" SUMMER, v V\ntheUbyssey\nAMS splurges\nby Michael Booth\nA lack of executive control\ncontributed to a $15,000 cost-overrun by an enthusiastic Rec-Fac\ncommittee originally slated to\nspend $10,000 on an information\ncampaign for last November's referendum, according to an April\nreport releasedby Karl Kottmeier,\nAMS Director of Finance.\nThe committee exhibited \"lax\nfiscal controls, but money was not\nwasted, just used on ill-conceived\nprojects with limited forethought\nas to the final budget,\" according\nto Kottmeier.\nKottmeier added he was not a\ncommittee member at the time\nand committee bills never came\nthrough him. \"I quite purposely\nhad nothing to do with it,\" he said.\nThe most expensive mistake\nwas that of the Rec-Fac model,\nwhich cost $10,000 to conceptualize and construct.\nBut now, according to Andrew\nHicks, AMS Director of Administration, the building depicted by\nthe model won't be built, although\nsome components will be incorporated into the final design.\nInstead of supplying the\narchitects, Henriquez & Partners,\nwith the $20 million construction\nbudget from which to design a\nmodel, the AMS merely specified a\nlist of components to be included,\nnoted Hicks.\nBased on the Henriquez\nmodel, a final price tag of $30 million, with an annual operating\nbudget of $1 million, was estimated by AMS architect Michael\nKingsmill, shortly before the November referendum.\nBut the UBC administration's restriction of the facility's\nbudget to $9.5 million demanded a\ntotal revision of all plans.\nAnother committee blunder\nwas the expenditure of $2000 on\nRec-Fac buttons which could not\nbe used because the wording contravened an AMS elections bylaw,\naccording to Mike Lee, AMS President.\nFormer AMS President and\ncommittee member Tim Bird,\nhowever, said that such overruns\nare not uncommon and occur\nwithin every budget year.\n\"Last year the Homecoming\ncommittee went over by $10,000\nand the High School Conference\ncommittee also went over by\n$10,000,\" he said.\n\"Every year three or four\ncommittees go over budget to this\ndegree. We never know which\ncommittee will go over budget\nbecause each year there are several 'maverick' committees,\" Bird\nadded.\nMuch ofthe problem, according to Bird, is rooted in the enthusiasm of a committee's membership: \"If one of the AMS signing\nofficers is not heavily involved\nwith the committee, then expenses just keep getting chalked\nup with nobody keeping a tally on\nthem.\"\n\"As for the Rec-Fac committee, when there (are) five different\ncommittee members spending on\nfive different things, then you\nhave no idea how much is being\nspent. All you can really do is\nguess,\" said Bird.\nThese committees, Bird said\n\"need an AMS signing officer on\ntop of them at all times. But the\nproblem lies in determining ahead\nof time which committee will be a\nmaverick.\"\nBird added that lack of time\nwas also a factor in the delayed\nAMS investigation of the matter.\nAfter the referendum, committee\nmembers were exhausted and difficult to contact, making it difficult\nto track down invoices, he said.\nIn January, \"the tuition issue\npushed everything else aside; then\nthere were the elections and I was\nout of office,\" said Bird.\nLee said Hicks investigated\ncommittee expenses immediately\nfollowing the referendum, but the\ntask was delegated to Kottmeier in\nFebruary after Hicks became frustrated over the committee's lack of\na treasurer.\nHicks is now in charge of ensuring that in the upcoming RecFac campaign the AMS will issue\nonly neutral statements, and that\nall such statements are brought\nbefore student council. The budget\nfor the new campaign will also\nneed council approval.\nAlso, Hicks promised to ensure that last year's budget overruns will not be repeated, going so\nfar as to stake his office on the\npledge.