Darth Vader is in attendance, as well as a recent-crucified\nJesus Christ. A group of Final\nFantasy heroines stand in the\nwings, swingingtheir blades and\noccasionally pausing to adjust their\ngravity-defying cleavage. Some\ngirls dressed in Victorian era finery\ntwirl parasols in the aisle.\nNeher is building an army. An\narmy of steampunks, furries,\notakus, lolitas and gamers of all\nstripes. He is reaching across the\ngeekdoms and creating a force\nof unstoppable power. When he\nstepped onto the SUB ballroom\nstage last Sunday, he did so with a\nbit of a swagger.\nNeher, creative director of last\nweekend's Cos & Effect cosplay\nconvention, is an unlikely King of\nthe Nerds.\nBorn and raised in Vancouver, he\nlabelled himself a recluse growing\nup. He finally broke out of his shell\nby donning costumes and attending anime and cosplay conventions.\nSudoku by KrazyDad\n\"Cosplay is short for costume\nplay,\" explained Neher. \"It's the act\nof dressing up as a character and\nthen acting in character. People\njust want to dress up as their favourite character and do something\nsilly and hang out with friends.\n\"People were very friendly, and\n[the conventions] were filled with\npeople who have not always gotten\nthe most acceptance from society.\"\nNeher has been attending conventions since 2004. He worked\nhis way up from an attendee to a\nvolunteer, and eventually began his\nown production company in order\nto run this year's event.\nWhen he's cosplaying, Neher\nembraces everything pompous. His\nfavourite characters include the\nbumbling Zapp Brannigan from\nFuturama and Bandit Keith from\nYu-Gi-Oh! who he admires for being \"kind of an ass.\"\n\"I enjoy Zapp Brannigan because he's almost a polar opposite\nto my personality,\" said Neher. \"So\nI can be silly and be that character and explore that side of things\nwithout really being like that.\nHe's kind of incompetent and he's\nalways hitting on women. He's\ndefinitely a very silly person in a\nreal life scenario and I enjoy that.\"\n\"In real life\" is a distinction\nNeher makes often. Neher's production company, which he runs\nwith fellow \"Evil Overlord\" Dan\nBarbier, bears the same name\u00E2\u0080\u0094In\nReal Life.\nIt's an admission that eventually\nthe costume must come off.

Little\nprogress has been made towards\ngettingthe pub up and running\nfor the new year, and the union for\nthe pub's staff has taken legal action against the Graduate Student\nSociety (GSS).\nGSS VP External Jamie Paris said\nthat there is no set date to reopen the\npub, but the GSS is negotiating with\nthird parties who could help run the\npub and share the financial risk.\n\"These third parties would be\noutside businesses,\" Paris said. \"The\nGSS would hope that they would\ntake on all ofthe liability ofthe pub,\nand would allow us to consult with\nthem to make sure that the pub\nkeeps its current look and feel.\"\nParis was clear that it would be\nGSS Council that would make the\nfinal decisions on any options they\nare now considering.\n\"We're still just accepting initial\noffers. Everyone who's pitching\n[ideas] is pitching a different vision\nof how to make sure that the pub\nstays student-run in terms of focus,\nbut not necessarily student-run in\nterms of man-hours and cost,\" said\nParis.\nParis declined comment on the\npub's former staff, who were suspended after it shut down in May.\n\"We've gone above and beyond to\nrespect the labour rights of all the\nemployees,\" he said.\n\"Obviously, whenever you do this\nkind of shutdown, things happen.\nBut we're currently negotiating with\nthe union...we feel bad for the staff in\nthis situation.\"\nDavid Lance, vice president of CUPE 116-the union\nthat represents Koerner's\nemployees\u00E2\u0080\u0094believes the GSS has\nnot met its obligations to staff\nmembers.\nAccording to Lance, CUPE\n116 has filed submissions to the\nLabour Relations Board \"to compel resolution ofthe issues, both\nin terms ofthe closure ofthe pub\nand in terms of redress to make\nsure that the individual members\nconcerned and affected are compensated properly.\"\nParis said lie hopes the workers\nwill continue to work at the new\npub, but Lance was not optimistic.\n\"There could have been consultation and dialogue with the union.\nNeither of those things happened.\nAs a result the staff feel marginalized and disenfranchised,\" he said.\n\"The main issue is communication. And ultimately we believe that\nis symptomatic either of respect for\nyour employees or a lack of respect\nfor your employees.