It\nwas recently founded by Thomas\nElgie, Jamie Grassby and Ruari\nTrueger, third-year students in the\nfaculties of engineering, commerce\nand arts, respectively.\nDuring the razor blade heyday of\nthe '90s, facial hair in all its forms\nhad been deemed an abomination\nto the face of man. But no more.\nThe Ministry is setting forth to\nrevive the art of the moustache in\nthe grand tradition of greats such as\nTom Selleck.\n\"Just a seriously handsome dog,\"\ndeclared Trueger regarding his idol,\nthe Magnum, PI star.\nHis comrades were likewise\nmoved by a few iconic 'staches.\nGrassby's inspiration was Burt\nReynolds, and for Elgie, it was\nthe enviably full whiskers of the\nMonopoly Man.\nAccordingto Elgie, \"The idea first\npopped into our heads at the end\nof last year. We were talking about\nclubs in general and how some of\nthem are so ridiculous and have\nthese bizarre names.\"\nThe Ministry's first event is the\ninaugural Moustache Pageant, to\nbe held at the esteemed Pit Pub on\nNov. 30. Proceeds will go to prostate\ncancer research.\n\"Fun aside, it also allows for\nmoney and awareness to be raised,\nand makes the important point that\nmen are hairy,\" said Trueger. He\nsaid he believes this movement can\npotentially have even grander implications for all mankind, noting with\ndismay that \"so many men in this\nday and age feel the need to shave\ntheir face, chest, back and nether\nregions.\"\n\"The same applying to women, of\ncourse, with arguably more social\npressure on them, and I feel it serves\nas a way to change that for both\nsexes. Although that might be a bit\nof a bold claim. Baby steps.\"\nGrowing a moustache is not for\nthe faint of heart; their battle for the\nstatus of upper lip scruff hasn't been\nan easy one. Grassby admitted that\n\"family, for the most part, doesn't\nlike it, which doesn't come as a huge\nsurprise.\"\nAfter a pause, he added: \"Actually, friends don't really like it either.\"\nElgie faced similar resistance.\n\"My mom likes the idea behind it,\nthat it's for prostate cancer, but she\ndidn't like it at first. She thought it\nlooked perverted.\"\nMuch to the chagrin of these\ngentlemen, the moustache still can't\nshake off its negative connotations.\nElgie offered the following\ncounsel to aspiring hirsute men:\n\"Try to avoid trench coats and dark\ncorners.\"\nIt might also be prudent to avoid\nmirrors. \"Don't be discouraged the\nfirst week or two; it's not going to\nlook great,\" said Grassby. \"Mine\ndoesn't look great; I'm not talking\nas the Moustache Man of the Year\nhere. But you've just got to work\nthrough it.\" Elgie's advice for those\ntrying times is to \"partner with the\nMinistry of Moustachery and talk\neach other through it.\"\n\"I am a particularly hairy chap,\nand rather proud of that,\" said Trueger. \"I hope to instill the same sense\nof pride in others, whether they be\nhairy or not. Flaunt what you got,\nnot necessarily what society wants\nyou to have!\"\nA sense of fearlessness is important for a man to wear a moustache\nwell. Trueger pronounced, \"The\nMoustache Man is bold. The kind\nof man who wrestles bears, outruns\nmountain lions only to return home\nto his wife, eight sons and daughter\nat his small cabin in the Yukon...\nand mentions nothing of it. It is a\nstate of mind, body and soul.\"\nA Moustache Man like Elgie\nthinks nothing of lofty goals. \"For\nsure, I was going for the handlebar\n[for my first moustache]. Still can't\ndo it. Still goingto try.\"\nGrassby is no less fierce, having\n\"dabbled in jet black\", which is a\ndaring move for someone who describes himself as \"quite blonde\".\nThere will be some bold moustaches on display at the Moustache\nPageant at the Pit. \"Expect some\ngood clean fun, with a chance to\ntake your moustache and a friend to\nCancun, Mexico, as we are giving\naway a trip for two as a part of a\ndraw thanks to Palm Bay,\" said\nTrueger.\nThe competition is not limited to\nmen. \"We've got some fingerstaches\ncoming,\" Elgie said. After all, \"the\nnext great thing to a great moustache is someone who appreciates a\ngreat moustache.