She was immediately transported to Vancouver General Hospital where\nshe was set to receive treatment\nand consultation with what Janet Teasdale, acting UBC VP students, called some of the \"best\nmedical care available.\"\nAt a press conference Tuesday\nmorning, Teasdale said that the\nuniversity has been in direct\ncontact with Monzur.\n\"In the last ten days, Rumana\nmade it clear that she wanted to\nreturn to Canada and she was\ninterested in additional medical treatment and in finishing\nher degree,\" she said.\n\"The university stands fully prepared and ready and has\nmade some extraordinary efforts to support the return of Rumana and her family to Canada.\"\nTeasdale said that Monzur\nand her father have been reserved a space at St John's College in family housing and extended thanks to Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Canada for the work on Monzur's\nvisa, which is expected to last\nat least six months.\nMonzur had a draft of her thesis prepared before going to Bangladesh and was nearing the completion of her degree.

It was heartwrenching to\nsee her in the media so vulnerable and so exposed in terms of\nwhat she'd been through, so as\na friend that was extremely difficult to watch.\"\nUBC law student Sotonye Godwin-Hart, another of Monzur's\nfriends, described her emotions\nas she prepared to meet Monzur\nupon her arrival at YVR. \"I actually have mixed feelings. I'm\nvery excited but I'm also nervous and worried because she's\nmy very close friend. She's still\nthe same person but it's not the\nsame, so I really can't say..until\nI get to see her.\"\nFrom fund raising and over\n550 individual donations, UBC\nhas collected over $41,000 to\nsupport Monzur's family, and\nwould cover living expenses.\nHowever, they are calling for\nat least $70,000 in funds to support her family over the next\nsix months.\nBala-Miller said a petition is\ncirculating that asks that justice be served for Monzur's attacker. It has been signed by\nover 500 people and is directed\nat Canada's high commissioner\nfor Bangladesh. \"I want to commend them for speaking to the\nmedia and asking for exemplary punishment in this case.\" tl\nDonations for Monzur can be\nmadeafrumana.givecentre.com\nPerennially shaky, AMS Whistler lodge on thin ice\nPHOTO COURTESY OF MICHAEL KINGSMILL/FLICKR\nMICKI COWAN\nnews@ubyssey.ca\nThe AMS is seeking consultations to decide the fate of the\nAMS Whistler Lodge, a student\nservice that AMS executives\nhave said is draining money\nfrom the student society.\nThe troubles began after a\nlarge amount of lodging options\nbecame available following the\n2010 Olympics. A leaky roof that\ncould cost tens of thousands of\ndollars to repair and a lowered\nnumber of bookings, attributed to the recession, led to a review ofthe financial feasibility\nof maintaining the AMS Whistler Lodge.\nThe lodge, a popular option\nfor students heading up to hit\nthe slopes, lost nearly $30,000\nlastyear.\nAMS VP Finance Elin Tayyar\nsaid that the real loss from the\nlodge maybe even greater, considering the projected gain was\n$56,000, resulting in $85,000\nless earnings than expected.\n\"If we didn't have the Whistler Lodge, that [deficit] problem would have been gone,\"\nsaid Tayyar\nFrom 2005-2010, the Whistler\nLodge brought $375,000 in revenue, but expenses during that\nperiod reached $500,000.\nDespite the losses, the AMS\nsays it recognizes that the lodge\nis a service to students. \"It's a\nbig part of the AMS, a massive\nasset of ours. And it's an important one,\" said Tayyar.\nCharlottSandorJohansen, former president of the UBC Ski\nand Board Club, says her club\nrelies heavily on the spaces that\nare specially reserved for UBC\nstudents.\n\"As a club, we do use the UBC\nWhistler Lodge a lot. When we\nhave sign-ups for the lodge for\nChristmas and reading break\nwe generally have a line-up out\nof the door. The AMS lodge is\npretty integral in our lodging\noptions for our members.