MARCH 9. 1999\nInitiations over,\nsay swimmers\n3n\u00C2\u00A7r the IHOTw^f''\n:$*M,ftWV^ft\? 9'f4\nby Douglas Quan\nUBC's number one-ranked varsity men's\nswim team has vowed to put a stop to all\nrookie initiation activities after a team\nmember complained that the practical\njoking had gone too far.\nWhile UBC Athletics discourages any\ntype of initiation activities, department\nofficials quietly acknowledge that they do\nexist\u00E2\u0080\u0094not just within the swim team, but\nprobably within every varsity team.\nThe decision by the T-Birds\u00E2\u0080\u0094who won\ntheir second consecutive CIAU national\nchampionships last month\u00E2\u0080\u0094brings to an\nend a tradition that has gone on for years.\nAbout a month ago, head swim coach\nTom Johnson called for a team meeting to\ndiscuss the matter after a rookie had\nrelayed to him an ujisettling piece of news\nthe veterans had told the rookies.\nThe rookie, who asked to remain\nanonymous, told the Ubyssey that just\nbefore the Canada West championships in\nCalgary last January, veteran swimmers\ngathered the rookies to tell them that they\nhad ejaculated into a spaghetti dinner\neaten by the freshmen during their 'rookie\nday\" last fall.\n\" [The vets said], 'Do any of you remember the pot where the spaghetti dinner was\nmade was in the bathroom?' When I found\nout, I was like 'Oh my god, that's pretty disgusting'. . .That really flipped me out.\n\"It had an effect on my social environment I went quiet I was kind of mad. And\nI couldn't say anything.\"\nBut veteran swimmers insisted last\nweek that the incident never actually happened, and that it was nothing more than a\nverbal joke. They added that as soon as\nthey heard from the coach that there had\nbeen a complaint they went straight to the\nrookies to tell them it was just a joke.\n\"It was a practical joke we didn't think\nthrough,\" said team captain Greg Hamm.\nAt the hour-long team meeting, the veterans apologised to the rookies. It was also\nthen that the whole team agreed that all its\ninitiation rituals, including its unofficial\n'rookie day,' would be abolished.\nWhile no current or former members of\nthe team contacted by he Ubyssey last week\nwould say exactly what goes on during\n'rookie day,' they acknowledged that \"it\nwas a day of drinking and running\naround,\" and a day \"to let the rookies know\nthat they're rookies\u00E2\u0080\u0094a weird shaming.\"\nBut they also insisted that the events\nwere \"always controlled...by no means\nhazing,\" and \"[a way] to get the team\ntogether.\"\nFor Coach Johnson though, one complaint was one too many. \"I think the\nopportunity presented itself for me to be\nable to say, 'Guys, as much as you think you\nare getting this, you still don't really get this.\nThis is not right'\" Team members agreed.\nWhile some lamented the loss of a longstanding tradition within the club, they\nalso acknowledged that activities that\nsome consider to be fun may be deemed\noffensive by others.\n\"Going into it, I was kind of bitter about\ngiving up something that was a good tradition. But the more I reasoned with it... [the\nmore I realised] humiliation was not one of\nthe tools we needed [to build a strong\nteam],\" said current team member Jeremy\nJaud.\nSaid teammate Mark Versfeld: \"I felt\nresponsible for not respecting that other\npeople might be showing up at university\nwith wide eyes, and might not have been\nexposed to a lot of things in the past So\nthings can be a litde overwhelming [for\nthem].\"\nFormer swim team members also welcomed news of the team's new stand on\nrookie initiations. \"It's counterproductive,\"\nsaid Steve Meredith (97-98). \"Image is very\nimportant to the swim team.\"\nMartin Zaleski (94-97) said, \"What was\nappropriate a couple of years ago.. .isn't as\nappropriate now, now that everyone has\nthe potential to be on the national team.\"\nsee \"hazing\" on page 2\nAMS elections over and done\u00E2\u0080\u0094honestly\nby Nicholas Bradley\nThis year's AMS elections are finally over,\nbut changes to next year's election process\nare already being considered.\nMark Beese will join the previously elected Jesse Guscott as the other student representative on the UBC Board of Governors\n(BoG), according to unofficial results\nreleased by the AMS Elections Committee.