\" tH\nCOPYRIGHTS\nCopyright now responsibility of UBC-AC dropped\nSarah-Nelle Jackson & Micki Cowan\nnews@ubyssey.ca\nUBC is opting out an agreement\nwith Access Copyright (AC), a\nCanadian licensing organization\nthat facilitates compensation to\npublishers from universities who\nuse their works. In a broadcast\nemail, the university stated that\nthe proposed cost increases, as\nwell as AC's surveillance of institutional copying activities, were\nunacceptable.\nNow, the university will no\nlonger rely on agreements fleshed\nout and maintained by AC, but deal\nwith publishers directly under\nCanada's copyright laws.\nLast year, AC proposed a\n308 per cent increase in the fee\nuniversities pay for its services,\nwhich in part motivated several\nother universities\u00E2\u0080\u0094among them\nQueen's, Waterloo, Athabasca and\nSaskatchewan\u00E2\u0080\u0094to also opt-out of\nlicensing agreements with AC.\nAccording to AC, the price increase is meant to reflect growing\nrates of digital copying of materials.\nUnder the Access Copyright Post-\nSecondary Educational Institution\nTariff, the total fees for UBC would\nhave risen from $650,000 to $2 million from 2011 to 2013. This would\nhave translated to a fee increase per\nfull-time student from $3 to $45, if\nthe tariff were to pass its current\nreview by the Supreme Court of\nCanada.\nPaul Smith, UBC's associate VP\nacademic, said that the increased\ncosts would not have been a worthwhile exchange for the benefits\nreceived from AC, and that UBC\nalready has a stock of independent\nlicenses.\n\"We have many license agreements with publishers, something\nNews briefs\nAMS calls for UBC governance\nreview\nThe AMS has asked the province to\ninitiate a governance review of UBC\nafter a motion at Council last week.\n\"We began a governance review last year,\" said AMS President\nJeremy McElroy. According to\nMcElroy, the provincial government\ndismissed the council working on the\nproject. \"We'd like to see it resolved.\"\nUBC currently functions without\nan elected body. UBC pulled out of\nthe Greater Vancouver Regional\nDistrict in 2010, leavingthe campus\nwithout municipal representation.\nVP External Katherine Tyson\nsaid that discussions with Premier\nChristy Clark revealed that she was\nlargely unaware ofthe issue.\nlike $10 million dollars worth.\nThose cases allow copying under\nthe copyright act.\"\n\"There's a residual number, often\nsmaller publishers or journals, and\nthat's what AC was covering. As the\nyears go by, we'll take up more and\nmore licenses as we realize where\nthe money's best spent. The component that AC is covering is goingto\nget smaller and smaller,\" he said.\nAs for new coursepacks, Rebecca\nIrani, UBC Bookstore's marketing\nand communications manager said\nthat the bookstore \"will ensure that\nall copyright clearances are obtained\nfor the material.\n\"This process may take a bit\nlonger as the store will be clearing\ncopyright using a different process\nwhich will include working directly\nwith publishers.\"\nSmith said that paying copyright\nfees to the smaller publishers will not\namount to more than the $650,000\nthat was paid to AC to cover them.\nHowever, the cost to students is yet\nto be determined.\nFor universities who stay with AC,\nexperts say that students will likely\nbe footingthebill if the new tariff is\npassed.\n\"Ultimately students will pay the\ncost ofthe increased fees,\" wrote\nMichael Geist, University of Ottawa\nlaw professor and Canada Research\nChair in Internet and e-Commerce\nLaw, in an email to The Ubyssey.\nGeist added that the cost increases aren't necessary.\n\"As [alternative] licenses have\nexpanded in recent years and open\naccess has grown, it seems to me\nthat the tariff should be going down,\nnot up,\" he wrote.\nBut upped-fees aren't the tariff's\nonly point of controversy.\nSection 6 ofthe tariff would require institutions to deliver monthly\nUBC to host Special Olympics\nCanada Summer Games\nUBC will be the primary venue for\nthe 2014 Special Olympics Canada\nSummer Games, accordingto a\nstatement issued earlier this month.\nAthletes will come to Vancouver\nfrom across the country to compete\nin 11 sports, including basketball,\nbocce ball, golf, swimming, bowling\nand track and field.\nThe Special Olympics are open\nto athletes with mental disabilities.\nUBC hosted Paralympic sledge hockey in 2010\u00E2\u0080\u0094an event for elite athletes\nwith physical disabilities.\nUBC first hosted the games in\n1990.