\"\nSandor Johansen did say that\nsome improvements could be\nmade, including general renovations and lowering the age\nlimit to 18, which would allow\nfirst-year students to take advantage ofthe facilities.\nVP Administration Mike Silley, the AMS executive member\nin charge ofthe lodge, said that\nAMS Council had approved consultations on whether to keep\nthe lodge\n\"What we passed in council\nwas $40,000 to hire consultants\nto look into what our options\nare\u00E2\u0080\u0094whether it be build a new\nlodge, restructure the business\nmodel, whether it be to move,\nshut it down or sell the lodge\nall together,\" said Silley\n\"There are quite a few students on campus that we felt\nneeded the service, so we didn't\nwant to arbitrarily cut it.\n\"That was a precursor to our\ndecision to...hire consultants to\ngive us a better picture of what's\nhappening.\"\nTayyar was certain that\nchange would come out of the\nconsultations. \"We're starting\na big process of reviewing the\nlodge: the past, the current market and what we want for the future. What I can say is we won't\nbe looking at continuing in this\ntrend.\"\nRegardless of the decision\nthat is made, students can expect to find out the results of\nthese consultations\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the\nfate ofthe lodge\u00E2\u0080\u0094come September 2011. tJ 4/UBYSSEY.CA/FEATURE/2011.06.21\nC/)\nI\nGO\nC/)\n<\noooooooooooo\no o o o\nooooo\niifffffffffimffiffffffi\nDavid Johnston, Waterloo $1,041,881\nMahdouh Shoukri,York $480,030\nIndira Samarasekera, Alberta $479,000\nAlastair Summerlee, Guelph $440,590\nStephen Toope, UBC $483,418\nDavidTurpin,Victoria $417,075\nMichael Stevenson, SFU $398,876\nDavid Naylor,Toronto $380,100\nDavid Atkinson, Kwantlen, $235,274\nooooooooooooooooooooooooo\niiimiinnmniinmi\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nRoger Barnsley,Thompson Rivers $240,662\nGreg Lee, Capilano $190,105\nMark Evered, FraserValley $160,719\nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO\nfi nil1 fin ii\noooooo oooooo ooo oooo\nii mnnii th ii\noooooo oooooo ooo oooo\nlllllllllllllllllllllllll\nGavin Stuart, Medicine $431,451\nDaniel Muzyka, Sauder $413,010\nMary Anne Bobinski, Law $283,784\nCharles F.

One, are women being systematically paid less than men\nfor doing comparable work? Research reports point to some systemic discriminating. But the\nother issue is, are women being promoted at the same rate\nto senior administration that\nmen are?\"\nA 2009 Statistics Canada report on salaries across all Canadian universities showed\nthat the average male professor earned $123,702, compared\nto $107,143 for females.\nThe Faculty Association also\nreleased two reports in conjunction with the Provost Office on\nthe subject.\nLangton stressed that general awareness among senior administrators would be a key step\nto combating gender equity, but\nalso noted that when tenured\nprofessors originally set their\nsalaries with UBC, men tend to\nnegotiate a higher salary rate.\n\"I think we need more awareness of how salaries get set at the\nbeginning. There is research\nevidence that women don't negotiate salaries as well as men\ndo.

Because of the length\nof time it takes for various public bodies to release their information, the salaries listed were\nfrom the 2009/2010year\u00E2\u0080\u0094where\n3504 people were paid more\nthan $75,000 by UBC.\nNaturally, the raw numbers\nprovoke interest. How much\ndoes my favourite professor\nmake? Which dean makes the\nmost? What sort of gap is there\nbetween males and females?\nWe've charted out some of that\ninformation here.\nAt the same time, the basic\ndata can paint a confusing picture. Severance and administrative leave packages can skew\nnumbers and faculty often have\nsecondary sources of income\nwhich aren't publicly released.\nHow much a professor makes\nhas as much to do with their negotiating skills as it does their\ntalent. And of course, the figures are out of date by as much\nas two years.