\nBeese said he didn't want to make a comment until the results are approved by the\nUBC Senate Elections Committee (SEC).\nThe SEC overturned all of the original\nBoG election results\u00E2\u0080\u0094except for Guscott's\nfirst place finish\u00E2\u0080\u0094stating that \"some of the\nresults were materially affected by the\nadvertisements given to [candidate] Ben\nLiu\" in the Ubyssey. (Liu was allowed to\nhave an ad in the student paper during voting week after his name was left out of the\nElection Supplement.) The remaining candidates were allowed to run again.\nAMS Elections Administrator Chris\nGawronski said he is satisfied that this election was run properly and that there have\nbeen no complaints made. He did acknowledge that voter turnout was low, but he said\nthis was anticipated especially since the\nelections were held over only two days\ninstead of the usual five. Just over 600 votes\nwere cast, with Beese earning 299.\n\"We didn't really know what exactly to\nexpect,\" said Gawronski. \"We had hoped\nthat we would have at least half of the\nturnout [of the first BoG vote]. So it looks\nlike we just made that.\"\nHe noted that confusion over why a second vote was being held and campaigning\nfor other elections on campus may have\ndistracted voters.\n\"We did it on a week where there were\nno other elections going on because we\nwanted to make sure that people understood this was a distinct election, that none\nof the candidates would be favoured as a\nsee \"hacks\" on page 2 '->-:\n\u00C2\u00BB ,\u00C2\u00ABr\nMMB/E MARCH q 1W)\nliaii\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0&\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nmttHMftfi.\nCLASSIFIEDS\naiM\ngk^m\nTRAVEL - TEACH ENGUSH: 5 Day/40\nHour (March 10-14) TESOL teacher certification course (or by correspondence). 1000s of\njobs available NOW.

Now, The Ubyssey takes you there.\nby Jo-Ann Chiu\nIt was a dark and drizzly night during the\nlast weekend of January, when four\nwomen armed with flashlights and\ndressed for the rainy weather wandered into\nthe civil & mechanical engineering building\naround nine or 10 o'clock They were looking\nfor a UBC engineer\u00E2\u0080\u0094any engineer.\nThey accosted the first gentleman wearing\nan engineer's signature red jacket. He turned\nout to be the president of the Engineering\nUndergraduate Society (EUS), Don Nash.\n\"They wanted to find out how to get into\nthe steam tunnels,\" says Nash, who was with\nseveral other fellow Applied Sciences students at the time.\nNash doesn't know why the women chose\nto ask them, but admits he doesn't know if the\nwomen really were looking for a student engineer in the first place.\nPresumably, the geers have brought the\npredicament onto themselves. As part of the\ntwo original faculties established when the\nUniversity of British Columbia opened in\n1915, the student engineers flaunt a long history of exuberance and ingenuity, and are\nproud of it.\nThey are distinguished as the\nonly students on campus who can\nconceptualise and execute the!\nvisionary ideas required to sjf&al\ngiant $16,000 inflatable elephants;\nfrom rock star Bryan Adams arid\nplace them on top of the Molptm.\nBrewery on Burrard, reprogr$Bl~\nming its digital clock to print \"HEX]\nBRYAN ADAMS, AREYOU MSSJjjl\nSOMETHING?...THE UBC ENBG&\nNEERS DO IT AGAIN. WELCOME\nTO E-WEEK 1999,\" as they did for\nthis year's jubilant celebration of tigg.\nfaculty's annual Engineering We^ki\nLittle wonder, then, that when\nthe women were looking for Jfee\nmysterious tunnels rumoured to be\nbeneath campus, they went straight\nto the society which excels at theait|\nof mischief and decoding abstractions. The women found the tight\npeople, but were stopped by a hard\nfact: Men In Red don't share their\nsecrets. At least, not to outsiders*\nFor years, it has been open\nknowledge among hard-patty*\ning UBC students, particularly\nthose who live on campus in fraternity\nhouses or residences, that the underground tunnels do exist But the scope of\ntheir factual knowledge varies among each\nindividual.