He\nwas the orginal host of the CBC national radio\nscience program Quirks and Quarks and has\nbeen associated with several other national\n. CBC television programs devoted to science\nsince 1971, including Suzuki on Science,\nScience Magazine and The Nature of Things.\nIn recent years Dr. Suzuki branched into\nscience writing. He has a syndicated\nnewspaper column and has written a number\nof science articles and books, including two\nbooks for children, Looking at Plants and\nLooking at Insects, published by General\nPublishing Ltd. of Don Mills, Ont.\nThe Canadian-born scientist joined UBC's\nzoology department in 1963 where he\nestablished his scientific reputation in the field\nof genetics.\nHis research was distinguished particularly\nby his discovery of temperature-sensitive\nmutations in Drosophila, the fruit fly that is\ncommonly used in genetics research.\nHe discovered flies that are normal at room\ntemperature but become paralysed when the\ntemperature is raised only a few degrees.\nThese mutations are now used routinely by\nDrosophila geneticists.\nIn 1969 he won the E.W.R. Steacie\nMemorial Fellowship awarded to an\noutstanding research scientist under the age of\n35. He became an Officer of the Order of\nCanada in 1977, was elected a Fellow of the\nRoyal Society of Canada the following year\nand won the Sanford Fleming Medal of the\nRoyal Canadian institute in 1982.\nDr. Suzuki has received honorary degrees\nfrom four Canadian universities.\nNew financial system\nin effect April 1\nA new and up-to-date accounting system\nthat includes the latest techniques of financial\nmanagement goes into operation at UBC on\nApril I, when the 1986-87 fiscal year begins.\nMr. Allen Baxter, director of Financial\nSystems Development, said the new system\nrepresents a \"fresh start\" for the UBC\naccounting system. \"The existing system has\nbeen in place for some 20 years,\" he said,\n\"and during that time has had only minor\nimprovement.\"\nThere will be at least four major benefits for\nUBC when the system is operative, according\nto John Bean, a management consultant with\nArthur Andersen and Co. Mr. Bean was project\nmanager for the new system, which has been\nunder development since last year.\n1. The system will generate prompt,\naccurate and current financial information for\nUniversity administrators at all levels.\n2. An on-line enquiry system will enable all\nUBC academic and administrative units to\ncheck the status of their accounts on a day-\nto-dav basis.\n3. A new commitment system for salaries,\nsupplies and other expenses will enable UBC\nfaculties and departments to manage their\nfinancial resources better because deans,\ndirectors and department heads will have an\nup-to-date picture of their financial position\nand commitments made.\n4. Research reports can be generated on a\nproject-year basis, a period which may differ\nfrom UBC's fiscal year.\nAlthough he served as overall manager in\nthe development of the new system, Mr. Bean\nis quick to add it took only eleven months to\nput it in place because of extensive\ninvolvement of a 35-member installation team\nthatincludes representatives from Financial\nServices, academic and administrative\ndepartments, Information Systems\nManagement (ISM) and the Computing Centre.\nA ten-member steering committee, which is\nA locus on UBC centres of excellence\nIn the last Issue of UBC Reports we\nlooked at UBC's potential for centres\nexcellence in international finance and\nPacific Rim studies \u00E2\u0080\u0094 two of the six areas\noutlined In the Fund for Excellence In\nEducation announced by the provincial\ngovernment on Feb. 11. In today's Issue\nwe'll focus on UBC's contributions In the\nareas of forestry research and links with\ncultural agencies. The final two areas\ndesignated for funding \u00E2\u0080\u0094 biotechnology\nand computer systems \u00E2\u0080\u0094 will be featured In\nthe next issue of UBC Reports.\nIf there's one area of the arts in B.C. that\ncan be described as \"hot\" these days, it's the\nfilm industry.\nProf. Joan Reynertson, who heads the Film\nStudies program in the Department of Theatre,\nsays a combination of B.C. scenery, a\ndevalued Canadian dollar and a pool of well-\ntrained film production personnel \u00E2\u0080\u0094 many of\nthem trained at UBC \u00C2\u00AB has been instrumental\nin drawing American companies to the\nprovince.\nAs a result, the film industry is more active\nin B.C. than in any other province in Canada.