Journalists from the front lines consider the merits of the profession. Melissa rohde photo\nFact or opinion?\nExperts debate the role of the media\nby Sara Grosse\nNEWSWRlTER\nThe integrity and objectivity of\nmainstream news organisations\nwas called into question during a\ndebate between two media experts\nearlier this week.\nThere is a conflict between journalism and patriotism which journalists showed while covering the\nAfghanistan and Iraq wars, panal-\nists said Monday.\n\"We have this welter of opinion\nof masqueraded information and\nI'm afraid that what it's done is that\nit has infected the so-called mainstream news organisations/ said\nJeffrey Dvorkin, Ombudsman for\nNational Public Radio in\nWashington, DC, to a large crowd\ngathered at UBC's Rqbson Square\ncampus downtown.\nA change in the way new3 operated in the 1990s resulted in\naccountability to shareholders\nrather than listeners, and fact-based\nreporting was replaced by opinion-\nbased reporting, said Dvorkin.\n\"I think we have to get back to the\npoint where we are able to ask tough\nbut civil questions and to do it for the\nbenefit of our listeners,\" he said. \"I\nthink that's the value of what public\nradio does and the value of journalism in America and Canada today if\nonly we are able to recognise it\"\nDvorkin also saw a need to educate media audiences.\n\"I think we are at a difficult place\nright now where often our audiences are confused as to what is the\ndifference between opinion- and\nfact-based reporting,\" he said. . ~\nDvorkin called on reporters to\npresent information that allows the\naudience to form their own\nopinions.\n'We don't serve shareholders,\nwe don't serve the stock exchange,\nwe don't serve our political masters\nbut we serve our listeners.\"\nBut fact-based reporting is not\nsufficient for good journalism, said\npanel member Arthur Kent, an\nEmmy award-winning documentary\nproducer, who covered the\nAfghanistan and Gulf wars for\nMaclean's Magazine.\nInstead, he called for a more critical approach, suggesting that just\nreporting the facts can result in\nbiased reporting if what is being\nreported is not challenged.\n'As a journalist, you stand there\nat their mic stand and allow the\npresident of the United States and\nhis spokesmen to have all the airtime and say what they want to say,\"\nhe said. \"You are propagating their\nopinion.\"\nKent also took issue with US\nmedia coverage of the war in Iraq,\nsaying it was one-sided at times and\nwas not as critical as coverage by\nBritish and Arab stations.\n\"There was too much emphasis\non pyrotechnics, rather than the politics of the war,\" he said.\nEditorial stances interfering with\nreporting are also problematic\nfor Kent.\n'Personally I think this war has\nmarked a new and dangerous low,\"\nhe said. 'At no time since I first\nstarted pounding a typewriter in\n1973 have I seen the world's big\nbroadcasters in the history of journalism stoop so low editorially to\nreinforce the prejudices of their\nviewers.\"\nSome audience members were\nalso critical of journalism's role during the question period.\n'I don't beUeve journalism is\never objective or should it be.\nFundamentally, journalism serves\nthe media and I don't think it could\nbe very different,' said one audience member.\nBut others thought the debate\nencouraged audiences to reflect on\nthe impact journalism has on\nsociety.\n\"I thought Arthur Kent was\ninspiring in the sense that he\nencourages reporters to use the\nfacts to uncover stories and that\nopinion has its own place,\" said\nKathleen Haley, a first-year UBC\njournalism student. \"By uncovering\nfacts and by strong reporting you\ncan really do journalism that makes\na difference.' \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nHALLOWEEN WEEKEND\nCritical Mass Halloween bike ride, Oct. 31 at 4:30pm.\nMeet fellow costumed cyclists in front ofthe Goddess of Democracy (in front\nofthe SUB), then head downtown to join up with the rest ofthe Critical Mass\ngang at the Vancouver Art Galley at 5:30pm, with a crazee velo salute to sustainability to follow.

