Martha Piper, UBC\npresident, told the Ubyssey that she\ndoes not believe a continued tuition\nfreeze is in the best interest ofthe university. The freeze eliminates funding that would come from tuition\nincreases, she said.\nBut many students argue the\ntuition freeze is one of the only safeguards against prohibitive fee levels\u00E2\u0080\u0094something that many students\nin Alberta and Ontario know all too\nwelL Which candidates will fight to\nkeep tuition where it is? Should they?\nThe tuition debate could also fall\ninto an \"us vs. them\" issue next year\nif Premier Glen Clark fulfils his threat\nto allow higher tuition fees for non-BC\nresidents studying at BC universities\nand colleges.\nSUB RENOVATIONS\nWith a $424,000 annual renovations\nbudget renovations are a big deal to\nthe SUB. .And they often go over budget like last fall's renovations to the\nAqua Soc in SUB basement that went\n65 per cent over.\nLong-range planning and debate\nover how to spend renovations\nmoney is only going to grow next\nyear. The Student Union Building\ncould see major changes in the next\nfive years, with plans to move club\noffices and renovate AMS food and\nretail outlets in the works.\nCorporate partnerships\nThe Coke deal, which saw the AMS\ntake an annual $130,000 in\nexchange for making Coca-Cola the\nSUB's only soft-drink was contentious\nenough. The debate around that deal\nstill stands as a benchmark for prolonged debate.\nBut the AMS could soon be faced\nwith an offer to give the Hong Kong\nand Royal Banks a monopoly in the\nSUB, one that would limit student\nchoice while inflating the AMS' cof\nfers. Money or students? Or do they\nhave to be mutually exclusive?\nOne thing's certain With so many\ncontentious issues before them, next\nyear's AMS executive won't be able to\nsit on the fence or play follow the\nleader. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nUBC may welcome frat houses to campus\nby Chris Nuttall-Smith\nUBC's fraternities are hoping a proposal to move\ntheir eight frat houses south along Wesbrook Mall to\na strip across from Thunderbird park\u00E2\u0080\u0094and onto\nUBC campus\u00E2\u0080\u0094will get a nod from the university\nBoard of Governors (BoG).\nThe proposal from UBC Properties, the\nuniversity's real estate division, will see\nUBC share the profits from a market housing development on the land currently occupied by the fraternities.\na\nd by moving the fraternities onto campus; UBC might be able to *fulfil part of a\ncommitment under the recently-approved\nOfficial Community Plan to build student\nhousing on campus.\nBut the proposal will face a trial of public\nopinion first\nKathy Usher, a day care worker at\nHuckleberry Day Care, which is immediately behind the proposed fraternity relocation\nsite, said cutting down the swath of trees\ncurrently on the lots is a bad idea\n\"A few trees, tojidults they don't seem\nlike much of anything, but to children it's\nlike a whole forest and they can go into lhe\nforest and explore it\u00E2\u0080\u0094so you cut those down and you\ndon't have that access,\" said Usher.\nAnd several residents in the Point Grey\nApartments, which are occupied by UBC faculty and\npost-Doctorate students, said bringing frats closer to\n-their neighbourhood would increase noise and\ncrowding in the area.\nBut the proposal could also give the university a\ndegree of control over a group that is often associated with drunken parties and public brushes with\npolice. In order for the frats to relocate to campus,\nthey would have to agree to a university-irnposed\ncode of conduct\n\"A code of conduct is something that we should\nall support and should all adhere to\u00E2\u0080\u0094everyone\nshould adhere to it\" said Stephen Johnston a Beta\nTheta Pi and president of the Inter-Fraternity\nCouncil.\nIf there\nviolators, we have\nways to deal with\npeople who\nviolate [the code\nof conduct]\n-Stephen Johnston\nBeta Theia Pi\nand president of\nthe Inter-Fraternity\nCouncil\nYARD SALE UBC fraternities are looking for new digs ubyssey file photo\n\"If there are violators we have ways to deal with people who violate\n[the code of conduct],\" Johnston added.\nJohnston said the fraternities have been unfairly\nlabelled as trouble makers. In all fairness you have\nto say we're an easy scapegoat It's easy to say that a\nbad apple belongs to a fraternity and blame the\nwhole frat\"\nThe proposal is outlined in a November 24\nReport from UBC Properties to Teny Sumner, the\nUBC vice president of finance. The report also says\nthe university should consult with student and faculty groups, alumni and University Endowment Lands\nresidents before deciding on the proposal\nAccording to Keith McBain a former Delta Kappa\nEpsilon who works with the UBC fraternity alumni\ncommittee, the fraternities see the proposal as a\nchance for survival since the leases on their current\nproperties are set to expire in the next seven to 20\nyears. If they wait out the leases, and can't renegotiate, they will be left only with the shaky houses that\nstand on them.\nA tentative agreement with Vancouver's Polygon\nDevelopment Corporation combined with the cur-\nrent proposal could save them. Polygon would buy\nout the fraternities' leases for $700,000 each. That\nmoney would likely help pay for new frat houses.\nThe proposal got a more favourable reaction from\nBoG than another one presented in October. The\nOctober proposal would have put the fraternities on a\nlot by St Mark's College near Chancellor Boulevard\nand Wesbrook Mall, but it didn't include a code of con\nduct and residents near the area weren't crazy about\nhaving fraternity houses in their neighbourhood.\nJoanne Emerman a faculty representative on\nBoG said at the board's December 11 meeting that\nshe was relieved by the current proposal.