The AMS also questioned\nwhether faculty sponsors of student\ntravel were the best judges of dangers abroad.\nGo Global, which runs the travel\nabroad program, research and\nexchange programs at UBC, gives\nthe final word on travel restrictions and evacuations. Tlell Elviss,\nGo Global's manager for Safety and\nLearningAbroad said liability was\nnot at the \"core ofthe policy,\" and\nthat \"from a Go Global perspective, the implementation for the\npolicies has been quite successful.\"\nHe added that students needed to\nfollow the office's instructions for\ntheir own safety.\nParson said that despite the\nuniversity's concern over student\nwell-being, the policy is \"something\nthat's separate but not very supplementary\" to Canada's program to\ninform and evacuate all citizens in\ncase of emergencies overseas under\nthe Department of Foreign Affairs\nand Trade. 13 Cnltnre\u00C2\u00BB\n08.16.20111 4\nEditor: Ginny Monaco\nHope: dark roast with cream\nUBC filmmaker tells story of one Japanese professor's caffeinated tsunami relief\nCatherine Guan\nContributor\nHope can take some pretty strange\nforms. In BFA film production student Mackenzie Sheppard's new\ndocumentary, it trundles along in\nthe form of a hot drink delivered\nby a vintage yellow Volkswagen.\nHis film, Yoshi's Blend, follows Nagoya University Professor\nYoshiharu (Yoshi) Masuda and\nhis mobile HOPE Cafe as they\ntransverse the earthquake-ravaged landscape of northern Japan.\nMasuda's mission: to rebuild communities with judiciously roasted,\nrigorously brewed coffee.\nYes, that's right, coffee.\nThe idea of doing a feature on\nMasuda had been percolating in\nSheppard's mind. \"I've always\nthought he was a fascinating character and person,\" confessed the\nfilmmaker.\nBut it wasn't until the devastating earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Japan\nlast March that the project\ntook off. Masuda, in partnership with HOPE International\nDevelopment Agency\u00E2\u0080\u0094an international non-profit based out of New\nWestminster\u00E2\u0080\u0094started serving\nfree connoisseur-grade coffee to\nsurvivors.\nThe disaster had a particular\nflavour for Sheppard, who was\nraised in Japan from the age of\nfive. \"Japan is so small [that] the\nphysical urban landscape feels the\nsame in most cities and towns,\"\nhe said. \"It wasn't hard to feel the\nfear that the locals there must\nhave been experiencing.\"\nAccordingto Sheppard, filming\nhas just wrapped in the tsunami\nzone.\n\"Things have improved a lot.\nBut besides the debris trucks and\ndiggers, the coastline is a ghost\ntown at the end ofthe day,\" he\nsaid. \"There is deep mistrust ofthe\ngovernment now, as to how much\nis being revealed to the media and\npublic.\"\nNevertheless, hope remains.\n\"You can still feel the communities holding themselves together,\"\nSheppard said. \"The one thing I\nwas aiming to capture ... was the\nhappiness that Yoshi was bringing\nto people in the tsunami zone.\"\nOver the two month shooting\nperiod, Sheppard has seen how the\nprofessor's elaborately prepared\nbrew restores a sense of normalcy\nfor the locals. A day in the coastal\narea of Babanakayama was particularly memorable.\n\"When we got there, much of\nthe debris was still visible outside\nand the atmosphere was cold and\nbleak. Yoshi set up the cafe in the\nfisherman's gazebo beside the\nwater, and within minutes ofthe\nfisherman drinking the coffee, the\nplace was cheery and warm. It was\na great moment.\"\nThe coffee that Masuda serves\nis from HOPE'S organic learning\nfarm in the Philippines. With his\nbrew, Masuda wants to build a\npartnership between coffee growers and the Japanese, both struggling to return to self-reliance.\nYURI KOOKABURRA/FACEBOOK PHOTC\nMackenzie Sheppard's film follows Professor Yoshi Masuda, whose mobile cafe brought fresh coffee to tsunami victims.\nYoshi's dream, the director explained, is to motivate the locals\nin the area to take over the cafe.