In a\nphone interview with cbc Radio's\nEarly Edition, Hayden described\nwhat he saw as he rushed to the aid\nof victims.\n\"We just stood there and\nwatched, to our horror, the second\ntower come down,\" Hayden says.\nHe then joined a group of 20 doctors from the conference who volunteered to help out at a makeshift hospital converted from a\nskating rink\n\"There were quite a few stretchers .. . and about 150 doctors already there,\" says Hayden.\nPeople arrived with medical\nsupplies, food and water, but Hayden says an eerie calm descended\nas doctors prepared to receive injured victims in the thick stench of\nsmoke.\n\"We waited four hours,\" recalls\nHayden, \"and in that time we\nDr. Michael Hayden\ndidn't see a single patient pulled\nout.\" Relief efforts were stalled by\nthe unsteady wreckage of the collapsed buildings, but there was no\nshortage of helping hands.\n\"The only people we could see\nwere the many, many volunteers,\"\nsays Hayden. The Red Cross set up\na blood bank, and the lines were\nmiles long. As police began cordoning off the streets, says Hayden, they saw many people walking north, out ofthe city.\nAs he witnessed the collapse of\nTower 7 ofthe World Trade Centre,\nhe finally came to grips with the\ndegree of devastation he was dealing with. People who suffered\nsmall injuries\u00E2\u0080\u0094abrasions, broken\narms and legs\u00E2\u0080\u0094were brought to\nhospitals, leaving doctors in\ncharge of triage and trauma care\non constant stand-by at the rink\n\"Initially we just hoped,\" he says.\n\"As the day went on, we realized\nthat there were going to be very\nsee Hayden, page 2\nUniversity responds to us tragedy\nStudents, faculty and staff try to help each other make\nsense ofthe terrorist attacks on New York\nbyjudith Walker staffwriter\nFROM EXTENDED HOURS at the\nuniversity's Counselling Office, to\ncollection jars at ams food outlets,\ncampus discussions at the Liu\nCentre for the Study of Global Issues, and a university gathering for\nall faculty, staff and students on\nthe Main Mall lawn, the university\ncommunity has, individually and\ncollectively, responded to last\nweek's attacks in the us.\nThe Counselling Office re\nmained open last weekend for students, staff and faculty who wanted to discuss their reactions, and\nis open for extended hours during\nthe week Cheryl Washburn, director of Counselling Services, said\nthe services are being used \"consistently, and certainly more than\nusual\" as people deal with the\ntragedy.

It felt like\na family.\"\nOn his way down to the rescue\nsite, Hayden saw owners of street-\nside delis putting out sandwiches\nand water.\nAs he left the city, Hayden was\nstill overwhelmed by the fear and\nuncertainty that came with the experience.\n\"Life is changed,\" he says. \"It was\nfear, terrible fear, that another\nbuilding was going to go down.

One-third\nof all pediatric consultations in\nthe province relate to digestive\nsystem problems.\n\"This endowed chair has been\nmade possible by very many caring people,\" says Grace McCarthy,\npresident of the child Foundation. \"From large donations from\nindustry and companies to the efforts of children who have collected small amounts of change, we\nhave had wonderful support. We\nare especially pleased to have had\na provincial government contribution of $ 1 million.\"\nDisorders may be acute or\nchronic and affect children of any\nage from premature babies to adolescents. Symptoms of Crohn's\ndisease and ulcerative colitis include inflammation and ulceration of the digestive tract, pain,\nbloody diarrhea, vomiting, chronic fatigue and extreme weight loss\nor gain.\nChildren with these diseases experience significant absences from\nschool and many hospitalizations\nand medical interventions.\nTreatment includes steroid\ndrugs followed by a series of medications taken daily for life or surgery to remove ulcerated areas of\nthe digestive tract, including colostomy.\nubc Dean of Medicine Dr. John\nCairns says, \"The child Foundation began their efforts by establishing a $3 million goal with volunteers from the community.\nThey have delivered on that promise and at the same time raised\nawareness in our province and\nelsewhere of these diseases which,\nbecause of their nature, were seldom discussed.\"\n\"Our dream of a Centre of Excellence in Gastroenterology is\nnow a reality,\" McCarthy says.\n\"Our focus now is the funding for\na state ofthe art laboratory. A program of care from research bench\nto bedside gives patients help and\nhope.\"\nMore information about child\ncan be found at www.child.ca.\nLaw students learn, fill\nvital need at same time\nOutreach programs operated by Law students serve\ncommunity organizations and fellow ubc students\nby Don Wells staffwriter\nlong before the terms \"community service\" and \"experiential\nlearning\" became buzz phrases at\nubc, Law students were taking to\nthe streets in droves, thanks to the\nfaculty's long-held commitment to\nclinical education programs.\nVolunteerism through clinical\neducation has been a hallmark of\nthe faculty since the early '70s.\nThe Criminal Clinic, founded in\n1974, is an academic program that\nlets students assist in the defense\nDonate your\nold vehicle\nto the\nKIDS HELP\nPHONE\nCall 1-888-350-5437 or visit\nwww.adco-online.com\nor prosecution of clients charged\nwith summary offenses who can't\nafford lawyers and don't qualify\nfor legal aid.\nAlternatively, Law students can\nparticipate in the Legal Clinic program, providing clients with a wide\nrange of legal services ranging\nfrom landlord-tenant disputes to\ncriminal defense work-\nin 1996 the program was replaced by the First Nations Legal\nClinic. Working out of a Downtown Eastside office provided by\nthe Legal Service Society of bc, six\nstudents per term work alongside\npracticing lawyers and receive\ncredit towards degrees in the First\nNations Law Program.\nIt's difficult to say how many students have honed their skills while\nlending a hand to those in need, but\nthe demand is overwhelming.\n\"The point is to teach skills, but\nthe wonderful offshoot is that the\nstudents get to provide a much-\nneeded public service,\" says Nancy\nWiggs, an administrator who oversees the Criminal Clinic. \"We could\nquadruple the size of these programs and still not be able to meet\nthe need.\"\nIn addition to the clinical programs, the faculty also supports\ntwo other initiatives designed to\ncombine experiential learning\nwith community service.\nThe Law Students Legal Advice\nProgram (lslap) is administered\nby an independent organization of\nstudents with additional support\nprovided by the provincially funded Community Legal Assistance\nSociety.\nBy far the largest outreach program, lslap involves approximately 150 first- and second-year\nstudents working out of community centres throughout the Lower\nMainland. Although not part of an\nacademic program, students who\nvolunteer for a third year may receive credit.\nIn addition to serving the needs\nof individuals in the community,\nLaw students can also volunteer to\nserve community organizations\nthrough the Pro Bono Program.\nNow in its third year, the Pro Bono\nProgram is administered by two\npaid students who link organizations with volunteers to provide\nresearch services and other types\nof legal support work.\nLaw students also lend their\ntime and skills to a number of\ncampus and community organizations. The Student Legal Fund Society, for example, is an ams society that uses law students to research potentially precedent-setting cases of significance to ubc\nstudents, and assist practicing\nlawyers to prepare cases.\nHonour Roll\nfive members of the ubc\ncommunity have been named\nto the Order of Canada.\nMicrobiology and Immunology Prof. Bob Hancock's work\nin antibiotic resistance has led\nto the development of a new\nclass of antibiotics.

