" Expansion of SUB\ngoes underground;\nAMS gets a bargain\nUBC's Alma Mater Society is spending\n$1.5 million to go underground.\nHowever, there's nothing sinister about\nthis project, which involves the creation of\nsome 15,000 square feet of new space\nunder the south plaza of the Student Union\nBuilding between SUB and the Aquatic\nCentre.\nBengal Construction of Burnaby has\nbeen awarded a contract for just over $1.1\nmillion for the excavation and construction\nof the space, which will include two new\nfood facilities, typing and word processing\ncentres, bookable rooms for meetings,\ndances and other social occasions as well as\nclubrooms and an administration and\n130 gifted\nstudents\nvisit UBC\nUBC played host last week to 130 gifted\nand talented high school students from\nacross British Columbia in a pilot program\norganized by the Faculty of Education's\nfield development office.\nThe week-long program for Grade 10\nand 11 students was developed by UBC in\nresponse to requests from school districts.\nGerry Morgan, coordinator of gifted and\ntalented programs in the Windermere\nSchool District, originally requested\nsupport from UBC to provide a challenging\nsummer program for bright students.\nMorgan attended the seminars with\nstudents last week and described the\nprogram as \"outstanding\".\n\"The program wasn't designed as a\nrecruiting package, although we hope\nstudents have a positive image of UBC\nafter spending a week on campus,\" said\nDr. Ron Neufeld, director of the field\ndevelopment office. \"The purpose of the\nprogram was to offer these students a wide\nrange of lectures, workshops, seminars and\ndemonstrations about research being done\nhere at UBC and elsewhere and to give\nthem an idea about what life on a\nuniversity campus is like.\"\nWork being done in the Faculties of Arts\nand Science and the professional schools\nwas emphasized on separate days in the\nprogram. Teaching duties were performed\non a volunteer basis by approximately 75\nUBC faculty members.\nThe program was made possible through\ncooperation between UBC, the Ministry of\nEducation, local school districts, parents of\nparticipating children and the Gifted\nChildren's Association of B.C.\nAmong the topics offered to students\nwere Chinese religion and philosophy,\nethical problems in the practice of law,\napplied particle physics, the Liberal\nleadership convention, technology for\nhandicapped children, hidden dangers in\nbusiness contracts, remote sensing and\nmolecular biology.\nIn addition, the students sampled the\nrecreational side of campus life, including\ntheatre performances, concerts, swimming\nand museum excursions.\nDr. Neufeld said the form of next year's\nprogram would be shaped by feedback and\nevaluations from the students.\nregistration centre for UBC's intramural\nathletic program.\nFunds for construction of the SUB\naddition will come from accumulated AMS\nreserves to be repaid with a $15 building\nfee paid annually by all UBC students. The\nfee was approved in a 1982 referendum.\nMike Kingsmill, a third-year architecture\nstudent working under contract to the\nAMS on the SUB project, said that an\naccident and someone with foresight had\nsaved the AMS a good deal of money on\nthe present expansion project.\n\"I've never been able to get to the\nbottom of it,\" he said, \"but for some\nreason, when the original excavation was\ndone for the SUB, the area we're about to\nexpand into was dug out and sealed off. As\na result, we only have to excavate about a\nfoot and a half of earth in the expansion\narea to get the right ceiling height.\"\n\"I suspect, too, that when the over-\nexcavation was discovered, the builders\ndecided to make the best of it. They\npoured some pillars and put down the\nconcrete slab on which the paving stones of\nthe south plaza of the SUB rest.\"\nAnd someone also had the foresight to\nlay down a waterproof membrane on top\nof the slab, which means it won't be\nnecessary to remove all the paving stones,\nthus saving the AMS a small bundle of\nmoney and minimizing disruption of the\nplaza this summer.\nThe SUB addition will have the\nfollowing new facilities when it's complete\nin December:\nNew food facilities are an indoor-outdoor\nItalian-food outlet seating 100, which will\nhave a sunken courtyard area attached to\nit, and a fast-food facility across from the\ngames room and bowling alley.\nEighteen electric typewriters will be\navailable in a typing centre on a user-pay\nbasis. Across the hall will be a word-\nprocessing centre with three input\nterminals manned by student operators.