\n\"[It would be a] new job to start\ntheir lives off of,\" he said. With\nhis \"cafe start-up kits,\" people\nare given the tools to operate a\ncafe and can repay the costs once\nthey start showing a profit. Or, as\nSheppard calls it, \"coffee micro\ncredit.\"\nThe art of coffee-making, accordingto the professor, serves as\na metaphor for life. Coffee beans\nundergo the ordeal of roasting,\ngrinding, boiling, dripping and\nsteeping. Agonizingly long pulls finally extract a few drops to reward\nthe palate.\nAmidst the complex aromatics\nof Yoshi's Blend, perhaps there is\nthe taste of hope. tH\nMORE INFO\n\u00E2\u0096\u00BA>J\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Yoshi's Blend was shot on a\nstrict budget of $4,650.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 The film will be completed\nOctober 22nd. 2011.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 15 per cent of money raised\nwill be donated to Professor\nMasuda's coffee van.\nUBC\na place of mind\nW\nS\nams\nCome early for\nyour U-Pass\nStarting August 25, you can get your\nU-Pass at UBC Bookstore.\nGet it by August 31 to be entered into a draw for\na $100 gift card to the Bookstore.\nYou will not be mailed a U-Pass so you must pick up your\npass in person at UBC Bookstore.\nWrite for news\nKayleena Makortoff and Micki Cowan\nnews@ubyssey.ca\nYour campus radio station\nwith online streaming\nand podcasts\nVisit upass.ubc.ca for details.\nCiTR\n101.9fm/CITR.ca\nOWN YOUR FREQUENCY\nand\npublisher\nof\nH^\u00C2\u00AB#M=H Sports\u00C2\u00BB\n08.16.20111 5\nON THE COVER \u00C2\u00BB\nGEOFF LISTER^HE UBYSSEY\nRebuilding a winning program\nDrake Fenton\nsports@ubyssey.ca\n\"Training camp is kind of like\nChristmas morning for a coach,\"\nsaid Shawn Olson, the head coach of\nUBC's football team.\nThough UBC's training camp,\nwhich begins August 18, may remind Olson of Christmas morning,\nit should remind him of Easter.\nThis year is a chance for rebirth.\n\"We have some veteran guys\nthat have been through some lean\nyears,\" Olson said. \"They are excited for the prospect of making the\nplayoffs and to start fulfilling the\naspirations they had when they first\ncame here.\"\nUBC finished with a 2-6 record\nin Olson's first year as head coach.\nThe program has been stagnating\nsince 2006, the last year the team\nmade the playoffs.

That, paired with\nthe bonus of having been together\nfor a full year, has Olson believing that this is Greene's year to\nblossom.\n\"I know him a lot better now\nand I know where his strengths\nand his weaknesses are, so we will\nstructure things offensively to work\ntowards his strengths,\" Olson said.\n\"I am expecting a big year from\nhim, and maybe that means him\nscrambling less and gaining fewer\nyards with his feet and being more\nto help establish Olson's offensive\nphilosophy.\n\"I believe it is important to run\nthe football and I believe that is\nsomething that sets the table for the\nwhole offense,\" he said. \"There is a\nphysicality that is important to have\nto run the football effectively and\nthat is something we are going to\ncommit to.\"\nAn improved offense will undoubtedly help the 'Birds gain\nground in the Canada West, but\nif their defence is unable to slow\nteams down, or at the very least\nkeep games close, UBC will have\nlittle chance of returning to the\nplayoffs. In the 2010 campaign they\nranked dead last in the Canada West\nin total defence and second last in\nrun defence.\n\"Defence is one area we are looking to improve,\" Olson said. \"I think\nwe are going to be slightly different,\na little less complex and be in a position to just let our guys play aggressive in the scheme.\"\nDefensive end Serge Kaminsky\nis a player Olson expects to lead the\ndefence and play with the aggressive attitude needed to shut down\nan opposing team's running game.