\" Xi\nBecome a **\nParliamentary\nFun aside, it also\nallows for money\nand awareness to be\nraised, and makes the\nimportant point that\nmen are hairy.\nRuari Truger\nClub co-founder\nDon't be discouraged\nthe first week or two.\nIt's not going to look\ngreat.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2012 | CULTURE\nBetween debatable faculty\nspirit and uncertain job\nprospects, Arts students\nare often apathetic about\ntheir choice of faculty. In particular, students within the more\ncreative departments may feel left\nin the cold due to the outdated\narchitecture of their buildings\nand the budget cuts that mire\ntheir studies.\nBut it's important to remember\nthat UBC's art programs have\nproduced creatives of national and\ninternational calibre. Many have\ngone onto exhibit, direct and perform in award-winning projects\nacross the world. The following\nlist features some of UBC's best\nand brightest across several departments in the creative arts.\nJUDITH FORST,\nBACHELOR OF\nMUSIC, 1965\nCOURTESYOFJUDITH FORST\nJudith Forst has cultivated a\nworldwide reputation as a mez\nzo-soprano opera singer over the\ncourse of her multi-decade career.\nShortly after graduating, she won\nseveral prestigious competitions\nand was soon signed with the\ninfamous New York Metropolitan Opera, with whom she has\nstarred in over 200 performances.\nPerforming with numerous other\nopera companies in Canada and\nacross the world, Forst was the\nfirst performer to play several\npremiere roles. In 1978 she was\nnamed Canadian Woman of the\nYear, and she is an officer of the\nOrder of Canada.\nMARY UMAS PHOJWHE UBYSSEY\nERIC PETERSON,\n9 BACHELOR\nL. OF ARTS IN\nTHEATRE, 1972\nEric Peterson is well-known\nfor his role as the delightfully\ndim-witted Oscar Leroy on CTV's\nCorner Gas. However, he is also a\nveteran of Canadian theatre. In the\nearly '70s, Peterson helped pioneer\nthe collective theatre movement\nin Canada through his co-founding of the Vancouver Tamahn-\nous Theatre company, as well as\nhis involvement with Toronto's\nTheatre Passe Muraille. In 1978,\nPeterson co-wrote and performed\nin the award-winning one-man\nplay, Billy Bishop Goes to War, with\nfellow UBC alum John Gray. The\nshow has been continuously performed throughout North America\never since.\nSTURLA\nGUNNARSSON,\nMASTER OF\nARTS IN FILM\nSTUDIES, 1977\nENTERTAINMENTONE\nFilmmaker Sturla Gunnarsson\nis respected by critics for his\nability to weave together history,\ndrama and narrative into visually\npolished productions. His major\nsuccesses include his Oscar-nominated 1981 docudrama about\ncorporate downsizing, After the\nAxe, and the International Emmy\naward-winning Gerry and Louise,\na 1997 documentary love story\nset in apartheid Africa. He has\nalso directed numerous episodes\nof popular television series, such\nas Da Vinci's Inquest, The Twilight Zone and Rookie Blue. He\nis currently the president of the\nDirector's Guild of Canada.\nJANE1000 PH0T0/FUCKR\nKEN LUM,\n4 MASTER OF FINE\nARTS IN VISUAL\nARTS, 1985\nKen Lum's career as an educator\nand artist is paralleled by few\nothers. Residents of Vancouver\nwill recognize his public art installations, such as the iconic Monument to East Vancouver, all over\nthe city. But his influence extends\nmuch further; his works have\nrepresented Canada in a multitude\nof prestigious international art\nexhibitions, such as the Shanghai\nBiennale and Germany's Docu-\nmenta. He has published essays in\nprominent academic journals, cur-\nated art shows and taught about\nart across the world.