\n\"Ifs kind of weird and eerie,\" says \"Andrew\"\n(he didn't want to use his real name), a civil\nengineering student who learned about the\ntunnels by word-of-mouth. Engineers are not\nthe only people who roam the pipes. Andrew\nhas been in the tunnels twice, on a tour with\nfraternity friends. He has never gone all the\nway to the end. Wandering the steam tunnels, Andrew explains, is something to do\nafter the Pit Pub closes.\nThere are students who have mastered\nthe tunnel routes so well that they conduct tours of the steam tunnels.\n\"Yo\" is one of the original tour guides,\nthe man who set the standard by which others measure themselves. That's because Yo\nknows.\nYears ago, Yo had been shopping in the\nSurplus Equipment Recycling Facility (SERF)\non campus, which sells off excess faculty\nequipment at low prices. Yo spotted a plywood backboard that was for sale. What\ncaught his attention about the backboard,\nhowever, was that attached to it were about\n15 different blueprints for all kinds of university operations, such as for hot and cold water\nplumbing and electrical wiring. But Yo was\nmost intrigued by the blueprint documenting\nthe steam tunnels.\nNot knowing the reason for Yo's interest,\nthe SERF salesclerk offered to discard the\nblueprints in the recycling bin. Yo paid $10\nfor the board, but declined the clerk's offer to\ndispose the papers.\nYo doesn't remember what has become of\nhis tunnel blueprints, but he says the steam\ntunnels did go all the way to Totem Park\nResidence. Those walkways have now been\nblocked, he adds.\nHe doesn't know when the practise of\nwandering the steam tunnels began, but estimates that it has been going on for as long as\nthe passages themselves have existed.\n\"What's neat about the tunnels,\" says Yo,\n\"is you enter from one end of the campus,\nand you come out another. That's the cool\nthing.\"\nX\jCh\nI ed\", a chemical engineering student, is\ngetting a breath of fresh air outside the\n\"heeze Factory, the engineers' cheerful\ncrimson hangout.\nShe has words of advice for students\nAn employee of UBC Utilities warns that\nthis is not a tunnel at all, but a spiral drain\nwith a 200-foot vertical drop straight into\nthe ground, and is unsafe for any kind of\n'exploring.'\nThen there are the military tunnels underneath the Museum of Anthropology, originally built to protect Point Grey against possible\nJapanese invasion during the Second World\nWar. Construction of these tunnels began in\n1940 and was finished one year later, estimates UBC history professor Dr Peter Moogk,\nwho served on the army reserves for 17 years\nbefore leaving in 1993.\n\"This campus emerged from military\nreserves established in the 1860s,\" he says.\n\"And it was used for both World Wars.\"\nThe military tunnels were used to deliver\nammunition to three guns lined along the\nfront at Point Grey Fort, according to Moogk.\nRooms which have since been welded shut\nwere built inside the tunnels to house shells\nand ammunition, and a radio and communications chamber. ,\nAs for the steam tunnels, however, Moogk\nsays they served no military purpose. So\nmuch for the theories of \"experiments\" and\ncarcasses or pus-spewing genetic mutations?\nCould this be the end?\nI had to make sure my potential last words\nwere secured with a messenger. I turn to my\ntunneling companion, Fed, and tell him that\nif anything happens, he must make sure to\ntake care of my football books.\nThe bottom of the hole is pitch black, true\nto gossip. To the left is a tunnel in darkness.\nOn the right, there is a lit, concrete tunnel. We\nhead for the tunnel with the light. It leads to a\nwide, concrete passage, as spacious and well-\nlit as if it were day, and high enough to walk\nthrough comfortably.\nIt is warm and muggy in the concrete tunnel, like being at an indoor pool. Also true to\ntestimony is graffiti on the walls and the large\npipes lining the sides,.including lettering in\nposh gold metallic paint and outlined in jet\nblack Shaft confirms that the graffiti is not\nthe work of UBC engineers. \"We only\nexplore,\" he states.\nThe lit walkway eventually leads to a dead\nend. Shaft suggests trying the opposite direction, to the black tunnel.