\nUBC's Film Studies program, now in its\n11th year of operation, already has close ties\nwith the B.C. film industry, Prof. Reynertson\nsays, and she welcomes the provincial\ngovernment initiative to encourage further\ndevelopment of the links.\nCurrently, the department offers an\nundergraduate program leading to a\nbachelor's degree, which includes a balanced\narray of courses in production, history, theory\nand aesthetics, and master's degrees in film\nand television production and in history, theory\nand criticism.\nEquipment and staff limitations have forced\nthe program to limit its annual intake of\nundergraduate students to 12. The program\ncould treble its annuat intake given improved\nequipment and additional faculty. Seven\ngraduate students are currently registered in\nthe department.\nProf. Reynertson sees the department's\nprimary mission as providing students with a\nsolid grounding in scriptwriting, directing,\ncinematography; editing, sound recording and\nanimation as well as the history and aesthetics\nof film.\n\"Our most pressing need at the moment,\"\nshe says, \"is the replacement of aging\nequipment with a state-of-the-art production\nfacility that will serve as an on-campus training\nand production centre.\"\nShe would also, like to see the University's\nfilm activities linked to the industry through\nestablishment of a internship program that\nwould provide students with \"hands-on\"\nexperience.\nAmong notable graduates of the UBC\nprogram are Robert Fredericks, executive\nproducer of The Beachcombers, the longest\nrunning series in TV history; Ca) Schumiatcher,\nproducer of the feature film My Kind of Town,\nrecently screened across Canada; and Sturla\nGunnerson, whose feature-length\ndocumentary After the Axe, produced for the\nCBC, was nominated for an Academy Award.\nTheatre at UBC is almost as old as the\nUniversity itself. Until a Department of Theatre\nwas formally organized in the Faculty of Arts in\n1958, much of the theatrical activity at the\nUniversity centred on the Players Club,\norganized by the legendary Prof. Frederic\n\"Freddy\" Wood shortly after UBC opened its\ndoors to students in 1915.\nIn the late 1930s, through its Extension\nDepartment, the University responded to the\nneeds of theatrical groups in all parts of B.C.\nby providing travelling instructors who visited\nPlease turn to Page 2\nSee CENTRES\nchaired by Mr. Baxter and includes senior\nacademic and administrative executives, has\nbeen monitoring the status of the project and\nhas approved major policy decisions.\nOptimism about the new system stems\nfrom an extensive series of user interviews that\nwere carried out in the course of development.\n\"What we arrived at was a system developed\nfrom the bottom up rather than from the top\ndown,\" Mr. Bean said.\nDave Frazer, a project leader in ISM who\nhas coordinated a training program, estimates\nthat some 1,000 UBC employees are involved\nin information and training sessions on the new\nfinancial system. Sessions have been held for\ndeans and department heads, clerks in\nadministrative and academic departments and\nfor senior University administrators, who will be\nexpected to use the reports the system will\ngenerate for improved financial management\nof their units.\nThere are also some 35 different subsystems being interfaced with the new system.\nThese include the systems that calculate such\nthings as student fees and physical plant and\ntelephone charges as Well as the current\npayroll and personnel systems.\nThe new system, Mr. Bean said, also\npresents the University with an opportunity to\nredirect its resources. \"The old system meant\nthat many employees were doing manually\nwhat will now be generated as a matter of\ncourse.\"\nThe new management reports will be\navailable for the April month-end. It's\nanticipated that on-line enquiry will be\navailable starting in the fall of this year.\n\"Most academic and administrative\ndepartments should have on-line enquiry\naccess by the end of the year,\" Mr. Baxter\nsaid.\nInformation about the new system is\navailable from Mr. Baxter, 228-2661, or Mr.\nFrazer, 228-5867.\n'Olympics' set\nlor Saturday\nNearly three hundred of B.C.'s top\nsecondary school science students will take\npart in the ninth Physics Olympics at UBC on\nSaturday (March 22).\nA total of 56 teams \u00E2\u0080\u0094 five students and\none advisor teacher to a team \u00E2\u0080\u0094 will spend\nthe day trying to solve seven mind-boggling\nproblems thought up by Faculty of Education\nstudents who are training to be physics\nteachers.