\nHART HANSON,\n5 MASTER OF\nFINE ARTS\nIN CREATIVE\nWRITING, 1987\n^>- hf\nmm r^S\ ^k\n3ENEVIEVE719PH0T0/FUCKR\nHart Hanson is the creator and\nongoing show runner of the hit TV\nseries-Bones, the forensic anthropology drama based on the novels\nof Kathy Reichs. Long before he\nachieved fame with .Bones, Hanson\ncredits his creative writing professors with getting his feet wet in the\nindustry. He started his career as a\nscript reader at CBC before moving\non to write for acclaimed shows like\nStargate SG-1, the Emmy-nominated Joan of Arcadia, and the Gemini\naward-winning Traders. Xi\n-Rhys Edwards\nUBC art grads\nyou should know\nFrom award-winning\ntelevision shows to public\nart installations, these UBC\nalumni dominate the arts\nscene Opinions\nLAST WORDS\nPARTINGS SHOTS AND SNAP JUDGEMENTS ON TODAY'S ISSUES\n*n& kern il*AT wE WANTED To\nWe WAMT tb^R\nraoKYovr///\netoNOM\nQDDQQDQ\nUBC ADEPT AT\nPRETENDING TO CARE\nWHAT YOU THINK\nIfyou follow consultation\nprocesses on campus (and who\ndoesn't love a good consultation process), you'll know the\noutcomes are usually a mixed bag.\nWhether consultations have to\ndo with changes to academic programs or development on campus,\nUBC usually arrives at one of two\noutcomes:\na.) Hey, it was great to hear from\nyou, campus resident/student.\nA lot of good ideas and dialogue\nreally came out of this whole\nprocess. But, you know, we're just\ngoing to end up doing what we\nplanned ahead of time, because,\nyou know, fuck it.\nb.) \"God, fine. You don't want\nthis hospice/condo/program. You\ncomplained enough. We'll just try\nto put it somewhere else and start\nIt's more often the former, but if\npeople are really united in their\nopposition to a project, UBC\nwill eventually back off. Look at\nwhat happened in 2011, when the\nuniversity tried to put market\nhousing by the bus loop, or the decision to move an end-of-life care\ncentre from beside a student residence to right by one of the most\nexpensive condos on campus.\nThat's just on the development\nfront, but as we saw last week, the\nsame thing applies to academics.\nUBC decided to roll out a new\ndegree called the bachelor of\ninternational economics. It's a\nnew degree at the newly created\nVancouver School of Economics.\nBecause it is a \"separate\" school,\nit can charge more or less whatever it wants. The degree will cost\n$10,000 per year for domestic\nstudents and $29,000 per year for\ninternational. We called it a cheap\nattempt at skirting the cap on\ntuition increases. Students who\nagreed, including AMS VP Academic Kiran Mahal, took their\nconcerns to a \"consultation\" session in October. If they thought\nUBC would take their concerns\nseriously, though, they were sadly\nmistaken. The program, tuition\nhike intact, found its way onto\nthe agenda for the next Board of\nGovernors meeting.\nThe Ministry of Advanced\nEducation has yet to officially approve the program. They need to\ntake a close look at the precedent\nfor tuition increases this could\nset. But will the minister look beyond the buzzwords? Will he see\nthe program as anything other\nthan a creative way to fill a funding gap? More money isn't coming\nfrom his government, after all.\nUBC had a plan, pretended\nthey cared what you thought and\nwent ahead with it. It was great to\nhear from you all!\nSHUTTLE SERVICE TO\nSHUT DOWN FOR AREAS\nWITH STUDENTS\nSo, the campus community\nshuttle busses are changing their\nroutes. The shuttle that goes to\nHampton Place and Acadia Park\nis getting axed, and a new beefed-\nup C20 shuttle will now go to\nWesbrook Place.\nCutting service to Acadia and\nadding service to Wesbrook perfectly reflects where UBC's priorities are in general. They're trying\nto make the pricey new condos\nin Wesbrook Place as desirable\nas possible. They've offered\nsweetheart leases for businesses\nto come into the area, and they're\ngenerally pulling out all the stops\nto make Wesbrook as nice and\nwell-serviced as possible.\nUBC had a plan,\npretended they cared\nwhat you thought and\nwent ahead with it. It\nwas great to hear from\nyou all!\nOn consultations on the bachelor\nof international economics\nAcadia Park, on the other hand,\nis full of student parents living in\nlow-priced student housing. This\nsummer, UBC shunted a bunch of\nthose students out of townhouses\nthat weren't going to be repaired.\n(They do plan on building market\nhousing over at Acadia someday,\nbut it won't be for a while, so\nwe're not surprised they didn't\nmake transit there a priority.)\nOnce Wesbrook started booming, it was only a matter of time\nuntil UBC would find a way to get\nCJ. PENTLAND ILLUSTRATIONffHE UBYSSEY\nshuttle service there. Fair enough.