\nStill, the information is revealing. We've spoken with\nmembers of the UBC Faculty\nAssociation\u00E2\u0080\u0094the body that represents all UBC faculty\u00E2\u0080\u0094to get\na better sense of what the numbers mean.\nHOW PROFS GET PAID\n1 Each year, UBC sets the budget that each faculty can spend on\nprofessor salaries. This budget is jointly negotiated between the\nVP Finance, Provost and respective Dean's offices.\n2 When a new professor is hired or receives tenure, the faculty\nand professor jointly negotiate their starting salary. What an average starting salary is varies greatly across departments. \"Different faculties have different salaries, so a finance professor is paid\nconsiderably more than an English professor and that has to do\nwith market pressures,\" explained Langton.\n3 Once in a tenure position, there are no automatic raises\u00E2\u0080\u0094at\nleast in the current two-year agreement which expires in 2012. Instead, increases happen as a result of \"Career Progress Increments\"\nand adjustments made based on merit (a one-year measurement of\nresearch, teaching and service accomplishments) and performance\nsalary adjustment (a three-year measurement).\n4 While full-time tenured faculty cannot hold another job with\na different institution, there are alternative ways for professors to\nearn extra income, including being named a research chair, publishing a book or giving \"executive education\" lectures to middle and\nsenior management at various institutions. However, much of this\nincome may be paid to a separate business set up by the professor,\nand thus would not be included in the Vancouver Suns calculations.\nTHE TOP 1000 PAID PEOPLE AT UBC IN\n2009/2010, BROKEN DOWN BY DEPARTMENT\n?MEDICINE-256\nIT\nf\nft\no\nf\nII\no\nIT\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0I\nf\nWfWffWfWWWfWWffW\nooooooooooooooooooooooooo\nlllllllllllllllllllllllll \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\nHill ft\nrtiirrppprtiniinnniii!\nIII!\nSCIENCE 178\nARTS-113\nUBC 110\nSAUDER-97\nAPPLIED SCIENCE-66\nEDUCATION-36\nLAW-27\nSCHOOL OF HUMAN POPULATION AND PUBLIC\nHEALTH-16\nPHARMACY-16\nCOLLEGE OF INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES 16\nF0RESTRY-14\nDENTISTRY-12\nLAND AND FOOD SYSTEMS-12\nSCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE-4\nHUMAN KINETICS-7\nNURSING-7\nSCHOOL OF COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING-4\nENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH-2\nUBC LIBRARY DEPARTMENT-2\nCOLLEGE OF HEALTH DISCIPLINES 1\nSESSIONALS GET SHORT END OF SALARY STICK\nBecause of the flexibility and\nlower salary inherent in sessional rather than tenured positions, many cash-strapped faculties have opted to use more sessionals over the last decade and\nUBC is no exception.\n\"It's a problem,\" admits Langton. \"Salaries for sessionals are\nconsiderably lower than those\nfor tenure-stream faculty..sessionals are paid less at UBC, on\naverage, than they are at some\ncolleges.\" The faculty association\npushed for changes to their\nagreement, but were rebuffed\nin the most recent round of collective bargaining lastyear.\nFaculties are required to pay\nsessionals a minimum salary\nthat is on a sliding scale, based\non credits taught per-term and\nan eight step scale that every lecturer is placed on which reflects\nseniority and other factors.\nNewly hired sessionals are automatically paid the rate of the\nlowest step when they begin.\nYou can find the exact calculations online, but a professor at\nthe first step, teaching 9 credits\nevery semester, makes $53,730\nin ayear.\nIn 2009/2010, the highest paid sessional lecturers at\nUBC were Chuck Campbell in\nthe Sauder School of Business\n($164,941), followed by Economics Professor Robert Gateman\n($139,494).\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Justin McElroy 6/U BYSSEY.