\nWe plod through the black tunnel, illuminated[onlyby Jhe flashbulb light of a little\nquick-snap camera. No one\nBENEATH h.K. brought a flashlight\n1HESUR- because the main tunnels\n\u00E2\u0084\u00A2T' are supposed to have light\nunder- switches, and no one\nground tun-expected that me tour\nnels cnss- ^^ wouid forget how to\n0035 *\"6 access them because he\nUBC cam- wasn't intoxicated enough.\npus-some, The black tunnels are\nhowever, shorter in height and can\ndon't have only be travelled by squat-\nquite this ting as you walk through.\nmuch illu- They are also clearly older\nmination. and lined with cobwebs\nJO-ANN ouu that graze your face as you\npreparing to travel the tunnels. \"Tie your hair\nback,\" she says. \"Don't carry ID, and wear a t-\nshirt That's what I was taught\"\nRed also recommends wearing a jacket\nover a t-shirt. The jacket is for walking to the\ntunnels. \"But know that at one point, you will\nbe carrying your jacket once in the tunnels.\"\nSome hypothesise that the tunnels might\nunderlie the entire campus, but many passages have been sealed off. What is known for\nsure, however, is that the tunnels do run\nbeneath the bookstore and the bus loop.\nRed says that if you're at the right manhole\nat the right time, you can look up and see the\nbus drive right over.\nExtraordinary images fuel the legend of\nthe tunnels, mostly through rumours\nand innuendo. There are tales of mysterious extra rooms lined in tile and additional\ntunnels not used for steam, but which are\nnow alleged to be bricked off. Perhaps they\nhad something to do with the World Wars, so\nthe stories go.\nA spiral 'tunnel' is mentioned in the book,\nSecrets of the City, published by Vancouver\nmagazine. The book states that the tunnel,\nbuilt in 1936 by the Vancouver and Districts\nJoint Sewerage & Drainage Board, was meant\nto drain water from the cliff sides.\n\"surgery\" possibly being conducted in the\nsupposed extra rooms.\nS!\nI haft\" a bio-resources engineering stu-\nk dent, has agreed to give me a tour. There\n'is just one problem.\nShaft can't remember which door is the\none to get into the steam tunnels. Prowling\naimlessly inside a building, unsuccessfully\ntrying door after door, the potential tour\nwould seem a bust.\nThere are different ways of getting into the\ntunnels, either from outside on the ground,\nor from inside buildings. The passages not\nonly extend beneath the campus, but they\nactually connect to the inside of buildings.\nShaft had intended to begin his tour from\ninside, but his memory fails him.\n\"This is the first time I've done a tour\nsober,\" he claims, frowning at a cord wired\ninto the top comer of one door. \"That one's\ngot an alarm,\" he surmises, and passes it over\nto look at the next door.\nSobriety foils the tour kick-off. Shaft\nagrees to try entering from a manhole outside. It works.\nClimbing into a hole in the ground on\nmetallic rungs feels like submerging yourself\ninto the dirt-pressed stomach of a ghasdy\nmonster. What would be down there? Rotting\nwaddle along. At the end of the passage is a\nwatering hole loaded with empty spray paint\ncans and beer bottles.\nWe are wading through a second tunnel in\nthe black maze when the light from the flashbulb gives out Shaft terminates the tour and\nredirects everyone back. He suspects that\ncontinuing forward will eventually link to the\nmain tunnels, but there's no point in pursuing\nthem without light\nClimbing out of the manhole and back\ninto the icy cold darkness of the night\nis a relief after wallowing through the\nsteam tunnel sauna.\n\"What's neat is that it's a tradition that's\npassed on from generation to generation,\"\nsaid Shaft earlier.\nMystery of hanging Volkswagens off\nbridges, solved. Secret of the campus tunnels,\nunveiled.\nUBC engineers pride themselves on their\ncuriosity and reverence for public safety,\ndespite the antics of their practical jokes.\nBut how many more secrets lurk in the tunnels of the geers' own minds? That is perhaps the greatest intrigue of all. As for the\nsteam tunnels, the tour wasn't finished, but\nenough was seen. We got the idea. Got the\nphotos, and the story. Best of all, I got to\nkeep my football books. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6 Attention\nAll Library Users\nUBC Library invites and\nneeds your comments\non proposed journal\ncancellations\nJournal subscription prices have increased\nan average of 10% per year over the last 3\nyears.