\nEach team will be required to solve\nproblems in the fields of optics, electricity and\nbridge design.\nOne. member of each team will take part in\nthe world's slowest bike race, using a bike\npre-modified by changes in wheel size or gear\nratio to slow it down.\nEach bike will have to negotiate a 30-metre\ncourse and go over a half-metre high ramp\npositioned approximately in the middle of the\ncourse. The longest period of time for the full\nrun will determine the winner.\nMerritt secondary school is sending a team\nto defend the overall title it won last year.\nThe Physics Olympics is organized by the\nFaculty of Education's Department of\nMathematics and Science Education with the\ncooperation of the Department of Physics. i \u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0080\u00A2..')

The\ntheatre offers a minimum season of eight plays\nduring the UBC winter session and a season of\nsummer stock, run entirely by a group of the\nmost promising students.\nGraduates of the theatre program have\nachieved local, national and international\nrecognition and include Richard Ouzounian of\nthe Stratford Festival, John Gray, author of Billy\nBishop, and noted actors Brent Carver and\nAlan Scarfe.\nMUSIC\nUBC's music department, which celebrated\nits 25th anniversary in 1985, has established\nitself as a leading Canadian centre for\nprofessional and academic training in music.\nSome 300 students are currently enrolled for\ntwo undergraduate degrees and four graduate\ndegrees.\nDepartmental activities are concentrated in\nthe Music Building, which contains a 289-seat\nrecital hall, 37 teaching rooms and offices, 32\npractice rooms, an electronic music studio and\na Music Library of 60,000 books and scores,\n10,000 sound recordings and I50 music\nperiodicals. A stone's throw from the building\nis the Wilson Recording Collection of 40,000\nrecords, a public facility housed in the\nSedgewick Library.\nQuite apart from its academic activities the\ndepartment provides a year-round program of\npublic performances \u00E2\u0080\u0094 most of them free \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhich link the University with the community.\nConcerts and recitals are provided by a variety\nof groups ranging from string trios through a\nwind symphony to a full-scale symphony\norchestra. The University Chamber Singers\nand the Opera Workshop and Theatre provide\nopportunities for voice training.\nMany of these groups visit various areas of\nB.C. annually on concert tours, a program that\ncould expand with additional financial support.\nThe department is justifiably proud of its\nstudents and graduates. Students have topped\nthe annual Eckhardt-Grammate Music\nCompetition on five occasions, John Kimura\nParker was the first-prize winner in the Leeds\nInternational piano competition in 1984 and\nviola student Leslie Robertson won first prize in\nthe 1985 Tri-Bach Competition in Edmonton.\nGraduates of the department are teachers\nat major universities in Canada and the U.S.,\nperformers with major symphony orchestras\nand singers with opera companies in Canada\nand abroad.\nCREATIVE WRITING\nThe department had its origins in a series\nof workshops offered by former UBC faculty\nmember and poet Earle Birney in 1946. A\nformal program within the Department of\nEnglish began in 1957 anfl a separate\ndepartment was created in 1965 headed by\nnovelist Robert Harlow.\nThe department has a notable record of\nachievement. Many of its students are already\npublished authors and its graduates have\nbeen awarded most of the major literary\nawards offered in Canada.\nThe offerings of the department cover all\nforms of creative writing, including writing for\nthe screen and television, thus complementing\nthe work of the film program in the Department\nof Theatre.\nThe department cooperates with the\nVancouver School Board by sending\ninstructors to secondary schools to hold\nworkshops with students who are interested in\na career in writing. Department head George\nMcWhirter is eager to expand this program into\nother school districts, given additional\nresources.\nFINE ARTS\nThe fine arts department, which last year\nmarked its 30th birthday as an independent\nacademic unit, offers a full range of programs\nat both the undergraduate and graduate levels\nin the areas of art history and studio art.