But they will use the\nannouncement's fine print as a means of damage control.\nMcCarten, determined that students get a\nbang for their increasing buck, points to the\nvague conditions attached to fee increases and\ndemands stringency from the government in\nensuring they are met\nOptional ten per cent increases per year are\ntechnically a five per cent free for all, with the\nadditional five per cent with strings attached.\nUniversities must justify the increased revenue\nwith educational improvements.\nAnd overall, universities taking advantage of\nnew fee revenue must address shortages in scientific and technical programs at their schools.\nMcCarten says he will monitor the government's responsibility in ensuring universities\nmeet these conditions while also deciphering\ntheir long-term implications.\nBut Poirier says targeting the conditions\nmay prove futile.\n\"When the criteria is vague the institution can\npretty much say or do anything that will make it\nappear they have met the needs.\nThe bottom line is that they are disguising a\ntuition fee announcement in which the reality\nmeans students will see a 20 per cent increase\nover two years,' he said.-*\nSTUDENT SOCIETY OF UBC\nS^aAMS\nUPDATE\nstudent input makes it happen\nALMA MATER SOCIETY PROPOSES A\nNEW RETAIL STORE\nOn January 7th, Students' Council voted in favour of opening a new retail store in the Student Union\nBuilding. The store, which plans to cater to student needs, is slated to open in May of 1998, in the\npremises currently leased to a private owner, Thunderbird Enterprises.\nThe AMS, your student society, currently operates numerous food outlets in the SUB. These provide\nrevenue to run essential student services such as: Safewalk, CiTR, Joblink and Rentsline. The AMS\nemploys over 400 students and pays over $2 million in student wages yearly and with the addition of\na new store, the AMS expects to hire approximately 15-20 more students. As with all AMS outlets,\nthese students will be offered flexible shifts allowing them to work around their school schedule.\nThe store will offer a selection of greeting cards & gifts, UBC brand wear, and essential school\nsupplies at competitive prices. The outlet will be looking at new and innovative products to provide\nthe best possible service to you as students.\nThe AMS has chosen to undertake the creation of a new store because it is directly beneficial to all\nstudents. Students need the convenience of a 'general store' and the revenue from the store will\nhelp support other services the AMS provides: the services that help student find jobs, find housing,\naid with tutoring needs, provide academic advocacy and work towards as a safer campus.\nThe Alma Mater Society will continue to adhere to its mission statement: \"To improve the quality of\nthe educational, social and personal lives ofthe students of UBC.\" by continuing to implement new\nservices and programs of benefit to UBC students.\nIf you have questions, comments or concerns about the society's intentions please contact Ryan\nDavies, AMS President at 822-3972, or email president@ams.ubc.ca.\nA display will be set up in the glass case on the main concourse outside Pie R Squared which will\nshow the proposals for the new store.\nThe AMS would like to create a database of UBC students who have expressed an interest in becoming involved in campus issues. Students who\nwould like to be contacted with opportunities to participate in various committees on\ncampus should submit a resume to Ruta\nFluxgold, AMS Vice President. Students\ncan drop resumes off in SUB Room 238.\nPart of your campus community\nIrwolvQd\nInvolvment can range from committees\nthat meet monthly to those that meet\nsemi-annually. Extensive knowledge is\nnot required, the majority of committees\nare seeking the 'average' student who\nhas a willingness and interest in the topic\nat hand. An example of some of the\nissues tackled by the various committees\nare: transportation, safety issues, technology at UBC- issues about community\nplanning & housing, academics, quality\nof service, quality of education, priorities\netc. BE INVOLVED!\nFor futher information, contact Ruta\nFluxgold at 822-3092 or email\nvicepresident@ams.ubc.ca THE UBYSSEY \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 TUSSfSVY/l^ARy 13|:199&I\nStudents get final say on T-Bird Shop\nby Sarah Galashan\nStudents will have a chance next week to\ndecide whether to pay higher AMS fees,\nwhether to fund AMS clubs and whether to\nsupport the Pacific Spirit Family counseling\nservice. But voters will have to wait a week\nbefore a question on the future of the\nThunderbird Shop goes to the polls.\nThat wait will cost them a minimum of\n$15,000, according to Desmond Rodenbour,\nAMS policy analyst\nRather than include the Thunderbird Shop\nquestion on the executive ballot the AMS will\nrun a separate referendumas they're allowed\nunder AMS code and policy.\n\"We are delighted that students get to voice\ntheir opinions,' said Bob Gray, the\nThunderbird Shop manager. 'It's unfortunate\nthat it has to be held separately because ultimately it's going to cost the students.'\nThe Thunderbird Shop's future was a contentious issue on AMS council prior to last\nweek's council vote of 18-14 not to renew the\nlease. That decision, which came over objections from T-Bird staff and managers, will\nallow the student union to set up its own retail\nstore in the Thunderbird space.\nBut the shop cheated death with a 5000 signature petition asking for an extended five\nyear lease on the Thunderbird Shop. The petition, presented to AMS staff January 9\nrequires the AMS to hold a referendum.\nBut the petition was too late to let the AMS\nconsult its lawyers over the wording of the\nquestion and meet the elections ballot dead-\nfine.\nA referendum question must go to council\nfollowing 'a resolution of council passed by at\nleast a simple majority or a petition signed by\n1000 members/five per cent of the student\npopulation.'\nRyan Davies, the AMS president, voiced the\nsentiment of many AMS councilors and most\nexecutives in an interview Monday. \"The question itself is completely undemocratic but we\nare compelled to run the referendum....which\nwe will do,' said Davies.\nSome councilors said they felt the petition\nquestion was heavily biased and that the large\nnumber of signatures was due to misinformation in the Ubyssey and from Thunderbird\nShop employees.\n'Students can say they want a new lease\nand then the AMS will have to negotiate, in\ngood faith, a new lease (with the Thunderbird\nShop). The AMS would have to abandon the\nidea of a retail outlet of its own,\" said Davies.\nA yes vote to renewing the Thunderbird\nShop lease, however, would only force the student union to try to negotiate a new deal with\nthe shop. If one couldn't be reached the AMS\nstore would go ahead.\nThree referendum questions will appear on\nthe executive ballot in addition to the names of\nAMS candidates. If a simple majority of at least\nten per cent of students vote in favour of all\nthree questions the AMS fee of $39.50 will\nincrease by the rate of inflation; increase again\nby $ 1.50 for direct funding of AMS clubs and a\nthird time allocating 85 cents to the Pacific\nSpirit Family and Community Services.\n'[The extra 85 cents per students is important] so that we can continue providing counseling to students and their families,' said\nSydney Foran, coordinator for counseling services.\nThe AMS is asking for the inflationary student fee increase to combat the drop in value\nof the fee since it was set If indexed to the BC\nConsumer Price Index the membership fee\nwill increase by approximately 59 cents.\nShould all three questions pass students face\nan approximate AMS fee of $42.44.<\u00C2\u00BB\nThree Green College residents prepare APEC suit\nby Chris Nuttall-Smith\nThree UBC graduate students are set\nto file a lawsuit alleging they were\ndenied their Constitutional rights to\nfree expression after RCMP officers\ntook away anti-APEC and free-\nspeech signs they were carrying\nNovember 25.

