which\nwas decided by audience applause, with Forestry and Engineering coming in as close seconds. AMS VP Administration\nEkaterina Dovjenko presented\na beaming Averill with a plaque.\nSauder Dean Daniel Muzyka\nwas unavailable and sent Senior\nAssociate Dean Brian Demmels\nin his stead. Simon Peacock, the\ndean of science, decided not to\nparticipate in the debate.\n\"While I appreciate that this\nevent could be viewed simply\nas fun, I feel strongly that we\nare delivering the wrong message to our students, particularly new students, that we feel\n(even in jest) that one Faculty is\nbetter than another,\" he said in\nan email to the AMS. tl\nNEWS BRIEFS\nMETAL ROD ENSNARES TRANSIT\nSYSTEM FRIDAY MORNING\nLast Friday's morning rush became\na headache for TransLink, as commuters faced up to five hours of delays for the SkyTrain. A metal rod\non the tracks near Main Street Station brought an Expo Line train to\na halt at 7am, forcing passengers\nto cram on already crowded buses. Signs told passengers at Waterfront Station that trains weren't\ntraveling eastbound and everyone\nshould \"expect lengthy delays.\" It's\nestimated that one million people\nuse public transit in Metro Vancouver and 240,000 people take the\nExpo and Millennium Lines\nSTUDENTS WHO CHEAT DON'T\nCARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES\nAccording to a study led by U BC\nProfessor Del Paulhus, students\nwho cheat more likely suffer\nfrom a personality disorder\nthan academic woes. A series\nof three studies published by\nthe American Psychological Association looked at the connection between students who had\ncheated and students whose\npersonality tests revealed narcissism, machiavellianism and\npsychopathy, traits collectively\nknown as the Dark Triad.\nThe studies showed students\nwho weren't worried about punishment were not morally inhibited or felt that cheating was\na perfectly acceptable way to\nachieve their goals. \"Incentives\nsuch as high grades and scholarships seem to activate dishonesty in these individuals,\"\nthe paper stated. \"The achievement goals shared by most college students trigger cheating in\npsychopaths alone.\"\nGOVERNMENT PUTS TWO BILLION\nDOLLARS INTO LOAN PROGRAM\nThe federal government had to\nmove quickly to ensure students\nwould receive student loans, as\nthe pre-legislated federal limit of\n$15 billion meant approximately 50,000 students would have\nbeen without financing for this\nacademic year.\nHuman Resources and Skills\nDevelopment Minister Diane Fin-\nley pushed through a $2 billion\nextension to the student loan\nprogram when it appeard the\nlimit was going to be breached.\n\"The economic downturn resulted in a 10 per cent increase\nin student loan demand, from\n2008-09 to 2009-10, as more\nstudents decided to begin or\ncontinue post-secondary education,\" an HRSDC spokesperson told the Canadian University Press. The HRSDC hadn't expected to reach their $15 billion\nlimit until 2014-15. Finley's order-\nin-council recognized the problem and that a long-term solution would need to be reached.\n\"What this shows us is that\nthere will have to be, sooner\nthan we thought, actual legislative changes made to the Student Financial Assistance Act\n\u2014and it will have to be made\nin Parliament if we are to continue to rely on a loans-based financial assistance system,\" Canadian Federation of Students\nNational Chairperson Dave Molenhuis said. 4\/UBYSSEY.CA\/NEWS\/2010.09.13\nNew dean set to en-Gage arts\nEthnomusicologist to orchestrate UBC's largest faculty\nASHLEY WHILLANS\nawhillans@ubyssey.ca\nOn September 7, Gage Averill\nshared his first day at the UBC\nVancouver campus with thousands of fresh-faced undergraduate students, as the recently appointed dean of Arts.\nWhen The Ubyssey caught up\nwith Averill on his second day,\nhe was busy settling into his\nspacious, still half-empty office,\nand into the role he will hold for\nthe next six years as the dean of\nUBC's largest faculty.\nAs an ethnomusicologist, an\nanthropologist of music, orchestrating one ofthe most diverse\nstudent populations on campus\nis an \"ideal fit\" for Averill, who\nthrives off of the challenges of\nworking with different cultures,\ndifferent sounds and different\nkinds of people.\nAverill's list of unique and\nconstantly evolving skills include playing the Trinidadi-\nan steel pan, Afro-Cuban percussion and the Irish concertina, among other things. But\ndespite his obvious auditory\ninterests, music was not Averill's first career choice after\ngraduating from high school.\nInstead, he began studying\nForestry at the University of\nWashington. However, Averill\nsoon dropped out, thanks to,\namongst other things, his second year calculus final.\n\"One of the things that motivated me to drop out was that\nI wanted to do things that I\ncouldn't do in my studies....I\nwas thinking of gearing up\nfor the Olympics in kayak slalom and I wanted to play music and involve and relate music to community organizing,\"\nhe explained.\nAfter leaving university, Averill kept busy.

Wasting no time, he jumped at the\nopportunity to return to university to complete his BA in\nethnomusicology and has never looked back.\nGoing on to graduate with a\nPhD, he has since chaired the music department at New York University, worked at the University\nof Toronto and Columbia University, and has taught at Princeton\nas a visiting professor.\nRegardless of his experiences\nworking at other noteworthy institutions, Averill was honoured\nto be offered a position at UBC.\n\"Having gone to school in\nWashington state, this was always the region thathad the greatest call for me. The dynamism of\nUBC, its progressive nature, student body and location were all\nattractors,\" Averill said.\nAs far as his goals within the\nposition, Averill says his focus\nis on the university experience.\n\"A dean can help set a tone, and\nI would like to help set that tone\nand make sure that this is a place\nwhere magic can happen for students, staff and faculty\u2014that the\nuniversity is a place where we\nare really free to innovate, play\nand interact with the community,\" he added.\nAverill is excited to embark\non a learning tour of UBC, take\nhis first kayak trip and push\noff into the uncharted territory that comes along with organizing the faculty.\n\"I am looking forward to creating an educational experience\nthat is dynamic, in sync with\nhow students learn and that is\nthe best we can do in the classroom.