\nThe fourth-year, six-foot-three, 245\npound Kaminsky will be asked to\nanchor the defensive line from the\nweak-side defensive end position,\nand help mentor the host of younger\nlinemen that will be receiving minutes in the rotation.\nIf things click duringtraining\ncamp, Olson feels like his team will\nbe able to make some noise in the\nCanada West.\n\"I think we are going to be a\nteam that is going to surprise some\npeople,\" he said. \"I think we are going to be a team that is going to be\ncompetitive every single week. We\nare going to work hard and we have\nmore talent than we've had in past\nyears.\"\nWhether or not the 'Birds will\nmake the playoffs, Olson wouldn't\nsay. He has high hopes for the team\nand the direction they are heading, but right now his focus is on\ntraining camp and the 100 players\nexpected to be there.\nUBC's first game ofthe seaso n\nwill be September 2, on the road\nagainst the University of Regina. 13\nBy the numbers\n\u00C2\u00BB1\n2-6\nUBC's record last\n2006\nThe last time\nUBC made the playoffs.\nbW*K UBC's points\nper game average last season,\nsecond to last In the conference\ni9A*^7 Average amount of\npoints UBC conceded per game\nlast season, second to last in the\nconference\n^ri9*^# Quarterback Billy\nGreene's completion percentage\nlast season.\n65\nQuarterback\ncompletion percentage Coach\nOlson wants Greene to have this\nyear.\n3912\nTotal amount of\nyards gained against UBC last\nseason, the most conceded in\nthe Canada West.\n100\nAmount of people\nexpected to attend UBC's\ntraining camp.\nVideo content\nCheck out the premier of The\nUbyssey Weekly Recap today @\nubyssey.ca/multimedia.\nTofino twice a day...

GSS executives countered by applauding their\nown leadership, promising the pub\nwould return and downplaying the\nrift with the union.\nSo GSS, how's that working out\nfor ya? Because right now, as far\nas we can tell, there is no date to\nopen up the pub\u00E2\u0080\u0094only a vague hope\ntliat someone will take financial\nliability while keeping it \"student-\nrun in terms of focus\" and no end\nin site to a dispute with CUPE 116.\nThe bumbling would be hilarious\nif it didn't mean that the chances of\nKoerner's returning is disappearing\nfaster than a $12 pitcher of Hachet\nat Mahony's.\nHappy trails, Mr Tompkins\nThe student government at\nKwantlen University is currently\nembroiled in a massive scandal that\ninvolves identity cover-up, million-\ndollar lawsuits and shady firings.\nIt's a reminder that for all the occasional screw-ups of our AMS, it\nhasn't had the type of idiocy that\ncauses permanent damage to its legitimacy in representing students.\nPart ofthe reason for this is that\nfor many years, the AMS has had\na speaker of council who takes no\nbullshit, has no dog in any fight,\nknows his way around Robert's\nRules of Order and can diffuse\na tense situation with jokes that\nalways come close to the line, but\nrarely cross it.\nHis name is Dave Tompkins,\nand sadly for our student government, he'll be moving to Ontario\nnext week to take a teaching job at\nthe University of Waterloo. To say\nwhomever replaces him will have\na tall order in front of them is redundant\u00E2\u0080\u0094no one will immediately be\nable to fill his sizeable shoes.\nLondon and Vancouver\nrioters birds of a feather\nThe riots in London were sparked\nby the death of a man at the hands\nofthe police, which is certainly a\nmore serious issue than the local\nhockey team losing a big game. In\nthat sense, the London riots are a\nvery different phenomenon than\nthe Vancouver riot in June. But in\nboth cases, an inadequate security response to a few incidents of\nstreet violence gave large numbers\nof people the opportunity to smash\nand steal with impunity.\nDespite the dissimilar initial\ncircumstances, it didn't take long\nfor the London riots to become just\nas meaningless and tragic as the\nhockey riot was here. Looting and\ndestroying the shops of innocent\npeople is never a necessary or reasonable response to social issues,\nregardless of how compelling those\nsocial issues are. The London rioters, as with the Vancouver rioters, are not deserving of anyone's\nsympathy.