\nFolk Fest '89: Rockin' in the rain\nJOE ALTWASSER PHOTO\nBudget approved: next\nyear's tuition will rise\nby Laura J. May\nUBC's Board of Governors\napproved this year's budget on\nTuesday with no guarantees that\ntuition fees won't be increased for\n1990-91.\nBoth student representatives, Tim Bird and Kurt Preinsperg, asked the board not to increase tuition fees higher than the\nrate of inflation.\nPresident David Strangway\ngave \"an informal commitment\nthat (tuition increases) won't exceed inflation next year but (the\nincrease) is going to be at least\ninflation,\" Preinsperg said.\nStrangway said he didn't\nwant to increase tuition fees above\nthe rate of inflation. But the university won't know how much faculty salaries will increase until\nAugust\u00E2\u0080\u0094after the budget has\nbeen approved, according to\nStrangway's written notes on the\nbudget.\nIf the arbitrator decides to\nincrease faculty salaries by more\nthan 8.2 percent, tuition fees may\nhave to be raised higher than the\nrate of inflation, according to Bird.\nOverall, the board thought\nthe budget was excellent and\nquickly approved it, according to\nPreinsperg and Bird.\n\"This budget is full of exciting\nand constructive initiatives\u00E2\u0080\u0094like\nconsiderably increased student\naid, and initiatives that promote\ngender equity and encouragement\nfor disadvantaged groups,\" Preinsperg said.\nThe board approved $1 million for graduate fellowships and\n$300,000 for emergency bursaries,\nhe said.\nBut Preinsperg voted against\nthe budget to protest \"(last year's)\ninfamous ten percent tuition increase.\"\n\"This budget spends money\nwhich the university has illegitimately taken away from students\nand it promises students no relief\nfrom further increases next\nyear,\" he said.\nBird criticized the board not\nonly for relying on tuition fee increases to cover end-of-the-year\ndeficits, but also for evading students' concerns about tuition.\nWhen students ask the board\nnot to increase tuition in January, the board says they have toin\norder to balance the budget, he\nsaid. And when students ask the\nboard in July when the budget's\nbeing approved, the board says\ntuition fees were already determined in January, he said.\n\"When is the appropriate\ntime to debate tuition fees?\"\nasked Bird. \"And why is tuition\nthe only area that can be changed\nand altered?\"\n~ Beijing massacre witnesses arrive in Vancouver\nby Chung Wong\nThe Beijing massacre's first eyewitnesses to visit Vancouver shocked audiences last Saturday at St. John's Church\nwith graphic slides they had smuggled out\nof China.\nThe slides showed an endless row of\nbroken bicycles and mangled bodies with\nspilled entrails.\n\"The official death toll given by the\ngovernment was once 23. Eventually it\nbecame none. Until now we have only seen\nthe blurry pictures ofthe media. But I guess\nnow, you and me have the answer,\" said Ray\nChang organizer ofthe conference.\nIn the early stages of unrest, demonstrators included members of the People's\nLiberation Army and several Buddhist\nmonks, as the slides revealed. Faint hunger\nstrikers wore headbands saying \"I love\nChina.\"\nBefore the massacre, soldiers tried to\ntempt students to take weapons so violence\nagainst the students could be justified, said\nVOLUME 8, Number 3\nJane Cheng of Hong Kong's Chinese University.\n\"On June 3 soldiers left behind uniforms and arms at the Shewan Gates, but\nthe students insisted that it was a peaceful\ndemonstration and returned clothes and\nweapons to the police so they wouldn't have\nan excuse later,\" she said.\nCheng worked in the Hong KongMate-\nrial station set up in Tiananmen Square\nwhich the Chinese government accused of\nproviding weapons to the students.\nBut according to Cheng they didn't\neven have abutter knife. \"The only thing we\ncould have possibly used as weapons were\nthe bamboo rods holding our tent,\" Cheng\nsaid.