The program has been widely\nimplemented in the US. UBC is\nthe second Canadian university\nto try renting textbooks.\nThe new option saves students 55 per cent from the new\nprice ofthe textbook. For example, Essential Cell Biology rents\nfor $90. The same book's purchase price is $200.\nThere are 25 titles to choose\nfrom for renting, most of which\nare used in Science courses. A\ntextbook is intended to be rented\nout for a term, and due back two\ndays after the final exam of the\ncourse the textbook corresponds\nto. \"The textbook is expected to\nbe returned in the same condition it was rented, though it may\nhave some markings,\" explained\nRebecca Irani, the bookstore's\nmarketing and communications\nmanager. She went on to say the\nmarkings could not be excessive.\nThe only catch is that a student has to be nineteen years of\nage and own a valid credit card.\nIf the book is not returned on\ntime, the student will be charged\n(on their credit card) a non-return\nfee for the full price of a replacement and a processing fee.\nIf the pilot program is successful, the bookstore will add more\ntitles to the list of rentals. \"So far,\"\nsaid Irani, \"the interest has been\nsiginificant. We hope to expand on\nit and increase the rentals for the\nnext rush period in January.\" tl\nTECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL STUDENTS\nThe most successful problem solvers look ot ihings differently and\nsee solutions no one else can.

On August 22, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass responded in a lengthy e-mail that\nwas later obtained by the Victoria Times Colonist.\n\"I would like to suggest that\nyou should be more careful in\nspeaking on issues where you\nhave no direct personal knowledge or where you may not be\ngetting accurate information fed\nto you,\" Bass stated in the email.\nHowever, the RCMP recently\nrenewed their contribution of\n$4 million for the next five years\nto fund the Canadian Urban Research Studies program at SFU,\nthe status of which was called\ninto question in the email.\n\"The ongoing bias you display\nagainst the RCMP in [issues]\nsuch as this have caused many\nof us to ask why we would want\nto continue to be in thatpartner-\nship given this apparent lack of\nsupp ort f rom the head of the department,\" threatened Bass, who\noriginally had a hand in creating the program five years ago.\nThe email was also copied to\napproximately 25 high authority figures, including top RCMP\nbrass, municipal police chiefs\nand the president of SFU.\nThe email came in response\nto a 400-page report released\nby the Vancouver Police Department on August 20 places significant blame on the Mount-\nies over the past 10 years, further echoing Gordon's assertions\nabout the bungled missing-women investigation.\n\"It was clear that the RCMP\nwere caught flat-footed. They\nwere not prepared for the release of that report at that time,\"\nGordon told The Peak\n\"It's one thing to send me a\npersonal email chastising me,\"\nexplained Gordon. \"But the\nthinly-veiled threat to [pull]\nfunding from the [criminology department] touched a raw\nnerve with a lot of people.\"\nDespite the intimidating tone\nof the email, both Gordon and\nBass have insisted his comments\nwere not intended as a threat to\npull funding from the institute.\n\"I figured this was a knee-jerk\nreaction and he would ultimately regret doing it,\" stated Gordon\nabout his first impression of the\nemail, although he noted that he\nresponded to Bass' comments\nprivately.\n\"It was something that needed to be responded to because it\ntouches on the very core of critical inquiry, which is what a university is usually all about. We're\nnot servants ofthe state.\"\nDuring a public interview two\nweeks ago, Bass restated that his\ncomments were not serious. \"It\nwas a comment I made based\non concerns that had been addressed to me,\" Bass reiterated\nin an interview on September 3.\n\"We have no intention of pulling\naway from that contract. We have\na great relationship with SFU.\"\nSince the email was made public, Gordon has received numerous phone calls and emails from\nacademics across Canada praising him for not backing down.\n\"I have no intention of sitting\nin a corner and cowering because\nof what Gary Bass wrote to me. I\nwill continue to advocate for what\nI see as important in this province\u2014police reform.

Food sovereignty\nis defined on the group's website as\n\"the right and ability of an individual or community to grow or raise\nan ample quantity of healthy ecologically sustainable food.\" This\nis a right that many believe is still\nnot widely respected due to government and corporate policies\nand practices.\nBy biking across North America,\n11 riders aimed to raise awareness\nas well as a sum of $ 10,000 US to donate to farmers in Bolivia. Among\nthe riders were UBC students Dylan\nS.J. Rawlyk (Science), liana Fonar-\niov (Arts), Natalie Carver (Arts) and\nRodrigo Samayoa (Arts), as well as\nUBC alumni Amelia Lukic-Kegel,\nBarrett Swinhart and Benjamin\nAmundson. The daunting 3000\nmile route started in Pordand, Oregon, continued through Washington, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and New York, until finally\narriving in Boston. The journey\nwas completed in 57 days. The average riding distance per day was\napproximately 70 miles.\nRiders on the Food Tour, somewhere in the American midwest. PHOTO COURTESY OF RODRIGO SAMAYOA\nEach night during the trip, a differ entlocal farm, NPO or NGO provided food and shelter for the riders. It also showed them the situation on the ground. Meeting with\nlocal farmers revealed the difficulties of getting locally grown options\ninto large chain stores. For instance,\nFonariov reports via the group's official blog how a Save-On-Foods\nbranch in Clarkston, Washington\nsupplied their cherries, apples and\npeaches from California, despite\nthe staff's wish to source produce\nlocally. Some major obstacles for\nchange, according to Fonariov, are\ncompany policies upheld by grocery stores against buying directly from producers.\nFarmers across the continent\nare having difficulty finding places\nwhere they can sell their produce,\nsaid Carver. She tells the story of\ntwo organic farmers in South Dakota: \"Though Bill and Julie have\nastounding productivity with their\nproduce and animals, they do not\nhave a market oudet. Bill told us that\nthere is no demand for their organic products and so no connection\nexists between them and would-be\nconsumers.