If it was any indication of I\nwhat to expect at the show, I was in I\nfor an interesting evening. And I certainly wasn't disappointed.\nHole started off their energetic set with \"Violet\" from Live Through\nThis, followed by a great variety of songs from their two most recent\nalbums. I didn't really expect Courtney Love to be as lively as she was,\nmostly because I had her pegged as a sell-out with her new\nglam/Hollywood starlet image. Looking like a dark angel in a transparent black dress, and leather leggings, with sparkles in her blond ringlets,\nshe bounded around the stage just like she used to. Her voice was as\nstrong as ever and her angry yelling was packed with enough emotion to\ngive me goosebumps.\nThere was a lot of friendly banter between Courtney and Canadian\nbassist, Melissa Auf de Maur, with Courtney continually insisting that\nMelissa take off her shirt. As well, Courtney had a pretty good handle on\nthe audience\u00E2\u0080\u0094she'd shout \"Lighters!\" before starting ballads such as\n\"Doll Parts\" and \"Northern Star,\" and the crowd would instantly obey.\nHole did a good job of getting the audience pumped up, finishing\ntheir set with a cover of \"Paradise City,\" but it wasn't until Marilyn\nManson made his entrance on a crucifix made of TVs that everyone went\ncrazy.\nWearing a black body stocking with a dark blue\nfeathered collar over a g-string, the self-proclaimed\n\"God of Fuck\" looked like an X-rated character out\nof The Nightmare Before Christmas. The stage was\nlittered with over-sizedprops (a huge, blinking sign\nthat endlessly flashed \"Drugs,\" a podium from which\nMarilyn 'preached'), all of which gave the set a surreal quality.

MARTIN IN THE FIELDS\nat the Chan Centre\nMarchi\nby Ronald Nurwisah\nI have to admit, I had high expectations for the\nrecent Academy of St Martin in the Fields conceit\nThey are, after all, touted as one of the best ensembles\nin the world, with a 40-year track record of excellence\nto prove it So, when I arrived at the Chan Centre, I\nwas expecting to be dazzled.\nThe concert began with the classical music equivalent of an appetizer, Mozarfs Divertimento in D\nmajor. The ensemble's rendition of this sunny and\nlight Mozart work was good and well emoted, though\nthey soon changed gears. Jumping from the light-\nhearted Mozart, the ensemble then delved into the\ndecidedly sombre and, at times, savage Bartok\nIf the concert's opener was a little ray of musical\nsunshine, then what followed was more like a dark\ngrey cloud, and the Bartok Divertimento they chose to\nplay was nothing less than schizophrenic. The piece\nshifts quickly and the ensemble responded perfectly\nto every emotional jolt and transformation. It was a\nperformance that clearly left some in the audience\nperturbed.\nThe ensemble then seemingly returned to their\nsenses with an energetic chaconne by Henry Purcell,\none of the great English composers of the 17th century. Still, the logical baroque machinations of Purcell\nfelt almost boring and domestic alongside the exotic\nand primal sounds of Bartok, but the ensemble\nseemed to have no problem with this dramatic shift\nif energetic\nin temperament\nThe evening drew to a close with the ensemble playing Benjamin Britten's\nVariations on a Theme of Frank Bridge. Britten, one of England's great wartime\ncomposers, wrote the piece at the age of 23, and this is surely reflected in the\nmusic; it's full of whimsical, humorous moments. At the same time, though,\nVariations demonstrates Britten's remarkable poise and maturity. It's also\nwhere the ensemble played the strongest, attacking the lively piece with a dramatic gusto, but still rendering the pastoral themes of piece with an effectively delicate touch.\nIfs a testament to the skill of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields that\nthey were able to play such a wide repertoire with a strong sense of mastery\nand technical skill And while they didn't leave the audience dazzled, everyone\nleft the Chan Centre satisfied.*\"\nIsrael Week\nMonday, March 8\nWten?

A Maxwell kill made it 8-4, and the din quieted. And\nAlberta again roared back, shooting off four points in a\nrow to tie the game. The Pandas' passing was near-flawless, and when Ross had to sit down with leg cramps,\nAlberta's momentum seemed almost inevitable.\nBut Lunam, in her final UBC game, came back with\na spike kill, a tip kill, and a block in the next\nfive possesions, and UBC was five points from\na fifth set.\nIt was then that a gunfight for the tide\nemerged. Lunam was blocked, and Alberta\nsetter Christy Torgerson made it 10-9.

Three more back-and-forth side-\nouts, and Cartmell sent a kill from behind the\nattack line that made it 11 -10 and set the gymnasium rocking. But UBC pulled back on a\nMaxwell kill, a Cartmell error, and a Bellini kill\nto make it 12-11. Three points from a fifth set,\nand Alberta called for time.\nAlberta tied it, and the match was spinning\nin the balance. Four rallies, four sideouts.\nAlberta made it 13-12. Ross was blocked on\nthe step, and it was suddenly match point.\nThe crowd stood, and the noise was deafening. But UBC withstood one match point,\nthen another. Maxwell went flying for a one-\nhanded dig, and they saved another. On the\nfourth match point, Maxwell was set, swung,\nand the ball was blocked. It floated over her\nhead, hung, and landed on the line as she\nlooked on in disbelief and the gymnasium\nerupted. Her face slowly fell apart amid the\ntumult, and she slowly walked in the arms of a\nteammate to the bench.