\n\"All the bamboo poles which could be\nused as weapons were purchased by me,\"\nsaid Stephen Yam, a shy student from Hong\nKong University.\nYam missed his final exams to protest\nat Tiananmen Square. \"As a student, as a\nChinese, I felt I had a responsibility to go,\"\nhe said.\nReminiscent ofthe cultural revolution,\nthe Chinese government imported young,\nignorant soldiers from the countryside to\nattack the students, Cheng said.\n\"In the early morning of June 4, 15- to\n16-year old soldiers said they didn't know\nthey were in Beijing while others outside of\nthe square asked how to get to Tiananmen\nSquare,\" she said.\n\"The non-hunger strikers received\nonly two bread rolls in their daily diet and\nhad to sleep on the cold ground overnight\nand endure the dry heat during the day,\"\nCheng said. \"The secret police had already\nbegun video-taping,\" she added.\nAt Saturday's presentation, Yam wore\nthe same shirt he wore on the day of the\nmassacre. He washed it once in Hong Kong,\nbut large blood stains still remained.\n\"Two images are most prominent in my\nmind,\" Yam said. \"I can remember trying to\nstop an ambulance but it wouldn't stop. An\nangry group of students blocked its way. A\nfrustrated driver told the students it was\nfull. He got out and opened the back door.\nThe ambulance was full of unconscious\nbodies.\"\n\"The other image is the unconscious\nsoldier I tried to save. Comatose, he lay\nagainst a tank. Angry students with clubs\nbegan to approach him. Other students and\nmyself used our arms to block the clubs and\ntold them fighting will only bring retribution from the government. I picked the soldier up and began to walk toward the medics. I noticed his head was bent too far back\nso with my left arm I tried to hold his head.\nTo my horror I was holding his neckbone.\"\nYam pointed to the blood stain on his\nshirt. \"This is the blood.\"\n\"In the massacre they also used the\ntype of bullets banned in previous wars.\nThey explode after entry,\" he said.\nSuk-Yi Yau, a journalist from Hong\nKong, said she witnessed approximately\n300 killingsjustin the inner city and several\nhundred killings in the square. Though she\nwarned the people in the square about the\nmassacre in the inner city, the people would\nnot leave.\nVancouver, B.C.

Cordua-von Specht\nThe metamorphic site between SUB and the newly constructed parkade will assume its\nfinal form as the SUB Boulevard\nPlaza this September.\n\"It will be a student center\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nan outdoor gathering space\u00E2\u0080\u0094to tie\ntogether SUB, Brock Hall and the\nother surrounding facilities,\" said\nMiner, Director of Physical Planning and Development.\n\"It used to be a temporary car\npark and rough ground,\" said\nMiner.\nMiner estimated the total\nconstruction costs to be under\n$500,000.\nStudent Council president\nMike Lee, said the plaza, which\nwill be wheelchair accessible, will\nbe bordered by a speaker's platform for official ceremonies and\nspecial events, a terrace, and a\nshelter.\nThe shelter, which will be lit\nup at night, is for students waiting\nfor rides or dropped off at the university, said Lee.\nBut the shelter is still too isolated from SUB and could be un-'\nsafe, he added.\nWhen asked about the shelter's isolation, Miner said he had\nnot heard anything about this\nproblem, but would address the\nquestion.\nLee also said Tim Bird, Past\nPresident ofthe AMS, lobbied the\nBoard of Governors to provide\nhandicapped and meter parking\nspaces close to SUB. \"Tim Bird and\nhis executives, worked hard last\nyear on the project,\" said Lee.\nThe plaza project is closely\nlinked to the parkade construction\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"a cause and effect relationship,\" said Bruce Gellatly, Vice\nPresident of Administration and\nFinance.