\nAMS frosh kits unrealistically\nexpensive\nThe AMS is expecting students to\nfork up $80 for a frosh kit this year.\nThat's eight pitchers on a Tuesday in\nthe SUB.\nAnd while it includes admission\nto First Week events, a $20 ticket\nto whoever is playing on Friday\nnight and may just be the snuggliest\nfrosh kit you'll get this year, expecting students to fork up that much\nmoney for what is essentially AMS\nadvertising is unrealistic.Students\nreceive free or steeply discounted\nfrosh kits from their faculty and\nthat is what students identify with.\nThe AMS should focus on supporting students and throwing events\nduring First Week.\nBesides, no one actually buys the\nAMS frosh kit.\nTaking UBC governance off\nthebackburner\nLast week, the AMS made a essential move towards having a stake in\nthe long-term governance at UBC,\nasking for a seat on any review body\ncreated. Of course, that means the\nprovince actually has to create one.\nThe university has been in limbo\nsince 2010, when the province put\nUBC in charge of its own land use.\nThis was intended to be an interim\nsolution. But here we are 18 months\nlater with little more momentum\ntowards a long-term solution.\nThe fact is, between cabinet\nreshuffling, ministerial overturn\nand a new premier, UBC's lack of\nmunicipal representation has faded\nto the background. And the distance\nbetween UBC and the province is so\nlarge that the government will probably end up taking direction from\nthe university with few questions.\nHowever, the AMS has rightly\ntried to ensure that, somehow, the\n46,000 of us can have our say\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nis, if the province remembers that\nwe still exist.\nCheaterville.com is sick and\ntwisted\nCheaterville.com has recently become\navailable in Canada. The website\nallows individuals to go online and\npost photos and information about\na former partner that they believe\ncheated on them. The caveat is\nthat there is no way to know if the\nperson whose reputation is being\nthreatened actually cheated or not.\nA guy can be made to look like a pig\nand a girl can be made to look like\na slut\u00E2\u0080\u0094all on the whim of a person\nthat's pissed off that they have been\ndumped and have gained five pounds\nfrom eating ribs and ice cream in\nbed. Undoubtedly, there will be some\npeople on the website that actually\ncheated, but is a website like this really necessary? Do people's private\nlives need to be made this public?\nWhere do we draw the line? To avoid\nbeing slandered on the internet, we\nsuggest you avoid dumping someone\nvia Facebook chat after you have just\nslept with their best friend. 13\nSolving conflict through film\nPerspectives\n\u00C2\u00BB By Kyle Farquharson\nI am far from a professional actor.\nMy most substantial role occurred in my graduating year, during which I graced the stage in a\nspoof of Shakespeare's Hamlet.\nI portrayed the evil Claudius, and\nam still amused at having been cast\nin such a diabolical role.\nHowever, when I turned up for\nthe pitch session for participants in\nPeace it Together (PiT)\u00E2\u0080\u0094a filmmaking program designed to encourage\ncooperation and dialogue between\nIsraeli and Palestinian youth\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nrookie filmmaker from Tel Aviv\npegged me as his ideal leading man.\nWith a healthy dose of skepticism, I\nconsidered his offer, and ultimately\nagreed. After all, the opportunity to team up with an Israeli,\na Palestinian and a Canadian of\nIranian descent for a film project is\none that surely doesn't present itself\nevery day.\nIn all, 30 university students from\nIsrael, the West Bank and across\nCanada came to Vancouver to discuss their fears, ambitions and perceptions of life in the Middle East.