The club- then\ndecided to cancel their booking with\nthe university, she added.\nHoyles said there was no\nStudents for Choice presence\nbecause the 50-foot rula prohibits\nthem from carrying out their\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 demonstration effectively.\n\"It doesn't allow us to have a\n. good enough presence for people to\nreally be able to see that there is a\npro-choice presence there,\" said\nHoyles.\nThe 50-foot rule still applies,\nwhether the protesters are 'individuals' or not, said Michelle Aucoin, a\nspokesperson for the VP Students\noffice.\n\"It is respecting our general student population who may wish to\nIS ANYBODY RIGHT? The abortion debate continued at UBC yesterday as a Lifeline member and a\nstudent exchange views in the middle of a protest against the GAP display, michelle mayne photo\nactually talk to some representatives\nfrom both, groups,\" said Aucoin.\n\"That really wasn't honoured today.\nIt is quite disappointing that the\nincidents happened today.\"\nBut violence has never occurred\nwhen Students for Choice has\nattended a GAP display, said Hoyles.\n\"It gives people a more productive way of dealing with anger and\nfrustration at the display/ she said.\n\"They can come hold a sign, they can\nbe surrounded by other people who\nare pro-choice.\"\nPrevious pro-choice displays set\nup parallel to GAP were not booked\nthrough the university and were also\nin contravention of the 50-foot rule,\nsaid Aucoin. It was when Students\nfor Choice booked the space through\nproper procedure that they were\ninformed of the regulation, she said.\nAucoin could not comment on\nwhether the university will take\naction in response to the impromptu protest.\n\"We need to take a Uttle step back\nfrom the incidents of today and\nreview the kind of communication\nwe have had and determine what\nthe next steps are,' she said.\nDenise Schmidt, president of\nLifeline, the AMS club that brings\nGAP to campus, respected Students\nfor Choice's right to protest\n\"We are out here with our displays. They have a right to be out\nhere protesting us as well,' said\nDenise Schmidt. \"It makes it more\ndifficult sometimes to engage\nin conversation with students on\ncampus.' \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nUBC AGM calls for global\ncitizenship in students\nby Megan Thomas\nNEWS EDITOR\nUnder the glaring Ughts of a posh downtown lecture hall, the most influential\nplayers of UBC gathered Tuesday to give\nthe public a progress report and to convey a vision for the future of the largest\nuniversity in BC.\n'How well is the University of British\nColumbia meeting the challenge of this\nprecarious age?' President Martha Piper\nasked a well-dressed, standing room\nonly crowd at the Robson Square\ncampus.\nThe meeting, webcast for the second\ntime, revolved around the need to create\nglobal citizens in UBC students.\n'UBC is \"not an isolated institution\nproducing researching graduates in a\nsocial and ethical vacuum,' said Piper,\nthe first speaker in the lineup. \"For UBC\nto succeed we truly must meet the challenge of our age. Our graduates must\nbring forth a true sense of citizenship.\nThey must be global citizens.'\nTerry Sumner, UBC VP\nAdministration and Finance, spoke\nabout UBC's financial commitment to\nsociety.\n\"Here at UBC we beUeve we are setting an example of corporate responsibility and citizenship,' he said. \"We walk\nthe talk regarding our commitment to\nglobal citizenship.\"\nHe highlighted what he called\n\"triple bottom line reporting\": UBC's\nsuccess financiaUy, socially and\nenvironmentally.\nLast year UBC's endowment a fund\nthat is used for research and academic\nsupport across faculties, totalled $571\nmillion.\nThe university posted a $3.7 milUon\nunrestricted operating surplus, has capi\ntal assets, including buildings and property value, that now total just under $ 1\nbilUon, while the university's overall revenue reached $1.1 billion this year.\nTo close the gathering, Alexandre\nTrudeau, son of former Prime Minister\nPierre Trudeau, gave a more personal\naddress on the importance of global\nknowledge, drawing on his experiences\naround the world as a documentary\nfilmmaker.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"The challenge to understanding\neach other as humans is not getting easier,\" said Trudeau. \"The humanism that\nshould be essential tp our actions is\nalways in threat and education for me is\nthe key to global citizenship.\"\nAudience member Susan Einarsson\nasked the speakers how the university\nwould avoid becoming 'eUtist' amid rising tuition and admission standards.\n\"The debate that we are currently\nhaving is what is the right mix of pubUc\nsupport versus individual support,'\nPiper responded, adding that she is\nproud ofthe board's commitment to not\nturn away qualified domestic students\nfor financial reasons.\nGinder Chalmers, a board member\nfor the Vancouver Asian Heritage\nSociety, attended the meeting because\nof its global theme but said no stunning\nrevelations came out of the meeting.