\nThe parkade eliminates the\nneed for the plaza site to be a\nparking lot, said Gellatly. \"Therefore, it was decided to finish the\nsite in a landscaped fashion.\"\nAlso, partially funded by\n\"surplus funds the University had\non hand in anticipation of the\nbuilding ofthe parkade,\" full funding ofthe plaza will come from the\nparkade's \"user fee,\" said Gellatly.\n\"It's all fully funded by the\noperations ofthe parkade over the\nnext 20 years.\"\nRec-Fac still\nin cradle\nBy Michael Booth\nLast year Rec-Fac was born\u00E2\u0080\u0094\na troublesome baby. This summer\nRec-Fac is a problematic toddler,\nstumbling along under the guidance of a Rec-Fac committee.\nThe committee includes AMS\nDirector of Administration Andrew Hicks, Director of Finance\nKarl Kottmeier, UBC Vice-President for Student and Academic\nServices Dr. K.D. Srivastava, and\nplanner Graham Argyle.\nBy mid-August, the committee plans to present a case statement on the proposed recreation\nfacility which will tie together the\ncommittee's recommendations on\nthe management, financing, users, and day-to-day operations of\nthe facility.\nNot only will the case statement be used to help sell the facility by providing information for\nstudents, Hicks said it will serve\nas \"the first foundation of Rec-Fac\nand will be given to the architect\nfor designing the facility.\"\nHicks said that during last\nNovember's referendum the costs\ninvolved were not clear, and information presented in the Informant newsletter, regarding agreements between the AMS and the\nadministration, \"was not 100 percent confirmed.\" .\nAt present Hicks said the\ncommittee will try to match the\n'wish list' of components for the\nfacility with the $9.5 million\nbudget.\n\"'In the past there has been\nsome problems as the university's\nvision ofthe center and our vision\nof the center has differed to some\ndegree,\" Hicks said.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \"We are basically working to\nresolve our differences on the actual contents of the facility and\nwho will control it. I want to give\nstudents a real vision of what they\ncan get for their money.\"\nAnother area of debate centers on who will use the facility.\nThe AMS does not want the new\ncomplex to be used by varsity\nteams, a point brought out repeatedly during the Rec-Fac campaign\nlast November.\nThe university agrees the\nfacility is 'intended' to be used\nprimarily by the intramural program, but this agreement would\nonly be established as an intention, not a firm legal agreement.\nWhile Hicks understands the\nuniversity's position, he would\nprefer a legal document to ensure\nIntramurals does retain a high\npriority.\nStill another issue the AMS\nmust clear up is the time period\nthey need to collect the $30 levy\nfrom students to finance the project.\nDuring the November referendum campaign, the AMS stated\nthe levy would only be collected for\na period often years.\nBut now the levy's termination date is uncertain. According\nto Hicks, after the facility is completed, students will continue to\npay the levy to fund facility expansions, upgrades and equipment.\nBoard of Governors' student\nrepresentative and ex-AMS President Tim Bird confirms the levy\nwill not be limited to ten years but\nbelieves that it can terminate at\nany time after the project is completed.\n\"The intention is that the levy\ncan be stopped by students,\" said\nBird. \"Whenever the recreation\nfacilities are at an acceptable\nlevel, the AMS will run a referendum to ask for an end to the levy.\"\nBus fare still too\nhigh for students\nBy Heather McCartney\nBC Transit has reduced bus\nfares for some university students, but fares are still too high,\naccording to Mark Rose, MLA for\nCoquitlam-Moody.\nBC Transit's new reduced\nfares allow students to travel\nacross more than one zone and pay\nonly the one-zone rate beginning\nin September, the Vancouver\nRegional Transit Commission\ndecided on June 1.