\nGraduates and faculty associated with the\ndepartment have had a significant impact on\nthe art scene in Vancouver and elsewhere over\nthe years. The major inaugural exhibition in\nVancouver's new art gallery, entitled\nVancouver Art and Artists 1933-1983, featured\nthe work of 37 graduates and past and present\nfaculty members. A total of 54 of the 147 artists\nin the show were associated in some way or\nother with UBC, either with the Department of\nFine Arts, Art Education, Theatre, etc.\n. Art history graduates hold senior\nadministrative and curatorial posts as well as\nteaching positions in every major art and\nteaching centre in Canada. Five members of\nthe professional staff at the new Vancouver\ngallery are master's degree graduates and\nothers hold important curatorial posts at the Art\nGallery of Ontario and the Canada Council's\nart bank in Ottawa, whie\"h is headed by a UBC\ngraduate William Kirby.\nFaculty members in the department are\nactive as producing artists and are featured\nregularly in group and one-person exhibitions.\nArt historians are active as writers of articles\nand books and several have prepared essays\nand catalogue entries for major exhibitions in\nVenice, Washington, D.C. and London,\nEngland.\nTwo sculptors associated with the\ndepartment, Richard Prince and Geoffrey\nSmedley, have created major works that will\nbe on display at Vancouver's international fair,\nExpo 86.\nMUSEUM OF\nANTHROPOLOGY\nUBC's anthropology museum, which has\none of the outstanding collections of West\nCoast Indian art in the world, makes its\nresources available through off-campus\nexhibitions and permanent loans as resources\nare available. Additional funding would permit\nthe museum to organize an increased number\nof exhibits for display in other Canadian\ncentres.\nIn recent years, the museum has circulated\npaintings by native Indian artists Robert\nDavidson and John Laford, and displays on\nthe making and using of stone tools in\nprehistoric B.C., the graphics of the Kwagiutl\nIndians of B.C. and an exhibit entitled The\nFour Seasons, Food-getting in Prehistoric B.C.\nSome of the displays were prepared by\nstudents, while others reflect the research\ninterests of the museum's curatorial staff.\nADMINISTRATION\nThis proposed program reflects the fact that\nas interest in the arts expands, there is a\ngrowing need for an academic program in arts\nand museum administration. It could train\nexperts in everything from the management of\nsymphony orchestras and theatre companies\nto curatorial staff for art and anthropology\nmuseums.\nUBC's dean of Arts, Dr. Robert Will,\nbelieves that UBC has developed a sound\nperforming arts program that would serve as\nthe basis for an academic program in arts\nadministration. He anticipates an\ninterdisciplinary program that would draw on\nexpertise in other UBC faculties, e.g.\nCommerce and Business Administration.\nAn Arts Administration program, he said,\nwould add another dimension to a performing\narts program that already has close links with\nthe cultural world in all parts of Canada.\nFORESTRY\nDean Robert Kennedy of UBC's Faculty of\nForestry has outlined several specific areas in\nwhich UBC has already established centres of\nexcellence or has the potential to build such\nresearch programs. Results of study in these\nareas will have a direct and significant effect\non the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the\nB.C. forest industry.\nOne of these areas involves the quality of\ntree seedlings used in reforestation, which\npresently have a poor survival rate. Many of\nthe seedlings die or don't reach their full\ngrowth potential because of the trauma\nincurred during transportation and planting,\nand because of weather conditions after\nplanting. UBC is carrying out several research\nprojects to minimize these problems.\nUBC has recently established a\ncontainerized nursery/greenhouse complex\nwith 1.3 million tree seedlings on the campus,\nwhich serves as a\nteaching/demonstration/research facility and\npilot plant. Research on developing stronger\nand better seedlings is conducted using some\nof the material in the nursery. Seedlings are\npurchased by the B.C. Ministry of Forests for\nreforestation programs.\nResearchers in the faculty are also\nconducting studies to reduce the \"trauma\"\nseedlings undergo in storage \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the time\nbetween removal from the nursery and\nplanting. They are working with plant growth\nregulators \u00E2\u0080\u0094 hormones which induce\ndormancy in seedlings \u00E2\u0080\u0094 to create an effect\nequivalent to a sleeping pill, so that seedlings\nare in a deep sleep during transportation. This\nprocedure promises to greatly increase the\nsurvival rate and subsequent growth of\ntransported seedlings.