\n\"What I heard was just what you\nexpected to hear at an AGM,' she said,\nadding she would have liked to see more\nattention for pressing student issues\nlike recent tuition hikes.\nAnother audience member was\nthrilled with the quality of the speeches.\n\"They were winners, all five. And I\nam a university graduate from a very\nlong time ago so I have heard a lot of\nthese speeches,' said Clare Hucal, a\nUniversity of Manitoba alumna. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nMain garden makeover\nLibrary garden plans get\nexamined by expert\nby Michael Cook and Jonathan Woodward\nNEWS WRITER AND NEWS EDITOR\nAs Main Library is transformed into the modern\nIrving K Barber Learning Centre, the gardens in\nfront will be transformed to resemble the past\nPlans are in the works to alter the garden,\nremove trees, and reshape the land. This is\nintended to improve the view of the Learning\nCentre and make the garden into the more formal\nspace envisioned when Main Library was constructed in the early part of this century.\n\"There it is. [The garden] is a big hole in the\nground/ said Campus and Community Planning\nManaging Director Fred Pritchard. \"It's hard to\nget to, and it's pretty much unusable most of the\nyear if it's raining or wet.\"\nThe garden has strayed from its original\ndesign because it was incrementally replaced\nwith denser, more maze-like forests, he said.\n\"What we see there today is a far cry from what\nthe original concept was.\n\"We're looking at reestablishing some of the\noriginal intent of the library garden that had\nsome of the traditional aspects related to the\ncharacter ofthe original building,\" he said.\nBut Professor John Worrall of Forestry\nSciences disagrees with the university's plans for\nthe garden.\nToo many trees are being removed, he said,\npointing to the English Oaks along East Mall, a\ncedar hedgerow on the south side of Main Library\nand the potential removal of two large Cypress\ntrees at the entrance to Main Library\u00E2\u0080\u0094trees lit\nannually \"with Christmas lights.\n\"In a civilised society, one builds around trees,\nnot through them/ he said. \"I hardly dare leave\nmy office these days to go out on campus and see\nsome other atrocity.'\nPatrick Mclsaac, UBC's landscape architect\nhas been commissioned to engage the public with\nconsultation as well as catalogue each tree for its\nsentimental and heritage value.\nThe trees should not be removed from the heritage core of the campus lightly, he said.\n\"Trees have a value on the community level,\nand that can be pretty strong. Everybody in BC\nhas a stake in it'\nMclsaac will do a redesign of the area based\non the results of his information-gathering\nprocess.\n\"We should have a pretty good case for retaining most of these trees. I just think it's the right\nthing to do/ he said.\nBut it is clear that certain trees in the area will\nbe slated for removal, he said.\nFinal plans regarding the landscape around\nthe new Learning Centre will be made public\nlater this term. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nHAVE YOU PATTED YOUR TREE TODAY?\nPatrick Mclsaac has.

The scares go nightly\nuntil November 1 and include four\nfreakishly fantastic haunted houses,\nnot to mention unlimited rides on\nthe three scariest rides the PNE has\nto offer: Hell's Gate, the classical and\nalways amusing Coaster and the Big\nSwing Ride (which for many is\neverything scary summed up in two\nminutes of air gliding on a swing).\nI had the pleasure of getting an\ninsider's look from Chris Laing, who\nwas a member of the production\nteam behind the scary surprises.\nFor the first time, Spooky's Haunted\nHouses Inc., an Alberta-based com-\nBANANA OR DIE: Monkeys can be scary too. nic fensom photo\npany, has set up their haunted hous- er. According to Laing, this event\nes at the PNE for an event that has has generated crowds larger than\nproven to be a definite crowd pleas- expected, and it will most likely be\nreturning to Vancouver for more\n'spooktacular' Halloweens. Each\nhaunted house features five to ten\nactors eagerly waiting inside, clever-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ly hidden away behind ghoulish\nbackdrops and props. The sound\neffects and lighting set the mood for\none fun and freaky experience.\nAlthough the lineups can get\nquite long, and not eveiyone may\nfind the haunted houses scary, there\nis still amusement in the experience\nas a whole. A few Halloween\ninspired games are open for those\nwho like winning useless stuffed\nanimals for their significant other.\nAnd as always at the PNE, the rides\naxe never disappointing. Last, but\ndefinitely not least, nothing beats a\nhot sugary elephant ear and a cold\ndrink. If you're stuck for something\nto do on Halloween, or even the\nnight after, go check this out. Go\nearly, stay late and remember that\ncostumes never get frowned upon,\nso dress up. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nThe little ghost\nthat couldn't\nGHOST TRAIN\nat Stanley Park\nuntil Nov. 2\nby Dario Todorovic\nCULTURE WRITER\nI anticipated writing a warm and\nfuzzy segment on the Ghost Train,\nurging everyone to go for a pleasant\nELLIOT? ET makes for scares.