RCMP forced several Green College residents to\nremove signs from the lawn in front\nofthe residence and threatened people who wouldn't remove signs with\narrest\nCraig Jones, a UBC law student\nand a Green College resident was\narrested that day. He filed a suit last\nmonth against several RCMP officers, the RCMP, the Solicitor\nGeneral and Prime Minister Jean\nChretien over his arrest and 14-hour\ndetention following his refusal to\nremove two signs from the Green\nCollege lawn. Jones is also represented by Heenan Blaikie.\nAlso planning to file a mass suit\nagainst RCMP, the Prime Minster's\noffice and possibly the university,\nsome 20 students and protesters\nwho were arrested or pepper\nsprayed November 25 hope to file\nlater this month with Cameron\nWard and Aymen Nader, both\nVancouver lawyers.\nAccording to Thorns and Morris,\nRCMP tore a placard from Morris'\nhands and took down two makeshift\nbanners Thorns was trying to put on\na trellis outside Green College. The\nbanners were made of bed sheets\nand read 'Dictators not welcome at\nUBC,' and one with an image of jail\nbars, read \"The APEC Vision.\" Both\nThorns and Morris say the police\nseizure of the banners constitutes\nassault, and they will include that\ncharge in the suit\nVarela handed her sign over to\npolice because she knew they would\ntake it anyway, she said.\nThe RCMP have stated since the\nAPEC protests that they took signs\nfrom Green College residents\nbecause the signs posed a security\nthreat to passing leaders. Signs\ncould have been thrown at the\nmotorcade and the bed sheets could\nhave been strung across Chancellor\nBoulevard to obstruct motorcycle\npolice accompanying the motorcade, said RCMP spokesperson Russ\nGrabb.\nThe three students say they\nhaven't yet finalised a decision\nabout what damages they will claim\nor what exactly they will argue.-*\nGREEN COLLEGE RESIDENTS Michael Thorns and Isabela Varela return to\nthe spot from where the RCMP removed their sign on the morning of\nthe APEC conference, richard lam photo\nManitoba government employees win same-sex benefits\n by Andrea Breau\nPrairies Bureau\nWINNIPEG (CUP)-After a 15-year legal battle,\nManitoba provincial employees have won the\nright to same-sex benefits.\nThe Manitoba Human Rights Commission\nruling, made Nov. 24, means gay and lesbian\nprovincial government employees will now\nbe able to provide health, dental and optical\ncare to their partners.\n\"This decision was long overdue,\" said\nChris Vogel, a provincial employee who\nlaunched the suit in 1982.\nWhile Vogel and other provincial employees are celebrating the ruling, members of\nManitoba's gay and lesbian community are\nasking why it took so long.\n'It seems pretty silly that it took 15 years\nand several appeals to determine whether its\nlegal or not to discrirninate against [gays and\nlesbians],\" said Maggie Ross, a member ofthe\nUniversity of Winnipeg's gay, lesbian and\nbisexual student group. \"Of course it's illegal.\"\nRoland Penner, a law professor at the\nUniversity of Manitoba and a former provincial attorney general, says the delay in the ruling was probably the result of several factors.\n\"One, I think in some instances there was\na lack of willpower [from] the government,\ndue to fiscal and ideological concerns, to act\non this issue. Two, human rights commissions in Canada are often underfunded and\nthat sometimes affects their ability to work\neffectively.'\nManitoba Labour Minister Harold\nGillshammer told the Winnipeg Free Press\nthat the province is prepared to act on the\ncommission's ruling.\n\"We don't like it, but we'll abide by the\n[commission's] ruling,' he said, adding that\nan appeal isn't likely.\nGillshammer did not return calls from the\nCanadian University Press.\nBut Vogel and others say the victory is not\ncomplete. He and other provincial employees\nstill do not have the right to include their partners in their pension plans. The Manitoba\ncommission ruled that it was out of its jurisdiction to dictate the structure ofthe pension\nplan to the federal government 'It's not totally satisfactory,' Vogel said.\nHe says he believes the commission's ruling is an indicator of how much society has\nchanged in recent years.\n'I've been a gay activist for almost 25\nyears, and [now] is the most tolerant and\ndiverse I've ever seen. [The ruling is] symbolic. It's a sign that things are progressing.'\nPenner agrees, but says governments\nneed to take a more active role in the future.\n'Governments shouldn't wait for\nhuman rights commissions. They should\ngo ahead, take the initiative and take out\nthe remaining artificial barriers to [equality],' he said.\nIn 1987, Manitoba became the second\nprovince in the country to include sexual orientation in its human rights code.-* THSUeYSSEY \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 TUESrfcAY, JANUARY 13, 1998\nWriting\nCentre\nThe UBC Writing Centre offers six- or\ntwelve-week non-credit courses emphasizing\nEnglish writing for academic, technical and\nresearch purposes.