\nRelated to this area is the work of Prof.\nOscar Sziklai, who is carrying out research in\nforest genetics to develop \"super trees\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094\ntrees which are genetically altered to grow\nstronger and faster than the normal growth\nrate.\nAnother critical factor in the successful\ngrowth of tree seedlings is the control of\nsurrounding vegetation which can kill or\nimpede the growth of seedlings through\ncompetition for sunlight, land and nutrients in\nthe earth. UBC researchers are investigating\nseveral methods of controlling vegetation, and\nProf. Hammish Kimmins is establishing\ndemonstration areas in the University Research\nForest and in forest stands in other parts of the\nprovince where different methods of vegetation\nmanagement can be tested.\nAnother area Dean Kennedy cited as\nessential in the development of the forest\nindustry is research into better harvesting and\ntransportation methods. \"Approximately 50 per\ncent of the total operating costs of most saw\nmills are incurred in harvesting and delivery of\nraw logs to the mill,\" said Dean Kennedy.\n\"Research in this area could dramatically\nreduce the overall cost of producing lumber. \"\nA leading researcher in this field is Prof.\nGlen Young, who is working on the application\nof computer programs to determine the most\nefficient and cost effective combinations of\nmanpower and machines to harvest specific\nforest stands and handle logs between stump\nand millsite.\nResearch into the physical and engineering\nproperties of wood is also a critical component\nof UBC's centre of excellence in forestry. At the\nmoment building codes may specify more\nlumber than necessary in structures because\nthere isn't enough information available on\nfactors such as wood strength and load\ndistribution. This results in conservative\nbuilding practices, high building costs and an\ninefficient use of wood resources.\nDean Kennedy said increased information\nabout the physical and engineering qualities of\nwood will lead to a more rational use of wood\nand the development of higher-value wood\nproducts capable of competing with other\nmaterials. Dr. David Barrett, head of the\nHarvesting and Wood Science Department, is\ncarrying out research in this field.\nMANAGEMENT\nThere are several other areas of research\nwhich contribute to a centre of excellence in\nforestry at UBC.\nProf. Peter Pearse, Canada's leading expert\non forest management, is producing a model\nof the economically-recoverable timber supply\nin B.C. and Canada. He is also producing a\nmodel of the forest products trade. For\nexample, he can tell what effect a five per cent\nreduction in the value of Swedish currency (or\nany other factor) will have on Canada's trade\nof forest products. A third project he is working\non is the economics of reforestation. There are\ncurrently two million hectares of NSR (not\nsufficiently restocked) land in B.C. Prof. Pearse\nhas worked out recommendations on the most\nefficient and cost effective means of\nreforestation for these areas.\nIn another area of research Prof. Peter\nMurtha is using sophisticated remote sensing\n(satellite imagery) equipment to operate a\nprototype geographic information system\nwhich is being considered for installation in\neach of the 48 district ranger offices of the B.C.\nForest Service. This satellite system has the\npotential of updating forest maps at 16-day\nintervals to record fire damage, harvesting and\nspread of insects and disease. Prof. Murtha is\nalso using remote sensing to detect the\noutbreak of disease in forest stands. The\ndiseased trees are distinguished by a different\ncolor on the satellite screen. Using satellite\nimagery Prof. Murtha can detect specific\ndiseases in tree stands that cannot be reached\neasily by road. The technology also gives\n\"early warning\" information on disease\noutbreaks.\nThe use of remote sensing in forestry has\nenormous implications for improved forest\nmanagement in B.C.\nBronze sculpture Raven Bringing Light to\nthe World by Haida artist Robert\nDavidson was unveiled recently at the\nMuseum of Anthropology. After two\nmonths on display at the museum, the\nsculpture will be displayed at Canada\nHarbour Place until the end of Expo 86\nand will be shown across the country\nbefore being placed permanently at the\nNational Museum of Man in Ottawa.