\nMICHELLE MAYNE PHOTO\nHalloween ride complete with\ntreats, hot chocolate and marshmal-\nlows. This being my first time, 1 was\nexpited, especially since the Park\nBoard website boasted the event as\n\"the best date night around for the\nmonth of October/ enhanced\nthrough live performances \"by a\ngroup of some of Vancouver's most\ncreative and imaginative artists.\"\nWhen I arrived, parking was\nplentiful. There were no lineups and\nI anticipated a fun night complete\nwith a chilly ride on an open-car\ntrain. Having shelled out the nine\ndollar admission fee (adult price), I\nlooked forward to at least a 30-\nminute breai from entertaining my\ndate. By no means did I think the\nGhost Train would be scary or wild\nsince it was a family event, so I was,\ntherefore, fully prepared for cheap\nprops and exhibits (this year's\ntheme is Alien Invasion). But at nine\ndollars per person, the eight-minute\nride is undoubtedly the worst value\nfor a family event in the city. Since\nchild fare is $4.50, a family of four\nwould have to pay close to $30 for a\nslow and mediocre ride that hardly\nlasts eight minutes. As for the live\nperformances, I counted a total of\nCHOO CHOO! Ghost train riders take a voyage into the great\nUnknown. MICHELLE MAYNE PHOTO\nfour actors; stuffed dummies decorated most ofthe sets.\nConsidering that sensational\ncommunity events'such as the Trout\nLake Lantern Festival or the Alice\nLake Lantern Festival are completely free, this is undoubtedly the most\ndisappointing public event I have\nattended.\nThe Stanley Park Ghost Train is\nundoubtedly neither entertaining\nnor affordable for either children or\nadults. Paying nine dollars for an\neight-minute ride is like taking a\nchild to a local playground at\nDisneyland prices. On second\nthought, at least the playground\ntime would last longer. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nRead\nTHE UBYSSEY\nfor further\nannouncements!\n<9\no,\nInterview with a vampire in a\nDracula\nCOLORADO BALLET\nat The Centre\nuntil Nov. 2\nby Dario Todorovic\nCULTURE WRITER\nHaving received rave reviews from their home\naudiences of Denver for two seasons, the\nColorado Ballet brings their mesmerising and\nchilling performance of Dracula to Vancouver\njust in time for Halloween.\nA modern rendition of Bram Stoker's classic\ntale, Dracula is a feast for the eyes and ears.\nPerformed with all the skill and control tradi-\n. tionally associated with ballet while incorporating energy and theatric manipulation, choreographer Michael Pink brings together segments\nof climactic duos, impressive chorus dances\nand heart-pounding music to create a performance which oozes in blood and insanity yet\nmanages recognisably to stay true to the ballet\nform. Dracula continuously experiments with\nsets, presentation and delivery, incorporating\ntheatrical techniques not traditionally applied\nin ballet, and still tells a complete story with\nthemes and individual exploration.\nThough foremost a dance exploring the dark\nand forbidden world of the Nosferatu and their\nlord Dracula, the ballet also succeeds, as a sub-\ntheme, in exploring Victorian society.\nMasterfully, Pink directs a performance of\ndance and movement which somehow presents\nand delivers criticism of the social hierarchy of\nVictorian society which forbids the lower class\nto engage with the upper. Symbolically, it is the\nupper classes that suffer at the hands (or should\nI say teeth) of Count Dracula, who enacts his\ncruel punishment upon his social equals by\nappropriately feeding on their blood; an insane\nman is spared, however, only to be fed to the\nNosferatu lower classes, Dracula's own servants. Only in a masterful execution of dance,\nmusic and theatre, complete with beautiful sets,\ncostumes and acting, could a ballet deliver an\nexploration of Victorian elitism.\nIf there is any criticism to be made, a word\nmust be said about Pink's choice of interludes.\nIt will strike anyone in the audience that at least\ntwo segments do not fit into the general flow\nand plot of the ballet and awkwardly stand out\nfrom the greater presentation. Although these\nsegments are decently executed, they disorient\nthe audience, potentially leading toboredom.\nOutside of these distractions, the main\nsequences are entirely wholesome and fulfilling, and the last performance delivers an eerie\nyet charming dance by the blood-soaked vampires. Hua Zhuang delivers a brilliant performance as the Count, managing to actually frighten the audience with sudden emergences from\nthe darkness. Other individual performances\ntestify to the skillful versatility and energy of\nthe Colorado Ballet, which is to be expected\nfrom a troupe composed of men and women\nfrom seven different countries. This is one\nevent that will keep you dancing while you\ntrick-or-treat. \u00E2\u0099\u00A6"@en . "Newspapers"@en . "Vancouver (B.C.)"@en . "LH3.B7 U4"@en . "LH3_B7_U4_2003_10_31"@en .