\nThe Student Transit Advisory Committee had lobbied for\nthis change because ofthe exorbitant fees multi-zone travellers\npaid\u00E2\u0080\u0094up to 90 dollars per month,\naccording to Vanessa Geary, AMS\nExternal Affairs Coordinator.\nBut Rose said these concessions won't help poor students in\nthe long run. \"Even though travel\nexpenses are now covered by student loans, these (loans) do have to\nbe paid back plus interest. Students that are less economically\nadvantaged are more likely to\nhave a student loan. These people\nare most desperately in need of a\nconcession fare,\" he said.\nAlso, student loans now com\npletely cover travel expenses. The\nceiling for the amount of travel\nexpenses covered by a student\nloan has risen to $53.00 per\nmonth. (All full-time students now\npay a flat rate of $50.00 per\nmonth,so travel expenses are\ncompletely covered by a student\nloan.)\nRose said he didn't know why\nhigh school students\u00E2\u0080\u0094who live at\nhome and don't pay tuition fees\u00E2\u0080\u0094\npay a lower fare than university\nstudents do.\nDiane Gendron, from BC\nTransit's Public Relations Department, said, \"We base our fares on\nestablished tradition adopted by\nmost businesses which charge\nconcession fares.\n\" Normally, high school students are charged a youth fare\nwhile university students are\ncharged an adult fare.\"\nThe Transit Commission\nagreed in principle to give a discount to all full-time students, as\nlong as the provincial government\nwould provide funding to cover the\ndiscount's cost.\nThe Student Transit Advisory\nCommittee will continue fighting\nto lower travel expenses, Geary\nsaid.\nNew SUB plaza to be completed by September\nPAT NAKAMURA PHOTO\nJuly 19,1989\nTHE SUMMER UBYSSEY/3 ANGER\nCourtenay native Sue Medley about to be hot with new record.\nFolk Festival set down in\nhistory by Chung Wong\nThe Audience\nAs twilight hit Vancouver\nlast Friday, dogs could be seen\nrolling in the sands of Jericho\nBeach while kids with the energy\nof delirious bees did cartwheels\nand flips along the shore.\nCouples lay in blankets and\ncrowds of people conglomerating\ninto a population of around 5000\ncame to a social event.\nSaturday broke open with\nheavy summer dancing before a\n15-piece band which included 13\nguitars and three female blues\nsingers.

Apparently this referendum\nwas a mere sham since a\nmore enlightened AMS\nCouncil in 1989 has seen fit\nnot only to take action without consulting the present\nstudent population, but also\nto flagrantly ignore the\nopinion of the students who\nvoted in the previous referendum; many of whom are\nstill a part of the student\npeasantry (well if that's how\nyou're going to treat us).\nThis action raises some\nvery serious doubts about\nthe integrity of the student\nreferendum process and,\nunless the boycott is retracted and put to a student\nvote, I would suggest that\nwe, as students, not even\nwaste our time going to the\npolls this fall to vote on the\nproposed Recreation Facility. After all, \"if a referendum fails to pass it is not a\nvote against, rather it is a\nfailure to arrive at a consensus. . .\" (Thank you for the\ndouble speak Mr. Kogan).\nIf Rec Fac fails \"to arrive at a consensus\" we can\nall sleep easy knowing that\na more enlightened AMS\nCouncil will just darn well\nbuild it anyway, given a\ncouple of years for the students to forget about the\nissue. While not a Rec Fac\nbasher, if promise breaking\nis the precedent, and disregarded student opinion part\nofthe price, then I think I'd\nrather spend my $30 a year\nelsewhere.\nTop marks to Joanna\nWickie for her observation\nthat Council's decision will\nlimit personal choice (something I was misled to believe\nwe valued out here). I cannot even begin to comprehend what sort of self-right-\nThe Ubyssey welcomes letters on any issue. Letters must be typed and are not to exceed 300 words In length.