Trailing\n2-0 midway second period, UBC had\na two-man advantage for one minute\n47 seconds, but failed to connect.\nThe Birds then fell behind 3-0,\nbut made it interesting early third\nperiod when Dan Nakaoka and\nChris Low scored 42 seconds apart\nBut Mikejickiing's second goal ofthe\ngame at 12:46 was all the insurance\nroad-savy Alberta needed.\n\"[Friday] night, we didn't compete. \"[Saturday night] we did,\" said\nCoflin. \"There was some success. We\nmade a statement that we're going to\ncompete and for us that is really\nimportant Was our execution\npoor? Yes. Were there some\nparts of our game that have been\nand should have been better?\nAbsolutely. But the sense of purpose and the sense of team play\nwas much higher.\"\nBut there is a difference\nbetween being competitive and\nwinning, and if you ask the Birds\nthey much prefer the latter.\nIn fact, they seem to be\nstarving for a meaningful win.\nThey are just 1-6-1 over, the last\neight league games and it is not\ngoing to get easier over the next\ntwo weeks when the Birds faces\npowerhouses Calgary and\nSaskatchewan.\n\"This [past weekend] is not the\nway we wanted to start our second\nhalf,\" said alternate captain Andy\nClark.\n\"Yeah, we had a good third period [Saturday], but moral victories\ndon't count We lost twice at home to\na team that we split with on the\nroad.

On Friday night, UBC\nfinished off the never-say-Dinos in five\ngames, but struggled the following night,\ndropping the match three games to none.\nFans were the true winners both nights\nas they were treated to an exciting brand of\n-'Oilevbail that featured long rallies, acrobat\nics, and several strong individual performances.\nUBC power Sean Warnes had a spectacular weekend, diving over and under his own\nteammates en route to 36 digs, even taking\none off his face.\nUp front Jessie Veid and Mike Dalziel\nthrew a block party that constantly shut\ndown the Dinos, much to the fans' delight.\nAnd all this from a team that wasn't\neven firing on all cylinders. \"Most of the\nweek our big guns have not been at practice because they're injured,\" said UBC\nhead coach Dale Ohman after Friday\nnight's five set rally-point win (16-14, 15-\n1L 14-16, 5-15, 15-11). .\nCanada West All-sar Mike Kurz, who\ndidn t get much sleep all week because of\na bad back, put in the gutsiest effort Friday\nnight, as he led the team in kills and digs.\nBut even with Kurz in the lineup, Ohman\ndidn't expect things to get easier the following night. \"It'll be another war,\" he said\nwith a weary smile. He was right, but the\nBirds showed up armed with popguns.\nAlthough their stalwart defense did a\ngood job of holding off the pumped-up\nDinos for most of the night, it was clear\nUBC's attack lacked punch.\nThe 'Birds often looked discouraged\nand frustrated as they dropped the match\n11-15, 13-15, and 10-15. in another long\nmatch that saw countless side-outs and\nsome more spectacular rallies, the 'Birds\njust couldn't keep up with the Dinos, who\nweren't about to roll over.\nCalgary caught the home team off-guard\nover and over with little tao balls that taareiv\ngrazed the net. UBC setter Jamie Mackay,\nwho added to his role as playmaker by\npounding out 12 kills on Saturday, called the\nbloopers \"demoralising.\"\nBut the fifth-year starter refused to use\ninjuries or fatigue as an excuse: \"Those\njsoft taps] are the ones we want to pick up,\nthat we should pick up,\" he said. \"We just\ndidn't execute.\"\nBut despite Saturday's loss aE is not lost.\nThe Birds managed to keep their distance\nfrom Calgary in the standings and they are\nvery much in the playoff hunt. Next week\nthey Qy off to the University of Alberta, with\na chance to knock the second-place Golden\nBears down a notch or two.\nIf the Birds can tick their wounds in tune\nfor that showdown, they should be armed\nand readv.->>\nird Droppings\nWomen's Vofle*>bail:\nMaybe it was the holiday layoff. Maybe they were just not interested in\nfacing their fourth-placed opponents from Calgary, or perhaps the\nwomen's volleyball team was just waiting for something to happen.\nWhatever reason or combination thereof, the Birds didn't exactly drape\nthemselves in glory this weekend. Friday night, they got off to a terrible\nstart in the first set and lost for the second time this season after starting the season off with a perfect 11-0. Determined not to lose the third\ngame in the row, the Birds put in a better effort Saturday, beating the\nDinos m four sets (16-17, 15-12, 15-8, and 15-7). UBC is now 12-2.\nMen's Basketball:\nLast weekend the Birds did something no other Canada West team managed to do before: beat Lethbridge. After narrowly losing the first of a two\ngame set 84-76, the Birds beat the Horns 9 5-84 to spoil Lethbridge's perfect record. Thanks to 26 points from Nino Sose, 21 from John Dykstra,\nand 19 from Dominic Zimmerman, the Birds are now 4-4 on the season\nand still tied for third with Alberta,whom they host this weekend.\nWomen's Basketball:\nJessica Mils has become the player many thought she could be. Mills\npumped in a season-high 31 points Friday night and the Birds beat\nLethbridge 59-51. The Birds completed the sweep Saturday night, winning 66-52.