\nBoth facilities will be available to any\nmember of the campus community.\nTwo large multi-purpose rooms, with\ncapacities for 95 and 85 people, will be for\nyear-round use by UBC groups and spring\nand summer conferences.\nSeven major club rooms will be provided\nin the area, including a darkroom-studio\nfor the Photo Society as well as expanded\nareas for the Varsity Outdoor Club and the\nAquatic Club, both of which need lock-up\nfacilities for valuable equipment.\nThe intramural sports division of UBC's\nAthletic Office, currently housed in the\nWar Memorial Gymnasium, will move into\nthe addition when it's complete.\nArchitects for the project are the\nVancouver firm of Henriquez and\nPartners.\nThere s nothing unique about the\ninitiative that the AMS has shown in\nexpanding the SUB. It's estimated that\nsince 1928 students have contributed more\nthan $6.6 million (apart from the current\nproject) for the construction of new UBC\nbuildings.\nPast projects financed in whole or in\npart by students included Brock Hall (the\noriginal student union building), the\nexisting SUB. the Aquatic Centre and the\nThunderbird Winter Sports Centre.\nThird-year architecture student Mike Kingsmill has been one of the key figures\nbehind the development of plans for $1.5 million expansion of the Student\nUnion Building.\n'Moli' battery\ntwo plants to\nInvestment in higher education and\nresearch is essential if Canada is to\nmaintain its standard of living and\ncompete successfully in the world economy.\nThat's the conclusion of dozens of\nreports from a variety of organizations\nacross Canada.\nWhether society is heeding the advice is\ndebatable, but what is incontestable is the\nlatest practical by-product of basic research\nin UBC's physics department.\nUnder the leadership of Prof. Rudi R.\nHaering, graduate students and other\nscientists in his laboratory have successfully\ndeveloped a completely new battery.\nIt is a rechargeable lithium molybdenum\ndisulphide battery, a major breakthrough\nin research for a safe, high performance,\ncost-effective and portable energy system.\nThe technology is based on a mineral\nENROLMENT\nFOR SUMMER\nABOUT 4,000\nThere'll be about 4,000 new faces on\ncampus this week as UBC's 1984 Summer\nSession begins.\nCourses in the Faculties of Arts, Science,\nCommerce, Education, Forestry and\nMedicine are being offered in Summer\nSession, which began yesterday (Ju'v 3) and\ncontinues until Aug. 11.\nThe majority of students enrolled this\nyear are regular Winter Session students\nwho are taking advantage of the summer\nofferings to accelerate their programs.\nSummer Session enrolment is about the\nsame as last year. Enrolment in UBC's\nSpring Session was up about 20 students\n. from the 1983 total of 3,573.\nFor a listing of summer recreational\nactivities on campus sec page 4 of this\nissue.

But its shelf-life \u00E2\u0080\u0094 or length\nof time it retains its charge \u00E2\u0080\u0094 compared\nwith the other rechargeable batteries is\nextraordinary. The charge retention time\nfor a nickel-cadmium \"C\" size battery is\nfrom two to six months. For the new\nbattery it is eight to ten years.\nAs a result of the research, Moli Energy\nLtd., a B.C. company formed to develop\nthe battery, will build two plants at a\ncapital cost of $52 million to produce a\ntotal of 20 million battery cell? each year.\nMoli Energy already has a staff of more\nthan 75 people in research and\ndevelopment, production and marketing.\nPresident of the firm is Mr. Irvine Hollis,\nformerly president of Duracell Canada.\nAlthough the plants, one in B.C. and\nthe second in Ontario, will use robotics\nand other computer-guided devices in\nmanufacturing, more than 500 people will\nbe working for Moli Energy within three\nyears, and many more will be employed\nindirectly through sub contractors to the\ncompany.\nMoli Energy will produce double \"A\"\nbattery cells in its B.C. plant. Within one\nand one-half years, the plant also plans to\nmanufacture button-type cells for\nelectronic and other applications such as\nheart pace-makers and other devices.\nEventually, both the B.C. and Ontario\nplants will also produce \"C\". sub-\"C\".\ndouble \"A\" and button cells.\nChairman of Moli Energy's board of\ndirectors is Dr. Norman B. Keevil, foundei\nand chairman of Teck Corp. Dr. Keevil\nhas a Ph.D. in geophysics from Harvard\nUniversity, and is Moli Energy's primary\ninvestor.\nHe said he was attracted to the UBC j\nproject, in spite of competition from huge\nresearch and development establishments\nof large multinational corporations that\nalso wanted to develop and produce a new\nbattery.