\"\nThe spiritual side of local farming also made a deep impression\nupon the riders. FromHeavenly Hills\nHarvest farm, located in Grandview,\nWashington, Rawlyk tells the story\nof afarmer named Ben who started\nworking the land just four years ago\nwithout anyprevious experience, as a\nway of addressing the issue of food\nsecurity. Rawlyk writes that Ben's\n\"reasons for farming have since diverged from the former, buthave fo-\ncusedon the beauty ofwatching [his]\nefforts grow into wonderful plants.\"\nSamayoa recounts one particularly rich evening he spent at a\nranch in Twodot, Montana: Attheir\nbeautiful ranch we had some conversations about many topics including the history of the land,\nnearby Indian reservations, beef\nproduction, all while eating some\ndelicious burgers they had prepared for us.\" vl\nTo find out more on how to contribute, as well as for detailed,\nday-to-day reports ofthe trip, visit the Farm Tour of America's official website at bikeacrossameri-\nca.wordpress.com.\nBelkin Gallery hosts modern MFA works\nSydney Hermant's \"After Second Nature,\" dripping at the Belkin. JON CHIANG PH0T0\/THE UBYSSEY\nCLARE VAN N0RDEN\nContributor\nThe Belkin Art Gallery's latest\nshowing, Here Today, Gone Today, is a weird and wonderful\ndisplay featuring the work of\nfive UBC Fine Arts grads. But\nlike most worthwhile art, it's\nrecommended to view it with\nthe insight and assistance of\nthe guide booklet.\nHere Today features statues,\nphotos, chalkboards, collages of library cards and movies. A film by Keesic Douglas,\nprojected onto a Hudson's Bay\nCompany blanket, follows two\nmen on a journey to trade the\nblanket back for the pelts the\nFirst Nations originally bought\nit with. The catch? They're making the trip by canoe. It's about\nhalf an hour long, though, so\nbe prepared for a lot of hardcore standing still.\nIf film isn't your thing, you\ncan wander off and check out\nsome of the sculptural works\non display, like the fourteen-\nfoot-tall, bright orange \"Teeter-\nSlaughter,\" a combination guillotine and teeter-totter. And if\nthe name isn't awesome enough,\nthis is artyou can actually ride,\nadjustable seat and all. It even\nhas a mini-sandbox underneath\nifyou somehow manage to fall\noff. The \"Teeter-Slaughter\" was\ndesigned by Fan-Ling Suen.\nYou'll also want to check out\n\"After Second Nature,\" a sculpture so new it's still dripping. Essentially, it's a bunch of everyday vessels with holes poked in\nthe bottom suspended by colourful ropes over some newspaper\nstalagmites. The containers\u2014an\nassortment of everything from\nStarbucks cups to cat food tins-\nare filled with paint, which leaks\nout and splatters everything in\nbright colours. It's sort of like if\na giant, rainbow-coloured spider raided a painter's garbage\ncan and spun it all into one massive web.\n\"The disposability ofthe single serving to-go vessel has to\ndo with time, production and\natomization, which generates a\nlack of care,\" said artist Sydney\nHermant. \"Or maybe it's not that\nwe don't care, it's that we don't\nhave time, just at this moment,\nto care. Through a kind of creative repurposing, I am attempting to care for these objects. By\ngiving them a second life, I can\nstretch their moment out a bit,\ncarve out some time where initially there wasn't any.\"\nHermant said the concept has\nbeen kicking around in her head\nsince 2006. She has represented\nthis idea with plaster maquette\nand a video installation, before it\ntook on its current incarnation.\n\"My work happens through alot\nof trial and error,\" she said. \"And\nby allowing the ideas and materials to take long strolls before it\ngets to a place where it's more at\nhome with what it's trying to do.\"\nWhether you're in the mood\nfor deep thought or just trying\nto kill some time between class,\nthe Belkin is definitely worth a\nlook.

Set on a bare stage with minimal props and set, the audience\nis forced to stare at the only animated object on the stage\u2014an\nAsian lady named Shoshinz, garishly clad in warm bright colours\nand many, many flowers. Her performance lives up to her outfit.\nThere is very little\nspeech, but a lot of\ngarbled sing-alongs.\nShoshinz singing to her rebellious sock puppet foot to sleep was\none of the best things I have seen\nfor a while, and one of the many\nridiculous pieces of Miss Hiccup's\nlife. There is very litde speech in\nthe one-woman show, but a lot of\ngarbled sing-a-longs to epic orchestra music. Her entire day is\na mesh of daily regular chores,\nwhich break into kooky, enthusiastic dance routines.

They're either fucking\nor they're heartbroken, and sometimes the two overlap. The city\ndepicted in the minimalist What\nYou Want is represented by the\nlives of Dave, who has returned\nto Vancouver after a near death\nexperience, and a trio of characters connected by their sexual histories. Given the subject matter,\nit's an accomplishment that the\nplay never feels crude.\nTempleton is the ever-present\npuppet master, speaking to the\naudience in the guise of the actors about his own homecoming\nand struggles to finish the play.\nIn places, it feels like What You\nWant is less the story of its characters, and more Templeton's\nattempt to understand Vancouver's changes in his absence. The\nresulting script is postmodern\nwithout being self-indulgent,\nand Templeton's use of narration shows incredible restraint.\nThe play attempts to cover\ntoo much thematic territory in a\nshort time. Ideas of home, truth\nand obligation are hinted at but\nnever fully realized. However,\nthe dialogue is genuinely funny and the actors give sincere\nand enthusiastic performances.\nWhat You Want is a thoroughly engaging, modern exploration of desire, authenticity and\nthe philosophical differences\nbetween ass men and tit men.\n\u2014Ginette Monaco\nThe Vancouver International\nFringe Festival runs on and around\nGranville Island through September 19.

Maybe this\ncould be a larger metaphor about\nthe importance of helping people up when life knocks them\ndown. Maybe rock and roll can\nsave lives. Or maybe I was just a\ndrunk fool and people were nice\nenough to try and avoid stepping on my head. At the time it\nseemed like a beautiful statement, but now I can't help but\nremember the four dollar beer\nand the 2000 people who didn't\ngive a shit. And the cynicism\nkicks in.\nAt the end ofthe day, there is\nno grand statement. I danced\na lot and I had a lot of fun, and\nthat's what these things are supposed to be for.