\n\"Sometimes, I feel like making\na film that simulates the [Israeli-\nPalestinian] conflict,\" said the\n26-year-old filmmaker Shoni\nAronovich. \"You could present it\nlike: 'We've got this situation, nobody planned it like this, we're kind\nof stuck in it and we need to find a\nway out of it together with the materials we have.'\"\nAronovich had to deal with\nproducing a film with no budget,\nin a matter of days. Add to this\ngenerations of animosity between\nIsraelis and Palestinians, and you've\ngot a volatile combination.\nThe students were separated into\nteams with one representative from\neach nation, and pitched ideas for a\nseries of short films.\n\"We had lots of conflicts during\nthe editing,\" Aronovich added. \"But\nsometimes, we know we just have to\nput aside all that separates us.\"\nYet somehow, we all got through\nthe filming process unscathed. Even\nmore impressively, our relations\nremained amicable, and we're all\nsatisfied with the product\u00E2\u0080\u0094a film\ndepicting the tragedy of a life cut\nshort by war.\n\"Filmmaking is a stress-filled,\nsleep-deprived, caffeine-injected\nenterprise,\" said Aronovich. \"It\ndemands much more ofthe students\nthan basic civility.\"\nAmal Adawi from Bethlehem\nsaid that before PiT \"I had never\nseen any Israelis outside ofthe\ncheckpoints...or when they would\nattack my house.\" Virtually every\nday, she passes through checkpoints, making travel through her\nhomeland arduous. Her father has\nbeen arrested by Israeli authorities.\nShe says she is accustomed to living\nin fear.\nPiT does not pretend to advance a solution to conflict in\nthe beleaguered Israel-Palestine\nregion. There are too many unhealed wounds, too many puzzles\nof autonomy and citizenship and\ntoo much ongoing turmoil for one\nsingle organization to resolve. But\nin the peaceful surrounds of UBC,\nfar from the disarray that mars the\nHoly Land, a multinational group of\nstudent filmmakers has taken a step\nin the right direction. 13\nNew VP Students, same questions\nEditor's\nNotebook\nJustin McElroy\nShould you ever be masochistic enough to delve into the inner\nworkings of power at UBC, you'll be\ndisappointed when you realize that\nPresident Stephen Toope and his\nmerry band of vice presidents don't\nreally have much to do with your\nuniversity experience. The decisions\nthey make won't really affect you\nover the course ofyour degree unless\nthings go terribly wrong. They're\ntoo focused on the macro, not the\nmicro, and the choices they make go\nthrough any number of committees\nand deans, and committees of deans,\nbefore reaching any student.\nExcept for the VP Students department. Focused on the \"student\nexperience,\" ifyou do something\nat UBC that has nothing to do with\ntaking a class, that department\nis probably behind it. Enrolling\nat UBC, usingthe SSC, living in\nTotem, going to a T-Bird game\u00E2\u0080\u0094all\nare ultimately overseen by the VP\nStudents. And now, for the first\ntime in 11 years, we'll be getting a\nnew one.\nLouise Cowin, formerly ofthe\nUniversity of Toronto, was appointed the new VP Students last\nmonth and will be taking over the\nposition in October. In the world of\nuniversity administration, it's a big\ndeal. Anytime somebody new comes\ninto a job where they're in charge of\nhundreds of millions of dollars and\nthe experiences of 45,000 people,\nthings change, priorities get shifted\nand causes get championed.\nBut the delightful thing is that\nright now, none of that is known.\nWe don't know who Louise Cowin is\nand what she will bringto the position. Will she wear a bow-tie on her\nfirst day of work? As supervisor of\nhousing, will she mandate that every\nFriday in Totem Cafeteria be Haggis\nDay? As supervisor of athletics, will\nshe advocate that UBC become nationally competitive in croquet? We\nare waiting for Cowin to speak. To\ndate, she has been silent.