Nicol successfully appealed the\ndecision at another senate committee, but former York\npresident Susan Mann, who had the final word on the matter, overtumea the decision She was subsequently not\noffered another teaching position at the university.\nThe York University Faculty Association is arguing on\nDehaif of Nicol that procedural errors were made through-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ut the process, and say they are particularly concerned\nvilli the consideration given to anonymous statements in\nher file.\nThey say these statements, taken from student evalua-\n.ion forms, were neaviiy weighed in the process leading to\nNicol's denial of tenure. The association says the use of\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\"rich statements violates its collective agreement with the\n-imversity.\nThese forms induaeu statements like. \"Don't shove\nthis feminist garbage down my throat\"\nSeth Feldman, York's dean of fine arts, says the statements in Nicol's file are not \"anonymous,\" but are better\ndescribed as \"confidential\" statements that students\nincluded on their course evaluation sheets. He says these\ncomments were only used insofar as they demonstrated a\n\"disturbing pattern\" in Nicol's teaching.\n'Let's just say she took her politics to a personal level...\nand made students feel personally uncomfortable,\" he\nsaid.\nWhen Mann made the final decision against tenure for\nNicol, she stated that the teacher had a \"narrow ideology\"\nand \"did not address a wide audience.\"\nBut some of Nicol's former students who are supporting her in her bid for reinstatement say she introduced\nfeminist ideas m the classroom in a way that encouraged\nopen debate.\nAnd Linda Brisken, a professor of women's studies at\nYork, says professors often encounter negative responses\nfrom students when they introduce feminist ideas. She\nadds that the small number of negative comments in\nNicol's file should not have been used against her.\nNicoi'j supporters also say diat tenure is specifically\nintended to benefit professors wnc work in controversial\nand unpopular areas.\nThe case is currently under arbitration, out Nicoi's\nsupporters sav the matter will iaxe years to resolve\nunless Marsaen agrees to meet with the teacners representatives outside of arbitration and bring about a\nspeedy resolution. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nFormer dean of science sues Memorial University\nbv Chad Luff\nST. JOHN'S (CUP)-A former dean of\nscience at Memorial University is\nsuing the institution in an effort to get\nhis job back.\nAlan Law, who was dismissed\nfrom the position last July, has two\nsuits pending against the university.\nThe first, before the courts Dec. 5,\nis an application to overturn the original decision by an executive comrnittee of the Board of Regents,\nMemorial's highest governing body,\nto dismiss him.\nThe committee responsible for dismissing Law said senior aafrninistra-\ntion at the university had lost confidence in his ability to handle the\nFaculty of Science.\nThe dismissal touched off widespread concern among faculty and\nstudent groups regarding what\nmany felt was a summary decision\nen the part of the five-person committee without any outside consultation. Law has in turn received\ntremendous support from these\ngroups.\nThe Faculty Council of Science,\nwith the support of five other faculty\ncouncils, passed a series of resolutions\nasking for a review ofthe dismissal.\nLaw's lawyer, Claude Sheppard,\nsays the courts have the right to overturn quasi-judicial decisions like this\none.\nAt the last Regents meeting, the\nboard upheld the committee's decision to release Law.\nBoth university president Art May\nand associate director of university\nrelations Peter Morris say the executive acted within its bounds and they\nstand behind the decision\n\"The decision was made and acted\nupon, and the decision is final,\"\nMorris said. \"The university is comfortable with the decision it made and\nwe will let the courts make its decision.\"\nThe second suit to be dealt with\nsometime in this year, alleges a\nbreech of contract on behalf ofthe university.\nSheppard says when Law was\ninterviewed and enticed to take the\nposition, he was given a five-year\nrenewable contract Law served only\nthree years before being dismissed. It\nwas the first time in the history of\nMemorial Universite* a dean had been\nreleased before his contract expired.\nThe Board of Regents has requested that president May investigate the\nLaw matter and eventually recommend formal procedures to deal with\ndisciplining academic administrators\nsuch as deans and vice-presidents.\nMorris says there are reasons why\nregulations were not in place in the\npast\nIt's a very unusual circumstance\nthat a dean would have to be dismissed,\" he said. 'You don't necessarily plan for the exceptional circumstance.\"\nSheppard says the provincial court\nhas heard at least two other similar\ncases involving Memorial, and has\nruled against the -university in both\ninstances.\nSheppard also says he doesn't\nunderstand why the univ'ersite/has let\nthe issue go this far.\n\"The longer this thing goes on the\nbigger a switch it's going to make for\nthe rear ends of jaap Ttiinman and Art\nMay and even/body else that's in the\naohiinistration up there. \"\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nPurpose\nWho is eligible\nHow many\nLocation\nWhen\nStipend\nApplication Deadline\nHow to Apply\nTo provide recent university graduates with an interest in public\naffairs, an opportunity to supplement their academic insights of\nthe legislative process with practical legislative and administrative\nexperience\nStudents who have received a degree from a British Columbia\nUniversity by the program commencement date.\nSeven interns will be accepted for the 1999 program.\nParliament Building, Victoria, British Columbia.\nJanuary through June, 1999\n$10,500 for 6 months (under review)\n4pm, Friday, January 30, 1 998\nProgram applications are available from the Political Science\nDepartments and the Student Employment Centres on Campus, at\nthe University of Victoria, Sjmon Fraser University and the\nUniversity of British Columbia, They are also available from the\nassembly services office located at 431 Menzies Street,\nVictoria, British Columbia, V8V 1X4 THE UBYSSEY \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nLow-income students think twice\nabout higher education, says report\nby Michael Connors\nAtlantic Bureau\nST. JOHN'S (CUP)\u00E2\u0080\u0094Debt-loads for university students from low-income\nfamilies in the Maritimes are so high that many are rethinking whether\nhigher education is even an option, says a report released by a regional\neducation commission.\nThe Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission recently released a study which sur\nveyed the effect of rising tuition fees on students' perceptions of post-secondary education. Ray Ivany, one of the authors of the\nreport, says the study was commissioned to\nprovide hard data on what those effects are.