CA\/S PORTS\/9\nSPORTS\nEDITOR IAN TURNER\u00bbsports@ubyssey.ca\nCourtside Comment: Two UBC teams get big upsets\nIAN TURNER\nsports@ubyssey.ca\nHeading out to Friday's men's\nsoccer match, I hesitantly\nchecked online to find out by\nhow much the football team was\nbehind. UBC, who lost their first\ngame of the year and out-scored\ntheir opponents in one game last\nyear, were playing the nation's\nNo. 2 ranked team, the Saskatchewan Huskies, who the week before defeated the No. 1 ranked\nCalgary Dinos.\n7-1 for UBC. I reloaded the\npage immediately. 7-1 for UBC.\nWishing I had a phone with\ninternet capabilities, I ran off to\nwatch men's soccer\u2014in this case,\nthe ninth-ranked UBC versus\nthird-ranked Trinity Western.\nEarly on, you could sense the\ngame was taking a South African World Cup final turn with\nthe amount of whistles.\nFive minutes in, a Trinity\nWestern player appeared to suffer a concussion. The stands \u2014\nabout half filled by Trinity supporters \u2014 roared. They wanted\nthe alleged villain, UBC defence-\nman Jack Cubbon, tossed out of\nthe game. During the next play,\na Spartan appeared to kick UBC\ngoaltender Zach Kalthoff in the\nface. A small kerfuffle broke out.\nIt wasn't the only way the\ngame mirrored Netherlands-\nSpain, as Spartan Rhys Volke-\nnant picked up a yellow card\nin the worst possible spot: the\nUBC's Victor Marshall had one catch for 44 yards. PETE YEE\/THE SHEAF\npenalty box. With 45 minutes\nplayed, midfielder Marco Visintin lined up to the penalty shot.\n\"I usually go left. He was trash\ntalking us from two years ago because one of our players missed.\nSo I had to switch it up,\" Visintin said after the game. Visintin\nwent top right and got the goal,\nputting UBC up 1-0.\nOn the sideline, Associate Athletic Director Theresa Hansen\nwas ecstatic. UBC football was\nup 20-5. Hunting for a bathroom,\nUBC's athletic director Bob Philip popped up behind me. He,\ntoo, was noticeably excited by\nthe football lead.\nI, too, was happy: Philip would\nknow where the restrooms were.\n\"You think we're going to hold\non against Saskatchewan?\" Philip asked.\nWe bantered amiably about\nfootball. At the end, I asked\nwhere the restrooms were. Philip gave directions.\nBut the doors were locked.\nHow this problem was resolved\nwill not be addressed.\nBack at my corner ofthe pitch,\none regular at many varsity\ngames asked a man for the score\nthree times. The first time he\nwas told, the regular told the\nman not to bullshit him. The\nscore was repeated with a smile.\nUp two goals, UBC soccer got\nanother boost in the thigh: for\npulling a UBC's player's shirt,\nVolkenant got a yellow card.\nStrutting over to the TWU bench,\nred-carded Volkenant blamed\nthe referee; TWU's head coach\nPat Rohla told his player to keep\nhis chops shutbecause he'd just\nput the team under enormous\n\"duress.\"\nBut Trinity kept the fight\nup. Knocking the ball out of\nKalthoff's hands, a Spartan\npounded the ball into the net.\nAgain, a scrum of sorts broke\nout. A snide comment from the\nTrinity bench pierced the air.\nA sharp glance at TWU's bench\nby UBC men's soccer head coach\nMike Mosher was the retort. The\ngoal was waved off.\nA few plays later, UBC seemingly bulldozed Spartan goaltender Andrew Kowan in the process of scoring their third goal.\nThere too, a ruckus between UBC\nand TWU happened, but the goal\ncounted. The final score was 3-0.\nBy the end, the ref had handed out 12 yellows and 2 reds,\nas the fierce rivalry continued\nunabated.\nWith the game concluded, I\nwent back to headquarters \u2014 The\nUbyssey offices \u2014 where the final\nfootball score was viewed: 31-12.\nExcitedly, I texted The Ubyssey's coordinating editor, Justin\nMcElroy: \"UBC beat Sask app.\n30-12. Frontpage?\"\n\"Not front. But tease. And also:\nholy shit,\" McElroy responded.\nAs I headed out, I made a mental note to bring my voice recorder into the office tomorrow. I expected that the three players I'd\ncall\u2014running back David Boyd,\nquarterback Billy Greene, and a\ndefensive line Serge Kaminsky\u2014\nwould be yelling and swearing\nprofusely on the other line when\ndiscussing their victory.\nSadly, that never happened.\nKaminsky sounded like he\nwas napping. Not much emotion, just a friendly \"Thank you\nfor calling me\" at the end. Boyd\nhad his two feet firmly planted\non the ground. No plans for a\nrowdy party. Greene gave an energetic summary of the game,\nbut didn't have a limo tour party organized.\nBoyd: \"When we finished the\nAlberta game,\"\u2014a 36-28 loss\u2014\n\"we were kinda nervous because\nwe had heard what they did to\nCalgary. And we all know how\ngood Calgary is.\"\nKaminsky: \"6000 fans screaming at us, chirping at us. We all felt\ngreat. I said, these guys are not\ngoing to be talking in five minutes. We justmarched down their\nthroats. It just felt great.\"\nGreene: \"We just shocked\nthem.\"\nNot the expected Friday, tl\nSeason Preview: Men's soccer team aims high\nIAN TURNER\nsports@ubyssey.ca\nMostyears, it's an optimistic cliche, but this year for the men's\nsoccer team at UBC, it's true:\nnothing less than a CIS Championship will do.\n\"It should be to win absolutely\neverything. I've never been on\na team as stacked essentially as\nthis. Nothing short of almost a\nperfect season. Our team is looking very strong,\" fifth-year midfielder Ryan Reynold said.\nThat goal comes from last\nyear's early finish in the playoffs.\nAfter a 10-3-1 regular season, marked by a win late in\nthe season against Alberta to\ngain home-field advantage, they\nlost in the first round ofthe playoffs to Alberta, 1-0.\n\"We didn't play to our capabilities on the day...I think it\nreally sticks with and haunts\nthe group of which almost everybody is back. And that becomes a real focal point...This\nis ayear about national championships,\" said UBC soccer head\ncoach Mike Mosher.\nTo that end, Mosher has an enviable problem: a team that is\ntoo stacked, largely because of\nthe Vancouver Whitecaps' new\nresidency program.\n\"We've been real benefactors\nof some ofthe stuff they've done\nover the last couple of years.\nThat being, starting up a youth\nprogram\u2014ayouth residency program for really some ofthe elite\nplayers in Canada. We're going\n!\u2022\nUBC's goaltender Zach Kalthoff earned a shutout on Friday night. MICHAEL THIBAULT\/THE UBYSSEY\nto field, like, six or seven of those\nplayers. We've had three or four\nover the last couple years, and\nnow, we've just added, in the last\ncouple of months, two or three\nmore,\" Mosher said.\n\"To crack the starting 11 is\nno joke. Ifyou're in the starting\n11 that's an accomplishment.\nEven being number one or two\noff the bench is very hard to\ndo\u2014we were saying you could\nfield two teams and still have\na legitimate chance of doing\nvery well. It's very competitive,\"\nReynolds said.\nThe players Mosher gets are\noften those who are unable or\nunwilling to continue playing\nin the MLS or Europe.\nAll these additions make it\ntough for others to climb up the\nranks.\n\"What's tough is that we've\nseen some kids skyrocket,\nwho've just taken off and gotten so much better, but the quality ofthe team this year\u2014it's really hard to break in.