\nUniversities\ndisappointed\nby funding\nThe two organizations that represent\nCanada's university community have issued a\njoint statement expressing \"grave reservations\nand disappointment\" about the federal stand\n9h.university-based research outlined in\nFinance Minister Michael Wilson's budget.\nThe 79-member Association of Universities\nand Colleges of Canada (AUCC) and the\nCanadian Association of University Teachers\n(CAUT) representing 27,000 university faculty\nhave taken issue with Ottawa's claim that it is\nincreasing funding to the three federal\nresearch granting councils by $300 million over\nthe next five years.\nThe two associations claim that funding\nlevels for the core activities of the councils will,\nin fact, decline in real terms over that period .\nand have serious consequences for Canada's\nfuture research capabilities.\nIt's also claimed that the effects of the Feb.\n26 budget announcement will put Canada\neven further behind its international\ncompetitors in terms of spending on research\nand development.\nThe two associations gave mixed reviews\nto Ottawa's plan to set up a matching grants\nscheme to encourage the private sector to\nchannel research dollars through the three\nmajor councils that make grants for research -\n- The Natural Sciences and Engineering\nResearch Council, the Social Sciences and\nHumanities Research Council and the Medical\nResearch Council.\nThe two associations note that while the\nacademic community welcomes opportunities\nto work with the private sector, it is already\ncontributing to university-based research and\nthat it remains to be seen if Mr. Wilson's\nproposal will result in the significant increases\npredicted by the government.\nUBC Reports seeks\ninput from readers\nThe Community Relations Office is currently\nreviewing the format and editorial content of\nUBC Reports. An editorial advisory committee\nwith members from on and off the campus is\ndeveloping a new framework for UBC Reports\nand questionnaires have been sent to a\nrandom sample of UBC faculty and staff for\ncomments on what our readers would like to\nsee in the paper. After reviewing the\nquestionnaire responses the advisory\ncommittee will make recommendations on how\nUBC Reports can offer the best possible\nservice to the campus community. UBC Reports, March 20,1986\nCommerce produces videos\non real estate investment\nForget the \"get-rich in real estate\" schemes\nbeing marketed from the U.S. Ignore the\nworkshops that will allegedly show you how to\nbuy real estate with no money as a down\npayment.\nIn contrast to some controversial\nworkshops currently being advertised in the\nU.S. as a method of making fast money in real\nestate, UBC has completed a series of 12 half-\nhour video tapes that give accurate and\nunbiased information on real estate\ninvestment.\nThe purpose of the series is to provide\ninvestors, advisors and lecturers with a\nfundamental overview of how to analyse real\nestate investments.\n\"The series isn't designed to turn anyone\ninto an overnight estate millionaire,\" said Dr.\nGeorge Gau, chairman of the urban land\neconomics division of UBC's Faculty of\nCommerce and Business Administration, who\nhosts each episode. \"We want to give viewers\ntools that will allow them to make rational\ninvestment decisions.\"\nThe series was produced in UBC's\nDepartment of Biomedical Communications.\nProducer-director of the series was Donna\nAlstad.\n\"We did a number of shootings on location.\nAs backdrops we used such places as banks,\nthe Vancouver Stock Exchange, the Daon\nCentre, the Pan Pacific Hotel, and buildings in\nGastown and Yaletown,\" Ms. Anstad said.\n\"We wanted to make the point that the\nprinciples of investment covered in the\nprograms related to real estate that many\nviewers were familiar with.\nGeorge Gau\nUDC\n\"Part of the exercise involved 'buying' a\nwarehouse in Yaletown that had been\nremodelled and converted into architects'\noffices.\"\nCopies of the video tapes are being sold\nfor $30 each through Bev Spicer, director of\nthe Faculty of Commerce and Business\nAdministration's real estate division (224-\n8444). The price of the complete series is\n$300.\nA preview tape consisting of a 10-minute\noverview and all of the second program,\nInvestment Advantages and Disadvantages, is\navailable for a refundable $30.