Most of\nmy research is empirically based,\nand is carried out on financial institutions.\nwhy attracted to ubc: On a\nprofessional level, the Faculty of\nCommerce is known for its excellence in research and its high degree of collegiality. The students\nare curious, intelligent and motivated. Taking all of this together, I\nfelt that ubc would be a place\nwhere I could thrive in my academic life. On a personal level,\nVancouver is hard to beat for its\nmix of urban and outdoor amenities and its cultural diversity.\nDoug Harris\nassistant professor, Faculty of\nLaw\nbackground: Currently completing a Doctor of Jurisprudence\n(djur) at Osgoode Hall Law\nSchool, York University.\ncourses taught: Property\nLaw, Legal History\nteaching objective: To excite students about the study of\nlaw and the possibilities of a legal\neducation, and to help them explore law as one of central institu\ntions in human society.\nresearch objective: To investigate the roots of the contemporary conflict over fish and\nfisheries between Aboriginal and\nnon-Aboriginal fishers on the Pacific coast, and to understand the\nrole of law in that conflict.\nWHY ATTRACTED TO UBC: To\njoin a strong faculty at an outstanding teaching and research\nuniversity that is located in the\nmidst of my research interests,\n.ind because of strong family connections to Vancouver and British\nColumbia.\nYvonne\nMcLeod\ndirector, Native Indian Teacher\nEducation Program (nite), Faculty of Education\nbackground: phd, University\nof Regina\ncourses taught: Overseeing\nthe nite Program\nteaching objective: One of\nmy goals is to ensure we have a\nstrong First Nations community\nperspective in elementary education by working with First Nations communities and institutions and through partnerships\nand collaborations with education stakeholders.\nresearch objective: For the\nnite program, I'm focusing on designing a secondary teacher education program this year. In my\nown area of research, I'm looking\nat the leadership styles of First Nations women who are currently in\ncommunity leader roles to find out\nwhether they're following traditional First Nations models of\nleadership.\nWHY ATTRACTED TO UBC: I\nwas with the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College in Regina\nfor many years, and I felt I needed to look at education from another perspective. I'm thankful\nto have the opportunity to come\nto ubc to promote First Nations\neducation.\nRobert\nRohling\nassistant professor, Electrical\nand Computer Engineering and\nMechanical Engineering departments, Faculty of Applied Science\nbackground: phd, Information Engineering, University of\nCambridge\ncourses taught: Real Time\nControl Systems, an Electrical Engineering course for non-Electrical\nEngineering students.\nteaching objective: To teach\npeople how to use computers to\nsolve real life problems in the control or automation of mechanical\nsystems such as cars, assembly\nlines, and hydroelectric or chemical processing plants.\nresearch objective.

I also hope to teach the\nArabic language at different levels.\nresearch objectives: My research deals with the political and\nsocial history of seventh century\nArabia, focusing on the alliances\nthat prevailed during that period.\nIn studying this topic, I make use\nof Arabic genealogical sources that\nhave been seldom used for historical inquiry. I intend, at a later\nstage, to investigate this type of literature in greater depth, not only\nas a specific literary genre, but also\nas a tool for historical study.\nwhy attracted to ubc: My\ntraining in the field of Islamic\nStudies has been highly interdisciplinary. I found, therefore, the wide\nscope and interdisciplinary nature\nofthe ubc Dept. of Classical, Near-\nEastern and Religious Studies to\nbe most appealing, ubc also gave\nme the opportunity of contributing to an exciting program that we\nhope to see expand even further in\nthe future."@en .