But\nit took a few more pleas until a\nplayer hustled into the practice.\nA snap later, head coach\nShawn Olson marched over to\nthe players on the sideline. He\nsternly told them they had to\nhop into practice if asked to.\nThis disciplined coaching approach is central to the new culture Olson is seeking to instill\nat UBC football.\n\"We as a staff are all positive\ncoaches. Saying that, we also\nare a very demanding staff,\"\nsaid defensive coordinator Jerome Erdman.\nSeven months into his new\ngig, Olson is pleased with his\ncrew. \"Our guys have bought\ninto [the new system],\" he said.\nAfter getting hired, Olson had\na simple, clear message for his\nplayers: \"Every position is wide\nopen. As a coaching staff, we\nare going in with an open mind\nand will evaluate the talent we\nhave at every position.\"\nLast year's starting quarterback Billy Greene got the\nmessage.\n\"I had to show I was willing to\nwork for it, put in the time and\neffort... He didn't want anyone\nto take anything for granted\nand then not breed a competitive environment,\" Greene said.\nIn training camp, he again secured the starting job.\nIt's at the backup spot where\nOlson's open-mind philosophy\nis apparent. Rookie Carson Williams, an Abbotsford native,\nappears to have secured the\nnumber two spot amid tough\nUBC head coach Shawn Olson during Training Camp. COURTESY OF RICHARD LAM\/UBC ATHLETICS\ncompetition from a former\nNCAA red-shirt and five others.\n\"Ideally, I wouldn't have an\n18-year-old as our backup, but\nevery day we preach that we\njudge what we see, and in that\ncase, he's the front runner for\nthe backup at this point,\" Olson\nsaid in training camp. This past\nweekend, Williams was the second-string quarterback.\nIt is not the only less-than-\nperfect situation Olson has\nfound himself in since getting\nhired.\nIn August, Olson found himself slapping paint on an unused\noffice at Thunderbird Arena,\nwhich he then converted into an\nassistant coaches' office.\n\"Nothing can be beneath you\nifyou expectyour guys to do it.\nI will never ask someone to do\nsomething I wouldn't do myself. I have to walk the walk,\"\nOlson said.\n\"I think it's important that\nyou feel a sense of pride being at\nthis university. I mean, this university is one of the best in the\nworld academically. To be a football player at the University of\nBritish Columbia should mean\nsomething to these guys. And in\norder to make that happen, you\ncan't be living in a crap hole.\"\nTo instill pride into the program, he spent dozens of hours\nover the summer upgrading the\n\"Heritage Room\" at the Stadium.\nProminently written on the wall\nat the front ofthe room are the\ndates when UBC won a national\nchampionship: 1892, 1986 and\n1997, the year Olson was the\nstarting quarterback for UBC.\nWith the makeover mostly\ndone, starting running back\nDavid Boyd feels like a rookie.\n\"It's been a complete overhaul and I feel like I'm in my\nfirst year,\" Boyd said. \"When\nI came in to get my gear fitted\nthe Monday before camp started, my locker was gone.\"\nThen there's the new turf\nfield: \"It's massive,\" said Olson.\n\"Absolutely massive on so many\nfronts. From a recruiting perspective, it's one thing to watch\na recruit on the field and they\nsee a pothole, or they see a nice\nturf field with a huge Thunderbird logo in the middle.\"\nAs for recruiting, he's been\nvery active. Last term, itwas almost a weekly occurrence to see\nOlson speed-walking with a potential recruit around campus.\nRecruiting is exhausting and\ntime consuming. By his own admission, Olson rarely sees his\nfamily, particularly his four-\nyear-old son, these days.\nTo ease his burden, Olson\nlured Vancouver native Jerome\nErdman from McGill University\nto be the defensive coordinator.\nErdman, you could say, is the\nperfect assistant coach. He was\na standout at SFU as a defensive\nback. He won a Grey Cup with\nwith the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1984. For five years, he\ncoached the linebackers or special teams for the Hamilton Tiger Cats, a CFL franchise.\nAnd this iiber-experienced\nfootball coach doesn't want to\nbe a head coach.\n\"I have absolutely no intention to ever be a head coach\n'cause I love coaching too much.\nMy passion is for coaching the\ngame, and for dealing with the\nplayers. When you get to be a\nhead coach you're dealing with\na lot of other issues,\" Erdman\nsaid.\nIn fact, after leading a nomadic life\u2014Erdman has\ncoached in six different cities in\nEurope and Canada in the last\n20 years\u2014he's looking to settle\ndown. \"I'm just at the stage now\nwhere I just want to teach and\nstay hopefully somewhere for\na while,\" Erdman said.\nAnd just such a mentality\nwill help Olson lay the foundation for a successful program. \"My goal is not just to\nwin games this year. Any team\ncan win games in a season. A\nlucky break. A lucky bounce...I\nwant to have a great program.\"\nSo with a new field, lockers,\noffices and a plethora of recruits, what's holding the team\nback from success this year?\n\"Getting guys to become a\nteam, having everyone gel as\na team. That's usually what determines the great teams from\nthe good teams,\" Olson said.\n\"It's one thing for me to keep\nguys accountable, it's another\nthing for our captains or our\nrookies to say, 'Hey man, that's\nnot good enough, that's not how\nwe do things... I think we're getting there.\"\nThey may already be there.\nFollowing Friday's upset over\nthe No. 2 ranked Saskatchewan\nHuskies, defensive line Serge\nKaminsky credited the win to\nteam unity: \"We just did our assignments. We trusted the person next to us to do their job.\nAnd we executed.\" tl\nCANADIAN\nBREAST CANCER\nFOUNDATION\n4fl\nFONDATION\nCANADIENNEDU\nCANCER DUSEIN\"\nPOSTGRAD FELLOWSHIP\nCOMPETITION\nCALL FOR PROPOSALS\nRECEIVE UP TO\n$50,000 - $80,000\nDEADLINE\nNOVEMBER 15, 2010\nREGISTER AT\nwww.cbcf.org\/bcyukon\nand click 'funding' for more details.\nAll qualified candidates are invited to apply for funding to study breast health and breast cancer.