Su-\nperweek cycling series. The race\nwill be broken down into four different categories: men, women,\nkids and corporate teams. Participants will race on a 1.35 kilometre, four-cornered circuit\nthat begins and ends at University Boulevard, near the parking\nlot ofthe bookstore.\nThe Grand Prix is a criterium\nrace. In cycling jargon, this means\nthat competitors will race continuously for a set amount of time on\na short closed-circuit course. The\nfirst person to finish is the winner. Though there is a single winner, the race is far from an individual event.\nDr Jack Taunton, the co-founder ofthe Vancouver Sun Run and\nthe leader behind bringing the\nGrand Prix to UBC, explained that\nin a criterium race, teamwork is\na necessity for victory,\n\"Ifyou are in there as an individual rider, rather than with a\nteam around you, it's very difficult to win,\" he said. \"Ifyou were\nto go off on your own then I would\nsend one of my teammates up\nto slow you down, while I would\nCyclists rounding the corner in the Tour de Delta. PHOTO COURTESY OFTURBULENTFLOW/FLICKR\nnot be working and saving energy for a sprint.\"\nWhen the race has finished,\nteammates split whatever prizes the members have won.\nRace director Mark Ernsting\nsaid that the course is technical\nand challenging.\n\"The left hand turn at corner\nnumber four, going into the finish line, will be about a 60-kilometre an hour corner,\" he said,\nreferring to the left turn on to\nUniversity Boulevard from East\nMall. \"That is definitely going to\nbe a corner that causes some accidents,\" he added.\nThe Superweek cycling series\ninclude three other events around\nthe Lower Mainland. From July\n8-10 there will be the Tour de Delta, a three part race. On July 14,\nthere will be the Giro di Burnaby\nand from July 15-17 White Rock\nwill host the Tour de White Rock,\nanother three-part race.\nWith its deadly corner number\nfour, UBC's Grand 3?rix may end up\nbeing the most technically challenging ofthe four competitions, but the\nrisk shouldbe well-worth the reward.\nBetween the male and female events\nthere is more than $10,000 in prize\nmoney.\nIn order to maintain a level of\ncompetition between the large number of contestants in the criterium\nrace\u00E2\u0080\u0094the men's will have between\n90 to 100 riders\u00E2\u0080\u0094there are prizes\ncalled primes. Primes are small\npurses and at the Grand Prix they\nmay range from $250 to $1,000.\nThey are awarded to riders who\nwin certain laps within the race.\nTaunton explained that if three\nriders had broken away from the\nmain group, over the next few laps\na small prime would be awarded\nto the rider that closed the gap between the group and the riders in\nthe lead.\nPrimes keep the pace of competition at a high speed and let multiple riders or teams win money.\nThey prevent one rider from conserving energy for the entire race\nbefore making a breakaway sprint\nnear the end.\nOne team to keep an eye on atthe\nGrand Prix will be Canada's newly\ncreated men's national team, Spi-\nderTech. The team has notyet finalized its roster, but they have been\na force in multiple competitions in\nthe European pro race circuit, including a second-place finish this\nyear by team member Will Rout-\nley at Tro Bro Leon, a one-day road\nrace in Brittany, France.\nThe UBC Grand 3?rix will begin\nat 4:30 pm with the corporate challenge race.\nThe lad's race will be at 5:30 pm,\nthe women's pro race will be at 6:30\npm and the men's pro race will begin at 7:45 pm.

WRITE US A LETTER\u00C2\u00BBfeedback@ubyssey.ca\nEDITORIAL\nRIOT DEMONSTRATES NEED FOR METRO POLICING\nVancouver and Victoria are in many ways outliers among Canadian cities. Residents of both cities are more likely to own rain boots than snow\ngear and in both you're more likely to hear a few\nlines of Cantonese than any 'bonjours' or 'mercis.'\nBut Vancouver and Victoria are different in another way as well; they're the only major Canadian\ncities that don't have metropolitan police forces.\nUnlike the Toronto Police Service (TPS) or the\nawkwardly-named Service de la Police de la Ville\nde Montreal (SPVM), the VPD and VICPD only have\nauthority in their city proper. The problems associated with the limited reach were never as clear\nas during last month's hockey riot.\nThe relief units from the suburbs arrived in\nan hour-and-a-half, just enough time for some\npost-game hooliganism to turn into a full-blown\nriot. It demonstrated a lack of coherent planning\namongst the various departments and the inability to respond to large-scale problems of policing.\nNPA mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton called\nthe riot \"a very good argument in favour of a regional police force.\" We agree.\nThe principle of a metro force is already working in Vancouver. The Integrated Gang Task Force\nwas set up to respond to a rash of gang shootings\nin 2007. It's been an immense improvement over\nthe fragmented approaches of earlier years to a\nproblem that crosses municipal boundaries.