M-27 and adjacent M-28, which was burned as part\nof the same exercise on Friday, were among the few remaining survivors of the more than 300\narmy huts brought to the campus after the Second World War to serve as classrooms,\nlaboratories and offices for an expanding faculty and students body. Total of 12 of the old\nbuildings will be demolished by December of this year.\nThe federal government has announced\nthat it will provide $2.1 million Jo enable\nUBC, UVic and SFU to establish a Centre\nfor Asia Pacific Business Studies.\nThe centre will be a tri-university\ncooperative enterprise in support of\nCanadian business in the Asia Pacific\ncountries.\nEach of the participating universities will\nreceive $500,000 for the establishment of\nchairs in Asia Pacific studies. The professors\nappointed to the chairs will undertake and\ncoordinate research directed to the centre's\nobjectives.\nUBC's $500,000 will be used to establish a\nchair of international trade in the Faculty\nof Commerce and Business Administration.\nEach university is also expected to match\nthe federal contributions.\nThe joint submission by the B.C.\nuniversities to the federal government\nproposes that the centre be located in\ndowntown Vancouver.

George\nPedersen in May after the University\nassumed management of the centre, which\nhas been operated by the Graduate\nStudent Society (GSS) since 1982 under an\nagreement with the University.\nThe University decided to assume\nmanagement of the building in May\nbecause of a financial deficit of about\n$100,000 owing to the University by the\nGSS.\nOther members of the presidential\nadvisory committee that prepared the\nten-page report for President Pedersen\nwere Prof. David Williams, head of the UBC\nphysics department, and the two student\nmembers of UBC's Board of Governors,\nDave Frank and Don Holubitsky.\nDr. Neil Risebrough, associate vice-\npresident for student services, said the\ncommittee's report was a public document\nand was under study by the administration.\nHe said interested members of the\nUniversity community are invited to\ncomment on the report and its\nrecommendations.

Kerekes of the\nPulp and Paper Research Institute of\nCanada (PAPRICAN) arrived on the UBC\ncampus to initiate a co-operative program in\nseveral engineering departments in the\nFaculty of Applied Science.\nIn November, 1983, Prof. Kerekes was\nformally appointed director of the UBC\nPulp and Paper Centre, which will offer a\nnew master's degree program in pulp and\npaper engineering, provide facilities for\npostgraduate student research on problems\nrelevant to the industry and offer special\ncourses in pulp and paper technology.\nThrough PAPRICAN, the Canadian\npulp and paper industry will provide\napproximately $1 million toward the\noperational cost of the centre as well as\nseveral major scholarships for graduate\nstudents.\n\"The commitment of funds by\nPAPRICAN to the operation of the centre\nclearly demonstrates the importance that\nthis key Canadian industry attaches to the\nUBC development\" Dean Wedepohl said.\nDr. Kerekes said the funds to be\ncontributed annually by PAPRICAN\nwould be used to pay the salaries of\ninstitute teachers, who will hold adjunct\nprofessor appointments at UBC, and\nsupport staff.\n\"We hope to have a very good library in\nthe building, which will serve as a\nresource and information centre on pulp\nand paper technology for the industry,\" he\nsaid. The building will also provide office\nand research and teaching space for\nfaculty members and graduate students\nassociated with the program.\nDr. Kerekes added that the UBC centre\nwould concentrate on training students\ninterested in engineering aspects associated\nwith the production and use of pulp and\npaper.\nThe applied science centre is not to be\nconfused with another PAPRICAN project,\na $15-million staff research facility being\nfunded by the federal government which\nwill be built as part of UBC's Discovery\nPark on the Wesbrook Mall south of 16th\nAve.\nPaul Steele, pictured above with gold\nmedal won in the Coxed Heavyweight Eight\nrowing finals at the XXIII Olympiad held\nin Los Angeles last month, was one of 12\nUBC students named to Canada's Olympic\nteam. Also bringing home a gold medal was\nPatrick Turner, who was a member of the\nsame rowing crew.\nChanges in the wind for\ncampus parking system\nSome big changes are in the wind for\nthe administration and financing of the\nparking system on the UBC campus.