The CIAU is considering changing game scoring to rally points up to 21 points (no sideouts\u00E2\u0080\u0094\ninstead each rally produces a point) next season. UBC would\nhave won the first set 21-16, won the second 23-21, lost the\nthird 20-22, and won the fourth 21-18.

After the great success of\nthe Playhouse's previous production, Skylight, artistic\ndirector Glynis Leyshon offers a dumbed-down version of a classic that reads more like an episode from\nMarried\nwith Children than\na play from France's most\nrenowned playwright.\nContemporising and adapting classical texts is\na frequent practice, and these ventures are either hit or\nmiss. Sadly, King's Tartujfe, set in Vancouver 1999, falls\nin the miss category. It is already dated (despite having\nbeen written during the last few months), ridden with\ncliches, and, aside from leads Orgon and Tartuffe, full of\none-dimensional characters.\nThe story is quite straight-forward. Wealthy protagonist, Orgon, fears the arrival of the millennium;\ntherefore, he entrusts his spiritual and material\nbelongings to the hands of a \"Buddha meets Jesus\"\nfigure, the so-called Tartuffe. Tartuffe, brilliantly\ninterpreted by David Storch, fools the Point Grey millionaire into believing that he will save him from the\nupcoming catastrophes, but unable to deceive the\nrest of Orgon's family, the antagonist is eventually\nunmasked. However, it is too late. Orgon has already\ntransferred all his possessions to the cunning Tartuffe\nwhich forces the family to move out of their luxurious\nwaterfront home. But wait, the naughty fraud cannot\nwin so easily! David King throws in a deus ex machi-\nna that is quite fun (although unoriginal) to restore\nthe balance in the aristocratic home.\nDavid Storch (Tartuffe) gives a superb performance and Tom Wood (Orgon) has some strong\nmoments, and both live up to their reputations as\nprominent Canadian actors. Storch's superb physical acting and well-timed line delivery restore some of Moliere's original\nhumour that is sadly lost in this adaptation. Wood is especially effective\nwhen he is being manipulated like a\nmarionette by Tartuffe; unfortunate-\n, \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ly, his acting tends to only function\nr \u00E2\u0080\u009E,, i from the neck up. And worse, the\nmajority of the supporting cast fall\ninto cliched contemporary stereotypes (the geek, the dumb blonde), a\nproblem attributed more to the writing and direction team than to those\ndoing the acting.\nShould theatre be art or entertainment? Unquestionably, this play falls\nin the latter category. And though\nthere is nothing wrong with theatre\nthat entertains, if a piece is to mean\nsomething, it must go beyond sheer\nentertainment. Art allows us to look at\nthe world from another perspective, challenging us\nto rethink our prior notions. As an audience member\nI wanted to be entertained, but still challenged, and\nso I lost interest. I left the Playhouse production of\nTartuffe disappointed, for I was neither enlightened\nnor provoked. During my walk to the carpark, C?\nwas left with little to pcmdetv\nsave the fact that A^oliere probably wouldn't even recognise\nthis watered-clown version as\nhaving been drawn from, his\noriginal artfwl i664 cornady.^\nAthabasca University\nUndergraduate Degrees:\n1.