\nDr. Gau, who provided the content for the\nseries, has an international reputation for his\nresearch in real estate economics. He is\ncurrently president of the American Real Estate\nand Urban Economics Association, the second\nCanadian to hold the position.\nThe first was Dr. Michael Goldberg, also of\nUBC's business school, who was president in\n1984.\nThe 1,000-member association is the\nleading organization for academics and\nprofessionals who teach or do research in the\nfield.\nDr. Gau's research has had a major impact\non the real estate industry and on government\nreal estate policy. He assisted the Toronto\nStock Exchange in developing plans to\nintroduce trading in mortgage options and with\nUBC colleague Dr. Dennis Capozza, he has\nconducted research on mortgage renewal\ninsurance for the Canadian Mortgage and\nHousing Corp.\nNew plants for\nB.C. gardeners\nThe UBC Botanical Garden introduced two\nnew plants to the B.C. public earlier this month\nthrough its unique Plant Introduction Scheme.\nThe goal of the program, which is carried\nout in conjunction with the B.C. Nursery\nTrades Association and the B.C. Society ot\nLandscape Architects, is to introduce attractive,\nuseful but largely unknown or new plant\nvarieties to B.C. gardeners. The program has\ncaptured the interest of nursery associations\ninternationally and has been copied by several\ncountries around the world.\nLast year the UBC Botanical Garden\nintroduced four new plant varieties to the\nprovince. Approximately 1 million plants were\nmade available to the public through nursery\noutlets participating in the program. The two\nnew varieties introduced on March 1 were\nAnaoallis monelli (Pacific Blue) and Viburnum\nplicatum (Summer Snowflake).\nMaterial made available through the Plant\nIntroduction Scheme is being used to\nlandscape areas of the EXPO site, Canada\nPlace, the SeaBus terminal and many parks in\nthe Lower Mainland.\nCaicnmR\nTeam of 12 UBC law students won the Begbie Trophy for the third year in a row at the\nannual B.C. Law Schools Competitive Moot. Shown with faculty advisor Howard\nKushner, centre, are students David Allman, Daniel Bennett, Nerys Blown, Bruce\nDavies, Lucinda Dobbs, Greg Gardner, Scott Huyghebaert, Bonnie Lepin, Helen Low,\nGordon Maynard, Keith Mitchell and Darcy Moch.\nResearch conducted in China\nDr. Paul J. Harrison of UBC will be part of a\nteam of six Canadian scientists who will carry\nout oil pollution research in China this summer.\nTheir work will be conducted off the coast\nof Xiamen, formerly Amoy, in southern China.\nXiamen is earmarked as a new industrial zone\nand free port.\n\"But the area has an extremely valuable\nfishery and the Chinese do not want industrial\nactivity to harm the existing economy based on\nfish,\" Dr. Harrison said.\n\"They are already drilling for oil off the\ncoast and they want the basic scientific\ninformation needed to plan any clean-up that\nwill be required in case of an oil spill.\"\nDr. Harrison, who has a joint appointment\nin UBC's botany and oceanography\ndepartments, said the tests will be conducted\nin four huge \"test tubes\" two metres in\ndiameters and 10 diameters deep suspended\nfrom the surface of the water one-half\nkilometre off shore.\nThe tubes were manufactured in Calgary.\nTwo types of oil will be used in two tubes, oil\nplus a chemical dispersant in another and the\ndispersant only in the fourth.\nThe work is similar to pollution research\ncarried out by an international team of\nscientists led by UBC oceanographers in\nSaanich Inlet on Vancouver Island in the late\n1970s.\n\"We can't apply the Saanich results to the\nsub-tropical conditions of the South China Sea\nbecause of differences in the temperature of\nthe water,\" Dr. Harrison said.\n\"The water there is about 25 degrees\nCelsius compared with 12 to 14 degrees at\nSaanich. The Chinese have different\norganisms in their marine food chain and\nchemical reactions in the organisms occur at a\nfaster rate than in colder water. The increased\nreaction rates speed up the effect of\npollutants.\"\nThe work is part of a $l.4-million project\nfinanced by the federal International\nDevelopment Research Centre, Department of\nFisheries and Oceans and the Chinese\nNational Bureau of Oceanography.\nThe four-year project was initiated by Dr.\nTimothy Parsons of UBC's Departments of\nOceanography and Zoology and Dr. C.S.\nWong of the federal Institute of Ocean Science\nat Patricia Bay in Saanich Inlet. Work began in\n1983 and will conclude with a scientific\nmeeting in China next year.\nPart of the project involves training Chinese\nscientists in Canada.