\nWhile the commission found the number of\nstudents in the three Maritime provinces with\ndebt-loads over $25,000 had increased from 71\nin 1994, to 1,750 in 1997, Ivany says the more\ntelling finding is which students owe that debt.\n'We know by correlation that the students that\nare taking on the highest individual loans, and\ntherefore the highest debt-loads, come from those\nfamilies with the lowest household incomes,\" he\nsaid.\nIn 1995, Maritime students from low-income families\u00E2\u0080\u0094earning under $30,000 a year\u00E2\u0080\u0094borrowed an\naverage of $6,379, the report says. Students from middle-income families borrowed an average of $5,855,\nand students from high-income families borrowed\n$3,760.\nThe report also found that 64 per cent of these lower\nincome students cited student aid as their main source of\nincome during their university years.\nIvany says that, based on extensive survey data on students leaving\nhigh school last year, the committee found that students from lower\nincome families are more likely than other students to consider financial matters when deciding whether or not to pursue a post-secondary\neducation.\nThe report says 52 per cent of high-school students from low-income\nhouseholds are worried enough about debt to consider not attending\nuniversity at all, and 5 7 per cent of parents think the same.\nThe commission did find, however, that virtually all high-school\nstudents surveyed believed post-secondary education was vital to getting a good career, and many\nwere still willing to borrow to get that education.\nBut Ivany says this raises further questions\nas to how far these low-income students will\nbe able to go in their education.\n'If you finish an undergraduate degree\nwith a $40,000 debt-load, what are the\nchances of you then pursuing a graduate or\nprofessional program?\" he asked. \"Do we\nreally want to set up a system where the\nonly people who can pursue graduate work\nare those who can have the lowest debt-\nloads?\"\nThis is significant, Ivany says, because\ndata from Statistics Canada has consistently shown that the higher the level of\neducation, the higher the average\nincome upon graduation.\nThese findings come as no surprise, says Bob Prince, president of\nthe New Brunswick Student\n.Alliance. He says the way in which\nlow-income families view the possibility\nof getting a post-secondary education is particularly\ndisturbing.\n'Everyone knows what role parents play when students are deciding\nwhether or where to attend university, and if we have 5 7 per cent of\nparents who are thinking twice about whether post-secondary education is even a possibility, then that can only have a negative effect on\nwhether the student will attend university or not,\" he said.\nThe study was conducted with the help of the student aid offices in\nthe Maritime provinces and the .Angus-Reid polling organization. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\n^ ,ow.rs\nhouseholds are\nWorried enough\nabOU*dtfno?attending\nC\u00C2\u00B0*S\u00C2\u00A3Sty at all, and\nuniversity a\n57 per cent oi i\u00C2\u00BB\n\"ts think the same.\nfMim\nSee How\nThey Run!\ni\nALL CANDIDATES\nFORUM\nThis is your chance to ask the\ncandidates what their policies,\nplans and ideas are for your\ncampus.\nWhat makes them the best\nperson to vote for?\nThis is your opportunity to find\nout.\nWed, Janl4th, 1998\n12:30-2:00pm\nAMS SUB\nConversation Pit\nWATCH FOR THE ELECTIONS SUPPLEMENT IN THIS WEEK'S\nPAGE FRIDAY (JANUARY 16) OF THE UBYSSEY; AND DONT\nFORGET TO COME OUT AND VOTE JANUARY 19TH - 23, 1998.\n. *-*-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0.\n'*.

Jamie Woods, still\nrecovering from the Night of Rum at the National\nConference, could not make it to the party, but Ron\nNurwisah, who can hold his rum, did. But, in the\nend, it was Mike Brazao and Tara Westover who discovered the real purpose of the party and split\nbefore the frat house exploded in a ball of flame.\ni\nThe frats: on the road again\nLike a traveling caravan of drunken, fun-lovin'\ncarnival people, the frats are on the move.\nWith UBC looking to buy out the leases on\ntheir current digs on Wesbrook, the university\nis scouring the earth for a new and improved,\nbetter and brighter locale for our brotherly\nlovers of slovenly fun. So the question hangs\nin the air like a mooning ass out a second\nstorey window\u00E2\u0080\u0094where can UBC stick the\nfrats?\nWell, the university wants to keep those\nrascals on campus, so let's start there. How\nabout Nitobe Gardens? The scenic beauty of\nNitobe could inspire the frats to calm their\nrowdy ways, and soon the boys would be walking the garden paths in flowing white robes,\nhand-feeding the squirrels. On the other hand,\nthe possibility of hungover frat boys stumbling around Nitobe wearing nothing but 'Go\nNaked or Go Home\" t-shirts is a sobering one,\nindeed. Cancel your 8:30 class.\nHow about Wreck Beach? (Insert your own\npunch line here) After all the campus is getting a little crowded. Then again, the whole\nnaked-hippies-and-frat-boys-brawling thing\nhas been done to death, anyway.\nOK, let's move a little further out. A barge\nmoored in the middle of English Bay has myriad positive implications. The noise complaints would certainly go down, and the commute could only benefit the swimming program (those who make it) and/or the general\ngene pool (those who don't).\nOne word. Toronto.\nSince the tent city worked so well for APEC\nAlert, how about the frats set up a sprawling,\ncarpeted, canvas metropolis next to the SUB?\nYou could call it Margaritaville! Sure, the\nplumbing problems would be immense and\nprobably illegal. It would be so refreshing to\nsee the activist community giving the frats an\nidea to follow. Why, soon freeing East Timor\nwill be on the frat mission statement! .And\nwho could ever get tired of watching the\nRCMP breaking up Margaritaville with pepper spray and dogs? Friday night just got\nbooked solid!\nIf the UBC Physics department's \"Back To\nThe Future Project\" ever comes to fruition, we\ncould relocate the frats to the distant past\nNebraska in the fifties, for instance. Hey, it\nwas the last time that the white, straight,\nEurocentric male's rule went relatively\nunchallenged, and the UBC frats would reign\nsupreme. Unfortunately, you're running the\nrisk they might take it upon themselves to\nshape a brave new world, and the next thing\nyou know Liam Gallagher is President of the\nUnited States of Coors Lite.\nNow, there is always the possibility of a\ntrade with a neighboring university. How\nabout our fraternities, to SFU, for their\nMacLeans University Issue rankings. Let's\nmake a deal.\nThe Zoology department has enquired...\nOh, hell. Let's just sell them off for parts. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\n\"Bitching, bitching\nand more bitching\nIn my last four years of taking various Arts courses, reading innumerable newspapers, perspective articles, and being slapped in the face\nwith propaganda in combination\nwith .Arts and Culture a la 1990's,\nmy disposition and capacity to\nabsorb viewpoints, causes and\nadopt concerns for various issues\nhas reached saturation. At this point\nin 1998,1 think the time is right to\nvent penned up frustration with the\nmedia and their presentations and\nthe brainwashing of Canadians in\nall areas such as public policy, Arts\nand Culture, environmental issues,\nor what have you.\nFor example, read any opinion\ncolumn, watch any newscast or\nread any entertainment publication\nand what the reader invariably\nencounters is a barrage of bitching,\nbitching and more bitching or\nsome flagrant championing of\nsome fashionable singer, musician,\nmovie or product headlined by\nsome misappropriately chosen\ncelebrity or over-publicized identity/subject Psychologically, this has\ntraumatised my intellectual nature\nto the point where I cannot bear to\nread another Barbara Yaffe column, listen to another Rafe Mair\nshow, listen to an Anti-APEC\ndemonstrator, watch a newscast, or\nlisten to a radio station.\nI am tired of the merits of some\nservice, proposal, or practice being\nshrouded in the name of Human\nRights and Freedoms. I am sick of\nthe rights of the many being bound\nby under-educated, under achieving self-interested self-serving\nhacks who disregard the values,\nbeliefs and efforts of committed,\ndedicated, prestigious and invaluable forebearers. Furthermore, the\nmedia, journalists, and grand-\nstanders atop soapboxes are\nunmortalised as champions of a\ncause but sadly these people fail to\nprovide realistic ideas, substance,\nwhich can be used as a means to\ntheir ends.\nIn this same manner. Arts and\nCulture is unjustifiably, inappropriately, and for some reason unbeknownst and eluded by me, dictated by a select few inbred, pork-barrelling critics who have so much\nsway that the whims of the few dictate, assault and underestimate the\ndesires, sentiments and values of a\nsilent majority of burden-laden taxpayers who try to make an honest\nhving. A quick survey of movies like\nTitanic with Lenonardo DiCaprio\nand Romeo and Juliet with the\nsame illustrate my point My point\nbeing that no sooner is someone\nhailed as the next James Dean illegitimately than he/she is made into\na big star (legitimately-in the eyes of\nthe public).\nFurthermore, a survey of the\nmusic charts is filled with bullshit\nmediocre at best, fake, illegitimate,\nimfulfilling artists who deserve little more than small town notoriety.\nTo list a few: Sarah Maclachlan,\nBackstreet Boys, Aqua,\nChumbawamba Spice Girls, Will\nSmith, Hanson, Jewel, Jamiroquai,\nLL Cool J and many other alterno\nrock bands found on stations like Z-\n95.3 FM and 99.3 the Fox in\nVancouver. A quick survey of past\nfarces who have gone the way ofthe\nforgotten include: New Kids on the\nBlock, Paula Abdul, Fishbone, Big\nSugar, and innumerable other few\nhit wonders.\nIn a similar manner, the media\nand voices of Arts and Culture\ntogether wrongly gain undue credit\nand prestige in the same way as\npolitical actors like many interest\ngroups. As a result these groups\nfeed off each other and iminortalise\nthemselves into public illusions of\ngreatness behind which the legitimate artists and untold majority of\nthe public music endure and find\nthemselves, unjustly and wrongly\nunsatisfied by ignorant big headed,\nand meritless grandstanders of lesser intellectual ability. Unfortunately,\n1998 holds more ofthe same.\nAndrew Szabo,\nPotitical Science 4thyear\nUBC development\nanti-democratic\nDevelopment without democracy\nshould be a concern for all citizens,\nsince oligarchic governments are\ntoday, everywhere, flaunting the\nrights of people in favour of the\nrights of profit\nThe UBC/UEL community is no\nexception to the powerful call of\nmaterial wealth over public well-\nbeing. The B.C. cabinet now see a\nreal \"cash cow\" in the selling of\ncrown lands to developers, and\nhave proceeded without benefit of\ndemocratic procedure to attempt\nsale of \"Block 97\" (the village commercial area), as well as 14 additional lots without saying that the\nplanned estates will be for those\nwho can afford them \u00E2\u0080\u0094 for those of\nyuppie-happy incomes.\nThe panzer tanks of earth\nremoval will find their way into\nUEL backyards and parks unless citizens say STOP. Democratic action\nshould proceed all development\nplans. Students who feel this is no\nproblem of theirs' should remember the recent military exercises on\ncampus and look thoroughly to a\nfuture for themselves under such\nabuse of government trust\nNancy Horsman\nUEL Resident\n\"Good point Uoyd\"\nResponding to criticisms of Human\nRights violations at the University of\nBritish Columbia last month Lloyd\nAxworthy commented recently that\n\"the best testimony to Canada's\ncommitment to human rights is\nthat we have an open court system\nin which people who feel that police\nhave overreacted...\" can seek\nredress.

Wesley Pub,\nProfessor of law, UBC IHE UBySSEV \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 -\"TUESDAY. iANUARrU 19\u00C2\u00BB\n11\nCriticisms on APEC protests\nby Andrew Szabo\nWhen I read the one and a half pages\ndedicated to anti-APEC sentiments\nin thejanuary 9th issue all but one of\nthe letters struck me as a showcase\nfor anti-APEC support John Little's\nletter, titled \"APEC coverage not\nobjective,\" breaks strongly from this\nanti-APEC love-in and he rightfully\noutlines the mandate ofthe RCMP. It\nLs the RCMP's mandate, which he\nclearly outlines, which will shoot\nmost of the plaintiffs appeals down\nin court However, the plaintiffs do\noutline several occasions where the\nRCMP did overstep their bounds\nand violated many human rights on\na few occasions.\nSecondly, Mr Little indirectiy\ntouches on several points which are\nvaluable advice for the armchair protester who must be mobilised and\nthe traditional protest techniques\nwhich mam-\npeople disagree with. It\nerspective\nis the person-\nto-person\nviolent\nnature of fence ripping, cop-intimidating brute-man-force which gives\nprotesters a poor public image. I can\nthink of several alternative methods\nof protesting used by interest groups\nwhich would have been far more\neffective and visible to those dignitaries and heads of state. First, why\nnot protest on streets where motorcades pass by? Why not ask or canvass home owners/ renters to use\ntheir lawns as areas to erect signs\nand stage protests (on private property)? Why not plan \"sneak attack\"\ndemonstrations where you would\nappear on downtown streets? Why\nthreaten your personal wellbeing\nwhen, if you used your brains a bit,\nyou could have been visible on a reg\nular basis? Why threaten the police\nofficers' mandate? Why not organise\nmore publicly visible appearances'?