\nFinance Vice-President Bruce Gellatly\nsays one of the first tasks that will face\nBarry Foord, the new director of\nadministrative services, when he arrives on\ncampus will be to add parking to the list of\nUBC ancillary enterprises.\nThis means that parking will join five\nother campus units, including the\nBookstore, Food Services and Student\nHousing and Conferences, which operate\nas self-contained financial units. Each\nancillary enterprise operates on an annual\nbreak-even basis, with revenues paying for\nthe replacement and upgrading of\nfacilities and repayment of debt\nThe objective in establishing parking as\nan ancillary enterprise, says Mr. Gellatly, is\nto isolate the cost of operating the system.\n\"At the moment,\" he says, \"we have no\nclear idea of what it costs or what it should\ncost to operate our parking facilities because\nthe expenses are spread across several\nadministrative areas of the University.\n\"We may go to coin-operated entry to\nsome lots,\" he says, \"and I can foresee a\nchange from the present system of issuing\nannual faculty and staff decals to one where\na permanent decal is issued and payment\nis made on an ongoing monthly payroll\ndeduction basis.\"\nThe first step in the revamping of UBC's\nparking system took place during the\nsummer when the Board of Governors\napproved a revised scale of parking\ncharges for 1984-85 recommended by the\nPresident's Committee on Traffic and\nParking. Included in the motion approving\nthe charges was a clause specifying that all\nrevenue generated from parking-fee\nincreases should be used exclusively for\nthe maintenance and development of\ncampus parking facilities.\nSpecifically, revenue resulting from\nincreased charges for parking in \"B\" lots\non the south campus, where the annual fee\nhas been doubled from $12 to $24, will be\nused to upgrade those lots.\n\"Ultimately,\" Mr. Gellatly said, \"our goal\nis to answer the question, 'What are people\ngetting for the rent they pay for a parking\nspace?' They should get a return that assures\nthem of good-quality parking facilities.\"\nThe revised scale of parking fees means,\nhowever, that it will cost most people a\nlitde more to park on campus in 1984-85.\nHere is the new fee scale (percentage\nfigures in brackets indicate the increase over\n1983-84).\nFaculty and staff, business and medical \u00E2\u0080\u0094\n$120 (5%); Health Sciences Centre\nParkade \u00E2\u0080\u0094 $132 (no change); Music\nBuilding (underground parking) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 $195\n(5%); Preferred student parking \u00E2\u0080\u0094 $54\n(20%); Resident parking - $16 (7%);\nGeneral B lot - $24 (100%); Associate decal\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 $11 (10%); Visitor parking: each hour or\nportion \u00E2\u0080\u0094 50 cents (no change), maximum\nper day - $4 (14%), flat night rate - $1.50\n(20%); meters (each half hour) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 25 cents\n(no change); motorcycles: faculty and staff\n- $14 (no change), students - $14 (100%). UBC Reports September 5, 1984\nWhere to look\nfor part-time\njobs at UBC\nThe summer of '84 wasn't exactly a\nvintage season for jobs for students ...\nwhich means that some bank balances\nmay need the boost of part-time\nemployment in the winter months.\nUBC Reports did a survey of UBC units\nthat list or offer part-time jobs. Here's what\nwe found out\nThe Alma Mater Society offers work for\nabout 125 students in the Pit Pub, Gallery\nLounge, Subcetera (candy counter), games\nroom and copy centre. Students should\napply to supervisors in each area. The\nAMS also hires students for odd jobs (apply\nto Room 238 of the Student Union\nBuilding). Terry Jackson, AMS administrative assistant, says that more jobs will be\navailable when the expansion of the\nStudent Union Building is completed in\nJanuary. Another option is to register with\nthe AMS temporary personnel service.\nThe referral service links students with\ntemporary on- and off-campus office jobs.\nIf you have been authorized for the Work\nStudy Program, there are more than 400\nplacements listed at the Canada Employment Centre in Brock Hall. In addition,\nthe centre has listings for about 100\npart-time jobs in (he UBC library and\nseveral other part-time positions.\nPositions are also available in the food\nservice units of the campus residences.\nBusiness manager Shirley Louie says these\njobs are usually tilled by students living in\nthe residences.