\nBut it's too bad that they had to\ncut service from a student-family\nneighbourhood in the process.\nBIKE KITCHEN NEEDS\nA PLAN IF THEY'RE\nGOING TO ASK FOR MORE\nMONEY\nYou know, lots of things would\nbe easier if everyone had a little\nmore money. But if your plan to\nget more money is to ask folks to\nfund you through, say, a new tax\nor fee, you'd better give them a\ngood reason to open their wallets.\nThe Bike Kitchen is currently\npushing a petition to get on the\nreferendum in January. If they get\nenough signatures, students will\nbe asked whether they support a\nnew $1 fee to subsidize the service. They argue that to continue\nto deliver services to students, especially in their expanded space\nslated for the new SUB, they need\na stable source of funding.\nTheir current funding model\nis a little slap-dash. They rely\non grants from UBC and other\norganizations, as well as money\nfrom sales. Applying for those\ngrants no doubt takes up a lot of\nresources.\nBut will that fly with students?\nWe'd like to hear what sort of new\ninitiatives $1 from every student\ngets us. New positions for mechanics? A facelift for the decrepit\nPurple and Yellow fleet? More\nused bikes?\nThe Bike Kitchen provides a\nlot of useful services. But saying\n\"we'd like some more money\"\nisn't the best argument. tJ\nCorrection\nIn the article \"Musqueam\nband to develop block of land\nbeside campus\" (Nov. 26), as\nwell as the corresponding Last\nWord, we incorrectly stated\nthat the Musqueam sought to\nbuild \"1,000-12,000\" housing\nunits on its Block F property.\nIn fact, the Musqueam are\nproposing between 1,000\nand 1,200 units. The Ubyssey\nregrets this comically bad use\nof zeros.\nStill working for change 23\nyears after Montreal massacre\nPERSPECTIVES\nby Anne-Marie Long\nI was a Grade 12 student in\nToronto during the Montreal\nMassacre on Dec. 6,1989.1 didn't\nknow any of the 14 women who\nwere murdered. I didn't know any\nof the survivors. Yet their story\nhas profoundly shaped part of\nwho I am. I remember Dec. 6 like\nit was yesterday. I remember it\nlike people remember events like\n9/11. These women were students.\nThese women were studying for\nexams, and, like many of us today,\nplanning for their December break\nand beyond.\nOn Dec. 6,1989, an armed man\nwalked into an engineering classroom at l'Ecole Polytechnique, ordered the 50 or so men to leave and\nopened fire on the nine remaining\npeople - all women. Claiming that\nhe was \"fighting feminism,\" he\nshot all nine, killing six of them.\nHis rampage continued through\nthe school for 20 minutes. Shouting \"I want women,\" he specifically targeted women and shot 28\npeople before he killed himself.\nIn the end, 14 young women\nwere dead, killed only because\nthey were women. He blamed\nwomen for taking the education\nand jobs that he felt should belong\nto men. \"I have decided to send the\nfeminists, who have always ruined\nmy life, to their maker.\" In his suicide note, he named 19 prominent\nQuebec women who \"nearly died\ntoday. The lack of time (because I\nstarted too late) has allowed these\nradical feminists to survive. Alea\nJacta Est [The die has been cast].\"\nI remember seeing the news\nfootage from Montreal and trying\nto make sense of it: live footage of\na shocked community waiting outside of the school. A police team\nwho established a security perimeter around the building and, on\norders, waited for the SWAT team\nfor 20 minutes outside the school\nwhile the gunman was shooting\nhis victims inside. It was only after\nthe killer shot himself that the\npolice entered the building. No\none knew yet that all the targets\nwere women.\nPeople were saying that a\n\"madman\" was on the loose, but\nthis was much more than the work\nof one lone person. This was the\nwork of a myriad of societal influences that led this one man to believe that women deserved to die\nsolely because they were women.\n\"You're women. You're goingto\nbe engineers. You're all a bunch of\nfeminists. I hate feminists.