\nFinally, in response to Chris\nWulffs \"UBC no place for ignorance,\" I find it especially offensive\nto know that APEC Alert tactics often-\ninterrutping classes without permission of the students or professors\nconcerned are \"justifiable\" in their\nminds. First of all, APEC Alert tactics\nin this regard are akin to negative\nbilling. In each of the four classes I\nwas in attendance on those days. Not\none person left and there was no\nnoticeable decrease in attendance.\nThis tactic was a failure and I can\nonly say that I was seconds away\nfrom forcibly removing the unwelcome and rude subject in each case.\nTo me, the whole APEC episode\ncalls for a code of conduct and\nbehaviour for protesters on campus\nwhich respects the rights of those of\nwho choose not to participate.\nUltimately, protesters and demonstrators should think of the\nCanadian Constitution\nand Charter of Rights\nand Freedoms in terms\nof what you can and cannot do instead of trying to deliberately shield their bullshit, uncreative,\nunsuccessful, and taxpayer-milking\nlegal costs under provoked violations of human rights. I cannot\nexpress the anger and grief that I feel\nthat some lunatic rapist, wife-beater,\nor what have you denies women\ntheir dignity and security while\nsome perverse crap-shoot lawsuit\nneedlessly interferes and chokes the\nalready slow and defunct justice system that this country has. Hence, you\nprotesters alienate a large part ofthe\nintellectually gifted with your tactics.\nUntil protesters makeover their\ntechniques they cannot count on\nnor anticipate my attendance at one\nof their poorly organised protests.\nAndrewSzabois a 4thyear\nPolitical Science student\nUBC FilmSoc\n24 hrs,\nJan 14 -15, Norm Theatre, SUB\nPretty in Pink\n,3^97 Wierd Science\nby Allan Beattie\n0ANMe<>SJt?a,\nwz\n\"\u00E2\u0080\u00A21*1 CO*\n(AVfc MISS*P \X\nXA/A\nc\ek To Mak of ir/\n.V \u00C2\u00AB.' \u00E2\u0099\u00A6.\u00C2\u00BB .\u00C2\u00AB<\u00E2\u0099\u00A6'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n. ...V.\u00C2\u00BB .4'-,\u00E2\u0099\u00A6'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2/'.\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'\nf - \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 'V* a ., V\n( Perspective\n-.,.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0,.*.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0**/\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 *\9-f':\u00C2\u00AB*t';~/'.\nAllan Beattie is a Vancouver artist\nwho contributes frequendy to Street News\nThe Faculty of Science Presents\nA Lecture Series\nfor ALL Science\nUndergraduates\nIt's new and it's for you!\n\"Learning and Memory:\nWorming Through Our Memories\"\nA Science First!

(The word youth was never, ever used.\nWe were not youths. We were just people who happened to be between the ages of 18 and 25.)\nAbout 250 of us intrepid souls braved the cold and an unappealing 4:30 start time Friday afternoon to sit down in a studio\nand communicate with the show's two producers, Helen and\nTina. No one seemed to know what to expect, including it would\nseem, the producers.\nThe meeting began with students inflicting a barrage of random and inane questions onto the producers.\nlighting or the benefits of certain camera models than in the actual structure of the show.\nBut as it turns out the premise itself seems to be, on the surface, rather solid. Young people\nare provided with a forum to showcase their work, be it a five minute animated film or a 27\nminute documentary. There will be no host And the format will be as flexible as possible. Sounds\ntoo good to be true. It just might be.\nTrue, those of\nus between the ages 18 to 25 will be given a showcase for our work, but given the amount of work\ninvolved and that VTV is a for-profit television station and not a student paper, the situation is\nrather unreasonable.\nBasically, we don't\nhave it as VTV retains the ownership of anything aired on \"Fresh Eyes.\"\nSo here is how it works. A youth, there I go I went and said it\n^_ _ _ _ .,_ goes out and decides to put together a five minute drama piece.\n^T \u00E2\u0096\u00A0* I ^~ This youth, man am I in trouble, has to write the script cast all the\njM J fc f parts, direct and film the thing.\nf VV V J^H r*^I*s 's ***** c*one on *1*s or ~ler t*rne' LlnPa'(' arl(l higUy unassist-\nj^at ^F JL ^^Z ed. VTV then gets ownership of the piece. Wow. What a deal.\nIt seems that the\nlocal station is intent on taking advantage of those who wish to make a name for themselves.\nA station should not expect someone to write, cast, direct edit a program and then lose the\nlegal right to their work just because they happen to be between the ages of 18 to 2 5. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nTcxM Silver is a fcwlhyear History student and a frequent co\na\nGail Fayerman\nDirector, Diploma in\nAccountancy program\nStill tops in\nbottom-line profession\nConcordia tops UFE national average again\nAspiring chartered accountants must first pass the\nrigorous four-day Uniform Final Examination (UFE),\nsponsored by the Canadian Institute of Chartered\nAccountants. Concordia's success in these examinations\nhas been nothing short of phenomenal, its students having co'nvincingly topped the national pass rate for the\nlast six years. In 1997 for example, Concordia's pass rate\nfor first-time writers was 70.4%; the Canadian average\nwas 64.5%, Quebec's 53.4%.\nFour Concordia Students Among Quebec's\ntop 10 for 1997 UFE\nJonathan Roiter and Lawrence Wilk, (fifth, ex aequo), Julie\nMoyen (seventh) and Sonalee Parekh (eighth), did themselves and Concordia proud. All are quick to credit their\nsuccess to Concordia's winning formula: a comprehensive\ncurriculum, and professors whose dedication and practical work experience prepare students for the real world.\nGail Fayerman, director of the Diploma in Accountancy\nprogram, continues to believe that \"Concordia's success is\nthe result of small classes which enable students to get a\nlot of personal attention from professors who are among\nthe best in their field. Also, our courses evolve quickly to\nkeep up with current developments.\"\nWhy Concordia?\nBecause Concordia offers more than 160 undergraduate\nand graduate programs on a full- and part-time basis,\nwith strong reputations in business studies, communications, psychology, history, fine arts, engineering and\ncomputer science. Because its college system offers a personalized approach to education. Because its friendly\natmosphere, very accessible professors and a student body\ntruly representative of Montreal's diverse population\nmake it a unique experience.\nBecause, at Concordia, you get to study with professors\nlike Gail Fayerman. And many others who are just as\ndedicated. And who are just as eager to help you succeed.\nReal education for the real world\n1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. W., Montreal H3G 1M8 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Tel.