\nApplying the same principle across all facets\nof policing in Metro Vancouver could reduce redundancies and maybe even renew confidence\nin policing that has taken some blows recently.\nSee: Surrey Six.\nPolice work doesn't follow the same neat borders that the cities and municipalities in Metro\nVancouver do. It's time Vancouver followed the\nrest of Canada's lead, tl\nPUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS\nLast month's release of public-sector salaries over\n$75,000 in British Columbia confirmed what any\nArts student enjoying the Buchanan renovations,\nwhile seeing $100 million buildings spring up\neverywhere else, already knows: at UBC, all students are equal, but some get nicer buildings and\nbetter-paid professors.\nOf the 1000 highest-paid employees at UBC in\n2009/2010, over 80% were from two faculties-\nCommerce and Medicine\u00E2\u0080\u0094which host less than\n10% ofthe student population. That's to be expected for many reasons, including that these professors need to be compensated at a higher rate because they might find more lucrative options at\nother institutions.\nHowever, areas in which UBC is less competitive globally (namely, undergraduate teaching and\nthe student experience) aren't seen as priorities, at\nleast ifyou look at the compensation breakdown,\nor the number of highly-compensated teaching-focused professors. The university will say they do\ncare about these issues, but this is only partly true.\nUBC has the money to go above and beyond pay\nrubrics if they felt these areas were a real priority.\nHeck, they've done it in the past. In 2007, when\nPresident Toope expressed concern with survey\nresults showing low satisfaction with teacher engagement in the sciences, they hired Nobel laureate Carl Wieman to overhaul teaching methods in\ncertain departments, giving him millions worth of\nresearch money and a hefty salary to boot. While\nthe results aren't revolutionary, teaching methods\nand student engagement have improved over the\nlast four years and not just because of iClickers.\nBut in the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Science,\nin housing and food services, in student development, you can count on three hands the number\nof people UBC pays $200,000 ayear to (seriously,\nit's a grand total of 13). These are the segments of\nthe university that more students directly participate in than any other, but while UBC can't go out\nand hire a renowned expert in these fields, millions can be spent on professors in Commerce and\nMedicine and in research facilities for much more.\nIn a university striving to become internationally lauded, this is perhaps inevitable\u00E2\u0080\u0094that's where\nthe money, donors, and international rankings\nrespond to. For those of not part of that minority, it's a stark reminder where UBC's highest priorities ultimately lie. tl\n\u00C2\u00AB j Summer, homes\nFOR OBC PROFESSORS\n/\"\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n:m\nQJ*< &*\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094St\nV1**\nW*\nENGINEERING\ntif*\n/icrs\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 M\u00C2\u00ABMr\ny*g\u00C2\u00A3:\n_M\nVIRGINIE MENARD GRAPHIC/THE UBYSSEY\nOPINIONS\nUBC making the ranks, but at what cost?\nARSHY MANN\nwebeditor@ubyssey.ca\nEveryone likes a good ranking list.\nBaseball fanatics spend hours debating whether Roger Clemens' fastball\nhad more fire than Nolan Ryan's. Music aficionados similarly pick and preen\nover the 19th best Lou Reed track. In\nmore serious arenas, economists and\npolicymakers compare the GDP, GNP\nor HDI of developing countries, watching with great interest as they rise and\nfall relative to one another. In this way,\nthe world of academia is no different.\nBut university rankings are a relatively new phenomenon. Although the\nMacleans University Rankings have\nbeen around since 1990, it was only\nin the early 2000s that rankings went\nworldwide and mainstream.\nSince then, they've become an omnipresent (and some might say omnipotent) reality of post-secondary\neducation.\nStudents vex over them when deciding which university to attend and politicians point to them as either a source\nof pride or a reason to prod a university to improve. Most dangerously, universities have begun to adjust their behaviour to receive better scores.\nConventional wisdom is that these\nrankings emphasize excellence in research above other aspects such as teaching or benefiting the local community\nand a new report by the European University Association confirms that the conventional wisdom is as much for a reason,\n\"Global university rankings reflect\nuniversity research performance far\nmore accurately than teaching,\" the report declared.\nNot only is research mostheavily measured, but certain types of research, especially medicine and natural sciences, are\nheldhead-and-shoulders above the rest.