We say it's an unacceptable one. And they seem to agree.\nWhen veteran members of UBC's national\nchampion swim team told rookies that there\nhad been semen in the freshmen's pasta, they\nbroke the rules.\nAnd this is not a completely isolated incident. Throughout the year, rookies\u00E2\u0080\u0094not just in\nswimming, but probably on all varsity teams\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nare pressured to do a variety of degrading acts.\nVeterans acknowledge that it's all about asserting their dominance.\nObviously, the veterans don't intend to hurt\nthe rookies\u00E2\u0080\u0094especially when they're part of the\nbest team in Canada. And making the rooks\nwork by carrying the bags or fetching the water\nis fine. But incidents like this aren't harmless\nfun. They are harassment.\nWhile it seems that the veterans have\nlearned their lesson, it is difficult to give much\ncredibility to the swimmers' claim that their\nteam is completely rid of initiations and rookie\ndays after a single one-hour team meeting with\nthe coach.\nIn addition, coach Tom Johnson is a no-\nnonsense guy who says he doesn't tolerate this\nsort of activity. So why has it taken him over a\nmonth to find an \"expert\" to give his swimmers\nsome sensitivity training? Is it that difficult to\nfind someone who specialises in that area? In\nthe late 90s?\nBut Johnson isn't to blame for this. What\nabout the Athletics department's bizarre policy (or, rather, non-policy) on hazing? At the\nstart of the season, athletes promise to follow\nthe department policy on initiation and hazing. But as it turns out, there is no such written\npolicy.\nLet's get this straight. Athletics says it has a\npolicy on hazing, but no policy actually exists.\nPerhaps this inconsistency explains how penalties are handed down. Last term, the volleyball\nteam was given a two-year probation for running around naked outside the SUB. Yet when\nthe swimmers have clearly violated the code of\nconduct, all they're required to do is meet with\nthe coach. At least the volleyball rookies were\nhaving a good time.\nVarsity athletics is a vital component ofuni-\nversity life. No question. And when you have a\ngroup of young athletes training in close-knit\nquarters day after day, there's bound to be a\nnumber of pranks. But there are a number of\nquestionable activities that go on\u00E2\u0080\u0094for the sake\nof maintaining tradition\u00E2\u0080\u0094that don't need to\nhappen. The line has to be drawn somewhere.\nVarsity athletes represent UBC and, for the\nmost part, they do a terrific job. Look, they\ndon't have to be saints. There's nothing wrong\nwith having a little fun and blowing off a little\nsteam. But incidents like this mar that image as\nsurely as they mar the accomplishments of the\nathletes themselves.^\nSecretary of\nGolden Key\nResponds\nI am writing with regards to your\nseries of articles concerning our\nstudent society, the Golden Key\nNational Honour Society. On\nbehalf of the student executive of\nour chapter, I would like to reaffirm our commitment to our organization, and its goals and ideals.\nDespite the fact that we are all\nfull-time undergraduate students\nwith heavy course loads, we have\nenough confidence in the organization and care deeply enough\nabout its goals and ideals that we\nare willing to volunteer coundess\nhours each week to organise such\nactivities as our upcoming lunch\nhour Golden Key forum series,\nblood donor clinic, and book-\ndrive (to raise books for local elementary schools), not to mention\nestablishing the administrative\nframework necessary for a new\nstudent organisation.\nIn these endeavours, we are\nfortunate to have had a positive\nand supportive relationship with\nour chapter members and with\nthe Golden Key National Honour\nSociety as an organization.\nThroughout the four months\nsince the establishment of our\nstudent chapter, we have learned\na lot from our members and from\nthe organization of the Golden\nKey National Honour Society and\nwe see this positive relationship\ncontinuing as our organisation\ngrows and becomes more well\nestablished.\nYes\u00E2\u0080\u0094it is true that we have\nexperience the growing pains one\nwould expect of a student organisation in its infancy. However, as\nstudents who are building the\nfoundations of what we believe\ncan be one of the most active and\nvibrant student societies on campus, we would like to express our\nsincere belief that we are now, and\nwill increasingly be, a positive element in the lives of our members\nand in the community at large.\nAndrew Lim\nCorresponding Secretary\nUBC Chapter, Golden Key\nNational Honour Society\nletter received via e-mail\nGlen Clark\nsympathy?\nI think Glen Clark may have been\nsavvy enough to send BCTV to his\nown door!