\" It was\nan extreme example of the epidemic of violence against women.\nDec. 6 ignited my passion for\nfeminist activism. I could no\nlonger stay silent to the injustices\naround me. Queen's University,\nmy first alma mater, was soon\nhome to the infamous response of\nsome in a men's residence to a \"No\nMeans No\" date rape campaign.\n\"No means kick her in the teeth.\"\n\"No means more beer.\" \"No means\n'Down on your knees, bitch'...\" Was\nDec. 6,1989, an isolated incident of\nviolence against women on university campuses? I don't think so.\nInstead of eradicating feminism, the Montreal massacre\ngalvanized the movement to end\nviolence against women. People\nspoke up and named the attack\nfor what it was. In 1991, the\nCanadian parliament formally\nrecognized Dec. 6 as the \"National\nDay of Remembrance and Action\non Violence against Women.\"\nThese murders were also key in\nthe struggle for improvements to\ngun control legislation (including\nchanges to the long-gun registry,\nwhich, as of February 2012, have\nbeen abolished). There has also\nbeen the White Ribbon Campaign,\nand changes in police response\ntactics so that the first police\nofficers on the scene of a shooting\nnow enter a building as a group\nwhen gunshots are heard. People\nrealized violence against women is\nrooted in women's inequality and\nrecognized that, until we end that\ninequality, violence against women\nwill not stop.\nTwenty-three years later,\nhowever, not enough has changed.\nOne in four women will still experience gender-based violence in\ntheir lifetime. Aboriginal women,\nwomen with disabilities, transgender women, criminalized and\nimprisoned women, women living\nin poverty, women working in the\nsex trade and single women over\n65 are still disproportionately subjected to gender-based violence.\nOne has only to look within our\nown city to see that.\nStill we mourn. Still we work\nfor change.\nLong works for the UBC equity office.\nThere are several memorial events\nplanned for the women killed on Dec.\n6,1989.

I\nam completely in favour of people's\nright to protest against what they\nbelieve is wrong and voice their\nopinions; the problem was where\nthis group chose to voice these beliefs and opinions. The protest was\ntaking place directly outside of Hillel House, a Jewish and Israeli community centre for UBC students.\nThis angered me. It was the\nwrong way to protest, and it was\noffensive to Jewish students. By protesting outside of Hillel House they\nwere saying that being Jewish was\nakin to supporting the Israeli government's use of violence and force.\nThis is not true, and protesting\noutside a Jewish community centre\nfurther polarizes an issue that\nneeds both sides to come together in\nunderstanding.\nHillel House is based upon the\nvalues of inclusiveness and advancing social justice, and making\npeople who enter the building\nfeel like they are in support of\nviolence and oppression is bigotry.\nThe Israel-Palestine conflict is\ncomplicated and both sides are\ncurrently doing horrible things. If\nyou really want to invoke change,\nprotest in front of the people who\nare actually responsible; protest\nin front of the Israeli consulate or\nparliament to get the Canadian\ngovernment involved. There is,\nhowever, no reason to take that attitude of intolerance and hate onto\nUBC campus. Protest against what\nyou think is wrong but be mindful\nto respect others.\nMaxwell Gordon\nScience 2 Scene\nBACKGROUND\nThe bachelor of international\neconomics is a new plan by\nthe Vancouver School of\nEconomics and the Sauder\nSchool of Business to make\nan econ degree flashier,\nmore prestigious and, most\nimportantly, much more\nexpensive than a regular BA.\nBut students are worried\nthat $10,000 a year for\ndomestic students will only\nopen the school to a small\nsubset of students that can\nafford it.\nThis isthe proposed budget forthe program inz8lZ^2\nthe budget is approved, there will be a full four yea rsol_..\ndents in the degree bythen.This shows howthethe \"extra'\namount overandaboveUBC'sregulartuitioncostst would\nbe spent.