\nFields where most findings are published in peer-review journals, as opposed to books, get much more weight\nin these rankings. That means that disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and some applied sciences get\nshort shrift\u00E2\u0080\u0094which should come as\nno surprise to an Arts student at UBC.\nThe fact that the rankings are flawed\nis no big news, but a problem arises\nwhen both the public and universities\nstart viewing them as definitive reflections on institution-wide performance.\nThese rankings create incentives\nfor universities to improve very specific metrics instead of actually improving quality and, in some cases, it\nalso pushes them to actually manipulate statistics and lie. Don't think this\nhappens? Well, in 2004 the National\nPost obtained internal memos from\nUBC administrators that showed they\n\"pressured faculty members to manipulate enrollment and in some cases capped class sizes\" in order to improve UBC's rankings in Maclean's annual supplement.\nFans of The Wire will know this better as 'juking the stats.'\nRankings are insidious in other ways\nas well. Employers start to look at them\nto see how well-educated a student is\n(which it doesn't measure). A humanities student from SFU who may have\na better education than a UBC student\nmaybe less likely to get a job because,\nessentially, UBC has a higher ranking\ndue to its medical research program.\nThat seems truly perverse.\nUniversities are multi-faceted institutions with a variety of missions, research being just one of them. We need\nto find better ways of explaining that.\nIn an ideal world, there would be prestigious ranking systems that accurately measured teaching or ways that universities promote social mobility. Instead, we're stuck with one where research appears to trump all. tl\nOxford Commas: Smart, sensible, and sadly dying\nBRIAN PLATT\nfeatures@ubyssey.ca\nIn general, humanity can be trusted to\nmake simple things much more complicated than necessary. A straightforward rule or principle will inevitably\nbecome bogged down in countless caveats and exceptions. But that doesn't\nmean we shouldn't try to fight against\nit. The stronger among us must stand\nfor clarity and steadfastness.\nThe issue of whether a comma\nshould be placed before the final item\nin a list exemplifies this battle.\nHilariously, those who advocate\nelimination ofthe serial comma claim\nthey are standing up for simplicity.\n\"Get rid of excessive punctuation!\"\nthey cry out, unaware that they are\ncomplicating our list-making grammar. Unfortunately, the anti-comma\nfaction was given an unwarranted\nboost in confidence last week.\nThe serial comma is often referred\nto as the Oxford comma (though the\nreason is unclear to me because almost all universities call for it to be\nused). On Wednesday, it emerged that\na new Oxford style guide advised readers to, \"as a general rule,\" avoid the\nserial comma. Much rejoicing ensued\namong my enemies. Later it emerged\nthat this was only a branding guide for\nthe university; the Oxford University\nPress has officially stated that it still\ncalls for the serial comma to be used.\nThat this has been largely missed by\nthe comma eliminationists is not surprising, as they are a reliably lazy lot.\nThe only reason why this fight continues is that the print media has\ndeclared a vendetta against the serial comma. Self-aggrandizing copy\neditors feel that the comma slows\ndown the reader, which apparently overrules constructing sentences\nthat are grammatically logical. The\nUbyssey follows the Canadian Press\nstyle guide, which means that my\notherwise pristine, smooth, and poetic prose in these pages is mutilated by a nonsensical rule imposed by\nsmarmy anti-commites.\nWhen we say a list of three or more\nitems outloud, we put a pause between\nthe items to avoid sounding like a mental case. Think ofthe phrase \"a government of, by, and for the people.\" Try\nsaying that without the pause after\n\"by.\" It's pretty obvious which one is\nthe correct form, no? But that doesn't\nmatter to the copy editors. Can you\nthink of any other case in which we\nremove the punctuation, and instruct\nreaders to pretend it's still there when\nthey read it out loud?\nIt will never make sense to me why\nany editor thinks that the \"and\" between the last two items serves as\na replacement to the comma, rather than the independent function of\nsimply indicating the end of the list.\nDon't bother arguing about it, though;\nthey'll just spew out a stream of irrelevant comments and schoolyard insults until you give up waiting for an\nactual argument.\nSo, for now, those of us writing for\nnewspapers have to submit to this\nweird exception to the otherwise\nstraightforward grammar of lists.\nBut the stronger among us must fight\non. Common sense must prevail. 8/UBYSSEY.CA/OURCAMPUS/2011.06.21\nr.\nEMORIAL J\nYM\nUBC\nWFF.\n^Wf VIOLATIONS^\nKALYEENA MAKORTOFF\nnews@ubyssey.ca\nAh, the joys of parking at UBC.\nIf you're not one of the lucky\npeople commuting or walking\nto campus, you must be all too\naware of the dread that a parking ticket brings.