Right now,\nshe anticipates moving into a new\nhome. But Yvette's quiet mood is not\ndue to a weekend spent coasting\ndown the slopes on her snowboard-\nshe has spent the last two days with\nother members of the Vancouver Rape\nRelief and Women's Shelter planning\nfor the coming year.\nHowever, when asked how she ini-\ntiallv pot involved with Ranp Rplipf\nthe energy seemingly lost to a hectic\nweekend is re-ignited.\nHer tea is left untouched as she\nanimatedly describes her first exposure to Rape Relief: \"I was at my first\nTake Back the Night rally in 1989 and\nwas handed a megaphone, with a\nRape Relief sticker on it...I was on the\nmegaphone throughout the march\nand by the end of the night, I decided to call the number on the sticker\nto see where I could return it.\" Yvette\nhad dialled Rape Relief's crisis line.\nHer experience at Take Back the\nNight had been empowering, and\nYvette considered volunteering.\nStill, a few years passed before\nYvette decided to become a volunteer.\n\"I had thought about it for four or five\nyears before I figured I was stable\nenough and serious enough to start\nworking.\"\nToday, Yvette has been a volunteer\ncollective member at the Vancouver\nRape Relief for over two years. As a\ncollective member, Yvette acts as a\nfeminist crisis worker, trains other\nwomen in crisis work, overlooks the\nsmooth running of the transition\nhouse, directs the tin can fundraising,\nand has a vote in the collective.\n\"At first I decided to volunteer\nbecause I figured I would be doing\nsomething good...I wanted to help\nother women, but now I feel I am\n\"At first I decided to\nvolunteer because I figured I would be doing\nsomething good... I\nwanted to help other\nwomen, but now I feel I\nlam working for myself\nas much as for others.

She Dulled it off last week:\ndespite the threat of a transit strike.\nAnother weekend spent as an active\nfeminist crisis worker.\nThe work has taken its toll on\nYvette...her voice softens, and Yvette\nhas the air of a woman needing\nsleep.

McHugh\nWhen encountering a series of plays entitled\nSuburban Motel, one has to figure that there are\ngoing to be some unusual and downtrodden characters. Rest assured, playwright George F. Walker\nuses them to full effect. Be it a talk show-obsessed\nex-con or an alcohol-swilling, prostitute-soliciting cop, everyone here is a little off-kilter.\nShowing two of the six Suburban Motel plays,\nthe Playhouse and Green Thumb Theatre companies, mounting Adult Entertainment and Problem\nChild respectively, offer gritty, funny and insightful looks into life on the wrong side of the tracks.\nBoth take place in the same scuzzy motel room\nand share a four-character cast.\nProblem Child is the story of Denise and RJ.\nShe's a reformed drug addict, he's an ex-con, and\nthey are trying to get their baby back from a foster\nhome. Their biggest challenge is to prove to\nHelen, a moralising and slightly judgemental\nsocial worker, that they are fit parents.!\nAdd Phillie, the alcoholic motel manag-j\ner, to the mix and things get really\nmessed up.\nThrough addressing issues such as|\naddiction and desperation, Problems\nChild is at heart sardonic and farcical.!\nRJ's obsession for TV talk shows and\nPhillie's outlandish behavior garnerl\nconsistent laughs, as do some incredi-j\nble plot developments. In all, it's anj\nenjoyable and quite funny story.\nThe second play, Adulti\nEntertainment, isn't as accessible. Here,!\na police detective and public defender!\nrekindle an old romance, both secretly!\nhoping to exploit the other for cases!\nthey're working on. Soon, Max and!\nJayne wise up to each other and plans|\nstart spinning. With Donny, Max's self-\ndestructive partner, in on the plan.j\nthings start to go wrong.\nUnlike Problem Child, this play takes a turnl\ntowards the dramatic. Unfortunately, this morel\nserious approach is not as enjoyable as the!\nhumour, but it does provide a more realised message: in this case the grim realities of police workl\nand the decay of values and principles. f\nThere's a lot to like about both of these plays.\nDavid Roberts' motel set was so lifelike I wondered if they would hand out shower caps and free I\nsoap. The acting also stood out, from comedicl\ntiming to overwrought emotions. Crowd favourite I\nDean Paul Gibson as Phillie was particularly!\ngreat\u00E2\u0080\u0094slime, saliva and all.\nBoth of these plays are terrific, though my preference is Problem Child. With its one-liners and I\nbizarre situations, though Suburban Motel pro-1\nvides solid entertainment. There might not be any I\nanswers here, but the ideas presented make fori\nsome good pondering. Also of note, tonight's performance is the only Pay As You Can performance.\nOtherwise, tickets are a tad pricey.^\nUBC BOOKSTORE\nINVENTORY\nCLEARANCE\nSave 20 - 70%\nMarch 15-27, 1999\nStationery/Office Supplies\nComputer hardware/software\nSportswear, Gifts\nWeekdays 9:30 AM - 5 PM\nSaturday 11 AM - 5 PM\nOne hour of free parking on Saturday at our north\nside meters when you spend $20.00 or more!\nUBC Bookstore, 6200 University Blvd.,\nVancouver, B.C.