You\nalso might have heard that they\nare proposing $24 in increases. And you are probably wondering why a group that lobbies against rising tuition and\nancillary fees at the university is now turning around and\nasking you for more money.\nThe answer is quite simple:\nwe don't have enough money\nto keep doing what we do for\nstudents much longer.\nThe last general fee increase\nhappened in 1982. The value of\nthat fee is worth less than half\nof its original amount due to\ninflation. Most commitments\nheld by the AMS are tied to either the Canadian Consumer Price Index, or a higher increase. On top of these increases, there is a need for an increased number of staff, as the\ncomplexity and size of the organization increases. Our revenues are worth less everyyear.\nIn 2008 we asked\nyou to help us\nbuild a new SUB,\nand now we are\nasking for your\nhelp in ensuring\nthe AMS's future.\nThe AMS executives this year\nhave committed themselves to\nensuring the financial sustainability of our 95-year-old organization, and we are coming to\nyou today with hat in hand asking foryour help. We have each\nput our extended health and\ndental coverage, worth $6000\ntotal, towards this cause. This\nreferendum is one of the most\nnecessary in AMS history, compensating for fees that haven't\nchanged in 28 years, and introducing new project fees that\nare long past due. In 2008 we\nasked you to help us build a\nnew SUB, and now we are asking for your help in ensuring\nthe AMS's future.\nBut we need everyone's help.\nThrough this referendum we are\nstriving to increase engagement\non campus, to provide more tangible services for students and\nto help make our campus as inclusive and accessible as possible. The AMS execs are willing\nto give 120 per cent, but we are\nonly a handful of students\u2014we\nneed your undergrad societies,\nclubs, resource groups, service\nstaff, frats, sororities and athletic teams to make this happen.\nBut most of all, we need your\nAMS Student Council to commit the time and energy necessary to accomplish this overwhelmingly difficult feat. Without the support and dedication ofyour student representatives, the AMS will have to\nrely on its stagnant fees to provide increasingly expensive\nservices to students. We have\namongst the lowest fees in the\ncountry and are struggling immensely It's time for us to plan\nfor the future, and start doing\nmore for the students of UBC.\n\u2014Elin Tayyar and Jeremy McElroy are the VP Finance and VP External ofthe Alma Mater Society.\nUBC should fully disclose\ninformation about animal\nANNE BIRTHISTLE\nPerspective\nFew Vancouver residents and\nstudents know UBC has an extensive animal research program. Every year, the university conducts thousands of research projects involving animals, some of which employ\npainful and ultimately lethal\nprocedures. Nearly all of the\nresearch is conducted behind\nclosed doors with little public\nscrutiny.\nAccording to a January 25,\n2008 article published in the\nUBC student newspaper, The\nUbyssey, \"UBC is one of the\nlargest bio-medical campuses\nin the country. The ACC [Animal\nCare Center] distributes some\n100,000 creatures, both large\nand small, to dozens of UBC-af-\nfiliated research projects.\" The\npaper also reported the universi-\nMuch of UBC's\nanimal research is\nfunded with public\nmoney\nty experiments on a wide variety\nof animals, such as mice, pigs,\nsheep, non-human primates,\nrats and rabbits.\nDespite the questionable merit of animal experimentation, a\ngrowing unease with such research and breakthroughs in\nnon-animal alternatives, the\nuse of animals in \"science\" has\nsteadily increased in Canada.\nData from the Canadian Council\non Animal Care (CCAC), which\noversees animal research,\nshows the numbers of animals\nused in research have risen\nfrom less than 1.8 million in\n1998 to nearly 2.3 million animals in 2008.\nIn February, Stop UBC Animal Research was formed by local citizens\u2014including UBC students, alumni, and faculty\u2014out\nof concern for animals at the\nuniversity. Our months-long investigation of UBC reveals some\nofthe university's animal experiments are highly invasive. One\nUBC researcher, for example,\nhas experimented on cats for\n30 years. In 2008 he received a\nfive-year, federally-funded grant\nfor continued animal research.\nIt is revealing and troubling\nwhat the university has sanctioned. In his papers, including\none published in 2008, the researcher described how he had:\n\u2014Implanted electrodes into\ncats' foreheads, brains, bones\nbehind the eyes, and neck muscles. Electrode wires were attached to a plug on a restraining device permanently fixed to\nthe cats' skulls.\n\u2014Cut open the backs of cats\nto expose their vertebrae. Titanium screws were inserted\ninto the cats' spinal columns to\ninhibit movement. A restraint\nchamber was built around the\ncats' exposed vertebra to give researchers access to the cats' spinal columns and to fix the animals in a sitting position for recording sessions.\n\u2014Implanted the devices so\nmeasurements could then be\ntaken of spinal cord neurons\nwithout having to use anesthetic.\nUnfortunately, the university has been less than forthcoming about its research. UBC\nhas yet to provide us with protocols used in animal experiments and has twice denied\nour request for information under provincial freedom of information law. While published\nstudies can be found on sites\nsuch as PubMed, information\nabout UBC's research\u2014such as\ndata, veterinary and necropsy reports, non-compliance records, photos and video\u2014is not\navailable.\nThe US, on the other hand,\nhas a far more transparent system. The National Institutes of\nHealth and the US Department\nof Agriculture post comprehensive information about animal\nexperiments online, allowing\nfor public review of research.