\nPlease turn to Page 2\nSee BA TTER Y UBC Reports July 4, 1984\nBattery\ncontinued from Page 1\n\"I have a good feeling for the scientific\nsignificance of the program and felt that\nthis group could succeed,\" Dr. Keevil said.\n\"This proved to be completely correct\nand now the impact will not only be felt in\nB.C. and Canada but throughout the\nworld.\"\nProf. Haering said that there is a huge\ndemand for a more efficient battery. The\nlast battery innovation was the nickel-\ncadmium rechargeable battery developed\nshortly after the turn of the century. Since\nthen, other technologies dependent upon a\nportable energy source have mushroomed,\nwhile batteries have remained relatively\nunchanged.\n\"Miniaturization over the past few years\nhas reduced the size and weight of a host\nof products,\" Dr. Haering said. \"In many\ncases, the battery power source for these\ndevices is now the single factor limiting\nfurther size reduction and greater\nperformance. Our battery should remove\nthat limitation.\"\nDr. Haering said the new battery should\nalso stimulate production of entirely new\nproducts.\n\"Electric vehicles, for example. Cars\npowered by rechargeable batteries haven't\nbeen feasible until now because of\ninadequate power systems,\" Dr. Haering\nsaid.\nDevelopment of the battery is one of the\nmost significant high-tech events in B.C.\nhistory. Dr. Haering began his research\nabout seven years ago. One year later, Dr.\nKeevil decided to support the project, even\nthough the decision was based on\npreliminary research results.\nThe result is that Moli Energy will enter\nthe billion dollar international battery\nmarket with an estimated two-year head\nstart over major competitors.\nBecause much of the work was done at\nUBC, the University will benefit financially\nunder a contract with the company.\nThe technology of the battery is entirely\nnew.\nAll batteries have two electrodes \u00E2\u0080\u0094 an\nanode and cathode \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and electricity is\nproduced when ions pass from the anode to\nthe cathode through a substance called an\nelectrolyte.\nUsually, batteries are described in terms\nof the substances that make them up \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nlead-acid, nickel-cadmium or nickel-iron.\nIn all batteries now on the market, the\nelectrodes undergo a chemical change\nduring use. Cathodes in the new battery\nremain essentially unchanged, the first in\nthe world with this characteristic, because\nof the key feature of the battery, a\nphenomenon known as intercalation.\nIntercalation occurs when atoms of a\nsubstance diffuse into the spaces between\nthe atoms of another substance. (Dr. J.G.\nHooley of UBC's chemistry department did\npioneer work in intercalation.)\nAn electric current is formed in the new\nbattery when lithium ions from the anode\npass through the electrolyte to sandwich\nthemselves between the molybdenum\ndisulphide molecules making up the\ncathode. When the battery is recharged,\nthe lithium atoms are removed back to the\nlithium anode.\nThe Moli battery is the only\nintercalation battery at the stage of\ncommercial production.\nAn irony of the discovery is that many\nother researchers using the same materials\nbuilt lithium molybdenum disulphide\nbatteries and rejected them as inferior.\n\"When you discharge the battery for the\nfirst time,\" Dr. Haering said, \"its\nperformance is terrible. The reason for this\nis that the molybdenum disulphide crystals\nas they occur in nature are semiconductors, unsuitable for use as\nintercalation cathodes.\n\"But during the first discharge of the\nbattery, the crystal structure is altered. In\nits new structure the cathode... is a metal\nrather than semi-conductor and highly\nsuitable for intercalation.\n\"Conversion of the cathode from a semiconductor to metal will be done in our\nplants. Other people who have looked at\nthis type of battery in the past and rejected\nit didn't know that discharging and\nrecharging it through one cycle of use\ninduced intercalation. They were one step\nshort of a major discovery.\"\nDr. Haering praised Dr. Keevil for his\nsupport. He said Canada does not have\nenough senior corporation executives like\nDr. Keevil who are willing to invest in high\ntechnology.\nCAMPUS\nP\u00C2\u00A3OPI\u00C2\u00A3'\nMelva Dwyer\nMelva Dwyer, head of the UBC\nLibrary's fine arts division, was honored\nrecently for her \"long and distinguished\nservice as a special librarian\" by the\nCanadian Association of Special Libraries\nand Information Services.