What's next guys?\nMaybe afew South African works in the libraries or\nthe bookstore?\nOK. Anybody have a\nmatch?\nBill Allman\nLaw 2\nNo smoking\nWell, what do you\nknow! After a century of\nneedless death and torment\ncaused by the legal dope\nring known as the tobacco\nindustry, our AMS council\nhas come up with a reason\nfor boycotting Rothman's.\nAnd what is that reason? Is\nit that babies in Canada who\nare breastfed by smoking\nmothers get the equivalent\nof two cigarettes a day?\nNope. Is it that the entire\ntobacco industry as we now\nknow it was built on 300\nyears of black slavery in\nAmerica? No. Is it that the\nindustry is deliberately using media stereotypes of\nyoung \"glamorous\" women\nin their ads to target young\ngirls who aren't hooked yet?\nOr that tobacco has been\nlinked to Sudden Infant\nDeath Syndrome (SIDS) in\ncases of smoking during\npregnancy? Or that from\n10,000 to 15,000 Canadian\nchildren took up this deadly\naddiction each month between 1982 and 1987? Or\nthat, since the millionaires\nwho run the tobacco cartel\nhave every intention of remaining millionaires, they\nwill stop at nothing to ensure that our children become tomorrow's smokers?\nNo, none of the above. The\nAMS council wants to boycott Rothman's for being a\nsubsidiary of a South African company.\nLet me be sure I have\nthis right. The next time I\nwish to lend my financial\nsupport, my \"dollar votes\",\nto an industry which knowingly spreads cancer, heart\ndisease and other horrors\nfrom generation to generation both here in Canada\nand in S. Africa, I should\nmake sure it is for a brand\nthat only kills Canadians.\nThis will show how politically correct I am. Such lofty\nidealism just takes my\nbreath away, so to speak.\nSure let's boycott Rothman's. But while we're at it,\nlet's take that \"strong stand\non human rights\" for the\nchildren of Canada and kick\nall tobacco products off the\ncampus altogether. That\nwill really send a strong\nmessage!\nNick Sullivan\nUnclassified\nFSL Summer Institute\nApology\nwon't do\nDear Mr. Hill;\nI recently received your\nletter 'apologizing\" for some\nvery offensive statements in\n'The Red Menace'.\nYour response to our\nconcerns is not good enough,\nMr. Hill.\nLack of journalistic experience is not sufficient rationalization for the obnoxious garbage found in your\n'newspaper'. The material\nin The Red Menace' demonstrates a hatred and fear of\nwomen that has less to do\nwith editorial policy and\njournalistic experience than\nit has to do with our culture's (and particularly engineering students'!) perceptions of women and our\n'place'.\nIt is up to you and your\npeers to re-educate yourselves, for when the next\nissue of The Red Menace'\ncomes out, we will be watching. Should we find it in any\nway offensive or demeaning\nto women, we will take further action.\nErin Graham\nfor Vancouver Rape Relief\nThe engineers apologized and Vancouver Rape\nRelief wouldn't accept the\napology.\nPerhaps Erin Graham\nshould re-think her attitude toward engineers\nwhile the engineers are\nbusy re-educating themselves about women.\nThough the engineers'\nstatement in The Red Menace was outrageous and offensive (\"a .44 under the\nchin is a million times better than a nice dinner,\nflowers, or a trip to Whistler\"), they apologized.\nThey also changed the way\ntheir newspaper operates\nto avoid future offensive\nremarks.\nThe Red Menace's remark was more than just a\nsimple journalistic mis\ntake: at least one engineer\nis awfully insecure about\nwomen. But he may not\nwrite the same thing today\nthat he wrote last March\nAnd besides, could\nGraham really expect the\nengineers to say what she\nwanted to hear? \"We, the\nengineers, apologize for\nour statement. We are\nguilty of promoting a\nhatred and fear of women\nthat derives from our cul\nture's perceptions of\nwomen and their place.\" I\ndon't think so. The engineers' apology may have\nlacked insight into the\ncauses of sexism, but the\napology itself was sincere.\nGive them a break,\nGraham. However small a\nstep the apology may have\nseemed to Vancouver Rape\nRelief, it was nevertheless\nan apology.\nLet's try to end this\nwar between feminists and\nengineers. Just imagine\nit\u00E2\u0080\u0094engineers realizing\nthat feminists really aren't\na bunch of unreasonable,\nangry bitches, and feminists realizing that engineers aren't a bunch of intolerant, ignorant pigs.\nPeace, harmony, bliss,\nwe can do it if we try and all\nthat baby boom claptrap.\nby Laura J.