\nOkay, those were jokes and poor\nones, at that. What isn't a laughing\nmatter, though, are UBC's results\nin the National Survey of Student\nEngagement, where we rank seventh-\nworst in the country in creating a\n\"supportive campus environment.\" It\nisn't a laughing matter that housing\non campus is so expensive\u00E2\u0080\u0094despite\nUBC being the owner, developer and\nmanager of every property here\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nmany would consider staying at home\nwith parents or finding a basement\nsuite on Main rather than applying\nto live here. It isn't a laughing matter that UBC puts millions of dollars\ninto financingthe most competitive\nuniversity athletic program in the\ncountry, while putting profit margins\nabove public access for most of their\nfields and gyms.\nThat isn't to say that Brian\nSullivan, who was VP Students from\n1999 to March of this year, did a poor\njob\u00E2\u0080\u0094far from it. But no executive is\nperfect, and a new pair of eyes guarantees a new way of thinking and\na new set of priorities. Either way,\nher first steps will be intriguingto\nwatch. 13 \u00C2\u00BB 81 Games 108.i6.20n\nCrossword\n1\n2\n3\n4\n5\nG\n7\na\n9\n10\n11\n12\n13\n14\n15\n1G\n17\nla\n19\n20\n21\n|22\n23\n24\nWio\n25\n2G\n27\n2a\n29\n31\n32\n33\n3^\n35\n|3G\n37\n3S\n39\n40\n41\n42\n43\n\u00C2\u00A3,\u00C2\u00A3,\n49\n45\n^0\n*G\n47\n48\n51\n52\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 S3\nii\n55\nSG\n57\n58\n59\nGO\nGl\nG2\nG3\n6*\n65\nAcross\n1- Publicity\n4- Cavern\n10- Cairo cobras\n14- Anonymous John\n15- Fame\n16-Singer Amos\n17-Where it's at\n18-Functional\n20- Actress Gardner\n21-Org.\n22-Fish\n23-Admit\n25-Kind of kitchen\n28- Fish appendage\n29 - Spahn teammate\n30-Ancient\n31-Em, e.g.\n32- Uneasy\n35- Fair-hiring abbr.\n36-Be human\n37-Additional\n44-Football kick\n45-Make into law\n46-Specks\n48- Japanese sash\n49-Hiding place\n50- Outer coat of a seed\n51- Golden Horde member\n53-Bristle\n55- Hesitant sounds\n56- Requiring an acidic environment\n59- the season...\n60-Actress Gershon\n61- Consecrate\n62- Calendar abbr.\n63- Nervously irritable\n64- Playground retort\n65- Dash lengths\nDown\n1- Standards of perfection\n2- Recently created\n3- Insoluble protein\n4-Moan\n5- Workout count\n6-Ego\n7- Violent whirlwind\n8-Defunct airline\n9- Mich, neighbor\n10- Lots and lots\n11- Melodious\n12- Sugarcoated almond\n13- Soundless\n19- Author Fleming\n24- Commence\n26- Thrice, in prescriptions\n27- Purpose\n30- Beaten egg dish\n31- Scrape off\n33- Alley ___\n34- Illustrative craft\n37- Slightly sour\n38-Unific\n39-Bambi'saunt\n40- Bulky and heavy\n41- Level of command\n42- Floral ornament\n43- Rare metallic element\n44-Thick soup\n47-Talks back to\n49-Hit sign\n50- Be silent, musically\n52- Forever's partner\n54- Bandleader Puente\n57-Palm Pilot, e.g.\n58-That girl\ns\nN\n1,\n^\n0\nN\n3\na\nV\nA\nD\na\n3\n3\nfl\n+,\n3\n1\nO\nA\n3\na\nV\nN\n1\nD\nS\n1\n4\n3\n1\n3\n1\nH\nds|o| a\n1\n3\nV\ns\na\nI-\nV\n1\n3\n5 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 a 1 v\n1\nV\n1\nV\n1\nJ _ \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ns\nV\n11 s__ 1\na\n0\ns\n1\n0\na \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 1\nD\nV\nN\ni,|i\nN\nn\nd\n1\nA\na\nV\n1\nN\n3\nvt\n3\ni\nd\nd\nn\ns\nl\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\na\n3 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 3\n0\n4\n3\n3\ns\nV\nX\na\n0\ni\nw\n0\n3\nN\nn\n1\nN\nn\n. __ N\n3\na\n1\nn| N\n1\nV\nS\nN\n1\nH s 1'\nj.\nV\nl| N 1.\n1\n3\n3\n3\n3\nD\nN | . \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 _\ N\nS\ns\nV\nV\nA\nV\n3\nV\nN\n0 1 'di 1 \u00C2\u00B1\nV\na\n3\nd\n0\na\nfl\n3_\n1\na\nO\n\u00C2\u00B1\nN\nM\n0\nN\n3\na\n3\nO\na_\nS.\nd.\nst\nV\noc\n\u00C2\u00B1\n1\nos\na_\nD\n>_\nN,\ni_\nWhat does being-the-fastest\non-campus mean to you?\nGet the Shaw Student Speed Bundle\nfor only $36/month and find out.\nShaw is looking to crown the fastest person on campus with fun competitions that are all about speed.