\nTo make matters worse, animal research in Canada is not\nwell regulated. Contrary to UBC\nofficials' assertions, CCAC guidelines are voluntary. The CCAC\ncan release reports of non-compliance to funding agencies but\nthose agencies have the discretion to deny funding. From its\nwebsite, the CCAC notes the creation of \"a voluntary control program exercised by scientists in\neach institution.\" In addition,\nnon-compliance records are not\nmade available and CCAC assessments of UBC's research are confidential, which means the public has no way of knowing if the\nuniversity has violated animal\ncare standards.\nMuch of UBC's animal research is funded with public\nmoney. At the very least, UBC\nshould disclose the numbers\nand species of animals used in\nexperiments and protocols used\nin university research. Thatway\nstudents, donors, alumni and\nthe public can make informed\ndecisions about supporting a\nuniversity that engages in activities many find objectionable\nand of marginal scientific utility.\n\u2014Anne Birthistle is a member of\nStop UBC Animal Research, sto-\npubcanimalresearch.org.\nGRAND\nOPENING!\nUBC RUNNING ROOM\nWEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15th\nDoors open at 9:30 a.m.\nHonour Our Troops and First Responders 5K run & 2.5K walk\nto support The Honour House Society\nTo follow the ribbon-cutting at 6:00 p.m.\nMeet John Stanton\nJohn Stanton knows how to get people moving.

WRITE US A LETTER\u00bbfeedback@ubyssey.ca\nEDITORIAL\nFRATERNITIES SHOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE\nLet us play a game. Suppose there was one group,\nuniversal to all campuses, that was seen by some\nas boorish, misogynistic, drunk, violent and generally lacking in basic faculties. Now pretend that\nthere was a giant party on their property which\nled to a fight, which led to an attempted assault\non police officers, which led to a national story\u2014\nexcept only the police were talking, and the situation was probably more complex than it seemed.\nWould coverage be fair? Would people resort to\nbaseless assumptions?\nLaboured analogies aside, this is our main\nfear following Saturday night's fracas: that stereotypes and biases shape people's response,\nand the divide between fraternities and police\ncontinues to grow. RCMP members say they had\nto break up a 15-person fight. It appears officers\nthemselves were assaulted. Things got out of\nhand, and the only people to blame are the fraternities themselves.\nBut there are other facts. Each of the fraternities is a separate organization, with a separate\nbuilding, so saying there was one party \"with\n500 to 1000 people attending\" isn't just an exaggeration, it's downright impossible. In addition,\nit was UBC's decision over a decade ago to cram\nall ofthe fraternities into one spot next to market housing and the RCMP, creating the no-win\nsituation that currently exists. Finally fraternities have evolved over the years. Today they are\nmore of a conservative networking brotherhood\nrather than an Animal House boozepit\u2014Friday\nnights excepted.\nThe fraternities aren't 100% to blame here. But\nwe don't know both sides of the story yet.\nThe first weekend of the year, when thousands\nof students are looking for a place to drink, and\nyou didn't have better security? A bonehead move.\nBut after the incident occurs, not giving any\ncomment, allowing police to shape the narrative and give everyone reign to make negative\nassumptions? That is foolish.\nWe would have loved to let students know the\nfrats' side ofthe story. Sadly they refuse to talk, tl\nINTO THE WOODS\nOver the past 30 months, there have been three\ndeaths in Pacific Spirit Park. One of them\u2014that\nof Wendy Ladner-Beaudry whose body was discovered on April 5, 2009\u2014is being investigated\nas a homicide. No news regarding possible suspects or motives has surfaced since then. Police\nhave ruled out foul play in the deaths of two other women.\nThe latter two can be attributed to one of three\ncauses: accidental, 'natural,' or suicide.\nThese deaths are tragic and shocking enough\non their own. And the silence following them offers no comfort. Unless murder is involved, the\nRCMP are not obliged to release the identity of deceased persons, or the cause of death. And from\nthe public's perspective, the investigation into the\nhomicide in Pacific Spirit Park has born no fruit.\nIn June, after the discovery ofthe third body,\nThe Province ran a headline that read, \"Has the\nPacific Spirit Park killer struck again?\" It's tempting to indulge in this sort of sensationalism, but\nnot useful. No phantom killer on the loose is to\nblame for the tragedies of the past two years.\nPacific Spirit Park is not remote, but it is isolated. Narrow trails cutting through thick forest, poor light, few nearby residents\u2014these factors all play a role in making the park a potentially dangerous place to frequent. Someone who\nseriously injures themselves in such surroundings would have difficulty finding aid. And the\nsense of separation from the outside world the\nPark offers could make it an attractive place for\na suicidal person to end their life.\nThere are plenty of fairy tales where bad things\nhappen in dark woods. Pacific Spirit Park isn't the\nGrimms' Black Forest, but the same lessons apply. There are no wolves or witches in the Park,\nbut the darkness and the trees breed their own\npredators. During the daytime, it's a fine place\nto jog. Recent morbid events haven't detracted\nfrom Pacific Spirit's beauty. Yet it serves as a reminder that just because an area looks peaceful\ndoesn't mean we should forget about our safety, tl\nINTRODUCING THE  NEW\nlAZrs hascot\nL\u00a3NIN   THE   SHAKING\nMARIA CIRSTEA GRAPHIC\/THE UBYSSEY\nCOLUMNISTS\nThree things I want in an AUS politician\nMICHAEL HAACK\nColumnist & AUS Councillor\nAs The Ubyssey reported last week, the\nfinancial accounts of the Arts Undergraduate Society (AUS) were frozen. Sadly this is just one of the many issues\nplaguing the largest undergraduate\nsociety at UBC. But with elections taking place later this month, here's three\nthings I'm looking for in candidates:\n1) BUILD A REAL BUDGET\nRemember the AMS budget? The one\nwith blank cheques, free-flowing cash,\nand no accountability? The only thing\nworse than that is the AUS budget\u2014or\nlack of one. This cannot happen ever.\nIfyou stood outside the SUB and asked\nstudents for $5, they would say no.\nWhy? Because students have a plan.\nThat $5 is an extra sushi plate from\nHonour Roll, or a latte between classes. $13 from every Arts student gets\ntransferred to the AUS because we have\na plan\u2014sometimes.\n2) START SUPPORTING CLUBS\nClubs are integral to the university\nexperience and need to be leveraged\nto effectively engage students. The\nAUS needs to invest more in clubs, by\nspreading out the wealth and the responsibilities inherent with managing money. The gap between Council\nand clubs needs to be bridged. The AUS\nelection has a five percent turnout because a council of 32 people can't effectively engage 12,000 Arts students.\nHowever, we have 26 clubs. If each one\nengages 50-60 students, we're on our\nway to fulfilling our mandate.\n3) BUILD INTEGRITY INTO AUS COUNCIL\nThe AUS has no regulation on proxies. In fact, anyone can show up to\na meeting and say they're a proxy.\nThat's a formula for unadulterated,\nillegitimate power wielded by individuals without accountability. If the\nAUS was looking for interim executives, what's to stop a candidate from\nstacking the meeting with his frat\nbuddies as proxies to get appointed?\nThe bottom line is: take responsibility and keep each other accountable. Be\ncouncillors. We're all friends, but when\nyou're at an AUS meeting, you can't vote\non motions because your friend proposes it. You literally can't\u2014not without seeing the back of my hand. Treat\nthem like councillors with all the rights\nand responsibilities. If that means telling people \"Stop fucking around and\nmake a budget,\" then do it.\nAt the end of the day the AUS swims\nor floats as a unit. Someone might have\nfailed, but everyone else failed to supervise. Apologize, accept responsibility, expect to be held accountable and move on.\nThat's how you should earn your place\nin the AUS. tJ\nCUS mascot selection was a load of bull\nTREVOR RECORD\nfeatures@ubyssey.ca\nLet's face it: the embarrassingly incompetent Arts Undergraduate Society (AUS) is a pretty slow-moving target these days. So we'd like to take a\nbreak from them to make fun of the\nsupposedly iiber-elite Commerce Undergraduate Society (CUS).\nOver the summer, the CUS asked\nfor mascot submissions, planning to\nhold an election to select the one they\nwould adopt. Perhaps they should have\nleft this to Arts\u2014when the mascots that\nthey received weren't a shocking example of how woefully out of touch and un-\nself-aware commerce students are, they\nwere a campaign designed to make fun\nof Sauder. How else would you explain\na llama wearing a tie?\nNaturally several campus media tycoons and I combined forces to craft a\nwell-received series on local blog AMS\nConfidential poking fun at them. Little\ndid we know that the lol-train had yet to\nleave the station.\nIn the \"round one\" election results,\nthe winner was 'Mr Corn-Earth,' a\ngrotesque anthropomorphic globe masquerading as a businessman. Despite\nhis message of global sustainability,\n'Mr Corn-Earth' was obviously based\non two pieces of clip art. In a rare moment of good taste, third and fourth\nplace went to \"none of the above.\"\nThe winner ofthe final round of voting was \"Okima,\" a business lion from\na \"faraway country\" (Japan) who comes\nto Vancouver to appropriate First Nations art. Okima's strong resemblance\nto internet superstar Pedobear went\nunacknowledged by Sauder. \"None of\nthe above\" tied for third.\nOkima's glory would be short-lived.\nIn a July CUS Board of Directors meeting, the CUS decided that their second finalist wouldn't do. Discussions\nrevealed that they required \"a mascot\nthat represents Commerce and CUS in\na stereotypical way.\" So they narrowed\ntheir non-democratic choices down to\nBeeCom, whose emphasis on the hive\nmind represents Commerce students'\ninsect-like conformity and Wally Street,\na business bull with a dislocated jaw.\nUltimately they decided that Wally best\nrepresented them, and by Imagine Day\nhe could be found wandering amongst\nthe booths, terrifyingyounger firstyears.\nWe'd like to congratulate you, Sauder:\nyou picked an apt mascot.\nThe bull, which represents Wall\nStreet and is named accordingly was\nbailed out by a governing body despite\nhis unpopularity with the electorate.\nA self-described \"big deal,\" he walks\naround with a big cow-turd eating grin\nand smug sense of undeserved entitlement. No doubt Wally spends his days\nlogisticizing away secure in his belief\nthat the invisible hand of the market\npropelled him into the top spot.\nSo to recap: the CUS twice held and\nfailed to accept the results of an election. After rejecting their second attempt at the democratic process, their\nBoard of Directors then appointed a\nmascot they felt more strongly reinforced stereotypes about business students. Then they actually spent money on a mascot suit which seems designed specifically to frighten children\nand drive the average Joe far, far away\nfrom this faculty.\nWell, that's one way to make yourselves look elite, tl 16\/UBYSSEY.CA\/ADVERTISEMENT\/2010.09.13\nYour shoes\nYour call\nTalk to your doctor\nfill","@language":"en"}],"Genre":[{"@value":"Newspapers","@language":"en"}],"GeographicLocation":[{"@value":"Vancouver (B.C.)","@language":"en"}],"Identifier":[{"@value":"LH3.B7 U4","@language":"en"},{"@value":"LH3_B7_U4_2010_09_13","@language":"en"}],"IsShownAt":[{"@value":"10.14288\/1.0126174","@language":"en"}],"Language":[{"@value":"English","@language":"en"}],"Provider":[{"@value":"Vancouver : University of British Columbia Library","@language":"en"}],"Publisher":[{"@value":"Vancouver : The Ubyssey Publications Society","@language":"en"}],"Rights":[{"@value":"Images provided for research and reference use only.
